What happens here

Sam expresses immense relief now that the wall is finally done, highlighting the 'long and brutal road' of construction. He details the various challenges encountered, including water issues (due to the complex being built on a pond), material problems, multiple soil corrections, machine breakdowns, and adverse weather conditions. Blaine, in his picture-in-picture, reinforces these points, explaining that such unforeseen events lead to significant financial losses from lost days and accumulated overhead. He concludes by stressing the critical role of software for contractors in accurately calculating bids, tracking project progress, and managing costs to navigate complex projects and avoid financial losses.

Goal: Sam and Blaine reflect on the numerous challenges faced during the project, emphasizing the importance of planning and data analysis to manage unforeseen issues and maintain profitability.

so it's the last cut just measured it out that feels good to watch it's so good to get off this one all right guys this has been a long time coming it's been a long and brutal road but this wall is finally done and what a relief let me tell you what everything on this site fought us every single step of the way they were having water issues this entire complex is built on top of a pond we're having problems with the materials we were having to do soil corrections we were having problems with the machines we were fighting the weather just one thing after another but we're done and well we weren't quite done at that point we still had more cleanup to do we had to lay out the rest of the filter fabric and then we had to power broom the lot we weren't gonna wash it because everything was freezing and it was bad so we ended up power brooming it no big deal but i feel like overall hopefully but hopefully this video has helped you guys out or entertained you at least we got some cool stuff coming down the pipeline some of you guys wanted to see some hand tool stuff so i got that uh if you haven't if i'm not really sure where that's gonna get released yet in what order oh lmn software i really want to clarify that these guys are an amazing group of people to work with they really have been a friend of the show they've helped give me enough time that allows me to stay in a fairly regular consistent program monday wednesday and friday at 6 00 p.m um that's what my release date and then i'm always trying to be on for that hour as well so if it wasn't for those guys uh man my life would be a heck of a lot more difficult and just to let you know they're a software system for contractors and this is probably one of the absolute best fundamental things i've seen like period um and i mean that wholeheartedly because the software system it just doesn't do do do do you put you just punch it like a monkey hit and a keyboard it actually it coordinates with your entire accounting system and so many other so many other advanced capabilities one of my favorites that a lot of guys hate a lot of guys get pissed about this but they actually have gone through and they have industry pricing so as you're calculating out what your proposal should be and you're lost which a lot of guys get lost there's industry standard pricing that helps you figure out how to do the bids and proposals like what's the price per square foot for retaining walls or the price per yard for mulch at this…
