I’ve had the privilege of knowing people with great knowledge, with lots of money and properties, that are still kind enough to treat us with respect and joke around with us. That’s priceless bro. I appreciate you all.
I'm Mexican now LEGAL I don't want people who come to this country by breaking OUR LAWS so if you're here ILLEGALLY go the F-CK home and come in through the front door like my family did even MEXICANS
The house across the street from my house has had 3 owners since I've lived in my neighborhood. The new guy that bought the house is a young 20something Mexican kid who knows construction. This kid has made many improvements to his home in just a year and his house is the best on the block. Proud of my hard working people.
Awesome skills but let's also give credit to the parents or his guardians for instilling practical life skills since a young age. That's what happens when you have good guidance growing up.
When I was in high school I was the foreman of a Mexican crew picking raspberries and strawberries for our employer who was a small fruit farmer in Northern Utah. I could out pick the Mexicans in the raspberries but they could pick circles around me in the strawberries. I don't know why, but I just did well in raspberry picking. And I'm a gringo... I'm an old man now and so that was 50 years ago. No. Longer than that. Now, all these years later and my next door neighbors are Mexican framers in the construction industry and they are good neighbors because we are good neighbors to them. We make sure we share our garden produce with them and give them eggs from our chickens all year round. My wife is a Master Gardener. We have six 30-ftx4 ft raised garden beds which you can see on UA-cam on my wife's channel.
After I told a crew of Mexican's how much I made for the same work, they stole their Contractor's Trucks and took them to Mexico and sold them. You might say they got the last laugh!
My kids dad told me I worked like a Mexican when I first met him and I took it as the biggest compliment. I was the only little white girl working in an all Mexican restaurant and I am proud to say I still work like that at 40. They are some of the hardest working people you will ever meet and they have great sense of humors and have fun at the same time.
I had a Mexican crew tear off and replace my roof! They worked so hard and didn’t know how to speak English. The manager knew English and drove between jobs. I bought pizzas for them and they wouldn’t eat until this guy came back and said they could. I appreciated how hard they worked in hot Florida summer days!
I’ve worked numerous labor intensive jobs, from landscaping to oil field. Let me say this, no one has ever humbled me as much as working side by side with my Latino bros. They will both work harder and smarter than you and do it with jokes and smiles. I absolutely learned a ton from it, both trade secrets and life lessons. Nothing but love for these guys!
Yeah, if I'm ever struggling with something, I just play dumb and tell the Mexican bros that I'm new. They will take their time and teach you without even knowing the language. I love shooting the shit with them and think of them as the ultimate bros. Sigueme por los chelas, amigos!

Had a Mexican crew do a siding job on house was told it would take 6 days , nope it took only 4. If you have a hard working crew I recommend taking good care of them. I left out a cooler of water and gatorade to take as they needed. They appreciate the little things people do. I treat every worker who comes into my home as a guest. They are doing jobs that are demanding and require skills that are worth respecting.
As an ex fence builder ( and owner) for 40 years, we ALWAYS mix our concrete in a wheelbarrow, works just fine. For mixing and pouring, I’ve always made a short round point shovel with welded sides. Also, I always use a string, I used to do it by eye, but like Victor said, you end up walking back and fourth too much. The string don’t lie.
I agree always use a string I've been a carpenter for 45 years columns and I always use a string for lining posts and columns 11:24 or straightening the wall or doing brickwork the always use a string always.not using a string is bush league.
@@SWiFence fences may not NEED strings, but, they're definitely needed for footings. Knowing this, I'd never skip out on them for fencing. Why not use what is reliable and quick, especially if you have a good hand that you trust to set it up?
I have no care about building a fence let alone watching someone build it, but I couldn't stop watching this video! Great to see different races working together and learning different techniques from each other. I enjoyed this, Thank you!
@@SWiFenceI take a 94# bag of portland cement. In the home depot parking lot on my trailer I transfer the portland to five gallon buckets with lids. The dirt is dug out of the holes and mixed with the portland. Eyeballing my posts (no string) and mixing dirt, portland, and water (bucket, hose, or hydro jet) the posts are set to height, line, and plumb as I go. I used 60# redi Crete for years, it's heavy and $5/post or more. Portland cement and dirt mixed in the hole is stronger, less labor intensive, and 50¢ to $1 per hole. No B.S. Also I'm a one man crew for what it's worth.
