- While moving the trailer frame from the far side our property, we are also cooking with wine infused wood pellets. A very unique cooking experience.

I'd be welding those two frames back to back to give Y'all extra strength. You'd be able to drive the quad across
The pellet company should send you a bunch of free pellets for the nice ad you gave them 😊
I recommend welding one frame on top of the other for greater strength and stability.
Make the bridge more stable.
Maybe without all the rub you normally put on then you are actually tasting the meat - a unique experience to most people who usually over-rub and over-smoke their meat!
On behalf of the people and the State of Alabama, I hereby present you with the coveted Honorary Red Neck Card, together with all right and privileges thereto.
Seriously, I enjoyed watching you do things. You are real.
Evan you are turning into a real farm fabricator with all the extra parts and pieces you have around
Love your ingenuity. This is what our country was built on❤
I have a neighbor that made a bale trailer out of an old trailerhouse frame. It worked pretty good.
Evan, if one 44’ frame length is enough to span across that section of your pond, why not weld the two sections back together once both sections are in place. It will make your fishing bridge wider and safer and able to accommodate more folks for a fishing gathering. You might want to rent or buy a used band mill to provide the wood surface. You sure have plenty of trees. Oak would be a good source as it ages real well.. looking forward to seeing what you decide on and build.
He still couldn't drive across on anything heavier then a side by side or zero turn mower
Your cooking is making me hunger for meat
Parts of those I Beams can be welded INTO a bandsaw mill itself. He's got a great start to a home build mill
Back in the 80s my uncle used the frame of an old box truck from the 1960s to build a round bale trailer after my grandfather bought a Deutz-Allis round baler
You and Rebekah make an amazing team! Love your videos!
I am very Happy with the work you have done so you can work the other land!!!
Evan see if you can find some plastic 55 gallon drums to attach to the frame so you can float the frame out to the island .
Good idea. Thanks.
No driving or operating heavy equipment until the pellets/smoke wears off. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
Just when I think I’ve had a productive day I have to watch Evan blow me out of the water 😂
Looking forward to the upcoming project with the trailer frame/s. It will be very interesting. 💕🎶
Deck the bridge with heavy thick wood. My mom went to move her 20-year-old mobile home to a different park and 2 miles down the road it broke in half. The frames are not very strong and need the support of strong decking.
Can't wait to see the finished bridge. I think you should put the two back together to make a wide bridge and maybe put a gazebo on it.
The bridge will be very nice, so far You are doing a great job on it !Now You have made Me very hungry !! I LOVE YOU GUYS !!!! 🥰 🥰
"You'd think I'd learn"...The story of my life :)
I grew up in the Midwest with these “country style” pork ribs. Been following you for years and that really hit home!
Always entertaining watching your videos I enjoy farming vicariously through you and your wife I am truly envious
One of those frames would make a nice round bale wagon all you would need is probably different axles and it looks like the bales would fit right on it cut them in half and make a couple
The remaining frame must be used to build a castle for Princess Maya. Something befitting her regal stature. 🤣🤣
Smells so good great lunch and dinner!!!!!
I m happy see you again. I stop watching your videos because I’ve been busy and I happy see you working in your range. Look very nice. You range hello from Santa Fe New Mexico.
Interesting video Evan with the pellets and moving the trailer frame, I think it will work out well over the pond
Absolutely love the idea of the bridge out of something found on the property. Like it was just meant to be. Can't wait to see how you get it done.
YOU are AMAZING 😮
Great idea for the trailer chassis. Pork roast looks yummy
If you find the pork shoulder to be a little dry, try putting some butter or barbeque sauce on the outside surfaces when the internal temperature reaches 160 F, and then wrap it with foil for the remainder of the cooking time to 190-200 F
If your going to continue to round bale you can make a real nice trailer for moving bales with part of one of those trailer frames
You know you have done a good job on the pit when you don't need BBQ sauce. In central Texas we get off need if you ask for sauce.
It’s good you have your own personal nurse to patch you up.
Trailer frame would make an awesome round bale trailer
Love the videos guys.
Good luck with the bridge!
I can’t wait to see you build that bridge
I usually wrap my pork when it hits 165F or so and let it cook until it hits 185-195. It turns out very juicy.
I had mentioned that in a previous video some time ago,thinking the same thing for a bridge for me!
