We got stuck into moving a mountain of earth to create a driveway!! Without doing this, we couldn't get a car up on the land so this was a must that we got a driveway sorted straight away.

    as i see it, if the driver had raised the truck bed on the first and second attempt he would have gotten the tree stuck underneath it and wouldn't be able to lower it again , driving forward with the bed up at that angle would be a disaster too. please clear the tree at the gate or you won't get the static home in either !

    You should of spread the first drop on BOTH SIDES of the drive way in so he didn’t sink like he did, and anyone with any common sense would of spread the pile across before he got there as you knew where you wanted it. You’ve made yourselves sound like idiots, specially the women shouting like he’s doing something wrong. And you for being arsey with him about the “hole” he dug… Jesus Christ you really are idiots. Really dislike your channel after watching this and will be unsubscribing.

  • @ruthbees7214
    @ruthbees7214 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a tipper driver and it is difficult because of the weight you do know your going to sink. Until you do the best thing to do tip the first load just off the road by the gate. Grade it inwards second load reverse on clean stone drop the load grade that and so on. Even with the stone down doesn't mean you will not sink if it is not compacted. Been there 30 years mixers as well. Reverse once only keep straight if possible when it starts to feel the pain stop that's it. It going to go any further no matter how hard you try. Wish you well on your project. Thanks mark bridgend south Wales.

    Betting there's no planning permission for this... hope it works out for you, there's a lot of young couples trying this sort of thing since Covid, taking their chances that the shambles of local bureaucracy somehow misses them, or giving no thought to it. I'd love to do this, but it's very hard to do it legitimately in the UK on your own land.
