So glad to come by and see you guys. I really don't know how you get any work done with your subscribers in your shop all the time. While we visited two other sets of fans came by....crazy for a small town. It shows how much people from around the country appreciate good people and good families.

Unfortunately, we made the mistake of stopping by on a Saturday afternoon - cause that was when we were in town. Saw that the march store was closed and didn't want too bother Paul in the shop, so we left and will stop back by then next time that we are in the area. But, we did see Paul and stopped at Archies for lunch.

Hunter is pretty darn funny...he comes up with some pretty good comments and hilarious questions for Paul and Sean and he delivers them in a fairly deadpan, low-key way most of the time, which makes them even funnier.

[@kimetherington2252]

Grandma Lolly's famous words, "I don't take back what I said." Raising her boys and knowing the delemma of their actions at times could make for a difficult choice! All the shannagan's between them and Grandpa Sherm, I'm sure, gave her premature gray hair! The worries and excitement were always there, and as you can see, they still are! Make no mistake, she loves her family and the excitement that comes with it! Til next time, take care, and we'll see you on the next. 😊

[@OsoGrande5150AZ]

If Grandma Lolly is happy, I'm happy.

[@Kletke84]

There should be a spot on the skids of the rat shack where there’s a hole drilled for some metal bars to run through to pull the shed. I built portable shed packages for 20 years

[@Ridehard4today]

[@mazevx2451]

"We all know how Paul moves things" probably the best comment of the episode 😂

[@scotrick3072]

sometimes I get distracted. I look up, Hunter’s jeep has a bad head gasket. I look up, Paul’s hauling a house onto a trailer. my brain: well, can’t wait to see how this fixes that gasket.

[@kc360awareness]

So this video explains A LOT. We were at your place two weeks ago Monday, (sorry we didn’t get to see any of the crew) Your mom said something about how you had dug up the fiber line. Lol. She kinda went off a little bit about how she warned y’all …. And…. Paul told her how familiar he was with where the fiber line was located. Since HE WAS THE ONE WHO BURIED it. Lol. It was so funny. Now the video surfaced a couple of weeks later. Thanks for the wholesome and entertaining content! We sure enjoyed our trip to Utah to see the eclipse. Including ROAM Adventures. Thanks for that pro vacation tip!

Next time you want to move the Rat Shack: 2x4s on the rollback, covered in dish soap. It's slippery and allows it to slide over the wood.

The best pour in head gasket sealer is Bears Tru Blu 2years in the old C-20s 350 and no problems and I haven't been nice to the old girl.

Was thinking about head gaskets when I got in the rental last Saturday, started it up, and it farted and threw a check engine light immediately. Thought about head gaskets a lot over the week as it smelled like oil at the front and coolant at the back.

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Paul, as a suggestion.. mark on the wall where your power, water, internet etc lines come from the front of the property.. just a coloured marker or spray paint can mark either on the outside or inside wall of the sheds, that way you will always know what direction and where the cables and pipes are and go... I did this years ago at my place and it is quick and easy to know when I need to dig more trenches or holes.. etc.. Your workshop is coming along nicely.. keep up the great videos and work you are doing... I love your videos and what you do... Hi from Melbourne Australia Tim.

Ok, new name for Hunter's Jeep, "Old Facefull" .

[@scotttaylor3872]

Pro tip - when laying gravity drains, start laying pipe at the downstream end. If you make a pipe slope mistake, you can always reduce the pipe slope to make grade. If you blow grade when laying from the upstream end, you'll have to dig up a bunch of pipe you just backfilled. You can't dig the creek deeper. Just sayin'...

[@scottbillings3677]

thought you were going to mention that they laid the bells down stream....usually you lay the bells up stream but that's such a short run it will live. no frost in the ground out there.

[@TheOldaz1]

[@joshswitzer3327]

For a stock jeep it did pretty good on the trail

[@martinmolloy9197]

When putting in cables or pipes, if you put a layer of gravel over it before covering with dirt you will hit the gravel before the pipe or cable and know you have something below . Good luck and the workshop is looking great, 👍

[@marvincarter870]

Good video the Fab rats team brought a lot of things together today, Hunter's Jeep, Grandma Lolly's Shed moved onto the concrete, dug the trench for the drain, etc. Good job!

[@JT-SE-OHIO]

A bottle of fix it is always worth a shot. I'm going to add some lucas to an Impala that has a rod chatter on start up. I have used all their products before and with good luck. I hope I have better luck than Paul did with Hunter's jeep. The shop is looking better every week. I don't care how big you build them it's never big enough.

[@TheBibliofilus]

Next time you need to move the shack, lift it up and put some pieces of pipe underneath or that DOM for cages and pull it with the digger and just throw the pipes in-front of it once one rolls out the rear!

Paul, you need a better cable for your internet. I would put an inch water line in so it's protected I have been a telephone man for 44 years and still going. Make sure you do it before you pour. Great work guys.

[@tracker1955]

I'm surprised you didn't just put a long channel drain across the front instead of using catch basins.

[@calholli]

Essentially the same thing-- this way it's easier clean out.. Only a few catch cans instead of an entire trough. They'll just have to shape the concrete a bit to direct the flow on the surface

[@Crewsy]

Hunter’s Jeep needs to be called. “It’ll be fine”. Digging through the internet cable when you knew it was there was pro level operating. 🤣😂🤣😂

[@PapasSpace]

Only one problem... the pipe is laid backwards... the bells should be on the high side and the spigot end on the lower end to prevent debris from getting caught and plugging up the pipe...

[@edwinschlee8374]

Hunters' boiler needs a lot of work. But the yard needs some cleaning done for new concrete slab! The drainage is a great idea. No standing water causing problems!

[@rstolen1138]

One thing you should check is the frost depth during the winter, for example, montana State is ~ 40", Washington / Oregon is like 10" If not buried under frost depth it will freeze and plug it up, or breaking pipe.

[@darrenmackenzie1645]
