What are you going to put on the sides to control erosion from the sides when water inevitably flows downhill?
Honestly I'd be interested in how much was spent just on rock deliveries. I have a half mile long dirt road and I've been slowly chipping away at it (paying others sadly) and it's been a really expensive project that has spanned 2 years so far.
The rock is the bulk of the cost, aside from the cost of the operator.
They will need to maintain this road forever, and they have the equipment to do it. It will have to settle in for a couple seasons but they did it right and made it wide enough to manage what will present itself. There will be future loads of gravel, and other fill creating projects I'm sure they can use as well.
Water 🌊 project
An expansion to keep all of your most valuable equipment undercover.
Shout out to Sara for her help in filming this. I know that she's been a great help, as well as your friends staying there and helping you out as well. What a great project, and kudos to everyone involved.
This summer was only possible because of all of their hard work!
Is that Sara the newlywed from Martin Johnson off grid?
@@deecee9051 Yes.
@@AmbitionStrikes you work with a lot of youtubers. Have you thought about the idea of worker owned cooperative?
Riley and Courtney, a suggestion for you. Seed those banks/batters and the dirt sections adjacent to the road. The scrub/brush growth will help stabilize the soil, combat erosion and ultimately extend the life of your road. You might also consider planting a few more trees to replace those you had to push over. They'll also help stabilize the soil and eventually obscure much of the disturbance that was necessary in building the road. P.S. well done. You guys are a great couple.
Make sure you let your local emergency services know that this improved road is now there. It could make a big difference if you needed them or if there was some other issue going on up by you. Great Job!
Oliver is going to have the best Tonka set of all time.
I love the googly eye, the viewer that sent that really gets the cudos for the best moment
When we started (watching) the road project, I wasn't sold on the entertainment value let alone the reason why it was decided to make so much content on it. Today was a great reminder of all the hard work and trouble that came before the road was completed! I am so glad for you guys to have the security and peace of mind to pass up and down the road to your home without much effort now. So glad that Tyler and his family could help and spend the summer with you too, it was great getting to know them. My favorite part of this one was searching for the go-pro in the gravel after the dump truck drove over it! The side by side camera views of were entertaining. All the best, can't wait to see what's next!
Yeah, some type of 10 minute montage would be great to watch!
If you get ruck to bring gravel in with trucks and want to lay it smooth tel; the truck drivers to lay it in reverse gear not like this guy did...
Good thing Tyler was there to help otherwise you'd be working on this until Christmas, nice work Tyler!
Thanks for including the footage of the recovery of the buried Go Pro.
Hopefully you got the drainage correct and don't have to worry about it!
Since the winter will be here in no time, I'd suggest prepping for snow and fixing your drainage issue by the shop. Also, since the road project is fresh, why not figure out how you're going to take the road up to the top of your hill? Maybe clear a path for the snow-verlander for this winter?
What a huge relief for you. Looks great.
Get a extra load of gravel to fill in spots as they happen and before they become a big problem.
Also from now on when you grade angle the gravel to the center of the road. This will do a couple things for you. It will create a crown to help with drainage and keep the gravel in the road instead of pushing it in the ditch. Hopefully you have good ditches for drainage.
As others have mentioned get the side hills seeded. Hydro seeding works well. Keep up the good work
i can't believe i've been watching you for 3 years already - time flies !
It's nice to have your own rock quarry. You did a great job on your road! You're just playing now... 😂with the new attachments on the skid steer... 🥰
With all of that great base rock and the use of fabric on the dirt areas, that road should last forever. Great work.
The smile on Oliver's face as he looks at his project is priceless; CONGRATULATIONS!!🎉
Every Sunday is a Funday watching you and Oliver building your dream
Oliver is just hanging out, what do you mean he's building? He's growing like a weed 😅
The road looks great. I knew it could be fixed. The road needs a crown so its higher in the middle than the sides so the water doesn't sit on the road. You should do that before you use the roller. That rock will still compact if it's not as much moisture in it as when they dumped it out. Y'all did great! 👍
A semi truck, with a filled hot tub on a step deck with the two of you in it as it drives up the road. THAT would get a lot of views. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
When placing the camera where it will be buried, tie a bright orange or pink mason’s line to it and run it off on the side. Then simply pull up the line and you’ll find the camera much easier.
Mason’s line is sturdy and abrasion-resistant so it’ll easily handle the task.
Ollie is so cute, he has so much of both of you in his face and expressions
Well your officially now a road construction engineer wow what a overwhelming task to complete your road most people can't appreciate just how much work you put in to make this happen Well Done Folks its been a very entertaining ride with you all Thank You!
