Have you thought about jacking up the camper and putting a couple of tiers of 8x8 pieces under the axels to keep the tires off the ground? May help save the tires and avoid flat spots. Only need a inch or so off the ground. Just a thought. 🙂 Love you guys!!

[@janlaverge6822]

Just remove the tyres!!

[@MICHAELMEREDITHSR]

Please "Kristien" don't even let Mighty Matt *try* to go up that ladder with a 225-250 pound beam on his shoulder! Yes he's strong, but if he gets hurt, both of your futures could be in jeopardy. Matt you're a hardworking fartsmeller, i mean smartfeller, & this is the time to stay safe for "Kristien's" Good, Matty Junior's Good, & your own Good. 🙏🦉 🏞️

[@danfadden]

“Fart-smeller”. I haven’t heard that term since my dad passed away in 2020. He used to say that all the time, as a running joke in the family. Thank you for the smile today. It came at the perfect time. 😂

[@VonBluesman]

Matt last week in America, Kubota put a $17,000 discount on the tractor you need with a front end loader, box blade, & maybe the bush hog grass cutter. Dear Santa 😂🙏🏼✌️

[@christopherjacques9658]

Kubota Backhoe should be an absolute add-on

[@susanj8158]

The man driving the loader is the real hero here. He's so skilled with that machine. He gently placed Matt right on the money.

[@freedomwanderer91]

Definitely got skills.

[@ejpierle]

shit hot operator

[@sciglassblower]

Sometimes you kill me lol. You could have used a laser level or scope at the base of each post bracket and cut them before you put them up. You always seem to want to do things the hard way LOL

[@kenberger1814]

Add giant metal T straps at all the joints and through bolt them along with the 45 deg bracing.

[@jakobtheinventor]

Matt, you need some diagonal timber - you CANNOT rely on the feet for the vertical beams. Quick, before a small force causes everything to collapse.

[@LordoftheCats]

This is especially true when the wind speed increases and you start to experience significant lateral forces from the wind blowing against the roof. Some gussets between the top and verticle beams would be a good thing maybe.

[@DoctorBillTheRadioMan]

Square, Plumb and BRACE ! Do It Now !

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

You two have such a kind and caring heart taking the kitties and giving them a good home. I can tell how much you love them ❤❤

[@andrewwatkins1561]

8 X 8s on a roof?! I’m in the Northeast where there’s a ton of snow, and they don’t use 8 X 8s in the basement to hold up a two story house 😮 They sister three 2 X 6s for the main beam.

[@marceld6061]

That's not a pergola, That's a pole barn! Glad you finally put up some bracing 🫣

[@damijanpec7869]

It's usually measured and cut on the ground and if it's accurate then it's accurate up there too, you've done the work in hard way. There is progress😉

[@micahwatson9017]

Nice job guys! It coming together. Matt, don't push it too hard--a back injury will haunt you for the rest of your life. Trust me, I speak from experience as a tradesman myself. A couple tips: Any decorative roofs look better if you run the beams past the end posts by 1'-2' and cut a profile on the end of the beam. You should also run the rafters past the beams by 2'. Precut your beams based on the measurements of the posts at the base since they are fixed in place and will not move. If you don't trust you tape measure, lay the beam at the base of the posts and mark/cut them. If you keep the measurements between the base of the posts the same as the top of the posts, then once you plumb one post all the others will be plumb.

[@BrianPetersen-l2w]

Excellent progress. You have become masters of video editing, sountracks, and storytelling. Love it all.

[@kitgroovemachine]

Yes, don't risk your safety, because you guys are the most important machines in these projects !

[@jimmarshall5453]

I can't understand why you don't have h-shaped brackets on the top to hold the beams more securely. Of course, I was asking for brackets buried in the cement on the bottom. At least I am consistent. I love the time lapse video with the trees blowing in the background. What kind of treatment are you putting on the posts (ends and all) to protect them from rot, termites, etc?

[@stevenpurcell4292]

Outstanding video, troops. Love the cat update. Here in Costa Rica, we bought one Persian gata, Missy Mariposa, 12 years ago, then a white kitten was lost in the park next to us in a rainstorm, so we inherited Snow White, looks just like your white kitty. Then one day the kids could hear a kitten crying in the rain and we acquired Nacho, the orange tom cat. Thomas just wandered in through an upstairs window one day, he's a black and white. Mouse is a grey female who was found with a sick momma cat and two siblings. She was so amall her eyes weren't opened yet. We bottle fed her, the only survivor from that group. Then Mango, a black orange and white kitten was dropped out of a car into a rainstorm and we kept her crying soaking wet self. So, we bought one kitten and have 6. All of ours are also fixed and get their shots. Anyway, thanks for lovin on those gatas, We sii your happy chickens but where are the goats? Seriously, we need a five minute goat update. I keep expecting to see them frollicking in the background but no sightings. Keep up the great work and be careful not to break the Matt! He'd be difficult to replace. See you next week.

[@ev1448]

Nice work!

