- We finally got to use the metal that came off our roof last year to retrofit one of our raised beds. Matt shows how he made it in this video and we chat about washing machine woes and more!

If you want more protection against the edge of the metal. I took an old water hose and split it and slid it on to cover the edge.
I love the look of it. I’m glad it came out so good. Great idea.
I love watching Matt figure out and make stuff. It reminds me of my husband. He was a plumber and made so many things for me, from a candle stand of copper to my outdoor chairs and a free standing 2 person hammock out of plastic pipe. He has been gone now for over a decade and I miss him every day. But I have reminders of the things he made for me all over the house and yard.😊
I'm sorry you lost him. Glad you have those reminders 😊
The garden beds look great! I showed my husband the first part of the video with Matt putting the beds together and he said “they looks real nice, but that guy likes to work. I don’t.” 😂 Oh well, I was hoping he would get inspired, but when my husband retired, he actually retired from any kind of work. I love it that you two dream together. It keeps you both young, I think.
"As long as the Lady of the Manor is satisified".... That's right, hehe 🙂 It looks really great!
The burning of the wood lignin gets rid of the food that the bugs like to eat : D
Did not watch yet Tipper and Matt. Need extra prayers the next 7 days if you could spare any. Xoxo ❤
🙏🙏🙏

I will be praying for you!!
Whatever you're going through, I ask that God's arms are wrapped around you with HIS healing Grace ✨️ 💛 I pray 🙏 in Jesus Holy Name, 🙏 ❤️ Amen

Matt thinks better on his feet and off the cuff, than a professional with a degree and years of experience. You go Matt!! I love seeing Tipper you so excited about her garden. Like a kid at Christmas. Tipper, Matt fulfills your dreams, and I bet he loves that smile it gives you. True love, your house is blessed. So is ours, celebrating 35 years together in May. God is gracious.
Happy early Anniversary!! Mine too is in May, 34 years.
I also absolutely 💯 adore Matt and Tipper!! Their love for each other as well as family just beams like fresh sunshine 🌞 resonating through our screens.
How PRECIOUS to have such a HEAVENLY relationship lasting a lifetime ✨️💛✨️
Married 54 years. I do not Like Him. He does not Like Me. Too Old to Leave. GOD will take ONE of us soon. Pray that it is ME.
Matt is a professional with hands on life and work experience. Getting a degree isn’t always necessary, trust me.
@@mrs.b6719 Thank you! Happy Anniversary to you both also. Love for another bound by the love of God, is a lasting foundation.. Gives strength through many storms, surrounds us with unexplainable joys and is a testament to God's grace and Love.
@lindathewordlady3204 Amen 🙏 to that!!! Our faith in God has been our blessing throughout our journey together and our children have been raised in a Christian household witnessing how powerful we believe that God and Jesus are our salvation and strength through everything we do and say on the daily 🙏 We truly walk by faith through even the toughest days 🙏 ❤️
Be BLESSED ALWAYS my friend ❤️ 🙏
Matt sure did a fantastic job on that raised bed
I saw that burning technique on the TV show fixer upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines. They did it on a house boat. We bought a new washer in 2017 and it was acting up alresdy. I am also blessed with a husband that is very macanical inclined. Ive never had to call a repair man. Our refrigerator of 2004 was acting up over the summer, he fixed it. God is so good..Matt is so handy. Its a blessing for sure 😊
Tipper, I don’t know about you, but I have always loved watching a man work. My daddy was a hard working man, like yours. There really wasn’t anything much he couldn’t do, make or fix. I spent my childhood watching him work on so many weekend projects. Because of that, I grew up knowing you can pretty much do anything if you set your mind to it. It’s just fascinating how they can assess a situation and know exactly what it takes to do the project. Congratulations Matt on a great job. Those beds will last forever. 😊❤😊
Save the peach wood to burn in the smoker. 🔥
You guys have a lot on your plate coming up. New grandbaby, reviving Pap's old garden, possibly building a new barn. Then in June second grandbaby! Wow! Praying for you guys & Granny. Grammy from Texas
😁
Ms. Tipper, you have an extremely smart good looking husband. You two are so funny. Love watching you guys. Your beds look awesome. Great job!!!
Tipper, that is one smart husband you have there! Really. Matt thinks like my cousin Clint in South Carolina who can pretty much build anything. Amazing talent to have and so good to solve problems.
Look how dark that soil looks. Looks mighty fine for growing your veggies. Great job Matt on the beds.
