God bless that neighbor. More men and women like that are needed in the world. Also the message at the end hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you for sharing that scripture.
Great message today. I always try to give folks the benefit of the doubt. Lord knows I am not perfect. It takes too much energy to be mad...and being calm and understanding benefits everyone involved...especially us. Thank you for making us better. Nice driveway too!
The neighbor sounds like a really nice guy to have as a neighbor. This video was a great message to all of us. Thank you so much. I don’t know who else it helped but it certainly helped me and I’m going to apply it towards my fellow men
Thank you Patrick. It certainly helped me as well! I often jump to confrontation instead of grace and mercy. Thank you for sharing that and it is a blessing to know the Lord is using this little UA-cam channel to bless folks... God Bless and Happy Easter...
Thank you Sam. It's nice to see there are still good people around. You and the other land owner should be proud of yourselves for the way you both handled it. And look at all the extra practice you got on the D5. The roadwork is top notch. Truly enjoyed the message. And say hello to Diesel for me.
Thank you, I appreciate that. A potentially bad situation couldn't have turned out better, that is for sure. The neighbor is a great guy who understands it was an unintentional mistake. Diesel says hello...😃 Glad you enjoyed the message... God Bless, Sam
I don't think I came upon your video by accident. I appreciate your candidness. Exposing your mistake for what it was, a mistake. I needed to hear that, especially today. The neighbor and yourself were an example of true good people and I feel blessed hearing your testimony today. God bless you sir! Have a great day!
God Bless you and I certainly appreciate what you said. I don't believe in coincidence either. The Lord makes things happen that way. He knows what you need to hear when you need it... Thanks, Sam
Honesty and Accountability! Being able to handle tough situations, taking life as it comes with a grain of salt and humility is what separates most. Both parties handled the situation with grace. Great video and a great gospel at the end.
FIRST TIME I WATCHED ONE OF YOUR VIDEO'S. I OPERATED A JOHN DEERE 650G FOR YEARS DOWN IN MISSOURI. YOUR CAT LOOKED LIKE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE. IT DID A GOOD JOB. ALSO BEING A CHRISTIAN, I REALLY ENJOY YOUR BIBLE READINGS. GOD BLESS. RON DORLAC-WELDON, IOWA.
Thank you Ron and welcome to the channel. I appreciate that. The D5 weighs around 20k, very strong and just over all impressed with what it can do. Glad you enjoyed the message and that is definitely the focus of the videos, to share the Gospel of Christ. God Bless, Sam
I think it made the video better leaving the mistake in it. It’s nice to hear of decent understanding people left in this world and hopefully someone else can learn from this man’s attitude that stuff happens and its not worth being angry over. Like you said, it couldn’t have been a better time to learn a valuable lesson about checking maps and that man being a decent human helped make that lesson not so painful other than some time lost. As always, loved seeing the pup, such a handsome devil and glad he gets to hang out with you at work!
Thanks Steve. And you are right about leaving it in. This mess up certainly helped me to learn to pay attention and to learn from this fellers attitude. So, as you said, hopefully others can see this and it help them as well. Diesel is a good ole friend and love having him with me...
i enjoyed your post, and was happy you aer a man of GOD. thanks i look forward to your next and well look back to see your other vidios. from East,Texas Brother Albert 1947
I found, years ago, it is how when approached your attitude will be the deciding factor of how the conversation will go. I learned that while taking a detour in my life to see if I could handle driving a big rig. Well, I did for 5 years, just to prove it to myself. My attitude towards the DOT Officer's always went well. You treat them with respect, you will get the same. Even with a small mistake you did a great job!
What a great video! The lesson goes far beyond making sure your working on the right property. Thank you for putting this out there instead of hiding that it happened.
Gotta honestly say I’ve never screwed up that bad I have been on someone else’s property, but I always try to verify the property lines myself so this issue never happens you definitely handled it great.
Road looks great! Sure was a bummer about cutting a road on the wrong property, but like he said things happen, and he trusted you to fix it. Great job and great message!
The end of that road had all the ingredients for a bad ending with a high strung adjoining landowner. I was watching in anticipation wondering if you were just leading us along for a ride.....but when I saw the red flags and the text on the screen of the upcoming error I was praying for the best. We have some really good people where we live and this is a great example of that. The message from Proverbs 19 and Romans 12 was the right medicine for this occasion. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Mark! Just as I figured it out and that sick feeling you get in your gut kicked in I heard two 4 wheelers coming up the hill. Thankfully it went very well... God Bless and Happy Easter...
You remind me of my old boss every morning before we got the work day started we would sit down and say a few words from the scriptures and to me this was something new .just want to say I love your content and stay blessed ..from Texas
Just found this and watched. Had a conflict with my son in law just 2 days ago. He was TOTALLY in the wrong, and if I wasn’t paralyzed and able to speak I may have lashed out, but thankfully I got a couple days to think and pray about it. In my heart I was yelling 😕, and will soon address the issue via text, but a couple days to mull things over certainly helped. Nothing worse than being around a hot headed person. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey Dennis, I’ve been there all to many times. And sometimes, more so than not, I made bad decisions because I acted in haste instead of taking time to make a better decision. Hope things turn out good for your situation… God Bless
Thanks and I'm glad you like it too. And welcome to the channel. I agree, with God all things are possible. I appreciate you supporting the channel... God Bless, Sam
Thank you! I have no idea how your video came on to my feed but I'm glad it did. Your message and your encounter with that man sure hit home right now! God bless!
Thanks Sheldon! I appreciate you watching and especially supporting the channel. No doubt the Lord brought this video into your path to help you. That is how he does things. Seen it happen in my life and lives of others, many times. God Bless...
