- Come along as we install the first septic system I have ever tried to do! As long as we keep the stink contained in the tank I think it will be considered a victory…

Hahaha think "it makes sense if you don't think about it" is my life motto!!!! Good times Sam and crew!!!
Yup, I like that motto too! Life goes easier with that kind of thinking…🤣🤪😀
Haha 😆 that video was a lot of fun to watch and be apart of! Thanks again Sam! Solid message at the end 👍🏼
Thanks Ross and certainly appreciate the help! Glad you enjoyed the message too! 😀
Great video. Ya'll had a lot of fun on this one. Loved the message.
Thanks Brandon, we had a good time on this job…
God Bless
Thanks for the good message , everyone needs to study daily to make it in this world, good video fun and educational , thanks again for your time!
Thanks Brian, I appreciate that…
I think that is the main problem with kids today no discipline I had a many a day getting the switch off the tree but I’m glad my parents done that it made me a better person. God bless
I’m with you on that!
Diesel didn't like someone else operating his machine 😂😂
He sure didn’t but still was wanting to get in and ride! 🤣
What a beautiful jobsight. Nothing but good guys and good attitudes ❤.
Thanks Colton we had a good time and got a lot done in a day.
Sam
When I did the tank holes, I just dig me a ramp to walk in. I don’t have the tremble earthworks, and then I don’t have to climb in and out on the ladder by myself, but just make a ramp to walk down . Enjoyed the video as always.
Thanks Raymond and the ramp is a great idea…😀
Thanks Sammy Y'ALL 😂 THANKS FOR SHARING. Have a BLESSED Day
Thank you Jon! 😀
Great video. Thanks for the scripture I'm not a churchy person and don't really know what the Bible says but I do believe in God. Thank you
Thanks Chris, I appreciate that! Hey I’m glad you are watching the message in the videos. That’s how a relationship with the Lord starts out, listening and learning what the Bible says.
God Bless and hope y’all have a great Easter weekend…
Nice job Sam!
Thanks Larry! 😀
@@tristardiggin You're welcome!
Hi Sam looks like diesel is in the middle of everything, good supervision skills.
Yes, he definitely stays in the middle of everything…🤣
Excellent video and even better message thx Sam
Thanks Scott! 😀
Good job Aman
Thanks Anthony! 😀
🔥🔥🔥 is this where the party’s at?!!!
Yeah buddy! Come right on in! 😀
Looks like a fun job Sam , hope to get into some septic install this year as well. Thanks for the message.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Definitely enjoyed learning something new. Hope you get to do a few of them this year…
He’s right. When putting in septics that the engineers design” it makes sense if you don’t think about it.” Especially in my area. We have grown water problems so all the septics are switching over to IA systems and you gotta be a scientist to understand them 🤦♂️. Great video Sam !
Thanks Steve! Yup things can sure be over complicated for sure…🤪
I appreciate you watching and commenting in the live stream…
@@tristardiggin anytime buddy. I try not to miss a good time 😂
@@DirtBrute 🤪🤣
Nice work! Great message
Thanks Justus…
Great video and amen 🙏🏻
Thank you Wayne!
God Bless
Another awesome message and video. But we need two videos per week. Awesome job Sam
Hey Kevin, I appreciate that! Sure would like to do 2 per week, maybe I can throw a mid week video in from time to time…
God Bless
Sam just joshing you about the two videos but I sure do look forward to your videos each and every day or week I mean thanks you are a blessing
Ok, you should know everything there is to know about septic systems. I might be calling you soon 😂
Oh Yeah, I’m a certified expert! Expert in watching someone who knows what they are doing! 🤣
Loved that message. Breaks my heart also.
Thanks Roxy! 😀
Looks like you had a lot of fun putting that septic system in with Mike and Ross... it sure makes the day go faster... I really liked Mike's Ford service truck💪... Thanks for the message I will keep it mind when i end up getting a wife (im 17😂)
Yup, we had a lot of fun that day! Hold onto that advice, will come in handy when you get married…🤣🤪
@@tristardiggin 👍
We had a lot of fun that day. My Ford truck is a good old truck I bought from the guy that had put every mile it had been driven. It's been a good one. I would like to go bigger at some point with a dual wheel. I've run out of room in this one.
