I started this channel back in 2008 and recently decided to start posting more videos with my sons and I building different things, we have a team of people helping us upload and edit videos and they are currently working on some social media sites to help us get this channel up and running. We try our best to have a video uploaded every week, hope you enjoy. we want to deliver valuable information to the masonry and construction industry that it would take years of studying and college classes to learn the trade. We would like to help anyone who has a desire to learn the skills reach their fullest potential, so in these videos we'll be delivering tips and tricks it took years to learn. You will find the content of this channel clean and wholesome for children to watch, we do add upbeat music to help drown out the boring spots, we truly strive to give our viewers good clean entertainment while learning valuable trades. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch. Have a blessed day.
Things they need to update. Front door visibility. Push lift arms out away from cab door. Joysticks mounted to air seat . Radiator and coolers mounted up high for easier service.
Definitely not heavy weight 12s, these probably weigh less than the 8" block I lay. In S. FL. code will not allow the use of light weight blocks of any size. On a wall like this with lightweight 12s, I could lay 600 to 800 block a day (since as all masons know) 12s are easier to lay than 8s, they're just heavier. And with a setup like this where you are working in the shade all day, I could do it without breaking a sweat.
The mortar type and manufacturing company has nothing to do with it, respectfully, I’m seeing well slacked and well mixed mortar, Someone is doing it right over there, I’m jealous, that’s a far cry from what I see these days! I enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing
I'm not trying to be cynical. But wouldn't it be better to have your tracks running parallel with the trench so you can just back up a bit when you need to dig the next section? I'm a complete newbie to these machines so I'm keen to understand the reasons why people do what they do
I noticed there are two different versions. One with the kit and one without the kit. The saw that comes with the kit (shown in your video) has a smaller/shorter black battery cover. The one sold individually has a taller black battery cover. Seems like they were able to cut some costs with the kit version to offer the whole kit for an attractive price. Not sure which one i should get...
You are my #1 resource I turned to for learning to build my block wall, I did the wet set method, and the string lines between the H block with the nails and everything, I’m finally almost finished with my wall now and even after laying approx 350 feet of block I’m still amazed how much faster you are at it than I can be lol. Fun just looking back over these videos and seeing what else I can pick up on now that I have more experience doing it. Thank you again for these videos!
In EBAY I'm selling a "Battery Temperature Sensor for SMA Sunny Island SI 6048 NEW, never used" There are PDF link there to install this sensor correctly.
Cover the plywood with a tyvek or tarpaper, staple it on with a hammer tacker, then install a flashing at the top of the area desired to have stone so water never gets behind your stone, then lathe the wall with a 1/4 inch wire lathe, then buy some type s mortar mix at home depot Lowes, or a hardware store, then add water to it then mix it to a manageable slump the put the mortar on the back of clean stone and stick it to the wall, try and keep the joints consistently the same size, clean excess mortar off with a brush as the mortar starts to dry, in a nutshell that's the jist of it.
This may be a dumb ? But Are the post exactly 20’ apart from measuring inside post to post or are they slightly over 20’ to compensate for the hinges and space in center of gate?
You know there's gotta be a ball buster that says you put your lath on upside down. 🤣 Pockets (aka keys) up. Should be rough while running your hands down. 😉 Beautiful work guys! Thanks for the videos.
Just to help so professionally you should use pan head Galvanized 1 1/4 screws When screwing, you should not sink the screws and leave a quarter Inch roughly never make the mesh tight like your over stapling . Always do the cups up. If you use Staples again, you make sure it's not tight. So the mud can get behind the mesh . It's just the professional way of doing it. But you did a very good job.Its better and correct and will last long without cracking for all the viewers
The septic is on the end of the house, so we had to have slope from the far end, also the top of the tank is only about 3.5 feet below dirt grade so the trench is quite deep because of that.
I've used several different kinds over the years, but the Hitachi or matabo now, I think they bought Hitachi out, and makita seem to be about the best, haven't tried a matabo heard good things about those. Here's a link to the Hitachi/ matabo amzn.to/3xSVQnh Makita amzn.to/3UuO3EV Keep in mind the 1/2 inch crown gun is cheaper but the staples aren't as readily available.
Need to use "Quickrete 50lb Fast Setting Concrete Mix" for your inside fill next time and the S-type for the outside tuckpoint....The Fast Setting kicks off in about 20minutes its sturdy and sets up perfect for that type of building chimney work....!!!
@@SolidworksUnlimited Chimney and cricket turned out Great though !! People don't appreciate all the hard work that goes into something like this. Especially when we use the old building techniques...it'll last another 100 years !!!
The batteries are probably sulfated, top off the water and hit them with a strong 50-60 amp charge for a few days. Get them boiling/bubbling and then lower the amps to about 10-15 and let them charge for a week or so.
1:17. When I first started in construction, 14 years old or so, the older foreman would twirl me around like that in the big excavator bucket when the boss was away lol. Great memory for me. 30 years later I'm running my own job sites and I wonder if the boys do this when I leave site for a minute. lol
Perfect videos .. p1 and p2!! Very informative. I have these exact gates and maybe you said it and I missed it but wanted to know if you’re going to install an automatic opener and if so, which one do you recommend?
Didn't install openers, but I'd have to look into the reviews before I'd say the one I'd buy, but there's some pretty nice ones out there, just have to scout around.
