i know it might be a bit boring but can we have a sky view tour of the new yard with like overlays of what will be and what you have right now would be intrsting to see it all as we have a macro view on the ground but a nice over view would be cool just to visually see it all
I have noticed how early the lorry drivers come into work and have just heard Daniel say 5am. They're expected to have their trucks loaded and fuelled up the night before so they are ready to go, BUT where can they go at that unearthly hour?? They can't start making a noise at that time of day so can someone tell me? Do they all pile in a nearby cafe for a bacon butty and cuppa tea?
Cemex deliver to Ashville who then hood it in the hopper then deliver to other clients… why don’t cemex just deliver straight to clients missing out Ashville?
Love the part at around 9:00 when Tezza gives Daniel a little shove, as if to say well done. The hard work will be worth the effort!!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Daniel , cover the tanks with a dark paint and prevent sunlight causing the algi growth ot fit a UV light keeping sterile , it works for fish pond filter boxes .
Dark colours attract the heat from the sun which will promote algi growth, if you have ever noticed when we have hot weather dark cars the bodywork gets to hot to touch and white and silver cars aren't.
@thisisashville guys it may be worthwhile purchasing water purification tablets...they kill algae and bacteria for camping etc and once a week drop one in...they should be concrete safe...cheaper than pumps filters and lost work time Also interesting you download once a month for the tacho heads...how often do you download the driver card... would be interested in chatting though this with yourselves..
Once settled in the new yard. A bigger cement storage is recommended for efficiency long term. Save money on cement logistics cost and better operating capacity
everything I hope he change upgrade. better water fuel etc take a tanker and some every time. I'm amazed he didn't think of a crusher hire or buy one as a recycle. hire a crusher rip out old stuff from yard and new yard must be cheaper than buy in. as when he do this there r alot of staff doing nothing. let alone gains new train where the plan for pipes waste etc. soon get loads no hard floors no dains no power ideas. no ur plan but we moved it 100 times. oooo what we need is in storge. hi end cowboys. I say that because quick move fix. to well temp temp temp crap
Who needs top gear when you got a top geezer!! Also I keep hearing Asheville on the news over in the USA. Keeps reminding me of this and how it could be possible to help the lots of people who have been made homeless or lost lives in NC. Looking forward to next weeks episode
Congrats on the first train guys. Looking forward to next week already... 1. To see if the concrete mixer works on Monday 2. To see the Type-1 delivery!
Best Sunday arvo/night routine in Australia.. .. .. .. never keen to go back to work on a Monday but the Ashville video is like a pep talk at half time we all need to get through the week. ! SERIOUS !
Daniel is increadably hard working and inspiring. He leads by example and is always clear and thourough with his staff. A true leader. It's amazing to see what Daniel has built and continues to push forward building his businesses despite constant challanges and set backs. This is what sets people like Daniel apart, his ability to keep pushing through challenges and digging deep to keep going. I hope Daniel builds his dream and wish him every success. Daniel opening up about the challenges he faces was extremely inciteful. One of the best episodes I have watched. Keep going Daniel, never give up and remember they reckon it takes an average of 20 years to become an ovenight success!! 🙃😂
Wow an hour and a quarter,glad the wife had to grand DIY plans for me this morning! Dan take care of yourself, you always fight the good fight and go above and beyond for your staff and company but 16 hours days repetitively will burn Yiu out, your gonna need a break soon. Plus side we'll get Asheville weekly with Tezza!
Hi Dan, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Ive watched Your content for a fair few years now and has been a huge inspiration and played a massive part in pushing me out of my comfort zone. Because of the motivation I got from your content, I finally took the leap, got HGV licence, and have since moved on to full-time employment as a Class 1 driver. The journey hasn't been easy, I've had to fully fund it myself with the rise in cost of living but seeing your experiences and advice really gave me the confidence to go after something I’ve always wanted. You've not only inspired me to make a change that needed to happen but also to embrace the challenges that come with pursuing a new path in life. Thank you for all that you do-keep up the great work, as it’s making a real difference to people like me. Ps when you expanding to scotland give me a shout.. Best regards, Graham
Once the new yard is completed and you have stopped pumping time, money, resources and effort into it your life will be a breeze, you're a man on a mission and a big part of that is just about done and done really well, hats off to you big fella, there's not many people out there that could manage to do what you're doing, enjoy your videos, thanks for letting us tag along.
