    A short drone video to get an idea where you ended up parking that camper would be nice.

      Yes, and one driving up to the entrance. Nice wall...

    Matt place a batten on the top of the fence to stop water ingress on the end grain of the wood it will enhance your fence as well,great videos..

    @bryman777 10 месяцев назад +16

    Concrete pad for the trailor so it doesnt sink into the clay in the future, and a Septic System large enough for a house and your MotorHome..

    Matt, more props to the "Taco". Nice move, you did everything right. Now paint the outside of the abandoned house, will enhance the entrance. Love what you're done. My wife is from Bayamon.

    RVs are not forgiving when it comes to leaks. Get some Dicor tape sealant to put between the trim and siding, then seal the trim down.
    That Dicor tape is a life saver.

    You need a trim to top off the fence, just a sealed 1" x 2" to protect from water ingress into the grain.

      @ibstrummin2 9 месяцев назад

      my only concern for the location.. and obviously i only speculate.. is that they are already mentioning the wet clay. when they hit the rainy season.. or hurricane season.. are they going to be under water?

  • @barybowman1914
    @barybowman1914 10 месяцев назад +3

    Pro tip...when spraying stain someone should be following and back brushing. Works the stain into the wood so it will protect and last longer also evens the stain out...

  • @neutonrenda2303
    @neutonrenda2303 10 месяцев назад +2

    Trust your own judgement with the fence, it's really easy to do it better from the couch. If anything, it's stronger than most people build, just stand back and admire your hard work guys.❤👍

    Guys, I never thought I never thought building in the woods would be so entertaining. Believe it or not it’s much better than sailing. If you get a chance please talk about your neighbors, how far away do they live, friendly, crime, cops friendliness, etc.

    That new area is amazing. Little concerned about solar, it is in a shaded bowl. May have to put the 'solar field' a distance away into the sun, but you can run wires. That new area, is sureal...so calm, and all you're hear is the sound of the river. I'm envious. 🤩🤩🤩

  • @IEnigIMa
    @IEnigIMa 10 месяцев назад +10

    Crazy. Full send Mattie. LoL ❤. That bumper on poor ole Taco…I can’t believe it held. 😮. That camper is gunna sunk Mattie. She’s gunna sink in that ground up to her axles, so I am sure you’re gunna put them 4x4 post under tires and jacks. 😊. What a great place to put that thing though. I am jealous for sure. Way to get er done!!! Concrete pad looks good. You should put them skills to use and pour another pad for your camper.. nice….loving it

  • @waltermorris5786
    @waltermorris5786 10 месяцев назад +1

    AT ONE TIME IN MY LIFE, I bought and sold land....land speculator....One of the first points I inspected was whether or not the land flooded. You are down there by a little stream. Notice all the mountains around you? In a really rainy episode, the volume of water from those mountains can be higher than you think....Walk around the area and see if you detect any craw fish mounts or even holes. If that low land floods, they will build mounds....Next, look for debris left over from rising water, such as twigs and leaves in the lower limbs or even debris which pile up around tree trunks. Perhaps Matt already checked for leftover flood debris. Matt is extremely gifted with construction skills, but rising water is a different matter. I clearly are unaware of that particular elevation.

  • @johnbode2756
    @johnbode2756 9 месяцев назад

    After I stained my fence using a brush, I saw on RUclips that some people dip the boards in stain before mounting them. This would cover the edges better, but the boards would need to be cut to length before mounting. Matt does a much better job of fence building that I ever could.

  • @fredcauley4633
    @fredcauley4633 10 месяцев назад +1

    Matt, you need to put some sort of caps on your fence post to prevent accelerated deter action from water. There are metal (think tin) caps made expressly for that purpose.

    From someone who lives on a farm in Texas... When it comes time to buy a tractor, get one bigger than you think you'll need and thank me later. Tractors are a good spot to stretch your budget because you can use them for WAY more than you'd imagine. Get one with a front end loader too.

    If you cut the bottom of the fence in a 45 degree angle the rain water will drib off instead of sucking into the wood. That will make the fence last longer 😊

  • @TR4zest
    @TR4zest 10 месяцев назад +1

    To inexpensively extend the life of your fence, dig a shallow trench a foot wide between the posts and fill with gravel up to the bottom edge of the boards, and design the trench to run out downhill when filled with rain. Then get epoxy and a roller and seal all the top cut exposed end grain of the boards. Your fence will thank you.

  • @higgs8491
    @higgs8491 10 месяцев назад +1

    That piece of property you move the trailer to is relatively flat for a reason... overflow from the creek that becomes a river probably made that shelf, if not land subsidence! If you build... build on super stout pilings that are cross braced. I'm thinking you should have a Flood Survey Map to see what areas of your property are zoned for flood hazard. I'm just sayin'! I worked flood claims for 25 years with the N.F.I.P. (National Flood Insurance Program) all over the USA and Virgin Islands... Coastal, inland, mountains...I can't tell you how many times the insureds would tell me, "It's never, ever flooded here before!"

    There is a simple trick to maneuvering an RV, just keep going until something sounds expensive. Also, the flat tire wrecked your stabilizer. If you put them down and that tire goes flat again it will get worse. Cordless drill and a socket can wind those jacks up in seconds.
