I don’t comment on many videos because I watch RUclips on my tv and can’t comment, but I just had to pull this up on my phone so I could. I just want to say that the world needs more people like you. The respect, love and compassion you both have, for what seems to be everything, is such a great and inspiring thing to witness. I love you both and wish nothing but happiness for you. And your work ethic is impeccable and inspiring. I want to be like the two of you when I grow up (I’m 64)! Great great job so far! I look forward to your videos every single Sunday❤️✌️
Step 1 pour concrete 2 screed 3 bullfloat 4 run your edger tool 5 allow concrete to set enough that you can press your finger with out sinking 6 run edger tool again 7 finish with mag and steel trowl 8 finally run a broom across to give it a nonslip surface Thank you for you videos
Yeap, exactly. I hope he reads your comment. I thought I saw him use a steel trowel right after screed and it had me talking to the TV. But we are all born ignorant and hope we can learn before we are too old to use it.
I am a goat farmer of 20 years. You did a great job! The first batch is always the hardest! It will be old “hat” from here on out. Would have given anything to have seen you sucking on that “teat”. So proud of you two!
❤❤ you 2! Look for "Sheeplyme" the infos needed is there and abondent. See her last video to learn why that mucus is essential for mother/baby bond. You're doing a fantastic job 😊
Theres too many comments to look through, so forgive me if I repeat. You two are amazing! I love what your doing, always interesting!!😃 Congrats on the new surprise baby goats.💞 I went to raised garden beds and they're amazing!! Easy to build, the crops thrive, & no animal issues. You coukd whip those up like nothing!! It will be better with your rainy weather too!
You guys are doing great. Suggestions for pregnant animal mamas. When she is getting close to delivering, even a couple weeks before put down a good amount of straw or bedding especially if she is on a slick surface. Slick surfaces can cause the babies to have leg and hip issues, the mama won’t lay down to nurse her babies like a dog or cat does. They stand like a sheep, cow, horse, etc while nursing. I know putting down bedding has to be changed and cleaned out of the area but it really is safer for the babies legs. ❤❤. We enjoy GBU so much, you both are amazing and are doing such a great job on all of your do it yourselves projects!! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and celebration ❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe someone else has said this already, but when mixing batches with the mixer, figure out how much water you use in the first batch, and then in future batches, add that amount of water to the mixer before you add the cement. Then add the cement, and it will end up mixed to the right consistency every time. Enjoying the project, you are getting more skills every day. Kids are sure cute as well. Jim
oh man, just sitting giggling to myself, delighting in you two, your banter and apparently random responses to the challenges, knowing in fact, the brilliance of your way of story telling... love it ☺ and, the baby goat segment is wonderful, tender and so vulnerable
Great work Matt. We learn as you learn, and sometimes from the expert comments section. Always fun to see you on my Sunday morning as I take care of my two Blue Heelers, or maybe they take care of me? You sure have a lot on your plate. One thing on your plate should be one of those roosters, or maybe "roasters" lol.
The look on Matt’s face while he was drinking the Beer and Kristen said, “Well, things didn’t go as planned” was classic! We’ve all been there and thought, Why the hell can’t things just go right? Matt taking one for the goats is hilarious!
Matt, I mix liquid laundry soap with water in a 1 gallon spray bottle and apply to walls. Next day I use water and a bristle brush to scrub walls and rinse. The Soap provides a nonstick barrier, hope it helps for future concrete applications.
Before doing anything else on the finish of the concrete, try doing an acid wash. Find a gallon of the highest concentration of muradic acid you can find locally and flood the pad with it. It will remove the top layer of creme and leave a really nice "sand finish". Scrub the surface with a broom and rinse with lots of water or neutralize with baking soda. It's one of my favorite finishes because it's easy and to do because you do it a day or two after the pour and the final look is a clean, contemporary look. Please us a respirator when using the acid because inhaling the fumes can cause serious damage to your lungs or death.
I seen a few videos of you you're a good guy caring for The Animals and for your wife I hope good things come to you together greetings from the Netherlands🎉🎉🦆🐷🦙🐕🦘🐓🐔🦜
I’m watching your latest episode as I type this comment, and just so you know I’m a faithful follower and have been for a while now.. my wife raises Goats and Chickens (and I help with whatever she needs me to do.. but I’m “no Matt”) and one of our goats is pregnant and new little one is due around the middle of May… I love watching your videos and enjoy how you two work so well together, I look forward to each new episode, You Guys are definitely an inspiration 👍🏼🙏🏼
