Love it! Awesome as always, Matt. It was a blast spending the day with you and your team! Montana had a blast!
Love me some TPT!! 😍
Montana is pretty as a peach.
Montana is super adorable and clearly an expert. You guys built an amazing trailer, and we know Matt's gonna put it all to very good use. Making us all Texas proud.
HELLOOOOO MONTANA!!!! 😍😍😍
A woman named Montana living in Texas. Don't get ant better that that.
And that was an awesome trailer too. Not even sure that Matt could break it 🤣
A girl called Montana, delivering a trailer from Texas Pride that uses a star spangled remote. That is America!
Plus the championship NCAA belt buckle! Eat'em up Kats!
Sure is Purdy and the girl was nice as well 😂
@@myitbos1335noticed that too. My wife went to Sam Houston.
I’m moving to Montana
Montana knew her stuff. You go girl. Those 3 story cabin rooms are prime real estate. I can only imagine how much that will cost to refurb especially with the engineering of the under structure. Good luck.
probably the only series on youtube that will have over 100 episodes, and will still get steady views
Edit: not the only one, but it will be one of the few
Well Alex Steele was at like 40 for a sword build so he has to beat that
McJuggerNuggets I believe has the longest episodes
Theres some gaming youtubers that have over 500 episodes
@@corium5730 yeah but uninteresting content, you know what i mean? as i said, active and steady viewer counts
@@corium5730ethoslab with his let's play world
Montana is impressive with her knowledge and sense of humor. She is a keeper.
Sometimes of girls are taught up right. 😊
@@VinnyUnionwdym
she read the brochure
@@TheNewD7a smart salesperson would want to do that to be knowledgeable of what they sell.
@@heatherreich2687where they at though
I can just imagine what a colab with someone like Heavy D on cleaning up place and making a pond would look like or a pool restoration colab with others can't wait to see who all helps and what all you do these videos are awesome.
It's cool seeing that backhoe. I retired from Cat 3 years ago. Back in the early 80's, I designed the original buckets, bucket linkages, the extendable stick, and several other systems on the backhoe loader. A lot has changed since then, but I was there at the very beginning. It's always cool seeing the backhoe on TV shows and movies knowing I played a big role in designing it.
Wow that is pretty cool, what was your job called? Did you do the Design or mechanics
@@henning6158 I was a mechanical engineer in my early 20's. I had target weights, volumes, rotation geometry, and others on the buckets. I laid out the designs and created most of the drawings for manufacturing. I also worked with the factory in the UK on tooling and other manufacturing issues. I really enjoyed the work.
You should go engineer our pickup trucks because the quality control is gone. Gone man its a facade
Thank you, I'm a big fan of your work 👍👍
@hamilde a school friemds Grandfather designed the 4in1 front bucket for JCB, he didnt have the same surname as my friend and I cant remember it now 😐😂
Matt, you should have a clay bottom in the pound to help keep the water from seeping into the ground.
That may be the dirt he dug out, the clay liner that has dried out.
@@patches350 I doubt that, it looked more like topsoil to me. Dried clay’s is still pretty dense and compact.
That would just mean a lot of dirty doggy paws!
Hey, Matt, if the water is not too deep, they make black plastic liners if no broken glass, plastic, or sharp rocks to cut the plastic pond liner.
The dirt needs to be packed otherwise the pond will be muddy and water won't be clear. For context I've worked for a pond management company. Love the content.
Needs a clay bottom.
couldn't it also leak as well if not compacted?
What I was coming to say
But if he gets rid of the dirt completely down to rock, then say he seals it, how would it get muddy expect from whatever dirt the wind blows in?
Clay bottom. I have rich old othodontists in my family that moved to a manmade lake built for water skiing and it had the softest clay at the bottom
I could watch a four hour long video of this. I just love seeing it all come together slowly. I've been watching this channel for years and I know with Matts determination, he'll turn that resort into something special. Can't wait so see it someday.
Neither dog nor A person can replace the beauty of love and family. When you love with your whole heart it is the gift from the universal architect creator. It is the gift that cannot be replaced when we love each other.
