Al never lets working smarter get in the way of working harder!
Those compactors aren't made for compacting rip-rap. It works against itself on the big rock. Tracking it in with the excavator is good enough unless you have a big crowfoot roller machine. Live and learn but entertaining for some of us.
Yes, at 8:27 you could hear the change of sound from the plate compactor... from a smooth growl to a jagged sound.
A weighted stud roller for the TYM also works
Good stuff
@@samvalentine3206 That was just it going through sloppy mud then it went on the big azz rocks i think.
I think rolling your excavator tracks back and forth across the large rock would pack it better than that tiny plate compactor. compactor definitely works better on finer materials.
Quality control really ? Al that little compactor was not made for that big rock! Thanks for the chuckles...
Al Buddy, When you gravel a driveway, Start at the street and tailgate it off as you go in. Do not start at the end, you just make a mess and get your trucks stuck in the mud. Also some three inch between the 5-7's and the road mix would have been a better idea. But still you got it in. Good job.
His driveway is nearly a mile long! I don’t think he’s planning on doing it anytime soon.
now, shouldn't the drivers of the rock know that?!
@@KittyLovesGlover both of them should know...lol
@@KittyLovesGlover.... The driver is going to do what he is told to do . It's a good idea to tell the driver what you want to end up with and "ASK" how he would go about it. Those drivers can tailgate (spread) the gravel going backwards.
@@cathiwim The mini drive way from main 'road' to tiny house site.
keep an eye on all bolts on all of that equipment. even the excavator lost a nut. look over all of your machines before you use them. Grease them before or after each use.
Right - just like pilots when they walk around their aircraft before flying, checking everything themselves to make sure it all hangs together.
You might need mobile power washer to clean the mud from your excavator tracks before the cold arrives with the added benefit of keeping all your larger equipment clean. Just a thought.
Periodic maintenance.....saves mega bucks in the long run 💸💸💸
@@suzilouden5964 you must be reading my mind or we just think alike. I notice things and I also have been taught when I was very young to never start a engine without checking the oil and if its liquid cooled check the fluid level. I noticed often this is not being done, at least on the video.
@@americasdream1265 Not all is shown in videos !!
Al, reckon the compactor broke while on the five minus? That small machine is kinda small for large rocks. Great morning wake up. God Bless!
Money never seems to be an object, I wonder how many of us have that luxury?
not alot i would think, but hay "AL" got it! lol
@Robin Amen. Al works hard and give us much entertainment and ideas. I love this vlog. I only wish we had this information 50 years ago.
@Zartelle Rose I envy these people who can made money on showing us how to do things, so refreshing to see the animals, so peaceful to look out across the fields. I live in a home with only a lot and a new 6' fence to keep out illegals.
I could go endlessly about how to never buy equipment from Harbor Freight, then to never misuse it by trying to compact 5" rock and then blame quality control when it breaks, but let's focus on the level of construction you are, and will be doing. It is HEAVY DUTY and it is on UNIMPROVED land. You can either consult a knowledgeable, experienced person beforehand, or you can continue to struggle through it, learning expensive things over and over again, which all cost more $$$. The minute you know you're going to need trucks, concrete, materials, etc.... the road is the FIRST thing you put in, not the building pad. Then, you put it in from the main road to the pad, not the pad to the main road. You should grade the road FIRST to even it up and get it down to solid ground, then cover it with geotech fabric so your rock doesn't keep pushing into the mud when it gets wet, and the mud come up through it. Then put down the base rock and grade it, then put down the finer rock, THEN compact it with a proper compactor. Any compactor that can be operated by hand and walking around with it is WAY undersized and totally inadequate. That road is going to be a soft mess during wet seasons that you will have to keep fixing. At this point, don't compound your problems any further, re-think your plans and consult with somebody who has a lot of experience at it, and adjust your plans to make sure you execute them correctly, in the correct order, and only have to do it ONCE, and it's done right the first time. Save yourself a lot of future pain, disappointment, and failures while you still can. You won't regret it. Hate to be so brutally honest, but this is a huge undertaking you're just starting, and it will take it's toll on you if things keep going sideways. And you can count on the fact the weather is NOT going to be your friend, especially when you need it the most.
Thanks for posting this. I was thinking that he is going to loose all that rock into the mud too. I live on a gravel road and our neighbors have a long gravel driveway and every Spring they both have to have more gravel added because the gravel sinks and the heave of winter breaks up the road. I've heard it is much better to put down that fabric to keep it all from sinking. I hope Al reads your comment.