Hello I’m a fan enjoying you videos, I was watching golf a fellow on you tube called Sasha Juliard he build a beautiful house in Costa Rica. If your looking for ideas for designs this is a beautiful house at minimal cost. Hope this helps you in your design process . A Fan Arthur 😊
And then I just realized I f***** up I said an Australian Shepherd was a cold-weather dog LOL I meant a not long haired dog pretty much I know I'm silly
Love love love the tile idea! It’ll add a beautiful contrast to the white and make the entry stand out in the traditional local flavor. It will be beautiful!!! But even more so, 💖💙💖 Sunny and Sugar. What a sweet addition to the homestead. You did a fantastic job in getting them through the critical stage of life. ☀️💕🐐🤍☀️
It’s so great the way you both care for your animals with such love. On camera the floor looks pretty good. A decorative covering would make the entrance pop.
You can put a skim coat on it. Basically sand and Portland cement. Trowel it smooth brush it out. Depending on how green the concrete is you might need to etch it with muratic acid. Then brush a concrete bonding on the surface and mix some bonding agent into the cement, sand, water mix. Another option just re pore a 1”- 2” pea gravel concrete ready mix cap on top of it I’ve done both methods when original pour got away from us and set up to quickly. Years later driving by different jobs still looked good.
I would have drilled several holes in the wall below grade and installed some rebar to bridge what will become the gap. one-inch holes; 3/8 rebar. BTW, Kristin the evolution of your video skills is amazing.
This is a first for me and that is I have never seen baby goats so young. Now you need some mini horses. A rancher down from me has a dozen or minis and they are so cute.
Its evident a man loves his 'kids' when he's willing to go to the extremes to personally unclog the drains for a goat milk shooter in order that his 'kids' will have ample supply!! Would liked to have seen Kristen's face during that episode. You two never cease to amaze me.
On another note, when your pouring concrete in a confined area with walls, place expansion joint material on the walls all around the pour. If not the expansion and contraction of the concrete will cause cracking if there is no room for movement. Rich L.
Oh gosh pausing at 1:31, and thinking that flooring is too slippery for the newborns to get a grip. You need hay piles in there! Plus make sure babies can't fall out. I didnt even know your goat was pregnant??? This is going to be an exciting one!🎉🎉❤❤ cant wait to watch further!!!!
Pretty amazing video this week. Baby goats are awesome and I think you did a great job with the concrete considering the conditions. As for the roosters, keep the one or two you like the best and give away the others to whoever wants them for most any reason. You two always have the best info videos every time. Your projects always seem to come out good regardless what you say and think about them. Perfection is always great to strive for but you will always know the mistakes you've made but others won't know of them unless you tell them...believe me I know... Thumbs Up!
Pro tip, wipe some oil on the wood forms and they will release super easy and look extra smooth 😉, those baby goats are a 1000 on the adorable meter so dang cute!!!!!
Tiles get VERY slippery when wet - and you guys get a LOT of rain there. If you take a brick and "sand" the concrete before it gets really cured you can make the surface pretty smooth. Use sand and water to lubricate the brick and to help with the abrasion. Then get some iron filings, wet the concrete down and sprinkle the iron filings over the concrete. That will stain the concrete and make it look more "earthy" and not just like a slab of grey concrete. Oh yes, don't give the roosters away, EAT THEM...
I had a job in an outdoor colony museum, we had goats I would peg out on chain for weed control. One day two kids popped out and were very healthy, bounding all over the place! While the boss and the girls from the restaurant down the hill were checking out the billy goat twins, one asked what their names were. Knowing how mischievious they were I just blurted out 'Heckle and Jeckle' and all agreed that suited them and it stuck!!!
I'd just say, think about your boating days when finishing that floor. With all the rain you get it will be slippery as hell unless you use the right thing. I like your idea of a self levelling pour, there are products you can add to the surface to give grip, 👍
Matt with that mixer overheating somewhere on that motor there's usually a little button you have to push back in to reset it. It's a thermal overload it will also trip if the motor gets jammed i. e drum gets jammed somehow. It usually on the end of the motor where the power goes in could be under a cover plate. But mad respect on taking care of the goats and everything you guys have done so far.
