Tornado Misses The Jobsite Today But Rain Flooded Me

[@merlepatterson]

There is a positive outcome to a heavy rain while you're trying to work. You can clearly see where your drainage areas need work.

[@RUDOLF1929]

Лучшие работники года🏆🥇🙂👍

[@cenccenc946]

Millions of dollars of earth moving equipment, and he is still draining the road with his boot like a little kid. Just could not resist. 😆 🤣 😂

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Isn’t it nice to have Mother Nature tell you where you need more stone and deeper swales cut!! I’ve always liked going out in the rain and watching it tell me what to fix!

[@shan442us]

I really appreciate when you share what your thinking, calculating and figuring. Most of your audience has never or will ever operate heavy equipment, so please feel free to share as much as you want when you are working away.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Well, at least the heavy rain lets you see the low spots. Poor old snake was probably hiding out from the tornado🌪️ Take care & cheers😊

[@JD-zm4eh]

Like Momma used to say about a freshly waxed floor, stay off the wet red clay road until dried out. Weather sucks when it comes a blowin hard. Stay safe Chris.

[@gardnermiller6820]

Glad the tornado missed you! It is absolutely impressive the way the old D6 cold starts! Enjoy your videos!!

[@kevinmurray7135]

Yup you were bouncing around a little bit there 😎🇺🇸

[@tomswindler64]

I believe there is not too many contractors that can say that they accomplished almost all of this pond build by themselves.digging,grading.building of roads,ditches.great job as always.I’m sure customer will be very happy with the outcome.great video as always,thankfully storm went around you.continue on with your quest in doing what your doing.kudos.👍👍👍😎😎😎🐍🐍🐍

[@randybarber5308]

👍👍👍

[@larrytooley5613]

See Dr

[@Cassia_c]

Tornado was trying to get you to Oz .. the wizard wants a pond, the wicked witch needs new culverts and the yellow brick road needs grading! 😘🌪️

[@cjzx325]

Glad you're safe from that storm. It dumped on us outta nowhere as well. The benefit of those duck drowners while you're on site is you can see your grade work in action and tweak the swells when it dries out if needed.

[@markpashia7067]

Monsoon rain and a major tornado but Chris only gets a short break in his day. Now that is a master plan that really gets the job done. I remember job sites that would shut down for three days over something like this. Keeping those odds and ends on the side so you have something to do keeps the job on track for the win. Looking good Chris. One or two more storms like that and the pond will be full. Water will be getting into it for days as it makes it's way across the property.

[@markpashia7067]

Good thing you were not digging Bealy Good's foundation today. That would have been a mess. The news is only talking about the drug warehouse that got hit. Hope you and those you know were not damaged. I was wondering how close that was to you guys but did not look up on the map yet.

[@scottfortune9016]

That road, meandering thru the field and woods, is a really nice drive leading, eventually, to the new home. A beautiful scenic route to come home every day. Love it!

[@ISOTROPOSPHERE]

Awesome shot of the EF3 tornado Chris, glad you were safe and had a plan.

[@markpashia7067]

I remember a job in Texas where we got in the ditch we were digging under the backhoe while one passed us. About three foot deep and two foot wide. The best we had available. Feet got wet but safer than standing above ground.

[@MichaelHolloway]

When I saw it 'live' I didn't think it was a tornado - too big. Good still of it at 24:46 - 16 mile path. :/

[@donnamullins2089]

Chris you are a hard working man. So glad tornado went around. All equipment up and working in any kind of weather. Good video. Thank you.

[@dougmay8924]

What great success with the water runoff,!!! Workin with Mother Nature,,Your vision for the future is AWSOME AGAIN 😀 Thank You 😊 🙏 ❤️

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I'm really happy you guys are ok. Smart work getting the stone out but mostly that you are safe.

[@moman0166]

Even when it rains you have to deal with the mud of life! Very nice recovery of the days time.

