We took over the road district and are making things happen! We brought in some heavy equipment including a Caterpillar 140 grader, and a Dynapac smooth drum roller. Unfortunately my @GoPro camera continues to be an absolute pile of garbage and a lot of the footage was ruined. So after this I'm done with it and going back to my trusty and faithful @DJI camera.,
I never in a million years thought I'd find a road rolling video fascinating... It must be the Casey magic 😉👍
I just got home from a busy day of grading and I can't wait to get back to work tomorrow after seeing you guys.... something is wrong with me lol
The homeowners that live on those roads are truly blessed having you two do the job right 👍
I don't know how this showed up on my feed, but I love it. I'm a retired teacher who admires people who do real work.
Educating children, if it's done with love IS real work.
When I served in the army in Malaysia in 70s, we were informed that there's many of old roads on the west coast where we were on operation, the roads had negative camber in which if wet our truck's might slide off the road at speed, the reasons for this building was by the POW prisoners by the Japanese in the war used thousands of Australian and British and Indian plus many other nationality in slave labour building the roads. So the engineer's involved made sure that the camber was so for the Japanese truck's to fall over, ☺.
OUT-FING-STANDING for Keen!!!! Great company... Love the videos by the way. Also learned that GoPro sucks and to stay away from them... Keep up the good work.....
That's really cool of Keen to reach out and offer support without asking for anything in return. Cool video as usual. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Finally someone does more than sit around and wait to get rich, Great job , well done and good thing that your community have you around.
Makes road work easy when you have a blade man that good. Your roller work wasn't shabby, either.
Outstanding job stepping up! I am sure that the families that live on those roads really appreciate it.
We all need to pitch in and do the same things and help out in our communities.
A little late to seeing this video, and the other where you and Grumpy regraded your road. I watch a lot of your videos and always appreciate the way you explain things as you are doing it.
That is so awesome that Grumpy got a new pair of shoes!
I do search and rescue in Arizona. I've owned just about every high end boot and Keens are my current favorite. They are tough and their tread holds up well to the rough desert environment.
Keen is a pretty environmentally conscious company, too. I'm an outdoor desert worker and hiker and Keens are for sure my go-to shoe and hiking boot. I love their toe room, their breathability and allover ruggedness over time.
Good road school! You all should take it on the road!
I love my Keen boots. Absolutely most comfortable boots I've tried.
Very nice work! Amazing what two very simple pieces of equipment can do when you have educated people operating them. Great team work....👍
That's awesome of Keen to do! Great footwear to be honest, bought a pair of boots around 8 years ago now and they're still pretty much in the same condition as the day I bought them..just broken in! Roads look amazing by the way! I'd be pleased to be on a concrete crew following that kind of work!
The only thing I would add is that you don't get good compaction without water. Although it adds to the cost, a water truck to moisten the aggregate really makes a hard surface which will repel rain.
Yep, we tried to get a water truck but couldn't
Vibration can draw up moisture from the ground but doesn't beat a water truck we've rented those water Buffalo trailers but I wouldn't recommend it for 12 miles
don't over compact, you don't want to change the water table.
Awesome! We need more people who care about each other and actually do things that help. Great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😀
Interesting video and good job Casey. The guy operating the grader did a great job considering he didn’t have a gauge to show the slope. Must have been using his Eyecrometer. (Paul from FabRats favourite tool). 😎
My machine has a slope meter but I don't use it because I've been running a grader for 25 years and it is just a go by feel thing
Such a well presented video , explaining how roads needs cared for,, great message, thanks
You two are a good pair of operators A very very good days work. Oh and a great community spirit.
The percentage slope of the crown of road changes from type of material and different parts of country. I've graded interstate in Az. at 1% and county roads [gravel] in Mt. at 3% . Usually pavement is at 1.5%. A typical crown section is easy , what gets hard is Supers [where both lanes lean 1 direction for cornering] and the transition in and out of a super. With gps and sonic systems you can actually set the machine to do this auto. also I like thinking of percentage in feet/ tens. So a 2% would be 2 tens at 10 ft. That is why most grade rods have tens instead of inches .
