Ten years or 10 thousand hours is said to be required to make an expert out of someone in their chosen activity. I truly believe with the finesse that you demonstrate with the skid loader and other equipment that, you have done that and more. Something is satisfying about watching you handle logs, grade roads, or move gravel then lay it down so precisely. Well done, Mike!

[@johnking8679]

Absolutely !! You're an absolute marvel on that skid loader, Mike !! The way you unload that gravel is amazing - so evenly spread !! Don't blame you for not liking the city - just too much traffic !! Say "Hi" to Hunter and Eva for me, please !! Also, let's see Ty, your grandson - haven't seen him or his sister for ages !! Thanks.

[@UKCG_2]

Your ability to evenly lay that gravel down, particularly given the fact that you can’t see into the bucket while you’re doing it, amazes me! 😮

[@bobleone1381]

Never miss a day of Outdoors with the Morgans. Love it! God Bless you all.

[@bripeck]

I love the way you cut that geotextyle! I’ve never seen that before.

[@scottprior2809]

Hello Mike and Melissa. Scott Prior here from Central Florida. Another great video Mike. I wish they were longer. With Melissa's guidance 🙂 and your ability you two are destined to create many videos for years to come. I personally thank you both for your time,. content and sacrifice in creating your channel. I'll be a fan for many years........... Scott

[@Morgansunleashed]

Thank you Scott

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great video Mike and Melissa, glad you both had a great time in the city but sure glad you're back home. Looks great around there so let the ground freeze and button up your overcoat for that long walk to the Work and Play Building. Looking forward to lots of great videos from there. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Fred.

[@holymoly6829]

Greetings Fred Mikes latest project is looking amazing It’s good to join in with them Never miss an episode 👍👍

[@jbbrown7907]

As a kid we went to many Boston Bruuns games. We had seats right behind the glass a few times. One of our neighbors played.

[@quinnjohn3796]

So happy to see you are fans of the greatest sport on the planet. My son played a high level of Youth Hockey…. We are now huge fans of Arizona State Division 1 Hockey. They just built a new arena… If you get a chance to see any Div 1 College Hockey, don’t pass it up… Love the new building… and new things to come… Be carefull, you will run out of room and Melissa will never get her built in pool… 😂

[@wilmarh1973]

Mike, several years I took a group of kids (children) to Atlanta for an over nighter to a Word Of Life fun activity, we had to go to a Hockey game that was an expierance for me too. We were sitting just above the glass about 5-6 rows back, the puck came off the ice & traveled up into the audience, a guy 8-9 rows behind us stood up and caught it with his bare hand, then proceeded to real from the sheer speed of the puck. "It Hurt", but he went home with himself a trophy, a sore hand too! ☹😖 later after that game we had a bowling ally to go too. While they were doing that I took a good nap, Whew, did I need that❗

[@WhiteFox011]

Mike, I am with you on going to the city. I hate it. W live and worked for many years in a small town about 85 miles south of Spokane, WA. This is a big enough town for us! My office was tucked in under the grand stands of the local sports stadium. We have NEVER attended A football, or basket ball game in the 40+ yeas that we have lived here. We currently live about 10 nukes north of town, and we like it that way. As we are both in our 70s, Emergency transport is always on our minds. A year ago we had the need to call 911, and the ambulance arrived within 10 minutes of making the call. Volunteers arrive before my wife got off the phone, so we are staying right where we are. I really enjoy watching your videos, they are quite professional in content, and quality. I do have to wonder why the new pavilion does not have at least one side wall/

[@johnsullivan824]

I have went to several hockey games here in the Shreveport Bossier, LA area over the 26 years of mine and Robin's marriage. I really enjoy going to the games. Have a great day Morgan's, all of you.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Thank you very much Melissa and Mike ❤you kids are very special together

[@Morgansunleashed]

Thanks

You COVERED this topic as solid as a rock.Glad to see you ROLLIN along on this layout.

