Engineer tells him to completely redo a leeching field and Andrew is "kind of annoyed" Video editing nearly the best I have seen on CZcams.

      He would have had the bring something in to accomplish the reinforcement anyway. That truck time etc is mir than offset by his "find". Each piece of equipment has to find its way..pay for itself hourly. He has to think this way. He's analytical. Plus or minus everything must pay for itself. He gets paid for his repairs too. He gets paid via keeping busy w minimal lost days. That's the overall calculation he makes as as businessman. He also just has a philosophy about his work. I did. You're either happy with your situation or you're not. If not, you bump your quotes. As I've said elsewhere it's part arithmetic and part art. All in all you want to keep as busy as your bills plus wants require.

      Howard Fortyfive Where I live (NS), if we find a foundation in the middle of nowhere, we have to call an archeologist to take a look before we take or do anything from/to the site. A road for a development near my house was delayed for 14 months because a foundation was found. Turns out it was for a barn built in the early 1920s.

    Great videos young man, thanks for sharing. As I watch your videos I have realize you n myself are allot alike in how things get done. I am 60 yrs old with a major low back condition, so take care of your back n lifting. You do Not want to be where I have been since 95. It's hard to retire when you were forced into it while still young. I am considering getting into the tree mulching business but still thinking things thru as its a very big risk for failure due to my health. As I have (6) heart stents n 3 in the widow maker. So one can recognize the overall issue. I was a heavy equipment mechanic n ranching background n work my butt off till I was forced out. I know now, that it was the best thing overall, as I was having issues getting big jobs done due to bad back issue. They just get a younger guy to replace you, then when his day comes. He also will in up crippled or worst. So all you young guys n gals, protect your back n use cranes n blocks whatever it takes to keep your back in good shape. Sounds good, but it's hard to do most days if you're in the field working by yourself 90% of the time.
    I don't really have the funds to jump into the tree n mulching business, yet I love running equipment n moving dirt n rocks, trees ect. I really enjoy watching your videos, if nothing else I can dream. No one will hire a guy with bad back issues, so remember that when you push your luck lifting equipment parts some over 150 lbs in awkward positions ect,,, Being that can do guy n one hell of a field mechanic only goes so far. I probably worked too hard all my life, but that was all I knew other than being a Paradog. Keep them videos coming sir, I really enjoy them. An your castle n shop is awesome from the outside view. Excaltly what I always wanted too. Thanks, Ty,,, Northern Michigan,,,

    You have no idea how refreshing it is to finally watch someone who knows how to operate their equipment climb on it and get shit done. No bullshit panning around at local wildlife, no filming pets, no going off into a spiel about unrelated crap, no ignorant-ass commentary, and most importantly, a man taking the time to produce a video that doesn’t look like it was filmed with a toaster. Just a man, on his skid steer, getting shit done, and making it look easy. Fantastic job, brother. I can tell you take pride in what you do. Cool find with that old foundation. Had to be 19th century stuff. Prolly took a homesteader weeks to build. Go drink a beer and tell yourself I bought it for ya. You damn well deserve it. Subscribed.

      Nah. Probably just folded it in to his machine time. That seems to be how he works some of the time. That's why he gets such repeat biz. I'm a retired Northeast GC. You (and customers) look over your bills from these guys. You look for them to make sense (+/-). He also works pretty efficiently so his bids (when he ballparks them...or nails them) are competitive from the git go. Just a guess on my part. You judge a sub over a set of jobs and make your assessment. It's part common sense...part "a sense". You need a regular guy. It's expensive (i.e. time consuming) to get multiple bids. Besides, how many AC types are out there? You also look at the equipment. Are you paying him or his lender. W AC there clearly ain't no banker...lol.

      John Furey .....was thinking the same thing. Ive operated equipment off and on for years. Trackhoes, dozer, skid-loader, frontend-loader, backhoe etc. His ability to cleanly remove the ditch material and scoop it up that cleanly was impressive.

    I like how you look for ways to recycle before deciding to purchase new. Great way to put an old abandon foundation to use.

      Thanks. I have a bunch of videos that were finished a few weeks ago, I've just been waiting to upload them so I could go back and get some good finished shots first.
