Great video! What beautiful figure on that concrete slab 😂 After this massive project is done, I'd love to see a one-on-one interview with Donavan and learn about how he approaches big jobs and how he keeps all of his tools organized / knows what to prepare for each work day. I'm super impressed by how he can just switch trades seamlessly so rapidly.

Matthew ..as a retired contractor (75) I'm telling you that you've only so many repetitive-motions in your joints and ligament- cushions. Please think about mechanical assistance wherever possible. The quality of life you save WILL be your own. That trek to your gravel pile w your heavy wheelbarrow was really ill- advised. Tractor a wagon full of debris .. and sit on a tractor seat. OK? You're a great guy. So treat yourself accordingly.
