Thank you for the compilation video on the road building. I don’t think one gets the scope of a project until you can see the compilation. Every big project needs a compilation video for your own library but also for your viewers. These videos do not come together in 5 minutes. It must take hours to do this. We are so used to you building some big project and making a mini movie every week that the viewers have become a little greedy for content. In a way it is a huge compliment that you are that good. I have watched your camper video and your tiny house video a few times marveling at what you accomplish. ❤️
No one would ever know the struggles you guys went through building this road after watching this video, yet for us who fallowed the build week after week we can look back and say what a great accomplishment you made. Your self built million dollar road deserves a commemorative detication sign. Its truely a phenomenal job, many thanks to all that lent a helping hand in its construction.😊
This is a video for Oliver, when he's 4-5yrs old just play this on loop and it'll keep him busy for hours 😁 That's how my mom kept me busy, she just played bill dance fishing shows on loop and I was 'hooked' lol
Great job with that old dozer. If you’re finished with the road it might not be practical to invest in repairing the transmission in it, but I’m sure many viewers (myself included) would be very curious what’s inside it. A repair would make fascinating content.
You 2 Amaze me!!, Riley never driven a Dozer before, now driving like a Pro!!, Courtney, you have the knack of getting into Any Construction machine, no matter what size and just drive it like a Pro too.!! Good job guys!!
What an achievement. Your talents to bring your dreams into realities are marvelous. Thank you for bringing us along for the adventures. Blessings. Don D
Isn't it incredible - what you can achieve - and what you can learn to do?? Of course, one (or two) have to have Immense Balls of Steel - and you (both) do!! What you have accomplished at your homestead - and on your channel - and of course - achieved the pinnacle with bringing Oliver into the world - is truly inspiring. Congratulations to you both!
Oddly soothing and relaxing even knowing how many things didn't go as planned during your road building project but you guys just powered through with a can do attitude and fixed the set backs, one at a time. That's the sign of progress and greatness in the making. Keep up the great work you two!
It was nice to see you hydro seed your roadway cuts in previous video. It will reduce the erosion and decrease the amount of future work you will need to do on your road. I really enjoy your channel and your content.
I was going to be negative and say something about old content, but really after watching this I think it was one of the better videos y’all have posted. Well done!
Little by little, bits by bits. Really sums it up. That song will always remind me of you guys when I hear it. Extremely well put together video. Gives a very good perspective of the work that was done to build that road and with no experience to top it off. Congratulation, this was not an easy task. And you got to spend the summer with your friends. You guys rock.
It's unbelievable the amount of work that was put into building your road. The final test is winter, and snow. Shoukd it withstand it, of which I know it will, you guys must be certified, road constructors, period!
Another cool thing about your videos is when you run into a problem and how you troubleshoot, then comments and help from professional operators come in. Pretty cool insight, and actually builds my confidence in trying new things. Safe building!
The massive scale of that project is overwhelming! What a feat of accomplishment!! It looks amazing!! What an amazing transformation!! So incredibly impressive that you were able to power thru, keep plugging away regardless of the setbacks, and git ‘er done!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow I can’t believe the negative remarks. They have the power to fast forward or click off. It’s your channel not theirs. Great to see a summary of such a large project
I really hope you decide to repair the dozer transmission so that Courtney can operate it next spring. The expression on Oliver's face will be priceless when you can give him a ride. Fixing the transmission and how it works would be some interesting videos.