Thank you for you message at the end of your video, and it opened my eyes to how I am and the scripture was spot-on for me to work on my attitude in my response to others! Thank you!!
Sounds like we both got a lesson on that one. Sure did me a lot of good too. I appreciate you sharing that and for supporting the channel... God Bless, Sam
Hi Sam. Great message, thank you. I'm sorry this job was a bit of a struggle at times. You set a good example on now to deal with struggles, even multiple one's in the same work day. Nice to watch you live out your faith! He has Risen! Ed from Chicago 🙂
Thanks Ed! Struggles seem to be normal now around this place! Just roll with it I suppose. Appreciate the comment. I agree He is risen! Happy Easter...
That neighbor's worth is waiting gold. Let's hope the new people building there treat their new neighbor very nicely. Just hearing about a good thing like that and they just made my whole day better.
It is humbling to see what the Lord is doing to reach folks with the message thru a little UA-cam channel. God Bless and thanks for supporting it... Sam
I never commented, but I came across this video and watched it all the way through. I knew I had to. Your words have changed my outlook and the daminer of my entire day. Thank you, and I look forward to more of you videos in the future.
Thank you Allen, what you said let's me know the videos and the messages have a purpose. I appreciate you sharing that and glad the video has been a blessing... God Bless, Sam
Thank you Keith. A message like this helps keep me going, knowing the Lord is using it to bless folks. Thanks for your support of the channel... God Bless, Sam
I just found this one to watch. The way it started out reminded me of Willie Nelson singing "The Last Thing I Needed (the first thing this morning). When you were pulling down that vine, I thoroughly expected you to cut loose with a Johnny Weismuller (sp ?) Tarzan yell and swing down toward the County Road. You're "It happens" encounter with the other property owner is one that renews one's faith in reasonable people. I'm glad we had talked about this type of totally unscripted "reality TV". You present each day's work "warts and all". I'd have to rate this a top favorite video from you. As Grannie always said, "Bless your heart". 😊
Man this video really hits home today. I watch random digging videos and was not expecting a lesson at the end of the video and as a fellow Christian I respect what you do and hope God blesses you in all that you do. Really encouraged me to be more open with others about Christianity no matter the platform.
Thank you Igor! That is exactly what the Lord led me to do. Make videos for folks to watch as a platform to share the word at the end. Thank you for sharing this message and thankful it has encouraged you to be bold in your faith! God Bless and have a great Easter celebrating our risen Savior!
I have to agree with Igor. I was not expecting that at the end since I also stumbled upon this strictly from the construction excavation point of view. But what a refreshing ending. And I agree, it does give you hope that there are decent people still in this world. Turns out I'm ending my day with this video. I think that's very fitting. This is the quiet part of my day as I am quadriplegic from a car accident about 30 years ago. I used to work in engineering consulting, but my joy was hands-on carpentry, construction , excavation , anything I could do outdoors. Never got into heavy equipment but certainly small equipment. And I enjoy living vicariously through these videos. So thank you again for a nice ending to my day and restoring my faith in people. It's been a difficult time lately, medical and otherwise, too much to divulge here, but this video and the ending definitely was uplifting. Thank you for that. Keep up the good work.
Thank you J Davis! I'm thankful that you found the video and it was a blessing. I believe the Lord has given this platform to do just that. To offer hope through a message from His Word. Thank you for the encouragement and really appreciate your support of the channel. I'm praying for you this morning and hope things improve. God Bless, Sam
Thank you! And I appreciate the feedback and your support to help the channel grow. Without yall the channel would be nothing. And together we can reach more folks with the Gospel. So, God Bless and Thanks... Sam
Just watched this video on my TV (don't have my account on the TV hooked up, so it was random.) Enjoyed it, found building a road very interesting, but the message afterward was awesome!!
Thank you and I appreciate the feedback on the message and video. The Lord has given a platform to share the word and thanks for supporting the channel. God Bless you for the work you are doing! Sam
Who needs to pay for therapy when I can just watch you make a road! Great video and great job. Got a good, encouraging message to boot. Kudo's to the neighbor for handling it like we all should...and he knew you would take care of it.
I agree, building a good road is therapy for sure! Glad you enjoyed the message as well. The neighbor was amazingly understanding without a doubt… God Bless, Sam
Your reading scripture warmed my heart and loved your view on life. I'm not perfect and was a quick tempered person not many years ago. Too forgive and put it behind me made me feel good about my letting go and felt that I was doing as Jesus would. Thank you and for sure will watch your work. This was my first time watching and won't be the last my friend.
Thank you Jaso! I can relate to what you said. I have the same struggles and have found that letting it go and putting it behind me, as you said, is better than fuming over it. Thank you for supporting the channel... God Bless, Sam
I'm glad youtube showed me your video today this was the first time I've watched your videos or heard of your channel. It was great and a blessing to see this and to see your mistake and hear the story. It's also amazing to see your Bible reading at the end. I've never seen anyone do that before. I wish I could subscribe twice. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Well, thank you and welcome to the channel. I'm glad you are here as well. I wish you could subscribe twice also. 😁 I sure appreciate your encouragement and support. It means a lot to have good folks enjoying the message and the videos. God Bless, Sam
Always better to make a new friend than an enemy especially when that friend has a dozer lol. Just got 80 acres of raw land so I’m learning a lot from you about how to do some of the work so I appreciate what you do and the messages. Thank you! 🙏
Hey Bryan that’s exactly right! Wow, that could have gone bad but it worked out as good as it could have. That 80 acres is pretty cool to have. Good to hear the videos are a help to you and especially the message… God Bless
Glad we found your channel! You're doing a great job with the content and love the biblical base for your content. We use to be on staff at a church in Cleveland Tn. Be encouraged and keep making these videos! Mike & Karen
Thank You Mike and Karen! I sure appreciate the encouragement and your support of the channel. Welcome and I'm glad yall are here. I'm just about 20 or so minutes from Cleveland. God Bless, Sam
I watched the Easter video and message and told you I was a new sub. Now going backwards watching your videos BUT God knew I needed this message TODAY in His perfect time! Thank you for being His vessel.