@@MMESITEPREP What engine does it have?
Sorry. I didn't realize you had asked. The old 5.4 triton.
Amen Sam
Thanks Jason! 😀
A fun video - I was worried about Diesel getting hurt by the equipment and guess who steps on his paw - LOL. Our pastor just gave that bible passage the other Sunday.
Thanks Allan! Guess you are right, I did step in the little fellers foot. Sounds like you got a double dose of that message…
Man, that was some beautiful red dirt. If that doesn't perk right, ain't nothing gonna perk right. Nice message too. Stay safe brother.
Thanks, we definitely have some nice dirt on this property…
To keep the tank from floating here in Pa we put straps across the tank and connect them to concrete bumper blocks before we backfill
That is a good way to do that! We do that on buried storm shelters…
Thanks,
Sam
Hi Sam, thanks for this video.
Some details are the same as in France for this work.
I have an idea, but I don’t know if it will be possible in the future....
- If you get a demolition job, that would be really cool on video ! 😎
- Also, cleaning a river or a pond would be really good on video ! 🤗
Thanks Nicolas! 😀 I enjoy the demolition jobs too. Maybe I will get a call for some this year. I also like pond renovations too. Hope to get some of those too…
@@tristardiggin Cool, we’ll have to watch it on video, Sam !
Straight up preachin the word! Great video and a fantastic message!
Thanks, I appreciate that! 😀
Just got my installer license here in NC. Starting my own business soon pray for me haha!
That is great and I hope you get a bunch of them to do!
God Bless
Great message!
Thanks Jon! 😀
God Bless
Hey Sam how’s it going, looks like you got some mighty fine help for this project.
You did a excellent job presenting the message, thanks a lot Sam and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks Tom! Mike and Ross was a lot of help. Well actually they did most of it. I just kinda walked around! 🤪🤣
Glad you enjoyed the message…
God Bless
A friend of mine put in the same system and he didn’t put water in it and it did float out. Great video!
Jay that would be a big ole mess for sure…🤪😳
Thanks,
Sam
Great job and video Sam. We just installed our first one a few weeks ago. We went with the concrete tank and the easy flow system. I agree with you it's gonna take 2 or 3 installs to get comfortable with it. Great message also. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ron! Yup it sounds like y’all are learning something new as well. Definitely going to need more practice to figure it out…
Enjoyed the video as usual! Love the message. We do the crossover (29:00) a little different here. Not sure I understand they way y'all do it. We distribute the waste between each line from the uphill (entrance side) of the arc. Most people here are going back to field lines.
Thanks, it’s definitely interesting how much difference there is installing them. Curious to learn the different ways…
Glad you enjoyed the message!
God Bless
I am still "diggin" you videos! LOVE ya!
Thanks I appreciate that! 😀
Had a 58 hour work week that ended with throwing a track of the mini ex on a mountain side right at dark in the absolute mottle of nowhere. Just got home and settling in for some tristar diggin!! Whooo!!!
Sounds like a rough week. 🥵
@@tristardiggin it’s been a wild one but I’m alive and ready for the next one! Seems like the world threw everything it could at us and we prevailed. Can’t let it get a fella down. Just keep moving forward.
It's a challenge digging fairly deep from late fall to early spring. The shadows that's cast from the low sun make it really hard to see what your digging, especially as my eyes get older and older, lol
Randy that is exactly right, tough digging this time of year for sure. Good weather on the way though…
Great video Sam. I been pondering on getting my license here in NC and adding it to the list of options in my excavation business. I need to go ahead and dive in I guess. Appreciate the message at the end of the video.
Hey Brian, I’m with you on that! Mike is willing to help me get started and eventually I will get my license as well…
I don’t mean this in a bad way but, for me, I have found it hard to find someone willing to help me like that. A lot of em I know are busy. I got a couple good friends that do different dirt work and they have stayed slammed and thank the Lord for that and for them and their families. I’ve volunteered you know to work for em for free for the help and experience but it’s just tough. And I get it. But I keep looking around, asking and praying. 😅
@@tristardiggin Todd has been a big help to me the couple times I’ve talked with him I will say.
