[@TomThomas-w8b]

Hi Sam really like this video, the way you did this one it tied right in with the message and that was great. But I’m sure there’s viewers that would appreciate you explaining the process and the projects you’re working on. Thanks Sam enjoyed the video and the message 👍🏻

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Tom, it seems like there is a good mixture of folks who like this type of video and the others where I explain things. Will do a little bit of both in future videos. Glad you enjoyed the message… God Bless

[@lynnbreazeale9134]

[@tristardiggin]

Thank you Justin! Yup, the rock bill was a doozy and not done with the rock yet. Will have to gravel the entire road all the way back to the pad area. Glad you enjoy the message… God Bless

[@justinsigmon1878]

@tristardiggin yes sir God is good brother and worthy of praise. I started my own landscaping/tree business and he has blessed me more than I ever could have imagined.

[@jont9903]

Thanks Dave, I appreciate that! I do enjoy the CAT equipment…😀

[@rickyhesson342]

Very good work on your job good word today

[@tristardiggin]

Thank you Ricky, I appreciate that and God Bless! Sam

[@fivestring4653]

I was sure glad to see you fill around that pipe with 57's . They'll never have a problem with that joint . Regarding the message : that was my wife and mine's prayer this morning , to give back to the Lord by glorifying him through our lives the way we live and hopefully we'll be seen as peculiar to the world when we go out . God blesses us so much every day and I know we can't out give him but he gives so much it makes me feel I ain't doing enough and pray for opportunities to tell someone about him . I mean that's the best way I can think of to give back. I appreciate the message Sam , thanks

[@tristardiggin]

Right, I believe that was a good fix for the pipe extension. Should not settle at all. That is a great prayer y’all had this morning. And that was well said… God Bless

[@brianhubbard1621]

Thanks for your messages and the effort you put into them, another good “mud hole “ educational video, thanks again

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Brian! Definitely a big ole muddy mess… God Bless

[@davidparks3954]

Hello Sam, my name is Dave. Im glad i found your channel. Ive been a heavy equipment operator for 30 years now. My specialty is an Excavator. You're an inspiration with your talent and the words you speak. I came across your channel trying to learn all i can about the trimble earthworks gps system. I work for a big outfit here in Lexington Kentucky. I'm familiar with the system but there is a lot of things I need to learn on it. Im originally from the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia. I've been binge watching your videos. I told my wife I would love to go down and hang out with you and I said if that ever happened maybe I could get with you and work with you for a day or so. I told her that I wouldn't even expect to be paid. The word of God is something I need more than anything. I need him back in my life. I've grew away from him over the years. I would like to thank you and to keep doing what you've been doing.

[@tristardiggin]

Hey David I appreciate what you said and welcome to the channel. Trimble was a great investment and I’m glad to have it , especially working by myself. Hey I’m glad to hear the message was a blessing to you and you want to restore your relationship with the Lord! That is the most important thing we can do. Maybe somewhere along the way we will meet. I’m kind of planning to go to the Louisville Expo Center later this year, if I’m not mistaken there is going to be a trade show there. Will have to check on that to make sure it’s this year… Thanks and God Bless Sam

[@raymondgochenour8725]

Enjoyed it just like always

[@tristardiggin]

I appreciate that Raymond, thanks…

[@JamieCoursey-f3t]

Good job, good message. People probably say my comments are too long also. So I will keep it short tonight. Hope you have a good rest of your week. My friend.😊

[@tristardiggin]

That’s a good one! 😀 Thanks Jaime and have a blessed week as well…

[@AllstarVentures]

“ cat got your tongue” ? Lol 😂 Nice how you were able to float the culvert right up to the other 👍🏼 Nice job and good word. Keep spreading the Truth, Sam

[@tristardiggin]

Yup, cat got my tongue! 🤣🤪Thanks, I appreciate it. I thought that was kinda cool when the pipe floated right up there where it was supposed to go! 😀 God Bless

[@qualitydirtmoving]

Nice video💪👍

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching…

[@shaneoates335]

I enjoyed the video but I like it better when you talk about what you're doing as you go. Awesome message as usual 👍🏻👍🏻 keep up the good work brother.