Culverts and ditches for the wet seasons?
Great stuff. You guys really gets things done!
My thoughts, too...
agree that high side with mainly dirt on the slope will get messy with spring break up period. a ditch to capture it and send it to a culvert will help pervent a washout there.
I was just about to ask this!
Build the road with no culverts then you get to discover exactly where they should be installed.
@@davidborehamHe he - nice one 🙂
Perhaps they will add some ditches or swales on the uphill side later. Will be interesting to see.
I am part owner of a 3km private road myself. We have added some culverts after it was built so you have a point.
Riley you have learned some mad skills on all that equipment. You are one fearless dude. Holy cow such an amazing job,😊
A huge SHOUT OUT to Tyler for all of his hard work. I suspect it was a win-win for both of you. You got a hardworking assistant and he got a ton of heavy equipment operation, maintenance, and repair experience that he can apply elsewhere if he so chooses.
Guys, the road looks absolutely amazing! In years to come, you’ll look back and say “how did we ever accomplish that!”. Great job!!
I am so stinkin' proud of you guys. That was really a substantial undertaking. HUGE, especially for your ages. I love the way you guys just jump in, figure it out and do the best you can, grateful for every bit you are able to accomplish. Ollie's look at 22:47 says it all. He sure loves his Daddy! And those friends of yours! Wow! What a blessing! One thing I'm wondering is were you able to get the road to the slope you needed? Forgive me if you mentioned it and I missed it. You had mentioned that the fire department needed a certain grade to be able to make it up to your house if needed, God forbid. That one rock gave you a lot of trouble. I'm assuming you accomplished that since you declared it finished but thought I'd check. Thank you for everything YOU do. You produce a really excellent channel and it's so nice for you to welcome us into your lives. You have such incredible personalities that make the channel! Take care friends!
Agreed
Favorite channel and family on RUclips thanks for making my Sunday start off better every week.
First thing to bring up, a concrete truck for a new slab for a bigger shop 😅
Great job guys!
The road needs a name with signage to top it off and seal the deal.
"Ollie's Lane" seems fitting.
Congrats!
Or maybe ... the Road To Success!
Sara did/does an awesome job filming!
It's fun to watch Oliver become more and more aware of his surroundings. Can't wait to see him grow up. Great job.
Congrats on the initial finish of the gravel driveway. Having grown up on a lengthy gravel driveway (nothing compared to yours, but still fairly long), I can confidently say you will be bringing in loads of gravel to fix low spots for years to come. Still, the big work is done. You guys are awesome
I can think of a road that people have been filling potholes in for 60 years to my certain knowledge, there must be tons of hardcore under each one, There is a geologists term for this but I forget it !
Courtney & Riley,
The completion to a monumental task. Well done to all invloved.
You guys ROCK! Get it? get it? 😂❤
Should get someone to come and hydro seed those steep banks to avoid any erosion and wash out during the winter.. roads looking great and very professional
11:38 watching the gravel pave the way behind the dump truck was satisfying
Congratulations. Friends, family and a whole lot of effort resulted in a nice driveway to your vision for the future. As always, thanks for sharing.
It’s been a great pleasure to see the development of your family and property!
May the Lord bless all your ways!
Cheers from Brazil!
Brings back some very cherished memories of when I lived in the woods outside Portland, my dad spent a month or two cutting in a new driveway in the forest. All with a small dozer. I can still smell the clay, diesel and gravel dust.
Loved this video series so much it makes me tear up a little.
Who would have thought a good road would be such a modern convenience!
Great video! And nice finished road! It is amazing what a difference a grading attachment makes. We use a landplane and it is huge the difference it makes.
If you can seed the banks of your new road you will reduce the effects of water run-off eroding the careful sloping. A farm supply store should be able to give you helpful pointers on the choice of seed to use. I believe some grasses can be seeded in the fall.
Put some side ditches in to stop and run off crossing over the road.
So glad the wife and I could be here to watch you grow from the beginning, you have become our Sunday morning coffee and Ambition Strikes!
I think you should water the road and compact it some more before it rains. Road looks really good and I would hate to see it get washed out.
You guys are amazing... I wish I had your skills, age and patience for all your projects. Keep up this amazing format. Cheers! (Cornwall, Ontario, Canada)
Great job guys, another successful project completed, I can't wait to see what's next.
Please fix the D8 dozer. It will be really cool to see that working again.
Congrats on the road.
