    Chris, I don't what is more impressive, your grading work or the video production. Thank you for sharing another great video. Your friend from Rougemont.

    My toddler loved that. He’s shouting ‘splashy splashy splashy’! Loved the laid back, feet up operator position!

  • @TheSnakeman3

    To be able to keep an overall picture of the grade of the entire job in your head while moving dirt around is a good skill. I also like the drone footage.

    Love the drone shot, it really shows what you’re doing! 👍👍

    I liked the sped up footage with the high elevation point. It is something different for you. Great Job. Thanks all the videos and the time out of your day for doing them. I have seen maybe 70 or so of them and I find your thoughts on how to do thing and the way to do thing very interesting. Nice to see someone still thinks things through before just doooooinnnng.

    One thing I noticed with hauling all of that sand is it's polishing the inside of the haul truck's dump box. Never seen it so shiny.

  • @louisianadirt2188
    @louisianadirt2188 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    That haul truck was one of your best investments ,keeps you moving dirt with wet grounds.
    Stay safe

    Good use of cameras and drone bro, all make for excellent viewing. 77f here in my town at present but we are in summer, could be near 90 next week they say.

    Yeah we are preparing for a flood down here on the MS gulf coast, we use 2” and 3” trash pumps and fire hoses to clean out the mud and sand that washes in, those things can do a lot better job than a pressure washer with the right nozzle, hell we even do the county’s job for them and clean out the culverts with the hoses, takes the stain of that mud off of anything

    Chris, I think you're getting the hang of this editing thing. I feel like I just watched a music video on MTV when you went to the drone. lol

    Next item mounted on Chris's service truck.
    A large heavy duty commercial water pump with a fire hose on a reel with spare extension hose to clean the equipment when he plays in the mud for a week or more 😂😂😂😎
    Or they could build a trailer for it.

  • @markconger8049
    @markconger8049 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not being a dirt worker or heavy eq operator I have come to realize that dirt work is much more a mental skill than operating skill. You have to be able to envision what the end result will be in order for any of the dirt moving to make sense.

  • @keithdunlap2701
    @keithdunlap2701 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing for sure Chris , Ya got some good training working with that "Sand" next time another job like this one comes up !! lolol.... You'll already have somewhat of an idea of how it's gonna play out, cause that one was kinda tricky there !! You guys kicked it right in the ass today !! Have a Great Evening Man !!

  • @tomkeating65

    What do you mean gitterdunnnn by Friday???? It IS Friday!!! Hahaha.
    That job takes patience, that’s for sure! It will be really nice when it is done. Be nice to see what it is like 1 and then 2 years from now.
    I’m sure glad you have the problem of just a little too much work to do, rather than not enough work to do!
    I believe you will get a significant portion, if not all you need, done by Friday just as you say! Thanks for sharing with us!

    I think dry material even in sand with the rain this year is still wet haha. I really enjoy the drone footage mixed in. Where are you getting your copyright free music from. I pay LumaFusion $9.99 a month for what’s supposed to be copyright free music and my last 2 videos have been demonetized because of a song not being copyright free and by the time I can mute it I have lost my revenue on views. So frustrating.

    Really coming together! I'm having trouble seeing how tall the berms are. They look way too short for a rifle range backdrop. I guess it's just perspective, because I think I remember you saying that the back of the range is like 10' to 15' tall.
    Neat stuff!
    Thanks.

      Fish habitat has to be at least that deep.
      Should have an even deeper area with stumps in it for spawning.
      That's so you can use waverunners on it if you want without worrying about hit a stump if you snorkel the waverunner.
