How I got started in excavation

all right what a video I've been asked for quite a few times people are interested in how I got started in excavation let me try to talk about the first few experiences I had with excavation and the first pieces of equipment I bought and all the pieces that I bought that I sold and and why I did it in the first place so really I got into excavation almost as a necessity because I had been planning on buying a vacant piece of property for a couple years and I knew it was gonna need a driveway and clearing and a lot of work done as I was only looking at untouched parcels and hiring someone to do the amount of work I was gonna need to do would have been way more expensive than just buying the equipment and doing all the work myself plus it was something that seemed like a lot of fun to me so I definitely wanted to do it myself all right so I got to talk about my utility trailer quick that trailer you often see me towing behind my pickup truck I didn't buy that actually made that so here's videos of it or pictures of it you know this is pretty much done all the metal works done here and there's the primer on it so it was the rusty metal primer for the frame and then the clean primer and here it is painted and then I wanted to thoroughly paint it so I brought it outside and tipped it over to paint the bottom of it to make sure I didn't miss a single spot and here it is with all the decking on it that was my friend had that brand-new pickup truck at it at the time but yeah I've actually I've gotten a ton of use out of this trailer and I still use it today all right before I talk about excavation let me just talk about lawn mowing quick I was mowing people's lawns for a while I never made much money doing it mainly because the mower is always broke but it was good practice to deal with customers and I met a lot of people doing it so I'll just show you some of my mowers this was probably my favorite mower here I think it was something I paid like 40 bucks for and I really liked how this one worked the problem was it would just break all the time but I cut a ton of grass on that thing then I bought this Toro zero-turn thinking that would be better but I don't know how people mow lawns on these things because this thing would get stuck all the time if the ground was a drop wet it would immediately get stuck and you could not go in Hills with this thing whatsoever it would just slide down hills out of control and ponds were like a magnet for this thing like I got this thing stuck so many times and you couldn't get it out and I'd be driving my pickup truck through someone's yard to pull this lawn mower out of some ditch or something that shouldn't have even been stuck in in the first place so and plus this thing used to break all the time too so I did not like this mower there's a picture of it stuck in nothing all right so then I bought this lawn mowers like all right this is four-wheel-drive it's diesel it's new it's got a shaft driven mower deck this one should be good but this one didn't get stuck at least but that mower this thing was a piece of garbage you could not cut grass on that thing it would break down constantly that mower deck just did not break it just did not work at all plus it didn't even do that good of a job cutting grass then I added this flail mower to the back of it that was a little bit better but it was just kind of annoying so I sold that I still cut lawns well not long I still cut fields and I used this tractor and it's probably a good thing I could never find a lawn mower that actually worked because then I'd probably still be stuck doing it not making that much money doing it but I'll do the occasional field with this thing and this this that mower is great like you can hit stuff you could chop up cinder blocks with the thing that thing almost never breaks so it's very nice to just go mow a field and not even question if the equipment's gonna break down I should talk about pickup trucks quick this was my first 3/4 ton pickup truck was in 96 f250 I think I paid three thousand four and then it came off a plow and this was a pretty good truck for a couple years I really liked it but towards the end the thing got super unreliable and I was just constantly fixing it and then it had like a few major repairs in a row and I sold it with a broken transmission but then after I sold the Ford I got a super good deal on this dodge this was a 95 and had a diesel motor in it and the thing was in really good shape and I paid 2,500 bucks for this truck with a plow and I still have that plow that plow is awesome and yeah this was a great truck and I probably still be driving this truck but a tree fell on it and you know I drove this for a few years and I was gonna fix it when the tree fell on it and needed a cab in a bed and then I bought a parts truck that had a cab in a bed and suppose we had a bad transmission and here was the tree that fell on it right here and I ended up driving the parts truck because it said I bought it at auction said bad transmission couldn't drive it nothing got a home started up it drove drove around the block I said well this thing drives pretty good I driving the parts truck so and then I think I sold this truck I think I got like 2 grand for and I kept the plow so I was lucky on that one well kind of I was kind of lucky oh and then I at the same time I bought that dodge like the same day I bought this army truck and you know that was pretty cool I mean it wasn't super practical but it was still it was still neat I did use it for a few jobs I used I did use this for a move on my excavator a few times before I had my dump truck all right my first ever experience of excavation was when I needed more storage in my garage because I was doing a lot of work in the garage and there was a lot of stuff in there that was