Daniel , you are doing absolutely fantastic, your getting through work that othe people would run away and bury their heads from, I may have said this before but, I am very proud of you, keep fighting the good fight ❤
One thing that moght be good for cleaning your tanks iv used on the past is a 50:50 mix of water to white vinegar which does a good job of all round cleaning tanks, fuel tanks etc 😀
The true life of an real entrepreneur. Great you show the struggle. The sacrifices are endless. once this push is over take a holiday. then keep at it. You defibetly need a maintenace/facility manager responseble for maintaining the fear. best luck.
You’re one very important member of staff short. Most business are. Those who have a fixer have a lot less problems. The difficulty is finding the right person for the job and not being shy to providing the correct tools for the fixer. Ohh, the pay must be attractive.
your talk on 47:00, i feel you, those situations because of others, can break you... being in the deep and getting out takes mountain of energy,push and is not a happy one.. worse is the endclient take it lightly and don't understand the pressure that creat on people the on the owners of the businesses! we will get out of there! Thanks for sharing, honesty brings ppl furthest
I just love ❤ that now they are longer than 1 hour . This is how I start my Sunday having breakfast and watching Daniel! Keep it going we are behind you 💯!!!
I was just looking at where the visitors come into the yard at the turnstile and thinking the gap from the turnstile to the train what will be there. A bit of concrete could go there so the visitors that come in that way doesn't get mud and dirty on there shoes and it doesn't go all into your nice train when it's in place. Keep up the good work tho Daniel. Amazing guy to watch on my Sunday morning.
Daniel, I look forward to your weekly episodes every Sunday morning, I greatly appreciate your content and you sharing the journey of your dreams, success and challenges of your dream. keep up the good fight! Steve
Being an entrepreneur, I've learned so much from this dude. Real talk, man. I appreciate how he goes about doing business, with decency and excellence. Top Notch Cat right here 1000% 🎉🎉🎉 I'll give you your roses now, my guy. Cheers! Maximum Respect brother
Why is this not on mainstream tv ,sending all the best from Barbados Daniel it’s just magic watching your episodes thank you to all otyou team and staff 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⛳️⛳️⛳️
Despite being unrelated content this channel is and has always been on of the biggest inspirations for starting my own one! Hoping that staying transparent and authentic will help us grow but never expecting numbers like these, you’re smashing it mate.
Your on the homeward stretch now Daniel keep on keeping on I can't wait to see a stand-alone video of the first train being unloaded this is where you can close some of your money back now that you have invested
Daniel, as a young Auzzie business owner, I really appreciate you sharing the reality of how tough the grind can be. I often feel the pressure working 15-hour days, but watching you reminds me that there’s always more fuel in the tank. Dragons fly higher in headwinds-soon enough, you’ll be looking down on O’Donovan from above.
I can see that waterlogged 6f5 area becoming an absolute nightmare, with heavy trucks turning over winter. and you having the whole lot out and concreting it before long Moist, compacted 6f5 has only ever caused me issues in the past and my eye was twitching watching all that work go into it man
I don't comment a lot, but I watch every episode. ❤ My kids and wife know all about Asheville and the theme entry. Sunday is Asheville watching day in my home.
When Daniel was waiting for the GB Railfreight Train to arrive and said, ''This is a big thing after saying the train was 3 minutes late and giving all the reasons why it was a big thing', I paused the video and escaped the Full Screen and clicked the Like Button. Keep Pushing Guys, Forward for the Glory of Ashville. Hopefully, you can push the business to do international works, like in Dubai and all that sort.
Daniel, i started watching your videos thinking all you did was moan. I was wrong you are an absolute warrior and deserve all the success that you are having. Keeping all those plates spinning is something not many people would be able to do, obviously you have a quality team behind you but you stay intouch with all parts of your business. Awesome.
Good on you Daniel. I respect what you are striving for. Truth be told I had a little emptoianl moment for you when the loco came and went. All good things. Thank you for sharing and for your channel. Its appreciated my end, if this helps? Sending love sir!
