Added: 2026-05-04

[00:00:00]So, the problem with the skid steer of the battery dying, it's doing it again.

[00:00:08]It's broken a lot right now. Holy [ __ ] There's no bearing or anything. Where the is mine? I'm going to go smack him in his head. People got to fess up to it. They got to tell me, "Hey, I broke it. I did this." Stum grinding. Rock shot. Flew out the back of a window. Got to pay to get that fixed. I am done. You deal with it. If I lose a customer, I don't care. back filling the footing block. We were bury We buried two blocks. The Sigma block sitting on the concrete pad.

[00:00:37]That's what I'm talking about.

[00:00:58]All right, YouTube. Start of a new work week. It's going to be the first official week with everybody here. Also, I've been asking, you know, in prior videos, please comment below. If you guys want to see us do one video during the week strictly trees, one video during the week strictly landscape, hardcape, please let us know. We want to make the best videos, the best content, and keep everybody entertained. So, please, please, please comment below.

[00:01:25]Let us know. Also, we're going to be moving this week. That's going to be a freaking nightmare. So, you're not going to want to miss. Subscribe to the channel. Stay tuned.

[00:01:36]>> All right. So, give Ryan the paperwork right now. He's asking for it.

[00:01:41]>> There's no particular order here, so I'm just going to What do you got for estimates so far today?

[00:01:46]>> Nine. pretty good.

[00:01:48]>> Yeah, >> it's a good way to start the week for sure. Cheer report looked good. Like to get, you know, give us some freaking breathing room on the sale. I mean, the sales were great. I mean, there's nothing to complain about. As long as we're bringing in more work than we're completing every week, that's all that mattered.

[00:02:05]>> I'm still waiting for that.

[00:02:07]>> Yeah. Yeah. That that when we start hitting 100, >> we got to be doing significantly better this year than we were last year.

[00:02:15]>> You like the new hoodies? Oh, sick.

[00:02:18]>> It's good.

[00:02:19]>> It's nice.

[00:02:19]>> Alberto worked with me all weekend. He's He's a freaking animal.

[00:02:24]>> How many hours you think you have for your jobs?

[00:02:27]>> Ah, maybe 3 4 hours.

[00:02:29]>> 3 4 hours. All right. No problemmo. Very good.

[00:02:32]>> Okay.

[00:02:33]>> I'll see you later.

[00:02:35]>> New flavor.

[00:02:36]>> Look at that. There's a big flavor.

[00:02:38]>> You know what's going to happen? You're g like once people really start to like get to know us, you're going to be getting fruit snacks shipped to you by the thousands.

[00:02:48]>> Can I get a hoodie? This one's all messed up.

[00:02:50]>> You want a hoodie?

[00:02:51]>> I want a hoodie.

[00:02:52]>> All right, I'll get you a hoodie.

[00:02:53]>> Thank you.

[00:02:57]>> So, we're at Hudson on the Nine, which is a new site. We showed it in a couple videos ago. I just did a walk through with the guys. They're going to be getting everything all clean edge prepped for mulch. Probably they'll get this done. I'm thinking in a half a day.

[00:03:13]There's not not a really lot to it.

[00:03:16]Again, it's like it's an ideal site in terms of size, manh hours. It's the perfect site. I'll do sites like this all day long. So, right now, this is our first year here maintaining the landscape. They're going to go through it, make it look good. Right now, doesn't look that great. My guys will do their thing. They'll get this place looking really nice between today and a couple other days with the mulching and stuff like that. Today, Andrew's on his job. He did really good last week. He got basically the whole stone basin for the wall. He's going to be ready to start laying block tomorrow. Chris is still on his job. They're going to start laying block today. Alberto is going to be wrapping up his job today. He'll be starting a new job tomorrow. Another pretty goodiz fence job. We got two tree crews out today. Crane crew and a bucket climb crew. So, very, very busy day.

[00:04:06]We're running on all cylinders right now. Like I've been saying, Liza's going to do his best. Capture everything, give you guys good content. The last 3 weeks on the tree crew, I've been stressing, has been going phenomenal. I want to keep that keep that high going. Watch the whole video. You're not going to want to miss anything.

[00:04:31]So come right in. Nose in. And then back up into here. This tree. So one these little guys. Two. Three.

[00:04:40]>> Little ones. Not the >> Not the big guy. No. But one, two, three, four, five, six.

[00:04:47]>> What's six? This is six. This >> six.

[00:04:49]>> Yeah. Basically like we have spray paint. I I ran out from here over. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20. Actually, no, that one stays. So, there's your four. It's 20.

[00:05:07]I figure what you could do is just angle the chipper like right right into here and just set like this will be your first pick and you just swing over 10 ft and drop it right here. But, I mean, obviously, if you see it a different way, >> it's free, man.