Been there, and done that so many times. The best skills I have ever obtained is learning to stick/mig/tig weld and run a lathe/milling machine. It's so empowering, especially if you have a buddy or two with a plasma table and water jet. Love the reflection at the end via scripture. You are my new favorite Christian excavator.
great video! I too have made mistakes while being in the construction profession for 40 yrs. I really do beleive a soft word is better to solve issues than an angry response. It is hard when someone is cursing you to be calm and be the voice of reason.But I really like the verse you read about living in peace if at all possible. God bless you!
Thank you Randy. I have had a few comments criticizing my mistake. But, I put this in the video to show how things can be resolved with out conflict. But even trying to do that there are folks bent on being negative and emphasizing the mistake. But, we look past the negativity and see the work the Lord is doing! Thank you for sharing that... God Bless and Happy Easter...
Awesome video Sammy Thanks for sharing 👍 And Thank You for the honesty and sharing. God wouldn't have wanted it any other way 🙌 This world would be a much better place if we all handled things differently. God Bless you Brother and have a BLESSED Day
I'm disabled so when I have days like that I just go to bed I have too many days like that I stopped fighting them a long time ago I think that's why I survived I'm 65 keep your health it's a whole different world without just a cloud going by torches you getting old sucks big-time God bless and good health❤
God Bless you! I hope today is different, that you have a blessed day. Always keep it close that as a Christian this is not our eternal home. The Bible says we have a home eternal in the Heavens, a house not made with hands. A place where there is no more pain, suffering or death and our tears will be wiped away. Sam
Thank you Ray! I'm thankful for the encouragement and appreciate you supporting the channel to help reach more folks with the message. God Bless and Happy Easter...
I've ran equipment my whole life, i was in a skiddy when i was 6 years old, working with my pops, and you did an awesome job on this road. I was thinking maybe a higher bank on that corner for trucks to come in, but when You walked it, i could tell that thing was banked perfect and just wide enough. Good job, man.
Thank you Gregory! I sure enjoy projects like this. Would have loved a couple more days to fine tune it and dress it up. Appreciate you supporting the channel... Sam
Don't look at it as building a road on the wrong property, look at it as installing a passing lane. Lol. That man is wise, he understands that people make mistakes. But, just like God gives us grace and mercy when we mess up, that man had compassion and understanding. I used to react wrongly when I was younger, but I'm getting better at it as I get older. Nice video Sam and thanks for sharing.
I don't even own land or am into excavating but somehow i found my way to this video and found it awesome, Thank you for including the message in the the outro pls do not stop.
This is a great comment to let me know the videos are interesting to folks who normally don't watch these kind of videos. So thanks for sharing that... God Bless, Sam
"I build them a road but they didnt want it"...man that cracked me up😂😂😂. I just burst out in laughter. Ohh that was hilarious. I can only imagine how silly you might have felt...walking to the neighbor telling hey man...i built you a new road... but it wasn't meant for you😂😂😂😂 But it is the neighbour's response that saved the day. Kudos to him👌🏼
Be encouraged brother! Your video showed great roadbuilding, and when I saw you holding His Scripture at the end, I knew you were a good man. Hope to meet some day and thank you for practical teaching from His Word.
Man,this is the first video that I recall watching of your channel and as a Christian myself I was shocked how well the neighbor handled the honest mistake.thanks for sharing this video that they’re is still a few good people left. God Bless you sir!! Ha,I will be subscribing to your channel
Thank you Terry and welcome to the channel. He was a great guy and handled it better than I would have imagined! There are some good folks left in the world! 😀 God Bless, Sam
Greetings, I liked the Australian Shepherd dog, they are very intelligent, I had one and it died from the heat, but my father is an Australian Shepherd and he follows me everywhere, good video.👍
Shout out from Queensland, Australia from a retired farmer and engineer. Mate I’m no Christian so gave that last section a miss but really appreciate you posting your videos for us to watch. Mate, my experience in life is you only get out of folks what your prepared to put into them, admitting your error was probably all he had to hear, country folk see a lot of things in their lives, births and deaths of animals, near accidents working around machinery and such like so to say they are the salt of the earth is a truth of life and hence more forgiving by nature. Anyway, great road, love your commentary and explanations and the various scope of your work. Take care
Thank you! I definitely agree with what you said about country folks. Seems we are a bit more tolerant to things, understanding things like this happen. I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. It’s cool to know folks in Australia watch the videos. UA-cam is a great way to see real life in other parts of the world. Thanks, Sam
Thank you Thomas and welcome to the channel. I really appreciate the support for my little channel. Hope all is going well for your grading business! God Bless and Happy Easter
So glad you told "the rest of the story". UA-cam suggested this video in my feed. No coincidences, God is Good! Blessings for your honesty. I'll be back, I'm now a new Sub'❤
Something I pray for every day is for the Lord to help me be more patient , it applies to work, how I interact with people and how I go about daily life. Happy Easter to your family Sam. New subscriber from Ky.
Wow! You said the "P" word. 😁 Nothing like other folks trying our patience. But, it's something we can work on to get a little better at each day. Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel. I certainly appreciate the support. God Bless and Happy Easter!
