Ashes Be Gone And Working On The Road

[@alansmith4734]

Thinking Out Loud: If you dug a large hole, filled it with brush, burned it, placed a foil wrapped wild hog on the burning coals, cover it with dirt. Uncover the wrapped hog the next day, you'd have Pulled Pork Sandwiches for everyone!

Best driveway i have seen in a while. You should keep this as your standard. Nice n wide with options without damage to the road. Utilities on one side and excess run off on the other side. Good Job once again. You are a master Chris.

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Just keeps getting better & better. That pit you dug didn’t seem very big until I saw your excavator and truck next to it. 😄

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Road came out nice, as is all the rest of the property. Great job Chris. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@bullittdog4352]

You’ve said a couple times how secluded this place is but man when the equipment is off you don’t hear a sound, looks like a dream location for some nice houses! I love your daily regiment of tiding up the job site after the heavy work is done , it sure makes a statement if you’re pulling onto your property and the contractor takes time to slick-up the entry area like that..quality work.

[@JD-zm4eh]

When you were loading the truck with dirt from the hole I was listening for the sound of your horn. Then I realized you were working alone. Your a one man crew making the job look easy. Good job.

[@printer1105]

That old dozer is way more machine than I expected from the day you guys started fixing it. Shes a beast for sure. Loud as hell Im sure.

[@ryanhoward1013]

Chris I don't know how you do it but you the best operator ever. That place is going to look beautiful by the time you get done. Your eye for details is spot on. Thanks for sharing this with us

Smart idea, a few loads of dirt, some grading out, and eliminating the need to clean out a ditch forever.

No pond to build on site so instead of digging a ditch he makes the road into a foot high pond dam to create the ditch. Loving It!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Looks like a very nice road. You make any project you work on look great. Can't wait to see the final results. Good job.

Great job as usual Chris !!! Every thing you do on these jobs looks amazing when you get them done !!! 😊

The Master Artist is at work. He works the machines like an extension of hands. It's relaxing to watch. He can see in his mind what needs to be done to make it perfect. And he does it. Even when he is hired to fix mistakes done by other companies. He knows exactly where to go and he fixes it.

[@pauldillinger2286]

Another great job Chris. I need a job like yours so i dont have to deal with so many people. My job is stressing me out so bad. Love what you do brother.

l could watch videos for hours. Thank you, Chris, for doing such a great job.

[@heatherlane9270]

Driveway looks good - skid steer is a nifty machine. Used to clean the ashes out of the open fireplace in our old homestead - oh the dust! Project is coming alone fine.

[@nelsonannett5427]

turning out very nice the girls should really enjoy their land and use. cheers.

[@peadenl]

The haul truck and larger dozer really increases your efficiency in these clearing projects. It would be interesting to use a heavy duty disc harrow on half on a project like this prior to the root raking to measure the reduction in the amount of topsoil that piled up during the raking. When you are doing ponds, it is not a big deal to bury 20% of the topsoil with the roots but if you are using the land for growing anything you want to minimize the loss of topsoil. I think cutting it with a disc would dramatically cut the amount of topsoil lost during the raking.

[@frankmiller5307]

On every job you do more than expected. I admire that.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

For a single worker on site, you get so much work done. Looking really good😊 Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

[@teddycrenshaw223]

I see where the skid steer bucket with teeth is far better than the smooth mouth bucket. I have trouble cutting or trimming small amounts of dirt with the smooth bucket it's either gouging to much or not cutting at all.

[@babsyred9710]

[@garymurt9112]

Might nit be a bad thing to add a brush rack to your root rake. Add it to your rake and give I little forward angle that will allow your rake to still be able to flip up when backing up.

[@michaelmullins1290]

That clod of ashes was like my covers when the alarm goes off!

I bought a Takeuchi TL10v2 92hp a few month's back for the ranch instead of a cab tractor and the skid steer is a beast! Best investment I've made in a year. :) Good job Chris!

[@pinwizz69]

Man, it's incredible how talented Chris is with his equipment and taking that area as it was then turning it into a nice sculpted lot the property owner will be proud to build their homes on. It's not just his years in the seats of his equipment. It truly is a matter of talent and ability.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Man, I sure like how you got both the pick up's, with the level kits on them , Man they sure sit nice !! Whatever day you was out there , you sure got a lot done !! really starting to lay in now, looking good across there now, and the road coming in ....Coming along nice Man !! Knowing you was hating it when that wind changed on ya, and gave ya a nice Big poof !! Of ashes across the 220...lolol... Those ashes suck if there is any wind, cause it's gonna get ya sooner or later !! lolol... Very nice Chris !! Great as always Man !! Have a Great Saturday Night , And, On too the Next !!

[@michaelowen1750]

How long will it take for those roots and junk to compost, absorb the ashes, and become top rate topsoil? And the ground pressure of the D6 is roughly 10 psi.. but that truck is likely 120+ in each tire...

[@letsdig18]

Honestly you could dig it up in 50 years and it will still look the same

[@markpashia7067]

@@letsdig18 Yup, down below the microbes that eat that stuff and break it down. Need moisture and bacteria to see it become soil. Stack it above ground and turn it occasionally and it will get there.

[@michaelowen1750]

Reminds me of well drilling in Maryland, 140 or so feet down you can pull up wood and topsoil... The wood feels like it's not old, but was covered when a meteorite hit the earth, clearing the Chesapeake bay roughly 40,000 yrs ago...

[@robnewell6123]

Amazing how much you can get done as a one-man show Chris. So no concerns about any settling of those pits after pushing in the ash & roots? I know you packed them in well with the dozer and loaded haul truck...and likely doesn't matter much if nothing is being built on them.

[@Todd.Roberts]

I miss that dump truck lol

[@HighFlight2k2]

Will a pit like that cave in somewhat as the roots and branches break down?
