Im a drywall finisher. 27 years. Level 5 is skimming all the drywall complete. But this guy did a level 7. Damm he is a legend.👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣🤣😭😭. That line took me out.☠☠☠
I worked at a pizza place, when I was new a pizza came out of the oven that was too big for the box. And they sent me in the back to get a "box stretcher". My hearing isn't too good so.. I spent like 3 seconds looking for that box stretcher before I thought about it and realized they were being assholes, lol.
When he orders concrete it shows up on time had me laughing my ass off. I got 4 trucks last year show up at 430pm for a 11am pour. We were finishing until 930pm
My bro did some truck driving. Asked to deliver at 8.30. yard was supposed to open at 8 am for collection. Instead an accident happened on the first load. took long enough to examine the incident and then clean It up he loaded at 10.30 delivered at 11. Recipient was on the phone asking for an update every 20 minutes while he had to sit in queue and wait behind two other truckers who got there before him. He got in queue at 7 so he'd be one of the first to load.
I can't believe it's free and you would have to have it in writing with drawings so they couldn’t use that as a reason not to pay the bill and fight a property lien. So many shady people out in the world anymore.

As an 18 year old apprentice I should have known better but the journeymen seemed so serious when they sent my for a beam stretcher and a no. 4 sky hook. I cam back 20 minutes later wrapped in hoist chain, come-a-long and a mess of clevises. They laughed and said " drop that shit you done good. You're the 1st new guy that ever came back with anyrhing!"
I love and respect all laborers that take pride in their work. It’s not just about laying concrete level. Your customers pay attention to little details. ❤❤
Wow, as a plumber! I can honestly tell you that every time I see work of art with concrete and mason art work, I regret not getting into it myself because honestly it is the best profession to admire the beauty of it
@@twocentproductions5326 lol you ever been to america? we do it all buddy. no religeons or culture needed the greek,roman,aztecs and asians all we learnes from...italians arent known for masonry around here. the free masons, anything ring a bell lol
The “board stretcher” had me chuckling. I was 15 when I started hanging drywall, and on the first day I was told to go to the truck and grab a board stretcher; my intuition kicked in, but only right after I walked outside and remembered my dad asking me to grab a bottle of “elbow grease” years before. I immediately walked back inside and the two other guys in our crew were busting a gut.
Now as a contractor and one that knows his craft I have 11 years experience in the field and 15 years doing that kind of work that man did a phenomenal job. I have not seen anyone do it like he just dead job well done keep doing your thing. 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Except the big bird bath he made stepping out in the pour and not getting shovel full of mud to fill it in. U cant just take a pole float and hit it over and over and over and over and push wet cream to fill that hole. Your just creating a bigger low area.
@@jackharrington3711when he stepped into the already full pour where do you think the concrete went? He didn't remove any mud by stepping in, just moved it around, and used the float to push it back... No aggregate was removed by him stepping in...
@@timothinking9855 When u step into concrete like that it packs. I been pouring concrete for living over 30 yrs. Ask any true concrete finisher if u step in concrete can u just muddle that hole back flat.
@@NigelTolleyto be fair you’re speaking of a brain surgeon. A highly specialized PHD. Most PhDs have a medical version of google they use to look things up and diagnose people, some are so terrible that they have to be pay out to patients due to giving the wrong advice. It’s also a rule of thumb to go to multiple doctors for the same issue to make sure what you have been diagnosed with can be cross checked. So… with that, I would say he has more USEFUL knowledge than most PhDs. Too much info for them to retain to know everything and unless you do ONE thing like a neurosurgeon which isn’t even widely applicable, you would need to source information.
Bro that sounds like me when I poured and finished concrete for 20 years. I have ocd and everything had to be perfect. I went behind everybody including my boss. He always said I was going to fire him. I said I can’t fire the one with the man that pays me.
I don’t think people understand that first joke hit so hard For people who don’t know Your first day on the job in Construction you’re gonna wonder what it is you’re supposed to be doing So you’re gonna go ask somebody what should I do? It’s my first day on the job And they’re going to send you to go find something that sounds ridiculous and does not exist. But it’s gonna sound like it’s a real tool A board stretcher is not a real tool So the fact that he came back with one Is hilarious, and it’s on some Chuck Norris level
I claim to be no expert in anything, but have worked in every home construction set. This guy has next level spatial awareness and a great eye. The finished product only shows his experience beyond his gifts.
I've done concrete for 18 years and I can confirm this guy has seriously good skills. I know it's sped up a little, but this type of finishing takes a long time to be good at. Just knowing the right time to brush is a skill, nevermind doing a perfect circle.
Mages have a hard time being stealthy, but it's honestly hilarious in concept. Sure the other two styles have their own humor, bandits getting plugged with arrows only to brush it and all their dead, arrow riddled, friends off, and you’re at the top of a tower, keeping watch, look down to see all your allies walking about only to turn around and seeing a screaming nutcase that somehow didn't raise the alarm swinging a battle axe at you. But what about it just being a calm and peaceful day when suddenly everyone starts attacking each other, there's dremora in the middle of camp and everything starts exploding? The only problem with a stealth mage is that the perks and spells to make it happen are better used with the stealth archer. Sneak into an area, quite cast a bound bow or dagger, sneak kill several targets, and muffle and invisiblity to get out of situations when you don't have the "press crouch to give hostiles amnesia" perk. Meanwhile, my only problem with stealth archery is the numerous times world geometry has killed a shot. Can't shoot down a staircase despite having a clear line of sight because the arrow will bounce off the air. Try to kill a Falmer way off in the distance that is on a slight rise from you? Sure, go right ahead, we'll even give you the arrow kill cam because this will be a one shot. Oops, did the ground change how fast it was sloping, causing there to be a bump in the ground? Guess that must mean the arrow actually hit the ground halfway to the mark! Bet that was a fluke. Lucky the target hasn't moved, try again! Oooo, a kill cam shot. I bet this will be the one t- NOPE! ARROW IN THE GROUND AGAIN! HA! (while the game is laughing at its own "epic prank" I shoot a thrid arrow at the Falmer that still hasn't moved, game doesn't force a kill cam, and the arrow downs the Falmer instantly ... ... ...
He once shook his own hand just to see what the whole fuss was about
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂 love it
hahhshsh
Wow that’s good 🤣😭
He wasn't impressed by his own handshake
He doesn’t always drink beer, but when he does , he prefers WD-40
🤘
😂
amen
I’m sorry I’m gonna be that guy, but why would he prefer to drink WD-40? 😂

