I am now disabled and retired, but I used to go one better than 3-4-5. I used to go, 6-8-10. It was extremely accurate. It appears that your drywall square is pretty accurate. They aren’t known to be. But since you cross measured and the distance is the same, you are square. The drywall hootis is a great tool for you. 😁
Great tip! Yes we have to measure everything 3,4,5 times to make absolutely certain we are right. I do not like working on things that are bad out of square.
Looks like your porch is no longer just a" pipe" dream ,but about to be the real thing- I see Jim knows how to handle that blue wrench well, too !! 1400 ft.- WOW !!!
We also dry poured the concrete for our posts. We brushed the pipe, put phosphoric acid on it to convert the rust, then painted them. We welded barbs on the bottom, then wrapped them in electrical tape before we set them in the ground. I also wanted to tell you, I've been dry pouring concrete for paving stones. It's working great!
I can't wait to see the dry pour on this one soon. I would suggest Capt. Crocks do that in maybe two pours. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It is always fun watching you two work together. You are not afraid to tackle anything and seem to enjoy learning what you don't know. The shortest way from point A to point B is a straight line. But somehow, you both have found a short cut.
Beautiful Country Setting, Beautiful People, and Animals. Blackberries yummy!! Makes good wine too. Wow y'all ground is not muddy. Great thinking on the iron posts , much stronger. 😊 Hurricane proof. I like part you be swinging in a chain lol. That's was funny. Great job Jim!! Lydia Awesome job 👍 on the video !! Cajun Family see y'all on next video. Have a wonderful week and weekend 💖💙💛.
I'm so happy they are re-thanking "Mr. Stafford" for his Amazon Gift to them of a BIG "T-Square". Every time I see that measurement instrument in the Videos I think of what a GREAT GIFT it is, forever.
Super les cousins cajuns. Lydia tu danses 💃très bien et avec Jim vous faites une belle chorégraphie 💃🕺. Quand vous travaillez c’est bien vous ne vous ennuyez pas. Lydia tu es 💪 costaud avec la corde. Bon courage pour la suite. 👍👍👏👏😘🇫🇷
Taking shape. All the pipes are straight and in line. Nice dimensions for a huge 1400-square-foot porch. Square dancing floor for future parties and fun times.
@@CajunCountryLivin Its doing great, tomatoes are at the tops of the cages with lots of green tomatoes & lots of flowers, green bean are also doing well.
if you want more blackberries, the Missouri department of conservation (MDC) sells trees, bushes, and even blackberries in bare root form. I have planted over 23,000 plants from them. The online order opens in the fall and plants delivered in the spring. I have 50 blackberry bushes on my place.
We used to use the pythagoream theorem when laying our a square or rectangular shape slab. The hypotenuse is the square root of the sum of the two sides of your right angle squared. That'll help you figure out your corners and have you pretty close to square.
LAAWD HAVE MERCY, YALL!!! Those dance moves 🤣🤣🤣 Yall just trying to get me in trouble at work by causing me to bust out laughing. Its all good though. Sorry yall dealing with so much rain but you still managed to get a lot accomplished. For the record, I didnt feel like you were complaining. Its not complaining if you are smiling while discussing an issue. LOL. I'm not a fan of hot weather so I woulda been in a full on rant. Im curious to see why you are building such a ginormous porch. I'm here for the long haul so we shall see once its all done. I always say it but thanks for bringing us along. Its been fun getting to know yall through these videos. Have a fantastic rest of the week!!
Dance moves for days around here Bodie😂 We get so much rain down here at times, we wanted a large area to be outside but still out of the rain to avoid cabin fever. That is the main reason for the size. Nothing like playing a little music and cooking a catfish court-bouillon while watching it rain😁
It's at times like this when you wished you'd paid more attention in the Maths class when learning about Pythagoras Theorem! As for the dancing? Best left unsaid. LOL! Another great video guys, thank you!
Jim, the 3,4,5 method is simply the Pythagoras Theorem from geometry class put into practical use. Actually, any combination of 3,4,5 could be used easily. This means if you measure along the wall of the house 30 feet, then measure out from the house 40 feet, string a tape from that 30 foot mark to the 40 foot mark 50 feet long. Where the 40 foot and the 50 foot marks meet gives you a perfect 90 degree angle. This could be done on both sides of the porch and give you a perfect rectangle. Especially since your porch will be 40 feet out from the house.
Next project: Storm Protection/Safe room or underground shelter. 😅 my grand pop taught me to coat a thinned down tar on everything that goes in the ground. It prevents moisture, rot and such and allows posts to last darn near forever.
Looks good ya'll. Hunker in looks like we are in for rain all week! I see a few folks asking why so big. I guess they don't understand crawfish boils and such! Gotta have room for family and friends not to mention direct sunlight beating down on you while trying to relax. Hell, entertaining is hard work!
So I did a 25' sidewalk 4"ish dry pour turned out awesome thanks to yall!!! Just debating if I should relief cut it or not? It is gorgeous without them. It is 3' wide with 5' flared ends. We stained it and textured it. What are your thoughts on the relief cuts so it doesn't crack? We are in southern Maryland. Thanks for everyone's comments
You two, you two, you two ( shaking my head)😂😂😂 You had me cracking up with your dance moves Lady Ladly's made the most sense. So she gets the prize 🏆 Thanks for the laugh anyway. I saw the way Jim hauled the welding equipment over with the tractor , then Lydia has to do the heavy part dragging it off the tractor 😊 Again your using tools and things to do something that they weren't originally intended for.( Hence the hootis and you know i love to see a hootis)😊 That is going to be one big porch. You'll be able to park all your vehicles and everything under there. Glad you're trying to hurricane proof everything as much as possible. I'm assuming you're going to box in the posts at some point. Anxious to see how this part of the build will turn out. Stay safe Love you guys
