Building A HOME DEPOT RAFT on 55 Gallon Drums!! (3 stories tall)

[@PurpleBox89]

I love the evolution of how yall have gone from living in fear of being chased out of Home Depot to now the employees recognizing and aiding you guys.

[@jlucasound]

Money Talks and Everyone Listens. I noticed that, too! They have also become quite well know. Celebrities in their community.

[@Chronicoverburn]

Doing more for home depots business then anyone else

[@WonderMayne]

Home Depot realized the amount of money they spent and said hold on one second let's no be rash.

[@MaverickMcGreasy]

50 thousand dollars later

[@budddove6480]

I'm a new sub to this channel as of today. I found it 2 days ago with the itty bitty build. Ive been binge watching ever since. This guy is a gem and the world needs more like him. The way he treats and includes Davy Gravy in the videos is what sealed the deal for me. I have a sister with cerebral palsy, our mom died when we were young. I took guardianship over her and have always made sure to include her in everything. Doctors told mom she would never even walk. She not only walks and talks perfectly, she thrives. I built her a full house that connects to my main house. She has her own bathroom, kitchen, living room and bedroom. She can come hang out with me by opening one door. She's the best aunt and sweetest most genuine person I know. Ive seen alot of me in watching Ayo help Davy. Just a super cool dude and I appreciate people like him. Much love bro.

[@LdFarquaad]

A whole year after you that itty bitty video found it’s way into my feed lol.

[@URsooomad8613]

That Home Depot worker was chill af, props to that man

[@JoeVanGogh]

Yeah we(e)'d be chill to💨😂

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Fr the goat of the video !

[@Cgod1000]

What would he be upset about lol, "call the cops these guys are being law abiding citizens!"

[@ClassEdits]

Get him on next episode

[@FlexibleToast]

@@Cgod1000 watch just about any episode they go to Walmart. They will get told not to film and get kicked out.

You guys always make me feel better about my life choices. That Home Depot worker was chill af, props to that man.

[@tiremanboozer]

Please let there be more videos of this build. That thing will be awesome once it's decked out.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Yes ! 😄

They literally mentioned the upcoming Part 2 at the end in their singing 😛

[@mikeriley1702]

I gotta see a camp out catch & cook with These guys and Davy Gravy!!!😂😂😂

[@guachingman]

​@@tiremanboozeri hear you bro. Jokes apart, me too, and the subs work funky with anything other than normal speech. Am thinking on those to bone headphones lately. Be well

[@smallgaragebigdreams6032]

Agreed! Gotta be a part 2 with siding and motor. And a finish all in budget would be cool!

[@acousticdoug]

I love the juxtaposition of Avo freaking out about the price of wood with Norm and Mason being like, “which toilet is the best?”

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

the duality of man

[@nathanjasper512]

And then then saying they're gonna put it out on 2x4s over the lake. I'm glad I don't fish the same lakes they do.

[@lethalweaboo8662]

​@nathanjasper512 I all ends up in the same place😅

[@thegamercave5160]

@@nathanjasper512 fish poop in the lake sorry to break it too you but they wouldn’t actually poop in the lake lol

[@prestonrussell605]

This was definitely one of your best videos. This boat is massive. It is going to provide so much new content. I don’t know how this thing can ever be moved from this lake to another, where are you going to keep it?

[@mitchswanson2175]

Must do a part 2+!! We want to see it dolled up and rolling down the lake in style

[@Saber_Outdoors]

Agree 100%

[@sideshow8o872]

Seriously. This thing would be cool as shit if able to be anchored in a lake or something. The pretty good got some good bones!

[@travelin_taco]

Absolute must. Finishing touches boys. Get some screens on those windows so you don’t have bug problems and you’ll be golden

[@blk37f65]

Build a train next time smaller of course but have an engine, passenger car and caboose. That would be a real challenge.

