I'm Going Loco | Ashville Weekly ep206

[@llCHR15ll]

It used to be about Sunday evenings at 8 to catch Top Gear. All about Sunday mornings now

[@jasonrussell5521]

Fully back this!!!!

[@davidbarclay6293]

Don't make me cry Chris! Still trying to get over not having those three on TV together 🤣

[@levicarson5307]

Sunday night 8 pm for me. love it

[@bartoni79]

Ditto

[@bartoni79]

Cemex deliver to Ashville who then hood it in the hopper then deliver to other clients… why don’t cemex just deliver straight to clients missing out Ashville?

[@LiquidD34th]

i know it might be a bit boring but can we have a sky view tour of the new yard with like overlays of what will be and what you have right now would be intrsting to see it all as we have a macro view on the ground but a nice over view would be cool just to visually see it all

[@michaelloberger9368]

I’d love that too

[@todmeister15]

Excellent idea

[@erice3525]

It's already been done in a previous episode, can't remember which.

[@GenaF]

Yes pls., i still feel quite confused what is where 👍🏻

[@GenaF]

I have noticed how early the lorry drivers come into work and have just heard Daniel say 5am. They're expected to have their trucks loaded and fuelled up the night before so they are ready to go, BUT where can they go at that unearthly hour?? They can't start making a noise at that time of day so can someone tell me? Do they all pile in a nearby cafe for a bacon butty and cuppa tea?

[@dharmeshpatel2924]

Thanks

[@dharmeshpatel2924]

A tiny help towards a new engine. You’re a true inspiration of hard work.

[@peterscarah641]

Daniel , cover the tanks with a dark paint and prevent sunlight causing the algi growth ot fit a UV light keeping sterile , it works for fish pond filter boxes .

[@thisisashville]

We will notify Daniel and the team. Thanks for the suggestion. 🙏

[@markmawson1]

Dark colours attract the heat from the sun which will promote algi growth, if you have ever noticed when we have hot weather dark cars the bodywork gets to hot to touch and white and silver cars aren't.

[@seanowen8401]

​@thisisashville guys it may be worthwhile purchasing water purification tablets...they kill algae and bacteria for camping etc and once a week drop one in...they should be concrete safe...cheaper than pumps filters and lost work time Also interesting you download once a month for the tacho heads...how often do you download the driver card... would be interested in chatting though this with yourselves..

[@mixedkebabwrap3461]

​@thisisashville look into Biocide as a water additive. We use it in beer coolers in pubs. Added periodically it helps massively.

[@robertwalsh1724]

Thanks!

[@TechVibe31]

Once settled in the new yard. A bigger cement storage is recommended for efficiency long term. Save money on cement logistics cost and better operating capacity

[@Darren-kc3uu]

everything I hope he change upgrade. better water fuel etc take a tanker and some every time. I'm amazed he didn't think of a crusher hire or buy one as a recycle. hire a crusher rip out old stuff from yard and new yard must be cheaper than buy in. as when he do this there r alot of staff doing nothing. let alone gains new train where the plan for pipes waste etc. soon get loads no hard floors no dains no power ideas. no ur plan but we moved it 100 times. oooo what we need is in storge. hi end cowboys. I say that because quick move fix. to well temp temp temp crap

Can't believe it's been 5 years since the LH60 arrived in the yard, where does the time go 👀👍👍

Congrats on the first train guys. Looking forward to next week already... 1. To see if the concrete mixer works on Monday 2. To see the Type-1 delivery!

[@stormchaserpaul]

Who needs top gear when you got a top geezer!! Also I keep hearing Asheville on the news over in the USA. Keeps reminding me of this and how it could be possible to help the lots of people who have been made homeless or lost lives in NC. Looking forward to next weeks episode

[@bradleytaylor]

Best Sunday arvo/night routine in Australia.. .. .. .. never keen to go back to work on a Monday but the Ashville video is like a pep talk at half time we all need to get through the week. ! SERIOUS !

[@jamiewall9076]

Wow an hour and a quarter,glad the wife had to grand DIY plans for me this morning! Dan take care of yourself, you always fight the good fight and go above and beyond for your staff and company but 16 hours days repetitively will burn Yiu out, your gonna need a break soon. Plus side we'll get Asheville weekly with Tezza!

