THE END OF A CHAPTER WE’RE MOVING!

[@Daryl-qf5cu]

You guys are doing great. Be careful with your money. You have acres of plants that you can transplant. Staying with native plants is always a good thing.

[@MICHAELMEREDITHSR]

That's True Daryl. 🙏🦉 🏞️

[@loubonaparte5063]

Very true

[@moniquevelasco20]

As a landscaping designer here in Venezuela I have a few tips for you. Don't go to the city to buy plants. Look for other plant shops around your area, is usually cheaper. Unless you are looking for specific plants. Also, go around your land as I'm sure you'll be able to find amazing plants that you can use for landscaping. Also, use a blow torch to make holes for the plants on your weed fabric. It's easier. Great job guys, it looks beautiful. Well done. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼ve

[@shawnclark8094]

The fence, the entry area, the gravel, the plants, all in total, the front of your property looks amazing! Well done, you should be very proud of yourselves!

[@jason_barty]

Build a workshop/covered concrete pad so you can work better in the heat/rain, also you will have a good soild base to setup tools etc... will make construction faster and easier. You could even put a solar roof on it. 👍

[@mazevx2451]

Most underrated comment! A good place to work is invaluable

[@Theclaimjumper]

Looks great. Aren't you afraid of someone stealing them?

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Yes….and when the house is complete, the covered area will be a great pavilion and could also have an outdoor kitchen

[@Youdaboob]

Yup. A dry, secure place to continue work in bad weather and store materials behind a door and under a roof. Invaluable to a build like this. I had a huge shipping container for my build....i can %100 say it lends a huge pc of mind, not having to worry about the character of my subcontractors 24/7.....Equally great was knowing i’can bring tools home on the daily and still wouldn't have filled that beutiful 40x8x10. Once your home is done, the options for said structure /space are endless. Ours will soon house the unsightly and noisey pool equipment and suppotrt the solar array that I hope will at least provide some tangiblede savings running said equipment

[@zzzxxzzz3248]

Matt , get treatment on your eye immediately ! My thoroughbred race horse had an eye injury like yours and we did everything we could to save the eye but within a year the eye needed to be removed to save the horses life ! I feel sad for your injury because the mental depression you will experience is going to be hard on you . Get treatment NOW !

[@bogdandumitrache6269]

And if you get depressed we'll miss your whinny Matt 😂

[@MarkG-h2y]

I love palm trees but I live in Northern California on the coast where only a few varieties can thrive. I have tried 3 times to plant palm trees only to have them die the first two times - once due to winter storms and the second time to gophers. The third attempt with a Mexican Palm is now going on 5 years. I started with a tiny palm only three feet tall to keep costs down - it was still $50. Now it is twice that size and based on other Mexican Palms in the area will eventually grow to more than 30 feet high!

[@phuongvo3051]

I’m just enjoying watching your channel weekly , your property is gold land , I would build small unit later on for Airb&b , people love to stay by the natural water , jungle, your guys are working hard couple , your landscaping looks amazing , please keep your pets save from the hawks, , great channel ❤from California.

[@johncarter5576]

Something to think about: Small plants become big plants and it's fun to watch them grow.... just like babies!

[@majbrat]

My thought exactly. I also suggested last video that they take a walk around their jungle property to maybe dig up some big plants that obviously do well in that area, and transplant them out front to save money; but I'm thrifty.

[@FirstMateSailor]

Smaller plants are cheaper.

[@roytate3889]

I think it looks good but living here in Phoenix and a gardner I can tell you some of those agaves will grow much bigger typically, so the spacing should be more. If you know their names you can research spacing. That said, they are very easy to dig up and move wth little trauma compare to other plants. Small root system.

[@annewinning9723]

My thought exactly

[@annewinning9723]

What is with the obsession with fences!

[@arthurw5001]

Loved the video as always, excited to see the next phase. A recommendation/request - one thing I loved about your boat videos was the great wildlife shots - fish, turtles, etc. A fun part of what you're doing now is all the animals. The iguana segment was great, please include more. Just tack on an extra few minutes of gratuitous raw animal footage - the goats, the cats, the chickens, anything - if you can get some shots of wild birds on your property would be really cool too. Won't require a lot of editing just add it as a bonus at the end. I guarantee everyone will love it. :)

[@TopShelfOzzie]

Nothing fazes Matt, what a legend!

[@rosiegirl3558]

you live in the jungle pick plants grow your own, whats the rush. you need a house. prioritize. love the journey.

