Seeing gaps under the concrete after just a week is enough warning for you. Get that retaining wall in as priority one, then backfill with 3/4” sand/mixed and tamp ever 4-6” with a gas tamper. Don’t cheat on this!
@@hksp stop with your nonsense! People aren't just yapping, most are concerned for the boy's safety. You just proves you're to dense to understand that.
it has to be an "L" type of block to contain the slope. That way first you press some soil on top of the horizontal part of the "L", in short increments (a foot or so) until you reach the desired level of the ground. That way you will have a nice protection of the slope.
Here in the southwest at least the make tire bales out of old tires. They weight roughly a tone each and commonly used to make retaining walls here. They will stucco over them so they don't look so ugly.
A retaining wall is honestly the first thing they should have don't after the slab was put in. Not after the barn is done. They get way too much rain out there. Need it done quick.
This build would have been great to get chummy with the building inspector because there will be sooo many inspections coming for the house build . It's a nightmare to pass inspections here in California
Hell, embrace the chaos. Stick some wheels on the slab to help it go downhill. Then put some wheels on the saw-mill to follow it and process all the knocked-down trees. You can build a mile-long wooden staircase.
Impossible without retaining rock ! for sure with stormy rain and caution with the wind ! here in france, Marseille south of France, we have a hard wind who's called "le mistral" a barn like this can't stay in place 15 minutes , good job and good vibrations ! thank U and big hug to the family . alain
I’m just shaking my head! Seeing light under the concrete already after 1 week! Why aren’t these boys understanding that you can’t put fresh dirt in and put concrete down on a cliff and think it’s safe??? I just don’t understand! It’s already showing erosion on the back side!!!
In my experience: Do the retaining wall about 6foot from building then do one foot of gravel behind it with French drain, then fill in with dirt last foot do another half foot of gravel then dirt. Love everything y’all are doing thanks for sharing with us!!
Look up gabion baskets. Get stainless. Then just fill with rock. Plants can grow out of them, so they are retaining walls but blend in to the woods eventually. Glad you are finally gonna try and stabilise the plot, even if you've done it totally backwards 🤓😂👊
You guys might have to install a retaining wall behind your barn shed. Not much room dirt behind it. A few good days of rain and that dirt will be gone leaving your slab exposed. Cheers guys from 🇦🇺
If only someone had mentioned a retaining wall before you got this far.... But I am sure that that back corner that is now just hanging in mid air will be fine...

Set that mill up in the black barn, use the materials to build the deck/posts and outfit the interior! Custom woodworking shop for taking on an old project like a Ford Model A pickup!! Build a loft also to have as a chill spot. That’s where the deck would be. Below that should be dirt when walking out the sliding door. Put the hot tub there in the shade and have some Adirondack chairs on the loft deck! PS I like the idea of one big tire on the back of the ford dually. Cheers from NYS!

You guys should have listened about filling in behind the man barn its going to erode until the concrete pad starts cracking you need at least 2 feet of ground around your building and then either slop the dirt better than 2 to 1 or install a retaining wall you can buy the actual metal form from grainger to make your own stackable concrete blocks its a reusable metal form and it's really easy to use and the good thing is you can make as many stackable blocks that interlock together install your Deadman tie ins some of that plastic Matt material ever 2 to 3 courses and your drains and you would be able to drive a tractor trailer around that man barn stay with it and get it done semper fi 😉
Are you kidding they were told by a lot of people that they needed to either over build the pad and compact it or plan on building a crib wall to stabilize it.
Yes get cinder blocks for your retaining wall, don't forget to put concrete inside them with 1/2 inch reinforcing bars vertically. Fill the hole between the barn & wall with dirt & finish with gravel. Don't forget to put gaps at the bottom corners to release water & use the 4 inch drainage tubing to go outside the corner holes.
