Nice drone shots while you were flattening that field. Another great vid. Can't wait to see it finished. Stay safe!
Thanks buddy
Dirt boss, dirt boss he’s our man. If he can’t do it no one can.🤠
😂😂😂💯
I know somebody that has their bathroom back in service. Looks nice and it went well for you. Your quick and efficient.
Yes he does Thank you
That looks pretty darn good brother, you are a master on that skid steer 😎
Thank you bud I appreciate it
That was pretty sweet watching you whip that into shape. I gotta be honest......I was thinking that it wasn't happening...then BAM......NICEY NICE.
Thanks For Your Effort On The video.
Marky Mark come on you had faith the whole time !!! 😎
@@DIRT-BOSS There are times in life where our faith wavers. Sadly I had a moment. BUT.....I'm feeling MUCH better now🦾
@@markg.2501 😂💯
Looks real good. Take care and have a blessed weekend and see you on your next video
Thanks Bill
You are best on you tube, not once have I ever heard you tell everyone how great you are like let’s dig or dirt PERFECT 👌
Thanks Man !
This is very interesting. Like a combination between a leech field and a sand mound. I installed our sand mound, and one for our neighbor. 20 years later mine is failing due to bio mass or something to that effect not allowing the water to drain down through the bottom. I'm considering just adding on a section of this stuff to it. Or replacing it to original spec and diverting the kitchen sink and laundry.
🔥🔥🔥 DIRT BOSS!!!! Gettin’ work done💪💪💪
Yeah buddy
Thanks for explaining the septic system. Good job.
Thank you
It's the DIRTBOSS 😎 yeah buddy BACK on site backfilling done it's time to make it pretty and that U did DIRTBOSS 😎 YEAH it looks Real Nice and pretty Great job DIRTBOSS 😎 and Thank U for the great video 👍 YEAH 💪😎👍
Yeah junia thanks for watching my buddy! 💪🏼
I like how you explain what youre doing almost like teaching. Im just getting into excavating and i learn alot from watching you work
Thanks man appreciate it
Nice job bud
Lots of details I’m sure a lot of people can appreciate
I hope so thanks
You definitely put a lot of love into your work! Almost like the septic isn't there. Raining again here on the east coast of course!
Thanks man
Another one done makin it look easy as always. Glad I can learn something new in every video
Thanks Danny I appreciate that
You want something done with perfection you hire the Boss!
Heck yeah I appreciate it
Good job looks fantastic you can’t beat a true professional.👍👍👍
Thanks Rich
4mins 5secs you saw the infiltrator move slightly, good catch. most would have just kept backfilling, shows you care about your work
Yes sir had to double check it!
U do very good job ,nice
Another beautiful job Mike. Have a great day.
Thanks buddy
Man, I need a tracked machine! Thank you for the content, Mike.
Yes if you're going to do this type of work track machines where it's at no spinning
Nice job Boss man! First time I've seen that system, I've done the sand mound type but never used the infiltrator tubes like them. I'm kinda old school and prefer the perforated pipe and gravel filled ditches. Not a fan of the gravel less system with the perforated pipe W/ a sock either, I've seen them fail over time or extreme use.
I agree I like the stone and pipe also
Nice job. Good video.
Thanks Mike
Thank u so much. I needed this video. I feel so much better about my group project!!
Yes if you go in the playlist there's other septic videos with more detail also
Looks awesome
Thanks
Nice job Mike....btw My tb260's 1sts job was yanking 4 fallen oak trees out of a lake. haha it was really fun. What a beast....
Awesome
Great job.I have never seen one installed like that.
Yeah there's different ones all around these parts
Very interesting video, enjoy watching different systems. Our leech bed was condemned by health department, had to put in system that passes through ultraviolet light and drain to ditch at road. $12,000.00(Ohio) Love watching your videos.
Hey Sandy yeah it's crazy how systems are different not only state to state but county to county
Very nice job, love the drone shots.
Thank you
Absolutely awesome job well done Mike
Thanks Don
Thank you for another. This is the first time I've seen a system like this monstrosity and that's a lot of work getting that thing in. Was this system by choice of the HO? I don't care what you take us along on as we've seen you do it all. Foundations, footings, concrete floor (in winter storms no less), clearing fields of trees and stumps that COLUMBUS put in so whatever you care to share, we say THANKS! Sonny
No this design was from an engineer they come out and dig test pits then come up with an elevation plan
That was a great install.
