That stone is packing in almost like concrete around the Building!!👍👊

I don't mind side tracks buddy It's just like being family or a buddy just hanging out for the day Your doing a good job

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 It would be awesome to see the small slope landscaped and lighting with a ground “Outdoors With The Morgans” sign. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Beautiful property.

Antler rubs not horns! Lol Looking great Mike.👊🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I really do like that mini cabin. Enjoyed the video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️

Mike using the backhoe on the Tractor is an excellent choice for Your ditch or trench for Your power lines and internet service. Love the mini cabin! A great place to deer hunt! God Bless Y’all! ❤️👍🇺🇸

Yeah, you really put some good thought, effort and materials into every project. ...And about a zillion other contingencies. Plus "Thinking Forward": I love using that term! It expresses leadership

Love your videos Mike.

"The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long , feels like we're running out of time" ... Mike you certainly have a lot of iron's in the fire ... thanks for sharing the progress and the plan

Good morning Mike, Keith here in the NC foothills. Got down to 29° last night. So glad to see you. I hate when you don't post. I am addicted to your channel my friend! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mike Good Morning America have a day love from TEXAS

Good morning have a good one

Getting it done

Your projects continue to move closer to completion! That sunset was very nice...Grandson Ty has no idea how much fun awaits him! Hey Mr Hunter!

Speaking of having the right tools for the job. I purchased via your amazon store link... the 3m work tunes connect... WOW, received yesterday. What an awesome hearing protection head set. Absolutely awesome! Thank you for that. Great job on the driveway too.

That Mini Cabin will come in handy for Grandpa and TY,s first PA youth deer hunt and venison for a recipe on grandma,s channel

Lots of stuff going on Mike - thanks for the updates and inspiration.

Hey Mike, I know getting side tracked slows you down, but we love it when you get side tracked! Good stuff!

Mini cabin is looking good! Great idea with the heater!

Good afternoon Morgan's!! Mike i really don't care what you do or how you do it, just make sure you record it and share. Lol. Have a day!!

I like your new video today you did a really good job today look nice

Great video! Good to see the Mini back in the Rotation! HEY HUNTER!

Is the "mini-cabin" really just another word for "luxury deer stand"?

you have a lot of things on the go keeps you busy thanks for sharing have a great day

I have a versa lok retaining wall, you do not need a concrete footer for it, but its imperative that you have a few inches of packed crush run. Also if you go above 4 or 5 ft, you'll need to use a geogrid and it'll have to run back probably to your building, so you'll have to dig up your gravel and shell....

mike,for speed in digging the trench have mellisa sit in the driver seat and move the tractor forward for you.i do that to do a long dig with my wife,she sits there reading a book,and when we need to move i lift the outriggers,and she scoots us forward.it saves us a ton o time and effort when gigging a long run.

Good morning Mike beautiful sunset from your mini cabin. I've had the kinds of weekend you are about to have. I'm glad I'm done with it but I'm also glad I was able to have it. It could be worse. Hope all goes well. Have a wonderful weekend thanks for sharing

When you add the shrubs near the retaining wall, don't forget a few pine trees for Melissa

That rub is a deer "sign". "Mini Cabin" looks great Mike. It will be a lot memories for the grand kids. Great video

Enjoyed. Have a great day.

Good morning Mike, Melissa, and the rest of the gang! 25° here in Southeastern Pennsylvania this morning when I went out with my wife for our morning run. Indeed, sun rises and sunsets have been stunning in the last couple of weeks. Just love this time of year as we transition. God bless you all! 🙏🙏🙏

I saw many colors, blue to purple, yellow, orange, and reds of the sunset.

Great idea on the retaining wall, Mike. That's going to look real nice especially with some landscaping near the edges.

The Morgans sure help keep the economy going with all your purchases.

Mike, From a safety perspective, consider placing the propane tank and heater at the corner farthest away from the door, just in case.

You need to call Tractor Time with Tim and his Ventrec trenching unit to put in that in.

Good morning Mike, great video ! You have a little more wiggle room using the 12” bucket on the backhoe and you already have the backhoe. Laying the internet conduit in the same trench will work and less chance of interference with having 2 different in separate conduit pipes running in the trench. The Mini Cabin looks great, get it broke in good this winter!! Fill some tags! Thanks for sharing with us enjoy your weekend. Fred.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good morning Hunter ;-)

Hey Mike - I agree with you on using a backhoe or small excavator for trenching. As soon as most rental trenchers hit a big root or rock, you’ll wish you had a digging machine.

Another beautiful "November forest" sunset... love that!

👍👍👍👍👍. Two days at the mini cabin, all is well. 👍👍👍👍👍❤️💚💙💜💗

Good Morning All! FROM DALLASTOWN P.A. ! HAVE A DAY,!

That's a helluva scrape on that little tree!

