Matt place a batten on the top of the fence to stop water ingress on the end grain of the wood it will enhance your fence as well,great videos..

[@loubonaparte5063]

1000000% agree

[@andrewparry6106]

In future.cut wood @ angle

[@gp89312]

Do this

[@thomasbrosinski6192]

Agree...

[@robertbennett6697]

Chamfer and sand end grain before adding cap.

[@johannesnel8875]

A short drone video to get an idea where you ended up parking that camper would be nice.

[@thomasbrosinski6192]

Yes, and one driving up to the entrance. Nice wall...

[@danstevens5782]

Way more exciting than sailing.. it's like sunday morning cartoons. Love you guys

[@zzzxxzzz3248]

Like Indiana Jones! Lol😂

[@MitchellPetersoncustomdrone]

Dumb and dummer

[@bryman777]

Concrete pad for the trailor so it doesnt sink into the clay in the future, and a Septic System large enough for a house and your MotorHome..

[@garyfairbrother5532]

Love Matt’s Macho Man dissertations that make me laugh out loud and love Kris-ten’s able, bouncy, attitude that warms my heart. What a great pair of entertaining jungle tamers! Can’t get enough!

[@worms1]

there's nothing like success ; amazing your rear bumper survived that load

[@rogerfast2618]

Exactly and that no one got hurt.

[@shawzall404]

RVs are not forgiving when it comes to leaks. Get some Dicor tape sealant to put between the trim and siding, then seal the trim down. That Dicor tape is a life saver.

[@fureveryoungfarm3752]

I have never been so stressed watching someone else . Lol. I wanted to fast forward. So glad you made it. Location is amazing!

[@baja27100]

I’m going 🤮 from the stress watching.

[@bobhamilton298]

I saw her face when Matt mentioned (an expensive) four wheel drive tractor. Priceless! LOL

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Lol we need one😂😅

[@ashyslashy5818]

why didnt you help the poor dog.... @@SailingGoodBadandUgly

[@praeliora]

You need a trim to top off the fence, just a sealed 1" x 2" to protect from water ingress into the grain.

[@thomasbrosinski6192]

Matt, more props to the "Taco". Nice move, you did everything right. Now paint the outside of the abandoned house, will enhance the entrance. Love what you're done. My wife is from Bayamon.

[@Jeremy123-y3q]

Shout out to the truck's bumper and that trailer ball for hangin on

[@jimmarshall5453]

It would have been ugly if it didn't!

[@AZ-vt7dt]

oh come on...he had the "backing plate"...............i heard some creaking

[@rookm13]

yea, step bumper hitches are rated to what? 3k with a stabilizer system and i recall him mentioning that the trailer was near 7k

[@wallywombat164]

I'm grinnin like a billy goat in a garden. I'll be with you both for as long as it takes. ❤❤❤❤

[@RobertBerko-c8u]

You guys need a sponsorship from toyota!!!! That was crazy!!! Maybe the most sketch thing I've seen in awhile... so happy everything worked out. Toyota should give you a tundra just because you showed how capable that little 4 cylinder tacoma is!!! The fence and wall looks awesome!!! Cheers you guys are doing amazing things!!!

[@daledacar3650]

You just set a new world record with a Taco, a 2 wheel drive Taco and with a a sketchy hitch for that sized travel trailer no less…. My hat is off to you, good job!!👍👏👏👏

[@papachuck6007]

as a middle aged guy that has already done everything the wrong way at least twice... good job i wont lecture. and as a frequent winter driver, it totally sucks when your vehicle turns into a toboggan. all you can do is hold on and hope for the best

[@onenuttybuddy]

Ok, now it is time to clean up around the front yard. Pickup all of the trash, the broken concrete blocks, left over blocks, excess dirt, chunks of wood, concrete demolition, concrete wood forms, old plastic containers, throw away the old boots and shoes. You have done all of this beautiful work. You want your neighbors to come around the corner and go WOW! This is really nice. They've done such a great job. This property looks so much nicer than it did before. Besides the landscaping and the sewing of some native grass, the front yard is just about complete. Get Ur Done guys!!

[@johnbode2756]

After I stained my fence using a brush, I saw on KZbin that some people dip the boards in stain before mounting them. This would cover the edges better, but the boards would need to be cut to length before mounting. Matt does a much better job of fence building that I ever could.