⭐️⭐️Looks like Tyler, Wood’s Crushing & Hauling, and heavy machinery need a big shout out! ⭐️⭐️ thanks as always for another great video 👍👍
That road sure was and still is one of the biggest things enabling you to be able to have traffic in and out of your home, the exact time you need to. It is sort of amazing how fast that road project scaled up, but I believe doing so also enabled you to get rid of most problems what a small and limited problematic road would probably caused to have during many following years. It 's great you had the opportunity and you made it happen.
Oliver is such a great kid! Looking forward to seeing him grow up.
@3:20 , you can tell Oliver is starting to try to get a few vowels & consonants out. It won't be long before he's putting together some basic words!
You can tell he's been kind of a spectator absorbing everything that's going on around him.
It'll be great in the coming years to see him learn all his parents have to teach him! What a joy!
I Thought he was go to tell you he was ready to Go see the New Road!

The trick with grading - be it a bucket or a road grader - is “take small bites”. Don’t try to move lots of material at one time. Small bites means you never mess up and move too much material away from any spot. Anyway, you’ve all done a great job on the road, it’s really impressive!
8.25.23 How bout a big thanks to Tyler and his wife for all their help! Otherwise would still be working on the road. Thanks Tyler and family.
Congrats and well done. A "never give up" attitude serves you well in this project. What's next?? Maybe cover protection for all your machines. What ever it is - GOOD LUCK. 🎈🎈🎈🎈
How about a 40’ shipping container pool? that would come up the road nicely on a semi hauler
Thank you guys for the inspiration to build my own road this summer. I only have a couple of acres but leveled and brought in 1 yard at a time on a trailer 25 yards of milled asphalt that I put down and hand raked in hundreds of one dollar discount broken bags of concrete from Home Depot. Compacted and watered to make a absolutely beautiful stable circular road around my house and pole barn property. I have been retired for three years and love being a super tightwad getting projects done for next to nothing while building old man muscle back up. It did cost me a ripped bicep muscle and snapped sciatica but I’ve been married for 42 years to my favorite girl in the world and love pain anyways so there’s that. total road cost about 500 bucks. Total 42 years married. Priceless.
Looks awesome!! Never used a skid grader before so this may be totally wrong but try to put it in float. It should help with driving the guide wheels into the ground/scooping too much material!
Fantastic accomplishment- well done! Feels good as a viewer that we were a part in contributing to you using your considerable skill set, industry and sheer hard graft to make this happen.
Very well done, guys! That was a HUGE project. I'm very excited about further projects!
Best wishes from Bavaria! 👍
Time for a cost analysis. Material: 400 cubic yards of 3/4-inch ABC = about $6,600. Material delivery = ?? Equipment rentals and purchases = ?? Labor: free !! Fuel and repair parts = ?? But the sense of accomplishment is priceless. A beautiful job with all of the correct decisions. Should be solid enough to avoid erosion damage from uphill snow melt. Spring will tell the tale. Congratulations to one and all for the energy and patience to work for two years on the project !!
Excellent job Riley you built your dream road and it looks very good as your driving down or up, now all you have to do is wait for the weather to see if you done it well. Thanks for sharing And Courtney beautiful smiles and Oliver is growing by the day and so lucky to have such a beautiful mom. Thanks for the video.
Love Oliver's big"blue" eyes, his smile. Question, did you keep that 330 for another week? That toad really looks nice now. Hope it looks that good next spring.❤
We ended up renting the 330 for one month.
Yay! Is this the finished road today? Great job Riley,Courtney,Oliver & Friends!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
For a metal fabricator and a marketing guru you guys make a great road building crew.
Job well done team.
Awe inspiring to say the least
Road looks awesome Riley and Courtney
Fantastic and well done on completion of the road and the start of a new beginning with baby Oliver.Your Ambition sure has Struck gold for sure.Good luck going forward from the Emerald Isle....
Can't wait to see a winter update on the road to see how it will be holding up. Great accomplishment for your settlement. Now looking forward to seeing videos of your repair work on the bulldozer transmission.
I myself have not put one penny into helping you guys with all your projects, I am disabled and on a fixed income but the joy you guys have brought me is priceless. I watch some of your videos everyday and love every minute of them. I pray God continue to bless you and your family. Keep the videos coming I love them all.
Have thoroughly enjoyed watching the road build series. Kinda sad it’s going to be over now. Lol 😂 you guys are awesome, and it’s amazing what you did with that road all on your own, putting sweat equity into your property and making it better/safer to access. Ollie is adorable also, btw! Lol Congrats on completing that monster project! Looking forward to more videos!
I don't know why, but I love watching you guys build this road.
