[treeclimber101]

A lot of folks do care.

I know you care for the both if us , to be frank I think recently you've been quasay salty ... I don't wanna discuss this in any detail , I know this is a hot topic with you .... So I will just admit my defeat before it even gets heated

 

[treeclimber101]

Sorry McKee that was insensitive on my part I do care . I don't advocate just giving free **** to people who come and live illegally , what I've said in the past has led me to see the light a bit and work a little harder to want to change things . Sorry

Cottage owner was concerned that with rain forecast, there might be too much weight on his roof...
Shovelled the bugger off by myself today. Much suffering.

If there gonna dumb it down for Pedro and Petra then hell yea I'll jump on board too. Is that wrong ! I wonder if I can knock out the CDL deal too ! Johnny law likes to squabble at times with me about the combo bucket chipper setup I have !

Cdl test is a cake walk in a bucket truck. I took mine with a flat bed 18 wheeler. Made parallel parking a lot easier then with a box trailer.

Ya, I think the last I heard matt was being bought out or some chit.

The last time I talked to Matt he said he changed his mind about being bought out and he wasn't gonna sell. But who knows

Got a good bit done today even though I got a late start. Got the chipper finished up and changed all the fluid and filters on my cat skid loader and on my dingo.

Found the manifold on the dingo cracked where the two cylinder pipes come together. Hope to be able to weld it back together without having to take it off the motor. Taking it off the motor looks like a real bitch.

The trouble with passing is not in the driving or the parking, it's all in the pre-trip inspection.

My old beater wrecker wouldn't pass the pre-trip inspection; the air brake control valve attached to the pedal started leaking. They gave me 1 hour to fix it, so I plugged up the exhaust port with a small fitting I bought at the nearby truck stop. Just one problem: once you stepped on the brakes, you couldn't release them for about 15-20 seconds. But it didn't leak any air!

I took the whole damn driving test with disabled air brakes and the inspector never knew the difference. She gave me a nice high score, probably on account of how careful I was to not race up on any stops, and how careful I was to check for cross traffic before proceeding.

How much are you guys getting for that kind of work? It'd have to be a ton for me to do something like that or even worry about employees up on a snowy roof.

 

[pdqdl]

Whats to worry? With that much snow, I don't think they could get hurt falling off, even if they did a swan dive.

 

[treevet]

I wonder where Matt and ol rope been hiding?

Here's a Matt we haven't seen for a while opcorn:

Priced this one too cheap....(these are hard times, LOL)...5 solid hours of slugging for $350. Plus almost half hour travel each way.
Top 12" of snow was light and fluffy. From there on down it was really compacted and heavy, which was a killer.
It was a low pitch roof, so nothing would slide down.

No big deal. My main gripe with the illegal situation is the hypocrisy of our government concerning illegal aliens and the double standard game Washington plays when it comes to illegals. You can't handpick which laws you intend to enforce based on a roll of the dice or how you woke up feeling that day. Same thing with the amnesty ****. Illegal is illegal...deport their ***** everyone or make a proclamation this country doesn't enforce the law anymore. You can't have it both ways.

Finished the last roof before the rain hits tomorrow. A big ugly metal shed roof, about 80`long with an extension off the end. What a POS. Got two buddies to help blast through it. Only took a few hours. Sweet! Going to have some lunch and coffee and then a shower and a nap. After that big ass roof all alone yesterday and this one today, I admit to feeling my age.

Zzzzzz...

Guess I won't complain about the roofs I do lol. All shingles. No crazy angles and mostly cottages so they are relatively small.

It is all about votes and voters.

The shed wasn't high or steep, just frigging big with a billion screw heads sticking out of the metal roof. Lotsa swearing.

When I got my class A in 1987 I thought I was going to take the test in the truck I had been driving, a late seventies gas single axle C70 tractor with a 5/2 trans and a little 28ft van behind it. I had hired a guy to get me through the thing and that was the truck we had been driving three days prior. I was comfortable in it. When the guy showed up on test day he was in a late model freightliner with a 48ft van behind it. It was road ranger 9spd. He told me the little chevy had to go to the shop and I would be taking the test in "his" truck. Couple of test runs with him and I managed to pass when the time came after lunch that day.

Gotta love steel roofs. Struggle to push a monstrous scoop of snow, and you get stopped dead in your tracks!
Lotsa little curls of plastic shavings from screw vs scoop confrontation.

Has to be some killer work to be shoveling heavy ass snow for hours.....We do it but not continuously like that. One of our regular customers hired us because the wife was worried about her desk jockey hubby falling out while shoveling their tiny drive and walks. Their neighbor actually ended up dying from a heart attack the next day!
