I'm Building an Electrical Easement Road to Get POWER to Our Mountain Property!

[@alvalonline]

It's always amazing what a man and a machine can do. My neighbor said something to me while he was removing some massive stumps from our yard. "A machine is designed to do lot of work for you, but a man that feels his machine can get a lot more out of it than it was designed for." In under 7 hours, he dug up 44 stumps from medium to massive, and had smoothed out all of the holes they left. You remind me of him.

@@alvalonline That is a great saying, I will have to remember it! It sounds like your neighbor is a great operator. Thank you so much for watching!

When you said that the backhoe does a great job that’s true but I think you can pat yourself on the back because the machine is no good without a driver,and you seem to have a good eye for levels,POWER TO THE PEOPLE see you on the next one ATB from Perth 🚜👏👏👏👏👏

@@MikeeonKZbin4 Thanks, I used to be a dozer operator, so I can grade by the seat of my pants fairly well. Thank you so much for watching!

Tiem to rent a wood chipper, some of that brush is too small for firewood and with the danger of fires it would be safer then burning. Keep up the good work, it is fun to watch your progress.

One of our neighbors bought one last year that we may end up renting next year during the dry season. It would be nice to have the wood chips too. Thanks for watching!

Awesome backhoe skill. Good luck on the trenching project looks like it should go well.

[@thehardway406]

Thanks! I started operating equipment when I was 8 years old. It is one of my passions. Thanks for watching!

Looks Great! how far was it from the pole to the transformer pad?

[@thehardway406]

@@1KGoffgridhomestead Thanks, it was 550 feet!

[@chriswright.t3phase857]

I thought the power company would be responsible for bringing the conduit and wire to the transformer?

[@thehardway406]

We are are serviced by a small electrical cooperative. They gave us a credit to purchase the conduit, but otherwise we had to pay for everything. I believe I could have hired them to install the conduit, but that would have been prohibitively expensive. Thank you for watching!