[@backtotheislandPR]

Awesome build! Best of luck with everything. Yeah we used to not be cat people but now they are part of the tribe here on the island 😂

[@judy8301]

Gosh, Matt, you are the real Macgyver!! Is there anything you cannot lift, pickup or plain do? Love watching the both of you, and the animals too, so cute how the cats hang around while you work. 😻

[@sailorsamperson3345]

Nice to see some temporary bracing in the last shot I would have 2x4s all around that until all the posts and beams have been connected. That's a lots of mass to only be connected at the base.

[@BarryBrowning]

As the saying goes, 'If there's a will, there's a way.' You two most certainly have the will!! 👍

[@michelbedos9371]

I agree completely; nonetheless, I question the ways more often than not. This is why I love their blog!

[@jimfisk4474]

Thank you T w o, Matt and kristen. I can see you really love cats Matt and I love them too. It's all looking so good and thanks so much. And glad you had the help of that Big piece of machinery. Hope to see you again next Sunday.And god bless you all.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JeffreyWilstone]

Can’t have to many kitties! ❤❤❤

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Lol it feels like we might😂😅

[@haroldlopez2530]

That's not your problem.

[@karyhansen5082]

a Perry scaffold is what you need. It gives you a 6 ft by 3 ft height adjustable dance floor on wheels . working with a saw on a ladder is WAY to dangerous.

[@landosharks9669]

Matt, we really need your videoed response to seeing your boat after Raff left that night. 🎉

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Lol no response needed 🤣 we just laughed I'm sure there's still a sticker on there somewhere I didn't find

[@claudehopper9813]

Gotta love the post & beam construction . Glad you brought in some equipment to help hoisting the heavy timbers . There's lots of old framers out there with injured backs don't over do it and get hurt . Cool project I'm sure it will be nice go team !

[@dcvargas8917]

Come on Matt. Think about your back. Once you rupture a disc you’ll suffer from chronic back pain.

[@vicentetrotondaalemany-we6pu]

Des de España ❤ Barcelona hun saludo😊

[@waynesellers9929]

Those posts needed bracing BEFORE you went up! VERY RISKY!!

[@nickfleming4757]

Matt have you thought about running threaded bolts through those posts at the bottom for added security. I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable with just a few nails with the wind you guys can get there.

[@larrycater-tx613]

I love y’all’s channel. Put some metal strapping around those beams. Hurricane clips.

[@Generalpickaname]

You guys need a laser level. Makes things so much easier 🍻🇦🇺

[@SailingWorldonWater]

"It's Hip To Be Square" Loved the Huie Lewis referance. Top one Bob (the Builder) fo PR.

[@rezawaheed8879]

that pergola was rockin more than the dead dolphin ....until cut to the bracing!!! give that guy a pat on the back for the bracing tip

[@tnolan3176]

A lot of people told them last week to brace the posts ! It wasnt a new idea ! This couple just doesnt realize there could be a few contractors watching the videos !

[@elizabethdunn1991]

Really well put together video of pergola build. Good luck on completion.

[@Sailingon]

Dam Mat be careful, if you hurt your back everything will stop.

[@dcvargas8917]

Back lives matter!

[@MrFroglips69]

Another groovy episode. Your building job is really coming together. Glad you called in the tracker/loader man. Watching you Matt on a ladder if a chainsaw, and then trying to carry through heavy beans up a ladder was a little nerve racking. I know your macho Matt, but come on man, your beautiful wife needs you to be safe. Kristin, I love your narration on the step by step building. Your so cute and sweet. Matt is one very lucky man, and you are one lucky woman to have Matt.

[@denise.kohler50]

You need to use bolt to hold the post on the bottom

[@thadcalvert7466]

Good to see that you got some help from the front-end loader!

[@FloatingVillageLife]

Watching the construction of the giant modern pergola and the effort put into lifting those heavy beams is truly inspiring. Your dedication and hard work shine through every step of the project, showcasing your remarkable skills and determination. And I am Floating Village Life.

[@rodneybaker5083]

Great job after you finish the pergola make some high points for the cat to hide underneath. They will love you maybe a staircase.

[@npete55]

Oh I was so relieved about getting the tractor! I know how much you like to challenge yourself to “do it myself”! I was worried about your back and just all together safety!

[@JeffreyWilstone]

Coming together looks awesome 😎

[@mikefox1332]

OK, in my youth I worked construction. I will say a 120 pound compact load is hard to handle just walking. Climbing up a ladder with it on your sho is much more difficult. But make the load a long timber the amount of strength and skill it takes to climb a ladder in increased greatly. Kudos my frriend. P.S. it's also dangerous.

[@herbertsusmann986]

One trick in getting heavy things up like that is to temporarily screw pieces of wood on the sides of the vertical posts. You then get one end of the horizontal piece onto the temporary support then work the horizontal piece up on the other end. Make your temporary support so the horizontal heave beam cannot fall off. Make them like L shaped.

[@dougsrepair1060]

Happy to see you didn’t hurt yourself.