Yeah it’s crazy 😜 for Billy to be that stubborn like Barkanelli said. It’s one thing to be stubborn it’s another being totally unreasonable. Because if they don’t haul in more dirt and put big stone down like I have told them from the day the concrete form was built......Then it’s gonna erode and concrete is gonna bust and they gonna have a mess or a building & slab slide down the mountain. U can already see empty spots of no dirt under the slab 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Awesome content! Love watching you guys. Keep up the good work! DANG! Is that Dang sauce GOOD!! I put that stuff on everything! Try it on Mac and cheese…..oh baby!!!
When you build a retaining wall make sure to use geo grid every other layer of blocks it helps to tie the blocks in and prevents them from leaning forward
You need to install big gutters and downspouts, The downspouts need to be directed going down the hill and releasing the water at the bottom. You can also get real heavy landscaping plastic and cover the hill with the plastic and then put heavy gravel all over the plastic. This can help channel the water away from the barn. Nevertheless, you need to put together an irrigation plan now! It doesn't take long for the rain to compromise that hill, especially since it's barely larger than the building itself.
Erosion mitigation is not an option, especially with as much precipitation as you receive. I think you are also probably going to have issues under the slab as you didn't properly compact the fill. My prediction is a lot of settling unless you immediately address the issues on the rear and sides of the structure. I recommend a terraced retaining wall along the sides and back with drainage installed to prevent any erosion that may cause voids to develop under the slab.
you could not be more right, however for some reason they ignore every engineers comment about the issue and simply choose to ignore it. looks like were gonna see the house slide down before something is done about it, or at least that's the most likely scenario with how its looking right now.
Rail Road ties work good as a retaining wall also. You forgot roof cap! Someone is going to have fun installing that and side corners! Looks good so far! And an upstairs would be epic with a big window
Techo Bloc actually has excellent specs for retaining walls.

@@JMunsonII That's true and who am I to judge their failures as an example of best practices for self satisfaction and use of planets resources. Maybe that's fine for them, but for some reason it irritates me. I guess the Goons in Goonzquad is not just a brand :) Using the green timber on this man cave will be perfect haha.
Guess some "gotta fix our mistake" content was needed. Going to be a pain putting up that retaining wall with the building in place. Putting the blocks up won't be difficult, but filling in the dirt will be. Going to have to make it an L shape and far enough from the building so they can get the skidsteer around to the back. Build wall, start filling from side to pad level and work your way around.

@@MythUnknown It wouldn't burn up if the voltage drops. Wires burn up if the current is overloading an undersized conductor. But at that point it would just trip a breaker.
Yes, please build that retaining wall . Most of all take the time compact the ground ! Make sure you have proper drainage for the ground. Also that roof can be used to rain harvest into a few 800 gl. tanks. I have no idea why you chose to put your water tanks inside the house structure. Where I come from space is premium, even the basement. Good luck guys ! So glad you got the portable saw mill. Remember , you want it on level ground. You probably want it to have a roof coverage like a car port. to protect it from the rain and snow. where ever you put it plan for a covered storage for your milled lumber. even if it's only 3 covered walls. Lumber needs to be able to dry out slowly and protected from rain and snow. Can hardly wait to see you guys mill some lumber ! maybe you use the lumber to build a tree house 😄. I'm sure you can get into a ton projects for the new house with the lumber you mill from your own trees !👍
Get a compactor and start compacting, work from bottom up, adding fill dirt as needed. Once it's solidly compacted, dig a 6' deep 3' wide footing. Before footing is completely setup, install anchors and set Jersey barriers as containment wall. Back fill with more dirt and compact. It won't be cheap but it will hold up forever. Did this for a customer years 35 years ago and it's still holding. Good luck boys.
There were several. I know an engineer and myself (an inspector) tried to pass that advice along, and we do this for a living. Hopefully they can get a contained retaining wall put in ASAP because they did not compact that soil in lifts like you really should. Then when they do the deck off the back, if they don't want to pour footings, they could always geopier it a bit with a pre-poured footing block and use that for stability.