[@arrshyan]

You are a terrific comedy double act keep pushing him Kristen

[@leilamorgan8008]

You guys are very hard workers. I really like your channel.💜🌼💜🌼💜🌼💜🌼

[@2140BlackCreek]

Having gone through the plant thing with my Puerto Rican, the major things to remember are: 1. The plants will grow. 2. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT confuse the average full growth height notation on the tag. (') = feet, (") =inches. Ask me how I know.

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Lol that's too funny

[@JohnMcCarthy100]

OMG - just a scratch on your eye can be days and NIGHTS of misery - definitely get it checked - hopefully you got some good eye drops to stave off infection while it heals

[@warrenpowell6570]

It looks amazing! You should be very proud! Thanks for taking me along again!😊

[@sal_e._mander5151]

A few solar lights to light up the larger plants might look pretty cool. A nice solar light atop the fence at each side of the driveway gate would look nice. 24:34

[@jasonharris3873]

Hope your eye is ok. Eye damage is no joke. I have multiple glasses and goggles for different projects. Front is looking great. The plant nurseries can be all over the place on pricing. Definitely have to shop around.

[@jimfisk4474]

Gosh you too, It all looks so good and my God.I hope your eye is o k Matt. Love that iguana and sure hope you can tame That hawk. Can hardly wait for the house to begin And have bitter sweet Thoughts about you going back to the boat for a while. Did I Hear it right Kristen that you're pregnant?

[@a13Banger]

Gosh, I just love you guys. I have been watching for years. Hell, I think I could watch 2-3 hours a day of you guys lol. Keep being awesome humans. Love the channel!

[@hardpass9855]

Just a little info on your plants and how close you’ve planted them together. The plants you got are going to grow HUGE. They look nice now. But those cactus and palms agave get very very large. So please keep this in mind!! You don’t need MORE!! Wait and watch them grow.

[@barryhammell3478]

You guys are so much fun, Keep it up.

[@bernardinadelgado5011]

Matt and Kristin you are the best and living a dream. Doing amazing and keep up the great work. Love ❤

[@gardenofedenfruit]

Might be good to check your eye with Iridology if there is someone around your area that does that, Peace, love and fruit!

[@rossalyntownsend9535]

Been looking forward you making the garden, and it looks really nice, and yes they will grow ❤ less is more 😊

[@jimfisk4474]

I hope you. Are? And thanks so much agand see you. Next sunday.❤❤❤

[@1963RonTKiser]

The landscaping looks great. As a General Contractor, I recommend not putting trees and tall shrubs within 4' of the fence or footing line. Once they grow up, they will take the fence or the wall down if they get blown down. Just a general comment. It looks great.

[@gailkoprowski3177]

Looks fantastic!

[@ChowdahHead]

When you were on the boat you would do some cooking and drink mixing. I know you guys are busy but it would be nice to see some BBQ or stir frying and cocktails.

[@vanesOnYT]

If it's all going to have the vibe of your gate and front, it's gonna look great!

[@charlesalcott7885]

Hey Matt. Sorry to hear about getting poked in the eye! What an irritation. I hope that heals for u. I always wear my shades or cheaters when I'm doing carpentry or landscaping or any construction when I could get something in my eyes and that's cuz I learned from getting stuff in my eyes. Anyways, great video! I really liked how u guys changed the design on the front with the rocks and the plants!

[@Tim8mit]

Matt here in Canada, trailers that are parked long term usually have sun covers over the tires so the rubber doesn't rot...land scaping looks great......with the 1 st garden centre ......I think you might have been charged gringo price, so what unavoidable in Latin America

[@erhall55]

Thanks for always making me smile!

[@johnallen8094]

Where’s the sailing?

[@kennisjarvis8105]

Landscaping looks great!

[@dalehumble1922]

Love the landscaping. I bet your neighbors enjoy seeing the transformation too.

[@sly9572]

Good choice on your landscape layout design.

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

OK, lesson learned. Don't be in a hurry. Look and check prices but look at other stores before you buy. Use discernment. 🧐🤨🤗💲

[@scable-eq7bp]

Something that would look very nice and colorful out by the wall would be a few Bougainvillea Plants, they are low maint, grow quick and not bothered by any insects, the downfall is they have thorns on thorns.

[@konagirlguppies1374]

Speaking of eyes.....my neighbor got mad at me because his bougainvillea grew over onto my side of the fence and I trimmed them way back.They look beautiful as he said, but they covered the whole fence line and they were right at my dogs eye level! I love them but those thorns are wicked. Has no one invented a thornless bougainvillea yet I wonder? They would look great at your place out front tho. So many different colors.

[@daveevans7438]

Mat, have to give the plant layoit and rock formation to Kristen. It looks great and far more natural. Good job guys, looking great!

