DEMOLISHING THE OLD ABANDONED FARMHOUSE ON OUR 8 ACRE OFF GRID PROPERTY!

[@a.s.clifton544]

Seal that grout, seal that grout, seal that grout. With all the rain you get, the foot traffic you can expect, and the lighter color grout, sealing it now will save headaches later. Looking great!

[@praeliora]

They need to put sealed toppers on the walls and fences too, if not, they will have to replace them every year due to water intrusion if they continue to neglect it.

[@12B4Christ]

Sealing it can also bring the tile color out. Then reseal it every couple years or so....

[@therasleys8268]

So are you saying he should seal the grout?

[@bradpowell6224]

Sealing the grout only keeps things from getting in immediately. After five minutes or so it still absorbs moisture. The only thing that cleans grout fully is a steam cleaner with a wand. Dirt still discolors the grout.

[@derekd1510]

And I know you like to work harder, not smarter Matt, but next time you apply grout you can use the sponge immediately after application, before it dries, and you will save yourself a LOT of trouble...

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

@@reo7575 There was a vid about a couple that went to Alaska to homestead. Yeah, it was bad luck: someone shot out the windows on their truck because they left it alongside the hiway. Dug 3K (yes, 3K) and never hit water and the drill broke a bit. They were building an A-frame( the lamest thing you can build). I don't see their vids anymore (maybe I need to look harder, but it was painful to watch). Never-the-less, ya gotta give these folks some credit. The young lady is staunch and well, can discard a bra. Laying stone and then doing the grout is, putting up drywall and then tapping and sanding and painting. It's work. The kind of work, that if you have any brains you don't make a career of. Start a business, with a good crew if you can manage that. Well, time for me to shutup.

[@Daryl-qf5cu]

I am really proud of you guys. You are such a great team. I was expecting Mat to knock down that old with a framing hammer and haul it down to the dump, one wheel barrow at a time. Hiring a few machine operators was the smart thing to do. You guys have both been on a steep learning curve, and you are doing wonderful things. I can't wait to see what you will accomplish in the next few years. I'm sure it will be stunning.

[@bucktafoya4086]

If there is any chance that the lower area of your property can flood when the river overflows, I would build the house up by the road. The original house was built there for a reason. This is my 3,000 miles away, never seen your property, opinion. Love you guys, and Congratulations on your recent nuptials!

[@johnstalnaker8807]

House built up on stilts (flood contingency plan). Build a patio slab below, screen in bottom area and furnish with outdoor living/recreational amenities.

[@bernardchalecki4163]

The valley is very wide and flat, wonder why.

[@hokiedoo]

I agree I have been watching them for a few years the farm is new but they have not gone through a hurricane on this property that I know of that valley might flood or worse!

[@cliveklg7739]

I think the lower land area is still quite a ways above the river. They've already been through a rainy season there as well, and it didn't come close.

[@Rhythm911]

I really like those counterpoint style, 'Stop Motion-Fast Forward' destruction, (without destruction), sequences.. They was eerie and funny, and a bit sad ..............

[@claudehopper9813]

The project is really coming along . The entry and privacy wall out front was time and money well spent . It makes a statement : Strong , clean and private !

[@clearwaterflorida5267]

1 year to build a wall! that moving right along...

[@floridapatriot9776]

Hey guys, I think a deck is a great idea. Maybe even a portion of it a screened enclosure to escape any little bugs. It will really make The RV feel larger. You can even put a grill outside and enjoy some nice meals in the outdoors. However, I'm not opposed to you guys just hitting that sailboat and taking a trip. LOL

[@annhysell6064]

Absolutely!

[@floridapatriot9776]

@@annhysell6064 that RV will feel a lot larger if they have a nice comfortable outdoor space to kick back, relax, and enjoy a nice meal.

[@TomGillis-wx1wr]

And I will enjoy the deck when you raffle a weeks stay, after the house is built of course

Hey. What you’ve done, so far, is excellent. Keep it up.

[@garymucher4082]

Once again, nice to see a young couple do things that they have never done before, and the projects come out really nice. And as you continue along the way, your skill levels blossom and new abilities are learned. Everyone had to start pretty much the same way. But that is the beauty of wanting to do things yourselves and learn along the way as you go. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Thumbs Up!

[@GaryOsmondson]

You guys are inspirational! Looks really great so far, just like your boat renovation. Thanks for videos and congrats on your marriage.

[@claudeross126]

Looking great 👍

[@rifamycin]

I think you guys should plan on water mitigation from the rains, so that flat piece of property at the end of the driveway doesn’t flood every rain season.

[@DannyCreech]

At the end of the video you can tell you are both truly married now. hahaha I'm so proud of you Matt ( I mean Larry Lamanati). You and Boatyard Betty make such a cute couple. I always look forward to your next video. One day my wife and I will swing by PR and bring some Rum.

Are there fish to eat in your river now?

[@Franko-eg6iu]

I’ve done tile for over 20 years. Your design is French hairinbone Looks great. Others said & I agree. Seal grout & seal it again.

[@HookmanBrown1]

It's called Herringbone(French or not), but auto-correct will get you every time. It's named after the way a " herring bone " looks after the meat has been stripped off the bones. Think back to old school cartoons where the fisherman flicking his rod n reel back and forth, has to deal with big fish in the ocean and cats on land.

[@Franko-eg6iu]

@@HookmanBrown1 not so Herring bone is square to room. French herring bone is at a diagonal to room or area it is installed. If u care to correct any other words feel free to feel - (superior) get it ? Heringbone

You need a roof over the camper, it will lower the temperature, save on A.C., help save it if it develops any small leaks, plus it helps unloading groceries. It can be made of metal,tin, fiberglass panels, blue tarp(temporary). For temporary you can cut trees for post & bury them 24 inches deep with your post whole digger. You got it Looking Great y’all. 👍😎🙏🏼✌️

[@tezdejesus8384]

My thought of what to do while waiting for permits: knowing it'll be 4 to 8 weeks - go sailing for 2 or 3 weeks; come back and work on a 'hangout area' that you'll have a better idea of since you will have talked it over while languidly cruising the area. The problem is, by then, hurricane season will be upon you. That could be a good thing in that you'll learn if and how badly the property floods. Build the house on stilts anyway. Someday there will be another Maria.

Fabulous, removing that RAT infested house was the best move, besides marrying Kristen that Uncle Matty accomplished in one day. The deck off the RV overlooking your stream would certainly be a plus.
