Cleaning up a mess of a house lot

[@nemo227]

I began smiling when you started complaining about the mess but I KNEW you would fix it pretty quickly. I'm SURE that all of your regular viewers felt the same. "Chris can handle it."

[@Bierrr]

Sitting here watching you throw that excavator around like it's nothing makes it look so easy. Just incredible. Loving the videos!

[@Crappiestalker]

I feel your pain going in after someone starts a job but has no clue of the mess they have started. I like to start my on job and finish. Good job on the clean up.

You should take up the motto we use on the job.....we do it nice cuz we do it twice...😄

Thanks for including Tim in the video it’s always nice to see what he is up to

[@stanpatterson5033]

Don't be too hard on Uncle John, nobody is perfect. I'm sure he meant well, trying to get a little jump-start on the project.

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

I thought you liked playing in the mud! LOL! Something tells me you’re going to have some more tree work to do after the Sunday storm.

[@kirk467]

I like how you know all the different trees too! I’d love to get some of the wood for grilling! But you know your stuff on the trees brother! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@alabama7636]

Sometime I feel more like a janitor at my job to. Just want to tell the other guy just sit in the corner I got this.

[@alexmodern6667]

Chris since since it seems that you come across a lot of trees taking them out cut them up etc... you might consider getting some type of a small tractors something with a chainsaw attachment type thing there's a lot of stuff out there I believe might save you some time be a lot quicker because they just buzzed right through them trees I don't know it's just a thought? Love your Videos... It really nice to see somebody that knows how to do the job right and is proud of their work I see a lot of trashy work done sometimes and have to wonder how it's allowed but that's life

You should have your uncle explain himself on camera. That would be funny.

He should also ban his uncle from running the excavators and make him the truck driver. Or just hide all the keys

Hey Chris Thanks for All the videos Great job Much better than the junk that's on TV ! Unless u like the Kardouchens !!!!

[@chrislangdell117]

I know you wish you had more power. Try putting a frost ripper hook on the excavator. It multiplies the force by focusing it in a much smaller area. It will pop those roots like cat tails. Not to mention you wont tear up your bucket pins and. Bushings. As well as the bucket linkage as much or nearly as fast. Might I suggest showtime fabrication to custom build your ripper hook or your next Hydraulic thumb. He build amazing high quality excavator stuff its as tough as nails and he takes great pride in his work. Look him up. You'll be glad you did.

[@thequattro20v]

Next time Tim should do a video of you entering the site first time, now that would be intresting to hear. :)

When I was a kid I lived in Big Bear at the time a small mountain town in the San Bernardino mountains of SoCal there was a tree called ironwood it lived up to it's name it tore up chainsaw teeth and weighed a ton but it burned hot and lasted a long time a good sized log would last all night I watched M&W Construction do a lot of house pads and lot clearing for dad with a 755 ford backhoe and a 955L track loader

I'v been wondering where the 250 is as well. But the thing that left my mouth hanging open is the root systems that these trees that you were taking out today. Is it my imagination or did those trees have more and thicker roots that the white and red oaks? Even some of the pines that you usually have to deal with ?

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Your uncle sounds like my dad the faster he went the slower the actual job became. In his haste to get it done the cleanup efforts were doubled so the in overall the job took longer to finish. But in his defense he learned to slow down enough that we met in a compromise. May not be enough time to do it right but there’s always time to do it over he would say. Great content 👍

[@stamrly418]

Not a good start to the day for you and Tm. But got it well on the way to be sorted now! I always hated taking over a job that was started by others. You never know what plan was in the head of he guy that left. If there was a plan... may be the only plan was to get to the end of the day when A N Other would take it all on. It looks as if you always have a plan... one that often changes due to conditions the best way.. keep up you explanations it allows the rest of us to get and have “that’s why he did X Y or Z” moments of realisation. Keep it up I / we like it Amacf

Holy mess. Obviously he’s never heard of the motto “do it right the first time”. Where do you get rid of your brush? Places I dump would never take it with all that dirt/mudd/god knows what else in it. And I damn sure ain’t stuffin it through my chipper. I’m sure he meant well but having to do shit twice justs cost time and money. Nice equipment btw
