You got that right!

I love that kind of job. That was the work that I had to do in my country when my father had the construction company and I felt so good working by myself and smelling the dirt and the reward to finish something in that kind of place so peaceful

This type of work is very rewarding, the tractors make it easy and being outdoors in the dirt is where I was meant to be. Thanks for watching.

keep on doing what you doing, I love digging and grading! these guys that don't get down to biz, wanna be tv stars bore me. I'm a plumber, sure understand hand digging around utilities. 👍 Dave

Easily half of my joy in making these videos is being able to share my dad's music. Comfort food is similar to comfort music. I grew up listening to my dad's music and when I hear a song it takes me back in time. I'm his biggest fan.

I would love to have your toys to play with, you are blessed . You have given such good advise. I feel stuck with my job, you are doing exactly what I want to do for a living

I try and get about 6 hours minimum of sleep every night and the rest of the time I work. I have an amazing family support team as well. I would not say it is easy because it is not. In fact, sometimes It is very difficult to maintain. The hardest part about my job is scheduling. Sometimes I end up being in situations where I am needed in three different parts of the county at the same time. I dislike that feeling and I have to remind myself that "this too shall pass". Good question and thanks for watching.

Just on viewing your technique,Wouldn't it be more practical to spread the gravel with the trucks at first then get it finely spread finish with skid steer.. ? Just observation from a lot of other Workman techniques and strategies.

It’s abit dangerous those trucks driving up or down that road wih the loaded bin in the air especially with trees and humps in the road ect, it’s safer to push it with the skid steer or dozer. Eliminates a multitude of things that can easily go wrong for no reason, a good open space on a flat road yes it would be ideal to spread with trucks 👍🏽

Good question. Based on my math calculations, I needed to dump and spread each load of rock over a 28 foot section of road. This is my technique to ensure that the budgeted amount of rock for the project would be evenly distributed and result in a more consistent base thickness. I made a paint mark every 28' and did my best to keep that volume of rock in that section. Also, the slope of the road was a bit sketchy and there were overhanging tree limbs that would have snagged the dump beds.
