Thanks for watching my channel and your question. Baker Metal local metal fabrication place here will cut them to the size that you need.

Thanks for watching my channel in your question. Very carefully, lol sometimes we have to set some temporary pilings.

Thanks really appreciate the kind words and watching channel 😊

😊

Thanks for your kind words and watching! I really appreciate that

You do have the skills to pay the bills indeed

Thanks for watching my channel and, yeah, it was about a six hour test when I took it back in the day not sure what all the different requirements are today

@@DaleWHickmanwhat specific license did you need to get for marine construction?

Thanks for watching the channel and your comment we appreciate that!

at @14:55 made me nervous.

Thanks for your comment and watching my channel. We got some good white sugar sand here and it feels back in almost immediately and yes, we can install in the same hole if that’s the way or layout works with the vibration system that I use it compact the sand, nice and tightly around the Piling.

Yeah, you really have to be on your toes with this thing. These poles are very heavy. I gotta make sure I keep that blade in front of me while picking up the Piling so I don’t tip over.

@@DaleWHickman Thanks for response.

Thanks for watching my channel. I appreciate your comment. That is good to hear. Thanks for letting me know where you’re from! Keep up the good work. 💪👍

Thanks for watching my channel and your question. Just Merkey because we’ve been jetting holes for the Piling stirring up the mud.

Thank you, Taylor

Hey Britt, yes we have salvage probably about 600 of them so far and probably have another 500 to go. I purchased a sawmill and now I am mailing them up into Good lumber. This stuff is very heavy 90 pounds per cubic foot density of 3000 psi You can see what we have in stock on my wife’s Facebook page if you like. facebook.com/Hickmansreclaimeddockwoodforsale/

Thanks for your question and watch how much channel if you would check out this link, my wife has a reclaimed yard and everything that is still good gets processed and sold. facebook.com/Hickmansreclaimeddockwoodforsale/

Thanks for your comment and watching my page I appreciate that first time I’ve ever dealt with the greenheart some heavy stuff and beautiful

Absolutely. My pleasure. I used to a lot of marine construction in Miami. And to be honest I'm impressed with the amount of work you can do with that little 308. And the greenheart are very heavy. Id say anywhere fro 80 to 100 lbs a linear foot. But they're definitely superior to a cca pile because of the natural oils that inhibit marine growth. But they definitely cost some $$$.

Yes, she required to have a specialty marine contractors license or a state bring contractors license and a GC contractor can do it as well

😂😂

Thanks for your comment and watching sorry it’s been a while. I just stay so busy on that tractor now.

Thanks for your question and watching my channel Filing to have a marine saltwater treatment of 2.5 CCA, which is the amount allowed by Florida

Thanks for watching in your comment. Yes there are some shady builders here and there, but there are some good ones. Also appreciate your kind comments about my company.

Thank you for watching my channel Yes, the pizza is very good. Depends on the places you go.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment!

Thanks for watching my channel and your question. Haven’t really set up a program for doing that as of yet especially not in a local area lol I don’t want to train my competition because I’ll be as good as me 😂😂

@@DaleWHickman I’m in a different market which is why I asked. Down in Tampa area but what you said will apply if I go to anyone here lol.

@@DaleWHickman I’m not looking to be trained by someone I’ll be in the same area competing with, so I respect that and understand that from a business perspective but I would like to learn from someone good versus anyone who will teach me catch my drift capt? 😎

Make sure watch my channel and your comment yeah some of my guys would wear flip-flops. If I let them we try to at least protect our feet.

Very cool!

Thanks for watching the video. I do like sharing lot Detail but I don’t want to give away too many of Custom secrets of construction 😃

I understand totally. I went through a lot of frustration recently with local contractors and ended up replacing a 50’ section on our dock myself. I spent a lot of time on your channel and others looking at different construction methods. Thanks.

Thanks for your comment and question. Check this job out the other day as we’re building something on the lot and everything looks as when we built it

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I do love the 308 track very versatile.

Thank you for you’r comment and question yes they are very usable in that situation. You just gotta make sure you get the right size anchor and the proper penetration to be able to carry the load.

😄

😂

Thanks for your comment and question. The 4 x 4‘s are just temporary supports to hold the wailer up if it’s a conventional non-naval style wall where we typically use pilings.

Thanks for your comment and question. Soil conditions and water depth have a lot to do with the proper penetration of my docs in a Sandy situation. We like to get a minimum of eight, but I do prefer 10 as far as the minimum I would say six, but I do like 8’ that.

Thanks for watching my page and your comment you are correct. We have to do daily maintenance on our equipment to keep it in shape because the saltwater will really eat it up.

Thanks for watching my page. That’s terrible to hear what was the cause of the retainer wall failure? The construction method?

Thanks for your comment and question. Concrete; caps really increases the cost of the seawall. It makes it hard to be competitive with some of the smaller contractors in the area. Most people just really don’t care for it. They like the synthetic top cap which allows a good pressure release during storms with the gaps in between the deck.

Thanks for watching my channel and your question not really sure what that is. Sounds like it might be pretty heavy also.

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate that and watch my channel. Good luck on your project.

@@DaleWHickman do you guys do out of state work? I'm in SC

Thanks for watching my channel in your question. It is a 308 cat with a cat compact.

😂👍

Thanks for watching my channel in your comment. Yes, they are a bunch of hard-working guys.

I hope y’all won’t miss too much with this storm

👍👊💪

Thanks for watching my channel and your comment. There’s a lot of different variables to go in to pricing that would have to be something done by the estimating department. I don’t like to share prices on the Internet as giving away numbers to local competition.

Thanks for your comment and question if proper treatment is used on the deadman pilings they last forever as long as you eliminate the oxygen decreases rot. But you definitely have to use the right treatments.

Thanks for your comment in question you are correct bugs snakes, alligators

Thank you