Brother, I'm a video editor for Warner Bros Discovery. The production value, energy and level of entertainment on a fence install video was phenomenal. I'm not sure what your production crew size is from shoot to edit but you're doing what usually takes full production team to do. Good stuff!
Haha! Our production crew is just one guy with a fair amount of experience. But let me tell you your comment just MADE HIS DAY. You rock! Thanks for sharing this. 👍🏻
this is awesome... i did my own vinal fence like 62 posts all around but ran out of time so my shared neighbors (mexican) hired their family and ripped down dug the holes and cemented the posts in one day and it was a 25 post line ...there was 4 of them ... mexican people are my favorite people
Here in Colorado we have legions of Mexicans who start working for companies at a young age (18-22) and by the time they reach their late 20s early 30s, a good bunch of them have already started their own LLC business. Work ethic is off the charts.. Absolutely incredible!
It's really not that spectacular. The whites and blacks did the same shit up until the 80s. They just worked for non living wages and undercut the younger generation coming up. As far as work ethic, they either work or get fired on the spot, those Hispanic guys may seem all nice and shit when they talk with Americans but behind closed doors they are slave drivers
Sensed respect from the beginning of the video. I commend you for this content. Thank you for talking to them as you’d talk to any other peers. As a Mexican that doesn’t always happen and it’s tough being around somebody whom you’re not sure will respect you. Thank you again!
Pinche Raza❤️🇲🇽👍🏽🍺 No disrespect to anybody but my Mexicans are some of thee most hard working and humble people around. Un chingo de amor y respetos desde El Paso, Tejas🍺🍺🍺
Victor and his crew are the *definition* of the American Dream. He's not only establishing himself as an asset to society in a country where he has to learn the language--he's creating jobs and competition among service providers. That is badass to the max. AND that simple little handle on the bottom of the bucket is pure unadulterated genius. ¡Un gran respeto de mi parte!
A looser slump concrete mix is definitely the best way to go for fence posts. It fills the hole much more evenly, reduces the amount of air pockets to zero. I've built hundreds of fences and no one will ever convince me that dry packing works as well as barrow mixing.
@@Clarkster420you can literally use the same dirt you pulled out of a whole to pack it in. There are better methods but it still works and got people by before concrete was a thing. I’d imagine the newly engineered stuff works just fine as well for simple things such as fence post.
@@wildbill6976 Concrete is the only thing that will keep frost heave from shifting your posts on the winter, I've replaced dozens that were dirt tamped or rock filled because of the severe effect that frozen ground has on them. I had to redo 44 posts for a fence that was less than a year old because they had heaved and shifted so badly over one winter. The previous contractor just used rocks and dirt.
I work a desk job now, but back in college I worked summers landscaping with my fellow Mexican workers. Hardest workers out there, always willing to help out on a task, always had a smile and fun quirky jokes when we were on the road to the next job site. I miss that job and those guys, hope they’re doin alright.
I had a Mexican crew do a complete tear off of my roof and garage. They had to put $800 of lumber into the garage due to water damage. New shingles, flashing, ice guard, repairs, clean up.... They did it all in 1 day.
I work in an academic field and will most likely never do any construction. Yet this whole video kept my attention because mutual respect and a passion for learning/efficiency translates across proffessions. Subscribed
People see Mexican workers hanging out in the shade after the job is done and think they are lazy, but they didn’t see how much faster and more efficient they were than any other crew.
and the roof always leaks when they are finished. worthless illegal workers have no standards. all our mexican crews suck at roofing and other trades. we employ them because the old man is greedy.
