    There is no wonder why you have so many repeat customers. Even if they are good friends, if the quality isn't there neither is the repeat business. Love watching you work, Chris. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Chris, It must be super nice to have an Uncle like John. When he needs expert help he calls you and the job gets done. When you ask for help , he's always there with a solution. That's family for ya.

    Man that looks nice, one thing I have noticed is that your material haulers have some pretty nice trucks to haul with, but I guess that would stand to reason seeing who they are hauling for, quality equipment in the right Hands equal quality finished product, thanks for the tag along video sir.

      I would bet these new track loaders with electric over hydraulic controls and advanced mechanical engineering are a dream to run compared to the older skid steers. At ,east that is what I tell myself when I struggle to grade with my old 1840 case with "character" controls

    Chris, Without prying too much, your own business has flourished the last 2 years. Would you be able to give us some insite between you and Uncle John in 2023? We know it all originated with Uncle John years, years ago, and quality work has been a mainstay of both and I don't want to cause a riff but the videos have become more seamless between Uncle John and Chris' work.
    PS find some more welding for Allen I miss his conversations. Heck of a nice guy.
