rain footage is the best part of your videos. it shows how effective your work was
I agree even though it's a huge pain. It's my favorite part.
If I was one of your clients something I would really appreciate is being able to see the work in video format anytime and show it to others.
Yes I have never had a client say no to making a video. Some have even commented that my work must be good if I'm "willing" to put it on youtube!
I bet these videos would come in handy for insurance reasons too.
I think it’s great. No only does it show diagnosis it also demonstrates the thought process in coming up with a solution. Most interactions with trades is a quotation for the work with very little explanation. Hats off.
Also you know exactly the work that said was going to be done is actually being done. It’s a win win win win anyway you look at it
The return of magic Mike
👍👍
I love how you go back and make sure your systems are working.
shawn i love when you go back when its raining it really makes the videos special
Thank you. It's a pain to get that footage but I like it too.
I was so excited to discover a new GCFD video this morning!
We finally got some decent rain so more are on the way Morgan!
Nothing better than one of your vids to start 2022.
👍👍 Happy New Year!
that core drill has been a game changer for the finish on your jobs.
For sure! I even bought another one as a backup.
This is the example of what professionalism looks like. Plan the dive...dive the plan. :-)
Haha yep!
The rain footage is worth the wait man. Actually see what the results
I agree Brian. It was painful to have completed videos sitting on my computer waiting for the rain but that adds so much value, like you said.
I really like seeing how the systems work when it is raining. Good job.
As a drainage specialist myself you guys did an excellent job
Thank you!
The coring of the curb sets you guys apart from the others. Beauticus!
Thank you!
I've watched every video, and never realized the trench digger has a little plow on it, that's neat. Can't wait for the next video, love you and the crew
that backfill blade is an awesome accessory! 👍
A tip for using the core drill in the trench - put a shovel or bar behind the drill and use it to apply the pressure as a lever to push the drill (same way the guys push the pipe together) Worked for me many times drilling into pits.
Great idea! We definitely need to do something different.
To apply pressure to the core drill you can weld together a fork looking tool with a long handle to apply pressure very carefully praying the actual saw that's turning and poking the ground for leverage, I hope I was able to be understood, hehehe.
Once again you go above and beyond to solve a problem that a customer didn't know they had. What a simple fix to add the condensate line to the job. Also, enjoyed seeing a little more of your team working. It's impressive that they are so thorough and have the attention to detail like you. I think I heard one of them say "Level Up"
For sure! The crew is the best part of my operation. Having people who enjoy the work and enjoy seeing a quality job makes me feel very fortunate.
Looks great Shawn. I think that what I like the most about your videos is the "real" 3 month out updates showing your work.
Thank you Pinky. I like going back to make sure things are working correctly.
The drone footage is a game changer! Production is next level now.
Thank you! I've been trying to get better stuff out.
Cheers from PG (Southeast Guilford Area)! Great Job!
Hi Matthew! I just came home from a small job in Julian.
I am pretty sure the home owners in and around the areas where you work are supper happy that there are reputable companies like yourself that goes through all the fine detail to deliver profesional service like we see here. Compared to the fly-by-nights who don't even blink when they con people out of the hard earned money. And what I like most of how you do your work is you go back even after 3 month to point out how the system now functions after rain. That I think is highly commandable.
Thank you Neville! I love seeing the system working. Sometimes I have to tweak something once we see how it's working, but we make sure to get it correct.
@@GCFD you are welcome sir. Great courtesy call/visit ethic.
I would hire you guys. Smart, thorough, open, no hidden anything
Thank you!
To keep pressure on the core drill, you could use a ratchet strap around the drill handle anchored to the trailer or trencher in the street.
Glad to see you're back, great work.👍
We definitely need a better way to do it. Great tips! 👍
Or maybe a bottle jack anchored againist a stake in the ground pushing the drill slowly. Use a Y adapter for the head of the jack .
And a drill mounted waterpump to suck out the cooling water from the trench
You could use a shop vac for the water instead of pulling the drill out every time to bail out the water, and maybe a high lift jack behind the drill and the other end against a post or the trencher
Whatever the method, that result was fantastic. Just the right angle, just the right height, the pipe fit snug, it was a work of art.
Or leave a dirt dam up the trench and just dig it out later
Great job Shawn..... As alway.
From Lee in the UK 🇬🇧 🙌 😀
Thank you Lee, as always 👍
Welcome 2022 and everything it brings as well as new projects. ...Cheers...
Thank you Laurie! Happy New Year! - Shawn
I am happy that you finally got some rain so we get to see these great video’s!
Thank you Steve! More are on the way! 👍
So great to have you guys back!
👍👍
Great stuff!! Exactly what I needed today, thanks Shawn!
No problem! I hope you had a fantastic day! - Shawn
Keep on core drilling from inside the trench, even though it takes longer the drilling looks mutch better and that's what the client is paying for.
Clients want everything to look good and professional.
At the end every job is a business card and mouth to mouth goes faster than anything else.
