Finishing Site Preparations for my Dream Shop! 

Nothing to be sorry about. A few hiccups in the video is not gonna hurt anybody. But of course some are going to find something to bitch about no matter what!

Going to be a Killer Shop

dont you just love technology , well sometimes lol

I like the description "Be sure to watch from the begging!" Oh, I bought decals! I did!

lol I should have read this comment first. I was like what the heck did the video freeze.

Your land your freedom. You learn without being scared.

I think jumping in and out of the various pieces of equipment over and over must drag about 1/2 of the wind out of your sails. An extra operator would really help with that and a 3rd operator would make that into dream work. I guess you can't have a crew like 'putting in the pad day' every day.

Andrew Camarata comes to mind

If any of you paid attention, he has been building his inventory UP for 2-3 years in preparation for this MAN CAVE project..! By those Ritchie Brothers Auctions... hot dog...

The older you get, the bigger your toys get to be...

@Burt Nelson I'm thinking the same thing as a 70-year-old. Always wanted to have heavy equipment so that I could play in the dirt ....LOL

My personal fave is riding the headache rack on the dump truck! Always WANTED to do that as a kid! NOW I CAN! LOL

Any view makes me happy ! 🤗

Me to,from the inside of the cab i see my work every day😆

Hi Matt and Gordon, Also from Australia, endorse Matts comments wholeheartedly, hard work and determination are tenants of life. Stan Pedro.

@@peterhirons4874 Seconded from an 80 year old now retired to Spain. I grafted, so did my wife, self employed. Would do it again, well most of it anyway

Too many think a foul mouth makes them bigger I suppose.

When he was moving it and it looked like it was going to fall I was like "Oh CraP!" haha

@@scottcol23 My thoughts was of a punchline of an old school joke "Dont Let it Ripple!"

GOT to have a reading room! How else can you keep up with the comics?

I thought that was the broom closet! I didn’t see any Moon sign on the door.

@@FassEddie Its for daytime use. You put the moon on tbe night-use one.

@@FassEddie 🙂I didn't see a door.... 'course, I might not have looked properly...

I thought that little red building looked supper inportant.

Thank you!

@@DieselCreek Your welcome!

@@DieselCreek quite a beautiful setting for your new workshop matt looking Forward to the next video !! Watching from donegal in ireland. 😀

@@DieselCreek Great video, I realized from the camera footage in the dump truck bed that the Ford crane truck was at the entrance of your property with your international truck for parts. Does it still run? I was wondering why you were not using it to fix the "free" diesel roller. We haven't seen Eva in the videos for a while. Maybe if you would teach her how to use the skid steer then she could help you out with a future job similar to this one. If she is interested it would be a great idea. Once the shop is built you should try to fix the jeep CJ-5 for her. Then you could fix the autocars to haul the komatsu dozer, the cat 977k or the unit dragline. How about the Cat 977? where is it? If the Ford crane truck still works then maybe you could use it to fix the $500 dump truck. Where is the Humvee I haven't seen it in months or did you sell it? Just wondering what drone do you use? Do you still have the DJI Phantom 4 that you recorded the pipeline video 3 years ago? Do you still plan on restoring your tiny Suzuki motorcycle that you showed in the cold start video? Are you planning on making a go-kart/ buggy with either the snowmobile engine or the VW diesel pickup engine. Thanks for putting out enjoyable content. Thanks

My wife likes it about as much as I like watching a sewing video. And white collars probably feel the same. Reality, there's fewer and fewer who grew up around this stuff that have the interest. Thankfully there's just enough who played on dirt piles at construction sites and had woods and fields to explore and I'm glad I'm one.

Actually for those of us who have made a career in this field it's somewhat amusing and poiintless. I will watch a bit of these vids occasionally and while i have to admit that he is a very hard worker it's smoke mirrors and yt crap. To have a fleet of obsolete and fairly unproductive equipment to do actual work with is a waste of time. One of the previous vids was " did I get burned at the auction? ". No ,someone sent some old piece of junk to the auction and some goober got excited about it and bought it cheap. Fair exchange. If he just needed a roller to do a job he could have rented one ,used it for a day finished the job and sent it back. For a lot less time and money. But theres no yt money to be made that way. So he seems to be a nice enough guy but the business here is making youtube content. The equipment is just the props used to make the vids.