[@tiltedalyssa]

[@RenArthurCorillo]

And... you've spent a lot on the itty bitty when this thing can top it all with a little modification and improvement interior wise.. I love this. finally something floating without tipping over.. win win

[@tiege_gaming]

this was awesome , good to see everyone working together . deff need to do a 24 survival or longer on that !! .. if the wife will let yea haha . lets see more of these types !! love the channel

[@SaltyCracker402]

We the subscribers demand a part 2! Upgrades and furnishings! That is the best build yall have ever done, good work guys

[@RodsandReloads]

You're energy and kindness is unmatched on KZbin, every video you create is top content. Keep rocking it

[@Bukrger]

Now you all have to deck it out and do a 100 hour challenge, with snacks, generator, games, all kinds of fun challenges. If you do that, the bois will give you 1 mill before norm

[@benwoods4148]

Norm telling mason to come down and help with the roof was the best.😂 “Let’s talk about it for a while.”😂😂

[@7Wolf2k]

Make more videos where you guys combine your powers for good. You know, like Voltron!! This was a ton of fun to watch and I can't wait to see the raft get decked out with a toilet, lights and a welcome mat. Nice job!!

[@hunterwarner393]

Its impressive how strong Ayo is. Guy was definitely an offensive tackle lol. I absolutely love your videos and it always makes my nights better when you post. especially the build videos, and your boat build videos!

[@Miedra1022]

I think a 24 hr catch clean cook on this boat would be dope. Like get a grill and entertainment and some sleeping stuff. That would be a fun video.

[@htoddgriffin4787]

What could go wrong? You guys are naval architects of the first order. Your country is lucky to have you.

[@chrismontgomery7583]

Damn fine Americans.

[@deesmith6363]

My first thought is what happens when the wind picks up to 50-60 mph? I live around water, so I know what happens. Our raft with a change house became a raft with a change house that had no windows, no door and no roof. Real fast.

[@lutifaatagi]

7:30 I did too. "damn... damn boy, damn boy he thick boy! dats a thick ass boy!"🤣Norm and Mason are hilarious this whole vid. Please tell me there's a part 2 and 3 where yall decorate, fish and camp .

[@Bassfishinhwithcody]

One of my favorite fishing channels Can’t get any better then ending a work night with a Ayo and norm video

[@lemonyskunkketts7781]

Boat channels. Not much fishing videos

[@keegancustarfishing]

Smalls is very funny at the perfect moment which makes videos like these very entertaining.

[@Rsimps1986]

Great Video guys! Glad you took inspiration from us at The Legend Of The Ouse. Only correction is the tyres weren't ballast they were for protection for mooring purposes 😊

[@edlebrock3501]

oh man PLEASE continue this build! so awesome! you could try loosening a couple caps to let just a small bit of water in a couple of the barrels to help it stabilize and keep it bottom heavy.

[@Big_boom90]

Another great video for the boys, don't make us wait to long for the next camping adventure on this new floating house, ayo! 😂

[@briangreeno3822]

By far my favorite of the build videos on You Tube. Can't wait to see what you do with it in the next vid.

[@sarahnewcomer7694]

You 4 are hilarious together. I love how y'all play off eachother. Keep up the great content. It's way more fun then whatever the streaming services are putting out 😅

[@scottcheuvront7074]

Lil bro, THIS should be your new PB video!! I've seen many, many offerings ( and enjoyed all ). I watched it late last night and laughed so much, I thought I'd wake the household. Even the sponsor's spot cracked me up! Definitely need to do an overnight fishing trip with that build...of course, with the guys! Keep up the good work!!

[@Tyler-pb8ne]

The most entertaining guys on KZbin. Love watching all the fellas have fun! P.S. Waiting for an upload Norm!

[@keebslol]

I never knew smalls was in printing. I also do printing. Wonder if he does flexo or screen or more like embossing and die cutting.

[@joshuacastro9099]

Cant wait to see you guys do a overnight catch clean cook on the new build love it !