So keep doing the good work you've been doing for the last few years, I've been following you on CZcams now for 3 years I think and I've only see you grow and become better and better!
Thank you Dennis!! I enjoy doing quality work and showcasing that work here for the community. 👍👍
from the Netherlands thanks for the video Shawn
thank you Hollandduck!
That’s incredibly thorough.
👍👍
so glad youre back
I've been here all along, waiting for the rain footage! I wish we had a harder rain but i wanted to get some videos moving.
Awesome job as always. Great to see the home owner is so happy.
thank you Greg! I agree. 👍
I can’t believe how satisfying I find these videos
Still can’t believe you go back to every site👍 Thank you for your hard honest work and taking us along to your jobs.
It's my favorite part Jesse. Seeing the problem solved. I've got some very interesting problems coming up that even I was surprised how well we solved them.
Good job and very neat, well done Shawn and crew
Thank you Alec!
I like that all the crew keeps a level on them to check the fall all throughout the pvc to the street.
Yep. Everyone is cognizant of maintaining fall. I’m lucky to have a crew that doesn’t cut corners.
Loved this video! Another fantastic job, I said it before and I’ll say it again, great to have you back! 🙌🏻
Thanks David! I got a bunch of rain footage this morning, although light rain, and the videos are uploading.
Excellent job! It's always great watching professionals!
Thank you Gordy!
You have a great team working with you.
I agree Tim. They are my best asset.
Wow, such quality! Well done.
Thank you Scott!
Glade to see another quality job done you and your team
Thank you Matt!
Love the attitude from your workers. I work with some guys that can’t go two word’s without arguing
I agree. We try to have a good time on the job and everyone gets along very well.
You and your crew do pretty work! Great video!
Thank you Greg!
These guys do good work.
Thank you Jason!
Ah yes I missed these videos. Thanks Shawn and Team! :)
Me too!
Thank you! More are on the way since I got some rain footage this morning.
Of course we like. I really like how the grass has grown along the pipe trench. Thanks
Yes, we leave the trench mounded with seed and straw. It looks like crap but it settles well and doesn't disturb the pipe. We use quality seed that fills in quickly. 👍
Great start to the new year
Thank you Ben!
Glad there’s another video. Just finished snow blowing and came inside to find this. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Matthew! More videos are coming since I got some rain footage (light rain) this morning.
The core drilling is a great touch Shawn and is certainly better than knocking the curb out.
I totally agree. It looks great. 👍
Nice work lads. Cheers.
Thank you
awesome, 2 in 1 week! nice work guys and bring on that rain footage!
👍👍
You & the guys make it look so easy! Seems to me that happy customer was the reward itself, getting paid was a bonus.
For sure! He was completely sold by the end of the day.
Shawn, I love the attitudes and work ethics of your entire team.
You are blessed, along with your customers.
The condensation line's output to the curb was considerable, proving the wisdom of catching it in your system and ending the muck around the bush. Another great job.
excellent work . Quality , everyone should try and match .
Thank you William!
Happy New Year to you and your family, Shawn.
Thank you Nicolas! You too! 👍
another quality video from you mate I love watching your vids and seeing how other traders work in other countries
Thank you! thanks for watching 👍
I love that everyone gave feed back on the coring, awesome to see you core and hear about the positive comments from your customers, I may not comment all the time but I ALWAYS enjoy your videos!!! A++
thank you graphite! Thanks for watching - Shawn
As always excellent attention to detail! A little thing like catching the condensate line makes a big difference.
Thank you! The HO has been very happy with everything too.
Another top notch job. I'm planning to rehab the site drainage around my house in the Spring after watching it being done right..
Sounds like a job, Kingdom. Best luck with your project! - Shawn
Going back and getting rain footage is great. Wish more channels went back a while after the job to see the results of your solutions. Great work!
It's a huge pain and a serious delay in the video, but I think it's worth it in the end.
I always look forward to seeing the rain footage at the end of each video. Very satisfying. Thanks for the video 👍
Thank you! I know it's worth the hassle to get that rain footage. 👍
May it always rain on your parade. ;-)
Hahah. I wish I caught some harder rain but I wanted to get these videos moving.
Advance congratulations to the GCFD team. 30k subs not too far away 👍😊
Thank you! I'm looking forward to that one 👍
Awesome work!
Thank you!
two videos in two days! Nice!
hahah Ry, more are uploading....I'm still waiting to get fiber out to my place. The current holdup is permits from the county to the cable company.
Beautiful work. I know the homeowner will enjoy his home more now. Glad you finally got some rain. Have a Happy New Year and stay safe.
Thank you Brent! You too!
Great job again 👍🏻
Thank you Tony! - shawn
Very nice, clean job
Thank you Frank!
I would have run the gutter cross the chimney also. That was a beautiful curb core. Maybe the best yet? Loved the drone shot of the gutter clutter.
Thank you! We had talked about it but the concrete footer sealed the deal. 👍
great job as usual
still amazed after so many times that cables are only centimeters down in a lawn.
