Putting Stone Over A Muddy Parking Lot

[@robinlane4939]

All the properties you work on look so nice when you're done. We had a house taken down in our area, and when they were done and left, the property was left all clumpy and did not look good at all. My husband and I both said Let'sDig18 wouldn't have left it that way. You set a high standard.

[@TudaTenTv]

I hope that those working in the construction industry will set higher standards to ensure that properties are completed in a professional and aesthetically pleasing manner.

[@rawdez_]

maybe the property owners just didn't pay enough

[@MrPossumeyes]

Chris does leave a nice tidy job, I think.

[@willhall62406]

Those were some good looking dump truck bodies. 😊

[@evilbrat5376]

Worked at Godwin in the '90's welding up those dump bodies. Good work while I could work.

[@shitloveaduck]

I have to say Chris, this is the best parking lot work I have seen you do so far. Some days everything clicks,,,, this appeared to be one of those days. Makes the work look easy!! 😂 😂. (I know it isn’t quite so as I have done some gravel work like this with different loaders and tractors. That consistency and even grade doesn’t come easy. Much easier with a track loader than anything else, but still takes quite a few hours behind the controls before this level of work starts to appear. I’m retired and will kick the bucket before I get this good. That’s why it’s still so much fun to watch!! Thanks Chris.

[@TudaTenTv]

I also appreciate Chris's work, and it's true that sometimes skill and familiarity with equipment can affect job results. Although it's not an easy task, with persistence and effort, we can achieve such results. And it's really great that you can enjoy the joy of watching Chris work.

[@shitloveaduck]

@@Fatamus - Hahaha. If I tried that on video I would need a volcano to cover up my mistakes!!! Then again, I’m retired from farming & law enforcement,, haha.

[@axe835]

I get so relaxed watching videos like this I start going to sleep. I listen with earbuds and the skid stear sings a construction lullaby with the tracks. Its so peaceful when the camera is posted on a tripod like this all you hear is the tracks and a slight buzz of a small diesel and hydraulic hum. Love watching you do your magic Chris

[@craigwavra3495]

Have to enjoy the quick jobs!! Good looking parking lot there!!

[@ipanzerschrecku4732]

Perfect like the gravel bed in a Japanese Zen garden. Strong independent hardworking craftsmen like Chris gives order and peace to an otherwise chaotic and messy world.

[@TudaTenTv]

I couldn't agree more! Chris's attention to detail and his dedication to his work is truly inspiring. His craftsmanship is like the perfect gravel bed in a Japanese Zen garden, bringing a sense of order and tranquility to the job site. In a world that can often feel chaotic and messy, it's refreshing to see someone who takes such pride in their work and strives for excellence.

[@mikewest712]

A buddy of my rented the same skid steer,same bucket,same gravel. His experience with spreading was impressive. My experience was 3 hours of engine time and a mess.

[@jonathanzellner906]

I’m no professional by any means, but the few hours I’ve had on a skid steer I picked it up quick, I have ALOT of hours moving equipment with forklifts, it felt similar. Backing up a trailer gets me every time. Over compensate, under compensate. I pull forwards a lot

[@pinwizz69]

​@@jonathanzellner906 backing up trailers came easy for me. Which came in handy as a Coast Guard Aviation Machinist Mate moving around aircraft with double articulating tow bar, tow tractor and aircraft/helos. Talk about fun. Try backing one of those into a hanger already crowded with more of them. Two other guys using hand signals to direct you. Fun times.

[@jonathanzellner906]

@@pinwizz69 first of all, thank you for your service man! Most of the trailers I had to back were small single axle, the couple times I backed up longer or 5th wheel I did “better” but still not something I’d be proud of 😂

It's interesting to hear about different experiences with the same equipment and materials. Sometimes it can come down to operator skill and familiarity with the machine. I'm sorry to hear that your experience wasn't as successful as your friend's, but I hope you were still able to learn from it and improve your skills for the next time.

[@donnamullins2089]

That was a fast sweet job. Looks so simple when you are in the drivers seat. Thanks Chris. Have a great week.

[@TudaTenTv]

It's truly amazing how fast and efficient Chris completed the job! It's clear that he has a lot of experience and expertise, making it look effortless from the driver's seat. Thank you, Chris, for your hard work and dedication to the job. Hope you have a great week

[@davidmotoman4956]

Love the control you have over the machine. Lots of years of Practice i say, well done Chris.

[@RW-bt6ex]

Just like riding a dirt bike . Lots of years of practice .

[@TudaTenTv]

I couldn't agree more! Chris's mastery of the machine is truly impressive, and I'm sure it's the result of many years of practice and hard work. It's amazing to see how much control he has over the equipment, and how effortlessly he's able to maneuver it. Well done, Chris!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

You make it look easy and it's anything but! Thanks Chris. Hope you're having fun at ConExpo.

[@MLGtroll365]

Practice

[@TudaTenTv]

Thank you for acknowledging the hard work and skill that goes into the job. Chris definitely makes it look easy, but we know it takes a lot of practice and experience to achieve that level of proficiency. I also hope Chris is enjoying his time at ConExpo, he deserves a break after all his hard work!

[@TudaTenTv]

That's right, it looks easy but it's actually not.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Probably the #1 job you do that you make look so easy to do when I know it isn't. Any other contractor would have finished in half the time and it would be half the quality. You make it look like poured concrete. Very impressive.

[@TudaTenTv]

I completely agree with you! Chris's job is probably the #1 job that he makes look so easy to do, but I know it's not.

[@jamielee9350]

You mean other contractors would take twice as long and it still would not be as good 🤣🤣🤣 Chris is the GOAT in a grab ... 💯💯💯

[@mastinfowler8225]

I had my doubts at first what that was going to look like with standing water.. must have been a good base for the trucks to back in..another great job by the master..lol 👏👍

[@TudaTenTv]

I also had doubts at first about how it would look with standing water. But upon closer inspection, it seems like the road surface was built quite solidly, providing a favorable condition for trucks to back in. Chris is truly a master in road construction, his work is always carried out with the best quality.

It's always great to see other hardworking professionals in action, especially when they're doing the same work you just did. I'm sure you did an excellent job with those 15-ton loads, and it's impressive to see Chris handling the same task. Maybe you'll get the chance to meet up with him at CONEXPO and swap some tips and tricks!

Next to watching Chris run an excavator I like this work the best. He makes it look so easy and second nature. I think if you really paid attention to his movements it would improve anyone's skid steer operation.

[@TudaTenTv]

That's a great insight! It's always inspiring to see someone who has mastered their craft and can make it look effortless. And you're right, observing their technique and approach can be a valuable learning experience. I think it's also important to remember that even experts like Chris had to start somewhere and put in a lot of hard work to get to where they are now. It's a good reminder that with dedication and practice, we can all improve and reach our own goals.
