What I really enjoy about your style is the ability to not come back to an area, finish it out and move on. I've spent so much time creating more work for myself🤦♂at times going back and forth. I appreciate that you take the time and explain different materials and their purpose. I've learned a lot from you and improved my game. Thank you and Happy New Year Jeramy.
@brianc1240 Thank you very much for the kind words. It makes me happy that people are enjoying my videos. Happy New Year to you, and have a wonderful weekend 😀
Another impressive job that turned out fantastic. Always a pleasure to watch someone do a task that may look straightforward but is not and do it so well. Cheers and thank you for the great video and narrative as you work.
If people think this is the highest water ever, they should have seen it in 1997. I wasn’t around in the 64 flood so can’t talk about that one. The gravel job is beautiful just as always, nice job. 👍🏻
Yes, 97 and 2005 were both way worse than this. I wasn't around for the 64 flood either. My mom lived on Rogue River hyw when she was a kid, and their house flooded in 64. Have a happy new year 😁
I’m pretty new to Oregon, only been traveling up last several years and was up last week came back to California Last Thursday and I had never seen the Rogue or the Umpqua that high! It was pretty amazing!
@slamsshenanigans2296 Yes, things were ripping. They have gone down quite a bit, but it's supposed to start raining again. We will see what happens. Have a happy new year 🙂
Because of the low roof it would require a lot of hand work but that carport would benefit from a 24 ' wide drain with a steel grate over it. instead of 1 or 2 smaller drains. It could be gravity fed into that lower field next to it. You look like the kind of guy that could do that work with an assistant to do the hand shovel operation. A few concrete forms and some rebar needed. I like the way you peel back sod with the grading blade. I need to get on that this summer too.
@brotherbruce yes the drainage on the whole building sucks. The guy that built the original building should have built the pad up instead of putting it in a hole. Thank you for watching, and have a happy new year 😁
@Kubota4701 Yes. Especially when the low spots have buildings in them. I don't know why building contractors don't think more about drainage. It does cost more to build a pad up, but in places like this, it would have eliminated so many problems. Thank you for watching, and have a wonderful day
If you ever.decide to clone your hands would you please put me down for one set? As I try to get my fledgling excavator business up and running I have been stealing some of your techniques. I do not have a skid steer yet and people tell me I can't be successful in the world of excavating without one. You sure are proving them wrong and I figure renting one for the occasional use is cheaper than paying for and maintaining one. One question from today's video if you don't mind. Why did you not use geotextile underlayment with this job? Price, customer budget, not the proper place for it? Just curious and thank you for yet another inspiring video.
@rtundlt1 I do have a wheeled skidsteer and very seldom use it. I hate operating it, and I do a better job grading with the excavator. As far as the geotex, other than the spot I expanded, the rest had a good base under it. I do use it occasionally, but for the most part, I am not a fan. It definitely doesn't work well on slopes, and there are other reasons I don't care for it. I have had some spots. I felt it helped, but for the most part, I feel it's a waste of money. Thank you very much for watching, and have a happy new year 😁
Jeremy it looks beautiful when you’re done but you never compact? Even your foot prints show, the owner could ruin that job with several fast turns or wife speed exits. Do they all refuse the service?
@slamsshenanigans2296 From run on it, it is very firm the very top is loose from the final back dragging. I have never had a problem with this gravel not being compacted in. As wet as the gravel was, it is set up hard this morning. With gravel being as expensive as it is, most people don't want to pay for it.
We're very pleased with the work and the kind words Jeramy. Happy to have good neighbors and quality tradesmen close by.
@pundamilia1191 Thank you very much ❤️ it was a fun job, and have a happy new year 😁
Jeremy: Heads up, I think I saw Sasquatch on that property. Best to you and Family. Happy New year from Nor Cal.
@herdogcyn156 yep, he's a sneaky one. Thank you, and happy new year to you also 🙂
I'm always amazed at how flat and smooth you get that rock. Nice Job Jeremy.
@@RichBenson-jx8pt Thank you very much ❤️ Have a happy new year 😁
Wow! You really get that gravel spread smoothly with just the Kubota excavator bucket and blade. Very impressive job.
@ChuckKalish Thank you very much. Thanks for watching, and have a wonderful day 😀

@todd4654 Thank you again. Hope your day is good.
You did an outstanding job on the gravel. It looks awesome! Thank you again for telling us the rock size and why.
Thank you very much ❤️ and thank you for watching as always. Have a happy new year 😁
awesome vid!!! that helps a lot! only thing my blade is stationary 😭
@DCSuperShine a stationary blade is very hard to grade with. Thank you for watching, and have a happy new year 😁
Looks awesome! Happy new years! 🎉
@@francistringali2611 Thank you very much ❤️ and happy new year to you also 🙂

@@OTGAuGres thank you very much ❤️ Have a happy new year 😁
You are starting to look like Florida with all that water 😅
@earlmoorman250 it's a little more like a normal Oregon winter. Have a wonderful day 😀
Managing water drainage on a flat property must be a challenge