Off the ranch videos are better when they're longer. You can explain more, and we appreciate that.
There might be dirt over that rock for a reason. The water might drain out of your pond through it. We put clay liners in the bottom of a pond that has a lot of rock or sand to prevent that. Standard is 2' of clay.
This is exactly what I came to comment section for. I was thinking that immediately when he said he was going to try to make it deeper. It's very unlikely that bedrock is sealed enough and has no huge cracks to let all the water out. I'm not sure though. Maybe being constantly well fed is enough to keep a steady amount of water in a small pond?
I was in the excavation game for almost 20 years and I 100% agree
The best part of these renovation videos is that they are so entertaining that you forget how long the renovation has been going on for, like with abandoned mansion
I actually missed the abandoned mansion project and didn't want it to end. This adventure is 10x more epic.
See the light in Matt's eyes every time he says "some day".
This is a lifetime project.
The Abandoned Mansion was just warm up time for this epic adventure.
I'm booking a room or cabin as soon as they go up!
I hope that the homey environment is maintained.
I'd love to see Matt, Mere and the kiddos just going about their day whilst I get in some shooting, fishing and swimming.
Hope to share a drink or three with Matt and Mere as well.
Oh, what will the food situation be?
I'm hoping for at least one day of communal dining (bed and breakfast style) in each week. Maybe on Sunday?
Good to see the SPEED TOOLS INC Race Case being used. Enjoy!
love the no renovation- renovation episodes. unlimited content with the resort could have us watching for years to come!
As someone who watched almost every off the ranch video, I am super pumped Matt finally got his backhoe he wanted after all those years. Congrats and keep up the great content dude!
Shoutout to the texas pride delivery girl, she knew her stuff and was an expert at explaining the trailer. Solid company!
Yep, I noticed Hannah said some stuff for a few minutes. I think she would make a great receptionist/tour guide for the Ranch.
@@madmex2k chill
@@madmex2kbro why you tryna fck the delivery girl?
@@fatstrfulong he needs to chill
acted like she was making $10k off the sale and that demo-ing it was all that would sell it lol...try hard of a rep
Idea for you. Assign volunteers to particular rooms for clean up. Then for each room or area they take care of, they get a credit for one day stay when the resort is opened.
Bless his wife for indulging him. Men and his toys. My hubby is the same about boats and trucks. When through the construction toys early. Now older it's boats and trucks.
I've been watching demo & off the ranch for over 6 years and literally never lose interest. Can't wait to see what this resort turns into.
Because he keeps evolving into bigger and better things, yet he stays the same, his ego, his personality. It’s all the same Matt
Sup short timer? Just playing lol.
@@Jschmitz17 I can't wait for Matt to renovate a city in 10 years.
The Kardashians wish they were this interesting
Same here but problem over 6 years, literally the only channel I still watch religiously.
It doesnt matter how long the videos are, they always seem to end way too quickly! There is so much potential in this place and I am confident you will make the most of it! Keep up the good work!
The land has been resting and waiting for someone to come love it. So happy you have saved this place.
First off Montana was cutie , second The Desperado is going to be a beautiful place once again when you all get done with it , I can just imagine the main gate being the Demolition Ranch eagle logo
I hope this resort becomes everything you dreamed it to be Matt 😊
The excitement I get when you upload one of these episodes :) Feel like your living out a dream alot of us have!
Agree with you this
That's pretty much all RUclips is for me, me living vicariously through these RUclipsrs.
It’s crazy that only 20 years ago drones were just coming out and to get great shots like that you needed a helicopter and a professional cameraman
How adorable was Montana from Texas Pride! 😍
Very
Dude that Tool Box is the Shit to have out in the Field. Inevitable left in the Body of the Bed in the Rain, that Box Looked virtually watertight
This channel is one I never miss an episode. Always entertaining.
I'm telling you Matt. Between your content and the incredible cinematography from both your editor and you.... I keep thinking how can these videos get any better... and yall just keep delivering
The 3 story cabins are the highlight of the property for me, I hope you find a way to save them, I would definitely book a room with a view those cabins offer!
