If you watch to the end you get a full price breakdown for total cost of the driveway. Rental equipment, rock, etc. It's a lot cheaper than the $10k in rock I spent on the Bin's driveway.
Trying to get into a more normal cadence of build videos! Aiming for one a week!
@devonloerop Take your time, Devon! We can wait until you upload whether it's weekly or whenever!
Enjoying the process! Keep up the good work!
🙌💯💯 great use of the excavator, and the island idea looks awesome.
Thanks so much, it definitely makes the home feel very cozy.
I also live in the PNW and I can tell you that you need to spend the money and get the drive done right. Our winter rain will make that drive a big muddy mess. As a guest you do not want them to get stuck or mess up their cars. You also need to widen the drive because it’s just right fit our thorny blackberry bushes to take over and scratch the guests’ cars. In all else, you just amaze me!
You should take that boulder and put it at the end of the driveway and get a stonecutter to cut into it the name of the place, add a little light shining on it and boom.
Love your content Good luck with the build!
Thanks a ton! I have a feeling this build is going to go quicker than I initially thought!
An option to reduce the amount of 3/4” minus you have to put down is to roll filter cloth out underneath. It will prevent the rock from punching into the mud below when it rains. And should only cost about 4-5 hundred bucks for the whole drive way
It should of had ballast put down first
@@Yettiattack agreed, but he’s trying to save money. If you’re going to not place ballast at least the filter cloth will help keep the thin layer of 3/4 from punching right into the dirt when it rains and gets driven on.
@@caincoulson2968 it wont. In your head it works. But all the psi an sharp edges rips right through the cloth.
Watching you remove the stumps was insanely satisfying. Can’t wait to see the concrete pad
What's even more satisfying is when I reversed the clips of me pulling stumps and it looked like I was putting the forest back together.
Low key jealous that you get to play around with an excavator in a rain forest 😆
Come on out! You can come play in the forest with me lol
@@devonloerop gonna have to take you up on that sometime!
Might want to try a landscape/driveway fabric under the rock if you have not already so you do not lose the rock over time. The rock will press down into the mud.
I have never been to the Northwest, but my god it is GORGEOUS! Great job so far with the land. It's gonna look great!
Thanks so much! I can't wait to have the little home framed out. :)
It would be cool to use that boulder in the design somehow… maybe build it into the deck as a seat or small table?
Great content, so satisfying to watch. Just a thought but maybe you could include ‘the rock’ in your landscaping.
Hey Devon I am a high school student that’s not sure what engineering type to go into I saw in your bio that you were an engineer I was wondering what kind you where? It seems like you were pretty successful 😂
Very nice video Stranger.
Great job De 👍👍👍
How do you find those pieces of land that are indeed to become residential? Or how do you make them residential? Thx in advance
That was a fun watch, where did you learn how to drive an excavator? I would love to just rent one and enjoy clearing my own lot, what a machine and what a driver!
Great job, loving the content! Honest question - can't you just get a gravel truck to deliver and spread as it pulls out? That's how our gravel drive was done in North Carolina - much quicker than the gravel truck just dumping a load and you having to level and spread yourself. For reference: ua-cam.com/video/NJarN_AAslQ/v-deo.html. Hope this helps!
I saw your comment before I got to that part of the video. I think he probably would have if he wanted to rock the whole driveway but he chose the two tire tracks method to save money and I dont think a truck dump and pull out would do that. But I guess for the turn around area it would have helped/save time and effort.
Love your vids bro would definitely like to check it out. Is this in Washington state, feels like it🤙🏽
awesome work. why hallow and not hollow? not sure i get what's meant by hallow in this conext.
Awesome Devon! Im up here in Alaska, and Ive owned 5 acres near a small tourist town for 7 years. Your ideas are getting my brain going. Thanks for the motivation!
That rock your putting down will just sink in ....need a base but I get it
It's been holding up great! I'll come in with a few more loads as the soft spots start to show up. Eventually it'll get firm!
If you wanted to get rid of that big boulder just dig a hole in front of it and tip it in.
Your prices are crazy cheap compared to here in PA pretty much double what you paid. Doing the same for my new property.
How much do you project the total cosy of the cedar hallow will be?
working on making a video for it
Keyboard contractors 😂
They are very real. Haven't touched a shovel in their entire lives but somehow know how to build skyscrapers 😂
@@devonloerop I know the type haha. Love ya videos btw 🙏
@@devonloeropowned several shovels, registered gc. I dont know how to build a skyscraper though.
Good job though
Thanks!
Did you cut the trees down yourself or hire somone?
what is the total size of your property?
You can pick that rock up easy. Unless it grows much more we cant see underground.
*skid steer not a bobcat. Bobcat is a brand. That would be like calling every truck a Chevy. I’m glad you decided to use the trailer. It was painful watching you spread stone with a excavator bucket lol
hahaha yeah... fortunately I could go full Farm Simulator with my trailer and excavator to get it over the pile to speed things up.
A skidsteer has tires. A ctl has tracks.
Halfajob from the warrior...😂
I don't know what this is supposed to mean
Imagine that boulder turned out to be a fossil or an asteroid 😅😅.
Should I try and break it open?
audio goes out at 13:00 otherwise great video
I don't think so! It might be on ur end
It does go out on the right channel.
You could smash the boulder in two with a pneumatic hammer and a big nail