in the way so the plan was to build a shed on the back of this garage now what was in this spot there was a big rock in this spot and I had hired one of my friends at the time his dad had a backhoe and he came over and dug the rock down as much as possible and then I had him we couldn't get all of it because it got harder so then I had him dig a trench next to it and then I rented a back or a jackhammer and used that to break up the rock and then just throw the pieces that we broke off right into the trench that I had dug so that worked pretty well and before I did any of this there was a big stump there and that's I dug this stump out by hand it was a pine tree stump like a you know like a tree like that a big pine tree and pretty much I just dug out it with picks and a shovel and using a chainsaw and a hatchet to cut off the roots and then I just like stuck a bottle jacks under there with big plates so they wouldn't sink them to the ground and I pretty much jacked this huge stump right out of the ground I wish there was a time-lapse of that because it took like two days to do it and my day I thought I was like crazy or something for doing it because no one even asked me to do it I just decided to dig out this big stump by hand just to see if I could do it but yeah so then once the rock was all broken up you know that spot was cleared and ready for the shed that got built there which was nice because it cleaned out the garage and then I was really able to get a lot of work done in there once once there wasn't junk everywhere so [Applause] [Music] [Applause] piece of heavy equipment I had ever run was a terabyte backhoe I had rented it to spread out a pile of dirt and dig some post holes for a fence and then once I finished that work I had it for the day I made an ATV jump with it and did a little bit of clearing with it all right so I had used that terabyte backhoe to the material that I took from the shed excavation I moved over here and I used that rock and dirt and I made this wall and it planted these trees and I dug the holes for this fence with that Tara might and that went pretty well I wasn't super impressed with that Tara might so the next machine I ever ran and I didn't take a single picture of it unfortunately but it was a my dr the water line to the house broke and it needs to be dug up and replaced and it was probably maybe a 200 feet dig and it's got to be down four feet so it doesn't freeze so my dad had hired these guys that essentially they rented this volvo excavator it was pretty new I don't I think it was like a 27 or like a you know maybe at a 2 or 3 ton unit and the guy who rented it he had no idea how to run the thing and then I ended up running it and within 10-15 minutes of running that thing I was so impressed with that machine it was just so awesome because I was working on a steep hill and I put the blade in front of me to level out the machine and the machine was so smooth and so fast and quiet I was so impressed with that machine you know I knew I had it to have one you know my dad's like oh you can just rent it you know it's only three hundred dollars to rent it for a day I'm like yeah that's crazy do the math all right I rent the thing for a year three hundred dollars a day for a year I I could have bought a few brand new ones for that price you know you just gotta own the machines you cannot rent them that's just added a question so so yeah after having that experience on that excavator I knew that was something I had to have and I was just looking at used ones from that point and just kind of you know I didn't buy one right away but I was at least sort of saving up money and getting and looking at what was for sale so I at least got an idea of what should be going for what amount of money this is the first piece of heavy equipment I ever bought it was a 19-6 see 265 John Deere 1010 bulldozer had a gasoline motor and I had done a ton of work to this thing I paid 3500 bucks for it but when I bought it it was yellow and rusty and it worked but it needed a ton of work so the things I built this roll cage on it it didn't have that I put these track pads on it the ones that were on it were like smooth and they just didn't get any grip I rebuilt both front idlers I rebuilt the steering clutch on this side I did all new gauges and pretty much rewired the whole thing did lights lights so I I used the quite a bit I brought it on a few jobs and stuff but it wasn't a very profitable machine to be bringing on jobs because it used to break down like all the time and you know but it was a good it was definitely a real good learning experience and you know one positive thing I got out of it like I did a bunch of jobs at my house and you know I put it I did some clearing and put a driveway in from like the middle yard to the very back yard and you know I'm still like using that driveway and stuff so it was useful so here's here's some pictures I took when I was rebuilding the steering clutch and that's the final drive out and the tracks apart and there's the idler had to rebuild that the bearings in there so here's another John Deere 1010 I bought but this one never ran and I was I never even tried to get it running because the guy I bought it from said it had seized up my 30 years ago and it had been sitting outside but I think I paid like 400 bucks for this all right my second piece of heavy equipment was my Komatsu excavator and I still have this and I still use this a lot this has been an extremely reliable machine I've probably only fixed it maybe three or four times since I've owned it and I've used it I've gotten a tremendous amount of work done with this machine this thing is absolutely great okay so Mike I guess third piece of heavy equipment was this Ford 1520 tractor and I still have this and I still use this tractor a lot I've gotten an