Block chimney discussion/new stainless product
I just bought two 32" ones. These things work!!
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?
Yeah not the same level😂😂 you can’t be that is why you know there is a hog 😂
Many questions
As soon as I walked up to the job, I could smell the bacon frying!
You can see the dip
We call it a PIG.🥲
Is this due to bad masonry?
is it asbestos
Did the guy stand on that part wile laying the bricks? Like work his way up and lay bricks under his feet? Idk how else you build that stuff🤷🏼♂️
Remind me of a Penrose stair.
Have you ever used the Silpro FSB? Thoughts?
Please, more info.
How does this happen? Did that north wall sink by about one level in the NE corner? Was it poor quality control? Both? Really interested in what causes this.
i think they just add to much mortar to the 1 side whats stands out
No that part has settled due to foundation shifting .
if the foundation shifts woudnt then the hole thing be still on 1 Plane but be tilted? like if just 1 of those 4 walls settls down about 8cm you have for sure structural damage right?
This guy looks like he's on drugs.😂
So it's a spiral, not a square lain tower? Is that less structurally sound?
And what is the point sir?
Do you travel to MA?
You can’t use a pitch metal ?
I love mine. I didn't trust it at first, but I learned to trust it. I couldn't do some of my jobs without the Pitch Hopper!
No one’s getting $1000/sq- I assure you. That’s ridiculous.
I wouldn’t trust that in a shed
lol, this dude looks like a crack head trying to sell you some junk he stole from someone garden shed in the early hours.
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.
She did a great job helping you! Get her a smaller saw, maybe electric to start with!!
You’re telling roofers not to do drugs?
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.
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? 🤔
Bless up Vaillancourt family. Just get it done right and safely. Good to see the youth out there learning first hand too. Much respect...
Looks fantastic! I know exactly how you feel as far as working for family. The original scope of work tends to extend itself at times. Nonetheless well done. Your boys are getting so many valuable skillets working with you!!! Now get back to masonry, looking forward to the next chimney video. God bless Chad
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.
Looks good
getting set up to work comfortable makes a worl of diffrence. i have worked off ladders all my life most of the time in not ideal conditions your set ups are great.
28.0000 for four windows .thats crazy been putting them in for 35 years iam going to have to go up on price a little bit. i do all that sideing an just about every thing .but i like to watch your chimney work your a pro .how you scafold the foof is cool
No wires in the wall? Wow you got lucky. Nice job. Family jobs just dont pay as well😂. Storm door instructions always have to change too! Its nice you did your Mom's work as some crook would do half the job and walk away. You should be proud.
Just a string of outlets under one window. It wasn't too bad.
None of my roofers do drugs
This is a safe space, bud. You can be honest here 😉
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
Update, demoed chimney, the inside base I wanted to work off of was nonexistent. It was so bad and so eroded inside we decided after speaking with homeowner to roof over it. 26 rows were essentially resting on powder that was leaning inside the wall
Wow.
Thank you for sharing. Love your video
Just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy your channel Chad. I am a commercial bricklayer in central PA, but am building a 2 8x8” flue chimney right now on weekends for a builder. 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.
Thank you! You're going to do great. We need more guys like you doing chimney work.
The reason why the previous repairs failed is because this requires a lot of work, skill, patience and pride in your work. Unfortunately, those qualities have been lost today. Great work!
Geweldig werk om de boom te vellen.
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.
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!
Thanks for your support and the kind words!
@@chadvaillancourt indeed my friend. Lifelong subscriber and supporter. Happy father's day
Pretty job. I'm a purist I would have requested using soft brick again.
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
I went with the 1/4" thick walls. Someone had said that the thinner walls may get dented if you clamp them too tight.
@@chadvaillancourt I see thank you. If you don't mind me asking, where did your f clamps, especially the one you bent to fit a header?
I got them on Amazon. The sliding F-clamps are much better than the other style.
@@chadvaillancourt Very good. Thanks Chad.
Great work man! So much attention to details. Have two questions re chimney crowns. 1.What are your thoughts about chimney crowns that overhang the brick by 2-3 inches around the perimeter? 2. Do you waterproof/seal chimney crowns? Thanks
If you stand on it just the right way😊. With no debris
Wont be long till his roofing career ends
I'm not a roofer, and I don't have a career. I bet you'd make a great detective. Really into the details.
trusting that makes you a crackhead.
