ive patched trash compactors twice for $4k each time. disgusting inside with thousands of giant roaches. just over an hour each repair. they had waste fluid runoff going into the city drain and were getting cited by the city. they accepted my price instantly
shit man 4k for patching a compactor? I need to go mobile for myself already... I work for the city and I have to patch trash trucks on a weekly basis for $19 bucks an hour... and spend all day in one because they wait until its really fked up to want to fix them.. good on you bro
@@joelitotek1796 what the fuck? im a 3rd year welder/fabricator etc and im making $22 an hour and thats only because its next to my house, normally id ask no less than $23-25 minimum. You need to either put your foot down for more money or quietly move to a different job, the second way is alot smoother but if you wanna show your nuts you can ask for some more money or pack your shit lol
I was a plumber for 11 years, worked commercial and industrial plumbing on a military installation where they trained recruits to permanent party soldiers. Loved the job and the people I worked with but had to quit that profession because I contracted hepatitis B and C. There is all kinds of bad bugs in human shit. That was many years ago. I had all kinds of test and even liver biopsy and all expenses came out of my pocket. At the time my 5 year old son and wife had to be tested along with my youngest that was still in the womb. Government in a crappy way said there’s no proof I contacted it thru work. In other words I got the shitty end of the stick.
@@interesting7906 not everyone can be an unsanitary pig. I get covered in grease, dirt, mud, hydraulic oil whatever it takes to get trucks rolling, garbage and shit hell no. I'm out. Unlike you I wash my hands.
@@interesting7906 no but seriously this is a legit hazmat, just because somebody is willing to work in literal shit for $2000/hr doesnt mean its ok lmfao
I remember jobs like that, from when I worked construction. It's disgusting to start, and then..."Oh, yeah, we forgot to tell you..." humorous only in retrospect. Keep making the videos. Takes a bit of time to get your message out there. Great video!
I've seen how the drivers that pick up those dumpsters don't care and back into them. Watched one guy hit one 4 times in different spots trying to back up to it with the rails tilted and about a foot off the ground. 4 separate holes on one side because he was at a angle. He got it right when I asked him if he needed me to back the truck up. I mean it's not that hard to back a truck up to one of those dumpsters.
01:34 I'm going to give you another idea on, sometimes, when they drop these things, they push them backwards with the rails.. I know this b/c I've seen it done, the hole's so smooth, it looks like it's some action that is, CONSISTENTLY engaged in. Anyways, that's cool that you earned some money on this job.
loving your videos, Paul in Florida...by the way, that BIN is what in the water treatment biz is called a Turdapottumus!!!!.....I have done a few jobs at the POO Plant...Cheers
I have a friend where he worked, done work for the city and worked on the water treatment plant and the sewer plant. They took care all their welding and fabrication needs. You are right to charge for all the safety hazards and getting suited up. Most of the time when the water or sewer plant called it had to be done right now so that alone makes the price go up. Just keep up the good work.
Dang On Fire, you stole Mike Rowes's job lol...Oh well, for $1G, money talks and Sh#$%T walks! You earned it on this one. You deserve an EL' STINKADORA cigar for that job!👍👍💪💪✔✔
Do you have a hydraulic bender mounted on your work truck. To bend up to 18" wide thinner plate. Perhaps using thru hole Portapower rams that you already own .
What a shitty day😂. I rebuilt a conveyor at a water treatment plant that loaded the "cake" as they so affectionately called it into trucks. I wore three pairs of gloves and a tyvek suit all day. Nasty ass job
Reminds me years ago, just getting into a hard to get out of confined space with a partner- you should have seen his facial expression when I cut loose!
You should see if they want you to weld armored plates on all of their bins. Couldn’t hurt and probably better to add those than have to pay to get holes fixed.
I'm glad you made the sale. If that's what I think it is, you likely weren't in any real danger. I built a few plants, and I got licensed as an operator. I am curious why no one at the plant could do it? We all had to have a semester of welding class where I went. That was after 20 years as a journeyman industrial sheet metal worker.
I would’ve drive home immediately afterwards and jumped in a hot shower….. for hours. I’m definitely not afraid to get dirty when I work but this is a whole new level of…god I don’t know what. Your apprentice rocks! BTW…just found your channel. Really enjoy your content!
@@OFW Oh Geez....poor guy. I am a welding student and honest to God, I have had 3 children and have cleaned some pretty gross stuff but this.....I just....let's just say I respect the hell out of him.
Rolloff driver here, theres a million legit reason the container could be mishandled. Stuck rear roller, rock preventing it from rolling, stuck on rail wont slide off, in these situations you have to do something. Correctbdriver shoukd be able to handle it, but fucked up equipment is a real thing.
Well worth the charge for the dangers, I would have worn a respirator inside the bin and a full face shield over the safety glasses. Never can be too careful. Stay safe and God bless
Shit Bin!!!! This is an aerobic treatment plant. Anaerobic treatment plants still have a strong smell but it's more like strong farm field smell. Can't blame you for bending them over backwards till you leave a crease is a good thing.
I have to repair packers AKA trash trucks. I usually move the diapers, maggots and other hygiene products with a shovel. Just to access the hydraulic lines. Or patch repairs.The juice is lovely 🤮
Was the Old Spice ad intentional ?? It is interesting to know that we smell things because the particles go into our nose, that means that pices of whatever you are smelling are already inside YOU.
A simple cloth mask is now effective against viruses, I don't know why they even sell respirators, just take out asbestos etc. with a bandana and you should be fine.
i used to do welding repairs in a meat rendering plant..skips full of dead animals turned into oil..fertilizer..etc.. it stank to high heaven and i was only on £7 an hr... broken screwdrives in the bottom of tanks or broken teeth in the choppers... when i was welding it would cook the meat..🤮
LMAO dude i laughed my ass off this video. How the eff do you fall down in that shtt man? Id be being super careful lol. I probably would of tried to find some pieces of wood or cardboard to stand on while i was in there also haha.
Not bad, looks like dewatered digested sludge. I got a 40yrd. roll off that had dead maggots, and smelled like a rendering plant. Rather making stink, and having the neighbors small this the whole time, I just mixed up some degreaser and bleach broommed the floor twice, got rid of 95% of the smell. When the driver came for pick up, turns out the previous haul was freezer food from Walmart that sat for days, before pick up, driver said the truck stunk after he dropped of to me.
Self employed. Taken jobs for an ungodly price. They never go away. You can charge them 3000 for that and yhey will still call. And yes, i understand about doing for good customers. I guess sometimes it suppose to suck. Thanks for the videos.
knowing when to bill a client directly or know they are under a land lord service so after billing them at a prorated rate that smaller fund is taken to other services under that same land lord and exchanged for its corrected capital gains value. IE: guy pays $2800/month to rent a shop space 80% of that is land taxes, so if a quote goes out for $250 on a $1800 job, their are other services in place to sell material at that end job rate tho priced down to the billing quote of licensing... less money exchanged is less tax one has to pay, more things in the way in civil structuring that lure confusion. $800/hr in Alberta is normal, just billing 40/hr... getting around to use it right is to complicated for a first year... bill more and don't get the job... not hard to get $1200/hr off of billing $40/hr. but a $50 7kw generator makes 10kw 280 volt at 75hz, 250amp mobile set up, scrap bins sorting knowing what's what and is not. anything better then a 3rd world set up is a good rig.
after rain ,definely ,they will be an airborne from inside the tank(soil ,water,eyc ),when sun heat up ,water vabourise will carry all type of unknow good friend and start airborne journey....the tank owner should take responsibility of the sterilization job,before send to any people for repair...
My price would have been $10k! Speakiing as someone from the UK, I'm amazed that excrement is carried around in open skips, over here closed slurry tankers are used. We have a saying over here for jobs like that, where there's muck there's brass, brass being euphemism for money.
my first job in the welding industry, was cast iron sewer pipes, for the local poop treatment center, no matter how well they were steam cleaned, l always went home smelling like l'd been up to my neck in shit.
I've got a saying I use quite often ! That is (CFS) Can't Fix Stupid ! And people that do damage like that , well that describes them very well ! I work in as a fork lift operator and boom lift operator and I see damage almost every day due to carelessness or Stupidity ! Hence (CFS) A suggestion next time if there is a next time tell them to have it pressure washed out at least !
If they called me they would have heard "click" as I hung up on them, no way I would even think about touching that without it being thoroughly cleaned. Another thing, why were they using that open top roll off to haul human waste and on top of that, where is the poly liner?
A shitty job might be welding pressure piping in a basement of a sewage treatment plant. With shit spewing out of the pipes lol. Ive done a fair share of that. This job was definitely emotional damage. But in all seriousness all the carbon you breathe in air arcing, the death plume from plasma cutting, the flux core fumes from running large diameter wire, all the dust from and grit from the grinding and cutting abrasives is far worse my friend. Stay safe, protect yourself more on a daily basis. Keep up the great work, keep putting out great content but most importantly, be more vigilant on taking care of your health. 👍

