Man you have patience, I would have been looking for a way to fix that fricking seat before that first truck left.

On the bright side though you make some really good videos for me to watch on the phone while I'm waiting for the damn frenchie cause he got lost again, anyways keep your tracks spinning and the ladies grinning good buddy. Stay safe.

But I really do not know of any trained painter and decorator that understand the reason for doing things in a particular order, what they are is paint thrower, they

I'm sure the CanOSH would love to give "fluffy" a talking to because of his proximity to the swing and the lack of a friggin' hard hat in a construction zone. Also, I'm more than certain that the owner of that pipeline SHOULD HAVE been informed and present during construction, so that company safety guidelines are followed...

@vantagetes 9 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure you should look up some facts before you make yourself look like a fool, the utility owner came out before the work started, there was a crossing agreement in place and the spotter is not in the swing zone nor has any overhead hazards.

vantagetes these dummies got no clue commenting on shit with no experience. Crap, you were lucky enough to even have a spotter that can locate it for you. down in miami firstly no one speaks english, they don't pay and no one knows anything. I'm always digging with very very rough understandings of where all my utilities are, I just spent a week clearing and grubbing without locates and ontop of existing drainage. it's insane. But we get shit done. Thats the industry standard no matter how non-PC it is..

I've been the spotter, I've been the hoe hand, I've been the truck driver over many miles of pipe laying and the biggest problem is always communication. When everybody knows their job, it goes off smooth. Maybe somebody needs to own the truck travel path mixup. Over hp gas or fiber I pothole every hundred feet for cya. That seat would piss me off quick. My Hitachi has a wonderful seat, but the joysticks are too low and non adjustable so ya gotta sit with yer knees together somewhat.

@norWISequipment It got hydrovaced (basically a truck with a pressure washer and a big suction hose) which is a non destructive method of digging. Once the pipeline was found we took shots off the top of the pipe to see how much cover we had on top.

I have never had a seat shift around like that. What a POS. I ran a Volvo EC240C all last week and it has been my favorite of all time, even more so than the Cats and Deere's. It was so smooth, quiet, resposnive and strong that it was not even what I would consider "working" for a living. Such a sweet running machine. This fucking thing is like a stone age hoe compared to it.

*facepalm* my "spotter" was directing the trucks to come in backwards so I'd either have to stop them way ahead or swing over the cab. That's why I was swearing at him, that's not how to load trucks! After I sorted it out they drove around the correct way like you see in the video.

change the colour of the surface or the age of the paint by loading as much paint, as poss’, often without even stirring it, onto any surface and think they have a skill, quite simply they do not. No one ever tells them, what should be done by, again a properly trained site agent, so these guys go from job to job doing something that makes no damn difference like painting lamp post, think they know it all and when asked to ‘cut in they give a blank look! A bit like untrained staff on your site.

@falouchelo Your feller bunches has carbide teeth spinning at 20,000 rpm, an excavator does not. Your road builder knocks down trees, loading trucks does not have branches crashing down. If he were UNDER my bucket there would be a hardest requirement. As he is outside my swing radius and there is no overhead hazard he doesn't need one!

Do you own a car? What if it exploded in the garage? Or someone drove through your house? It's not common that sour gas lines run through subdivisions, you're more likely to notice that rotten eggs smell every once in awhile more than the risk of blowing up. I personally keep a tinfoil hat in the house. It protects against mind reading, alien attack and H2S.
