Potential Major Problem Jeopardizes Epic Lake Build

[Music] oh man behind the scenes somehow we're early to work today but yet we're still late yeah we're late yeah Jerry uh I'm going to just start later so we come earlier and he gets here earlier than us yet you know what he tell me this morning I said what are you doing here already he goes oh I was so mad last night I couldn't sleep a groundhog tore up my tore up my garden I guess he was out groundhog hunting this morning and got mad and come to work so all right we are uh well now that we're we got our butt tuned for being late even though we weren't Yeah Yeah from the part-time guy we are uh I guess what we're going to do we're going to run I can't even talk this morning Jerry has got me all kinds of flustered yeah we going to run great on this thing I think so I think let's go ahead and get it close Okay um I do know I put a spot where we are so basically from that spot all the way to this other spot which is about 70t that way okay this is all high not by much which way do you think I need to take the dirt you want me to take it that way I don't know he's pushing here let's go ahead and push this way okay and uh I think let's push this way and start getting it built up over there all right well now this is our free board yes so we are 2T above wall above water level all right well I'm going to go hop on the OB I don't want to slow down Jerry's progress let's Buzz this off and then uh we're going to get back to holding dirt sounds good [Music] I got too much going on paint can grade Rod uh camera uh I need one of them hat things so I can just put the camera on my hat oh boy meting of the mines now up on the dam yeah I'm not over there to got him in the right direction here I'm all the way on the other side of the dam well he don't understand what this means you got are you got explain to the people what's going on here well yesterday I was getting ready to get on roller and I I was going like this but wasn't get no response from Jerry he was looking at me like what are you doing so I had to get down the ground and roll for the roller so I kind of roll through the grass and see if that's what he wanted me to do I think I just something in regards to being a few years the dirt perfect now I start doing that go ahead and just lay me off or whatever I can only do about four or five rolls and I get dizzy I got dizzy just watching you there at least he's got normal socks on today Jerry socks you had scuba Doo socks on the other day got a prime shirt on today you just you just got to fit in you know all right well I think we officially got a plan we got our hand signals figured out yes and I came over and got you to going in the right direction now instead of looking like from over there look like you guys was getting ready to butt blades so I figured i' have to come over here and get things lined out and I got that taken care of so now we're all on the same page right Jerry well let's see how long that works here yeah yeah all right where he's going to start at is right at grade we got probably six in needs to come out here we're back to grade right here so he needs to cut that down and bring it this way while Jerry's working on pushing up more good uh fill dirt over there we're going to take this dirt this way so right there he's on the high spot then we're going to come down right like that and then what I did is I put these spks on this swim roll so he kind of knows where elevation is at let him get one more push and then uh I'll get my great rod and uh marking paint and uh see where we're at all right now we'll grab this bad boy see we're a little low here we're a little high [Music] yet we're down here where he started pushing oh something's dead out here I can smell it see it's still high here right here is my grar right there so now he's pushing the other way I guess he's got plans for that other side being really low good there [Music] go down quite a bit [Music] I go down two all the way across yeah all right so we went through and cut about 2 in so up through here we're good we're only about a quarter a half off so that's good that's good a little high right there that's okay get out of the way so that's within a/4 in right there almost dead dead on that's good that's good that's good that's within a half in that's right on the money that I like that is under a quarter there we are perfect half [Music] in perfect right there I love that now here we're getting a little low again so right there we are all right what you got pushed off there is perfect it's it's within a/2 in all the way through there so that's good right here is where we start going back down so basically we got a what 78t spot Yeah so basically where you started there or you know that spot there where you started coming this way is all good it just needs to be brought up over there and then this is good to right here and then it needs brought up well I say you want to roll this all when get done and then uh we'll get set up hold dir again all right sounds good so yesterday guys we were digging we were digging dirt out back here you kind of see our cor we started digging we're going to switch gears a little bit this morning and actually start digging dirt out right here along this bank and the reason for that is basically even though that's original ground and that's not a dam I want to go ahead and core this down here we probably go ahead and end up filling this right back in I don't know for sure but I'm a little bit concerned that vein of sand may run back underneath this hill and if that's the case