[@aubreychadwickwhite8230]

Bad weather thru Tennessee today, you all be careful and safe. God Bless❤❤❤

[@BealyGood]

We were all puckered up when that storm came thru. I see you’re piling up more topsoil that I need 😊

[@andrewcoil5544]

Your video of the tornado was better than the ones shown on the national news. I'm glad you're safe. I'm praying for those impacted.

[@spencer6764]

It's looking Awesome I'm glad the Toronto went around you I hope no one was injured where it went through. You sure do Awesome work Chris. Take care and God Bless you 🙏

[@onryboy2264]

Glad to hear that you and your family are safe and sound.

[@Mapantz1]

I saw the tornado damage on some news sites over here in the UK. An EF-3 with 150mph winds.. incredible! It looked like a wedge tornado in your video. I always like it when you film any severe weather that hits you. A nightmare for working in, but also makes good viewing.

[@robinlane4939]

So glad your ok. Sending prayers up for those in the path yesterday.

[@twodogsandtheirfamily]

Can't believe you were that close to that EF3 tornado! Had a friend in the Pfizer plant when it got hit, that was no joke.

[@derrickpettit86]

Awesome work Chris, that's one heck of a road, looks sweet, love hearing that d6 grunt when it's pushing, awesome video, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 💪🇺🇲👌🤙✊

[@lmreid100]

Glad to hear you guys are okay then

[@aaronburford5701]

Great camerq view for spreading the gravel! Looks so smooth and fresh road looks good completed. I am a fan!

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

sad to hear about the Tornado that touched down not even 5 miles from your jobsite, and hope your farm and family are ok. Jobsite, despite the rain and weather, was not as bad, as it could of been. Thanks for shareing Chris.

[@hydraulic-hum]

loved the video Chris, good plan checking all the washouts and water flow after storm, and pushing the ashes while they are wet.. thought of you when I heard of the damage on the news, stay safe

[@garymessina1609]

Glad the nasty weather didn't get you Chris too bad great video thanks for sharing

[@terryrogers1025]

You mentioned something about what a mess it is, a perfect mess, after the rain, well sir, ya do everything else to perfection, ya might as well have a perfect mess to balance it all out. For what you had to work with after the rain I think you did an excellent job of salvaging the day, thanks for the update.

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

I got a notification yesterday from Ryan Hall Y all about that storm heading your way with possible tornadoes , unfortunately this was one time the weather guy was right . Glad you're OK .

[@craigwavra3495]

Well that’s an interesting title for a video!! Glad to hear no damage near you. Always enjoy how you have a backup plan! Kept the day from being washed out!!

[@debbiewebber1582]

We wondered if you were in the path of tornados. Happy you're safe.

[@kirk467]

Now that’s some serious rain Chris, I’ve never seen you running the grader like that before! You almost got it covered, D-6 cranks right up! Good machine and you can’t complain about that my friend! Looks like they’re forming up the workshop! Yeah I was praying that that tornado wouldn’t affect you brother! Thanks for sharing and you still got stuff done, Kirk from Louisiana! 👋🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@danielcohn-bendit701]

Chris, I’m a longtime subscriber and I love your channel. And I’m not one of these people who feel they need to tell a guy how to do his job. But buddy, I just think you need a full-time helper. You’re like one of those old-timey plate spinners, running to keep ‘em all going. 😇

[@dennis2376]

Just a counter point he said in the last video and others there is not enough work at times for another person. :)

[@petenolte4192]

Maybe fine someone semi retired but they maybe hard to find in his area

[@gussaba9004]

I do agree 💯💯💯💯

[@jonathanzellner906]

It’s probably quicker for him to do it alone, compared to explaining what he is planning his next step for alot of these projects

[@Manoffire260]

And FAR more profitable to do it himself - “employees” have so many hidden costs (SSI, taxes, worker’s comp, Medicare) that don’t make production any cheaper. Even contract labor has costs no one thinks about.

