Bath Walls | Moving Rocks With an ASV RT75 Track Loader

Рет қаралды 30,774

Күн бұрын

Bath Walls, Moving Rocks for my pond with an ASV RT75 Track Loader. In this video I install cedar boards on the walls of our off grid cabin in the woods wet bath bathroom. Then I siphon water out of our natural swimming pond to get it ready for construction. I take delivery of a rental ASV RT75 Compact Track Loader. I use this skid steer to grade my remote gravel access road. Then I use it to transport large limestone/Sandstone rocks to the top of my hill to the pond construction site.

If you can get a working septic system in for the cabin they do make an easy to winterize type of toilet in the form of an RV toilet. They also do make ceramic RV toilets so no fear of having to sit on plastic. Might end up needing a pipe flush setup to push the waste to the tank but that would be easy to setup when you get the spring water piped to the cabin before it discharges into the pond.

@50Acres 2 жыл бұрын

We ordered a composting toilet around a month ago but its backordered and still has another month or so before we get it. I could also build a septic pretty easily but it seems a waste of time and resources given how often we use the cabin.

@808v1 2 жыл бұрын

@@50Acres I think the only way to expand a channel like this one and avoid alienating anyone is to maintain a rigid production schedule re the cabin videos...always have those come out on the same day/schedule and then post other videos other days (it would be wise to also adhere to a sched) - that way the potential upheaval of the existing sub base is mitigated and you can gradually build a broader audience while maintaining your existing one. The issue with this approach is the work increases and deadlines mean something re posting. Re the name of the channel you can just put a slight twist on it without wholesale change.

Just a suggestion, maybe paint the wood in the bath in the same color family as the tile. You've got a lot of texture going on but also a lot of color going on at the same time. Perhaps this would simplify the design a little. Painting the upper walls as you did in the bedroom is a good choice, in my opinion, and will help keep it light in the bath and will also tie into the design in the bedroom. I know you are strapped for time with winter coming on so do what you need to do and don't worry about the rest. Everything will come together in time. I'll be watching whenever you have time because it's always interesting to me. Best regards to you and Sarah!!

when you run equipment it takes seat time, you don't have to think slow movements, instead think smooth movements of the joysticks, ease into it and out of it, thats how you avoid the jerking motions. some guys when they start will run the throttle at 1/2, but the machine is designed to run at full throttle. at the end of the day it just takes time. also stage your rocks so your not tracking back and forth to pick one up at a time, make sure they are relatively close to where you want to place them or in reach.its no different then setting up a table saw 1/2 way down a drive way and making one cut at a time to walk all the way back to the house to nail it up. hope this helps.

Thanks Jonathan, it definitely helps. I just need to operate more, I go long stretches and when I get back on the machine I'm always rusty.

Mike if you don’t mind me asking what do you do for a living? I would assume carpentry but I could be wrong.

@50Acres 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Mark, I used to be a cost estimator for the US Air Force for 14 years, then I transitioned into buying, fixing properties, being a landlord and just whatever mischief I could get into.

Those skid steers sure are fun and can get a lot of work done. Was wondering if I was going to see some egg moving with your excavator for the Camarata challenge.

They really are fun! I'm not sure if there are enough Eggs in the state for me to do that challenge!

Mosquito's won't be able to breed because the surface water will constantly be circulated.

@50Acres 2 жыл бұрын

Those rocks come from my neighbor who quarries them. I have pulled quite a few from my property as well, but I realized it will take me forever to collect enough to do the pond so I figured why not just buy a bunch from my neighbor.

At some point, been taking a break from that because people seem to be pretty tired of shingle videos!

I have that same switch panel in my tractor and I found the quality of the spade connectors are terrible, I had to take them all out and squeeze them with pliers to get them to stay on the blade. If you have intermittent connection problems, that's why.

@50Acres 2 жыл бұрын

Thats a bummer, hopefully the lack of vibration will allow me to get away with them.
