My husband and I love watching. We wondered when you will have more video of the Australian that you had on previously doing some of the things he had never done before.
I have a metal carport that I bought originally while building our house to protect our vehicles as this area gets a lot of hail. Had it completed just in time for a major hailstorm. Later I had to move it to comply with easements and we decided to use it to store our firewood. The area we placed it was on a side hill and I had a couple of loads of 3/4 minus brought in and graded with a d6. That was 6 years ago. well the low side of the hill settled about 8". so I had my excavation contractor bring a load of 3/4 minus and he loaned me his Skidsteer. Well its a John Deere 336. A monster. Manuevering it in the 20x20 carport was a challenge but I managed to get the material in and leveled out. Now mind you, I haven't run a skidsteer in 40 years and everything went well.... until I started spreading the balance of the material on the drive. I didn't even feel it when I caved the. corner of the carport in :). So two 10' panels and a little metal straightening. is in my future. A much smaller machine would have been easier. The bucket on this is 96".
Hey Mike - Not sure how solid the ramp is on your landscape trailer but thought I'd share an experience I had with my old BX and a heavy duty PJ landscape trailer with 2" square tubing frame and wire mesh. After loading and unloading the tractor twice the side to side part of the ramp frame closest to the deck of the trailer bent due to the weight of the tractor. IF you do use your landscape trailer for moving the BX - something to keep in mind. Although sketchy - the trailer you used seems pretty deadly and leaves you with room to carry any other implements you want with no concerns of overloading the trailer!
I really like this format - even the music matches the content. I think you're on to something here. Transitions are great, having good timing, so the viewer doesn't get bored and speed on ahead. I hear you about the door slamming. I have a grandson who I had to teach how to shut a car door and house doors and then have him practice these lessons. I don't think he will ever forget his grandfather's lessons on the proper way to close a door. Please have your daughter do all your commercials - very, very convincing, and the third-party influence was over the top.
Hello Morgan family, I love your videos and you get thumbs up on all of them from me. I have a suggestion about your chicken coup fence too. Extend the fence below grade as well as outside the fence and still below grade of a fine mesh, heavy wire fence so critters can't dig a hole and crawl inside where the chickens are.
Here in Wisconsin you have to have the tractor chained down. And then also each attachment chain down or equivalent ratchet straps. That would include the loader as one attachment and the brush hog as another attachment. That’s just how states very and how you have to have your load secured.
Mike, It looks like you could grind off the two inner clips on each side of the trailer. Add two new pcs of cold rolled round bar long enough to reach the clips you removed after sliding the ramps till they hit the existing clips still attached. Then weld the clips on that you removed. From the video it looks like that would give you another 3 to 4 inches on each side. Just need to get a hold of one of your buddies with a welder. If not get in touch with me and I'll weld them on.
Good evening Morgans and friends. Great job Eva, your a natural. Mike the audio sounded different in the first part. Hope all are well, safe and healthy. Almost the weekend! Have a day.
Melissa, I'm with ya on slammin doors I do it as well. I have figured out why I do it, its because the car I drive all the time has really heavy doors and when I get in my husbands truck I just shut like normal for me and I get THAT look lol That works in reverse also, when my hubs is the passenger in my car and gets out I'm telling him to reshut the door because my car tells me the door is ajar. I think it's just what we are use to :)
Daughter Eva did great with that video. All those guest shots on Outdoors with the Morgans have paid off. If she likes doing things like that, she has a big future in the media. Way to go Eva!!!
I really enjoyed your conversation today concerning the slamming of car doors. My wife and brother in law both slam the doors and I just cringe every time they do it! I say something but they always deny doing it! Really enjoy your site. Take care and God bless.
I hated LED lights when I first started using them, I was racoon hunting and bought an expensive hunting light, it was a super bright led with 4 different colors, I fell and stumbled all over the mountains trying to get used to that white light, I was a coal miner and hunted for years with a mining light with a bulb and halogen. It took forever for my eyes to adjust to the LED, now I’ve changed all my shop lights and garage lights to LED. They save a lot of money!
Eva did a great job! Already made my first order. Your banter with Melissa always makes me smile. And I have to say, the chickens watching literally made me laugh out loud. Keep'em coming, we'll keep watching.
A quick thought. Are you going to Burie some hardware cloth , 1/2 mesh , under the bottom of your fence around the chicken run. Just something to think about. It would help keep critters , fox , coons, mink, weasels, ect from digging under in order to get to your chickens. As someone who knows, given time critters will dig under.. You seem to cover your bases pretty good but I was just wondering.
