There's a reason we all love Joe. It's because he is awesome. He works so hard, he is humble and seems like a genuine guy. This many people can't be wrong Joe. You rock. You must be excited to see the 401 getting slowly finished. And man you would have to be proud of the role you've played in that.
A big man, a huge asset, all stuffed in a smaller body = Joe! His meticulous workmanship is beyond reproach; I don't know how he does it day after day! You are blessed to have him on your team.
As a former aircraft mechanic in the 70's that worked on Nam era F-4s in the Marine Corps, I can truly appreciate the hard work you guys are doing. I look forward to the day you call out, wheels up!
@@BobbyG1955 I was a structural technician in the IAF, worked in our Maintenance Squadron in the Phantom B-Check hanger. We had the F-4E and some odd one off RF's. When you mechanics used to strip out screws, cross thread anchor nuts and break stuff, we would be called over to "save the day" !!
Guys! Thanks for inviting us in on this adventure. Its unique. For Joe - dude! I'm not kidding - you're such a nice guy and you are a natural at what you do here. Just keep being you- its great to be allowed to tag along on what has become your adventure here just as much as anyone else's. It wouldn't be remotely the same without you!
So wished I lived closer... As a helicopter mechanic in 1988 I was introduced to my first "Glass Bead" machine... and instantly Fell in love with them... I have two now... but sadly they are not currently set up... With this said... that Vapor Hone machine is an absolute beast!!! I literally would volunteer to sit there day in, and day out doing all of your vapor honing, (For Free)... One of the coolest things I've seen to date!!! Keep up the great work guys... absolutely love what you're doing!!!
I watched the video of you guys taking the wings off of the 401,, I do not envy you reassembling it,, All I can say is take your time,,, measure twice,, cut once,,, etc,,, Your 401 will be the envy of every one when it is done,, I think I was probably a pilot in a previous life,, because I really enjoy all of your videos,,, 🤠
The 401 is coming along. Hard to believe it is the same plane you fought to get started. Keep up the great work all, and Thank you joe for all you have put into the 401!
Joe is an absolute Hero for all he is giving to the 401, as are all the crew bringing this old lady back to life and back doing what she was built to do.
Joe is the best team worker anyone could wish for. He knows what needs to be done and just gets after it. Never a complaint just does what is necessary. All the the guys that have worked on this project have been amazing. I wish I was close to this project as I would enjoy working with you guys.
I can already imagine the Phoenix flying. Joe is the most hardworking and inspiring person out there, period. Keep up the Great work guys, love ya and have an Amazing weekend everyone! 🙌🏼❤🔥
@@notfiveo Some componants will receive a non distructive inspection, when performing periodic maintenance. There are several types of non distructive inspections, some use a magneting flux with a green flourecant die, some use X-ray as your friend said. On military planes, the landing gear struts get pulled off, stripped down, and tested for small cracks. Flat parts, such as the skin can get X-rayed. Expensive jet engine componants often get mag-fluxed.
I’ve been watching the 401 Phoenix since you first got the engines started.I live in the UK and have told quite a few of my aviation geek friends about this, we are all hooked and can’t wait to see it fly.
This hands down is the best channel on TH-cam. Ya’ll have something really special going on - thank you for all the hard work and amazing content. Guys like Joe are a rare breed. He is a big part of the recipe of why your channel is so special.
Guys, I think that I've been watching from the beginning, but I have not made any comments. I would like to say that I think that this is wonderful. I have always loved aviation and I always wanted to learn how to fly. But I think that has gone by the way at this point in my life. I do however enjoy seeing a beautiful aircraft come back to life again. It appears to me that you are all the most amazing people. Although I have never met any of you I feel like you are all my friends. I watch you work so hard on this project and give your talents to this plane. You are all very talented and I love watching things get done. As for Joe I really like him. He is delightful to watch use his skill to make this plane be reborn. I don't think that I am able to express my delight watching you all work on the 401 as well as I'd like. Thank you so very much for sharing this great project with all of us. I hope that I can see the final reveal when you get this finished! I must say that I am very excited to see this plane fly again. So, stay safe and have fun! I will be watching .
I never understood or appreciated the true meaning of beyond economical repair before watching this series. However this is a passion project where ROI was never a factor and I am enjoying the journey. Keep up the work and I look forward to seeing it to completion with you.