[@mikeznel6048]

Good thing it didn’t happen on one of the rainy burning days. We’re getting thunder storms and rain now. Got the site all sealed up.

[@ronthacker211]

Love the high tech grade keeper feature. Can't imagine doing that 'by eye".

[@bobbentley8908]

Glad the weather missed ya,great job 😮

[@andrewmaiden3738]

I love this channel and the outcomes of Chris's work. I am becoming convinced that the scale of his work is starting to indicate a requirement for a permanent assistant! There are of course three considerations, efficiency, responsibility and cost. I think efficiency is very evident, not only in terms of whole job time but also in terms of stress reduction. Responsibility.. well Chris seems to have loads of work so help would enable that to progress quicker and the right help would mitigate supervision etc. Cost!!! That is the difficult one, an additional member of staff is a big cost, but would it get more throughput of work and ease time pressures on jobs, don't know because of course it's all about job costing. I think Chris needs to have that discussion with himself.

[@rondastump8930]

God sure blessed u all, my goodness. New road coming along very well. Thank u for video and narrating each process. God's blessings and stay safe!

[@kevinmurray7135]

Chris you do estimate darn good for the amount you need you are pretty much close every time and you work well under pressure 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

[@jeffreycarpenter7485]

Glad you are ok too. That was a EF-3 "wedge" tornado, did a lot of damage. Ver y rare for that state.

[@chrispy104k]

32:40 - I love the way that D6 just starts with about half a rotation of the crank.

[@maxobara1496]

Real time data!! Priceless 👍🇺🇸

[@kevinmurray7135]

Yup rain is heavy but the corner and pipe turn out awesome 👍😎🇺🇸NY

[@tomthompson489]

Well, Chris, you’ve had a exciting day. Glad you’re safe.

[@nandi123]

You are smart to have thought out a plan if rough weather pops up. That would have really been something to see you and your dozer hunkered down in the borrow pit when a F-3 tornado passes over. Glad you're ok. 🌪😲

[@heatherlane9270]

Mama was right for sure - it happens. Trust all OK where tornado touched down - always good to plan ahead. Accomplished a great deal snake and cob web (d6) included.

[@jenkins2162]

You crossed my mind when I saw the news. Don't really know where you live in NC, but I'm glad you are okay.

[@jeffdean4961]

When it’s all said and done, it’s going to turn out Amazing . I have no doubt.

[@debbiedean1959]

I was wondering if you were affected by that weather. Glad everyone is safe.

[@Jammer.1]

But the rain makes the owner happy to see it starting to fill up even if you got redo some things it's all part the job & can be expected !

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

Thank God the funnel cloud did not go to your work area. Sorry the storm caused some damage to your work. I know you will do a fixer upper and make it good again. Well done on a rough day sir.

[@martymclamb5750]

Slick up very nice . Beautiful view of this drive 👍

[@johnblecker4206]

Your roadbuilding skills with leveling are perfect.

[@volsonrockytop690]

That was a wedge tornado! I'm thankful the tornado missed you!

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Great work. Never stop. Looking so landscaped 😊😊😊

[@bradholtz8121]

Was wonderin if you were getting blown around. Glad it missed ya. The whole property is looking great!

[@mischef18]

Half expecting to hear about tornadoes down here in NZ on TV news tonight with the very strong winds today. Get to odd one near by but none doing the amount damage we see on the news from up your way. Another great video from this project so thanks for that bro. Safe travels. Ken.

[@albertbusscher4270]

You are really copping it with that rain. Hopefully it will get better. Greetings from Australia

[@tedc7714]

I always heard about the red Georgia clay But never realized it was up in your neck of the woods too.

[@peterouellette3874]

Good job, Chris

[@gunny8783]

As always great job.

[@dennis2376]

Glad you where safe. Thank you and have great day.

