GUYS, DO NOT keep dumping gravel on top of gravel, waste of time, effort and money, get loads of hard core or broken bricks and compact it down with an industrial compactor in dry conditions and get some drainage run offs (shallow channels) or camber the whole thing outwards to drainage to stop heavy rain washing the whole thing away, then finish with a top layer of larger gravel size but it’s going to look good and keep asking advice cos it seems you’ve been given some bad on this driveway
Exactly, they should probably get in contact with a decent landscaping company. They ruts in the ground should not be happening on a brand new driveway 😮
Get a roll of plastic ground mesh, it’s like a roll of heavy plastic 4x4 mesh that acts like reinforcing steel in concrete, It spreads the weight so no ruts form.
Another old wive's tale is about Hedge trees. The more hedge apples the tree has, the harder and snowy the winter will be. Our hedge trees in west central Illinois have been loaded with hedge apples this year. I guess that the deer and squirrels will have food for the winter.
Been in the UK for 11 years. Happened across JTs channel semi recently? I am now on the books to move back HOME to VIRGINIA and it makes me so excited. Thank You both for keeping the American alive in me recently. Can't wait to see pond fishing/ outdoor camping or LORT knows what you both have in the works. Thank You Both.
Guys, you really need to get that driveway sorted- just a single size gravel on top of mud will just keep on sinking. You are going to need a good 300mm (12 inches) depth of a "Type 1" material (sorry, am in the UK so don't know the US equivalent) that is well compacted. Apart from that, looking good!
I have a dark brown cocker spaniel, and live in the countryside, you can't see him almost immediately we get out of the house, so when we go out in the dark we have a rechargeable dog collar for him, which is either fully lit or flashing!
U need some road grade terram, roll and compact the stuff thats down now, and fill those pits u have at the moment, then put some woven geotextile terram down, then put another decent layer, probably 100mm or 4 inch of gravel and roll it in,
I love the house updates. Also like any video where Maggie and Charlie are involved. Also you putting up your Christmas decorations video would be good.
cheap way to do what u want is 6 ich of 50 mil to act as base put 3 inch of 20 mil on top roll it in or drive up n down after some rain and its moved a bit 6 inch of 5 mil pea shingle , , this is how romans did roads and it allows the rain to dran off as ur drive is higher than the earth around it , water allways goes down hill
Hardcore rubble should have been laid on the driveway first, then the gravel put on top. That would prevent the gravel sinking and cost less in gravel.
Normally in the UK we would put down that gravel (or as we call it type 1) and compact it with a compactor to make a solid base. Are you not putting concrete pile to put the 'trailer' onto? 5'2" lol. if it's that dark have you ever looked at the night sky? maybe buy a Telescope to observer the heavens. get the dogs some light up collars. I thought that might have been Mistletoe!!
Loved the folklore with the seeds . can you set up the cornell bird app on your phone and show us what birds visit your patch of land .? looks gord for birding judging by the mixed woodland .
Love to watch your videos, so much is different from where you live to here in Yorkshire. I'm not sure we would be allowed to kill the moles with our dogs here. So much land too and even a pond, would need to be very wealthy here to own
I thought you had to lay a layer of hard core first then gravel , its good its a steep drive so the water can run off and you shouldn't get bogged in . Love the updates, your doing well keep going.
Log the old trees. Get some sacks and sell sacks of logs to someone with an open fire, barbecue, fire pit etc. Make a fire pit for yourselves to sit out on an evening. Not like you don't have the space lol
Hey guys, do you own a head torch. Used for camping. They are great for seeing where you are going in unlit areas. We go out to the woodpile in winter always with the torch it lights the whole yard.
Jeez, if you’re cold now then you best get more warm clothes if those “spoons” are correct. It’ll beno time n your new home will be here. Excited for you too. 👍🏻👏👏😍❣
Hi to you both, are you doing a septic tank or are you hooking up to a mains sewer and how far is there a water main from your house pitch, but good luck on the house project 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The gravel driveway has been done so badly. Either do it all again properly or you will forever have problems with it. Cheese and rice, they must be useless builders if they don't know how to construct a proper driveway. 🙄
So you guys are not going out at night because of the coyotes, but you will let the dogs out to pee. I think the coyotes are more likely to attack your little dogs than you. 🤔
I know its the dogs nature to hunt and kill the wildlife but it turns my stomach hearing the little critters screeching in pain and fear. I really would enjoy the videos better if this wasn't included. Sorry but us city folk ain't cut out for hunting and killing. Love the channel and hope all goes well in your up-coming project. x
That's true idont want to hear about little animals being caught or killed iknow nature is nature but really .moles squirrels etc should be allowed to be free .
@@julianash4663 sorry i only know because in the uk rabbits get mitosis witch makrs the rabbits blind and cant eat they walk around blind even in the day. So when i see them i put them to sleep i can't see them die slowly i know its not nice but they will suffer badly for weeks and weeks and thats how i know that they said like. Soory i didn't mean to upset you
@@leefoster1184 no it's ok in the UK now idont think they get it but I'm some areas they may rabbits and ant other creatures need there freedom and from pain as well . blessed be my friend our beautiful goddess is near to guide the animals
@anta3612 The roots of oak trees are shallower than deep but their root systems spread a lot which can obstruct a lot of foundations, pavements, water lines, fences, and so on. Moreover, the oak tree’s root system grows pretty quickly and it can cause cracks and tears.