[00:05:20]>> Yeah, it is cold. only black guy here and I don't have a black hoodie.

[00:05:25]>> You do have a new hoodie though and the hood's way too small.

[00:05:28]>> Throw that thing in the in the dryer.

[00:05:30]That's That's a wrap for you.

[00:11:58]Heat.

[00:12:22]Just got to Andrew's job. We're going to check out the progress, see how they're doing. I never came here on Friday. I was here this morning. We had to mark out the property lines on the right side of the house. The homeowner thought that the property line went about 5 feet over than what it really does and she was pretty upset about that. But there's nothing I could do about it. But yeah, they're they're moving pretty good already. They got I mean quarter the the first block down again. They're using Sigma 8 in Onyx natural wall block.

[00:12:57]What's up Andrew?

[00:12:59]>> You guys are moving good.

[00:13:03]Yeah.

[00:13:05]>> She's she's hasn't called me about the property line on the right side of the house. So I we just got to keep working this.

[00:13:12]>> Uhhuh.

[00:13:13]>> And you know, I would bring it, you know, >> stop >> at the step or whatever.

[00:13:18]>> Yeah.

[00:13:19]>> But I don't know what their plan is, but no, you guys are uh you're moving pretty good. But I needed a skid steer because it didn't start bringing for the >> So the problem that we had with the skid steer a couple weeks ago of the battery dying. It's doing it again. And we got it going this morning and uh Ivan's here right now. We called the dealer. We've never had this issue. We've been running New Holland for 15 years with my experience. They're one of the most reliable machines I've ever owned. We're trying to figure that out. see what the freaking problem is because it's killing Andrew not having this machine running right now. On the other hardcape crew where we're going next, they have the other skid steer and my other skid steer that we have is a wheel machine and it will not do good in this clay.

[00:14:04]>> Sure won't.

[00:14:05]>> It'll get stuck, flip over, all kinds of [ __ ] >> So, Ivan, you want me to run the What do you You need like rubber for the bottom?

[00:14:14]>> Um, I got that at the shop. Well, why don't we just run the tractor supply real quick and grab it?

[00:14:20]>> Yeah, that's fine. But I don't think that's what the problem is. But >> Well, no. If you don't think it's a problem, I'm not wasting my time and money.

[00:14:26]>> Right. Don't waste your time and money.

[00:14:28]I have that at the shop. I can do that.

[00:14:29]This is fine. I already dropped it off.

[00:14:31]Um, dried it off, put this down for now.

[00:14:34]But I charged the battery up all the way to 14.

[00:14:38]>> Yeah.

[00:14:38]>> Okay.

[00:14:39]>> They ran it. They called me back and said, "Doing it again."

[00:14:42]>> Did they shut it off? No, they said it shut off. So I was like, "Huh, that doesn't that tells me that the machine was just running off the battery." So I came back over here, took the battery back out, charged it back up all the way to 14, right? Put it back in there, start the machine up, put my meter on there, 12.01.

[00:15:03]I was like, "That's not good." So I took my little beaten stick there, smacked the alternator, theing the voltage went all the way up to 13.75. I'm like, "Huh?

[00:15:15]You following me?"

[00:15:15]>> Yeah.

[00:15:17]>> You know, one of the ways that you could see if the alternator it is basically working >> Yeah.

[00:15:23]>> Take that take a piece of metal, put it up against the alternator if it sticks to it.

[00:15:27]>> Yeah. Yeah. I've seen that on >> then.

[00:15:29]>> Yeah. But that's that that's my old way of doing things. That's how I always checked alternators to see if they're charging or not. Now, it's still charging. So, I'm like, "Wait a minute."

[00:15:38]So, I try calling Caleb back. He's not answering because they don't want to they don't like giving out information.

[00:15:43]However, so I figured let him run it again while I'm here.

[00:15:48]>> You know, monitor it and see if it's still charging. You know what I mean?

[00:15:51]>> So, is it Can he start it up right now?

[00:15:54]>> Yeah, I'm going to do it now.

[00:15:55]>> All right. Well, I'm going to go check on Louis's job and see how they're doing. We just pulled up to Chris's job.

[00:16:02]They got the concrete poured. I don't really know where the hell they are right now. Surprised no one's here, but concrete's all done. We got the wall block material. We got the gas line ran.

[00:16:16]You could see we obviously what we do is is we dig the gas line down to code, which is 2 ft.

