    Retired driver. Winter tip. When you come in off the road and stop on snow, rock back and forth to cool off the tires. Hot tires will melt a hole under your drives.

    For the floor drain try and make a basket out of some metal mesh, that way when you need to clean it just yank the basket out and throw the garbage away. Worked for me with a similar drain in a car repair shop :)

I’d say Erik puts more into it then just a hired hand. What a great team effort but Chet you really keep everyone & everything going. Awesome job!!!!👍👍👍👍👍. 5 thumbs up instead of 5 stars. Thanks for hours of viewing fun.

    Regarding the wash bay drain, I would try to make a basket type strainer like the idea with pots with insert strainers. You could easily catch lots of the muk and just lift the basket out to get majority out before even needing to put your hand in it.

    There is really nice way to use a ratchet strap with a flat. Put it around the tire and tighten it "like so". That will push the tyre out towards the rim and there is a better possibility for reinflating the tyre.

    Bean stubble is the worse its tough and sharp . I've had a hole in my boot sole before from bean stubble the bean stalk stayed in the hole like a tire plug . To redwings defense the boot was 3 years old and plenty worn out. It's been between 15 and 8 degrees with 25 to 30 mph winds here in southern Michigan. I've been mowing ditches and trimming brush back around fields in our excavator with a brush mower and even with heat and carharts on its damn cold . Dougo and randy are lucky to have you young guys around they can just supervise and give advice. Great video keep up the good work !

    Should have put in a standard acu drain with a grated top in the wash bay. There different sizes, width/heigh. And different types for different load bearing. At work we did put in 1000feet of it in a truck workshop. Needs its own footing and has to be shimmed to be flat(if the drain has slope built in it..) and grouted in. Then pour floor around it.

    I understand what you are saying about working outside in the winter. Takes twice as long to do anything. And tires are the worst to work with in the cold. Wow. A mess you have on that digger. Know you guys will get it sorted out and back as new.
    My compliments on the way all of you take care of your equipment. That red tractor before you started on it was terrific mess with the mud. Now that you and Eric spent the time on it looks like a new tractor again. You really take excellent care of your equipment. Absolutely outstanding!!!!!!
    Seems winter time is hard on a person and equipment. Takes longer to do anything.
    On your floor drain just a suggestion. Can you put a screen type piece over those big grates to catch the trash before it gets down in the drain????
    Might save you some time later. Just saying.
    About it for now. I will be quiet. You all take care and be safe. A pat on the head to Toby!!!!!!!!!
    Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything.

    For the floor drain: get a basket that fits the inner diameter of the drainage box, kind of like a pool filter. You can just lift it and dump out all the debris whenever it blocks up inside of shoving your hand in the mud hole hahaha. Probably cost you $10 to fab one up

Take the time to install bigger curtain drains while you are at it and you will have a Cadillac wash bay!
