Good morning Sam, sure cant get use to your red clay, all we have here in the Columbia basin is.....sand. As for your pile of......stuff.....burn-baby-burn...or dig hole in ground, place offending material in hole, cover hole with dirt.😁
God is good! I saw those concrete trucks and laughed... I've been watching for about two weeks... We are neighbors but even better brothers in Christ... Amazing testimony. The Holy Spirit does teach. Amen.
Ok, cool! Always enjoy knowing where folks are from. I definitely know that area. Glad you found the channel. Share it with folks who might enjoy the messages at the end. That is the main focus of the channel. To provide some entertainment and a message of hope at the end for folks who may not be hearing it any where else... God Bless...
Sammy Brother that was a Awesome and a Blessing Video Thanks. I have always wanted to have a lift in a shop that is going to be Awesome Brother 👌 Congratulations on your new Shop. But now everyone is going to want oil changes and service from you. LOL 😆 it's kinda like buying a truck all of a sudden everyone needs help 🤣 Thanks 👍 Brother you all take care GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏
Thank you Jon! I'm excited to finally have a place to work. Not sure they will come here for mechanic work if they have seen some of the things I do...😁 God Bless...
Thanks for the video Sam well done with the dirt moving and packing it down, nicely done 👍✅ All good 👍❤❤it. Take care of yourself and family and be Blessed. Thanks for the message Jesus Saves trust in Him Amen ❤️.
Thank you for this 2nd video Sam ! I like the part of the video with the camera in the dump, it’s original. 6 machines just for you and Diesel, that’s great ! Very good work ! The two concrete trucks are very beautiful ❤
I started pouring concrete in 1999 when I used to live in statesville North Carolina. My first day on the job we worked in Mooresville NC Pouring a large pad for a building where they were going to work on NASCAR trucks. There was about 6 different concrete crews helping that day and it was a 10 bay garage and when 10 concrete trucks came through each bay door and started pouring the concrete my boss handed me a concrete rake and told me to just start leveling it out. I thought OH lord what have I gotten myself into lol but after a year working with them I was doing everything including doing my own jobs. My boss used to grade his pads and driveways with a box blade on an old ford farm tractor. But we had gotten a basement to pour and his tractor was to wide to get through the door. So he said we needed a skid steer but he had never operated one before. But fortunately for him I had a little experience with a skid steer so he rented one and after I graded the basement with it he decided to just buy one. He then left us on a job and said that he found a used Bobcat in the paper so he was going to go look at it. He came back about 4 hours later with a brand new New Holland L668 skid steer. He said Andy go get that off the trailer. I said I thought you were getting a used Bobcat? He said I looked at it but it was a piece of junk so I just bought a new one. Lol I said I am making you too much money lol he laughed. There’s good money in concrete unless you’re the guy getting paid by the hour. But if you’re the guy bidding the jobs and pricing them by the square foot or Yard plus additional fees for control joints you can make good money. After i moved back to West Virginia I started doing my own jobs and I did pretty well but there’s not really a lot of work up here in my area not like down south near Charlotte. There was a lot of growth in that area. You did really good on grading the pad out how many yards of concrete did it take to pour that?
Hi Sam.. Boy Howdy, The Shop is taking Shape. I don’t miss my day’s pouring concrete. It sure keeps ya in Shape though. Great video and content Boss !! We All need a run in with a “Ferrell” .! AMEN 🙏 Great Testimony I appreciate Him sharing. Have a Great Weekend My Friend ! Thank You for What You’re Doing, I appreciate ya 👍🏻
Thanks Evert. I've not poured and finished any concrete and it seems like it would make you leak a little sweat! 😁 Ferrell had a great story and I'm glad he shared it also...
Raise the bed on the Hog and use the bucket on the cat to scrape the bed down - a good bucket full of sticky red clay in there - OOPS - I typed before I seen the whole video. A good amount on diesel's paws too - lol. God Bless!!