That D8 is going to be a good thing to have around. If you haven't already, start planning fire breaks around the property. That thing will literally be a lifesaver!
Hey neighbor! We’re in sync. Just finished all-Summer road project on my 20-acres. New ditches. New gate. Lots of big boulders that can be used elsewhere on the property. Winter is coming!!!
So just watching this I can smell the fresh earth; the diesel smoke; that warm, oily, greasy, earthy smell of running equipment; and that acrid, almost electric smell of rock breaking...
never realized just how much i needed one of these quiet, heavy equipment, roadbuilding, ASMR videos. Man that was so relaxing and enjoyable. What I think is really cool, is the pride you guys must have in knowing that you guys did everything yourselves. with how well the road turned out. And even if there is something that's not perfect down the road (pun intended) when muddy season comes around, you guys have the equipment, and skills necessary to fix it. SUPER awesome.
Love this bringing it all together. Also wad super pleased when @vanwives showed up last week. Been a long time subscriber of both channels. It was a crossover from heaven.
Thanks so much for sharing this massive undertaking. Civil engineering is huge. No doubt you pair are a fantastic example of the way America is a great place that alot of Americans have forgotten how to do these massive tasks . The world needs to see more of this drive and determination. God bless your family for the future is safe with people like you.
As with any job, it’s all about the tools! Those are awesome tools! Even the 8 wheeler! That old D8 is amazing. Bob the builder’s got nothing on you all!!❤️👏🏻👍🏻
Maybe put up some type of flexable (so they bend when you hit them) poles on each side of the road to know extactly where you are when the snow gets DEEP.
That old dozer is a caterpillar model 68A, it was my first machine back in 1977. Even in minus 40 that thing would always start because of the pup motor. By the way guys, when you’re dealing with rock, half throttle at best. Otherwise you’ll wreck everything. Never let your tracks spin, push as much as you can without spinning. Enjoy.
Such a huge task that you were able to successfully accomplish. This is a fun video to see what took countless days of work condensed into 10 minutes. Congratulations on a job well done.
Just imigining the forces involved to get a bulldozer that weighs nearly as much as a fully loaded semi truck to spin its tracks while pushing earth and rock down a steep incline is mind boggling 😅
I remember that sound of the dozer from my childhood in 1971 when an army of D9s and Euclid dump trucks descended on our town to extend the Trans Canada highway (Hwy#1) from Vancouver to the Ferry terminal in Horseshoe bay, nothing but Cats ,Blasting horns and our house shaking.......ah the good old days
I’m very impressed with your heavy equipment operating skills considering you started this project just a few months ago. That D8 is perfect for that road project. God bless your little family.
Looking back at it like this, what a massive project. End result looks great, well done! Definitely looking forward to seeing how it holds up this winter and what spring looks like.
The road will never be "done" but I think Riley is actually happy about that (it means more equipment in his future). We'll circle back next spring to address any drainage/grading issues.
@@AmbitionStrikeswe found that sections of our road held up fine , but some areas took years to settle and needed more material , the neighbor with his Cat-14 Roadgrader was a amazing help , not only maintaining the road surface but ditching and sloping cuts , he did it all . 👍🇨🇦
🔥ENTIRE Road Building Series: th-cam.com/video/RwzGymZ5lrs/w-d-xo.html
These shots bring home just how HUGE the project was, and how STEEP that grade had been. You guys are amazing
We are relieved the project is over, but Riley is already scheming up the next one!
@@AmbitionStrikes there is a whole mountain to move 🤣
@@AmbitionStrikes I'm betting it's a water slide from the deck down to the bottom of the road.
Heavy equipment getting the job done and no talking…. What more can a man ask for?
How peaceful.