Man that road looks good!! I seen you get out and remove that little tree that fell over your dozer blade. I know the feeling. I get a lot of that mulching. A lot of times they try and pin me in the machine by falling in front of the door. Maybe if I keep hoping and praying I’ll have me a fancy dozer like you and ole smith worx! I sure do love a dozer. This was great video! Awesome message. Keep it up!!
Thank you! I saw a few of those limbs in your mulching video that was trying to get you. Especially that cedar that sent the CAT bucking and jumping. I thought ouch that was a rough one. I didn't use to wear my belt in the skid steer. But I ate the glass door pretty hard one day and every since then I wear it in there. Keep going after it and the dozer may be a reality.
@@tristardiggin yeah I hung that cedar just off the edge of the mulching head and when it slipped in it tossed me forward. I wear the belt on the hills now. Holds me in my seat better and kinda helps my back not hurt as bad. I’ve slammed my head into the roof a time or two. I get upset when my hat comes off too lol. The belt on the dozer is a pretty good call too. I’m gonna keep pushing for a good future. See what the good Lord has in store for me.
Wow am I glad that neighbor was understanding, I can only hope when I’m in a situation like that I get the same treatment. It’s not if, it’s when it happens lol
That guy was nice 👍 onX hunt is a great way to see property lines in the future I use it all the time when I’m logging. Your not to shabby on that dozer your customers are lucky to hire you
Thank you Mitchell I appreciate that. I use onX also, it is great. I misunderstood which post was the corner post. One of those things I didn't check because I thought I knew.🙄 Won't do that again...😁
I had no idea there was gonna be a bible lesson at the end of this video and I really had no idea that it was gonna be exactly what I needed to hear at that very moment. Wow, God is amazing. Speaking directly to me thru a random video on the internet.
Thank you for sharing that. That is exactly the purpose of the videos, to provide some entertainment and at the end, suprise, there is a message. I'm appreciate you supporting the channel so we can share the message with more folks like you who needed that message at that time. God is good and that is definitely how He works... God Bless, Sam
Thank you! I certainly enjoy dozer work. Especially cutting a road through the woods. The best way to learn is crank that thing and go. 😁 Glad you enjoyed the message and you are right about controlling anger. That is a tough thing to do... God Bless and Happy Easter...
I've been watching Chris on his UA-cam channel Letsdig 18 for several years. After watching a few of your shows. I think I found my other channel to watch.
Just came across your video as I'm getting ready for church, I appreciate your video and you have a new subscriber you blessed me this morning with some things I needed to hear. Happy Easter he is risen!
Well, God bless you and I appreciate those words this morning. Welcome to the channel and thanks for your support. It's exciting to hear how God is using this little channel to be a blessing to folks... Happy Easter...
The important thing is to admit mistakes and try our best to make them right. Some folks would really be upset over what happened, but the fact you told the owner you messed up probably set the tone for the interactions you had with him. Most people are very reasonable and understanding. No way would I be mad at all and as long as it is fixed up right, it would be a distant memory that never made any difference to me or anyone else for that matter. Good job!
Best video on UA-cam!!! 2 men handling business like grown men.
Thanks Robert! It was a great outcome for sure…
Sam
God bless that neighbor. More men and women like that are needed in the world. Also the message at the end hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you for sharing that scripture.
Thank you Brian! With neighbors like that the world would be a better place for sure!😀
Glad the message was a blessing…
God Bless
Great message today. I always try to give folks the benefit of the doubt. Lord knows I am not perfect. It takes too much energy to be mad...and being calm and understanding benefits everyone involved...especially us. Thank you for making us better. Nice driveway too!
Thank you Jay, I appreciate that and well said…

That’s great advice people can treat you how they want but it’s up to you how you react
Right, all we can control is our response and that is very difficult to do for sure...
I think it made the video better leaving the mistake in it. It’s nice to hear of decent understanding people left in this world and hopefully someone else can learn from this man’s attitude that stuff happens and its not worth being angry over. Like you said, it couldn’t have been a better time to learn a valuable lesson about checking maps and that man being a decent human helped make that lesson not so painful other than some time lost.

A admitted mistake was handled with two words "IT HAPPENS"
i enjoyed your post, and was happy you aer a man of GOD. thanks i look forward to your next and well look back to see your other vidios.

Thank you Josey! And welcome to the channel. I sure appreciate what you said.

I found, years ago, it is how when approached your attitude will be the deciding factor of how the conversation will go.

My attitude towards the DOT Officer's always went well. You treat them with respect, you will get the same. Even with a small mistake you did a great job!

Great message my friend. Keep it real. Im so proud of that homeowner for being so nice.
Thank you Mike and glad you enjoyed the message. The guy was very considerate and it worked out great…

Wow great video but even greater message, thank you for that! Definitely needed the reminder!
Thank you Noah! Glad you enjoyed it and that it was a help to you. I appreciate you supporting the channel and God Bless...

What a great video! The lesson goes far beyond making sure your working on the right property. Thank you for putting this out there instead of hiding that it happened.
Thank you Ripsaw (cool UA-cam name) I appreciate that. And I learned a lot from this and hope by sharing it others will as well.
Thanks,

Gotta honestly say I’ve never screwed up that bad I have been on someone else’s property, but I always try to verify the property lines myself so this issue never happens you definitely handled it great.

Thanks Lee, yup it worked out great. I was expecting a confrontation and it turned out to be a blessing...
God Bless...
Everyone would like to have some kind of Access road this is why guy didn't care LOL if would have happened to me I'd thank you lol
Right, good way to look at it...
I love the message. It is great to see a fellow believer share the gospel in a normal life setting.
Thank you Glenn, I sure appreciate that!