[@davidperham897]

Amen Cristien, glad you got Matt to get some good help with that Pur- gu- La. we want you guys around and alive for a long time so we can continue to bombard you with our nonsense!!! Your doing great work sir and mam (husband and wife) excited for you guys Cdn. Dave

[@allenclark1914]

It is coming along, looking nice and will add a better outdoor space for you.

[@greedythedragon5913]

Brother, use short pieces of 2x4 and two ladders and go up ⬆️ n lifts so you don’t get hurt. Love you guys show great job

[@lucase.rosadomartinez4346]

Se ve fuerte, so happy that you took the safer route and got the machine to do the lifting. Exito.

[@valeriefrench9405]

Save your back. And be safe

[@johnlennon335]

even some temporary diagonal bracing would be a wise thing to do.

[@rodneyross5282]

Another fun Loving video. Matt we all know you are what you used to be, there is only one Matt from SGBU. You have that looking really good. Kristin, thanks for telling us there will be a deck, that makes things easy to understand. Have a super blessed week. Love from Texas.

[@robbymarcetic4132]

I follow a lot of vloggers on You Tube, all of them talk a lot and show us little of what you build with the exception of individuals, show a little more what you build or restore because I personally watch because I am interested in what you build and not how it is built, I already know that and many others I think agree. Good luck to everyone

[@Chris97302]

The fish eye lens threw me off for just a second when you were cutting the first beam. I thought one of the beams were warped badly! 😂 I can’t believe that could even jump through my head because of how much you checked everything! Looks great!!!!

[@sfurgas]

Thanks for the video. Considering the cats, you should call it the purr-gala. LOL

[@adriansky9897]

[@mordokch]

Love the mogster heavy episodes :) Honestly they could have their own spin off show if you put cameras on their collars or some such, people would watch that, hell I'd watch that 😻😸

[@celestecatcurren1089]

From where I’m from in the U.S. we simply call it a “Carport”. They typically have a solid cover ontop. I have a Pergola next to my waterfall/pond. Pergola is Open beams, mine are painted black with lavender Wisteria & Passion Flower vines, and hung festive white lights.

[@TropicShade]

Camperport!

[@Thereminator101]

The main reason for braces is not just stability...but to make all your members square, plumb and level to the world. That way you can cut the beams on the ground and know they'll fit in the air.

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

Per Ga La. 😂. Mornin guys

[@rickstuart4851]

If it is a solid roof I always thought it would be called a pavillion. Pergola to me is usually a shade structure with cross beams but no solid roof.

[@patrickbrennan2346]

Great job Matt !! You know as long as your pads were good ya could have cut those post on the ground would have been easier & less weight to set but it’s done now maybe if theres more down the road you can try that.

[@raymondfolsom5859]

Your deck will be a considerable brace...I sure enjoy watching you guys.

[@tamirose8562]

I'm here every Sunday, watching you guys,the place is taking shape,looks great,good job.

[@jamesdunican1750]

Fantastic work it’s looking great And as to the cats At lest you didn’t put them down We can tell that you and your wife are both very nice people And very kind to the animals ☘️

[@D.Idahome]

Love what you are doing to enjoy your outdoor experience. Having the pergola will be wonderful. You’re a hard working couple that is like the ever-ready battery. You two bunnies, just keep on going. 😊 Presuming you will be covering the RV, before you top it off with the pergola, you may want to consider doing your yearly roof maintenance. I would do a thorough wash, check and reseal the ac, vents, and other seams. Otherwise the deterioration in that climate will make for regrets. You may even want to consider a roof coating if the leaves and debris are a challenge. It’ll save you leaks and more work in the roof, walls, windows, seams and at the slide-out.

[@Riley_1955]

Nice update you 2 .... Keep rolling along and next thing you know it will be done.

[@dereksellars]

Oh, Matt. Just wait about 10 years and you will be telling yourself:" Why did I work my Body like that" You will feel it later. I know, from doing roofing, concrete, decks ,and, yes Pergolis. You will FEEL the PAIN. Looking good and keep it up. Love watching you guys. :)

[@WayneSmith-yf3fg]

I hope you looked at some "Post & Beam" construction plans. I would have lapped that center beam.

[@jimfinn1043]

Matt have you ever used a water level using a garden hose?

[@vvgmhod4]

"Rectify the instabilities in our lives." Priceless! Even the most stable among us can use shoring up from time to time. Standing on the top step of a stepladder while lifting a 116 lb. beam onto an unbraced vertical might be a window into something that might warrant some attention. Apart from that, the security and stability of your relationship with one another and with the many other creatures that share our wonderous planetary home is impressive, and suggests to me a deep, heavy, and stabilizing keel. Thank you for all that you do. Btw, that white Klingon at 15' 40" is a hoot!

[@joemedcalf7732]

No worries Matty, as that country song says (Toby Keith) “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I am good once as I ever was” ❤. We all feel Father Time, but you are holding up well my man. Awesome progress. You guys rock😊. One suggestion, too late, but next time put cross bracing on it to keep the post straight, I think they are out of plum moving around and trimming top cap to size maybe..but hey….
