Yes. He's not happy

They came back and fixed that crack and redid that whole section above the door.

Glad you like them!

You're very welcome

They did on ours.

When you come through and see it in person, let me know what area you would like to see more drone video of. I appreciate feedback.

also like at 4:17, is this the concrete and aggregate for the project? do the y sell some off? was using this type of stone known prior to consturcion and taking into account in the budget?

Right ..... I think you'd probably want to find somebody who was actually affiliated with the project. I'm sure there's someone at Branch Highways or the Virginia Department of Transportation who would be able to help you with that. I'm just a guy with a flying robot camera and an unprofitable UA-cam channel. But if you find all that information out and let me know, I will try to add it to one of the major update videos that we'll be coming up in the next couple of weeks. So let me know, cause I would love to add those facts and figures to the next video.

@@hubbard1 very cool. keep looking fo the excitment in a projedcgt like this. i didn't relaize there were any major new road builds like this happening. i did a quick few quetsions with chatgpt. its a lot of labor. im guessing the prime contracter rents out all the equipment as well and sells the machines off when compltee Certainly! Here’s a detailed breakdown of how the $50 million budget for the Lovers Leap Mountain Highway 58 4-lane construction project might be allocated among labor, materials, and equipment: Typical Cost Breakdown: Labor Costs: Percentage: About 30% to 35% of the total project cost. Estimated Cost: $15 million to $17.5 million Details: This covers wages, benefits, and insurance for construction workers, engineers, project managers, and other personnel. Material Costs: Percentage: About 35% to 45% of the total project cost. Estimated Cost: $17.5 million to $22.5 million Details: This includes the cost of essential construction materials like asphalt, concrete, steel, and roadbase. Equipment Costs: Percentage: About 15% to 20% of the total project cost. Estimated Cost: $7.5 million to $10 million Details: This covers the rental or purchase of heavy machinery and equipment necessary for construction, such as excavators, bulldozers, graders, and paving machines. Example Breakdown for a $50 Million Project: Labor: Estimated Cost: $15 million to $17.5 million Details: Includes all personnel involved in the project from construction crews to site supervisors and engineers. Materials: Estimated Cost: $17.5 million to $22.5 million Details: Covers the purchase of construction materials including asphalt, concrete, steel reinforcements, and other supplies. Equipment: Estimated Cost: $7.5 million to $10 million Details: Includes costs for renting or purchasing construction equipment, such as excavators, bulldozers, graders, and other machinery needed to complete the project. Additional Costs: Permits and Fees: Costs associated with obtaining necessary permits and regulatory compliance. Contingency Funds: Set aside for unexpected expenses or changes in project scope. Summary: For a $50 million highway construction project: Labor might account for approximately $15 million to $17.5 million. Materials might account for about $17.5 million to $22.5 million. Equipment might account for around $7.5 million to $10 million. This distribution provides a general sense of how the budget is allocated among different essential components of the construction project.

Well! Isn't this something! I'll include this in the description of the next video.

Thank you for your time

How much time do you think it will cut off going from Stuart to Hillsville?

@@hubbard1 hard to say, maybe 10 minutes. But with 2 lanes there’s always the chance for a slow moving tractor or dump truck.

@garywood4262 Good point. Being able to pass slow movers will make a huge difference.

What are you talking about?

That adds to the value.

Thank you! Cheers!

There needs to be an organization that makes sure the state replants native trees in the construction area when this is finished. It won't be the same, but at least we could make sure it will look nice again.

You need to contact your local Clayton Dealer. Send them a link to this video and see if they can.

I hope your kitten is doing well.

@@hubbard1 hey yes my kitten is doing good thank you