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Shane, I appreciate the feedback! I like the way I have been doing them as well. Glad you enjoyed the message too. God Bless

[@7-oaksfarm]

Sam you have the gift of gab use it hahaha..... Wish I could talk along like you do, think it helps feel connected more like we are there with you.... Keep up the good work though!

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks I appreciate that feedback on this video. I’m not sure my school teachers called it a gift though. 🤣🤪 I appreciate you supporting the channel…

[@DigginLife21]

🔥🔥🔥 The title alone made me laugh😂😂😂

[@tristardiggin]

Nice! 🤣😂🤪

[@dougbrewer2257]

Amen

[@tristardiggin]

😀

[@timberterra]

That's some expensive fill material, but it'll make a great road. Road fabric is your friend. Use it!

[@tristardiggin]

Fabric works pretty good in some situations. Guess we all do things a little differently…

[@stovebolt448]

Good Afternoon Sam.🙃

[@tristardiggin]

Hello James, appreciate you watching…

[@jimjennings1970]

I like your message on the Bible and on the rest of your video is good to keep it up

[@ron4haze]

[@tristardiggin]

Thank you Ronald! 😀

[@martymclamb5750]

Marty that is for sure! He doesn’t get too far away from where I am… Thanks…

[@jimposey8542]

Praise God for His Word !

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Jim and Amen!

[@brandoneads5496]

Great video. I agree we all should show our light and faith everyday, not just on when the church doors are open. So many are just Sunday Christians. I know that from experience from being out of church for a few years, a Sunday Christian can discourage many. It is really discouraging to the ones that have been out of church and see the way some are, especially preachers. That is what has discouraged me the most. I know people are people and are not perfect, but they should show and act like they are Christians. Sorry to ramble thanks Sam and keep up the great work.

[@tristardiggin]

Hey Brandon, I know what you are saying. It is discouraging but we just need to keep our focus on the Lord. God Bless

[@brandoneads5496]

Exactly

[@blackdogexcavator21]

In some ways, I liked the video the way you did it. It's interesting to watch the action without commentary and just see the progress being made. On the other hand, I'd rather have the interaction with the content creator because it seems more personal to me. I guess that's why as Christians, we have the ability to go before the Father in prayer, tell him how we are feeling, ask for forgiveness, and to ask Him to heal, provide, and comfort us in our times of need. It's the personal relationship in prayer and church worship that keep us close to God. Thanks for the message and sharing your work day.

[@tristardiggin]

That was well said and a great way to explain it. I like watching other channels do the work but also have a mixture of commentary with it…

[@briangammons8242]

Charlie Chaplin? lol. If you’re like me sometimes you just got to put your head down and go. Got a lot to do and not a lot of time to get it done. Sometimes ain’t much room for talking. I enjoyed the video as always Sam. Great job!!

[@tristardiggin]

Brian that is exactly right! Just have to hunker down and get things done. 🤣 Thanks

[@mikec8519]

I was wondering when you were zip it up. Just kidding good video and a great message.

[@tristardiggin]

😳 Thanks Mike, I appreciate that!

[@randywilson6869]

U are doing a great job. Ole Chris has set the bar pretty high hasn’t he with his mini doing things on his own. I don’t want me a 304e2 for sure. Is that your first 1

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Randy. Chris definitely did! The first excavator was a 308. Then I got the 304. Then I sold the 308 after getting the 313…

[@rgill450]

Could you help me understand the reasoning behind using rock around the pipe? I'm curious because I would typically backfill with dirt and then top it off with stone, which might save some money. Just looking to understand your process better. Thanks!

[@tristardiggin]

Basically used for the compaction rating. You find different numbers on the internet but typically 57s will be 90% or so compacted just by dumping it in place. Then after running a compactor across it you will get almost no settling running accross it. It is very difficult to get dirt compacted around the bottom of the pipe up to about halfway of the pipe and then when you compact dirt around the top half you will have a maintenance/repair issue as the dirt begins to settle over time. I will be running the dump truck weighing around 66k and also concrete trucks will be crossing it as well. Rock is just a better way to go because of compaction. Hope that helps out some… Sam

[@johnelliott6738]

Black & White video would have been the perfect compliment - Ha.