[@tamirose8562]

Wow, the landscape looks really awesome 👍

[@leannecuster1490]

If u go on the boat the trailer would be a good living space for the person keeping property and animals safe.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Matt and Kristen

[@markpeyton8538]

Sorry that you had to buy those plants. I could have given you all the plants you needed. Also plants grow 365 days a year so a small plant grows fast. I planted 100's of palms from seed 4 years ago and some are 10' now. Set up a small plant nursery and start your trees and plants now.

[@steveberkshire3804]

You guys are doing great🎉 Love what your creating!

[@rodneyross5282]

Matt taming wild animals brought back memories of when you two met LOL. Kristin looking awesome as always. When you said you were moving I was thinking back to the boat. Lots of love from Texas. God bless in all things.

[@tedtimmis8135]

I think the landscaping looks great!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Landscaping looks great Matt and Kristen

[@majbrat]

Before you start fencing off your spaces down below, consider the jungle scenery is what makes it beautiful. Not sure what your plans are, but maybe instead of solid walls, decoratove spaced out pillars with black chain link or black metal fencing between might be an idea. The eye automatically makes the black kind of disappear, so you see the jungle view beyond. Things are looking great Mowgli. ;)

[@firststrike4810]

Matt, That was cool with the iguana I'm digging it.

[@sallepe83]

Just a word of advise.. I think you should screw your fence from the from because the screws will hold it better with the head, and if you use a 2" screw is 1.25 into the 2x4...because right now there isn't much holding the planks and when they dry or get wet they will loosen up...looks amazing

[@willmc42]

Hey Matt, I had a iguanas for years, one i raised it from 12" until was slightly larger than the one you held, over 6' weighed around 12lb. It ate everything I did, including pizza and pop tarts. It pooped in the toilet plus had a doggy door to outside, laid in the bushes and trees surrounding the house. Actual guard dog mentality, no one in the hood would break in my unlocked house bcuz I had lizards running loose. They are so much like cats, sulky and moody yet willing to trade affection for food, want to be petted on it's terms.

[@michelebushnik2874]

Oh my Lord, I love the plant choices, and layout! Well done, it's beautiful. Remember not to put rock right up the stalks , leave a little breathing room all around plants as it could cause rot? Matt I was totally impressed on your iguana friend! Nature even knows you are a good man❤ Great video guys! Good wishes on your eye appointment! Thank you dearly for sharing!!!❤❤

[@Ninoy2059]

That was great announcement. Best of luck with the new project.

[@hugeblue]

Good morning from Chas.,SC = Landscaping looks terrific!

[@jpsponseller4267]

Be safe its looking great! Team work makes the dream work! Thank you for your time on this adventure!

[@VonBluesman]

Y’all need a 10X10 or bigger size canopy top tent with 4 legs that cost $60-$200.00 for shade when working in the sun. It makes a big difference. Place is looking great y’all. 😎✌️

[@randybourdon2791]

The plantings look great guys!

[@gaiabreeze]

Nothing but props. Hella job youse guys

[@jamesdunican1750]

Hi Your place is looking better and better ever week Keep it up ☘️

[@chrislouisson3749]

You guys have made a beautiful job of the property.

[@lorenzogonzalez8695]

Matt thanks for taking us on a tour of your plant buying journey, something different!!!

[@marygiesler1363]

You two are killing it! I cant wait to see your tropical paradise! Love yall! Matt BE CAREFUL!

[@geyrod1613]

Next time you want to buy plants go to one of the gardens in the island interior..Those place are the ones that growth plants and you may get sheaper prices. The cities garden buy their plants to them..I recommend places like Aibonito, Barranquitas, Comerio, Naranjito, Orocovis....

[@scottmarkham9466]

Hey Kristen , check out the tall plant with the white blooms to see if they get small blue/black berries. If they do that would be an Elderberry which is good in a syrup for colds and congestion. I took ornamental horticulture back in 77' .

[@btrent9244]

Good landscaping that compliments your great fence / wall. Looking forward to your next project and then your house. Awesome channel. 👍🇺🇸🚜👏🏻

[@Ericsson_Construction]

Matt I knew for sure as soon as I saw that little kitty you'd make a deal to bring him home with you!!

[@loisphillips5826]

The front entrance looks great. Awesome job. Love your videos.

[@MrRicardo8714]

When are you going to the boat? Need to see some pics. 😅

[@scotbownes5627]

I think that the landscaping and wall looks amazing 👍🙂

[@Jaantoenen]

Fantastic guys. Cheers

[@missdorado21]

It may be too late for a recommendation but check out Byron Pike nursery in Barceloneta. They are fabulous and priced good. They supply Sam’s and Costco with plants. Also travel with a bucket and shovel in your truck bc you can find lots of plants in the wild. I have even knocked on some doors and asked the owner if I could have a cutting/piece of their plant and they were so happy I asked. Sorry about your eye but I once got a yucca in the ear. I feel your pain.