Interesting
This problem is worldwide. I see that you have a Swedish Dynapac vibrator.
They are the best. I delivered these all over Europe in the 80's.
I have to admit that living in the 5th largest city in the US, (Phoenix, AZ--greater than 1.4 million people with a land mass larger than Los Angeles ( 500 square miles)) makes two guys taking over the road department very quaint and small town. But also fun to watch -- way to go Casey & Grumpy!! ......sorry for the line through the middle of a lot of my verbiage; I have no clue why it did that, I didn't do it. Will get it fixed.
If you type a couple of "minus" signs CZcams will -strikethrough- anything in between them.
No joke, I love the keen shoes I wear everyday. I have had years of issues with regular work shoes/boots. I found Keen boots two years ago and I have been wearing them ever since, I know own 3 pairs to be honest cause they don't fall apart after a month of gas and oil being saturated. Great boots. Keep up the great work Cassie
I'm a truck driver. I enjoyed his comment about the hill grades, "or just blow through it and hope for the best". He is definitely right about the % grade signs to give truckers an idea of what speed and gear to be at. 6% grade running "heavy" = low gears at about 35 to 40 mph, no matter what the speed limit is. That's why you see 18 wheelers going down hill slowly with their hazards flashing. They're using the engine to keep the truck speed down so that they don't burn up the brakes and end up using a runaway ramp (the runaway ramp is the best case scenario, by the way).
Thank you Mr Truck Driver. I respect you all, give you plenty of space and always appreciate your skills and dedication.
@Toolbox Console. Thanks for keeping the goods on the road safely. I will sure pass on driving through the mountains. Kansas hills are steep enough for me. I grew up riding in a Binder through the hills of Arkansas. I don’t even want to chance the necessity of a run away ramp.
They maintain the grid roads exceptionally well where I live on a rural acreage in Canada, the grader operator actually just did my driveway earlier today while he was out doing the roads
How good this came about
Thanks KEEN!
Great job on the road and thanks for sharing everything regarding the building and maintenance of a good gravel road👍.
This was so fun to watch and so informative - thanks for putting this video together!
Outstanding, is all I can say, that you all stepped up and took care of your problem and your community! How many miles of road are you going to be servicing?
12 miles of gravel road and another 5 or so miles of pavement
We have property owners out here who allocate millions of dollars worth of equipment to maintain the roads to their own homes and at the exact moment our government is actively ignoring and failing/ actively attacking the self sufficient.
@@86thirdgen71 You can thank the Corporate lobbyists for taking up the time and money of our government and infrastructer. Additionally, the imbeciles in local government who expect and wait hand on foot for the Federal government to do something before the local municipalities do something, Beaurocracy at its finnest.
Cascade Heavy Rescue and road maintainer! Great job on the road by the two of you!
Keen is my favorite boot!
Great Job!
I live on a dirt road, and there are many in the county here, none of which are as well maintained as what you guys are doing.
Thank you for your feedback on gopro. You have me time and money.
Ya but there has to be another option, DJI is in China.
Casey, lighten up. you always look tense. We mostly all like what you teach us. Start a show that actually shows you how to build something. Crawlers are Cruel.
As Living on Dirt road's All my life 👍👍 it's best if as many as can that live's on the road have Drag's so u can drag in and out and help keep ur wash board's out !
Our property is on township borders. The road our driveway is on is a dead end, accessed from the township border road, in a section maintained by the neighboring township. Amazing how easy it is for them to overlook us, even when they know there is a family member with heart issues. "We are going to get some more gravel on there so the ambulance can get to you ..." well, they graveled everything west of our driveway (the dead end section) and the quarter mile stretch between the connecting (open) end and our driveway didn't get a single stone. Earlier, I'd taken our backhoe to the east end of our road and cleaned out the ditch just enough to get the water to drain into the border road ditch, two days later the maintainer graded and plugged my work up, causing water to pool again, and run over the adjoining road to the ditch on the other side. Water standing in the ditch at road level is just as bad as having it stand in the road ... I can't, for the life of me, understand why they are so reluctant to clean the ditches.