Yup, that clay is sticky stuff. I've learned how to wiggle the truck which helps clear the bed too. Diesel stays in the dirt. He loves being dirty I suppose...😁
Ferro blessed me just now. I’m American Indian and my tribe believe in God (breath creator) but we were lacking Jesus. In the 1930s Baptist missionary made his way into south Florida and introduced Jesus to our tribe and my great grand parents, grandparents and my mom got saved. I was eight in 1967 when I got saved. We sure are thankful for that missionary that made his way into the Everglades.
What a great testimony! I would like to share that at some point, in a video, if you don't mind... God Bless and thanks for watching and supporting the channel...😁 Sam
Appreciate hearing somebody's else's testimony! The price was paid at Calvary. John 14:6. If you're his, you can't hide it. Appreciate you and the video!
Sam I sure would like to meet you you do great work and watching the messages at the end has sure brought me back closer to the Lord. If you ever need a hand for a day or two please keep me in mind I would absolutely love it. We’re not to far from each other.
We had a great day. Hope yall did as well. Blairsville isn't to far away. Shoot me an email with your number and I will give you a shout. When your down this way you could stop in for a visit... Sam
Sam That was a Great Testimony. It really hit me in a way that I truly needed. With all that work you had to do I can't believe Lindsey @ SmithWorx didn't come help you out. And I'm sure he could show you how to fly a drone 🤣 Be Safe and God Bless
Thank you Jim. That was a great story and I glad it was a blessing. Thankful that he was willing to share it. Right, Lindsey could at least help a feller out! Could definitely use some drone lessons...😁
Now the mini 3 pro doesn’t have side sensors either it’s got sensors on the front and back and underneath. So be extra careful because it will break easier than the mini 2 if you take the screws out of the back arm of the mini 2 you should be able to pop it back into place. Most generally they just pop out of socket. And the gimbal probably has some dirt or grit in the gimbal motors so you can try taking a q-tip with a little rubbing alcohol and wipe around the joints also you can use air duster to blow around the joints in the gimbal. Hopefully that will help and you get lucky enough that you didn’t damage anything permanently. I would recommend getting DJI care refresh. They have great customer support services and will repair or replace your drone. Great video by the way. Always enjoy watching God bless.
Thanks for the info on cleaning it. I have the refresh plan but I've used up my replacements. 😁 I'm a little rough on drones and well gopros too. I agree DJI has the best customer support of any company I have dealt with. I have some part from another one I crashed. Going to change out the gimbal and hopefully it will be back in service. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for supporting the channel...
Slab looks good. I’m jealous of the lift. I have always wanted one. Great message. I would rather listen to a man like that gentleman then most any seminary graduate.
The concrete pad has already come in handy for a few repairs, love it. I've always wanted a lift too. Hopefully will get it put in one day. Getting power to the shop is going to be a little pricey. Ferrell's testimony was a blessing for sure...
Awesome video Sam. Your testimonies always make my day. This one right here should move everyone and make you a believer. Thanks again and have a blessed week.
That slab looks awesome. Really enjoyed that man's testimony. And the feller running the rake that's 70 and still working reminded me of my pawpaw. Sounded just like him lol.
I know you have to be tickled to have that floor to work off of. That'll be nice. I know God will use men like you and Ferrell to save people. Keep spreading the word brother.
You aren't kidding, I'm loving this concrete floor. God is definitely using this little UA-cam channel to be a blessing to folks. And it's a blessing to me as well. Farrell's testimony can have a big impact in folks life for sure... God Bless and have a great Father's Day...
What's the theory with the rock? And why no moisture barrier? Nobody does rock in my area, I have seen it on videos though. Had one guy recommend putting a layer of sand under the concrete, which is what my dad chose to do and pretty much everyone else just pours directly on the clay with a moisture barrier, which is what I did on mine. I formed mine myself, put down a moisture barrier and put in rebar on 18" grid pattern and dug a 2ft deep footer around the perimeter to keep the possibility of water from washing under and also strengthen the edge so it wouldn't break driving a loaded semi on it because I didn't do an approach ramp on mine. Seems everyone has a little different approach when it comes to concrete...
