I'm late to the party, I realize, but REALLY SUPERB JOB working with these kids to train them how to do this sort of job. Really nicely done and a masterful display of patience while doing so...😁
I like how they're working together as a unit, also. No egos, just a commitment to doing it the right way and a willingness to suck up knowledge from the dude who knows.
It’s not a cabinet 🤣🤣 . So true. Reminds me of my job right after highschool as an apprentice carpenter doing commercial rough framing for store fronts(soffets and falsework) . My journeyman used to say beat it to fit and they’ll paint it to match.
There's this thing called continuity -- the concept is that the stuff that happens first is presented before the stuff that happens later, Just sayin'. I watch your stuff, regardless, because I'm interested in how things turn out. The June Lake fiasco is an example. You've provided several others. Party on!
Was for me too, although we didn't buy our first condo unit in Mammoth until the following year. Most of my memory of winter of '69 was the damage it did down in the L.A. area, coz we lived in Long Beach at the time and it was nonstop rain for about two months -- HEAVY rain, reminiscent of the '22-'23 season. Watched a lot of houses along the foothills of the Santa Susana and San Gabriel Mtns slide right off their foundations and over the cliff into a raging river. What a mess.
@@briane173 Interesting perspective from Long Beach. I was 9 in Bishop and remember looking out my bedroom window toward Mt. Tom and my upright bicycle was completely buried in snow one morning, being in the 'rain shadow' a foot was a lot for Bishop. Dad spent weeks reopening the Pine Creek tungsten mine, it had never been shut down for weeks in recent memory. Drifts up to 35 ft deep covered the road. There was chatter about the beginning of a "new ice age", dad said: "Yeah if every winter was like that glaciers would begin growing in the Sierras again."
Situational awareness! I would never hold a post steady and let anyone hold a board above my head on it ! While they are standing on a latter! Without wearing a hard hat first! Start @ #3:35 minutes
I realize that if you are going to work in this country then one must learn how long are fractions of an inch are just by looking at them. Is it hard when the USA is not on the metric system and you’re telling guys to move something by fractions of an inch instead saying how many millimeters overs you want something moved?
Ha! "It's not a cabinet." Priceless.

You're new guys hang on to every word you say. Much respect! They're learning so much,!

"It's not a cabinet" Love it. Or as we use to say, "Close enough for government work".
Training your employees is on point.

A builder's level is a heck of a lot easier than holding boards up in space. I think I would have put the bucket on first.
15:10 Winter of '69 very memorable for me.