Yea they just don't bury them very deep.
Amazing. This video is going tomy favorites
Thank you karloz. There are more good ones on the way.
great work as allways
Thank you Edward!
You all work as a team and it is a pleasure to watch.
Wait until this clients neighbor decides to replace that seriously crushed and debris filled corrugated discharge to the street.
yes the crew is awesome. We all enjoy the work
I've watched several of your videos. Glad that you follow up to check how the procedures worked to solve the water problems. Thanks for explaining the reasons for your methods. It's so good to see the finished product working after the rain tests. Thanks for sharing and be safe.
Thank you for watching Patricia! - Shawn
AMAZING work 👏 🙌
Thank you!
Great Job. Happy New Year. Great to see how cohesive and well versed your crew is. This is important on many levels, and keeps the customer confident on your knowledge of what is needed on the job, leaving the customer calm and proud of your Technical skills. I only point this out to your new members who don't know what to expect, when a project is in it's operation. Nice digger cam! Gives a unique perspective of why a tool is used for ditching out channels for your piping. As always, great job, you and your crew. All success for this new year.
Thank you Robert! My crew is my best asset for sure. We all enjoy the work and solving a problem.
Love the core drilling! I know it's more work, but it looks SO much more professional.
I agree. Especially since the PITA part is only temporary. We also try to hand it off in rotation to lighten the load.
Dig It!! Happy New Year!!!
Great Work!!!
Thank you Jake!
Wow, what a thorough job, nicely done. The core drill is a masterpiece! But it must've been a pain to do. I'm sure the client is pleased. Cheers!!
Thank you Sheena! Commenters have given me some tips on how to improve the coring 👍
Great work
👍
Well done!
Thank you
Nice job fellas!
Thank you Alan!
I sure hope you put a back flo preventor on that condensate line !!! 🤗🤗🤗
Noooo. They install float switches on the air handler pan. You want this little line as clear as possible.
Great as usual.
Thank you Ray! thanks for watching - Shawn
Good men doing good work
Thank you derrick!
running condensate to the street was one of the best things I ever did on my drainage system. Love your work. you guys do a very professional job.
Thank you Lee
@@GCFD Is there a potential for backflow into the HVAC system along the condensation line during a heavy rain?
Good job, just one thing I'd like to see. When patching in concrete I think it would look better if you put in a stress relief line to line up with the one that is already there so it doesn't look as patchy. ; }
Great point! 👍
I really like watching these drainage solutions. Of course, where I am in Colorado, we don't have many issues because it seldom rains. From May to the end of the year, this was the warmest and driest period ever in the Denver area. Therefore...the fires.
I was just in Denver for christmas and I couldn't believe how warm it was.
@@GCFD It has been incredible. It is cold now, and we just had 10 inches of snow in Loveland, but the climate trend continues to be very warm and dry. Love your videos and wish you continued success. You deserve it.
Nice job!
Thank you Rodney!
Great work brother , happy new year 2022. god bless you
Thank you Darsan! You too!! 👍
Great video 👍 and love the shirt’s!
Full bubble boss!
👍👍
Nice work
Thank you Barry!
Been a while since I've watched one of your videos....time to catch up I guess. Nice job on this one.
Thank you Forrest! I hope you enjoy my latest videos.
Worth the wait.👍
Thank you Jeffrey!
Very nice diagnosis and repair plus the coring tool made it look so professional...Great Work ..I wish you and your crew continued success and Happy New Year
Thank you! The homeowner was on the fence with the price after I quoted it. But he was completely satisfied at the end of the install.
@@GCFD..... solid PVC is the best for these drains ...
Doing the right thing 💪🏻
👍
Looks like another fine job. I'm glad you replaced that cracked concrete. It was looking awful. That condensate line from the AC may never clog due to the volume the 4" pipe can handle. Great work indeed!!
I hope it never clogs. That's one consideration with burying it like that...
Nice to see you putting that drone to work also
This was the first drainage job I used it on. 👍
@@GCFD oh I am aware. I just got my part one 07 this summer and I am big into drone flying now plus I have watched probably every single one of your videos twice ha ha.I can tell
I have to say the grass came in nice. Nice job. I saw at the end the vent for the condensate. It should have a plumbing p trap just didn't see it.
Yes that's under the house at the handler. The line we caught was just the end of the drain line. There's still access under the house if it ever clogs. The tradeoff is having to climb under there.
Great video Shawn. Awesome job GCF!
If you pre-drill a 3/4" or bigger hole on the lower spot where you are coring, a lot of the water inside the curb will be alleviated.
Face your core drill trigger up and use a tile spade as a lever (of course not too much) to put pressure on your drill. Helps to keep the operator dry-er-ish.
You know what I mean. Core drilling and sawing concrete are never "clean" jobs
Thanks for the tips Ed. We really need a better way than we have been coring.
@@GCFD I kinda noticed. I have a few more. Coring at that angle is the way to go for sure.
