Poor Financial Decisions! 2019 Pace 24

[@NiobeBaptist]

Hey, just an idea, but for those who have learned a lot from Ray and enjoy his content - a great way to show some support is to watch older videos on days that he doesn't post. Each view is insignificant, but 100,000 views on a day is a small way we can support Ray.

[@jackfrost-fu7hz]

Don't feel bad for Ray, he was probably making a million dollars a year on YT

[@KendrasEdge757]

@@jackfrost-fu7hz yeah, sure he was

[@OhRonaldo]

@@jackfrost-fu7hz Yeah, no.

[@NiobeBaptist]

@@jackfrost-fu7hz It's not a matter about feeling bad for Ray. It's a matter of showing support for someone who has provided us with learning and entertainment in a time when his finances could be adversely affected. How much money he has or doesn't have isn't the issue I was raising. I always make sure to like each video of his I watch because I get the content for free, and it is a small way I can show support. I don't begrudge him any of the money he makes off KZbin. Every dollar is hard earned and he deserves it!

[@buddysmith6861]

This is what I do if I want to support a channel and I've seen the content already go to that persons page hit play all turn the volume off open another browser do what you want while all of his videos play in the background.

@Game Plays 1230 Yessir. Hiring people with a large internet following is risky business

[@steveb3885]

Ray has a 2 car garage that is mostly empty.....a shop full of tools, a head full of knowledge......he should flip cars and youtube full time....make more than any shop would pay as well as make his own hours....and not be lining someone else's pocket. This man has the skills to be another mustie1

[@mrray55]

Same thing Sleeper Dude did. It's a great channel if you haven't checked it out.

[@lopincol]

Does mustie1 really live off youtube money? I follow him and love his channel. You should check out Taryl Fixes All

[@steveb3885]

@@lopincol you tube and the machines he uses to make videos... Followed taryl for years..... he's a blast. And moisture using one of his coffee cups for dumping carbs is hilarious

[@richardgreen1383]

In the photo of the bottom of the new trailer, you called it plywood. Plywood has a uniform layer on each layer that is visible on the top and bottom of the sheet. Particle board is made up of small particles of wood (slightly larger than sawdust) that are mixed with a glue and then pressed together. This is most often used in the core of the wood in inexpensive wooden furniture. Your floor is at times called chip board or wafer board as it is made up of larger pieces of wood glued and pressed together. You can see the large pieces of wood in the flooring. Definitely paint it, several coats, as you don't want a lot of moisture getting to it or it can begin to come apart.

[@rodneyconaway1600]

It doesn't matter what you do on KZbin you will always have your faithful subscribers following you. Good luck on your next adventure in life. Can't wait to see where you take us next.

[@dotar9586]

Yeah, pretty sure I watched Ray changing air filters in the house. 🤗

[@cruzinsweetsntreats]

And his faithful vehicle operators that have trusted his honesty at the dealership, will find him, when he finally opens up his own shop, if that's what happens.

[@methanebatz]

Im glad you're still uploading even if it's not the normal type of content anymore

[@jimlangley840]

I thought I was going to have to go through Rainman withdrawal syndrome.

[@kevinhill5596]

I think you should refrain from saying you got fired. You should say that your last employer lost you! Not only are you an excellent technician, you are an exceptional instructor. 😁

[@talenttrading]

Yes they lost him but plain speaking and truth is what we need in this world.

[@pcallah3442]

Love the way Ray talks himself into something.

I hope ray opens his own shop. He said things are in the works, so fingers crossed.

[@eheimbauer65]

Good luck Ray, pulling for you.

[@lukeb1317]

I am still checking for a new video every day. If there’s such a thing as positive energy, then you have support from thousands of fans that all wish you the best. Good Luck!

[@VyperMem]

Ray, I'm wishing you all the best. Keep doing you, and don't stop the videos. We learn so much from you, and you are an amazing resource and service to the community. The world needs more honest mechanics like you, that have the customer's best interest as a priority.

[@deucedeuce1572]

Hope he's able to find a new job quickly. Any idea why he got canned? (He's a good mechanic and I think he will find a new job in no time... or will be on to something different, maybe even better hopefully).

[@zironasgiftshop5152]

So true!!!

[@xminusone1]

I wish him he find a better place to work in. He's a honest and good person and a competent mechanic. Very conscientious to. I wish some garage owner or manager can see his videos. I know if I was, I would love to have him as a chief mechanic because he's honest and it's very important to me.

[@jbussey5301]

The quote that made my day was "I got kids that's not gonna work". Been there said that many times. Lol And the mini van ending was a priceless touch. Gotta love being a tech and a dad man.

[@DavidMays]

You can definitely use e-track on those walls to secure your cargo. I sent a 22' trailer like that from Seattle to Alaska via barge, and used a bunch of e-track to keep everything locked down. Nothing moved. No issue with the track pulling off the walls. Those steel studs are stronger than you think.

[@MrBill-ol9pw]

No matter what you choose to do I will always support your channel. You have integrity and that means alot in this world. My best to you.

[@br549junior]

Your post almost made me cry,it was touching What a goober you are. Lmao

Hey ray, you never know how things will pan out, that new trailer is a positive asset in your favor ,just keep moving forward, things will work out for you and yours, and your videos are a real good resume !

