I was asked to come in and try to get this frame over the line before the inspector came. We had 4 hours to get as much work done as possible, and the more we got done, the more we found we had to do.
Parapets not being done, no biggy, X-brace not being done, no biggy, Dynabots not being done, no biggy... Possy installed on floating ribbon plate.. oh fuck.. Possie installed before right angle steel bracket.. oh fuck.. bolts with no nuts (even if there was no washers!) Oh fuuuuck! Hats off to you blokes for staying cool and staying on site. Seems like the boys coming before you were either under the pump big time or are just a little inexperienced. Either way! No fun having to pick up the scraps.
The more I watch your videos, the more it makes me nervous about starting an apprenticeship, your ability to just diagnose a job by looking at it is incredible. You’re a fantastic carpenter mate.
@@Jason9110110 Dont be nervous just be keen to learn. It doesn't take long to see who is pro active at their job and ownership of their quality of their workmanship. Do some pre apprenticeships tafe courses to see if its right for you and you can do some networking to find a good builder to get a job with. Taking the next step after finishing school is hard but you will adjust quickly and you will make great friends and learn so much.
It's all exposure mate, once you've been around frames for a while you start to pick up stuff that doesn't look quite right. Already making moves in the right direction watching videos like this. Just jump two feet in you'll pick it up quick enough!
just started 3 weeks ago. I was so nervous. But they do understand that you most likely dont have any experience yet, so dont worry, you'll be good. Its all a mental game at first, when you f-up and stuff, u gotta own it, and make sure you and they know u've learned from it. alll they expect u to do is: Be on time, listen and do your best
Just know the quality and scope of the jobs you do as an apprentice will condition you for when you're qualified. The time spent with cowboys or small guys won't set you up for success. Go with a reputable business or individual because it's very difficult to re learn when you're your own boss. Done right it's enjoyable, done to shit is super stressful unless you're a compulsive liar then it fine. Businesses go broke all the time, you don't want to spend your time with people who fail. Given that if you aren't one for uni and office jobs the traids are where it's at and you'll have successful life. Last thing is to think how far career development can go with that traid. Obviously an electrician has further opportunities than a painter so I'd look at something that can be built upon and lead into a legit career when your 50. Realestate for carpenters. Mines/ ships/ civil/ commercial for electricians. Painting houses in your home town as a painter for 40 years. Some traids get you further than others so think ahead for what you want in life.
Man, in all my youtube years I've never been one to subscribe, but you seem like a good and knowledgeable guy so I hit that subscribe button out of appreciation for you and your videos. Also because of the way you treat people.
Im remembering how screwd carpentry is watching this, i almost forgot a few months off the jobsite lol. I couldnt sleep at night after dealing with this stuff and i was only labouring 😂
First off, why did they book an inspection when the frame is clearly a week away, Are these builders qualified or cowboys? that second floor should never of gone up when ground floor is less than half arse erected. I hope they watch your video's and are ashamed of them selves, that kind of workmanship is enough to get you booted off site and black listed. You need to come to nz and work or north America then you know bout working in cold hahahaha, very hard to get going when temp low and everything feels like it going to fall off.