Not 100% sure why we use rock. It is common to do it here. I suppose maybe the clay could expands and contracts where compacted stone wouldn't. 🤔 That's just a guess though. Ive never seen concrete put directly on clay, but Im sure it happens. Generally it's 4" of 57s or crusher run. Don't see vapor barrier much unless it's in a crawl space or under a mobile home. To be honest I didn't even think about putting plastic down and I have a big roll of it in the barn. It is definitely different methods depending on where you are. We don't see a lot of perimeter footers for pads here unless it's a house or there will be a block stem wall.
@@tristardiggin you would think that the clay would push against the compacted stone and the stone would push against the concrete resulting in the same thing but IDK LoL. They tell me without the moisture barrier that the concrete will sweat during certain times of the year...
Well, my theory on expanding and contracting was just that, a guess. 😁 Basically helps with drainage and a water barrier. Here is what Google told me, makes sense. "What happens if no gravel under concrete? Because concrete is a very porous material, it will absorb any moisture that it contacts. This can cause pooling. Without crushed stone, pooling water will settle under it and erode your slab. Adding a layer of crushed stone will add proper drainage, as well as create a barrier between your slab and the ground"
Not sure on the Googles result. if you have water pooling under your concrete you probably have other issues to start with 😂 I've never seen them put rock under an interstate hwy either. Usually soil cement to firm up the ground. Maybe it helps in an area with seismic activity, or freeze thaw cycles to insulate the concrete from the ground, I guess that's similar to what you said 😂 I know up north they have a totally different way of doing things than in the south due to the climate difference, and you're kinda in the middle 😂
If you have freezing and thawing depending on where you live you use stone. Stone doesnt expand like dirt does when it gets wet. If you dont live somewhere that has those issues like cali you could just pour on clay but if you have a bad sub base your gonna dig down and put stone in to have a solid base. Thats just my 2cents living in pa.
That message was great. I wish we would have had time to record the story about him talking to his uncle. That was a great story! Loving the concrete...
Sam, happy to see you making some progress on your building👍🏼 Have to admit it hurt a little seeing those guys waste that last bit of concrete but….. Thanks for the video and testimony
Thanks Joey. I'm so glad to have the shop started. I hope to pour a concrete apron there in front of the shop pad so the concrete they pour out it is a headstart for it. If not, I agree that was money wasted...
@@tristardiggin I’ve had to do it. It’s better than sending it back because because it’s paid for. Good to see the hog getting put to work also. I’m going to need some sort of off road truck eventually. 10k subs in the near future! Progress my friend 👍🏼
The Hog is a game changer. Very useful on job sites plus it opens up more and bigger job opportunities. You will definitely enjoy it when you get one. 10k subs is getting closer each day, looking forward to hitting that mark…
Thank you for sharing this video His testimony blessed me and my wife, we both cried with joy after hearing his testimony so keep up the good work of spreading the good news and joy may God bless you brother.✝
I was a cement finisher back in the 70's, like anything the finished product is subject to the preparation, you put in the work to have a nice slab but I do wonder why a perimeter footer was omitted but otherwise nicely done. By the way Sam, while I myself am an Atheist I do respect those that follow their chosen faith, like anything that is a personal choice, it is of course up to the individual (at least it should be), I want to commend you and Ferrell for presenting your faith without being insulting to those of us that think differently.
Thank you Peter I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. A slab on grade is pretty common around here because there isn’t any structural weight on the slab. Structural weight is being carried by the poles. I appreciate what you said about Ferrrell and I sharing our faith. It is definitely a personal choice whether we believe in Christ or not. But, I do hope and have prayed this morning that you could come to know the hope that I have through Christ! Sam
Thanks Junior, I appreciate it. Exciting to finally have a good place to work on equipment. The sign looks fantastic. Will do an unboxing and first look on the next video... Sam
I love your content and the messages at the end and that man’s testimony was such an encouragement. Living here in MN I struggle with feeling like elijah “ I alone am left” and just like the Lords response to him this testimony gave me great encouragement.