[@angelamorrison8634]

My kids went on the Outward Bound program way back when, I wanted them to learn survival skills and I must tell you that it was the most valuable outlay financially that I ever made. My kids are now 49 and 51 and as survival skills teach how to survive in any environment including work family and so much more I am so glad that they got the concept of survival. My daughter has been a firefighter for 23 years, my son is a "mad men" type advertising person and successfully so. I like what you do, and I hope you keep going. I see you having a good time and that will be inspiring to young people who spend way too much time on the internet and perhaps not enough time in the hands on world. Let it be guys, keep being yourselves and continue to mentor. You will reach some, hard to imagine how many but you will make a difference. Love.

[@parabellum5847]

I love it, are you guys working together to save the day with some content. You're like the avengers of fishing KZbin. Love this video! Super cool, I wish I could go camping and fishing in that raft.

[@annwithaplan9766]

I'm glad you finally made one with the barrels. When my ex and I lived in GTMO, we had a barrel boat made from the 55 gal metal drums soldered together. We had metal railings, a covered roof, and a little space on the side with a door for the toilet seat on a box. Felt crazy being able to see the water below, under the seat. We'd take the kids fishing on the ocean on weekends, and many times he'd go fishing and diving with buddies and bring home tons of 🐟 and 🦞 . Fun times. One thing you could do is fill the barrels with that spray foam stuff and you'll never sink.😊

[@whiskymacable]

Looking forward to part two guys, but I can't help feeling you'd be safer with an extra drum at each corner for better buoyancy 😉

[@edwardpurks3883]

It's amazing. As people we spend years restoring a factory build boat. Every step of the way is overly complicated and expensive. Yet, in two days we can build a brand new one twice the size. All while using common materials. You should add some windows and siding on it. This thing is legit!

[@ryanfester2824]

@AYO Fishing Hey, just a suggestion for future builds but you could of totally gotten that damaged piece of plywood at 6:45 discounted at like 70-90% off, they usually end up in the scrap bin with purple spray paint on it, probably just have to talk to an associate in Lumber or ask the cashier when you ring up. I used to work at Homedepot years ago! Figured every cent counts.

[@michaeldupuy1519]

24 hour camping trip on this thing would be awesome catch and cook catfish or bluegill

[@tjboylan20]

It’s crazy how far ahead you film these videos, Fathers day at this point is two months ago, it just shows how much time and effort it takes

[@MarketingGuy024]

39 mins and 57 seconds of guaranteed laughter! I also live here in Alabama and you all remind me of my friends! Keep up the great work!

[@bobwilliams5506]

LaGrange Home Depot. I grew up in Lanett. Spent a lot of time in LaGrange. The girls were VERY friendly there. I watched the dam being built and caught many many bass from the shorelines as the lake filled. I love the show, guys!

[@StevenJarrett1961]

It obviously your best build yet, and I can’t wait to see the next chapter of this build. You need to get some running lights on it and at least do an overnight catch and cook. Make sure Gravy is with you guys. Best episode yet.

[@Squankopolis]

this is the all star crew right here

[@medtech1a]

Guys this build is beyond epic. I’m loving this so much.

[@MrRedneckcrazy]

Hurricane brackets they are little metal pieces for 2x4 ( and a couple of other there's) to be secured together while adding quite significant lateral load to the adjacent board it's being attached to. In Florida I'm sure you're very familiar with these.

[@RobsNeighbor]

Love the content lately, sure helping inspire me to get our content train rolling!

[@donaldbenson4310]

Got to make another video, AYO. I feel we need another day with the boat moving and the lights on and diving off the top roof. maybe some fishing if the park will allow it. Great content. Can't wait till the next AYO fishing event.

[@shaunradomski8625]

Dude. This one is epic, can't wait to see it in action! I'd like to see the price tag you can get on it. Shame it's bit a permanent vessel, you guys did an awesome job

Seriously need to get Davy a Captains hat,and have him set up on the bow as you putt across the lakes and rivers,waving like the 'King Of The World'! (Maybe spray paint a lawnchair gold?)

[@KENNEY1023]

This was the most insane, awesome video. Cant wait for part two. You should find a way to trailer the boat back to AYO's place, paint it to protect the wood.