Should put in some of those shed tiny home conversions so i can easily book my stay in my own private spot on the ol' airbnb. Put gun safes in them for the RANGE
Whoever does the editing for these videos is next level.
I heard it was deez
Deez nuts!! ;)
It’s deez
Makes sense. Deez does the best edits
@@JaredLetoSelfSuck deez who 😏
That alarm clock at 23:45 probably still works. I received one exactly like that as a high school graduation gift in 1991 and it finally just stopped working a couple of years ago. Best alarm clock I ever had. I went to look for another one like it to replace the one that stopped working and you can't find them anywhere.
My brother has found all kinds of things like your alarm clock on ebay. he wanted an indoor grill that my mom had in the 70s and found two!
I enjoy the longer videos as it gives us a chance to explore this place and watch it change
cant wait till we are 100 episodes in! this is going to be exciting!
I say 150 episodes....lol
seeing this whole video and being super entertained to end it with you handing with ur son, he's fishing while deer's walk around and people are smiling! Wholesome AF
There seems to be a copious amount of Red Wasps nests on the property. One of the best things I’ve found to combat wasps or yellow jackets is a bad-mitten racket. Wasp spray is great to kill the nest, but when they start chasing you, and they will absolutely come after you, spray is useless; a bad-mitten racket is pretty effective for knocking wasps out of the air.
For cheap easy landscaping by using native shrubs and trees. Create pathways and use trees to create "secret areas" design or secret garden look. With signage along paths. Always creates a magical experience
Maybe you could build a nice little island in the middle of the pond with a tree or two for some of those exotic birds.
I clicked this as soon as the alert came across. So stoked for this project.
Wait, am I the first comment? 😂
Idk i think so
Nope broden6416 got first, shuffle by new and go down. You lost its over give up 😭
Can’t wait to see that pond but I have a feeling you’ll have to get it clay lined otherwise it will have so really awfull leaks and your well will be on constantly
One day it’s going to be simply Awesome. So happy your kids like camping and fishing. Every child needs to have adventures.
New 'toys' are always FUN!!!! The personal 'Tour Guide' is ahMAYzing!!!! 🥰 Shower/tub combos, please!!!
I have taken nothing but showers for years.! A female issue....anyway, now that I am older, a shower is all there is for me! Shower/ tub combos are best.
Man I can’t wait till 2, 3, 4 years down the line when this place is ready and fully operational
2-4 years fully operational, i give 1.5 years before they are atleast taking guests.
Same here..... I'll definitely be there in the first year it opens 🤘🤘
And thus the reason for Matt to buy the abandoned resort. He finally had an excuse his wife will say yes for buying a backhoe.
What Matt has done is ensured that he has content for many years to come! Good job Matt! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
He's building a legacy like has was taking about.
Matt, you need one of those Decked' tool boxes in the bed of your truck... they are pull out drawers the length of your bed, and waterproof. Also allow you to still use the bed...
Would be a great sponsorship opportunity...
Matt, my husband has been an insulator here in West Texas for decades. It is common for he and the crew to do vacuum jobs. They vacuum out all the old dirt, insulation, and such from attics. It could save you from tearing out those ceilings. I'm guessing you've had generations of raccoons, possums, foxes, etc, living in those attics. There are probably insulation companies near you who will do a vacuum job for you. Then you can re-insulate, and clear caulk between those ceiling boards.
Bat guano?
Your edits are always phenomenal, always so good
From what I've picked up for ponds you don't wanna get all the way to bed rock because the water will find its way out and your pond will leak. You want clay down and then you can get a chemical to mix into the water that will help plug up any possible leaks. The best option would be too talk too Lunker he knows about building ponds from experience
Loving that you're embracing the longer format videos.
The pipeline requires the flat bars on the digging buckets as a safety precaution. They aren't as likely to puncture through a pipe in case of a line found in the wrong spot. Also, it gives the welders a nicer flat area to work under the pipe.
