Thank you for the shout-out for Cody Crouch with lonestardiggin! He has overcome and perservered many obstacles, but he doesn't let it get him down! He amazes me every day, even though I am his mama... Lol. I enjoyed your video, Sam, and the Lords word at the end. Have a great day!

The Hog came through for ya like a champ. Can you imagine trying that when you were using old Anchor? Thanks for sharing the video and the message.

[@johnnyfranklin5213]

Thank you Sam for another awesome message and video. This old TN red clay is awesome for building on, roads and houses, but wow it gets slick when it's packed and wet. That churt you used in the road enterance is called slate rock, and it's hard to dig. The blue slate is impossible to break up, unless you have a hammer on your excavator. God bless brother, and thank you for the prayers a few months back. My hand and ribs have heated, thank God.

[@tristardiggin]

Hey Johnny, glad to hear you have healed up nicely. You are definitely right, it is good stuff but slick as snot! 🤪😀

I enjoy watching normal people doing awesome things , thanks for showing us.

Hey Jiggs, I appreciate that and thanks for watching and supporting the channel. I know what you mean about it being in your blood. I enjoy the work and also watching Mike, Chris and all the other guys on KZbin as well. We definitely want to remember the Lord in all we do… God Bless, Sam

[@dominicfarzetta]

Hey Sam! Great video as always. Love your content and your faith in the Lord. I’m 16 and realizing He is the only thing we got left to fully rely on in life. 😂 😆 Recommendation…once you recoup money from the swing gear maintenance, you should get a quick coupler for the 313. Then you could have a wide grading bucket for moving lots of material. Also you could get a root rake for scraping root mat. Thanks again for your content. Have a great day!

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Dominic, I appreciate that and like what you said about the Lord being the only thing we can fully rely on. A quick couple would be nice to have for sure… God Bless

[@charleswelch249]

You are definitely learning more all the time. First thing I would have done is slim the road then spread a few inches of chirt over the whole thing. It's just going to be a better base for the finished product. Besides you definitely were living right because you didn't wind up upside down in the creek bed.

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Charles! It is definitely a work in progress. Thanks for watching…

[@Dirt_mountain-earthworks]

This job would have been difficult to do without the JCB 714... you got that road looking nice and i appreciate the message thans for spreading God's Word🙏

Yes, it would have been very difficult without the Hog. Probably would have had to haul in dirt from somewhere else to build the road.

Looking good Sam. This looks a lot like the mud and gunk I have to deal with. But people just will not spend the money to do it right like you have.

Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men...just get waylaid, and we have to start over, make new plans, or do over old ones (Hello to the new road). If it matters to you, it matters to God. How your life feels is more important than how it looks. We ask forgiveness for all the bad things we've done and for all the good things we have left undone. May God bless you Sam and keep you safe.

Why could you not build the road from the top down, rather than from the bottom upwards? Fewer trips on slippy surfaces would make it quicker j my mind? But I'm not doing heavy landscaping for a living, so I might be very wrong!
