    My HS Class just had its 45th Reunion. I couldn't be there, cause I'm in a different country and my wife, of 41 1/2 years, has been fighting Cancer since Dec 2021. They sent photos ❤😂❤!!! I guess what I'm trying to say is, You Inspire Me. Thank You...

    So good to see a new project, by my favourite RUclips builder brothers, and the A-Team. I helped a builder friend dig footings in an addition to a 200 year old house in Maidenhead, UK. The footings had to be 3 feet deep and 2 feet across, easy so I thought. The length was 36 feet and the ground was wet as it was raining on and off. The top 6 inches was just normal dirt, but then it was thick clay, which stuck to the shovels making it very tiring. We got there in the end, but arms, legs and back took a hammering. Looking forward to part 2, thanks for posting.

    I have been watching a few older ones and see your having a slight problem with your paint cans, an old painter friend of mine told.me.if I take a penny nail or a sixteenth nail and put holds in the edge of the rim of the paint can it will stop all over runs and make it much easy to pour out of the can, and believe me it helps a great deal and show you know what your doing a lot better when you don't have over runs going down the side of the can of paint, try it to see if I'm right my friends and thanks again for showing your work on RUclips 👍

  • @michael-james1970
    @michael-james1970 Год назад +8

    I like the way you guys get to decide the position of the house before you build it. Here in the UK the planning people pretty much dictate the position of the house long before building even starts. Build it half a foot of what planning says and they could make you knock it down and start again.

    You guys are amazing. I learn something from you every week. Erik, when you’re digging in an excavator don’t put the blade down so far because you only have 2 points of contact with the ground, the blade and then end of your tracks. Put the blade down to make contact with the ground and maybe pick up a touch but not much so that you have more of the tracks touching the ground. You won’t rock as much swinging over the side of your tracks. I don’t miss a video. Thanks guys

    @dallasarnold8615 Год назад

    a bunch of years ago I was a duplex owner (and resident for awhile ). If I were involved in building one now, I would build a utility space between the two units to allow access to the water heaters, HVAC, and breaker panels for both units without having to enter the living space of either. It would not have to be huge, maybe three feet wide. This would also work as a sound barrier so that the landlord does not get numerous calls from one tenant complaining about the other tenant making too much noise. Yes, it might drive up the initial cost a bit, but it would make maintenance so much smoother over the life of the duplex for everyone.

    Dang that’s so cool the relationship they have with all there subs like the delivery guy and especially the smothered burrito man (porta john) lol here in New Mexico we call them the smothered burrito man. I might of just ruined smothered burritos for everyone that reads this comment. I do the same thing with my burrito man. They have these new porta johns that i helped them build on small atv trailers. They’re air conditioned and have running water as well as a male cord connection for the AC, lighting, and on demand water heater. You just hook up a water hose to it, an electrical cord (minimum 8 gauge cord) fill her with water and your good to go. It has an RV style toilet and sink so when you flush it it opens to the waste tanks and closes up so the porta john does not smell one bit even when its been filled. My only issue with them is i couldn’t figure out how to install a small urinal to it but they do have plans to add them in the future. Usually they’re used for outdoor events like wedding, birthday parties or any other kind of event that needs a nice porta john. They have two dedicated for my job sites but they can use them for other events my guys take good care of them. I really need to a stop writing these long comments lol I’m just not good at summarizing.great work fellas.

    I do dirt work for an energy company. If you hit power with the excavator, you’ll survive. The primary will cause a pretty loud boom and you definitely don’t want to touch the wire, but the excavator is grounded so you won’t die. If you hit the secondary, you’ll have about 10-15 seconds of underground fireworks as it arcs until it pops the fuse. Fun times.