[@HallnoutMhall]

Good Friday morning Morgans and friends. Always love going to hockey games. Mike good luck hunting. Hope all are well. Be safe and we'll see you down the road......thanks

[@leokelly359]

I was out on that ice 2010 during the national disabled veterans wheelchair games in Pittsburg. several of us got to go out and meet players and see how we handled a stick👍👍

[@erickanuho4996]

You should have put the last sheet (most further piece from building) under the first sheet to prevent water from wicking under the geotextile. Kinda like roofing.

[@markparker9092]

We lived in Corpus Christi, Tx. 65 years and went to many hockey games. What a blast. It hardly ever freezes there. In Mississippi where we live now & suffer through week long 15* temps there is no hockey games. Go figure.

[@jaycroyle8761]

Ya know Mike, I have never seen anyone that's better at spreading stones evenly. Now you are going to have to put some 2RC down to knit it all together. The wood yard is really coming together, looking good. Have a day!! Jay from Pa.

[@drewwagner7985]

It's nice to see the two of you get in a date night every once in a while. Hockey is great live. IMO seeing it live completely changes the sport. Cheers.

[@chesterlauck734]

No matter what you have going on and the piles of work ahead of you, be it the High Ground Compound or the wood yard, glad to see you took time out for a "Date Night" with the lovely wife Melissa. As always, looking forward to the next in the life of the Morgan's. Thanks and stay warm

[@AllstarVentures]

Good stuff ! I thought you were going to change the lap once you had it stuck in place but……some water shedding off the roof would run over the lap and not under. Nice place 👍🏼

[@xpertg1407]

I was going to make the same comment, but my guess is he did it for a reason. He’s pretty meticulous about that sort of thing.

[@mikewatson4644]

I wondered also. I believe there was a video where he was putting the geotextile around the building that he explained why the lap needed to go under so the water would run over. Maybe he will explain in a future video.

[@jtbear70]

Go Leafs Go!

[@roberthughes2665]

I call that stuff landscape fabric. Use it under rock and mulch to keep weeds out of flower beds and landscaped areas. Never thought it tough enough to use in driveway. Huh. Great idea using the torch. I always struggle with utility knife. Learned something new today. Thanks 👍

[@albertbuikema4451]

It's different.... there's a bunch of different types of "landscape fabric" and trust me... as a landscaper for almost 20 years you would be surprised how long it takes to figure out what to use and when. Also. I don't recommend putting cloth under mulch. Mulch decomposes back to dirt and weeds grow ontop of it. Under rock yes, just so the soil doesn't mix with it but you should be cleaning it every year or 2 or the weeds will start to grow regardless.

[@roberthughes2665]

@@albertbuikema4451 Very true. Seems like weeds will grow on top no matter what. Ugh. Just dirt in the air or the mower blowing debris it's the landscaping can add up fast. Frustrating. I used to buy from box store and then bought some from nursery in bulk - feels like real cloth type fabric rather than plastcky like he used in this video. There are almost too many options. Makes my head hurt. Ha.

[@momusicfan]

Hockey footage..nice to see. Living in Superior, WI., we watch lots of college hockey. University of MN-Duluth Bulldogs have been national champs several years and are located across the bridge from us. Enjoy your channel.

[@L2FlyMN]

I & Kubota can thank you for leading me to a Kubota BX2380. We needed a replacement for our old & rapidly dying Simplicity Land Lord garden tractor, & needed the rototiller & snowblower attachments. No more belt drives!! Our neighbor has a Bobcat tractor with a bucket we can borrow any time needed, so that saved us from having to go bigger with the MX or LX models for a bucket, & no room for storage, although the Kubota LX model with the cab, is a beautiful machine!!! 😍😍😛👍👍 Maybe down the road? 🙏🙏 I understand the thing with orange, because I also have a Stihl MS 251 chainsaw. ❤️❤️

[@PurpleCollarLife]

The Pens are fun to watch. The game goes so fast in person. We went to the Penn State vs Michigan State game last weekend - our first ever Penn State game at Beaver Staduim. So much more fun than a Steelers game.