[00:16:25]And then we put the tracer wire in and the caution tape. We uh do a foot above the actual gas line. This gas line ran around to the side of the house. We're going to connect it to the Generrack generator gas line. You can see the riser that comes up. We pressure test the uh the gas lines. Um once we get them ran, typically I think it's uh it has to hold pressure for like 25 minutes. Chris would know the exact answer. We pressure test them for 24 hours. I'll show you over here the gauge that's on it. So, this right here, we seal it obviously and it's at like 13 lbs of pressure, I believe it's got to hold. There's the gas burning fire pit that's going right here, which that's why we ran the gas line, but no, I mean, they're moving pretty good here.

[00:17:20]We'll get It's always way more exciting once we start to see some material go down. The wall block that they're using here is uh two different types of wall blocks. Sigma 6 in limestone corey blend Cambridge and then they're using matrix uh limestone corey blend Cambridge block the sigma block is going to be used for the retaining wall part of it and then the uh matrix is like for the seating wall because the matrix is more decorative than the sigma. So we'll let these guys do their thing over a couple days. We'll come back when there's a little bit more progress. It and when you when we pour the concrete, it goes so fast. We'll come back in a couple days and have a lot more to show you.

[00:18:06]We're going to go believe Alberto's job is complete. We're going to check on his job. Every day there's going to be a lot to show every day at this time of year.

[00:18:14]We look forward to showing you guys the finished product on the hardcape stuff.

[00:18:19]>> Everything all done?

[00:18:21]>> Yeah. Work for my brother.

[00:18:22]>> Just cleaning up the [ __ ] >> All of this title. That >> what did he take the metal down to the port?

[00:18:30]>> Yeah.

[00:18:32]>> The the material for the other D is inside.

[00:18:35]>> Yep.

[00:18:35]>> Let's check out Alberto's job. It's the finished product.

[00:18:53]Heat up Tuesday morning. Got a few things going on today. We got a customer that refuses to believe where her her property line is where it is or me and uh Chris took measurements based on her survey and she's just like that's not it. So, we got to go to Andrew's job, deal with that. Got to go get Alberto started on a new fence job, a pretty big vinyl install. I got to have a talk with our our buddy Adam. I want to show you guys something. He blew out the back of a freaking window yesterday. You know, this is the fun part or the not the fun part of the shitty part that is not always captured. But stump grinding rock shot blew out the back of a window. Got to pay to get that fixed. We have the screen protector that goes in front of the stump grinder. Why he wasn't using it, I don't know. I'm going to make sure that he's using it. Pretty busy day. Lot going on. We will have six crews out today. Again, we'll try to go around capture everything. Day-to-day operation. That's really about it. You know, we're going to get about our day, start kicking ass like we try to do every day.

[00:20:25]>> Look at condom wrappers.

[00:20:34]>> Another little new flavor.

[00:20:38]>> This one's wild, too.

[00:20:41]>> Here, crazy bastard.

[00:20:44]>> Give me that >> broken a right now. the the main pin that holds the boom in place. I don't know if it broke or shifted out or what the problem is.

[00:20:54]>> So, Ryan said it's been like this for a couple days.

[00:20:56]>> So, why the [ __ ] would he >> That was my question yesterday. I noticed it yesterday when I loaded up the trailer. It was performing.

[00:21:04]>> Yeah, but I mean no no no.

[00:21:09]>> Wow.

[00:21:10]>> No.

[00:21:13]Really twisted now. I text him yesterday when I saw it.

[00:21:17]>> This is just broken.

[00:21:19]>> Holy [ __ ] There's no bearing or anything.

[00:21:24]>> Where the [ __ ] is Ryan? I'm going to go smack him in his head.

[00:21:28]>> They the batteries.

[00:21:31]>> This is um it's going to be kind of challenging to do that.

[00:21:34]>> Ryan, did you know that that boom was broken on there, Avant?

[00:21:38]>> I didn't know it was broken, but I I like past like couple days I've been using it. like pilot up on the >> You got the moment you know something is not right, you got to let me know right away.

[00:21:48]>> Okay?

[00:21:49]>> Because if you're working with a piece of machinery that's broke or broken and you don't take it out of service, it's going to literally make it 10 times worse.

[00:21:57]>> Okay?

[00:21:58]>> So that I mean that thing is pretty [ __ ] up right now.

[00:22:01]>> We got to see what we need for parts for that.

[00:22:03]>> Is there a lot of work that we're going to be using that with today?

[00:22:07]>> Well, we're going to put the other Bob on for now. You can't take the pressure off of that cylinder to push it back down or No, >> I don't know. I wanted I didn't want to take off the trailer.

[00:22:20]>> There's a bearing that goes in there, right?

[00:22:23]>> Yeah, there's something. I got to get this whole This whole tail's got to come out. All this got to come out so I can see him stolen.

[00:22:28]>> All right, let's get this off right away. Get the Bobcat on. Just get the machine off and get it in dry.