[@george8873]

First thing I noticed about the trailer is how well it was color matched to your truck. It's a great looking trailer Ray.

[@chrisahogan7593]

Things will work out Ray. New opportunities come about when other doors close. Still love all your content. Have a great day.

[@johnbatchelor100]

I really do wish you every success in the future Ray.

[@dog3y3]

I'm impressed with how positive and level headed you've been since being fired. It took me a few days to calm down after I got laid off. And I was about to suggest you offer a mobile mechanic service (self employed) but i saw your comment and I understand not taking on that headache. Having your own business can tax you not just monetarily.

[@chris76-01]

Yes, while it can be nice to work for yourself, there's so much red tape, and other legal hassles involved that it makes it feel not worth doing.

[@spaceflight1019]

On the other hand, my older son paints houses and got tired of making other people rich, so he started his own business. Yes, it's a lot of work, but it's worth the effort.

[@RonSales]

First thing I did was spray mine (which was brand new in 2017) with truck undercoating the day after I bought it and the wood on the inside got 2 coats of flood porck and deck clear wood tone. Still working on to getting my tiedowns and load bars set to haul my riding mowers in, being a Refurbisher I buy sell and trade for old mowers no one else want's even if I buy 2 and use one to fix up the other.

I'd really advise adding a wheel to that gate. My grandparents had a cursed automatic gate on their farm when I was growing up, but as soon as they added a wheel to the swung end and eliminated any chance of scraping/resistance, all of their problems went away.

Hey Ray, you have the right idea of just moving on. For whatever reason, Management just don't like having people smarter than them working for them.

[@Triumphwonderdog]

A while back I stumbled on a “shark tank Australia “ show and the guy had a mobile tire changing van, like a dodge sprinter or similar. He was so busy he wanted to get the sharks to finance more vans. Now that wouldn’t be for everyone but you seem to keep busy so you might do well. Thanks for the videos.

[@peacefrog0521]

+1 on this suggestion; I was going to suggest the mobile mechanic option myself. This trailer looks like just the thing to set up a professional-looking mobile repair business. As someone who’s been fired a few times myself, I very strongly suggest you crucially analyze every potential purchase. If a thing doesn’t help you make money, save money, or maintain your well-being, think twice about getting it. “Maintain well-being” can s a broad definition that’s as subjective as “Essential”. But basically food, housing, medicine, insurance, etc.

[@bigdmister]

You should look into an e-track system. It’s east to install and works extremely well.

@@xminusone1 Bonjour Martin. Oui, it's the same here but Toronto is a very large city and I'm sure Ray would find a suitable home up here in a heartbeat. We'd have to find some way to convince him that he should move here. RAY, think how much fun your kids could have in the snow? Skating, bobsledding, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. Also, NO mosquitoes biting your ankles when working on vehicles.

Hey Ray, Sorry to hear about the employment situation. Onward and upward. I really like the unique way you make you videos.

Hi, Ray, I used to drive a five tonne truck with a 24' box, 9' high. the walls are constructed out of aluminum, the uprights are a Z bend aluminum stud, if you will. I installed 3 rows of E track horizontally the full length of the box, and have had some heavy stuff strapped to the walls with no negative consequences. You could look into that.

[@redbo1519]

You for sure need to open your own shop!! Also, check your email about the truck project we have been discussing.

[@oldguydoesstuff120]

It may have already been said, but look into L-Track for tie down on the wall. You can put a longer piece across the wall and span 4 or more of the wall "studs", spreading out the load. Tie down points then attach to the track pretty much any where you want. It's popular among DIY van camper builders. I used it on my van floor to have tie downs for my son's wheelchair.

Hey Ray, here’s a good one. Aircraft cargo rails. They add support and spread the load across the panels, preventing pulling out. And you can attach anywhere along the length.

[@Kasslim11]

Note about adding a generator on the outside of the trailer: take into account wind forces, not sure how fast you'd have to go for it to matter since it's not a racecar, but I'm sure they made it pointy for a reason :P

The problem you have is you have to clean everything meticulously while working and after the day is over. you don’t know the guy in the bay next to you If you leave a box open or tools laying around there is a higher chance of them walking away.

Ray, I live in rural south Texas off grid mostly. I too in the midst of unemployment in the same trade bought an enclosed trailer of the 14' V nose variety that i didnt necessarily need as a mobile motoorcycle repair facility and stealth camper. I put shelves in the "V" as does everyone else. I put "E" track and "X" track on the floors and walls and bought wheel chocks for the track. I put a small winch on the floor and added a jackery power pack and a solar panel along with lights and a 12v battery charged by the jackery. I did this in November of last year. No regrets. I Get it. I did it. To a lesser degree.

[@fredmaxwell9619]

That is a nice trailer. My brother had one sort of like that, it was a 5th wheel with a living area up front and a small kitchen in the front. It also had a bed I think that folded down from the ceiling in the back when the cars were removed. He use to drag race and sell TCI stuff.

Ray, that floorboard that you called plywood is actually OSB (oriented stranded board) generally used for house sheathing. Painting it will only last 1-2 years before the OSB delaminates. My recommendation is to cover that OSB with sheet metal and caulk the hell out of it to keep it waterproof. OSB hates water.

[@oldbloke135]

You're better off leaving it exposed so it can dry out easily. It won't get wet very often underneath a trailer in Florida!
