This from a 72 year old woman, you are doing what I wanted to do but no longer can. So happy for you
Wood directly on the ground? An open invitation to both rot and termites. We love you guys!
For real. Get that foundation up at least a foot off the ground for airflow to reduce humidity under it and separate it from the wet ground. Concrete blocks should do the trick.
Matt, keep listening to Kristin. She beautifully balances out your impulsive nature. A good team.
The love and respect between the two of you as well as living in harmony and love with your animals is simply beautiful!
That is my feeling exactly also… They do my heart good
You should have put a better foundation down and on cement blocks. With all the rain and humidity, your fountain is going to go bad quickly.
And some support under the center of the floor. With your soft ground and when you put some weight in there it will sink a little especially when it rains. Cement blocks not jungle rot. I admire your energy !
Dude I am worried for them! Rain has been really crazy in PR... PR real rainy season started in MAY! Many rivers have really overflowed and in all my life I have not seen some towns underwater like this time ... Even important highways have been affected... I just hope everything is ok, when they return from Honeymoon vacation.... I was really worried when they move the camper to lower ground! Climate change is real... and it's showing everywhere...
I think your candid relationship is the best part of the channel. I think letting people see that team work is just not about building things it’s growing as a couple.
I love how you said “I haven’t cussed him out” I have been married for almost 20 years and my wife would agree that, if no swear words are said it’s a successful group project.
I love all the animals running around :)
I agree, yet there are so many obligations and worries. I have a monster Ram, he is my buddy, following me everywhere.
This is the best show on TH-cam. I try to make time to see it every week Sunday here.
matts not afraid to try anything you are a lucky girl to have this man he is handyer than he lets on . humble matt
My favorite accessory in your situation is a 40ft sea container.
They are brilliant for storing everything you want to keep safe and locked up.
Also, very watertight.
I would recycle your old building.
Get a crusher and turn it into gravel for your driveway.
Because i'm sure a crusher is easily accessible in a 3rd world country.
@@pfwg5840 Chinese crusher start at $1500 and they work.
Good idea on the storage container - they have come way down in price, $2500 or so in the states. That shed was every bit of $600 I bet. One hurricane and it could go sailing away.
@@pfwg5840Puerto Rico isn't 3rd world. It's a territory of the US that we have actively neglected.
Don’t think they would be able to get container transported up to their place. They’ve had a hard time just bringing RV up there. If they can, they could build the house from them. Matt would rock the welding too.
Kristen has such a good eye for the way things look . Where did she go wrong looking at you? LOL. No, It is a time saver to get your tools organized. And she is the luckiest girl to have a do it yourself guy like you Mat. Dam how frustrating was that bobcat! So much potential and such a let down. favorite shed accessories, ceiling hooks and racks, electricity and light.
I like the shed I’m a shed builder but that a big Rubbermaid bowl is not rated for the winds you get so I’d think of straps to hold it downs we use hurricane cane straps in our southernmost states and we make solid wood ones. Ratchet straps to piers may help and work as well. Great job guys I have followed you from the get go of the DD and always wonder how bear is? You two are great can’t wait for the wedding and see you through the good times ahead. Stay cool stay loving stay safe
Kristen your editing skills are amazing, top notch. I sure like your new living area, more privacy and very beautiful.
Great music!
Just read some of the comments. Wow. For our money, You guys work great together. And I'm glad Kristin has a thick skin, though she shouldnt have to. We love you both!
Great job guys ! Just fyi, termites LOVE plywood so unless it is marine plywood, I would be spraying for them before they eat the guts out of each sheet. It will happen.
That isso funny how the goats are claiming the house. You guys are totally an awesome couple
Kristen, I could tell you were just full of joy in today's episode! You're happiness and joy is contagious. I just can't stop smiling now. 😁 I hope someday to find a wife who compliments me like you compliment and synergize with Matt. I am so looking forward to following you and Matt as you continue your life journey. All the best to both of you!
In the future painting the subfloors all subfloors is a must
You'll like the new plastic shed. Replaced my old rotted-out wooden shed with a similar one about 3 years ago and it's been great. No more water leaks and hardly any insects. I added a cheap solar powered interior light and movable wire shelving. They really are a cost effective, relatively easy way to go.
Put some rock under that shed and add concrete blocks all the way around to get it level and keep it stable.
And perhaps anchor it so it doesn't get blown away. Crossing cables over the top and anchored into ground is common.