@@SkankHunt42O I just got done putting up about 13 aluminum fence sections and let me tell you it is toughest job I've had to do - I was taking deep breaths hand shoveling all those 16" deep holes and sweat more than I ever have. If they do the job as well as this video they can drink whatever they hell they want as far as I'm concerned
For those trash talkers out there.... I have been in 43 countries and actually worked in, ah I dunno 8 or 9 with guys from more countries than I can count. After that lead up I can state unequivocally that the guys and gals from Mexico are by far the best workers out there. Not to discount talent from elsewhere, but I would still hire immigrants from Mexico before almost anyone else. Not about patriotism, entitlement, supposed racial superiority or any other bullshit, it's about production and work ethic. These guys know how to work and pride themselves in that ethic. Have you ever seen a roofing crew work in South Florida? Nobody comes close to these guys, they start working the moment the truck stops. No breaks, no bitching and nothing slow. All that in heat and conditions that would have you crying for mama after 15 minutes. Mad respect guys.
@@hook4116 It seems you do. It must be terrible to feel so insecure with that inferiority complex of yours. What happened, mommy not give you enough attention when you were young?
I used to do some light property lawn care (and winter prep) for 8 buildings. Owner had a roofing crew out, didn't speak any English. They had all 8 buildings done by the end of the day. A fresh roof and the ground was all clean as if they were never there. In and out with no bullshit. To this day, I see this same pattern. It took me several weeks to put a roof on by myself, tear out the old and install the new. It's rough.
I'm old and broken so I am never going to DIY a fence for any reason, and only watched this for entertainment. I'm impressed, I learned a lot and I'm quite happy I watched. Kudos to Victor and crew!
This guy is awesome! Not only is he making a way for himself......but he's making a way for others. Plus they all seem proficient in ways that align with what he's about.
@@donnieharness2 mexicans have been building homes in my neighborhood pretty much constantly the last year. You're quite wrong. It amazes me how fast these homes pop up, and I never see them just dicking around. Compare that to my hard labor jobs, where everyone (myself included) spends a good 30-40% of their time doing jackshit.
@@godzilla90fan skilled labor and hard labor require different amounts of downtime, lmao. These aren't just hauling weight around all day. It depends on the job/trade
@@boogalooter7280 I see it every day dude. The amount of construction near me is constant and insane. The same 5 men have been buildings homes on the few streets next to me for nearly a year and a half, and are the hardest workers I have ever seen. They obviously take breaks, but there is no just dicking around. Its rare that we see them standing, and if they are they're drinking water. I doubt they get paid by the hour, probably by the job.
It’s always a treat to have a good crew come by and bust out work efficiently. These guys are a great example. My old tree guy had two additional trailers for his employees, and would show up to jobs with 3-4 trucks, 12-15 guys and just tear through 3-5 jobs in a day, all good money. I like the fact that EFFICIENCY is rewarded in the contracting world. Seems like the rest of the business world could learn a thing or two from a simple tree/fencing crew
i was born in oklahoma but i live in between laredo and nuevo laredo every couple of days. mexican workers have great effeciency of movement. they dont waste time and dont do anything that is pointless and yeah having cold brews are a plus
You just got a new subscriber buddy. Victor is a beast, you can tell he puts thought in everything he does, little things like water before pouring the cement bag, the brick on the 5 gallon bucket save alot of time, the clips in his hat. Dude has the tricks of the trade.
Hard Working People for sure, you have to respect it. As I get into DIY stuff you really gain even more respect for for all Construction Workers, Plumbers, Electricians, Handymen...not an easy job. Projects that take me Weeks to complete they come and knock it out in Days 🙏
This brought back memories of working with my mostly Mexican landscaping crews in Dallas. Nobody slacked off, it was work from the moment we started in the morning until we finished late in the afternoon. They were the best bunch of guys you could imagine, their work ethic was something to admire. We had fun, but the work got done and done correctly. My policy was do it right the first time, don't cut corners and you won't have a call back from the customer to redo something. I still stay in touch with the foreman that worked for me for twenty some years, even though I've been gone for 15 years.
This video is absolutely amazing. The SWI is appreciating someones life challenges, understands how Victor made that happen and how hard victor and his crew gets to work and gets the job done professionally. SWI you are an amazing human being, thank you for acknowledging other professionals, and thank you for also showing how professionals might have different approaches to tackle situations. Seriously if the world would take your outlook and reciprocate that onto people, society would be a cool place to live in. SWI appreciate the content.
I never thought I would get so much enjoyment out of watching fence videos.. But you guys rock!! I have spent hours watching this stuff and they are great!!! Thanks for doing what you do!!
