    When I think of how wet that place was when you started, I cannot imagine what it would look like now if not for you and your magic dirt abilities. My God, what a gorgeous piece of land it is. As usual, your transformations are artwork. It may have been 'just' burning and dozing, but watching you improve step by step is inspiring. And downright fun. Thanks, Chris, for bringing us along for the ride.

    Surprized how well the brush and ground had dried out so soon after the hurricane. Brush pile burnt down great too. Good to see water in the drain where it should be running.

    I’m glad you got rid of a lot of that brush so you can clean up those roads. As you said, it looks so nice when you tidy it up…it should also keep those roads less wet without all those pockets to catch and hold water

    Hi Chris ... my two favorite You Tube channels are yours and Cutting Edge Engineering ... then Matt's Off Roads Recovery and Dirt Perfect. Your work is always so neat - I marveled at the precision of the trench you dug for your power cable .... and that you never push debris into the edge of the bush ...
    Was wondering if you would give us an update on your equipment ... like ... where is the Hyundai excavator - did it sell? Where is the 977 track loader. What piece if equipment would you really like to own but don't .... grader? What equipment in on the agenda for upgrade/replacement. Update on your Uncle ... he seems to be the guy who gave you a dam good start to where you are now ... see him delivering gravel sometimes.

      Disposing of brush depends on what the customer wants. He has pushed some piles into the woods when the customer wanted a backstop for a shooting range. Some places allow burning and some places require haul out.

    2 feet of rain, Now that's impressive. We go into flooding with 2 or 5 inches! We have mountains so all that rain runs down hill! Rivers and streams go over the banks! Washing out roads and homes towns!

      In S. Florida, that can fall in one day at times. Two days later, you'd never know it in most cases. But we could use some of that rain here in SE Ohio. I went out to the farm today and there was only a little water running thru a culvert pipe where normally we have water in the two box culvert sections of the same crossing.

    All the rain before the storm, during the storm then again after the storm. There's still standing water in our yard. It's hard to get it to drain. You folks up there had the tornadoes as well. At least it cooled down for a week or so. The hot weather is coming back though. More skeeters coming with it.