I watched a family in Alaska who built a home with logs, They used the burning method and burnt all their logs inside and out. At first I didn’t think it would work, but of course they went through other stages and it turned out beautiful. It’s suppose to make the logs last longer. Matt you need to be proud, that’s an awesome job . and Tipper loves it.
Matt, just buy a washing machine - you do enough!
Matt needs a promotion 👏🏻👏🏻💯💯🙏
Thank y'all for another enjoyable, informative visit. Plan on trying the wood charring. May God look over y'all and the family, and I'll be looking forward to the next video
This reminds me of when I was a kid watching my Dad work around the house. I’d follow him around “helping” him.
Matt does everything with perfection ❤❤
Matt did a great job on those raised beds. He is very gifted and ingenious.👍
Love the metal and wood!! It's cool to re-purpose stuff.
Maybe you can give ol' "Stanley McConnell" a call? You could get a quote and a visit. 😊
Might be good content? Stone masons are rare these days.
As always, prayers for everyone. ❤
Speed Queen. - the traditional, basic one. Best decision I ever made.
Please buy a Speed Queen. They are a little more expensive, but they are built to last. They are simple in design, and are used in the laundromats. Love y'alls family!!
We had a 1972 Maytag washer that was still working great when we moved in 2019. They definitely don’t make them to last like that anymore.
You two make me smile. Thank you so very much!!! ❤️🙏🏼☺️🇨🇷
I wish they make washer like they did in the old days
Matt is a Renaissance man. Priceless!
That’s a awesome job Matt. Thank y’all for sharing another awesome video.
Matt, you did a great job on that bed! Happy wife, happy life!! Smart man!
Wow Matt, that's fantastic!!
My husband would agree 100% about the new washing machines with the auto sensing and lid lock. Gets his blood pressure WAY high 😊 The new garden bed looks great!
My daughter and son in law have went thru 4 brand new washing machines in 5 years. They would have them fixed and they would teR up again.Finally his Mama went up to a furniture store with them and told the people that they wanted a machine like they used in the laundry mats, an industrial one. They did their best to talk them out of it. His Mama said ya'll either bring some out here so we cam choose one or we will go somewhere else. They sold them one and it's been going strong for going on 3 years. They make appliances to not last long nowadays on purpose. They do have washer and dryers that you can buy that's guaranteed for life but they are really expensive and who knows how they really work. Good job Matt.
The new washers they're making these days are the ones that are supposed to save you money on your water bill.....THEY ARE AWFUL !!! It's all you can get anymore !!! WARNING !!! The washing cycle is soooo long. It takes you almost an hour to wash a pair of jeans. These washers have so so many gears. As far as saving money on water, I CANT tell !!! If you've got an off centered load, all you can do is turn it off & start all over again.
If you want to save money on your water bill, a front loader washer will do that. They don't use as much water, & they get your clothes clean. It's the way they wash.
The worst problem with these new washers is the washing cycle is long !!!
I had one and it was so bad I sold it to someone and bought one with an agitator @@luvyourchannel923
I did a search for commercial grade washers and dryers and had to order them from a place in New York but that was about 6 years ago and they still work like new . They are Speed Queen . For home use I recommend top loader washers because the front loaders never last .
I'll have to ask what bra d and where they bought it from here in Arkansas
It's a top loader I know. The last time I bought a washer and dryer it was an old rebuilt set about 8 years ago but they are getting harder to find around here.
It’s their business model to make machines that don’t last to keep us buying them every 5 years. The old machines lasted 20 years and weren’t profitable. The new machines may save $ on a water bill, but if you’re spending a few grand every 5 years on a new set then it’s a loss. Besides, how much is it really saving in water?
Happy to see Grandpa Matt's project manager Olive drop by for a check in. Must have cut the mustard! Looks like Olive approved your beautiful work Matt! Love visiting with you every Sunday evening on this channel. Thank you for all your efforts Tipper and Matt.
It’s nice Matt can get all the hard stuff done🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Tipper, that retrofitted bed is actually BEAUTIFUL. Knowing you (as we viewers tend to think we do) you'll be filled with sweet memories and thoughts any time you look at it. The burned-wood, I never knew about and glad to learn! I love it, would love it in my yard. There's a story to it, which makes it special. Matt always makes me laugh. No pressure Matt, just keep being the same as you are. Y'all are great together. THANK YOU, as always. 🙌🏼 💞
Thank you 😊
What a cool and smart idea for your garden bed. Thank you for sharing Tipper and Matt.
