We Saved $4000 Building Our Own Fence with Lumber We Milled

[@Woodbrew]

Incredibly grateful to have a dad that taught us practical skills growing up and is here to help us put this fence up on our property. It's so important we pass this knowledge down to our children and be patient with them so that they can learn and retain these valuable skillsets. Fence Cost Details for those interested: Roughly 250ft of fence 4x4x8 Fence Posts- $282 2x4x8 Braces- $43 80lb Bags of Concrete- $201 330ft Roll of Wire- $210 Fasteners- $30 Decorative Caps- $90 Milling the lumber- $20 in fuel and blade wear (Maybe 6 hours of milling) (Approximately $700-$1000 at the store depending on type) Cost- $876 ($3.50 / LFT) Saved over $4000 from paying a contractor.

I love that you grew up helping your dad and now he is helping you. One day your little one will be doing the same.

[@JayBates]

As a fellow southerner in the midst of a bunch of outdoor work, I hear ya. The heat came on fast this year. It feels so, anyway. The fence looks great. Adds a whole new visual dynamic to the back yard.

[@lovelace89]

I just came across your channel a week or 2 ago. I have been going back thru older videos. I’m blown away by the craftsmanship in all of ya’ll projects! Ya’ll work together so well as a team!

[@Woodbrew]

Awe welcome! And thank you so much!

[@allenharris2549]

Two young people who are going to enjoy a very prosperous life. There is no substitute for a good work ethic.

[@mikebrady7501]

Great job! We complain when it gets 80 here in Washington. Always great to have the Pops around. Miss mine everyday when his voice comes into my head “Are you going to use the right tool or what is in your hand?”

[@Woodbrew]

Awe how sweet🤗

[@BryanCorner-x3h]

That fence looks good enough to keep both the dogs and the kids at home.

[@sarahconger9227]

Hey! Roll Tide from Tuscaloosa!! Y'all are so fun to watch. I'm loving your projects and can't wait to see more. Congrats on the little one!! ❤️❤️ Oh, and best line: "What is this?!" Molly: "Alabama." 😂🤪😬

[@RumMonkeyable]

So happy you are getting several projects done before the little Woodbrew arrives! Your lives will never be the same, in a good way. A big thanks to your Dad, Pops, for helping-out! Summers in Alabama are brutal...as they are here in Texas. But, we love it..........or we wouldn't be where we are, right? Stay cool and enjoy the new fence (which by the way, is awesome) and pool! ✨🥰😍❤👏👍

[@Woodbrew]

Yes! Another project crossed off the list!

[@anissahudson5849]

I couldn't imagine how hot it is down there right now. I'm in NJ ad it's hot here now, I was outside today cleaning the backyard some to get ready foe my kids birthday parties and it too hot for me. We haven't visited my dad's side of the family in GA during the summer in years because of the heat there we always go in the spring now lol

[@RumMonkeyable]

@@anissahudson5849 👍😍🌞

[@CoastDudeDesign]

Fake Maverick… 😂 That’s great! Glad your dad is doing so good! Gotta be awesome having him there helping along on this project!

[@juliemills6716]

A great fence for the dogs. The little one on the way will laugh and play in new backyard too!

[@Mynameja]

Your dad so cool. Imagine your dad worked so hard to make sure you children survived, it so refreshing seeing you and dad work together, make your dad proud. Well done, helping dad this will give you lifetime memorise enjoy. Dad your a superstar. John uk London Ps. You got lifetime skills from dad know welldone m8.

[@Gunsmokepedia]

Looks fantastic! Im sure it feels wonderful putting the literal sweat equity into projects, even milling the wood!

[@lauravandien2363]

So… I just discovered your channel and have been bingeing it for the last few days. I love you guys! You’re so honest and down to earth..oh..and your talent and energy is amazing! Congratulations on the coming addition to your family. I hope Molly is feeling better. I Look forward to future videos.