If you don't cover it in this video, you boys are going to have a tough time with that back bit on your build. You need to add another 3 or 4 feet to shore that up or you'll lose the corner or back of that pad I'm afraid. As an older guy not necessarily knowledgeable about cars, I never miss an episode, and it's so so much fun to watch you boys do such wonderful things with everything you have in your pipeline. Hats off to you and I hope you enjoy every minute of it. Your parents are proud too, I can tell. Have fun!
@@chrisdidios9963 I don't understand how they failed to add a retaining wall. Isn't their big brother an architect by trade? As in, he designs & builds homes/buildings for a living & is the guy building their second home. They could've asked the guy or a professional for some FREE advice.
@@Jordanfiend361 who’s a weirdo ? U calling me a weirdo ? I been telling those guys since they poured that concrete slab on that pile of dirt that they need to build up the dirt around it. Because you can already see the dirt coming lose from up under the slab. So all I was saying was I been telling them they need to build up more dirt around the slab to avoid erosion or otherwise the whole thing in 5 years will slide down the mountain. So how that make me a weirdo ?
@@beckyumphrey2626 wish they would get back to their bread and butter and what got me hooked on their channel, rebuilding cars. To me this house and barn building stuff is boring as hell.
yep, it's going to need underpinning very shortly. Now that the roof sheeting is on and no gutters, the water runoff is going to erode the slab area very, very quickly..
You are absolutely right. We use them alot. They are called Gabion baskets. Very versatile and easy to use. Plus it would look good with all the rip rap stone next to their mountain barn.
@@AshbinSanthosh anyone injured or property damage includin but not limited to... eresonon of outsife property without a permit... purpusfull neglect, lack of erosion control, and what is weird is the boys dont use the natural resourses... they built a retaining wall around 1 house... i habe a valid point and u know in fr... GOD BLESS
@@4TwentyFour20 LOL There wont be a single lawsuit. One, Tennessee law doesn't require a permit to build a detached shed, garage, barn that is not a living structure. Two, there's no law outlining "purposeful neglect." Three, Erosion control for where they live is completely up to them, there's no law against what they did because it only effects their own property. There are no neighbors close enough or down hill that could be effected from the possible storm water run off. None of your points were valid and you honestly made yourself look like a complete moron for responding at all.
I realize it will be mentioned a few times here and you have addressed the issue in one of your last vids .Yes the barn is on clay but a wash out is imminent , the first major rainfall and you will be in trouble . Even a load of gravel might slow it down . I know if it goes down the mountain it will make a good vid but do you really want that , your pops works so hard to help build this great man cave with the 69 Camaro in the center . Dont tempt fate because she will bite when you are not looking ..
Another problem is shrinkage, clay shrinks when it dries out the building stops it getting wet so it will dry out and the trees suck up all the water so it will dry it out as well, the clay could literally shrink by several inches leaving a void under the concrete, which of course will then crack and if they put anything heavy in there could even give way.
@@C.CUMM1NGS You also brought up some valid points , clay has some good qualities and bad as you mentioned but not at that incline . I am sure the boys are aware now but it would of been easier to dump a load of gravel over the edge before building the back wall of the barn if that was going to be a chosen temporary fix ..
@@waynesbutler7834 they should build from the start, as with the new house, a retaining wall. Then filling it with earth mixed different size rocks, and topped by gravel. All compacted by layers. This would provide a more stable soil, less prone to soil movement due to water infiltration.
@@RogerM88 Yup, the biggest problem is not the slope, but the dirt. It will always wash away. You need boulders, stone and gravel as a foundation on slopes.
Dream fort for a couple of teenagers. :) A retaining wall will not stop the 8 foot deep fill the slab is setting on from settling but at least you can have a settling porch to go along with it. Great entertainment for sure.
My thoughts, water is seeping between the building foundation and the road. Once it starts to go it will be to late. You definitely need a retaining wall. There is no way that has completely settled yet. The corners of the foundation are exposed.