What you do to make a rock wall is set the cattle panels up, fill them with the big rocks on the outside and little stones in the center
If I saw Matt's garden bed in a catalog, I would definitely pick his design. He out did himself. So nice!
love the new raised beds. Matt is a keeper!
Goodness Matt that looks really nice ❤
Matt is a genius DIY. It's a lost art, you can tell he had men around him as a young boy/man that taught him life lessons and he paid attention. My dad was the same and he passed it to his son and son in-laws. I so love watching Tipper and Matt and seeing the respect they give to those family members. I ❤️ this the most about your channel.
Thank you for the kind words!!
Hey Tipper & Matt, Really enjoyed this video -the garden ,the garden boxes,and the washing machine. Everyone in the family wanted a new washing machine but I feel if it’s not broken why get a new one - it works so well - the dryer makes noise but drys very well so will not be getting a new one until it breaks at the cabin..The new ones we had at our house we’re just awful- just like u there was a mildew smell. Thanks for sharing . ❤ & Prayers
Matt is such a handy fella.
I really love the relationship between Matt and your daughters! It's so special.❤
( Lady of the manor ) 😂😂😂 Matt's a keeper Tipper. Recycling that tin roofing a true handy man he is...😊
I think it will be really beautiful when the plants are growing in those beds.
My mother, who is 88, has a little shovel like yours that belonged to her mother. They always called it a "ladies shovel". Ten or so years ago I was thrilled to find one at a garden center, but disappointed to learn that it's a planting shovel.
That treatment on the wood and the garden bed looks absolutely wonderful. Such a good way to utilize what you already had in the extra metal roofing. They do look really sturdy, well done!
Tell Matt we love the bloopers!! And I’ve seen this burning technique a lot on my homesteading pages. People burn the wood for the raised beds 😊
Matt you are one handy guy. Nothing you can't do. God bless y'all. ❤🙏❤🙏
Matt is starting to look like a real mountain man!!! :-) Love watching everything you all do every day.
That torch tool is pretty neat! The beds look great! 🌱
😊❤we had cheapo washing machines from home depot and lowes that had to be fixed often.
We had a great repairman i saw often.
He said all those washers are not made in america. If you want a washer that lasts he said buy a speed queen so we did! 😊❤❤we have had that for 10 years without even a little issue!!! He was so right. I thank God every day for my washer!😊❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing that Debbie 😊
My mom was told the same about a speed queen
We bought a set of speed queen too love them
I purchased a Speed Queen as well they have always been commercial grade
We bought a Speed Queen set in 2013 and have had absolutely no issues with them. I highly recommend the TC5 Speed Queen washer if you're looking for the old classic washing machine. I would stay away from the TR7 series but that's just my opinion. I prefer the tried and true design of the TC5@@CelebratingAppalachia
Matt did a good job
Matt and Tipper that new bed looked so great Matt done a great job I'm so glad seeing you both working together ❤️ Shelby
Matt's version of a home-made washing machine sounds like the one my mother used when I was little. All his needs is the wringer lol. My washer and dryer are probably 20 years old and still going strong (knock on wood). No computer parts on them.
Just a thought, you could take pool noodles, split them down the center on one side and slip them down the raw edges off the tin to protect you from getting cut.They are very inexpensive from the dollar store.
Liked watching Matt build the awesome garden bed.
I love to watch Matt work. He reminds me so much of my late husband. There was nothing he couldn’t figure out how to build or fix!! ❤
We learn as we grow so now you have a good warm and sturdy home. Matt is really good as seeing how he wants things done and then does it. Y’all are going to have garden space forever. Good job Matt!
I enjoyed seeing how your raised beds turned out. They look so great. That's so funny about Katie getting Matt with the monkey in the cookies. 😂
We got a Maytag washer that was 20 years old in 1977. It lasted for 15 more years after we used it. My parents bought a later model Maytag and it lasted for ten years and the washer died. Today, they make the appliances so that they’re are disposable. The repairs are not worth it. Take care! Those raised beds look amazing!🙏❤️🇨🇦
Agree 💯 with it all! Other than a few videos, we haven't watched TV or had Cable for 12 years. We refuse to subsidize the corporations that hate us! Thank you for confirming we aren't alone!!
😉Matt that's called Appalachian do!😊
Love the beds. They are beautiful. Oh wow! We had the same problem with those no agitator washing machines. Our clothes smelled awful! Got rid of that thing ! Also when we bought the replacement machine (with an agitator)we got one without all that extra options. My husband pointed out that once we set it up we never used all those useless cycles.