@@Calmarsden You are correct but isn’t that the point of loads of yt channels. Someone filming himself doing something that normally you would get a contractor in to do. Some of us that aren’t \ weren’t in this game find it interesting how these big old machines work. Big construction firms don’t film their work as it takes too much time and therefore money. Each to their own I suppose.

Rate its going that will be 6 more vids. Sorry but I remember when the shop was going to be put in, in March I believe he said. Two weeks to July 4th!

@@cjjohnson1821 You can't control the weather and when the equipment brakes it breakes.

@@cjjohnson1821 stop being a Karen

@@karen7366 No worries. Can take a hint. I'm out.

@@cjjohnson1821 I’m not the hold up in the equation. I’ll explain in the next video!

I'm so old I have dug holes for those.

Most important piece of infrastructure.

Khazi……

It's a shithouse!!

That big old Kobelco sure does earn its keep. A great investment for sure…

Already planning on that!

Well he said a few in that video

Had to say that the prep work is going great. Glad you could add on that lean to. Pretty sly REVEAL of the little red shed finding a new home. Sorry, I meant hole. Bombs away pal.👍

@@jimbo5056 LOL! "Definitely need that!" Oh, you mean the shithouse? Yeah, you're going to need that!

😆 true

Most repairs are simple and can be done reasonably cheap...but sometimes you gotta pay to do it right... owning anything means maintenance and breakdowns..no sense crying you gotta deal with it...buying used is usually buying something ready to break ( why it is being sold )

i bought acreage ( 6+ acres ) with a big house and 3 shops on it...One floor heated insulated shop ( 28 x 45 ) 12 ft walls... one 48x64 pole shop ..uninsulated and not heated but metal siding and roofs - 14 ft walls.. one smaller wooden shop 16x30 with 12 ft ceiling ..metal siding over the wood...non insulated and not heated..has wooden floors i have to remove one day... also have 5 grain bins which i use for storage as they are dry and concrete bases... they are 12-14 round and 14-16 ft high...big sheds...lol it was cheaper than a house in city taxes are cheaper and close to city and bigger town... nice life and options now in future... over a smal yard and tight packed community... we even get cheap eggs and chickens and other stuff now...5 minutes away ( 1 mile ) and no neighbours for miles in 3 directions

@@garymallard4699 sounds like you got it all, makes me envious, all I have is 2 and a half car garage, am retired tech from a municipality, they were okay with us using the shop for personal stuff, boy do I miss it.

@@4knanapapa thanks..took me awhile to get this place..i should have had this before turning 20....i worked at places that i could use what they had too... i just bought a hoist/lift to add to my shop..turning 65. and tired of laying on the shop floor..i spent years working with lifts. .gotta think about when i get 80+...lol

I was thinking the same thing, watching him run the Kobelco. Really smooth and articulate. Reminded me of letsdig18 on his Volvo.

That would be a must if I was building a shop. Laying on your back is no fun!

Gonna have those two around better make it a triple wide hole for the outhouse.

I'm thinking the little red shed is indispensable being an outhouse. Also, just saw a bio video of Matt on another RU-vid channel. Thought it was going to be a bit derogatory but turned out to be fairly flattering. Wondering if Matt saw and what he thought about it.

I think the bio channel was "Moneygarage"

Gonna fix that….0

@@DieselCreek Homemade???

ME TOO. Our local park had a huge sandbox that regularly was terraformed by my 'crew' lol

Me Too in Southern California around 1955!

My Favorite toys were a Clam Shell Crane and the Dump Truck. I can't remember the makes of toys from the 50's, but they were All Iron and rubber tires; no plastic! My Grandson has them now!

Yes indeed. In the 50’s my friends and I had fun playing with our trucks, graders and such. In the mid 60’s I got to operate the real equipment. Big boy toys it was. Then in 69 the army called me. Changed everything. I enjoy these videos. A hard working young man he is !!

@@mikflo2403 pretty much the same for me except the US Navy in Vietnam 1968. Then I transitioned to Aerospace For money whereas I would have preferred working dirt!

Apparently the builder didn't either. They just wanted to build it quickly; damn the pad grade and damn the weather. Matt wanted it done right so he put the builder on hold. Glad Matt did this for All the adventures we witnessed!

No need

It's nice being in the middle of nowhere not having to worry about permits and crap

"boarding house reach" - haven't heard that colloquialism in years! 500 points to Griffindor!

To be fair.... I think that'd still be an appropriate place to run to, instead of shitting your pants over the fire. :D

You saying it my man !
