Thank you for the compilation video on the road building. I don’t think one gets the scope of a project until you can see the compilation. Every big project needs a compilation video for your own library but also for your viewers. These videos do not come together in 5 minutes. It must take hours to do this. We are so used to you building some big project and making a mini movie every week that the viewers have become a little greedy for content. In a way it is a huge compliment that you are that good. I have watched your camper video and your tiny house video a few times marveling at what you accomplish. ❤️

No one would ever know the struggles you guys went through building this road after watching this video, yet for us who fallowed the build week after week we can look back and say what a great accomplishment you made. Your self built million dollar road deserves a commemorative detication sign. Its truely a phenomenal job, many thanks to all that lent a helping hand in its construction.😊

Great job with that old dozer. If you’re finished with the road it might not be practical to invest in repairing the transmission in it, but I’m sure many viewers (myself included) would be very curious what’s inside it. A repair would make fascinating content.

That old dozer is a caterpillar model 68A, it was my first machine back in 1977. Even in minus 40 that thing would always start because of the pup motor. By the way guys, when you’re dealing with rock, half throttle at best. Otherwise you’ll wreck everything. Never let your tracks spin, push as much as you can without spinning. Enjoy.

And even if there is something that's not perfect down the road (pun intended) when muddy season comes around, you guys have the equipment, and skills necessary to fix it. SUPER awesome.

I wanted to mention this before, but forgot. Get ahold of your local horticulture organization and see about native wildflower seeds and scatter them alongside the beautiful new driveway. Also there are some places who give away or sell fairly cheaply wildflower seeds and plants for polinators (bees & flutterbys). And scatter those alongside the road as well. Think of the gorgeous drive in and out once they are established. Grass is nice, flowers and plants are better.