Paint booth build next haha. Even if it’s janky. Ya’ll slowly removing the middle man, it’s cool to see. No more going to borrow things haha. Can do your own frame pulling, tires, last is paint and ya’ll set!
U have the equipment dig dirt and haul it and build your dirt up around the back and sides and put some big stone on the backside. This will stop 🛑 any erosion or at the least slow it down to a minimum. 😉👍
In the last two months that I found this boys, I’ve seen every build including Billy’s house & new garage. I have enjoyed every second of it, but I’m sad I can’t binge anymore. 😂😭😂😭
Looking great dudes! One thing you want to be really careful of is using unshielded wire like that for an extension cord. Running it through the woods and across a road; If you get a cut in the wire and touch it or it gets wet, you could seriously shock yourselves! Invest in a proper outdoor extension cord!!
Standard concrete is fine, the pad needed to be compacted properly, retaining wall and building a proper foundation accordinmg to standrds then they would of be A OK..
@@PFBruno3 It is going to crack. That is inevitable. Most concrete pads are designed to accept a certain amount of cracking. The soil is going to change constantly based on wet and dry cycles. If you put up a timelapse of your yard it would look like waves rolling along. Plus rain water can channel underneath and leave voids which will promote cracking. I'm just really afraid it could go careening down the mountain because the soil was not properly compacted in lifts.
I love these guy but this build is so unsafe. That mound needed geo-grid to tie it into the mountain, water is going to travel under that slab and cause erosion from underneath, the water has no way of escaping other than to push the dirt and clay out. One day the whole thing is just going to slip down the side of the mountain.
Makes for good content and engagement. Of course they're gonna put a retainer in. In the meantime the 'will they ...won't they'? Adds to channel stats.....and money. That's how it works.
Why didn't you use the trees you cut down and cut them into logs that can be driven into the ground as posts and then use other logs cut down the length to act as a supporting wall to hold back the soil you have built the building on?
@Larry Flynn and how much have they already either burnt or chipped just for the hell of it. They've cut one hell of a lot of trees down on that property.
Yeah I told them that and lots others have but they ain’t listening. Have you noticed that there is already empty spots of no clay up under the edges of the concrete slab? If they do not haul in more dirt and build that dirt up all the way around the two sides & the back it will slide off that mountain in 2 years or less! Weather 🌧 hot 🥵 and cold 🥶 and gravity is a powerful force. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Guys, consider a railway sleeper retaining wall. Vertically planted in a strong concrete footing. Quick & easy. (Not sure about cost because it’s a long time since I did one. It will look fantastic in that wooded environment.
Shoulda put pier holes/holds in the slab when pouring (not really sure what they’re called in the US) just a circle/augered footing/holes under the slab, but starter bars in and slab reo bar ties to it Usually do a whole series of them. Not sure if this makes sense but keep up the great work!
Your putting a lot of effort and money in to this. if I were you I would get in contact with an engineer to figure out what to do to keep this from sliding down the hill. Good Luck!
Use timber cut from trees on the property. Using your new saw mill cut the trees down to squares and lay them horizontally. You can do several levels starting down low and stepping up until your level with the back of the concrete pad.
Forget a block retaining wall there. Wait till you put some weight in there and a nice big rainstorm comes. Think of it like a piece of cake, crust on top amd bottom with a creamy filling in the middle. The middle being the topsoil you left under the fill.
You guys got to switch up the cars. When you guys go to the store usually take the TRX or the Raptor! It'll be fun to switch up and see some of the older cars like the cop car and the Viper.:-) love the contents keep working hard boys!
I am convinced they do stuff "wrong" to drive views and create controversy. It also creates good content when it fails and they go back and fix it. Gotta keep people invested! Haha.
Seeing gaps under the concrete after just a week is enough warning for you. Get that retaining wall in as priority one, then backfill with 3/4” sand/mixed and tamp ever 4-6” with a gas tamper. Don’t cheat on this!

