As a contractor myself, I always get asked to do things for people and other contractors. A guy with a skidloader on a jobsite is always in demand, and when possible I try and help out, usually it just pays in reputation, occasionally a few bucks or beer. But that's how u build your company amongst the trades and homeowners. It puts u in front of their eyes in a positive way. Which is the best advertisement there is
always nice when the contracted crew is cooperative and willing to take responsibility for their own decisions... want to get it done fast and easy there is always risk of damage... glad you guys covered your asses and the other crew stepped up and took responsibility
Got to love it when a plan comes together and I have help people out and it's been good and I've helped people out and it has gone bad but it's always good to help people
True, thanks for watching Kevin
Had one similar where the contractor wanted me to do a favor with my hydro crane and set a steel atv bridge across a fast running dirt walled irrigation canal. I realized when I set up, my outriggers could cause the canal side to collapse. They would have to shut the canal and I would have been liable for all the crops down stream! They offered to pay and sign a waiver I still said No Way. Sometimes you just walk away.
So true!
I showed my brother, a sitting Federal Judge in Texas, this, and he said THIS video, if allowed into court, would be more of a problem than a solution. This is what leads to negative adjudications when uneducated people make assumptions and listen to others without the education and knowledge required to make professional opinions without basis.
But, he also said, the school of hard knocks usually teaches a lesson that reminds the learner for a lifetime.
Good luck on your endeavors. good 👍
thats a wery god idea to film your jobs. i use to take lots of pictures allways but thats even better. i starting to do just that from now on. thanks
I'm not a construction lawyer, but I do occasionally represent small contractors when they've been stiffed on payment. it would their lives so much easier if they did a better job communicating clear expectations and limitations with their customers. video is a great way to do that.
Very nicely executed job. And having it on video is the best too.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing we don't cover our selves often enough thanks for helping our company re-scope our procedures!
Thanks for watching
Kudos to the general contractor for taking the responsibility. Our pride doesn't always want to allow us to stand up like that
True!
no good deed goes unpunished... I've learned that the hard way.
Typically, people aren't going to reject the video of video CYAs.... They understand you gotta do what YOU gotta do... Glad it worked out. I wasn't wanting to see it go bust. :S
Yasmin so like you said sometimes we have to do things we don't like but it's part of the job keep going man you are a good man
+fernando saavedra Thank you!
Thanks for this video Stan, I'll definitely implement this during this years landscaping season!
Thank you!
i see NO problem.
If a demo crew cant demo a chimney, You needed to take charge somewhat to ensure a safe/clean outcome 👍.
Excellent video for ALL contractors to watch
👍
man so much exp to share.. Its like its now my exp .. keep them coming!!!
I need keep that in mind about taking video on Jobs that is not in my bid! Good word Thanks!
+dearswood12345 Your welcome!
That chimney would not take long to take down by hand probably do it in under an hour Why would the demo guys risk it?
augman exactly that's what I thought.
augman I think the big dudes crew just didn't want to deal with it. But seriously give me 3 hours and some hand tools.
augman same thing I was thinking very lazy people why no do that manually
I'm gonna say it's because they're all too fat to get on a ladder.
also it's a bit of a hazard on a ladder when the wall could come down. they don't seem young, and would rather definitely make it home that night
all I have to say is favors to people you don't know usually have more trouble than good. but really it just comes down having good judgement on when to help and when to let something be.
Good job guys ready to work
Thanks Rick
I'm sure you already know this, but the term you're looking for is,..."At YOUR direction." You can suggest different ways of doing it, but then have THEM tell you how to do it, and follow their directions as long as it doesn't endanger you or your equipment.
True- good way of putting it!
Getting a chuckle that you use thje same music as Curry Blake and JGLM.org. God bless you and keep you safe.
God Bless!😄
Any contract dealing with possible damage above $500 would in fact need to be in writing. At least in Washington State. FYI
thank you so much I had to implement this today
Nice- hope it worked out for you!
Great videos and great business advice.
Thanks!
man if you had not had the foresight to get all that on video, a pen and paper even could have left some questions unanswered in court...video was definitely the best option!
Very true- good Point!