38:52 daniel check out key traka there a electronic key cabinet and basically you set up users and what keys they are allowed and every key movement is tracked and can export log to USB in case one does go missing pricey but worth it we use them in the set up of engineer workshops and is a game changer
Wow the locomotive 🚂 arriving for the first time on the new track and yard is very special. Such a lovely feeling. I love being local to Ashville, always puts a :) on my face when I see the fleet. Plenty of Trains carrying material to come in the future 💪🏼 (when I see Terry driving he reminds me of Penfold - I think that’s the name of the little dude in Danger Mouse, top lad is Terry :)).
Algae in tank is because your tanks are white, and allow sunlight through to allow algea to form. Put a cover over the tank to stop the sunlight getting to the water, and your problem will be solved, or at least made better
You and your team are all doing a fantastic job Dan in such challenging time. When things settle down in the new yard? Your look back and think just how you made it through. But you will. God bless.
Great video Daniel, suggestion for the pedestrian walkway how about some raised flower beds surrounded by decorative slate from your stock, you could do the same next to the rail carriage when placed.
Alge/blockage issue! A suggestion for the removal of algea and cleaning of pipes might be Hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach, this has a much more penetrating and oxidising effect than bleach and is also cheap! Secondly, the water tank you showed with alge build up (and others no doubt) are light permeable and so give rise to algea growth, a simple solution would be to paint the exteriors with black paint etc, that does not allow light to enter and algea to grow, that or a cover of some sort to exclude the light! Just a couple of thoughts that may help, or be cast aside as the ramblings of a madman! Haha! Keep up the brilliant work Daniel and crew!
That pedestrian walkway looks properly bland and a good space. Thought about chucking down some topsoil/raised beds on the side and some wildflower seed or something to greet people on their way in? I'm sure you've got some salvaged material somewhere.
On the way to work on this Sunday morning, building my construction business with the same 7 days a week grind. 99% of my circle thinks i'm mad! You're a great inspiration Daniel! Thank you!
You have NAILED the timings. I know you have a big part to play, but your video team need some big recognition. The pace, the flow and the in depth content and the balance of each subject is really well paced. Your viewers are not just people watching, we are ALL rooting for you and want you to do well and as someone who's watched you since the beginning, you look tired! But this is a HUGE underdog story batteling with finance etc, and I think this really helps likability. I know for you its real life, but it really does add to the emotional connection your viewers have with you and the business. Although life and business are the same thing for you, please find the joy where you can as my take away from this video is the word PRESSURE. From a fellow creative, keep smashing it and inspiring others. Omar Fahmi - CD Virgin Media O2 Business.
Daniel you're a micro manager , most expensive yard supervisor in history If Terry leaves your in Sh*t because your in the yard and not in the office Basically off load some of your work to a trusted person for the yard work, give then a daily task sheet employ a mechanical guy who can look after the vehicles and plant you have on site and on lease, could be the same guy Do you visit long term lease machines make sure they are in good shape , no surprises when they return from lease. Your health is more important, the grave yard is full of micro managers that thought they were indispensable you think your running a sprint , no your actually running a marathon Best of luck
Been in business for years, built multiple companies within said business, gets a new property that he's working on making the way he wants, films a small part of his days during the week to show on youtube, im pretty sure he's doing fine. Just cause what people see him film, he wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't doing things correct.
@@builtbymeI get your sentiment, but if you think he won't always be thinking of how to improve his life and his businesses that isn't how he's got where he has. Not saying that OP is right on this, but it would certainly free up some of his time for more forward thinking. Likewise thinking that Terry will never leave... One should always have a succession plan in place and I would imagine Daniel will have a plan already in place for that day.
@alexpeartree2019 he's well ahead of the game. People need to stop thinking what's shown on youtube is what's actually going on. These videos are already 2 weeks behind. You literally see maybe 10 to 30 mins out of each day for 6 days. That's 3 hours out of at least 60 hours a week based on a 12 hour day. With at least 5 companies under one umbrella that were all built from the ground up many years ago, im gonna say confidently that he isn't micro managing anything, he has delegated what needs to be, and is always steps ahead. It's youtube, take it for what it is. You definitely won't ever see every hour of the day in a video.