I want to get it headed off so we don't leak water back out into the field uh we hit that same vein of sand over there yesterday as what we hit down here we know it got we know we got it headed off down there because of that core so basically we're just going to kind of continue that core on across even though this core will be down underwater under the dam it uh just give us a little bit of a peace of mind that we got that got that taken care of we need the dirt anyways we got plenty of good dirt back up here to fill it up and compact it in so uh yeah I think it's just a smart move to make sure we get it I hopefully it shows up on uh hopefully it shows up on camera for you guys now I don't even know if we'll even hit it over there but you can see it right here see that vein going through there it kind of dissipates as it gets over here it's not near as not near as bad it runs underneath the island but that don't matter cuz the Island's going to have water all the way around it anyways we just need to make sure it don't run back up underneath that Hillside so let's just double check make sure we're good and that way we'll know all right here's over we doing a little rolly rolly for o uh Jerry we going to go ahead and get this truck back down there into [Music] place one thing is a little bit bad about these cameras whenever you back into the sun they got a little bit of a glare on them which they do have Sun Sun shields on them but it's not bad but man once you get out of the sun look at that look at that going back into the new case exavator that wouldn't be [Music] good all right let's get this thing loaded see if we find anything interesting down there [Music] w [Music] [Music] that's crazy guys second scoop in there it is we get back into good clay right below it so this was a good call this is a very good call to come over here and cor this out to make sure we got got what we needed so I'm going to go ahead and uh loop on around tie into Jerry's good dirt back here and uh just eliminate any question marks from without being an issue away we go [Music] switch this around a little bit just want to make sure if we're going to go through the trouble of chasing this uh sand bin we we get it all so switched around and actually dug back into our existing core just to make sure we intercepted it it kind of comes and goes but you can see it right through there the plain as day right here you can see it right there that's our core trench we put in the other day and this stuff here is compacted awesome so uh we'll get some good dirt in here get this filled back in and hopefully get that hopefully get that sealed off so it's not an issue so confident we're far enough that way we're going to keep going basically going to keep going this way and just keep chasing it until it uh disappears or we get to the end of the pond up here let's see which one comes first to good news is if you guys can see down there there's good dirt down below it and it seems to be just in this little vicinity right here uh I haven't really seen it anywhere else so we'll do what we can there load heading out got a little bit of encouraging news if you guys hoed out here with me you can definitely see that sand vein has started to uh dissipate and we're getting back into some much better dirt back in there so hopefully hopefully we got this headed off the way we needed to you can see how the roots of that tree found that sand vein where moisture is at and they just they're all right in it which is uh which is crazy I'm definitely glad we made that decision to come over here definely like we made that decision to come over here and do what we did just to make sure we get that taken care of so I'm going to hop on the uh I'm going to hop on the 850v here real quick but while those two were over there conversing and just kind of clean this up down here want to just kind of scrape out B them and make sure we're in good shape and then we'll keep on it going he [Music] all right good news guys double good news honestly the sand pretty much disappeared right there it kind of slopes up and disappears and after that we got into some absolutely excellent dirt I went ahead and dug down another four 5 ft just to make sure there wasn't nothing hiding or lurking down below we got a little bit of nasty stuff in there but it's also mixed with some really good stuff that that stuff should hold water so I think we're good there it's got It's got some sand in it but it's got enough clay in it too should be uh should be good to go so we're going to take advantage of what good dirt we got get this core filled back in this stuff up here is absolutely excellent excellent material we got quite a bit of it so we stay in that we should be in should be in pretty good shape I think we got a plan [Music] this last little dirt I through on there it's actually some pretty good dirt we can use for the dam so I think he's going to back her out here get it dumped up on the dam instead of using it for fill around the back side got good material definitely don't want to waste it [Music] [Music] looking good baby looking good all right back to [Music] work you're doing good bud hey yeah it's nice that's the tree you wanted to take out all right Jerry's got our first Rift a good dirt going back in our little core we dug right here got it tied in really nice over there we hit a good pocket of nice dirt here we're kind of getting into some more questionable stuff up a little bit higher there but hopefully this will uh hope this will take care of any future issues we may or may not have I'll stay over here