Going in from the Top
« on: July 23, 2009, 09:13:07 am »
Well, my 2 story cutout was on Sat.  Went pretty well.  Robo bee vac worked great. 

Cut a hole in the floor on the 2nd story.  It was fairly easy.  Next time, I will make the whole a little larger from the start so when I lift up, there are larger amounts of comb on the floor as I lift it out.  The larger pieces fit into the frames more easily.

The homeowner used my camera and video taped a good bit.  I did my best to cut it down to about 12 min.  Did not want to cut out anymore because I know he was excited to be able to show all his friends/family the video and there are a few funny spots in there due to his comments.  He even got stung 5 times, but after each one he came back.  He was so intriged by it all.  I never once said he had to stay to video or take pictures.

Anyway, the video and pictures are on my blog.

Going to do another cutout this evening.