Casey a man of many titles :D nice job
Interesting and educational road work lesson. Thanks for sharing. Your hard work and independent thinking make things like this happen.
I hope to experience Oregon some day. It looks like a nice place to visit.
Just remember that Casey is on the SANE side of Oregon... You don't want to "experience" the other side...
Glad to see you promote an American made shoe.
Thats awesome that you are putting so much thought and care into the roads. Most roads are just thrown together.
It makes sense how you all got control of the roads. It's a good thing cause them roads look so much better that's the difference between somebody that knows what they're doing and somebody that don't good luck as always be safe 👍 💯
Casey seems to be the Jack of all trades. Is there anything you can't do when it comes to equipment?
No
Your neighbors should thank you!!!!!!!
Thanks for the educational video. As I tell my kids, Everything requires education to get the fundamentals to build your skills.
Awesome! Great explanation of the hows & whys of roading, and great to see your imput to the local area. Well done.🤓
I was on a pipe laying crew waiting on cut and fill some could put in some storm drains cut and fill was 2 weeks behind so it was either go home no pay or run the roller I was told diesel is cheaper than failing compaction so I rolled the lot with a 95 percent overlap on each run... big lot for a future trailer parking at an inland port... I spent 2 weeks rolling that lot, and the geo guy knew how much effort I put in, so he tested twice as many samples to try and call me out... We had 100 percent compaction everywhere, and it was a special compaction permit with stricter requirements we got a dinner and drinks for my effort then I ran a sweeper in the existing inland port scary job... got another dinner
Great Content and Video
Thanx for sharing
Have a Great Day 👍
so glad you are getting your roads fixed. Super interesting process. How rad Keen reached out to you. Always rad when a local company does that. Keep up the awesome videos Casey!
The difference between men and boys is the size of their toys. Ha ha ha. Casey take care and be safe out there.
I work with the guy running the blade. Brent is a good guy
Awesome!
P.S the Biggest problem with wash board road's is People with Heavy foot's , but washboard's happen's anyway but not as quick ! A nice Drag behind ur truck as u go in and out helps ALOT ! Drag it out to the main (paved) road leave it there till u come home and hookup and drag it back ! A few home owners have one and ur roads Will last a lot longer. Angle ur drag like a blade wood to Pull ur rock back up to the middle ! After a few drags uall will get use to it 👍👍
I like how you guys took over
Love keen shoes especially the waterproof hikers
Grader operator has done that before ☺️
We used 1 2 4% marked ordinary magnetic level on the blade. Simple and close enough.
On thin layers of rock, vibrating with such a big roller, you pulverise the material and it actually loosens up. You can also bring up water from underneath and make pudding.
Compactor shut down probably because it’s equipped with a no idle shut down timer. Great job on the road!
A man of many hats, you are.
Love Keen shoes and boots
Neighbors had to be super happy about this!
Love all the recovery, towing & old cars, but this is very informative! G'day from Sydney Australia!
Happy Summer, Manly is my history
You guys did a great job now your roads are gonna be a lot better
Man, that guy running the grader is hot stuff. 🔥
When I worked in the LL Bean flagship store, I had 16 pair of Keens. I only have four or five now. But I just ordered another pair of Pyrenees last week
You guys are doing one hell of a job very nice buy any standards. And keen makes one he'll of a shoe or boot that's the only one I get for work they don't hurt my feet like the others do...great job keen.
Good Job on the Roads, I bet the residents are loving or will Love the efforts you two did!!
DON'T Blame You ,So Would You Show The New Camera Your Now Using
& Tell Us All About It 😉👍👍👍 Happy for you about your roads.
Nice job thanks for sharing
Fun to watch. I used to maintain my road until the county paved it. Wish I had had access to this type of machinery.
Awesome that someone finally stepped up and now you guys are fixing the roads. Also awesome of the company to send you those cards for the boots!!! I don’t know what the problem is with GoPro. I have read a lot of reviews and complaints of people losing footage and having issues. You think they would fix this before coming out with newer models because their cameras aren’t cheap for people to be having so many issues.
