(2,035 characters)the hose keeper broke oh snakies crap okay 100 miles away from anywhere our driveway access now is completely blocked off and we're leaking oil okay so what we're gonna do is we're gonna do the rest of this as fast as we can while we keep one eye on this and try not to go into the side ditch what that basically means is as i'm pushing this soil down i'm going to try to do it in as few moves as possible so it ain't going to be pretty but it's basically a race against how much fluid do i have because i got a lot of work i got to get done oh god i don't think i'm gonna be able to do it that's freaking just pouring out i got zero hydraulic fluid here zero zip zero zilch unless it was sprayed up look it's up here right in here right here here we go yep right there okay yep yep yep unless there's some dirt stuck in here yeah there's a lot of dirt a lot of dirt come on come on come on i can't even see where the the pivot is oh man where's the ball there it is so when you're when you go on it's not everybody knows about these hydraulic lines but what my plan is i'm going to detach this one because it's not hooked up it can't leak but i'm going to try to wrap this cord around that way if we stop leaking we can keep working right i'm actually going to leave this one hooked up so you get it rotated around then you pull the sleeve back and then you should be able to pop it off unless it's under a lot of pressure [Music] oh crap oh man there's a lot of dirt in there all right got that down i got that down this should stop leaking now okay [Music] you guys are getting greasy it's a good sign that you're actually working though thankfully we've got this grade at least not right but it's not wrong when i say it's not right it's not wrong it's not finished it's a far it's far from finished but at least it's smooth enough that we can get equipment up here and work over the winter before frost it's been we've already had three three snow storms so next phase is bringing the soil down here and widening out this driveway
