    Chris I just love watching your videos. I’ve watched all of Andrew, Camarado,s videos and that’s how I got started watching excavation. Keep up with the really great camera angles under the vehicle on top of the vehicle,etc. you do it so well thank you.

    How many times have you heard Uncle John tell the customer "If you just would have listened to Chris, it would have been much cheaper"? You have a sense from many years of doing this as how to overcome the obstacles nature presents to fulfill the intended project. Thanks for bringing us along to watch you make your vision fulfilled.

      In all honesty, I'll bet very few times, if any, just because of professionalism. I'm sure there would have been an instance or two where they were familiar and on good terms with the customer that they could have got away with that, but it generally doesn't do well for your goodwill or reputation to dunk on customers.

    I use to have the same issues with my 4x4 dually mason dump and converted it to super singles which you can get in load range J / 16 ply.. they're really good for the F-450/550"s ..we actually did the same thing with our fire department brush truck.... no more getting stuck in the greasy surface mud even pulling the trailer...you might want to look into this... Good luck with everything !

    I used to think it would be fun to operate earthmoving equipment, but after watching all your videos I have come to the conclusion that it isn't all skittles and beer out there.
    Sure, after a day I might be able to move the machine around, and perhaps even get some actual work done - but if you handed me a plan / print and told me to 'make it like this', I would not have the first idea of how to proceed.
    Long story short, proper respect to you for not only knowing how to operate the machines with skill and finesse, but also for knowing when and where to apply those skills.
    You must enjoy your job, and from what I have seen you SHOULD enjoy it - because after all, you put in a lot of work and brainsweat to get where you are now; you EARNED the right to sit in air conditioning while shoveljockeys like me sweat it out.

    When you move your equipment front a job site, do you move it all yourself or do you hire someone with a low boy? Just thinking you would spend a lot of time moving things etc.

    • @awd3264
      @awd3264 4 роки тому

      Believe it was on a different channel where it was discussed for the need to build the cost of time and moving equipment into the bid. The bottom line, you would usually make more money doing it yourself rather than paying somebody. Covering costs is what keeps you in business.

I ate beans tonight so don't take everything as gods truth.... or you could start a game show called "wheres the rock"

    Have to talk just short "this is what
    Now" and just do it. Would like to
    Hear more of the little things like
