Sorry about the blotchiness I have no clue what the heck is going on!!

Looking like a plan. I love it when a plan comes together.

Hi Mike. Merry Christmas! As a licensed plumber I was open to listening to ideas. You never know when a new idea might pop up that would be useful. You saying using the existing pipe as a sleeve was the homeowners idea is a perfect example of keeping an open mind. Ed from Chicago 🙂

D-Boss! Great utility video, they like sand down here, always bring a ton or two to pad waterlines especially with the rocky soil, I’ve seen plenty of pin holes in lines from a rock sitting on them in both copper and plastic lines, also always bring the smoothie bucket to peel the soil off the lawns and for the money shine I bust out the bigdog redmax backpack blower and it gets every speck of dirt in the trench and off the lawn for the sweet finish…that’s how weee do it! Oh and I left a comment on mountain boy’s buying a rock truck video saying give D-Boss! some props for the help…you hooked him up! Thanks for the video…D-Boss! for governor!

Nice cold work. No offense but thank the Lord I live in North Carolina. LOL

Think I may have alluded to this in the past - you know this work is done but never realize, really, that it takes a lot of thought and care in installation avoiding all other utilities. Great work.

Thank you for the 4k. Need to get the other Dirt, Dig and Diesel boys on board.

Scrolling through videos to watch my 7 year old goes, “oh pick that one, I love this guy!” 😊

Thanks for the video Mike. I was always curious what it looks like at the roadside connection. Now I know!

Wow that was very interesting and informative! I really enjoyed how you actually educate us about the job and excavation techniques. As a homeowner I have rented and operated small excavators and have a small Kelly 30 on a Ford 1310. It’s nice to watch an experienced professional and learn more! Most KZfaqrs just run their equipment and don’t share tips and tricks.

Good video thanks for showing. Merry Christmas! I had no problems watching throwing it to the big screen

Smooth job as always. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Stay safe and warm Dirt Boss.👍👍

I put it on the big screen and was only blotchy in the trench one time. Thanks for the video!

Dude your smart, experienced and explain everything well. Great tips for us beginners. Thanks sharing your time and hard work. 👍

The picture just maybe jerked a couple times, but it was good quality, maybe it was just you working fast to stay warm😅

Another outstanding video - you never disappoint. It's really nice to see that you're just about to hit 50K subs. A very Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family, my friend.

Mike you never disappoint. You always have the best construction videos on KZfaq. Nice work👌🏼 Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family.

Mikey Mike...forget about it! this 4k is amazing seeing it on your channel. I mean I've seen it before but wow your detail just pops Man!! 4K= APPROVED✅

Professor D. B., at it again, another top notch and clarity 👌 video to enlighten his people. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

Another awesome job in the books, Merry Christmas Mike to you and your family and friends, take care stay safe and God bless.

Mike looks very cold there wishing g it was like that here in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺. Mike Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you and your family and wishing you a happy and wonderful New year

❤4K

Excellent job Mike. Very nice step by step instructional installation.

We will welcome the new year with the BIG GUY, "DIRT BOSS" hitting 50,000. Everyone, since we all love him, his family & his capabilities tell a few friends and ask them to SUBSCRIBE - IT'S FREE and no one with ever bother you! God bless all of you!

Looks like another job well done thanks for sharing I'm watching this right around Christmas so Merry Christmas

Hudson valley rail and river and air ♥️ 😍

12/21/22. A+Mike on another good job! Much enjoy your on site, step-by-step commentary as you ever so casually slide your bucket, dump the soil, insert new plastic water line thru internal opening of old pipe to target area in crawl space below client house. Enjoyed the step-by-step talk the viewer through your project. Great job! Now time for ☕ coffee & warm up!👍👍👍😊🛠

hey mike if you do 4k for people requesting it I think you have to also record at a higher rate like 60 or 120 but I don't think its worth the extra time and memory it takes you, you're 1080 videos look great anyway!

Great job 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍

Good Mini Excavator👍

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

First class for any work. The Boss is best! Merry Christmas to you and your Family Mike!!!!🎅🏻

I use to install these when I worked for the town I grew up near. Sometimes it was a pain, but I enjoyed the work.

Bloody great job 👌🇦🇺

First off, I see NO BLOTCHINES! Video starts: Bing, Bang, Boom - you promptly and decisively describe the situation and lay out your plan (never miss a beat!) We all sit back and watch it happen JUST AS YOU SAID & with many variables and house furthest from the street. Job done & you plan ahead for new grass! Little you CANNOT do!

Ótimo trabalho like abraço

nice job MR bOSS

good job guys

Great work Mike Merry Christmas to you and your family

Great job Mike. Have a Merry Christmas.

Great job Mike and great video. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. God Bless you Brother.

X mas wish list= bucket pinz and bushings.

Enjoyed, thanks. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄 to you and your family ‼️ We Love the camera you have now, keep up the good work 👍

Great video Dirt Boss!! Merry Christmas to you and your family and our UTube family 🎄💪👍🇺🇸

Come on boss man let’s break 50k by the end of the year, merry Christmas to you and the family sir xx

4K is giving fantastic resolution, makes Full Screen much more enjoyable.. Have a nice Christmas weekend.