As your a relative newbie to backhoes, if the Cat machine seems high reved and jumpy, prehaps look into swapping it out for a John Deere. Deere backhoes are a better known than the Cat variant. The plate on the teeth was likely for finish grading work to leave a smooth surface. You should either cut the plate off, or remove it all as a unit and install new tooth caps.
Just another reminder for the wine opening. Use a torch instead of a screw to remove cork without a mess
I didint think of that good idea
Barrett 50 cal will open up those bad wines really quickly if you ask me and thats kinda in our alley
Fantastic video! Great multipliers to the property! Those wooden slat ceiling? Don't tear them out...clean the attic space and put a barrier down to prevent dirt and debris from ever falling down again. Thank you all for your efforts! Desperado Ranch is going to be AWESOME!
Matt is an insane person in the best way possible. Who would do this? I guess a Range with a full resort would be pretty dope.
DIG BABY DIG!!! dig some BIG holes, and bury anything that cannot be burned!!!
The 3 level buildings are cool, you talked about replacing the showers with tubs BUT you need to remember the need for handicapped accessible bathrooms that require walk/roll in showers and no steps which I bet those bottom levels are set up as😊. Too cool!!!
Absolutely loving the desperado resort episodes plus the hour long ones are a blessing.. Now 2 a week please lol
Hey Matt love the shows like always. I have a suggestion for those wasp nests, spray them at night while they are sleeping and you will be less likely to be stung
Buy a forestry mulcher attachment for your skid steer it will help you clear the property more environment friendly without burning
That's one thing about doing a renovation, flexibility. You have to roll with the punches and keep on moving forward.
Thanks for touring the houses on the bluff! So far, they are my favorites.
Only 99 at 12:30 here in El Paso. Guess we are having a cool day. So much potential Matt. Can't wait to see the progress and take the kids when it's finally done.
Awesome trailer would have preferred fifth hitch instead of gooseneck. Pond is going to be awesome and stocked with fish.
Love seeing these longer videos. Thank you for your time matt.
Montana's description of the trailer reminded me of the court scene in My Cousin Vinny with Marisa Tomei when she was on the witness stand. Loved this!!
Hey Matt. Great place for zip lines down to the river. After waking up on the 3rd floor, you could zip line down to your friends staying in the Airstream. FUN.
You just might need a thumb for that bucket….awesome video!
It would be great to have a little history area in one of the buildings that has documents and photos of this place.
Matt I’m going to need two hour long episodes. K thanks 🙏🏽 😊
Please make My Favorite TV Show episodes LONGER! I can't get enough of these episodes! It is so satisfying to see the new areas, to envision the work that must be done and the results of the work that must be done, and to follow along with you on this Project of Epic Proportions!
I plan to be a paying patron of this place some day and it is riveting to watch the process of not only restoring the ranches' functionality but to seeing the *Demo Ranch Version* come to fruition!
I hope you stay off those 3rd floor bluff balconies until they are checked for soundness! I had a little bit of anxiety when you were poking around on those balconies, haha!!
Also, thank you for featuring Texas Pride in this video! That was a particularly pleasant segment in this episode!
Can't wait for the premiere of the 2-hour episode #8!! 😂
Montana is an absolute smoke show. 😍
Montana is great! Very natural on camera. Better than most TV people
Thanks for making my Monday a whole lot better. I would watch a 9 hour video
😊 Matt, I had an idea about why the previous owners might have left so much valuable stuff, including all of the wine behind.
I remember you showing us the old financial records for the resort and that their losses in the final year amounted to $1•23 million. This is only a guess of course, but the previous owners might have had a substantial list of creditors & a bankruptcy. Between those creditors, there may have been substantial argument over who was entitled to what, financially speaking. When the disposable assets were itemised and the bankruptcy administrator finally assigned ownership, it may have come down to the creditors being made responsible for collection of said items and within a certain timeframe & failure to do so would mean that any and all debts would be deemed satisfied. Those assigned ownership might have found it more expensive than first imagined to do so and more than the individual asset/s were worth and decided not to bother, writing off the debts incurred instead.
