    A little rain always makes excavations more fun. I spent my time standing in a ditch with the rain coming down miserably, I enjoyed everyday though. That’s why being retired I watch your channel

    Doing the driveways after the owners have bought as part of the land deal is working out well for you, giving you a good introduction to the new owners and chance for them to see your work, leading to lots more work !

    Another happy property owner gets himself the best man he could get to build the driveway on his new lot.
    Then hires Chris to do more, including a clearing and pond rebuild we will get to enjoy watching.

    Once you get on a job, the customers don't want you to leave! That's due to the awesome work you do. Nice driveway, btw. A quality road that will withstand trucks & traffic. Thanks for sharing, Chris.

    You always do such a good job building driveways. The conditions weren’t ideal but once the driveway has time to dry out it will be good.

Two traffic control trucks with men in them at each end watching their phones.
