Jimmy's golfing. Setting the ball on the tee.

Merry Christmas from Maine To The Top Crane 🎄🎅🎆

That was... interesting! And the dog roaming around - lol!! I bet everyone loved that! Have a Great Christmas you and your family! Thanks for the video!

Great video as usual Jimmy. Very interesting to me anyway, since I don’t know much about crane work. Keep the great content coming. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Awesome pre xmas video there and a challenging one too at that!! Hope you have a good peaceful safe Christmas there and see you on the flip side

Another great video. Looking forward to more.

Pretty cool video Jimmy. That was interesting to watch. Thanks so much for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and yours. God Bless!!

You put out great content! I was just getting into the hoisting side before I quit operating full time. I love watching your videos. It makes me a little sad I didn't pursue the crane business!

That was different. Great job on the video. Merry Christmas

Built a few of those back in the day. Tankees hanging steel.

Shout out from Portland Oregon Jimmy!

hey jimmy, both of the last 2 video's were great. first thing I thought was how to release the rigging on the the first lift, ladder in the pipe have to have a way to inspect from time to time. have a great holiday if you don't get a chance to post again. take care and will wait for the next.

Hi Jimmy, thanks for another great video. It amazes me how you manage to do what you bearing in mind the weight / size of the loads you handle and the quality of the hand signals you get from the operators. Sometimes there seem to be several guys giving you signals or the person signalling changes during a lift. I know there are standard signals but do you discuss who is going to give you instructions before the lift? Seems confusing to me; all that and loose dogs on the site as well. Anyway thanks for the entertainment you have provided in 2020 for us all and happy Christmas and New Year to you and your loved ones from Nottingham, U.K.

Good video nice job Jimmy. Happy holidays to you and your family

About a week’s worth of water for the community. That tower can last for forty years, then a replacement or supplement will be needed by then.

Very interesting to say the least.

interesting lift, have a safe and enjoyable Christmas!!

Sir Jimmie !! Great video !!! Don't think I would be the guy inside the tower !!!! Anyhows,, All went well even with the rain !!! Have a great "" MERRY CHRISTMAS "" With Family & Friends !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!

On lifting the first peice, with what appeared to be a 4 line config on the block, do I understand correctly that with that set up, each cable would be holding 10k, and your winch would have been pulling 10k, but your boom is lifting/holding the whole 40k.

Jimmy I just found your video. Great job as always. I hope you have new windshield wipers by now. When you have to hold that much weight for such a long time do the hydraulics or winches want to settle down at all so they need to be readjusted? I hope you had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

good crane op! im a crane op from england and i dont mean this in an insult in any way but if we operated this slow on sites everyone would go mental, over here they want everything 100mph, always enjoy your content keep it up!

👍👍

Like the dog being a supervisor 😄😄😄. Great video from you. Merry Christmas to you and your family. If starts to rain bad , do you have to quit the lift. Jimmy do you stay warm in the cab with all those windows.

Good video, what I would like to see more of is the crane setup. Meaning site inspection, placement and configuration .I know you have done that in the past but each site is different and that I find interesting.

NIce Video!! When the ecrew is welding and the crane is still attached to the tower are you allowed out of the cab of the crane or do you have to stay in the cab. Seems like it would be a long day sitting there waiting on them to weld the seams together.

Nice job..

How much travel of the cable does one of the clicks we here indicate? Thanks for the video.👍

Anyone besides me notice the top wiper blade was keeping beat with the music when the video playback was sped up?

How would you handle it if you got hit with a side wind or unexpected lightning in the area while you were holding something that was being welded on? Not like you can just put the crane down in the middle of welding right?

Hey Jimmy! Great video as usual bud, Merry Christmas to all at your place from here. What music are U using? I like it! Work safe, keep warm, be kind. Doug@ the "ranch"

Are you sure that not for Mosque . lol Merry Christmas,Hope you have a Busy, Safe, Profitable, Healthy New Year

Why did that guy beat the base of the stem with a hammer? Getting out some frustrations?

Doggo trust your cables without wearing a hard hat! :D Nice church bell also. Combined with a water tower? Why not lower the tower part over the Porta Potti and then go for lunch?

Damnit! who brought there kid and gave them a hammer! put him in time out for that noise! :)

Sorry I disappeared for so long brother. Life’s been quite the adventure. I’m back now lol. My phone number changed so I’ll figure out how to get back in touch soon! Been catching up on your videos a bunch here lately.

That big ball looks like a hot air balloon

Hi love your video

I love the humming of the crane as it sits there idling...lovely.

Does the drum rotation sensor work in conjunction with the Parts of line, to give an accurate measurement each time it clicks. For example if you have 4 parts of line, to move one foot takes a lot longer then a single line. Great videos By the way!

Is the pickup point on the tube set up carefully enough that it's dead plumb, or is some sort of adjustment made prior to final welding? Merry Christmas, by the way. Interesting video.

Would color coding the line at given boom configurations be worthwhile when figuring out how close you are to “two blocking” or is it meaningless when taking into account for outside temperature making cable shrink/expand those few inches? (I mean, your anti-nesting camera on your cable reel can show you how many inches are left before two-blocking occurs with color coding seen on the reel through your camera)

Welding in the rain..... Still better than working at Wal-Mart.

Very interesting video. Thanks. I've wondered how they put these up. I expected a ladder on the outside, but it appears this one has a ladder inside the pipe. So when they set the ball they were inside guiding it and then welding it up? What's the purpose of the little tower on the top?

Great installation Jimmy. Do you know if the water source is a well or a river? Just curious. Take care.

Hey man if you don’t mind me asking. What’s your annual salary or hourly wage. I’m a rigger in CA and wonder what outside pay is. Thinking of getting my crane op license soon. But the salary numbers are all over the same place. Trying to figure if this is a profession I want to chase or look else where. Awesome dual crane complex lift btw. I’ve done one similar a few times.

😘👌👍

Another great video. Is the smaller crane one of your company's too... or is that a jobsite crane for the water tower people?

Just curious why the guy was banging on the end of the tube, possibly to scare out varmints or remove debris from assembly.

How long did you have to hold the ball till they got it welded and why the tower on top of ball ? 🇺🇲

You had to override the anti two block. Doesn't your crane record that? Is there legal consiguences for going past 2 block? If was just inches im sure it won't hurt anything.

That weighed a lot less than I would have thought.

Caldwell Tank ? building the water tower I have hauled a few loads for them

no stress in your job huh

Who drew the short end of the straw to unhook the cable at the top of water tower LOL

Doing that in the rain? If we got caught doing that in Australia, heads would roll. I have done emergency welding in the rain which is not fun but that was sketchy. Why are they building a water tower next to a water tower and who gets the job of painting it?

Farmers must really love Municipal or State stuff being put up in the middle of they're cornfields

Looks like another pdm water tower going up Jimmy

Rubbing is racing. I say that all the time in the crane.

How did the guy inside get out?

Working in the rain and you don't even have to put on a jacket, except to walk over to the Porta-Pisser. Now I'm really jealous! It has to be nerve-wracking when you're pushing your A2B weight, and have to count on someone else as you're holding the over ride.

Who was the contractor? PDM or CBI?
