What happens here

The operator (Alex) utilizes the yellow CAT skid-steer to efficiently transport excavated dirt. The machine loads a full bucket of soil from the backyard, drives along a narrow, established path that winds through trees and a gate, and deposits the dirt onto a growing pile near the street. This action is performed repeatedly to clear the excavation area. The operator mentions that the pathway traverses school property and Williams pipeline easements, making the access a special privilege and requiring extreme caution to avoid damaging underground utilities.

Goal: The operator uses the yellow CAT skid-steer to transport loads of dirt along a designated path from the backyard to a temporary dump pile by the street, repeatedly loading and unloading material.

so part of our delay on this project is just pepping the dirt in we've got to come from this road down this path through this narrow gate under the trees through the backyard and up and into the job site we've still got a lot of picking to do which means i need to be sorting and separating materials out on the underneath the project out on the project and then um it's going to be pretty easy for us to get swamped with dirt so we pulled the second machine in and that also gives us more time to spend compacting dirt as well i think it's his right arm yeah it's alex's right i heard you got kicked off the job yesterday [Laughter] were you just throwing a little too much block and trying to get in there too much or what happened that's what was going on yeah i just grabbed the shovel and i just couldn't just stand there and you know be that guy to point the finger i just had to get in there and blame to get you got to get out of here you got to go you can't you can't do it you can't keep doing it all right well yeah we can't pull the bottom foot in because the wall will collapse but these i don't want to see these white ones here so i'm going to try to just snap off the tops because they're about four feet deep and i'm a little worried that if we try to take them all out it's going to leave a cavity and soft spots down the road for the wall so if we pop that out then the soil will get soft and it'll be fine now but in a few years they could have issues i got that stuck yesterday yeah i said i heard that those boys over there came and gave you a hand yeah the neighbors saved my butt which is cool yeah that is really cool yeah i know a lot of guys like you you know yeah you know what's wrong with guys that would do that you know because they would i mean i i know when i first got into um social media there were guys coming out oh you run his junk all your stuff is rattle can crap right and i'm like what what do you run they're like well we're big on instagram this one dude said it and i'm like okay and so i went to his instagram post because i mean i didn't know what big on instagram was but he had like five six thousand followers on there which is you know great for him yeah but then he'd have posts up oh look at that guy stuck down in the bottom maybe i should jump in and show them how to run but i'm not gonna it's like when i saw that i'm like oh my god that's exactly the kind of person i don't wanna be i don't wanna be that guy that's that douchebag to…
