Or maybe a dump trailer in the meantime. If I had it to do over, I would have bought a dump trailer instead of a car hauler. The truck definitely has its place, but I think I could do ABOUT as well with a trailer.... about.
@@curtwhite876 I agree, everything I haul on my car hauler could be put in a dump trailer. But, part of what we do here is make the best of what we have for now
That’s a nice pond you all built! I absolutely love what I think is your Dads Ford tractor, definitely would like to see more on that thing! The truck sure sounded good pulling out of that dip loaded. Projects looking good! Take care!
Thanks Ben. Yes, the pond turned out really Nice and they take great care of it. That is my dad's tractor. Been around and done a lot of work for us through the years. Thanks for checking it out!
Hey thanks a bunch I appreciate the feedback Jeff. These projects are very fun to work on and painful to pay for but worth it in the long run! Glad to have you watching sir!
As always, Great segment! Great to see you back to doing jobs. 15-20 min clips turned into multiple videos are cool! Just happy to have some of this type of media. Have a great Labor Day
Thanks Don. Yes, we are lucky to have so many willing friends. Years of favors back and forth in both directions pays off usually. We live in a very borrow and lend friendly community too.
Appreciate it Jason! I don't know how Joe managed to not show up in any of that round of videos but maybe we can get him to stop by as the barn progresses. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice job guys I love the way you guys work nice and clean like a pro . Down here in Puerto Rico people whants to do miracles with low budget hahaha but well it is what it is , congrat 4 all your hard and nice job . Puerto Rico in Da house ✌🤝
Dayum you are bossy Neil! Personally, I like the long format videos better. I know they are more time consuming and a pain in the ass to edit, but I find them more enjoyable. The rationale being, I like to collect 4 or 5 videos from my favorite creators and sit down and watch them through as kinda like a treat. Making an evening of it as it were. However, I'd still watch 5 minute videos of you rolling the trash cans out to the curb. Your world brother, I just live in it. You do what makes you happy. I would still like to get Greg on the phone and discuss your "authoritarian" issues.
Ha! When it comes to dirt moving I get to be the boss. When it comes to electrical work my brother gets to be the boss. When it comes to issues at our job Greg gets to be the boss. When it comes to everything else at home or in life, my wife is the boss! 😜 Thanks for the feedback on video length. I hear both ways so I guess I'll just stick to whatever suits me for now and make a half of people happy! 😉
Wow, if you hauled 16 loads in @ 1/2hr / load, that activity alone took up the day. Definitely impressive amount of work you guys got done hitting it together.
Yes, I hauled from about 8am until 8 pm actually and even had one equipment move in there. That project wrap video will hopefully be tomorrow morning if I get my editing done. Thanks so much for watching!
Looks good doesn't it! It's got some aqua-blue dye in it. Helps it to keep the algae down by letting more sunlight penetrate to greater depths too. Just don't get the dye on your shoes!! They'll be blue forever :)
Appreciate it Steve. Lots of folks are buying dirt around here now too. Seems like whenever you want it you have to pay for it and when you want to get rid of it you got to pay somebody to take it away!