it would have been nice if you had one of those post levels, they are only about 7 or 8 dollars at lowes or menards , they are just a plastic L shaped thing with level bubbles on it and it attaches with a rubber band , that way you can quickly fine your level all the way around for you post either wood or metal posts.
I had to smile: When you said "we're gonna get bricks..." I was thinking "store" - you were thinking "pasture stash"! 🤣 Yours is the best store I've seen!
I would have welded some rebar "spokes" to those steel pipes to make sure no hurricane could ever lift them out!! The rebar also helps maintaining them vertical while you are installing them!
You mention hurricanes and tornadoes, which are surely possible in your area (as well as where I live in Brownsville, Texas). That being said, would you consider building an underground shelter to stay safe or evacuate if necessary?
I have Pair Eyewear and also have the Reese's I got my first Pair in early 2022, and just had to get my prescription upgraded and ordered a new Pair of Reese's with my new script because I didn't want to have to replace all my toppers (I have 17 +2 sun toppers) and of course I ordered 2 more toppers when I ordered my new glasses. My 9 year old daughter also has Pair Eyewear glasses (with 19 toppers +1 sun topper, she also has 2 more on the way, lol) but she loves being able to change her toppers to match with her clothes, she's my girly, girl and loves the variety Pair gives her.
I knlw hurricane proof is the term, but after living on the coast and tornado alley, the term of hurricane resident is more appropriate. If Mother Nature wants your building gone, it'll be gone... Nice to see using drill stem and not just pipe 😊... Oil field drill stem would be better but harder to get ahold of.
GREAT VIDEO!!!! I feel I must tell ya'll what I learned the most from watching this. I learned, after all this time, why I love you guys so much!!.............Ya'll dance almost as bad as I do!!!😁😅😂🤣😍
I found your channel recently. One of the viral dry pour ones popped up. Went back to the start and watched them all. Now watching them as you release. Great camera work and editing. Really makes watching a pleasure. I have asked my family for my first pair of official crocs for Father’s Day! 😄 I was expecting to see a bit larger diameter footers for the poles to more legitimately anchor in high wind, but I suspect if it were that intense, the roof would still let go before pulling up the pipes.
I put salt on my concrete driveway a few winters ago and it pitted the driveway in spots. Can I clean it then add dry concrete into the little holes and mist it in or is pitting too shallow to try your dry pour method on a driveway or sidewalk.?
I like the way ya'll always try and have fun with your work. It makes your go easier, and the videos enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your journey. 🐘🙏💐🙌🕊✌️💖👌👀👍🙂👏🌞🤟😎🖖❤️👋
Your welding skills sure are coming in handy on this project, you guys have so many wonderful skills, dancing don't appear one of them. Just kidding you guys are awesome at whatever you do , but your daughter definitely a better dancer.😊
Dang it’s looking good around there but you sure make me nervous with that dry pour stuff, I am still not on board with it lol. Y’all have a blessed weekend
@@CajunCountryLivin thanks I’ll ha ve a little sugar on mine with a bowl full of home made vanilla ice cream,, we saw a side of Lydia on today’s video that was not as reserved as usual,I think the warm weather has brought the real Lydia to the surface Jim, I caught my wife laughing at Lydia’s unleashed side of southern antics ha ha ha lol,,,,we would like to rename this video to UNPLUGGED
redundant systems ie solar with any size genset plus a battery bank, maybe a separate fortified structure, like a mini power station ...that's what i would like to do
NOT CRITICIZING!!! But I was wondering if you worry those poles continue to rust what’s in the concrete that doesn’t get painted. Eventually rust into at ground level. I’m not criticizing just asking I have a/ had very walled post I used to hang deer that rusted into about 2 below surface of concrete after about 15 years/ but it was about 10 years old when I got. Rust oleum makes a rust restorer.
I gotta admit.... As a short dude... 5'6" I somehow found it a bit humorous watching tall peeps struggle to reach that first chain! ☺ Another great video!!
My wife loves her Pair Eyewear and the click-on top frames. I had already called out the name of the cardboard pipe cutting hootis before you came back and said it out loud. I guess I have been indoctrinated in Cajin Hootis now.
OK, I’m mon tell y’all sumpin. If y’all gittin’ popped by twisters 🌪️ and hurry canes, y’all might oughta consider building a monolithic dome to at least serve as a 1. Shelter agin da storm, and 2. Temporary housing forda family while ye rebuilding da main house after. The dome is vastly energy efficient and is impervious to high winds and twisters 🌪️ due to no corners to grab. I’m justa sayin’
Pretty fancy dance moves y’all… not that it matters or that it’s any of my business. But I’m gonna ask anyway mostly because I’m nosy.. why so big? Surely there’s a reason why y’all wanted a porch that huge. Just because you can? Family picnics/ get togethers? Electrolysis is what cause metal pipe to decay in the ground. Simplified electricity travels through the ground when it come in contact with metal and then leaves that metal it flakes off little pieces every time it jumps off of the pipe.. if you’ve ever dug up a pipe that’s been in the ground for quite a while it looks pitted that’s from the electricity leaving the pipe there is a way to slow that decline using anodes it’s a big wire welded to the pipe with a huge piece of lead buried in the ground about 5 or 6 feet from the actual pipe the electricity will travel through the wire to the lead and jump off the lead instead of the pipe. Just some information you might like to have maybe for future projects
The main reason that we wanted this large of a porch is because sometimes we get an awful lot of rain and we are all outdoors people. This will give us a large area to be outside even if the weather is unfavorable. Thank you for the electrolysis info!
Do I just need to go to Pair Eye Wear...I do not see the Description you mentioned..(hell,,maybe I need glasses) seriously, I am very interested in this . I want that 15% off also.
I am now disabled and retired, but I used to go one better than 3-4-5. I used to go, 6-8-10. It was extremely accurate. It appears that your drywall square is pretty accurate.