[@sunseeker6088]

Don’t want to nit-pic but always install the the geotextile like shingles…..install the lowest layer first. Increase rain run off and eliminate small stones from migrating under other layers. Thank you for another great video.

[@Morgansunleashed]

Thanks sunseeker how are you?

[@sunseeker6088]

@@Morgansunleashed All things are good…….So glad to hear that the fire starter is such a hit. Would be great to see an upcoming LIVE stream

[@oldtireman4665]

Jeez, Mike. You make a trip to the Burg sound like a trip thru the Gobi Desert. Maybe you don’t remember them good ol’ days when anyone coming in from the north had to deal with Rt. 19 and then McKnight Road down the East Street Valley to that complete mess on the Northside not to mention no Crosstown Connector. It’s a walk in the park now!

[@garysvinyldungeon2764]

I used to go see the the Baltimore Clippers a lot a teenager, my brother was 5 years older than me and he would take me with him, we also would go see the Baltimore Bullets before the went to Washington.

[@craigwilson9560]

Mike and Melissa Very nice video! Mike you have a knack for granding roadways and spreading rock. I know it take a lot of prattle, but you are a natual with the limited view! Nice to see everything come along! Great video in the city and at the Hockey Game! Glad you guys had fun!

[@bobkoontz5814]

I like the torch idea. Never thought of it. Will continue to use a knife till I get a new one.

[@BirdYoumans]

The size of the arena does indeed change perspective when the players arrive. I went to a Hawks basketball game many years ago with my son and the arena looked about normal while the early festivities were going on, but when the players came on to the floor, it's as if the whole arena shrank by a huge amount. Those guys were giants lol!

[@jamessingleton311]

good morning Morgan's and have a bless day

[@edjmcc1958]

I sure enjoy my morning coffee watching your videos.. nice work with the skid steer , wish the weather would stay nice so you could finish the rest of it, but I guess that's for spring . Nice of you to go into the city and spend some time with your bride ! 👍👍

Morning for windy Ontario Mike you got me looking at tractors.... I'll send you the bill... Pete from Canada 🇨🇦

[@jamesoncross7494]

Mike, shouldn't you put the textile down on the downhill side 1st so the water doesn't run under it, like house wrap on the side of a home? Or maybe it doesn't matter? GO BRUINS!!!!

[@tommyordoyne7461]

Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Nice work Mike. I could see your pond or "pool" as a hockey rink for the grandkids. Have a productive day.

[@kirkbrinkley6990]

I don't know anything about hockey, but I went to watch the Blues and the Red Wings play in St. Louis several years ago. The game ended in a 0-0 tie, but that was the most exciting sports event I have ever witnessed.

[@johncollins500]

Good morning M & M. I'll agree with you on one thing Mike I hate driving in big cities. Chillicothe, Ohio is too big!!!! Lol and I just can't get into to hockey. Anyway you guys needed to get out. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Give Hunter a big Hello and the dogs a pat on the head!!! Have a great day

Everything looks to be coming together very nicely Mike. TY For allowing us to be a part of your family.. much love from SE Texas Bear.. OH PS when did you say the new sawmill is expected?

[@joecasalena8263]

I used that same 12 ft wide woven geotextile on a 400 ft section of my lane that was very flat about 8 years ago and that combined with a good crown has virtually eliminated the formation of yearly pot holes.

[@paulandreassen9964]

I have to say, as a man who grew up in the 80’s I love the pants Melissa was wearing. Gotta love the bell bottoms and Melissa you look great in them!

[@bruceb.harrison3470]

Cutting that geotextile with a torch was genius!

[@dougreese9122]

I started out with a shed like yours. At first it didn’t have gutters. Thought I’d save money on the project. I learned that gutters are important. It keeps the roof runoff from blowing into and onto equipment and people. In addition I added full walls half the length on both sides to keep the elements and sunshine off the tractor and some attachments. So after some thunderstorms, sun and snow the open concept didn’t stay that way for long. Lol. I appreciate having the shed I just needed to make adjustments to counteract or minimize what weather can do to the contents of the shed. Also, the barn swallows love it lol.