Neil… I wish that I had your problems of too much good soil and rain in the summertime. If you saw Brandon’s (Elite Earthworks) latest Frost Footing Dig video… you can see exactly what my soil looks like. It is rare to have to strip topsoil to build roads or pads. You are working in a valley or creek bottom if you need to strip more than 3”! And rain? We are located just west of where the moist air from the gulf makes its turn east. That puts us in the vortex where it meets the moist air that you get, from the Pacific. The resulting high pressure dome expels air like a Rain-X windshield. That’s where we sit every summer… until it cools enough up north to pull the moisture through here… that is also why we have so many tornados in the spring and fall while the dome is establishing its boundaries. But, enough about our polar opposites. Let’s talk about our shared experiences… Moving the doghouse… I built one once out of full dimension lumber, wood lap siding, fully insulated with 3/4” plywood interior walls. I finished the roof with insulation sandwiched between 3/4” inner/outer plywood with composite shingles on the top. It also had an electrical receptacle inside where a lightbulb could be installed to keep it warm. A Thermo-cube was on the outside turn it on, only when it was cold. The crowning touch was to flatten out a Busch beer can and nail it over the doorway… that was the bloodhound tenants name. I had built it in my patio with 4X4 runners underneath. The neighbors all marveled at my engineering and building prowess. I was thoroughly satisfied with this weeklong project. On Saturday morning, my buddy came by to get it. We grabbed a beer and that’s when reality hit. You see, it rained on Friday night. There was about 60 feet of soggy lawn between the patio and the alleyway where he had parked. As we were discussing logistics, he reached down and tried to lift the front. It was all he could do to get it off the concrete. So, we scrapped our plans to carry it and grabbed another beer to fuel our brainstorm. A neighbor who liked beer too, came over to help us plot our next move. He came up with an excellent plan. How about putting screw eyes in the front of the runners… attaching a rope and pulling it to the alley with his 10 horsepower Craftsman riding lawnmower? We jumped right on it. Once rigged, he put it in gear and proceeded to bury the donut sized rear tires to the axles. Another neighbor had been watching and brought over his 6-Pack to help with the project. Between the four of us, we managed to get the tractor unstuck and out of the yard. We then grabbed the ropes and started tugging the doghouse. With two of us pulling on each runner we managed to get it to the alley. Being three beers deep in the project… we hadn’t taken into account that the next move would entail a change in elevation into the pickup bed… but, that’s where we were. Fortunately, we had more beer snd a set of ramps that had been built to load the 10 HP Craftsman riding lawnmower. With that, we were able to eventually get the doghouse loaded into the pickup. As soon as it was loaded, the neighbors disappeared along with their rope and leftover can of beer. My buddy wobbled to his truck. As he started to climb inside his muddy sole slipped off the threshold and he scraped his shin from ankle to knee. After a few minutes of adult rated shuckey-darns and gee-whizzes it occurred to him that perhaps we should pull the pickup to the edge of the alley and go watch football instead. I thought that was a capital idea. I don’t remember who was playing that afternoon… and I certainly don’t remember who won. What I do remember is my wife and daughters coming home just before dusk to find muddy shoes at the door and two guys sleeping peacefully in their recliners with infomercials playing in the TV. She offered to drive my buddy home while my daughters and I picked up beer cans and tidied up the back yard. Come Sunday morning his wife brought him by to get his pickup. I grabbed a couple of aspirin, loaded the neighbors ramps and climbed in. The unloading was flawlessly executed with the help of a come along and our State Blue Laws that prohibited the sale of beer on Sunday! Neil, I didn’t turn into a professional doghouse builder or mover. Which may very well explain why I also didn’t become an alcoholic! I, for one, like multi-part videos. As long as they aren’t just repetitive tasks that add no interest. That is one thing I struggle with when doing mine. The corn knife series that I just did is a case in point. I was trying to tell the story of an 8 year old finding, fixing and getting to keep his first real knife. Mixing in enough ‘How to’ without obscuring the storyline is tough for me because I usually enjoy the journey much more than the destination. (However in this one the destination was far more enjoyable.) You have been excellent on the multi-part stories that you’ve done. I wish I had your presentation skills. I say go for it!
Oh boy, I have been involved in many a tale much like you describe. Sometimes it seems the more help you have and the more beverages consumed don't necessarily contribute to the success likelihood of the endeavor. But, usually there is memorable story that will memorialize the effort and it sounds like that even in the absence of the dog house you've still got that! That dog house that we moved has a similar construction to the one you built. My Dad built it for my brother's first dog with left over materials from the new build. It was a nice piece of craftsmanship but the dog wasn't impressed apparently. I don't remember if it was even a week but that dog was obviously bored as he sat inside his new home. He began ripping apart the interior decor and found that the insulation inside was a hidden tasty treat. Unfortunately this insulation was not the edible type and and he had ingested enough that it resulted in the dog's untimely demise. It was sad but that dog wasn't the scholar of the litter if you know what I mean. Fortunately the kids weren't old enough to be too attached at that point either. We are blessed to have so much topsoil. Where we live is a giant prehistoric lake bed that results in 6-8 inches of silty topsoil and then really heavy clay. Great for building ponds! But if you want to grow grass you need to save that topsoil. I've seen that's stuff in Brandon's videos. Very foreign to us around here but I got to experience some of that different stuff when I went to visit Kleeman. I'm glad to have what we do based on that effort! Thanks for your feedback on the multi-part video. I see some folks that like to watch a big long video of an entire project start to finish and then other folks will say they like the smaller bits and pieces. I for one don't like the really long videos but we are all in different situations with different time restraints. I value your opinion above most others because of your dedicated support of this channel and many others like it. Thanks for your feedback and terrific comments and stories. You'll get to see much more that barn coming up very soon.
