I think its funny how Chris always gets what he needs nobody ever seems to tell him no or give him a hard time. If he needs something he knows a guy if that guy doesn't have it he knows a guy who knows a guy who does. Need a screener? I got one of those...need a rock crusher? I dont have one but I know who does ill get it no problem I can even get it delivered and picked up. You only need 2 days? Ill get you 4. When Your word is solid your work ethic is on point and you make sure to treat other peoples equipment better than your own nothing becomes impossible.
Thats the way I work. Ill do anything for a good honest person like charlie, when I call him needing something you can bet he will do whatever he can to make it happen.
I have been watching your videos for 5 or 6 years and enjoy them. These last two may be my favorites. You have some good friends. Justin, Charlie and your Uncle John all seem like real good guys. Your lucky to have those friends and the many more you probably have.
I've been looking at it for a good while now, looks like its separated in different sections so each different operation only endures its own vibration, to ensure vibrations dont go all the way through.
I think they use 5 minute epoxy instead of LokTite... By the time the next maintenance cycle is due, the bolts have just about broken free of the epoxy...
The wide angle shot down low of the excavator picking up the concrete is awesome. The quality of your videos have come so far. It’s obvious that you’ve put a lot of work into it.
Not only when you work for yourself but it’s just a trait that people have! That’s one of the things I catch at my worksites the ones that come and work and the ones that come to collect a check! The check collectors don’t usually last long
@@brianwebber7168 But then you must ask yourself, was all the work worth it? Did you do what you wanted to do? Did you make a difference, who did you help? I am still young and I ask myself these things every day.
Chris you need to tell Charlie he’s a damn good videographer and all around very good friend to set you up with all the different equipment,great job as always 😎😎😎👍👍👍
That made for some nice, clean looking rock to spread. I'll echo admiration for the old-school work ethic, too. Nice to see it carried on in such fashion.
@@JustinmWhitman Yearhhhhh but not when it comes to veeeery OLDSCHOOL ! :D :D did you see that video with the red/orange OOOOOOOOLD excavator from the 40/50´ies he was trying that did not went so well I think BUT !!!!! I truely admire he´s hoenest GO-On Mode for trying to operate it :O I really think it was hard to learn operating such a thing in the old days :O :D
Love these daily videos. How you do it, I don't know. All you kids watching....this is how you get the American dream. Hard work! It's not handed to you.
The more I watch this channel, the more I feel someone needs to create a "Let's Dig 18 Simulator" game. So much opportunity here! Keep up the great work!
You and Charlie did a great job. Thank you so very much for the entertainment that you have provided me over the last couple of years. I have learned a lot.
Yard we had at the welding shop was crushed concrete-- it got really sloppy wet, and we "levelled" it best we could.. and let it dry-- covered it with a thin layer of 57 granite... it set so hard you could sweep the 57s off... and a crawler on it would break the 57 stone as it moved...
One of the things I love about you and your videos is how, when you’re using someone else’s equipment, how contentious you are if it. You could have been dropping BIG bucketfuls in it but you made sure they were smaller, slower than normal.
That saved the customer some money you got a decent amount of area covered with that crushed concrete. The problem with forklifts once you spin your wheels and sink your done. So you paid Charlie 40 dollars per hour to be crusher man, probably a good thing he ran the crusher while you loaded it.
I really like watching your videos. You have intirely to much fun. I use to operate excavators and gradealls for paving and landscaping. I miss it. The boom was like my own thumb and arm. It was awesome to look back at the finished result.
Nice.... Turning that mess into house lots.... that crusher is awesome.... and I expect a maintenance nightmare as well and outrageously expensive to purchase.... great friends you have
I wish our roadworkers worked as hard and were as organised as Chris. My work takes me to numerous construction and roadworks sites. The difference between a high rise site and a roadworks site is stunning. We've had critical roadways out of commission for years. Drove past the roadworks in question the other day and counted over 20 heavy machinery units sitting idle. One guy was tying off concrete ties while another 20 or so were standing around in groups of two or three. Only two excavators were working. There was plenty of work could have been done simultaneously on the 5km (3 mile) long site but nothing, as usual, was happening on 95% of the site. Major high rises go up in a matter of months and the site is very organised, efficient and safe. No one stands around. Our roadworks sites, on the other hand, operate at a snail's pace with people and equipment standing idle more often than working. I guess it's the difference between private enterprise and publicly-funded projects.
Great to see Charlie , he certainly is quite the business man , willing to invest and try things that not everyone would take on ! My uncle would say that in business you have to speculate to accumulate and Charlie sure does that !
I can't believe you're finally done with it, that job was hard work and hard on your equipment. Hope the owners are happy and you have more work for them in the future.
Honestly if he had to rent that crusher at full rental and delivery rates he’d lose money that pile isn’t big enough. Not sure what kind of deal his buddy gave him but that pile is just way to small under normal circumstances.
Chris Can you break out the cost/advantages of crushing the concrete vs hauling it off. Curious if this is something we need to do being in a similar situation in our site. Thx
ngl, I love watching at 2x (or using a plugin, faster) speed and it feels like a gopro mounted on a tonka size vehicle with the scale of speed. Very fun to watch, keep being awesome :)
@@sandybarnes887 He kind of covered it. A real break down in numbers, truck loads cost of new stone But that would be a pain to do. This a good ideal if you can reuse the stone on the same project or truck it to another.
I don't know about everyone else, but I love seeing and hearing the machines "walk". I come here from my interest in tanks, I love all things tracked now, especially the ones that have a form of turret or rotating body. I really love the thunka-thunka-thunka sound of the Volvos
The time lapse was fantastic! I really love your videos, Chris. Nothing like a long day at work and then come home, crack a cold one and watch you work. Strange but really nice. I appreciate a job well done. CHEERS!
Wish i could work 4 someone like u or John. Y'alls name must speak volumes. An that's gotta be a good feeling. Best of luck to ya sir!!!!!. Been watching from the start. Love the equipment in a line!!!!!
Charlie comes through again. Chris, you're blessed to have the friends you have.