I have seen them mix aggregate (pea gravel) with clear epoxy and pour it as a walkway. Trowled smoothly, it let water soak through but held up to foot traffic. You could even drive small vehicles over it. You put down a layer of sand, then a base layer of gravel, and finally, a layer of the epoxy pea gravel about 2"-3" thick. Overall, it was about 6"-8" thick. They did this large scale at a major university, and it held up to some heavy foot traffic. For your application, mix aggregate (like your crushed rock between the road and your wall) with clear epoxy and trowel it out smooth over the concrete (it provides the structural base) about half-inch thick. You would probably want to do some test patches of the coating on concrete blocks, looking for the right amount of epoxy. And to see if you like the look of it. You only need enough to coat the rock, gluing them together, not submerge it in excess resin. That's just wasting resin and money. It would give the entry the look of the crushed rock but would be more permanent. Just another option.
With the concrete nip I'm sure the goat could return the favour on yours. I'm hoping you don't get concrete burns on your knees and fingers, they are very painful and hard to heal. Great video guys.
I have soft cornered cobblestone (in natural mixed colors) on my entryways and patio. It's easy to care for, install and attractive to the property. Just a possible idea for your entryway and other areas on your beautiful property. You both are amazing, you should be incredibly proud of you accomplishments and willingness to learn from your mistakes. I'm lovin your videos as always but this.....THIS?......with baby goats....completely melted my heart. Precious momma and baaaaaaybeeeeeesss!! Thank you Matt And Kristen....now ready yourselves to be wedded as man and wife.❤And live happily ever after in paradise.
Tip Matt! When pouring concrete from a mixer, rake it all out like you were doing at first. Leave it rough. Only pour to grade on the very last batches. That way you can stop at any point before that and come back another day and finish. Also, surface all sets at same time, easier to finish trowel.
Another way is to have a board that can be moved to change the size of the individual pours. Or have a secondary small pad formed to do if you overbuy.
please tell me you got them off that slick floor, crucial to stand on solid ground to develop proper bone and muscle alignment and development. Oh you did yeah! With animals you do what ya gotta do! Proud of you Matt! Well Done!
Eat the rosters. Thats part of life. As far as the Concrete you can get self leveling Concrete to fix the problem. And you can get some river rocks and like Tile and put that on it. It will look cool. Oooo! And I could hear the Coqui Frogs 🐸. We have them here on the Big Island. They are so loud. Thanks for a Great video this week. And until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and cheers 🍻
Hi Matt/kristin, fun video. You are getting quite the farm family. On the new concrete that you just added, maybe you could paint it and put the GBU logo on it...just an idea to tie in the sailing part of the channel to the farm. Best of luck.
Totally love watching you bring those little baby goats into the world with your tender touch Matt Kristin you have become a goat mama and I’m proud of you too. Keep up the good work kids and good luck with that cement work.
Wvery wpisode the entrance and all you've done looks awesome and I love how you two turn up on a 2 beer episodes every week!!! 🍻 from Tennessee and also, when will we know what type of house your gonna build? Can you give us any hints 🙏🏻 please😊
Hi guys Love the new babies ! they're gorgeous ! Makes me want to go out and get a baby goat. Tile sounds great for the front alcove. Maybe with the good bad and ugly or dead dolphin logo. Keep up the great work you guys. Always the best show I watch every week. T
You start doing a good job and learning a lot in the process the mistakes you make now are only on the smaller part of your project, I say good job well done
Matt the standard for concrete ratio in the UK is 1-2-3 One part cement, 2 parts sand and 3 parts aggregate. Put these all in the mixer in shovel loads and then add the water for the right consistency. It looks like you are using way to much cement and it will cost you far more. Some of out buildings have stood for hundreds of years. It may look lighter but the chemical reaction is stronger. Love you guys and have bean watching your for years. Steve
Yes Captain Matt concrete nip is a thing and after 70 years I've learned concrete SUCKS ! But don't let it get you down because you punched your ticket with the way you took care of the goats . Good Job! 👍
Matt, you did a great job on the concrete and on the baby goats 🐐!! don’t be so hard on yourself when you are doing these projects. You need to have a couple more beers 🍻 🍻✌🏼😎💯☄️💥
Congratulations Grandpa Matt and Granny Kristen, Baby goats are really cool. Question: What is the difference between a boat and a goat? Answer: B&G Cheer! Blue Skies. Faithfully, James
If you have never had a goat milk shake you need too! You could charge $20 dollars for a large goat milk shake. The high fat content makes it super creamy and some high quality cane sugar and vanilla bean