absolute ton of work done with this tractor the thing is excellent and it has been very reliable now here's the tractor I had fixed up just kind of for fun it was a 4-2 n so here's a before photo of it and then there's an after photo and I pretty much the full service on it fix the wiring painted it all right another bulldozer I bought was this I think it was from like the 40s or 50s as a caterpillar d2 and I tried to get it running but I was never able to the previous owner I bought it from I only paid 300 bucks for and he said he had the pony motor running but when he'd engaged the pony motor to the diesel motor which is stall out the pony motor and he said the diesel motor was seized up by I mess with it for a while but I couldn't get a free top I was trying to even pop start it with another bulldozer but it was just locked up but probably the more interesting thing about this I wish it was on video because when I went and bought this I went there with my pickup truck and my trailer I had built went in an electric winch and my plan was to winch it on the trailer and there was like four old guys standing there telling me I was never gonna do it and I should give up and I was crazy and they're just saying it wasn't happening and wasn't happening like I eventually told him like to all shut up and it took me like two hours to get this thing on the trailer but I got it on and I showed him and like they all like they were like speechless because I was like jacking it up with jacks and just winching it and that was probably that was probably really I wish there was like a time-lapse of me doing that because you know I don't know what this thing weighs probably five tons but you know the tracks were seized up too so it wasn't like it was rolling or anything and it was down a hill in a difficult spot so winching that on the trailer was no easy feat and there it is like I painted it you know paint painting it doesn't make it run but alright so the next piece of a heavy equipment I bought was this thing I don't know if you guys ever seen these before this I've always kind of was interested in how these work alright so in the Northern Tool catalog these are in there and they're still in there it was $15,000 free shipping for these and I always kind of saw it in there wondering how it was then I saw one on Craigslist in my town and the guy wanted like 9,000 for said had 40 hours on it so the thing was pretty much brand new I was like all right well you know it's only right down the road let me go check it out so I go there you know I run it and I offered the guy five thousand bucks for the thing which is like you know almost like half of what he was asking and he was like annoyed about it but hit it's like he took it so that should have been a sign right there how this thing was but um so I ended up with this and I wasn't even here this wasn't even for sale that was there too just sitting there I saw I had a couple flat tires look like it hadn't moved in a while and I ended up making a deal on both of them so I got the backhoe too so then we got it running and drove it on here's my army truck and I borrowed this this trailer from my friend and I got that home like that and then I fixed you know I spent like a day or so fixing the backhoe I had to fix some tires and do a bunch of little stuff to that to get it going again but I still have this backhoe I still use it it's been pretty good I mean I have to fix it pretty often because it's a John I don't really like John Deere stuff like John Deere stuffs always seems broken to me but um I do tolerate this one I have fixed it quite a bit but it's okay it's the last John Deere thing I'm ever buying though but all right so talking about that nor track bulldozer so the day I closed on my property you know I had that up in there within like the hour because the plan was to widen up the driveway and kind of clear a spot cuz like my driveway was there was like a trail there and you were rubbing through brush the whole time and then you couldn't even turn around or anything so so I brought this in there widen it up and then really got a chance to run it this thing was kind of a piece of crap it would break all the time the tracks would fall off of it it was constantly having an electrical issues that I pretty sure it worked them all out when I sold the thing but plus the transmission like used to lock up on you like you go forward to be moving and you put it in reverse and then let the clutch out and it would just be locked so then you'd have to put in forward again move a little bit then go in Reverse so that was like really scary that the transmission was gonna break and I don't know the thing just kind of felt like it was too small to do like any real bulldozer work it would have been a cool little track tractor because they had three-point hitch and the Perkins diesel ran good and it was really fast which was cool too we had you know like ten gears and if you put it in the highest gear would move but one thing that happened on it I had quite the accident and I've never really had a heavy equipment accident before but it was more I don't really feel it was operator error as much it was just a piece of crap machine so I'll explain what was happened and this is the hill going up to my building so my buildings like you know probably right in here right up here in this flat spot so that's this is you know Mike so anyway I climbed up the hill with the thing and I was starting to cut in this driveway right here and I was cut and I was pushing up you know then I was like all right you know I think it'd be better if I was pushing down so I'm right here trying to turn around and of all sudden I'm turning to you step on the steering clutch to turn and all of a sudden steering the thing just starts rolling backwards towards this hill and there was no brake