Sir, I just subscribed to your channel it's wonderful to find a you tube channel. and to hear you talk about God and Jesus is Awesome. I will go back as far as I can to watch your videos I so very much appreciate you. May God Bless you and your family and all you do. I myself drive a simi and the things I see on a daily basis is concerning about our world today. I do believe that we are drawing closer to the ending times so I really appreciate channel's like yours for Encouragement. Take care Brother
Jon, wow! Thanks for the very encouraging comment. I am glad you are part of our growing CZcams channel, and my hope is to share Christ with the CZcams world. It is an enormous opportunity to reach folks who may not be hearing it anywhere else. God Bless, Sam
I worked at Tennessee asphalt and Roger’s group operator and dump truck driver all in all I was in it for 25 years loved it I own a landscaping business now God has been really Good to me I do what I love every day
Thanks Todd! You were trucking for a good while then. God has been very good to me as well. Hope your landscaping business does great this year… God Bless
Thank you John and welcome to the channel. I sure hope your recovery is quick and you are back on your feet in no time. But keep on watching though. 😁 God Bless, Sam
Nice job working in less than ideal conditions. Sure would’ve been nicer if those fences weren’t there in the deeper spots. Sorry about your truck part, but it looks like a straightforward welding repair. Thanks for showing us how you did it, and especially for speaking plainly about what it takes to have a conversation with/ someone truly seeking Jesus. It’s just a conversation. Our job is to make the introduction. The Holy Spirit’s job is to take it from there.
Hey Jeff, that is exactly right! We present the Gospel and the Holy Spirit takes it from there. That was a cool project and you are right, those fences were in the way… God Bless, Sam
The music you had playing for when you started spreading rock with the CTL was spot on because as an operator there's no better feeling than working on the finish product.
Rewatched! This was one of my favorites of yours sir! I didn't know how you were planning to address the water issue, the strategy was genius to me..... Thanks for sharing!
@@tristardiggin This video came up for me today and I enjoyed watching it again. I believe this is when I started watching your channel after this one....
You will enjoy hearing this. A fella that watches the channel called me wanting info on the Trimble Earthworks system. He lives close by so I said come on over and you can check it out, and he did. We talked for a while and then he mentioned the message in the videos. Before he left he gave his life to the Lord! Got saved, as we would say!!! God is using the messages to reach folks. Pray that we can reach many many more...
@@tristardiggin LOVE IT! What a platform God has trusted you to use sir. That is going beyond the 4 walls of the church....thanks so much for sharing that with me I will continue to watch your gift be used for the glory of God!
Thanks. Only way to fix those holes is cut the side out so it can drain. But they didn't want to spend the money for me to fix it right. So, I just bridged the water. Some folks just want a band aid put on the problem 🙄... Sam
@@tristardiggin It's hard sometimes knowing that it's a temporary fix but it's what is in the budget. At least the areas you fixed will be good for quite a while. 👍
It seems simple. Covering the two hour ride in the chariot, and therefore believing. We don’t know the more than half of it, the logistical toll, the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual endeavor, going all the way, travelling from a foreign country through Jerusalem and back again to that spot. That was the groundwork. Afterwards, from receiving the message through a true ministry, that isn’t a hiring or paid preacher. Or titled preacher, then like you say, there’s a life of obedience, trying to get more lined up.
Yup, a trash pump would work pretty good for that. The road was solid it just had some deep holes from where the loggers went through there. Just had to build the road back up with the big rock.
Dressing up turd! Wont be long you will be back maybe fixing it the right way. Owners never understand that they can pay now or later to get it done the right way. But it looked good when you finished
That's some good stuff God bless you what part of the country are you from love the videos I do the same kind of work hope to have me a you tube channel before long
Thanks for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it. It's hard to get a new channel going for sure. How did you find it? I am in South East Tennessee, Polk County.
It was in rough shape when I got it. Had it painted, new deck and a few things refurbished. The brand is Eagle, 20 ton trailer. Haven't seen that brand before but it is well made for sure...
Went back and looked, wasn't sure what you meant by 3 beams. That view makes it look like a beam in the middle. But that is actually about a 4" gap between the deck boards. I have a cable that lays in that opening that draws the Ramps up. Also convenient for sweeping dirt out that way.
Love the videos brother. But love the fact that you talk about Jesus and lead people to the Lord and to eternal life. That is our most important job here on this earth. He is so close. We are about to go home.
You know the old saying goes you could put lipstick on a pig but you still got a pig you were dealing with a whole Lotta problems there look good though be safe
I have had 2 of these International dump trucks and a couple International straight trucks too. I have been very pleased with International. Just don't have any experience with other makes. However, I'm currently looking for a tandem axle dump truck and mostly looking at Mack trucks. No particular reason, I suppose, other than I just like them. Main thing is check it out good to make sure it is in good mechanical condition. Repairs can be very expensive... Thanks, Sam
@tristardiggin yessir , thank you. I hear them Mack trucks are really good off road . Maybe has something to do with their suspension . I'm no expert but that's what I've heard . Thank you for your reply
It really needs a lot of work like getting on the other side of the fence and fixing the drainage, but wasn't in the budget. Thanks for watching and commenting...
You can make a living with a skid steer. Diversify the business with different attachments. A skid steer and mini x is a great team to do really well in the business. The following are a few thing that you can do to keep a skid steer running every day. Land clearing, brush cutting, driveway building and repair, utility install, brush cleanup, mior demolition work, building small pads, etc.. That is just a few things it just depends in what is available to do in your area.... Hope that helps...
@Tristar Diggin' thank you for the reply. I was thinking about getting the attachments for land clearing and mulching. Going to start out on the small end equiptment wise. I've already got svl75 skid steer , a gooseneck trailer, and a 1 ton dually. Just need to invest in a dump trailer and some attachments. And a mini ex down the line. Thanks again for tbe tips

