    Congrats on the 30k subscribers. Your channel is growing with leaps and bounds. Great content as usual is definitely the reason for the channel growth, Mike. Keep up the great work. Your explanation of how the job is done is far superior to a lot of similar channels. Hard work and no gimmicks is proving to make your channel a channel to look forward to.

    Boss, that log hauler was a bit sketchy… overload, under powered and sitting sideways on the mountain. My guess is that youth and feeling bulletproof might have had something to do with it…
    Glad you got your squeak fixed! I had a problem with my backhoe seat that bugged me for a couple of years. The seat swivels and serves as both tractor and backhoe seats.
    Because I had traded for a newer version of the same tractor, I knew how the seat was supposed to work. But, on this tractor the seat wouldn’t latch when I popped it into the backhoe position. I had to manually press the latch bar to secure it.
    Because I had 12 years of experience with the old one latching every time, I constantly forgot to do so. I’ve had it for almost 3 years and still aren’t used to it.
    A couple of weeks ago, I was digging post holes for my neighbor. When I backed up to position it for the first hole I forgot to latch it. As I climbed onto the hoe, I grabbed the seat and it flipped back. I looked down at just the right moment to see a bolt head sticking up under the latch. It was loose. The head stuck up just enough to hit the seat lock bar before it embedded in the latch… two turns with a Crescent wrench and the seat operated just like the old one did.
    Was it one of those rare Kubota factory oversights? Nope… the dealer had backed the screw out to get clearance when they were routing my optional 3rd function valve… and had not tightened it all the way down afterward.
    Those Kubotas are well made… if you just know what you are doing!
    Watching you run sideways on that slope … I kept saying, “Don’t throw a track. Don’t throw a track.” That job site is getting safer everyday.

You seem to have a need to do things right as we all know, but it’s evident you care about the entire crew, no matter if they are working for you or with you!!! Excellent. This seemed like a disaster waiting to happen at the beginning, not saying it was wrong, but I don’t have experience with building on a ridge with this material. It’s now very clear that you can build almost anywhere with the right engineer/s a great foundation and a contractor that can see that in a hill of dirt and bring it to fruition!! Well done!!
    This looks like it will be a gorgeous home in the end with an awesome view!