pedal on the thing I was kind of thinking the whole time it didn't have brakes really the brakes were like the steering clutches the steering clutch pedals so you it would have had the step on both of them to have brakes but they'd brakes it would disengage the steering clutch but the brakes wouldn't come on it was just way out of adjustment I ended up fixing it but it was such a stupid design on that thing so anyway I was rolling backwards and I'm trying to put it in first gear I couldn't get it in gear cuz it was rolling trying to put the blade down to stop me but it happened so quick I just kind of went went right off this hill backwards and I you know like as I got to here I saw what was happening like I'm not stopping it I was gonna try to jump off the thing but I it was like the cab on this thing was just so small and was so hard to climb in and out of it so I just kind of leaned forward and just crashed you know and it was I ended up cutting some trees down to get it out of there but I pretty much sold that thing out you couldn't get any work done on that machine I remember doing work on it work there later and just the tracks would fall off and then the things just this thing was just a complete waste it was just a piece of garbage so that this was like the driveway and the driveway kind of sucked because that was the truck was stuck and I used to have to winch and stuff when you're going in and this was probably going out I think I was bringing that thing home fixing it all right so I so forget those junky bulldozers and couldn't get any work done I know so here I am with my backhoe that was actually getting worked on and then I had okay one of my friends who was he was starting excavation right around the time I was too and he had just bought this machine and he came up with it and that's kind of how I learned a lot of stuff was working with this guy initially because he had experience working for a big excavation company before so I just kind of watched some of the stuff he was doing and I was so amazed with that machine know the big excavator could really get stuff done because like the backhoe you couldn't really pick stuff up you know because there's no thumb you couldn't grab stuff so you were just kind of sliding things around it would get stuck in the mud it wasn't maneuverable the excavator could pick up trees and just do whatever you want and it could go anywhere you so at this point I had a trail and I was able to drive into this lower section here and I had a little space down there cleared so I could turn around and park and stuff but I knew I wanted to put my campers in my building and everything up on this hill here and this this driver wasn't here there nothing here it was just just like the woods you see it was trees and just a hill so I had already failed with the one bulldozer to get up here so then I was here with my backhoe and I was trying to come up the hill with the backhoe but the thing it would get stuck at the very base I couldn't get anywhere in that thing I couldn't even move so my friend was here with that green excavator and he was able he drove that thing right up this hill like it was nothing with that excavator and he just and then started and he cut this road in with the machine and pretty much that green excavator is the reason for this driveway being here so you can see there it is so once I saw that I knew I had to get an excavator like that it was just so impressive how that machine was able to drive up that hill almost effortlessly and then I started looking for a big excavator too but you know the backhoe is nice but it's just you can't the backhoe can't do near what the excavator can it's just not even close like back hoes can do a lot of stuff but they're not good at anything they're just fair at most excavators are excellent at stuff so yeah so that's the driveway was kind of in and then I was bringing I had all these campers I had collected so here's this one that one was pretty nice inside so I brought that up and here this is where my building is like right over here and this is before my hot tub is like right over here yeah okay so here's the rock that's right in front of my hot tub so my hot tub house is like right here and my building is like right here but you could see how different to site look before all right so this is funny this is my one steep driveway going down I decided I wanted you know two driveways up my hill so um so I just started going down it backwards with the backhoe and just digging my weight but it that was pretty scary because that was a little steep for the backhoe and it's just like there was nothing behind you but like drop off so it was that was sketchy but I I got it in but I didn't like finish it then I was trying to finish that with the the bulldozer and I remember that was the day that the track fell off the 10/10 and I'm like all right let me go get the that nor track that what are the other bulldozer to pull then the track fell off of that thing - so I - bulldozers sitting there if no tracks on him I was like right these things are garbage I gotta get rid of these and then I think we used my friend's green excavator pulled them out of the way and then and then finish this this hill with so I don't know got fit got finished so then I bought this saw III didn't have a dump truck up until this point so I bought this one ton I paid 1,300 bucks for this I still have this truck and I got a lot of use out of this thing this was a great little chit still a great truck so this is at the guys house before I bought it and there it is but um yeah that's international that thing is great I almost bought this machine I kind of almost wish I had it was a pretty nice machine and I can't remember I think the guy was maybe asking like 18 for it and I think I I made him a decent offer I offered him