[@waltermorris5786]

AT ONE TIME IN MY LIFE, I bought and sold land....land speculator....One of the first points I inspected was whether or not the land flooded. You are down there by a little stream. Notice all the mountains around you? In a really rainy episode, the volume of water from those mountains can be higher than you think....Walk around the area and see if you detect any craw fish mounts or even holes. If that low land floods, they will build mounds....Next, look for debris left over from rising water, such as twigs and leaves in the lower limbs or even debris which pile up around tree trunks. Perhaps Matt already checked for leftover flood debris. Matt is extremely gifted with construction skills, but rising water is a different matter. I clearly are unaware of that particular elevation.

[@frankplopez9167]

I don't care what ANYbody says, THAT fence looks professional. But you're right. When the hurricanes come they will tear up EVERYTHING. Fingers crossed. BTW my wife loved the shot of the beautiful chickens best. Happy trails.

[@TimTimTomTom]

Looks are often deceiving.

[@KhouryNatalie]

It does look nice however it’s going to have issues which is unfortunate

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Your “hurricane” comment is naive. If you haven’t built in hurricane or tornado areas, you probably don’t understand how a storm actually creates the damage and that it isn’t ever 100% equal force being applied to the entire impact zone. My point is that there are so many variables to consider that where something you built survived a cat 4 storm but gets mauled in a cat 1 storm when built exactly the same, the fault in feeling secure comes down to ignorance. The best example of this variable being how one palm tree get ripped completely from the soil (extracted and deposited 100’ away) while another one the exact same type and size planted within feet of it remains standing in its original planted spot. Was it the difference in the storm or something unique to the trimming of the plant, how it was planted, fertilized/watered, soil conditions, it’s root system, etc. BOTTOM LINE: Every detail matters and that is why there are standards when building a structure in a zone known to get storms. FACT OF LIFE: Everybody gets to be right and everybody gets to be wrong. The proof is in the pudding and the rules get made by massive voting all tied to actuarial data managed by insurance companies and used by standards groups within the various industries that provide materials and their rated success. Those who map to those standards and use insurance are protected (held harmless against potential damage). This is the group that is going to be right whether they are or not. Everyone else is defined by their anecdotal stories. None of the votes placed on social media mean a flip….only the one of the person deciding. I like both ….being protected in certain areas of liability and running “mad dog” in others (where I self insure). It boils down to risk v reward. To each their own….hopefully, a person will own their shite and not blame others when something doesn’t work out.

[@sunhousediy4250]

At this point, I know that there's no job or task in the world of DIY that Matt cannot handle. He is the Bob Ross of DIY. Great job|(s)!

[@IEnigIMa]

Crazy. Full send Mattie. LoL ❤. That bumper on poor ole Taco…I can’t believe it held. 😮. That camper is gunna sunk Mattie. She’s gunna sink in that ground up to her axles, so I am sure you’re gunna put them 4x4 post under tires and jacks. 😊. What a great place to put that thing though. I am jealous for sure. Way to get er done!!! Concrete pad looks good. You should put them skills to use and pour another pad for your camper.. nice….loving it

[@jmm264]

Matt, you continue to amaze me. Moving the rv tung was absolutely remarkable. KZbin needs to pay you for the suspense.

[@wkw4095]

Matt makes me laugh....the dad and the fence thing was funny stuff. WTF kind of hitch set up is that on that Toyota! That can't be it even with a "backing plate"!!! LOL! You have angels watching over you guys and they're f'ing exhausted working OT keeping you alive!

[@FreedomRock44]

I like the EXCUSES I got em Preloaded!!!!!!!! Ya kill me Matt!!!!!

[@Michael-wy3lr]

I love it when Matt is taken over by his "Wing-It Wayne" alter-ego. Seriously though, nice job! You guys are awesome!

[@doncritzer2798]

Its like watching that movie "The big trailer " with Lucy and Ricky........

[@fredcauley4633]

Matt, you need to put some sort of caps on your fence post to prevent accelerated deter action from water. There are metal (think tin) caps made expressly for that purpose.

[@garymucher4082]

One thing I am sure you've both learned by now, you can never ever please everyone. So just please yourselves with your own ideas and let it be... Thumbs Up!

[@tduenchan]

Kudos to Toyota for the Tundra’s bumper surviving! Great job getting the camper to where you will be building the GBU homestead.

[@michaelcarron3418]

The Value of the property just went up $100%, looks Terrific. A lot more space for the camper good spot.

[@ibstrummin2]

my only concern for the location.. and obviously i only speculate.. is that they are already mentioning the wet clay. when they hit the rainy season.. or hurricane season.. are they going to be under water?