Love your attention to detail, Jason. I think even more significant than the airplane you are restoring are the people you are building up and strengthening through your positive energy and leadership. Great job!
As a former crew chief (herc healer) in the 70s (A,E and D (ski equipped) model C-130, Joe reminds me of those guys I worked with and always admired. Tough, dedicated and reliable...take care of yourself Joe the world needs more guys like you!
The 'Entire' Rebuild rescue crew are amazing Great work!! however Joe is always worth a special mention, his amazing attitude steadfast tenacity and the amount of work he does is incredible! Very Well Done!! Please get him to put his own name on the aircraft proudly! 😃 Amazing, keep up the great work!
You are right, Joe is a national treasure to all of us who watch each week. I hope he gets his new teeth soon. Great work on the 401 as someday we will watch it "slip the surely bonds of earth."
Man I really hope Joe is aboard the maiden flight of the Phoenix. It’s so nice to see his great attitude even when the 401 wants to beat you guys. I know there’s a whole team that’s working on her but this project would not be the same without him.
Joe is such a trooper! Well done all of you for getting this far! It may seem like you've still got a million steps to go but just remember, when you do it right first time like you guys are, that's just one less thing you have to do. Every step ticked off is another step towards the finish line!
Have loved following this journey all the way from Down Under 🇦🇺. Special love to Joe who's such an awesome worker and asset to the team. Now get on and finish this sucker! 👊🏻👍🏻🤘🏻
Joe gives off the vibe of that cool guy you always want to work with. Just friendly and always helpful. So happy all these blessings are coming to him he deserves every single one.
Wow! You guys must be half way there. I am so shocked. From like a year ago when he was struggling to start the engines. and now ? Joe is the lead mechanic on the crew (in my opinion). Seriously nice guy. What a team effort! Hang in there brothers. So impressive. Makes me feel good about the human condition.
So much hard work. The parts of the plane you have cleaned up look very good. This is a very interesting process to watch. Thanks for sticking with it. Hope you all can protect yourselves from the chemicals, coatings, paints and solvents.
Your attention to detail is outstanding! Joe and you, Jason, are really working hard to make this the best 401 in the world! It's so exciting to be a part of this! God bless you and the entire team.
Joe's just a good, honest, hardworking guy. People recognise that, it's why he's liked so much. Been watching from Thailand since the beginning, and it's fun to see it turning into an aircraft again.
Paint stripping hack: put thin plastic sheet like visqueen on top of your stripper and let it cook. The absence of air will supercharge your stripper and it will go down through all the layers of paint, straight to bare metal in one application. Plus the stripped paint pulls off with the plastic.
I love you guys. It is so neat to be apart of this journey rebuilding the 401. She is going to be an awesome bird. Joe is so cool! He works so hard & gets things done. We love him. It was good to see Sam stop by & hang out with you guys. Very excited to see the 401 coming back together & all the extra time & effort too make her better then brand new! Amazing!
You are all incredible!!! You for rescuing the airplane, Joe for being a workhorse troughtout the journey. He is so nice to watch, when he explains he stuff he works on and doing everything so calm and peacefully. All the love from Slovenia, Europe. Maybe in 2024 you could come to Airpower airshow in Austria and show off your plane? This rebuild rescue is a beautifull adventure that I love to watch
When this project Phoenix was at the end of tear down, i really wondered if it was getting finished or scrapped. Now with Joe, Jason and the rest of the team as well as the companies chipping in. I see it getting done in style and with perfection. Love this series.
Watching you and Joe's meticulous attention to detail (MATD) reminds me of a TV commercial I saw many years ago. A master craftsman and his apprentice were making musical instruments, and the apprentice wanted to know why they were doing so much extra work: Apprentice: "Master, why do we work so hard on things no one can see? If we didn't do this, who would know?" Craftsman: "We would know!" Gentlemen, you are master craftsmen!
There is also another reason to go the extra mile. They will be as much as a couple of miles high in this thing, and by going the extra mile, it helps keep it from going oops and falling those couple of miles. In rebuilding something like this, you really can't go too far or be too careful.
Joe is a true craftsman in my opinion. I’ve worked with some really dedicated and smart mechanics in my day, and Joe is right up there top-notch. You’re lucky to have him. I love watching this video. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see the finished product. Thanks.
I must say when I started watching this project I had my doubted how far it would go. I am happy to say that you are all doing amazing work. Keep on pushing forward and as far as time it takes what it takes Full support.