[@tristardiggin]

John that would have been great! I wish I had thought of that and used a black and white filter for some of it…🤣 Thanks, Sam

[@darrylmackenzie8890]

Another enjoyable video Sam. I appreciate the hard work that you put into producing your videos. I was wondering if you have any experience with the Cat 312 good or bad? Thanks Sam and God bless!

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Darryl, I appreciate that! I haven’t operated a 312 but I would say if it’s in good shape it would do a great job for you. God Bless

[@garryhoffman417]

Did you ever walk in a class Room an the teacher doesn’t speak - keep the talkies coming and always another great vid

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Garry and that is a good way of putting it! 🤣

[@codycrouch4861]

I thought my volume was turned down at first then though maybe you mic broke lol enjoyed the video and message Sam!

[@tristardiggin]

lol, that’s funny! Just a little something different I was trying out… Thanks

[@codycrouch4861]

Def shows me the different in talking in videos and not. I gotta get better at talking to my audience. I gues busy doing something and kinda zone out lol kinda like my quiet place lol then I remember that I’m filming lol 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@jimd421]

That small of an excavator reminds me of tongue toys.

[@tristardiggin]

@codycrouch4861 yup, it takes some time to get comfortable and use to talking in the videos.

[@gregorycook9991]

😎

[@tristardiggin]

😀👍

[@planeanddirtsimple]

Diesel is doing a good job inspecting the work. Love the high lift tailgate on the Mack. Great message, if we were called into court and accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict us? Have a good one!

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Kenny! Yup, that lift gate is great for sure. Glad you enjoyed the message…

[@allanpeters4403]

I agree with Jeffrey below and I bet you will be glad when this job is done - lol.

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Allan! It has been a lot of work for sure. But I definitely like the challenging jobs…🤪

[@randywilson6869]

There is a guy in Sapulpa ok that has a pipe yard that his old grandfather started years ago. It has grown so big now that the grandson has it. But he had a piece of property across the highway from it and it was nothing but a 25 foot deep washout that flowed big time after a good rain. They put a couple pipes like that but about twice that size. It was no time that it started not working so he took them out and went and got a bunch of boulders and filled it in with them and then topped it off with rip rap the gravel then he concrete it all he gained a couple acres of parking. They have 2 school buses with the flashing lights and brings all his help to work like that. It’s interesting how all that water flows through it like that.

[@tristardiggin]

Wow! Sounds like a pretty good fix on that place…

[@jim9387]

awesome where can I get a big BIBLE like that?

[@tristardiggin]

Hey Jim, I use a John MacArthur study Bible. I’m thinking it would be available on Amazon.

[@kevingardner4737]

Another great message and video. Go back to being yourself. Thanks Sam

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Kevin and I definitely like making videos the way I have been doing them. I appreciate the feedback on this video… God bless

[@alexosborne5629]

Charlie Chaplin or Harold Lloyd ??? 🤔😂 Anyway, you did a canny job, Sam ..... I think you think you know what you are doing 🤓💪 And as for Diesel.... just spent the day doing what Border Collies do best.... rounding things up !!! Wise words too, I may not be a church user, but I do serve in my own way.... put my skills to work for our family and neighbours, run a fire cadet branch (13 to 18 year olds), and being part of a retained (on call) fire crew on top of my full time job..... Thankfully my better half understands what I do, and she is willing to let me do the extra activities for the community !!

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Alex! I sure try hard to figure things out. 🤪 Diesel loves to ride and also just to run around too. Glad you enjoyed the message and it definitely looks like you do a lot of community work where you are… God Bless

[@KB-ji7mj]

Aman

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Anthony!

[@msgtb]

Don't trust in commentaries. Read the word of God and ask the Holy Spirit if you don't understand something. God Bless you in Jesus Christ most holy name Dave

[@tristardiggin]

Thanks Dave and I agree that God will give us the wisdom, James 1:5 makes that clear to us. However, we shouldn’t cast aside well written Bible based commentaries to help us understand the Bible. Over time there have been some great preachers who share the meaning of scripture through verse by verse commentary that helps us every day folks understand… God Bless, Sam