Yep I know exactly what you mean Mike. It passes me off anytime someone does that to one of my vehicles and they don't get it.i said it eventually loosens the door and messes the hinges up and then the door squeaks and crunches and then like you said they throw the doors open and right into the car next to me and that really pisses me off when someone else dings my doors up. I never slam any door and especially some one else's doors weather car or home. And also I don't let anyone drive my vehicles because they tend not to watch out for pot holes or bad bumps or things in the road. I always take care of my vehicles and anything I own actually like your washing your machines you've bought .keep them nice and the value is better when selling or trading them. Another thing that I've never understood was why people by lawn tractors and just leave them outside all yr long just sitting in the yard. Then they weather terribly and wonder why they won't start when they need it. They never service or maintain them . Drives me nuts. But the way to beat that is open the door for mellisa and then open it for her when you get to your destination that way your always the one that shuts the doors LOL . Yes Eva did really good with the sponsor commercial. Shes a natural and I agree with others that she should start her own channel but she probably doesn't want to be slowed down by doing all that camera stuff.
Mike!!! Check all of the welds on that Quality trailer. I just picked one up from Pat at Bennett Trailers last week and they missed some crucial welds underneath where the frame connects to the 2’ dovetail. Pats taking care of me but he said they have had some new guys at the Quality plant that have been missing things.(welds and paint) I had mine repaired today. Just a heads up.
Ankeny, Iowa (Home of John Deere Des Moines Works, Casey's Gas/Convenience store, Tone's Spices, Toro warehouise, HyVee Frozen distribution Center, and so much more). Gas price $3.35 gallon
9:00 I could not agree with you more, it cost me $10K to insulate, airseal and firestop, my 28x48 garage with 12.5' celinings, staircase, and second floor attic. Fiberglass R21 Batt walls, R38 between Floors, and R49 blown in the attic cathedral ceiling including rafter vents. While I am sure that I could have bought materials for less than that price, it was hard to find it in stock and even harder to plan the various materials. They showed up with two big box trucks and was done less than two days all to code and tight. It is well worth contracting out a big messy job like that to someone who does it everyday. Doing your own electrical and plumbing is easier and will save allot more money than doing your own insulation...
I love the pause and edit just at the Moment you explain to Melissa that Hunter has an excuse, but she does not.......Love your channel and thanks for the new episode!
Mike, is it possible to extend the ramp sliding poles toward the center of the trailer? How about a little video of the electrical rough in from the building? We might get some good ideas.
Yep I was thinking the same thing with possibly extending the rod the ramps slide in all the way to the center. That's the one flaw of bigger trailers like that most don't slide all the way in where you need them at times.
Preach it brother Mike. My wife and 26 year old daughter (also on the spectrum) are door slammers. I still think Melissa deserves a pool even if she is a slammer. Maybe a pool would help her work off some of her door slamming energy.
Enjoyed your video as usual. I believe they make led equivalents for almost all halogen bulbs. Very cheap compared to replacing fixtures. Bet you don't get many sponsored video complaints with Eva doing the videos. Great job!
My wife and daughters are all light door closers. Door is ajar at least half the time lol By the way daughter Eva crushed that commercial I think she might be getting some more work based on that one😊
Great video & story time, Eva did a great sponsor add assisted by her friend, enjoyed the whole video camera work and editing very well done seamless and entertaining👍👍👍👍
I wrote a good one but didn’t get saved so here’s a sorter saying. Melissa when working around a nail gun please wear your safety glasses. Nail guns sometimes ricochet and hate to see what might happen. Stay safe building you chicken run 🏃♂️. From a loyal viewer.
Hey Mike: good to see you have not forgot how to use a shovel 💪 and you forgot to use the plate compactor, you don’t want the birds to trip and lay broken eggs 😆 love you all 😇
Your best videos include Melissa. She's HEE-LARRY-US and adds so much to your content. Thanks for the quality you put into your videos much appreciated
Great video Mike. You have some great sponsors and you do an excellent on the commerical, but I have tell you the Academy Award will go to Eva. And the crowd goes wild. Y'all have a blessed day
Door slamming? I am with you on this one, Mike. I once owned a car with soft (i.e., self) closing doors. It drove me nuts when friends and family members would slam those doors.
