Cerro Gordo Ghost Town Finally Has WATER!!

we got 40 000 gallon water tank to the top of our order largest single piece of equipment to ever make it up that road by far so originally we were gonna bring it up unload it put it in the ground give you guys one video but that was a lot to just get to this point so we're gonna wrap it up call tonight tomorrow we're gonna start digging one big that is a lot of dirt we're gonna move put that bad boy in the ground and the american hotel will be like back full speed ahead on track uh now we've got to unload it without dropping it put it in the ground without smashing it and bury it without destroying anything and we'll be in the water yeah [Music] so [Music] all right it's time day two sarah gordon's time to put that big old chunky tank i like them chunky underground so that's where you slept this is where dreams happen it seems a little tight basically we got about an hour or so of prepping the area we gotta kind of dig in a new road uh try not to bury all of brent's rebar and then figure out exactly what orientation he wants it so we're getting machines warmed up yeah and then figure out where we're going [Music] warranty [Music] not today buddy dude are you serious back-to-back calls no who uses a ringtone anyways put this inside are you seriously calling me again block oh it's unknown fantastic a few moments later join you again mr sparks mr fvt [Music] hello listen you cannot keep calling me you know i'm on there listen i understand but take my number off your list don't call again don't call again no don't don't just don't call again i'm not interested zero interest okay guys did you know that identity theft is one of the most common forms of crimes in fact it happens every 14 seconds here in the united states it's out of control and to be honest with you not many people are doing anything about it like the federal agencies are supposed to be protecting us from these scammers robocallers telemarketers people are just blatantly ignoring the rules and the laws so that's why i have decided to download the r app and they're the sponsor of today's video so aura is identity theft protection fraud monitoring vpn password management and antivirus software all combined into one easy to use app so here's the thing i've used a bunch of different apps to try to protect my personal information but what i found out is that while i was locking the front door i was leaving the side door back door wide open for these identity thieves to come in access my personal information and do terrible things with it which i'm not okay with and one of my favorite parts about aura is the fact that it allows you to have a family plan so you can put your entire family on there and get updates about everyone anytime any of my family's information is used well i give a notification in real time that way i can jump on it before it's too late the problem with most people is they check these things like once a week or once a month and by the time you log in take a look and see what's been going on it's too late they can wipe out your bank account they can make purchases in your name they can destroy your credit and your reputation which i'm not gonna have happen to me which is why i have aura which is why i am proud to say that their sponsorship today's video and i want all of you to give them a try all right so all you have to do is click the link in my description below go to r dot com forward slash heavy d sparks they're gonna give you a two week free trial to see how it works as soon as you create your account and log in

scratch the road cover right here okay [Music] right so this has to even just have the psi to get to the pump has to be 10 feet above the bottom of the thing perfect love that okay we don't have any underground utilities or anything right here we got a power line going from there to the church but nothing's going from the house to here in the house there just so if i could just kind of cut that straight right there i think the truck in here is not going to be easy without getting it all off kilter either so i think the best thing is to have just a straight shot i think if you were to bring it here you'd go up and then reverse in and then you'd have to build a ramp up and then just level this and then that way we could drag it yeah we could pull the loader in from this side and have the excavator high lift the excavator and back the loader up and set it in position we have a level uh like a laser yeah it's a gear or yeah we have one healer yeah i can get it or i can finish it okay good eyeball across [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right well we're at the time of the day where dave runs the machine for like the next two hours and i'll just kind of sit here and watch so uh plan as of right now is dave's creating the road there's nothing we can do until the road's created so we kind of just sit here watch them run the machine make fun of each other can't tell if it's bad boy or if that's a never mind i can't stick and that'll get me deleted can't i just want i just wish everybody could have heard the noise he made this morning at breakfast about the cat he heard last night and then tried to convince us after he made a cat noise that it wasn't a cat actually take that and wrap it around the ground because it's just a hot mess hot mess actually you know what there's a group of people i'd like to make fun of right now and that's the 60 of you people that aren't subscribed it's like it's like going to the fair and not riding the rides it's like going to a quinceanera and not partaking of the the amazing food they'd have there it's like it's like going to bad boy's bedroom and not touching his mustache that's what it's like not being subscribed but watching our videos but subscribe yeah so far so good i think we're doing good uh it's about where the tank's gonna go tank needs to be about 10 feet above the basement of the hotel so that way the pressure's there and so far this has been going really smooth if you ask me and we have a new road so win-win [Music] it used to be the dump for the hotel so you saw a little bit of glass [Music] look for a whole bottle is what we would ideally love to see [Music] [Music] right there that was almost a treasure almost a treasure real treasure let's grab a little cough medicine oh it's still wet if you look far across the way you'll see jackknife jim jack knife jimin is in his area there in the payload enjoying the air conditioning meanwhile the king of the jungle dave sparks continues to excavate finding a place to lay the tank [Music] name of the stock is beaumont you want to talk about quality you want to talk about the kind he's got the socks to go got the shoes [Music] looking like a little miniature immersion version of daddy got the muscles look at the cut off shirt and what am i bet on i'm poisoned right here down who get a bit nervous [Music] listen watching the machines run is cool jim heavy d great at it but just in case you want a little break we're gonna bring you a little entertainment live from jackson diesel oh dj you know diesel jacks [Music] we had a lot of time to uh you know the bond we have this bond and this this this bearded love beer together not weird [Music] [Music] what are we doing ellen uh digging a hole thanks captain obvious what are you measuring uh the width of the tank so they want to they don't want to go too far that way