@@digdrivediy yes sir… and as a bonus, a noted artist named Bob Tommey was the neighbor to Busch snd my buddy. He did an oil painting of Busch and his doghouse in exchange for some masonry work. I have s print of it stored someplace safe! I outgrew the drinking to excess stage at about 29 yrs old. An ulcer caused by alcohol cured me. I was worried about the dog eating the insulation that is why I paneled the inside with plywood. Some years later, In an attempt to make a lighter weight doghouse, I used styrofoam panels. Even with chicken wire nailed over it, the dog shredded it. There is a correlation that I heard… The amount of progress made is inversely affected by the volume of alcohol consumed. However, the amount of mischief produced varies by consumption squared. I think I proved both the regressive and progressive ends of that theorem, in my youth! See you next week.
Another great video Neil! Your changing camera angles add a great prospective I know what you are talking about “ you would think counting to 15 would be easy”. I guess that’s what happens when you are racing against time. I wish we were closer two trucks would cut some time 😁 take care my friend!
I would have loved to take you up on that Mike. We had another truck we hoped to line up for this day but it broke down the week prior. A bigger truck could have helped too... If I had a bigger truck then maybe I wouldn't have so much trouble counting... Thanks as always!
It's just so easy in the clay based soils we have. No liner required. Basically just dig a hole and it will fill up and hold water! There are lots of ponds around here in areas that need the drinking water cause of a sulfur well. Fortunately we don't have that but ponds are still popular.
You're kidding! What brand is it? It had been reworked from it's original configuration by the farmer owner. Glad you spotted that Keith and thanks for sharing Keith.
@@digdrivediy if I'm not mistaken it was an Ashland scraper, would've been made by Ashland Industries out of Ashland, WI. Check out their RUclips channel when you get a chance, you'll get to see some of the stuff we build now. Thanks for the great content BTW!
13:00 - in this shot, the ground looks shockingly spongey under all that weight. Is that an optical illusion, or is that really what dirt is like? What surprised me is the rebound.
Now we see where the shorts video from a few weeks ago came from. Just think how many scoops it would take to fill the box on that General you were talking about. You'd have to get a bigger backhoe for it...don't listen to me I'm a bad influence haha
Great video as always. I think you just about have to break some of these videos up because most of us are like you and we have to do it over several days (or weeks). I don't spend near the time you do editing, but when I have done the long videos it is an editing nightmare. Give us some shorts of the other projects in between thee long ones.
I'm glad to hear you say it. Yes, the longer videos can be very tiresome to edit and to me they feel like they drone on and on. I want to keep them interesting if I can. And these projects do take us a long time when only working on the weekends so helps me to stretch out some content too! Thanks so much for watching I really appreciate it!
It can always be bigger! My building is 36'X56' and I wish it were bigger too. I call it the poor man's 40X60. But, I'm very thankful to have it. Thanks for watching!
Awesome Jim! Thanks for watching with your coffee. I'm not sure on that free stuff yet. I've received a couple things in exchange for promotion but haven't done too much of it yet. Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks so much. The best sounding audio that you hear in this video is from the Rode Wireless Go mic system. They are really awesome. When not using those my second best audio is from a MOVO camera mounted shotgun mic. A close second so the shotgun mic is audio from my Pixel 3 phone! This video has shots from 3 different cameras (4 with drone but no audio) but the wireless mic is the best setup for the most part. Thanks for watching!
Cool Video..I am not a big fan of multi part videos my sels but others may be..I had Rather watch one 45-60 min video rather the 4-5 little shorties..but thats just me Unless its like a second part Redy to go back to back Type a deal then i dont really mind..
