I almost cried watching you two at work. 58 years ago I was doing the same thing. At twelve my daughter enjoyed making a ditch straight and even faster then many operators, then over night it was art and cloths and I lost my cheap operator to her teenage years.
Todd, I'm a homeowner with property. I own a Bobcat E60. Thank you for all the tips and tricks that have helped me install culverts, create nice grades, and avoid screw-ups. Love your channel. All the best, my friend!
I’m always looking out for your new videos. Great content as usual, it’s always a great time bringing the kids to the job. They will always remember those special memories. Looking forward to the culvert install.💪🤙💯
Another great video. Been waiting on a video for a while. Always enjoy watching them and you clearly put a lot of thought in production. If I had to choose between video production and family time, well, we all understand and can wait. Enjoy your family cause they grow up way toooo FAST. Loved the clips with you and Sophie. Awesome memories!!!!
Love seeing you involve family, thats what its all about man. Good stuff, few years im sure she will be grading with the best of em. We had some severe storms here in middle tn.
Bringing your daughter to work is awesome. Watch out, she may be a better operator than you because she is starting at such a young age. You bringing her to work really shows what a wonderful dad you are. I'm touched.
Love the rain this time of year. Guess you are getting the rain that I have been fighting for the last week and a half, here in central Ky. And they are predicting rain for the next 10 days here. I have a building pad and parking lot that I need to finish, but I guess I am going to be on vacation for a while, lol. I have 3 foot of clay to dig and pack down on a 90x140 pad. We had to undercut the pad around 3 foot due to the lack of hard pack. It has been a battle for sure.
100% Todd, my youngest is 10 but I still use baby wipes all the time. Wiping surfaces down, cleaning up after a job before I drive, I even use them to run caulk by wrapping one over my finger and smoothing out the bead. Nice video!
@@DigginLife21 Yes sir, works great. Perfect amount of moisture and you can reposition one wipe on your hand and get a long distance done, then toss it and grab another. Before I tried it I hated fingers getting messy and I hated wasting a rag on it…lol
I can relate. Storms can roll in fast when you're working on a pond. Wish I had video of it. I just skimmed yours for now, but I'll check it out more thoroughly when I get time. Keep up the good work.
Not only you are so good at land works but now you also are incredibly good at the cinematographic art. I appreciate a lot the drone turning around white you are digging, really wonder what is the drone used. And also the view in the bobcat (maybe over an helmet over your head ?). Well I must say that you are doing is soo nice and good.
Nice video! I'll give it 11 out of 10 for cuteness content. Even cuter than my dog riding in my lap. You need to add a rubber nose for your disguise team of makeup artists - LOL! We got quarter sized hail over here in Jackson County. And a gulley washer like I've never seen here. Not exaggerating.
Thanks brother!!! She’s an awesome kid for sure. I’m excited to start bringing her along more. They were some bad storms for sure. Hope you didn’t take any damage
My man Todd glad to see some new content from you... I guess you have grown up to ONLY big problems and have left the driveway grading projects alone. You are still the GOAT of the Equipment in my opinion and your commentary is awesome! Keep posting and I'll keep liking, viewing, and subscribing! And you are still working by yourself too....
Glad to see you back to work so that you were selling the one machine and didn’t see a video for a week or two I was concerned and enjoyed it as always
Do you ever use the plastic coupler's instead of the poly fill? Man I remember having my son in his bouncy chair watching the original Wiggles (that's how old I am) "Wiggly Christmas" while I was renovating houses. LOL! Now he works with me running equipment. I've even seen the original Wiggles live in concert! I went from going to Guns & Roses, ZZ Top, BB King, Oak Ridge Boys concerts to the Wiggles. LOL! Great memories you've brought back. 😁
I gotta tell ya Todd, Sophie was having a ball, I am suprised you didn`t shape the pond and clean up all the edges, he must just want a small pond I guess, be well Todd we will see ya the next time.
What's the deal with all these "pond builds" I've been seeing on different channels? Are these for agricultural use, or is it just rich people hoarding resources?
Ponds are great for the environment and they have nothing to do with hoarding. Especially when they have a flow through design like the one Todd is building in this video.
Hey brother!!! It’s definitely a popular type of project. This customer in particular wants a little pond for his kids to play in that we can make larger as they grow. You’re also right that a lot of ponds are for agricultural purposes. Thanks for the great question 🙏🏻