[@ArmandoLazo]

Man, you're ready to tow a Boeing 747 down the hill with Taco Blanco! You guys are the best! 💪👏🤟

[@barybowman1914]

Pro tip...when spraying stain someone should be following and back brushing. Works the stain into the wood so it will protect and last longer also evens the stain out...

[@eddielane9569]

If you are going to use that truck to tow your motorhome I would encourage you to check the tow weight because I believe that the RV is exceeding the tow weight of that truck. Also the bumper that you have will not hold that RV very long. I have seen people use those bumpers but it will bend it like crazy. You can have an appropriate hitch installed on your frame which is where it should be and you can have air shocks installed that way the rear end can ride at the height you need it to. Many years ago I had a Chevy Venture van and an RV and when I had the hitch installed the RV caused the van to ride real low so I had the air shocks put on that way I could tow it into the mountains. It worked great.

[@MrPeyregne]

Great job folks. I was worried the whole time while watching the video. I watch people destroy their campers and recreation vehicle while staying in RV parks from backing or towing their equipment in the parks. The phase; "Come on back until you hear expensive sound" hurts everyone.

[@bumpadug5345]

Dude and Dudess Based on all the advice on the fence!!! the solution is clear, take all the 1x 8 down then the wind can blow right through. Keep up the good entertainment and I will keep watching !!

[@MultiMelting]

I do hope you took the dog in! Would be an awsome addition to the family!

[@higgs8491]

That piece of property you move the trailer to is relatively flat for a reason... overflow from the creek that becomes a river probably made that shelf, if not land subsidence! If you build... build on super stout pilings that are cross braced. I'm thinking you should have a Flood Survey Map to see what areas of your property are zoned for flood hazard. I'm just sayin'! I worked flood claims for 25 years with the N.F.I.P. (National Flood Insurance Program) all over the USA and Virgin Islands... Coastal, inland, mountains...I can't tell you how many times the insureds would tell me, "It's never, ever flooded here before!"

[@budm9982]

I commented on this on Patreon already but forgot to say anything about your Better Help ad. You did great, Kristen. Communicated very clearly and articulately. And you never punched your fist into your hand, not even once! LOL

[@christ.8547]

that violin music...while matt was painting the fence...🥲...(classic!..🤠)

[@neutonrenda2303]

Trust your own judgement with the fence, it's really easy to do it better from the couch. If anything, it's stronger than most people build, just stand back and admire your hard work guys.❤👍

[@erStuart43]

Matt, spray the steel undersides of the trailer and soak the springs with used motor oil or at least diesel fuel. It prevents rust cheaply. Best wishes to you all.

[@JohnBlackdog]

Guys, I never thought I never thought building in the woods would be so entertaining. Believe it or not it’s much better than sailing. If you get a chance please talk about your neighbors, how far away do they live, friendly, crime, cops friendliness, etc.

[@kellputt51]

"Green Acres is the place for be.... Farm living is the life for me. Land spreadin' out so far and wide. Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside." Way to go.. love you guys.

[@benkanobe7500]

A correct size socket on your drill motor will make quick work of those trailer jacks and stabilizers.

[@TheSirensLog]

Knowing Matt, if he had the correct size, he would have used it.

[@allentate397]

Wow your truck did better than I thought it would. Good job getting it to its new home. It would be nice to see an overhead view of the road to the camper. We watch every video.

[@steveneddy9492]

ATTENTION MATTY : If you know you have a big storm coming PUT some temporary braces on fence on both sides angled to the ground with stakes.

[@MICHAELMEREDITHSR]

Ahoy folks! I was gonna spew my usual input of attempted positivity, when i saw Mr. Tomlinson's very Good advice of sealing & protecting the top of your fence boards that were cut to uniformity upon completed installation. It's comments like his, you Truly •need•. Keep up the •Good• work Mighty Matt & "Kristien". 🙏🦉

[@Chris-zo5ze]

From someone who lives on a farm in Texas... When it comes time to buy a tractor, get one bigger than you think you'll need and thank me later. Tractors are a good spot to stretch your budget because you can use them for WAY more than you'd imagine. Get one with a front end loader too.

[@DarkSevariant]

That new area is amazing. Little concerned about solar, it is in a shaded bowl. May have to put the 'solar field' a distance away into the sun, but you can run wires. That new area, is sureal...so calm, and all you're hear is the sound of the river. I'm envious. 🤩🤩🤩

[@jimmarshall5453]

Exactly.