[@gregleatt4207]

as long as I don't have to wait for 3 weeks I'm happy this was fantastic

[@thorson7842]

Put some handrails on the roof sections a second latter....and it's tome for some overnight catch and cooks! Let's go baby😅! Great work

[@SiberianRomeo]

Great build, looking forward to more. Y'all really need more studs on the main level to support the weight of the upper level. Can already see the boards bowing around the windows in some shots.

[@meco72104]

Awesome, I am looking forward to seeing the finished boat. Yall have to do a catch and cook on the part 2.

[@MegaDeansy]

Brilliant !. So looking forward to seeing it once the sofas/chairs, carpets, toilet/shower, widescreen TV, internet, cooker etc are in ...........................

[@clayolson1679]

This. Was. Wonderful. It made my heart feel feelings and stuff. Please do more of this, you don't need the endless budget. Hell, do the exact same video with 200 bucks and it'll be just as good, maybe better. Love you guys.

[@mattferguson767]

I need to see this thing rippin around with that outboard properly attached. You also need to build a ladder to the deck of the 3rd floor so you can jump from there. And of course we need to see fish caught from this thing. And maybe a survival/camping challenge/catch and cook on board. So many possibilities

[@notnekfishing954]

Yall have a bunch of fun and it shows....side note @Smalls on Father's day it's your day to do whatever you want! I spend the day fishing away from my family lol

[@kathybrandt6060]

I love your raft you are going to paint it right. I think camouflage would be perfect for your exterior painting of the craft. If you use the barrels to create a couch on the first floor. Build a box around two barrels that could be your couch bass put a little foam on it got a place to sit you’re gonna have to carry your own water. And the bathroom could be basically just a tiny cabinet with a 5 gallon bucket underneath it and then just put a top on it where you lift it off and you got your toilet. Good luck, I can’t wait to see the next build. I can’t wait for the well. I can’t wait but I’m really looking forward to the finishing of your raft. I

[@debbiecords4743]

Definitely need to have a part 2 and 3 and on! Can't wait to see this monster trolling around!💜💜💜💜

[@alantrask6500]

Please be a part 2 this is epic. You and norm need your own lake for all your boats.

[@DienekesShade]

Awesome footage, as usual. Got one question though, why not use some sort of stabilizers, on each side? Four barrels, connected with main deck with solid planks. Times four. On a plane of cross. You'd get extra four fishing decks. And close to zero maneuverability but it would be stable that way 😅

[@jerrystatic256]

When I saw Smalls I knew it would be a good video! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤙🎣

[@redneckmatt1244]

Really interesting what’s your possibility are together definitely wanna see more of boat.. 24h, catch cook, survival challenge and maybe more builds together, WE NEED MORE AYO UPLOADS

I would love to see a series where you, Norm, Yak, Trey, Mason and Smalls (or some combo of that crew) fish specifically for Snakeheads to help get that invasive species outta Southern US waters (particularly FL).

Pallets would make an awesome platform and are stronger than plywood. Use pallets & then can sheet with plywood that is more cost effective

If you put 2x4s at 45deg angles in the inside corners it'll make everything much more rigid. I think there are metal "T" shaped braces you can get that you just cut a line with a circular saw and pound it in then nail for the same purpose. Just looked it up; Simpson T-Shaped Wall Bracing.

[@TylerWayne-qw2to]

Dude that thing is epic I've been watching you since I was 15 I'm 23 now I've always loved your content hopefully I can run into u one day here in Florida and do a challenge with you!much love bro

[@texasproducepatch4000]

You may have overlooked something. I built a Barrel Barg two years ago during Covid. Later in the year when the temps start to drop, these barrels will collapse if precautions are not taken. I found that the simplest thing to do is to just simply drill a 1/4 inch hole in the top side of each barrel. This way, the pressure on the inside will equalize with the outside pressure.

[@logansworld1767]

You guys are the best because you make videos I can watch for educational purposes, so I can learn how to build stuff better

[@runikvarze6191]

Now you need to waterproof all the wooden components. Seal it so it lasts. Otherwise wood rot is going to set in in just a few months, at most.
