Fire safety: Get some (4 to 6) galvanized pails, paint them red, and fill them up 2/3 with sand. They won't evaporate and will always be ready to douse a small fire. The water is good, but these add another safety layer. Take care.
Great idea !
Hi Diana and Eric! That was the sweetest video I've ever seen. You two really are meant for each other. Both of your faces are full of happiness and sunshine. So much fun to watch you two spending time together. Two peas in the same pod. i Love the improvements you guys are making. You are transforming TatorLand into a Love filled Home. God bless your family of Six. Your friend, Louise
So sweet , thank you ❤
I hear if you spray water directly on plants while it's hot and sunny out burns them.
Best time to water plants in the summer is dusk to full dark.
I've heard that's a myth too. Otherwise day time rain would constantly ruin most outdoor plants and grass.
@@fringestream990how? if it’s raining there are clouds, right?
Yeah, it does. Their poor plants already looked a bit distressed. That is why soaker hoses for early morning watering is best. It supports the plants against the long hours of daily heat (likewise.) Watering at dusk and night can promote certain types of disease and fungus.
@@fringestream990 Think about it a minute....What else, other than rain, do you get when it rains....Clouds...That block the sun for the most part. We are experiencing one of the worst draughts w/100+ degree temperatures in many years here in South Carolina....So, us farmers and gardeners wait for dusk or full dark to water our plants/crops to avoid wasting water that will basically evaporate before it soaks into the ground and "steams" our plants/crops. Many bigger farmers utilize rotating "water cannons" that are on timers to keep cash crops from dying in the blazing heat. As I type, we are getting a light rain, the first in something like three weeks, despite an almost 85-degree temperature which is also the coolest it has been in three or four weeks. Once the rain, such as it is, stops things will get hot and steamy once again. Already this growing season, thanks to a lack of rain, those crops that many farmers depend on to survive (financially) are coming on undersized and not as desirable on the produce market. If you want to water your plants in the daytime, when it is the hottest, that is entirely your business. I hope the best for whatever you are trying to grow/keep alive.
Eric, I'm glad you passed on the first feed bunk ring. If it was galvanized steel, when heated gives off zinc oxide which is toxic. The ring you purchased was much better!
Excellent point !
I was shaking my head no when he was looking at them.
Repaint that firepit once a year with tremclad black to protect the firepit from rusting and deteriorating prematuraly. Do this before rainy season for best results.
Hey thanks for tip
Loved when she went throw to the ground move 😂😂😂❤
Eric, been watching for years but rarely post. Good to see you found someone that makes you happy. Way to go bro!!!
Eric is much nicer in the videos when he has a female companion.
Yeah he is he was boring back then
What happened to the rain guards on the truck
Videos must be backwards?
@@paulrydberg idk the tailgate was painted
Great choice for the fire pit and the discounted carpet 👍👍😊
Diana is a great addition to the channel. She looks like she's so much fun.❤
Eric, your videos have just become more interesting!!! 👍
Diana is fun she adds to your channel
Get you some straw at tractor supply to put in your garden beds. It will shade your soil, add organic material as it breaks down improving water retention and will keep water from evaporating away so fast. Water at sundown so the plants can soak it up throughout the night
Great content lately, you seem content and it shows. Good for you bro.
Hey I am your biggest fan! Dianna is a keeper!
Great segue with the music and campfire at the end! End to a great day. Glad y'all are enjoying summer
Can't beat having a solid truck
Awesome to see you so happy! We like the new Eric.
The paint touch-up on Frosty looks good!
Your place is looking great. I like your wide brim hat.😊
Beautiful couple
Hey Diana and Eric yall look so happy....I love the firepit..the smiles on yalls face makes me so happy...Eric you needed her she is a hard worker and you have someone to do things with now..❤😊
Eric, something you might want to think about that I've found really handy on my truck is a rubber mat for the bed. It keeps stuff from sliding around and if you put your bike in it if gives your bike tires something to grip to really, really well. Just a thought but I'm on my 16th year with one and it's been great so far. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Hey guys and happy Friday! I don’t know how old the timing is on when you made this video but I just used a garden tub and cut the bottom out. It’s one of those that are a little bigger than a bushel basket. Galvanized steel with handles on both sides and works great as a fire pit. Check them out at any, hardware, big box or garden store or store that has plants and stuff. actually, I did not cut the bottom out of mine and just let it corrode out over several years.
