Renovating An Abandoned Resort: Demolishing the Administration Building 

Saying Build Back Better is like putting a massive curse on the ranch. Also an invitation to kid sniffers and gun grabbers.

There is a telephone pole factory in😊 Old Town Idaho yo😮

They said they sell me 3 quarts of millions cedar Mill ends for 20

I work at a landfill and we get telephone phones all the time. Call your local landfill my guy @offtheranch

doesnt WD have a bulldozer you can borrow! make quick work of the entire property lol

Demolition Resort!

True

Just a different kind of demo.

Shoulda named the channel Demolishing a Ranch 😂

You know.

You need to offer them a booking because not everyone can be accomidated at Matts

Omg ur a GENIUS!!! Somebody needs to make sure Matt sees ur comment.

Great idea

Seconding this - I made the food truck comment on the last video. It actually would serve multiple purposes. Some food trucks are very item specific - others, such as those at events like motorcycle rallys, do everything from breakfast to snacks, full meals, and late night munchies. This would be ideal for the campers and for all the events that should be taking place on the range(s).

Make the food truck using one of the busses Heavy d sparks has for sale and have him put tracks on it

@@BarqueCat1 I'd suggest that he purchase a food truck instead of hiring in food trucks. Food trucks need a lot more than just a few guests to make it worthwhile for them. If he were to get a truck, that would stay on site. And because they'd only be serving guests and not the general public, he shouldn't have to go through all the health dept/regulatory hoops either.

Just the long haired dude on a Christmas hay cart train, drinking beers and telling tales

He has a fleet of non-operating golf carts.

This is an awesome idea, a neat little narrow gauge railway would not only be useful but would also bring in customers in the form of train enthusiasts.

That would be SICK

@@KameraShy Yeah, but there will be more people than carts eventually. And it’s a huge site!

Meanwhile whoever he bought this from is making out like a bandit.

THIS is a great idea!! However if the admin building is too far away from the camp sites it might deter people camping having to go that far away from campsite to use the bathroom. He might be better off still making the bathroom & shower small building in the campsite areas. I also think he should have a space for tent campsites also as well as the camper/RV sites.

I mean why does he need anything, I've camped at plenty of places with little to no facilities. Are Americans not capable of looking after themselves while camping?!?!?

There are tons of bucket trucks for sale all over Texas on auction sites and many dealerships.

great idea

The local power company in eastern nebraska just chops them up and throws them away when they move them

@@FUNNYBOY12375 Creosoteed poles can cause enviornmental issues with disposal. Some of them have CAA. The A stands for arsnic. Buying used poles can come with future environmental issues when the product is unknown. Poles are tapered and leave cracks for bullets to pass through. They are also not straight. I found a mountain of used poles on the web in San Antonio, but I am hoping Matt finds a better alternative to poles. Like sandbags. He has to figure things out for himself.

Poles last 50 years.

@@TexasEngineer”Hey guys, I need help with this thing because we’ve tried what we know and it hasn’t worked” “I know how to help him but he needs to figure it out himself” Wow, what a time to be alive

I’m late so I’m not replying for Matt to see but looks like they are just tamper proof screws which there is a bit for them to

His kids are getting olderand they don't want them on RU-vid. I don't blame them. He's got some very beautiful young ladies for his daughters. And they may not want to be on RU-vid.

@@karenmccollister6032 What's that got to do with it? I didn't say I miss his kids; although I kinda do, but I understand and would do the same.

These resort videos just aren’t hitting like the abandoned mansion series.

@@CensoredByRU-vid965it has to do with why he isn’t posting there. He made the channel for his home life, his home isn’t like it was so he doesn’t have that much to show, but since he wants to keep his family life out of it then it would be hard to make videos at home when his family is there.

And "Off The Family" would be a really bad channel name.

Good point. Here, the "telephone company" is going out of the wired telephone business. All cellular and wireless now. The electric company here inspects the poles and does replace them. They nail little metal inspection tags to the poles.

@@KameraShy They do the same metal tags here as well. I did subcontracting for the phone company when I was younger.

I have to really do an update. With the metal framing and roof trusses, there is no real need for the bracing. I didn't remember the frame when I made my comment. It would be true to need bracing if it was an entire wood frame. With the metal I beams and the wood attached to them, the bracing is unnecessary, in my opinion. Mia Culpa!

No reference implied/actual. Cheers.

@@johngross8300If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was referring to the angry Potato in Chief.

The "build back better" triggers the weirdo who claims to be someone important. Brings a negative energy to my spirit.

😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂❤

Was looking for this comment referring to the... Build back better... 😂😅😅

indoor bb gun range for the little kids

Indoor ranges are crazy expensive. That’s why you see less and less of them. Outdoor ranges with movie set style shoot houses are more affordable and draw more visitors. Coats and gloves work well outdoors.

I’ve never heard of a country folk going to an indoor gun range 😂

Indoor ranges are no fun, very loud, and very limited, and you've got lead dust in the air. I'd pass on a indoor range.

It rains 10 times a year

It won't work, the actual bit he needs looks almost like a pinwheel. You must have gotten lucky on your project. Those bolts are designed to strip if you use a Phillips or a slotted bit, that's why they're normally used for security bars.

​@@supahfly2106 Came here to post the same thing as dragon, so I have to ask: Why would that be? As long as there is a slot (is that how Americans call that? Sounds dumb. Sorry :D) that actually properly fits I don't get why it shouldn't work. I sure have used that exact method to deal with rounded KREUZSCHLITZ (philipps head :P :D) more than once. This even works on the stupid torx security stuff because you simply can't beat physics - once something sticks, something else turns! edit: 2:18 Shows the weird edge pretty good, I think I get it now. I still think physics beats this. "Just the tip" needs to fit. You could also start them off with a plier. All easier than what they're doing :D

Bolt extractors would probably work. They are designed for rounded hex heads.

@@n8c because those bolts are specifically designed for security bars. When used properly they cannot be removed by anything other than the security bit or a torch.

Is that what they're called? Security screws?

That's what I was going to say they look like security. I have a whole security screw bit set.

Who wants rock on a beach? Should be sand.

Knew that wouldn't work from the get go

Are you a scammer? Bc I have seen several of this same comment.

@@strokiinyourmom you sure do look like one ☝️

@@timbeers999 right because a scammer has a look lmfao. I’m glad you have a childish mindset. Have the life you deserve bub.

@@strokiinyourmom I don’t put information on the websites

@@timbeers999 yet you just did. So you’re a liar and a child. Cute

Or just a dock Pilings and material co, they make them for orders so I imagine they can supply them easily.

true but cost wise the used be cheaper @@strokiinyourmom

@@double_clone4609 right but if the company wants a good shout out then they would give Matt a deal he can’t refuse. His amount of exposure is surely going to get at least a few people to buy also so it’s a win win.

definetly a true but it shouldnt be that all, i mean i understand he profits too form his youtube but ido hate teh invid sponsors a bti @@strokiinyourmom