I love when the rooster starts singing lol
You two were my favorite sailors and now you're my favorite homesteaders. Only question I have is will there be a housewarming/meet and greet campout one day? I'd sure love an invite. Bless you both.
Hello, you loving couple.
And all of your animal friends. No technical support, but love the way. Everything is coming together with you too. I'm a felihello watching all your cats walking and wandering around, Especially that little snow white one. It likes to get in on the act. Thanks so much And look forward to your next.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great job! Keep those chicks safe. My neighbor lost 2 chickens to a hawk in his backyard. They had to install a large covered dog kennel to house the coop & chickens in. No more free range. You guys are so good to your animals💖
They love you and it shows. ☺️
Putting up a Peg Board is super useful for organizing. You can move hooks around and hang most of your bigger tools as well as all kinds of things like hoses, wire, and small peg board shelves for little things.
You two are awesome. Kristen's bubbly enthusiasm and Matt's dogged determination makes you unstoppable!
Flower boxes are available for that shed and a bench ,have fun
I loved this episode! I watched it twice. The second time I did it so I can read all the wonderful comments 👍🏽🥰💯 all your pets look so happy 🥰✨💫⚡️❤️🌴🙏🏽
Hi folks - You two make such an amazing team. Your Love for each each, nature, wildlife and domesticated animals shine through your eyes and your smiles like rays of Light. I am looking forward to see what comes next. Namaste
8:23 Wow! What a beautiful background for story time with Matt. 🥰
Super clean & neat. Very nice.
Your permanent place for the trailer needs to be cement on top of the rock after the rock is seriously packed down, preferably by some sort of steam roller. Let the wrecker come down the road to get the bobcat as is and don't pay them a dime. They owe you big time for all the repairs, parts and labor. Any court would agree with you. I was hoping you'd leave an overhang on the roof of the new chicken coop. In the rain forest everything benefits from an overhang.
Matt and Kristin, thank you for sharing your homestead build, and all the funny quirks 0f living in rain forest.
It would probably be a good idea, since you have a hill leading right to where you're setting up, to dig a trench around the camper, pad, storage, etc. and throw down some rock and perforated drain leading to the drop-off. When the rainy season comes that looks like a good place for a lot of water to accumulate. Having a dozer push some dirt up to elevate a pad would be a good idea as well.
Yes!
Goats, chickens and cats-you guys are surely some kind of special! I love it.
Kristen does such a good job with the music on these videos!
Rented equipment no matter where you rent are notorious for being beat and always break down. I learned 2 things, never rent if ever possible, if you know you need it try and buy no matter what. Almost forgot, never lend it because guaranteed it will come back broke. These apply to all tools and equipment, I am s as always glad to have it when needed
Good advice because it’s true
Love Ya'll, and greetings from Gulf Shores. Matt, forecasters are predicting a very active storm season this year. As you plan.....assume you are going to be getting a lot of rain this summer!!! Given your location, managing the rainfall on your property should be #1 on the list of considerations. Plan your drainage.... I know you understand after dealing with drainage issues on the boat! Be safe and enjoy the ride!!!
I don't want to be a downer but the bugs are going to eat the base you put down under that shed. I live in the jungle in Costa Rica and I would think the bugs are the same. you should have soaked the wood in diesel or a few coats of varathane.
I love watching you both. I dream of spending my days working with Mr. Buck Wild. 💪 😂 Thank you for keeping it real.
Salutations from Allentown Pennsylvania hey guys I have a suggestion you can use the debris from your old cement house fill in your new house foundation that way it will be repurposed completely cleaning your entrance
Oy, where to start. The video makes it clear it is a big mistake to leave out cross-supports under the plywood at 16". Also, lack of support under the entire structure, there should be legs down to earth at least every 16". Lastly. if the wind blows there (hint) some sort of tie-down to the ground is necessary. All is not lost though. Love seeing the progress.
I wonder about termites.
Totally agree. Here in the US Virgin Islands we call those sheds "hurricane food".
Good morning landlubbers and ranch hand Bear and ranch hand crew 😊
L.E.D lights. one or two solar panels on pole will increase the usefulness of this build 100 fold. I had to get perits and run under lines to power ours but it is well worth it to have lights. Great job. Great Video.
Yes, getting some form of electricity to the solar panels and using LED lights is a must for any shed or workspace especially if you’re trying to charge up tools
Nice to see you got the proper gravel for the driveway! Top it with the stuff they brought you on the second delivery, the stuff with the fines/dust in it. That's what will lock it all together. Make sure the wettest areas have at least 8" of the big gravel, and drive on that a couple weeks, before topping it. Will probably have to add more before topping.