I thought the lion's den was going to be something you built at taterland for the kitties to all play in, HAHAHAHA
The "Lion's Den" near me is an Adult book store so I had a completely different though going into this video. lol
What a fun video and Diana is such a compliment to your life it's so good to see you happy. I can see the two of you making quite a unique homestead, the cozier the better. Always look forward to your videos.❤
The firepit works GREAT, and what a labor saver.
Diana looks great, nice to see happiness for two.
Good personality fit for you two. I really like that you two are realistic body sizes and confident to not hide from the camera. Enjoy your time together.
If you drink that water, you might want to reconsider the hoses you're using..
Diana's such a pretty lady, and she looked great in that black dress! You guys really are cute together, and I'm hoping for the best in your relationship.
I have been watching your videos for many years now, always enjoyed every one of them in your good times and bad times, but I am glad to see this one because you appear happy and sharing experiences with someone is always better. Its amazing how simple your videos are just really about everyday life can be so entertaining, so thankyou for being transparent about yourself, it must feel weird to have the whole world watching your life go by but in all its a beautiful way to document ones life and in many ways it connects us as humankind. Thanks for just being you.
wonder if you can use "grey Water" to water the plants?
no. there are environmentally friendly soaps and such but the other stuff, what you are washing out of the dishes/clothes, is not really good for plants. and it stinks almost as bad as black water.
Sounds like you need to get another 500 gallon tank or trade in/sell yours and get a 1000 gallon one. $75 delivered seems like a smart/good deal
PS- miss Opie and Tara give them some love from us 😻🐾
Eric never seen you happier. Looks good on you. Pretty sure you got a keeper.
You guys are cute. I’m happy you found someone to love and share your life with🥰
Hopefully, the metal is treated and / or stainless. Fire+water+metal=oxidation (rust). Make sure to give it a coat of heat-resistant spray paint to keep a barrier between the metal and the environment when you see any spots starting. 👍
Love that fire pit!!! You and Diana have a genuine happy face all the time now. You BOTH deserve to be this happy??
Great to see y'all working together, Diana seems cool! Love the new truck and the fire pit looks like Texas to me, I live in Texas! Great video❤
Love this video on Sat morning ! Perfect. Thanks for making more than 1 video a week, is that your family has grown🎉
Love the couple stuff. Hope it’s long lasting.
Eric I’m very happy you both found each other you compliment each other very well. Keep up the great videos buddy
I agree
Couldn't agree more! She is perfect for you!!
Thanks for another great video.Definitely heart warming seeing the love and romance develop, well done.
Is Opie and Tara still with you? Have not seen them lately.
They have been released into the wild. With a steady diet of mice and rattlesnakes.... Just kidding
Eric,
You seem so happy right now! Thats awaome brother! Another great video !😊
Rock garden looks great. Love the fire ring. You sure look happy. The best I’ve seen you in awhile.
Eric been watching since you were a student in college. I’m so glad that you and Diana have found each other. I think she is a beautiful person inside and out. Please take care and cherish each other and those feline babies. Jax would totally approve!! Lots of hugs from cat mom in southern Virginia.
Man I haven't seen you this happy in a long time you deserve it man
Love ,Love, Love this video. Never seen the spot on the lens. Love seeing y'all together. Love seeing the two of you so happy.
😊 plastic green fence, the groundhog went through it like it was nothing it breaks at the slightest pool don't waste your time on the if you're wanting to actually keep passed out. It has to be some sort of metal.
pest or passed?
Why would you want a heated pool in Arizona in the summer?I would be pouring bags of ice in that sucker😊.I can't handle more heat in the heat.Bellyrubs and chin scratches and Temptations treats all around and don't forget Diana's kittys.
I'M THE SAME WAY..NO HEATED POOL FOR ME....I'M HOT ENOUGH TO HEAT THE POOL. LOOKING GOOD GUYS....LUCKY TO HAVE ALL THAT...ENJOY.
The fire pit is so cute, maybe place some bricks under it to keep the heat off the ground for safety .
That kid passed out on dad's shoulder was cute as pie!!!! All that loud music can't stop the sandman!😂😂
My wife and I raised chickens for many years. We always had to have a friend or neighbor collect eggs, feed and water them. When we started RVing, we had to get rid of them. They were a lot of fun though
I think Diana is great. The best to both of you 😊 Perfect choice for the fire pit! Love, love, love!
That was an awesome video! I love Diana. She is fun, positive, happy and beautiful. The smile she puts on your face is great to see. Great content as always! ❤ P. S. I love the fire pit!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hey Eric. Put some brick in the bottom of the fire pit to prevent the fire from burning thru the metal..