Thanks I appreciate you supporting the channel. His testimony was great to hear and glad he let me record it. Well, I know there is at least one other Christian in MN, he watches the channel and comments as well...😁 Thanks and God Bless, Sam
I gotta say those concrete people are some of the hardest working talented people I've Ever seen . They always make it look so easy and it's not believe me. I enjoy these videos So much it's incredible what I Learn
Thank you Jim I appreciate that and I agree with you. I keep thinking I want to learn to do small concrete jobs and then I see what they do and the talent it takes. So, I just stick with playing in the dirt. Thanks for supporting the channel and God Bless... Sam
Thank you Jamie, I appreciate that and welcome to the channel. Set your goals and go after them. A feller with a drive to work and succeed can accomplish a lot in his lifetime. God Bless and always put God first in your life and watch what He does.... Sam
Jamie trust on the Lord, and He will lay flat your path... I'm an ol' guy now, and it is clear to me how He opened doors and closed doors to me on my journey through life!
Do you use 3/4 inch washed stone for the base under the concrete? If you said it somewhere in your video and I missed it, I apologize. Haven't had a chance to watch the whole thing.
What I wonder about is when you build the ground up that high I know you're losing heights to the ceiling to the rafters I mean it must not be a big deal.
I don’t know if I could happily spread gravel with a tooth bucket. I really haven’t used one other than excavator buckets of course. Is it tough? You got it looking good there.
It is all I've ever used. Just got use to doing it that way. There is a place with just the right angle where the teeth just barely touch and you use the flat part of the bucket to smooth the rock or dirt. Takes some practice but you can get it nice and smooth...
@@tristardiggin that’s awesome! I’ve got a dozer video I been uploading since Sunday morning. Still waiting on it. Cut about 30 acres of hay this afternoon and now I’m catching up on some tristar Diggin’ with the little one. Hopefully I’ll get this dozer video uploaded.
Quality time with the young ones. Sounds like a little trouble loading the video. That can be frustrating for sure. Looking forward to seeing it around Christmas time...😁
@@tristardiggin yeah I’m hoping I can have it up by tomorrow morning. About 3-6 am they seem to load the best for me. Lindsey from smith works was telling me to change it from MOV to mp4 so I did but I think it might have been even slower. Every video I do takes longer and longer to upload. Man that guys testimony was awesome. I’m glad you caught that and he was willing to share it. Amazing what the Lord can do, and how he finds us. Thanks for a great video and wonderful testimony. That shop is gonna be slick ole son! I’m enjoying the process! Keep it up!
Are they pretty high? I haven't priced any in a long time. Had these and a bunch more stored at a little farm we bought. They were left by the guy we bought it from...
Hey bud 😢 the end of the video really gave me Goosebumps in 2007 I was in caddo county and a guy come from the library handing books and the last book was the holy Bible I got it I read it for three and a half as I satin in county one day we got a from a prison and it will shower day I watched a guy get his throat cut over the shower and I said this was not for me I do believe that it was a way of God saying turn your life around
Thanks for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not a made up word that the world wants to hear that tickles their ears. I’ve been a Pastor for several year and when I hear Christians talk about when God convicted them and they accepted that free pardon of sin through the precious blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ it helps me continue to serve. Thank you again for spreading the unchanging undying Holy Word of God and may his richest blessings be upon you and your family.
Thanks Gary I appreciate that. With dirt I feel like it comes out better if you raise the bed a bit before letting the gate loose. With rock it helps load up the gate with rock before you start spreading. But if you are just dumping rock in one spot it doesn't make a difference. Hope that helps make sense of how I do it... A watered down message doesn't do anyone any good. It just tickles the ears. I'm like you, I want to know what it really says...😁 God Bless, Sam Appreciate you supporting the channel.