They remind me of the guy trying to cut a branch from a tree but can't quite get at it to cut it, so he climbs out onto the branch and turns to see he has perfect access to the branch now, he starts cutting...
@@musicbro8225 Well, maybe their fame/fortune can allow them to throw this building away and start over from scratch...
@@JMunsonII That's true and who am I to judge their failures as an example of best practices for self satisfaction and use of planets resources. Maybe that's fine for them, but for some reason it irritates me. I guess the Goons in Goonzquad is not just a brand :)
Using the green timber on this man cave will be perfect haha.
A nice pond would be nice
Guess some "gotta fix our mistake" content was needed. Going to be a pain putting up that retaining wall with the building in place. Putting the blocks up won't be difficult, but filling in the dirt will be. Going to have to make it an L shape and far enough from the building so they can get the skidsteer around to the back. Build wall, start filling from side to pad level and work your way around.
yup
Goonzsquad 2022: Presentation,going home, eating,buying stuff,going back with stuff,more talking,a bit of building,going after more stuff,talking and peace!
You need a bigger size wire to run down because the voltage drop is too much for 14/2. It’s bad for the tools.
They don’t like to do things right if you couldn’t tell
Just google Voltage drop calculator and it will give you the size conductors to use for that length and current.
They rushed into too many things without thinking about long-term
I was thinking the exact same thing. That wire might even just burn up and melt
@@MythUnknown It wouldn't burn up if the voltage drops. Wires burn up if the current is overloading an undersized conductor. But at that point it would just trip a breaker.
It's gotta be the third set of pouches u all bought since I been watch youns
What? You need a retaining wall? NO WAY... who would of ever thought that?
😅
Yes, please build that retaining wall . Most of all take the time compact the ground ! Make sure you have proper drainage for the ground. Also that roof can be used to rain harvest into a few 800 gl. tanks. I have no idea why you chose to put your water tanks inside the house structure. Where I come from space is premium, even the basement. Good luck guys ! So glad you got the portable saw mill. Remember , you want it on level ground. You probably want it to have a roof coverage like a car port. to protect it from the rain and snow. where ever you put it plan for a covered storage for your milled lumber. even if it's only 3 covered walls. Lumber needs to be able to dry out slowly and protected from rain and snow. Can hardly wait to see you guys mill some lumber ! maybe you use the lumber to build a tree house 😄. I'm sure you can get into a ton projects for the new house with the lumber you mill from your own trees !👍
👆🏻You have been picked among our fan for today presentation🎁👆🏻👆🏻!!
You guys can also use railroad ties... for a retaining wall material...keep up the good work guys and glad to see pops doing well..
If you want to do it again....
Get a compactor and start compacting, work from bottom up, adding fill dirt as needed. Once it's solidly compacted, dig a 6' deep 3' wide footing. Before footing is completely setup, install anchors and set Jersey barriers as containment wall. Back fill with more dirt and compact. It won't be cheap but it will hold up forever. Did this for a customer years 35 years ago and it's still holding. Good luck boys.
Definitely need a retaining wall. Every rain will slowly wash out the dirt and you probably won't notice until it's to late.
Yepp, what he said. Why not treat it like the backyard at the other headquarters
Keep in mind that the retaining wall will need to start being dug into the ground to help anchor it and resist forces from the shifting soil
sliding house downhill will generate more views ergo more money that your retaining wall
You get what you deserve, so many professionals handed over free advice and you mocked them.
A lot of "We told you so.
Silly kids must stick to fixing cars up..
@@Cent51
Both brothers are getting sloppy. Maybe it's the money or a change in direction?
@@KermitOfWar it’s money they even said they’ll just pay for everything all over again if it goes downhill even the concrete is going to go to sh*t
@@KermitOfWar They're definitely showing a lot more arrogance in the past several months. Really disliking the attitude/direction change.
