As my Grandma would say, "Looks like Sam done broke out the short britches today". Lol, she had a funny way of putting things. She grew up around the York SC area before the depression and used a lot of expressions like that. Luckily for me, she also knew the Lord and took me to church, where I heard about God's salvation plan. Praise the Lord for God fearing Grandma's. Nice video and message Sam.
Grandma would be right, I done broke out the short britches! Wow, it’s hot around here.🥵🥵🥵 I love those old time expressions. Amen on the God fearing Grandmas… Thanks and God Bless
I think you did a great job building the driveway, grading around the barn and tailgating that stone... it turned out amazing👍. Thank you for the message i am doing my best to stay on the narrow path. Your messages always make my days better, so thanks🙏👍
When you said today’s the day I got goosebumps. Just the thought that when you said that somebody out there accepted Jesus as their savior really, really energized me! Thank office everything you do
@@tristardiggin Yep, doing ok, busy part of the season here, your video was a driveway teaser, right?😁ok take care have a great Saturday and Sunday, God Bless............see ya next video............................
Thanks for the message today, everyone needs to be reminded to clean their ditches! Really good video, don’t know what was better , the road design , the rock spreading or the great camera work! Thanks again for you time on the message and video
Hi Sam , Man that looks like a Road that will last a long time. Great Job !! I appreciate The Message , All My Ditches Need some Rip Rap , Lol ! Take Care and God Bless Ya Buddy !
Always love the closing message. Btw when you go out in a better job do you at least bid in a new tripod and mavic blades😁. I know it cost money, but I’m glad you leave it in your videos because it cracks me up. Heck i thought i was The only one that tore things up😅
Oh Man, you are definitely not the only one tearing things up. Seems like everyday around here. I may need to start adding a video equipment line item for sure. Glad you are enjoying the message too. God Bless
Such a good message at the end, as always. I hope you don’t change your format. I knew I could skip to the end to hear your words of wisdom, and now I’ll go back and watch the excavation work.
Thanks Jonathan, I appreciate that! Pretty pleased with this format. Folks seem to like it. There are others that skip to the message first as well. 🤣🤣🤣 God Bless
Excellent job on the road! I enjoy roadmaking and drainage projects. Hope you get to see how your solutions work after some rain. What type of soil do you have? It looks like loose loam without any rocks. Easy to work with?
Hey thanks, I appreciate that!😀 I enjoy building roads for sure. We have a wide variety of soils around here. From rocky to red clay, sandy and deep topsoil. Sam
Hey Sam maybe you should try putting one of these six foot orange flags on your tripod. Maybe that will help you see at eye level from in the Dozer just a thought.
@tristardiggin I was just thinking with your ( TRACK ) record lol 😆 maybe you should put some safety orange on your tripod lol. Have a good a safe day brother.
Man I wish you were close to me. I’m in Pickett County, TN and it’s been like pulling teeth to find someone to do some excavation work. I’ve contacted well over 20 companies and only a hand full return calls/messages and then no one shows up to look at the job
If I was close I would sure take a look at it. What you just described is pretty much the same way around here too. Hard to get anything done for sure… Thanks
Thanks Bruce! 😀 The D5 is a 2018 and is rated at 104hp. It does have CAT slope assist and I also added Trimble Earthworks 2D grade control. I love the Trimble grade control… Sam
Thanks Raymond! Are you talking about the shirt I’m wearing in the message? I haven’t gotten into T-Shirts just yet. I did have some from a third party online store but they were poor quality and cost too much. I do plan to have some designs made at some point though…
Awesome work Sam, Tailgate spreading was very slick. When you quote a job do you do a part job upfront payment to cover material costs then final balance on completion? Ps nice to see a ford :P
Thanks, I’m still learning this truck for sure. I usually just get payment at the end unless it goes past a week and then I will ask for work done through that Friday. I’ve been blessed and not really ever been cheated. I like that old Ford truck…
@@tristardiggin I totally understand. I ran one log truck for 45 years and yes, I could have grossed more with more trucks, but the hassel of having employees 🫣 glad to see you can run newer equipment and make it work. Tells me you’re doing something right. I watch Essential Craftsman on You Tube, has lots of good advice.👍
Can't help but wonder if the owner has approached the owner of that little tri-area to purchase it - would save a lot of trouble. And Davin is the UTube king of tri-pod destruction - lol. AMEN!!!
Thanks Adam, I appreciate that! I have done a few in the past about how to build a business and how I got started. Will see about a doing one in the future or maybe mix it in as I go in other videos.
Thank you for the awesome video and the powerful message. The road of life is long with deep ditches if we stay focus on Jesus, he alone will guide us on our long trip to his home of many rooms. Johnny Cash said once. "The best part of a long trip is the last mile home".

OH ! I wanted to Add, Mighty Fine Job Tailgating the Rock 👍🏻
Thanks Evert! I need a bit of rip rap too. 🤣
Thanks on the tailgating. I’m still learning this truck. Need a few more to get the hang of it…
Nicely done ,Sam 👍🏻
Thanks, I appreciate that! Looks like you have been doing a bit of burning around your place…😀
@@tristardiggin yeah. Finally got some dozer footage up also 👍🏻. It’s been so dry lately. Went from swamp to a dust bowl
Nice work, and great message!