[@Rowls_25]

Love the part at around 9:00 when Tezza gives Daniel a little shove, as if to say well done. The hard work will be worth the effort!!!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@keithhanbury-chatten9877]

It’s Sunday morning……. I’m in the lounge…… already nearly 5000 views in 20 minutes. Keep up the good work Daniel

[@TARWCreations]

I read this in Daniel’s voice

[@paulmshanga3310]

Good morning, Ashville family, zambia is in the building 👷‍♂️ 💪🏼. 🇿🇲

[@ArenCunia]

HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

[@jasperhuiskes8737]

That moment at 9:21 was beautiful. Great to see the hard work paying off!

[@GlynnPowell]

Im plumbing and plastering my kids bedroom moaning about my todo list ... Then I watch Daniel and have to STFU. Crack on big man, you're an inspiration!

[@grahammilligan3722]

Hi Dan, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Ive watched Your content for a fair few years now and has been a huge inspiration and played a massive part in pushing me out of my comfort zone. Because of the motivation I got from your content, I finally took the leap, got HGV licence, and have since moved on to full-time employment as a Class 1 driver. The journey hasn't been easy, I've had to fully fund it myself with the rise in cost of living but seeing your experiences and advice really gave me the confidence to go after something I’ve always wanted. You've not only inspired me to make a change that needed to happen but also to embrace the challenges that come with pursuing a new path in life. Thank you for all that you do-keep up the great work, as it’s making a real difference to people like me. Ps when you expanding to scotland give me a shout.. Best regards, Graham

[@Darren-kc3uu]

well done all at Ashville. a milestone. train in yard. well done everyone

[@thisisashville]

👊

[@sambonefarmer9139]

Daniel, appreciate you sharing, this is one of the best channels on YT.

[@flanjo.NZ.]

Once the new yard is completed and you have stopped pumping time, money, resources and effort into it your life will be a breeze, you're a man on a mission and a big part of that is just about done and done really well, hats off to you big fella, there's not many people out there that could manage to do what you're doing, enjoy your videos, thanks for letting us tag along.

[@steveng5503]

You’re one very important member of staff short. Most business are. Those who have a fixer have a lot less problems. The difficulty is finding the right person for the job and not being shy to providing the correct tools for the fixer. Ohh, the pay must be attractive.

[@daZzaMan]

Daniel is increadably hard working and inspiring. He leads by example and is always clear and thourough with his staff. A true leader. It's amazing to see what Daniel has built and continues to push forward building his businesses despite constant challanges and set backs. This is what sets people like Daniel apart, his ability to keep pushing through challenges and digging deep to keep going. I hope Daniel builds his dream and wish him every success. Daniel opening up about the challenges he faces was extremely inciteful. One of the best episodes I have watched. Keep going Daniel, never give up and remember they reckon it takes an average of 20 years to become an ovenight success!! 🙃😂

[@ballybansel6186]

Algae in tank is because your tanks are white, and allow sunlight through to allow algea to form. Put a cover over the tank to stop the sunlight getting to the water, and your problem will be solved, or at least made better

[@thisisashville]

Thank you for the suggestion, we will notify the team and Daniel

[@tomwhitehouse5121]

Daniel you're a micro manager , most expensive yard supervisor in history If Terry leaves your in Sh*t because your in the yard and not in the office Basically off load some of your work to a trusted person for the yard work, give then a daily task sheet employ a mechanical guy who can look after the vehicles and plant you have on site and on lease, could be the same guy Do you visit long term lease machines make sure they are in good shape , no surprises when they return from lease. Your health is more important, the grave yard is full of micro managers that thought they were indispensable you think your running a sprint , no your actually running a marathon Best of luck

[@builtbyme]

Been in business for years, built multiple companies within said business, gets a new property that he's working on making the way he wants, films a small part of his days during the week to show on youtube, im pretty sure he's doing fine. Just cause what people see him film, he wouldn't be where he is if he wasn't doing things correct.

[@kaurkoop]

Terry wont leave, daniel pays him alot

[@alexpeartree2019]

​@@builtbymeI get your sentiment, but if you think he won't always be thinking of how to improve his life and his businesses that isn't how he's got where he has. Not saying that OP is right on this, but it would certainly free up some of his time for more forward thinking. Likewise thinking that Terry will never leave... One should always have a succession plan in place and I would imagine Daniel will have a plan already in place for that day.

[@builtbyme]

@alexpeartree2019 he's well ahead of the game. People need to stop thinking what's shown on youtube is what's actually going on. These videos are already 2 weeks behind. You literally see maybe 10 to 30 mins out of each day for 6 days. That's 3 hours out of at least 60 hours a week based on a 12 hour day. With at least 5 companies under one umbrella that were all built from the ground up many years ago, im gonna say confidently that he isn't micro managing anything, he has delegated what needs to be, and is always steps ahead. It's youtube, take it for what it is. You definitely won't ever see every hour of the day in a video.

