I love how Chris's "little camp fires" end up thirty feet tall. And there is always one Karen who makes that silly call. Always seems to have his permits in order and FD just asks him to keep it sane and laughs at the Karen with him. Picasso of dirt. Such a pretty picture of clay and amazing progress in a day. Thanks for the show Chris.

Your repairs seem to follow the formula my grand-dad taught me years ago. When estimating any project, he always told me to consider these three elements: It can be done fast. It can be done well. It can be done cheaply - pick 2 of the 3 because there is no way to accomplish all 3 on the same project.

I imagine you have a lot of free time being as you never put in over 16 hours a day running equipment and then 5 hours editing . Then you must waste the other three hours sleeping . Thanks for all your effort to show you at your craft .

Nice to see it's running again. I think they never ever inspected that machine and it was sold because of the very problem you experienced. The turbo pipe was probably already split and broken when you got it hense why it was whistling when it arrived. Nice machine but I think the previous owner ran plain water instead of DEF in it. The dealer missed the hydraulic fluid missing which means they most likely never inspected it. Shame it broke outside of the Volvo warranty but great to see it running again. Have you considered buying one of those diagnostic tools?
