      For the facial device, does it include a "significant other"? Asking for a friend! :)

    Just a suggestion, Riley may want to look into building a rock/soil screen for a future episode. With all the existing raw materials you have on the property, you could probably rock the whole driveway with cleaner material. Design it with a removable screen bed and you’d also be able to size the rock to better fit your needs. I have no doubt Riley could build something like this in just a day or two. And it would probably benefit the homestead for decades to come. Just my 2 cents. Absolutely love this channel!!!

    • @georgedreisch2662
      @georgedreisch2662 Год назад +6

      Taking this suggestion a step further, look to establishing a area to quarry the raw materials.

      and don't work on roads when they are wet and muddy if you can possibly do it when it is drier. crown the roads also to keep the water from sitting on the road. Add water bars to drain water off the road on slopes.

    • @MrCabbage64
      @MrCabbage64 Год назад +1

      How about a rock crusher so you can get a regular size for the road? Would help remove all the larger bits.

    I am loving the new room as it will give you options for the next couple of years. Even though the stairs are narrow, they are still stairs offering a second egress. I also like the idea of a door at the bottom of the stairs.

    To help keep the mud at bay lay down Geotechnical fabric meant for roads before dumping gravel. It helps to keep the dirt from mixing with the rock and letting the rocks get pushed into the dirt and the dirt squishing up through the rocks. To help keep the rock in place you can use the various geocell products that use cells to contain the top layer of rock. Really stabilizes the rock and makes it feel like you're driving on concrete.

  • @marshallhoux7987

    You might consider putting in a French drain in that area to help with the water move away from the area and over the bank

  • @chrlsraines
    @chrlsraines Год назад +2

    Gravel helps but proper drainage solves the issue. French drains and underground storage tanks will keep the yard and driveway area dry while draining controlling excess runoff and storing usable water

    • @MacGyver2154
      @MacGyver2154 Год назад +1

      Exactly, kinda looks like the road is the main draining ditch. I'm sure Riley has a plan for that.

    I admire you guys, I am a 69 year old rancher in Texas. you have so many good ideas. i am surprised that you did not put a heavy duty hinge at the top of stair case to pull it up out of the way, like old fire escapes. I was a fireman for 15 years, Riley needs a fire pole to just slide down when he is in a hurry. cant wait to see the baby.

    Riley. check around for a machine- of it could be a Home grown device- in your neighborhood called a "Grizzly'- they separate rock and dirt using different sized screens- that would improve your hard, insoluble rock content, control sizing better and turn your "rocky bonanza" into much more useful fill and construction base. I think you have some more "dozer content" coming. Also more shed building! It's awesome to see you able to use all the tools you've acquired from start up.

    What an awesome surprise to wake up to this weekend, I knew the mezzanine was coming but didn't realize how quick. You guys absolutely killed it once again! The mezzanine is amazing and going to be awesome having that extra space, so much room for activities! Did you have to remove one of the outlets near the bottom of the stairs? Looked pretty close when putting it in.
    Hopefully mud season isn't too bad for you guys, it's starting to be more spring like over here (Washington), I'm definitely ready for some nice weather.

    I would feel better about that narrow back staircase if you put some shelving/cabinets underneath it to add some additional structural support. I know you're both talented fabricators but you can't be too careful!! Plus, it's a shop. Who doesn't want more storage?

  • @keithviolette5870
    @keithviolette5870 Год назад +4

    Riley, Another great video!
    One suggestion that may help with the mud: Under the 12' x 34' deck I built recently I added a way to channel the water away from the house. Half of your roof runoff, and all of the deck runoff could be channeled away from the driveway, which could help lessen the mud.

    Turn down your trailer brake controller when its empty. The wheels just lock up and then it slides sideways. I turn the gain on mine most of the way down with an empty trailer. Especially when its slick. Just dont forget to turn it back up once your back on good pavement especially when loaded. Its really a good practice to get used to adjusting the gain when you change trailer loads. The brake controller can be your friend.

  • @niconico3907
    @niconico3907 Год назад

    For your mud problem near the house, you should install gutters on your house. Gutters will catch and divert all rain and snowmelt away from the house, and putting it either to good use, or somewhere where it doesn't cause you problems.

    Well done. That's going to be a nice addition to your living space. Trust me on this, you will be astonished at how fast a baby fills space!
    Watching the section where the trailer was sliding it occurred to me that you could put chains on some or all of the trailer wheels and it might keep it straight behind you - a major feature if it had a heavy load on it.

    You guys have always been and definitely are an absolute JOY to watch ! Now that you're both pregnant ( btw you are already GLOWING Courtenay) the focus of your movie will change ( getting down and back is now a MUST and no longer can be delayed until your road and the main road clear. Riley's 'job' is to clear 'ground' ahead to facilitate Mom and wee one to get off to a good start,something which he is ideally suited for.
    I can't wait !!

  • @teropiispala2576
    @teropiispala2576 Год назад

    You'd need a heavy duty filtering fabric between the mud and rocks to make it work. Frost will just lift those rocks up every spring.
    If you don't want to get rid if the mud and put water passing soil and draining, then put the fabric, then some gravel, big rocks, smaller rocks and surface layer. Otherwise mud fill the gaps between rocks.

  • @jeffhockey5163

    There is a way to put chains on your tires without laying down in the mud. Stretch the chains out on the ground, in front of the tires. Drive onto the chains about half way, then wrap the ends of the chains to the top of the tires.

  • @ashleynevins4458

    After having enjoyed a bunch of the videos at your Idaho empire, the placement of the house is helping to create the mud hole on the hill,,ie- you've excavated into the hill with the house pad and your equipment storage area,the ground seeps are surfacing in the mud hole,no where near enough drainage on uphill and front of the house. A French drain with filter fabric 6"-8" underdrain pipe would help immensely. But dig out the muck first,then add the rock to stiffen the ground and provide a good base for your road and storage area,and you have all the tools to accomplish the job.

    Hey guys for the mud problem. Something I instruct my crews to do every night during the mid season is to back blade the area smooth. This allows the water to sheet flow away and not get stuck in the ruts. Once smooth the soil will start to dry out faster when the winds start to pick up.

    Nice work. Those stairs remind of the houses my grandparents (oma and opa) had in Amsterdam. All you need to make them "proper" Amsterdam stairs is to at a 90 degree turn at the top and bottom. What you built is safer and easier to use. Good luck getting all the big construction done before the baby arrives. Trust me the 1st year is a life changer. It will be both exhilarating and exhausting. You have both shows to be able to work through big projects together. Your next adventure will be even bigger. Congrats and enjoy!

    About your muddy driveway, have you considered putting a geotextile fabric down over the rough surface and then adding about 5" of crushed rock or gravel as your top layer? It should work to keep the top layer of rock from sinking down into the dirt and ending up with mud again. Just a thought, it worked for me.

    Looking good. Always enjoy. I’d sure look at putting a gantry crane or some type of hoist built into the mezzanine.

    It is also a good spot to put in a Vacuum elevater... for when your knees have had enough of stairs. Good job, kids I mean Mom and Dad...😊

    On the first step, yall should put the flooring right above as wide as the desk.. use every space. When coming down the stringer, your head will just miss the joist by a foot.

    You may want to build a screen for separating rocks from dirt then you can use the stones for the driveway and the dirt for fill or a garden