[00:22:45]skid steer first and then I mean we've been you obviously been using the [ __ ] out of this machine.

[00:22:51]>> How the hell did that even happen? Do you know or >> I have no idea. I mean no idea.

[00:22:57]>> But the fact that it happened and I wasn't immediately told about it and taking the machine out of commission is ridiculous. We got to get that panel off.

[00:23:06]>> No. Yeah. I know what I got to do.

[00:23:08]>> There's a bearing that goes. We got to see how it's assembled. We're probably going to have to order a whole new shaft.

[00:23:13]>> Well, I'm going to call um what's that guy's name? Guy from Parts and Grounds Equipment. He can he can he can send me a a print out and I can just follow that.

[00:23:22]>> And then the other thing is too is I've said this like 800 times. We need to put another bolt inside.

[00:23:26]>> We did. Must fell out. I don't I don't know how they I don't know what they do.

[00:23:30]Oh, this is All right. I'm going to go see Andrew to have him get the skits to your to you right away.

[00:23:37]>> Get that um and my bag of tools that's in his van.

[00:23:52]>> We're over here at SevenZox, new location. Got a big uh fence delivery coming in today. Looks like vinyl and chain link. Show you guys real quick.

[00:24:01]So, we poured the black top pad here.

[00:24:04]The uh fuel tanks are going to go right there. And then you can see over here, this is the black top pad where the temporary building's going to be going.

[00:24:18]So, we got to just saw cut out where all you see all these mounting plates. We got to saw cut all those areas out and do a 12inch concrete footing on each area. So, we're going to get that done this week. Morning, Dom. What's the good word? Anything?

[00:24:34]>> Uh, truck trailer is loaded. I don't know if I have time to make it there and back for your entire appointment.

[00:24:39]>> Yeah. Do check out. I got one. I don't know about time to do it. Have to go finish the pickup all at this connectivity.

[00:24:45]>> So, the couple things we got to get done this week. I got to look at the schedule this morning to see when we're not doing split crew days. You can do dumpsters. Y >> and then I would also want I'm going to pick a day we're not doing split crew days where Ben can do the log truck so you can focus on at least a do a whole day of loading chips. ZK Fence in the house.

[00:25:06]He acts like he's busy all the time. But he calls me up the other day. You know, it's it's go time for me. You know, 200 calls a day, six crude. I'm like, dude.

[00:25:16]He's like, why aren't you picking up your phone? I'm like, I'm busy. He's like, so am I. And I told him, "I do more by accident than you do on purpose in a day, buddy."

[00:25:28]>> You too.

[00:25:30]>> Yeah.

[00:25:30]>> What's going on?

[00:25:32]>> What's going on with you?

[00:25:34]>> Getting ready to start the day.

[00:25:35]>> Where are you going?

[00:25:37]>> Albany. Custom gate build.

[00:25:40]>> Custom gate build.

[00:25:42]>> Custom gate.

[00:25:43]>> Not Not just a gate build.

[00:25:45]>> Custom.

[00:25:46]>> A custom gate build.

[00:25:47]>> Custom.

[00:25:48]>> How custom is it? 52 and 12 in.

[00:25:52]>> Pretty custom.

[00:25:52]>> So it's just the opening that's custom.

[00:25:54]>> Yeah, that's it.

[00:25:57]>> Is it wood, cedar, aluminum?

[00:25:59]>> Cedar.

[00:26:00]>> Cedar.

[00:26:00]>> Yeah.

[00:26:01]>> Nice. Maybe maybe we'll stop by. Put ZK fence first job on debut of YouTube.

[00:26:08]>> Should definitely stop by here.

[00:26:13]>> He's trying to make himself look legit.

[00:26:15]He's got a pencil holder in his pants.

[00:26:17]>> See that? You know, >> convenience, >> convenience.

[00:26:24]>> All the bins are slowly but surely getting full. We got our black and brown mulch in that's all full. We got a bunch of the other bins all full for like the aggregates and everything like that.

[00:26:38]I think Friday we're going to it's going to be a big big move day on Friday. This is So, one of the things that we did here and and I'm done. I'm not doing it no more. Is that we would sell like layers of pavers to contractors and stuff like that. And what it does is it gives you an absolute disaster of a mess of open pallets. It's a it's a labor nightmare. It's an inventory nightmare.

[00:27:06]It sucks. I can't stand it. It cuts into your pro. I mean, so right now I got Saul here who's been here for three days trying to get this boneyard cleaned up.

[00:27:15]organizing pallets, saran wrapping them, all that crap. Long story short, I am done. You're buying a full pallet. After that, you deal with it. If I lose a customer, I don't care. I don't care cuz if you're not making money or you're making small margins, it's not worth it.

