Madeline Island Ferry with a Class A RV
Переглядів 2253 роки тому
Before we went to Madeline Island (Wisconsin) the first time (in our Class C RV) I was researching because I wasn't sure if it would fit or have enough clearance to get on and off. So when we took our Class A motorhome over this trip I decided to document the experience for any future RVers who might be doing the same research. For the record, our rig is a 36-foot Georgie Boy Pursuit. With the ...

Installing flush floor registers in a new hardwood floor

Was quoted 4k for professional resod of 1500sf. Is that too much? As a single female I don’t know much about pricing.
I am in the process of doing some remodeling. Do you still recommend poly over insulation batts ?
At least in my area, vapor barrier is required over insulation batts, even if they’re kraft-faced.
On my attic floor insulation under the AC furnace vent, the insulation is darker than others, I noticed a little bit water leak through roof during storm. The black or gray color is only on the top portion of the insulation. Is that dirt or mold?
Didn't say what climate it is, besides the shade/sun exposure.
Aren’t you worried about this old insulation having asbestos?
Superb
It will die off you need to thin your trees more..
Killed that
Great job
I am admire the bicycle path across the river in your video. It is wide and flat. Here in Seattle, we have to share a 10ft wide path with Ped and Bike travelling in both directions on the Fremont Bridge. Yet, the only bicycle infrastructure installed is a bicycle counter,, which showing the bridge is the busiest bicycle path in Seattle.
why do you call turf , sod ?
Glad I found your video. We’re in then northern Mpls metro and plan to hydroseed all the areas wiped out by the drought last summer and some really pesky moles. Moles will be managed this year. I just need to power rake the areas to he seeded first. Hopefully it’ll warm up a bit in May 😆.
The company did all the power raking for me before hydroseeding.
Wouldn't it be so much easier to make a wood template around your frame... Set your template over the installed wood, and use a router to cut the wood after its been installed? I can't see abt reason to use your method, unless you don't own a router.
Nice setup sir.
The problem you have is lack of sunshine and two large dogs
update?
Getting to Madeline Island is half of the fun. We've taken the ferry several times, our own boat and, in winter, drove out in an F 150. That drive is just a bit intense.
With a 20,000-pound-plus RV, I’ll avoid the ice and stick to the boat.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I wouldn't have thought it possible.
I built a 7x14 trailer. “Paulk inspired “ . However I like the side door but wanted more wall space. I built a shelving unit on casters and hinges. It swings out of the way and gives me access to the side door . I have a video posted . Check it out . Maybe it would work for you.
Why didn’t you just drop cut it instead of lower and raise the blade
Seems less stable and more prone to flexing and thus chip-out or even kickback. Also you won't be able to sight the blade location when it pops above the top of the board.
Blood money.
In Ga you can buy sod about 165 bucks for a pallet if you buy like 10
What the guy number who did the work
Great Video. How much do you need to water then or do you have a sprinkler system? I have a very similar yard where it was basically woods but have been since cleared out. My concern is that we do the hydroseed and without a sprinkler system it will die.
That's a beautiful yard!
You should cut down a few trees to get some sun back there. Trees are nice, but so is a yard.
7:10 Ron Paulk spoke to me in a dream the other night saying you should install a cabinet on that door / develop that area and discontinue the side doors
That is a masterclass
I did 2000sq of sod by myself for $560 .
Where did you get your sod? I need this!
I can not imagine ever paying $5k for grass nobody can smoke.
This guy's for sure has a hydro seed business talking all bull shit grass never took root but lived how long number two over the weekend I personally seen grass countless times sod have little white roots coming out and looking into the ground get out here with our lies
Love your shirt...College...LMAO!!!!
Dealing with this same problem right now. We have 3 dogs. German Shepard, border collie, sheltie and just bought a house last summer. My dogs have completely destroyed about 4000sq ft of what was a gorgeous back yard we had.
The trailer belongs to you. If you don't need the side door and you want shelves there build a cabinet in one piece that you want and cover the door with it. That way when you want to change something or sell the trailer it will be easy to remove. Great trailer!
Sod is expensive where you live. 5,000sq of sod would cost you 1500 here.
What part of the country are you in? I live in western Washington, and sod is the same price here as him.
Sure, the material does, but that does not include removal of the old turf, working and installing new soil. Fertilizer and the labor of installing it.