Daniel, I recentley installed a 1000ltr water tank for water storage in my garden. I was told by the supplier to buy a black tank, because black tanks don't allow algae to form, and clear tanks do. So may have black tanks on the concrete trucks, and in the mean time paint them black.
Man this is a good video I love it so much info and I can see the pain on your face with owning a business these days I salute you Daniel you are married to your company …No wonder you have no life you sleep about 4 hours of sleep cheers mate ,You are a Legend 🙏❤️👍👍👑💰😃🇬🇧🇦🇺🦘🗝️✝️
I agree with your Sharing on the Thursday segment, Mate; it's been the same for me here in the States. It has definitely been one of those years. Chin up, Shoulders Back, and we go again.
Is it just me or is anyone else waiting for the new boards to be installed on Ben’s flat bed? I remember episodes ago how excited Daniel was receiving the new boards! Never saw them get installed?
Daniel with all the work your team has been putting in with you there is doubts that you should do something very special for them this Christmas at least a company dinner
It was good to see the trains return in stead, now this should help you make that bread! I enjoy watching progress in the yard, just hope the dent is not too great on the Mastercard!
I really admire your honesty regarding the challenges you are facing. I wish you all the best and IF you ever have a Sunday afternoon when the sun is shining, I have a 71/4" private passenger carrying railway. 2.8 circuits is 1 mile. Diesel or electric, not steam. If you are interested in any way.
Another great video the yard is really coming together. You and your team have done so much already to the new yard. Keep up the good work. This is my new channel as I’ve had a new phone and unfortunately lost my old TH-cam channel won’t let me bk on it so had to set another one up.
i know it might be a bit boring but can we have a sky view tour of the new yard with like overlays of what will be and what you have right now would be intrsting to see it all as we have a macro view on the ground but a nice over view would be cool just to visually see it all
I’d love that too
Excellent idea
It's already been done in a previous episode, can't remember which.
Yes pls., i still feel quite confused what is where 👍🏻
I have noticed how early the lorry drivers come into work and have just heard Daniel say 5am. They're expected to have their trucks loaded and fuelled up the night before so they are ready to go, BUT where can they go at that unearthly hour?? They can't start making a noise at that time of day so can someone tell me? Do they all pile in a nearby cafe for a bacon butty and cuppa tea?
It used to be about Sunday evenings at 8 to catch Top Gear. All about Sunday mornings now
Fully back this!!!!
Don't make me cry Chris! Still trying to get over not having those three on TV together 🤣
Sunday night 8 pm for me. love it
Ditto
Cemex deliver to Ashville who then hood it in the hopper then deliver to other clients… why don’t cemex just deliver straight to clients missing out Ashville?
Love the part at around 9:00 when Tezza gives Daniel a little shove, as if to say well done. The hard work will be worth the effort!!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Daniel , cover the tanks with a dark paint and prevent sunlight causing the algi growth ot fit a UV light keeping sterile , it works for fish pond filter boxes .
We will notify Daniel and the team. Thanks for the suggestion. 🙏
Dark colours attract the heat from the sun which will promote algi growth, if you have ever noticed when we have hot weather dark cars the bodywork gets to hot to touch and white and silver cars aren't.
@thisisashville guys it may be worthwhile purchasing water purification tablets...they kill algae and bacteria for camping etc and once a week drop one in...they should be concrete safe...cheaper than pumps filters and lost work time
Also interesting you download once a month for the tacho heads...how often do you download the driver card... would be interested in chatting though this with yourselves..
@thisisashville look into Biocide as a water additive. We use it in beer coolers in pubs. Added periodically it helps massively.
Thanks!
Thanks
A tiny help towards a new engine. You’re a true inspiration of hard work.