I’m 25 and been building fence for 31 years now(overtime) and I have always mixed my cement just like that and it is just as strong as any so-called professional cement mixer, and don’t mind the wetness of the cement mix some will be lost immediately after you pour it, the soil will absorb it
Love this video, my people are hard at it again, we work hard and don’t complain much. I take pride in being Mexican and I get a lot of joy seeing guys like them get ahead in life.
@@ClaytonTownley approximately that We had one shorter day due to rain but we definitely don’t have our act together like that crew. We plan on driving posts next year.
favorite video so far. i’ve been very interested in victors work since talking to him on facebook and seeing how much was done in 1 day. i was curious how they were going about being this efficient on the job site. seems like he has a great crew working with him that’s know exactly what they’re supposed to do
27 years fencing and i learned something from this video and will use that from now on. Screwing the plastic channel to the post to help hold the pickets upright while another guy comes behind putting top rail in. I have never screwed the chanel to post and always fought holding pickets.
I run a crew of Hispanic guys for landscaping and I am so thankful to have them work along side of me. I’ve never met a more hardworking group of guys. And they have a great sense of humor
I've worked in restaurants almost all my life. At one restaurant, I was one of 2 white guys working the kitchen (including dishwashers) and that's surprising considering I live in Wisconsin. We closed at 10, they'd be having a beer by 10:15. I swear Latino's work with the power of 2 men. Never complain. Never take much too seriously either. Some of the most hard working, dedicated, disciplined, and fun people that I've had the absolute pleasure to work with.
Great job, thanks for all the little hints in there! We will be privately tackling a tiny project with larch wood posts and wire mesh in the summer, adapting to the usual execution of the neighborhood development with wooden posts and fences and the use of wire mesh covering. And because we have a lot of wood available in the area.
More like, A perfect example of illegal aliens stealing our jobs. All while our American ppl's unemployment rates keep climbing...!! American government and ppl. Are just so ignorant sometimes I swear.!!
I have worked with Mexican laborers who are definitely not afraid to do any kind of work. Luckily, they are now close friends and have close family ties. We could not get young Americans to do labor work that these hard working people will do. ❤
I used to get serious hand cramps until I started taking magnesium every day. Victor should take one 250 mg. Magnesium without citrate every morning along with staying dehydrated with plenty of water or Gatorade.…..lol. Great video
I like to set a 1' string line and mark my post 1' up from the bottom of the bottom rail. Mark the string to correspond with the edge of the post for accuracy. This allows me to get in and out left and right and height in one shot. The mark on the post goes level to the string. And the mark on the string goes to the edge of the post. Marks on string are I panel plus a post so a 70" section and a 5" post would be 75" to center or edge rather for better accuracy. Just my way if it helps anyone out.
Brother great job all the men working together to get the job done. Definitely worth paying top dollar for this guy and his crew. Plus to recommend him to family and friends for more work. I pray God bless this guy for his hard work, professionalism and awesome attitude. Much Respect 👍💯💪🙏
Mark, Thank you for putting this video together. I just had the dumbest conversation with someone who was ranting about immigrants. I stressed that so many of them work hard just to get to this country and yes there are the thugs but there are so many more that are talented, hardworking and skilled. I am so pleased to see Victor getting it done and with a smile on his face as he knocked the job out. Good action guys. If you keep in touch with him please tell him I am in awe of his skill set and wish all of you luck and prosperity.
Our roof was done by natives from Mexico and they worked their butts off all day long. They took maybe a 15 minute break for lunch, but they were at it from 6AM to 6PM. They did a phenomenal job too. An Ameren worker who was doing our energy efficiency conversion said he used to be a roofer and that our roof was done right.
I crying reading the comments saying so much wonderful things about los Mexicanos !!!! So proud of them. They leave their lives and family’s in Mexico and star from zero but they work and work and work for them ! Muy orgulloza de ellos !!
My brother in law is a roofer, his first few years he did like 5-6 houses a month. Last year, he hired 6 Mexican folks and holy shit! They are such a well oiled machine, they are doing 4-5 roofs a week! He's so busy now, he has to hire another materials runner.