[@valeriefrench9405]

Don’t listen to the haters

[@RamblingRodeo]

MAtt, you are KILLING ME Bro with how you re towing that trailer, OMG!

[@johnhelm7090]

Matt, I think you're part Egyptian, the way you used the strap to move the hitch over to the truck. I'm impressed!!

[@chrisranum2854]

Matt, you truly are a Red Neck. Love your videos. North Dakota appreciates you!

[@SFDearing1]

Hey Matty old boy...I can just hear the tropical environment sayin'..."hold my beer" as it anticipates the tasty snack your pine fence is gonna be! At least you're giving it your best! Carry on!

[@trailingarm63]

You're lucky, I'm amazed you didn't rip the bumper off the truck. The narrow entrance reminded me of these home boat builders who have to hire a crane to lift the completed boat out of their property. You didn't need one so I guess it's been a good week!

[@calbo4051]

Spray tan 🤣🤣🤣 that is hilarious! I think the word is out on the island among the animal community...if you want 3 squares a day, head over to Matty and Kristen's place. Looking Good GBU!

[@iMcWatch]

We went through weeks of Larry Laminato, we can deal with some more fencing 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tcauchie6527]

There is a simple trick to maneuvering an RV, just keep going until something sounds expensive. Also, the flat tire wrecked your stabilizer. If you put them down and that tire goes flat again it will get worse. Cordless drill and a socket can wind those jacks up in seconds.

[@mortenlarsen8378]

If you cut the bottom of the fence in a 45 degree angle the rain water will drib off instead of sucking into the wood. That will make the fence last longer 😊

[@rodneyross5282]

WOW I was 1st. Kristin, I for sure thought like you over the side. Matt you are better at backing than you thought you were. I am impressed. As always another great video from my most favorite couple. Have a super blessed week. Until next week. With love from Texas.

[@banzaibadger]

My new favorite homestead channel.

[@ambassadorlight3146]

Nicely done😊 easy fix on trim. If you ever want or need to pull something large like a trailer, boat, or tractor, put on a real hitch that is tied to the frame, not the bumper. It tried to pull a guy's small truck out of a snowpack with my winch. He attached the cable to his bumper hitch. We both watched as it looked like the truck was moving. Until we noticed the bumper pulled a foot away from the truck body. He rehooked the cable to the frame and pulled the truck out with little effort. So the moral is have a hitch that is tied into the frame and not the bumper. Imagine the surprise of driving along and your trailer passes you or flips you over. Also use safety chains and electric breaks on the trailer.

[@jimschnurr3512]

Having moved mobile homes you ALWAYS have a hauler that is bigger than the load. You always have more power than need and off road requires even more. With hills I often have to use crawlers.

[@TR4zest]

To inexpensively extend the life of your fence, dig a shallow trench a foot wide between the posts and fill with gravel up to the bottom edge of the boards, and design the trench to run out downhill when filled with rain. Then get epoxy and a roller and seal all the top cut exposed end grain of the boards. Your fence will thank you.

[@rondabaggett942]

I wish I had counted the back bends Matt did painting. I'm always sore after your videos. You two are in great shape!

[@Dew-Man13]

Haters gonna hate Uncle Matty.... no matter what! lol Can't wait to see the farm relocate! Don't forget hydro-electric. Now that your "down by the river". Superior to solar imo. Looking good and I think your fence is FINE! 🤙🔱

[@thomasbrosinski6192]

Love me some Uncle Matty

[@xoniwebmaster1]

The stabilizers bent when the tires deflated. They're not meant to take a large load like a jack.

[@donaldbagwell7252]

Love watching you guys, building a fence, sailing the crib, or just playing with the zoo😂. From my wife, and I, Fair skies, and following sea's

[@uptone12111]

That entrance looks so fancy shmanshy I like it

[@elainehannon4100]

Matt... you are the bomb! A work horse for sure.. I love your determination! I love watching you and Kristen making your dream come true! ♥

[@SniffieBear]

When you pour more concrete for the drive maybe consider a cattle grate with a half colvert underneath to slow the water ingress down the grade instead of the prefab plastic channel gutters.

[@davidbarker6899]

I watch a bunch of these sailing channels and u guys r number one on my list. Always excited to see what Farmer Matty is up to every Sunday, lol.

[@yayac6503]

I have all the faith in both of you 👍 keep up the great job . I bet all the negative comments are people who have never done anything like the 2 of you have .

