This may be an old video but I still love it when all 3 of you are together

Years ago when my Dad built the house I grew up in the local “engineer” wouldn’t let him install the master en-suite because that meant 3 bathrooms and the front lawn wasn’t big enough to provide the needed runs for the tile bed. My Dad argued that an extra bathroom didn’t mean you would crap more. At least Perry County has it right and it’s base on how many could potentially live in the planned dwelling.

Hello dirt perfect. Here in the Philippines to dig your septic we first eliminate all the unnecessary testing. That means everything. Next you start your house, then get two laborers to start digging a very large hole beside said house. Build up walls with 4" hollow blocks, attach pipe, and pour concrete slab on top. This is only for sewage as shower and sink water goes into side of property where trees and bushes are. When septic is full, you make sure completely sealed and then dig another hole about ten feet away and attach pipe extension. ( Repeat as needed).

I don't know what you'd call the system we have. I live in a semi arid area of South Dakota. The soil (if you want to call it that) is very granular. It's also a very shallow layer before you hit bedrock. We dug several test holes and couldn't come close to what was needed. So our contractor began hauling in material for a djainfield several years before we built. If I recall, it was around 60 truckloads. The septic tank is in solid rock. It took an entire day with a 320 CAT and a 6" hammer to dig the hole for it. After some excavation, a bed of clean rock was laid and then a grid of perforated pipes all interconnected in a loop was laid on top, followed by more clean rock and a heavy Fabric. and then covered with more fill. All told, with the original fill, clean rock and additional fill, we're around 80 truckloads of material.

Not only learning how a septic system is installed, but as I'm watching it I got an email that my DP merch shipped. It's been a good day.

Letsdig18 would never put his volvo that close to tree branches. He does not even like mud getting on his machine. That tree grew up while you were not looking. The job came out great.

Actually, that was educational. Never occurred to me that there were so many variations on septic systems. After this video, and one from Captain Kleeman a couple of days ago, I've found out that what is "mandated" here is actually "prohibited" in other places. Especially, thanks to all three of you for the entertainment!

Love seeing y’all have fun working!

Laughing is what makes the day go by fast thumbs up guys awesome job 👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️👊👊👊👊

Matt looks like a true Jeep kinda guy in this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

I had to get on the county with my assessment as they had 15 bathrooms assigned for two people. We have 2+2. (two half and two full). The property was the central part of a large Saw Mill that milled this side of the county. The Big mill milled counties of wood. The Mill that was here is still working in a different part but is working. Always something. Three brothers it sounds like! What a crew! Nice guys all. Good work also.

Good work boys 👍I do not think that exact system will pass here in Sweden but there is not a big difference from what I got for my house. you have way to much fun at work. Your videos make a good end of the day . Stay safe all of you.

Great video Mike as always. I like how you explain everything in detail how to do a septic system. I enjoy all your videos

Another good Video good job operating equipment again the job look good my friend I like watching all y’all working having fun joking around that’s the way to work together keep it up be safe

You guys are making a work day fun, great job!

Excellent! you're becoming a pro in narrating your videos! You are already a pro in what you do Excellent job can wait to see the other 2 🚜🐈👍

Hi Mr. Dirt Perfect. What is so special with your videos is simply. You enjoy your job and just as important have fun doing it. I am sure it is not always stress free. This past weekend I got a chance to get in a mini traco for the first time. Running it is not as easy as it seems when you watch a group of professionals run the equipment. It does make me remember not to stress out over the little things and focus on the positive/fun parts of our jobs. Did you get the job done at the end of the day and are you or the customer satisfied with the end results, that is truly what matters. Smiling, Dave

Good job Mike. Besides working on a strip mine I mainly put in septic systems. Here in PA is pretty much the same rules you got there. And once again another perfect job done !! Great job you guys. You make it look so easy., And very informative. Nice vid Mike.

Thanks for making my day so good 😊 x

I appreciate your explanations, I don't know beans about what you do but find it interesting and I learn good life tips along the way. Well done. Tyingitforward

For a little while I thought I had tuned in to a three stooges show by mistake. But thanks for the ongoing explanations. Who would have thunk there were so many regs for getting rid of waste.

When there is more than 1 man working there always talking about blowing. Lol lol good job as always thanks for making better since on their system. Thank to all of u.

you 3 guys are so much dam fun when all together lol

you explain pretty well most times- but i also have a background in construction so it all makes sense to me anyway.

Sept. 3. We got to see this video. Good work on the job. Watch out for the tools and trees.