Thats a nice concrete floor you got there👍 they did a great job. What do you want a 2 post lift for? Do you work on cars sometimes? The message at the end was such an amazing and powerful story. Amen🙏🫡
Right, the floor is sweet. I'm very pleased with it. I generally do maintenance and service on my vehicles. The lift will just be super handy to have. Hope to find some sort of over head crane also to help with working in the equipment. That message from Ferrell was great and glad he was willing to share it with us... God Bless,
Everyone has to put subtitles on and watch the video from 49 mins it will change your life.
Well said! That was a great testimony for sure…
God Bless
Amen!
Good morning Sam, sure cant get use to your red clay, all we have here in the Columbia basin is.....sand. As for your pile of......stuff.....burn-baby-burn...or dig hole in ground, place offending material in hole, cover hole with dirt.😁
Good morning and yes we have some great red clay around here to build with, good stuff for sure. Yup, burying is a good option.
Thanks,

Ive never seen concrete put directly on clay, but Im sure it happens. Generally it's 4" of 57s or crusher run. Don't see vapor barrier much unless it's in a crawl space or under a mobile home. To be honest I didn't even think about putting plastic down and I have a big roll of it in the barn. It is definitely different methods depending on where you are.
We don't see a lot of perimeter footers for pads here unless it's a house or there will be a block stem wall.
@@tristardiggin you would think that the clay would push against the compacted stone and the stone would push against the concrete resulting in the same thing but IDK LoL. They tell me without the moisture barrier that the concrete will sweat during certain times of the year...
Well, my theory on expanding and contracting was just that, a guess. 😁 Basically helps with drainage and a water barrier.
Here is what Google told me, makes sense.
"What happens if no gravel under concrete?
Because concrete is a very porous material, it will absorb any moisture that it contacts. This can cause pooling. Without crushed stone, pooling water will settle under it and erode your slab. Adding a layer of crushed stone will add proper drainage, as well as create a barrier between your slab and the ground"
Not sure on the Googles result. if you have water pooling under your concrete you probably have other issues to start with 😂 I've never seen them put rock under an interstate hwy either. Usually soil cement to firm up the ground. Maybe it helps in an area with seismic activity, or freeze thaw cycles to insulate the concrete from the ground, I guess that's similar to what you said 😂 I know up north they have a totally different way of doing things than in the south due to the climate difference, and you're kinda in the middle 😂
If you have freezing and thawing depending on where you live you use stone. Stone doesnt expand like dirt does when it gets wet. If you dont live somewhere that has those issues like cali you could just pour on clay but if you have a bad sub base your gonna dig down and put stone in to have a solid base. Thats just my 2cents living in pa.
Pouring concrete and spreading the word. Amen!!
That's a good saying! I like that...😁
WOW! What a testimony and message. The holy spirit was there.
That was great for sure. He started telling me that story and I said wait! We have to record this...😁
That concrete sure will be nice. That was a great testimony.
That message was great. I wish we would have had time to record the story about him talking to his uncle. That was a great story!
Loving the concrete...
Sam, happy to see you making some progress on your building👍🏼 Have to admit it hurt a little seeing those guys waste that last bit of concrete but…..
Thanks for the video and testimony
Thanks Joey. I'm so glad to have the shop started. I hope to pour a concrete apron there in front of the shop pad so the concrete they pour out it is a headstart for it. If not, I agree that was money wasted...
@@tristardiggin I’ve had to do it. It’s better than sending it back because because it’s paid for. Good to see the hog getting put to work also. I’m going to need some sort of off road truck eventually.
10k subs in the near future! Progress my friend 👍🏼
The Hog is a game changer. Very useful on job sites plus it opens up more and bigger job opportunities. You will definitely enjoy it when you get one. 10k subs is getting closer each day, looking forward to hitting that mark…
Thank you for sharing this video His testimony blessed me and my wife, we both cried with joy after hearing his testimony so keep up the good work of spreading the good news and joy may God bless you brother.✝
Thank you Benny I appreciate that! I’m glad it was a blessing to both of you as it was to me also. Made my eyes leak a little as well!
God Bless,
Sam
I was a cement finisher back in the 70's, like anything the finished product is subject to the preparation, you put in the work to have a nice slab but I do wonder why a perimeter footer was omitted but otherwise nicely done.
