7 years !!!.... slow down you mad mam ! dam it Rob your making the rest of us look bad !!! 😂🤣😂 Looks great Rob well done mate . Nice to see your twin getting in on the action too👍🇬🇧
No need to rush into it like I did. If I need any more work done I've decided to wait another 7 years and by then young fella will be 21 years old and still living at home without paying board - so he can do it all himself. I call this philosophy "seizing the moment" 🤣 You have nieces and nephews if not kids of your own don't you?
Thanks man - yeah I'm definitely a straight line guy. I could easily have obsessed over this job for another seven years getting it perfect but I had to build in a few imperfections to match the shitty green moldy colour of the wall there 😁👏🏼 (that wall is really bugging me now btw)
Rob Trautvetter - Takami Woodshop LOL and Lou f’ing ground rods suuuucks. Is that for lightning protection? We only use them for the electrical ground in the states, unless on the rare occasion you have lighting spikes on the roof and cable them to ground.
yep - electrical ground - lightning as well but your house would be destroyed before any of it got to earth - you need a rod on top for that. I've been in a building that got hit - it was a game arcade - have you ever seen every single person step away from the machines in a video arcade and the same time and all lose one life? (and all scream wtf) I haven't either since then.
@@TakamiWoodshop I've been in many building that's been hit. In the northern US we have very violent storms, lighting rods, etc - is why I know about them. Around here... well I just get down to the skivvies and run around on the lawn waiting for a hit so the insurance will pay out
Hi Rob, I saw the Sloth & the Snail at the finishing line waiting for you after 7 years 😮😜, however there offspring were most pleased to see this excellent end result mate 🍺🍺🍺🍺, brilliant video & proves that we don’t have to do inside workshop videos all the time, Prost 🍻
hehe yeah it was a bit of a case of the sloth the snail and the tortoise as well but worth the wait I guess. Cheers mate - yes - it's good to get out and do something else - I almost didn't film this but changed my mind at the last minute. kampai brother 🍻
Cheers Jim, I'm enjoying going back and watching my old videos before I respond to your comments. Well, I'm enjoying _some_ of them at least, but you know how that goes 🤣 This one I actually quite enjoyed. Wish I could speak faster sometimes - getting in front of the camera makes me go into slow motion.
HA! you're right ! That's Genniuss! Thanks mate - everyone is happy now but I have a sore back. 🍔 Got more to do still unfortunately - in other parts of the property (groan)
@@TakamiWoodshop well I am irish I know mu guinness 😂 I know how you feel bro I carried 30 boxes of laminate flooring and underlay up the stairs of the new house the other day my body isnt able for that 🤣
Cheers dude. HA! - I think cider might have crept up the wall and killed the green mold. I'll have to try it next time. Actually I have two more paving jobs to do. This was the second one. The first one was training for this, and this is training for a much bigger job - a carport - I was aiming to learn how to work with the layers of material and screeding etc - I did learn a lot. I want to do a rental do-up like you.
I have to get really thick pavers - about 80mm (slabs? - what do you guys call these?) and quite thick layers of the base course and the bedding sand. Luckily the process is fairly well established and easy to find online. I'm renting a digger for this job, and I have a few trees etc to get rid of first. I've been planning this for 3 - 4 years already - things move slowly here in semi-rural NZ. We don't even have electricity yet. That's why I use battery tools and we only have static electricity going into that earth rod 😆
@@MrGeoffreySmith Interesting - slab is a larger concrete area here - say, a whole carport or whole house size. Off grid life - that must be ... dunno if I could do that.
Mate! what an absolute magnificent job 👍🏽 7 years and this is the outcome, you've got to be pretty chuffed. Inspired yourself to pull ya finger out and give ya thumb a go! 😉🤣🤣🤣
thanks mate! Here's a sidebar - I used to play pool with a group that included an Argentinian guy whose English wasn't the best. Whenever somebody spent ages lining up a shot we'd all yell out Come on mate PULL FINGER!! And it turns out we find out later that the Argy thought we were saying "POOL FINGER" and could never figure out wtf it actually meant. Well we all laughed our a$$es off after that but ever since then ... whenever I hear that expression, to me it's just "pool finger" now.. LOL 🎱👇🏼 👍🏼👍🏼 cheers dude! - btw I am SUPER happy to have gotten this job done and finally gave my thumb a go🤣😲.
Gidday Chris my back's so sore it'll be another 7 years before I can do this again properly. Unfortunately I've got another section to do THIS WEEKEND.It's hot as hell here at the mo too 29 degrees!!!
The more experimentation I do with beer the more I learn what a versatile commodity it is. I have a long way to go to discover it's full potential though, but I'll work hard at it every weekend - I promise. 😉🍻
HAHAHA - legend - yes I didn't think of that. I've unwittingly increased efficiency of capital expenditure and labour by ... [some amount] but at the expense of utility and nagging endurance mental health I have to admit. 🤣
Seven years duration, working in flip flops, getting concrete drunk. using child labour, Jeezuz Rob, all sorts of government departments will be knocking on your door once this gets out! Bloody nice job though mind.
Nice job mate, although I have to say the Devils in the details and the details are in the planning, only 7 years to plan I think you have rushed things a bit buddy 👍👍😂😂
Yeah I might have gone over the top with enthusiasm - I was a bit worried about that. Next job is a carport - been planning that for 3 years and I'm getting ready to start soon .. but on second thoughts I better give it another 3-4 years of consideration. Not enough?
I can see the way your thinking there mate, move right into the carport whilst your in the zone but consider this that’s how mistakes are made when you rush into things 🤔🤔 I would give it a good 10 years of planning if I was you 👍👍👍
@@TakamiWoodshop Great project Rob but have to agree with Graham ... no need to rush, its all in the planning, you just have to leave something to do when you're retired one day !!!
Bahaha, and then how do I get it back in the bottle 😭 lucky I didn't show that part in the vid. It would be good though cos you'd only have to walk through there to get "on the piss".

When a man promises to do something there's no need to remind him every two years, he'll get it done eventually.

Looks great Rob well done mate . Nice to see your twin getting in on the action too👍🇬🇧
Did I overdo it? I was worried about that. It was because the twin and the kid made me work so efficiently. hehe
Cheers Trev (🇬🇧 not 🦘 😉)

7 years to get all of that done! I've been in my place for 15 years and I still need to do the backyard. 😂

Thanks heaps Dave!
When putting in an earth rod have the hose running into the ground to soften the soil, sometimes you can then just push it in.
Great tip cheers! Didn't think of that.
Worked out great! I wonder what that mix would have been like if you had used cider instead of beer......😂

Hi there!
Very good job, thumbs up.👍
Greetings from my Austrian channel
Thanks mate! I checked out your channel - pretty cool vids!
Nice job👍👍, just think, if you did it 7 years ago you would probably have had to redo it by now again. You've saved yourself a job.

hehe, the child labour was a plant - has been very handy to be able to blame him for the mess these past seven years 😵
@@TakamiWoodshop Not to mention the faceless dodgy sparky ... nicely done, though. Hope my wife doesn't see this. PP