Thanks for the feedback. I'm always curious how many folks prefer the longer format. Some day I'll do some longer videos I hope. Thanks for watching regardless.
Downvoted and not watched - 360p in 2021 doesn't work for me. Normally I watch each episode completely and "like". At 360p video's look like crap on everything but a phone, which I rarely use for watching video's.
Dang it! I completely agree with you Curtis. This was filmed in 1080 and for whatever reason RUclips hasn't processed the HD version yet. I uploaded it last night and usually it is done before it posts but something is wrong. Hang in there and give it a shot once it is done processing and let me know if it looks better. Thanks for letting me know cuz I didn't realize it wasn't posted in HD until you said something. Dang it.
Your attention to detail in your videos are the best! I love the processs a w watchibg you work the plan! Im a fan!
All I got to say is that is one nice Bobcat!
You got that right! It's the best Bobcat I've ever borrowed!!!
Loved all the angles, especially the one with the soil deformation under the truck. The little things really make these videos.
Appreciate it James.
Anytime i can watch you working with dirt, its a joy to watch. You make it looks so fun!
Man... now I’m thinking of how handy a dump truck would be for my farm!
I don't know what I would do without my dump trucks over the years. When you get it you won't know how you got along without it!
Or maybe a dump trailer in the meantime. If I had it to do over, I would have bought a dump trailer instead of a car hauler. The truck definitely has its place, but I think I could do ABOUT as well with a trailer.... about.

Hey I really appreciate it Brandon!
Your brothers property looks beautiful. The pole barn will be real handy for sure!
Most definitely! I don't know how he went so long without it! His place looks pretty good for being just a bare field 10 years ago.
Someday I'd love a video on your Dad's equipment. Especially that tractor. Maybe your Father in laws old 9N as well
That’s a nice pond you all built! I absolutely love what I think is your Dads Ford tractor, definitely would like to see more on that thing! The truck sure sounded good pulling out of that dip loaded. Projects looking good! Take care!
Thanks Ben. Yes, the pond turned out really Nice and they take great care of it. That is my dad's tractor. Been around and done a lot of work for us through the years. Thanks for checking it out!
looks like a nice project.loved the way you killed the grass ,it showed the area needed for building .
That works out well when you want to reuse that sod. Breaks up nicely.
Your brother has an Awesome property 👍🏻, will be another fun project to follow 👍🏻🙂
They really do have a nice place! Thanks!
Multi-part viseos give you something to look forward to. You make all this look so easy. I have a project like this in my future. Great job!!

Very nice property and as always a great video.
Thanks a lot Dan!
from the Netherlands thanks for the video Neil
You bet!
As always, Great segment!
Great to see you back to doing jobs.
15-20 min clips turned into multiple videos are cool!
Just happy to have some of this type of media.
Have a great Labor Day
Thank you very much! I was worried that these kind of jobs got boring to watch so glad to hear it. Happy Labor Day!
That's a big project, looking forward to more of the project. Cool you have the resources and connections for equipment and material.
Thanks Don. Yes, we are lucky to have so many willing friends. Years of favors back and forth in both directions pays off usually. We live in a very borrow and lend friendly community too.
@@digdrivediy That's awesome, your past videos tell that story as well. It's good to see that community helping each other out.
That is an awesome pond!
Thanks Mike! They keep it really nice and we all use the heck out of that pond. It may deserve a little video of its own here soon.
Great video. Good to see Nate in it as well. You two are doing good work as usual. Can't wait to see the progress each week.
Appreciate it Jason! I don't know how Joe managed to not show up in any of that round of videos but maybe we can get him to stop by as the barn progresses. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just wait until the dog sees the size of his new house! And now he’s got a lake front vacation house too. I’ll tell ya that’s a lucky dog😂
You're telling me! He was running around like he owns the place the entire time! Good to see ya!
@@digdrivediy I mean let’s be honest, doesn’t he? 😂😂 happy Sunday and enjoy your holiday!
I look forward to multi part videos!
Great to know Jimmy! I'm thankful for that for these next couple videos then!
