Site work is the most unpredictable part of a construction project. the homeowner is lucky to have Andrew on this project solving the problems and not making the problems into big contentious issues. Rather he solves them and moves on. great job!

There's so much water in that soil that the water passes through it as if it's not even there. That's called a swamp. We don't build on swamps for a reason. I wish the owner of that land the best of luck.

Never dealt with propane tanks however as an owner of a home building company and demo and excavation company we dig out for natural gas lines to the house and accessorie buildings. Tip: 1. Always pressurize the lines for any leaks before back filling. 2. Use 2 layers of caution tape for your lines and add fine sand. Any sharp rocks or stone can eventually puncture the lines with weight

Good job on the narration of the job site history. Bonus footage on the show’s wrap-up, nice.

I'm one of the thousands addicted to your excellent videos. Your skill both at editing and drone footage is simply outstanding. You have a real feel for good videography as well as taking the time and effort to explain things in an easy to understand and relate to manner. That said, I finally saw you do something that even myself wouldn't do. And I don't know squat about excavation. ha. About 100,000 tasks I've seen you do and it always worked... unconventional sometimes, but.... it worked and no one got killed. And your work seems to hold up over time. But when you backfilled the trench leading away from the foundation with the pvc pipe in it, I had to cringe. First of all, you filled in the middle section first, which I'm sure is standard practice in dry conditions. But not only did this push the pipe way over to one side of the already enlarged trench (after getting stuck and unstuck) at a pretty severe bow, but by filling in the middle, you guaranteed that the water above it would be trapped and when filled, would create instant quicksand. This was clear the rest of the video where the Bobcat sunk into it and even yourself started to get sucked into it. I don't' think you can fill a water filled trench and expect it to somehow just dry out, especially if you've dammed the water first. It created a deep, soggy slurry of fine dirt suspended in water... in other words, quicksand, all along the trench.

You are a hard working man

The purpose for the cathodic protection is to provide a higher level of safety. UG propane tanks can be subject to severe corrosion conditions and can degrade and start leaking over time with no visible signs. Leaks from UG tanks have resulted in injuries and severe property damage. The type of cathodic protection usually provided is an anode bag, which is a magnesium or zinc rod enclosed in a cloth bag with a moistening agent and electrically connected to the tank

Makes me cringe. It's a soft a...... an ode. Have no idea why people think it's AY node. Works just like the anode rods in hot water heaters. Sacrificial metal that corrodes easier than the steel tank, so rather than attack the tank, the corrosives attack the magnesium or zinc. Often used on large ships as well.

@3069mark

Yep. Anodes prevent a thing called "electrolysis" from occurring and corroding the tank. They draw the electrical current from the tank to the magnesium rod inside the anode. If you took apart an anode that had been in place for some time you would find that the magnesium rod is deteriorated from the electrical charge. Thus, anodes have to be replaced periodically in order for them to continue providing protection for the tank. Anodes are also installed inside of tank-type water heaters. When I worked for a public utility company we installed anodes on our underground steel gas mains.

Andrew, you definitely have the fine touch. That was masterful how you were able to get that machine out of that trench.

Nice job done, thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family

Muddy man help I am sinking lol 😁 all the best from the UK 🇬🇧

Well, i'm not familiar with the building codes of this location. But everything I see built in this video series and other alike on youtube you just bury everything in soil/mud (in the US). Concrete footing directly on the soil and no insulation, backfill against basement walls only soil, the propane tank, only soil. And that piece of land seems to have water running down to it since it is on a slope. The slab poured inside was directly on gravel, why not insulate it, and the walls, makes it more energy efficient and easier to heat the basement during winter. The basement walls has a painted membrane on the outside, kind of obsolete. I'ts like looking at a construction site 30-40 years ago. Besides that, great work morale/ethics of Camarata. Getting it done. And I do understand that theese construction methods/choices are probably not Camarata's choices, he is just doing what the customer ordered.

@phredocassera2939

4 жыл бұрын

Hello Oskar, in the US many of the building codes are different from county to county.. Sometimes using better methods( like you suggested) is not easy to get approved by home builders because of cost of materials and qualified people to do the work are 25-50% more expensive.. So it takes a long time to amortize the expense of doing it in a house that might not justify it. I live in a wealthy area not far from where Andrew works and even the 2-5M dollar new construction is done this way... rare to see even insulated forms or spray foam on many of these projects.. and I have been doing construction inspection for a while...

I love it when I get to watch videos of these machines getting un-stuck! Very kewl to see some really ingenious ways to get them out :)

Mad skills and great cinematography.

I love how you collect all the clips from different days, even weeks apart and put it into one video instead of doing what everyone else does and uploading every time they do one thing, often leaving out the conclusion making it highly frustrating to watch. Your videos are complete.

Underground water needed dealing with at the beginning on that site. Not too late though for the owner to request a water interceptor be constructed across the top of the slope to catch the downhill flow and divert some of it off to each of the site's sides. Then install land drainage lower down, all taking water to a balancing pond arrangement at the bottom.