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

I had the pleasure of working with my Dad, that was in the Cinema Industry here in the UK. Seeing you and your Dad working together was awesome, you make a great team. Molly did her part too but with those temperatures she sure had to keep cool. That fence is a great piece of craftsmanship for sure, love how you have used the boards Top and Bottom. Sending Best Wishes and Love to you both and as we say here in the UK 🇬🇧 The Bump ❤️💙xxx

[@jglakecity]

My Dad used to say no job is hard if you have the right tools. That post hole digger and concrete mixer takes away an entire day of work if not more.

[@johnkirby6547]

That fence looks great you and your dad did an amazing job 👏. Glad he is able to help you with things like this. The lighted caps on the posts will look really nice.

[@cheryltaylor107]

Turned out really nice. Great to see you and ur dad working together

[@roadtriplover.]

Wow. It really looks fantastic and it pulls your yard together so nicely. GREAT job!!!

[@jackie4588]

I’m very impressed and proud of both of you guys! I commend you both on your channel for showing young people how to putting in an effort and with some knowledge, trail and error, and making things with your hands, can actually make your house beautiful while saving money. So nice that you dad come to help too. It gives everyone, of all generations, hope that anyone can try and tackle any project on their dwelling no matter how small or big the job may be. It has been refreshing just watching your channel! Thank you!

[@meturns4666]

I found your channel a few episodes ago , I really enjoy your energy , approach and clear love for each other. A pleasure to watch , sending love and best wishes for your upcoming baby , keep looking after yourself Molly , your doing a great job .. Cheers from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 ..

[@brucewelty7684]

I love how you calculated that hypoteneuse right off the top of your head! 🤣🤣

[@Woodbrew]

Don’t let him fool ya, he did the math beforehand 🤣

[@priyanshukapoor4464]

Use the no sag hardware for the gates. Saw it in @Mrbuildit 's video. Seems great.

[@jonheath3706]

The fence is looking really great. A job well done by a really nice family. Keep em coming.

[@staceytheflipflopgirl7074]

I am very impressed with your knowledge on all the stuff yall do

[@JustMe-s6s4m]

The cowboy hat is a nice look. Fence looks great. Nest building for Woodbrew Jr. is coming along nicely.

[@Woodbrew]

Yes I think we are both nesting in our own ways🤣🤣

[@BlindFaith777]

Looks great. Love how genuine you all are. God’s blessings be upon your precious family.

[@louisnemick1939]

I thank God for the both of you and it was nice to see your Father working with you.

[@OBD01]

I wanted to see a shot of the lights at night. Getting those fence caps right now though. Fence looks really sharp!

[@leonafaryna7617]

Daddy’s are the best! Mine did almost everything himself as well ! The fence really finishes off framing the house so well 😎

[@video80634]

I hope you didn't make the mistake of filling the post holes up with dirt towards the top. Dirt will retain moisture and eventually rot the post. The post hole should be filled up with cement to ground height and slightly crowned to allow water to drain away from the post. I did mine this way 24 years ago, and still standing strong. My neighbors fence...not so much.

[@graemewoodruff9988]

Great job guy’s. Wish I could still work with my dad, cherish that time!

[@xooterFLY]

Wow! So amazing! So impressive!!!

[@NessaTorti]

I just came across your channel and I’m so happy I did! Love all your vids ❤

[@Woodbrew]

Aw thanks so much!

[@mcspaddencw]

Great job. Working in the heat is rough. Stay hydrated.

[@michellejaggard9657]

My relatives are all from Mississippi and Louisiana where my parents were born. When we would visit is was always so difficult to visit because of the humidity. I was raised in the Texas Panhandle where I still live. It is extremely dry, considered an Arid climit. Very windy nearly all the time. Our temperatures in the summer run around 90 to 105, we have one wet month, end of March to mid April. We have snow ice and blizzards in winter. Fall starts in October with our first freeze. We can still get a freeze, snow or ice in April then June starts summer with 90 degrees. We usually miss spring weather all together. I feel sorry for you about the humidity. In the summer and most of the winter we run a humidifier in our home just to be able to breath with out coughing from the air being so dry. We all get acculamated to where we live and going some place completely different can be difficult. Our area is very flat, dirt and dust storms often. No forest or trees unless someone has planted them around their home. You can see for miles and miles in all directions. I loved going to see my Grandmother in mississippi with all the trees and hills, red dirt around, It was so different from where I lived. Rain showers almost every afternoon.

