Awesome video. I love your content. It is really cool when you have the resources to take nature (logs) and turn them into a product. You see it from start to finish. It also gives you an opportunity to make a little more money. Making the wood for that job might have taken longer, but you have the opportunity to help pad your pocket too. Thanks for sharing the video. It was fun and entertaining to watch. I am also enjoying the castle build you have going with Andrew. Very cool.

Thanks for the tip about potholes. We have a couple that just won't go away. I am going to use the teeth on the box blade to rip em up and start over. Wish me luck!

Looks awesome Jesse, Beautiful work. If they want those fence posts to last, coat the tops with fiberized roof cement and drill a 3/4'' hole at an angle, starting 6'' above the ground down into the center of the post, 6'' below the ground level. Then fill the hole with diesel/kerosene/oil to stop the post from rotting where they always do, where it meets the ground. Cap holes with a removable wooden plug, so the hole can be refilled until completely saturated. Gramps taught me that trick when I was like 10yrs old. I've never had a post snap off at ground level.

thats an interesting idea. I think concrete rots them out much quicker too, I try not to use it when i dont have to. but in this case, the company rents the land so they are not looking for the fence to last, because they may have to pay to get it removed lol. but good idea you have, may have to give it a try

Nice job. And you're 100% right on having to rip up the potholes to mix the material back together. That's where counties fail on repairing their gravel roads. But they're going to have a bad road again for a few reasons. Mainly because the driveway is at ground level or lower which causes it to get water saturation, honestly it needs built up at least 12 inches and a crown put on it to shed the water. Being a contractor I know how the majority of customers are and don't want to spend any money to do it right the first time even though it would save them money down the road so you just end up doing it the way they want. I even make them sign the contract stating that it won't fix the problem and that they'll just keep having the same issues because it never fails a couple months down the road they always call back saying that the road is crap and want you to come and fix it for free.

At a mile long and 12 feet wide by 12 inches deep it would take 2,346.66 cubic yards or 3,285.32 tons of material plus trucking and blading it out then rolling it. It would definitely cost them some coin! 3/4" inch minus here runs around $8 per ton so that's just over $26,000 just in materials so they'd definitely be looking around at least $50,000 depending on how far you'd have to truck the gravel.

Hey Jesse good video, being a builder and operator as well i would recommend a 4in1 bucket for your skid steer and build yourself a leveling/smudge bar for the leveling and back blade work. they just do a really good job of leveling material quickly. I have also use a RHS steel section with grader cutting edges bolted to it for cutting and clearing ground quickly, it works a treat and would be great for cleaning out the pot holes.

Awesome video sharing

Excellent job of saving material. It makes no sense unless you break the surface tension and then the holes find new places as they never stop. They just trade places but the road really needs a ditch so it doesn't wash itself out.

9:18 Your theory of tearing up pothole is really solid. Iv seen other KZreadrs that have "equipment" channels that just spread gravel over the holes. I live in NWPA on a dirt road. I really wish the township understood this same theory. I also think that the compaction rate of the soil plays a part. Being there is a thicker amount of loose soil in the hole than is over the grade.

great job thanks for the video have fun
