    Welp, here we go...first excavation video I have ever seen with scripture. Real treat. The truth and digging are my two favorite things to consume. If you keep making videos I'll keep watching. I have a small business called Mercy Funding of Oregon. I do excavation, grading and graveling and brush cutting projects to raise money to send kids to summer camp. I was a youth leader for over 20 years and have seen first hand the effects a relationship with God through Christ has on persons and communities. I struggle with the excavation business since I constantly underbid jobs, but I'm learning. Letting things go is crucial for long standing personal relationships, and your word is super encouraging. I live in Oregon and hope to meet you in person some day. Til' then I'll each and learn. Thanks for your generosity and hard work... :-)

      Thank you Jacob and that is very cool that you are funding Summer camp for kids through excavation! Glad you are supporting the channel and enjoying the messages. Letting the past be in the past is a difficult thing but necessary to move forward in Christ!
      Pricing jobs is one of the hardest parts of the job but we get a little better each job we do.
      God Bless and hope you have a blessed New Year…

    It sometimes is a test of our faith to let the past go. It helps to also let those material things go that remind of times and things we want to forget. Really like to listen to your thought process in setting up the jobs you do. God bless you and the messages you bring.

    • @tristardiggin

      Right, the past is the past for a reason, because it’s in the past. We should focus on the now and the future because that’s all we can change. I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!

    Hey Sam, I feel your pain on the Monday blues. Sometimes, it hits me on one of the other days of the week. Lol.
    Nice video and message. You are correct in that the old devil wants to remind of our past and that we aren't worth of God's grace. We all have a past, but God's grace and mercy is what we should focus on. I mess up every day, but as you said, I ask for forgiveness and try my best not to repeat my mistakes, and live the best life I can for the Lord.
    Happy new year and I hope everyone has a great 2024.

    • @tristardiggin

    Hello Tristar, I'm a Jackson, Tn. native living in Tacoma, WA. I'm a 32 diesel technician that's been filling my toy box with construction equipment for the last 3 years. I just discovered your site within the last two months. As I'm reaching pre retirement status I've often thought about just doing some side gigs as my next adventure. I'm loving playing around with the equipment. I just love your site and can't wait to see your posts . Also me being a man of God as well, I receive the message where ever and whenever I can. Keep doing what you do and God Bless.

      Hey thanks for watching and supporting the channel, I appreciate that. Sounds like you have a good plan for retirement. Excavation work is a great stress reliever. Just digging in the dirt will calm a feller down.😀 Glad you are enjoying the messages on the channel. TH-cam is an amazing platform to share the message of Christ!

    • @tristardiggin
      @tristardiggin  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Well that’s cool that you are just up the road in Knoxville! I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. On basements I do a 36” over dig. Just enough to be able to get the 304 in there to dig the footings. I really like the grade control systems in the equipment. For a guy working by himself it is pretty much priceless. You basically set in the machine and dig on grade without getting in and out numerous times or needing someone to run the grade stick. Well worth the investment when you consider its use of the life of the equipment.
      Thanks and have a Blessed New Year…

    Oh and by the way what size is that haul truck I’m looking for one myself for cleaning ponds out. I debated on buying a 540D John Deere skidder and taking the winch and roller fare lead off and putting a dump bed on it and leave the blade on it also to knock dirt piles down to up production between loads . if I don’t find a truck tho

    • @tristardiggin
      @tristardiggin  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Loving the haul truck! It was a great addition to the equipment lineup. It will haul around 10 to 11 yards. Rated to haul 15ton of material which would put gross weight at around 52k pounds.
      Cool idea about the skidder conversion…😀

    It's probably nice to have that little off road truck on the job. It's not often that I've seen them on residential jobs usually just larger stuff like schools. It would have to save you some time and effort trying to spread that dirt around with the dozer. Thanks for the inspirational Bible verses, It's nice to see people who believe in Him succeed! I'm hoping I get some wisdom and some help so I can see the way out of the place I'm in. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