God Bless,
Sam
The end of that road had all the ingredients for a bad ending with a high strung adjoining landowner. I was watching in anticipation wondering if you were just leading us along for a ride.....but when I saw the red flags and the text on the screen of the upcoming error I was praying for the best. We have some really good people where we live and this is a great example of that. The message from Proverbs 19 and Romans 12 was the right medicine for this occasion. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Mark! Just as I figured it out and that sick feeling you get in your gut kicked in I heard two 4 wheelers coming up the hill. Thankfully it went very well...
God Bless and Happy Easter...

Thank you Adrian and welcome to the channel. Sounds like a good boss who was concerned about you guys...
Thanks for supporting the channel...
Great attitude from both of you guys.
Thanks! That could have definitely turned into a bad situation but he was an exceptionally gracious neighbor…
Just found this and watched. Had a conflict with my son in law just 2 days ago. He was TOTALLY in the wrong, and if I wasn’t paralyzed and able to speak I may have lashed out, but thankfully I got a couple days to think and pray about it. In my heart I was yelling 😕, and will soon address the issue via text, but a couple days to mull things over certainly helped. Nothing worse than being around a hot headed person. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey Dennis, I’ve been there all to many times. And sometimes, more so than not, I made bad decisions because I acted in haste instead of taking time to make a better decision. Hope things turn out good for your situation…
God Bless
The message at the end of this video surprised me. I knew I like this channel!with God all things are possible!

God Bless...
A man who doesn't make mistakes,makes nothing!Good man for putting it right and holding up your hands.Good job Man👍

God Bless and Happy Easter!
Amen, brother. I appreciate your humility.
Thank you James, I appreciate that!😀
Sam
Dang you do some nice work! Amen to that message….🙏🏻
Thanks!😀
Thank you for you message at the end of your video, and it opened my eyes to how I am and the scripture was spot-on for me to work on my attitude in my response to others! Thank you!!
Sounds like we both got a lesson on that one. Sure did me a lot of good too. I appreciate you sharing that and for supporting the channel...
God Bless,
Sam
Thank you. I needed to hear the proverbs. God bless you for having posted this.
Thank you Bill! I'm glad it was a blessing and I appreciate you sharing that. I appreciate you supporting the channel and God Bless...

Hi Sam.
Great message, thank you.
I'm sorry this job was a bit of a struggle at times. You set a good example on now to deal with struggles, even multiple one's in the same work day.
Nice to watch you live out your faith!
He has Risen!
Ed from Chicago 🙂
Thanks Ed! Struggles seem to be normal now around this place! Just roll with it I suppose. Appreciate the comment. I agree He is risen! Happy Easter...
HE IS RISEN INDEED❤
Amen!!!
That neighbor's worth is waiting gold. Let's hope the new people building there treat their new neighbor very nicely. Just hearing about a good thing like that and they just made my whole day better.
Thanks Jim. The folks building the house are good folks too. They already know each other and get along great...
worth his weight in gold*
Yes, I agree..
Nothing like brand new dozer all every pins new every thing works nice and tight
It's actually older than you think. It is a 2018 with 2500 hours on it. But it does a great job for sure...
Thanks,
Sam
Great video, start to finish!
Thank you Joel, I appreciate that!😀
Sam
Tristar your a blessing to those that have ears to hear.
It is humbling to see what the Lord is doing to reach folks with the message thru a little UA-cam channel.
God Bless and thanks for supporting it...
Sam
Agreed 100 fold!
Thank you for such a blessing today.
You are so welcome!
God Bless,
Sam
Enjoyed watching 😊
Thank you Loretta. I appreciate you supporting the channel...
God Bless...
I never commented, but I came across this video and watched it all the way through. I knew I had to. Your words have changed my outlook and the daminer of my entire day. Thank you, and I look forward to more of you videos in the future.
Thank you Allen, what you said let's me know the videos and the messages have a purpose. I appreciate you sharing that and glad the video has been a blessing...
God Bless,
Sam
Thank you for our Father's message, to all of us!!!
Thank you! I appreciate that...
Wow... that is an understanding neighbor.
Right, that could have gone bad but he was a very understanding fellow for sure…
Your a Good man.Your right we are human and make mistakes.5percent is the problem.95 percent is how you handle it.GOD BLESS.
Thanks Bammer and that is good advice! We need to focus more on the 95% part and less on the 5%.
Happy Easter and God Bless...
Sam
Give thanks in all things, The Lord be praised. Your words was refreshing thanks.
Thank you Keith. A message like this helps keep me going, knowing the Lord is using it to bless folks.
Thanks for your support of the channel...
God Bless,
Sam
I just found this one to watch. The way it started out reminded me of Willie Nelson singing "The Last Thing I Needed (the first thing this morning).
When you were pulling down that vine, I thoroughly expected you to cut loose with a Johnny Weismuller (sp ?) Tarzan yell and swing down toward the County Road.
You're "It happens" encounter with the other property owner is one that renews one's faith in reasonable people.
I'm glad we had talked about this type of totally unscripted "reality TV". You present each day's work "warts and all".
I'd have to rate this a top favorite video from you.
As Grannie always said, "Bless your heart". 😊
Right, this was a doozy and a definite learning experience. I’m very thankful the neighbor was understanding. It could have went bad quick…
I'm really glad I found your channel! I love what your doing. Society needs leaders like you, to help lead them/us.
Thank you Danny, I really appreciate the encouragement. Welcome to the channel and glad you are enjoying the videos and the messages.
God Bless,
Sam
Amen
Man this video really hits home today. I watch random digging videos and was not expecting a lesson at the end of the video and as a fellow Christian I respect what you do and hope God blesses you in all that you do. Really encouraged me to be more open with others about Christianity no matter the platform.
