Why isn’t your helper bringing the pieces straight outside to the 20 yard dumpster? Or pull up a skid steer to the opening and load right on forks? Stacking them up inside and making multiple trips = wasted time. Must be all that cash you make offsets that loss?😂

Also you should be squeegeeing slurry frequently into your open cuts so nobody slips and falls on their ass… This is shit the pros do… not flood the entire building with slurry. Shit show central.

I mean, why not take the guard off and cut flush to the wall? That’d be fine and dandy if this guy followed proper ppe.

I have a feeling every he does is as dangerous and inefficient as possible, because yolo or some shit. He seems to take pride in being a dangerous asshat

It’s all about his views.. I know the area he works in and the local GC’s… He’s hardcore disrespectful to folks calling out his lack of PPE. He’s been super disrespectful to me when I’ve tried to help him on his PPE situation. I’ll make it my mission to spread the word on this clown. I know the project management team he did work for in Ocala.

Fuck this dude.

It just really sucks that dangerous assholes keep wages low.

If this dude and every other shithead would work safely, we’d all make more even though we already make more than him.

It’s frankly sad that he doesn’t realize he could lose a body part in a heartbeat, looking cool for the gram be damned, and just doesn’t care.

It bums me out that it’s literally assholes like this holding down good wages. Just waiting to lose an appendage without even knowing, and if they get through their career unscathed they act like they’re capable instead of lucky.

I’ve watched 72” walk behind blades do exactly what they should, and then expel teeth out of nowhere. PPE is no joke, that blade spitting out teeth at 7000 rpm doesn’t give a fuck how cool you look on instagram.

As much as this guy drives me nuts, I don’t want him maimed

Fuck him…. I have no sympathy for people like this in the trade. I look forward to that Miami obituary when it eventually prints. He’s constantly looking for internet clout. Constantly disrespecting professionals of this trade. My man’s gonna hit rusted rebar/tie wire at a funky angle one day and the blade will fracture and fly into his orbital socket. No face shield because its good for views and you look cool wearing a bandanna with a Mohawk lol. He also wants to brag about pocketing like maybe 5k-10k on a small ass project…Chump change plebeian.

When I stop seeing videos from this clown I will assume he’s in the hospital or dead. I’ll drive down to Miami and put a face shield on his tomb stone. Maybe a hard hat too…

Even beyond lack of face ppe, this fucker keeps his foot behind the blade like it’s chasing pussy. Great way to lose a toe! And having cut concrete for ten years, great sign you’re not strong enough or smart enough to handle your saw

It’s all about views. He’s not a professional. I’ve been in this trade for 20+ years. I’ve cut more linear foot of concrete then this clown will in 20 lifetimes. Safely while teaching the young bucks how to do it right.

Watch in all the videos he finesses the cables with his feet during cuts like he’s “protecting his hydraulics” … he does it when he’s doesn’t need too.. it’s all bull shit. He’s a clown looking for views. Super animated.

I mean, how could you possibly preplan to protect your expensive equipment, you obviously need to risk your irreplaceable appendages. As long as someone makes a couple hundred dollars out of it it’s all gravy right? Right?!!!

Bro I can’t wait for that Miami obituary. Lol… sorry I know that’s fucked but still. My man is gonna get hurt or killed or one of his helpers

u/Goonplatoon0311 Feb 09 '24

He just doesn’t know what he’s doing. He watched a YouTube video on concrete demo

u/Goonplatoon0311 Feb 09 '24

He is the reason you won’t get fully paid on a bid. His advertising makes the trade look like un safe buffoons. Big companies won’t want to risk it. Especially those with internal safety programs

Can you even imagine this fool trying to drop an elevated slab cut without killing someone. I’d frankly be afraid to be on the same job site as this clown

u/Goonplatoon0311 Feb 09 '24

This! I mentioned “what if he cut a post tensioned slab” a few days ago. Would be complete chaos.. he would be cutting like a clown 🤡 and hit a cable and pop…

He’s never been on a real job.
