    When we used to work out of town we had a check list of potential problems such as axtra hydraulic fluids and filters. Extra fuel and fuel filters and the most common hoses that have the greatest chance of blowing.

    With the grade change all around the tree infront of the garage I'd be worried about it being hazardous from having too many roots removed. You might want to consider taking that one out now proactively, 1, to prevent it from becoming a hazard as it will die from the root damage/soil compaction of running machines over it, 2 it will be easier to final grade out in front of the garage.

    I just want to say that as a fellow youtuber I really appreciate all the work you do in producing videos like this.
    People dont realize the work involved in getting all those camera angles - Drone footage - and explaining what's going on - Oh and not to mention the works gotta get done the break downs gotta get fixed and the camera equipment has gotta make it off job without getting destroyed and then the 2hr editing process begins! Folks dont realize how doing a video on these jobs REALLY SLOWS production down.
    Thank God your on your own property and dont have a homeowner standing there or under a time crunch. Very nice videos man and i have learned alot from you - I only hope one day my videos will be as good and informative as your are! It Def a process and i have a lot to learn fosho!

    • @Dirtmonkey
      @Dirtmonkey  2 года назад +1

      You nailed it Ray, but technically we spend about 6-8 hours in editing each video. and it sure does slow down the project a ton. Work has to stop to move the cameras- its is a labor of love for sure. I wish you the best with your channel and your work!

    I've been thinking of regrading the driveway at my family cabin. It has an 11% grade slope around a sharp curve, I'd like to reduce that to 7% or less. With how the property is allocated, I might have to cut in an entirely new driveway next to the existing one. Our cabin is a landlocked property so we only have access by driving up the mountain and back down our neighbor's driveway. We're about ⅓ up the mountain, high enough to get a steady breeze but not too high as to be seen atop the hill.

    I think the driveway is fine where you have it, just need to remove 5-6 trees on the edges and that one right in the center at the top and then some stone. Oh, an extension on the culvert would help biggly. After that, you'll be all set. Thumbs up as always.

    It might be a bit pricey, but shave the top of the hill to give the fill needed to reduce the pitch of the slope and then cap the top and sides of the driveway with a 4-6 inch thick slab of concrete...That should ensure that the fill stays put and gives a low-slope, easy to maintain driveway that's easy to plow/snow blow in winter since there's no risk of the plow/blower digging into the dirt/stone of the driveway...
    This way, the ONLY material that you need to import to the site is the concrete (and maybe an inch or 2 of good compacting base material for the slab if none can be found onsite)...

    You almost need a bulldozer to push the bigger piles of dirt and be able to feather it out as you go down the hill. The skid steer would be good for making the pile.

    Gee Stan you just made it easier for those thieves to come in and take whatever they want now. In all seriousness it's sad how the world thinks anything they want is theirs come in and just take it.
    Just like selling catalytic converters is illegal in quantity yet they're being stolen all over the place and sold somewhere imagine that.

      @@Dirtmonkey Oh yea, I worked in a mountainous area of our county( Firefighter) and some driveways had an 8% or higher approach angle. We'd drag the nose or the tailboard trying to get ambulances or fire engines up them. A few driveways we serve were nearly a mile long. Throw some snow and ice in the mix and it gets interesting.

    Happy Monday stan, ho are things going, how was the weekend. Today just flew on by, i got to cook the entire culinary class pancakes today, and i did it by myself, i thought that they all deserve some good food since their making cookies for the entire school. We have almost 5,500 cookies since i last checked. And my teacher ordered lots of hot chocolate for the entire school and is making it fresh on our last day which is a Thursday. Gonna be nice. Hey say Christmas is gonna be warm. I hope not. I was really hoping for a white Christmas. But hey, you can’t control Mother Nature. But yes, i got my mom some accessories for her new grill. She doesn’t know what i got she got. Oh and my dad for his Christmas, he is getting a dewalt circular saw 6 1/2 inch blade. And a dewalt impact gun, I’m making sure they have a nice Christmas. Well stan, i hope you have a good night, god bless and go get em, your pal and friend, Alexander costa

    Im thinking the Long Term Plan would be the better Option. I mean overall its your choice. I think thing the Long Term Plan would look alot nicer. Then having one big pile of fill Dirt piled up straight from road using the existing Driveway. Even if you did like some sortof Retaining Wall for it. I think it would just look bit out of place for the area really. Plus It might Cost alot more to. At least I think it would.