Thank you
Would be kinda cool to cover that whole thing with wildflowers.
Yes it would
Great job 👍🏻
Looks nice good job 👍
Thanks
Excellent Work Dirt Boss! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🍺🔥🔥🔥
Thanks buddy
Really nice job
Thanks
I’d rather have that mound than the Presby system Vermont requires. For a 3 bedroom house we have a 4 ft high and 48 ft long mound. And, of course, there are two thousand gallon tanks; the second of which is the gray water pump station since the mound is “uphill”. Easy to spend $25K or more. Nice job on the grading Mike. One heckuva blend job.
Wow crazy how things change just over state lines thanks man
There crazy down our way. Denite system into sand filter or geomat. 28/32 grand just the install plus drawing. Were running a 100 grand cut &, chip ,excavation, septic ,well line , utility trench , gravel driveway , concrete work for. Foundation and floors. Then loam seed
excellent job
Thanks
Nice job Boss 👍🇺🇸
Thanks
Bossin that sand around is fun... you feel like you are Michaelangelo sculpting with a skid steer!
You did a rather nice job blending that ugly baby bump into a newborn lawn!
PS... great dronage work on this one.
Thanks SV the Kubota does the work I'm just a passenger!
Job well done boss 👊
Thanks buddy
Back on site !
Yes sir
Nice job!!👍👍
Thanks bud
Real nice job BOSS too bad the homeowner did not give you extra bucks for the rake but awesome job
I hear you everybody has budget though
@Zero Bubble I hear what you're saying but if you've seen how it comes out, the home owner would need only to seed. Now, he needs more topsoil and has a lot of manual raking and will it come out perfectly even? Now the HO does have a tractor so that is what he'll most likely use. None the less, I still enjoy watching DIRT BOSS do his thing and first time I've seen a system like this one. Take care!
Nice job.good video👍
Thanks
Looks Great If I were the Homeowner I would have had you order another truck or two of topsoil and finish the area that he said he would take care of. If he gets a Truck stuck how will he help them with that small tractor.
💯
sharp job , the home owner should have sprung for extra soil and paid for you to finish covering the extra sand with the same finesse as the system
Yes sir
Dang it someone beat me on the first thumbs down 😁🤣 nice work brother very clean 👍🏻
😂😂 That thumbs down gets hit within 30 seconds so funny !!
@@DIRT-BOSS 🤣 that’s how you know you’ve made it! Love the haters
great grading job. Always amazed that the government forces people to spend $10 to $20K on a system to take care of shit. Composting toilets are so much easier and cheaper.
Maybe so
I've heard of a specific pump system costing 50k
The ground surface below and between should be scarified (remove top 4 to 6") of organize material (grass, vegetation) this provides a better infiltrative surface. National trade orgs recommend tis and some jurisdictions require it. Additionally, the distribution box should be 5 or more feet away to prevent destabilization from saturated soil. The entry point chambers are the first points to saturate and this will cause unequal distribution, not the intention.
Geez if I did that then it would fail.. if you know the amount of information you just gave me is true then you would also know that septic designs change drastically per soil conditions this design was designed for this lot
"Second the best"
Thanks
I'm in Georgia. Appalachian area. I rarely have to do a raised bed system here. If we need to move a system out of a wet area usually the HD just makes us find a zone uphill in dryer ground and use a pump system to infiltrators. But away from this area I've been involved in some of these systems. What would this system typically cost? Total? Or the contractor price charged to customer minus materials. How do you realize the time of rain, waiting to dry, waiting on inspector while your stuff just sits there? Some of that has to be considered? Also, what kind of psychology do you use on customer to understand the unknowns? Like for example, the unknown of how damaged the rest of the yard will be from trucks backing in and tearing it up or whatever? Competition will leave out variables to look cheaper and then lay it on someone at the end. I have a hard time because I explain the unknowns too much and it worries them and someone else sells them a better story. I want to tell them possibilities up front so they don't get caught off guard but it can backfire. Make sense? Thanks
Thanks for this very detailed and professional video. How do you determine the cubic yards of sand and dirt on a project like this, is it mentioned on the
engineering drawings or do you calculate? Thank You.