Step 1 pour concrete
2 screed
3 bullfloat
4 run your edger tool
5 allow concrete to set enough that you can press your finger with out sinking
6 run edger tool again
7 finish with mag and steel trowl
8 finally run a broom across to give it a nonslip surface
Thank you for you videos
Yeap, exactly. I hope he reads your comment. I thought I saw him use a steel trowel right after screed and it had me talking to the TV. But we are all born ignorant and hope we can learn before we are too old to use it.

That will have to go on Patreon or RUclips will flag GBU for goat porn, guaranteed.
❤❤ you 2! Look for "Sheeplyme" the infos needed is there and abondent. See her last video to learn why that mucus is essential for mother/baby bond. You're doing a fantastic job 😊
Could we get a reenactment 😂
We need more bouncing baby goats !
Seriously, you can have a live cam on the baby goats-and get a zillion views.
Theres too many comments to look through, so forgive me if I repeat. You two are amazing! I love what your doing, always interesting!!😃
Congrats on the new surprise baby goats.💞

Matt, you really remind me of my dad. He was a strong man, and so kind as well. I wish I could be there to help!
Cover the concrete in a mosaic style tile. White background and black to write out your family name, channel name/logo or house name ❤
good idea
Matt try just applying a colored grout coat. You can make it smooth or textured. It's quicker and easier.😎👍👍
Welcome to the world, Goats!
Door, I'd like a medieval castle style door.
oh man, just sitting giggling to myself, delighting in you two, your banter and apparently random responses to the challenges, knowing in fact, the brilliance of your way of story telling... love it ☺ and, the baby goat segment is wonderful, tender and so vulnerable

For Safety's Sake, DONT PUT TILE DOWN! I have tile at my front porch in Florida, and let me tell you... it get soooo slippery!
I was going to mention that too, totally agree.
There are tiles made for this purpose that has a texture. Commonly used in carports.
Matt, I mix liquid laundry soap with water in a 1 gallon spray bottle and apply to walls. Next day I use water and a bristle brush to scrub walls and rinse. The Soap provides a nonstick barrier, hope it helps for future concrete applications.
Can I say “the editing and music” is getting better with each video … 👏 Bravo

Don't think I've ever seen a house built from the 0utside in ! Quite the developer! Love those kids

Omy gosh, those baby goats are so precious!!! How did this happen?❤❤

Matt you need a herd dog. A protector for your livestock. Maybe an Australian Shepherd of Border Collie. Not to mention they are man's best friend.
Or a donkey 🫏
I think those two dogs probably don't match the environment. Maybe something more like a blue heeler. Something that is not a cold-weather dog
And then I just realized I f***** up I said an Australian Shepherd was a cold-weather dog LOL I meant a not long haired dog pretty much I know I'm silly
And truthfully pitbulls make really good guard herding dogs
Matt is getting a herd of goats 😂 for protection lol😊