Thank you Igor! That is exactly what the Lord led me to do. Make videos for folks to watch as a platform to share the word at the end. Thank you for sharing this message and thankful it has encouraged you to be bold in your faith! God Bless and have a great Easter celebrating our risen Savior!
I have to agree with Igor. I was not expecting that at the end since I also stumbled upon this strictly from the construction excavation point of view. But what a refreshing ending. And I agree, it does give you hope that there are decent people still in this world.
Turns out I'm ending my day with this video. I think that's very fitting. This is the quiet part of my day as I am quadriplegic from a car accident about 30 years ago. I used to work in engineering consulting, but my joy was hands-on carpentry, construction , excavation , anything I could do outdoors. Never got into heavy equipment but certainly small equipment. And I enjoy living vicariously through these videos. So thank you again for a nice ending to my day and restoring my faith in people. It's been a difficult time lately, medical and otherwise, too much to divulge here, but this video and the ending definitely was uplifting. Thank you for that. Keep up the good work.
Thank you J Davis! I'm thankful that you found the video and it was a blessing. I believe the Lord has given this platform to do just that. To offer hope through a message from His Word. Thank you for the encouragement and really appreciate your support of the channel. I'm praying for you this morning and hope things improve.
God Bless,
Sam
I couldn’t agree more, thank you for standing with your values and offering a teaching.
Thank you! And I appreciate the feedback and your support to help the channel grow. Without yall the channel would be nothing. And together we can reach more folks with the Gospel.
So, God Bless and Thanks...
Sam
🙏📿🤲. God Bless 🙏 You and your family and the world 🌎
Thank you, I certainly appreciate the blessing.
God Bless,
Sam
Just watched this video on my TV (don't have my account on the TV hooked up, so it was random.) Enjoyed it, found building a road very interesting, but the message afterward was awesome!!
Thank you and I appreciate the feedback on the message and video. The Lord has given a platform to share the word and thanks for supporting the channel.
God Bless you for the work you are doing!
Sam
Thanks for sharing!! 👍🏼
✝️💜✝️
Thank you Chas for supporting the channel.
God Bless,
@@tristardiggin ... My pleasure brother!! Glad I found your channel... ✔✝️
"It happens"! Loved this one!
Thanks I appreciate that…😀👍
Who needs to pay for therapy when I can just watch you make a road! Great video and great job. Got a good, encouraging message to boot. Kudo's to the neighbor for handling it like we all should...and he knew you would take care of it.
I agree, building a good road is therapy for sure! Glad you enjoyed the message as well. The neighbor was amazingly understanding without a doubt…
God Bless,
Sam
Thank you brother for your honesty and example to be able to uphold our Lord in your adversity. Be blessed in all you do. 💕👏👏🙏🇬🇧 Amen
Thank you Maud and I certainly appreciate what you said. Thanks for supporting the channel to help reach more folks with the message.
God Bless,
Sam
Your reading scripture warmed my heart and loved your view on life. I'm not perfect and was a quick tempered person not many years ago. Too forgive and put it behind me made me feel good about my letting go and felt that I was doing as Jesus would. Thank you and for sure will watch your work. This was my first time watching and won't be the last my friend.
Thank you Jaso! I can relate to what you said. I have the same struggles and have found that letting it go and putting it behind me, as you said, is better than fuming over it.
Thank you for supporting the channel...
God Bless,
Sam
Loved the ending of this video
Thanks Dwayne, I appreciate that!
I'm glad youtube showed me your video today this was the first time I've watched your videos or heard of your channel. It was great and a blessing to see this and to see your mistake and hear the story. It's also amazing to see your Bible reading at the end. I've never seen anyone do that before. I wish I could subscribe twice. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Well, thank you and welcome to the channel. I'm glad you are here as well. I wish you could subscribe twice also. 😁
I sure appreciate your encouragement and support. It means a lot to have good folks enjoying the message and the videos.
God Bless,
Sam
Always better to make a new friend than an enemy especially when that friend has a dozer lol. Just got 80 acres of raw land so I’m learning a lot from you about how to do some of the work so I appreciate what you do and the messages. Thank you! 🙏
Hey Bryan that’s exactly right! Wow, that could have gone bad but it worked out as good as it could have. That 80 acres is pretty cool to have. Good to hear the videos are a help to you and especially the message…
God Bless
Glad we found your channel! You're doing a great job with the content and love the biblical base for your content. We use to be on staff at a church in Cleveland Tn. Be encouraged and keep making these videos! Mike & Karen
Thank You Mike and Karen! I sure appreciate the encouragement and your support of the channel. Welcome and I'm glad yall are here. I'm just about 20 or so minutes from Cleveland.
God Bless,
Sam
I watched the Easter video and message and told you I was a new sub. Now going backwards watching your videos BUT God knew I needed this message TODAY in His perfect time! Thank you for being His vessel.
Yes Sir! That is the way the Lord works. He knows what we need and when we need it.
God bless and thanks for supporting the channel...
Sam
Great testimony and the way God let the man’s attitude speak to your heart and in return with us. God Bless.
Thank you! And what a great way to say that. That is exactly what happened...
Been there, and done that so many times. The best skills I have ever obtained is learning to stick/mig/tig weld and run a lathe/milling machine. It's so empowering, especially if you have a buddy or two with a plasma table and water jet. Love the reflection at the end via scripture. You are my new favorite Christian excavator.
Thanks Justin I appreciate that. I definitely need to learn how to weld. 😁
Glad you are enjoying the messages at the end...
God Bless...
great video! I too have made mistakes while being in the construction profession for 40 yrs. I really do beleive a soft word is better to solve issues than an angry response. It is hard when someone is cursing you to be calm and be the voice of reason.But I really like the verse you read about living in peace if at all possible. God bless you!
