    The thing I appreciate about your videos, Andrew, is that you tell a story. You don't just show up and film the work, you record you arriving at a place, which shows what rig you're bringing, the state of the job currently, and it serves as am intro. When you're done we get a follow-up to see the state after you're done. I'm sure it's a ton of work, but I really makes your videos stand out. Well done, sir. There's a reason you've got so many subs.

      He really does do a lot of work with the camera. He doesn't leave it at the same view for the entirety of an area he's working, he moves it to get all types of different angles. That makes the job last longer for him too getting on and off the tractors.

      @@thelyingscotsman7993 yeah, if you review his older videos, you start to appreciate all the camera moving even more - Andrew often walks quite a bit to have the scene set up AND then arrives with vehicle, super easy to spot in winter videos by the footsteps and lack of tire tracks. That takes a lot of effort.

      Evanscreek Brahman that’s how Labradors or labs are, which is what Levi looks like. They are water sport dogs, retrieving ducks and other fowl was something they were raised for long ago. They have thick coats to help shed water and stay warm in water. Summer heat is no fun for them so they will always look for a way to cool off.

    One of the best channels on TH-cam. You gotta know that Andrew has a lot of skills, but especially social skills. It is hard to deal with customers who will make decisions that are not in their own self-interest, out of stubbornness or unwillingness to put out the money to do a job right. Andrew is very accommodating and went that extra mile to fix a problem the best he could. Undoubtedly, with a few big rains or snows, that drive is going to be in bad shape again. I'm glad these videos exist to document that AC did recommend gravel for a better fix. I hope these people don't complain in 3 months about his work.

    Nice one Andrew.
    When I first saw the tooth-bucket I was skeptical but when I saw what it did it was a great option.
    Some of the spots it worked perfect but where there was too little gravel it over-turned some of the dirt.
    It would have been better if they filled the holes with gravel and then leveled it.

    Showcasing the jobs you like doing is a great way to advertise and keep up the style of work. Love the intro and outro too, makes the job and video complete. The other aspect that sets your videos apart and above the herd and a lot of mainstream media is the pace with no overdone explanations of thoughts or processes, letting the visual information transfer without slowing speed, something which adds a lot to keeping the viewer remaining focused. I wouldn't change the pace btw I think you have it spot on as some media pros have stated here previously.

    Ripping up the road surface is called scarifying. If the surface was not scarified to a depth below the bottom of the potholes, they will most likely reappear in the same places again. It will be interesting to see what happens next spring.

      Anthony Hartzog the point of buying multiple identical machines is so when your machine breaks on the job you can swap it out and finish the job without delay. I’ve had to wait 2 weeks for a part on my skid steer.

    Those major potholes and wash out in your video are all pretty much in shaded areas. Our gravel driveway got some potholes in the same places all the time... from overhanging tree branches. When there was a lot of rain it was like certain branches would "funnel" the downpour into certain places. Because they were shaded they wouldn't dry out as fast. We regraded and crowned every late spring and fall, and trimmed those branches... we still got some potholes but not so bad where the trimming happened.

      Just from my experience that is all about reading people. They usually stand out as overspending with a lavish lifestyle and their reputation precedes them. There were plenty of people I just simply refused to work for but you can't judge them all. My father had a really successful hardware store after ten years in construction and only refused service to one woman. She kept buying paint by the gallon, using half and refilling each can with water and returning it for a full refund. My father cheerfully refunded her money after figuring her scam out and took her aside and told her he could no longer afford her patronage.

      He's not actually working in that cloud we see through the camera's POV the cab is a wee bit higher and somewhat further back - but you are certainly right his sinus and lungs are eating some rock and organic dust and a decent 3M respirator or its equivalent would add spring to his step and depth to his breath in twenty odd years. Somewhat like layering some loads of gravel on that drive, why not splurge the cost for the future comfort and forgo a false economy.

    The cost of maintaining a dirt road is always there. The cost of not maintaining it is offset by car repair bills, and the cost of paving it is too high initially. Pro's and con's the way life is LOL

    • @Noah_E
      @Noah_E 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Even if you have to open a line of credit, paving is the way to go. We paved the driveway at our cabin ~5 years ago and it has made a world of difference. Resealing every 3 years vs near constant maintenance makes it a no brainer. No more getting the tractor out and leveling it every other time we're there. No more worrying about ruts and gravel clogged culverts.
