I lay out smaller jobs by myself. I took a metal .50 cal ammo can and installed an eye hook on the narrow end as close to the bottom as possible. I filled it 3/4 full with concrete. This leaves 1/4 empty for chalk, pencils, lines, etc. I painted it orange so I could see it and hopefully not leave it when done. Great channel, Chris.
The front wheel of your striper works very well, and it's mobile. Just place the line under the front wheel and continue doing so on each line. You can also do longer stretches this way. The cinder block does work. I just prefer the machine
Why did you do 20' instead of 18' ? I made a dummy helper by using a milk crate that I had in the garage. I bolted a piece of 1x2 across the back of it and put a 2x2 on the bottom from the front to the back for support. Then put an eye bolt on the outside screwed into the 1x2. I take this and put it on my 2 wheel dolly and attach it with a bungee cord and put a couple bricks in it for weight. Then just wheel it around the lot for doing string lines. I can hook my string line or long line rope onto the eye bolt then run the line however far I need. If I need the dolly for something else I just remove the crate. It also make sit nice to be able to store a tape measure along with extra railroad chalk in it.
Hey Chris I gotta ask you, why do you put your cross hatching in that direction? Is it code to put in in from right to left? Because I would think that putting them from left to right makes the job go smoothly. Let me know your thoughts about that
I e never had a code enforcement person complain about my layouts. That’s always how I do them. I’m not aware of a code that says what directions the hash needs to be I do know there is a minimum width that it needs to be on the cross hatch. But some guys hold their municipalities standards to everyone else and some may be different than others, little things. Like how Florida is for example. But at the end of the day. I just make content. I don’t know about other states . In my state I’ve never gotten a code violation for how I do new layouts. But there are a lot of guys way way more skilled than me. I just film the content i hope this helps. Much love.❤️
@@TheStripingGuy bro I love your content! Don't stop making it! I was just wondering if I missed something. I have been stripping parking lots, roads and warehouses for about 8 years and I'm just now trying to start up my own striping business. So I was taught to put the hatches going the other way. Main reason being that you won't have to drive over you paint when constructing the X-hatch itself. Just something that saves a decent amount of time and takes equal or less effort from the way you already do it. Maybe I can send you a video of what I'm talking about. Sometimes I'm confusing!! 🤣🤣 I'm out of Kansas City by the way!
In Framing(Carpentry) what your calling a Birds Eye, is actually referred to as a Crows foot(feet).. Just giving ya some info from my experience and skills I've learned brotha.
He did it for our church he was a sheister. I told them I would do the job if they’d give me time to leave but they didn’t want too. They wanted him too so it. Thanks for the support AAM

Thanks for all the support.
This is a good way to do it, I use a bucket of paint when I go out to hold my chalk lines and tapes.
That’s great. Whatever works
You are a genius how no body do that before
Good video...how did new handicap symbol work out for ya?

I was just doing it because a subscriber asked it it could be done

Another great video
Where are you located ?
If you didn't have the original lines there you would still need to make sure that you're square and straight
Do you have any contract templates or templates at all your willing to share?
I don’t have any contract templates.
Billy Davidson does.
I just use my estimates. And include a lot of detailed information.
I have a job that I quoted 11k on.
If I get it I’m going to do a video on how I got it with that estimate.
@Painted parking lots good luck on the job. Love the videos
How can I get ahold of you? Want to send you a picture of something that I will be making instead of cinder block...you have a Email?

Are you selling this ? Or can you share with us
That sealer company needs to be fired. SO many missed cracks, spots very poor job. I strip also, I use a board and roller.
He did it for our church he was a sheister. I told them I would do the job if they’d give me time to leave but they didn’t want too. They wanted him too so it. Thanks for the support AAM