Once settled in the new yard. A bigger cement storage is recommended for efficiency long term. Save money on cement logistics cost and better operating capacity
everything I hope he change upgrade. better water fuel etc take a tanker and some every time. I'm amazed he didn't think of a crusher hire or buy one as a recycle. hire a crusher rip out old stuff from yard and new yard must be cheaper than buy in. as when he do this there r alot of staff doing nothing. let alone gains new train where the plan for pipes waste etc. soon get loads no hard floors no dains no power ideas. no ur plan but we moved it 100 times. oooo what we need is in storge. hi end cowboys. I say that because quick move fix. to well temp temp temp crap
Who needs top gear when you got a top geezer!! Also I keep hearing Asheville on the news over in the USA. Keeps reminding me of this and how it could be possible to help the lots of people who have been made homeless or lost lives in NC. Looking forward to next weeks episode
That moment at 9:21 was beautiful. Great to see the hard work paying off!
Congrats on the first train guys. Looking forward to next week already... 1. To see if the concrete mixer works on Monday 2. To see the Type-1 delivery!
Best Sunday arvo/night routine in Australia.. .. .. .. never keen to go back to work on a Monday but the Ashville video is like a pep talk at half time we all need to get through the week.
! SERIOUS !
👊
let's goo best sunday morning routine
Afternoon for me but I love it let’s gooooo

Strong coffee, fruit, pancakes, skyr protein yogurt, Ashville, RITUAL!
Ashville is Sunday night after dinner viewing here in Australia, perfect 👍🏼
Can't believe it's been 5 years since the LH60 arrived in the yard, where does the time go 👀👍👍
Daniel is increadably hard working and inspiring. He leads by example and is always clear and thourough with his staff. A true leader. It's amazing to see what Daniel has built and continues to push forward building his businesses despite constant challanges and set backs. This is what sets people like Daniel apart, his ability to keep pushing through challenges and digging deep to keep going. I hope Daniel builds his dream and wish him every success. Daniel opening up about the challenges he faces was extremely inciteful. One of the best episodes I have watched. Keep going Daniel, never give up and remember they reckon it takes an average of 20 years to become an ovenight success!! 🙃😂
Wow an hour and a quarter,glad the wife had to grand DIY plans for me this morning!
Dan take care of yourself, you always fight the good fight and go above and beyond for your staff and company but 16 hours days repetitively will burn Yiu out, your gonna need a break soon.
Plus side we'll get Asheville weekly with Tezza!
Good morning, Ashville family, zambia is in the building 👷♂️ 💪🏼. 🇿🇲
Hi Dan,
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Ive watched Your content for a fair few years now and has been a huge inspiration and played a massive part in pushing me out of my comfort zone. Because of the motivation I got from your content, I finally took the leap, got HGV licence, and have since moved on to full-time employment as a Class 1 driver.
The journey hasn't been easy, I've had to fully fund it myself with the rise in cost of living but seeing your experiences and advice really gave me the confidence to go after something I’ve always wanted. You've not only inspired me to make a change that needed to happen but also to embrace the challenges that come with pursuing a new path in life.
Thank you for all that you do-keep up the great work, as it’s making a real difference to people like me.
Ps when you expanding to scotland give me a shout..
Best regards,
Graham
HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Once the new yard is completed and you have stopped pumping time, money, resources and effort into it your life will be a breeze, you're a man on a mission and a big part of that is just about done and done really well, hats off to you big fella, there's not many people out there that could manage to do what you're doing, enjoy your videos, thanks for letting us tag along.
It’s Sunday morning……. I’m in the lounge…… already nearly 5000 views in 20 minutes. Keep up the good work Daniel
I read this in Daniel’s voice
Thank you for answering my question 11:29, fantastic explanation:)
Daniel, appreciate you sharing, this is one of the best channels on YT.
Daniel , you are doing absolutely fantastic, your getting through work that othe people would run away and bury their heads from, I may have said this before but, I am very proud of you, keep fighting the good fight ❤

well done all at Ashville. a milestone. train in yard. well done everyone

Despite being unrelated content this channel is and has always been on of the biggest inspirations for starting my own one!
Hoping that staying transparent and authentic will help us grow but never expecting numbers like these, you’re smashing it mate.
