I agree I don't understand way him and his friend don't team up Quit and don't become partners together I think between the 2 of them they would be very successful
I cried a little when I seen Blue in the condition it's in. That truck was the reason I watched both of y'alls channels. I stayed for the epic excavator work!! lol
"What ever works ,you use what you've got " that's a good saying and a lot of people would benefit listening to it . Instead they go and get into debt to have the latest thing or throw away something that could have been fixed, you can't always go and buy things off the shelf. Thanks for the great video mate cheers from down under.
Good looking garage.. ever think about adding a lean to on the garage, maybe to shade some stuff from elements? Good idea for the storage container as well.
D6 is just a good all around dozer. You don't need a lowboy to tote it. Saves you tens of thousands of dollars to haul those big machines. A D6 is good size.
Great video fellas. Dammit man Charlie has 1 bad ass shop. I'd give anything to have that. Well an be able to afford mechanic,tools an that power bill lol
Comrade Charlie went wrong with the water heater. You see garages have the same chemical make up as blue jeans and everyone knows that hot water shrinks blue jeans. I bet that garage was big enough when he laid it out on paper... as soon as he turned that heater on tho it was all down hill. thanks for sharing comrade bigdeal18 DRINK MORE VODKAS!!
thats great, i bet ol'Charlie is thinking about building a Fallout shelter soon, it shouldnt be to difficult with a few shipping containers and his equipment, heck he could build some 12ft above ground with 10ft dirt on top if'n he like to, haha
Charlie seems to have a plan for everything, I don't think anything would have moved his storm shelter, glad you all were not affected too much by Florence, how well are you after Michael ?
Charlie is a great barder. It doesn't need anything and its payed for. I think you need to over insurance your belongings in you live in Hurricane county because they double your deductible and to replace or rebuild a house after a storm is going to cost more. Property values here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast doubled after Hurricane Katrina, and so did construction cost. My house pre Katrina cost 160k to build after Katrina it was worth 280k 4 years ago it was worth 185k now it is currently worth 220K.
My house here in South Florida is good for 175-225mph winds, Palm Beach County. (win code 6) I pushed it up to (win code 8) of which is Miami Dade county requirement for all new homes built after 2002. I'm also 8 miles inland from the east coast.
Awesome idea on the ‘shelter’.You really do need to be able to shut the door or you and yours would be sucked right out. I would suggest a couple of those ‘J’ brackets with a 2x4 or 1/4” thick steel bar across and a sledge hammer kept inside in case the 125mph wind twisted the end of the box got twisted and you couldn’t get out. Throw an old couch in there. Also cut some side vents, two each side. Combine your setup and these additions and I’d put money on you surviving. Just sayin’. I sure hope this Michael deal didn’t drown you as , between the two of you , you are a good entertaining pair.
I have two jib cranes and they are worth ever $$$ I paid for them. The pit is very smart too. For oil service... anything that involves under-work. Building codes in some counties are very hard on pits. OSHA hates them thanks to vapor issues, etc. Explosion proofs lights, etc. Shout to Ace-Avant too.
"Be Prepared." The Boy Scout Motto has it right. Hurricanes: the wind is bad enough but the wind send flying projectiles that sometime penetrate walls. I'd favor an underground shelter . . . on high ground. But out here in California we mostly have those pesky earthquakes.
Those make a good shelter I was thinking pile dirt on the two sides of it you need a door that opens inward in case something lands in front of it you won't be able to get out and take a chainsaw in with you in case you have to cut your way out
suggestion for your friend..... solar pv panel the entire roof of his shop + install as much li-ion batteries he can get for capacity..... if hwe checks Handdmann on youtube; how he buys telsa electric car battery packs/used opposed to buying commecial li-ion batteries... go take a look. you might be interested, too... the guy built a trailee-mounted solar pv panel box w/ batteries, solar controller, sine wave inverters... great for providing power in remote locations charges by solar power...
if you have some steel banding or stainless steel banding.. you can put 2 around the top of your home walls and a few from that over the roof.. stainless steel banding will last longer. it will really hold things together.. you can if you have friends do do power poles.. put in some power line anchors.. around your home and banding up and over the roof.. same with your shop roof.. holding it down in big winds.. even if its fugley.. it takes the big hydraulic power of the power pole install trucks to put them in.. don't forget to put at least 1 by the propane tank.. forward thinking. as for shop AC power bill.. i wonder if it would be cheaper to scrounge a diesel gen set. that is not too much oversized for the shop ac unit.. to run that instead of line power.. just use a transfer switch on the AC power circuit..
A buddys shop had a pit outside and we would just drain oil into the pit till it was too deep for rubber boots then light it a flame. All the oil would burn off in a day or two.
Why don’t ya all build a storm shelter in the ground made out of cement? I’m from Winnebago, IL and we have basements to escape from tornadoes, I never understood why so many people that live in areas where there are a lot of tornadoes don’t have storm shelters. If I ever move to the south, that’s my first project. I know some areas in TN have cinder blocks for basements and those can blow over during high winds, I just do not understand why why they don’t set up forms and pour cement for walls; it sure is not the water table, we blast rock to be removed if a basement is to be poured in rocky areas. Just curious to know, is all North Carolina close to sea level?
When you use your cell phone for video, please hold your phone the same way your wide screen TV sits...horizontal. That way we get wide screen instead of tall & skinny video. Thanks.