got G take that tree out driving right on his head with ah she's looking good she's taking shape [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] just about got this core dug up through here it's been quite the uh mixture of dirt coming and going but I think we're going to load load this last load out here and Aaron's going to jump over help Jerry run uh great on that Dam one time we should be getting pretty [Music] close should be getting close can I trust you with my people while I go get his lunch yeah if I remember them you're not going to bury them or run over with a brush hog or I do not like being left alone with a camera bad things happen they do have it that's why I'm asking hopefully I'll see you guys later after lunch if not I'm sorry it's the sad part is the last thing they're going to see for something bad happens is you all while uh Michael went on vacation or I mean uh get a slunch uh Jerry better run pushed off and uh I went ahead and uh rolled it one last time uh he's going to work on over here I know we're probably a little low over here yet but I'm going to reshoot this grade not with put more on I'm hope we're down to just trimming off now but if I do find any low spots what I'll probably end up doing is just market for Jerry and he can come in and uh push some dirt up um we got some dirt back here that's good for this we are out of our water level I do know that so he could use any of this dirt back here to start filling on top because at some point we're going to want some good tops soil up here uh here soon so all right I'm going go ahead I got the uh laser on I'm going to shoot a couple gr shots see where we're at all right I'm going to start over here uh this is our lowest point going start here we'll get the uh laser on and uh we'll just see where we're at so right here I'm going to bring it up and see when we get it so going by how far I'm off the ground there we're about 8 in low right there so I'm just going to go across try to keep it beeping so it looks like we're staying pretty consistent with the uh now we're about six 6 in not bad uh four so staying pretty consistent as far as elevation wise but uh we are still a little low over here by four to 4 to 6 in overall now we're going to start getting into the where the dam goes up so he'll be able to push some of that I think this way oh yeah so oh let me get my head out of the way there we are we're right there that's that's where we want to be right there here so basically from the uh from that pipe going that way we're going to have to put about a 6 in on it then this here it's within within an inch here so this is looking really good here oh getting in the way again so that's looking good is there some reason you're holding that 6 in or 8 in high all the way through there so instead of uh needing a foot of fill we needed a foot and 6 in of fill yeah I was I was off on my math you did good on your foot because it stays very consistent with about 6 in all the way from that pipe all the way around to that lowest point lowest Point's about 8 in still not going to help when dirt perfect gets back no he he ain't going to be happy he was he was ready to call this St yeah I know it you just want to go home we yeah yeah he's he's good yeah exactly so I'm going to go through Jerry and I'm going to check this I have a feeling we're High a little bit and right right over there in the corner and uh we may start pushing that way trying to bring some of it around but no it stayed really real consistent with 6 to 8 in on that uh here where from that pipe over we're pretty well dead on I was hoping that didn't in that range pole wasn't the new one yeah yeah no no still using the old one I know as soon as I get the new one out he's going to run it over with something so it stays in the truck but yeah here yeah we like here already we're a little high by an inch or so so yeah couple inches high [Music] there I tell you what I'll find we're going to be low down in there yeah we're going to be low down in there uh I'll get you a mark where we're okay where our grade is good okay and then uh you can go either way you want now my Jerry's working on that over there right now getting some dirt pushed around I'm going to work on this real quick I just want to find water level to see where our water level is going to be at [Music] all right I know you guys were everywhere sorry about that if he keeps this in here but uh just trying to get our water level so Jerry kind of knows where it's at Water elevation is what I'm looking for right now so water elevation this is that finger going to go back in there so that water will come all the way up to right here then it's going to go up through there a little way it's going to be a finger of water up through there what we're going to do is we're going to go check the island I just want to see where the water's falling out around this island uh give us an idea right now I'm set at Water elevation hard up do is move the laser down to get ground elevation so right here we are I think we're plenty good off of that just going to walk around it see what it's going to look [Music] like still looking [Music] good yeah oh yeah all right I'm going to check this out and make sure the island falls out good Bar's going to get that dirt pushed off up pushed off for me and then we'll go back and check right again well we bum the uh land owner saw got to do a little tree triming here on the old malberry tree but I need a height extension so guess we're going to get old bubba dump out here lad time can you lower the bed so I can get in there