God Bless You Charlie and your crew,,and your patient daughter, a hard work she has your back.😊😊😊

[@johndeere5494]

Thank you for shared. Your busy, but hell we appreciate it.

[@KApfunk]

If he's testing that material and the material has gotten rockier or whatever, and he's using the same proctor than it will be off. Tell that dude to run a one point on it 😅

[@gordontew7149]

You the MAN Charlie--tough as nails…smooth as silk. Appreciate your videos.

[@joshrountree]

Every time I watch one of these reclaimer videos I think to myself "that's just a big ass garden tiller" lol

[@Sucybor]

man, charlie, whenever i see what you do i feel like im being lazy. and i also enjoy my industry 40 h work week.

[@copperheadmarine]

Don't feel like that, it's nice to actually have time for friends, family and yourself .

[@ohhpaul7364]

Sorry that the ground isn't being more accommodating to you up there around Staunton. We call it Stan-ton, btw. oh yeah, stuart's draft, close enough. Best of luck getting it done. safe travels.

[@ke6gwf]

The beginning was hilarious! I have worked with rock wheel trenches, so I understand the pain of those wear items, though you have about 50 times as many... Lol

[@timkelley8775]

You know what Charlie. It’s not easy being you. Just saying. Have a great day

[@arthurlapp9818]

I worked for a company we had 10 reclaimers, we got teeth and holders by the pallet full, we did mostly asphalt reclamation, we found Kenmetal made good products, we got Sadvik one time and the were great but too expensive, we had 2 spare drums we had in rotating racks for rebuilds, we rebuilt the hoods and also replaced them with new ones

[@jimhanifer1177]

It sounds like you're milling asphalt up there sure is a lot of Rock really enjoy your videos very educational 🇺🇸

[@tpep1693]

Everybody know's your business better than you do, you know. Joy's of construction.

[@mischef18]

Another great video bro. Safe travels form a very very wet NZ

[@jonnooney7102]

Did you have to bid the job to account for all the increased maintenance or is there a rock clause of some sort where you get to add that on top . Just curious as to how that works....I know numbers are top secret.

[@derrickpettit86]

It's crazy how expensive the teeth are for that reclaimer, but what are ya gonna do because it needs them, I would think you most likely put theeth cost in the bid, thanks for sharing Charlie, I really enjoy the videos, thanks for sharing 💪🇺🇲🤙👌✊

[@AllstarVentures]

Wonder who the “big guns” are ? Maybe the “Big deal” Guins …? Let’smix18 ? 🤔

[@cwoodyhvfd]

Good ole Virginia red clay with mountain rock in it. You working in my old home place. Helped build that Little Debbie's over there. Had to blast all that for the footers. Stay warm. That clay will stay wet up there in the winter.

[@copperheadmarine]

You live right round here?

[@cwoodyhvfd]

@@copperheadmarine Not anymore. Live just outside of Tabor City,Nc now.

[@cwoodyhvfd]

Yall real close to 🎯 distribution center.

[@brianmowery8412]

I’m 50 mins north of ya. I have brother in law that lives there near the town. The ground will stay pumpy like that till summer. Then it’s concrete.

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

Maintenance is key and you can’t run past time because those yellow parts $ really add up quick

[@copperheadmarine]

It's cheaper to maintain it than not.

[@eformance]

I know Lime is exothermic, so does putting the lime down cause it to evaporate a bunch of water, or is the lime absorbing and holding onto the water, pulling it from the soil?

[@ke6gwf]

The lime absorbs a lot of moisture obviously, but I have heard him talking about needing to get it finished before it cools down, so it may have some drying from heat aspect as well, though maybe that's just a sign that it's still absorbing moisture. There may also be a chemical aspect to it? Though I think I heard him say that you have to seal it before it gets rained on or it will just absorb more water and get muddy again.

[@eformance]

Wow, that's a really expensive operation to run!

[@handle2033]

Where was the old dillon parachute factory located?

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Charlie !! Sounded like an "OL" Fram commercial ""Pay me now or Pay me later "" as they are controlling the $$$$$ on this job !! $ 9K plus the cost of putting those teeth on !! WOW !! 🤔🙄👀👀👍👍👍👍👍

Enjoy the video

[@asarand]

6 hours coming and 6 hours going, that's 12 hours of driving. You get home just in time to take a shower and go back? I don't see you getting much rest.

[@kylegallardy1894]

I live near kenametal in pa if you ever need anything picked up.

[@kens.3729]

Sounds Like 👍 an Expensive Job replacing the 150+ Teeth on that Machine. Nothing is Cheap when you’re talking about Construction Equipment. 🤪🙏

Is Mt.Carmal the big gun that is coming to help

[@copperheadmarine]

Getting warm.

[@robmatthews7972]

This job seems to be handing you bad luck. I can tell your sarcasm is helping your sanity.

[@BluntedBaboon]

TBH I like working them 6 day, 60 hour weeks. Just something to do really. Money is cool, distractions are better.

[@Rickimusic]

damn rocks sound terrible, Charlie.

[@jeffterhune8573]

Time to make the donuts, lol. ?, do you replace the whole assembly or just the teeth. You know how it is, customer trying to save money instead of just trusting the man that knows, stay safe.

[@Will-ct9ww]

Hi Charlie

[@copperheadmarine]

Hey Will.

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Living out of a suitcase near job sites not fun at all. Months at a time and Waffle house is the closest place to get something to eat.

[@copperheadmarine]

And the only place open when you get done at midnight and start at 5

[@maximush9811]

You lube the machines every morning waffle House lubes you every morning what is the added calcium? Dry flowable to dry that clay