[00:27:33]So, Saul's going to get this all straightened up and cleaned up. He probably has a whole week taking care of this. What's up, Saul?

[00:27:42]>> No bueno, right?

[00:27:46]Yep.

[00:27:50]>> No bueno.

[00:27:53]>> Well, you're doing a good job.

[00:27:56]Keep up the good work. Eventually, the plan is to black top, you know, this entire side of the parking lot and inside all the bins. But we got just about every aggregate and top soil, concrete, sand, stone dust, 1A's crusher, riverstone, all that crap. Got it all here. Slowly coming together.

[00:28:18]Alberto's just about loaded with his material.

[00:28:23]We're going to head over to his job and uh get him going. And then we got to go do our rounds. Make sure everybody's good moving the alternator. We 100% diagnosed that the alternator's shot on the skid steer. So, that's got to get back to the garage. Ivan's got to fix that. He's got a busy day ahead of them.

[00:28:42]I don't know, man. Like, it's crazy. You know, before this property, you're like, "Oh, this property is huge." And we start setting up all the bins and everything. And, you know, once Sevenox is permanently here, mornings are going to be tight. It's going to be pretty tight. But I feel blessed to to just own a piece of property like this. We'll we'll make it all work. But there's a piece of property behind me that I really want to buy. The people that own it, they want me to buy the whole 18 acres. A bunch of its wetlands. They're asking too much money for it based on half of it being wetland. So, I'm going to see if I could buy that. That'll make all the difference in the world. So, Dominic said he didn't do that.

[00:29:26]Luis said he didn't do it.

[00:29:28]>> No.

[00:29:29]>> Yeah. I sent the picture to Chris. Luis was like, "Nope, no." So, Albert, this is Alberto's trailer.

[00:29:36]And >> you remember this last for fixing?

[00:29:41]>> Yeah.

[00:29:42]>> My brother.

[00:29:44]>> So, we put new F. I mean, it's going to happen. People got to fess up to it.

[00:29:48]They got to tell me, "Hey, I broke it. I did this." And most of the time they do.

[00:29:52]still investigating to see who actually did it. We've asked two of the people.

[00:29:57]They both said no. They would have told me if they did it. So, I just got to find out who did it and why they didn't tell me and then get it fixed because I don't want my stuff to look like this.

[00:30:07]It's got to be nice pristine equipment.

[00:30:10]Kind of like, you know, precision. You know, everything he has is goldplated.

[00:30:14]You know, if he could dip his whole truck in gold, he would. Freaking Italian crazy bastard. All the pavers you see here right now, this is all leftover inventory over the last 2 years. So all this stuff here is stuff that isn't really selling. We got it discounted pretty aggressively to get it out. But once all this stuff is out of here, it's going to give us a lot more space to work trucks in and out, parking stuff. So if you're a hardcaper in in the local area and you uh install Cambridge, hit us up. you know, we got some pretty aggressive deals. There's nobody selling Cambridge stuff cheaper than what we're selling right now. And you know, it's a lot of it's like it is nice, popular stuff, but like I said, everybody tends to go for the same crap, same color, same style. Just pulled up to Andrew's job. We're going to check out the progress and also try to figure out this property line situation. I have a feeling it's going to freaking hold the job up and she's going to have to get it reserveyed even though we're extremely confident the property line is where we're saying it is. She thought it went 5 ft over than what it does and it 100% does not. See how they're doing and then we'll take some measurements. Got to get this skid steer over to the shop at some point.

[00:31:37]Yeah. So, they basically have the whole first course down. They're already working on their second course.

[00:31:43]They'll start I mean this wall is going to start flying at this point. Looking good.

[00:32:11]Just pulled up to Chris's crew. It's been an insanely busy morning so far. We still got to go get Alberto going on his job. I just want to stop in, see the progress, see uh how things are looking, and they are carusing.

[00:32:27]So again, they're working on the raised patio right now and um the stairs that go down to the lower patio. There's going to be a big difference here by the end of the day. They are flying. Let these guys do their thing. Going to go out Alberto, get him going.

[00:33:03]You can see the sigma block sitting on the concrete pad. This is on about 10 in of number two stone. And then the stone is going to come up probably buried 3/4 of this base block.

[00:33:36]Heat. Heat.

[00:33:53]We just got to Alberto's crew. Thank God everything's local today. If I've had to do three stops, three different job sites. If these guys were scattered throughout the caliper region, I'd be freaking killing myself right now.

[00:34:08]Alberto, take a look here. I just sent you the picture for the measurements.

[00:34:14]So, off this side of the house, we're going 15 feet. Okay. And then there's a gate. I got to see if the homeowner wants to do the like just a post then the gate or they want to do like a little section and then the gate. So, let's measure 15 ft off of here.

