I like watching you do this stuff, but an occasional few clips of the finished project would be nice. To see your project finished properly, not just works in progress.
@JuneBaker. He shows many projects completed and sometimes video of before and after. Still others he does drone coverage for a birds eye view. Then let’s not overlook the times he goes back to jobs for a new project. You have to pay attention, and be willing to go through older videos but the content is there.
If the windshield frame was bent out of square, it likely put a strain on the glass and made it subject to cracking. Once it cracked it might have become easier to reposition the frame.
Nice video. Thanks. It always bothers me that good wood is burned in the open when it would seem better to open the piles to the people who need wood for their wood stoves.
@@namtran-pe6sc, Yeah, a few people ruin it for all. One rotten apple spoils the barrel. In part i blame some lawyers. But in the end politics is violence and it facilitates such suits. Manmade political government is the bane and pain of mankind; it is not Christian; it is Satan's rot. Voting is an act of violence as it sanctions politicians to use force against those who have done no harm.
I appreciate your keeping the youtube audience involved in your strategy, always better results than say that previous crew that ran off. Good job Chris
I had a customer tell me a story abbot another contractor one time and I asked who it was and it turns out I knew the other contractor. I talked to him a few weeks later and he told me the owner tried to screw him out of some money. This is why I never talk about other contractors online. You might not know the whole story.
We 've been called out to barn fires here in WI. to pull apart hay and straw for the fire dept. and have lost 2 windshields to do the extreme heat. It happens.
It’s good that call you to clean up somebody else’s mess you are quick and when it’s done it looks good too all your jobs I’ve seen you as what i was taught to be is neat,clean,and systematic when you are done it’s done and looks great every time 👍 2:05pm NY 😎🇺🇸
The excavator has a torsion issue when the windshield cracks. I suggest to check the cab suspension for faulty parts. They use tempered glass. A security feature.
Not good to take her money and not finish the job. Your word should be the bond in all things. Enjoy watching Chris and if I hit the jack pot would have lots of work to do. God bless.
I'm discovering your channel thru this video. Why burning ? Don't you need energy fm wood materials ? I'm also follower of "Andrew Camarata" channel. Sometimes for sawmill, sometimes burning !! Be "preppers" ! Fm France old man.
A few old truck tires with a splash of diesel will burn hot enuf to get wet wood wood piles burning. We had old cottonwood and scrub oak bulldozed into heaps.
And up the dry stuff goes in a blaze of glory. Were you nice to the lady who got taken by the previous contractor? My guess is yes. Thanks for the video.
Oh , The Rain is coming your way if it hasn't already !!! sure it has by now though, it's been raining Fckn buckets here in W. Ky. for a week and just moved east yesterday...So , I would say you guys are gonna be really covered up , real quick this week!! Be safe out there !!! Have a Great Evening .....
Had the same thing happen to me We tried to burn ours a time or two. Finally hired a guy to restock it and burn it. First thing he said was dirt don’t burn.
Sometimes you just need to do a job yourself. I know you need the help but you are so good at what you do and you probably wouldn’t have busted your window
I'm glad things are starting to come together(wiper and windshield release, lack of rain) your starting to be a little grouchy SNAP OUT OF IT MAN and Keep Diggin😎
I would like to see a video of Tim telling you about the window. I bet he saw your truck coming and started sweating. Not from the heat of the fire either.
You fixed the windshield with a common Engineering & Maintenance Technique... You used the Percussive Maintenance Technique (AKA If it don't work, BEAT THE HELL OUT OF IT)...
Chris it seems like you have the darndest luck when it comes to rain when you need it you can't get it when you don't need it it's always there I feel for you and your work also I'm glad you got your windshield and wiper fixed amazing what a little Ingenuity you can do huh
When I burn i burn in two long thin piles, burning the small debris then combining all the larger debris once its burned down. This creates less smoke and less anger from neighbors
Glass is a bad conductor for heat, but once it gets hot, it retains heat for a long time. Now, the outside of the glass was hot from the fire, but the inside of the glass was cooler from the cooler air inside the cab. That creates thermal tension within the glass panel and even a light deformation or mechanical stress can cause it to crack more easily.
Yes, the excavator is not the proper machine for feeding a big fire. The glass will absorb plenty of heat and will start cracking. A heat shield in front of it would be good.
@@rrdm6085 Regular excavators are not fire-proof. The hydraulic lines will melt and burst, bearings in the boom and bucket parts will lose their lubrication and fail, the operator is in real danger of getting burnt etc. If an excavator is to be used here, then it must be rigged properly with heat shields in the boom and for the operator. Air cooling with a big fan is a minimum forcing air to the boom structures. The cabin windows should have thermal shielding laminations. Overheating alarms should be installed at various points in the machine to avoid burning the machine.