Thank you Randy. I have had a few comments criticizing my mistake. But, I put this in the video to show how things can be resolved with out conflict. But even trying to do that there are folks bent on being negative and emphasizing the mistake. But, we look past the negativity and see the work the Lord is doing! Thank you for sharing that...
God Bless and Happy Easter...
Awesome video Sammy Thanks for sharing 👍 And Thank You for the honesty and sharing. God wouldn't have wanted it any other way 🙌 This world would be a much better place if we all handled things differently. God Bless you Brother and have a BLESSED Day
Thank you Jon. It's good for folks to see a good story after all the bad stuff we see and hear every day...
Sam
I'm disabled so when I have days like that I just go to bed I have too many days like that I stopped fighting them a long time ago I think that's why I survived I'm 65 keep your health it's a whole different world without just a cloud going by torches you getting old sucks big-time God bless and good health❤
God Bless you! I hope today is different, that you have a blessed day. Always keep it close that as a Christian this is not our eternal home. The Bible says we have a home eternal in the Heavens, a house not made with hands. A place where there is no more pain, suffering or death and our tears will be wiped away.
Sam
God Bless you too. You did a good job on the road and are living out the word of God.
Thank you Ray! I'm thankful for the encouragement and appreciate you supporting the channel to help reach more folks with the message.
God Bless and Happy Easter...
Thank you for the message. It refreshed my thoughts
Hey Dave glad the message was a help to you! 😀
I've ran equipment my whole life, i was in a skiddy when i was 6 years old, working with my pops, and you did an awesome job on this road. I was thinking maybe a higher bank on that corner for trucks to come in, but when You walked it, i could tell that thing was banked perfect and just wide enough. Good job, man.
Thank you Gregory! I sure enjoy projects like this. Would have loved a couple more days to fine tune it and dress it up. Appreciate you supporting the channel...
Sam
Thank you for that message! To bad everyone doesn’t act that way. World would be a much better place if they did.
Yes Sir! You are exactly right. That situation turned out as good as it could. Great feller for sure...
Don't look at it as building a road on the wrong property, look at it as installing a passing lane. Lol.
That man is wise, he understands that people make mistakes. But, just like God gives us grace and mercy when we mess up, that man had compassion and understanding. I used to react wrongly when I was younger, but I'm getting better at it as I get older.
Nice video Sam and thanks for sharing.
I like that, "a passing lane". That is exactly right, and what you just said about grace and mercy will preach! Thanks....
Very fitting message about for your wrong doing on wrong ground and good man for keeping your mistake in the vid
🙏
Thank you! I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the video and especially the message...
Sam
Both roads look good and a great message, God Bless
Thank You Roland. I appreciate that and also for sending the comment to support the channel.
God Bless,
Sam
I don't even own land or am into excavating but somehow i found my way to this video and found it awesome, Thank you for including the message in the the outro pls do not stop.
This is a great comment to let me know the videos are interesting to folks who normally don't watch these kind of videos. So thanks for sharing that...
God Bless,
Sam
"I build them a road but they didnt want it"...man that cracked me up😂😂😂. I just burst out in laughter. Ohh that was hilarious. I can only imagine how silly you might have felt...walking to the neighbor telling hey man...i built you a new road... but it wasn't meant for you😂😂😂😂
But it is the neighbour's response that saved the day. Kudos to him👌🏼
That was an awkward moment when the neighbors pulled up on 4 wheelers but it all turned out good in the end…
Thanks,
Sam
Love the work you do. Most of your message at the end of each video. God's Blessings
Thank you Gloria. I'm glad you are enjoying the message and appreciate you supporting the channel...
God Bless,
Sam
Be encouraged brother! Your video showed great roadbuilding, and when I saw you holding His Scripture at the end, I knew you were a good man. Hope to meet some day and thank you for practical teaching from His Word.
Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement and for sharing that. God Bless and maybe we will meet up some day.
Sam
Man,this is the first video that I recall watching of your channel and as a Christian myself I was shocked how well the neighbor handled the honest mistake.thanks for sharing this video that they’re is still a few good people left. God Bless you sir!! Ha,I will be subscribing to your channel
Thank you Terry and welcome to the channel. He was a great guy and handled it better than I would have imagined! There are some good folks left in the world! 😀
God Bless,
Sam
Your first video that I’ve come across. Love the dig work. Love the message at the end. Powerful.
Thank you and welcome to the channel. I appreciate what you said...
God Bless,
Sam
I LIKE UR HONESTY AND THE SCREPTURS THAT U SAID, IT IS SO TURE.
Thank you Skip! I appreciate that and thanks for the comment and supporting the channel...
God Bless,
Sam
Amen! Great message brother.
God Bless you and your family. 🙏
Thank you, I appreciate that and God Bless you as well...
Sam
Greetings, I liked the Australian Shepherd dog, they are very intelligent, I had one and it died from the heat, but my father is an Australian Shepherd and he follows me everywhere, good video.👍
Sorry to hear that about your dog!
Ole Diesel is a great friend for sure. The Lord is my Shepherd as well.
God Bless and Happy Easter...
Shout out from Queensland, Australia from a retired farmer and engineer. Mate I’m no Christian so gave that last section a miss but really appreciate you posting your videos for us to watch. Mate, my experience in life is you only get out of folks what your prepared to put into them, admitting your error was probably all he had to hear, country folk see a lot of things in their lives, births and deaths of animals, near accidents working around machinery and such like so to say they are the salt of the earth is a truth of life and hence more forgiving by nature. Anyway, great road, love your commentary and explanations and the various scope of your work. Take care
Thank you! I definitely agree with what you said about country folks. Seems we are a bit more tolerant to things, understanding things like this happen. I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel. It’s cool to know folks in Australia watch the videos. UA-cam is a great way to see real life in other parts of the world.