[00:34:38]All right. So, here's their property line. When the customer gave me the measurements, he was off a little bit.

[00:34:44]So, it's 14 feet. It's not 15 feet. So, a couple inches on the inside of this.

[00:34:52]Okay. And then it's going back straight line. You're gonna have to trim this um pine tree, but it's going straight into that corner post or not. No, sorry, not into that [ __ ] Here's the other the other property marker. So, you're going to want to run a line from there all the way down with the fence, you know, an inch or two on the inside of the line. And then on this side, you're connecting into this post. Okay. This is the property marker over here.

[00:35:42]>> All right. So, we're well inside straight down.

[00:35:48]It's going to connect. So, you'll run a line from that post. Alberto, run a line and run it straight into this post. It's reconnecting into the house off of that post off of this post. So, you're going to have to trim this holly and this flower and Quinn shrub.

[00:36:08]It's going straight in there. No gate over here. So, you can start on that line while I find out how he wants to uh or where he wants to set that gate. This job, Alberto's using a six foot 6 by lattice top vinyl. Pretty straightforward job.

[00:36:35]>> Is that what's coming down now?

[00:36:37]>> Yeah, >> we've already two slightly smaller that we >> You should go see the aftermath of those down there.

[00:36:45]>> They were as tall. got a couple videos you might be able to include.

[00:36:51]>> I think it's bang.

[00:36:53]>> Why you look?

[00:36:55]>> I don't know, man.

[00:36:57]>> It's not really the one I wanted, but it worked.

[00:37:00]>> He's just testing it out for me. That's all.

[00:37:02]>> We'll test.

[00:37:06]Whoa. Stuck.

[00:37:09]>> Yeah. If you want to flip it around and then flip it around.

[00:37:13]Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[00:37:13]>> Chipper this way. Maybe put the mouse somewhere in here. The chipper mouse.

[00:37:18]And then that cuz I'm really shouldn't be picking any more than that.

[00:37:21]>> Yeah, you're not >> I can't get out this way.

[00:39:32]>> Yeah, that'll come right here.

[00:39:34]>> Send it.

[00:39:35]>> It's going to break that branch, but that's okay. It's dead anyway.

[00:45:38]Smooth, baby.

[00:45:40]the rest of this wood.

[00:45:46]Yeah, I'll scrap this.

[00:46:24]Tiny bit of wood. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:46:30]Yeah. It must have been a weird angle.

[00:46:52]Yeah, it's no bueno.

[00:48:48]Heat.

[00:49:20]All right.

[00:49:22]Perfect.

[00:49:37]All right.

[00:49:53]What was your capacity out there? Let's specifically.

[00:49:58]So maybe we should take I should get up there and do this in two.

[00:50:06]Okay.

[00:50:18]Heat.

[00:50:30]Heat.

[00:50:39]Yeah.

[00:50:58]Heat.

[00:51:03]Heat.

[00:51:14]Heat.

[00:51:41]That's brilliant, buddy. Nice job.

[00:51:50]Heat.

[00:52:01]Heat.

[00:52:20]Oh [ __ ] Heavy on.

[00:52:35]That's why it's just so [ __ ] important to have your body in a spot that is slightly protected, you know?

[00:53:18]Not too bad.

[00:53:37]really really I'm surprised actually Heat up here.

[00:54:39]All right. What I'm doing here is throwing a couple humbolts into this tree. This is a popppler specifically.

[00:54:46]It's a cottonwood.

[00:54:48]And in the springtime, um, they're pulling up so much water from the ground that the layer between the bark and the sapwood is the cambium. And the cambium has so much moisture in it.

[00:55:01]I've actually seen doing crane pickicss, will put a tension draw on these with the straps. And the bark will fracture and the cambium acts as a lubricant for this piece to slough off and then you can potentially lose a whole log. Uh it's pretty scary situation, especially when you're going over somebody's house.

[00:55:19]So, uh these humbles right here are going to act as channels for the chains, and you just need to get past the bark layer, cambium, and sap. You want to get into some real wood, and it uh just makes an unsure thing a little more sure.

[00:55:36]All right, let's get our strap or chains installed. Here is the end result.

[00:55:42]Both chains are buried, making contact with some good wood. Now we really have a hold on this piece.

[00:56:26]Yep.

[00:56:29]There goes which DOM's lift capacity. Heat.

[00:57:06]Heat.

[00:57:11]Heat.

[00:57:23]Heat.

[00:57:42]Heat.

[00:57:43]Heat.

[00:58:13]I'm out of gas.

[00:58:41]Y God.

[00:58:48]Yeah, you got it.

