    I have all those toys but it's still fun to watch someone else's thought process on how to organize the work and set up the job site, especially in time lapse without the unnecessary explanations you get with lots some vids. I like the use of the york rake for brush cleanup, not sure why I never thought to use it for that.

    Hello, I just discovered your channel and right off the bat I have to say how impressed I am with your skills and the can do attitude you take to every job. As your a young man, I think you have the skills and experience of years of work. I like the way you shoot your videos, well done. Easy to watch, keeps me interested. I spent a few hours watching a bunch of your videos. I liked the container home your building most of all. I spent some of my youth on a farm in southern Minnesota doing some of the things you show in your videos. Now I work with computers and have long since done any kind of that work. I miss it a great deal. Being outside, handling the dirt and getting projects like that completed. Once again, I am so impressed with your skills.

    I know a lot of ppl are criticising the way you cut or push down trees,granted none of them are the “recognised”way of falling timber,but you do it with caution and some thought about where it might fall,and how to redirect it,plus your quick-that helps.I think it’s like driving your car,there are recognised ways of driving,but everyone has their own little quirks that aren’t a recognised way of driving.
    Just as a side note have a look at August hunicke’s RUclips videos ,they too are awsome.
    Great work once again Andrew.

    This video in particular is where I noticed things *began to click* overall; i.e. less bull-in-a china-shop and more attention to detail. After finding your channel approx a month ago, I hand picked 30/40 videos, and watched [oldest to newest], until they were gone; then I put *all the rest* in "watch later" [oldest to newest]; it's how I noticed the above. Knowing what you've become relating to work, it was possible to see the positive changes start. I pray that the same things happen for you in the rest of your life as well, I truly do; b/c you could have an impact. At 62 *I've had the t-shirts* you know; anyway glad you're visibly improving; *well done.*

    You could have used some of those trees for a retaining wall behind the deck. Go 10' or so back from the deck and drill some holes with an auger and plant some pieces about 3-4' down, and up to 4' above ground. Use long lengths 10-15' laying down between posts. Bark needs to be stripped for pieces underground. If you can, spray or wrap against water.

    will be interesting to see the Little house property in a yr or two with what happens next, does the house actually get it's addition? will the Garage ever be built?? wait and see...Have the laugh at some of the way Andrew loads his trucks...I would be worried on a rainy day with heavy rain that a lot of this hillside in the back of the home would v come down and ruin the deck, just saying the first thing I would be looking at is location and where the foundation of the home was going to be in reference to where the hill is located...thinking foundation issues later on, and making sure that foundation is sturdy and completely waterproof to any type of possible flooding or later cracking of the foundation..

      @KILAPH24471 4 года назад

      I just assumed he took the saw to the wild-ends and trimmed them a bit before heading down the road. A DOT Trooper w his fining-capacity could ruin the profit on that job. Not to mention the safety-factor of haulin' wild-ends down the open highway. I love AC but as the owner of a GC firm I do worry once in a while. He's terrific however. BTW...Knitting that strong-cutback-grade w some kinda vegetation wouldn't hurt for erosion control. I assume the owner can handle that. In Penna we would use "Crown Vetch"..or similar....

    Just a little advice you should watch a few of those cuts , one day you may not be as lucky and get that twist and kick back that you don't want. But do you ever use any wedges, they would work great on some of those trees . But I do truly enjoy the vids , We can see your a hard worker.Keep it up!

    Very tall straight trees, lumber makers must love you. We used a log skidder that articulated in the middle, had a small blade for helping itself more than anything but it had grapples on the back and it grabbed the logs similar to your skid steer bucket and would wiggle between trees to a landing for trim and sort then haul. You kinda fit the description of a logger. No offence, and did you ever consider Hydroseeding?? A wedge and a jack in the truck for short trees that just don't want to fall with what top they have left to help the tipping process. We carried plastic wedges in side pocket or otherwise when we got in truck to eat or go home and forget the wedge or file and seat would pay. Plastic wedges don't hurt chain if you nick it. Great video

    • @markbonham3477
      @markbonham3477 6 лет назад

      That was my thoughts as well as a friend of mine was a tree trimmer here in SoCal and he was making $2000 to 3500 a day with big truck, 2 climbers, one laborer, chipper and a stump grinder. As good as Andrew is finding and fixing equipment he could get one next to nothing and put 4 hours and a few hundred bucks and have him a nice chipper.

    • @jerry4012
      @jerry4012 6 лет назад +2

      its safer to cut a notch in the direction you want the tree to fall and then on the other side do a straight cut towards that notch and put a wedge in that cut. prevents widowmakers.

    • @KM7462
      @KM7462 6 лет назад +3

As a sole operation we can become over confident and laxed in safety, don't mean to be that guy but it's not if it's when shag. Health,n safety has gone crazy now days no doubt about that but if you continue working round felling trees and are not even willing to wear chapps or protection. Runnin to and from digga list goes on your gonna hurt or kill someone stop pushin ua luck bro, Wana se ua enjoy fruits of ua labour,

    I am looking to add a thumb to my backhoe. Could you please recommend a brand? Mid quality.

      I'm not sure what brand. Just make sure the thumb is the same length as the bucket.