A better route would have been to tell those guys to step up and do their job. Helping is great but laziness seems to have fed this course of action.
😃
All that one dude had to do was lean on it.
hahaha
Facts man, facts.
If he showed up at a property of mine, I'd see laziness, and his whole crew would be guilty by association. That's when I say....No Thanks!
just cuz you got some weight on ya dont mean your lazy, i had some blokes on site like that and they graft like fuck
Well, I should clarify. Asking someone else to do a job for you because you re unprepared is my signal to move on. It's not a weight thing, even though I came across like that. The guys weren't prepared, and there's nothing wrong with asking for help, but a good contractor shouldn't have to ask for help, They should be prepared.
Hey, I remember that scope!! Great vid Stan
+B&B Lawn Care Thanks Blake!
That one got the adrenaline going a bit!!!!
+Andrew McClintock :)
Great ideas tanks. And God bless you too
Hi Stan, love you video's, very informative. I have a important question in regards to what we can learn from the situation going on with geek to freak. With your experience of running a successful landscape company and putting yourself out there, what precautions should be exercise in dealing with situations so we can learn from geek to freak. Thanks a bunch Stan!
Toughen up buttercup :) Haters hate-and keep your customers info off the internet. Those are 2 things I have learned. I get hate mail everyday-I do my best to read it and forget it. I check just to make sure their isn't sensitive info in there that I need to address.
You learned this from the septic line under the pool get it in ink
Wow he went a little crazy pulling that thing down lol
In new construction I have them sign the change on the plans. I just employee looking out for the owner
True!
Your the man!!!!
Thanks Brandyn !
It looks kind of weird seeing a low loader behind a tipper lorry like that. Here we put tractors in front them a pull diggers and everything on them
Always a great reminder to cover your own ass!! That chimney couldn't have fallen better. Great job.
+Meadow View Lawn Care LLC Thanks!
I'm looking to get a scag or exmark laserz mower and start doing some work local in the next few years. any tips to help and start off with?
Yes- keep watching this channel- lots of how to's on it.
very good idea thanks for the video
+eric malascalza Your welcome!
Really great info
Think I'll hire the company that's not worried about there operators abilities and taking responsibility for there mistakes
lol very endearing characters in the vid
Good work
+Huerta Brothers Lawn Care and Snow Removal Services Thanks!
You're from Minnesota?
Subscribed. Aweosme channel. Really enjoy your content. Will be checking out your podcast too!
Great video, 2 thumbs up!
+Country Crafts Thank you!
That what I call stand up guys.
😃👍
Nobody saw the gun behind the camera pointing at the owner now did they??
Why not put a camera on that mini-ex arm, and a tablet or screen in the cab for those deep holes?
+yowmemperor I could- I have a go pro that I can do that with.
I cover my 'aaaahhs' with my trousers.
A lot quicker than what i had to do, I had to tear one down brick by brick once because it was leaning dangerously toward the neighboring house and could've damaged it if we tried this.
+biker932012 We had to do a three story house this way because it was 5 feet from a another one. pain in the @ss
My dad does gas/utilities pipe fitting for Feeney brothers some lady's railing was fucked up and his boss gives him a iPad to take pictures so he doesn't get sued because he's the foreman
+Ajdero5 Document everything.
i agree about making the video , it looked like luck had lots to play in the fall of that brick , i would always try to get the best deal for the customer , looks like they will have to demolish that brick anyway at a extra cost , why give the customer extra expense.
its not luck its simple physics
+Roberto Castro and is it physics that made it almost hit the steps ,, lol , looks like to me the brick chimney bounced toward the steps when it should have been away from the steps , just saying what i see in the vid.
We have dropped other structures just like that.
nice work
Thanks!
great info
If it was me. I would have used a couple chains or straps and lifted it up and then away from the structures.
But being a chimney it might have crumbled.
Although it looked like it stayed together in one piece even after hitting the ground.
Not advice, it's just that the way it was done looked to risky. Even though it worked out.
That looked like pure luck that it didn't hit that sunroom.
We have brought them down many times before.
What about permits? The owner... that sort of thing...not for the meak... glad it worked out.
Who would have been responsible if your equipment was damaged?
