Weight, Build, Dig!

Weight, Build, Dig!

Welcome to Weight, Build, Dig! I’m Duane I have a wife and two daughters we live in Alabama.

This channel I will be building our home by myself without a contractor and developing our property.

I’ll be operating heavy equipment I love digging in the dirt. I do brush cutting with my skid steer.

Those are the things I love to do. One thing I’m going to work on is my weight. Which is how I came up with the name of my channel.

    I'm looking at something like that.. it's a 2017 cat 303.5 with a thumb, also come with a 24inch tooth bucket.. has 3,100 hours on it and they want 35,000 for it what do you think?

    With a cab? It really depends on the wear the machine is showing. There could be a machine with a 1000 hours and be wore out. So really you need to get on and operate it for a god 30 minutes and see how it does and look at if after you run it. Look for leaks or wierd sounds stuff like that. Make sure there is no slip in the bushings and pin.

    IRC max riser is 7.75”, and that’s steep enough. 8” for a main stair would fail inspection here. Also not rounding over the noses before you set the treads is a huge mistake 😵‍💫

    I made the mistake of buying a front wheel drive lawnmower and it will not happen again. If you are buying because of slopes, then do yourself a favor and be sure you buy a rear wheel drive mower. They do not work like cars do. The rwd models have so much better traction. I do not know if there is more weight on the rear wheels or not but they go so much better. Lesson learned for me.

    @weightbuilddig166 I found it. Left joystick needs linkage tightened and lubed. It started raining as I was backing off trailer. It was muddy and slick so I was creeping it back. As it tilted onto the ramps I looked forward to line it up if it were to slide and I saw the symbol go off a few seconds then realized when I go in reverse enough that it starts grabbing, the light stayed off. So when I get time to look into it I will let yall know what was up. Thank you and I will like and subscribe.

    So this has to happen for me this year. I see a lot of videos really pushing screws rather than compressor driven nail guns. Thoughts? For sure the screws are a little more expensive but no compressor, etc.

  • @weightbuilddig166
    @weightbuilddig1662 ай бұрын

    Yeah I like screws for somethings. I used them to install my ridge beam. Then again on the rafters just one in each to get them in place. Other then that I like using nails. If you don’t have a compressor you could buy the pasaload cordless framing nailer! You don’t need a compressor. It comes with a battery and charger for $399. Here in Alabama! Then you buy the gas fuel cell and your ready to go. I told myself that when I build again I’m going to buy one. I don’t have to wait for the compressor to recharge, or deal with the hose being tangled or not long enough. So anyway that my thoughts. Good luck with your build! What size building do you plan to build?

But hey; they threw in a bag of misc nuts and bolts that don’t even go with the running boards. And their customer service is a pathetic joke. Emails are a joke as well. So trying to get my mounting brackets may never happen. Do business with American made products.
