You should do a video on how you started your own business, what it takes to get up n running along with the hardships of the first couple years...
I agree
I know I am kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Harlan Rohan i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
I’ve owned my own business for 30 years and I still answer my own phone. The issue is if you hire someone to answer it, you will still have to return the call because they will ask questions only you can answer! Great video and shows how much dedication you have when it comes to “putting your name on your work!”
If you come to USA our Tim
Hortons will have a line around the building because everyone is ordering fu fu coffee with sprinkles. Pisses me off!
Hahaha that’s no good.
The dark and early crew. You gotta love it!
My kind of day - early mornings, long drives, and working alone. You're killing it - wish I did what you do - love that kind of work.
Way to get it done!!! It’s all about providing for our loved ones!!!
Really really appreciate videos like this. I run a landscaping / lawn maintenance company and I can literally identify with everything you've said. Early mornings, long days, come home and still have the home life to deal with. The grind is hard sometimes but it pays off! Sometimes I wish all of the office work and "business" related tasks could be put off onto someone else so that I could focus on running some machinery lol I totally felt it when you said that. Much more simple to be the worker instead of the boss.
For forty years I had to get up at 2am and normally worked between 10 and twelve hours a day. I was in grocery truck delivery and I worked in Los Angeles Ca. Man, I am glad that I finally could retire after all those years. My body is killing me because of arthritis and I have a terrible time trying to sleep at night because of those awful hours I worked all those years. I hope your body holds up better than mine did. You look big and strong and so did I, but all that work has put me in a tuff place at this stage of my life. Good Luck Stay Safe and give your little boy a hug for me!!!
You bet I will!
You nailed it! Pretty typical day except for no break downs. But I’m with you I wouldn’t have it any other way. Great video Tyson take care 👍🏻
Keep killing it buddy!
I see I'm playing catch up to my new adventure watching you, My question is are you going to startshowing us you actually working your machines in the video because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy that as well.
Many people have no idea just how many hours or how hard we work. No rest for the wicked!
Great video 👍🏼 Truly admire your work ethic!
Always a beautiful work environment
Great video man. I live out in texas currently took the step on being self employed doing lawn work for the first year. Not as busy as you but can relate to the go go and dont say no
Excellent content as always! Video titles are everything. Drives your video visibility. "A Day in the LIfe of...." "Servicing/Maintaining a Kubota", "Trailering Heavy Equipment" "Work Play Life Balance" "Safety Considerations When Using Heavy Equipment" "How to Mulch" "Anything with "FORD SUPERDUTY" in the title" "Why I Choose Kubota over..." "Why I Choose FORD over" "What I Dont Like about..." etc. As difficult as it is to balance publishing video content WHILE doing your day job, your base can only keep climbing and climbing. Your content is AWESOME.
Hey man thanks! I appreciate that!!
Farmers wrap(bacon), 3 hash browns and a large coffee-black is what does it for me at Timmy's. Nice little excavator.
Hey man! I really enjoy the channel, it's fun to see local content from the Maritimes and recognizing some of the scenery! I swear I saw your 350 Platinum on the highway yesterday on my way back to NB, it stands out!
Duane Verreault Lol thanks for watching buddy. I don’t think it was me unless you were on the 103.
@@workplaytv Hfx Truro portion. Regardless, it's a sweet looking truck.
Duane Verreault Lol thanks man.
I lost a team lead yesterday......(and don't have a replacement 😱) Now, to much work...... If I had to recommend someone to start there own business and get employees..I WOULDN'T.....most of the time it works out there tge weakest link,sad to say......(You can be sitting fine and all of a sudden have a million dollars of work and no one to count on, but ones self....) If I would build Companies agian , I would rethink...
Ps. I would say this even though I do love people and try to look the best in them then there faults.....one clients said to me," were baby sitter by proxy "
Seems , peoples ethics are lessening...✌
Great video, some people don’t have a clue what goes into just getting to and from a site, there’s a lot of logistical stuff that goes on, each day we walk out the door,
I’ve got 6 kids and work out of the house. I can completely relate! Keep up the videos!
Workplaytv keep making awesome videos on your i will keep watching your channel say safe and healthy with your family i hope this will get better soon happy Friday to you and your pretty wife 😀
Exactly what i do as well. Go Go Go Never say no. As tough as it maybe to fit another job in i make it work.