There were several. I know an engineer and myself (an inspector) tried to pass that advice along, and we do this for a living. Hopefully they can get a contained retaining wall put in ASAP because they did not compact that soil in lifts like you really should. Then when they do the deck off the back, if they don't want to pour footings, they could always geopier it a bit with a pre-poured footing block and use that for stability.
If you don't cover it in this video, you boys are going to have a tough time with that back bit on your build. You need to add another 3 or 4 feet to shore that up or you'll lose the corner or back of that pad I'm afraid. As an older guy not necessarily knowledgeable about cars, I never miss an episode, and it's so so much fun to watch you boys do such wonderful things with everything you have in your pipeline. Hats off to you and I hope you enjoy every minute of it. Your parents are proud too, I can tell. Have fun!
Until you get a retaining wall done, put a tarp over the soil to prevent any further erosion / undermining.
pretty funny they made fun of people that suggested a retaining wall in the behind the scenes video...but it is true..they do need one
any dumb ass can see this wont last long with out one... one good hard rain is going to just wash/erode the ground around it
They get what they deserve.
I thought they said they know it’s gonna happen but they just wanna see for themselves.
Karma at it's finest
@@chrisdidios9963
I don't understand how they failed to add a retaining wall. Isn't their big brother an architect by trade? As in, he designs & builds homes/buildings for a living & is the guy building their second home. They could've asked the guy or a professional for some FREE advice.
"Powerstroke generators" are the way to go. 😂
I hate to say I TOLD YOU SO ABOUT THE EROSION. But I told ya so 🤣🤣🤣
Not sure how that’s even funny. Y’all def Some weirdos
@@Jordanfiend361 well we’ve told them MANY times to sort it out and oh let’s see they’ve done jackshit and only now realise there faults
@@Jordanfiend361 who’s a weirdo ? U calling me a weirdo ? I been telling those guys since they poured that concrete slab on that pile of dirt that they need to build up the dirt around it. Because you can already see the dirt coming lose from up under the slab. So all I was saying was I been telling them they need to build up more dirt around the slab to avoid erosion or otherwise the whole thing in 5 years will slide down the mountain. So how that make me a weirdo ?
You guys should definitely get a giant custom goonzquad logo centered along back wall of the barn. Keep up the good work!
13:07 all that voided space under the slab is where it's going to fail first.
Yep, that slab is going to snap in half. I think this entire thing is just for entertainment. No way will that barn last a year like it is.
@@beckyumphrey2626 wish they would get back to their bread and butter and what got me hooked on their channel, rebuilding cars. To me this house and barn building stuff is boring as hell.
yep, it's going to need underpinning very shortly. Now that the roof sheeting is on and no gutters, the water runoff is going to erode the slab area very, very quickly..
The Dr Strange hands had me and my wife dying!!!🤟🤟🤣🤣
Defo needs retaining, U can buy cages and fill them with large stone. Looking great tho and a nice deck would make it fantastic 🙂
You are absolutely right. We use them alot. They are called Gabion baskets. Very versatile and easy to use. Plus it would look good with all the rip rap stone next to their mountain barn.
Yes go with gabions, ideal for this. It needs to be done now
A barrier wall on the back then finish it with a huge deck on the back! Perfect !!
If they don't do a retaining wall just think of the awesome content we'll get to see after this thing collapses.
and lawsuits
@@4TwentyFour20 lawsuits from who ????
@@AshbinSanthosh anyone injured or property damage includin but not limited to... eresonon of outsife property without a permit... purpusfull neglect, lack of erosion control, and what is weird is the boys dont use the natural resourses... they built a retaining wall around 1 house... i habe a valid point and u know in fr... GOD BLESS
@@4TwentyFour20 LOL There wont be a single lawsuit. One, Tennessee law doesn't require a permit to build a detached shed, garage, barn that is not a living structure. Two, there's no law outlining "purposeful neglect." Three, Erosion control for where they live is completely up to them, there's no law against what they did because it only effects their own property. There are no neighbors close enough or down hill that could be effected from the possible storm water run off. None of your points were valid and you honestly made yourself look like a complete moron for responding at all.
which will collapse first this shed or america find out next time
You should get huge river rocks to put on the back of that barn!!! it would look amazing!