Lol I work at a garbage company and the drivers literally ram everything with the back of the rails.
There’s the old plumber’s quote that applies to you now: “It may be shit and piss to you, but it’s bread and butter to me!”
You know how you can tell a plumber from a pipe fitter? By the brown ring on their arm. AKA Turd herder!
Your #2 is #1 with me!
Smells like money 💰 🤑 💸 that's what we said at the plant.

Well that and probably the batteries and med waste didn't help

In those all the time 🤣😂

Crazy job. The ending was hilarious!
you know you are now on their emergency list :)
did they back into it again after you did the repair? Looks like a big ass dent in the paint on the new plate.
Those should definitely be reinforced in the front because sometimes they need to push them cans around to get them in the places
A driver, hit something? Never!
Apprentice of the year 🔥💯👌
yep!!! After doing one of those bins myself $1000 is well earnt money. Also abattoir trucks should be the same.
I use to clean drains for a living,I said we took shit from everyone.
I farted in this confined office while watching this video. It was so much more realistic :D

Oh man , I can almost smell it all the way from down under .
I am surprised they are allowed to store that out in the open exposed to the elements. Great video 👍
I think I would’ve just told them to clean it.. Definitely not too much to ask to have them shovel it out and pressure wash it down.
Thats a sweet vise on the back of your truck

This reminds me, when I was a pipe layer ,I layed new sewer pipe as the operator of the excavator would dig up the existing while it was in use.
That looked like as much fun as it is to change a composting toilet bin :)
They should steam clean it first but it’s not a perfect world
Worth every dollar I reckon

There is a liner but it always gets holes in it. And it never gets cleaned. There are many unanswered questions with this one.

no...pressure wash will make stuff worse....sterilization is need
I agree - charge the hell out of them!
HOW DO YOU BILL YOUR CUSTOMERS?.. IMMEDIATELY AFTER JOB COMPLETION?, 15 DAYS, 30 DAYS?...
It depends. But usually I turn in an invoice at the end of every week.
I used love drivers like that.. if everyone was careful, there'd be less work. - I'd have cared less if they used it to store rhino-poo - we all wipe our butts - and that's gettin close to poo too... we used get all the "our crap-pipes collapsed & nobody wants to fix it!!" jobs as we cared less about stanky work - and the bills were similar too.

I would have said add some more zeros and it's a deal
Hell I do one everyday if they wanted me to. Definitely wear ppe for it though