Al, this is excellent advice. Take heed or you'll be spending more money than you need to. Equipment maintenance is a must or those investments will be compromised.
Couldn't agree more.
Python 357...i worked in construction 40 years and if this guy Al has any gray matter he will listen to what your telling him...as every word is SPOT ON ..he clearly has no idea of earth physics. He's not bad at some things but he is light on other things...I really hope he heeds your good advice as I hate to see anyone waste time and money because of ego...he should hire someone with experience at least for guidance...yes the fabric works well when put down correctly...i had to see it to believe it myself...👷
An elevation survey and proper grading would have helped.
The compactor didn’t like those big stones
Nor being completely submerged in mud last week.
Yeah, still shouldn't have happened, though. And if Al repairs it himself he invalidates the warranty, right?
Pretty sure the biggest thing that that compactor didn’t like was the fact it was manufactured by Harbor freight!!
It's not made for those big rocks.
The next time you order gravel, ask for a driver that knows how to use the chains on the dump gate. Most drivers do and can save you a ton of work. I have a drive that is a half mile long and the drivers spread mine so we'll that I did not need to do any work on it at all.
Same here....I never have to spread it !
The problem is instead of starting at the beginning and working your way in he did the opposite so the truck had no traction. Maybe this driver could feather it in but just listened to the customer.
Yes with all the equipment he has he probably just told him to dump it so he could play.
@@Anthony_Harper Gotta make a vid.
Tail gated
You kept saying quality control issue/problem. Unfortunately, the fault lies with the operator. Right in the operation manual it states, "IMPORTANT: CHECK HARDWARE TIGHTNESS BEFORE EVERY USE". "The strong vibrations created during use will cause some hardware to loosen". So, your equipment has broken due to your own lack of proper preventative maintenance. Haste makes waste!
Good morning my amazing friends, have a very blessed day
Howdy Jason! Always good to see you here! Good work with the spray on the squash leaves to combat the mildew over on your channel!
Good work today!! Now you know whats needed for a relieable road!! Stay blessed!!

AL YOU DON'T HAVE TO BLAME YOURSELF FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED JUST BE THANKFUL YOU GOT THAT MUCH DON'T YOU ARE ONLY HUMAN I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO DO A WONDERFUL JOB SO JUST KEEP SMILING AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS
Would love a video of a rough sketch of what your plans are for the off grid site (short and long term). You mentioned that it might be boring but I would love to see the plan and how things change (like in this video) as problems arise.
I love to see your work. You are a real go to guy. Love the positive attitude. Nothing seems to phase you. Great job of getting an entire road in in just one day.
Thanks also for the overview. I finally understand the layout much better. Love your videos!
You might consider a Walk-Behind Roller Compactor. You can rent them. We've used them on several of our large construction projects and they work great. Glad to see that you are getting some seat time in your excavator. I can see a huge improvement in your operator skills.
Compacting over mud is never a good idea
I was just going to say that his skills have improved.
@@colinstace1758 Sometimes a guy just doesn't have optimal conditions and has to make the best with elements nature throws at him. Glad that he brought in the heavy rock though.
@@jdelbrid that vibrating plate just brings more water up to the surface

Saturdays videos are watched a little later than normal.. I try and get a little extra sleep on Saturday because the week has drained me. But the first thing done is shower, coffee, Lumnah's video, then we get rolling on our projects.. today's project here is new wide pine flooring going down in our master bedroom.
Hope everything goes smoothly on your new flooring!
@@samvalentine3206 Thanks Sam, I like that old antique wide pine flooring look. It's takes a little longer to install but it's worth the look and thats really what the Mrs. wants turth be told.. hehe Have a great day Sam. I hope Herni didn't flood you out?
Why was the container cabin necessary? I have been wondering about what function it plays in the overall plan?
just something to stay bezy i would think lol
In the long run? None that I can see. Seems like they should have started with the tiny house and skipped the "container camp". The container took more time to "flesh out" than it would have taken to stick build something the same size.
Secure storage for the mule and some tools.
They did the container cabin so they make more videos to sell to CZcams, just think how long it took them to built that All us viewers are paying the bill on the new tiny house.

Good morning Ray
Prayers that you guys don't get hit by hurricane Henri.
Hi I watchu guy's every morning when I am having my breakfast an you know what watching you makes my day it gives my a push to do my chores
We have been watching your channel for a while now and I just have to tell you we really enjoy it! I appreciate your explanations as you go, and your optimism. Thank you for making this channel and allowing us to follow along!
