There are comments stating "hire Americans etc.". These men ARE AMERICANS! They have lived here most of their lives. They pay taxes and I would (an DO), trust my life to them. This is a really hard working group of people that I care about like family. Speaking Spanish? I try and they teach me. They are proud of their heritage and are not ashamed of who they are.

+arboristBlairGlenn I think you should just delete the racist comments rather than try to debate over it. After all, it's your channel, yours to manage the experience of your viewers who came here to view your work, and however you choose. What these people are talking about is not really doing anything to enhance discussion of the actual substance of the video. So, therefore, it's not really even a free speech issue as much as what's your objective in coming on here. Just one man's opinion, anyway.

While I'm on a role here, as a Commercial Construction Superintendent, I have found that most Americans tend to play games with safety rather than just follow the rules. "Foreigners'", whether they become citizens or not, tend to follow the rules because they Are the rules that allow them to work. They take rules and work seriously. There are good naturally born American workers of course, but on average, I've had more trouble keeping them in line in regard to safety and a good work ethic.

Interesting problem to overcome, nicely done too. One thing that struck me as being a little risky was when the tree was clear of the house the bough that was removed and hit the wooden railing was suspended by a rope from another bough on the trunk. The shock when the dropped bough came to the end of its rope may have caused the main trunk to have come off its support - particularly as the force transmitted to the main trunk was a turning force...

Good idea, but the bottom timber should've had cleats nailed into it to prevent the legs from spreading. And I would use 2x6 crossmembers on BOTH sides.

The work force in our nation has undergone a tidal change within less than two generations. It has swept in a culture of elitism through homogeneous approaches to any given craft and trade. The mediocre can now simple get on board with the best this, or the safest that, and be allowed to feel as if they have earned the high road, when in fact, all they have done is chosen the path of least resistance. Having enough dignity to spare for the other guy, who's struggle to earn a living may be different than one's own, is a lost function of the once healthy respect for work, in general.

Lol..that is what "Make America Great Again" means! There is a segment of this society that needs an advantage to compete. They had it since this country was formed. It has not been taken away, but the dynamics of a world that does not need this country as it used to, means higher paying jobs, that were unskilled labor, are eroded. If you cannot find the time to train yourself for the future, because it will not be a dominant world controlled by this country, you lose out. In the incoming administration, someone is going to be shafted. How are you going to shaft people, that were never a part of this society? LOL, they are used to the BS you spew..... That finger is pointing at you! LOL.. This administration will jam YOU, and blame the previous for things they promised, but will NEVER happen. The happy days are gone, and you have no one to blame...but yourself. No use trying to tell you to "wake up", you do not WANT to wake up, you want an advantage that just is not there anymore, unless you are incredibly wealthy! Joe, your post is spot on! They want to blame everyone, but where the problem lies...within themselves. Good job on the tree work though.. I have did a few like that, yet the tree was not heavy enough to merit a creation of an "A" frame to hold it. We just cut it back, starting from the top, until the pressure was released. Then we went to town on it!! LOL

Chainsaws are not a toy, experience cannot prepare you for the damage they can do to your body.. nor can it mitigate the chances of that occurring. Some of the most seasoned fallers and lumberjacks I know have suffered injuries after being long enough in the trade simply because they become complacent and over confident.

About "not trusting your own construction". How is anyone to know beforehand what you have constructed will support a weight you are only guessing at? How do you really know if you have used enough nails, nails or the correct material and size. How do you really know the geometry you have chosen to use is correct? You are making quite a few assumptions when the price of being wrong is much too high. You can shame a man into saying "yes I am sure it will hold" when all the man is doing is trying to get you off his back. If you know all the facts about your materials, the weight you are trying to support, the compaction of the base soil,and sure that some freak wind does not suddenly blow in then you can say,"yes I am sure" but not using this shade tree" method.

Dan R okay, tell me how YOU would have done this
@danr51057 жыл бұрын
My complaint was the "boss" popping off with "don't you trust your own construction" when the worker expressed concern about cobbing together those supports. There is no way the worker could be expected to know how much weight his supports could hold and they could only roughly estimate how much weight they were trying to support. What do you do when people's lives depend on a structure who's design you are simply "winging it" with,you over build. Yes that's right, you overbuild and still keep your fingers crossed. Now if you really cared about eliminating risk you bring in equipment but the old "we do not have the money for that" gets in the way. Never the money to be as certain as possible your men do not get hurt but when there is an accident money is found for paying the widows and fatherless children a settlement.

+Jonathan Hill thanks, we sort all options but sometimes, the clients budget is also a factor. We do crane jobs often

How many people commenting are fellow arborists or just racists?

Lot of Arborists are subscribers and many have a problem with the men I hire as being Hispanic. These men are my crew that I trust my life to.

+arboristBlairGlenn You and your crew do a great job with what you have to work with, you've had some crazy ones for sure. Whoever shows up to work on time and does the best job gets the check simple as that lol.

+arboristBlairGlenn don't let these guys get to you. a good crew is hard to find. I know as I do this work as well and most of our help is white guys that are drunks and meth heads or have several dui. and if you get a college boy the don't hang because the work is too much for them.

+Ryans Empire thanks Ryan. I will defend my crew and really don't like the comments that seem to put them down for who they are. Mexicans are a proud people and these three guys are some of the hardest working men I know. I don't just hire Hispanics. There are four members of my crew who are not.