Eva, you did a great job on your portion of the video. You just seem so comfortable in front of the camera. Also, i hope you have great ( if I remember correctly) senior year. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY
Back in the day when hitch hiking was a national past time, my one objection, and I didn't mind giving someone a lift is when they used to exit the car they would slam the door. So, after a while I used to say to them, please don't slam the door. For example I had a 66 Chevelle convertible, Marina Blue Metallic with a white convertible top, 327 4 spd and loved my car. Unfortunately, today no one picks up a hitch hiker. Back then it was a much more trusting environment, not to make people bad today, but it's just not the same. Before I drove, we would think nothing of hitch hiking anywhere. Love your guys channel.
Good to see Ms Eva! I went with the LEDs around the house a few years ago. Like you we had halogens on the four corners that were a constant job relamping. I replaced those and kept going, lol. I've got solar walkway lights to light up the sidewalk. It gets dark here in the country.
I believe I would modify the ramps so they could move closer together by at least 6 inches each. Maybe more so they would butt against each other in the middle of the trailer.
Don’t know if it’s already been said but one option for the BX on that trailer is wheel spacers on the BX. More tire on the ramp and better stability on the hills. Not sure if they make them for the front though.
I was looking at Texas Pride's 30K lowboy trailer and thought that would work out good for you as it could handle both the excavator and skid steer on one load. And of course, pull it with your new F650/750 dump [Redford? :-)
Eva, wow, nice job on the sponsor! Mike you are correct on the insulation job and the chicken run is looking good. Melissa, I raised a special son also, not Autistic but so many aspects of life were planned around him. Mike you have such an array of equipment from which to choose, makes it fun to watch. Melissa, what breed are the chickens? Mike. Looking forward to more from OWTM’s! Great job!
As a retired electrician, it’s always nice to see young blood in the trade. I was wondering at 21 , what was his training like and is he licensed? I started at 16 working after school and in the summer and was able to pass my tests and received my license at age 20. I went onto get my masters license a few years later.
I’m retired electrician also and I’ve been waiting on the electrical part . I miss working, my problem is I’m disabled due to a scaffold builder . But I do what I can as I can .
I'm ALWAYS encouraged when I see young people picking up a good construction-type trade and then become qualified and certified, as well as licensed in whatever trade they choose !!
I'm with Mike on the door slammers. My boys always used to slam until I had them hold the handle when closing. Kinda uncomfortable to slam when your hand is holding the handle!!😮 Can't break my wife of slamming yet.😄
Eva would did a great job promoting Catalina Crunch. She looks like she is recovering very well from her earlier surgery, good to see. Mike your deck on your hauling trailer looks great, was curious, does it get slippery when it is wet? Building is looking great and area around the building is coming together very nicely. Prayers and be safe out there, farmer rod.
If you want the run to be predator proof you'll need a buried skirt of wire going out about 18" to keep diggers out. And 1.5' - 2' high 1/2" hardware cloth around the bottom starting at ground level to keep the raccoons from reaching in and killing a chicken. If you want it can be the same piece of wire with a 3' tall roll.
I have almost 30 different Superbrightled lights around my place here in Alaska. From front LED bars on my F350s to smaller single 60degree/120degree spots on 30 foot vertical poles to light up the 5,000 square foot dog kennel. Some are 10 years old and have wreathed massive winter storms and minus 40 below temperatures. Great choice.... That being said, I would keep n eye out for condensation inside the lights.
Chicken coop is looking good. Exterior lights will be ridiculously bright 😎. Eva is carrying on the Morgan tradition of sponsorship. Great job Eva. Was that a chicken seesaw I saw? Stay safe. Hello to Hunter also.
Just curious about what you are going to do about predators burring under the wire. I didn't know if the shale would deter them or not. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
You make a good point. The best thing to do is dig a shallow trench at the point where the fence will meet the ground, maybe 8 to 12 inches deep. Now get the bottom of the fence down in the trench and backfill it with dirt, ready mix concrete, or soil cement. Foxes know how to dig and they do it well because that is how they get a majority of their food.
Mike, can’t wait to see the walkthrough when the building is done. I’m starting to gather supplies for electric in my barn, and would like to see what you thought of for both the shop and the living space.
you might want to see what load strength is for PSP. you could make a slide out ramp under the deck or on top latching on the current ramp supports. richard in NW OK.
Again i suggest cutting holes and build nesting boxes on the outside. Now you step on dirty chicken crap straw when gathering eggs everyday. Just an experienced suggestion.
