You might want to tie your platform in to the other side of the building, it does not appear those metal posts are on footings and if you have any settlement under your slap the load might cause them to punch through over time.
I love this idea! It will be so nice to have your own office especially with the baby on the way. Suggestion: add neoprene seat covers to your truck. They're awesome in all kinds of weather (mud, snow, rain, did I say mud?), dirty clothes, baby seats, toddler feet, baby snack messes…a real upholstery saver!
For today's random comment, I will offer some COMPLETELY USELESS advice: why not pour a whole heap of concrete to remove the effects of the mud. As that I know that is not the solution but I hear that comments help boost the video. So I am here to help boost the channel.
Based on a lot of other channels I have seen, like letsdig18 and diesel creek, to keep the mud from coming up through the gravel, it is best to put a layer of the special driveway fabric down to keep the mud and gravel in different layers vs mixing. otherwise, the gravel will just squish into the dirt and it becomes a slightly thicker muddy mess as you found out. Fun video though, keep up the good work.
Congratulation……..but MADAME rest is now (somewhat) obligatory . I am very happy for you and your family.😊😊😊 Bon courage and stay safe alll together.👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wonder if little Riley Jr will be as talented as his dad? The new overhead office can also double as a bedroom for little Riley Jr when he arrives? I was wondering about the 2 ft wide stair case, but as long as Courney does not try to go sideways down the stairs it should be ok!
Wow! good work guys 🙂 Just wondering why you don't have water in the plasma cutter.. The fumes are very toxic, the water absorbes almost all vaporized metal.. Keep up the good work
Excellent job as usual. Working with lumber and steel is great, not everyone has the skills or temperament to do it. Your welding skill is tremendous. Stair assembly with screws was good planning or good fortune, either way a huge time and material saver. Always enjoy the videos, Good Luck
Just rolling up the views. 4th time playing this video and I still haven't watched it all. Nice to see Bailey dog out and about. Lookin forward to more road making videos this summer.
Would the skid loader not be able to help lift the big beam for the floor? or was it too tight of quarters for that and Riley just wanted to do it himself? 🙂
Woven fabric is a great product for building roadways. Propex makes one we use on County Highway projects. You put it down first and it keeps the mud out of the aggregate. Usually the fabric is equivalent to 4" of rock and does wonders for "mud management. "
Seeing your solar panels makes me wonder if your “burry a container 1/2 in the hill to keep the batteries warm” idea worked. I’m currently using a chicken coop heater on a thermostat in my tiny insulated shed but would love a way to keep them from freezing (had a night hit -18 this winter) passively as my property can go days with no sun…
Q, You have all the machines that can help you but you lifting things by hand ? Also wouldn't it be better to take the skid steer down to your steep part of the drive to assist the truck ,use it to assist going down and to pull up the steep grade of the driveway? Now that you will have extra floor space ,what's the plan for the baby room ? obviously the mezzanine area will be exposed to wind and cold and things that happen in the workshop? I was wondering if the span of the floor joists was a tad long ,without support pole ,would a double up of a couple of the floor joists be a wise move ? Your workman skills are very good ,both of you ,big changes coming for you Stay safe
I don't know how to ask a question without letting the cat out of the bag but I can't help it, so forgive me, in looking at the configuration of you deck I'm wondering if you intend to make a hinged roof to use the deck in nice weather but lower it during the snow to shed in the winter?

controlled slide… using trailer brakes for effect…LOL..

Office and workout room? How about baby’s defrost?
We use to call that the Mud season.
You should call your place Hillbilly Manor.

My husband suggests that you put chains on the trailer tires.

Hey guys, glad to see Bailey dog. How about an update on her rehab.
Luv the mix use of steel and wood, looks awesome.
Tip of the day, keep a small tarp with your chains. Spread it out before chaining up, you will stay cleaner. Big Hugs!

Have fun carrying Jr. up those narrow stairs in a baby carrier 🙂 May have to install an elevator😜
Thought this would be the baby/child room.
As you love building things why haven't you built a log mill would have thought that would be worth its weight in gold to you guys.
I would advise that you need to make small ditches for the water to go somewhere. The ground needs to drain and it cant as its trapped.

You guys should get a snow cat
Outstanding Team work ! This is why I enjoy watching you guys. Stay Safe.
look's great! Metal and glue lams are always better.

Wow!!! Love it you guys!!!
I bet you end up using the 'inside' set of stairs more than you think.

How are you going to add a bedroom?
Riley, Glue and screw several if those floor joists tails for really superior blocks for everything
Did you ever get the track studs for the skid steer (sp) ???
congratulations on your pregnancy for both of you. wishing you both blessings.
@AmbitionStrikes, Riley, question: did you crown those floor joists?
Once again my mind is blown by how much you guys get done in such a short amount of time. I’m sure it doesn’t feel that way there but WOW! Amazing ❤
Those welds look pretty awesome …. Great job