Thanks,
Sam
I liked this so much I subscribed, can't wait for more, I am Thomas Grading services from South Carolina.
Thank you Thomas and welcome to the channel. I really appreciate the support for my little channel. Hope all is going well for your grading business!
God Bless and Happy Easter
So glad you told "the rest of the story".
UA-cam suggested this video in my feed. No coincidences, God is Good! Blessings for your honesty. I'll be back, I'm now a new Sub'❤
Thank you for that, and welcome to the channel. I'm glad you are here and thanks for supporting the channel...
I like the way you acted, my first video I saw from your channel and very impressed, God bless you brother!
Thank you John and welcome to the channel. I really appreciate you supporting the channel.
God Bless...
Something I pray for every day is for the Lord to help me be more patient , it applies to work, how I interact with people and how I go about daily life. Happy Easter to your family Sam. New subscriber from Ky.
Wow! You said the "P" word. 😁 Nothing like other folks trying our patience. But, it's something we can work on to get a little better at each day. Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel. I certainly appreciate the support.
God Bless and Happy Easter!
Man that road looks good!! I seen you get out and remove that little tree that fell over your dozer blade. I know the feeling. I get a lot of that mulching. A lot of times they try and pin me in the machine by falling in front of the door. Maybe if I keep hoping and praying I’ll have me a fancy dozer like you and ole smith worx! I sure do love a dozer. This was great video! Awesome message. Keep it up!!
Thank you! I saw a few of those limbs in your mulching video that was trying to get you. Especially that cedar that sent the CAT bucking and jumping. I thought ouch that was a rough one. I didn't use to wear my belt in the skid steer. But I ate the glass door pretty hard one day and every since then I wear it in there. Keep going after it and the dozer may be a reality.
@@tristardiggin yeah I hung that cedar just off the edge of the mulching head and when it slipped in it tossed me forward. I wear the belt on the hills now. Holds me in my seat better and kinda helps my back not hurt as bad. I’ve slammed my head into the roof a time or two. I get upset when my hat comes off too lol. The belt on the dozer is a pretty good call too. I’m gonna keep pushing for a good future. See what the good Lord has in store for me.
Wow am I glad that neighbor was understanding, I can only hope when I’m in a situation like that I get the same treatment. It’s not if, it’s when it happens lol
You said a mouthful then, "It is when not if". I was expecting the worst and it turned out way better than expected...
Good video and great message
Thank you Michael! And appreciate you supporting the channel.
God Bless,
Sam
That guy was nice 👍 onX hunt is a great way to see property lines in the future I use it all the time when I’m logging.
Your not to shabby on that dozer your customers are lucky to hire you
Thank you Mitchell I appreciate that. I use onX also, it is great. I misunderstood which post was the corner post. One of those things I didn't check because I thought I knew.🙄 Won't do that again...😁
Watched and you are a very good operator and obviously been in a machine more than once well done
Thank you Mike! I really appreciate that. And thanks for supporting the channel. Means a lot for folks like you to watch and especially comment.
Sam
I had no idea there was gonna be a bible lesson at the end of this video and I really had no idea that it was gonna be exactly what I needed to hear at that very moment. Wow, God is amazing. Speaking directly to me thru a random video on the internet.
Thank you for sharing that. That is exactly the purpose of the videos, to provide some entertainment and at the end, suprise, there is a message. I'm appreciate you supporting the channel so we can share the message with more folks like you who needed that message at that time. God is good and that is definitely how He works...
God Bless,
Sam
Great looking road, TriStar, sounds like you handle it well too!!!!!!
Thanks Rob I appreciate that. Very thankful the neighbor was understanding.
Sam
Great message and very true
Thanks Christopher, I appreciate that…
Gosh Bless
Very nice dozer work. Envious and want to learn the dozer some day. Good message👍🏻 controlling anger is one of man’s greatest feats for sure.
Thank you! I certainly enjoy dozer work. Especially cutting a road through the woods. The best way to learn is crank that thing and go. 😁
Glad you enjoyed the message and you are right about controlling anger. That is a tough thing to do...
God Bless and Happy Easter...
I've been watching Chris on his UA-cam channel Letsdig 18 for several years. After watching a few of your shows. I think I found my other channel to watch.
Thank you Duane. Wow, that is a huge compliment! Chris is one of the big dogs on UA-cam. I appreciate you supporting the channel...
Thanks,
Sam
Just came across your video as I'm getting ready for church, I appreciate your video and you have a new subscriber you blessed me this morning with some things I needed to hear. Happy Easter he is risen!
Well, God bless you and I appreciate those words this morning. Welcome to the channel and thanks for your support. It's exciting to hear how God is using this little channel to be a blessing to folks...
Happy Easter...
The important thing is to admit mistakes and try our best to make them right. Some folks would really be upset over what happened, but the fact you told the owner you messed up probably set the tone for the interactions you had with him. Most people are very reasonable and understanding. No way would I be mad at all and as long as it is fixed up right, it would be a distant memory that never made any difference to me or anyone else for that matter. Good job!
Right and well said! Most situations become, as you said, a distant memory with little to no meaning.
Thanks,
Sam
Good job.glad the neighbors are understanding.
Right, I'm glad he was understanding as well.
Thanks,
Sam
You do nice work,good job! And yep,we make mistakes,we're only human! Nice of the neighbors to say" it happens"!
Thank you David. Very gracious reaction to my mess up! Thankful for folks like that and it inspires me to be more like that.
God Bless,
Sam
