Just taking an unofficial POLL: MBTS Aaron as "Sweet little feller you want to put in your pocket and call him buttercup".
Or Dirt Perfect Mike as "Perfectionist big dad micromanager you want to have run your job sight and call him Michelle."
Let the numbers show the true will of the people...
P.S. I erased my vote so it doesn't skew the numbers... so cast your vote.
A) Mike
B) Aaron
3) Matt
Mike 😜😁
All of the above 👍🤣
All have their uses...... 😎
Holy Cow! Those footings were cleaner then the floor joists over at the Castle! Good job guys!
As a teenager I worked as a helper at a construction site prepping footers for pouring concrete. This was for an apartment complex and after about 2 dozen foundations were poured and the block was laid the surveyor quit. Turned out he had messed up the measurements of all the foundations by 6 inches too narrow. Learned some new words from the head of the project.
Lookin good so far, Aaron does a super job of supervising!!!!!!
Lol thanks Tony
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻that’s right
👍Nice precision work; probably a nice change from pushing trees and repairing dams. Thanks for the vid.
Yes it was
Every time I hear that tune at 34:40 it makes me wanna slick my hair back with some Palmaid, put on my City Slicker dancin' shoes are break out in James Brown dance moves. Definitely MoTown Motor City music.
Awesome job Mike.
No crew in America coulda done a better job than your crew of misfits lead by the legendary slacker MBTS.
Two days and no slacking !!!
Plenty of laughter on site, makes all the difference Mike 👍
That is how most footings are poured over here, makes sense to use what you have at hand 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Smooth move, looks like you are defying gravity.
Very nice job Mike. Need to get an AC unit on Aron's hat !!!! Lol. Please don't take Aron's equipment without asking. Don't want to get him upset like he was. Lol. Have a good one and be safe you all !!!!
😂😂😂 I agree
NICE acrobatics with the 304 Mike. 👍👍
Thanks
Its so good to see people working and having fun.
Thanks
Just three words Mike, informative,educational, funny.
Thanks Tom
You guys work how used to like to,serious when You have to be ,and funny when you want to be.
Another great job by DP and band of hard working men.
Thanks
Great job as usual. I bet Aaron was a fun kid to have around. Several years ago we had a kid in our neighborhood that was a lot like Aaron. He was a hoot and could make anyone laugh, even on the toughest days. Have a blessed and safe weekend, and stay healthy.
My main goal no matter how bad of a day I’m having is to keep everyone smiling 👍🏻😉
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 That's also been a goal of mine for over 40 years. Humor can help in stressful times. Keep 'em laughing, plus we enjoy it as well. Have a blessed and safe weekend. Stay healthy.
William Matthews thank you sir and you too
Good video again the Job site is looking good but what do you expect dirt perfect is doing the job tell Aaron what’s up you are like me got to have that Pepsi good soda Y’all be safe my friend
In my younger days I had the opportunity to work for a man that taught me so many things about the excavating job. I really appreciated his wisdom an sharing his knowledge.
it really influenced me. as an operator. I gave him much respect for that. I have to say you remind me of that man. Thank you for your teachings. By the way here at home we call people like Aaron Contraries they do all the wrong things for the right reason. Bless you guys
Thanks awesome
All right now children work well and play together
😂😂
This be my dream home on a slight hill with a lake below 👍
Great video, the drone really shows the job perfectly. I was waiting for Aaron to do a couple of somersaults with his rubber boots on. Lot of hard work. Kevin
Thanks
Next I think it might be a back flip 😉
Great video dirt perfect for awhile I thought this was a episode of the Simpson's dirt perfect as bart Simpson and man behind the scenes as homer Simpson
Lol
So I’m dad!!😂
I love the ICF projects!!
Another Perfect job. You guys are amazing to watch.
Thanks Gary
You guys do nice work. . that looks great on those putters. You guys be safe out there.☕️🍀👍
Thanks
So we have seen Aaron do the work DP does. Now we need to see DP 90 feet off the ground welding catwalks.
lol no sir
I agree 😁
I came out of retirement and dug a footer with crawl space inside a shoe box for my neighbor with a full size backhoe Saturday. A mini would have been nice but that isn't a challenge Mike......😂 The help had no experience and I shot grade with a transit, appreciate what you have. 😎
lol I bet
Excellent. Can’t wait more for the next . Job well done
Welcome to the Dirt Perfect and Man Behind the Scene Show plus Matt, great job
😁
Excellent u make my miserable days into good days I need a job
Awesome
beautiful Golden Retriever! Looks like a young one.
