No Occupancy! (Unsafe structures displacing residents) Mammoth 2023

This video starts out with more early morning trucking as the day moves on. We got a call for an unsafe structure… got a crane called out tried to remove the chimney but it broke in half… then Mike got out the foot wedge and pushed down. Hopefully we will get signed off and get these displaced tenants back in there homes. Finished off the day in Bakersfied at the ranch.

thank you

[@Kim-sg4kn]

You guys are GREAT!

[@francisdelaney2228]

Sadie and Bud are like visiting grandkids....NO SNOW!!

[@aceyorba]

Drove through mammoth on Thursday. What a train wreck. Going to take a while to recover from this season.. Ranch looks awesome

[@charlesowens9784]

Thanks for the video happy Easter

[@gobbletegook]

Several months ago, when I started watching this, I (and many others) kept talking about the snow loads on the roofs. But so many people would be naysayers and would keep saying how the roofs in that area were constructed to handle it. I guess that I was always one of those "told you so" types. So many roofs will, at the very least, be leaking like a sieve by the time this season is over. Not to mention the damage done from water backing up the shingles from the ice dams. It would be interesting if you could show us inside more of the ones damaged or leaking

[@rainmaker3700]

There are a lot of older homes that were just meant to be "summer cabins" which will have issues and had issues in 2010-11. House that were built post 2010-11 should be fine if engineers and building officials followed the new updated engineering standards. IMO

[@MikeWilliams-nn9xh]

What is the name of the creek down by your ranch. I have land at marcel, cant remember names of creeks. Btw your videos are great. Thinking back to yahoos saying snow would be a thing of the past. Dumbasses

[@jeffholverson8294]

For the tire on the loader, get some starting ether and spray about 2-3 seconds into the tire. Toss a match at it and the mini explosion will bead the tire. Then pump it up with your compressor. Save you a whole lot of work pulling that wheel. We use this technique all the time on semi and loader tires. Good luck! Really enjoy your vids. Stay safe.

13:54 “Where’s my snow?!”

[@studiosinger]

If this happens for a few years people will be moving out of these remote areas.

[@andrewchang5531]

Troubleshooting, fixing, building, and machinery. Don’t need snow to keep this entertaining. Keep it coming brother!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I really enjoy seeing the three completely different lives that you live! I always thought that it would be amazing to live high in the Sierra where it can snow a lot and is not normally super hot in the summer, but seeing what can happen, feast or famine, has changed my mind!

[@flinch622]

Winter makes its own rules. Gotta get up at 1am to shovel the roof, so be it.

[@wellesleysmith102]

Might want to use jackhammers on the ice and snow

[@GT-mn3bx]

17:44....And in a month of no rain will be turning brown real quick...as usual.

[@theathjr]

Such a beautiful area. Until it’s 105-115 degrees haaha

[@rynearsoncats]

When you load the trucks with snow, do you fill by sight to the top or do the trucks have a weight registration censor in the cab or what?? Thanks! Cheers from Cupertino, California And Happy Easter to everyone!!!

[@snownek-6236]

who pays for all the garage door and the ac ripped of the house?

[@tedthompson3419]

That's my house in the first part of the video. Totally remodeling the house this spring so don't care about the door or A/C getting damaged.

[@TimberTramp]

Rent a glycol ground heater and loop it on those ice dams, run it overnight, double the rental charge. It’s better for the roofs…make$ while you sleep

[@tomaslindstein2386]

Why dont they use a chainsaw to cut up snow ??

[@c.thompson9771]

Beautiful!! Watch the runtime on those lil' 2 stroke plug in airpumps, overheating it would prolly kill it, and leave you stranded; so get two if runnin' it on equipment!! I've got one like yours, cheap, functional, and loud, lol! It was cheaper than another new tire, on the new set I have for Skittles, my lil' pickumup. I drive truck, with peculiar hours, so can't 😂 lite it up in the neighborhood @3AM, to even get to the yards.. . turned out that the errant screw wasn't too close to the sidewall after all, and was an able repair. Thinking that I really didn't want to try those plug kits myself, so I got it checked out 1st. Now I've got this really loud 😮 tire pump .. and a couple plug kits, lol!! 😂

[@cherylsibson2529]

There's so much snow, I don't even think the Outdoor boys could handle it. Wow!

[@briane173]

I'm sure you're thankful for all that God has blessed you with -- but there was also a LOT of hard work behind it. Enjoy your Easter.

[@optimoprimo132]

The night sky from where you have the pad must be incredible.

[@BroncoRS1]

34:56 Passenger front tire mounted the wrong way.