Another Great video, Good work guys, Stay Safe

Infiltrator is what we use in limited space in Tennessee

Mike is like a few truck drivers I've known. Back up until something goes crunch. Then pull ahead and back up a little faster.👍

No tools are safe when Mike is operating. No mirrors are safe when Kleenman is driving. Our ears aren't safe when Aaron has the camera. Lol 😆 God bless

Great video y'all have a great week and stay safe 👍

For a self-proclaimed “not good on a skid steer”, you do an excellent job

Man you are very good at narrating and explaining. Great video again

DP, thank you for the entertainment.

Awesome Job!!

Guys, your job was so breathtaking !

Thanks for the education Mike!

14:20 😂 “I’ll give you this you dug us a great hole to get down to work in” 😂 😂 😂

Thanks for the specs!

Informative and definitely entertaining

If I’m understanding the overall consensus, it’s Dirt Perfect, Operator Marginal. 😁. Great work guys, you make DP look good.

Nice work ✅

Very good explanation on septic system

Like the video guy's and Mike job wel done .

Such a funny video.. Aaron standing on the Kubota, and Mr. DP are eye to eye... people want to know can Aaron actually see over the steering wheel or does he require a booster seat every time?.

Ya do a good job explaining what you are doing. I've done some house drawings, just not not all the details that come after. Excellent work!!.. (y)

You guys are awesome 😂😂❤

Looks like you got this video out 2 weeks earlier than thought. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 July 3rd was my 27th wedding anniversary and today is August 17th. You’re getting caught up. 😂🤣

God bless and be safe and I have you all in my prayers

Good job well done.

Quality viewing as per usual guy’s 👍🏼 Smashed it 👊🏼

Back when we lived in Illinois we had to do percolation testing in six spots where you want to have the field. We had three bedrooms and was required to have a minimum of three hundred foot of trenched in pipe with two foot of gravel over the pipes.

I'm not actually watching this so I can learn how to put one of these in , I'm just here for the great entertainment between friends and the machinery

Hello there, it's good dry ground. If that was over here in the UK, you would have the pump in there.

Sounds like Matt and Aaron need their safe space. I think HR might need to order a roll of bubble wrap so they can wear it at the job site, just for their peace of mind, LoL. I enjoy watching good humor and awesome team work, fun times!

Those Harley rakes are an awesome tool.

As a disabled Republic of Vietnam combat veteran, thanks for the videos. I'm near 80. I'm shut-in. I don't have sex anymore either. I was drafted into the Army. Back in the day, I put a septic into the ground and did it all by hand. I did learn that if the drain field was in a high gound water table area, one should lie the drain tile perfect level. A drain field tilted will back up. Any hows, best to you. Eaglegards...

a year prior on the same date i was building the second floor log on a cabin. then the ridge and rafters got to the last rafter and the cabin bolt broke sending down threw the floor logs. ripping all my right shoulder tendons. then passed out from pain and fell 10 ft to the concrete floor. one year later this july i finished the cabin. trust me your day could have been much worse. had to get back on the horse and get er done. i hope you all had a great fourth.

Massachusetts Is a pain in the ace. I actually gave up my septic license and no longer bid on them . I just sub them out now. Plus it’s super competitive everyone here does them. Great vid 👍

That was very interesting but some what mind boggling, but I guess after awhile you get the hang of it.... funny how codes very, nice work

Your music in the videos and watching you guys work reminds me of the Keystone Cops! Lol

Love that ragtime !

Thats impressive

I wish septic installs were that easy here.

The county I mainly install in requires filters with every new tank. They also don’t like green pipe until you get 5’ from your distribution box. It’s interesting how different things can be in the same state just different counties. From what I’ve been told not many presby systems have been installed in the county yet. Mainly chambers, pipe and stone or mounds depending on what part of the county you are in.

Well DP, I was with you right up until the point when you backed into the tree, now I'm gonna have to go with what the boys said. Sorry dude but the video doesn't lie. Lol

In California they tell you what system to use, what color underwear you must use for operating machines, what color underwear for ground crews, what fingers are allowed to touch what shovel etc. The norm for our area is chamber with leach field. Pretty much only the County area in So Cal is Septic. I live 40 miles NW of L.A., I am city sewer and my in laws 5 miles away are septic.

Closing the door while he was talking was funny 😂

Do that system in parts of Oregon. You'll be having fun with boulders. You're lucky to dig 2 foot before the large rocks makes things a pain in the arse.

Here in Louisiana we have 2 Have a sewer treatment plant. No more septic tanks. Tank size is dependent on bedrooms. Tail Line out tank then infiltrator then pipe to ditch.