this side of that yeah [Music] walk it around put it in place right probably fill the hole in a lot of dirt if you're dragging that tank around though you have to lift it and twist it also doesn't matter what we think is the best plan that'll come up in his mind that he's just gonna do you may present three good options and he'll be in the fourth it's gonna be the fourth which is the same as your first with a few variations [Music] so [Music] what you got we got a bottle still with a cork in it no liquid what's a little ball say on it i can't nothing that i can see it might be like a medicine bottle it's going fast it's going really fast we got something over here too look like an old chimney baby it's coming it's uh slower than the usual dig because we're finding all sorts of treasures some complete wine bottles and finding like some ceramic beer bottles that they imported from like the london so pretty cool a lot more dirt uh that we're moving than we kind of anticipated so it's gonna be a challenge getting a tank up here and getting it in place we have to knock this all flat and fill it back in but pretty good [Music] bottle cans basically everything you'd find from a uh outhouse so this is their uh little poop chute digging through so [Music] all right guys a little update for you we've got the trough the whole dug where we're gonna bury the tank uh we're gonna level it out now we'll grab some laser levels and make sure we're kind of within it doesn't have to be perfect but we want it to be pretty damn close um and then we gotta figure out which direction we want the tank in i think that is the way we want it right those four holes i think on that side would the water's coming out that side yeah i think so so that would be perfect if we were able to back the truck in anyways the plan is to create a path where we can get the um helmet basically back itself right here in the hole that way it's sitting low and then we can grab it with the loader and the excavator grab the tank truck will drive out and then we can gently place it because if we try dragging it this loses the dirt so loose that it's just going to slough off and we'll have to re-excavate it with the tank in the hole that's a nightmare so trying to move the tank as little as possible just because it is big and stout but also it's so big that you know moving it too much is not great for it so i think we're just going to cut a little drive path right through there and just uh plan on backing straight in that's the general idea right now so i guess if we had to we could pull it in just know it straight in doesn't really matter which yeah pull in or pull out i think they put those flanges on that side specifically for the valves yeah they just put the plate over that other side did they hold oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] getting quite close so it's almost game time [Music] bring her on down fill her on up i'll fill her up once he's done cutting this the problem is is you like your chainsaw and cutting it for it ain't cutting it for us [Music] nobody thought he could do it with the dog the battery down [Applause] dude this has never been done before railroad tie with assault [Music] make sure you film it oh man my jokes are so good let me get this guy some food he's grumpy did you get it [Music] so [Music] [Music] the plan is we're going to join a chain there's some d-rings that hook onto the eyelet right there on the back of the tank up to jim's bucket junior charger lifting the back i'll hook the d-rings that are already on today's excavator bucket together they'll lift it they'll set it right on those logs easy gg lemon squeezy we're out of here [Music] so cut her down [Music] [Music] so [Music] mark that way [Music] yeah we're gonna push those in a little bit [Music] [Music] the tank's in the hole set it down laid it in i don't know how but still nothing majorly awful has happened it's blowing my mind but it's great it's uh the loader didn't tip nothing on the logs on the ties we're good we're gold let's wrap this thing up [Music] ready yep crazy old album he's a wizard he's a wizard harry ladies and gentlemen out here let's start over ladies and gentlemen our work here for now is done right brent this is the other tasks this is good about this i feel very good about this this is something that when it came up there was a requirement again didn't know i was gonna do it yeah but uh much needed much needed this is i mean this is huge for the town it is huge and we could have gone smaller maybe four like ten thousand gallon tanks or something but oh yeah i i like the i like the one and done approach now as soon as you're involved it's like yeah i was like find the biggest tank you can find and uh honestly it worked out great like logistically that was way smaller than that super challenging but ended up being super easy so yeah not complaining uh grateful for the opportunity to be back up in your beautiful town and i'll tell you what man the weather's been amazing great dude it has treated us very nice i'm still waiting for something to drop still because everything's like something like this so smooth i can't believe it everything's gone let me just look at this this is ridiculous forty thousand gallons of water right below us ladies and gentlemen well 000 gallon capacity yes uh and we have not buried it yet because uh brent wants to make sure that everything is done 100 the way that the county wants it the way the engineers want it make sure that we don't bury it prematurely and then have to pull a bunch of crap out of here also you're thinking about maybe bringing in some different material or sifting your current material a little bit but i think eventually this will just be kind of pushed out a little bit and nobody will ever know that this is 40 000 gallons i think we're trying to back yard i think about like it's crazy to think about like the history of this tank you know this is actually here long after us yeah i wonder what they're going to think when they're like yeah digging down there [Laughter] need to leave some kind of torture chambers yeah we need to drop some just weird items in there but basically what we have now is protection for the hotel hotel burnt down before hotel's not going to burn down again because 40 000 gallons of water is enough to wash the hotel down the mountain this will be production not just for the hotel but the town too yeah so we'll have a little hookup where if anything government happens up here which is never you know they've never had that ability before to fight a fire so it's huge yeah so that'll make sure the cereal grower sticks around for awesome a lot more time that's awesome well uh this was a quicker trip for us last time we were here for like a week almost uh this trip we were here for a few days we got a tight schedule we gotta get back so we're gonna head home we're gonna leave brent with this we're gonna leave with the excavator for a few days so that they can do the finishing touches on whatever they got to do and uh with that said i think we're ready to hit the road right hey can we go thanks for having us man this is awesome all right well let's go well guys that's a wrap for this cerrogordo trip we came we got the tank we hauled it up the hill we got on the ground so now brent has 40 000 gallon capacity to keep this town nice and hydrated and protected from future fires now listen before we go i