sir [Music] [Music] all right hold [Music] that just for the record I raised the B I did not lower it just for the record I still little him athletic enough to get in the back of here you are qualified right oh boy all right can you see see me in the camera see me in your camera oh yeah I see youever I jump in the bed you go down all [Music] right made it [Music] all right that should save the tree and allow us to be able to get equipment through there so that'll work just whenever Aaron dumped me out he dumped out more than just me we need that it's a good thing I'm broke good thing you found that yeah it's been a while pretty good I know it's been a while since I lost one of those I like to keep my record going all right guys I'm just going to grab these limbs real quick throw them in the back of bubba dump while it's here close that way J gets around here he get the Dozer down by that tree that tree is kind of on the property line nobody really wants to know for sure if it needs to stay or go so we're just going to trim him up a little bit for now and uh he's going to be out of be out of Harm's Way for the most part all right fig to better give you guys a little update here before I get uh two carried away we actually switched over started digging out this second little Cove this little point we're going to kind of Le so he's got a short distance to his Island so he can get in there get a decent sized Bridge or something in there Jerry's been working on this area over here getting that core all put in we've actually been holding pulling a few few loads of uh decent dirt over here to help Jerry out a little bit you see we're kind of getting down in the sand layer around there just want to kind of make sure we uh make sure we keep getting dirt on top of that I think this is going to be I think this is going to be our last load of dirt over here then we're going to jump on the 850b probably Buzz this Dam in we pretty much got her up to height all the way around she looking good [Music] [Music] that's our new compactor it works quite well all right let's go hop on doz and we're going to run great on this thing starting to look like a lake getting there all right I think we got enough there here you want to buzz this thing off and fine tun her yep polish her up oh yeah then we'll see what we got yep all right here we go oh man it's so h go around check see what we're like Ma [Music] on wouldn't compact that so hard it wouldn't cut so hard yeah yeah I know it's compacted pretty good uh yeah cuz you didn't cut anything go hard yeah [Music] looks like much he [Music] man oh man I just want to point something out I don't ever want to hear about him telling me I cut too hard I don't know if you guys can see this I just want to point this out right here that's like a foot he done get foot huh what ah just get to work I ain't saying anything yeah look out t cover all the little oops oops oh there another p now he keeps going brings this so you can feather this in a little bit make it look a little better coming around this tree we need a little bit up here there you go play comes together when he listens to me oh you about hit that oh I'll see that so remember that PT sitting over there me and Jerry push two days ain't even came close to hitting it somebody about to H it out he may have got my spray paint hand though [Applause] all [Music] little [Music] [Applause] [Music] look [Music] [Music] Jerry had to take off and go ground home yeah he's on a [Laughter] mission H scenes that looks absolutely awesome yeah it does that is a lot of dirt moved in 2 and 1 half days yeah a whole lot whole lot of that mve the back side of the dam beautiful man that turned out awesome beautiful we got some uh we got some rough edges to uh tie up we'd like to get a little bit more dirt in here just to kind of blend that out but Aon shot the water line here we've actually got a little bit of a high knot right here so I think we'll be able to take I think we'll be able to take a knot pretty easy and uh shave this off fill that in's 4T 4T down it yeah yeah we got quite a bit of dirt right here there so and it comes back into the dam down there but that's where we're we can take this snot down and blend it in and it'll yeah the uh Island looks freaking phen phenomenal yeah out there Jerry started on we're building a little bit of an approach there's a question mark we may or may not he may or may not put a bridge out to the island but at least we're going to give him the option we're going to have a narrower spot right there to where he can can do that if he wants to and I think Monday when we get back down here we're going to have to find a way to start pumping water out of that pond into this one there's not much water in that pond and as driv what this dirt is the ground might just soak it up it might soak it up before it even gets here here but uh we got we still got quite a bit of dirt we want to dig this little finger back here a decent little ways I think between that dirt and the ridge around that Old Pond over there I think we should be able to get that Old Pond filled in so but it is hot it is dry it is Dusty it's Friday it's Friday we've been staring at the river all day long people out there on the boats people over here camping how dare they rub that in our face yeah they started like a dinner why didn't we take off Wednesday yeah true all right guys that's a wrap on this one hope you enjoyed you know the routine big old thumbs up we appreciate it want to make sure you don't miss us on the next one consider subscribing tell them bye see you guys