Just get the guy back and get him to do the job properly.
You’re paying for it.

What about taste testing UK Christmas food, such as Christmas cake, Mince Pies, Pigs in Blankets, Christmas Pudding. Keep up the great work
For the driveway you should have used a (hardcore) brick rubble base and topped it with gravel
Ps. Save some of the good trees-branches for the pond
I was thinking the same, dumping loose gravel on soggy mud with no drainage is doomed to fail😂
Just buy the light up collars for the pups when then go out in the dark.

At least with those small trees cut down, you'll have a nice open area to push all the snow off your driveway into 👍
Drainage! So important as water can be so damaging to your pad and gravel driveway.
By your front door have a light as well that turns on when you walk past trust me so handy when you have shopping etc

I’d love to come over and help out with the landscaping , my other half thinks Anna is amazing
Make sure you've got a good generator guys. An absolute life saver in the snow
U need some road grade terram, roll and compact the stuff thats down now, and fill those pits u have at the moment, then put some woven geotextile terram down, then put another decent layer, probably 100mm or 4 inch of gravel and roll it in,
Get the dogs bells for their collars or get the light up collars until they're used to the new area
The Coyotes get a dinner bell?
@@beltrofix7667 ok
The last time I had a dog I bought a collar with flashing red lights, that way we could see him in the dark
I love the house updates. Also like any video where Maggie and Charlie are involved. Also you putting up your Christmas decorations video would be good.
You should sell the wood, winter drawing in, people will Need it
Your new best friend - gravel! It's amazing how the land eats it up.
You beauty. Its looking good for you all. Just waiting till 5ft 2 Anna avoids the Coyotee's lol
Put some edging down to stop the gravel running away, it would look neat too! 😉 Love that this is moving forward so fast!! ❤❤
It’s all constant money for young people trying to get a footing in life, every pound is a prisoner 🫶✌️🏴
@@ThomasKelly669 I can only imagine, but it's one of the best investments a young person could ever make as well 😉💖👌
It’s already forecast a bad winter for you over there. We’re going into an El Niño. So pretty shitty for us all xx
I’d love to see home updates and what you’re planning to do on the property in the spring/summer. Keep them coming love watching you both xx
cheap way to do what u want is 6 ich of 50 mil to act as base put 3 inch of 20 mil on top roll it in or drive up n down after some rain and its moved a bit 6 inch of 5 mil pea shingle , , this is how romans did roads and it allows the rain to dran off as ur drive is higher than the earth around it , water allways goes down hill
It’s coming along nicely I’d be scared to let my dog out if they where coyotes out there can’t wait to see the house on the nice bit of land 😊
Love seeing you guys and wish you every blessing and success as you build your home together.
Great updates guys, good luck with it all, hope it's all you want it to be. 💖
I love the updates , thank you JT and Anna♥♥♥♥
At least with lots of snow, it will be lighter on an evening.. Youll have some visibility
Hardcore rubble should have been laid on the driveway first, then the gravel put on top. That would prevent the gravel sinking and cost less in gravel.
The UK has no poison ivy JT. When you moving? 😂
Congratulations guy's it's going to be fantastic 😍
I really enjoying your updates and it’s freezing here in the uk also. We say old wives tales xx

And road terram would help

Be nice to see it completed and good luck . UK builders videos could be really funny for you to react to pranks and fails should both be good .
I thought you had to lay a layer of hard core first then gravel , its good its a steep drive so the water can run off and you shouldn't get bogged in . Love the updates, your doing well keep going.
Night vision cctv be good to see what's running around out there..

That's going to be cool when it's done 👍
Hi jt and Anna we have loads of snow in county durham in the uk 😢
3:38 Not even close to the one in Norway or those in Northern Ireland (Corcrain or Craigyhill) are two of the best known.
Loving the updates /Vlogs ,I wouldn’t be scared of the Coyotes it’s the Samsquanch I’d worry about lol
I think you should build a big fire pit so you can all sit around and bum the wood you have but tell stories or just hang out with family
Enjoying your videos 😊xx
What are them seeds you were opening up . Love your channel and love it when you keep us updated
I live in the middle of nowhere I don't go out at night either as it is very dark ✌️ From Scotland
I want to see a Christmas video in your new place please. 😁
Do you know what causes the ginger in your beard? I do and it explains why she smiles a lot.
Looking good
Temp today in the uk was around 3 degrees Celsius
Keep your chin up all will be OK in the end
Make a out door fire pit for all the wood
will you be having an enclosure for some highland cattle
Only here for Anna ❤❤
The eating ones 🍽️😊
What do you plan on doing with the land?
Hi to you both, are you doing a septic tank or are you hooking up to a mains sewer and how far is there a water main from your house pitch, but good luck on the house project 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
They said on a previous theyre having a tank put in
@@anthonynoblett952 I must have missed that, thanks for the info.
I'd love to see more taste testing videos.
Played on my mind that poor creature screaming like something from a horror movie! 😥
Have you thought of tarmac on your driveway
Why do you guys not pave your driveway with tar or concrete?
How cold is cold?
I watched the video, but must of missed the bit where a problem that could ruin everything was mentioned. What is the problem? lol
I think they are referring to the predicted harsh winter. Could delay delivery of their house and push back their move?
What could ruin everything??
Are you not having a log burner in your new house?? You’re surrounded by free fuel
Looks like you’re in middle of nowhere
That's horrible hearing an animal screaming in agony
