    You know that most people would have just smoothed that over a little and put some more stone over it. The fact that you took the time to fix it right speaks volumes for your integrity. I had already figured out the kind of man you are and this just reinforces my thinking. I always enjoy your videos Chris so keep doing what your doing.😎🇺🇸🐘

They do make a lot of different types of fabric like natural or synthetic, woven or unwoven, felt, ect... when explaining to people on what it is I just tell them that it's basically like the weed barrier they can get from their lawn and garden department but heavier duty.

    The mark of a great business/tradesman is not whether they make a mistake but how they step up and preemptively fix it if they notice it has gone wrong. The difference between a labourer and a tradesmen is that a tradesman knows how to fix his mistakes. I hate having to go back and rework things I have finished too so I take great pains to make sure it's the best that it can be as I do it. No one can say though that they didn't make a mistake. If they claim it's perfect when it's clearly not then those are the type of people who never learn from their mistakes.

    I used to work in the carpet tufting industry and that material is used on carpet tufting machines for holding tufts. It then goes to a backing plant where expandable foam is added. This make your dirt cheap carpets...
    Using it in this situation is a cheaper alternate to rip-wrap fabric. Works just as well but a fraction of the cost.

    I live in So. Cal. on a cul-de-sac. The city contracted with an asphalt company to remove the asphalt, road base and start from soil. I’m NOT any type of engineer or road building expert but after they got down to the dirt road bed, they took compaction samples, then compacted the dirt, laid base, compacted that, then paved. It has been about 7 years and the asphalt is cracked to the point where all this started. Many years ago, I was watching an asphalt paving job at a hospital I worked at. The inspector was on site and kept telling the man on the roller to slow down. The inspector told me that when you roll hot mix asphalt too fast, the hot mix will swell up in front of the roller drum and cause the mix to have cracks in it. While I was watching them pave my street, I noticed the man on the drum roller “seemed” to be going too fast and leaving the telltale cracks in his wake. Nobody seemed to care and now we have a cul-de-sac street that looks like a freeway map of Los Angeles county with all the cracks in it. Thanks Chris for being a conscientious contractor. Your videos show your character and your customers appreciate your attention to detail. Wish the rest of your industry did the same.👍👌🇺🇸

      ABC Gravel
      ABC gravel typically contains stone that is no larger than 1 to 1.5 inches. Larger stone (3-inch) has more strength
      to support heavy logging equipment. ABC and 3-inch crusher run gravel contain a high percentage of fines
      (gravel dust) that add no more strength to a road than the soil beneath it. In some applications though, the fines
      may help by bonding the stone together, creating a firmer travel surface on loose soil roadbeds.

    When you are running multiple machines yourself....do you leave them running the entire time or do you shut them down if the use delay is ___________? I run into this myself and wonder what should I use to consider time wise with wear-&-tear

      I turn them off if it's going to be more than 5-10 mins from getting back on it

      I was taught if you aren't going to be running it more then 5-10 minutes to turn it off. It saves fuel that way.

    Why is the top rock so grey?
    Does it have a bit of concrete powder mixed in?

      That is the color of the rock in the area they crush.

      It's good that reads so many of his comments but I've never got more than a heart for a reply. I'm sure he don't have time to verbaly answer all of them as many as he gets. There's a revue on Volvo's channel that gives a pretty good history on Chris and his channel.

    Hey Chris, what’s the difference between using the grader & dozer?.

    • @briangardiner1015
      @briangardiner1015 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dozer is for rough grading and knocking down piles of dirt. Graders can knock down piles but are inefficient doing it. Also graders are designed to grade roads.