@@briangammons8242 I definitely understand the busy part for sure. Thanks,
Sam
Video was great after it gets inspected go get you some roadkill throw in it start the enzyme off have done it hundreds of times and had health department Tell me off record it works good for the system great message by the way SAM
Thanks Brian! Didn’t know that about the road kill, interesting. Glad you enjoyed the message too.
God Bless…

Better keep an eye out for this little fella. I have a feeling he might come back to find ways to “stink” up your day.🤣
Great video and thank you for the message!!!😊
Right, that sucker is going to get me good one day! 😀 Glad you enjoyed the message…
God Bless
Sam there was a lot of hot air down there
No doubt! 🤪
I learned a lot of new things about drain Feild line good video Gods word is good I ask God to help me love my wife the wife the way I need to I’ve learned when I try to do things my way what ever it is I’m wrong my young life I thought I controlled my life when all a long God is in control God let me see it I’m stubborn he molds me every day God bless brother
Hey Todd, I’ve learned a few things the hard way as well!
Thanks and God Bless
Enjoyed the message Sam! How did it feel to just be the camera man? Having help is going to spoil you. Your going to be like SmithWorx having to get you a helper.😂 I can't believe we didn't get to see all of that falling down! Y'all got to have all the fun laughing at each other. I need a good laugh after this neck surgery. Oh maybe I don't because the Dr cut me from the middle of my neck down to between my shoulders blades. Got a bunch of staples. A 1 half hour surgery turned into 3 half hours. He said it's going to be 2 months of recovery and 8 months to a year before the bones completely heal. This is the most painful surgery I've had and I've had 12 or 13. This was my 3rd neck surgery and I've had rods and screws put in my lower back. Getting Old Ain't For Sissies!! 🤣🤣 Be Safe Out There and GOD BLESS!!
Hey Jim, glad you enjoyed the message! It was great running the camera and watching the work get done. 😀 Ole SmithWorx has him a good helper in Jimmy for sure. Wow, I did pile it up several times that day and no camera was on. Right, laughing may not be good for that neck surgery.😳 I sure hope and pray you heal up quickly and the pain is minimal. Sounds like you need more SmithWorx and Tristar Diggin to watch over the next few months…🤪
God Bless
@@tristardiggin thanks Sam. When I'm not sleeping I'm checking out CZcams so post some more videos lol I was sleeping when you were live yesterday so I missed it. But I hadn't slept in about 30 hours because of the pain. But I'm in good hands with the Lord!
@@jimmytew9468 yes, you certainly are in good hands!
God Bless
Interesting never seen lattueall lines like that look good tho
I like them! They were really easy to install for sure…
👍🏻
Thanks Steve! 😀
I just installed this system into my mother n laws yard here in Oklahoma. Her lateral lines had collapsed
Also love your time last music
Hey Mark, I appreciate that!
I definitely like this system, easy to install for sure…
Thanks,
Sam
You ain't a kidding. Lots more easier than the old lateral lines with rock n pipes. We installed 220' in no time and the cost to install is way cheaper
Well your message step on my toes. I have wondered and my wife stepped up. I am in the process of putting Christ 1st back into our lives. We've been blessed and I'm not taking it for granted anymore
@@markwayland7354 Hey Mark, that is awesome to hear and glad the message was a blessing. I need my toes stepped on as well…
God Bless
Howdy Sam
👍
I stopped using the Arc chambers. Last bed I put in with them they seemed like they were made very cheap and seemed to really deflect in shape. I’m back to using pipe and stone if the soil permits a conventional system.
It’s definitely good to have choices on what to install…
Thanks
State of tennessee changed it so you can put lines in longer than 100. I have put in 200 plus in one line here in middle tn
Thanks Douglas that is good info to know…
@@tristardiggin make sure with your inspector
Another great video! Can I ask what that Trimble Earthworks system (just like yours) runs? I would love to add that to my Yanmar VIO50.
