Matt, My wife and I are from central Pa, and we both love watching your videos! Just this evening, we were wondering what to watch on Tv, and she said, " Let's watch Diesel Creek!" Keep up the great videos!

The algorithm is throwing up these old videos I've never seen before. It's amazing to see how much work you've done and far you've come. Massive Respect from New Zealand!

Same for me love these older videos I'm watching it 4 years later never seen the older ones

Timestamp ~13:06 ... Okay, now THAT was a clever solution for dragging that shipping container along. I learned something from social media. Nice!

In all of my 66 yeays, I have never seeen an operator use a shipping container to grade a road. Now that's what I call thinkin' outside the box! Lol! See what I did there? 😃

Nothing like a good neighbor who can lend a hand when you need it

I have to admire you. Your the perfect example of the American dream. What someone can do given the opportunity to get ahead in life by believing in himself, taking some chances, and having some luck on his side. Life doesn't get any better than this. Look forward to your next taping.

That lift trailer is so Cool Matt 3:38 😎 @Diesel Creek

Nice to have good neighbors.

June 5, 2021, binge-watching Diesel Creek. It's going to be a good day.

I know it's a little late, but you would be amazed at how well things skid on a car/truck hood! Moved many HUGE rocks that way!

We had our first snowfall yesterday Oct 24, thus it is a good time to watch some of Matt’s earlier classic videos. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Looks like you got yourself a good neighbor .

Very nice Conex Box Matt 1:00 @Diesel Creek

Looking back now after two years of viewing and I'm impressed at how far your video technique has come. These are good videos but you definitely are more polished in your delivery now and your camera use is clever as can be! Always good to hear there's a new video from you, it's always a good one.

Matt, it's impressive how far you've come, how much your channel has grown. I'm doing a binge watch of all your videos. ❤

I know, here I am from the future again but they make wheels that clip into the hold down mounts in the lower corners then you just drag it like a trailer, sorta. That's how we just moved a couple of ours across the yard.

Two jobs at once. Moved the container and scraped your road!

WOW, a one man band

Another step to getting out the rain

Excellent music choice, as always 😂!!!

Thanks! And thank the Semi-Supervillains for making the music for the video!

Not too many people in this world could say “today i took a 40’ container for a drive thru the woods”. Great job.

You need a set of those magnet mirrors so when you doing a long reversing move like this moving a shipping container or something like it the magnet mirrors would make life simple

I think I would have built a simple axle with wheels that could be placed under the conex. Or built some runners from a pair of 6x6 timbers that ran front to back on each side. Using two dozers was a good idea. Too bad he couldn't help with that first one. Thanks for sharing the building of your shop with everyone. I know it adds a lot of work recording and editing the videos. And every one of those likes is acknowledgement of that extra work plus a big thank you for your taking this on.

It's fun to go back and watch how far you've come with this property. It's a hell of a lot of work but it sure is worth it for your own place eh?

I like the way you think !

I was a nervous wreck watching you do this! I've seen the end result, and know you didn't lose anything, but when the newest one tilted, I about lost it! Had to remind myself - YOU DO GOOD WORK!

2.10, It is really nice having a great neighbor to assist you when needed. Prayers for him and his family. be safe... k

It’s amazing what one person is capable of with brains and the right equipment..!

Impressive, and you’re doing all this by yourself. Kudos to you.

You do an Amazing job considering you are doing everything by yourself! I am trying to catch each video you have!! Again, awesome job!!

It's amazing what you accomplish normally by yourself.

How neat ! I would never have thought of using a shipping container and a log to level my driveway, but then I don't even have a shipping container or a bulldozer to move it around.

Jeez Mat, things have moved on in two years eh? Well done fella, keep it up.

I love your work ethic young man. I wish you'd give your first name when you start your videos then I can mention you by name in my posts. Can't wait for updates on your container barn and the church project. Again, you're one hard working dude.

Great job at putting hour new Conex-Box on the farm and in its new home! Well done, Matt!

Brilliant video, Matt. I love the way that you solved the logistical problems involved with those moves. Genius, sir.

Your projects are awesome

In the future if you ever do that again. Get you a mobile home axle. Widen it out so the container will sit down on the axle tube. You may have to strengthen it Abit. But for off-road moving your not going fast anyhow. So it should hold up. The hook your dozer on the other end and tow it like a trailer

Great job man moving shipping containers perseverance wins the day matt great work and video son 💯👍🏻🇬🇧

I must say seeing this. This is thinking outside the box.

A truly herculean effort by everyone involved . You never give up - do you!! Looking forward to seeing the remainder of this build. Keep up the good work Matt!! Stay safe and well!

