Layout and Digging Footings

in. [Music] We're sitting at 36 deep, 25 in wide. So, we're looking pretty. We're also going to clean it up with a shovel a little bit so the solo tube can go in comfortably. By the way, this is like my third time ever on an excavator. [Music] We got three out of the five holes dug. My only problem is getting back having an exit route. Uh with the holes being here, I'm going to have to either maneuver around them or do something cuz uh if the track catches it, I'm going to flip forward. But also, I'm riding right on the edge over there for it to tip that way. So, you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. Uh knowing me. Well, damn. Let's just do it. [Music] So, we're digging. Okay. I don't like the feeling I'm already shifted down here. I don't want to get my boom across over there with my bucket cuz it's going to tip me forward. Um, I'm trying to dump the dirt right in front of my blade here just so I can drive over it because it's slanted down. So, I don't want to I'm basically trying to create an escape path after I'm done here. Uh, I don't like this feeling at all. Fingers crossed there's no accidents today. I just have one small little lip right here. Fortunately, I know this ground is a little bit tougher, but it's not the best. So, I'm essentially working with the width of a track, which is what, 10 in wide. If I can safely get onto that, I should be fine right here. But damn, I'm patting it down like it's going to do anything to like a 12,000lb machine. Yeah. Well, I got to keep going forward a little bit more because if I do it right now, it'll fall the dirt. It'll push the dirt in and my nose my the front of my blade will go in. So, I gotta get like I gotta get that track out of that hole. Well, I see. Yeah, I see that from here. That's some scary Holy That was one of the sketchiest things I've ever done in my life. And keep in mind, we put a 5,000 lb ridge beam onto this building with a teleah handler. A forklift basically. That was so sketchy. 10 in. That's what I was riding on. It was caving into the hole. It was caving outside of the hole. I knew my track would catch, go into the hole, and I would tip right down that hill. I was actually even figuring out like which way to brace. But thank you for the thoughts and prayers. We're alive. Last hole to dig. I'm in a safe spot. Let's get this dug out and call it a day. Well, we screwed up on something. I took full responsibility. Let me show you. We got our footings, which we went way…
