Glad to see Davin coming to see you. Idigit4 was one of the first channels I started watching when I started with youtube watching. From there he sent me to Letsdig18, Upstate brush, Dirt Perfect, and Tri Star Diggin. When these influencers collaborate it just gives credibility to the channel and is greatly needed to boost the subs and views. He's a good dude and proud he's there to help. Plus he gets to use Earthworks and see it in operation. Great Message as well. Thanks Sam for posting as always.

Hey Sam, a few things I’ve picked up over the years doing septics. The hole saw is worth the money when using the Infiltrator tanks, lol. As far as fall for your outlet pipe to drain field, we ( I know everybody has different requirements to meet ) just need the height of the pipe difference. 3”pipe =3 1/2” fall, 4”= 4 1/2” fall to end cap. When digging long ditches on a slope, once you started just throw some dirt under the low side track to keep your machine level. I’ve put in 1000’s of feet of those chambers. They work wonderful in the right type soils. Not so good in others. I personally never liked plumbing through the end caps. Prefer building a header or manifold to supply each line for a more even distribution of the effluent coming from the tank. Just the way I was taught 🤷‍♂️. Also our ditches have to be a minimum of 7’ in between or 10’ on center. Like I say, I know everywhere is different. Those gaskets can be a booger when working by yourself. I know you haven’t done but a couple of these but maybe some helpful tips if you do anymore 👍🏻. As always, appreciate the Word and continue to share the Truth.

@tristardiggin

Ай бұрын

Yup, it’s interesting how the states require different things. D boxes aren’t allowed here at all. They will fail a system if you put one in. Our minimum fall requirement from the tank is 4”. It’s interesting that the pipe from the house isn’t even required for inspection, but I’m not fussing about that though. One less thing to deal with. Putting dirt on the path of the low side track definitely works. I do that in some applications and like the way it works. I’m hoping to get a tilt coupler to dig in grade with but have to figure out how it will work with the grade control system. Thanks for the info…

Hey Sam. Hope you and your family are doing well. Great message as always. How right you are about the challenges we face daily. Mine is the harder I work. The more challenges I face from the people I work with. They talk and spread lies to try to make my hard work look wrong. I only get through it by having faith in our God. I talked to my pastor about it the other day. He said Sation has your picture on the blackboard in hell. My first thought was, "Oh crap the pastor is saying going to hell. What am I doing wrong? I'm serving the Lord by working hard and serving others. He saw look on my face and said no what meant is he has your picture is on the blackboard" because he wants to break your faith with all the challenges . But He is saying how can we get this guy because it is not working. He still keeps his faith and still serves the lord and others. Even with all the challenges we throw at him. I was like, thank God you cleared that up for me. Because I was thinking what . Then we laughed together and said a prayer. But any way. You keep doing what you are doing, brother, and I will, too.