Love the Dedication of the whole crew and the tedious, painstaking, hard work that is going into the401.. You all are an inspiration.. And yes, Joe is absolutely a rare find. Not only a hard worker, but seems to have a Great Attitude and someone that you would like to hang with... Jason, you all hang in there!! Y'all will be so proud of her when she's all finished and Completely Restored.. Glad you rescued her and glad to be a part of it.
Love watching the plane come together- watching Joe work, it's amazing how much he gets done! Watching Sam being the straw boss was a great film moment as well. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see your faces when she flies!!
Joe is the man who is a great person and a great worker. The 401 is going to be great because of all of the work Joe puts into this project. The 401 will look great. Thanks Joe. ❤
Hello, from over the pond in sunny Uk. What you are doing, just for others is a fantastic sense of achievement. All the hours you are putting into the Phoenix will be so worth while. I am hooked on every video to see how much you have done. Joe you are one of a kind, great personality and sense of humour, you know that once the Phoenix is completed your smile will be very infectious to everyone around you. Good luck to one and all.
Joe seems like such an awesome guy and he does great work and he works so hard. He deserves all the great comments that he gets on here. Keep up the great work Joe and keep up the great work rebuild rescue. Love seeing the 401 come together!
Hello from Welsh Wales, I must endorse your comments as regards Joe! He has the best of qualities and I’ve thought that so often. I so look forward to the videos, they are the most interesting on the whole of You Tube! Well done Joe!
Wow!!! You guys are working hard on this project my respect to all of you! This 401 will look insanely beautiful!! I can’t wait to see the finished product.
I’m pretty sure they are called “static wicks” not “static whips.” Thanks for taking us along on your journey with the Phoenix and all of your projects. Love seeing the dynamics between all of you. A bunch of good friends resurrecting an old plane and bringing it back better than it’s prime. Keep it up.
Wow Guys! Amazing watching this video! What a Project you guys chose. Its like pulling a classic old car out of a Barn and totally restore it! Great job and my bows to the whole team!!!!
Joe just seems to be the guy everybody wold call their best friend. Humble, workaholic who's doing all the impossible things, and i'm sure he would go a lot of extra miles for his friends. He lifts the show to another level. Awesome guy.
Can't really say any more about Joe then what the previous comments have said, they say it all, he has really become the core of the 401 rebuild team, rock on Joe
Joe does such an awesome job!!! He seems to be working around the clock on stuff. I really enjoy how he gets to explain what he's working on and how it's progressing. Kudos to Joe!!! I also want to say thank you to the entire Rebuild Rescue Team for these awesome videos!!
I can only say that whole process is incredible! The people you have had work on this plane are also incredible. It would be easier to build new than to rebuild. I wish I had Joe’s energy and patience. I have a lot of patience but not like his. I probably would have launched a few tools by now. He is always there and gives a 100 percent. You all are giving a 100 percent. Great mission!
Hi guys, the 401 is coming along very nicely. I enjoy every episode and love watching the hard work and attention to details being done over every square inch of this airplane. It's obvious you all love doing what you're doing. Especially Joe, whose sheet metal stripping, cleaning, prepping and painting skills are superior! I'd enjoy working alongside you guys (and drinking the coffee)! Cheers from way down in New Zealand, David
Super bunch of meticulous, humble , hard working guys. I don't believe the Phoenix could have any better team to help it rise from the ashes once again. Its really awesome to see ❤🇬🇧
I love this project and look forward to all the videos. Heck, it takes alot of work to do all the video and editing aside from all the work on the plane. Yeah, and Joe is so cool. Ya’ll are lucky to have him. All the best from Texas!
Hello from the UK. Loving the reassembly process and loving the quality, patience, and high standards of the rebuild. It's going to be an incredible aircraft.
Just watching this old bird's nest come to life is so much fun - totally one of the best series on all of TH-cam - keep it going guys, best wishes from the UK!
See you on the next one guys. Thanks for helping me start my day ! Happy Fathers Day to all the guys and gals at Rebuild Rescue. Special thanks to Hard Working Joe ! Waiting for those front two teeth ! Keep smiling fellas. Rounding the last few turns. It's looking FRESH ~
Thank you Rebuild Rescue. All of you. Wow. Endeavoring to improve the structure of the Tip Tank regarding that deeper dent. Bravo and good luck. Knowing I don't know, I wonder what those who do know would recommend. Thank you.
