If I ever get a Genie lift, I pretty much decided it has to be 45 foot. Much less, isn't worth getting. Often you loose height to get close to what you have to get at.

Those boom over trucks are especially bad. I think the telescoping boom lifts would be a lot better about that.

I'm not aware of any bathroom facilities or even running water in the building except for the downstairs shop area.

Plus, heating and cooling a steel-roofed building? Haven't seen the plan yet.

In a couple different videos you can catch some footage of the heated part. Only one shipping container is heated, and in that there is a full bathroom with running water. The man is busy, so I don't see him just wasting an entire day with the couch potato bit, so he's got just what he needs, nothing more, a place to sleep and a bathroom. The large steel roof section is not heated, at least not yet in his videos.

His shop is not typically heated, he has a heating unit in it but he doesn't run it. I do all my maintenance outside, so I see the huge plus of having a large indoor shop to work on things. I see a lot of comments complaining about it not being heated, so what? Just because you "need" heat to get work done, not everyone does, just being out of the wind is a gigantic improvement.

My house is heated (sort of) but I have to watch the Lady Friend constantly Shivering. I find i difficult to watch someone in physical discomfort.

It's what I kind of thought of with Andrew. Maybe OK for him. But what about a partner?

I can't comment on his personal situation, he seems to keep that quite private. There have been women in his videos, and he's responded in comments saying that none have been his sister. Maybe he only keeps them around through the summer, maybe he doesn't have time, and possibly they can't keep up with him, so they're gone? Maybe they only hang out in the heated part, who knows. Don't see many helpers in any of his videos, he's a one man crew.

OK Now I am confused. I was looking for a video of that tracked man lift. Incidentally, my Utility came across a snowy field with one and a small tracked crane to change my transformer last winter.

So, I didn't find anything on the lift. But I did find a short interview with Andrew. Seems he is living in that container castle with "one room heated". I guess, he was living at his parents house.

I wonder how that castle met any building codes for occupency. Seems like a very unsuitable building for typical modern living standards.

I've often wondered about building codes, too. Don't remember Andrew ever mentioning them or insurance.

His new machine is cool but looks like an accident waiting to happen. Looks top heavy, both driving and operating. I wonder if that’s why the seller got rid of it. I hope it doesn’t happen but he is likely on a path to a serious injury if he doesn’t up his game a bit on the safety stuff.

I think that he does have a young son, who obviously does not live with him.

 

[Industrial Toys]

Oh, come on. If that were true, he wouldn't have anything and be living out of the trunk of a twenty year old car.


But I have no doubt he completely reads and understands the manuals of all equipment he buys prior to operation.

Insurance on a solid steel structure that has literally zero lumber. You think it’s going to burn or blow away?

 

[Industrial Toys]

You think an insurance company is going to give you a break? Say someone sticks their tongue onto the steel in the terrible cold, and looses a tongue. Imagine the lawsuite.

Toys,
If you've got a lady shivering to be around you, in CANADA!, you must be a great big hunk of burning love. (-:

I can only imagine the stupidity!

Hurts just thinking about it.

I was thinking of accident insurance.

How did you find that out? I've never seen a hint in any of his videos. Granted, I probably haven't seen all of them.

It’s fairly improbable that the woman is just an employee as claimed but I haven’t seen any evidence of him having a son. Although I think he does have another house besides the castle.

I think he might drop a tree on something he doesn't own, dig up a fiber logic cable, or his crane might runaway again and hurt or kill somebody. The possibilities of an accident are numerous.

I don't KNOW that,......I think that!
Don't remember the info source that led me to believe that.

 

[Industrial Toys]

I have probably seen every video. Never seen a hint of "kid stuff" around. And his relationship with his dogs, kind of makes be think he doesn't have a kid.

I think his ability to keep his private life quiet and people speculating is very good
