Ground Work Prep For Our Free Standing Deck | Ep 3 Sleepy Creek

[@BeckiandChris]

Having far too much fun working in the woods ⛺️ Any questions about the process leave them below!

[@TrentonPalmer]

Fun fact, the tire pressure you are running is the ground pressure that tire will make. Obviously the heavier the vehicle the more it will squish the tire down and make a larger contact patch but still the same PSI. I used my truck a bunch for compacting the pad for my hangar 🤙

[@BeckiandChris]

🤯🤯🤯 that checks cause I think we estimated 41 psi based on the back of the napkin estimate and our tire pressure was 45!

[@poppymonroewild]

The vibration consolidates the interstitial spaces between the agregate particles. If you want compaction vibration plus moisture to lube up the process is ideal. Your truck weight is bearing pressure, essentially how much weight you can stack on top without squishing below. Either case you aren't building a bridge, you'll be just fine with what you got. But major bummer about that rental equipment. Also just want to know what little portable fire pit that is? Looking for one for my 4 wheeler trips. Love the property and the vids. Thanks for sharing.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Chris is the master of any machine... I dont know how he does it.

[@prestinaluvr]

I would love a video of an overview of your camping gear (with links)

[@richardwestwood1]

I agree! ☝️

Love this series! So much fun!

[@GuilDormeus]

Those string lights are beautiful

[@BeckiandChris]

They really change the vibe!

[@muditahlawat]

the aumbiaunce was immaculate 🤌😂

[@richardwestwood1]

What storage bin are you using that had a cutting board in it at 9:09!? That’s legit!

[@BeckiandChris]

Sidio Crate!! They are the best!

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

I love it he so nerdy I mean that in a good way. HaHa I (Kelley) would be like yep need something heavy. Love the lights and wow that steak looked so good also it was huge.

[@stumys]

I can't ever get over how good that matte black wrap looks on your F-150...makes me want to do it to mine too. :D

[@BeckiandChris]

I’m obsessed!!

[@mizshellytee]

The Sepsis Hat! OMG.

[@shawnchenco]

Sunday Funday! Another fun video, the singing had me in stiches :D

[@MrEddieNunez]

Love these series! This place is going to be magical for fall foliage

[@SmallFryCreations]

Great video as always. Look forward to them everyweek. Becki your camp pants are awesome. I would love to know what brand they are?

[@JebbAdams]

I can hardly keep up with all this awesomeness! Cheers Dudes!

[@paul8938]

Seeing you outdoors makes me excited for summer! So cool to follow your journey

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks! Can’t wait to get out more this summer!

[@jakobmorningstar]

If you guys plan on building another camp site with a gravel pad I’d recommend looking into Geocell ground grids. You dig out the spot you want your pads, put the grid down and then pour in your gravel and the cells lock the gravel in and keep it from washing out. My uncle and I used it for a crushed concrete pad to park a camper on and it has held up great.

[@BeckiandChris]

I think we got some of those for our pathway that we’re building! I’ll have to see if it’s the same thing

[@jakobmorningstar]

@@BeckiandChris they work like a charm. Just stake down the landscaping fabric beneath it and you’re good to go. One other thing we did was framed the geocell with some pressure treated lumber to help out even more. It has held up fantastical the last 4 years!

[@BeckiandChris]

@@jakobmorningstarsounds fantastic!

[@AlexPresa]

enjoying the process, as always.

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks much!

[@johnalvarez3376]

Using the Riv to compact the dirt?? Genius!! Still don’t see the clearing for WZ’s home 🤔

[@BeckiandChris]

That’s on the list for the summer, hopefully in time for her arrival later this year!

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Oh, I love the bloopers at the end

[@BeckiandChris]

Chris suggested cutting them and I was like 😱 how dare you!!

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

@@BeckiandChris that’s right don’t you dare because the whole time I thought that hat said Pepsi but then at the end I got it because it’s says sepsis and then I remembered he’s a doctor you know, Dr. humor

[@BeckiandChris]

@@youknowwithMartyKauffman😂😂

[@nickdambrosia2304]

Hahahaha can we have an episode entirely made up of bloopers? I love it

[@tobysstory4013]

Beautiful property. Yall are hilarious

[@igoslomo]

ROFL around minute 12, Chris' pony tail coming out of his sweatshirt looked like really long chest hair... Cracked me up... BTW... Love the content!

[@sonatagmajor]

Been loving these series guys! The perfect way to get my day started while I sip on some cafe 👌🏽🤌🏽

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks so much!

[@CodyWales]

Chris going full nerd mode to calculate how the Rivian would compact the soil is PEAK.

[@BeckiandChris]

Classic Chris 😂

[@kelaidiscope]

What brand is the new table! I need one.

[@daniilkalinkin8627]

What camping table is this?

[@lensaero]

Plate compactor issue sounds like the fuel vent in the cap is blocked, you may have tried it already but if not next time try loosening the cap or taking it off completely to test.

[@31kaydawg]

Chris! @ 11:57, it looks like you have knarly chest hair. How do you both keep the lumbar from warping in the rain?

[@sm308racing4]

Had to laugh at Chris’s hair sticking out of his hood like unruly chest hair or a weird chest beard. 12:02 Also glad you guys were in good spirits even when things didn’t go the way you expected. Just have to roll with the punches.

[@BeckiandChris]

We died at that too 🤣 chaos! Thanks! Just gotta roll with the punches!

[@johnp.weiksnar6861]

"A matte" . . . for the ground. (That's how I interpreted the start of it!)

[@AllPathsLeadToWater]

Do you have water on your land other than the creek? If not do you have plans for water, like a well?

[@BeckiandChris]

No other water, we talked about possibly adding a well one day! That would make life a lot easier down there

[@kenexsevilla]

What tonneau cover are you using on the truck? Did you change your truck rack or plan to swap them around based on the need of the day?

[@BeckiandChris]

It’s the UnderCover Armor Flex Tonneau Cover! my plan was to run the tonneau over winters and swap to the bed-rack over the summer but I ended up leaving the bedrack on all winter because I ran out of time to build a pulley style storage system

[@darknstormyimages]

The filter in the fuel cap is blocked... crack the fuel cap and it should keep running as its starving for fuel

[@moose64]

That steak. 🤤

[@BeckiandChris]

Was so good 🤤

[@travelhomedad]

Great video! where did you get the black table from?

[@BeckiandChris]

Thanks! It’s King Camp, got it on Amazon!

[@ckhicks]

Is there _any_ machine Chris cannot figure out in like two seconds? 😂

[@muditahlawat]

2:54 poor Rivi 😭

[@bloodandbonezzz]

Best channel on YewTewb ❤

[@jxrdnz]

Has the house been on the back burner? I fell in love with that series during covid

[@BeckiandChris]

We’re working through it but it’s going slow, big job to tackle ourselves and we like being outside when the weather is good!

[@macfanguy]

Yall are funny… 😂

[@dbarilow]

Grill marks bud 10:12