Another awesome video Mr. Dirt perfect. You definitely have one great crew..
Thanks and yes I do
Nice job. Glad you got a little workout of Aaron very little. LOL.
If only I could get Mr Dirt Perfect out of the equipment I would show him how a real man works 😂
That footing price just went up ! I broke down and bought that new Hyundai 140 with a. Blade. From dealer down by you. Boone equipment bardstown, Kentucky. Brand new out the door on a truck for 119. Couldn't find that price up our way. 3200 to deliver it. About 950 miles. Headed my way with it today.
Awesome
That is extremely exciting you are going to be so happy with that machine they really impressed me I don't own one YET but used one for two weeks and I think by next spring maybe we will be able to do so gotta figure the best way to go about it happy for you Thumbs Up My Friend
@@mountainviews5025 yha. They have been a decent machine to us. We had all Hitachi years ago. Then in 2007. Went to Hyundai. , they dont hold there resale. , but there cheaper to buy. We had bad luck with the first new one in 2007. But there better now. We currently run. 7 hyundai's and one mini yanmar. And one 330 john deer
Footing perfect.
Todd can you send me a email mike@dirtperfect1.com thanks
Nice work well done. 🙃🙂❤️
Thanks
Ok
nice job good to see people still do that trick when you get baked into the wall my grandpa did it all the time
Thank you so much for sharing, ya’ll seem to have fun and thank you for keeping it real! God bless you all! Great video!
Thanks micheal
Good morning guys. Job looks great. Take care and have a blessed day
Thanks
And that is why they call you Dirt Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You sir are correct 👍
Glad to see those wide footers on unknown soil. Wise choice.
👍
Great job guys👍glad the weather hell out for you
Thanks
Ladies and gentlemen the reason Aaron can't operate the excavators or dozers. Is they much like Disneyland have a height requirement. Lol God bless
😂🤣🤣I love it my 12 year old daughter gets to ride more rides than I do at Disney land
Awesome Job!!
Thanks
Jerry could have done the footer without the laser,ha harrr,nice one Mike stay safe you and yours.
lol
Glad the AC guy has now shown up and taken care of his heat problem. 10/02/2020
Lol
Me to
😂😂😂 me too!!!! Now where’s the heating guy😂
I think this is the first time I've seen dirt perfect sweat
You always have an audience on your sites! That's good stuff!
lol yes we do
Power move in the corner Nice work
YOU guys Laugh from the start to the finish, seems like a good bunch !!
Thanks
you have one hell of a job. It may be long hours but it sure does look like a blast
I've never seen footers done like that, very interesting. Up here ( southern Maine) they'd use wooden forms, pour and strip the boards off, I like the way you do it, saves time and materials, I learn something new every time I watch your Vidja's.
Down south we call it “Earth Form Footers”
@@tomroe2861 thanks Tom, they look pretty good
Done here in NB (Canada) like you said.. never seen it done this way but with the soil there guess you could easily enough..saves a lot of work and $...
@@1244taylor You guys run in to alot of marine clay AKA blue goo?
@@frankbirkemose4967 No not that I know of..
Another great job
Thanks
Always enjoy the banter
Looks great 👌🇺🇸
Thanks
The ditch is wayyyyyyy better
You guys do great work I would be happy as f*** if you did a job for me like that can't wait to see the next video god bless you and your family
Good to see another video with Matt and Aaron featured.......I know MBTS is back to his 'real" job but where is Matt these days??? Great video..thanks for posting
Still helping me
Dynapac and Volvo. You are approaching Sweden more and more.
Lol
@@DirtPerfect Jeupp.
I wish I'll contractors took as much pride in their work as some do, I'm in a different line of work. I still take pride in it marine repair
Footing perfect.
Great work Mike!
I wish more companies used ICF for foundations, I watched several homes being built here in Virginia with basements and they use conventional forms they remove afterward and, just doesn't give you the insulation and water barrier as ICF does. its a shame. Great job to you and your crew, even the man behind the scenes
Ted Butts depending on the soil type(location in VA) they may not be able to use ICF. Soils around Richmond, Chesterfield county, and Henrico county are known as “shrink/swell” soils, moving dramatically with changes in soil moisture. Roanoke was bad for that too. Ive lived everywhere in the state except Northern VA and Far SW but Southside VA with its sandier clay soil would have worked well.