Y motto is if you are borrowing something and break it you fix it that way you can use it again

Could you tell him you need a Copperhead Marine video?
Simple, Right is right & wrong is nobody’s right
Once the parking lot gets rain, boy she'll be harder then heck. almost a concrete pad that crusher works very well

You have some good friends. Justin, Charlie and your Uncle John all seem like real good guys. Your lucky to have those friends and the many more you probably have.
I can only imagine how maintenance intensive that crusher must be. The constant pounding and vibrating is enough to make LokTite run and hide.
I've been looking at it for a good while now, looks like its separated in different sections so each different operation only endures its own vibration, to ensure vibrations dont go all the way through.

Lots of farmers use it in their yards, it’s a great surface when your moving equipment and don’t want to deal with mud
The man is working for himself and talks about doing extra work on his lunch break. Got to love someone who is a hard worker.
When your working for yourself that comes with the territory.
Not only when you work for yourself but it’s just a trait that people have! That’s one of the things I catch at my worksites the ones that come and work and the ones that come to collect a check! The check collectors don’t usually last long

I was impressed by how fast the crushing went....I know the small size helps buts still that’s a lot of concrete.
Got to love Charlie he is a great friend and no doubt funny as hell. The kind of guy you want to have a beer with and listen to his stories.
This job came out looking great. Hope the drone can be repaired it shows the full scope of the job and is enjoyed by many. Good luck with it!

Another job well done. Your customers definitely get their money’s worth when they hire you!
Crusher is an Animal. I can see how Crusher can keep Concrete out of Landfills and use for Fill.👍
The more I watch this channel, the more I feel someone needs to create a "Let's Dig 18 Simulator" game. So much opportunity here! Keep up the great work!
I think that all concrete should be ground up and re-used . I've seen roads ground up used for base the new roads . 500 K for that new whooo .
Charlie is a great friend to go to all that no matter how much you paid him. He cares about the work, like you.
Hi I'm here too! 🙋♀️
I can't miss any new videos from Chris. They help me fall asleep. 😉😴
Nice job again Chris! 😎👍
A true >>>Republican! ......understands the value of a job!
Nice work Chris. What a great way to put to use a bunch of old concrete that was likely long forgotten.
You and Charlie did a great job. Thank you so very much for the entertainment that you have
provided me over the last couple of years. I have learned a lot.
Thanks for including us in the process. Nice save on the concrete