[@thebigsdog]

You have a good point, but He is probably in the yard for the content. No one wants to see 1 hour ashville weekly of him in the office.

[@YepYepYepYepYep]

New yard is going to be so sick when it’s all up and running 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@jameswestbrook5709]

we need long videos like these, thanks man, keep it at 1 hour and more few mins

[@thisisashville]

Hi, the videos will always be as long as the content allows them to be. Sometimes it will be short and sometimes it will be longer. 👊❤️

[@mrmasterplaster999]

Daniel, i started watching your videos thinking all you did was moan. I was wrong you are an absolute warrior and deserve all the success that you are having. Keeping all those plates spinning is something not many people would be able to do, obviously you have a quality team behind you but you stay intouch with all parts of your business. Awesome.

[@michaelhumphrey8573]

I was just looking at where the visitors come into the yard at the turnstile and thinking the gap from the turnstile to the train what will be there. A bit of concrete could go there so the visitors that come in that way doesn't get mud and dirty on there shoes and it doesn't go all into your nice train when it's in place. Keep up the good work tho Daniel. Amazing guy to watch on my Sunday morning.

[@theyoungenthusiast9835]

When Daniel was waiting for the GB Railfreight Train to arrive and said, ''This is a big thing after saying the train was 3 minutes late and giving all the reasons why it was a big thing', I paused the video and escaped the Full Screen and clicked the Like Button. Keep Pushing Guys, Forward for the Glory of Ashville. Hopefully, you can push the business to do international works, like in Dubai and all that sort.

[@Sam.147]

Well done Daniel, I've watched your journey since the very first episode. You my friend, are doing great things 👊🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️

[@norfolknchance.500]

Alge/blockage issue! A suggestion for the removal of algea and cleaning of pipes might be Hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach, this has a much more penetrating and oxidising effect than bleach and is also cheap! Secondly, the water tank you showed with alge build up (and others no doubt) are light permeable and so give rise to algea growth, a simple solution would be to paint the exteriors with black paint etc, that does not allow light to enter and algea to grow, that or a cover of some sort to exclude the light! Just a couple of thoughts that may help, or be cast aside as the ramblings of a madman! Haha! Keep up the brilliant work Daniel and crew!

38:52 daniel check out key traka there a electronic key cabinet and basically you set up users and what keys they are allowed and every key movement is tracked and can export log to USB in case one does go missing pricey but worth it we use them in the set up of engineer workshops and is a game changer

[@maxgreen6526]

Daniel, as a young Auzzie business owner, I really appreciate you sharing the reality of how tough the grind can be. I often feel the pressure working 15-hour days, but watching you reminds me that there’s always more fuel in the tank.

[@tony78652]

Daniel, I recentley installed a 1000ltr water tank for water storage in my garden. I was told by the supplier to buy a black tank, because black tanks don't allow algae to form, and clear tanks do. So may have black tanks on the concrete trucks, and in the mean time paint them black.

[@OllyGregson]

Despite being unrelated content this channel is and has always been on of the biggest inspirations for starting my own one! Hoping that staying transparent and authentic will help us grow but never expecting numbers like these, you’re smashing it mate.

Wow the locomotive 🚂 arriving for the first time on the new track and yard is very special. Such a lovely feeling. I love being local to Ashville, always puts a :) on my face when I see the fleet.

[@mingthemerciless6855]

Daniel, I appreciate your sharing your thoughts and insights to running a successful business. It amazes me how you're able to keep up with all the aspects of your business. It's really inspiring. I'm sure as part of your personal health you find time to meditate daily. It will keep you centered. I was wondering if you have a documented maintenance of troubles and preventive service log of all the machines. Having experience running high level computer banking systems back when Preventive Maintenance (PM) was required, it was easy to postpone of drop entirely. When that happens all hell brakes loose. Suggest you have a dedicated schedule and I guarantee that your machines will run longer. The pool chemical solution was brilliant. Say, looks like you can use a Welder Fabber ramp for your Lorry's LOL. Keep the videos coming! Cheers.

[@DGSolutionsExteriorcleaningspe]

Another great video the yard is really coming together. You and your team have done so much already to the new yard. Keep up the good work. This is my new channel as I’ve had a new phone and unfortunately lost my old KZbin channel won’t let me bk on it so had to set another one up.
