    This guy has kept you very busy over the last year. You always do an amazing job and that’s why you get so much repeat business. The land owners know that they won’t find anyone that will do a better job so they don’t bother looking. Like I’ve always been told, word of mouth is the best advertising you can get. I would imagine that a lot of your customers have recommended you to do their work.

      Many years ago 50+/- there was an operator here in NW Oklahoma had a Ford backhoe, the city would use him to dig sewer lines 100 yards at a time they never needed to do any hand work afterwards. He was fun to watch.

    Said this last time about this building, PERFECT candidate from a rain water harvesting reserviour tank. Overflow towards the woods or lake.
    Could then use that water for jet washing the equipment, WC (if there is one in the building)
    That is also a good roof for solar panels.

      @dirtfarmer7472 3 месяца назад +2

      Yes good ideas but Dennis is correct that’s something that the owner will have to do.
      Chris could even do the solar idea on his shop if he wants to.
      Hopefully the owner reads these comments.

    We had a log deck catch fire in late fall while burning brush. The deck sat all winter under 5 feet of snow. When we loaded it out in May, one of the loads caught fire on the way to the mill. Quite the dilemma, the mill didn't want anything to do with a burning load of logs and the trucker was very motivated to get rid of them. They finally dug a quick hole with a dozer and dumped the logs into it.

    You can use a small (6" ish) catch basin at the bottom of each downspout instead of piping them directly to the underground line. In some cases I prefer it because the gutter leaves roll off the grate instead of clogging up the pipe.

      I live in Colorado, in the suburbs of Denver. Many, many years ago they mined coal in various places around here (there are over 1000 old mines in Boulder County alone.
      Anyway, fires have started in various coal mines around the state and many have been active for decades.
      As of last year there were still 38 active coal mine fires underground.. just mind-blowing.