[@Planeiron]

The D6 is so smooth sounding, the D6 is a gem...Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@robertrockwell7581]

glad you were safe. nice work.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Tornado!! That's terrifying!!!

[@jamesbailey586]

I look forward to your videos

[@Manoffire260]

Not too often you can get to see how all your work handles a deluge like that. Usually it is the customer calling causing you to come back to fix “issues”

[@toddincabo]

Glad you're safe.

[@chrisbartrum3201]

Great episode, LD.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Summer haircut......nice! ✂🔌👏✨👍

[@craigmosier5333]

He does need a good right hand man to take a little of the load off of him .... good work i could watch you play in the dirt all day 😊😊

[@bobbyb322]

Your grizzly bar is working well on the dozer

[@kevinmurray7135]

I think you work good under pressure Chris 👍😎🇺🇸NY

Thanks Chris 👍🍺😊

Thank Chris Now I've got that song in my head.. 25.50

[@crkproductions5000]

Glad the storms missed you. More storms today.

[@michaelbraga9620]

That tornado was no joke! Glad it missed you. The Pfizer building looks like it took a direct hit!!

[@ianmurray9201]

I love the D6 🥰 thank you.

[@richardphelan8414]

Heavy rains and a tornado ,Most contractors would have packed it in, and called it a day ,Chris is Ground raking on the D6 ,

[@melissareynolds8691]

Thankful you did NOT have to use your tornado plan….. ❤️❤️❤️ great video 😅

[@budlistar5312]

It looks like someone is working on the building slab you put in.

[@keithdunlap2701]

Yeah Chris, I heard the Weather Man say, you guys got a Tornado before I seen the video today !! Dammit Man !! That storm mess ya all up !! But, it should dry up pretty fast as hot as its been, and still is, in between these damn storms !! lolol.. Hell Man, Mayfield Ky. is just West of us here about an hour or so , they got over 11 inches of freaking rain yesterday !! Crazy !! But, It is what it is, just have to get after it when it dries back up !! But, Great as always Man !! Have a Great Evening, And, On too the Next !!

[@fhuber7507]

I've seen borrow pits just left to become small ponds.

[@EarnestElloitt-uk2qb]

Good afternoon from Wisconsin

[@redcauthen771]

I can just manage 200 years from now some tree hugger will be doing a Arch site review and think he found a gold mine when they dig through the pit areas😂😂

[@colinkennedy8730]

You got to love the sound of the d6 sweet as a lollipop

[@thomasleonard1846]

In case of tornado, pull your hat down tight, get underneath Betty!

[@dennis2376]

Then Betty sinks on you, no fun. :(

[@robmatthews7972]

Glad to know the tornado missed you.

[@TgWags69]

After a few years blowing leaves out of the stones and picking limbs up out of the road from ice storms and hurricanes, they'll probably regret having you move the road so close to the tree line....looks nice though. Spose they'll just hire out the maintenance, no skin off their teeth.

[@scrolemodel]

Chris: There's a snake in there, he's not gonna be happy. Snake: I'm pissssssssssssssssssed!

[@carolmirci1233]

Oh no Chris you are filling up the swimming hole.😢

[@randy6650]

Enjoyed the video Chris 😊

[@cleokey]

Wonderful project, I've enjoyed watching for several months. Perhaps someday you can give us a 30 minute overview of everything in general terms? Example, "x" acres to start, contains a fish pond with a beach, crops appear to be hay, so you must have stock to feed? You cleared hundreds of trees and burned them, imported hundreds of tons of rock, on & on. In the end, this would appear to be your home, your expectations when done are to be a gentleman farmer and ride your horse, fish and hang out on the beach. Just kidding on the end here, but I'm really impressed. Thanks, appreciate the videos. Stay safe, from Southern California 😊😊

[@crandonborth]

The bright side of getting that much rain is you can see the low spots that need more gravel. 🤷‍♂️

[@itzmikeomg2755]

Wow you got the tornado on video, that was awesome.