Standing in front of the fence looks like a green screen image, great job, beautiful!
Be sure to anchor your shed with good anchor rods (they look like cork screws) into the ground. Great job!
I would paint the interior white to give better visibility inside. Same for the outer surface of the roof so it absorbs less heat from the sun.
That's a good looking shed, the animals are adorable, and happy for every step forward, even the 2 steps back, because look where you live, it's beautiful.💖
Clear plastic bins with lids are one of my "go-to" for organizing on shelves. Also there is a wall-mount thing that holds tons of screws and other little bits-and-bobs.
Zip Lock makes some nice clear, sealed, clasp-closed plastic bins. I use them in my garage for storing extra food. Sealed so no bug entrance.
what a powerhouse of a man !!!! fighter and a lover. Nice couple!!!
I know you have plenty of projects but here's one we have : A carport structure with a roof and open sides used for building things in the shade & breeze . Good for storing materials that don't fit in the storage shed . You're making great progress on your ranch !
He could finish the demo of the old house and use the existing tile floor for a carport or patio.
My favorite shed accessory is a kegerator!
How about a huge deck surrounding the Trailer where you are just a foot or so above the ground but you can have patio furniture (outside type), fire pit, some free standing fans, cook outside, ......... where you can hang out off the jungle floor.
Love how all the animals wanted to get in before you had finished the job. As always great work ethic by you both well done. Looking good well done.❤❤
Nice to see your steady progress working together.
Hang in there. Love you and the animals. Shed is awesome. I can relate to your relationship. Jack and I of 56+ years of marriage are opposite personalities. We are 83 yo and healthy no regrets.. you will have a long, life together.
You two make my day. Thank you both!
Domingo gbu🎉.
It’s not a shed till you have a beer fridge a couch and a TV.
I love how your animals hang out close to you. It’s almost like a bunch of children who love their parents. So cute to watch. Too bad the Bobcat wasn’t reliable enough, they really are an indispensable tool for the farm. I have a Case 1845C Uniloader with a cadre of attachments that needs a new home, too bad I love that machine too much to advertise it for sale!
Build a workbench for the shed. Add power and a light(s).
I bought a larger version of the shed and it’s been amazing. Built my own shelves out of 2x4’s and particle board for width and strength …. Love watching your adventures!
When life gets hectic virtually visiting the paradise you two are creating makes for a good get-away. So, thank you Team MatKrist!! Good golly y'all get a lot done between videos.
great watch as usual guys !!!! the best complement I have is ,, " Damn 7 more days untill the next chapter " Be safe
You 2 work beautiful together 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾❤️👍👍🥃🍷🥃🍷⛵️⛵️⛵️🏠🏡❤️🌻🌻🌻
Guy's I built my shed same as you guy's peg board for the walls and and big rubber coated hooks to hang some of the bigger tools on the walls,like the weed wacker and things.😊
You can free up floorspace that way 😊
“Whatever you want. This is your build.” My, how Kristen’s attitudes are changing. I cannot imagine her ever saying that about the boat.
Followed a few minutes later by “I love pointing what to do and my laborer does it.” She’s back!!!
My Kind of People ❤
Use what’s left from the house to build your trailer pad, just trough the busted up stuff down as backfill. Little extra labor but saves a buck. Recycling is good
Love that she'd. Happy Sunday my Friend's 😊😊😊
that old building looks pretty bad next to your nice new fence.. i think it was a great decision to remove it.. i can picture a driveway up there for guest vehicles who maybe can't make it down the road or back up.. some cool lights on the block wall and couple of security cameras with a sign might make it look real pro.. oh and an intercom with electric gate lock
I think termites are in all warm climates. You need to have you cinder blocks treated before you construct floors. And you may end up with termite dens in your new perimeter walls.
Termites are not in all climates
@@colourful64able Puerto Rico is loaded with termites, everywhere. As is the entire Caribbean.
Termites are everywhere.....even in the northeast, especially in PR ! When you build you need to take measures to prevent infestation... 1. treat soil and 2. treat building material within 8" of ground. I use BoraCare for wood and concrete and treat soil under and perimeter with Syngenta.
Why do people say termites are everywhere? Are you saying termites are all over the world. Because im telling ya where i live zero termites..
@@colourful64able What does your location have to do with anything here? PR has tons of termites. They're in PR. Where you live doesn't have any bearing on anything.