@@henrikstenlund5385 Yes, I am aware, thank you. I thought perhaps you were going to say something like a *Bulldozer* with heat shields; e.g., "We watched the Texas crew maneuvering a bulldozer covered with a heat shield; they sprayed heavy doses of water on the fires and on the vehicle so that they could continue to use it. The driver of the bulldozer used a mechanical arm to maneuver a pipe on top of the flames forcing them to rise higher into the atmosphere in a column of red. Then they would plug the pipe and thereby extinguish the fire." adst.org/2016/04/towering-infernos-the-kuwait-oil-fires/
@@rrdm6085 Yes, fighting fire is more requiring since it is an intensive job. Burning wood piles is more controlled and should stay as such. Water sprays can be used but the consumption of water will be huge. Also, the water should be drained back along the boom, not into fire.
My cousins drove a heavy crane as a labour uioion for up until he retired. I remember him coming over with his earth mover to different family member's made life a whole lot easier than having to move it with pick and shuvol it would have taken for days was a matter of a day.
The biggest thing I do wrong when I hire someone is feeling sorry for them when they tell me the sob stories. I trust people too much and pay them in full before they finish the project. The next thing they do is pick up and leave town. It will not ever happen again. What is wrong with people? I try to do the right thing and help people that need help.
The fun goes away pretty quick. The sense of accomplishment in a job well done replaces any loss of the fun. Kinda like the change of your view on life when we are children (everything is fun, no real consequences) as opposed to being an adult (yes you can do what you want, there are consequences)
Would a chipper or a large grinding tub take care of this quicker or better and provide more nutrients for the soil. Also in some areas people really need firewood for the cold Winters. Couldn't alness fuel be used to run a boiler and produce power somewhere.
Where i live burning to get rid of wood is illegal because of the enviroment. Unless there are wild fire warnings you can have bon fires. Thing is burning is actually less harmful than decomposing. Decomposing releases methane to the atmosphere.
How come you don't have a fan blowing on burn pile? When I was a kid, my dad had a gas engine with a small propeller. That thing gave the burn pile a ton of air and would burn with very little smoke. It also had a small pump that would spray a mist of diesel fuel in front of the propeller if the pile needed a little boost to get it to burn real hot.
Wonder why they didn't finish the job? Looked easy enough to me. Some folks just won't do what they say they will do. That is why I never pay anyone till I am satisfied with the result. Do what you say and get paid. Do it really well and you might get a little extra. Does your insurance cover such things as broken windows? I am not surprised. With all the violent shaking and vibration that goes on I can see it happening.
Dirt bags and scam artists are everywhere unfortunately and usually it's the elderly that get taken, and they need their money the most. Maybe the heat cracked the window ?
Been checking out your videos and I like your work man you run your machine nice and smooth. Not a lot of clanging and banging. I like that. Nice work keep up the great videos man
I hate people that do that to older ladies, when i was a teenager my dad and us boys were contracted to deliver a few cords of firewood, the pickup could carry half a cord, she said here you go after we delivered two loads... Dad said we are not done there are two more loads to go. she was told by the other idiots that a cord fit into one pick up load, What a crock
I deliver cordwood in a 5 ton military dump truck and barely get 1.5 cords in it while the part-timers use their 1/2 ton pick up & swear it's a"full cord" !! Lol
lol there was an old cartoon where the maintenance guy said, "It's a problem with the software." "What do we do?" (Pulls out hammer) "Apply a little hardware!"
No fun laying here tonight in this hospital bed just had total knee replacement surgery today at 10 or 9:30 a.m. hopefully I'll get to go home Tuesday morning I'll let you know thank you bye
Everybody has to make a mistake in order to become proficient. I am sure Timmy can learn from that, and apply that knowledge later. I must wonder how much it will cost to replace a window to an excavator, though.
Yea i had a contractor take me for 8g on a roofing project all i could do was get a judgment because he has nothing in is name,guess he felt good stealing from a disabled vet and a wife that was ready to retire because we got a loan to pay him,they say its a civil matter so I couldn't have him arrested
Is it hard to do? I remember growing up mixing gas and oil, getting a burn permit from the fire department, pouring that mix all over the pile, about as big as the ones on this video, and then running a line to light that mother! Never anything left.
One thing ive learnt over 22yrs in business about tradesmen that leave jobs is that theres always 2 sides to every story, and most of the time its the clients fault