Just subscribed a few days ago, really enjoy watching all that you are doing. My cousins kid plays for the Penguins, he's kind of in and out of the lineup right now but I do agree that hockey is a great sport to watch live, I've played hockey since I was 11 years old so that's about 46 years now. Hockey is huge up here in Canada. Take care

[@kenpignotti3546]

Good morning, amazing how you spread the stone!

[@woodruffwoods]

Love to go to the Pens games. We make the trip from Wilkes-Barre from time to time and make a trip to the strip district. It looks like my daughter may go to Duquesne next year so I am sure I will see more of Pittsburgh in the next 4 years.

[@daveslooking9780]

Good morning Mike. I too am a believer in the geo textile material under the rock. Only thing I would have done different is direction that you over lapped the fabric. With the rain coming of the roof it would keep the water on top of the material longer. Just my 2 cents. Have a good day.

[@triroo107]

Perfect video for “Breakfast with Morgans”. A little stone 👍, no fire wood 😢, but a nice dose of Orange … nice date night…. Have a day

Looks like yinz enjoyed the Pens game. It’s always a great time and it is faster in person vs tv. Praying Chris letang recovers fully from his stroke.

[@frankward67]

I gotta say that's pretty relaxing watching you put down all the stone.

[@russellsmith3825]

When you layout the floor for concrete I would highly suggest casting in a trench and installing grating over it where the sawdust discharges so you could install either an auger or drag chain to pull the sawdust to a collection point.

Good morning Morgan family ☕️ happy December 1st… have a blessed day

[@domatan8441]

I thought you were going to roll out the Geotextile with the bucket loader. Not that it would have been excessive show-offiness but I imagine you enjoy testing your skills to sharpen them. Perhaps frugality won out. That would have taken time and fuel.😊Thanks for the video.

[@thomasstrout1738]

I don’t follow the Penguins weekly (NH Bruins fan) but back in 2000/2001 Casey Desmith was an outstanding little goaltender on my son’s team (Rochester Blackhawks Mite A’s). Wonderful family, great parents. You got that fabric for a good price.

Nice work building up the low area. I hope that single Tree Survives as it seems the soil around the tree has been very compacted with all the equipment traffic. I know sometimes arborist recommend aerating the soil under a tree with injected water so the roots can grow, absorb water, etc.

[@ronwig7665]

I am glad you guys got out on the town to relax an enjoy your time

[@carlcarlamos9055]

Kudus for the info on geotextiles. A tie-in with the prices of stone would have been interesting. A little research and info on rollers would be nice as well. There are many folks out here with long driveways or roads on their property. Thanks for the video. Take care.

[@chucklogan9611]

To keep the water from running under your GeoTextile that you would have laid down the outside layer first and then over lapped the second row of Geo and then graveled over? Just a thought!!

Hi Mike, Melissa. Keep up the great work. I am very impressed and supportive of you and your family, however as a life long Bruins fan I have to say that I was happy with the final results of the game. I'm happy to watch the Penguins win, as long as the opponents aren't the Bruins. Sort of like the old New England saying "I always root for the Red Sox, or whoever is playing against the Yankees!"

I do so agree w you Mike on the weather. My Trailblazer travels great in the snow, never loses traction unless I make it. But, I do not like snow especially wet snow on tree limbs that breaks the limbs one power lines and I have to do wout heat and lights. I have two kerosuns, the fuel is about 6 years old and I'm sure the wick is stuck to the flue or whatever that is. The fuel can is full, what do I do w 5 gallons of old kerosene? Yep, just drop to 30° and stay there till March! Never happen here in NC. I saw y'all at the hockey game already, must have been on Instagram. I've never been to one. Thanks for sharing though, giving me my daily dose of OWTM!👍🚜❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

Would have thought the layer of geotextile closer to the building would have overlapped the one farther, and not the other way around. Water from first layer will mostly run under the second layer.
