We're driving our excavator carefully along a narrow ledge this week, with a steep drop-off on one side. LZ3 is in our sights, as I work with a pro driving my recently-purchased excavator. He's got nerves of steel!
Please follow along as my wife and I build our Timber Frame Forever Home in the mountains of Japan near the beach town of Shimoda.

I got a piece of land with a quite sloped access. Incredibly similar to this. Watching this video gives me hope.
It's a challenge in so many different ways. Please check out my latest video to see more detail related to the steep slope and how to put a foundation on it. (Also, I checked out your channel; I love the snoring kitty video, and the orange-cat focus!! )
Interesting video. I have a machine and land to clear, but unfortunately mine is relatively flat.... Honestly I was surprised to see you build right over that stump. If it was just a conifer w/no tap root, you could dig it out. Any size excavator can get out any tree, given time. Oh well you can come back to it if you wish. That's an excellent mini. I'm sure others have mentioned, you need a thumb👍. But otherwise perfect for what you're doing. Great music, thanks for posting ~ 👋
I love getting these type of comments, on a video over 2 years old. It allows me to go back and watch it and relive those exciting times and see the details I've already forgotten (like digging up that tarp, which I'm still using today). I hope you have a chance to see some of my more recent videos, George (maybe 80+ new ones made since this one). Lot's of changes, and yes, got a thumb for the digger! Cheers. JT
wow the grass sheets are coming along great thats awesome
Yes, I was surprised at how quickly they fleshed out. I learned it's actually a requirement from some town/city offices to include those after any "cut" of the land.
Cool music
Thanks for watching.
He is a smooth operator. I am going to need a good operator for my project in the hills up at near 4000 ft in California. I have a very steep 2-acre mountain property with serious trees and overgrowth never touched except maybe by Native Americans and a host of wild animals. I do have one real old overgrown fire road about midway up the property cutting across, so I have a target level to aim for. I am going to have to set my mind for a few years or so like you have so I don't get discouraged.
Use the philosophy: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! It's good to have milestones also, whether physical ones like the fire road, or mental ones, to keep you motivated when you achieve them.
I came across this video to prep myself for some trail work here in the ozarks. How did the stump work out? I’ve been thinking to leave some for retention and stack logs behind them.
Burying them seems to be working, now two years on. But they have to be deep, like under a foot of earth at least. Using logs to buttress the roadways has also been useful but is clearly temporary. They rot out and push out. Thanks for stopping by.
You're doing great! Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for the feedback, Norm. It's all challenging, and enjoyable!
My house sits on top of a hill like that with a slight ridge in the middle I think I can make a road on.. I rented a machine but Im trying to get hours on the flat before I attempt it. Been moving a large rock pile to help with the cribbing. After running a digger Im in the market for one. I cannot imagine owning land and not having one now. Very handy.
I couldn't agree more. An essential, versatile tool. Might I suggest you check out a couple more vids in Season 4 (episodes 2 or 3) for some highwire acts on the slope. Some of it was terrifying. Thanks for stopping in.
At least he is trying
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers.
El operador no apto para trabajar esa máquina.
Seems to be the wrong equipment for the job.
You may be right, Nick. I assume you're talking about the excavator. What tool would you have chosen, given unlimited budget and availability?
@Shimoda Life there have to be some dozers available. Thats #1 for a small road or a medium-sized backoe. Either would be much faster and a much cleaner road. Save the excavator for trenching. Dozer is the standard. There are plenty of options less than 10 ton.
