Matthew - it's what I love to do - showing off the skills and crafts in every sector of the construction industry. That cab tilt is really practical - you see it quite bit in cranes too.

275 Queen St - it IS in the title

Demolitions are always a mixed bag of emotions - see our beautiful Causeway Bridge as an excellent example. The efficiency of the work is awesome, but the loss is almost palpable.

Stu - what an amazing memory to have. I'm delighted that you found this video. There's another featuring the Captain on the channel. Shout if you have trouble finding it - and have a wonderful 2025

Slow and steady wins the race - no prizes for rushing a demolition job and scattering material over a well trafficked area causing damage

Ja, tatsächlich / Yes, indeed

I'm really not sure - I believe that re-cycling is undertaken whenever possible. It makes economic sense besides any other factor. I will try and find out.

ROFL - well phrased, Gary

@@Aerosnapper Crack on!

Good to meet you too - nothing like striking while the iron is hot ! Not too hard to pull this one together - thanks for watching

Indeed it very likely will - but the accommodations will be considerably more comfortable and efficient

Well - that's good to hear, Scott - love watching professionals like this team at work.

Absolutely thrilled to hear from Armenia - every best wish from Canada. Thanks for taking a moment to comment.

Sorry you feel that way - I'm just providing an update on a construction project

There's also a new entrance to the mall going in on the SJAMB side

Don - it's one of the great things about Canada that you can choose where you get service. You may be correct about the illegal turns off Bath Road east-bound, but someone else has already pointed out that a new entrance to the mall might just reduce that risk. Thanks for following the progress of this project

Marc - thank you for recognising the challenge. Actually, it's a little easier than you might think (should I admit that ??). Some months ago, I selected a particular spot on the ground over which I hover the drone. Then, I take it to a particular height (drones are remarkably precise in their ability to position themselves and maintain a location and altitude. With these two factors under control, it's just a matter of aiming the camera in a particular direction (identified by an angle on a building) and depressing the gimbal to a precise angle. It's not a perfect system, but I can make minor adjustments for perfect placement in the video editing suite. Now, all my secrets are out there !

Thank you for understanding, Don

I understand - it's a constant struggle for me to find appropriate backing tracks. Without one, it's a very sterile video, but finding something that everyone can live with is really hard.

I agree completely. There's very little that can stop a determined Canadian construction crew. The secret lies in knowing when conditions make it just too dangerous to continue !

Ich habe es wirklich genossen, etwas über Basel und die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten zu erfahren. Canadian Tire ist eine nationale Institution und verkauft eine erstaunliche Auswahl an Produkten, nicht nur Eisenwaren. Vielleicht muss ich ein Video darüber machen. / I really enjoyed learning about Basel and the shopping opportunities. Canadian Tire is a national institution and sells an amazing array of products, not just hardware. I may have to make a video about that.

Andy - I would love to tell the story of Kingston Mills Locks, but Parks Canada, the administering agency do not permit drone flights over them. However, before that ban was instituted, I did make this video four years ago ruclips.net/video/UeVU5Ey45JI/видео.htmlsi=MZ4wMBo8FNbUQy1y

Bruce - I feel for you. I didn't know it, but you're by no means the only person who has told me that they miss it. Thanks for watching.

The mall was a much more lively place than it is now. The mall has been gone a long time now and this particular commercial development zone feels like its failed to live up to what it replaced.

Aaron - I'm not so sure about that, but I really appreciate you saying so - thank you

Thanks Mike - I do try.... Selecting the music is the hardest thing for me

Really pleased that you found it helpful. Thanks for taking a moment to provide some positive feedback

Providing an insight into the great work done by the crafts and trades is a really important ingredient of what I do. It's also important to document projects like this - history as it happens. If no one does so, there is no record to consult in the future. Thank you, Joy

Thanks so much - I have quite a selection of the same shot to allow a fuller picture of the process to be painted later.

I have heard nothing officially, but there is a report that it may become a fitness centre

I've heard this rumour as well, that it will potentially house the GoodLife fitness after the current location close for re-development

I'm not a huge CT fan, but love the iconic sign! Nice job, Mike!

@@DonJoyce thanks Don - this has been a big project

It certainly is - thanks for watching and commenting - all appreciated

I sympathise - but one drawback of drones is the fact that no ambient sound is recorded. Unless I can synchronise another source, music fills a void...

Praise from the master is always appreciated - thank you

Oh Scott - music selection is the hardest part of this whole process. I'm sure that not everyone will like it - but glad you did. Yes, this project is a long haul, but it will be so worthwhile - and it has not been without the odd unexpected challenge for a dedicated team

Yes, me too.

@@Aerosnapper If it helps I really appreciate the efforts you put into the music.

Cheers, Ray, I think... If they / you can keep working, I can certainly keep showing off the effort being put in to get this major improvement on line

@@Aerosnapperany updates on the status of the Wolf Islander IV?

That's really good to hear, Edward - thank you

David - I don't know of any specific flights around that area, but there are 107,000 drones over 250g flying in Canada - and likely at least as many smaller ones. They are a fairly common sight nowadays. Please let me know if the ones you see are causing any concern.

Ron - I can’t give you a definitive answer. Someone has commented that they are cycled through every four years. It’s also been suggested that they are removed for service on reaching a certain number of hours. Since there are four of them on this boat, it’s not surprising to see a change relatively regularly.

They certainly deserve a hot chocolate on a day like that.... Thank you for thinking of them

It is indeed - but it has been dogged by bad luck. When appropriate infrastructure is in place, she will defy all the critics

Thank you, Gary - I certainly love to see professionals at work. This team does great work despite the near constant criticism of the service provided by the Province from some quarters.

OMG - that's terrible news - I took that weight from a Caterpillar site. Please share the real weight and I'll pin it to the top of the comments and correct it in the description. These engines go through an awful lot of cycles - almost bomb-proof I'm told.

@@Aerosnapper you said 6,00 pds, that's correct. It can very depending on it's cooling system - but that's 3 tons not 6 🙂

@@CanandianPeriod thank you - reading more, the weight can be quite a range, depending on application.. nothing's straightforward.. much appreciated feedback

It is indeed. Just a shame that it's such a distance for me to cover.

Every time - but just a little chilly

Sorry about that Marc - I've asked around and someone suggested that it's possible to get around that by turning the volume down......

They do indeed, Chuck - especially when you're using the motion controller - someone should tell DJI that we need an 'Arctic Trigger'

@Aerosnapper yikes. Can't imagine. I flew Mavic 3 in MN in the cold once. Only once. 5 minutes in my fingers hurt... Had to bring her back and could barely fold it to put it away!

@@Kovaction If you can still touch your thumb to your pinky, you're still good to go.

@gingefpv interesting metric!