just get grey concrete floor leveler mix .it will be dull, grey finish if they have it
Me and my husband love you guys. We watch your videos all day long. Love your new property. Matt , well done on all your building projects.
It’s so great the way you both care for your animals with such love. On camera the floor looks pretty good. A decorative covering would make the entrance pop.
I miss the sound of the coqui frogs when we live on the big island🤙keep up the good work
Good tip, put candle wax on your screws for woodwork, just plain candles. The effect to lasting is huge. Happy days.
Out, it is more inviting and finished looking!
BRAVO You are precious hosts, genuine and personable. Love your channel. now away from the boat.
Bless you and your farm ❤
❤😎 Matt's your a gr8 dad to your animals Kristen I think matt will be a good dad to your future babies The place is looking lovely 😍
You can put a skim coat on it. Basically sand and Portland cement. Trowel it smooth brush it out. Depending on how green the concrete is you might need to etch it with muratic acid. Then brush a concrete bonding on the surface and mix some bonding agent into the cement, sand, water mix. Another option just re pore a 1”- 2” pea gravel concrete ready mix cap on top of it I’ve done both methods when original pour got away from us and set up to quickly. Years later driving by different jobs still looked good.
Cool baby goats guys.Think you need to score a 9s diamond grinding discount to sort those concrete issues there
My dog Matt 😂the baby goats are pretty 😮good job guys looking good 👍🏼 👏
I would have drilled several holes in the wall below grade and installed some rebar to bridge what will become the gap. one-inch holes; 3/8 rebar. BTW, Kristin the evolution of your video skills is amazing.
This is a first for me and that is I have never seen baby goats so young. Now you need some mini horses. A rancher down from me has a dozen or minis and they are so cute.
Rock coming through the top of the cement is called exposed aggregate, and it's recommended for many uses due to it's non-slip surface.
Its evident a man loves his 'kids' when he's willing to go to the extremes to personally unclog the drains for a goat milk shooter in order that his 'kids' will have ample supply!! Would liked to have seen Kristen's face during that episode. You two never cease to amaze me.
Don’t be so hard on yourselves! You’re doing great! All things can be fixed!
Y'all are still killing it! what about doing a brick tile, lighter color, not red brick. Enjoy and thanks for the video!
Love watching you guys "cementing".....your relationship! Bad dad puns help with the algorithm.
Eat the roosters! Ahhh I heard the coqui frogs in the background. Makes me wish I was back down there. Peace out guys. Y’all rock.
Awesome job with the goat milk.
The concrete, never pour over grass.
Guys are doing a awesome job.
Matt you and Kristen have a great attitude, property looks great 👍🏽 baby lambs are too cute 😁
On another note, when your pouring concrete in a confined area with walls, place expansion joint material on the walls all around the pour. If not the expansion and contraction of the concrete will cause cracking if there is no room for movement.

It's real good to see you enjoying a beer Uncle Matt.
You guys are natural parents.
concrete nip is real the concrete in the air sticks to you and it burn the skin the tshirts rubbing..

do you really need roosters?
Pro tip, wipe some oil on the wood forms and they will release super easy and look extra smooth 😉, those baby goats are a 1000 on the adorable meter so dang cute!!!!!
With your sailing background, i would use some nice non-slick tile and form a compass rose at tne entry point to your property!
Capons (rooster) are delicious 😋 , goats are so cute - no you can make goat cheese!!😊❤
Tiles get VERY slippery when wet - and you guys get a LOT of rain there.
If you take a brick and "sand" the concrete before it gets really cured you can make the surface pretty smooth.
Use sand and water to lubricate the brick and to help with the abrasion.
Then get some iron filings, wet the concrete down and sprinkle the iron filings over the concrete.
That will stain the concrete and make it look more "earthy" and not just like a slab of grey concrete.
Oh yes, don't give the roosters away, EAT THEM...
Aren't the iron fillings going to rust? Where do you buy iron fillings?
I had a job in an outdoor colony museum, we had goats I would peg out on chain for weed control. One day two kids popped out and were very healthy, bounding all over the place! While the boss and the girls from the restaurant down the hill were checking out the billy goat twins, one asked what their names were. Knowing how mischievious they were I just blurted out 'Heckle and Jeckle' and all agreed that suited them and it stuck!!!
You could always coat it with cool deck. We coated around our pool it was great.
Those baby goats are too cute and you are taking such good care of them. Hope you find a reliable caretaker when you have to travel.
Terracota tile would be neat for the entrance-not sure how hardy it would be.Congrats on the new family members! Great Teat story -dedication !