Looks amazing , this is proof that hard work pays off
Huge congrats!!! What a huge undertaking. Proving again what my dad always said. To do any job one needs the correct tools and equipment. Determination. And hard work 👍😃. 🥳
Bice work guys. Keep in mind though....the faster you drive on it...the more it will get tore up and holes. Save yourself the time later by taking your time now.
Awesome work and has been a lot of enjoyment watching it all come together!
What an awesome accomplishment you have achieved. That is a fantastic road.
Y’all should do a container pool and a hot tub
The road looks great and your hard labor looks like its paying off. It will be interesting to see how much mother nature agrees with your road. I'm sure there will be bumps in the road (hehe) along the way but you will figure it out. Love the channel and the content, keep up the good work.
I started watching because of the solar project, and now I'm still watching, and I'm hooked, I can't wait for the next video! Keep up the good work!
Congratulations, the road looks great. You guys are such an upbeat, fun family to watch. I can't wait for future adventures!
great job guys! i think Ollie's smile at the end shows his approval too! :) please give us a followup on the road once the snow arrives.
What an epic achievement for you guys, loved watching this and the work you have put in to make that road a reality is truly incredible. Looking forward to the next round of updates and seeing that 330 become a staple machine in your life! 😂👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Congrats on finishing your Road. One implement you still need to get is a slide in sander/Salter for when your road becomes too slippery. It's just another necessity when you live where you do.
Riley made that road project look easy. The banks look super professional! Nice job. Fun to watch.
Good stuff! Very exciting to see how much you've accomplished together. I'm looking forward to what's next.
How cool is this, you guys look so happy. It's all your hard work paying off right there and making life a bit easier and safer too. Well done guys (and Tyler too) great job.
big news you may have a lot less maintenance but you are going to be working on that road at least once a year if you want to keep it in good shape, you still gotta keep the crown on the road you gotta keep the ditch on each side clean but if you maintain that it won't be that bad, also once you get your bulldozer Don make a regular habit of driving up and down that road to her three times a year to really pack them big rocks and and all that loose gravel, awesome job buddy that is beautiful job you and your body your wife and your other buddy's wife, use did a good job just keep packing it down you're going to need that for the plow doesn't scrape the gravel off the road still got a lot of work buddy but that is beautiful
always fun to watch you guys accomplish these big projects
Been a long road, but shorter now! Great job guys. Thank you so much for taking us on this journey! That was my kind of video!!!
Good job on the road. As you now know there is so much more to building a new road than just dumping gravel. Bravo Your Pal Al.
Geez Riley! looks like the autobahn! Humpty has more than paid for himself, at least you didnt pull a Sisyphus with that liner, at this point, living vicariously thru you kids is prepping us for our next adventure, have not missed an episode or a short since yall were hunting for property! Rock on guys!
You should get some friends and neighbors and do a parade of your vehicles from smallest to largest up the new road. Looks great! Well done! The hard work shows!
Nicely done. From one operator to another. The amount of work and skill that it took can't be shown in your videos, I know what it takes.
With all the standard issues that came up, they got this done pretty fast for being green. Does help that they had some experience with smaller scale equipment, but they had good plans and did their homework
Great seeing all the hard work paying off! Can't wait to see whats next. I love how Riley don't let the fact he doesn't know what he's doing stop him. He just jumps right in and figures it out. Get er done!
What a great job you guys did on the road. Just curious, how is the water system working out? Did you guys ever show it? If you did, I must have missed it.
Congratulations guys nice job
A road well traveled!!!Congrats to you all for a job well done. From Colorado at 10,000 feet above sea level.
"Finish it once and for all". The ultimate jinx phrase......
You guys are rock stars, and you have some incredible friends who would spend the summer lending a hand!
You guys are absolutely amazing!! To tackle such a monster project on your own had to be such a daunting task. But with good humor, excitement and great friends to help, you did a terrific job! Congratulations!! Can't wait for the next big project.
Well done guys! Really good work! The road looks great. And little Ollie is coming along in leaps and bounds too
I am absolutely so stoked for your family. What an amazing job! Can't want to see what else you have in store for us!. You both are such hard workers, and your videos are always quite entertaining. Good job!
The big hug at the end really put the end cap on the heartfelt struggles y’all have had for literally years. Thank you for bringing us along as you’ve created this road project!
The road looks great, you guys did a wonderful job on it, cant wait for more to come ,
The road looks great. I love yals channel i enjoy the videos every Sunday morning cant wait to see what nxt
Congratulations on the road, great job! Oliver is such a cute baby, they grow up so fast.
