Digging out a hillside for a parking area
Our access road runs through a steep ravine along a creek before coming to a steep 4wd only hill. We need a place for people to park and for me to be able to turn around without going all the way out to the road. In this video I use my yanmar vio 25-6a mini excavator to dig out a hillside and make a parking area.

Glad to see you back!
Thank you for sharing your experience
CAN you put à Link on the relay And thé fan, good job And great idea
How much do you love that bucket thumb/!? So handy
Good lord. 3/4 of this video is watching the guy gluing pipe together. Didn’t have patience to watch since I already know how to do that.
Dump truck still working good? I'm looking for one myself now.
yea it is, if you can find one of these for a good price I like it. Capacity is a bit low but it's good for around the property.
is this a French drain? If not how does the drainage water get in the pipe?
It's not. This is in the middle of a relatively long ditch, it's just so water can get from one side to the other.
So i just milled 1000 board feet of tulip poplar to do board and batten on my shop i just built. Can you explain to me why your poplar has that dark staining in that particular spot…i dig the aged look, but would prefer it is uniform
Nice, the dark spot is from water splatter off the deck.
Looking great buddy. Now you're going to want to do the whole driveway. I think its time to push the old trailer off the road and let the brush grow around it. LOL
Thanks Justin. I'd like to but there isn't the real estate on the creak side of the road in a lot of places. The trailer is going...
Glad to see you back,many times we wanted to reach out but weren’t sure what you were going through, glad to hear you’re doing well. I can definitely relate to not having time for videos. Can’t wait to see what your up to now.
Hey thanks Jason. Keep up the good work on all your projects.
People want pond build videos😅😅
yes, I am aware!
😊 thank you for sharing.
No problem 😊
any improvement is not a waste, at least 2 cars wide for the entire length of the driveway
Were thinking about spraying under our cottage. We have pink insulation now, not a lot. Its covered with the fiber/foam black board. We are having trouble with pests boring holes through the seams and along edges were it meets the rafters. Can we spray this over the black boarding and will it keep the pests out?
I’m not sure what you mean by black boarding? I’d personally replace the pink insulation with spray foam and maybe protect the whole thing with hardware fabric.
Glad to see you’re back! Really enjoyed following along as you went about your chores and tasks in this vid. While you were away I put into practice some of the things I learned from your previous videos. Looking forward to learning more and just hanging out with you at the cabin!
👍
Good job, Mike. Thanks…
Good stuff, but get rid of that junk trailer ...LOL
The culvert is a great idea. Looks like you could get a lot of water collecting in a downpour coming down that hill.
I don't know why RUclips is not letting me see this, but rest assured that I will keep looking for this and trying again! I'm amazed that I can comment!
I’m with Mikey.
long time no see, missed ya. I always feel so much more peaceful after I watch your channel. God Bless
Love your vids Mike, make sure you keep enough dirt to fill in the settled dirt over the culvert
Ещё не смотрел, но лайк поставил! (Твой русский друг)
Mike you do quality craftsman work. Not many people take pride in their work. You should be proud.
Welcome back it looks like you lost a lot of weight. Good for you.. Just ask myself what happened to that guy From The RUclips channel glad you’re back, making some good videos..
Digging out a hillside for a parking area is a remarkable feat of both hard work and ingenuity! Your dedication to creating a practical and well-planned space shows impressive skill and determination. It’s inspiring to see how you tackle such a challenging project with precision and commitment. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
Thquestion: Is always. How many hours did actual digging pond take.???
If u wanna dig a pond fast, at 26.00, he scrapes dirt 1st. ...then he scoops loose dirt 2nd. Snart. Good operator.
Happy to see you back
We get those gross bug poop spots in our cabin in Gallia County too.
Good to see you and the cabin again!
For a minute I thought you were going to do an Andrew Camerata-style demo on the camper, lol
Great to see you again.
This Country is still free. However to make it safer for ALL there needs to be rules and regs to guard against people like 34 Felonies Trump. If he by chance ever gets in this country is FKD.
Welcome back!
One of a kind Cabinets on Earth. Beautiful.
Nice vid. Not a fan of the music choice
Have your boom arm and bucket curled in closest to machine when blading it will reduce the machine hop
Great video Mike, just a little question, since you said that you will extend more the horizontal cut into the slope are you going to do some erosion control, to protect the slope vertical cut?
Looks great! Just a side note, communal feeders like that for deer are really bad for the spread of chronic wasting disease
Too many commercials. Regular tv has less.
might pay to pay a bright post a each end of the culvert to show visitors where it drops off
Mike, glad to see you back. I hope Sara is doing well. The apartment/shop is finished?

Psalm 23 King James Version 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Gods blessings over you .
G'day again from downunder Mike. Nice video and it will be a useful area when youve finished. Have you thought about building a rock wall around the entrance on the high end of the culvert. It would help funnel water into the pipe and reduce any erosion during heavy rain. Keep up the good work mate 👍
Beautiful craftsmanship.
This one’s for you big Mike.😊 I like excavators too.
Excited to see another episode so soon!