[@susankenney7536]

Why not use a flame thrower and melt it close to homes.

[@dougthompson8945]

You can get those valves they freeze easy.Keep one on hand.I disconnect line in winter and depress flush pedal a few times or just take it out.Etrailer should have what you need.Chances are you have a spare toilet.

[@paulharvey1947]

Can't imagine having to deal with that much snow. New residents could get into trouble REAL QUICK.

[@goldielocks2621]

Have you never heard of a long tail shovel with a pointed nose, it would make quicker work on digging out the snow and a whole lot easier on the workers, maybe you are charging by the hour. Every year the stores here offer square mouth snow shovels as they call them and they sit and they sit, no one buys them. Even the Army use pointed shovels and in your business, digging with a point rather than a square will do less harm when you hit something valuable like a vehicle

[@lauchieburton5592]

Great video nice to get away from ❤all that snow, have great Easter weekend

[@myopinionsonly1221]

Snow is finally starting to melt in tahoe and the things being unburied are wild . Tons of cars,shopping carts ,mailboxes ,trash ,trash cans ,huge tree limbs,cable wires . Bikes .. ans so much more and all the dirty snow looks like a battle zone … your videos helped me get thru this winter ❄️ 😊

[@MB12116]

Today was lousy.

[@missingremote4388]

I expect it to melt too

[@jackmundo4043]

Ive never seen anything like this . Not even close. I watch in total awe.

[@GT-mn3bx]

13:19 Sadies turn back look thinking: This is number 1 BS. No snow. 13:51. Poor girl looking around like WTH is this?

[@billsrq1788]

It'll be August maybe even September before all the snow is gone. Hello from Siesta Key Florida

[@angelcat7753]

So glad spring is finally showing itself. I told my guy just after Christmas, I wanted to live in the snow...love it. But now after watching these videos I am like "I'm good where I'm at"

[@larrybenson902]

That looks like a PWM solar charger - look at a MPPT charger - I changed mine out and it works better and I think it is better on may lead acid battery. Love your videos!!

[@markchidester9233]

How big of a deposit did the greedy SOB’s have you make this time.

[@brakel8r]

The time of winter/spring when "FUN" turns to "I'UGLY"

[@Awalker5000]

Its amazing what 'Mother Nature' can do to man made structures.... Keep up the good fight on the snow.... 😳👍

[@davedavis662]

I have to imagine many homes buried in snow will flood when the melt happens. Water always seeks the lowest point , with as deep as so much of the area is there’s going to be a lot of new indoor swimming pools.

[@kellykonoske91]

Looks like Heaven to me Buddy! You guys take care. Todd Konoske the retired trucker.

[@franklincheney3653]

I hope Owen gets a fat per-diem bonus to use at Carl's Jr. Pretty sure Sadie and Bud would like him to order them some Big Carl sandwitches and fries to work on their chomp sound effects. Walt Longmire and friends have great respect for your ranch!

[@gobbletegook]

YES! The doggos should AWAYS get a plain (cooled) burger too!

[@noraleestone2859]

13:05 Boy, I really feel for the guy with the sledge hammer, trying to break up that ice dam! 😬😮‍💨🤗

[@patjoyce2150]

Love love love the pups!! 🐾

[@sylviawelsh9518]

My son caught his first fish at twin lakes at 4 years old good times 😎

[@ionizer24]

Wow! That’s a lot of snow! Stay safe everyone. Thanks for the video!

[@rms2365]

Dogs are great! 15:20

[@marcmcdonald2888]

What are you currently paying the dump truck drivers per load. I own and Operate a Super 10 Dump

[@ropo772]

Thanks for all your hard work Ed. What would you say the average snow depth on the ground is at Tamarack?

[@sylviawelsh9518]

Your fur babies are so cool. 😎

[@Sushi2735]

Boggles my mind to have a second home and let the snow pile up like that on the roof? They are going to have major damage to the roof and beams. I guess when you have money than you can spend, it’s not a concern. If I was leaving, I’d bloody well have a contract for snow removal. You pay now or pay way more later. My parents were in Mexico for six months every Winter. They have a contract for snow removal. Also looks like someone is present in the house when you do.

[@TimberTramp]

You could put a battery disconnect on the ranch truck or better yet they have some nice solar battery tenders that would be worth throwing in it.

[@hughstephenson2957]

I went through 3 of those "super start" batteries this winter. Replaced em with Exide batteries and haven't had another problem

[@evilivan7271]

A dude with an ax chopping the roof looks scary. So he will leave notches on the roof for sure, and maybe even make holes. Try using salt on the remaining ice on the rooftops instead of the axe. It will quickly melt the crust, it will be easy to break it, if necessary, it will be perfectly pricked and discarded.