Love to hate concrete pours then rains.. been there.. DAD
agree
Another way is to have a board that can be moved to change the size of the individual pours. Or have a secondary small pad formed to do if you overbuy.
Yup, I’m from the pac n.w. rain is a way of life. You just gotta live with it.
Matt you should put down some straw/hay for them to lay on. The concrete is cold and slick. They do need to nurse asap to get colostrum.
please tell me you got them off that slick floor, crucial to stand on solid ground to develop proper bone and muscle alignment and development. Oh you did yeah! With animals you do what ya gotta do! Proud of you Matt! Well Done!
Your a true farmer now Matt great job, alot of people would never think of doing that, much less doing it , i think you saved them
The baby goats are so adorable 🥰.
I have a friend who was a drummer in a band and he had twin girl goats. He named them Anna 1 and Anna 2.
Eat the rosters. Thats part of life. As far as the Concrete you can get self leveling Concrete to fix the problem. And you can get some river rocks and like Tile and put that on it. It will look cool.
Oooo! And I could hear the Coqui Frogs 🐸. We have them here on the Big Island. They are so loud.
Thanks for a Great video this week. And until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and cheers 🍻
Put down a Spanish tile, keeping with the look of your wall. Congrats on the kids.
Hi Matt/kristin, fun video. You are getting quite the farm family.
On the new concrete that you just added, maybe you could paint it and put the GBU logo on it...just an idea to tie in the sailing part of the channel to the farm.
Best of luck.
Saltillo tile...my fav! Congrats on the babies! Goodonyas!
My vote is to go with the tile for the concrete floor. It will give it a finished look and it will put your personal touch on it.
Totally love watching you bring those little baby goats into the world with your tender touch Matt Kristin you have become a goat mama and I’m proud of you too. Keep up the good work kids and good luck with that cement work.
Looks good. I would have room finished.

Tile sounds great for the front alcove.

Great video! Your love and commitment to your animals warms my heart. I really hope you’re as proud of yourselves as we are of you.
Matt you're a great human pal. Not many would of done that so good for you m8.
Good work guys 🎉
You start doing a good job and learning a lot in the process the mistakes you make now are only on the smaller part of your project, I say good job well done
new life on the farm! happy day!
Concrete faux stain with thin-set to level it up, then seal it and your all set 👍
Matt
the standard for concrete ratio in the UK is 1-2-3 One part cement, 2 parts sand and 3 parts aggregate. Put these all in the mixer in shovel loads and then add the water for the right consistency. It looks like you are using way to much cement and it will cost you far more.
Some of out buildings have stood for hundreds of years.
It may look lighter but the chemical reaction is stronger.
Love you guys and have bean watching your for years.

M&K we love your videos. When you guys need a break we're in Boquerón and we have plenty of room for you guys here. You'll love it here.
Yes Captain Matt concrete nip is a thing and after 70 years I've learned concrete SUCKS ! But don't let it get you down because you punched your ticket with the way you took care of the goats . Good Job! 👍
Do you have a house design/plan yet? I'm building mine in Florida with 4 Shipping containers 40" ........ Can't wait to see your home build..
Matt, you did a great job on the concrete and on the baby goats 🐐!! don’t be so hard on yourself when you are doing these projects. You need to have a couple more beers 🍻 🍻✌🏼😎💯☄️💥

If you have never had a goat milk shake you need too! You could charge $20 dollars for a large goat milk shake. The high fat content makes it super creamy and some high quality cane sugar and vanilla bean
You two are doing great. You learn by mistakes also, so don't over think everything. Take your time 😎😎😎😎😎
