    Outstanding! Excellent reasonable effective solution! I agree it should be deeper, but bedrock is bedrock. Another usually less effective option would be to use two smaller pipes side by side so the top of the pipes would be lower. Perfect slope on the pipe. No wasted motion with the excavator. Great job on delicately moving the tree limb twice, and great packing with the bucket. And you included your trademark stone wings and caps on the pipe ends. The land owner is penny smart and dollar foolish. What old pipe? It was long gone. It is always frustrating when the customer will not let you do what needs to be done for the best result. Some people refuse to understand that cheap work is not good and good work is not cheap. Going back the second time, your price should have been higher because she wasted your time the first time out. The limestone finished off the job beautifully! You made the most of that limestone. Nobody gets out of the truck and hand rakes limestone! The landowner should be delighted with the beautiful result. Your video production has become very polished and professional! Happy Thanksgiving!

    glad you mentioned it's not deep enough so people don't get confused. Also worth noting from an engineering perspective a pipe is treated like an arch. The backfill and compression of solid 3/4" or 1" stone around the pipe walls while putting it in is way way way more important than putting gravel on top. The load should get distributed around the sides if done correctly.

    lifeisgood070 actually COMPACTION of the best aggregate (being 304) not 3/4”-1”, entirely around the pipe, meaning over top of it also, is 100% just as important. The thicker the cover the better because it helps “bridge” the pipe. I can go to 3 locations right now and show you that not covering the pipes (steel, concrete and double wall plastic) is being damaged, deteriorating and crushed in but the bottom 3/4 is perfectly fine. You might want to check with an actual ENGINEER before assuming you know anything about an “engineering perspective”.

    Great video. I've been maintaining my 900ft gravel driveway through wetlands in New England for the last 18 years. The best thing for stubborn potholes is the scarifier teeth on a box blade. Set them deep. I found if you don't tear up at least a couple inches below the bottom of the pothole, it will consistently keep coming back. I picked up a cheap rosco 1-2 ton, split drum roller, between the box blade and the roller I can keep my gravel driveway like pavement pretty much all year long.

    Its so refreshing to see an excavator actually go back with hand tools to put the finishing touches on a job. I maintain 600 feet of complicated driveway with a few woods roads. I have installed perhaps 10 plastic culverts. One trick I learned if possible is to dig a silt hole on the uphill side of the culvert to catch solids before they enter the pipe. I also hand set the culvert with a level. I suppose its just inexperience with my back hoe. I can never get the ditch right with just the machine. I tend to over dig and then adjust the set of the pipe with what ever is laying around so its got a few degrees of tilt. This is by far my favorite channel. My grand son loves the machines almost as much as Micky Mouse.

    Where I am in Texas there isn't rock isn't as easy to come by. I can't be certain, but feel like the price of rock is likely a lot higher here. I have a half mile long dirt road that I had purchased a tractor to maintain. Wish I could get a lot of rock laid on it, but alas, half a mile of rock is expensive. Boxblade and grader worked great for what I was doing. Sadly had to sell the tractor. Next one I get will have a front loader on it. So many things I did with that 3pt that would have been tons easier with a front loader! Enjoy your video as usual. Great work.

    I have come back to this one several times. I like it when Andrew puts stacks of rocks at the ends of a culvert when he installs it. It reminds me of the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) back before WWII. They did work on what are still many of our national parks. They built cabins, hiking trails, bridges and other early infrastructure projects, before the war. Andrew is like a one-man CCC. --

    dyke the water off than dig the pipe to grade and actually check the grade so the pipe is not bowed. deeper would be good also but may not be possible to get drainage. 2 12 inch pipe would work better for getting more cover.

    I remember getting into this channel back in the early days when some videos only had a few thousand views. It was the shipping container building that drew me in and the other content was just a bonus. Now a lot of videos seem to be close to 1M views or in some cases well over, even simple culvert replacement videos. This channel is really taking off, and the likes to dislikes ratio is really good on most if not all of them as well. Congrats.

    Andrew you said "people would say it's not deep enough". Maybe so but who are we to question your work. You know what your doing. I'm sure some of us here don't even know how to work a hand shovel. I was a laborer years ago I did everything from laying pipe to building walls and laying asphalt. etc I've never seen one man do it all till I started watching your videos. I had an uncle with your skills. Unfortunately he never got his company off the ground.

    "Maybe so but who are we to question your work." Might blow your mind to know that a lot of people with decades of experience in this watch this channel. Very shocking. Andrew didn't appear from the gods. He learned from others as well as experience. Its wise to listen to others and test. So stop trying to stop that process if you dont know either way. having said that, the people that have not done this should pipe down, pardon the pun.

    I just found Andrew's channel a week ago and I am totally hooked as I go back to view some of his earlier videos. I really enjoyed this one. He isn't scared to try anything! I like that! You know, Andrew may do some things different than you would do them. And that is fine. Why do some people always have to critique everything? Why can't they just sit back and enjoy the videos? If they don't like what they see...then move on! Why publicly criticize anyone? I don't understand what 'throwing darts' on YT at other people accomplishes except make someone who is weak feel strong? If you can't find anything nice to say...don't say anything at all. Andrew...keep on, buddy! We love your enthusiasm and diligence!

    Nice work Andrew!😉. Why people say you need more over the pipe is because ADS pipe what you're using suggests min. 12" over coverage. But most applications it isn't as rocky as the ground you seem to be working with. Here where I'm from in the NW we have some soft soils and can blow out the pipe easily if not covered good. Keep up the good work and love the videos!

    mark suson Uh huh. You obviously know nothing about heavy construction. 1. ADS pipe gets its strength from being property bedded and backfilled with the proper material. 2.The pipe was partially punctured with the excavator tooth. 3. The pipe was laid directly on a rocky ledge bottom. And no heavy vehicles? Septic truck, oil truck, fire truck.