By the way Sam, while I myself am an Atheist I do respect those that follow their chosen faith, like anything that is a personal choice, it is of course up to the individual (at least it should be), I want to commend you and Ferrell for presenting your faith without being insulting to those of us that think differently.
Thank you Peter I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. A slab on grade is pretty common around here because there isn’t any structural weight on the slab. Structural weight is being carried by the poles. I appreciate what you said about Ferrrell and I sharing our faith. It is definitely a personal choice whether we believe in Christ or not. But, I do hope and have prayed this morning that you could come to know the hope that I have through Christ!
Sam
Making good progress on the building, looking forward to more to come. Stay safe.
Thanks Junior, I appreciate it. Exciting to finally have a good place to work on equipment.
The sign looks fantastic. Will do an unboxing and first look on the next video...
Sam
I love your content and the messages at the end and that man’s testimony was such an encouragement. Living here in MN I struggle with feeling like elijah “ I alone am left” and just like the Lords response to him this testimony gave me great encouragement.
Thanks I appreciate you supporting the channel. His testimony was great to hear and glad he let me record it. Well, I know there is at least one other Christian in MN, he watches the channel and comments as well...😁
Thanks and God Bless,
Sam
What a great story at the end
Yes it was! Glad he was willing to share it...
Do you know why concrete,good concrete work, and divorces are so expensive? Because it's worth it. Great
testimony.
😳
Yup, Ferrell has a great message to tell for sure...
I gotta say those concrete people are some of the hardest working talented people I've Ever seen . They always make it look so easy and it's not believe me. I enjoy these videos So much it's incredible what I Learn
Thank you Jim I appreciate that and I agree with you. I keep thinking I want to learn to do small concrete jobs and then I see what they do and the talent it takes. So, I just stick with playing in the dirt. Thanks for supporting the channel and God Bless...
Sam
God bless you enjoyed your message ! And the one before about blind in the desert on a horse god is amazing !!
Thanks and I agree! The Lord does some amazing things...
God Bless,
Nice❤❤❤❤
Thank you...😁
Pretty new to this channel but man I love it I am a little young still but maybe someday I can do some of the things that you do
Thank you Jamie, I appreciate that and welcome to the channel. Set your goals and go after them. A feller with a drive to work and succeed can accomplish a lot in his lifetime. God Bless and always put God first in your life and watch what He does....
Sam
“Let us not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” Galatians 6:9
Exactly! 😁
Jamie trust on the Lord, and He will lay flat your path... I'm an ol' guy now, and it is clear to me how He opened doors and closed doors to me on my journey through life!
Amen!
Do you use 3/4 inch washed stone for the base under the concrete?
If you said it somewhere in your video and I missed it, I apologize. Haven't had a chance to watch the whole thing.
No problem. I did use 3/4”washed which is called 57’s at the quarry.
Thanks
Aren't you going to put some rebar for strength ?
No rebar, we did fiber and the hog panel and it's like 6.5" thick. Should be good to go...
Thanks,
Sam
Another drone down
Hopefully they give you a frequent buyer discount lol
Great video of keeping it real
really enjoyed the testimony
I need a frequent buyer discount for sure. I enjoyed his testimony as well. Thankful he was willing to share it...
Western Colorado
Hello Curtis, how are things going in Colorado?
What I wonder about is when you build the ground up that high I know you're losing heights to the ceiling to the rafters I mean it must not be a big deal.
The barn was really high to start with. I have 14' on the sides and 16 1/2 in the center after concrete.
Do you still use the 1 ton dump truck in this video
I do use it occasionally! I really like that ole truck…
i know that driver too i worked with him
Ferrell is a dandy! Glad to meet him and talk with him...
I don’t know if I could happily spread gravel with a tooth bucket. I really haven’t used one other than excavator buckets of course. Is it tough? You got it looking good there.
It is all I've ever used. Just got use to doing it that way. There is a place with just the right angle where the teeth just barely touch and you use the flat part of the bucket to smooth the rock or dirt. Takes some practice but you can get it nice and smooth...