Good morning from the Western Ozarks. The electric co-op contractors showed up at 7:00 to finish taking out the trees under the power line. Our view east from the house is getting better as they make progress. We had cleared the rest of the fence row a couple of years ago but had to stop when we got too near the lines. I declared victory on my other fence row clearing project yesterday. 550 yards of fence along the road with no trees, briars, or even weeds. All the posts are present and straight (more or less) and all the wires are tight and wired on. It’s been a lot of work solo but it looks good and I feel good about it. I’ll take things easier today, maybe organize the shop some and mount three sets of antlers from last year. We’ll have 7 to hang - 2 years’ worth. -- It looks like your cabin might get victory declared this weekend (finally!) too. It looks good, and I concur about the burgundy trim. Better now I think. -- We are about to have the second weekend of the Missouri rifle deer season. That’s why my sons are coming out - a weekend of hanging out hunting with dad. I’ll pick them up in KC tomorrow. Should be fun!

Hello from northcentral PA (Williamsport). Thanks for the short comment on "buck rub" - I have a few small trees in my backyard I thought animals were chewing on, but what you said makes a whole lot of sense (yes, I have a trail cam with lots of pics of bucks).

That was one ☝️ beautiful sunset there Mike, I think that the late autumnal sunsets are really the best that you will ever see and there is nothing wrong about being a Patriot, it doesn’t matter who is in charge just as long as you stay loyal to your country as I am loyal to mine and of course the world 🌎 of ours and how we look after it.

Great video Mike. This weekend running the electrical line cool ready for that video

Greetings and good morning form Hope Mills, NC. 30 Degrees right now and has dropped from 33. Berrrr. Nice idea to place combo lock on that cabin door. Keep the honest out. The sunsets here have been spectacular last couple of days and hope they keep up. Stay warm and have a day. Bundle Hunter up - to cold for just a tee shirt and shorts.

Nice sunset Mike. Hello Hunter!

"Horns"? Cows have horns, deer have antlers. 😆 had to poke at that one. You're a pretty smart guy Mike, so I was surprised to hear you say horns.

Safe yourself some work and go side by side with you electric service and internet service. If they’re both in conduit, should be fine if you give them a little space in between. It’ll be a nightmare if you ever have an electric service failure and need to dig to repair. Really enjoy the channel!

Watching in afternoon from a little bit snowy Sweden in hard northerly wind. Not a day to be outside and enjoy, but I've gathered som fallen branches in my yard. Winter is coming! :D

Good video fella. Thank you for sharing

Nice ...coming along!

The mini cabin it's really cool

Pa has some beautiful sunsets. :) We are about 1 1/2 hours north of you guys. Love watching your videos.

Had to laugh I'm not a trencher type of guy. Be blessed and stay safe

With all the logs you have, have you considered a rustic log retaining wall? You don’t have to wait for any stock to come in then and utilises what you have to hand.

Down here in the south we call a trencher a "Ditch witch". it would probably be much faster to use one, than the backhoe

Those Dots pretzels are great. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you Mike very much enjoyed this one looking forward to the mini service on the little tractor not sure if we mentioned we called our Arthur because he is only half a tractor ha ha he he

Use natural rock for a stonewall/retaining wall. Much nicer and will last forever. The Versalock style don't last very long and tend to look a bit commercial.

Here in Guyana we are partly cloudy and a very comfortable 78 degrees. Coming out of the Hot Hot weather into the comfortable "winter" weather

Hi Mike from upstate NY. How about a hunting video from the mini cabin? I sit in our woods for hours. Good mental cleansing. Happy turkey day to you guys. Enjoy!

Good morning Morgan's!! Ready to enjoy another great video this morning while having my BRCC Murder Out coffee. Hello Hunter!!

Mike you don't need a concrete footing on your retaining wall. just be sure they put enough gravel under the wall to let any water weep away after a rain. That includes enough gravel behind the wall as you go up with it, to allow for drainage. Like that washed rock or that 3" stone you use for base rock. That way it (water) won't freeze and push your wall away from its footing . Proper drainage is the best defense against movement. You can dry stack 6' to 8' high if you want. Just don't let water build up behind it. A friend

If you have an older metal milk crate that would fit a 20 pounder with ease. Mount a little less than waist high so it is an easy lift for all. Off the ground and a shorter supply hose. Have a day!

Those interlocking block make good retaining walls and look good!. Glad to see your excavating with the backhoe!, I wouldn't trench cause of roots either!. Either way you will do an excellent job!. I just got a load of 2A limestone here they call it #304 here it's getting expensive 420.00 for 19 ton. Everything is getting exspensive!. Hope you guys have a nice day!.

In Colorado they have a bush that I think 🤔 is known as a fire bush. Those give nice color. Can get on the Internet, too hot where we live probably do good where you live.