[@craigparse1439]

6:38 That's normal. After a while, everything starts looking like "Golden Oak". I have to say that, even though I knew it would work, I was nervous about the bumper on the "Taco".

[@edaalvik7972]

Great job Matt moving your trailer. How did bear react after the big move? Kristen, you will be a beautiful bride no matter what. Wish we all could be there to witness the ceremony. ❤🎉

[@laurie2563]

You guys are a jack of all trades but that trailer hitch situation is sketchy! 😅

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Wow, what a ride Bear just had.🙀 Love your fence. Don't listen to trolls. Glad you found a nice flat area for the RV & critters. Little by little you are getting things done. Good job! 💖👍🌴🌺🪴🌸🤗🇺🇸🐱

[@hotplug56]

Bungle in the Jungle! Taco performed like a Tahoe. Never thought I would be more impressed than the Clifford install but you have exceeded that. Kudos.

[@KhouryNatalie]

I know you guys can’t save them all but that little dog looked as if it was having a hard time getting around. 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

[@californiakayaker]

Those "Little Light Bulbs" are far more pricey that one would expect. ! Great place to live in though. I can't imagine that you wouldn't have all the critters down there with you, that is probably next weeks episode ?

[@JustOutHereTinkering]

Holy crap that hitch setup is SKETCHY!!!!!

[@tgravette]

I seen y'all do some pretty crazy stuff before, but I can't believe you got away with that. See you next week.

[@philiphicks2530]

Backing up a trailer is always good for some laughs. Well done in not jack-knifing and hitting your fence/wall. Great video, makes for a wonderful Sunday morning.

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Thank you!

[@tc8209]

Backed around a curve in the road with no spotter (or assuming so since Kristen was behind the camera)… I’d agree pretty damn good job, especially for someone who isn’t a “good trailer backer upper.” 😂

[@richarddavison9137]

wow fencing FREDDY done a great job love it

[@chrisstrope695]

You did a great job on the fence. Only suggestion would be to keep the bottom out of the dirt. That's it. I use underpowered vehicles to move my trailers. You did very well. Just take it slow.

[@RichardPelleyjr]

Hey a little bit molding damage you can't beat that what a great job man proud of you

[@buffalo241]

That fence should last about 10 years as is but it will look a little rougher as each year goes by and it looks really good for now so enjoy it while you can. It's your wood post in concrete that will give way in the high winds. Next time think about using vinyl or galvanized post.

[@Lea4-22]

I was holding my breath for a while moving the trailer, but WOO HOO you did it!!

[@catman9778]

Great Job on the fence, and getting the RV down the hill. Matt You need to find a A good used Bobcat skidloade, to save your back. I'am 80 and have an 843 Bobcat, and I use it for everything. Also noticed that stream has a pretty good flow, and a Paddle Wheel driving a Generator, would power maost of you needs with Free Electricity. You Kids are doing great but you need to sail your boat once in a while, if you still have it. Loved all the fun and bad things you two had with it. Dive for for those Lobsters !! Take care and be careful, have lots of babies to help you in life. Max

[@ralphjelomono1066]

Well team in classic GBU fashion you did it again and amazed me with another project. I would have bet money the bumper was going to rip off or Matt was going to get stuck. Thankfully I was wrong and great job with the move. I love the fence and the wall. They are beautiful and will last a long time.

[@donoberley3582]

The trailer pull was kind of amazing.

[@SBoots29]

What could possibly go wrong? Getting it done the GBU way. Don't let fear get in the way. I love it. Scary. But I love it. Good luck in your new area. Cheers

[@rsherb7611]

GBU .Matt is still the beast and Kristen awesome nail biting episode!

[@MrFroglips69]

I have been following you two since the beginning of your adventures on your sailboat. Now with your latest project, I really love tuning into your new adventurers every week. Much respect and love. You guys are going a super groovy job. Tell your nay Sayers to piss off. You are a really cute couple.

[@xKR33Px]

One of your best vids. Funny, tense, a few casualties, happy ending and colorful play by play going downhill.

Wow, if that is the 4 cylinder tacoma, that camper is way too much weight. Tough little truck

[@delmanicke9228]

JERRY RIG, comes to mind in the nicest kind way I can say it. 😊 😂😂👍 ❤

[@neutonrenda2303]

[@SaYeager]

Matt you did great moving the trailer backed up great. Kristin Got a bit dramatic over nothing but good job.
