WHY WE STARTED TO MANUFACTURE CONCRETE POSTS - Day In The Life Of D&J

[@an-N-and-an-E-and-a-Wubble-U-C]

Absolutely no interest in fencing whatsoever - until a few hours ago, now I'm hooked and subbed

[@DJProjectss]

That’s amazing! Thanks for being here!!

[@annastarkey9284]

Me too.😊

[@laviniajohnson9210]

The good thing here is that you CAN do the job so understand the process and any potential problems. Too many bosses cannot do jobs they expect their workforce to do. Good on you!

[@fitchikalina7507]

Top Man. You and your family business show what can be achieved with determination, hard work and enterprise. Not forgetting your staff who help make it all possible. Its amazing to think you have done all this in such a short time.

[@michaelknowles2212]

You deserve to do well. It’s nice to see someone who isn’t going to be messed around, now makes all his own products, that’s what makes you stronger sir, well done.

[@davidwhite4195]

Thank you Michael 🙏

[@sanad7770]

HI, I've been watching several of your videos and am very impressed with you quality of merchandise, as well as your consideration towards your customers. You all work very hard and care about what you do.This is such a change from the normal "take-it-or-leave-it" and "couldn't-care-less-shrug" attitude. Well done :)) I really pray you will flourish even more during 2022.

[@stuartflin6309]

Fascinating! Thank you D&J.

[@eaccristo]

Enjoy watching. Loved seeing your skills!! And the laugh when you were unaware of being filmed. Enjoy and understand completely your motivation...I am the same way...tell me I can not do it....I will do it ten different ways. Everything is coming together and looks great..

Thanks so much!

I thought that I’d go right back to one of the first videos of yours that I watched and got hooked on it hard to believe that it was e years ago how things have changed your both more at ease in front of the camera and the content is even better than it was. Well done and here’s to the next ten years of D&J Projects again Well done! Here’s to the next ten years of D&J Projects and your growth is amazing CHEERS🍻🍻🥂🍾

Maybe one day!

[@CalamityKim1]

I’ve just stumbled across your vids today. Watching this one and the other video where you unpacked the block former. The company I work for move thousands of them each year. The once we move have a little steel button recessed in the top right in the middle. You then have a little 1/4 or 1/2 turn lifting thing that locks onto the button. Depending which blocks we move one or two with out 5t forklift at a time and we stack them like that in the yard when we need to offload them. If you’d like I’d be able to get some pics next week if you’d be interested.

[@davidwhite4195]

Well done guys, Props to making your own gear posts etc :)

[@gotsloco1810]

I am familiar with using the blocks for retaining wall construction and for bulk material separation. In California we frequently refer to them as Ecoblocks. What are the called else where? I like the fact your blocks can be cross stacked but I like the ones I usually see that have a loop of rebar that allows them to be picked up with a chain off a loader bucket or excavator. Your lifting frame is nice but the ability to use a “crane” seems more convenient

[@HarrySingh-gb8xq]

Great video, find the building trade fascinating and got to say the featheredge panel construction was ace! I have a question, I bought around 40 8ft posts for my garden from a local business like yours, they make their own. After their landscaper installed them along with panels the posts pretty much all cracked and broke, normal general UK weather nothing too major. When I contacted the business they told me the fitter was to blame and that he 'must've not secured the posts on his truck'. When I got someone in to replace all of these posts they said the post mix was wrong of the broken posts. Would you guys say the mix was wrong from the very limited description above OR would you say it was the fitters fault? Thanks in advance

[@DJProjectss]

Maybe one or two posts could crack in transit but all or most of them seems a bit unlikely. Sounds like the concrete mix could have been too weak, but only a guess of course because we haven’t seen them!

[@HarrySingh-gb8xq]

@@DJProjectss Thanks for your reply. This was exactly what I said to the business and they refused to accept any responsibility, a shame really as it shows what the company does when s**t goes wrong. They were cheap and I learnt my lesson the expensive way, £8 per 8ft post. I did manage to find a decent company after who did a grand job just a shame this company didn't face up to any errors on their part. Anyway thanks again for your reply and keep the videos coming, as one of your other viewers said your videos make better viewing than Sky TV!

[@cyberprog]

Just a couple of tips; 1) Don't refer to those blocks by the L word. The people that own that trademark get upset - Ashville had issues when their channel took off as they make them too. 2) Watch out for the music on in the warehouse - KZbin might pick that up and mute the audio out, or demonetise a video. Otherwise keep up the good work :D