We install fence in upstate NY. We average about 30 -35 posts a day. Alot more work than people think. In July we did a horse fence, it was just one of those jobs that everything worked. We installed 68 5x7 timbers 40in deep in clay set in concrete in one day. We run 4 guys including getting 3 rails on half of it the same day. I was super impressed.
Great video of how its done, I did my fenck with hard pack quick crete. With 4 x 4 pt every other post and 2 ft pieces on others for stability and strength. Took a little more time but in the the fence is really strong. My neighbor had two guys install a gate and 2 sections, they were there for 6 hrs !!!!
These guys are the best from the Best. People dont realize the Skill involved but most importantly work ethic completes the Job this quickly. A Person can only go so hard till their body tells them to slow down. As you mature your bussiness you have to charge more and Do less. Thats how you show respect for Construction Labour. 80% of graduates are Office workers today. Clients Better start paying these guys big bucks period

As an ex fence builder ( and owner) for 40 years, we ALWAYS mix our concrete in a wheelbarrow, works just fine. For mixing and pouring, I’ve always made a short round point shovel with welded sides. Also, I always use a string, I used to do it by eye, but like Victor said, you end up walking back and fourth too much. The string don’t lie.
Everybody's got their favorite method. 👍🏻
I agree always use a string I've been a carpenter for 45 years columns and I always use a string for lining posts and columns 11:24 or straightening the wall or doing brickwork the always use a string always.not using a string is bush league.
The ol hoe is the best mixing tool.
@@SWiFence fences may not NEED strings, but, they're definitely needed for footings. Knowing this, I'd never skip out on them for fencing. Why not use what is reliable and quick, especially if you have a good hand that you trust to set it up?
@@SWiFenceyou got owned. Own it.
I have no care about building a fence let alone watching someone build it, but I couldn't stop watching this video! Great to see different races working together and learning different techniques from each other. I enjoyed this, Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
As a Mexican I would disagree on the word "races" as we are all the human race. We should use ethnicity or culture. Biologically we are all the same.
@@SWiFenceI take a 94# bag of portland cement. In the home depot parking lot on my trailer I transfer the portland to five gallon buckets with lids. The dirt is dug out of the holes and mixed with the portland. Eyeballing my posts (no string) and mixing dirt, portland, and water (bucket, hose, or hydro jet) the posts are set to height, line, and plumb as I go.
I used 60# redi Crete for years, it's heavy and $5/post or more. Portland cement and dirt mixed in the hole is stronger, less labor intensive, and 50¢ to $1 per hole. No B.S. Also I'm a one man crew for what it's worth.
@@redlinemsafacts
Just some humans working together.
Brother, I'm a video editor for Warner Bros Discovery. The production value, energy and level of entertainment on a fence install video was phenomenal. I'm not sure what your production crew size is from shoot to edit but you're doing what usually takes full production team to do. Good stuff!
Haha! Our production crew is just one guy with a fair amount of experience. But let me tell you your comment just MADE HIS DAY. You rock! Thanks for sharing this. 👍🏻
Wow!! @@SWiFence
this is awesome... i did my own vinal fence like 62 posts all around but ran out of time so my shared neighbors (mexican) hired their family and ripped down dug the holes and cemented the posts in one day and it was a 25 post line ...there was 4 of them ... mexican people are my favorite people
Here in Colorado we have legions of Mexicans who start working for companies at a young age (18-22) and by the time they reach their late 20s early 30s, a good bunch of them have already started their own LLC business. Work ethic is off the charts.. Absolutely incredible!
It's really not that spectacular. The whites and blacks did the same shit up until the 80s. They just worked for non living wages and undercut the younger generation coming up. As far as work ethic, they either work or get fired on the spot, those Hispanic guys may seem all nice and shit when they talk with Americans but behind closed doors they are slave drivers
Sensed respect from the beginning of the video. I commend you for this content. Thank you for talking to them as you’d talk to any other peers. As a Mexican that doesn’t always happen and it’s tough being around somebody whom you’re not sure will respect you. Thank you again!
right on yall are doing a great job of showing their work.
I’ve never been more impressed than when I worked with mexicans. They are a hard working bunch and really good at whatever they do.