Two things: always check equipment before you start the days work. Do your oiling and greasing every day top off fuel and oil and lubes and liquid items like windshield washer fluid. At the end of the day check equipment again and repeat morning maintenance before going home. Secondly use the right tools or equipment for the job at hand. As an aside a hurricane is coming your way and will hit sometimes early Sunday morning and be in NH by Sunday night so yes you ate gonna get lots of rain
Fantastic job looking really good. Nice it's what you need . Very big job you have in front of you and I can't wait to watch your adventure. God bless from Australia. Xxx
Well, that's one job done. Like you said, it would have to be done anyway... I hope the rain slows down for you.
The grass looks so nice! It's almost a shame you have to put a driveway in. ☺🙂
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Good morning from Sweden! Good thinking putting in the driveway now it will make upcoming construction run much smoother. Then why not use coming waiting times to build the rest of your driveways, then you will not be in a hurry when they are needed.
Keep up the good work!
Would it not be faster to spread all the stone with the tractor and blade or bucket loader?
ROFL
Those rocks are big guys; not sure it would hold up.
Dump truck.....faster
Good day Al & Gina. It SUCKS to have to buy and truck in loads of rocks, but it is needed to build a good road base, it's needed to get all the trucks and equipment that will be coming there !!!
Yeah. I think Al was hoping it would stay dry enough that he didn't need to build the road yet. I suppose he doesn;t really know where his eventual well will go so he wanted to put off building the road as long as possible so he doesn't have to dig it up in the future. Best laid plans...
Great job with the driveway. 😀
An alternative for vibratory compaction is compression compaction. Breakdowns happen. What I found works well is loading the bucket up on my tractor and then using the front tires to press the ground. It doesnt give you the slick finish that the plate compactor does but it does lock the stone together pretty good just as long as you dont make corners while you're pressing.
Tire wear and damage concern?
@@ac-twig considering the strain front tires on tractors take as a general rule of thumb it's negligible. I've done it off and on for years. Any tire damage I've had was because of messy carpenters losing nails.
Working in this manner you can get truckload after truckload of gravel and you will scratch your head wondering where it all went. Invest in some geotextile cloth and scrape some of that topsoil away before laying the cloth out then put the rock and gravel down.
If you want a 4 season rd/driveway to your house you can do it correctly now or fight it every year for the next 30years. You have to get down to reasonable base before building up your road top. The rock you are laying down is fine but in the northern “mud season “ it’s going to squish out and you will find yourself putting down more & more rock which is also fine but tiresome and expensive.
what a great road build and playing all day with big boy's toys win win
Al, JB Weld the part back on and Loctite the bolts. The dump truck was just pumping the water up thru the soil. The driveway being laid was necessary.
Good morning.
Goooooood Morning
Good morning Al and family. Hope your knee is ok. I am excited with the huge and rapid progress
Thanks. It’s feeling better
Great job....! You'll be an ace with the tractors by the time this is finished - Thanks for sharing.... And, stay safe....
I think road fabric under the stone will help it from inking into the soil... Sand....
That little compactor on that medium rock may have been too much for it.
Good morning Al, I just thought it would had been quicker and smarter for all if you would had start dumping your base stone from the road to the site. Less pasture ruts and necessary grading for all. Just a thought. Looking good.
That's too logical for Al 🤣🤣
My thought were the same as he was doing this. Especially after he got stuck the first time.
I never want to be harsh on a layman but even those truck drivers who had probably laid more stone on construction sites than Al should had suggested to drag drop the stone to the site in reverse. That would had accomplished several things. Kept footprint small while spreading stone. Keeping heavy truck on rocks and easy exit out. And the heavy trucks that followed with their loads would compact the previous drops saving Al time and gas with less area to plate compact. :)
He said at the end of the video that they were only trying to lay base near the tiny house area, but realized he would have to do the whole thing after the truck got stuck the first time that is why they did it they way they did. It got done so who cares if "it was done the correct way", some days you just have to do what you have to do to get it done.
@@dakotawinds9291 Dakota you are so right on this one. I know I did not catch this until the end of the video and that is why I am embarrassed by my post because I responded before I listened to the end.

When I used to drive truck I'd chain the tailgate and lay road rock down like a carpet, whatever the thickness needed to be. A lot less need for machine work.
I know you have always been so respectful and caring about your amount of rain and other states that need it so desperately. I so wish that we could have even half of your rainfall here in Northern California. It is so devastating and scary right now and all I can do is continue praying. One of the fires is so close to my brother.
It helps to get lost in you, Gina and Olivia’s plans and dreams. Thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤️
Should have put some fabric down before all that rock.