like 16 which I felt was fair like it wasn't I can't remember what the numbers were but it wasn't much less than what he was asking and I probably even would have paid more for it but the guy was kind of weird he said a few things that were weird and then plus he had the controls he changed them all around on this thing so it was like John Deere a backhoe controls the pattern was not what any of my other machines or any of my friends or it wasn't the standard pattern so that just kind of annoyed me I mean it's not a big deal but I mean this was a nice machine but I didn't buy it but then I made him the offer he said no I went home he called me up like an hour later he's like I'll take that offer I'll deliver the thing and I was like I'll get back to you and never bought it but it was probably for the best because then like a week or two later I found this for sale and I still have this this is my big x-ray that I tachi x100 and I've gotten an absolute ton of work done with this machine you know once I got that I was really able to get stuff done on my property because my friend with a green excavator you know it was like summertime by this point and he was busy on other jobs so I couldn't really get him back for a while especially for the amount of work I wanted to do so once I got this I could really get stuff done this was nice and you know there we are working on the driveway that's my friend's truck so here's um so this is then I start once the driveway was kind of in and headed down the lower Hill Climb I cleaned up I started digging like the flat area up where my building is so my building is right here and this is before anything was there so this was still you know there was no flat spot up here like it was all a hill so what I have to do to make any fight you'd have to come over to this side take dirt and then come to this side and dump it and it was quite a bit of that this is um so then Hurricane Irene happened and that was kind of a pain for me because a bunch of trees fell down and it took took away time from where I was trying to do with my property but anyway if my friend had lent me this sawmill and I used it to build this shed here because there was a shed here that was kind of junk that fell down so all right so yeah this is uh this is right where my building is right where the machine is so that's pretty neat seeing that spot you know if no building there you know just fling I was flinging this car around that's trying to get people i riding it no one wanted to get in it so here's putting the gravel down on my driveway or the shale so I put that because it was just all mud before you used to get stuck all the time so I put down pretty much this is how you got to do it if you're putting in a road like you gotta just dump each load touching the load behind it so like my driveway ended up getting like over 100 loads on it but then you know you spread that out and track it in and you got a nice road this is a truck I probably should have bought this truck I think the guy wanted ten for it and actually I still really want a truck like this that's I should buy one I need it but didn't buy that one so yeah here's my army truck and there's my new I just bought this trailer so there's my new trailer and this was moving this someone gave me this shed so I loaded that on the trailer the excavator so here's when I first got my dump truck and then you know there's my new trailer - so then I was able to you know I didn't have to borrow my friend's trailer anymore and now with the dump truck you know that you really kind of need a dump truck we did that one ton couldn't carry enough weight it wasn't it was okay for some stuff but if you're trying to haul stone or something the one ton just wasn't heavy enough and then you know once I had the truck and trailer and everything in the excavator and I had experience because I had done a ton of work on my own property then I was starting to take bigger excavation jobs so here's one I would demolish this building and then loaded all the debris and my truck and hauled it away but that was probably one of the bigger jobs I had ever had up until that point and that was a pretty big building plus it was full too so I was there a couple weeks all right so here's my yan Mar this machine had actually been local for me it was only right up the road and I used to see it all the time sitting in this guy's yard and then the one day I drove by and I had a for sale sign on it I was like I'm buying I knew I didn't even know what the price was I just knew I was buying it so I bought this and I had to do a few things to it initially the one he didn't have a bucket for it like he had this trenching bucket which was stupid and then he had this grading bucket which was stupid plus it was broken so like the guy like the whole time he owned it he didn't have he didn't have the right bucket so I don't even know how he was running this thing because neither one I've never this buckets I've never it's stupid I don't like that bucket and the trench the grading bucket is nice if you're grading if you're not grading it's not that nice and then the thumb on it too was like too short like it didn't meet up with the teef like on either bucket like the obviously in this trenching bucket it would end up like right here so you couldn't even really use it and even on a grading bucket like it was it was just too short so once I got the new bucket and the and I made the thumb longer and had to do a few other repairs to this thing I think the fuel tank was full of algae when I bought it but this machine has been absolutely great this is definitely like a lot more useful because the big orange one is kind of too big for a lot of jobs this one can kind of do anything this is this machine has been absolutely great the thing is almost never broken I mean only handful