I wish you and Dianna and all the kitties the best! You both seem to be the perfect match. ❤
Love Diana she seems like such a great person you guys make a great couple happy for you Eric
You and Diana complement each other so well, never give up on finding love…I wish you all the best😍
You guys look really Happy. Best of luck with everything. Happy Trails 😊.
It's a nice change seeing Dianna in your videos. Thanks for sharing. Love yah Nancy
Ahh ya'll are so cute & your demeanor seems so happy now, Eric. Nice to have a partner to share things with.
Question!..... What ever happened to the merch you used to have. I bought shirts from you before. I would love a shirt with your opening scene in front of the camper holding the kitties 😸 with a faint Jax in the background.
Maybe Diana holding her kitties 😸 💕 on it too
Awesome 👌 shirt 👕 idea 💡 Please think about bringing the merchandise back
I'm so happy that you and your lady are so happy ❤❤❤
Save your Pennie’s for a solo stove, you won’t regret it! We love ours no chasing the smoke!
Eric, been watching you for years. Out of all the women that have appeared on your channel, you have NEVER looked more happy than with Diana. Congrats!!!! 😁😁😁
Hay, Eric you need a solar motorized gate opener so, you don't have to get out of your truck. And in joy your air conditioner.
We love seeing Diana in your videos! She makes you happy, we can tell! She's a cutie!!
I'm loving this new life of yours Eric! 👍
Food looking so good, have a great day.
I bought that same fire pit from TS and wouldn't recommend it. It has air holes under the angle iron inside and draws air like a torch and after about 10 fires burned up the cheap thin angle iron.
Do what makes you happy
Speaking of buffalo... what did the Daddy buffalo say to his son when he left??? Bison.
Eric I glad to see you so happy she is a keeper for sure you guys are made for each other
Nice video, love all the updates. Be Happy!
That video got me teary eyed. They look so happy together. ❤️💙💜
........................... there was a little thingy on your camera lends ..... You're welcome ..................... haaahaaha !!!!!!!!!! Love ya guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the fire pit.
Eric, you look very happy...all the best to you and yours.
We have the same exact gnomes!!! 😂😂❤❤
Just so you guys know..... You are living me and my Cats life...
Having someone to share things with makes it a whole lot better. Happy for you both!
At the temp you have use the dryer with our propane. It draws hot air away
Love the fire pit, & seeing you so happy with big smiles.
I like her she seems to be a keeper
Thanks for showing us the price of the green grass, I was about to go to Home Depot & Lowe's to check the prices, now I don't need too 😂. I love your set up & when are you putting a ring on Diane's finger? you guys are perfect for each other ❤❤
If you look at the lions den part you'll see she has one on her left hand ring finger. Did Eric give it to her? I dunno, but most women who wear rings leave that one without......unless.....
Here’s an idea for a fire pit we’ve used before. At a junk yard, etc., try and find a tractor wheel, metal that is. Makes a great fire pit. Have fun! BTW, love your new hat! It’s so you Eric!
Never seen you so happy, Eric. Keep that lady!
❤Eric iam so excited you are homesteading with someone you enjoy being with. There's nothing better then having someone that works together with you .
Have you done a video on your movie screen? We are camping at our first nascar race in Sept and I really want one easy to put up and take down. We’ve been to many races but this our first camping at Bristol…
Been watching your videos since 2016, it's been great.
These latest video's have been the best ever!
I love watching all the projects at taterland. It's so cool to see you and Diana building such a cool life and property together. Keep up the good work!
You two are a hoot . I dig it .
You and Diana seem happy congrats have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Mass.
Wait! Did I see a ring on her finger?!
Yep looks like a black stone & couple small diamonds...hmmmm most women leave that finger naked.....unless......
You need a plastic 10' stock tank Pool Next,
Ciao, you need a wheelbarrow and a 2 wheel cart
!
Hungry buffalo seems like they want to go out of business, also you seem happier and your girl friend seems to be a smart girl with the drilling of the wholes around the fire ring for the air.
Is She really always so Happy and Friendly Helpful and on top of that , Not hard to look at ? You better treat her like GOLD !
Eric ♥♥♥♥♥🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 Tara and Opie ♥♥♥♥♥, treats and tummy rubs.
There is a farm guy I saw on YT that uses a very small square mesh type fencing for his 5 acre property fence, he most likely got it at a farm supply store. He is very rual..and that's what he uses for his animals and boundary fences. He put stakes in and used some kind of hook to attach.