If you're planning to have it hold water, you need to make sure it doesn't have cracks in the rock or the water could drain through those cracks and no more water in the pond.
I didn't know they had trailers like this Beautiful
Matt, if you haven't already look into getting bigger fuel tanks/pumps on site. I wouldn't be surprised if they are already there from the resort. No more 5 gallon jugs, a truck comes out and fills them.
A 500 gallon diesel fuel tank, 500 gallon tank with ethanol free fuel (ethanol free stores way better way longer and is better for small engines).
The V10 just needs cheap 87 though since it gets 0 MPG around the ranch lol
Love the 3rd floor of the condos. The wood walls would look awesome with black trim. Love all your videos
More repair videos Matt!! I love seeing you handle nuts like that.
You should buy a clamp bucket for the backhoe it will make things alot easier
A thumb for the bucket
Yes but it probably doesn't have the auxiliary hydraulics for that as it didn't come with that style bucket to begin with.
@@acesonflush346 diverter valve
That tool case is like 2 grand lord have mercy
What brand is it?
I can’t get enough of this, keep them coming and if possible more often please.
It is always amazing to see your dreams come to fruition. I believe in your dream and I am anxiously waiting for each episode as the dream unfolds. If I didnt have aging parents I would definitely offer my skills to help out and see this dream come true. You are an amazing father and husband for making adventures for your family and friends / coworkers. I am sure you won't stop finding adventures/dreams to follow. Thank you for being such a visionary.

If I have ever the opportunity to have my vacation at your resort, I will be disappointed if the rooms don't have a green carpet and glas on the floor. But in all seriousness, I can't wait to see what you make off it. It's a beautiful piece of land there
I would keep the showers. Elderly people or someone with a handicap will thank you big time. Love that view!
Annual ranch Gravel Race and Texas Chilli Cook off!!
I really surprised that no one has destroyed those rooms over the past 20 years. Teens love to go in and tear up everything abandoned. It’s sure going be be interesting to see how and what you do over the next months. Good luck!
Love the long videos!!!! Also the trailer is awesome. Can’t wait to see what you do next to clean or fix it up on the resort.
Kept checking the duration bar in fear the video was almost over... I see a video that's 3 minute's long and shudder at the eternity it would take to sit through, but Matt's videos never seem to be long enough
Great video on more of the property, have you thought about putting an airstrip in? Lots of people including fellow RUclipsrs own and fly aircraft. A dirt or grass runway with a designated heli pad would fit just fine on that resort. If you build it they will fly in😎 and yes Montana was definitely a cutie!
I know of a winery out in Nevada that has a great restaurant that had a helipad or two out back. high roller types are willing to fly out there for dinner. How about something like that for hunters and guests, etc?
That bar on the bucket of it is called a butter bar it’s used in oilfield work so the teeth of the bucket don’t crack lines or other things buried underground. I sure hope being a oilfield machine it was taken care of better than the ones I’ve seen
Keep them coming, these longer videos are fantastic!
I hope you will keep the Desperado name for your new resort! I can’t wait to come stay! It would be really cool if you would have spontaneous days occasionally to let some of your viewers to come help out with the restoration. I would be there in a heartbeat! Love watching the restoration videos! PS: I happen to know how to run a bulldozer. Keep up the good work!
I honestly don’t see him finishing it and if so it will be when his kids are grown and have kids of their own. Look how long it took to do the house and that was nothing compared to what needs to be done on the resort
thanks for the long videos matt i love these :)
Like the new toy.
If you want to get rid of the spray paint numbers spray them with EZ Off oven cleaner. We would do that on Box trucks that we bought to flip.
Man if you pull off renovating this it will be epic 👌🏼
pumping from a well to feed a pond is pretty insane. the way to re-green a desert is by being able to capture and soak rain water with ditches/swales leading to ponds. humans have the power to make any desert green again with proper design. you have to slow and capture water so it can soak into the ground to replenish aquifers and wells, and ofc it fills your ponds and grows a food forest if you design that into the system.