If you install wheels on the concrete slab, you can winch it back, every time it sliding down the hill.
Dont worry in 6 months it will be a rebuild blog. Heading will be. How too pull a shed up a hill by a skid steer
this is the only solution at this point, genius
Definitely get that retaining wall up ASAP y'all won't regret it.
I realize it will be mentioned a few times here and you have addressed the issue in one of your last vids .Yes the barn is on clay but a wash out is imminent , the first major rainfall and you will be in trouble . Even a load of gravel might slow it down . I know if it goes down the mountain it will make a good vid but do you really want that , your pops works so hard to help build this great man cave with the 69 Camaro in the center . Dont tempt fate because she will bite when you are not looking ..
Another problem is shrinkage, clay shrinks when it dries out the building stops it getting wet so it will dry out and the trees suck up all the water so it will dry it out as well, the clay could literally shrink by several inches leaving a void under the concrete, which of course will then crack and if they put anything heavy in there could even give way.
@@C.CUMM1NGS You also brought up some valid points , clay has some good qualities and bad as you mentioned but not at that incline . I am sure the boys are aware now but it would of been easier to dump a load of gravel over the edge before building the back wall of the barn if that was going to be a chosen temporary fix ..
@@waynesbutler7834 hope all can stay safe😊
@@waynesbutler7834 they should build from the start, as with the new house, a retaining wall. Then filling it with earth mixed different size rocks, and topped by gravel. All compacted by layers. This would provide a more stable soil, less prone to soil movement due to water infiltration.
@@RogerM88 Yup, the biggest problem is not the slope, but the dirt. It will always wash away. You need boulders, stone and gravel as a foundation on slopes.
A deck all around made of the threes that are cut for the house would be awesome!
Honestly I’m not even upset that you guys stopped rebuild videos for these ones. So good!
👆🏻You have been picked among our fan for today presentation,👆🏻👆🏻!!

Dream fort for a couple of teenagers. :) A retaining wall will not stop the 8 foot deep fill the slab is setting on from settling but at least you can have a settling porch to go along with it. Great entertainment for sure.
My thoughts, water is seeping between the building foundation and the road. Once it starts to go it will be to late. You definitely need a retaining wall. There is no way that has completely settled yet. The corners of the foundation are exposed.
NOW!
Would be a sick bar! With a fireplace and all👌🏼
Might want to consider putting some erosion protection on the backside of the barn. Plastic rolls with rocks on top so water doesn't hit the soil.
No worries. You'll be watching a VIDEO IN A YEAR OF THEM TAKING IT DOWN!
@@GG-bn5cz more like when all the dirt washes out from under the slab us seeing a video of them chasing it down the mountain 🏔 as it’s sliding. 🤣
Paint booth build next haha.
Even if it’s janky. Ya’ll slowly removing the middle man, it’s cool to see. No more going to borrow things haha. Can do your own frame pulling, tires, last is paint and ya’ll set!
U have the equipment dig dirt and haul it and build your dirt up around the back and sides and put some big stone on the backside. This will stop 🛑 any erosion or at the least slow it down to a minimum. 😉👍
In the last two months that I found this boys, I’ve seen every build including Billy’s house & new garage. I have enjoyed every second of it, but I’m sad I can’t binge anymore. 😂😭😂😭
Maybe if you have some concrete, bricks and rebar left over from the foundation of the new house
you could use it to build a retaining wall?
Looking great dudes! One thing you want to be really careful of is using unshielded wire like that for an extension cord. Running it through the woods and across a road; If you get a cut in the wire and touch it or it gets wet, you could seriously shock yourselves! Invest in a proper outdoor extension cord!!
