We missed you big time Randy but taking care of personal business is much more important. We appreciate your effort more than you'll ever realize.

Hey Randy. Do what you need to do. Don't feel compelled to push yourself beyond what you're capable of.

You certainly have a lot going on, glad to hear you are on the mend, we missed you.

Hi Randy. I'm a doctor and it sounds like you need to get an MRI of that shoulder with a thought to seeing if you need a shoulder arthroscopy. It may be anything from a rotator cuff tear to simple tendon calcification, but there are very effective treatments available and you shouldn't just continue on trying to live with the pain.

Pain stimulates the immune system to go to where the pain is. There, the white blood cells find damaged tissue, which they don't recognize as being "one of their own" (because the immune system never normally sees the insides, the guts of cells, and so doesn't recognize what they are). Attacking them as foreign invaders, this slows and can stop the healing process. In spinal cord injuries, suppressing the pain can apparently make the difference between walking again, and being wheel-chair-bound for life. So, yes, don't ignore pain. It's not good for you. (Something to do with inflammation and the release of histadines; the white blood cells are attracted to the inflammation. I don't recall the details.)

Randy: Its so nice to see folks appreciative of your situation and video work. Often social media is used to harshly and unfairly criticize people. Its refreshing to have positive and supportive thoughts expressed. Good on you!

Constructive criticism should always be welcomed even if you ignore it, if not for viewers there would be no content and repetitive content like Jeff wastes my time and as his videos flyby fast over the same waypoints it is hard to notice changes. I have only so much time in a day to watch videos and would rather pilots miss a few days or even weeks than post wasting my time. The old adage quality over quantity is important in this game. Saying that it is nice to see randy back.

Thanks Randy. Family and your health come first! You do plenty and we all appreciate it.

Love your stuff Randy ... I can absolutely wait for your return in good shape ... something tells me this story has quite a way to go as the site progresses and I’ll be watching with you and the “squad “

I had an episode of adhesive encapsulitis or "frozen shoulder". Excruciating pain. If I tried to reach in a back pocket, the pain would take me to my knees. Lotsa physical therapy made it better. Then two weeks later the other shoulder did it. Fortunately, steroid shots and therapy made it go away, but if I tried to reach in a back pocket, the pain would take me to my knees. Hope you have as successful a recovery for whatever happened to you. We've missed you!

Yes, my doctor said that the Calcific Tendonitis I had could develop into frozen shoulder and the pain was so bad a couple of times where literally moving my arm an inch was excruciating. Glad you can relate but I'm sure we both wouldn't wish that kind of pain on anyone as it's one of the worst feelings one could experience for sure!

Hey Randy, you MUST MUST MUST MUST take of yourself and your family first. Period. That said, I've missed your videos and guided tour narration. Take your time, do what you need to do, and I (and I presume thousands of other viewers) look forward to your steady return.

Randy, missed you and your videos. I wish for you a speedy recovery and the smoothest housing move as one can half!

We really appreciate the work you're doing on these. Take care and hopefully the shoulder gets back to 100%.

Health and Family is all that counts in the end.

@ 14:50 Flooded splitter box pit shows the difficulty they will have trying to finish construction on the stormwater system during storms. (Top of screen) Looks like they will assemble rebar mat for splitter box on the surface, then lower it into the pit.

Isn’t that just a fresh mud slab? It isn’t really that hard of an install- they just need to sequence it properly and get a solid slab down quickly.

@@patrickkenny2077 Could be. My monitor sucks! Couldn't tell for sure if that was a fresh mud slab or water on top gravel. They recently placed a layer of gravel in there. If they can get the rebar mat down there, and the concrete slab poured, and it has time to set.... Great! Otherwise, they're screwed if it rains.

right about the 12 minute mark, you're seeing the construction changing to a truss system instead of columns and beams. typically used when spanning a wider area, yet still able to support heavy loads. a little edit here just to clarify, just finished watching Joe's update and he mentioned a model Y hanging from the "trusses". What he is referring to are called bar joists, technically they could be called a truss, but the bottom chord does not connect at the ends, I've never heard them called a truss on any job I've been involved on , just bar joists.

@eltonray2934

Many times tradesmen refer to things according to habit, such as sheetrock, a brand name for gypsum board. Bar joists have a web formed from a continuous bar bent into shape to form a truss. After reviewing several construction videos I did not see any bar joists being used, only trusses made up of steel sections welded together.

What we do without the knowledge of all the skilled tradesmen working this site. Amazing construction worker at this site should all get a new Tesla.

You sound tired, I wish you the best and while we love your updates, your health comes first!

Good having you back in the skies Randy!

Thanks, Randy, great video and I love the music, especially that last song, Jeremy Blake's Stardrive - you should play it more often. You can take videos after dusk and get some good views of the inside with no reflections in the windows. Take care.

I am glad you're recovering well and good luck on your move

Randy, considering you have the bad shoulder... Wouldn't it be better to hire some help for the move if you haven't already done that? You don't want to make the problem with the shoulder worse!

Movers were definitely hired, but with any move there are a ton of little things that still require you to get in there and do yourself. The move has been completed and we're still unpacking at the moment after tying up all the loose ends with our old property, so hopefully I'll be able to get back out later this week or next for sure.

Randy, 1 comment for future reference, the remark about the watervault at 02:00 is not correct, the excevation we saw in your last video was another one, that one is already finished and covered, then they started a new excevation next to it, that is this one. Dont blame you for missing that but just so you know.

You are correct, the first vault measures 16' X 24' and designated as secondary paint storage. The primary paint storage vault was installed in paint several months ago. The newer vault is 16' X 40' and the civil drawings did not specify it's use but it could store something from the cell manufacturing area. I doubt that either will store water.

Yeaaaaah! He is back.

brother be careful with pain medication, it's easy to get addicted to it.. wish you the best