Matt is as handy as pockets on a shirt. We call those torches “pear burners”. During times of drought you use them to burn the needles off prickly pear cactus to make it easier for the cows to eat.
Fascinating thank you for sharing that about the pear cactus 😊
2:44 That gadget would toast marshmallows for Smores very quickly 👍👍
It sure brings back Gardening with my husband I sure do miss him. love to hear your chicken in the background.
The burned wood looks so cool
Hey , good job. I like that y’all repurposed that metal . 👍
Beautiful! I like the idea of burning instead of chemical preservatives for the boards. We like to use recycled products also. Thank you for sharing your ideas and techniques. We really appreciate your channel and watch frequently. Bless you and your family.❤❤❤❤
I LOVE the way that bed looks! Great job Matt!!
Give me a washing machine with manual controls and no brain. Can't turn the thing off, pause only. Lid won't unlock. ......and it loves being off balance. Makes my bp go up too! 😂 i hate that washer!
I know what you mean, so frustrating!
Same here. 😊
😊 I feel the same!
I am right there with ya. And that lid lock drives me nuts too. Mine dont have the option to just run a rinse cycle. sometimes I tend to get too much soap and have to run the entire cycle. I am really grateful to have a washer, but I do miss the older ones.
@kimberlyking9947
I can run just a rinse cycle but then it doesn't want to go back to the wash cycle. I can't decide if it has dementia or narcissistic qualities. 🤣
Love it! Looks great! Great job! Have a blessed day!❤
On Matt and the washing machine, he just described the old wringer type washers from my childhood. Two rollers on top that you squeezed the water out by running each piece of clothing through individually. Then you hung them out on the clothes line. The clothes sure smelled fresh from blowing in the wind. The planter looks great and should last for years. At 68 sometimes I just want to roll off the chair instead of struggling to get up too. 😂
I'm on my 3rd washing machine, 3rd refrigerator , 3rd dishwasher and 2nd microwave since 2000 when we moved in this house. The microwave even had some parts replaced in that time. Your garden beds look great. Great way to reuse!
Matt is so handy! I hate the new washers, also.
Matt did a bang up job on that raised bed. Looks really good.
FYI the burning works best when done on all surfaces followed by a good oiling(tung oil is non toxic) I have some over 15 years old as fence posts and bed timbers
Matt is blessed with a mind to figure things out and them happen 😊❤
You can still find ringer washers.
That's funny about the monkey.
Our family had a caught fish.
It was frozen solid and passed from member to member every Christmas.
Each one had to keep it frozen till the next Christmas and figure out a clever way to pass it on.
That fish was like 80 years old.
It showed up one year for my mom in a potted Christmas cactus, just it's tail sticking out.
My Aunt found it in a new set of sheets, another in a can of coffee.
Now all 11 sisters and brothers have passed on.
So my one Aunt by marriage must have it cause she is the only one still alive.
It's funny how they'd all run it to the freezer right away for the next reciever to get when it was their turn.
Thanks for the monkey story!❤
Love that family tradition 😊
Enjoyed watching y’all Miss Tipper. Raised beds look great. Washing machines are not made like they used to be. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻😇❤️🙌🏻
Thanks for watching!
The great thing is the new beds match your house. They’re actually pretty if a raised bed can be pretty. ❤😊❤🙏
Great work Matt. Love the thinking. You looked out for and attempted to prevent possible cuts in the future. The project looks smart.
Maybe you could use some of the metal from your roof to make a metal shed for your tillers and stuff.
I love y'all's new bed it's beautiful it actually goes with the house since burning the wood.i bet if you had to pay for a box like that it would be about 1000 dollars.great job Matt.
I love the metal with that wood in the garden. It looks great!
No, to get Matt up, you have to use a come-along, hooked onto a Sky-Hook. That’ll lift him! 🤣
Brilliant! Looks great. Happy gardening! Should last for years.
Watching you all makes me want to start gardening. But it's to wet and muddy here. I'm a fall risk, so I have to wait till it's dry. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I love watching you all.
No excuses Matt you have it on video. LOL
I'm with you about the washer-simple is better, and being able to put the amount of water you want. The beds are smart! Great job.
Matt you are the Bomb for Real!
WOW!! That bed looks AMAZING!!! 👍💪🤗🥰
Wow! Beautiful beds! What a concept! Sophisticated!! Really matches your house!
Olive is such a cutie ❤