Boy oh boy you're busy but still managing to put out brilliant videos for us. Thank you so much. Best of luck getting the yard ready and profitable ❤
Your on the homeward stretch now Daniel keep on keeping on I can't wait to see a stand-alone video of the first train being unloaded this is where you can close some of your money back now that you have invested
Been told, those rail tracks cut into small sections, make wonderful ANVILS ! Just a thought, Ashville Anvils !😊😊
New yard is going to be so sick when it’s all up and running 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The way dan talks about health at around 47:00, hope there's no health complications dan, if there are ill be praying for you and the team 🙏
daniel its amazing what you have achieved with your business, very proud of you mate👍
we need long videos like these, thanks man, keep it at 1 hour and more few mins
Hi, the videos will always be as long as the content allows them to be. Sometimes it will be short and sometimes it will be longer. 👊❤️
9:00 - 11:00 im not crying, you are!!
Daniel, as a young Auzzie business owner, I really appreciate you sharing the reality of how tough the grind can be. I often feel the pressure working 15-hour days, but watching you reminds me that there’s always more fuel in the tank.

Keep your head up Dan, all we can do is move forward and upward. Cant stop, wont stop.
it would benefit your fleet to be doing consistent oil and coolant samples on a regular basis to catch issues before they arise
11:26 thank you for answering my question. I had no Idea that the bottom looked like that. makes sense.
Good on you Daniel. I respect what you are striving for. Truth be told I had a little emptoianl moment for you when the loco came and went. All good things. Thank you for sharing and for your channel. Its appreciated my end, if this helps? Sending love sir!
38:52 daniel check out key traka there a electronic key cabinet and basically you set up users and what keys they are allowed and every key movement is tracked and can export log to USB in case one does go missing pricey but worth it we use them in the set up of engineer workshops and is a game changer

😂👊🙏
Monumental Danial ... light at the end of the tunnel 😎
You and your team are all doing a fantastic job Dan in such challenging time. When things settle down in the new yard? Your look back and think just how you made it through. But you will. God bless.
Great video Daniel, suggestion for the pedestrian walkway how about some raised flower beds surrounded by decorative slate from your stock, you could do the same next to the rail carriage when placed.
When that train came in, just wanted to give give you a massive high 5, bloody brilliant. 👍
👊
Paul Christie is a great fitter! And a great bloke. Worked with me at Land Recovery years ago!
Really enjoying your videos keep up the great work
Wow, it's not often you come across a good boss, it's even rarer you come across a great one!
Alge/blockage issue!
A suggestion for the removal of algea and cleaning of pipes might be Hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach, this has a much more penetrating and oxidising effect than bleach and is also cheap!

Keep up the brilliant work Daniel and crew!
I love sundays, its all about work, getting back gor breakfast, cuppa tea and Asheville ❤
Loving the 1 hour plus videos on a Sunday 😅
Awesome how big these locos are. Astonished every time. Like them. 😉😁
Need to get the 'pool guy' out to clean them tanks.... give u advice on algi control
Well done Team! One step at a time!
Man's gotta way with words, those intro's are awesome.
👊
Best Sunday youtube channel its ASHVILLE!!!
That pedestrian walkway looks properly bland and a good space. Thought about chucking down some topsoil/raised beds on the side and some wildflower seed or something to greet people on their way in? I'm sure you've got some salvaged material somewhere.
On the way to work on this Sunday morning, building my construction business with the same 7 days a week grind. 99% of my circle thinks i'm mad!
You're a great inspiration Daniel!
Thank you!
Keep up the positive mindset Dan!
Loving these hour plus videos. Just right for a Sunday morning
You have NAILED the timings. I know you have a big part to play, but your video team need some big recognition. The pace, the flow and the in depth content and the balance of each subject is really well paced. Your viewers are not just people watching, we are ALL rooting for you and want you to do well and as someone who's watched you since the beginning, you look tired! But this is a HUGE underdog story batteling with finance etc, and I think this really helps likability. I know for you its real life, but it really does add to the emotional connection your viewers have with you and the business. Although life and business are the same thing for you, please find the joy where you can as my take away from this video is the word PRESSURE. From a fellow creative, keep smashing it and inspiring others. Omar Fahmi - CD Virgin Media O2 Business.
Daniel you're a micro manager , most expensive yard supervisor in history
If Terry leaves your in Sh*t because your in the yard and not in the office
Basically off load some of your work to a trusted person for the yard work, give then a daily task sheet employ a mechanical guy who can look after the vehicles and plant you have on site and on lease, could be the same guy
Do you visit long term lease machines make sure they are in good shape , no surprises when they return from lease.
