I wonder how the surface wears over time without bull floating? Will stone eventually show through sooner than wet pours?
I have been watching your show since your containers arrived but I still can't figure out your ultimate goal.
Toujours un plaisir que de voir mes cousins cajuns. Bravo Lydia tu as mis les couleurs du drapeau de la France 🇫🇷 sur ton bracelet. C’est vrai les cajuns ont une relation particulière avec les français. Une mention particulière encore à Lydia qui n’a pas le vertige c’est impressionnant. Jim tu as de la chance d’avoir la meilleure partenaire. Soyez prudents. Bonne continuation les cousins cajuns. 👍👏😘🇫🇷
Such a you oughta rumpus state representative or senator. I will help anyway I can. If you decide to reach out please. We need to change this law.
Thank you for saving the deer
I think you all did a great job of laying out the project and not to bad on rigging, with the exception of backing off the shackle pin, thats a definite no no. Great job using a bowline for the tag lines. Overall good work.
Yes, deep south is great... never had any problems with them.
A lil overkill lol but we'll worth the money, deep south never let me down in all my turnarounds
I think I'm going too try a dry pour now.
👍🏻👌🏻❤️🙏🏻
After being a certified National Crane Operator for 17 years, I agree you made the right decision. I ran a hydraulic just like the one you used. I was glad to see you knew crane signals ---- I would show up on job sites and people would have no clue. I didn't understand the container hooks, when a screw pin would have done the job for your purposes, and eliminated another point of failure. I lifted many and never used them.
🏋♂👍
Cajun you sound Kentucky lol
If you two are doing the filming... you are doing a great job! Details, close ups, a bit of fun, lots of smiles and good explanations. Thanks for taking us along on your projects. God bless you!
Wow! I really needed this video today! (Came by it by accident!) Thank you!
Decided not to watch any of your new videos until I finish your ( Building our own home ). Love how u see as you progress with editing and everything.
I wonder with all the generators that you guys have now do you have a favorite?
Beautiful, beautiful people!!! You two are a gift from God to all of us! I am in PA, a single 67 yr old that is going to do some dry pouring cement. My family thinks I'm nuts for trying it in PA. We'll see who gets the last laugh. Now ... to lift the 90 lb bags. .... Hmmm ;) Love y'all. Blessings to you!
No, your not overreacting !! That law Is TOTAL BS !! And for the neighbor with all the Bad Dogs, I'm sure you are watching these folks videos !! And turned the Girl in, You are one dirty, Heartless sob !! You must have been watching and waiting for your pack of MUTS, to kill that little fawn !! And then , ya called in on the Girl for helping !! God has special place for people like you in Hell !! I'm done... But, this stupid law has to be changed...
Wow😮. And I ditto all the comments…..that was fantastic to watch….now…….”how y’all getting to the upper tier” Can’t wait !❤
I would definitely have added rocks, stones, broken bricks, etc. before dumping in all those bags of cement.
Great job! Looks awesome! Loving the journey.
I was unsubscribed from your account and lost you for several months. Today you popped up in my feed. I have subscribed again.
Thank You for another great video. Your explanation of exactly how you were going to accomplish lifting and placing the containers was perfect. The past experience of you and your brother as well as Lydia's experience is a major key to the successful completion of the task. Being a crane operator, I know how important it is to have "qualified" riggers along with "experienced" craftsmen to achieve a safe and well executed crane lift. This channel's honesty and attention to detail is what places you light years ahead of the others. I look forward to seeing the progress and completion of your shop. Thanks again
AWESOME! I've driven through your part of the world a few times over the last month. Once I got near your area, I was like, "I recognize all of this." Sure enough! I was in the ballpark! HAHAHA! Love the videos!
My my , what a beautiful high flyer taking off those slings and rigging, she’s a pretty lady vary beautiful woman, wow, you need a calendar with her on every page, in different outfits for 12 month’s, nice, I think we would buy a calendar with 12 photos of her, she is good looking, thanks , so that was 18 feet on the top on the c-Cans, right, thanks BigAl California
Do you need to created another brace underneath the sink since you had to weaken the one you had by cutting a huge hole in it.
That setup is major cool!! Great planning and work!
Great she is beautiful I wood love to put aform at my mother's grave
I would have used cinder blocks instead of solid concrete. That's a lot of extra unnecessary concrete.
That lift brought back a lot of memories. My days working for Turner Ind. Best work experience ever!!
That is as impressive pricing, Any idea why the floor structure under the container is different on 1/3 of the end? Cheers Warren
Awesome crew! Jim, you must be oilfield, not many folks know how to tie a Bowline knot! Great for a tagline.
great engineered solution. wonder if you could add two more for the second story if you needed them. getting value for the time to get crane there and set up. great experience to be involved with, wish them all the best, meeting engineering and safety needs. can see how you could build a shelter or shed complex for so many uses, not pretty but solid and good for decades especially surviving in hurricane areas. storage, work sheds, animals and food areas etc as well as basic accommodation for sleeping and cooking and a bathroom.
I want updates over the years! I’ve dry poured quite a bit over the years and I’ve liked it so far!
dang, that is one fine looking woman you got there pal...
I’m behind on my video watching - was this massive slab a dry pour also?
What is going in those things?
Can I actually attach my storage building (8’x12’) to this type of dry pour slab or would I be better off doing the usual wet pour? TYIA!
I don’t see the benefit
I understand the concept but for some reason I can’t wrap my brain around it 🤷♂️. I’m interested to see it completed… Enjoy your videos… Thanks for sharing 👍
OK. I thought you all would have put them on top of the other ones, to have a covered stairwell to the top containers. Anyway, good luck with completing the shop build.
This looks great. Never seen the roller trick before. Thats awesome 🤔
I was hoping for y'all to weld the containers, but no worries because the next hurricane we'll get to see lots of welding!
Consider the intent of a law. Plead not guilty and tell your story. No judge or jury in any state will find you guilty of that charge. If just one officer had responded that deer would still be alive. Rewriting the law would cause quite a few problems. You have done your part already by sharing the facts and educating the people of your state. I would argue that in the future dozens of people you have educated will quietly do the right thing. I hope this is somewhat comforting to you.
Awesome project! I luv this series. Keep'em coming.
Come on, Lydia! Redneckin' Ingenuity is always the best way to do things! Congratulations on the progress.
Another quality installation. I see containers stacked all of the time but normally they would have the top contsiner overlapping one of the lower containers on the end that doest have doors. But I'm sure y'all have a plan. You do have a plan, right? I can't wait to see what it is. Love your videos and God bless y'all.
I grew up on chitterlings, and I love them. Don't get to have them much but cannot wait to be able to cook them again LOL
Any Home Depot rolling staircase would save you hundreds if not thousands!! think about it.