Exactly! Quit trying to make a camera with as many features and settings as possible and just make one that works when I hit the record button
@@CaseyLaDelle
Are you using the right kind of SD card? There are ones especially for rapid write as in video. I imagine you know this but I just thought I'd mention it.
@@CaseyLaDelle Yes sir! All we want is a simple camera that you can turn on hit record and have a good quality video footage.
I've never lost footage or audio but I have had countless camera failures due to them overheating.
Grumpy was so happy to get some free shoes 😊👟 that was nice of the company to send you vouchers like that to give away some product and it was fun watching you take us along and show us how the machines work I actually really liked this video because it's not all about towing it's about everyday living life and the things that you do and for your community too bad they wouldn't pay you guys for taking care of what the county should take care of they sure get enough taxes out of us you think they could take care of the roads better keep up the great videos
I worked in road construction in the UK and works super intendents would have a phone book of guys names for any item of plant. I was in the office one day and the clerk was a young guy, a guy in his late 50s walking in and asked for the super as he'd come along for a plant operators job. The clerk ask what plant he'd driven and answered. Don't remember the numbers but they were yellow ones.
Enough said this guy could drive any CAT machine made and plenty of other makes as well. Like the scraper guy and the 2% grade who just by the look and feel they know!!!! Plus they can do it on a half worn out machine as well.
Well done to you both for stepping up to the plate, plus Grumpy who did his bit as well.
I love my Keen's they're the best
Keen, are the only footwear I have, they are really good boots and shoes, they last for years, and never fail me
I'm sure that grader has a bubble level or needle level in it. Our old 770A has a slope meter and it's ancient.
I use Keen shoes also and with a offer like that to you I know that I will continue to support(use) them so that they can continue to support people like you- That was awesome for them to do that!
I love Keen shoes. Great video very informative on how to build roads.
That was gratifying to watch for sure.
I like Keen.
I've been wearing Keen boots for years. Love them...
I always look forward to your videos coming out. Thanks again for another great one!
Glad to understand how it works in your area now. Now it makes sense. Wish it worked that way here. My road is horrible. It used to be a county road and due to a neighbor it is a private road now so it doesn't get maintained by anyone on it. I'm afraid ill be doing something to it soon. It is rough. Glad you guys got it figured out and can get your roads done.
That was very of them to do so. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Yes, let’s see a video on go pro vs DGI.
I do concur that Keen's are good shoes that hold up well. Ever since I bought my first pair I've been hooked.
I have always heard that a road Grader is the hardest piece of equipment to run. He made it look easy. To bad you are not in Alabama, I could use your advice on my 1000' gravel driveway.
Looks like you are out in the "Juniper Jungle" towards Alfalfa. I too live on one of those "County roads" that the county by law can't maintain. We don't have a local road district though. That's a good news / bad news kinda thing
DJI action camera rocks!
GoPros are garbage! and I've lost so much important footage years ago it's not funny, things that will never happen again lost forever because the camera says its recording, but it lies also it shuts off on its own out of the blue! thought i was getting the best footage of my life then later im devastated because there's nothing there, still upset about it to this day, can you tell lol;) and great job taking over the street department! Need more like you out there!!
PTL you finally got road construction equipment. A little TLC by you two should make your road more enjoyable to drive on.
I'm glad I use my phone to make my videos with... i have heard a few issues with peoples gopiecesofcrap... lol
Another great and informative video, thanks Casey. Good job on the roads you two.
Thanks for more discussion on road districts, I’ve not heard of that concept.
Awesome job I've grown up working road crew with my dad and uncle's my dad ran the Biggest road crew and asphalt company in southern Tennessee
Dude I didn’t know you were from Oregon. I’m from Oregon. Have lived here my whole life. Next time I’m in bend I would like to get a chance to meet you and say hi
The packer shuts off when you leave the seat, just like a lawnmower.
ran grader for 5 yrs for IP ans 2 yrs for the local town one of the best road machines ever can do everything on roads loved doing it guys good done it before
Looks great!
Just stumbled on this. Found it so interesting. Thank you.
