    No wonder no one wants to watch television anymore. Most shows on television are complete garbage, and they have a staff of producers, directors, crew, etc. This is one guy, doing his own filming and editing, and running his own company.

      Those who agree with this comment can come see my channel(s) then. While true, some of my videos are like this video, lengthy, but gets to the point, unlike some of those family guy videos where there's filler in the video to extend the video past what the intended clip is meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I myself do enjoy some of the videos of family guy, I think there was only about one video that was short and got to the point of what the title was. I have this channel that I'm commenting with, morgan russmans gaming channel, morgan russmans cooking channel, and morgan russmans conspiracy theroy channel, I don't have anything currently (6/2019) have anything on the conspiracy theory channel yet, but keep an eye out for my conspiracy theory channel, I do plan on eventually uploading something to the conspiracy theory channel. Edit: I though this was my main channel. This is my conspiracy theory channel, morgan russman is the main channel name.

    Still don’t know how I stumbled upon this but I have watched it often. One of the most satisfying videos on RUclips. Not sure why, I gues just seeing honest effort and progress. I hope to own a piece of land off the beaten path one day and have a guy like this come in and help me run a driveway in. This guys job is so much more satisfying than so many of us office dwellers.

      @@legohead6 actually with one foot of gravel over fabric, I have supported 85,000 lb. loaded trucks repeatedly for weeks. The fabric also creates a bridging effect which in essence creates a footprint equal to the wheelbase. I built a log truck loading site on ground that barely supported people walking. By the end of the 4 week job (two truck loads in and out per day) the skidder was seat deep in water, pushing floating logs up to the truck but, the trucks never sank in even a little bit.

Have you tried shoulder stone (shoulder stone is a product of screening and finings of crushed blue stone). Check with a dealer for more information. Rent or buy an over road grader and a ten ton three wheel road roller for compaction. This stuff compacts very well and is good for hard usage. I’ve never tried this before but have heard it is very good -Mix Portland cement in a lean mixture with shoulder stone. Mix dry and spread dry in hard usage areas. Allow light usage for one or two weeks. It will set.”

    Awesome job man , but as you see when the dump backs up with that load how the gravel pushed down and by no means any hate on the video but if you take the top soil off like the first 6-12 inches of dirt and bring it down to hard material you’ll never have a problem with the driveway. Then track pack the hell out of the gravel with the excavator if you don’t have a roller. It will last a lot longer cause when it rains and you have to bring in a heavy truck or machinery forget it it’s going to turn into a mess.

    Compact the hell out of the natural ground adding fill & more leveling where needed.
    Then you have a good base for your fabric & gravel followed by a smooth roller compacter.

      Insane. That's one word for it. Another would be stupid. Yet another would be irresponsible.

      Yard - A safer approach would have been to call someone to come help. Another would have been to pull it from the front using a chain or tow strap. Of course, by himself, there is the problem of not having a spotter/flagger for any traffic that may come along. The bottom line is leaving operating machinery like that is extremely dangerous. Any number of things could have gone wrong. He could have fell down and been run over.

    A true artist! I learned a lot. I just hired a skip loader to clear out a drive to the rear of my one and a half acres and I saw some things that I could have done to make the process smoother. Thank you for an excellent video!

    The dump truck and trailer are stuck...and he is by himself. He puts the excavator behind the trailer and puts it in gear while he jumps out and runs to the dump to steer it out. Once it is on hard pavement he jumps out of the truck and hauls back to the excavator and takes it out of gear. Job done! Never seen anybody like this in 75 years.

    I enjoyed watching this project. Reminded me of my own 5 years back. Had the mini X rented for a few more days so I decided to build an 800ft long drive up a two hundred ft incline trail on our property. Some of which was a switchback. Opened up our 3 1/2 acre hillside property for recreational access.

      Looking to do the same. How did you decide what size equipment you needed. We did a flat area on my mother in laws place about 10years and severely underestimated the giant river rock boulders.