Hey mike, when you do your retaining wall ask about GEOGRID. I put up a 45ft long x 22ft long. It was a L shaped wall. 5ft high. 15years after I put it up, the wall started pushing out. I had a landscape company come and look at it, the first thing they asked is if I used geogrid, I said no. I purchased the grid fabric and did the wall myself, 4 years ago, did a footer with 2A and used 2B sandstone behind the wall with fill dirt. The geogrid holds the wall from pushing out. If you use it, you’ll have to dig that road back up that your putting the 2A on now. I would strongly recommend it. If not, you may be doing it again down the road. Ask some local landscape companies about it and google it. I also used perforated pipe at the footer as well, I put it back there the first time I did the wall too, like I said, the wall still pushed out. Something to consider. Take care!

Morning form Ms 3 sided box !wasp nest Squirrel 🐿 house I close everything and they still get in I have coated the in side with wasp spray that seems to working I do all the after hunting season thanks again for the journey Happy Thanksgiven

Speaking of rubs on #951 while you were riding through the woods I noticed some rubs starting at 5:40ish and a real nice one at 6:10. Now I seeing these on my phone and I could be wrong so don't be haters. Yes I am to dialed into the hunt....

Anchor Block is a good retaining wall that I have had in place at my house for 22 years with no movement. The stones weigh 66 lbs though!!

Coming along nicely on the hobby barn. How about laying up the retaining wall with some kind of local stone, whatever kind of stone is common in western PA for walls. Maybe contact a local stonemason. I think it would look nicer and more organic than any of the manufactured blocks.

I saw an other deer on the left side during your ride out to the mini cabin. Best regards from Dan in New Hampshire.

Enjoy your channel what type of camera did put on the cabin?

that mini cab is awesome!, nice lookin property

Mike, notice that you are still 6-8 inches below the bottom of the barn siding where you put the new driveway. What is you plan? But looking good! Rob

Chain and padlock the propane tank!

Fully understand your reasoning for digging your ditch. I did have my doubts about a “ditcher” ( I called it a Ditch Witch) and you make perfect sense. Loved the buck scrape info. Everything is looking good! Marcus from Chesapeake VA.

I'd just rake off all the fall aways around building at a nice angle and do a big rockery all planted up will all blend together in no time and make it less commercial looking than a wall more pleasing on the eye if u get me and no wall to possibly damage in time with machines n stuff

Locks only keep honest people out. The others are temporarily inconvenienced. Be well & say hey to Hunter for me.

Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 19 Nov 20.

Good morning Morgans. Enjoying some nice Basil Hayden’s before hitting the sack (after 9pm here). Was wondering about the new mystery pile of 2A limestone. Made the opening a bit confusing, was wondering if missed something in the last video. Good luck with that 60 degree high this week. Don’t think it’s been that cold here since the last ice age. Looking forward to fall and winter again.

👍👍👍

Flag still on the ranger way to go Morgan posse true Americans.

The time you would have in going and renting a trencher and hauling it back you could have the 220’ dug. I thought that was some kind of sick duck call for a second when you put that first screw in, I was like what the heck is mike doing? Lol

Side tracked is the problem I always have also Mike. Nice rub. Deer season slow here. 👍

3/4" conduit for the internet cable is good insurance for damage or upgrade ( though satellite may replace someday ). Conduit also MAY prevent the backhoe OOPS down the road. Weekend family stain party and picnic / cookout. Take care

Mike, have you considered a stamped concrete poured wall?

Mike, depends on when you plan on hunting, you may want to wait until spring to stain the railing as the smell will linger out there. And we know how keen a whitetails sniffer is

On your ratchet straps. If you fold the handle straight down it actually has a lock so it can't un ratchet, just noticed you had the handles at 90°

Good Morning from New England, Mary abd Budd

Mike-Melissa We have an alarm system to protect our property but we’re thinking of switching to SimpliSafe. Are you still happy with yours and the monitoring service you get. Thanks for your help.

Time to rent the mini excavator again..or maybe one just a bit smaller than the one you used for the bidg. All looks great.

I built a cellular based reporting alarm system that runs on a 12 volt battery. It costs $3.00 a month for 30 minutes of call time. It only calls me when there is a break in and the charges will not go over $3.00. Swap out the 12 volt battery for one with a fresh charge about once every two weeks.

You already have a tool for the job no need to rent another and spend more money. The internet likes to think you have endless money to burn on project’s

Mike, You make me laugh, Old School! Keep it up, I enjoy how you stick with what makes you comfortable. Sometimes it just reminds us of how we have been raised, if it ain't broke.... Best of luck on the electrical ditch, be safe and God Bless. Oregon Gerlach

Mike, Maybe you've already said, but what final treatment is that bottom skirt board going to get??? I'm guessing it's bothersome to many of us.
