Loading More Trucks And Finding More Rock

Site prep. One of the hardest parts of a project to bid. Who knows what is going to show up underground.

You are clearly a master choreographer of the construction ballet that is man, machine and materials. Thank you for sharing the dance.

[@bobolson9865]

That job's is like the last year. A little Rocky!! Thanks I'd much rather watch your videos than the news!! Again thanks for the distraction, entertainment and education 👍

[@stevehultman5315]

You are a conductor of a symphony of iron, never missing a note, directing all the highs and lows. Bravo! LOL

[@stevegreen291]

Chris I still say you should use the big boulders to build a really nice waterfall on your next pond project.

[@littlefinkle7757]

Or a bridge through the middle of one

[@marcryvon]

Problem is moving those multi tons rocks ! Man, they look humongus ! Worth a big flat bed ? Don't think so.

[@greg9403]

I like how you dig the rock out only to put them back into the earth. Maybe another load of top soil to your farm. Frosty morning makes you happy for a cab heat.

[@LtOddball]

Being home from work due a busted shoulder, a new video from Chris helps the mood. All the tricks you learn from watching a master at work, is just insane. A lot of the techniques I see in these videos, I can use in my day to day work, as a city road worker, operating (not quite as large as Chris') machines, cutting grades and laying gravel for retaining wall foundations. Keep up the good work Chris!

[@michaelpage9883]

Rocks, rocks, and more rocks! Glad to see that you are finally getting to grade.

[@ngtflyer]

Doing the same work by yourself with one machine as many crews have to have three guys and a couple of machines! Always great content. And you know, Justin's rocking it with that old truck. He's obviously got it in good working condition and he's earning money with it. Great to see the older stuff still out there working.

[@grahamhayden9770]

"Get out of the cab less"!🤣😂 Yer right,I reckon Chris would do a 14 day covid isolation in the cab and when they said you're good to go he'd say "do I have too?". He loves that volvooo !!

[@craigwavra3495]

Hah. 24:40 mark. Chris doesn’t put dirt in the truck first and John reminds him. I think Chris did that for the way he backed up.

[@virginian7317]

And John knew he backed in wrong the second the boulder was put in his truck!

[@billjohnson9343]

Haha. Yup. Then he looks over the edge and hollered “you put some dirt in there first”....lol

[@Mephiston]

The sad part about all the work he's doing is that nobody is going to know the pain in the arse he went through clearing below grade and filling it in just so they can get good footings.

[@terryjennings2356]

"Put some dirt in there first!" Back into the right spot next time.

How much for the house 550 grand, how much for the lot, 550 grand. In high school I worked for a land grading company. Naturally I was the grunt occasionally running the equipment. Some areas were high in rock but not like this thankfully. I truly believe they would've asked me to move them by hand lol. It worked out in the end. Made me tough and wise.

[@ronaldheit196]

I'm beginning to wonder if he's ever going to finish this project. It has to be his biggest KZbin one yet.

There is a company here in Australia that makes "enriched topsoil" by mixing the sawdust and shavings from chicken farms into sandy soil. Letting it brew for a few months and selling it on. They had a big contract at one point shipping soil to the Saudis. There may be a market for it there where you are, I dont know, but it grows food crops really well!

At least you don't have to worry about frostfree depth... Which is 8 feet roughly here... So basically you want to built something here you need to dig 8 feet below grade and backfill with gravel....Or build basements...
