All For NOTHING! FAIL!?! SNEAK PEEKS & A Break in the RAIN

[@MrRan72]

We live in Johnson County and here you can't burn durning a burn ban. Here we have to call the non emergency number and inform the county that you're going to burn. If we fail to inform and the fire gets out of control we have to pay all expenses involved with fighting the fire. No burning during a burn ban.

[@rosabayhan810]

It’s so Awesome that you have water creaks on your land. They have special paint for metal etc

[@rosabayhan810]

You should probably think about covering your hay. It might get moldy and your animals get sick. I just Love your Family. Living the Dream

[@CynBrown]

The pond looks great.

[@thehillbillyhermit7681]

for the pillar colors, take some card stock or thick heavy paper and paint the paper the colors you want and tape them in place where you think you want them....the cap,cap edges, pillar itself. If you don't like it, paint some more paper and try a different combo

[@rt3box6tx74]

Good advice. I use recipe cards. If I dip and let them drip dry I don't need a 2nd coat.

[@rogerprewitt2215]

They make paints that are called DTM or direct to metal. Great bonding power. Pull tape before paint dries😊

[@billiehuskins8129]

I bought paint at Menards two years in a row to stain my porch it was no good. I told the man in the paint dept about. I said I think it sat out in the ocean when they had all those shipping containers that weren't moving he agreed with me . The same thing could of happened to you .

[@cindylancaster-tp5el]

Where is your rabbits. I don’t think I missed an episode. Haven’t seen the chickens either. Have a great rainy day

[@judyherman1249]

One or two videos ago on SLR Mel took us over to the rabbits and chickens. They are doing fine.

[@MosenMasoumi]

you can use a 4 inch pipe from the higher altitude and bring free water to your garden land and have nice garden and trees. plus fresh water for you animals and chickens.

[@richardgreenlaw1442]

It's always a good idea to scuff the metal door. It gives the paint a tooth, so to speak to grip to

[@jenthrasher5056]

Oh wow the beown on the side of your house looks like mud, stay safe yall. Watch for flooding, and flash floods.

[@lilystilo710]

The forest and creek looks so refreshed.

[@lorean7268]

Yes, I believe Gary has the answer to why the paint came off with the tape. My husband, Gary as well always says you must remove the tape, before the paint dries; or it will pull up the paint. I’d just touch it up.

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

We are glad for a bit of rain to help with compaction of this house pad but yeah now the amount of rain that has come and that still has to come is getting to be a washout and we need the rain to go away now. Should be good weather for next week however with the start of rifle...so have fun with that y'all.

[@54maggiemoo]

I love the goats. They are so friendly. I hope we get rain soon. It's been a while.

[@angelaprovencher7150]

After harvesting hay you're suppose to stored in a dry place to keep the rain and snow off of it If you don't it will mold and sour, which isn't good for your animals.

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

For exterior paint I actually prefer the Kilz brand paint over Behr to include using a good primer on the metal first after a decent sanding if required.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Not sure, but did you scuff up the metal with steel wool? also need to remove the tape before it dries. Just have to see. Love those goats!

[@alandixon3246]

Good morning Gary and Mellany SLR 👋

[@KrissBartlett]

Mel Fullgloss is better pain for metal and timber over hear bathrooms use it to stop it peeling

[@sheilatubbs1241]

Our pond is pretty much dry.

[@bobbilyn2]

Wipe the metal door down with Vinegar, then paint.

[@carolynland9523]

As previously mentioned, you need to buy paint made especially for metal.

[@thehillbillyhermit7681]

try scuffing the metal door with steel wool or VERY fine sandpaper/emery cloth. That will be a big help in getting the paint to stick to the metal.

[@royrbaker7721]

YOU SHOULD SAND THE PREVIOUS PAINT/ YOU CAN WIRE BRUSH THE FIRST COAT. YOU CAN PUT A WIRE BRUSH IN A DRILL.

[@lynnhamps7052]

In UK so not sure which paint brands you get there, my favoured paint for metal is always Hammerite..smooth not hammered.

[@kgonzalez5641]

You should phone a friend. Painting is kind of the Gradys' specialty, isn't it?? Gary is probably right, but you should probably have sanded it a little, too. ❤

[@howardbarber2451]

Metal door needs metal primer and metal paint. paints probaably fine but it would need primer first. Dogs are going to scratch at door. How about putting a gate on stairs to front entrance to keep them way from that area.

[@shelliekay5257]

💛🧡🤎💛🧡🤎

[@annanicole8580]

Melody I'm not sure of what your going through right now. But I can see it's something not sure if it's your health or just life in general. Just know I'm praying for you and your family. I hope whatever the situation is it's better soon.❤

[@evonneanderson7488]

well its metal door wet sand it primer it then paint it thats the way

[@glendabrekke5475]

did you lightly sand the door before painting?

[@karenbrest187]

Good morning 🤗 Rox & Ant walked down to the creek too - looks nice flowing 💦 door may be fine once dry 🤞 have a blessed day 🙏

[@brendasutterfield9834]

Good morning guys hope you’re having an amazing Start of of your week today. Hope you’re having an amazing day today love you guys ❤

[@george-ke2bf]

Hey guys

[@glendawright2721]

Scratch up or sand it suggestion

[@Hittingtheroadwithgandg]

paint looks good. ya'll are doing a great job! keep the videos coming

[@JaySwackhammer]

Mel, remove the tape before the paint dries, I’ve done the same thing.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Anytime I've ever painted an exterior metal door, I've used the paint and primer mixed paint.