Love the dry humor “working on a fence, after jumping the fence”

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Great job to Victor and his crew. Not only are the fast but it looks good and leveled.
The appreciation between men that know their trade. Solid people all around. I really enjoyed this watch.
Victor and his crew are the *definition* of the American Dream. He's not only establishing himself as an asset to society in a country where he has to learn the language--he's creating jobs and competition among service providers. That is badass to the max. AND that simple little handle on the bottom of the bucket is pure unadulterated genius. ¡Un gran respeto de mi parte!
The handler on the bottom of the bucket is an invention used by mexican construction workers for centuries. It is just Mexican creativity.
Bro…. The stories and jokes had me smiling and laughing the whole time ! This is a good vibe 👊🏽🇲🇽🇺🇸
Been in kitchens all my life. Latins and Filipinos are easily the hardest working and ingenious folk ever. Rapido Jaimito!! Good times.
The block on the bucket is a classic ! This type of ingenuity I strive for so simple but changes quality of work so much.
A la mexicana. We figure it out
Home depot figuring out how to commercialize the bucket with the bottom. 😂😂😂
A looser slump concrete mix is definitely the best way to go for fence posts. It fills the hole much more evenly, reduces the amount of air pockets to zero. I've built hundreds of fences and no one will ever convince me that dry packing works as well as barrow mixing.
What's up with that new expanding foam crap they got out. Sure that shit can't be good for holding up a fence post for long could it.??
@@Clarkster420you can literally use the same dirt you pulled out of a whole to pack it in. There are better methods but it still works and got people by before concrete was a thing. I’d imagine the newly engineered stuff works just fine as well for simple things such as fence post.
@@frankiethefrog1752 rots the post, might hold up 10 yrs but the concrete will last at least 20 yrs
dirt tamped posts still beat anything... concrete draws moisture, the concrete will last, but the post will eventually rot/break off at top of slab
@@wildbill6976 Concrete is the only thing that will keep frost heave from shifting your posts on the winter, I've replaced dozens that were dirt tamped or rock filled because of the severe effect that frozen ground has on them. I had to redo 44 posts for a fence that was less than a year old because they had heaved and shifted so badly over one winter. The previous contractor just used rocks and dirt.
I work a desk job now, but back in college I worked summers landscaping with my fellow Mexican workers. Hardest workers out there, always willing to help out on a task, always had a smile and fun quirky jokes when we were on the road to the next job site. I miss that job and those guys, hope they’re doin alright.
IHOPE THE NEW PRESIDENTE OF THE USA KNEW ABOUT IT, WE MEXICANS BUILT PIRAMIDS, A FENCE? THAT´S PEANUTS
I had a Mexican crew do a complete tear off of my roof and garage. They had to put $800 of lumber into the garage due to water damage. New shingles, flashing, ice guard, repairs, clean up.... They did it all in 1 day.
I work in an academic field and will most likely never do any construction. Yet this whole video kept my attention because mutual respect and a passion for learning/efficiency translates across proffessions. Subscribed
People see Mexican workers hanging out in the shade after the job is done and think they are lazy, but they didn’t see how much faster and more efficient they were than any other crew.
and the roof always leaks when they are finished. worthless illegal workers have no standards. all our mexican crews suck at roofing and other trades. we employ them because the old man is greedy.
And drinking modelo
@@SkankHunt42O I just got done putting up about 13 aluminum fence sections and let me tell you it is toughest job I've had to do - I was taking deep breaths hand shoveling all those 16" deep holes and sweat more than I ever have. If they do the job as well as this video they can drink whatever they hell they want as far as I'm concerned
and?!@@SkankHunt42O
This.
For those trash talkers out there.... I have been in 43 countries and actually worked in, ah I dunno 8 or 9 with guys from more countries than I can count. After that lead up I can state unequivocally that the guys and gals from Mexico are by far the best workers out there. Not to discount talent from elsewhere, but I would still hire immigrants from Mexico before almost anyone else. Not about patriotism, entitlement, supposed racial superiority or any other bullshit, it's about production and work ethic. These guys know how to work and pride themselves in that ethic. Have you ever seen a roofing crew work in South Florida? Nobody comes close to these guys, they start working the moment the truck stops. No breaks, no bitching and nothing slow. All that in heat and conditions that would have you crying for mama after 15 minutes. Mad respect guys.