That would never fly in my area.....😁 ADS makes an internal coupler if you don't like external, just saying. I've seen things over the years from 55 gal drums to a Sears and Roebuck Redwood tank that actually looked like it was installed yesterday.

Aaron, I’m with you on this one brother! But, the answer is... who signs the paycheck! Enjoyed the video, with all the humor! Reminds me of my days 50 years ago putting in septic systems! Thank you for the memories! But I do have one question, don’t you have to wait 6 hours for the inspector to come before you can back fill?

Sounds more like the man behind the scenes needs a radio to earn you when you're about to hit somethin. Lol

It all boils down to no poo in ground water. You explained it very well. Thanks for all the hard work ole boy. Is the Volvo weak and is it being traded just wondering. Anyways keep up the excellent video keep em coming.

Of course the reason Mike knows septic systems so well. Is because he is full of it and has to have somewhere to drain. Lol God bless

awesome work but y’all are funny as hell

In New Hampshire, where the Presby Enviro-tube System is manufactured, we don't install 1 bedroom systems... 2 bedroom is the smallest system. We also don't down size or lower the square footage for the Leaching Area or Absorbtion Area... we up-size or make it bigger than it has to be. Especially with Presby Enviro-tube Systems, because we know these systems don't perform well over time, and have a terrible track record in terms of longevity. In fact, sand systems don't last as long as traditional Stone & Pipe Systems. As a result, the best way to get added years of service or longer life out these Enviro-tubes is to make the Leaching Area bigger... not smaller. Installing both a High Vent and a Low Vent is important, and in fact, a Candy Cane or Gooseneck Vent Pipe is required by the manufacturer for proper airflow, which these guys did install, but it's too low!

I think you could put a mirror on that right hand side and then you would have seen that tree either one of those censors that reads that it's something's behind you

The boss is ALWAYS right.

Well Buddy let Me tell ya a secret. In Texas We may have 3 bedrooms with 30 people living there 😀. On certain areas of town...or boarder towns. Lol. Good Jobs

Presby s are just catchin on here in mass . i think there kind of a pain to put together. You guys have similar rules there except engineers do all soil evaluation and design plans. Good vid

The septic question you didn’t answer and everybody wants to know is how did Aaron get out of the hole that was dug for the tank? It’s clear on the video that the 54” hole is about 6” over his head. Did you not show it because it may not be an OSHA approved method of movement?

That’s a really slick system... just curious if it had to be sand? Couldn’t you use drainage rock? And about those helpers of yours... they’re full of shiggles & gits!!! Mr Simon this was a most excellent primer on what goes into making a septic system!!!

12" x 32" is twelve inches by 32 inches. Bet you could build some really nice small houses. Ha. Great show that's very entertaining. Keep it going.

Hello there again, that breather pipe, you would think it would be green. It kind of jumps out at you.

3 Hockeyologist having fun at work..........enjoyed

I found it interesting that even though the chart has a minimum, 2 bedrooms, you can still cut it in half. I know you are not here, here we would have to go with the minimum stated on the chart. example 2 would mean "less than 3"

This is a hard one to answer I would say HR probably signs your paychecks the dirt perfect is the boss so sometimes you just got to knuckle under and say yes sir

Hope you guys know how lucky you are to be able to smile while you work

👍 Nice work. What do you do with the extra sand?

let's say i have land that does not perc well enough. 20 acres or so. just a thought, but, let's say i dig a pond, just to get the dirt, raise where i put the house by 20 feet, can i haul in material that would perc well and build an acceptable septic field? everything being 20 foot higher.

The BOSS is always right..............

Enjoyed👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🗽🗽

good looking job good clean up hate septic regs but necessary no body want,s bo water running

Hey if they give you too much trouble just bury Em and then you can say well they fell in an under the tank

Boss all way right

The only building codes in my county in SW Missouri Have to do with the septic systems. Basically the home owner has no say so what so ever has to what or where. Engineer does a perk test on 3 holes by timing how long a bucket of water takes to disappear then they write up what they want and where they want it . No appeal form the home owner. I lost an acre of hay field to my system. Cost is about 5 grand around here . I'm surprised there are not more strict regulations that close to the river. Good job and good vid.

Yo nya you agreed with the 1000 ft bed. Come on man😮😮

That looks like a pretty neat system. But its a pain trying to keep up with the country regs. They change them so much.

There seems to be a bit of a problem with that new fanged plastic air cored 7853 square mm conductor. There is two places I'd have put a tool box. Neither of them involve dirt, trees or rocks. One of them has 140 on it.

Oh the bantering is funny
