Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like RU-vid if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.

$75,000 for a triaxle dump truck to move my own dirt to and from jobsites . Figured out the truck by itself Made half the money back in the first 5 months of owning it. No more waiting on delivery truck or running twice as many loads in my smaller truck. Saves on fuel and can work when I want as late or early as I want. Also hiring it out to other guys in my winter downtime at $1,000 per day . Was scary in the beginning but so happy I took the gamble! Great video!

2000 NZD for a David White rotary laser level a good 20 years ago. I was setting out a split level house on a steep section with a dumpy level and a long stick clamped to a saw stool.... by myself. That level earned its keep on that job alone. I needed only one profile along the level top and one along the easiest sloping side and squared everything (poles) off with the level. I still have it, but recently bought a cheap 3/360 green laser level off Aliexpress to keep in my van for quick everyday use. I love that thing as well. Use it quite a bit.

Fun fact about rebar, I was talking to an engineer on my last job and he was saying to never go overkill with rebar in footings. It wasn’t a big issue with my footings but for one of the pads we had, we ran out of 1/2” rebar so had to use up what we had left for 5/8” for 4x4 grid pattern. He said using bigger rebar actually decreases the amount of deflection and can fail eventually over time because it’s too strong and it needs to deflect to take the weight. Blew my mind when I was talking to him, even drew me a diagram and everything to show me the difference in using rebar!

Taking the time to build it in your head before you start. When you can see it finished in your mind. Then reverse engineer it from the base. Newbies/apprentices often are not allowed to see plans ,and simply told yo carry this over here etc. To me ,a few minutes at the start of each day to discuss process and goals is a good way to inform and involve everyone. Hiding/withholding information is/was a very bad idea. It took to long for me to learn this unfortunately. A physical tool was the tracksaw,I thought it was a dumb idea. Finally bought the Makita on clearance for the 4 batteries it came with. I use the 'tablewsaw in a small box" constantly!

@nfi2nfi2 3 месяца назад

I bought a connector nailer (ppn gun) , while the gun wasn’t particularly expensive the nails are at least in Australia. a good 8x more per 1000’ than hand nails and very few people use them here vs hand nails so instantly material costs are higher but labour is saved. So rather than paying someone a wage they live off I’m paying a manufacturer. but I get to finish and achieve more profit because I charge in line with market value for the job, but spend on tools to save time and keep the edge over others in the industry and who doesn’t like new tools

Do you have a tool rental company near by? Home Depot or otherwise? You can always check if they have those types of tools available. HD will let you rent for 4 hours. Works great if I need a concrete mixer for small pour projects.

$3500 concrete dust extractor. Most guys, unless they own walk behind grinders and specialize in concrete cutting/ grinding/ coatings, use shop vacs or smaller units, the bigger machines are designed for the guys that grind all the time with big walk behinds. There is no comparison. Silica dust sucks, ive been sick from it before, and I refuse to expose anyone else by using substandard equipment. This pulls dust out from my smaller grinders, saws, and other tools. Leaves my jobs cleaner, cleans better when its used to clean floors before applying coatings, and is much much safer due to the efficiency of how it pulls dust out, and then manages the dust by bagging it without needing extra handling. If i rent a walk behind grinder or bigger machine for a job it can handle the extra load with no problem. Expensive to buy but it makes me so happy every time I use it.

Your rebar is placed incorrectly, dangerously. Please look at how to place rebar for strip footings. The longitudinal rebar you placed are secondary for temperature. You need to place rebar perpendicular to the wall direction above (shorter distance of the footing).

@AwesomeFramers 3 месяца назад

Nope, the rebar is placed correctly according to the plans and engineering.

@vitaliy401 3 месяца назад

@@AwesomeFramers I am a structural engineer. You placed temperature shrinkage rebar, they will serve zero structural purposes,. Sometimes we could lay them out like that for a grade beams but even then you would need many perpendicular rebars. Anyways, your foundation is too shallow and too wide to be considered a grade beam. Double check the drawings, if you did what the drawings tell you then find another engineer. Just trying to help you out.

@raimonddeieso7433 Месяц назад

Interesting, in Australia you would never get away with that footing the smallest footing I have ever seen approved is 60cm depth which generally means digging out the earth below pad level; second issue is the rebar is a minimum of two rebar bottom sitting on concrete block and two up top held together by bent form linkage wired together top rebar 15cm from the finish level and the minimum thick is 12mm deformed bars plus you have to lay a thick layer of plastic membrane in the trench before you lay any steam for moisture that concrete always such up giving you salt damp.