Nobody cares.
@@hook4116 It seems you do. It must be terrible to feel so insecure with that inferiority complex of yours. What happened, mommy not give you enough attention when you were young?
I used to do some light property lawn care (and winter prep) for 8 buildings. Owner had a roofing crew out, didn't speak any English. They had all 8 buildings done by the end of the day. A fresh roof and the ground was all clean as if they were never there. In and out with no bullshit.
To this day, I see this same pattern. It took me several weeks to put a roof on by myself, tear out the old and install the new. It's rough.
generalize much??
imagine if half stayed in mexico and worked hard at making their country great...
I’ve got nothing but respect for guys like these. These guys deserve all my hard earned money.
Fast, accurate, positive and reliable. Mr Vasquez and his crew are excellent.
I'm old and broken so I am never going to DIY a fence for any reason, and only watched this for entertainment.
I'm impressed, I learned a lot and I'm quite happy I watched. Kudos to Victor and crew!
I really like Victor's attitude, he seems to be a happy guy.

@sabiwabi9629 exactly they use there phones and talk and stand around just as much as any other crew
@@donnieharness2 mexicans have been building homes in my neighborhood pretty much constantly the last year. You're quite wrong. It amazes me how fast these homes pop up, and I never see them just dicking around. Compare that to my hard labor jobs, where everyone (myself included) spends a good 30-40% of their time doing jackshit.
@@godzilla90fan skilled labor and hard labor require different amounts of downtime, lmao. These aren't just hauling weight around all day. It depends on the job/trade
@@boogalooter7280 I see it every day dude. The amount of construction near me is constant and insane. The same 5 men have been buildings homes on the few streets next to me for nearly a year and a half, and are the hardest workers I have ever seen. They obviously take breaks, but there is no just dicking around. Its rare that we see them standing, and if they are they're drinking water. I doubt they get paid by the hour, probably by the job.

Nah he's just mexican lol
It’s always a treat to have a good crew come by and bust out work efficiently. These guys are a great example.
My old tree guy had two additional trailers for his employees, and would show up to jobs with 3-4 trucks, 12-15 guys and just tear through 3-5 jobs in a day, all good money.
I like the fact that EFFICIENCY is rewarded in the contracting world. Seems like the rest of the business world could learn a thing or two from a simple tree/fencing crew
Learn what? Bust your arse all day everyday? Do you do that at your job?
Wow you a good man it makes happy see people like you help us cuz I'm mexican too you got all my rest and thank you for respet all the hard work!!
i was born in oklahoma but i live in between laredo and nuevo laredo every couple of days. mexican workers have great effeciency of movement. they dont waste time and dont do anything that is pointless and yeah having cold brews are a plus
You just got a new subscriber buddy. Victor is a beast, you can tell he puts thought in everything he does, little things like water before pouring the cement bag, the brick on the 5 gallon bucket save alot of time, the clips in his hat. Dude has the tricks of the trade.
Hard Working People for sure, you have to respect it. As I get into DIY stuff you really gain even more respect for for all Construction Workers, Plumbers, Electricians, Handymen...not an easy job. Projects that take me Weeks to complete they come and knock it out in Days 🙏
This brought back memories of working with my mostly Mexican landscaping crews in Dallas. Nobody slacked off, it was work from the moment we started in the morning until we finished late in the afternoon. They were the best bunch of guys you could imagine, their work ethic was something to admire. We had fun, but the work got done and done correctly. My policy was do it right the first time, don't cut corners and you won't have a call back from the customer to redo something. I still stay in touch with the foreman that worked for me for twenty some years, even though I've been gone for 15 years.
Mutual respect from two professionals. Impressive work from Victor and his crew.
I love working with Mexicans they are hard workers, no excuses and not checking Instagram every second.
why would you chek that while working¿
This video is absolutely amazing. The SWI is appreciating someones life challenges, understands how Victor made that happen and how hard victor and his crew gets to work and gets the job done professionally. SWI you are an amazing human being, thank you for acknowledging other professionals, and thank you for also showing how professionals might have different approaches to tackle situations.
