There are machine operators then you have letsdig18 and Chris it absolutely fascinates me to see how you can chop and change from one machine to another but to watch you on the komatsu dozer is mesmerising and how the hell you build a roadway, unfortunately on a flat screen you have difficulty seeing the gradient your putting into the road but they all turn out great, even the city dam rebuild had me captivating how you went from hardly anything of a dam to another fantastic job where you think of how tidy it looks the spill way and to is it good enough so they can mow the gress and keep the area neat and tidy and as you would like go see it, thank's Chris this is another fantastic video.

I'm glad to see that you make the effort to skim off all those roots, logs, branches etc... buired in the soil to put to put down a good base even though it means hauling more base material. Shows a pride in your work that unfortunately not a lot of contractors would care about these days. Mostly you see people getting by, by doing the least work for the most money they rob you for shoddy work. Keep up the great work ethic.

Road is almost done. The clay sure packs well for the private road. No heavy trucks will travel often to cause swells or ruts the the main driveway. Such a long driveway will be a challenge when there is a heavy snow. I can believe the owner with deep pockets must be prepared for such an occurrence. It is a great visual experience to see how well you do your jobs.

And the speed at which you do it, is breath taking.

Chris It's not the direction you turn the steering wheel. That is different. It is how fast you change direction. When you turn the steering wheel of a car. You have a little time before the vehicle actually starts changing direction. This is worse the larger the vehicle. Semi's on the other hand you will often need to steer the opposite direction. Articulation reacts immediately. Witch you don't expect from a large truck. You are used to the Peterbuilt witch you have to turn 15 to 20 before you actually notice it turning. Where as the Volvo turns immediately. God bless
