Everything was wrong about this jobsite. Every basement in the complex was flooding 4 k vid pt 1/2

with a piece in my hand good shot as I walk to the water for a last goodbye he [Music] makes right so he said when he healed on the keys all over our head I live in that grip and now he'll learn at the end with the tables turn forgive me seeing me [Music] this site that you were gonna go on guys is fouled up beyond all recognition whoever did the initial grading on this site set everything to high and so these guys have been getting wet basements for years now and today we're going to correct that with a very simple technique and we're going to show you what that is but before we get into that I'm gonna turn this over to Sam who's going to describe what's happening on the rest of this job site next step here all of these patios all the way along the back here are gonna be getting removed along with all these amber Mabel's so we gotta take all of this up these uh these amber maples sir they're pretty pretty decent size so all that all these all these little patios all the amur maples are gonna be removed and the reason we're removing them is because they're set to high so that's pitching all of the water directly into the basements behind them oh I'm gonna have a little a little bit of chainsaw work going on which is my favorite same thing with the grade going down the side here no we're gonna make a little bit of a swale going up along this side send that water straight down towards the street where it needs to be and of course it just started raining so yeh you can see all the water pooling on these little patios and that rain sitting on those patios isn't necessarily working its way down into the basements below it so yes let's start making some stuff out I like that it keeps seems like the chain kind of keeps working itself loose though yeah usually go hang up oh yeah no it's great my old uh my steel has those the tool list which is a nice that's her oh yeah that's it that's Kim that's comparable to my steel I did not think that that was I didn't think I was gonna like it that much it's surprisingly quiet too quiet it's alright we got a lot of trees removed so let's go on to a montage add some music and speed this thing up [Music] so much weight on my shoulders [Music] just beware doors [Music] [Applause] [Music] there's a big old one oh boy we grabbed me right [Music] when it comes to brush we like to smash it pack it in as tight as possible you can never overload a dump truck with brush weight lice well now you can get it blowing out you're going down the road that's a different story but wait lice man you can pack it tight you wanna honest but you don't understand oh you wake up again we've been using this on job sites now for a few months and it has proven itself to be one of the cruise favorites so I know some of you guys might be interested in it I'm gonna give you a 30-second overview on this thing and let Sam show you some of the details on it right now you go 18 inch blade on it it's battery-powered he's got a big 56 volt battery in it it's pretty quiet yeah so here we go little feet light down there it's got a kind of light the little things with the trees gone it's the next step and that's sliding the decks out away from the building we're not just Smashing and bashing we're actually grabbing them and trying to gently pull them away from the structures so that we don't damage any signing any foundations or anything like that now one of the things you find that we don't do when we're handling concrete trucks like this is to break it into small pieces we try to keep them as big but still manageable as possible that way we make less trips and it's just a little bit more efficient so you won't find us often using a concrete hammer we use the beak for a lot of our work what we're going to try to do with these big pieces of concrete is fold them up like flapjacks carry them down and then set them into the dump box or the dump bed that way when we can stack them we're not creating air spaces and voids and we can actually get a truck to haul a lot more as well so a lot of for a lot of them on the job actual I don't know what you call it just experience real-world experience has taught us that this is the best way to do it now what's going to be kind of weird is for a demo job stuff that's just gonna get hauled away and disposed up we're actually pretty careful with it we really don't want the pieces getting any smaller than what you see right here this is the perfect sized piece to go into the back of a truck because we can fit them side by each in the back [Music] now you're about to see one of my absolute favorite things with this beat this is actually meant for demolition and it's the bottom times are designed to let you just gently angle up that beak is designed to grab and pull and we use this thing on so many jobs [Music] all right so about know we're cutting dry before we get a bunch of comments about that there are no hose attachments out here well actually OSHA or I don't actually know what department you guys tell me who it is that finds you on this stuff they won't let you get away with doing this anymore you gotta have portable hose tank attached to it so these guys need to make sure to do that on the next one [Applause] so typically I like to dig out stumps I'm not a fan of grinding them down because I still feel that you leave something behind and they can rot and create a depression but if you look all around where he's grinding the stumps those are gas lines and electrical lines and that means those roots are interconnected with those lines wrapped around them so if we go ahead and try to yank those stumps out we're gonna be inevitably damaging those gas lines so our best option at this point is to grind these stumps down that below-grade enough that it will allow us to change the grades without damaging those gas or power lines [Music] so while the stumps are getting ground down we've still got more demo to do and then we can start on the regrading an excavation so let's give you a bird's-eye view what it looks like right from the top of the beat [Music] [Applause] [Music] you can see by keeping these pieces a hole we can fit a lot more into the bed of a dump truck Plus just getting them down the hill and into the truck is a lot cleaner operation if we had a bunch of small pieces scattered around in a bucket you always seem to lose one or two then they get caught under your tires or in your tracks or worse yet bury it into the ground and then you're digging them out later so we like to keep them whole and stack them like flapjacks all right you guys that's all we got for today but make sure you stick around because I'm gonna be releasing part two to this right away so you guys don't have to wait now while I got you here do me a favor hit the subscribe button and the Bell notification it's up in one of the corners and then do me one last favor check out the two videos I'm going to post up here for you guys and hit the share button that's it you guys the demo is done the the excavation starts next and the restoration which usually takes a little bit longer than the demo on excavation but it's still a pretty cool process and you see that coming right down the pipeline god bless and go get em you guys
