    Thanks for the different camera angles and all the explaining you do.
    I can now hear the wind, as compared to seeing the wind pushing the water into ripples. Jackets. No sun glasses mean over cast day. Teamwork all around, no goofing around, just straightforward work, and nice speaking for children and ladies to hear. Thank you.

    Love the bucket. I’ve used one similar with a hydraulic trap door. Hope you got everything cleaned up from splatter! It can be a mess. Nice work Chris 👍🏻

    Love these videos! It would be helpful for many to describe the equipment you are using for the day. Type, horsepower, model. And which bucket and why. It would be very instructional. Thanks for the great work.

      That's what I was thinking. Easily 30k sqft of potential slabs right there. I'm just wondering how it would look and how strong it may be. If that was mine, my luck it be very brittle Sandy stuff.

    Chris: It's not everyday you see a spillway made out of solid granite:) Me: Yep, I have spillways, and granite shelves under my lawns, in the bush, under my ponds, in the way, under my house and garages, under the trees and let's not forget under the hilly part of my driveway. I'm in Northern Ontario and it is worse on the Granite Planet aka Newfoundland

    @randallparker8477 4 года назад +4

    A family friend in Wyoming inherited a 800 acre parcel in rural country northeast of Laramie. His wife found a hill with a view at the end of a small valley out of the wind. She wanted her "getaway dream house" built there. When they started to do assessments of the ground they found solid granite or whatever rock. It was going to be a 90 x 90 basement foundation... the rock slab was 50 x 80 and was at least 9 feet deep. So they dug the basement off of one end and the dream house became a log home with a crawl space, 90 x 90. It was a half basement under the house with the other half daylighted under his rv barn. The other side of the house had a small deck over the largest granite patio I ever saw. LOL

    Brevard, NC has a huge slab like that in the middle of a river. It's called Sliding Rock. We used to slide down it when we were kids. You would hit the bottom and it was so cold if you didnt know how to swim you learned real fast.