[00:59:17]So, it's been a stupidly busy day. It's hands down the busiest day I've had so far this year. And like, it's a good busy. And it's no surprise, too. I mean, he got six crews out every day. I um I'm going to make one more rounds at all the not all of them, but some of the job sites to make sure everything's going good. I just stopped at Alberto's job site. He's going to need a blank vinyl post on his job, which we typically don't keep those in stock. So, I got to call Quinn. I got to get that ordered. Tree crew crushed it again today. Crane is done. They are on their way back to the shop. Our bucket climb crew, they're still out. We're going to stop over there real quick just to see how they're doing. The crane crew yesterday did their normal schedule plus they did an extra $4,200 in add-on, which is phenomenal. They they crushed it. But things have been going really really well with the new, you know, format that we're using on our our tree schedule. But we're pulling up to the bucket climb crew right now.

[01:00:26]We're going to see how they're doing.

[01:00:28]Stop at a couple more job sites and that's going to complete today.

[01:00:33]My daughter's classroom is right across the street, like directly from where we're working. So, I bet you she's super excited to see seven ox working across the street from her school. Oh, they're waving.

[01:00:50]Yo, why you making Jose carry all the stuff? He said that's why you don't have any muscles, bro.

[01:00:58]>> We're shitty timing again, bro.

[01:01:01]>> Killing me, Ryan.

[01:01:04]>> This is ridiculous, dude.

[01:01:05]>> Yeah, it is. And unfortunately, when you're dealing with the volume of work that we're doing, you're going to run into this stuff, >> dude. Everything that he was telling me is like not on the content. I was just like, "Holy shit."

[01:01:18]>> Well, that's what I said. So, we're on a job right now. We our contracts are pretty thorough. The guy said we didn't do everything that we're supposed to be doing. We did, you know, just because our name and reputation is everything to us. We came back doing a little bit extra to keep him happy, but of course, he tried to get even more stuff added on. And but you got to draw the line somewhere. So, how much longer do you have here, you think?

[01:01:43]>> I think it's just this branch that goes over the house. Maybe a couple more 30 45 minutes.

[01:01:51]>> Your guys schedule other than that went really good.

[01:01:53]>> Yeah, really good. You flew by everything >> good.

[01:01:57]All right. I could see uh your hat has stayed on your head. Your hard hat.

[01:02:02]Yeah, >> that's good news.

[01:02:03]>> That is good news.

[01:02:04]>> You know what he did?

[01:02:07]I go to the job the other day and he had a chainsaw directly underneath directly underneath the tire. like literally wedged underneath it.

[01:02:16]>> I don't know.

[01:02:16]>> I don't know. Ryan Jose, what's up, Poppy?

[01:02:24]>> Yeah, >> where's your vest?

[01:02:27]>> No, your vest.

[01:02:28]>> Oh, I took over.

[01:02:30]>> Yeah, you forget.

[01:02:31]>> Yeah, I put it there.

[01:02:33]>> No, you put it now.

[01:02:41]So, this is their last job and they'll be done. Another super successful day with the tree team. Huh.

[01:02:49]>> 2:30.

[01:02:49]>> 2:30. Schedule's done. Quota met on both crews. I love it. It's going to be the last time I stop here for probably a couple days. I like to check out the progress and make sure everything is going as planned.

[01:03:11]Ola.

[01:03:13]>> That pad sucks, dude. It sucks. Sorry, but you'll see. I'm squaring off. That one bad like I have two feet at the one corner. Other corner. I'm off it.

[01:03:24]>> You hear that, Harry? Your c your your squaring needs serious freaking work.

[01:03:30]>> I don't know if he went by what Dominic did. No, he I saw him draw his own lines. Terrible. Terrible. Another 25% off. I'm basically Actually, you owe me money right now. He I think he got brain dam I know he got brain damage from the car. I mean, he was talking all crazy.

[01:03:48]Gelled his hair six times that day. He uh, you know, was late 17 times. You know, gave me multiple different time frames he was coming. You should look into that. Maybe a cat scan will uh give you some uh results you're looking for.

[01:04:04]Explain a lot there, Harry. We got the stairs going up. Filler block.

[01:04:11]Yeah, these stairs work way better. Way better than Is there really anything changing, Chris? Is it like going out a little bit more?

[01:04:19]>> Going that way? Probably another >> Is it going to add material?

[01:04:23]>> No, it's still We're still staying within 450. Yeah, >> that's one time I said we got to stay within 450.

[01:04:29]So like for inance, I just did that so we could bury the pipeline, the gas line, but it's going to go over like there is.

[01:04:36]>> So it's not going to be like a nice archway in front of it. No more.

[01:04:41]>> No, it's going to have like he wants it to go like on the sides to do like this.

[01:04:46]>> Yeah.

