SAYING BYE TO THE NEGLECTED FARMHOUSE ON OUR ABANDONED RAINFOREST PROPERTY!

[@dorisdoyle125]

This from a 72 year old woman, you are doing what I wanted to do but no longer can. So happy for you

[@youtubevanced4900]

I’m just going to say it, a plastic shed without a slab is going to last about as long as it takes for the first hurricane to blow through.

[@freaksord]

Right at 8:25 the view of the fence and the landscape work you two did there looks soooooooo goood!!! Well done.

[@janicedunn895]

Matt, keep listening to Kristin. She beautifully balances out your impulsive nature. A good team.

[@jimmarshall5453]

Wood directly on the ground? An open invitation to both rot and termites. We love you guys!

[@derekd1510]

For real. Get that foundation up at least a foot off the ground for airflow to reduce humidity under it and separate it from the wet ground. Concrete blocks should do the trick.

[@williamwells8672]

You should have put a better foundation down and on cement blocks. With all the rain and humidity, your fountain is going to go bad quickly.

[@stankwasny56]

And some support under the center of the floor. With your soft ground and when you put some weight in there it will sink a little especially when it rains. Cement blocks not jungle rot. I admire your energy !

[@FreeBrainChannel]

Dude I am worried for them! Rain has been really crazy in PR... PR real rainy season started in MAY! Many rivers have really overflowed and in all my life I have not seen some towns underwater like this time ... Even important highways have been affected... I just hope everything is ok, when they return from Honeymoon vacation.... I was really worried when they move the camper to lower ground! Climate change is real... and it's showing everywhere...

[@MyAltag]

The love and respect between the two of you as well as living in harmony and love with your animals is simply beautiful!

[@SuperTruthSeeker4U]

That is my feeling exactly also… They do my heart good

[@vickyoakes4584]

Starting to come together nicely. The road down to your place was the first challenge. It looks good!

[@kinbailey310]

I love all the animals running around :)

[@GoPoundSalt]

I agree, yet there are so many obligations and worries. I have a monster Ram, he is my buddy, following me everywhere.

[@bryanprehoda]

I think your candid relationship is the best part of the channel. I think letting people see that team work is just not about building things it’s growing as a couple.

[@mbaker589]

Looking good. Being away from the road is goin to be better.

[@vivanasperen3339]

Hell bent for leather….:.I’m busting up. It does not matter what you do for projects-I love the banter between the two of you.

[@eddielane9569]

If you were renting the Bobcat why are you having to repair it? That is not your responsibility that is theirs. By the way the chickens prefer roosting bars so they can get on them to sleep at night otherwise they're squatting in their own feces. That would mean you would have to build a bigger home for them. When you make a roof the top needs to extend over the sides front and back so water doesn't run down into the house. I noticed on your outbuilding that you built that you were not using blocks to get it off the ground but were using strips of wood. You want to get it off the ground with concrete blocks and cut you some shims out of treated lumber that you can use to level the building. I noticed the front 4X was sagging every time you stepped on it so you need to put a block in the center as well and maybe at the back. I guess you were using a couple of different ones that you pieced together which you have to support with blocking like you do the ends.

[@willieamgurb2392]

matts not afraid to try anything you are a lucky girl to have this man he is handyer than he lets on . humble matt

[@jasonm8419]

Keep it up, great job.

[@Tlu2000]

That isso funny how the goats are claiming the house. You guys are totally an awesome couple

[@THEPIMPJIZZ]

what a powerhouse of a man !!!! fighter and a lover. Nice couple!!!

[@jimmarshall5453]

Your permanent place for the trailer needs to be cement on top of the rock after the rock is seriously packed down, preferably by some sort of steam roller. Let the wrecker come down the road to get the bobcat as is and don't pay them a dime. They owe you big time for all the repairs, parts and labor. Any court would agree with you. I was hoping you'd leave an overhang on the roof of the new chicken coop. In the rain forest everything benefits from an overhang.

[@zzzxxzzz3248]

When the hurricane comes everything will be gone with the wind !

[@hamiltonkailah1878]

Every homestead must have a man's best friend,a dog 🐕.