He was ripped off. Judging by the fact that he said Twin Cities, and his name has MSP, he is in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro. I live in the same area and just got a quote for 20,000sqft to be installed for $6,800. That would be $1,700 for his sized lawn. Not too dissimilar as your rates. Also, all of the sod fields are Kentucky BG with Fescues. There is no such thing as a shade grass sod farm here.
Any idea why you had to frequently water your hydroseeded lawn but when MN-DOT hydroseeds highway embankments, it doesn't return to water but yet produces decent grass? We also have a heavily shaded yard due to being surrounded by woods. We've repeatedly aerated, raked, sodded large areas, over-seeded using various mixtures from big box or Bachman's, covered new seed with straw, added new clean topsoil, installed sprinkler system... We've done our own fertilizer/weed or hired it done. Finally just gave up. p.s. thanks for taking the time to share your experience ~Red Wing
Yes, so the reason is, when you go by at 70 mph, it looks good, secondly the grass is not for looks, but for performance. Erosion control, slowing a vehicle down and creating a manageable space for visual safety. Residential and commercial walk in areas, visual effect is the key. Thick luscious turf relaxes and makes an area inviting. to get the thick turf , it needs to be maintained heavier.
I have been in the green industry for 5 years. What do plants need to not only survive but thrive? Sunlight, well drained , nutrient rich soil, lack of competition from other plants, the correct saturation amount, and little to no compacted soils. Figure out what is out of balance, if you desire the trees , install tree circles , with a bed edger and mulched up to but not touching your woody plants, from the root crown to the dripedge of the trees.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video. I am having the same issue with my yard. It is mostly shade and I have two 100lb dogs running around and they are destroying the lawn. I've tried overseeing the current lawn but it doesn't last long. How long did you keep your dogs off the lawn once you hydro seeded it? I'm afraid to pay to hydroseed only to have the dogs ruin it once they are able to run freely.
Thanks for the comment. I used a temporary fence to keep my dog off the hydroseeded area for at least a month, but we have a side yard where the grass wasn't hydroseeded, so he still had some room to move to around. After about a month I would let him to on the hydroseeded area to do his business, but would then bring him back to the side yard if he started getting wild. Even a year later I have to pay attention to distract him from covering the same paths if he starts running, so once an area starts to look stressed I'll move the hammock in front of it, or put a lawn chair there or something to at least make him change his pattern. With two 100-pound dogs I don't know if you'll ever find a good solution in a shady area, unfortunately. It will be a challenge, but good luck.
@@BryaninMSP Thank you so much for the quick response. Unfortunately I think you are right, with two big girls we will never have a really nice thick yard. I think it may be time to think about a yard renovation.
This is a great review , thank you
two things. 1. Your yard is awesome! 2. Thank you for having this video done it helped me make my decision.
Just wanted to comment on something that was said. He mentioned he watered the sod heavy and it never took root. Well you answered your own question. Sod only needs to be damp, if you water too much the roots never have to go in the ground to search for water.
I put in sod in multiple new construction houses and watered them solid for two weeks straight and the sod took perfectly so I can’t say I agree with that. That being said we predominantly do hydro seeding
Sun is what your grass need. The shades from the trees are causing the patches on the lawn.
Hydroseeder here, Although sod is great, cost benefits of hydroseeding are much better. Also a note after seeding and grass behind to grow, if u need to cut the grass make sure you cut it as tall as possible. Need to make sure the roots are well established before cutting shorter.
i was going to go sod but you,ve been a big help and it,s hydroseed for me
Thanks for the video.. Great advice Ouch!! $4500
How is the lawn looking now?
It held up better than the sod did-that being said, it's still pretty wispy and bare in high-traffic areas, so we're overseeding this spring. In places where my 90-pound dog doesn't race around it took really nicely.
@@BryaninMSP try overseeding with seed made for parks and playgrounds. It stands up to traffic better.
@@BryaninMSP have you done any soil samples? It's possible the leaves from the trees and the old forest have made the ground acidic and tou might need to alkaline it once in a while
Is this unit for rent?
Very similar to my trailer! Great job. I subbed check out my trailer video if u get a chance and let me know what u think?
Why would you put lawn in that kind of place?
why do you spell your name with a "c" and a "k"? thats the real question i think🤣