[@kellykremer7431]

Wow, where you live is so different from where I live. I have lived in Northern California all my life, one day a couple of weeks ago, we had a 118, feels like 118, 0% humidity day. It feels like someone stuck you in an oven and all of everything outside is dry and crispy and dead. I can't imagine what that humidity feels like. I love watching you two, and I think the family aspect that you pull into your videos is so special and priceless. Cant wait to see what you do in the future.

[@Jfishersawmill]

That fence really looks good 😊

[@scottmorris4914]

The fence looks really good. I always like the wood on top and bottom, it frames in the wire. The caps are a nice finish and lights at each corner and gate will look great.

[@Woodbrew]

Debated on 3 boards or 2 and love the 2 board look! Glad you like it😁

[@jordanhunt47]

That cowboy hat at the end is a good look for ya, especially building fence

[@jamesbrunk9817]

Three cheers for Dad!

[@Woodbrew]

🍻Big big big help!!

[@jgg7377]

Fence turned out great! If it not straight with your eye 👁 then it’s not straight! Lol yeah you are right. Just had posts put in for a deck and them posts were not straight with my eye! Uhh! String was ran too. Good tip on the string tightening! 👍

[@d.collier_8280]

Our weather in Georgia feels exactly the same as yours. I’ve had enough for this year. I won’t be doing anymore outdoor projects until it starts cooling down. Plus, we ain’t getting no rain here…

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Great fence to keep in the dogs from ever wandering off... plus also ideal for the little one who is on there way too...🙂 Next to be made is the child's swing etc etc🙂nz*

[@RichardAdams-p3q]

Another awesome video Molly and Dylan. I can understand the weather, it's been crazy hot here in Bay County Florida.

[@Woodbrew]

Thank you! It’s pretty much unbearable hahah

[@clayterrell1580]

This looks great!

[@jronmanbuilds]

Looks really nice. Many around here just put on the white vinyl fence. I am not a fan because it stains easy when I mow and breaks easy because vinyl. Yours is 100x better.

[@Woodbrew]

I can’t imagine having to clean it either! Glad you like it😁

Great job. U have a new subscriber. Thank s for sharing ur life with us that can’t do the stuff u r doing. Too old & disabled now. But luv luv DIY ing even at my age. I need a fence but only 40+ ft. At first I thought you were using cattle panels so I thought great that way it is all ready in the shape it needs to be with out having to pull it or holding it up to nail it. Now I have to go watch the beginning of ur channel any advice about were to start? Do u have a play list for “ from the begging” ?

[@Woodbrew]

[@caseyarmstrong7064]

When you pull wire fencing, you really need an X brace at your corners, or the tension will get loose. Yo7 should e watched some metal pasture fencing before doing this

[@Woodbrew]

We aren’t pulling wire like is done on pasture. We are just pulling wrinkles out and have full dimension 1.25” boards top and bottom. The entire fence and corner are connected together so that wire would have to pull the entire fence over in order to loosen.

[@TheLudwiga]

You need his eyex neing good at looking at straight stuff on a t shirt but idk if itll fit lol

[@airmar27]

u saved 4k but did u also count ur labor time and the materials for cutting like the blades?

[@blueyedhillbilly7047]

The fence looks GREAT!!! Even with that algebraic term used to build it! LOLZ 😂 My sister is a brainiac like you, Dillon… I was/am to Calvin & Hobbs to get any of that. And Molly, I know this video is a month old but you don’t look pregnant! Do we know what y’all are having?

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

That fence looks awesome! Every time I work on a small engine for a mower or tractor, I think of the skills that my dad passed down to me. He passed away when I was in high school, but his memory and influence live on.

[@GloriaFuller-n8h]

My husband and I always enjoy your videos, and yes, a nice, wonderful fence.. Please, list some kind of address so that we can give to the baby... I know you want to keep your privacy, a P.O. box would be nice for those who would love to give..