[@johnmccaffery5186]

You and your wife love those big Hollywood-style sunglasses, hey? Lol

[@SCUBA_5teve]

The flooding/damage is going to be biblical.

[@off-gridwiththeappelbergs5233]

almost think that maybe a saw to get some of the snow off would help.

[@franklincheney3653]

Is there a natural bowl somewhere in the ranch lanscape that could be sealed up to hold run-off from some giant tarps (bought 2nd-hand from a stadium doing an upgrade?) You could build some covered rollers, and unfurl the tarps when rain was forcast, then roll them back up to avoid the sun. Probably some turn-key units in existance. Surround the captured water with suitable fruit and firewood trees, some to be drip irrigated etc

[@robynidyllwild6755]

Ben Ben Ben, that’s not grass that’s weeds lol 😆

[@michellenettleton3748]

OMG, your ranch property brings back memories of what I experienced in Acton. ❤

[@scottjones6539]

Cool vids have you ever thought about some type of convare system to help in tite spots or even roof removele 30 year union operator you got it goin on bro!

[@nononsenseBennett]

What does it cost to haul snow away by truck. It's not cheap I suppose.

[@rainmaker3700]

Nice piece of property, nice and green, great views!

[@bigdog0149]

Are you above the tree line there or have they just been cleared??

[@michellenettleton3748]

So where do you have your water stored at the ranch?

[@jeffjansen582]

Great vid, because you pump -45 bellow anti freeze through all the plumbing in the trailer before the winter, you were lucky that was the only damage. Expensive lesson when you are in a rush to repair, you only make that mistake once.

[@stevenbowron1287]

Boy I hope the power lines are turned off

[@roberta5278]

Where do you take all that snow ?

[@paulkushnir2224]

You should go 24 x 30 you won't be sorry

[@4loops43]

That’s such a wide range of activities in a day! Not to mention range of weather

[@deborahambrose15]

You can tell that Bud and Sadie are well trained, y’all are giving them a great life! Would you ever consider sharing when/where you got them, which was easier to train off leash?

[@nononsenseBennett]

When do you suppose the majority of the snow will melt?

[@GT-mn3bx]

Around labor day, except for the areas that rarely melt out. Just in time for the first dusting of the year!

[@MrWildbill]

Looks like at time 1:38 you can see the guys garage door damaged, looks like a pile of snow might have been pushed by the loader. Who covers damage like that? (I am not throwing shade at you guys, some damage seems unavoidable.

[@tedthompson3419]

That's my house in the video. Not worried about the minor damage. We are doing a major remodel this Spring.

[@MrWildbill]

@@tedthompson3419 -- Good luck on the remodel! Technically, if you did care, who would be responsible for it, the plow company or you/your insurance? I was just wondering as this kind of minor damage must happen as a nature of the work, who pays to fix it.

[@tedthompson3419]

@@MrWildbill Hey Bill, that's a good question. I reread the contract and it says: "CONTRACTOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO PAVEMENT OR CURBS." Not sure whose responsibility it would be for damage other than that. There was some other wording in there about contractor not being responsible for hidden objects but I don't think that would apply. Once again, in our case a moot point. Cheers.

[@MrWildbill]

@@tedthompson3419 -- Thanks, and again hope your remodel goes well, life is often in the timing, so good timing on this for everyone, love a happy ending.

[@skywatcherca]

Life in Mammoth would not be possible, without the efforts, the sweat, and continual energy that you, the team, and all of the equipment which has been committed to the city. I still feel that the mayor, should have a huge 'free' buffet dinner for all of the teams and companies which kept Mammoth alive and operational. The expense would just be a part of the expense of living and working in Mammoth.

[@JR18250]

Who pays for all of that?

[@tedthompson3419]

Me on the first house in the video.

[@brakerbraker829]

Hard to fathom the scale of snow removall that's required. Mother Nature gonna win the race.

[@GT-mn3bx]

She's like 500 billion and Zero.

[@hughroney6342]

Why waste our time with your toilet? Thats not what I came on here to see! You title it about Mammoth and then you fill it with garbage that no one wants to see, almost like CLICK BAIT. Pretty sure You Tube frowns on that

[@dollimelaine]

lol....wow, i guess you needed to say this I have watched many video's that are all Mammoth.

[@onenuttybuddy]

Just an idea, why not use a Sawzall to cut the ice damns out in cubes, like they use in underground cool huts cover in sawdust, in Alaska. However, up there, they use chainsaws, A little risky when working a customers roof. Another great video. Thanks!!