It's at times like this when you wished you'd paid more attention in the Maths class when learning about Pythagoras Theorem! As for the dancing? Best left unsaid. LOL! Another great video guys, thank you!

Thank you! Hopefully these weird rain events will stop soon!
Anxious seeing how it will be ..and yes ...humidity is a big challenge...😎
Hopefully the weather will get favorable soon! We can’t wait to see it done!

Cool jib on the tractor. Looks like a good drive thru boat cover when it's not a porch.
I like your way of thinking Rick!
Been loving your videos and will definitely be using your method of dry pouring when we get better weather over here and I get the courage to do it 😅😂
Awesome! Hope you share some pics of your project when it’s done😊
looking good. you guys always look the happiest when your building and having fun thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!

You mention hurricanes and tornadoes, which are surely possible in your area (as well as where I live in Brownsville, Texas). That being said, would you consider building an underground shelter to stay safe or evacuate if necessary?
Not underground…. But stick around and I think you’ll like a project that we will be beginning soon😁
25:14 "and by golly we're gonna love it!" 😂
Going to be a huge porch. Lots of fun times for you all.
We are going to love it! It’s probably where most of our time will be spent 😊

Love it!11
What a great fun video thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for watching Jim!
I am definitely going to check on those glasses.
The best advertising ive watched on youtube ❤
"Outrunning the rain" on the weekends is the name of the game for me. If I am not working in my yard (due to the rain) I am in the house painting. LOL
Sounds like we are the same people 😂
You guys are fun to watch
I just love watching you guys 😊😊😊😊
Thank you!😁😄😃

They are pouring a concrete slab over the top of the already anchored poles in the ground gripping them further.
Great job
Thank you!

Love the dance moves 😂
My one and only question is; "did ya hootis work correctly?"
ScottishxPride, Tx.
Nope no one melts with a little rain - lol - great job - have a nice week - love ya all more !!!

Nothing but smilin. :)
Friends and I take it another step and punch a hole in bottom of pipe and weld some rebar in them, to give concrete something to bite into.

It was retired drill stem from a directional drilling rig.

Y’all must not have gotten the rain we did in south Louisiana on May 9th. It only rained for an hour.
We only got showers here nothing heavy. We were watching the radar and it was flooding to the East and West of us.
U need to get a chop saw just rent one n clean cut them
That would be nice!
Another’s great video with many hootises 😂

I’m an union operator
I wholeheartedly would love to see you hang like that when you’re 70 years old lol😊

What color was that 66 chevy that handle came off of 😂
Were the pipes every 10 ft or 12 ft guy's? Houston Texas
I'd go with a nice blue with just the right amount of patina. Probably looked darn near perfect before disaster struck and it started falling apart 😂
9’ 6”. We spaced them to allow for a 2’ overhang.

Simplified electricity travels through the ground when it come in contact with metal and then leaves that metal it flakes off little pieces every time it jumps off of the pipe.. if you’ve ever dug up a pipe that’s been in the ground for quite a while it looks pitted that’s from the electricity leaving the pipe there is a way to slow that decline using anodes it’s a big wire welded to the pipe with a huge piece of lead buried in the ground about 5 or 6 feet from the actual pipe the electricity will travel through the wire to the lead and jump off the lead instead of the pipe. Just some information you might like to have maybe for future projects
The main reason that we wanted this large of a porch is because sometimes we get an awful lot of rain and we are all outdoors people. This will give us a large area to be outside even if the weather is unfavorable. Thank you for the electrolysis info!
Thanks for the reply o sure understand the weather issue down there having living in Mississippi for quite a while