Sometimes it's fun to mix things up and try something new. This certainly won't be our content every week, but it was a fun editing challenge!
You two rock (literally).
@@AmbitionStrikes do you still have the caterpillar D8?
No one would ever know the struggles you guys went through building this road after watching this video, yet for us who fallowed the build week after week we can look back and say what a great accomplishment you made.

Best video ever! Been doing this for almost 40 years, never gets old.
Music to my ears!
You have what it takes to easily do this every day.
Great job with that old dozer. If you’re finished with the road it might not be practical to invest in repairing the transmission in it, but I’m sure many viewers (myself included) would be very curious what’s inside it. A repair would make fascinating content.
We are still very torn on whether or not to fix the dozer. Riley is equally as curious as what's going on inside the transmission.
@@AmbitionStrikesgo for it as a nice winter project in your workshop … will be able to do nothing else when it’s parked in there 🤣
@@grahameida7163 When you live in a shouse (Shed/House), you need to be careful of the smells that you bring into the shop.
@@AmbitionStrikesMaybe a collaboration video series with TH-camr Iron King? I think we'd all like to see the inside of that transmission
Or any of the big diesel or heavy equipment channels. Fond memories of our cable blade D8H.
You 2 Amaze me!!, Riley never driven a Dozer before, now driving like a Pro!!, Courtney, you have the knack of getting into Any Construction machine, no matter what size and just drive it like a Pro too.!! Good job guys!!
Had already watched all the previous episodes of the road building. I’d prefer seeing how the new storage area is coming along.
What an achievement. Your talents to bring your dreams into realities are marvelous. Thank you for bringing us along for the adventures. Blessings. Don D
Thank you so much Donald! You’ve been on this entire journey with us, and we really appreciate your continued support!
Isn't it incredible - what you can achieve - and what you can learn to do?? Of course, one (or two) have to have Immense Balls of Steel - and you (both) do!!

Dozer content makes me happy😊
good job everyone!....that was a big job!

So the massive road construction is now completed? Wow! That’s really quite an accomplishment! Congrats on a job well done! 👍
Thanks Steve! There is more long term road work we will be doing, but for now our primary road is complete.
I could sit and watch a couple hours of this
Hope you show us in spring how your road held up
Spring is going to be the real test of the road!

This really puts the enormity of the project into perspective! Thanks guys. Hope the container shop is going well!
We’ve loved watching you kiddos from day one. We will certainly continue!!
It's unbelievable the amount of work that was put into building your road. The final test is winter, and snow. Shoukd it withstand it, of which I know it will, you guys must be certified, road constructors, period!
We are eager to see what happens this winter!
Another cool thing about your videos is when you run into a problem and how you troubleshoot, then comments and help from professional operators come in. Pretty cool insight, and actually builds my confidence in trying new things. Safe building!
I hope you still have this beast. If yes, put some really heavy beams in your new work area and have fun.
This project was incredible. That was A LOT of work to get it done and you both still kept smiling. Whewww!!
I’m 62 years old and still love to watch big machines move big stuff. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
99.999% of the people couldn't have done what you did.
Thanks for taking us along and letting us watch.
Help we pay some on the bills.
TH-cam only has one like button ? You exposed that deficiency !
The massive scale of that project is overwhelming! What a feat of accomplishment!! It looks amazing!! What an amazing transformation!! So incredibly impressive that you were able to power thru, keep plugging away regardless of the setbacks, and git ‘er done!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sometimes we forget how far we've come with this road. It's fun to watch out videos and see just how much work it took to get to this point!
Wow I can’t believe the negative remarks. They have the power to fast forward or click off. It’s your channel not theirs. Great to see a summary of such a large project
The GX certainly looked good in those closing shots. The amount of work that’s gone into making your property accessible is truly impressive.
What a sweet video, a great recap of the summer of 2023.
Great edit!
Thank you! I think listening to bulldozer noises is fun... but Sarah and Courtney might feel differently after spending hours editing this. 🤣 -Riley
I really hope you decide to repair the dozer transmission so that Courtney can operate it next spring. The expression on Oliver's face will be priceless when you can give him a ride. Fixing the transmission and how it works would be some interesting videos.
In this video, I finally see the grade youre working with. Wow.
That D8 is going to be a good thing to have around. If you haven't already, start planning fire breaks around the property. That thing will literally be a lifesaver!
I could fall asleep listening to this 😴 😅
Hey neighbor! We’re in sync. Just finished all-Summer road project on my 20-acres. New ditches. New gate. Lots of big boulders that can be used elsewhere on the property. Winter is coming!!!
Such a MASSIVE undertaking! Good work yall
Nice to see that in a compilation - without all the technical breakdowns while building.
Nice job. Amazing!
Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Sarah and Courtney get the credit for this one. I think it turned out awesome!
Diesel powered Big Iron💪💪!! Truely a thing of beauty❤!!
So just watching this I can smell the fresh earth; the diesel smoke; that warm, oily, greasy, earthy smell of running equipment; and that acrid, almost electric smell of rock breaking...
Something very hypnotic about watching this😊
Like watching Bob The Builder!