Nice job guys I love the way you guys work nice and clean like a pro . Down here in Puerto Rico people whants to do miracles with low budget hahaha but well it is what it is , congrat 4 all your hard and nice job . Puerto Rico in Da house ✌🤝

Prices are crazy right now but they are getting a little better as we enter the fall. Maybe it would be cheaper to get a new quote now.
Great video as always. I think you just about have to break some of these videos up because most of us are like you and we have to do it over several days (or weeks). I don't spend near the time you do editing, but when I have done the long videos it is an editing nightmare. Give us some shorts of the other projects in between thee long ones.
I'm glad to hear you say it. Yes, the longer videos can be very tiresome to edit and to me they feel like they drone on and on. I want to keep them interesting if I can. And these projects do take us a long time when only working on the weekends so helps me to stretch out some content too! Thanks so much for watching I really appreciate it!
Did your brother spray down the grass where he wants the building
Yes he did. Makes it much easier to deal with the sod once removed.
Plant the trees - trees = live, no trees = huricane
My building is 36x48. i had him also quote 36X56. I should have gone larger.
The dog wants his house moved back.
It can always be bigger! My building is 36'X56' and I wish it were bigger too. I call it the poor man's 40X60. But, I'm very thankful to have it. Thanks for watching!
I love the dog house! Is he/she a chocolate lab or a Chesapeake Bay Retriever?
A silver lab I believe.
Keep them coming. I watch on Sunday morning while enjoying coffee. Any idea how many subscribers it takes to start getting free stuff? 😀
Awesome Jim! Thanks for watching with your coffee. I'm not sure on that free stuff yet. I've received a couple things in exchange for promotion but haven't done too much of it yet. Thanks for watching!
There is a lot of difference between clay and dirt.
Maybe that's why sod hasn't greened up.
The story of my life!
What size and model dump truck you using? Or better yet, what's a good size dump truck to have, 7 yard?
Mine is an F-750 with automatic. I think it is a great size for a small guy.
👍
👍👍
Sweet looking dump truck. Is that an automatic transmission in it.
Thanks! Yes it is an auto.
Playing Capt Kleeman means you must have broke a mirror on your dump truck…..lol
Ha! Yeah fortunately I wasn't doing a perfect impersonation!
since nobody here said the one word that needs to be said. " HI " in response, also waves for good measure to be polite.
👋👋Hi David! I'm sure she will appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
That corn better hurry up and tassel, running out of GDD fast.
It's double crop corn.
Neil, I really enjoy your videos...very professional! What mics are you using? They sound great. Keep up the good work! Doug@jd toys
Hey thanks so much. The best sounding audio that you hear in this video is from the Rode Wireless Go mic system. They are really awesome. When not using those my second best audio is from a MOVO camera mounted shotgun mic. A close second so the shotgun mic is audio from my Pixel 3 phone! This video has shots from 3 different cameras (4 with drone but no audio) but the wireless mic is the best setup for the most part. Thanks for watching!
Dog was not happy with the moving of his kennel!
No, he was a little out of sorts for a bit!
Cool Video..I am not a big fan of multi part videos my sels but others may be..I had Rather watch one 45-60 min video rather the 4-5 little shorties..but thats just me Unless its like a second part Redy to go back to back Type a deal then i dont really mind..
Thanks for the feedback. I'm always curious how many folks prefer the longer format. Some day I'll do some longer videos I hope. Thanks for watching regardless.
First
Congrats! 👍🏻
Downvoted and not watched - 360p in 2021 doesn't work for me. Normally I watch each episode completely and "like". At 360p video's look like crap on everything but a phone, which I rarely use for watching video's.
Dang it! I completely agree with you Curtis. This was filmed in 1080 and for whatever reason RUclips hasn't processed the HD version yet. I uploaded it last night and usually it is done before it posts but something is wrong. Hang in there and give it a shot once it is done processing and let me know if it looks better. Thanks for letting me know cuz I didn't realize it wasn't posted in HD until you said something. Dang it.
@@digdrivediy All good, I was surprised it wasn't a normal resolution. Thanks for following up, as I do enjoy your content. Have a great day.
