Oh my goodness. Another nail biting video! Great job you two. Glad you made it safely. 🙂🥰😘❤

Melodie, I love your Christmas gift from Ryan!! 🤣🤓🤩 So practical!! Just what you wanted aye?? 🤣 My hubby was of the same practical mindset: so I received a hedge trimmer for Valentines Day, birthday, a weed whacker for my birthday and a Shark vacuum for Christmas! I’m a Master Gardner so of course I loved being out doors, barefoot and grubby. For Easter when kids were little, once trimmed & trained a shrub into the shape of a rabbit, ears & big bow for his neck. I don’t think he ever noticed! 🥸😅

🤦🏼‍♀️That was stressful 🤦🏼‍♀️

Maybe you’ll need to get an air boat for the island!

There are no words to express how much I enjoyed this podcast! Not only do your videos have such entertaining content, your live narratives with such a wonderful group of followers just doesn't seem to last long enough because they are always so lively. You have no idea how much y'all Bless Rebecca and me by just being genuinely yourselves. I wish KZbin had more channels like yours!

Merry Christmas you too

I'm glad you're doing well. Merry Christmas.

it´s hard to follow your timeline - where are you right now? Spring 2024? Greetings from Austria.

Wondering what that building is in the background at 11.01 minutes into the video?

Cool！！like it!!

Try as i might,i just don't understand it......

Only when I saw the wooden box from the side loaded on the trailer did I think woooow what a big outdoor jacuzzi. Then I saw how narrow the box was and guessed a saw mill. Then I hoped for a big outdoor kitchen where I can stand all day and taste your cakes.

Ryan have you got and tubing a bit bigger than the poles on the shades and cut sleeves to strengthen them and screw them in place or clamp them?

What a beautiful sound your Loon makes Melodi! ❤ I need to know more about your dandelion jelly. Is it good?

You guys did awesome for husband and wife team believe me I know my wife and I both run picker trucks and Skidsteer business a good spotter is key things look way different in the operator seat and camera don’t do any justice at all for deception of how steep it is thumbs up you guys came along way running your equipment it’s not as easy as everyone thinks

That’s going to be a nice setup y’all have there. Nice work

You two need a "walkie-talkie" set so you can hear each other instead of shouting and not being able to converse easily

Wow! It's so vast and different from UK 🇬🇧 and it's fascinating to see thank you. Please take care Ryan. You work so hard x❤

Great video :) It's hot Ryan lol, Little Pepper gets a workout but sure saves your back 👍, That will be quite a system :) Have a great weekend !

When ever n where ever you build a dock system you may consider where your high tide line is in the spring and low point in the fall as to where to put it, but also in the fall when it's low to take pepper and dredge out a canal for the barge that way you can keep a some solar aerators around the barge for the winter

Merry Merry Christmas, Ryan & Melodi❤🙏

My dad promised to build my sister and I a cubby for Christmas in 1970, I was 5 and my sister was 7. Our home land, 1acre, was shaped like a valley in the middle. Woke Christmas morning to water lapping the floor boards. Rained all day. At 3 pm dad put us in the dinghy we had,floated us across the water and built the cubby house in the rain ☺️❤️ we had a wonderful dad. Miss him greatly. I hope you had a great Christmas

We are just gonna watch you guys, I wait all week for this!

Another great show, our favorite one on youtube! What happened to the box your tracker came in?

❤❤❤❤

42 Celsius today

My dads birthday was boxing day

Hi ❤

I'm going to get you to wrap all my gifts from now on Ryan!! 📦😂🤣😂

Merry Christmas!

Thank God you two are ok.

Oh my goodness, I can’t wait for next Thursday. Happy building.

Pepper is quite the trooper. Nice sharing.

Great work you two. Cant wait to see the final installation and operation.

I love German Mustard on a hotdogs, or ham sandwich, I hear you on that Not wanting to be wasteful, It is a good quality, waste not want not. Something instill in us, by our parents, mine were Depression Era Parents, the original recyclers

Damn I missed the Podcast, My Niece n her family went away for Christmas and I helped take care of all their animals, cats, dog, chickens, ducks, goats, and a couple calves, I missed your podcast

I would have put up a net over the berries. I had a patch of thornless blackberries I planted in my backyard. The birds would devour them and I would barely get a handful of berries from the patch. After I put up the net I was able to make a couple cobblers the next year. Sadly a little sparrow’s foot got stuck in the net and it died. So 1/4 to 1/2 inch wire mesh would be a better option to prevent a bird getting stuck.

I have an idea, why don’t you paint guides on the barge edging both the tracks of Pepper ( of course when doing so she would need to be perfectly centered or at least outer track measurements centered to ramps) to use as a guide when you can’t see the ramps to make sure she is centered on the ramps. You could then when unloading, just line up one side of her tracks knowing you are will also be perfectly centered on the ramps also. I still can’t figure out why you just didn’t back up the barge and just come in straight rather than that angle before grounding it in the first place ( was pretty obvious that the ramps wouldn’t set down evenly on a hill)😮 Need to think & plan better/smarter & have less issues doing things. If they could build the pyramids with no machinery, must’ve planned ahead you know work smarter, not harder.

Having been an equipment operator most of my life and having others work for me,, I can more than appreciate Ryan's skill and dexterity with such a powerful machine. He makes it look so easy for those who aren't familiar such machines. However, I had to laugh when he objected to eating a burnt hot dog because "They aren't good for you", as if an unburned frankfurter is. LOL

I don’t understand when didn’t just adjust the angle while pulling up to it in the first place.

😂 Yep it's a super cool thing to have!

Big load on Pepper that's for sure. Great job getting that on and off 👍

Whew! I hold my breath nealy your whole video lately. Even roasting hotdogs was dangerous Ryan, i need you to dial back that physical emotional drama for me just a tad😂😂😂😂

I could listen to the water allllll day 💕I’m close to the ocean (down the road) but determined to be ON the ocean w/ a beach backyard! Isn’t that the most peaceful & relaxing feeling ! It looks so beautiful & really coming along ! That pepper really is a good investment ! Can’t wait to see how amazing this new year is going to be 🎉💕🙏🏻✨

🎄 🎁 Merry Christmas to you too. 🎁 🎄 🎉

🎄So glad to see you here. I hope you both had a wonderful Christmas. I enjoy your channel so much and it touches my heart to watch y’all work together and encourage each other, etc. I almost feel like I know you. I definitely admire and respect you. You are two amazing people that God in His awesomeness put together. My little family kept it low this year. My niece was born on my Mama’s birthday, Dec 22nd. Jeffery, my brother, had to work 24th and 25th 12 hour shifts so it was just easier all the way around to combine the birthday and Christmas. We went to a steak house called The Chop House. Lauren’s boyfriend was with us and I hadn’t met him. All the rest of my family adore him and I found out how precious and good to Lauren he is. She is due one to be good to her. We went to Jeffery’s house for gifts. I just gave gift cards and painted everyone a Christmas card. I enjoyed it just being with my family. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I was home. I napped, painted, and watched videos. Thought a lot about why we celebrate Christmas. I’m looking forward to your live tomorrow night to hear how you two spent Christmas. 🎄 I’ve had many gifts wrapped just like Ryan’s! 😂 I love to wrap gifts though. I need to hush up. Take care and know how so many of us love and appreciate all the work you put in to videoing your adventure. See you tomorrow night. 🙏🏻🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻
