    Brother, I gotta say, I'm glad I let this one roll through to the end. I was absentmindedly thinking about something else and about to click away when you sat down with the Word and opened it to read, and it pulled me right back in.
    I just recently started a land clearing and excavating company after feeling drawn this particular way (lots of prayer preceeded). I have been watching your videos among others for tips and insights, and then find you pull out the very chapter and verse I finished with during yesterday's morning Bible study. Christ is King.

      Hey thanks for sharing that and I enjoy hearing stories like that how the message was a blessing. It’s cool when the Lord shows us the same things a couple times in a short time.
      I hope your business takes off and does well. You’re doing the most important part and putting the Lord first.

    Boy that was a steep one. A good coat of C&R, and then some compacted asphalt millings would make a good road. I've had good luck using the millings on steep driveways. You don't spin on it like gravel, it doesn't washboard nearly as bad, and it's less maintenance.

    • @tristardiggin
      @tristardiggin  Рік тому

      Right, 48" inches would have gotten them out of the way for sure. We have very little ground freeze here. So, if we are lucky they have been installed 18" in the ground. Sometimes they are less than that depending on the guy who did the line. I have hit plenty of shallow water line repairing driveways, not fun!

      The type of rock goes by several names. Around here it’s called crusher run and in other places it’s called road bond. It’s basically 1/2 stone with a lot of fine material which helps it pack down well.

      Ok, I see. Pipes could be put in those area's but the cost kind of makes it not worth it. The mouth of the pipe would probably get stopped up pretty quick with sticks and leaves. But good idea though...

      Yup, it definitely could have used some switchbacks…

    Ha! It’s fairly steep Sam but it doesn’t hold a candle to my driveway!

    That driveway would never work here it needs a series of switchbacks zig zag turns up the side of the hill with wide turns and stopping points like a landing .

    That driveway should be abandoned and do it a different way.