+Brennan Arrell Me.
Cowboys. That agreement is worthless in court. You pulled the chimney.
Better than nothing though....
good job
+john d Thank you!
Smart move!
Interesting video but the music was too loud.
it's so sad that as a society we even have to do this these days
Yes- its sad
i do take pic and record helps too much covering you and makes you much reputable and honest.
should I put a best time to contact me hours on my lawn care dlyer
+Jesus Granados No- you want them to call whenever -not at a convenient time for you which may be inconvenient for them.
Good video!!!!!
+dearswood12345 Thanks!
nice job
Thank you!
Poor some chocolate on it and let the big guy eat it!! Don't need the excavator!!
Why don't you have rototilts? You could do some of the jobs you do with only an excavator instead of an excavator and skidsteer..
Watched with Closed Captions.... LMBO
I like what I've been seeing, so I sub'd.
Thank you!
it would of been safer by hand ,but if it's hooked up to a backhoe boom why not just lift straight up an out. and set it were ever they want. I'm jus saying.
I have had it go wrong doing it like that
it's funny the title says caught on tape cameras don't use tape anymore.
LOl true!
How many hamburgers did THAT take?
hahaha ;)
I WOULD HAVE SAID NO I CANT SORRY.
I noticed the fish symbol on the truck at around 2:00. I'd love to have my own christian business!
God Bless!
Should have played the Benny hill theme
haha- yes!
Dude lol.... ugh really? I remove Chimneys all the time on colonial homes here in the northeast. This would take 1 man 30 minutes with a 10 lb sledge and a breaker bar. and you would have NO damage and you look way more professional. I am sure doing that chimney they way you did was very expensive vs. one man.
But hey, to each their own.
You are extremely lucky it didnt fell in the windows on the right!
True!😃
I like it!
+JC'sLawnTips Thanks!
CYA= Cover Your Accountability (ya we say ass)
Lmao could of done it by hand with no damage....
Ink is not cheap, look at the price per gallon.
I don't do favors. I been in business too long. I am on a job site to make MONEY, otherwise I would be some where else doing one of my dozen hobbies I have...if I am on a JOB, MONEY will be exchanged for services....nothing else and I do not horse trade. MY exchange medium is solely CASH!!!
Is that one guy really doing demo work in sweatpants?
he said he hired u did he
What if you damaged your own equipment or one of your men was injured? Lawyers are pieces of sh**. This would not hold up in court.
Agreed-about the lawyers
Damn good idea of vid. plus working together with other subs makes for a more pleasant job..but..extras are always where to make more money (usually quickly ) than expected. I've had jobs that I made more on extras than original total job..nothing wrong with that..
I believe the term is "Putting on the rape cape" is what is commonly spoke of, when a contractor comes across "unforeseen" items and begins gouging for the change orders.
"I've 'had' jobs"..... Speaks volumes.
Gun Runner yeah,how you gonna run a business make a living doing everyone who ask a favor?
Tom Parshall obviously you are clueless
Gun, Tom was actually making a point to help you.
Kevin Cummings. thanks. I retired 2 yrs ago. at 53. Guess I did ok my way. if you have any arthritis cure I'm all for it. it's not always hot and dry here in Henderson
IF A CONTRACTOR SHOWS UP WITH OUT HARD HATS THEN ASK YOU TO MAKE A RECORDING SAYING THAT THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING RISKY WHICH MAY END UP BAD RUN THOSE SCABS OFF YOUR PROPERTY
👍😃
flyer*
Its not a hard job but why in the world would you want to get involved anyway.. BTW just because they are saying they will take the blame does not absolve you from your actions of pulling it down
Just trying to help out. didn't want to do it.
Lol, ink isn't cheap! I guess that depends on who you are. Maybe your talking about contracts. We all know why those exist
that was fun
+Tim Linden :)
WHY am i watching a video of a video? WTF
you really shouldn't have done it anyway.. Bad Contractor.
Why? I was trying to help out another contractor who was less experienced and undermanned to handle it. Favors aren't bad to do-just try to protect yourself..
baller
newbie
first ! boom !!
+James Broadbent Boom back baby!