[@buffalo241]

Put some rock under that shed and add concrete blocks all the way around to get it level and keep it stable.

[@oregon1232]

And perhaps anchor it so it doesn't get blown away. Crossing cables over the top and anchored into ground is common.

[@daveevans7438]

Get another one of those units and turn it into your chicken coop or goat house. Either one would love it.

[@glenmullet]

Kristen, I could tell you were just full of joy in today's episode! You're happiness and joy is contagious. I just can't stop smiling now. 😁 I hope someday to find a wife who compliments me like you compliment and synergize with Matt. I am so looking forward to following you and Matt as you continue your life journey. All the best to both of you!

[@markdonohue5977]

Just a heads up, Don’t forget to anchor it to the ground to protect it in the event of high winds.

[@tobejonsson6272]

In the future painting the subfloors all subfloors is a must

[@mikesheelar4617]

I miss the bikini days on the boat. 😂. But seriously you guys are kicking butt.

[@Arian0027]

Kristen your editing skills are amazing, top notch. I sure like your new living area, more privacy and very beautiful.

[@shaggyrandy1264]

Great music!

[@CoddiwompleAdventures]

I love that you two fuss, you show that you are human. These perfect youtubers get on my nerves.

[@victorcastrejon6679]

I love how you said “I haven’t cussed him out” I have been married for almost 20 years and my wife would agree that, if no swear words are said it’s a successful group project.

[@carlbeaver7112]

It would probably be a good idea, since you have a hill leading right to where you're setting up, to dig a trench around the camper, pad, storage, etc. and throw down some rock and perforated drain leading to the drop-off. When the rainy season comes that looks like a good place for a lot of water to accumulate. Having a dozer push some dirt up to elevate a pad would be a good idea as well.

[@jimmarshall5453]

Yes!

[@DiZZoLabs]

8:23 Wow! What a beautiful background for story time with Matt. 🥰

[@oregon1232]

Super clean & neat. Very nice.

[@hokiedoo]

Good morning landlubbers and ranch hand Bear and ranch hand crew 😊

[@MikeHursh]

My favorite shed accessory is a kegerator!

[@drewcama2488]

Kristen has such a good eye for the way things look . Where did she go wrong looking at you? LOL. No, It is a time saver to get your tools organized. And she is the luckiest girl to have a do it yourself guy like you Mat. Dam how frustrating was that bobcat! So much potential and such a let down. favorite shed accessories, ceiling hooks and racks, electricity and light.

[@Ralph2]

You two are awesome. Kristen's bubbly enthusiasm and Matt's dogged determination makes you unstoppable!

[@susanj8158]

Kristen does such a good job with the music on these videos!

[@MichaelOtis-m8y]

I like the shed I’m a shed builder but that a big Rubbermaid bowl is not rated for the winds you get so I’d think of straps to hold it downs we use hurricane cane straps in our southernmost states and we make solid wood ones. Ratchet straps to piers may help and work as well. Great job guys I have followed you from the get go of the DD and always wonder how bear is? You two are great can’t wait for the wedding and see you through the good times ahead. Stay cool stay loving stay safe

[@majbrat]

Putting up a Peg Board is super useful for organizing. You can move hooks around and hang most of your bigger tools as well as all kinds of things like hoses, wire, and small peg board shelves for little things.

[@frankplopez9167]

Just read some of the comments. Wow. For our money, You guys work great together. And I'm glad Kristin has a thick skin, though she shouldnt have to. We love you both!

[@nateabel5548]

Mat, Make sure you get some Hurricane straps over your shed.👏👍

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Great video

[@happydayz5321]

Great job guys ! Just fyi, termites LOVE plywood so unless it is marine plywood, I would be spraying for them before they eat the guts out of each sheet. It will happen.

[@williamtrusler1508]

Goats, chickens and cats-you guys are surely some kind of special! I love it.