[01:04:48]>> columns and then a slight arch in between the columns and the back. So it's almost a rectang but with bulging sides like they had too much Thanksgiving dinner >> bulging >> is the piggy.

[01:05:01]>> So the when we got the dig out done >> for the job and it started to take shape the homeowners >> kind of weren't thrilled with the shape of it which is >> not super common but it happened. So Chris met with them yesterday and they kind of reshaped everything on how the job was going to be laid out, but Chris got it all figured out.

[01:05:24]>> Have you been back over to Andrew's job at all?

[01:05:27]>> Uh just to grab that transit, but other than that, no other.

[01:05:30]>> I'm going to head over there right now, check on him. Just pulled up to my nephew job, ZK Fence. I taught him everything he knows.

[01:05:41]Everything he knows. He will deny that, but it's 100% the case. Where's Zeff at?

[01:05:47]>> He's in the trailer.

[01:05:49]>> What we got going on here?

[01:05:51]>> Started a little uh front yard divider there. No more balls coming through onto the front yard.

[01:06:33]>> Nuclear strike.

[01:06:34]>> Yep.

[01:06:35]>> I don't know if you saw the picture in Ukraine, but there was like destruction everywhere. We shipped some fence there and uh our fence was still standing in the background.

[01:06:44]>> Still standing there.

[01:06:45]>> I put it in though.

[01:06:47]>> You did? You did?

[01:06:48]>> It was me.

[01:06:49]>> All right. So, you put a fence up in a war zone.

[01:06:51]>> I did.

[01:06:52]>> Nice.

[01:06:53]>> I was drafted for >> So, you should have this done like in no time.

[01:07:55]>> What was all banged up?

[01:07:56]>> Look at this section.

[01:08:01]>> Did you tell Quinn about it yet?

[01:08:03]>> No.

[01:08:03]>> You got to take pictures of it so I can get credited for it. All right, >> I will.

[01:08:10]>> You guys going >> Andrew's job around the corner. Just pulled up to Andrew's job. The saga continues on this freaking skid steer.

[01:08:20]We got the alternator. It came in.

[01:08:23]Andrew, we've been charging it all day to keep it running because Andrew really needs this on his job. Hivven's here right now.

[01:08:31]>> He's going to look and see if possibly he could do the alternator on site. See what you can do. If you can't do it, you can do it.

[01:08:37]>> Like I said, I'd rather do it the safe way, but if I can get my tiny little teenage girl arm hands in there, >> probably.

[01:08:45]>> Where is it?

[01:08:47]>> Right. Yeah, I see it.

[01:08:50]>> He goes, "Where is it?" Exactly.

[01:09:12]This is a man that used to make me climb trees without climbing you 20 years ago.

[01:09:18]>> Remember that?

[01:09:19]>> I was testing your commitment.

[01:09:20]>> That's that [ __ ] >> He passed the test.

[01:09:24]>> He passed the test. So, Andrew is moving on his job pretty good. They're uh back filling the footing block. We're bur We buried two blocks on this job. How many layers is it, Andrew?

[01:09:38]>> Four layers.

[01:09:40]>> Four.

[01:09:43]No, you already got four more.

[01:09:45]>> Yes, we did.

[01:09:46]>> Yeah. How many How many to total?

[01:09:50]>> Which is 10.

[01:09:51]>> 10 layers.

[01:09:52]>> 10 layers.

[01:09:53]>> Yeah.

[01:09:53]>> Yeah. We need to put eight layers. No, six layers.

[01:09:57]>> Yeah. So, they got they got >> six layers.

[01:09:59]>> Three layers done. It's 10 10 rows in total, 10 layers. But >> I would do at the bottom footing block, >> I would do three feet at the bottom.

[01:10:10]>> Yeah.

[01:10:10]>> And then we'll do some dirt. And then when we get to the top, we'll we'll probably go >> five >> 5T off the top. Yeah. We got all the dirt >> in the pile of Z. So we'll, you know, we'll take that >> and obviously so like do your first layer stone, get it up and then we can put some dirt stone dirt. You know what?

[01:10:31]I don't got it. I don't got it.

[01:10:33]>> I know.

[01:10:34]>> He knows.

[01:10:34]>> I know.

[01:10:35]>> He's been doing this for how many years?

[01:10:37]12 years.

[01:10:39]>> Yeah. Ivan's going to try to change the alternator, right? He wanted So the problem is he want wanted it to go to the garage. And I said Andrew needs it.

[01:10:48]So the plan was he was going to come in tomorrow at night. Mhm.

[01:10:52]>> and change it tomorrow night. But he's going to look at it right now and see what he could do.

[01:10:57]>> Hey, try one of these, bro. You might like it.

[01:11:03]>> He's empty.

[01:11:05]He's empty.