Your health is more important, the grave yard is full of micro managers that thought they were indispensable
you think your running a sprint ,
no your actually running a marathon
Best of luck
Been in business for years, built multiple companies within said business, gets a new property that he's working on making the way he wants, films a small part of his days during the week to show on youtube, im pretty sure he's doing fine. Just cause what people see him film, he wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't doing things correct.
Terry wont leave, daniel pays him alot
@@builtbymeI get your sentiment, but if you think he won't always be thinking of how to improve his life and his businesses that isn't how he's got where he has. Not saying that OP is right on this, but it would certainly free up some of his time for more forward thinking. Likewise thinking that Terry will never leave... One should always have a succession plan in place and I would imagine Daniel will have a plan already in place for that day.
@alexpeartree2019 he's well ahead of the game. People need to stop thinking what's shown on youtube is what's actually going on. These videos are already 2 weeks behind. You literally see maybe 10 to 30 mins out of each day for 6 days. That's 3 hours out of at least 60 hours a week based on a 12 hour day. With at least 5 companies under one umbrella that were all built from the ground up many years ago, im gonna say confidently that he isn't micro managing anything, he has delegated what needs to be, and is always steps ahead. It's youtube, take it for what it is. You definitely won't ever see every hour of the day in a video.
You have a good point, but He is probably in the yard for the content. No one wants to see 1 hour ashville weekly of him in the office.
Well done Daniel, good to see the train in the new yard,
Daniel, I recentley installed a 1000ltr water tank for water storage in my garden. I was told by the supplier to buy a black tank, because black tanks don't allow algae to form, and clear tanks do. So may have black tanks on the concrete trucks, and in the mean time paint them black.
Best headline ever
Always look forward to 8pm Sunday night here in NZ, nice to unwind with some Ashville weekly before the working week starts again.
Man this is a good video I love it so much info and I can see the pain on your face with owning a business these days I salute you Daniel you are married to your company …No wonder you have no life you sleep about 4 hours of sleep cheers mate ,You are a Legend 🙏❤️👍👍👑💰😃🇬🇧🇦🇺🦘🗝️✝️
Keep going Daniel Your work ethic is great it is I long road but you are in the right way keep on truckink
I agree with your Sharing on the Thursday segment, Mate; it's been the same for me here in the States. It has definitely been one of those years. Chin up, Shoulders Back, and we go again.
Is it just me or is anyone else waiting for the new boards to be installed on Ben’s flat bed? I remember episodes ago how excited Daniel was receiving the new boards! Never saw them get installed?
morning Daniel and watching crew
Daniel with all the work your team has been putting in with you there is doubts that you should do something very special for them this Christmas at least a company dinner
🎉 Well done Ashville! Great achievements.
This is just magic 👌🏼 on to the next steps and the first “we have a train in the yard, let’s get it off loaded “😉
😎🙌
The resilience, remarkable! You shoudl give a university class on on it for business students. Bravo!
It was good to see the trains return in stead, now this should help you make that bread! I enjoy watching progress in the yard, just hope the dent is not too great on the Mastercard!
I really admire your honesty regarding the challenges you are facing. I wish you all the best and IF you ever have a Sunday afternoon when the sun is shining, I have a 71/4" private passenger carrying railway. 2.8 circuits is 1 mile. Diesel or electric, not steam. If you are interested in any way.
Train in the yard was, oh so smooth! I thought it was floating.
😎
Daniel with his poerty 👍🏾, all it needs now is a beat 😁....
Think about a grader for your yard Daniel. We used one and it gets everything lovely and level. Then compact. ❤❤
Always get there, no matter the challenges
Yard is looking great Daniel, take care of yourself during the process 😁
Another great video the yard is really coming together. You and your team have done so much already to the new yard. Keep up the good work. This is my new channel as I’ve had a new phone and unfortunately lost my old TH-cam channel won’t let me bk on it so had to set another one up.
Get your lorries out on road planings, get some loads in for your yard, goes down great for a brilliant car park etc.
