    Andris, not sure how many years I have been watching. But, always hoping for gravel roads. 100,00 subs and kick in 5000 likes and 150 comments to boot. As they say inch by inch it's a cinch, yard by yard it's hard. Kudos to you. I turned 65 last week, and lost my job, at the same time. Not the least bit worried. Thank you for sharing so much and putting all this hard work and excellent filming and editing. #1 after super mom.

Maybe you also need some small ditches on the side of the road to help the water evacuate... you have all the tools, now it´s a bit about trying out and help the water to pi.. off I guess 😁 ;-)

Your work ethic my friend is beyond magnificent, you work like a man possessed. I think you will have to go underground with that drain off the corner of the shed or it may make the area soggy, see how it goes. Mate out of 10, I will give you a twelve.

    It’s said the mark of a good man is what he leaves behind when he’s gone… I disagree. I believe that mark is left for what he’s done for others. You’re a good man Andris, nice work once again! Super Mom &Sis should be happy now with the added space and safety of a more solid foundation under their wheels, especially this upcoming winter. Thanks for taking us along brother, was a good watch. So now I’m wondering if you’re scoping out the ads for a huge old drum or barrel you can fill with concrete to make your own roller. Sure having it vibrate would be best but just rolling it on a scorching hot few days WILL compact down and harden nicely. Stay safe and healthy😉✌🏼

    What a great way to recycle tarmac! And you end up with a nice driveway. As an agricultural engineer/mechanic I can tell you that almost all tractors have those "reducer gearboxes" at the wheels. They are called final drives and are there to massively reduce the strain on the driveshafts linking it all up. Without them the driveshafts would need to have a huge diameter to withstand the torque. You are right, they rarly leak, BUT if they do they are out of oil very quickly since there is barely any in there. You are also meant to change that oil every now and then...
