I hope that Grady continues doing this series for other construction projects as well. The general public should know more about construction, and this format is very conducive to that!

sad that these videos perform less well than your regular ones, it's one of my favourite series on youtube! I'd love to see more

I didn't even realize your Practical Construction series is getting less viewership than your normal videos until you mentioned it :(
That's terrible, because this series is the best! It's amazingly rare to get such a look into how civilization is built.

I love how, up until Grady said this project took 10 months, it looked like each episode could almost have been a day. That added some true scale to it!

The lack of drama with clear concise explanations of everything going on make this genuinely informative. Tying the multidisciplinary construction approaches together in such an easy to watch format is brilliant. Thank you.

I’m building office furniture for my work, while these guys are building critical infrastructure that everyone relies on. Huge respect.

Really dig how one guy with a youtube channel can produce content on par with Discovery or TLC in their heyday. Great job Grady.

i must say, grady hillhouse, a civil engineer, is a perfect example of nominative determinism xD
I do love this series, and hope to see more in future

I’m in I.T. but this has been an absolute gem. There are so many things this has covered that you would have to be in the industry to otherwise know.

Grady, I hope you can consider this series a success - because I'd love to see more similar content. It's both interesting and educational. Gives us mere mortals a better understanding of the infrastructure we rely on every day, and builds respect for the good folks who build and maintain it. Much appreciated.

6:55 "Construction schedules are not made with narrative structure in mind"... of course... But it'd be absolutely awesome to see the timetable of a construction job like this shown in one of these videos! What things are done in which order, what things can be done in parallel, how rescheduling would work if say the weather prohibits work on a scheduled day and so on!

I'm surprised this series isn't performing as well as your regular videos. I'm 100% involved in this project now and I've been waiting for the new episode to come out each week! With the amount of time/money you've spent making this series, I hope you are recuperating your costs.

Having formerly been a construction PM, I've been absolutely loving this series. Not a lot of people get to peek "under the hood" at what a construction project actually takes. (Myself included for Civil projects like this, I worked in a completely different industry.) Keep it up Grady!

I’m enjoying this series! It feels like a cross between PBS Nova’s old episodes about infrastructure and How It’s Made, which I haven’t seen since I was really little. I can’t wait to see what’s next once this pump station is completed :)

I, for one, love this construction series. So much goes into infrastructure projects, it almost boggles the mind.

I’m a construction super in Boston, I watch guys work at work, then come home and watch guys work on YouTube! I like this series, it’s cool seeing a different type of construction in a different region and spot the similarities and differences from my world.

I am a Mechanical Engineer and am enjoying your series. Keep up the great work!

would be nice to see a graphed overview of the entire project in terms of how much time each discrete job took, perhaps with notes about manpower, equipment, and costing... i feel so weirdly attached to this infrastructure now! if i ever visit san antonio, i've GOT to visit this lift pump!

This series is fantastic. I was really unaware of the amount of time, planning, work, and skill that goes into even a relatively small scale construction project like this. Interesting and educational! Thanks a ton, Grady. And thanks to the construction crew for letting us peek over their shoulders for almost a year!
