Here for the "blurred nip" comments!
Uwu
Hmmm
I'm upset the feet got blurred too
I thought it was pretty funny that they have to be blurred
Fleshy!!
The blurred nip made me giggle, but the blurred foot made me CACKLE and wake my infant 😭🤣🫶🏻
Chicken wire mesh for structure and moss. It's super easy to grow and will help stop erosion and it's super drought resistant not to mention it looks beautiful.
I love that the foot was blurred 😂
Thank you Mrs Toonz for letting Luke get a new drone to show us the progress of your house
Toonz is honestly a vampire since most of the time. He is in the house gaming 🤣
In the dark as well. 😂
I’d say cut that wall back on a more gradual slope and seed it. The roots will hold everything together. Do not get close in its current state, that dirt can shift and suffocate you.
its a whee bit nipply out lmao
😮😅
Hey Toonz, Hesco barrier would look cool af and it's fast (you have dirt and excavator on site). On the other hand your intuition for cheapest solution is spot on, but as a construction engineer I can tell you I personally wouldn't go near that "cliffhanger" you made. Btw you'll need a geologist to come on site periodically to evaluate how stable that is just to be "safe". Sorry for grammar, not my native tongue 😉👍
that vertical soil could be prone of landslide. I guess you could cut those soil in multiple steps, it could become a nice terrace garden steps :D.
But they'll be shooting guns into it, so a garden is out of the question.
I have so much more respect for all construction workers thanks to these videos seeing them at it without just driving by in my car, such a cool experience watch happen
I know where I live, you can purchase discarded telephone poles for 25$-50$ a piece, wrap those with chicken wire with a pole like every 10ft or so helps with erosion and the pole give structure and will help with landslide, male a fence basically
I'm so excited to see this house get built. As a structural engineer, this part is cool to see. A word of warning on the wood framing: I constantly see wood framers do as they please without regard for what drawings are showing. I wonder if you have an inspector that is going to be checking on the framer's work. Wall alignment, wall-on-wall construction- not stable!- toe-nail connections where not appropriate for high loads, incorrect top of wall elevations, etc. And framer's will just say "I've been doing it this way for 40 years" as if that makes it any better.
If I see a thing out of place I will be raging in the comment section!!
Thanks goodness that there was rain so that error could be noticed and fixed before it became huge.
Also, I'm learning so much about building houses from this, it's kind of odd but cool at the same time.
0:30 so true, Dollar Generals just pick any empty dirt block, and slam one down haha
Can I ask what Dollar Generals is?
@@MadmanJnr Whoa that surprises me! I'm guessing it is just a US thing. But it's a grocery store, that is a literal square, and they are everywhere. IN a ten mile radius of me, there are 5 of them
@Leviahthon YT cheers. Yeah I figured it's an American thing. Never heard of it until now, I'm from down under haha
@@MadmanJnr yeah there’s 19,000 of them currently and rapidly growing. Very common sight in the southern US.
For the steep corner hill area, terrace step it, make a vertical garden!? 🤷🏻 Never run out of fresh food! 😊
This is so amazingly awesome. It was so cool to see the road actually being made while you were there. That man had mad skills and it turned out beautifully. I am glad y'all caught that error before it was too late.
It was the blurred foot for me 😂😂😂
I cannot wait until this is finished. It’s gonna look amazing!
For the range area walls that are 60’ x 100’ x 30’ (cool idea) make a Batcave. Restore a muscle car, put a lazy Susan for your car in it and call it good. Make it a hang out area for when y’all are done shooting. Thoughts?? This could always happen down the road too. Doesn’t have to be this exact moment.
Glad the issue was found before the concrete was put in, that is not a headache you want to deal with. For the erosion worries, maybe look for a native ivy or ground crawler to help keep the cliffs in one piece?
Please be very careful installing a heat source (sauna) right beside a water source (bathroom). This would breed mold if not properly installed / vented.
You might want to think about dicondra grass. It’s a type of grass that looks like clover. It spreads but you never have to mow it and it won’t let the ground erode. I probably spelled dicondra wrong but I spelled it phonetically.
lol for real blurred the feet. love it
Look up Valor Ridge, Reid threw up railroad to catch the erosion from his range walls.
You could use a bunch of those railroad ties on that hill instead of the burlap stuff.
Man, that is some divine intervention that helped y'all realize things weren't right. Glad it was caught before everything got set up.That would have been a VERY costly error.
13:54 if your worried about walls giving way because of erosion, there’s some areas down hear in souther New Mexico where… I dunno what it’s called, it looks like a chain link fence basically staked to the ground to prevent rock slides in the more mountainous parts. Property looks good though!
Me at the start: Vibes to intro excited to see more Genay content 💃🏼
At the end: This was cool but 🥺
Thanks for the updates yall!
Damn basement is bigger than all three of the last houses I've lived in put together o.0
NOT THE BLURRING OF THE TOON NIPS 😂😂😂😂
Here, for landslides area, they pin large netting into the ground. From top to bottom.
Tbh im surprised by how much money toonz has,knowing that quite a few of his videos on his main channel are demonitized
If you use railroad ties I would suggest asking where the railroad plans to do replacements as they normally just leave the old ones in piles next to the rails.
You have an opportunity with the corner of that parking lot. Build a stone block wall(which you could mural) or giant rock wall ( Megalithic Style ) Limestone/Granite carvings , something beautiful instead of just prevent dirt from falling
Your going to need to invest in either a company to spray the rock 3 times a uear. Or a nice 4 wheeler with a large sprayer. Because you might be getting some weeds eventually, no idea how the weed growth is down there. A sterilant weed killer would be best before emergence.
