    Bucket Cam!! Nice view on loading the haul truck. It’s really interesting how you plan moving dirt in so many stages like moving dirt to get it out of the way, moving dirt to make a ramp, moving dirt to take out the old pipe, moving dirt to pack around the new pipe, always being as efficient as possible, and the beautiful results don’t show all the planning that was needed. Your videos do.
    You are making me a big fan of that orange clay!

All the equipment and Barney worked great for you Chris, the packing job looks amazing brother! And always thanks for sharing Chris, your videos are always appreciated brother!

And it helps me get insight in to what he does daily on his jobs. Notice you do not have scrapers. I had to follow my husband as he took one to a job 35 miles away.

    Whenever Chris jumps into another machine, it reminds me of the Terminator movies. You see his brain run through 6-8 different gear/control patterns like Arnie with the Harley or the semi. That is one big overflow assembly & a lot of work installing it (properly)! With what you've done with the shoreline, the head section & now the overflow, you're getting closer to the end. Not there yet & that's good because that means 2-3 more videos, yeah!
