If you haven’t heard of Will Wright, you are missing out on SO much more. Owner Will Wright is a jack of all trades - excavation, chickens, cows, produce, a sawmill, trucks - he does it all. Today I followed Will in his Kubota to a giant white pine on his property which he cut down, trimmed, shaped into logs, transported them to his sawmill, and shaped them into 2 x 8s. I got to film the entire process from start to finish. Not only was I impressed that he did everything himself, but that he managed to physically outpace me at every step. “I wake up at 6 am and walk 2 miles every day, 7 days a week,” Will explained while he stopped to eat a healthy self-packed lunch in his sawmill. “This land…I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My dad used to say ‘all roads lead to home.’” I kept telling myself in awe: this the life. ??????

Russ Talpey and the rest of the Talpey Construction crew has done it again using Western Forms, Inc. to create beautiful columns. A house will sit on top of these, which will help the structure withstand the relentless forces of nature. It takes mental fortitude, strength, consistency, teamwork, and a little humor to get these jobs done.

This one is for my fellow gear junkies who want to know what my camera rig looks like…so I threw in some bonus material. These are my two most frequently used pieces of gear, lens and all. When I’m trudging through mud, I carry my Sony FX6 everywhere. It doesn’t matter if I’m climbing ladders or standing on staging, I bring this thing with me to war. The Gmaster 70-200mm is great for those tight shots from a distance - especially if I don’t want to get in the way. That @smallrig.us 212 on the back keeps me powered up the whole day, getting juice to my camera, my Hollyland Technology Pyro 7, and my Rode NTG5. It’s a heavy rig, but a stable rig. Now when I’m safely at my truck away from it all, I fly the DJI Mavic 3 Pro. I can get any shot I need to from this workhorse, and even switch to snapping photos with a single tap of the touch screen. If I had to pick two cameras, these would be them.

Concrete foundation evolution photos really show the processes required to get jobs like these done. These photos don’t show every single phase but let’s list some more of them below. ?Excavation ?Micro piles ?Site layout and line snapping ?Mud slab form, pour, and strip ?Grade beam form, rebar, pour, and strip ?Backfill ?Snap column lines for forms ?Column form, measurement, bracing, and staging ?Bolt pattern templates ?Column pour and strip ?Form removal and site cleanup There’s a TON involved with pouring foundations. Columns have added challenge of their own between rebar, bolt patterns, and ensuring they are plumb. Excellent job as always by Russ Talpey and the Talpey Construction crew.

Southern New Hampshire Poured Concrete Construction Inc. is pouring the beginning stages for a grade beam and columns right on the ocean in Rye, NH. Arctic winds were blowing directly off the shore, but the crew persevered. This team effort with Granite State Concrete and Independent Concrete Pumping made it all possible.