Wow talk about moving mountains. What a job well done.
Someone on vacation!
You are so fortunate to have all of that rock on your property and at your disposal… it really made the job more affordable
Fine project and a great accomplishment 😊‼️
Excellent!!! Old yellow metal was what got me here in the first place!
Wow nice job, congratulations 🍾🎉
What a fantastic feet of engineering, the finished article is worthy of the highest praise 👍🏻🏴
Good Morning ☕ 😀🍁🍂
Massive accomplishment 🎊
Great job! That road looks awsome. It now looks like a senic fun and safer place to enjoy.
Love this bringing it all together. Also wad super pleased when @vanwives showed up last week. Been a long time subscriber of both channels. It was a crossover from heaven.
I’m not certain what ASMR means, but this video just relaxes me 😊❤
Thanks so much for sharing this massive undertaking. Civil engineering is huge. No doubt you pair are a fantastic example of the way America is a great place that alot of Americans have forgotten how to do these massive tasks . The world needs to see more of this drive and determination. God bless your family for the future is safe with people like you.
Awesome project!
I'd be interested in knowing a ballpark figure on the cost of that project with fuel costs and equipment rental and repair included.
My favourite one! !!!❤
So much work involved in editing this. Cool to watch. Thank you!
Had to turn the volume up to enjoy the full effect
Another awesome video brother stay strong and God bless you 😂😂😂
You have come a long way Pilgrims :-)
Thats a beast. I bet you can sell it when you're done for more than you paid for it. I love watching you two work together. ❤😂
As with any job, it’s all about the tools! Those are awesome tools! Even the 8 wheeler! That old D8 is amazing. Bob the builder’s got nothing on you all!!❤️👏🏻👍🏻
That look like a lot of fun thank you for sharing.Don and Donna

Thanks for this I never completely understood the scope of the road build. This put me more in the picture. Pictures (video) don't do it justice.
Wow! I enjoyed all of the road build videos. This wrapped it up perfectly. Thank you
Someone is on vacation.
Such a huge task that you were able to successfully accomplish. This is a fun video to see what took countless days of work condensed into 10 minutes. Congratulations on a job well done.
Yep your biggest success yet 😊
I love this video, it’s like my 6th time watching it.
I get the experiment, but I also can't wait for your regular videos to resume.
Was looking at the new shop, IDEA___ remove one of the double doors and pt a garage door on i. Make it easier to get inside
Just imigining the forces involved to get a bulldozer that weighs nearly as much as a fully loaded semi truck to spin its tracks while pushing earth and rock down a steep incline is mind boggling 😅
Oh boy another bulldozer episode. I am riveted! Who knew I would be so fascinated watching Riley move dirt and rocks.
I remember that sound of the dozer from my childhood in 1971 when an army of D9s and Euclid dump trucks descended on our town to extend the Trans Canada highway (Hwy#1) from Vancouver to the Ferry terminal in Horseshoe bay, nothing but Cats ,Blasting horns and our house shaking.......ah the good old days
Now this is my kind of ASMR!
You guys are simply amazing!!!!!!! SO MUCH WORK YOU'VE DONE!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!
The camera work is excellent, very professional kinda like the Subway commercial PRO- FESSIONAL.
Nice one, that was one hell of a project.
Some serious ASMR there!!
It's amazing what a little hard work ... and lots of heavy equipment .... can do.
Love this video!
Best music in a video.....
I’m very impressed with your heavy equipment operating skills considering you started this project just a few months ago. That D8 is perfect for that road project. God bless your little family.
The undertaking of building a new road is nothing short of amazing and the work you both do is fantastic.
Good video, Great job!
Awesome work on the road.
The excavator needs a mud or batter bucket with a tilt attachment for a good job . I did it for years and now retired but truly miss it .
Just an amazing project! Congratulations for finishing it!
Wow, that dozer is massive! I enjoyed today’s video. Thanks for all of your great content!