Im a drywall finisher. 27 years. Level 5 is skimming all the drywall complete. But this guy did a level 7. Damm he is a legend.👍🏻👍🏻🤣🤣🤣😭😭. That line took me out.☠☠☠
😁🤘
i was wondering about the levels 😅
My favorite was the opening. “When he was sent for a board-stretcher, he came back WITH one.” He was the FNG that was killing it since day one.
The board stretcher, HE CAME BACK WITH ONE!! 😂😂😂😂😂
😁
Had me with board stretcher
The fact that he went and looked for a board stretcher tells me everything about that guy
That means he can also find a brick stretcher 😅😅
I worked at a pizza place, when I was new a pizza came out of the oven that was too big for the box. And they sent me in the back to get a "box stretcher".
My hearing isn't too good so.. I spent like 3 seconds looking for that box stretcher before I thought about it and realized they were being assholes, lol.
His concrete trowels it’s self 😂
🤘
Hell yea!!
Trowel has a riser in the middle 🤣
*itself
Lol
When he orders concrete it shows up on time had me laughing my ass off. I got 4 trucks last year show up at 430pm for a 11am pour. We were finishing until 930pm
It's even better when they show up late with a hot mix that just want to goes off, and a yard short of what you ordered.
That's bullshit coming at 4 you should be first the next morning
My bro did some truck driving. Asked to deliver at 8.30. yard was supposed to open at 8 am for collection. Instead an accident happened on the first load. took long enough to examine the incident and then clean It up he loaded at 10.30 delivered at 11.

Lol you're a better man than me I wouldn't have been there at 4:30.
Right! I had a 9 am pour last month show up at 4pm WITHOUT AIR 😅 that was a fun day
As a person who works with his hands, I love to see people who take pride in ther work.
*Their
I would hope they do it is their work
It's sad that people who work with their feet will never know the feeling.
I like seeing people.
@@punawelewele very sad indeed. Foot workers have one of the highest suicide rates of all the limb workers.
I enjoyed this short more than I can reasonably justify lol. This has no business being as entertaining as I found it. Keep it up haha

I work in the fish market a while back and they sent me for the cooler stretcher. lol 😅
Love the whole concept great work it looked beautiful.
Board Stretcher had me rolling LMAO

And the left handed smoke wrench?
And the sky hook
And 2 cans of striped paint.

For people who don’t know
Your first day on the job in Construction you’re gonna wonder what it is you’re supposed to be doing
So you’re gonna go ask somebody what should I do? It’s my first day on the job
And they’re going to send you to go find something that sounds ridiculous and does not exist.
But it’s gonna sound like it’s a real tool
A board stretcher is not a real tool
So the fact that he came back with one
Is hilarious, and it’s on some Chuck Norris level