I calculated
Are you concerned about the weight of your equipment? We are considering a mini to spread the top soil over ezflow. I've heard tracks are a must but wasn't sure about the weight. Looks like a good project. Keep up the good work 👍
No concerns make sure you have good coverage and you go across the laterals not alongside them until it's a completely covered then you could go all directions
That's pretty country up there, but hella taxes in NY.
💯
👍
Thanks
I need to come hang with you I can learn a lot from you
Lol yup
💪💪💪💪💪
💪🏼😎💪🏼😎💪🏼
Where's the Dirt Boss been??? No videos in 3 days! Hope all is well.
All good All good running around like a madman getting nothing done !
@@DIRT-BOSS Ha ha like a cat chasing its tail!
Out of curiosity, where in the US was this done, and what was the approximate cost? Great work BTW.
Upstate NY
Another great video Dirt Boss! How many hours are on the sk160 and skid steer?
Kubota 1100 Kobelco just over 6
Looks good on paper but doesn't look good in the field. So. True.👍🤣
💯
You make it look easy. How much is a system like this? I know it can vary around the country.
You know homeowner bought the materials Not sure what they were
@@DIRT-BOSS I’m sorry, what was you’re price? I’m in the process of getting my septic certification in my state. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks!
👍👍
💪🏼👍🏼
What type of soil is the native soil?
Why is there no sand fill under the infiltrators?
I'm planing on doing mine soon new build
Each system is different this was designed by an engineer this is how they wanted it done due to the perk tests of the soil.. in my opinion the soil wasn't that bad
@@DIRT-BOSS ok thanks .
Was it clay?
Are all the septic systems in your area built like that or are there any conventional type systems?
No most of them are conventional that I do but there's a lot of these too I have a bunch of videos on conventional
Hey Mike, do you ever get to installing any pressurized septic systems? Or any Alternative treatment systems?
I actually have not
Omg
Yeah buddy
at what point are the people allowed to use their plumbing ?
USA
👍🏻
👍🏼
So you want to be a home owner Dirt Boss just asking what is a ballpark figure for a system like that? Not everyone has municipal sewer and water or a bank account for an emergency Not asking how much you charge or how much the home owner paid Just ballpark Great job and thanks for sharing 👍
Obviously all very but this one was around the 10-15k mark
That's not worth all that money! Because the home owner will be paying on that for life, he will never get paid off, the amount of electricity will skyrocket, and then all of those pumps, and maintenance the home owner can't do because of the home ownes association, or other legalities! And what a mass left in their yard for them to contened with, those lines are suppose to be straight in line! There should never be ,or take electric to operate the septic system! What a ripoff. It ain't worth 5,000 at most.
@@galeogle I wish I could follow what you're saying but I don't think you know what you're saying
@@galeogle take 2 You still don't know what you're talking about
@@galeogle watch the first two videos before this and then come back and give me take 3 there's nothing to do with electricity in this my buddy it's gravity-fed system
With a system like this how many days does it usually take start to finish?
2 days It took me by myself
You're making me want to become an installer. How difficult is it to certified?
No certification in New York
Will this work on clay soil?
You have to get an engineered but yes if it's a fill system
Your out of albany ny?? Im in Amsterdam.
Yes just across the river Rensselaer county.. 👍🏼
What does a system like this run in your area? $18-20k?
10-15
Is your truck automatic or stick?
Which truck the Ram is automatic the Kenworth is an 8ll stick
Why did the owner have to have a mound system? It destroys the look of the yard no matter what you do. Not your fault, just the nature oof the beast.
Absolutely I agree but that's what the engineer designed
This was very interesting.
So I gave a question.... My friends are prepingvto put a system of some sort onto a property. But he insists it's not a septic tank system... Saying there is no drain field. I'm not aware of any system where there is no drain field. Says it's a series of screens and a water discharge into the creek. You got any clue what he is talking abt??? Or is he just full of CRAP... No pun intended.
Sounds illegal and gross
GPS???