Nice video Sam, very nice job.
Thank you Harold! 😀
@@tristardiggin You're Welcome.
Great job on the road Sam!
It's always inspiring to hear your message.
Ditches only stay clean with regular maintenance.
Thanks Patrick!😀 Glad you are enjoying the messages too. Ditches can get clogged up quickly for sure…
Maybe you should check to see if someone makes rubber tripods. Nice farm road. Thanks for the message. That was one we all need to hear.
Thanks Ron! A rubber tripod would be a great investment. But wait, in this heat it would just melt…🤣😀
God Bless
Hi Sam, the result of your work is perfect again !
Very nice landscape 😍
14:50 Music is good !
Nice Ford at the end of the video 👍
Thanks Nicolas! 😀 I kinda like that ole Ford…

Just wanted to say love your videos and the music that you have added. Great job.
Thank you Jeff, I really appreciate that! 😀
Great content, video, equipment and results. Favorite and least favorite equipment and why? Favorite and least fav project and why?
Favorite would probably be the dozer and least favorite is the roller. I love building roads and don’t care much for working with rip rap…
@@tristardiggin thanks for sharing and I can see that in your videos!
Looks great 👍
Thank you Joey! 😀
Awesome Job & Message!!

@tristardiggin I was just thinking with your ( TRACK ) record lol 😆 maybe you should put some safety orange on your tripod lol. Have a good a safe day brother.
in your opinion what is a good ear protection to use on the heavy machinery??
The best would be full ear muffs. But many folks use ear plugs like the foam one. I generally use AirPods that have noise canceling.
Thanks,
Sam
You're gonna have to put you a high visibility vest on that tripod 😂. That's some good looking work my friend.
Thank you David! Yup, may need to get a vest to hang on it…🤣
👍🏻
Thanks Steve!😀
Hi Sam
Hello

Another cool video. what year, and how many horsepower is your D-5? Does that machine have slope control etc.?
Thanks Bruce! 😀
The D5 is a 2018 and is rated at 104hp. It does have CAT slope assist and I also added Trimble Earthworks 2D grade control. I love the Trimble grade control…
Sam
I like your T-shirt you haven’t got them yet. Have you? nice job on the video
Thanks Raymond!
Are you talking about the shirt I’m wearing in the message?
I haven’t gotten into T-Shirts just yet. I did have some from a third party online store but they were poor quality and cost too much. I do plan to have some designs made at some point though…
@@tristardiggin Tristar t-shirt
@@raymondgochenour8725 Shoot me an email at tristardiggin@gmail.com about a shirt…
I'm just curious why does your dozer beep every now and then like the GPS is on ?
It is the crazy ole seat belt warning beeper. 🥵
@tristardiggin oh ok I see
Awesome work Sam, Tailgate spreading was very slick.
When you quote a job do you do a part job upfront payment to cover material costs then final balance on completion?
Ps nice to see a ford :P

Enjoy your videos…and message. Just curious, I’m not in your shoes, but with all that equipment would a young…or older…helper work to your advantage?
Thank you Dennis I appreciate that! I’ve thought about it a few times but I would just rather work by myself.
@@tristardiggin I totally understand.

@denniswilhelm1316 Right Dennis, what you said is exactly why I work by myself too!
Can't help but wonder if the owner has approached the owner of that little tri-area to purchase it - would save a lot of trouble. And Davin is the UTube king of tri-pod destruction - lol. AMEN!!!
Thanks Allan! 😀
He did contact the neighbors and never got a visit from them. Davin can definitely destroy some tripods too…🤣
Let us know the maker of the tripod so we can buy stock 😮
🤣🤣🤣
😂
Need a vid explaining how you built this business would love to hear some wisdom
Thanks Adam, I appreciate that! I have done a few in the past about how to build a business and how I got started. Will see about a doing one in the future or maybe mix it in as I go in other videos.
Thank you for the awesome video and the powerful message. The road of life is long with deep ditches if we stay focus on Jesus, he alone will guide us on our long trip to his home of many rooms. Johnny Cash said once. "The best part of a long trip is the last mile home".
Thank you Robert! They are definitely deep ditches down the road of life. We certainly need to keep on focus on Jesus!
God Bless
Question ??? How did Saul get his name changed ???
God changed it…
Hes froud to wear it lol
🤣😀
Is Dr. Pepper sponsoring you? lol
James, that would be a cool sponsorship! 😀🤣🤪
Sam
Are you the ONLY working on this project? How much did you charge? No help was your choice. Length of the job.
Yup, I generally work by myself. It took about 18 hours on this job not counting the rock hauling….
@@tristardiggin happy Father's Day and enjoy today! You deserve it sir!
@aaronburford5701 Thanks Aaron and hope you have a blessed Father’s Day as well…
God Bless
Please don't ask to borrow my tripod.
John that is a wise decision!
🤣😀🤪
Who makes those tripods? Maybe I will buy some shares in that company...
Yeah no doubt! That would be a great investment…