You could try a loose stone retaining wall. Not super common, but fairly effective, and not nearly as expensive as a full retaining wall
Concrete brick retaining wall
Idk what you had planned for your garage (if you have one) but when you pour the concrete I would also pay someone to coat it with resin that way it’ll have that great feeling and it’s also much easier to clean
That Dollar General comment really got me 🤣
Tiered garden beds/shrub beds down the range walls to stop erosion and some scenery added out there so its not just a dirt wall.
your gonna need to build a retainer wall ,rain erosion is real . You have Zero tree's to suck up water on top but you have architects so I'm sure you know all this
The equipment is there just cut that hill down so you don't need bags or netting put it at a lower angle then seed it
scrap tires secured together and back filled with dirt/sand. will also act as a retaining wall for the dirt
The blurred foot made me laugh!
Try a large wall like they would do when the cut into a hill for a building
What about a rock wall,very little maintenance, sturdy, the erosion would just pile up against it possibly-I’m not a ground engineer-
We need more vlogs from you two! I loved when she would take us thrifting
There's this g o gride that u pin this mesh and then back fill and it holds the dirt in place.
The blurred foot took me out 😂💀
Like others have said you could do terrace landscaping. Other option might be sprayed concrete. I think you would put in long large bolts and wire mess and then spray concrete on to that.
One moment your wearing mittens and the next your walking in your flip flops 🩴 that’s some weather there 😮😢
As far as ideas for that sheared hill, ain’t nothing “easy” I can think of, but part of my pea-brain says dig out a little cave and make pottery (with a flamethrower if you so choose).
Watching this channel honestly brings me such joy!
I'd love to be part of something as incredible as your journey!
I'm jealous but also happy for you and the wife... everything looks great so far
Plopping down a Dollar General like it's a hotel in Monopoly! lol Glad the team caught the mistake before pouring!
Blasting mats for your retaining walls around the range.
Lmao toonz rockin the shirt 😂😂😂nice
I would say put a retaining wall in but if your shooting at it then idk
Button that shirt up my boy
Do what they do for the sides of freeways that are in the mountains and fence it with real tight fencing
Put a bulkhead to fix that hill
It’s coming along. So happy for you guys
This reminds me of when I used to help my old landlady build some new rooms out in big island Hawaii the only difference is you got a hole team of guy’s that knows what to do we only me and this one other kid doing what this 60year old fire cracker wanted lol good memories and I hope your home is filled with the lasting memories you put into it for generations thanks for always making me laugh
P.s look into planting lemon grass garlic marigolds and sunflowers they work grate at repealing mosquitoes and if you put them in a blender with some water you have some of the best bug spray in the world
May the force be with you Luke. ;)
I know it's gonna be the backstop for your gun range but alot of the suggestions are right either stair step it or slope it back to about a 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 and then you can grass it and it'll help with the erosion and still be an effective backstop straight down is gonna break off horribly in time bubba
Dude use gabions along those walls, filled with rock. No erosion and will last forever
No cap, I have this video on one monitor and the news muted on another, and the reporter is on the scene in front of Acme Beer and Wine in Philly.
17:26 Luke gets attacked
Yo, all those hours on games prepared you for drone piloting, those are some nice shots... just avoid the trees.
Try pinning sod and letting it roll down then your have a grass back ground to you range
This is about to be one of the coolest houses in the south
I would do those walls of dirt into a terranced garden.
Potentially you could use chicken wire or wire mesh to cover the walls of the shooting range
What about the wire mesh highway net they use to stop rock slides
Really enjoy cant wait to watch more
I wonder how much a project like this costs, its really cool!
Anyone also think of the Movie cars and Bessy when the road was being laid down
I love these updates. Interesting to watch the process.
Thanks for the update! Looking good there Luke. Keep us posted!
Ay you guys are awesome! Keep going strong!
Thanks for the ladder tip. Love these videos.
If you still have logs from some of the trees that was cut down them up like like post are like a log cabin wall may have to dig some holes but it's using what you have
So jealous of this setup. Congrats on all your success.
3:09 You know you play too much Snowrunner when you recognize the type of tires that are on that truck-
Man love all these videos seeing updates on the house and property. The plus is seeing that gorgeous truck. Gooooood Danmmmm 😍
new video heck yeah!
Cartoonz honey please start coming out in the daylight some you blinding everybody with that whiteness. Love you dude excited for the progress much live from former Tarheel
Thought I subscribed a long time ago but turns out I didn't so missed like 3 videos so I have to binge watch them all.
i loving this build, its gunna be heven when all done. big w cartoonz
Hopefully things still go smooth so that your dream home can soon open. Can’t wait to see it when it does. ❤❤❤
Looks like where the Ninja Turtles will be coming from!
Hescos are good. Used tires work decent too for ranges. I'm always at the range when I can afford it haha
Love that intro video and song …it’s like the intro to a cartoon….ohh the irony 😂😂… love you can’t wait to watch all these videos ❤
You can hydro seed. That should take care of the erosion issue.
Galvanized hex mesh netting might work
love the vids
Love you toonz
🖤❤️🤟🏻🤘🏻 I've been here since day one
AWESOME channel and amazing content 'Toonz! Subbed for life bro!
3ditor
I was a little confused about the blurred nips but even more confused by the blurred foot then I remembered some ppl have a foot fetish can't just be giving those toes out like that lol
