Came here for some catch basin wisdom and found so much more! Thanks for sharing Gods word and having that servants mentality. It’s rare in this profession. Keep it up.

Looks good Sam and not more than 1 percent for the pitch of that drain pipe. And now I follow the gravel driveway guy and elete earth works along with you and Diesel. 😁 Have a great Labor day 👍

Hi Sam. Your doing a real good job there. The install is looking good. Using the wet saw would have been a good idea also. Instead of cutting a square hole, you can cut a stop sign. Do the first 4 cuts directly across from each other. Then the next 4 would be to cut at an angle to the other 4 connecting them. Let's say we are looking at a wall. The first cut would be at the top parallel to the floor. The second cut would be at the bottom, parallel to the floor and your first cut. The third cut would be on the left, perpendicular to the floor and your first 2 cuts. The 4th cut would be on the right, perpendicular to the floor and again perpendicular to the first 2 cuts. Basically you now have a square, without the corners being connected. Your remaining 4 cuts would be at the corners at an angle to the other cuts. With practice you could almost just follow the circle and just cut deep enough, to score the box, which make it easier to knock out. You could use the saw and make as many plunge cuts as you want, in the circle to make it easier for knocking out the hole. I usually used a 3lb hammer for more control. My boss usually just ordered most storm drain structures without any holes. Sanitary structures were different, usually came with a boot. In short, a few different ways to make the holes. Find out what works best for you. Also I apologize for such a long description. I myself understand and retain better in a word picture. Lol I was a plumber for 30 years. (Can't remember if I told you that, back when I first subbed. ) Looking forward to part 2 Ed from Chicago 🙂

Nice work! Appreciate the message about wisdom! This world would be a better place if more people had a proper fear of the Lord, and sought Godly wisdom. God bless you Sam!

Looking good! Glad I could help. It was AWESOME meeting you my man. Hopefully we can work together again soon!

Awesome message at the end of the video! It really shined some light on my situation at work

I just started watching your videos. I love how you ended this one. This should be done for all. It is always good to hear a Bible verse. Everyone needs God in their lives and hearts. Thank you, and keep up the great work. God bless.

Keep this work going brother. God Bless.

Amen. God bless you

After years of knocking those holes out, I started paying extra to have my precast structures booted accordingly. Then we just had to drop them in the ground, lube up the culvert, shove it together and keep movin

Hello Sam, I have been watching and enjoying your videos. I am also an excavation contractor. In the future you may want to avoid using elbows in larger drainage work. A way to achieve that lower elevation would be set the structure at the lower elevation and ad risers to achieve grate elevation. I'm going to guess 2.8% slope for your math problem. Thanks keep up the good work and God Bless!

thank you for your message

God bless you !

Hello Sam, Man you have it looking Good around that Job. The “W” word is a pain to deal with. I believe you have it going your way now Boss.!! I appreciate the Message My Friend 👍🏻.!! Take Care Evert

15” (1.25’) drop over 44’ is a 2.84% slope

Im from Ringgold as well . Just wanted to say nice job!!

Ya did a fine job ! 😎❤️

Thanks for making a great video. I am about to install a catch basin and culvert across my driveway. Is there anything that needs sealed around the culvert where it enters the catch basin or it just sits in there loose? Thank you.

Sam you might want to make a swail and load it up with trap rock to slow down the erosion at the end of the trench where the water drains out

Hello sir good job and thank you for wonderful message word of God and God Bless

That’s what I would like to do is come out and meet you on a job visit and work lol

1.25' ÷ 44' = .0284 x 100= 2.84% slope Great job👍

God bless you, your Family, and your business! And, thank you for your witness. In the name of Jesus! Amen Ray Romans 10:9

Hi there Sam, What editing software are you using? I hope you're having a good week my friend

Love ur videos Sam. 2.84% for ur ditch btw.

Another way you can knock those holes out is to get Andy Dufresne from the Shawshank Redemption. He's good and that kinda stuff. 🤣🤣

2.8 percent slope. Drill lots of holes and then punch out. I may score it with a diamond blade.

1% slope for each 10 feet...so between 4"-6" drop at other end

Was it a 3% grade for the pipe between boxes?

2% slope is minimum

God Bless 🙏 you 😇...For the love of money is the root of all evil...Its God who is providing you with the wisdom and physical health and God is your boss and in the end you are rewarded with money 💰...But once greed sets in. It destroys the purpose

Rise divided by run times 100 = slope. 15/528=.0284 x 100 = 2.84 slope

It’s approx. 2.8°

2.8ish%.

Roughly 2.8% slope??

Slope of the pipe needs to be 2.8%

2.94

Excellent camera work at best

I wonder what these pipes were .there's a warehouse being built and these pipes are everywhere...plus they are draining a creek to build a road in there....not cool because good man there are deer everywhere that drink the water at best ....

Watch letsdig18.. very professional.. probably very helpful to you on lot of projects you been covering.. keep up good work!.. enjoy your videos.