Real nice work! Well done! That's a real sweet tractor you got yourself. I hope and wish you many many years of trouble free Dozing & Digging!
Who ever did the final lift of stone with dozer did a good job. Need a heavy rain to compact the dry concrete. Then a big roller to finish compact
You know the coolest people, Chris. Thank you for sharing.
They accept concrete at our landfill and have contractors doing exactly what you did to divert it from the landfill, the city uses it for roadbeds
He is a one band wrecking leveling, and land grading man, the site looks amazing, enjoyed every minute
One of the things I love about you and your videos is how, when you’re using someone else’s equipment, how contentious you are if it. You could have been dropping BIG bucketfuls in it but you made sure they were smaller, slower than normal.
Charlie sure does have a good eye for filming....He captures all the action of this process.
Don’t forget to tell Charlie that we appreciate him too Chris! He’s pretty cool!
Gonna be some beautiful weather ahead!!
That's an impressive amount of crushed concrete! And it looks pretty good now too!
Well done Chris! :-)
The day machines realise we out smart them by turning them off, then on again, were doomed.
That day already arrived. A printer got eviscerated as a result.
I really like watching yall work. Looks like a well oiled machine. Great job guys!
l was just thinking l could do with another letsdig video then you popped onto my screen. Now sit back relax and enjoy.
You overfeed it or it the hammers were worn out
Fascinating stuff. My ocd wants you to clean up the extra dirt , trees and that one last damn piece of concrete lol
I was thinking that dirt and crud would look nice as an even berm around the edge like a pond dam.
I've never fed a crusher that ran that long without breaking down lol
That was very interesting! As always, impressive work!
That saved the customer some money you got a decent amount of area covered with that crushed concrete. The problem with forklifts once you spin your wheels and sink your done. So you paid Charlie 40 dollars per hour to be crusher man, probably a good thing he ran the crusher while you loaded it.

That crushed concrete went a lot further than I thought it would 2 looks good man
Nice.... Turning that mess into house lots.... that crusher is awesome.... and I expect a maintenance nightmare as well and outrageously expensive to purchase.... great friends you have
That’s was a cool job I didn’t know that was an option to recover old concrete like that!
Very interesting and informative presentation thank you
Nice job. Dozer looks like you can see well out of cab. Good video.
Man, you are a thinker, and with guys like Charlie, y'all working together, get R done, looking good.
Damn amazing how much material came from crushing the old concrete.
Wow who would have thought there was that much concrete stacked in the woods and charlie did a great job with the camera all different camera views

Huge savings for that company , win win, nice job Chris a very good Video with lots of info
Chris you're catching a milder case of Charlie 's sickness 🤣

@@duck0fdeathc336 yeah but he didn't have to rent it. Chris is no idiot, he has his shit together.
Great job. Good seeing that concrete put to good use. Loved those fast-forward sequences of the dozer spreading that material.
Nice job, nice work with the video, thanks for the close up on the crusher.
That parking lot looks great! You had just the right amount of material to do the entire thing! Good job!
Poetry in motion.
I'm always pleased to see you've posted a new video.
Watching is relaxing, for me.
Thanks!
Kind of feel like a kid again looking through a window ( Smartphone) watching cross the street at the construction going on. Great Video's
It would take about 3 minutes of moving that crusher before I went insane and tried to find a way to get rid of that alarm
Looks great. Can't really tell it's crushed concrete until you get close to it. Bet that new space will be filled with trusses in no time at all.
Chris
Can you break out the cost/advantages of crushing the concrete vs hauling it off.
Curious if this is something we need to do being in a similar situation in our site.
Thx
They (him & Charlie) touched on it in the previous video... Not sure if there was enough there to help you out...?
I really though you were going to use the auto level set up on the lil dozer. Chris you see level like the late Dale Earnhardt seen air.
Not sure he has all of the parts for that system yet.
The engineering of that crusher is mind blowing.. great job !!
Enjoyed all videos on the all job and Crushing too .Have good day .
Excellent job start to finish, customers got love it too,
Even the mistakes are interesting. When y'all stopped it gave me time to open a fresh beer. Thank you.

That machine is a seriously cool piece of engineering!! The amount of different functions it performs at the same time is unreal!
I have a feeling that they will have that area filled and you'll come back to huge ruts all over lol
Your client ought to be thrilled with what you’ve done.
I wished I see how much was saved by bringing the crusher. How many truck loads.
He covered it in the last video

Is it so, that the material becomes one
rock hard surface when it rains on it.
Looks good, glad Charlie could help you -
Imagine taking that crusher up to New Hampshire, up there to dig a hole all you need to do it take the stones out.
You could crush the whole state!
Very nice to see and hear you can recycle concrete in an economical way! Thanks Chris!
Why I'm Hypnotized by this channel .. .? ( I want MORE )
Amazing what a person can do with recycling Concrete. the parking lot is looking great.
Always learn something watching your videos! Thanks for the great work!
Man, you are CRUSHIN’ it today!!
Sorry. Someone was gonna say it.
I have enjoyed this project, I’ve gota say it’s almost like your digger is wired to your brain the way you handle it .
We put lanyards on all of our remotes, close to your hands and won't fall anywhere. Great vlogs.
Its always that last little bit that can be a pain in the ass. Tell you what, that crusher made short work of teaching that concrete its ABCs lol.
Poor guy could use a little bit bigger dozer to make things go a little quicker, but always makes things look like art when he's done regardless!