Jason , Joe and the rest of the crew. I have been watching you from the beginning and your channel is my new Yellowstone. I can't barely wait for the next video to air. I am certainly hoping I can make Oshkosh when you guys compete the 401. Best of luck in all you gentleman endeavor and by Gods grace may you persevere. Joe you are the man my friend.
I follow this amazing restoration work you guys are doing since the first video. It feels like I'm a part of it and can't wait to see it finished. Great job! As I pilot, it's an amazing feelling to see an airplane ressurection coming back from death. You guys got all my respect. Well done!
There is nothing more valuable than having a hard worker on your team. Anyone that has lead a team into a battle or into a situation like hell, will take a hard worker over anyone else.
Thank you for all the hard work all of you guys put into this build , it is truly incredible to watch and see the 401 coming back to life literally in front of our eyes.
I would like to say just how thankful I am for the work you are doing - it was and still is one of the main reasons why I decided to start restoring old aircraft here in Britain (things like vampires and sea venoms). The primer which was on the 401 seems to come off really easily in the video - I spent a whole summer trying to scrape off etching primer from a sea venom fuel tank! Keep up the great work
Love Joe, he is a hard worker and he knows his stuff. I love a guy who you don’t have to spoon feed on how to do something. We all know he has never worked on airplanes before but it never phases him. Good luck Joe and Rebuild Rescue.
What a huge step forward guys. It starts to look like a plane again. Joe’s name need to be on the plane. ‘Papa Joe’ sounds good to me 😊 The work he puts into it with love and care is fenomenal. If you guys ever land in the Netherlands, I will come to see you.
Joe is really a true inspiration to all of us, Young and older generation. Just cannot help to love what he is doing. Thanks JOE!!!!!!! Watching all the way from South Africa.
Awesome to see the love and dedication you have all put in to getting this 401 back where she belongs, the air! Truly inspiring to all of us watching! 🙌
Joe is an awesome guy, always present and hard working. He just gets the appreciation he deserves. This doesn't mean of course that all the rest of you guys are not doing an incredible good job as well to get all this work done. Thanks to all of you who put so much effort into getting the 401 ready for its oncoming duties.
the 401 build is a favorite for sure been following since the first episode of the 401 joe is an amazing hard working guy cant wait to see the 401 finished love the builds always wanted to get my a&p and my private pilots license you guys at rebuild rescue have made me realize that i can go for it and achieve it! cant wait for the 401 finished and joe when you see this comment i just want you to know that you and the whole team are an inspiration of many of us watching the videos keep that positive energy and that big smile showing!
I think Joe is truly one in a million, people with that much knowledge and skill should not be under estimated, A massive asset to the team and never afraid of hard work. I would have him on my team anyday.
I have to say there is something I really like about Joe, He comes in, does what needs doing, minal fuss, enjoys it, goes with the flow, Ideal man for the jobs he does. Top Man
I rebuild stuff too - albeit my projects are physically small. Watching you thinking and working so carefully, for so long, and with so much patience makes me feel right at home. Best Wishes and let's see our projects continue to awesome completion ! :-)
From out of the ashes this is so veey interesting to watch Joe just hits it and kicks it no matter the level or skill he's there👍💪you all do a STELLAR job
There's a reason we all love Joe. It's because he is awesome. He works so hard, he is humble and seems like a genuine guy. This many people can't be wrong Joe. You rock. You must be excited to see the 401 getting slowly finished. And man you would have to be proud of the role you've played in that.
yes Joe is a diamond,he slogs away doing a lot of dirty jobs and is always there.....
Plus every time I see joe he’s stripping. Lol.
Bwahahaha,
Love you Joe but the stripping comment takes the cake
10000% agree!
I agree
A big man, a huge asset, all stuffed in a smaller body = Joe! His meticulous workmanship is beyond reproach; I don't know how he does it day after day! You are blessed to have him on your team.
Honestly he’s such a sweet soul
Truly "The man, the myth, the legend!"😅
Don’t know what you’d do without Joe - extraordinary work ethic even on the crappy jobs.
Joe has been a perfect add to the team and a great friend to us all here at Rebuild Rescue…
joe is a legend, he lives and breaths it lol 🙂
Where’s the other Joe?
