I now know you are a true craftsman at your job. Mixing concrete vs dry pouring shows you take pride in your work. I truly enjoy your videos, getting better with every new one you post.
Another great video. I bet the purchase of your auger truck made life a lot better for you two. I remember back when we bought our large hydraulic conduit bender and table it made us so much more efficient on jobs. 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
Another really enjoyable video. I was having a rough week at work and when I saw this posted I took a little break and watched. The satisfaction from watching you two get so much accomplished gave me a new energy to attack the day!! I must say when I first saw the title and started watching I thought you needed to disassemble the whole thing to move it!!😮😮 What a great relief I was wrong lol. 😂
Man that’s what it’s all about. I’m trying to film these in a way that it’s informative and relaxing………..that makes my day. Thank you. I hope to have these out weekly, so maybe we can continue helping!!!
Hey your right Shane buying a mixer isn't a high priority for smaller jobs. Once you have a big job lined up you can always rent a mixer with a warranty and all you have to do is use it clean it return it and it's covered for repairs and even get a deposit back. I can see buying one if you had a consistent amount of mixing then it could be tax deductible plus it will pay for itself in time then becomes an asset not a liability. You are right to not spend money when it's not necessary and use that money for something else that's more important and can be justified better. As always brother the content is great. The journey is real and I hope your followers keep growing. And what you said about the guy paying for the repairs to the truck...man I was with you when you said "yeah right!" But there aren't many stand up people in this world so you caught a blessing. Y'all seem like good people shane and both of you deserve good breaks now and then. And yes like subscribe and share. Oh yeah the great "pudini" is one of those that are stand up people
Man thank you ! Yeah, it’s gonna happen one day, just not yet. We have had several larger pours, where the customer also wants a pad poured around the windmill base, but we always have a concrete truck standing by for that! Thank you for getting back to me !!! I have rented before and didn’t really care for that either. I’m hard to please I guess! Have a great day!
@@OkieWindmiller hey it's all good man. You know how you want it done and that works for you. I absolutely love this channel and I will stay faithful because it's really interesting the job y'all do! You and Laurie are awesome 👍😎
I had a tree service for about 30 years and it started at a time work was hard to find so I just started trimming trees for people. People always asked how I got started going out on limbs like I do and I tell them my kids was hungry and I had to do whatever I could to feed and clothe them. (No food stamps for me) but I did make one rule for my family and it was because my wife couldn’t climb to make us a living so any time I left the ground I made sure if I fall my climb rope or my safety belt is going to catch me. And yes if u climb you will fall it’s just a matter of time so why chance it? It only takes a second to hook it and once u get used to it you will love it because you can hook it up and lean back and work with 2 hands. Take a rope and drop it down so moms can fill your bucket with oil and all your tools
Man thank you!!!!! I’m so glad he said what he did! We would still have 79 subscribers if he hadn’t!!!!!! Thank you for watching!!! We’re trying to get better every day!!!
You are Correct! But, the anchors are all the exact same length and the holes in the tower are the same location, so if I get the bottoms perfectly level, the tops will be naturally. Makes for an easier install. Thank you so much for watching and liking the show!!!!!
Just recently found your Chanel and like it a lot. My experience is with slabs and anchor bolts and I was going wild while you were shooting the bottom of the footings. I sent tge note before I saw the feet on the tower…but it was too late! LOL. Keep up the good work!
I just found your channel recently yes thanks to puddin .I really do find it very interresting.i grew up in okc,in the 60s but thanks to uncle Sam ended up in tx and 60 years later still there, but like everything oklahoma.thanks for,taking us along
@@OkieWindmiller older tinker guy in Oregon claimed it did. He builds home built tractors for fun with flywheel make and break engines. I will see if I can find the video
Oh man I do! I have had another helper for a while trying to give her a break, but she hated staying home and she had a hard time with the other person knowing my needs.
There are hand signals that will help in crane operations. Ya’ll might want to look into using them. I know we used them offshore and we could set heavy objects where we wanted them.
I hired a crew from Dunn communications in Kiefer to dig a whole and set a pole for my new trailer and he did it for 50 bucks 26 years ago. I went out there when they pulled in and they had their truck parked in the street. Here comes a guy walking over to the spot with a pair of porthole diggers taller than the guy. He dug a 6 foot whole I said man I figured you would dig it with that big truck and he said we will but first we dig the this way so we don’t hit any thing.
I was wondering if you might be able to answer this for me, my daughter lives in Duncan ok. About 2 blocks south of the water tower , do you think it would be possible to put in a drive well for her lawn ? Or is it way to deep for that. Thanks
Man I don’t know about the water table there, would be hard to say. I would try it for myself but would hate to tell someone that I thought it might, and end up not working. Those driven wells are really neat when they work!!!!!!! Thank you for watching and if y’all do it, good luck!!!!
Well if they are the other way, the bolts touch each other on the inside, and can’t get sockets on them. We all do it that way. Thank you for asking! Makes since to put them the other way, but if you look at any windmill, that’s the way they are. This mill is t that way necessarily because they go in the corner and the bolts don’t intersect, but I guess this one was done that way out of habit….😀
I bet you are! That’s too much math for my brain!!!!😅 I searched and searched for that formula but apparently nobody agrees with each other……….so I just had to do my country math!!!😆
I now know you are a true craftsman at your job. Mixing concrete vs dry pouring shows you take pride in your work. I truly enjoy your videos, getting better with every new one you post.
Man thank you!!!!!!!!! Love to hear this type of feedback!
I have always been fascinated with windmills and have always wanted one. You and your assistant do great work. Really enjoy the content.
Thank you sooo much! You should get one!!!! 😀
You and “momma” getting it done!…like a well oiled machine!
Man yeah! Thank you sooo much!!!!!! Thank you for watching us and supporting us!!!!!!
You and your wife work so well together. Congratulations!
Thank you!!!!!!
What a beautiful team love how you guys are so loving to each other take care of that Beautiful woman ❤❤
Thank you! I am for sure and she takes care of me! 24 years so far!!!
Great truck! Thanks.

Rotary lasers that work great for what you do are not expensive. Glad to see you going to upgrade!
Yep it’s happening!!!!!! Thank you sir!! They will be so much easier, but this one has never failed me!!

Are those anchors sold as windmill anchors, or is that a design you did? Thank you. I love your channel and find it interesting.
They are my build, but exactly like the ones I get with a new windmill. 😀. Thank you so much!!!
Saw on a channel yesterday they hooked pump rod from windmill to a flywheel setup to drive a belt to cut his firewood.
Used old belt driven roundsaw.
Man that’s amazing! Did it work???

Yes sir she’s the best!!!!!!
somewhere over the rainbow you'll find Oz
😂
I need a helper like momma she keeps things organized and is ready with the next tool it can be hard to find good help
Oh man I know! They don’t make them very often these days, but they’re out there!!! She is amazing and thank you for noticing!!!!
I'm an electrical contractor and it's real hard to find good help
Man I know! Luckily I married one a long time ago and had 24 years to train her!!!🤣
I hope you treat you assistant well, a replacement would be hard to train.

Oh man!!!! That’s amazing! I have probably done that before(not 6’ deep, but 3’ deep 2’ round)🤣. These trucks sure do spoil us!
we have several areas of red dirt in northern wyoming
I’m didn’t figure we could be tho only lucky ones with the ole red dirt!!!!! 😀
It might be southern okie dirt but you can bet north of Henneryetta its Black gumbo
Boy you ain’t lyin!!!!!! Been there, seen it!!
Is this a second truck!
This truck dose not look like the Doage Ram is it International semi truck version with a service bed on it.
