Will we be seeing "Concrete with the Hauses" doing the pad pour. Stage 1 complete and it looks good. Stay safe.

Pond didn’t look good in the early view. Then the comment about the clay and issues with the pond. Hope this comment is wrong and it’s filled up for a great summer. If not, then we’re in for more videos…

John is one of the good guys. Nice to see the project kicked off

Everything he said made complete sense. I have never thought of it the way he explained it. Great video Adam!

Adam, it's not to often that the owner of a company will come out and show you how to run a piece of equipment! Sounds like a good company and group of guys there. Looks good just hope it didn't take away from the breast of the pond to much. Looks like part of the drain pipe laying there. As always enjoy watching!

I had my double knee replacement surgery on Tuesday, so I'm gonna need more Hometown Acres videos, Adam!! God bless y'all! ♥️🙏♥️

Excellent work in the dozer John! Adam….way to be supportive

The video I didn't know I needed to see. Who knew I could watch a dozer for this long and enjoy it.

John is a very humble man. And YES you are an expert. Well done.

A very interesting and educational video Adam. This project will be an excellent addition to your property.

Great foundation for all the work ahead, John. Neat vid, Adam. 👍👍

That's how you do it - find people who you can learn from and not just about money. Keep cuttin' Adam!

Now I know why my dad always had me hold that end of the tape measure. 😅

Another way to check for square is the 3,4,5 method or in 30' 40' 50'

What a humble guy, I'd have no problems buying equipment from a guy like John. Wish I was closer!

Check out the cat performance handbook on production rates. There’s a lot of useful information. Don’t look at the blade when running the machine, look out in front of you to see the high and low spots so that you can adjust your blade before getting to them.

Great episode, looks like you accomplished every kids dream of the Tonya Dozer Bucket List and a whole lot more. The comparison of Dozing and Accounting is an Excellent on how two completely different jobs can be relatable with transferable skills. The efforts of harvesting Contacts/Customer with skills and with the boots on the ground knowledge being passed along with the support of a local business is what the Bedrock of what Top Shelf Grassroots Economies are Based on. His Equipment Business is probably successful and changing more than the skills of their Customers/Operator’s lives. 🤩👍👍👍

very interesting, I knew you did NOT want topsoil under construction, but I never have had the explanation of WHY !!! very good info on dozing, also !!!!

GOOOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE from Paducah, KY…been out here doing my side hustle…hoping to be home tonight in Virginia Beach…finally finished watching. Very informative. Well I’m your way now. Looking forward to watching through the completion. Have a day

The place is looking great, Adam!

Great vid Adam! Thx for expanding our knowledge.

I'm glad you made it bigger to fit Doug's home away frome 'get away' for when he gets kicked out of his place.

Anytime you can go hands on is a great learning experience. Good job Adam. Take care and God Bless!!!❤😊

Great film work!

Thanks! Very impressive!

Great video, glad you and Doug got some seat time

Great start!

Seems like a great guy and a great company.

Great job

CONGRATS!.... LOOKING GOOD!

Hi Adam it looks great, glad you got some time to work with the machine. Enjoyed listening and watching John work his magic with the dozer.

Great video and great job

Very insightful!

John is heck of a good teacher! Adam, I think you have graduated out of "Princess" status. ha ha

Looking good!

Really good video Adam. Nice education on dozer work and a nice looking pad for the building.

It would be interesting to see an overhead layout of where the building is located in relation to the house, the main driveway, the woodyard and the other shed.

Good video 👍

John is a pretty cool dude.

A little yellow paint on those posts would help visualize. Great job thanks for sharing

Awesomeness

What about the pond?

I would love to have topsoil like that, all around my property the top 2 feet seams to have more rocks/boulders than topsoil in it

no issue with POND being above that new bldg ???? might be good to check with insurance carrier, before you build it ????

You might want to consider adding a new Tee Shirt to your merch, "When I grow up I want to be a Doug".

Just curious, will the proximity to the dam effect your insurance costs for the building? Specifically, will your insurance carrier require federal flood insurance before they write "all hazards" insurance?

Get a can of layout paint .

What’s the status of the pond? Based on this video it seems there is a wet spot at the side of the dam, hope im wrong.

What about over flow from pond outlet???

Adam i know you have a good reason I'm wondering why you don't build your building 80'x60' my neighbor just built a 80'×60'🤔

I knew I should’ve paid better attention in geometry class

All the people that complain they "never use the Pythagorean Theorem they learned in school" never laid out a building before.

650K dozer weighs about 20k pounds

The weight of that 650K is around 21,000lbs not 36,000. FYI

Your biggest issue will be the settlement you will see in the building pad over time….. three things were done wrong…. An LGP dozer will not properly compact dirt… is a Low Ground Pressure machine. You needed a small sheep’s foot roller to properly compact the cut material. The fill was placed in one deep lift and won’t properly compact. Structural fill should always be place and compacted in 8” - 10” lifts. And lastly if your cut material is not at the correct moisture content when placed the material will not properly compact……. Considering how the material was placed I would certainly not build anything on the pad for at least 6-8 months. You didn’t tell us how many hours it took to run the dozer to accomplish the work that was done. Not trying to be negative at all with my comments just 100% truthful and to give you a chance to let the pad settle/set up as much as it can considering is was built with no quality control at all and in one deep lift without any proper compaction equipment.

NOT you working shoes Adam!

Surely your not going build so soon that pad was not properly compacted

This music has to change!

Building below the pond level is a stupid idea. Your dad never taught you basics of building & common sense?

Transfomer music sucks.