NEVER trust the volume line on a fuel can. I have spoken with the WEIGHS and MEASURES people who test gas station pumps and they have a measured container they use. I happened to be filling a 5 gallon can while one was testing and I talked him into testing mine. My 5 gallon mark was closer to 5.5 gallons. So two proper ways to find out without any doubt. 1) use a container that is calibrated for X= volume. 2) weigh the volume. So why is that property so damn wet? I know it snowed there lately, but that is a lot of water flowing in your canal!! Years ago a buddy bought 9 acres really cheap because the property would not perk. After seeing the property I could see why. It had sooooo many trees on it that even with the driving snow, there was very little snow between them. That told me someone planted all the trees trying to suck up the water, but really what had happened was it was getting no sunlight or wind/air in the middle of the acreage.. We spoke with a guy from a town on the other side of the city and he agreed. My buddy bought it cheap and that fall we started clearing. In August before we started it would not perk. By April the next spring we had cleared about 3 acres in the center and thinned out the trees by about 8 to 1. In April the same guy from the county came and made a bet with me that it still would not perk. It not only perked the 5 gallons minimum. It perked nearly double the 5 gallon minimum!! We had also had a pretty nasty winter that year as we commonly do up in Rochester, only a few miles off Lake Ontario.

Hey Andrew. I just finished watching this video. I've watched all of them on this playlist so far. The job is coming along very nicely. I used to work construction back in the late 70's & early 80's, and so these (and all your) videos take me back in time. I was getting worried though about that building site being too wet to build on. I don't know if it's like that year around or not, but since it's at the bottom of the hill and flat from then on I suspect it is, and so I am glad to see that you dug the drainage ditch around the perimeter of the property, and I hope that works to keep the ground inside the perimeter nice and dry year around. Before I saw that you dug that ditch, I was wondering if maybe a complete underground drainage tile system, like farmers use in their crop fields, might have been the solution. But it would have been more costly, and if your drainage ditch solves the problem for cheap then it is the better option. Anyway, I am really enjoying your channel. I watch several of your videos every day. Eventually I will have them all watched and then will have to wait til you upload new ones though. I want to thank you for sharing your amazing experiences with us though. Take care!

17:24 'anode bag' like the sacrificial anodes on a boat engine. I still learn something new every day! A bag of magnesium tied to the tank with a copper wire. They actually work too if you've ever seen an old underground tank that didn't have proper electrolysis protection. Anything metal that deals with water its whole life is vulnerable. We used to use 60-80 gallon aluminum tanks at our business and the electrolysis chewed through new ones in about 7 years - and those weren't even buried. Gold, silver, titanium and stainless steel are the most resistant, but never 100%.

Lmao... you got lots of "practice" getting out of sticky situations on this one, plus almost lost your boots on one of them... nice saves. As for that fuel gun/nozzle, I installed one that looked like that on a bulk DEF dispenser a few years back and it auto-stopped. Look at the underside of the tip of the nozzle, there should be a small hole on the bottom of the nozzle where it sucks air until the level rises up and then it would suck liquid and kick the flow off. If that small hole is not present on the bottom side of the nozzle, it never was intended as an auto-stop-capable filler. Good news on the partial refund on it. I was suspect of the accuracy of the flow meter (on ours), but using it for DEF in a non-retail situation, it wasn't that critical anyways. Also, for buried propane tanks, we can't do that up in Canada, or at least nobody does it. If we did bury tanks, I'm sure there'd be a law that would state it has to be dug up and replaced every 10 years, because that's the way we seem to do stuff like that. I know when I was younger in the retail gasoline biz, it was starting to get beyond stupid with all the rulez and regz surrounding in-ground tanks, pumps, anodes and anode systems. Volume/capacity measuring and monitoring systems took a serious jump in complexity in the late 80`s after a series of high-profile stories about cases of serious gasoline tank leaks in retail situations where the owner knew damn well about it, but chose to cover it up, leading to some serious health problems, and a few cases where brand-newly-built homes in close proximity to the leaking gas stations became condemned to destruction after the owners/residents were poisoned by fumes from escaped gasoline leaching around underground.

I like the autonomous recovery vehicle.

Good save!

I wonder if you can use parts from the OPW nozzle to make the other nozzle auto-stop?

for those curious about the anode bag: In short, the sacrificial anode bag acts as a "decoy" for the damaging currents that can harm a tank in an underground environment. Tank Coating and Backfill - The outer surface of an underground propane tank is in constant contact with an environment that can be extremely damaging.

I love to see all your videos

Wow AC I can't believe the mucky soil on this property, you think their was a water spring on the property! Great video as always!!!

When I saw you dig the trench up under the excavator I knew that would not end well ;)

agree, rookie mistake. Could have dug the last bit @ 90 degrees

I thought you wanted to bury a tank not a Yanmar ! LOL

holy shit the guy delivering the tank is dangerous!

Nice save on the bobcat AC!😥 Cowboy style👏

Digging by the house it looked good but what a swamp father out. What's the water table there?

Can't believe you drove into your own ditch more than once!!!

As always andrew your the man, and you cant get a backhoe or trackhoe stuck. 8/13/20

All of your drainage ditching sure helped a lot. The site was a lot drier when you dig the hole for the propane tank compared to trenching the waterline. The propane guys backed over the trench with no issues.

m9 ovich You can see the well head beyond the truck. He certainly did back over the trench.