Hey I can relate to your work..as when I was a field engineer and was on stand by and got call out. I know what is to wake up at any time of the night..and go!!!. I did windshield time as well ....I worked out of the Miami office and we covered up to Key West a 4 hour drive...any how stay safe and most important healthy.. btw on those remote site if you have a heath issue how you handle/manage ??? Best wishes on you business I think you are on track👍
great vid
Hey man love the vids would be interested if you posted a video of how you started up the company what the hardest stuff is and how you over came the obstacles I’m from timberlea looking into to starting something up I’ve been In Ontario off and on for the last 3 years operating
Don’t say no, just go. I like it. 👍🏻
Being an independent contractor is tough sometimes, but you’ll never be the man if you work for the man!
Nice!! Your hard work seems to be paying off.... :-)
@26:08 bring the dogs outside and put them in the pickup or let them roam if you have a fenced property
have you ever considered a skid steer with a mulching attachment?or will it not work for your business? However great video big guy!
The terrain to top uneven and rough for a skid steer
I carry dude wipes in every vehicle and the boat for those emergencies. LOL
Do you have any videos on how to get this type of work? I'm a landscaper out in South Jersey and looking to get into bigger jobs like this. Thanks
Two milk? Dude! I thought I was the only one!
Haven’t seen a kx040 mulching video in awhile? U still like the FAE head for it?
Love this kind of video
I’m a heavy equipment operator and run boom concrete pump trucks, I can 100% relate to this. And they told us we had to go to college to make good money 😂
Hahaha yah man
Hey Buddy its Rocco from Connecticut your days are busier than mine but I'm not far behind but we do what we have to do . As always I really enjoy your videos there appreciated thanks your friend Rocco from Connecticut
Take care buddy always good to hear from ya
@@workplaytv I have had alot going on my dad passed away so things have been hectic for me but I've been following you since the beginning you know that
R & J Property Management yes sir and I appreciate it! Sooooo sorry to hear about your dad
Have you considered the 60 gallon replacement made by S&B? I’m considering it more out of laziness than need.
Do you find any advantages of the fixed boom vs the backhoe style for mulching?
Not sure what you mean
do you plow with that white truck? beauty for sure
You read my mind on the soup😂😂
We definitely don’t pick an easy life when we go into business on our own. I’m a plumber, early mornings and long days are part of the deal, wouldn’t have it any other way though.
Bill Morrissey Keep killing its bud
Hey have had a chance to check out DBL design your gona like what they do.
Keep up the Good Work !
Bless your Family & you .
👏👏✔✔👍😊👌
🌎⛵🐬🌌✨❇🌠
Yep yep yep been there doing that....Ha. happy baby happy wife....
What do you do specifically....reason I ask is you mentioned emergency jobs....I know I am a GC but we also have licenses in electric plumbing HVAC and roofing so we get alot of emergency after hour calls....so I am kinda curious what your would be...
Power outages, trees across roads, deploying generators. Anything to keep towers operating
Is this landscape work
What size will it cut up to?
Have you ever ran into any wildlife while you were on a site?
Lookin good!😉
Lol- the dirty shirt and piece of bread in the lunch box.
Wouldn't some of those jobs be easier in a skid steer with a mulcher head?
Did you know your engine light is on?
Lol
Backwoodsrider stop that! Lol
I’m young. Working for a company doing construction and throwing around the idea of going independent.
PA KTM It’s a big jump and can be nerve racking and there’s a chance it may not work out but you will never be the man of you are working for the man.
workplaytv I’m 18 so nerve racking is an understatement.
Nice job bud
I'd like to have a crew cab
😍😍😍😍
What type of contracting do you do?
PA KTM Pretty everything to be honest. I do slot myself and the rest I sub out.
How do you not have like 1m subs ⚡️
Lol really??? Why you say that?
workplaytv best content, you explain everything and you inspire me to do what you do !
Xavier Warren hey man I appreciate the words. I’d take 100k at some point. 1mil would be wild
I’m guessing Tim Hortons is the Canadian Dunkin Donuts?
Pretty much
Next time try eggs with some soup or I guess or you can just keep on keeping on with your soup with eggs.. (lo 😶😎)
How much coffee do you drink? Lol
Toooooo much
You complain to much
I see I'm playing catch up to my new adventure watching you, My question is are you going to startshowing us you actually working your machines in the video because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy that as well.
