I love how he moved that rock as if trying to make it go away, just pushing as far as he could!😂
He did good, thanks for viewing
Looking good.
Yes I'm pleased so far
Great video. Looking forward to more progress.
Thanks so much and thanks for viewing
Nice.
Thank you and thanks for viewing
Very nice…it takes organization…../ he is a good worker
Thanks and thanks for viewing
He was organized
Maybe critique the guy a little less. Feels kinda like I'm doing something for the wife.
I will take it into consideration, thanks for watching
Happy Thanksgiving Sir, Looks great...

If you have access to a table saw, a thought on aligning the storage box, stabilizing where you want it positioned… Position the storage box to where you want it, then measure from the back of the storage box to the front of the trailer box. Using that measurement, cut a piece of scrap two-by-four or other board and place between those two surfaces, then use those clamps underneath the storage box to hold it back against the wood while you tighten everything down. Should hold it firmly in place while getting the nuts tightened down. When done, unclamp and pull out the wood (might have to tap it out with a mallet, depending on how snug the fit). Obviously an afterthought on your project, but might help others.
yes that certainly would work, thanks for viewing and thanks for the comment
Looking good, Jeff!
Thank you, It's coming along. Thanks for viewing
Great Job,
Thank you and thanks for viewing!
If u use a piece of flat bar u can put it on the underside so the bolt ends won’t be sticking up on the inside of the box. An old piece of carpet in the bottom of the box will make it a lot quieter going down the road with stuff bouncing around in it. Nice video.
Those are certainly great suggestions. Thank you and thanks for watching. Never thought of the carpet.
Great job.
Thank you. And thanks for viewing.
May I ask from where you sourced the stones?
I used the stones on my property. My camp/homestead is hilly with lots of rocks. The bigger rocks I split down before stacking.
@ thanks! I’m considering building a stone wall. I’m trying to figure out where to get the stone.
@@gazisher2372 I really like the natural stone walls. Hope you find some stone
Old man took it way better, looked like a pro. The others have had less time to learn ;)
LOL guess my age has some benefits. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
As the wife of the old man, I can actually account for this system working great! We have looked a long time for something and this system is truly a good one! We can access internet, make phone calls and even FaceTime. So, ya it is great🥰
Haha! What a funny video!, it’s kinda stinky🤣🤣
Totally the Old Man!
I agree totally! Thanks for viewing and commenting.
It’s just the little things in life! So much love in this video💙💙💙 This brought a happy 💧to my eyes! Video well done🥰
Thats very high praise, thank you
Great video, I even like how you have the gravel driveway set up. The railroad ties makes a great border that can stand vehicle traffic and looks extra clean as a border for the gravel and grass.
Thanks, I appreciate your viewing the video and your comments. I do like the railroad ties border because of the look and it is easy to maintain the grass on the other side.
🥰🥰😍😍😍❤
Thanks for watching and commenting. I will miss watching them!!
@@TOMWAP60 you’re welcome
We leave our feeders out year round and they'll stay through winter. It gets below freezing here in Oregon too.
Thanks for viewing and the information. We leave out our feeders but by mid October don't see any activity.
Looks really nice
Thanks for viewing and your comment. I am pleased with the extra room and its easier to maintain.
You can buy the ox pencils at Lowes
I have used them. Also Pica dry off amazon. I use pica daily in construction.
@@tylerjohngall77 I have never tried the pica dry off.
I purchased another one so I have one at camp and one at home.
What name of backhoe and model # is it please I been looking of a small compact backhoe like this one please
My machine is a 2011 Kubota tractor BX25D. I have really enjoyed it since I purchased it. Thanks for viewing.
I have moved some large rocks with my BX... Love these little tractors.
That’s what she said. 😅
Thanks for watching and commenting. I do agree.
You could also use some wood (thick plywood or a couple 2 by) to make a platform. Mount that to the trailer rails (counter sink the bolt head or use elevator bolts) and then mount the trailer box to the wood. Think of it like an adapter plate for the bolts to line up.
Thanks for watching and the comment. Yes a adapter plate would be a good idea.
Lilac in need of pruning and you tear it out replacing it with grass?
Thanks for viewing and your comment. Tried pruning a couple times over the 30 years I lived here. Never did blown or grow well. I believe bad location. To me it was better to remove.
And after that settles, you'll have a big depression in the yard. Either show yourself tracking that in or what can I think??
Thanks for viewing and your comment. I have a dirt pile here from a previous project. I was planning on letting it settle some and refilling some before I plant grass.
Ya it was about time for that one to go lol.
Yes it was, past time, also removed old oak stump we took down
...one thing about the Greenworks 24v polesaw: it is very cheaply made! The aluminum tubes are not anodized; so they stick terribly when putting together; and especially trying to take it apart! You have to use the locking collar like a slide hammer to knock it apart! I suppose there's some magic spray to put on the tubes to make them a little slippery. I'll have to check.
I haven't had that problem yet with the 60v Greenworks, but I have only used it 2x. Thanks again for viewing and your comments.
When I was looking for a polesaw;I looked specifically for a Greenworks; and specifically for a 24v one. My two overriding factors were price and weight. Like you; I was already very satisfied with my small Greenworks chainsaws; so for me; Greenworks was the obvious choice. I have since acquired an EGO polesaw; and I don't know why I kept it! The whole assembly is hugely heavy; compared to the 24v Greenworks. I don't know if there'll ever come a time when I need such a powerful polesaw; but I've got it; just in case 🙂
Thanks I was wondering about the EGO's, thanks for sharing
My 24v Greenworks threw it's chain too; when my friend was using it when we were cutting a tree down in my backyard. I wasn't keeping an eye on him; so he must not have been continually checking the tension. But like you said; it's no big deal.
Thanks for viewing and you comments. They due seem to jump chain if your not watching
I shopped Amazon for my Greenworks polesaw. I found a USED 24v one for 80.00. Couldn't tell it from brand new. Given that they make 24v chainsaws up to 12"; why do you need a 60v motor for a 10" polesaw?
I use it at my camp also. I have multiple tree stands and lots of trees. I also went 60 volt due to my weed eater already a 6o volt.
@TOMWAP60 I didn't know it at the time; but I am SO glad I got the 24v! I couldn't believe how heavy the saw was at the end of the pole! (One of the things I HATE about being 70 years old! In my 30s and 40s; I could dead lift over 500lbs!) I have since bought the polesaw attachment for my EGO Multi Head tool; and it is noticeably heavier than my Greenworks.
@@John-cj3ve By your experience I am glad I purchased a Greenworks. I am 64 and certainly do not have the strength I did when 55.
I love it ! Great job!
He did do a great job. Thank you for your comment and watching. I will relay your comment to the young man.
Awesome. Love seeing grandparents spend time with their grandkids. And teaching them things. I’m sure he will appreciate this as an adult. I didn’t know Lowe’s sold kits like this. That’s fun!
Thank you, It is always time well spent!!!
i absolutely love the originality of it!! love the rustic look!! 👏👏

Apparently the tach runs off the alternator, so you should notice the engine rpm is slower with the fatter belt. I do 90% of my backhoe and FEL work between 1800 - 2200 rpm. Faster engine speed adds almost no benefit on my machine.
Thanks for the information. I will keep an eye on. Also thanks for watching.