[@timsak]

Thank you so much for sharing. The landscaping looks great, can't wait to see it grow in!

[@mwatkins2464]

The roadside is looking great. I think if you added some palm trees it would make it look even better. Maybe 3 palms, I know they are expensive but man they sure look good. Take care guys 👍🙏♥️

[@FreeAtLast4ever]

Dracaena becomes a dragon tree. It's too close to the wall they get huge planted outdoors. Love that royal palm, you'll get more seeds than you can imagine and they germinate very easily, grow like weeds. You do good work, looks great

[@brianrogers7543]

Great job guys !👊👊

[@raybrdjr]

YEARS AGO IN MY EARLY 20s across the street from a friend lived a man who trained wild hawks known as falconry. He trained hawks to hunt on command with his whistle commands. It was the coolest thing to see his hawks hunt wild rabbits!

[@stretch34318]

those rv tires will last a lot longer if you park them over some cement stepping stones. water wicks up from the ground into the tires and they rot much faster. the 12" ones will fit in between the two tires and one behind the rear tire, then roll it back right on top of them. The 16" one are too big to fit between the two tires.

[@MrSki-tyvm]

You might want a tractor, it sure would make you life easier. Lifting, mowing, plowing, tilling, making paths, shaping ground, mixing compost and the list goes on to include construction. Once you get one making a pole barn, shop, house and other things becomes a lot easier.

[@louis220558]

The plants looks fantastic in their places

[@Philc231]

Instant gardens are too expensive. There has to be some plants on your land you can transplant.

[@MrFroglips69]

Love following your adventures and building progress. You two are so adorable and cute and funny, and oh yes, hard working. PS The landscaping I saw looked so groovy. And your critter are amazing. You will soon have a home zoo.

[@vlm-bc7zn]

It gives a southwest look in the middle of the jungle 🌵 🌴

[@gertpetersson3570]

It looks really good.

[@mikefromnebraska]

Same here in States the bigger the plant the more it costs. They will all grow to the same height eventually. And prices do vary from business to business same as the states

[@PosidenSiren]

Excellent look with the landscaping guys. The whole frontage is terrific, natural looking but 5 🌟 classy. Exciting times ahead, look forward to seeing the mobile home decking areas Kristen has designed. Plunge pool/hot tub addition would be a nice addition 😂 Matty could even manage a full scale swimming pool I'm sure. Got to keep the guys busy he he! Hope Bear is doing good 😻 Thank you as always for another georgous video update. Best channel on KZbin ❤

[@shellsea9520]

❤ AS A Landscape garden designer I am IMPRESSED and THINK your placement and DESIGN in it all has come together VERY well ,with good plant choices for what U wanted to achieve 🤩🥰💥💓 + Really ❤️ your animal skills Matt ,Mate u are a animal Whisper 😊

[@richardharvey3104]

Oxy clean powder with dawn dishwasher liquid works well for cleaning the RV roof.

[@MarkSeymour-g7o]

Looking good guys well done, all your hard work is coming together.

[@bernardinadelgado5011]

Everything is looking amazing ❤blessings to you both ❤

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Thinking ahead about landscaping/security big rocks in front of the fence keeps those from driving up on the gravel, breech the fences or break through them. They look nice and give you extra security. 🤗😁💖

[@TheMatthewLeiby]

You guys are great. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@susanhighfield8284]

I think your landscaping looks awesome! You need some Bougainvillea vine, so you'd have those gorgeous Fuchsia blooms cascading over some of the top of your fence. Google it. I can't wait to see the next project. Sorry bout your eye. 🥺

[@chiefcliff]

Like seeing the town and places you go...

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

Sailing through this task and that, you are doing well. Keep up the good work and your charted pathway. Tack your way to whatever life throws at you, and your port will always welcome you.

[@Hives2honeyfarm]

You should consider building a nice house that matches that fence, right where you tore the old one down. There is a reason people build on the high ground.

[@drewunderwood2859]

So very few the opportunities to wear an Eye patch, along comes a Yucca plant. Maybe a Salvaged Boat might be a great build for a Home and a Cool Air BNB.

[@firststrike4810]

Kristen, I'm excited for your plans to develop the property, when you guys decide what the Home is going to look like I would really like to know (wood or stone)?

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

The front looks amazing Matt. The plants really finish it off. Given the cost of them I hope you don’t lose any.😊😊

[@zacharyrivera566]

Looking forward to what's coming 😊 .

[@natal777]

You guys did an awsome job looks fantastic !
