    Would it be OK to use 3 pieces of 8 inch lead to construct the front apron to cover up roofing cement stains? It would cover about 13 inches in the front and the sides would also be longer. Some pieces would exceed 20 inches. Is this too much to cover?

    Tree climbing arborist like Reg Coates sometimes use a battery chainsaw so this may be an option for your daughter when she gets older they are definitely quieter, lighter, and are always ready mechanically no fuel or engine issues to deal with. Nice to have for light work.

    I think your daughter wants a 261 for Christmas. Expensive, but that would be awesome. Most of the arborist community does a Rick Barry free throw underhand toss of the throw bag. Boring. Your daughter could have earned her pay with a baseball + eye screw throw weight. Long time ago I used a lacrosse ball as a throw line weight, it was fun but I never got good at placing my shots on branches. The most important attribute for an arborist is foot speed, to get the hell out of the way. You're young and skinny, probably able to dodge most falling objects.

    • @chadvaillancourt
      @chadvaillancourt 5 днів тому

      Lol, yes, I'm very capable of getting out of the way still. Jerry Berenek is the best I've ever seen throw a line; It's really something to behold. Obviously, this is an easy one, but I'm really out of practice. I'm lazy, I use a Bigshot for most things. My daughters will learn on my top-handle saw just like the boys did. Maybe I'll buy her a 661 for a graduation present? 🤔

    great job as always, but getting rid of those steps and change it to just one walkway made out of concrete or the same pavers, from the door to the road and your mom will always be thankful for it. I enjoy watching your videos, I am a brick mason but I also do pretty much everything too, after so many years doing construction I've learn one thing: making it as smooth as possible for elderly to go into their houses is the best improvement for them, even if they planning to sell the house, having nice and smooth walkway or even a wheel chair ramp will make it easier to sell the house, thanks for the videos man.

    Appreciate this, About to do my first chimney next week. Taking it down to roof and building it back half the height to match the chimney on other side of house. It’s not active, has no flue. Going to rebuild with existing brick that are in the best shape and poor a cap. Currently there is nothing keeping the weather out, it’s leaning and almost a dozen bricks have fallen and are lying on the roof

It’s a bit out of my normal element, but I got a lot of insight from your videos and appreciate your knowledge of the trade.

    Firemen like carbide chains for cutting through asphalt shingles to open holes in burning houses. Probably the best use for carbide chains. I have a top handle Tanaka that I'm really happy with. Cheaper than a Stihl, but good quality. Best thing about Stihl is resale value. Guys ask for more than they paid for ten-year old saws.

    • @chadvaillancourt
      @chadvaillancourt 13 днів тому

      Yeah, I was extremely disappointed in the carbide chain. Lesson learned. I've never tried the Tanaka, I don't think we have any dealers around my area. I've had really good luck with my Stihl products, but someone talked me out of buying the 201t and trying the t540. Again, lesson learned.

    Wow what a coincidence. I've been a mason for 30 years, however prior to my entering the trade my plan was to become a woodcutter. I grew up cutting and processing wood as well as 4 years in the forestry program in northern New Hampshire. Nonetheless we have much in common. I've been following and watching your videos for about a year. Good stuff!! God bless Chad!

    Hi Chad, How thick did you get your aluminum profiles made? I got a few cut at 3/16 and am surprised how heavy they turned out. The prices at my local metal supplier didn't vary much based on thickness. They would be great for building a house but wondering if I could go with a lighter weight in the future for chimneys. Cheers, Sam
