I'm not trying to be cynical. But wouldn't it be better to have your tracks running parallel with the trench so you can just back up a bit when you need to dig the next section? I'm a complete newbie to these machines so I'm keen to understand the reasons why people do what they do
If the ground isn't level the blade on the machine can lift the machine to level which makes the bottom of the footing level.
@@SolidworksUnlimited that makes so much sense! Thanks for the reply 😊
silicone in the problem gap? i did see if you fixed the original problem?
I noticed there are two different versions. One with the kit and one without the kit. The saw that comes with the kit (shown in your video) has a smaller/shorter black battery cover. The one sold individually has a taller black battery cover. Seems like they were able to cut some costs with the kit version to offer the whole kit for an attractive price. Not sure which one i should get...
I got another one with the taller battery box because it fits the 15 amphour battery where as the lid can't close on the shorter one
You are my #1 resource I turned to for learning to build my block wall, I did the wet set method, and the string lines between the H block with the nails and everything, I’m finally almost finished with my wall now and even after laying approx 350 feet of block I’m still amazed how much faster you are at it than I can be lol. Fun just looking back over these videos and seeing what else I can pick up on now that I have more experience doing it. Thank you again for these videos!
👍😎👍
In EBAY I'm selling a "Battery Temperature Sensor for SMA Sunny Island SI 6048 NEW, never used" There are PDF link there to install this sensor correctly.
Some really great tips of the trade. About to pour a 12x16 patio pad soon. Schooling up for a DIY project. Thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks for watching glad the videos are doing some good
Nice trick on the tying the string.
I want this done to the bottom of my cabin but they have ply wood on bottom half and no clue what I need to do to prep for stone :(
Cover the plywood with a tyvek or tarpaper, staple it on with a hammer tacker, then install a flashing at the top of the area desired to have stone so water never gets behind your stone, then lathe the wall with a 1/4 inch wire lathe, then buy some type s mortar mix at home depot Lowes, or a hardware store, then add water to it then mix it to a manageable slump the put the mortar on the back of clean stone and stick it to the wall, try and keep the joints consistently the same size, clean excess mortar off with a brush as the mortar starts to dry, in a nutshell that's the jist of it.
Thank you so much!!!
Where are you based out of?
This may be a dumb ? But Are the post exactly 20’ apart from measuring inside post to post or are they slightly over 20’ to compensate for the hinges and space in center of gate?
Measure the gates and add for center gap, and hinges and that's the post to post measurement.
Gotcha
You know there's gotta be a ball buster that says you put your lath on upside down. 🤣 Pockets (aka keys) up. Should be rough while running your hands down. 😉 Beautiful work guys! Thanks for the videos.
Just to help so professionally you should use pan head Galvanized 1 1/4 screws When screwing, you should not sink the screws and leave a quarter Inch roughly never make the mesh tight like your over stapling . Always do the cups up. If you use Staples again, you make sure it's not tight. So the mud can get behind the mesh . It's just the professional way of doing it. But you did a very good job.Its better and correct and will last long without cracking for all the viewers
Good tip
What size square tubing did you use? I Recently purchased the same gates.
I think it was 6"wide x 6"wide x1/4" thick and 10' long
Why so deep?
The septic is on the end of the house, so we had to have slope from the far end, also the top of the tank is only about 3.5 feet below dirt grade so the trench is quite deep because of that.
What nailer model are you using?
I've used several different kinds over the years, but the Hitachi or matabo now, I think they bought Hitachi out, and makita seem to be about the best, haven't tried a matabo heard good things about those. Here's a link to the Hitachi/ matabo amzn.to/3xSVQnh Makita amzn.to/3UuO3EV Keep in mind the 1/2 inch crown gun is cheaper but the staples aren't as readily available.
@@SolidworksUnlimited Thanks for your quick response
looks great! Is this a drystack or traditional mortar?
Drystack
Need to use "Quickrete 50lb Fast Setting Concrete Mix" for your inside fill next time and the S-type for the outside tuckpoint....The Fast Setting kicks off in about 20minutes its sturdy and sets up perfect for that type of building chimney work....!!!
I'll go for that on the next one. Thanks
@@SolidworksUnlimited Chimney and cricket turned out Great though !! People don't appreciate all the hard work that goes into something like this. Especially when we use the old building techniques...it'll last another 100 years !!!
Agreed 100%
Nice work as always. Hard to beat working outside, especially on the nice days.
Hi,..good to see post again after 1 year..
Ya it's been awhile hoping to get more available
Good to see you back! That turned out awesome!
Thanks man
@@SolidworksUnlimited absolutely!! Looking forward to more videos when you can!
You didn’t explain what you used and the techniques that you used.🤔🧐🤷🏻♀️
Sorry noreen, I'll try and do a better job next time, are you installing some stone and need more pointers?
I am! I could use pointers. It’s on my house, same deal as this.
I bought 2 of these. I spent $25 a year ago. Worst pos solar system ever. You’re better off building your own. Batteries are crap
The batteries are probably sulfated, top off the water and hit them with a strong 50-60 amp charge for a few days. Get them boiling/bubbling and then lower the amps to about 10-15 and let them charge for a week or so.
