This removal was a grueling experience folks. We removed three floor layers, then removed three colonies with a ton of comb, lots of history here but not a lot of bees. One colony was doing pretty well (the last one removed) but I was disappointed that these hives didn't have more numbers.

They just didn't seem strong like the bees I'm accustomed to removing. We got all three queens and they are set up in new spots now in Schawee and Emil's yards. One may be combined with another, can't recall what Emil said he's doing.

We filled the void spaces with insulation and put the floor back in place, nailed down as well. The customer was very happy with our work.

This was a rough job, not something you want to duplicate anytime soon.

Thank you Schawee & Emil for the extra effort on this one!

Another fine job.  That looked like a grand old house, from what I could see.  I love the big old houses and the old-world craftsmanship.  Of course, that does make working on them a bit more difficult.  With three layers of flooring, you could have parked your truck in the living room!

I needed that tonight thanks a ton guys, we had a huge front come thru with hail and I can see stars through our roof sitting here in my kitchen right now. All the widows on the west and north side are busted out, roof is shot, garage doors and siding are toast, my work truck is beat to a pulp and the windows are all busted, glad my garden hasn't come up yet. Nothing money can't fix we are blessed, critters and everybody were in the basement.

Schawee you look like your waisting away, quit it, before long you'll be skinnier than Emil!

So what were you eating JP??

This was difficult and I can see you guys were truly tired after all that.  Glad that most of them aren't like this one.

It was a Thai buffet. The lady swears it wasn't chinese food but Schawee begs to differ!  :-D

I don't like those indoor jobs...I like to see you fellows outside...so, I'm glad this one is over. Funny that when you look worn out at the end of a job, I feel tired at the end of the video!

Dinner looks like fun, though. And Schawee, dude, you're face is getting that lean, chiseled look. Thumbs up.
