That's great Curtis, I put a hoop house up in our front yard this year for the home base plant nursery -on a very similar urban street. I now have several requests from neighbours to help them get a tunnel up in their yards. Really like the end bow design @45 and will incorporate on my next cat tunnel. Having two double rows & one walkway would be a good way to offset the cost on such a short tunnel.

The self tappers have a recommended rpm for use which is usually low that's why going full rpm doesn't work well and doing a few quick bursts did. When you pull the trigger on the impact it's trying to go from 0-3200rpm when the self tapper needs a slower few hundred rpm to catch the metal and cut through it. A drill that you can control the rpm would be a better suited tool for the job.

As they torque out, stop & reverse, back out about half the length of the screw. NOW Fowrad gear again. IF it stops again-[RINSE & REPEAT] a few times should do the trick. Also not a very good shot at what im guessing is a hardened steel screw with close threads callled a STUCTURAL SCREW. Great for connecting solid steel up to about 1/2". A drill [ESPICALLY] a cordless is a handy tool to have around. BUT, you need muscle . Most only have high R.P.M. 's High speed, low torque. Good for drywall, No good for steel. GREAT PROJECT.

Every European migrant to Australia in the 50s and 60s would partition their backyards (and sometimes their front) to grow veggies. My mum and dad grew stuff year-round. Their tomatoes were delicious (much better than store bought) and so were their onions, carrots, zucchini, pumpkin and water melons. My mum would cook up veritable feasts from all the veggies but my favourite was when she'd take the pumpkin and zucchini flowers, lightly crumb them and fry them in olive oil. Just yummy!

When using thin walled material like that, get the same mechanical head screw, but look for a self piercing tip, not self tapping. Self tapping screws make a hole that removes material. Piercing ones do not, they just spread the material and give you more to bite. I came across them while doing HVAC work. Guys like to use them because unlike the screws you're using in this video, which remove too much material to work well in wood, (if you're strapping a conduit to a beam) they pierce into pretty much any material really nice an tight. One screw fits all kinda thing, but it actually works very well! Look for really pointy self piercing screws with the machine head you like.. Try them out, you'll thank me later. :D

When purchasing homes that cost over 500k (SoCal avg) you would not want your eccentric neighbors painting their homes pink, purple, green etc...

I don't necessarily want them to, no. However, I don't spend more than 5 seconds looking at my neighbors lawns each day. They're hardly even a part of my world. If I get upset about THEIR property, it's because I chose to, not because it ACTUALLY hinders my life in any way. In other words, it's petty to complain about what other people do with THEIR property. If I want to paint my car a million colors and put a spoiler the size of a bookshelf on it, that's my business, because it's MY car. Why should my home be any different? A home is not an investment opportunity. It's a place that you and your family live in. It should be as comfortable as possible for you specifically, not for your neighbors. If you buy a home just so you can make money down the line, you're bad at investing anyway. Houses are the WORST investments you can make.

If I were to do that in my front yard, I would plant Italian cypress along the front of the property to block seeing the caterpillar greenhouse in my front yard.

Question for you. Do you ever worry about hitting a gas line? with you rebar. Or maybe you already know where they run?

All the positive feedback from people who aren't your neighbors has inspired me to raise pigs on my lot but I'll do that in my back yard. I'm thinking of slaughtering and butchering them in my driveway because it slopes towards the storm drain and there's better lighting there. Any advice?

Ever thankful for your inspiration. Managed to farm all the food I needed last year and reallocate all the money saved to start my farm. How much capital did you have to start with? I should be able to reallocate 10 000 by the end of this summer. Should I do the same for another year and save a buffer or start part time?

This is the first video I've ever come across so forgive me for my stupid. I am EXTREMELY curious why in the world you are doing this in your FRONT yard. I've never seen this done in front of a house before, especially in what appears to be a neighborhood.
@offgridcurtisstone7 жыл бұрын
To grow more food. My whole property is greenhouses, so this one is just there temporary to get those crops started. It'll be down by mid May.

obviously you would recommend these tunnels, simple, no fuss. If you're on a pretty tight budget would it be cheaper to get the materials locally and build yourself? shipping to Canada for one of these has got to be pricey?
@offgridcurtisstone7 жыл бұрын
The shipping is cheaper than you think. It was only $600 CAD with brokerage fee's to ship 300' of them here. It would be a marginal savings to do it all yourself, then you have to factor in the labour.
@rosscobosco7 жыл бұрын
Urban Farmer Curtis Stone Definitely worth investigating. I've always been a bit daunted of piecing together an entire tunnel. This seems like a great product. Thanks, really learning a lot from your videos. ✌
@thewolfin7 жыл бұрын
Building it yourself probably means a good few hours bending pipes, which if you have a motorized bender isn't so bad, but if not then you have to weigh the shipping cost against your labour time.
@rosscobosco7 жыл бұрын
True, as Curtis said also getting the bends consistent is a wee bit tricky too.

Great video! I hoped you called 411 the first year to find out the location of your gas, electric, and water lines. I have visions of people pounding rebar in their front yards. LoL My dad cut the phone line on our farm that way and had to pay to get it fixed.