Seriously if the world would take your outlook and reciprocate that onto people, society would be a cool place to live in. SWI appreciate the content.
Gosh get his nuts out your mouth, will ya? 😂
I always felt very lucky to have worked with my Español amigos. Always reached in to help when wk was so hard or heavy. Favorite group of workers. ✌️👊

Awesome video! Love seeing how “the true fence king” takes care of business.
Man knows what he's doing. 👍🏻
I’m 25 and been building fence for 31 years now(overtime) and I have always mixed my cement just like that and it is just as strong as any so-called professional cement mixer, and don’t mind the wetness of the cement mix some will be lost immediately after you pour it, the soil will absorb it
Thanks for showcasing the hard workers we got ✌🏾
Love this video, my people are hard at it again, we work hard and don’t complain much. I take pride in being Mexican and I get a lot of joy seeing guys like them get ahead in life.
Very impressive. My partner and I just did a similar size fence and it took us 4 days. Looks like we have some learning to do.
Did you work 8 hrs per day (64 man hrs)?
@@ClaytonTownley approximately that
We had one shorter day due to rain but we definitely don’t have our act together like that crew. We plan on driving posts next year.

Those workers are amazing hard workers and thanks for respecting them! They are definitely needed in America where no one wants to work hard anymore!
I've worked in restaurants almost all my life. At one restaurant, I was one of 2 white guys working the kitchen (including dishwashers) and that's surprising considering I live in Wisconsin. We closed at 10, they'd be having a beer by 10:15. I swear Latino's work with the power of 2 men. Never complain. Never take much too seriously either. Some of the most hard working, dedicated, disciplined, and fun people that I've had the absolute pleasure to work with.
Victor's crew has my vote for fencing in any yard I'd imagine owning, no question.
What a great video. I love us working together to bring this country back to what it was. Unity it's the trick. Victor and his crew are a beast
As a child my Father taught me to always work hard and show the "man" what you're made of even if he pays you poorly! I never forget that!

Great job, thanks for all the little hints in there!
We will be privately tackling a tiny project with larch wood posts and wire mesh in the summer,

and the use of wire mesh covering. And because we have a lot of wood available in the area.

I used to get serious hand cramps until I started taking magnesium every day. Victor should take one 250 mg. Magnesium without citrate every morning along with staying dehydrated with plenty of water or Gatorade.…..lol. Great video
I like to set a 1' string line and mark my post 1' up from the bottom of the bottom rail. Mark the string to correspond with the edge of the post for accuracy. This allows me to get in and out left and right and height in one shot. The mark on the post goes level to the string. And the mark on the string goes to the edge of the post. Marks on string are I panel plus a post so a 70" section and a 5" post would be 75" to center or edge rather for better accuracy. Just my way if it helps anyone out.
Pretty impressive result. Great workers. No mucking about, get it done! I've not seen these vinyl fence components previously.

If you keep in touch with him please tell him I am in awe of his skill set and wish all of you luck and prosperity.
Our roof was done by natives from Mexico and they worked their butts off all day long. They took maybe a 15 minute break for lunch, but they were at it from 6AM to 6PM. They did a phenomenal job too. An Ameren worker who was doing our energy efficiency conversion said he used to be a roofer and that our roof was done right.

Yup, and paid in tax free yankee dollars sent back to Mexico. Nice.
A rising tide lifts all boats. I'm happy to see we they learn from each other and prosper.
We install fence in upstate NY. We average about 30 -35 posts a day. Alot more work than people think. In July we did a horse fence, it was just one of those jobs that everything worked. We installed 68 5x7 timbers 40in deep in clay set in concrete in one day. We run 4 guys including getting 3 rails on half of it the same day. I was super impressed.
Great video of how its done, I did my fenck with hard pack quick crete. With 4 x 4 pt every other post and 2 ft pieces on others for stability and strength. Took a little more time but in the the fence is really strong. My neighbor had two guys install a gate and 2 sections, they were there for 6 hrs !!!!
While Victors crew is out digging holes, most crews are still at the corner store 😂
