I Loaded the Other Half of a Giant Concrete Pipe Alone... Then Came the Bill

This is the continuation of my previous video. I loaded the remaining half of a giant concrete pipe onto my dump truck by myself. To be honest, I wasn't sure I could finish the job until it was finally on the truck. Many people suggested using a steel cable after the last video. I actually brought both a grinder and a cable that day, and even considered cutting a notch in the pipe to thread the cable through. In the end, I decided to try it without the cable. The pipe was almost exactly the same length as the dump bed, so it kept sliding backward. All I had was an old rope hooked onto the back of the excavator bucket. Looking back, I don't think I could repeat this job the same way. A contractor quoted me ¥110,000 to dispose of the pipe. I hoped doing it myself would cost around ¥30,000, but the final disposal fee was ¥86,130. After all that work, it wasn't nearly as cheap as I had imagined. Even so, the pipe is finally gone, and that's what matters most. ⏱ Chapters 00:00 The remaining half 00:14 Why I didn't use a cable 00:48 Contractor's quote: ¥110,000 01:25 A car blocks the perfect path 04:39 Bucket hook and an old rope 07:31 The pipe starts to slip 10:58 The rear gate finally closes 11:13 The real disposal cost If you enjoy watching careful excavator work and real-life land cleanup projects, I'd be happy to have you along.