[@stephenkennedy9205]

I find Behr to be an especially good paint how ever with dogs scratching I don't think it matters what you put on those nails can scratch a lot. Nice video I like Gary's little high-pitched squeak I don't want to get wet. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@rongray4847]

Hello Mel and Gary, hey Mel I like the colour on your concrete block walls, looks pretty good in the background there😉. Your write Mel white is nice but hard to keep clean. You chose a good colour, now you need the siding to compliment it for whenever your ready for it. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@ronnydowdy7432]

❤ I always enjoy the walk along. And the gary shows.

[@sandrabarrand2564]

The goats would love that area and help clean it up around the pond.

[@chandrasutton4669]

Oh yah, the pond looks great!!!😊🎉❤

[@brendamoody1309]

Happy Monday Gary an Mel.we really needed the rain. That up hill walk is a doozy. Gets you out of breath.Home just in time.Before the rain started really coming down. Byeee, guys. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍

[@denisehighberger2928]

Did you sand your door before you painted it? 8f not that's 1 of your problems.

[@alandixon3246]

👋👋

[@KrazeeFoxx735]

OMG be safe out there, see a NADO in your area. Prayers!!!

[@charlieverto-ey2bp]

Love the creek. Bet you all wish it was that deep all the time. The pond went up too that's great I know the kids love swimming in it. Beautiful land.

[@loycemarch8409]

Build permanent hand rails across.

[@bettyharper2214]

👍🦃

[@dalecherry4044]

With metal or vinyl you should first scuff the surface with steel wool or sandpaper to help the paint adhere. From what I saw the color looks great. 👍👍

[@kimnelligan9820]

Even though the paint has primer in it for metal door still needs a regular primer I found that out the hard way too

[@elainewoods6026]

They do. Have paint for exterior metal doors for metal. And then they have extra your paint for wood doors. If you get the paint from wood doors and you put it on Meadow, and it's not so much. Yeah, you don't and don't get the same. It's not good I don't believe?

[@karenspeer7378]

🙋‍♀️ Good Morning Mel and Gary!! ☕️ 🍂🌻🍁

[@charlenegrady8781]

Have a blessed day❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸

[@laurierowan1632]

Good morning 🌞

[@kentneeley4783]

Good morning Coffee… have a great day ahead and stay safe

[@margaretcooke7016]

Hi, have a great day. Love snd Blessings

[@charlieverto-ey2bp]

I painted my exterior door and I sanded it before I painted it and it's not come off anywhere, but I don't have glass on the door. Just a peep home. I think it will be ok you might have to tough up the few places is all

[@rosechastain7356]

Good afternoon Mel and Gary

[@ellymellor9265]

In the UK we have a make of paint for metal called Hammerite. That’s really good, don’t t know if it’s in US though.

[@jerriewyatt905]

All the rain is probably slowing the paint drying..if you burn during a burn ban and it gets out of control and the fire department etc has to get involved, you are liable for cost ..

[@lydiamitchell6814]

The paint can will say, can be used on metal. 😊

[@jhappygirl3072]

Ask, All Gradys about the paint issue you may have

[@kimnelligan9820]

You always have to prime with the regular primer on a metal exterior door first primer first that’s probably why it’s peeling

[@cathymorasch4164]

Stay safe today big storm coming your way.❤

[@rosefazio1859]

Did you read the can to see if there was a specific outside temperature they recommended.

[@DREWSLENS]

First 💚

[@benransom6993]

Would definitely sand the door. But it may peel later

[@MelissaMalzahn]

You need good metal paint for tge door. Automotive paint would be best. Its never good to paint during the rain. ❤❤

[@dagunnaswife]

leave any tape until the rain is gone. the paint looks dry, but its not.

[@lizmatlock9225]

Paint and raining days don’t get along.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Paint won't cure good in the rain. You need a good metal paint probably needed to scuff up the door too. I like the block color. MEL I CANT COMMENT AGAIN JUST ON A REPLY??

[@judygrimm1815]

Ugh… if you need to sand and repaint make sure you use a good binding primer first. I’m not an expert but the paint/primer combo to me is more for when you are repainting a hard to cover color .

[@DonnaKay62Illinios]

Good morning everyone😊

[@DREWSLENS]

You took my first place!😂

[@seskalarafey9285]

ohoh David and Mike is surly not happy about this much Water, too

[@stephenkennedy9205]

Try Eddie's Family Farm for goats.

[@BrendaHewitt-y1w]

Put a plate where the dogs scratch.

[@loycemarch8409]

Conside the hurricans thay tore up east coast. Happy you are on hill, mountain.

[@loycemarch8409]

Oops consider...

[@cindabuss5028]

Did you run into Ant and Rox? They just showed up the creek

[@violethobbs8638]

You got. A tornado warning coming your way

[@aaaunlimitedpowerministrie9816]

Weird? I was wondering 🤔 why or All of your Vehicles white? Do you really just love the color?

[@ItsyBitsyDreamstead]

Couldn't you use a come along to pull those stumps?