Hi Mike, Might of missed it, didn't see a riser installed on top of shot off valve. In case of emergency a water key could be used. (Most cities require it, since meter is after it.... they don't want to pay for wasted water) Great job, another great video Merry Christmas, happy, prosperous and most of all healthy new year to you, your family, friends and viewers

Merry Christmas. Good video.

🔥🔥🔥 Always great to learn from “The Boss”💪💪💪

Good cold day for that job Merry Christmas to you all up there 👍🏻🇺🇸

Merry Christmas

Exelent work. Regards from Poland.

Love that trench compactor. Merry Christmas bud.

Hi I would like to wish you your family and friends the very best for the festive season

Huh West Sand Lake cool! I saw your KZfaq channel on your truck!

Merry Christmas to you and your family

Nice work, that house has a deep setback. Are you getting a new shop building for Christmas? HA

Boss man… I’m thinking a whole video series… Step By Step with Mike & Mike!!! Having it filmed in 4K… boss, you two are ready for a slot on HG-TV. I hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas. PS: the 4K is awesome.

some of the video was artifactting, specially in the shadows and darker scenes. overall better quality, if you are able to, always record in the highest refresh rate possible. 👍👍

nice work as usual, wish they let us use plastic, copper only

❤❤ Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤❤

Hey Mike Merry Christmas to you an the fam, excellent work on the water line, enjoyed watching that, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 💪🇺🇲✊🤙

Nice job boss man, the 4k looked first class. Blotchy? I thought that was the camera struggling in the dull trench light. Didn’t bother me.

You do nice neat work Mike!

👌🤓

زوايه تصوير رائعة

Man that's a big trench for that little 3/4in pipe.

Why would a homeowner want to pay for city water when they have a well? Tainted water, broken pump? Pretty slick sliding the new pipe into the old one!

Hope everyone is well for the holidays I was curious why didn't the home owner have you cut the well pipe below grade and cap it off to eliminate it.

I’m seeing lots are artifacting in the video. I just know that it has something to do with the post processing settings.

Thanks for the awesome content as usual Mike!!! Perfect picture don’t know what you meant about that??? I’d like to wish you Mrs DIRT BOSS and the children a very Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎆🎊!!!! I guess I’ll be seeing you next year!!LOL!!!! Hopefully I won’t be seeing any of the white stuff by me on Long Island!!!!

Needed a bigger bucket for that large pipe 😂

I love how smooth your jobs go! My bosses should really watch ur videos lol. How come you guy don’t use copper coil? Over here in Canada we have to use copper underground

Nice work Mike .👍 By the way Mike , did you know from Andrew Camarata what is his final project on the mountain ?

Hows the hose fittings on that Diesel compactor? I know their tilt bucket hose set up has been an ongoing work in progress. Wish they did the R & D instead of us .

Do you guys up there in Albany have 3” class 54 ductile iron pipe for water service because over here in Queens I can’t find any

Where does the meter go/is the meter in this situation?

Man I miss running track hoe I used to be on a utility crew and sometimes I would run a track hoe When the foreman wasn’t around and there’s a lot of times that I would make my ditches a whole lot safer and better than my foreman and he used to be inspector for water and and sewer and you would think that inspector would do amazing job digging his hole and making it safe for his guys and not yelling and his guys when they’re trying to tell him to make it more safer made made me more knowledgeable of knowing that I’m more of a operator than this inspector used to be inspector and so now I’m doing drywall again but it’s not something I would like to do I love digging dirt I love making holes a clean job is a good job do you want your customers to show up on the job sites saying wow I want this guy to do my next job or your client or whoever you don’t wanna leave big piles of dirt like my old foreman used to be so one day I will start my own Excavating company Because I love it the most and I know that that I can be very good at it and lotta people tell me that you know winner sucks but there is some things that you can do in winter time but it’s what I love to do I’ve been through a lot of jobs and I’m 27 years old and I don’t wanna working for anyone I want to I wanna work for myself make all the money

I recently had my water supply from my meter to my house spring a leak. I paid $200 dollars for a plumber to put a clamp on the line to stop leak. Said pipe is 50 years old and is rusted and pitted and needed to be completely replaced. I am 72 years old and on a fixed income and the replacement cost he gave me was $2500, I can't do the work myself but as of now i have a clamp on my line. but to replace 35 to 40 feet of line from meter to house seems too expensive, the pipe is only 1 1/2 feet deep. Does that seem like too much for that job?

nice job .if your old way of filming is faster go back to it

I'm curious if the well water was bad, or what the reason was that the customer switched to city water? Having grown up in the water well business I'm always a proponent of well water.

are there torque specs for those compression fittings?

you always put sand where the shutoff is when your burying it,,easy to find and dig out later,,whats that pipe above the connection,,the shitter pipe,

1080 is A-OK. Anything higher than that is for geeks with seriously expensive gear and internet bandwidth to suit. So how many of those are out there and is it worth your effort equipment and processing time. Would rather that extra was used for quality content than higher and questionably useful quality image.

Was the well contaminated? Is that why they switched to public?

Hey Mike just found out about your channel through Andrew, whereabouts are are you located?

We're d0es the meter go?

Tracer wire?

That’s the worst pipe you can use! That black pvc junk