I have 'done' 15 houses, 4 of which were from conception to build-out (my own designs) and I have to say, I get such a thrill watching you dump those loads of gravel and rock..shivers I tell you ;-) Keep on truckin' ;-)
Al, you need to learn to practice turning using you bucket, it will also safe your tracks from wearing down too soon.
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
i hope your family stays safe from hurricane henri, i really hope nothing gets washed out on the 500
They’re calling for us to get the effects tomorrow. They have added more men on from Nimo. Saying possible outages. I hope we don’t. We live at the foothills of the Adirondacks. Stay safe everyone.
You should always keep tools with you when you are using heavy equipment just for breakdowns it's not for if it happens but when it happens because it will the one thing you can count on its just a fact always try to be prepared
You guys are so gracious in everything you do. You keep working hard you are a great family love watching your family.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always looking here to see what your doing... For doing things yourself you are prepared !
Except Al should have road tools in his truck already. Each vehicle should have it's own basic tool set - ratchets, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, hammer, etc. in a canvas bag stashed under a seat. Never know when one will need a wrench or pliers to do something on one's vehicle.
You don't put rock on top of soil 🙄
You're supposed to remove the topsoil down to subsoil level and them put down your base.

Rain, rain, go away, please come back another day. Looks like you're in the bullseye for Tropical Storm Henri. Hope it ain't so, but plan accordingly. Praying you don't have to batten down the hatches.
This reminds me of when the girls (including baby Hope 🥰) were in the boy’s goat barn. The thaw/mud season made it hard for them to get out to their hay feeder. Al went to a nursery for bags of white gravel (all they had) to make a path for the goats to get to the feeder without sinking
It is ironic that you have such rocky land and you have to bring even more rock in. Morning Lumnah's and viewers what an adventure this is turning out to be.
What do you think New Englanders do with all the rocks they pull out of their land? They sell it to other New Englanders to make driveways. 😂

Howdy Lloyd-Man! Wishing you a fabulous weekend as well!
Al - It would be nice if you shared some of the permit and inspection processes with us. As we all know, homesteaders can’t just build like they use to in days gone by. Enjoy the channel. God bless.
You're telling me! I called the Building Department on Friday to ask how much the permits are for a shipping container: $850!!!! But they did tell me if they were 120 square feet or less, they don't need a permit. If I get a 45 foot container and cut it in three pieces, they are all 120 square feet. Nice loophole.
I guess from now on as you clear property, you could save all that sized stone in one pile off to the side as a store house for stones. Never know when the need will come up again. Sorry your compactor broke so soon. Hope they find you a new one PRONTO. Have a Blessed day.
Man, that Bobcat shure comes in handy!
Al: "Northern New Hampshire is like farming rocks." Also Al buys a truck load of rocks..... I love this channel!
They got all those rocks from the farm ~8^)
Nature puts them where she wants to, not where they are needed !!!!!
Big difference between rounded rock and pit rock in road building.
I can’t believe you had to ADD rocks to your property.
Wow you have so got the handling of all the equipment down to a fine art so having all that additional rock has also given you all the extra practice. As you said you need it for your driveway anyhow and with all the rain accidents and slips can happen and that could be worse for the long term ans build project. So invest now for the future. just a disabled lady watching and loving this adventure so I can appreciate the thinking outside of the box and preventing problems before they may happen. X
Take care of yourself...
We are dealing with the same thing. Good job!
I get excited for you guys every time I see your progress 😊
Good Morning Lumnah family, hope all is well with everyone. I hope your out of the cone of rain expected from tropical storm Henri, will be praying for everyone in the Northeast.
Thanks. Not sure if henri will effect us or not. Time will tell
@@LumnahAcres From what I have been seeing on the forecasts it looks like it Henri is expected to strengthen to a hurricane and head up your way, but then move quickly to the East out to Sea. You will probably get some high winds and lots of rain as it quickly weakens back to a tropical storm and then to a depression and then a Low.
As of Right Now 1:23 PM Saturday August 21, 2021 Tropical Storm Henri looks like it is going to Strengthen to a CAT 1 Hurricane and then make landfall somewhere on Long Island NY sometime on Sunday August 22, 2021 or Early Monday August 23, 2021.
Where I live in Eastern, PA the forecast is for us to get about 1 1/2 to 2" of rain, some areas may see a little more or a little less.
Hope you are prepared for all the rain and wind that is expected. I know the one year we were expecting high winds and heavy rains from remnants from a hurricane, but received very little rain and just got light winds. Go figure. lol