[@marshalltille7770]

Your wife turned into your personal HOA. Ask her to put in writing the HOA rules on the land. 😆

[@kenberger1814]

Rented equipment no matter where you rent are notorious for being beat and always break down. I learned 2 things, never rent if ever possible, if you know you need it try and buy no matter what. Almost forgot, never lend it because guaranteed it will come back broke. These apply to all tools and equipment, I am s as always glad to have it when needed

[@SuperTruthSeeker4U]

Good advice because it’s true

[@earlsnapp5209]

Matt and Kristin, thank you for sharing your homestead build, and all the funny quirks 0f living in rain forest.

[@tobejonsson6272]

The sun was in my eyes is allways a good go to

[@JamesRook]

You'll like the new plastic shed. Replaced my old rotted-out wooden shed with a similar one about 3 years ago and it's been great. No more water leaks and hardly any insects. I added a cheap solar powered interior light and movable wire shelving. They really are a cost effective, relatively easy way to go.

[@tibetfruit2324]

Nice to see your steady progress working together.

[@woop2235]

I loved this episode! I watched it twice. The second time I did it so I can read all the wonderful comments 👍🏽🥰💯 all your pets look so happy 🥰✨💫⚡️❤️🌴🙏🏽

[@rezawaheed8879]

more cooly cameos with voice overs😂 i remember when cooly fell overboard !! drama

[@jimfisk4474]

Hello, you loving couple. And all of your animal friends. No technical support, but love the way. Everything is coming together with you too. I'm a felihello watching all your cats walking and wandering around, Especially that little snow white one. It likes to get in on the act. Thanks so much And look forward to your next.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@smokahontas9894]

I love when the rooster starts singing lol

[@debbydhill]

Standing in front of the fence looks like a green screen image, great job, beautiful!

[@jflefort9490]

You two were my favorite sailors and now you're my favorite homesteaders. Only question I have is will there be a housewarming/meet and greet campout one day? I'd sure love an invite. Bless you both.

[@Tlu2000]

I know you guys are going to think that this is weird, but I really like that old farmhouse and was hoping you guys would up grade it.

[@judekramer6767]

Hi folks - You two make such an amazing team. Your Love for each each, nature, wildlife and domesticated animals shine through your eyes and your smiles like rays of Light. I am looking forward to see what comes next. Namaste

[@randylyall2491]

My Kind of People ❤

[@shannanbegley8189]

She’d looks great! That bobcat would of caused me to lose it🫣 you handled it well!

[@Movieman1965]

I would paint the interior white to give better visibility inside. Same for the outer surface of the roof so it absorbs less heat from the sun.

[@NATUREFORTRESS]

You two make my day. Thank you both!

[@keithsanville2361]

Awesome!

[@philbilligmeier6522]

Flower boxes are available for that shed and a bench ,have fun

[@wdahlstrom]

Is your trailer at risk of flooding in its new location, “down there”. Flooding is a serious risk in PR. Don’t ask me how I know. Sometimes you can go 5+ years before a deluge visits your property. Ask all your neighbors about your property’s flooding history. You are making big investments now. You need a solid foundation.

[@peterdubyoski4622]

She's a goner...

[@jaysweeney2032]

This is the best show on KZbin. I try to make time to see it every week Sunday here.

[@Luckylefty118]

Hey ! I enjoy seeing your channel It funny and different . You both should think about putting out videos 2x a week . Matt keep 💪 brother....

[@rlcoop1]

I'd watch twice a week for sure!

[@tobejonsson6272]

Yup

[@looyosummers5796]

That's a good looking shed, the animals are adorable, and happy for every step forward, even the 2 steps back, because look where you live, it's beautiful.💖

[@elmarco777]

I don't want to be a downer but the bugs are going to eat the base you put down under that shed. I live in the jungle in Costa Rica and I would think the bugs are the same. you should have soaked the wood in diesel or a few coats of varathane.

[@Greg-pt7ur]

Oy, where to start. The video makes it clear it is a big mistake to leave out cross-supports under the plywood at 16". Also, lack of support under the entire structure, there should be legs down to earth at least every 16". Lastly. if the wind blows there (hint) some sort of tie-down to the ground is necessary. All is not lost though. Love seeing the progress.

[@tezdejesus8384]

I wonder about termites.