@@rebuildrescue but where is the other Joe? :)
the project would have been in dire straits without joe, would also like to know what happened to the skinny joe
As a former aircraft mechanic in the 70's that worked on Nam era F-4s in the Marine Corps, I can truly appreciate the hard work you guys are doing. I look forward to the day you call out, wheels up!

The 401 will look great.
Thanks Joe. ❤
Hello, from over the pond in sunny Uk. What you are doing, just for others is a fantastic sense of achievement. All the hours you are putting into the Phoenix will be so worth while. I am hooked on every video to see how much you have done. Joe you are one of a kind, great personality and sense of humour, you know that once the Phoenix is completed your smile will be very infectious to everyone around you. Good luck to one and all.
Thank you for your support and positivity Gordon, it is what this channel is all about!
You have actually seen the sun in the UK, now that is a rare thing.
@@oldfarthacks hot enough to wear a T shirt and not hot enough not to burn you. PERFECT
Joe seems like such an awesome guy and he does great work and he works so hard. He deserves all the great comments that he gets on here. Keep up the great work Joe and keep up the great work rebuild rescue. Love seeing the 401 come together!
Wow, you guy are hitting it. Joe, as usual, is the master at cleaning and prepping - Nice going Joe!
Hello from Welsh Wales, I must endorse your comments as regards Joe!
He has the best of qualities and I’ve thought that so often.
I so look forward to the videos, they are the most interesting on the whole of You Tube!
Well done Joe!
He's a great asset to the team!!
Jason, you guys are very lucky to have someone like Joe on the team. He is a workhorse and appears to be loving every second of his work.
Wow!!! You guys are working hard on this project my respect to all of you! This 401 will look insanely beautiful!! I can’t wait to see the finished product.
I’m pretty sure they are called “static wicks” not “static whips.”
Thanks for taking us along on your journey with the Phoenix and all of your projects. Love seeing the dynamics between all of you. A bunch of good friends resurrecting an old plane and bringing it back better than it’s prime. Keep it up.
I don't remember seeing those during disassembly. Is an STC required to add them to the airframe?
Wow Guys! Amazing watching this video! What a Project you guys chose. Its like pulling a classic old car out of a Barn and totally restore it! Great job and my bows to the whole team!!!!
I want to thank you Jason for bringing Joe on board. He's been a great addition. Great show, and heart warming ending. All the best to you both.
I LOVE THE SMELL OF STRIPPED PAINT IN THE MORNING
Joe just seems to be the guy everybody wold call their best friend. Humble, workaholic who's doing all the impossible things, and i'm sure he would go a lot of extra miles for his friends. He lifts the show to another level. Awesome guy.
Can't really say any more about Joe then what the previous comments have said, they say it all, he has really become the core of the 401 rebuild team, rock on Joe
Joe does such an awesome job!!! He seems to be working around the clock on stuff. I really enjoy how he gets to explain what he's working on and how it's progressing. Kudos to Joe!!!
I also want to say thank you to the entire Rebuild Rescue Team for these awesome videos!!
I can only say that whole process is incredible! The people you have had work on this plane are also incredible. It would be easier to build new than to rebuild. I wish I had Joe’s energy and patience. I have a lot of patience but not like his. I probably would have launched a few tools by now. He is always there and gives a 100 percent. You all are giving a 100 percent. Great mission!
Keep up the good work Joe! Good luck to all the amazing team for the 401, hope we see it painted soon.
Hi guys, the 401 is coming along very nicely. I enjoy every episode and love watching the hard work and attention to details being done over every square inch of this airplane. It's obvious you all love doing what you're doing. Especially Joe, whose sheet metal stripping, cleaning, prepping and painting skills are superior! I'd enjoy working alongside you guys (and drinking the coffee)! Cheers from way down in New Zealand, David
Super bunch of meticulous, humble , hard working guys. I don't believe the Phoenix could have any better team to help it rise from the ashes once again. Its really awesome to see ❤🇬🇧
Amazing & exciting progress with the phoenix. Joe; your incredibly talented and patient.
I love this project and look forward to all the videos. Heck, it takes alot of work to do all the video and editing aside from all the work on the plane. Yeah, and Joe is so cool. Ya’ll are lucky to have him. All the best from Texas!
You guys are such a great, hardworking crew. Keep up the good work!!!