Hey Thanks, I appreciate that! I paid a little over 20k for it a few years ago . I’m sure it’s probably went up some since then. It’s a bit pricey but worth it to me, considering I work by myself most of the time…
Sam
@@tristardiggin thanks Sam! I bought it at auction and yes, paid a good deal more than that, $30k. A dealer that was there said if I throw a thumb on it it's worth every bit of $39k around here.
😎
Thanks Gregory! 🤪
Did they have yall to put gravel on eight side of your Chambers they usually do us here in West Virginia if it's clay dirt
No rock at all in this system. Really easy to install…
Thanks,
Sam
I used to install those septic
Hey Jim, you might get a good laugh or two out of this one then!
😀
@tristardiggin I won't laugh at all I'd jump in and help
Many hands make light work...We just had a Bible lesson on Ephesians 5:22-23. In voluntary submission, the wife can serve her husband, just as the church serves Christ, with freedom and dignity. Paul, in no way, is suggesting that wives are inferior to their husbands; the submission is voluntary, not forced. As always, we appreciate the content of your video; congratulations on the installation of your first septic system with a little help from your friends. It went well...Best regards Mike&Pat
Thanks Mike&Pat! Sounds like you got a double dose of that message! 😀
What you said is exactly right!
God Bless
Hey Sam just wanted to hear your thoughts on this: what do you do when digging a deep trench and the bucket keeps getting stuck on the sides and doesnt want to dig lower? only way i can dig lower is if i widen the trench... uaually happens on 4-5+ foot deep straight line trenches
Yeah, that is about all you can do is make it a little wider. Side cutters on the bucket should help with that a lot though.
Nice job! What size digging bucket is that and how well does that 304 handle it?
Thanks Dillon! It is a 36” bucket and it does a great job.
Sam
I was told by a manufacturer of septic tanks (concrete) that in the State of Georgia only a licensed contractor can install a septic tank and system. I realize you are not in Georgia but do you know if I can at least dig my own tank hole and leach field?
In TN a land owner can install their own system. Best way to find out about GA is call the state inspector on the permit and ask them if it is permissible in GA.
First time I’ve seen a guy dig over the side of a machine all the time like that.
Yup, some good digging…
How long has that Arc Chamber been around? I remember my father had to rebuild a leach field at the house I grew up in. If I remember right they used 4" perforated pipe in gravel for the leach field.
Good question! I’m not sure how long those have been around. But the 4” pipe and gravel have definitely been around a long time…
Hi buddy
Hello Niklas
Do u come to ga any because I'm close to some areas you have worked just wondering
I did a job in Ringgold for a church as a favor to them but I actually don’t have insurance and DOT authority on trucks to come into GA. Where are you located?
chickamauga and yea ringgold not to far from me so most your work is in tn
@@tristardiggin
Sam. Do you do work over in Tellico Plains? I have a new neighbor that might require some excavating.
Hey Tim, I appreciate you checking with me. I do work in the Tellico are and would be glad to check out the work…
Thanks
I've always been told of the dangers of a man in an unsupported hole that deep.
Yes it can be dangerous for sure in unstable soils…
@tristardiggin thanks for the video. I always learn alot from you in your content. GOD bless you.
@@Mr.frag-out Thanks and God Bless
This was filmed on my birthday on the 12th👍🏻
Happy Birthday! 🎂🎁🎈
@@tristardiggin Thank you Sam! Keep up the good work buddy
Do you still have the 308?
No I sold it and the Prinoth mulcher a while back…
As lost as a what Easter egg?
Lost as a 3 year old Easter 🐣 egg…
@@tristardiggin that’s what I thought you said
So who has the Septic License?
Mike
I don’t know who amongst you is the windest
I think it must be Mike! 🤣
Show him coming off that trench!!
We didn’t spin off of it. Waited until we got the pipe in and backfilled it first.
Great fellowship brother yes Christ died for the sins of the whole world and we need to die daily for Christ to be a true follower as stated in God's holy word.
Thanks Brian and well said!
God Bless
what a hack job, you know better than this
How is it a hack job?