Another great video, thanks Sam
Thanks Mike!😀
Sam I enjoyed your message. And you did a great job with that trail you turned into a road. Be Safe Out There
Thanks Jim! That was a doozy! It needed a lot more work but wasn't in the fellers budget. But it's certainly usable again.
God Bless,
Sam
Rewatched! This was one of my favorites of yours sir! I didn't know how you were planning to address the water issue, the strategy was genius to me..... Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Aaron that was a cool job to try and figure out how to fix it with limited room to work and a small budget…

All the extra gravel it took to fill in those
Swimming pools could’ve been offset by doing the job right and digging ditches for the runoff
The fence was in the way
Wow! We typically use a leaf blower to blow the water out of the hole and off the drive, but we haven’t had one quite that bad before. 😳Nice work!!
Thanks. Only way to fix those holes is cut the side out so it can drain. But they didn't want to spend the money for me to fix it right. So, I just bridged the water.
Some folks just want a band aid put on the problem 🙄...
Sam
@@tristardiggin It's hard sometimes knowing that it's a temporary fix but it's what is in the budget. At least the areas you fixed will be good for quite a while. 👍
It’s very interesting to watch how you assess the problem you’ve been hired to solve and how you proceed to solve it.
Thanks, I like going to a new job site and seeing how the problem can be fixed.
Nice work!
Thanks, yeah that was a mess!!!
Nice job Sam.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it…😀
👍 beautiful job
Thanks John. I appreciate that!
And I love the music. I added your music to my CZcams music 👍

Definitely a life of obedience follows salvation!

Everytime I watch this I enjoy the strategy!
Thanks Aaron! 😀
@@tristardiggin Happy Thanksgiving my brother! O GIVE THANKS... for He is good!
@aaronburford5701 Thanks Aaron and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. The Lord is good for sure…
Trash pump would be handy for some of those deep holes.
Would it be worth throwing down a little geo grid to help stabilise those boggy spots
Yup, a trash pump would work pretty good for that. The road was solid it just had some deep holes from where the loggers went through there. Just had to build the road back up with the big rock.
Enj o y your videos and your message be a good hardworking man of the Bible you always do best job u can with what u have
Thank you Mike and I appreciate you supporting the channel...

Right, you do what you can with what you are given to work with. Definitely needed a lot more work for sure.
Sam
Nice repair work. That rock down here is so expensive not many people use it. Sure does make a nice running surface though.
Thanks! Yeah it's high here too. $22.5 per ton plus tax.
Sam
@@tristardiggin it’s 40/ton here
Wow!
Hey, I've been meaning to ask if you saw any bump in views or subscribers since you were on Brandon's channel?
@@tristardiggin I had a bump in subs. Views maybe a little. I just need to post more but it is an absolute chore with our not so good internet.
Still one of my favorites!
What size gravel did you use?
Thanks glad you like it. I used 57's on this one. That makes a good driveway gravel. Crusher run works better on steep driveways though...
@@tristardiggin Thanks for responding my brother!
That's some good stuff God bless you what part of the country are you from love the videos I do the same kind of work hope to have me a you tube channel before long
Thanks for watching and subscribing, I really appreciate it. It's hard to get a new channel going for sure. How did you find it? I am in South East Tennessee, Polk County.
@@tristardiggin I have been watching alot of you tube this week I have covid so I haven't been working
Wow! Hope you get to feeling better. God Bless!
Didn’t look like much crusher run was put down. It didn’t look like 3 to 4 inches at all. But it did make the holes disappear.
Not even close to 4”. It was a low budget job but it turned out pretty good for what money there was to spend on it…
@@tristardiggin yes it looked good.
What size rock did you put on top of the 2 inch? that road looks just like our driveway. Thanks for the video just what I needed to know.
Best I can remember I used 2” for the base and 57’s (3/4”) to top coat…
@@tristardiggin Ok Thank You Sam, have a Great Day.
I like that dump truck/trailer setup. Never seen one with three beams like yours. What brand trailer is it? Yes that driveway was in pretty bad shape.
It was in rough shape when I got it. Had it painted, new deck and a few things refurbished. The brand is Eagle, 20 ton trailer. Haven't seen that brand before but it is well made for sure...
Went back and looked, wasn't sure what you meant by 3 beams. That view makes it look like a beam in the middle. But that is actually about a 4" gap between the deck boards. I have a cable that lays in that opening that draws the Ramps up. Also convenient for sweeping dirt out that way.
Love the videos brother. But love the fact that you talk about Jesus and lead people to the Lord and to eternal life. That is our most important job here on this earth. He is so close. We are about to go home.
Hey thanks, I appreciate that! I agree, it’s the most important thing for us to do.
God Bless,

Great excavating and road prep. Leave out the biblical stuff unless it has to do with work. Thanks!
Chad I appreciate you watching but the message will always be a part of the videos that I do…
You know the old saying goes you could put lipstick on a pig but you still got a pig you were dealing with a whole Lotta problems there look good though be safe

Dumping it over the fence, is just making it worse in the future, damming it up !!!
