    Big jobs, small jobs, in-between jobs - film them all and I'll watch them!! Not a huge of the long site seeing tours with the drone, but short relevant drone videos are a helpful aspect. Thanks for your dedication to the channel! So many YT providers fall away after a couple of years. I know it is a hassle to edit the footage, so thanks!

    Long and short jobs are good to watch Shawn. I came up from the basement working on a touring bicycle and sat down to get a drink of water and there was a 15 minute video to watch so that worked out great. That customer didn't have enough top soil to grow grass very well. People think they are saving money when they cut corners but in the end you spend more to correct stuff that wasn't done well.

    Hey Shawn, the smaller jobs are great, too. FYI, I thought the customer was a little crass bringing another guy in to do the patio before he discussed it with you. Mainly because he asked you to bid it. I guess you hafta take the good with the bad when dealing with certain customers in that you still get part of the job to make money. Thanks Shawn. Enjoy as always. Keep em comin, small or long!!

    I would say both types of jobs are great. I appreciate either, as you always have great content regardless. Sometimes you may need small jobs to fill voids in your schedule or to fulfill YT requirements maybe. And, small jobs are things we, as homeowners, like to see as they are often common to our needs. I run a small one man business and most often do little things others may not want to do, so I love seeing these as well. And, as is displayed in THIS episode, small jobs, can affect big or effective changes. Be well Shawn!

    You think the front yard was a DIY disaster?
    No professional groundworks guys would cover a water meter. The guy probably thought he could just get a delivery of top soil and spread it out and seed it.
    There are homeowners who think they can do jobs themselves, but its a Destroy It Yourself disaster.
    These smaller jobs should be included, as your Subs watch every vid you create. Jamie is an excellent camera operator as well.

    For some constructive feedback; I prefer bigger jobs, but you’ve got a good sense for what to film. This being a good example of a simple solution. I also hang out for an after rain “proof” shot. I think the videos could be edited shorter though. I often find myself skipping or fast forwarding the more repetitive parts e.g. shifting bucket after bucket of dirt, I thought this video was good in that regard.
    Keep that water flowing! 😊

    13:51 "Obviously I didn't need two dump trucks up there". That became immediately apparent to me when the revised scope was revealed.

But I guess having a willing extra pair of hands on just about any job is better than working solo ?

    couple of questions, LOL
    1. does this experience change your process at all, inasmuch as maybe scouting out the location of the water meter before starting a grading job?
    2. do you still allow customers, wanting to save money, to seed/straw themselves, given that this example ultimately failed and leaves a bad look on what is still one of your jobs?

    If he would have talked to you about the patio you would have put pvc drains in the concrete and worked with your gutter guy. Plus the slope and grade would have been right.
    There's a book out there for this. Common sense. From the 1890's.

    I agree the back patio slab is too high, IMO you want them to have a step down to allow the rainwater to bounce about 6 inches off the ground & not spatter all over the door-jams. I also question if that home is Floodplain where they need permits for slabs filing in areas that water is suppose to be stored during the flood events. I also don't like that they are going up & increasing the slope of the backyard, I forget the legal limit but I think it's 45 degree slopes in most county drainage manuals or you need safety railings for injury insurance liability issues. I'd also not that if the concrete guy buried organic debris & deconstruction debris larger than 3 inches in size then he created rodent habitat under that slab, if he did then all his work might be taller b/c of how much domestic-waste is under what he does.
    I am not in business but I don't work with homeowners like that, not for money & not for free. IMO that culture comes from bad/outdated relator advice from what I have seen in my area.

    I would not be going back to that job for future work. All jobs are post worthy!

    Was mudjacking the sidewalk not an option? Or would that be more expensive?

    I think you should have been given the patio job!

    Must be tempting to tell customer the back patio should have been poured a foot lower and you want no part of a job you can't guarantee.

      Yes I mentioned that I would have dropped it down, but I don't want the homeowner to feel too bad. It's a thin line...

    The GoPro lens makes it hard to visualise the slope (it looks like the road is higher than the house in parts). But yeah , great fix

      I know the gopro doesn't do slope any justice. I make some mountain biking videos and same thing...

    It's Jobs like this that make me wonder why the Cable and Internet Companies aren't held to the same standards as all other Utilities that are required to bury their lines/pipes deep enough to protect them from surface grading work like this...
    Everyone else has to stick their lines/pipes 18 inches or more below the surface so why are the Cable/Internet Companies allowed to stick their lines 2-4 inches below the surface?