Between the missing retaining wall and thin non-fiber concrete pad, that thing may be doomed.
You really don't need fiber in the concrete for this. If you were going to add anything, probably a plasticizer.
Standard concrete is fine, the pad needed to be compacted properly, retaining wall and building a proper foundation accordinmg to standrds then they would of be A OK..
@@terrorfex1611 Ya probably right. I see that thing cracking I like mad if it doesn’t go surfing first.
@@PFBruno3 It is going to crack. That is inevitable. Most concrete pads are designed to accept a certain amount of cracking. The soil is going to change constantly based on wet and dry cycles. If you put up a timelapse of your yard it would look like waves rolling along. Plus rain water can channel underneath and leave voids which will promote cracking. I'm just really afraid it could go careening down the mountain because the soil was not properly compacted in lifts.
Everytime the episode is about to end I really be wishing that it was a hour long .
I love these guy but this build is so unsafe. That mound needed geo-grid to tie it into the mountain, water is going to travel under that slab and cause erosion from underneath, the water has no way of escaping other than to push the dirt and clay out. One day the whole thing is just going to slip down the side of the mountain.
Makes for good content and engagement. Of course they're gonna put a retainer in. In the meantime the 'will they ...won't they'? Adds to channel stats.....and money. That's how it works.
@@davidjma7226 Thanks for explaining TH-cam. It is also good content if the whole thing slides down the mountain, win/win I guess.
DUDE FAVORITE GLOVE POSITION 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Why didn't you use the trees you cut down and cut them into logs that can be driven into the ground as posts and then use other logs cut down the length to act as a supporting wall to hold back the soil you have built the building on?
They would likely rot if not ground treated.
More fun grinding them up I suppose.
@Larry Flynn and how much have they already either burnt or chipped just for the hell of it. They've cut one hell of a lot of trees down on that property.
It would be sweet to see you guys finish the Camaro in there to break in the Man Cave!
Use large boulders from your property for the retaining wall
Yeah I told them that and lots others have but they ain’t listening. Have you noticed that there is already empty spots of no clay up under the edges of the concrete slab? If they do not haul in more dirt and build that dirt up all the way around the two sides & the back it will slide off that mountain in 2 years or less! Weather 🌧 hot 🥵 and cold 🥶 and gravity is a powerful force. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Guys, consider a railway sleeper retaining wall. Vertically planted in a strong concrete footing. Quick & easy. (Not sure about cost because it’s a long time since I did one. It will look fantastic in that wooded environment.
Before any construction on the slope. You guys should build some retaining wall, you've the equipment for that. The same applies to the new house.
Shoulda put pier holes/holds in the slab when pouring (not really sure what they’re called in the US) just a circle/augered footing/holes under the slab, but starter bars in and slab reo bar ties to it
Usually do a whole series of them. Not sure if this makes sense but keep up the great work!
Your putting a lot of effort and money in to this. if I were you I would get in contact with an
engineer to figure out what to do to keep this from sliding down the hill. Good Luck!
Use timber cut from trees on the property. Using your new saw mill cut the trees down to squares and lay them horizontally. You can do several levels starting down low and stepping up until your level with the back of the concrete pad.
Forget a block retaining wall there. Wait till you put some weight in there and a nice big rainstorm comes. Think of it like a piece of cake, crust on top amd bottom with a creamy filling in the middle. The middle being the topsoil you left under the fill.
You guys got to switch up the cars. When you guys go to the store usually take the TRX or the Raptor! It'll be fun to switch up and see some of the older cars like the cop car and the Viper.:-) love the contents keep working hard boys!
Couple bottles of Dang Sauce sprinkled around the backside will cure your erosion issues.
oh man I lol'd so hard
Saw mill awesome, love it,can't wait to see it making lumber,pops is doing great he is a pro
I am convinced they do stuff "wrong" to drive views and create controversy. It also creates good content when it fails and they go back and fix it. Gotta keep people invested! Haha.
And there you have it ;)