of times I've ever had to repair it so it's been super reliable and I've just gotten tons of work done with it so then like that same week I bought this it's like 1960s caterpillar 950 5h and the reason I bought it I had kind of had a few old people tell me like two different people didn't know each other you know be prior to this like they like you got to get a 955 they were swearing how it was the best track loader ever made and so I'd always kind of been looking for one and then then I found one and I bought it this thing is awesome you can really move a lot of material with that thing it gets a full scoop every time which is cool and it's pretty quick and it's been very reliable I haven't used it on a ton of jobs because it's rare to have a job that kind of calls for it but when you need it it's it's awesome okay here's another track loader I bought this is a John Deere 2010 diesel and I was at this farm equipment auction and the kind of the joke with this auction it's like everything there is like garbage and it's like we always joke it's like oh the scrapyard had a yard sale or the the scrapyard had an auction that's what the joke is so this this was probably like 10 nicest thing in there at the auction but it was selling for like 1500 bucks and like the auctioneer auctioneer was like ending the bid and I even want the thing but I'm like man for 1500 bucks I wanted then all of a sudden like I start bidding on it and all of all all of a sudden I was the winning bidder for 3,000 bucks so I'm well had that happen so I should stay away from auctions but anyway I bought that and I got some work out of it but it wasn't I was always kind of fixing it like always like I was always messing with the starter there was always I got this it was alright but I was just fixing it too much I ended up selling and I painted it looked like look look nice painted but yeah look at that looks brand-new there huh actually I've seen it a few times since I've sold it I sold it to this guy locally and he was putting in a road with the thing and I think he got some work done with it but I think he's like been so busy at his job I know he bought a backhaul for two because I told him about that but I was on a job and there was a backhoe sitting there like the backhoe attachment that goes right here and I asked the guys like hey I know a guy who's got the crawler that that backhoe goes on and he's like yeah I'll sell it so the guy bought it and it's still sitting there he never even picked it up and I told the guy like dude I'll move it for you and he I don't know he's been too busy working or something on his regular job to even be messing with this thing but but it's still around it was kind of you know I wish it was more reliable because it was really cool I really liked running it was like a hydrostatic transmission so you had right in front of you had a stick was high low neutral and reverse and you didn't have to step on any clutches or anything you could go from high to reverse immediately and then you could travel and high and be in high gear and then when you're getting the scoop you push it into low and it gave it a lot more power and you you know it would always get a full scoop it was pretty cool but then you had the hand steering with it and then it had the four gears too so you had your four gears plus you had high and low so it was like having a gears so the thing was like super fast if you put it in fourth gear and high if I just if it was more reliable this thing that would have been a really cool machine but I was just fixing it too much well I could keep looking at old photos and talking about him but I was trying to kind of do them in you know the order and the time they were taken and what year was this hanging on this was uh this is 2014 so you know it's not really how I got started an excavation anymore so I'm kind of getting off-topic right so hopefully this video was entertaining or useful to you so if you're looking to get started in an excavation hopefully you picked up some good tips out of this another good tip I can give you you know heavy equipment it's a little bit of an investment and one way that really justifies it really well as if you're buying the equipment to work it on your own property and bring it on jobs it's a little harder to do one or the other I've seen people will they buy equipment and their whole reason for buying it is just to bring it on jobs and do other people's work and that's a little hard to do because one you're not totally picking up you know you can't like be learning or training yourself on jobs you really got to do it at your own house first so if you make any mistakes or you're just kind of learning you know it's not on some customers time and annoying someone and you know pretty much every job I've ever done for a customer I did it usually for myself first so that's how I it's a real good experience you know and then I've seen people where they'll buy equipment just to work for themself too and that's completely fine if you have a huge job and you have the time to do it you know buy the equipment do all the work then you could sell they even sell the equipment when you're done even if it takes you a couple years to do the job that's fine if it's a smaller job that's where it gets hard you know if you're a borderline oh should I hire someone buy the equipment so that's uh you know that's tough right there but um you know good luck so the whole reason I made this video is because I was asked to make it by quite a few different people so B&N it's wintertime now and my work kind of just stopped essentially other than snow plowing I have time to you know these videos do take a decent amount of time to make but I have time to make them so if anyone has any other suggestions for a video that you'd like to see let me know in the comments