I’m Impressed with the log solution and the fact that you did this on your own and made a video . I just wish I had married someone like you . He just doesn’t do manual work or has any logic when doing any job so I’m glad he gave up trying to . I’ve always worked with practical men as the only girl in the sound department I am now one of their bosses . As usual I have to go through the challenge ‘ can she do the job’ . Only the other week I had to prove that I can still swing a boom . It’s just technique , you don’t have to be a body builder or look like a bloke . My husband and is a big producer so he does all the big decision making and the more I hear it sounds like he is fitting in quite well with all the ‘lovies’ who creep around him just looking for their next job . In fact two girlies are taking him out for dinner this weekend so he can’t come up north to celebrate my birthday . To be honest I’d rather be part of a day like yours than listen to them hanging on his every word .

The best tip i know of for moving shopping containers is two have two old truck axles or steel tube with wheel hubs welded onto them and chain and binder or ratchet strap them to the far end lifting twist lock pocket so you have a 40ft trailer with wheels at each end and attach a chain onto the lower front twist lock pockets

I’ll say one thing you accomplish a lot as a one man band kudos to you

I love shipping containers, they're inexpensive ready built buildings. I also use a 24ft van body off of a cargo truck for firewood storage right next to my outdoor wood broiler. Perfect for keeping the snow off and easy to toss in the burner. They also make racking that you can hang shelves in the storage containers. Look at the loops around the top edge to hang them. You're handy enough to build what you need because they can be expensive, but I got lucky and had a container delivered with half a load of the brackets. They never checked the container when it was leaving apparently. Freebies for me.

You don’t need a grader when you can drag a ConX box. I want one of those trailers :)

Hi my name is Kelly and I lived just outside Marietta ,Ohio so I know that part of beautiful country always loved fall when the leaves change color but didn't care for the red clay. Just wanted to say that I love the hillbilly ingenuity. Nicely done

Done this with 40 footers a few times, don't restrain roller log, container rolls over top as long or post rolls along ground, quick ,easy, no hassles Container is only about 3.5 ton all up, so easy to lift 1 end , pop roller log or post under, move 30 to 35 feet, repeat process,if you have a couple of rollers or more you don't have to relift each step, just run continually I've done this with a little tired 1.5 ton forklift,small tractors whatever Final positioning is easier if the 40 footer is rocking over a roller for most of the transition, get one end right, then find tune the last end. cheers

I moved that gray one like that when I got it about 5 years ago. Got it into position with just my skid loader

I believe your neighbor is in the witness protection program. 😎

...not that long. It was worth it watching a genius at work...

Cool video showing your dozer front and rear.

Cool idea and great execution of it.

It’s looking great

Pretty cool maneuvering!!

Nice work man!!!

The stepping out to the edge to look at the back; when the dozer walks on.. that's cool..And, man I'd blurr out the complete video with a help like that

Hats off to you.

Graded your road with that drag.. nice. Cool toys you have there.

I hadn't seen this before you had the containers, great job.

sweet!

If I had to pay, I could never afford this - entertainment? - knowledge? - Appreciation!

Thank you for not "Flintstoning" the second one back there!

Such great ideas you had to move the container. You are really a smart guy, Matt. I love how you think.

Hey watching you move the 40 foot container just a suggestion for next time notice you pickup with log I suggest that you make 2 axesals one for either side you can slip under and tow it around 😉 😜

Your vids are never too long in my opinion. I enjoy them immensely.

Looks like the start of a good shop.

I'm quite sure, you could get one in the UK, we had a smaller one at the Scouts way back in the 80's in Rotterdam. Although I never seen the rig-truck and trailer here as well, but hey, murica.

very nice job. love to have that set up at my place.

Catching up on earlier videos - so much work. Just that one log dragging in the dirt did way better than I would ever have imagined! (Dunno know if commenting on older videos helps the ratings - hope so since I'll be watching whatever I can find!)

you are magic!

I follow you and watch you all the time im in the UK you make impossible possible keep it up brother 🙏happy life my friend

I moved my 20 footer a couple hundred feet down a slope with my Chevy 2500. :-P. Next I have 2 of them I will be placing a distance apart and putting a roof over them. To move them this time I will winch them by hand. I will place them on logs to roll them and also use snatch blocks.

I think I would have grabbed the rear end of a truck and fabricobled a container trailer with it. But the rear wheels under one end, use the dozer to lift and pull the other end. The diff in the rear axel will eliminate slipping between the two wheels. and them being wheels would prevent the gouging off the ground.

Looking at the 2 boxes with the roof joist never thought of the concrete blocks for footers that's a slick idea wondering if you sloped the boxes for drainage off the top or if your going to extend the roof over the boxes. Then my wife walks in and got to explain to her what I'm watching and what your doing. We like it !!!

That’s the only gravely I have but can see why people collect them, stout little machine. Got that maybe 3 years ago and only used it once or twice.. thinking it will be useful around fence line

,you should have put one of your 20 ft trailer under it and chain containers to trailer and pick up other end with the winch on dozer

Love the video, hate the noise of distorted guitars all the time. We either fast forward past it or have to keep turning it down. You don't need it at all.