@@tristardiggin that’s awesome! I’ve got a dozer video I been uploading since Sunday morning. Still waiting on it. Cut about 30 acres of hay this afternoon and now I’m catching up on some tristar Diggin’ with the little one. Hopefully I’ll get this dozer video uploaded.
Quality time with the young ones. Sounds like a little trouble loading the video. That can be frustrating for sure. Looking forward to seeing it around Christmas time...😁
@@tristardiggin yeah I’m hoping I can have it up by tomorrow morning. About 3-6 am they seem to load the best for me. Lindsey from smith works was telling me to change it from MOV to mp4 so I did but I think it might have been even slower. Every video I do takes longer and longer to upload. Man that guys testimony was awesome. I’m glad you caught that and he was willing to share it. Amazing what the Lord can do, and how he finds us. Thanks for a great video and wonderful testimony. That shop is gonna be slick ole son! I’m enjoying the process! Keep it up!
I agree! His message was great and glad he let me record it...
Any plans for a laser grade box?
Yup, working on a price and availability for Trimble Earthworks on the dozer. It sure would be handy to have...
@@tristardiggin I will be watching for that video! I would love to have that set up. I use a Level Best 3pt dual receiver grade box. You got a dream s
Got a dream of a homestead there!
@@mikekopie9897 thanks Mike. I'm looking forward to it. I would say that laser grader box works good...
I need some of them fence panels just can't find a place you can afford to buy them.
Are they pretty high? I haven't priced any in a long time. Had these and a bunch more stored at a little farm we bought. They were left by the guy we bought it from...
Hey bud 😢 the end of the video really gave me Goosebumps in 2007 I was in caddo county and a guy come from the library handing books and the last book was the holy Bible I got it I read it for three and a half as I satin in county one day we got a from a prison and it will shower day I watched a guy get his throat cut over the shower and I said this was not for me I do believe that it was a way of God saying turn your life around
Thanks Austin. God certainly has a way of getting our attention for sure. Glad you saw and enjoyed Ferrel’s testimony.
Good Bless
Yes I did
AMEN being a Christian is being Christ-like, amen my beloved brother in Christ Jesus.
Right, I certainly enjoyed his testimony for sure...
God Bless
Going to be a nice shop, but I bet you’re going to wish it was bigger…
Probably so. If I can keep from cluttering up with junk I will have some room to work...😁
Thanks for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not a made up word that the world wants to hear that tickles their ears. I’ve been a Pastor for several year and when I hear Christians talk about when God convicted them and they accepted that free pardon of sin through the precious blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ it helps me continue to serve. Thank you again for spreading the unchanging undying Holy Word of God and may his richest blessings be upon you and your family.
Thanks Gary I appreciate that. With dirt I feel like it comes out better if you raise the bed a bit before letting the gate loose. With rock it helps load up the gate with rock before you start spreading. But if you are just dumping rock in one spot it doesn't make a difference.
Hope that helps make sense of how I do it...
A watered down message doesn't do anyone any good. It just tickles the ears. I'm like you, I want to know what it really says...😁
God Bless,
Sam
Appreciate you supporting the channel.
I sure hate them rear shoots on them there concrete trucks !!!
We don't see very many of the front unloaders around here. Not sure why...
Gents always wear gloves concrete isnt good for your skin.. god bless all
👍
Man I hope you see what I wrote
I sure did!
God Bless…
Thats a nice concrete floor you got there👍 they did a great job. What do you want a 2 post lift for? Do you work on cars sometimes? The message at the end was such an amazing and powerful story. Amen🙏🫡
Right, the floor is sweet. I'm very pleased with it. I generally do maintenance and service on my vehicles. The lift will just be super handy to have. Hope to find some sort of over head crane also to help with working in the equipment.
That message from Ferrell was great and glad he was willing to share it with us...
God Bless,
@@tristardiggin ok. Got it. It will come in handy to change the oil of you Ram 5500 and ford dump truck. Good idea👍👍👍
Thanks