Joe is the back bone of rebuild rescue. He is a machine! Thanks Joe!
Hello from the UK. Loving the reassembly process and loving the quality, patience, and high standards of the rebuild. It's going to be an incredible aircraft.
That's what we're aiming for Tony, thank you for believing in the 401 with us!
Just watching this old bird's nest come to life is so much fun - totally one of the best series on all of TH-cam - keep it going guys, best wishes from the UK!
See you on the next one guys. Thanks for helping me start my day ! Happy Fathers Day to all the guys and gals at Rebuild Rescue. Special thanks to Hard Working Joe ! Waiting for those front two teeth ! Keep smiling fellas. Rounding the last few turns. It's looking FRESH ~
Thank you Rebuild Rescue. All of you. Wow. Endeavoring to improve the structure of the Tip Tank regarding that deeper dent. Bravo and good luck. Knowing I don't know, I wonder what those who do know would recommend. Thank you.
Jason , Joe and the rest of the crew. I have been watching you from the beginning and your channel is my new Yellowstone. I can't barely wait for the next video to air. I am certainly hoping I can make Oshkosh when you guys compete the 401. Best of luck in all you gentleman endeavor and by Gods grace may you persevere. Joe you are the man my friend.
I follow this amazing restoration work you guys are doing since the first video. It feels like I'm a part of it and can't wait to see it finished. Great job! As I pilot, it's an amazing feelling to see an airplane ressurection coming back from death. You guys got all my respect. Well done!
There is nothing more valuable than having a hard worker on your team. Anyone that has lead a team into a battle or into a situation like hell, will take a hard worker over anyone else.
Thank you for all the hard work all of you guys put into this build , it is truly incredible to watch and see the 401 coming back to life literally in front of our eyes.
It is amazing for us too! We've had our ups and downs but the journey has been such a great learning experience
@@rebuildrescue Yep, the next plane will only take 42 days. LOL
Good work guys.
Joe's such a sweetheart. Unassuming and hard-working. Glad you got him your team.
I would like to say just how thankful I am for the work you are doing - it was and still is one of the main reasons why I decided to start restoring old aircraft here in Britain (things like vampires and sea venoms). The primer which was on the 401 seems to come off really easily in the video - I spent a whole summer trying to scrape off etching primer from a sea venom fuel tank! Keep up the great work
Joe you are the man ! Top work and top class work ethic ! 🇿🇦
hello from Turkey. Huge respect to the team and what you guys are doing keep it up. 👍
Thank you Brother!
Love Joe, he is a hard worker and he knows his stuff. I love a guy who you don’t have to spoon feed on how to do something. We all know he has never worked on airplanes before but it never phases him. Good luck Joe and Rebuild Rescue.
What a huge step forward guys. It starts to look like a plane again. Joe’s name need to be on the plane. ‘Papa Joe’ sounds good to me 😊 The work he puts into it with love and care is fenomenal. If you guys ever land in the Netherlands, I will come to see you.
Great work everybody joe your a bloody legend mate
Great work.luv to see Joe's skills and craftsmanship.. you guys 🎉 rock . Luv the 401
Joe is really a true inspiration to all of us, Young and older generation. Just cannot help to love what he is doing. Thanks JOE!!!!!!!
Watching all the way from South Africa.
It looks good so far, lots of so much little things to clean up and work out. It starts looking like a plane again. Good job!

Joe's the man. If he can't do it, nobody can. Love your videos.
😜Great Job Joe you are the backbone of the rebuild!! The 401 would not be as far along as it is without you!!😄🤪
This is gonna be the best 401 in existence when you're done! Amazing work!
Awesome to see the love and dedication you have all put in to getting this 401 back where she belongs, the air! Truly inspiring to all of us watching! 🙌
Joe is an awesome guy, always present and hard working. He just gets the appreciation he deserves. This doesn't mean of course that all the rest of you guys are not doing an incredible good job as well to get all this work done. Thanks to all of you who put so much effort into getting the 401 ready for its oncoming duties.

I think Joe is truly one in a million, people with that much knowledge and skill should not be under estimated, A massive asset to the team and never afraid of hard work. I would have him on my team anyday.
Well done Joe you are a hardworking star
I have to say there is something I really like about Joe, He comes in, does what needs doing, minal fuss, enjoys it, goes with the flow, Ideal man for the jobs he does.
Top Man