Aaron is highly qualified to be a stupidvisor. Lol God bless
Aaron is my hero after watching him weld footways way up high on what I thought was a grain silo.
There's the wobbly bucket we all know and love! 😂😂😂😂
Great work.
Thanks
Beautiful location for the house and great pour... thanks...
Thanks
Great video Mike. Hope you are able to build a pond and the pole barn too. Have a great weekend.
Thanks
Love the video guy'S .
Thanks
Nice job!
Thanks
That lil 304is twice as strong as our 2018 model
Aaron what a site shorts and rubber boots 😂
😂😂 that’s the new trend for 2020🤣
Surprised no short rebar spanning across the footing. Also a vibrator makes moving and leveling the mud really easy. Love the baby float. Sure beats hand floating. Our pour today was probably close to 100m3 (Canada) in 2.5hrs with a 120 foot pump.
There was
I saw some but would think the distance between them should be less.
Some very nice work there Mike! Well done! :-)
Thanks Chris
Its good to hear someone is still doing ICF. Its pretty much flat up in southern Maine.
The ditch is better looking
Love the music @ 24 Min.
Looks like crazy home owners!!! Ha ha
lol just the brother 😝
Yea I hear he is a stickler for load securement!!! And proper signage!!!
Watch what you say 😜
Awesome job guys
Thanks
Love your videos keep them coming
Thanks Richard
Nice neat layout!
Thanks
Mike... as an experienced roller operator... I have to agree with TMBS! When you are looking forward to having having that huge personal vibrator beneath your seat... learning that someone else is enjoying the ride is a rude awakening! Hopefully he doesn’t go to HR and file a grievance for misappropriation of employee benefits.
Aaron and Matt work well together... it’s like watching Penn & Teller... except neither one of them want to be the silent one!!!
Did you introduce the third helper? I missed his name.
lol thanks buddy and Matt
here its all female operators only running them, niles of new 4 lane high ways to big condo;s
I vote for the ditch
Look like the bees like you guys
Great work
Keep Dirt Perfect out of the rain? Does that mean he is made of sugar? This is one of my favorite episodes!
lol thanks Dave
😂😂😂he acts like it
Good job 👍
a ditch look so much better lol
"The footer float". LOL...
Nice work
Thanks
Hey Aaron did you notice how Mike climbed that 3 foot wall of dirt. That's what is called talent. Perhaps some day when you grow up. You may find talent. Lol God bless
I’m working on it he is 15 years older than me so he should be a little better😆
So MR. MBTS was lollygagging and 'Ol DP had to jump on the vibrating roller then Aaron gets squirrelly about it... Time for a wet noodle whippin'. 😎
Great job on digging another laser perfect hole in the ground Mike.
Nice job. Looks like a beautiful spot for house. Gorgeous views
What DP did not explain is he has plus or minus a tenth on his subgrade so if his receiver mounted to his linker rod weather re receiver beeps fast, slowly, or soild tone is on grade or within that plus or minus making that Grade ! Hope this helps you understand better how checking grade is done !
Aaron you hang in there its hard working for someone thats so perfect just keep getting on all the other machines practice makes you better theres only two Perfect operaters thats Dirt perfect and Letsdig 18 lol
You are right as soon as I get my new glasses I will be ready to show him what I can do lol
Lol thanks James
18:04 - The machine may not have finesse, but the operator sure does!
Awesome 👌 👏
The ditch looks better.
Nice job Pro!
Thanks
What's up with the thumbnail? I was sure we would see some boulder drilling. Oh, that was the slump. That is a good foundation made possible by teamwork from professionals... and superb supervision from The Man Behind The Scene of course. LOL Great job by Matt also. The main equipment operator did okay... I guess.
Lol thanks
I agree he did okay 👌
I work in the coal mines here in southern indiana a d they tell us 20 years the ground should be completely settled. Ive seen some areas with nothing but crap dumped in them and i wouldnt even set a yard barn on it. But properly reclaimed ground i wouldnt mind building
failed on keeping the boots clean but made grade on 3 of the 3 levels 98.9% + bonus point for not running over laser or its box 99.9%
lol thanks buddy