[@jimmyandlindamagner6716]

Totally agree. Here in the US Virgin Islands we call those sheds "hurricane food".

[@AllisonKuseski-ed1hn]

Your surroundings are more beautiful with each passing video ❤

[@roniwerner4598]

Shady Bobcat Omg ❤ Beautiful Shed ❤

[@s2sailingfree]

Umm, This episode reminds me of my Brother-in-Law who can take 5 thousand dollars worth of lumber then build a 2 hundred dollar shed. Knocking down a block building that could have been concrete reinforced by simply filling the blocks from the top then putting a proper roof on thus creating a Hurricane/Shelter that is not in the River Valley or Mud Slide danger zone, then erecting a plastic shed in the mosquito infested, breezeless bottom lands is Crazy. Good luck during Hurricane season.

[@georgehorning7027]

You guys had me in stiches with your banter. Thanks for the enjoyable time. Many couples could not handle these tasks, but you are making light work of it.

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Great job! Keep those chicks safe. My neighbor lost 2 chickens to a hawk in his backyard. They had to install a large covered dog kennel to house the coop & chickens in. No more free range. You guys are so good to your animals💖 They love you and it shows. ☺️

[@MrFroglips69]

Another super groovy episode. As a couple you two couldn't be anymore adorable and suited for each other. Such talented and driven builder, and your over the top love for animals is so beautiful. Really love your weekly show. Stay safe and stay groovy.

[@dannysouliotis]

I am hooked -the boat and the homestead - both on my bucket list. I wish there was a chronological way of watching the videos

[@CLSearles]

You 2 work beautiful together 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾❤️👍👍🥃🍷🥃🍷⛵️⛵️⛵️🏠🏡❤️🌻🌻🌻

[@freedomwanderer91]

You guys are true homesteaders. Great work. Way to hang in there.

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@Lea4-22]

Hang in there. Love you and the animals. Shed is awesome. I can relate to your relationship. Jack and I of 56+ years of marriage are opposite personalities. We are 83 yo and healthy no regrets.. you will have a long, life together.

[@ramiromarin4002]

Love that she'd. Happy Sunday my Friend's 😊😊😊

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

Love how all the animals wanted to get in before you had finished the job. As always great work ethic by you both well done. Looking good well done.❤❤

[@frankplopez9167]

Yes yes yes, great animal content! THANK YOU. You guys are killing it with progress. Are you going to video the wedding? And why is David up top? We didn't understand. Something about babies? Go go go guys!

[@unkalfudd]

Use what’s left from the house to build your trailer pad, just trough the busted up stuff down as backfill. Little extra labor but saves a buck. Recycling is good

[@maddog0870]

Favorite shed accessory? A bong.

Love being on this journey with you two 💕

[@TimTimTomTom]

Nice to see you got the proper gravel for the driveway! Top it with the stuff they brought you on the second delivery, the stuff with the fines/dust in it. That's what will lock it all together. Make sure the wettest areas have at least 8" of the big gravel, and drive on that a couple weeks, before topping it. Will probably have to add more before topping.

[@rcpilotjohn]

“Whatever you want. This is your build.” My, how Kristen’s attitudes are changing. I cannot imagine her ever saying that about the boat. Followed a few minutes later by “I love pointing what to do and my laborer does it.” She’s back!!!

[@gnsmk357]

L.E.D lights. one or two solar panels on pole will increase the usefulness of this build 100 fold. I had to get perits and run under lines to power ours but it is well worth it to have lights. Great job. Great Video.

[@SuperTruthSeeker4U]

Yes, getting some form of electricity to the solar panels and using LED lights is a must for any shed or workspace especially if you’re trying to charge up tools

[@albeenog2432]

The new owners are gonna appreciate all these little trinkets u are adding to the property!😎

[@domalash]

that old building looks pretty bad next to your nice new fence.. i think it was a great decision to remove it.. i can picture a driveway up there for guest vehicles who maybe can't make it down the road or back up.. some cool lights on the block wall and couple of security cameras with a sign might make it look real pro.. oh and an intercom with electric gate lock

[@wesleychriswell8429]

You and Matt did great job. That is called teeeam work 🇺🇸
