    With your quality of work, the care you take and your work ethic, things will take care of themselves. Change is inevitable. It's how we react to it that is important. Go with the flow and as you say, keep your eyes open. Looking forward to the next one. 💖🙏🕊

      Man I'm sorry I didn't say much. I wasted all day messing with that skid steer. Pretty sure you're the first person to recognize me from TH-cam.

    I'm with you on raising a house a little bit to keep the water away from it. In a lot of cases that I deal with, if they would come up one more course on the foundation, it would solve most of the water issues. I get it, they don't want to climb a bunch of steps to get into the house, but I'd rather climb one more step than have a water issue under my house.
    I hate to hear that the plant is shutting down and people are losing their job. That sucks! Just put out a video whenever you can, and we will watch it. You gotta do what you gotta do for your family.

      Appreciate you buddy. Yeah I think an extra step is a lot cheaper than water damage lol

    Sad to hear the problem of the plant bro , that is a stressful thing. It' happen to me once and I was lost for a min.
    I 'll never for get one day when I walked into a church and there high on the wall it said " I am the light, the truth, the way"
    Reading that gave me strength . Remember , when one door closes another one opens .
    Hang in there bro, I'll be praying for you.

    Lindsey you have to do what is best for you. I figured that it was just that time of the year when dirt turns to mud. Make that money while you can. It'll probably be June before the ground dries out anyway. Be Safe Out There Buddy

    • @smithworx1091