How many hours did this take?
I think it took me about 6 hours, but the table was quite pitted
I really appreciate how you showed the entire process up to the point where i DON'T KNOW how to do the rest. Guess I'll stick to fine furniture making
I apologize for that, the homeowners showed up and didn't like us filming, so we had to shorten it up till they left.
@@SolidworksUnlimited lol. It's all good. I'll check out some more of your content. I'm trying to learn masonry
Very clever idea. I'm going to try it myself. Thanks buddy!
No problem 👍
Music at end way too loud
Deepest apologies!!
1:17. When I first started in construction, 14 years old or so, the older foreman would twirl me around like that in the big excavator bucket when the boss was away lol. Great memory for me. 30 years later I'm running my own job sites and I wonder if the boys do this when I leave site for a minute. lol
Lol They definitely do it when your gone
Perfect videos .. p1 and p2!! Very informative. I have these exact gates and maybe you said it and I missed it but wanted to know if you’re going to install an automatic opener and if so, which one do you recommend?
Didn't install openers, but I'd have to look into the reviews before I'd say the one I'd buy, but there's some pretty nice ones out there, just have to scout around.
@@SolidworksUnlimited Thanks, I’ll look into it as well.. thanks for responding.

Hey I wanna make my own wall what do you use to shape the mortar

How did you set the hearth stone slabs? Mortar?
Ya, just 3/8" mortar bed
@@SolidworksUnlimited thanks man. It’s beautiful. Working on mine now. Appreciate the quick response
Awesome hope it turns out nice.
What size are the gate posts that you’re attaching the gates to?
6" x 6" x 1/4" I think they were 9 feet long if I remember correctly
They're just not THAT great. Nothing genius about the design, and nothing special about the execution. I'm surprised these thing are selling for more than their component parts are worth used, since the best way to utilize this crap is to dismantle it completely and make a fixed installation. At least Jeff Carpoff is doing 30 years for perpetrating the entire scam, and the US taxpayer is getting back maybe 10% of the money he defrauded the government out of.
I looked for an update but I didn’t see any? I have a 55hp farm tractor and I was thinking of trying to move a few similar sized spruce trees this fall. Did yours do well after this?
No, they all died but 1 and the one that survived was alot smaller, spruce trees might do better if your able to keep the root ball together, I moved some 12 foot tall spruce several years ago and their still alive.
Looks great. Why the white wrap with the steel mesh on the back and straight against the foundation on the side with no wrap or steel mesh.? I'm a rookie so just wondering why the difference.?
How can you bring the cobblestone back to life, I like it when it appears to be wet; showing off the colors of the rocks?? thank you, Mrs. Thompson
There's a product your family might have made it's called Thompson water seal, gives the stone a wet look. You should look into it. 😎
Why do you pour concrete inside the posts ?, I've never seen this done before.
Makes them much more sturdy and snow and rain won't go down them and rust them out. I would need to cap the posts if I didn't fill them.
Beautiful!
Thx!
How much did the posts cost? I’ve got the same gates.
I can remember exactly, but in your area just call up the steel yard and tell them you need two 8 or 10 ft long 6x6 steel 1/4 thick and you need a price.
I've been in the solar industry for 25 years and specialize in off grid power systems. Those things were a smokin hot deal if in fact the batteries were still in good shape and the generator was still working. Unfortunately some of those trailers were put together by people who had no business wiring them up. I know some people who bought them for $5000 and then spent another $5000 with an electrical contractor to get them working properly. So for technical people I would say go for it! For non-technical people I would say be cautious.
WHY is everything so deep ?Systems need to beneath this deep it will never get any air
The homeowners wanted it in a spacific location away from the house, the house had plumbing on the opposite end of the house as well requiring me to slope 2% under the house and 1% out from under the house, thus it's that deep, it's about 3 feet down from the top of the dirt to the leach pipe, it's not that deep, I'd prefer it closer to 2 feet but it's within the required depth and passed inspection.
A bear trap! Cruel!!!!
Cowaaaabunga!
What is the price?
Here's the link comes with 2 batteries and charger amzn.to/423mepH
What is the fence like material you put on the board before adding the stone? I have this board and was thinking of making driveway columns but without that layer.
It's called lathe, and if you don't put it on and staple it on good your stone will fall off, it won't last a year, probably not 2 months. You also need that vapor barrier, or it will rot the wood, just hire a pro, it will save you money
Or case 550 115 hp😊
Case 620 115 hp😊
Why didn't test case 550 or case 629 both 115 hp 😊
Perhaps we might reconsider .....if my body could tolerate the effort and time it took to start that 700 you still have to add the time it took to start the 700 to the time the 700 was cutting in order to make an accurate comparison! THEN we notice the battery powered took less time! Plus my body took ZERO abuse from that treacherous starter cord. I do not love or hate battery or gas. I do prefer not to abuse my body anymore though. Since you have concluded your gas one is BETTER .....send the battery one to me pull on that rope baby.
Lol 1000 bucks