It's coming together. For my shop I use see through plastic tubs to keep like products together. Electrical, Plumbing, tools. They can be stacked and pulled out without mess other things. Cheers
Love the episode. Sucks when your tools break and you lose that much time. Nice shed. Make sure to have a small work bench with a vice. A work shelf, even. Seeing the results of your own labor is a special feeling and Kirsten has got those feels, it looks like.
Yes yes yes, great animal content! THANK YOU. You guys are killing it with progress. Are you going to video the wedding? And why is David up top? We didn't understand. Something about babies? Go go go guys!
If you were renting the Bobcat why are you having to repair it? That is not your responsibility that is theirs.
By the way the chickens prefer roosting bars so they can get on them to sleep at night otherwise they're squatting in their own feces. That would mean you would have to build a bigger home for them. When you make a roof the top needs to extend over the sides front and back so water doesn't run down into the house.
I noticed on your outbuilding that you built that you were not using blocks to get it off the ground but were using strips of wood. You want to get it off the ground with concrete blocks and cut you some shims out of treated lumber that you can use to level the building. I noticed the front 4X was sagging every time you stepped on it so you need to put a block in the center as well and maybe at the back. I guess you were using a couple of different ones that you pieced together which you have to support with blocking like you do the ends.
Mat, Make sure you get some Hurricane straps over your shed.👏👍
You guys are doing awesome on the new land.
The sun was in my eyes is allways a good go to
Hey ! I enjoy seeing your channel It funny and different . You both should think about putting out videos 2x a week . Matt keep 💪 brother....
I'd watch twice a week for sure!
Yup
everything you guys have done looks amazing/ expecially the fence and the stone. you guys are the most inspiring couple on youtube thanx for making my sunday a little better
U need to start using PT wood. Also plywood will hold up better than OSB. Keep up the great job!
Yup the newer glues for p.t. and Osb are good wood preservatives also I know you properly paint alot of stuff to protect it
BUT painting the cut ends and backsides with zinzer or bullseye primer also a normal window grade caulk is good for protecting against wet climes again cant stress enough the importance of painting and or caulking end cuts is huge
When you get to siding hardie board (cement board) ship lap or bat n board style are great options and cheap and easy to put up and almost literally fireproof
Love yer quality of work you will do great building your house a clue is to hire a bust up journeyman carpenter cheap cause hes bust up hes not for knowledge ie... shortcuts that dont bite back, techniques, interesting and applicable material the list goes on God bless you and your castle and fiefdom
She’d looks great! That bobcat would of caused me to lose it🫣 you handled it well!
You need a skid loader with rubber tracks instead of tires. Known as a multi terrain loader (MTL). Awesome machines for what you’re doing. I have three of them. If you can find a CAT or Kubota machine, they’re better than Bobcat.
You could use some of the extra cinder blocks that you have as footing for the shed to get it up off the ground. Make sure to put a couple in the center under it so it does not start to sag in the middle also.
Love being on this journey with you two 💕
You guys are true homesteaders. Great work. Way to hang in there.
Shady Bobcat Omg ❤ Beautiful Shed ❤
more cooly cameos with voice overs😂 i remember when cooly fell overboard !! drama
I love that you two fuss, you show that you are human. These perfect youtubers get on my nerves.
You guys had me in stiches with your banter. Thanks for the enjoyable time. Many couples could not handle these tasks, but you are making light work of it.
Looking good guys! My favorite shed is an old shipping container...lol Maybe use some of that block from the old building to level the shed. More stable and keep water from wicking up to the sub floor. Cannot WAIT to see you run that place with Hydro-Electric. You're river looks to have plenty of flow to gett'r done. Especially when it rains! 🤙💪
I was thinking the same thing about Hydro power with that river running next to the property. That would be a great source of free electricity.
Although I feel bad for your tractor your fence and gravel in the front looks SOOOOOOOO GOOD!
Is your trailer at risk of flooding in its new location, “down there”. Flooding is a serious risk in PR. Don’t ask me how I know. Sometimes you can go 5+ years before a deluge visits your property. Ask all your neighbors about your property’s flooding history. You are making big investments now. You need a solid foundation.
She's a goner...
Lovin your channel. You guys have a great relationship. Have fun and treat each others with respect ...shared from 50 years of a good marriage!
Need a bar for them to sit on and where are the boxes going. You can put chicken wire on top to protect them from preditors.
Good morning my peeps. I’m in at number 75.
Land is looking good. Keep up the good work together.🫂🫂
Matt , you got a long way to go , I was married 42 years of my life , no more will I do that , I sail now !
You're ex wife is thankful I'm sure
