made the decision we're hauling the boom-lift over to the job site so we can
get that side of roof done but they're calling snow all week and so we just
want to make sure we get this roof on get closed up so I'll see you guys at
site
alright we're on site and we just got the boom-lift unloaded and we're gonna
start framing up this back fascia tails and whatnot so now we've got the mrt 260
over there's the I think that's 450 AJ so it's a 40-foot boom with a 5-foot jib
which is really handy when you want to stick out somewhere 40 feet but then
have that extra 5 foot of like up and down so you can really like almost get
up and then lower your boom down into a nice area
Greg's uh beat us to site cuz we had to load up the machinery so he's looks like
you got almost the fascia done huh Greg awesome
what Oh Greg's working hard this morning must uh what's that 20:19 Greg's
actually gonna work hard this year great that is hey that is good news my friend
thank you you know we all grow we all develop and Greg's Greg's turned into a
quite a fine post framer I don't know if it's gonna really focus but there's a
6-foot deep trench right behind me and a bunch of frozen dirt that we can't drive
the lift I was able to kind of prep this area right here with the skid loader I
had to bust into some frozen piles of dirt that way we can at least get the 33
94 mega deck there with the steel on the roof or for the roof and then I also
prepped this area here so that we get the 260 and thankfully worked out
because there's a tree right here challenges it's never it's never just
quite perfectly easy there's always something on every job and I believe
will overcome it today we will get this roof on it's kind of hazy it's really
crummy out right now but there's no wind so it's good for roofing and this little
bit of moisture in the air will actually provide us with some good traction with
our sneakers up there so we always use a sneaker people always are like oh nice
safety toed boots on the roof why would you wear a pair of boots on the roof
what are you gonna drop on your toe I suppose if you're on a you know
commercial site where they require that but out here
we're worried more about being say which is good traction and I haven't I
haven't really used a pair of boots with steel toes that are superbly made for
roofing but I know there are some brands out there so give me your guys's
thoughts if there's a great roofing boot but here's the other side of it we like
to have a dedicated pair of shoes specifically for roofing that we keep in
the trailer and we only put on when we get up on the metal roof that way we can
be sure that we're gonna keep it clean and free of scratches maybe if there's a
little rock in your boot hmm my phone's ringing what do you know now we just got
to drive it all the way over to our scissor lift the 3394 it's really sloped
back there dirt work didn't get done phenomenally the weather was crummy so
now we got to kind of deal with it and that's no big deal that's why I bought
that boom lift was for the job sites just like this I put it in my bed to
have 12 feet of clear space
doesn't always happen and I always struggle with whether I'm gonna charge a
customer for that after it says it in the contract or if I'm just going to
kind of let it go I kind of always wait and try to determine how much time it
lost us and so far I mean everything we're doing is basically the same and my
guess is it'll add a couple hours to the job not being able to run that
scissor-lift straight through that wall but
thankfully I've got this machinery the helps me do the job
sometimes I think it's crazy that we have to scissor lifts a boom lift skid
loader and they're all here on this jobsite which typically I would never
bring that much machinery onto one job site but what's what's important about
that is just that each one of them has like a different purpose the mega deck I
mean that thing is like all-purpose we want to use that all the time when we
can but it can't do everything it's too wide to fit between trusses so we need
this 260 mrt in order to like really safely and efficiently hang trusses and
mrt also is like that secondary lift that we keep on site just for we got
three guys and we're not all gonna sit in one lip because that's not very
efficient so most of our work is up in the air as soon as the building is
framed so we've got to have that lift for that secondary purpose and then the
boom lift I kind of bought that just because sometimes we deal with
residential areas that are just not conducive to big open sites
I hate hauling it it's not really that great to work out of because it's not
that big but it definitely puts you in places that you would never get with the
scissor lift and it avoids me from having to use a ladder so you gotta have
the right piece of machinery for the right job and maybe I think I will do a
video in the future of all these machinery pieces you know costs and
ideas and thoughts on them and let me know down below in the comments if
that's a video you guys would like to see
baby baby baby YouTube and now that's overrated my voice is all you need is
big here I am thinking we're friends we are friends
so now the real fun begins because we've got to now Greg is going to be in the
3394 and he's going to be picking up and turning the sheets of steel that zach is
gonna take them oh he's I hate wearing harnesses speaking of speaking of see if
I can reach this flexibility is not my strong point
anymore your straps turned away thanks buddy
Gibby all right now we're good Zach's gonna take the sheets up then
we're gonna walk them over and then I've got here I'm in the jail g450 which is
the boom-lift and that's gonna we're gonna get over this we're gonna get over
this pit I'm working underneath so over top
you find find that balance point that even quicker
you don't got to get all four off to it the most that way YouTube doesn't think
I am lazy or anything oh dude the tube is gonna be like Greg even work oh
that's a beautiful tank dude beautiful thing Wow
well we made it to the center area where we had to use the boom-lift now we're on
to the 260 MRT so I'm super thankful we got all this different equipment because
way over there we still got the 3394 holding all the machine holding the
sheets for don't move we got to do a little bit of a dance here with the
sheets but it's working out pretty good
so you know I think when we started this job we were like how are we gonna do
that backside man the the dirts froze and we can't flatten it out there's a
big pit and tile or whatever trench in our way and I think you know you always
find out a way to do it this didn't work out too bad
I bet it added a couple hours to our day but in the end we're gonna get it done
it's not that big of a deal ahead just coach well like like normal
we worry about nothing this really wasn't that hard wasn't even that big of
a deal
hmm always cool win customer message is you a previous customer they're watching
your YouTube channel so you never know huh maybe my my next customer is
watching this right now so that's kind of cool I don't usually
get this kind of time because I'm spinning turn and screwing and just
working the whole time but this is kind of nice like a boy's life one then it's
lunchtime that's my motivation I'm hungry
move please you're fine there's not a thing on here
I need to make sure great Cory it's good oh yeah money what am I worried about
Greggy you get like one through the middle there at least you know that
first just get one right there through the middle yeah and then I'll meet you
guys down go get some lunch
sure feels good to get that roof done now when we come back from lunch we can
go ahead and finish screwing the roof off and who knows maybe we can start
putting some of that side steel on the north side be a pretty great way to end
the day with three sides of Steel done the roof done and then bring out in the
snowstorm whatever it is what it is not a whole lot today after fighting that
north side of the roof we were able to get our bottom wainscot on that north
side our house wrap on the north side and then we kind of spent the rest of
the day buttoning up all of our loose ends getting a lot of screws done we did
get the ridge cab done on the roof I was taking a business call so I didn't get
that on camera unfortunately but no big deal you've seen us do that before the
last day before the weekend before this snow storm we can tidy up a lot get a
lot buttoned up on the outside and hopefully put as much steel on this
building as possible to keep it you know away from as much weather as possible
because that's just gonna make our lives easier in the future when we start doing
our interior work I'm gonna keep screwing you got a lot of screws to put
in this building and we'll see you guys tomorrow