Good job salvaging n repurposing. Looking forward to the bridge project
Get some plastic containers and float your bridge over there and see if you can get it about were you want it or close too it
Wow! Did not know you had a cemetery so near! How old? Neat!
Yes, the cemetery is kinda within our property boundry, but it's not our property. It is a neat old cemetery. From around 1860 to early 1900s.
Yes I can remember watching that video mate hope you and your wife and family and your friends are doing well god bless you all.
Glad you are the guinea pig for the mobile home frame for a bridge Evan. I've been thinking about the same thing for a creek on our property. Ours is way harder to get to but hopefully it works out
Can't wait to see the fishing bridge come together. What a great idea to make a real unique addition to the farm. Perhaps the extra Steel could be welded to form a sitting bench or fishing pole railing.
We had country style ribs for supper. We found a crock pit recipe and man, were they good.
Love your open-minded way to getting ideas on how to do things. I too go into projects not knowing exactly how I am going to do it. But it gets done.
Could have taken your portable generator/welder over and just welded an attachment on.
Hi Evan, hope you had a Tetanus Vaccination. Good for 5 years. Rebecca should be able to advise. Good to have a nurse around the house 😊 Take care
Love when you add cooking videos!
The trailer frame/s should make a good bridge, with small pontoons under it or however you're going to suspend it above the water. And then build a covered shelter maybe in the middle of it, would make a good little fishing spot.
the bridge will be a fun project to watch ... can't wait
Now that you have the backhoe I'd dig the corner of your bankbarn out to fix the water problem in back. Some pvc with gravel on top would help.
Thanks for watching your good video...
Can’t wait to see the bridge project.
You two live so awesomely! My wife and I are building a timber frame home in rural TN on18 acres. We presently are in MD. It is a long distance relationship with the builder and some serious trust and integrity. I can only hope that when it is all done we enjoy the rural life as much as you guys do. Hope you're up on your tetanus shot Evan. That trailer was screaming "let me scratch you with my rust"!
Welcome to the Import Club! We have been here(from Eastern VA ) for 20 years and love it!
Looks like a promising use for the trailer frame. Pretty ingenious method to move it. It would have been nice to slide the small tube out intact, but chances are really high it was rusted tight and would have had to be cut anyway.
That pork looks really tasty. Unfortunately, my dear wife doesn't do well with red meat so we don't have it all that often. Plus my heart doctor is on a more vegetarian lifestyle kick. I still have meat from time to time.
Pork isn’t considered red meat.
@@ruadhscottygirl2480 , tell my doc. She does.
I used a trailer frame to bridge a pond spillway. I bolted 2 x 6's to the frame & screwed my decking to those.
Don’t cut it short my friend. Keep as much length as you can, for the ends to be securely on both banks where you are putting the bridge. Nice project.
This looks like a great form for the bridge. Also a very unique way of moving it. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
That pipe between the front and back axles is called a "reach". There should have been a single hole in the back frame to run a bolt through. You could see the holes in the back end of the reach. That's how you were supposed to adjust the length of the wagon. Hope you can put it back that way when you're done with this project.
You my mouth water with them ribs 😊 That frame looks too light for a bridge
During warm days, many fish of all sizes will gather under the bridge for shade & cooler water. Try routinely dropping bread crumbs, it will become a feeding frenzy, but not food value. I did this to monitor size of fish & population, plus it is amusing.

Evan and Rebekah would be awesome neighbors. I could see my wife and I hanging out with them all the time!
Evan, I seem to draw blood every time I do any work at my place, either on thorns, sharp rocks, cedar tree bark, or anything else I get around. You seem to have a knack for coming up with ideas on the fly. Good job. Enjoy that pork, looks great.
So you're going to add the steering axle to the front of that 44' tailer and make it very manageable
Hey Evan , don’t forget that Murphy’s Law sometimes works in reverse !,! I admit that it is very occasionally, well, almost never, but you don’t know until you try.. good luck with the bridge .
We smoke our pork shoulder with minimal seasoning and flavor it later when we are ready to eat it. It gets used for bbq sandwiches or seasoned with Mexican spices.
Evan, u had two axles, use the other one for the other trailer frame. if u don't have anymore tires, take-off the other tires. the meat looked great..
I've got an idea Rebecca is a good cook. The brdge your going to build can't just rely on the ends being on dry land to support heavy weight. I'm telling you something you already know I'm sure.
Love how you document projects....always great videos...see you again soon....it's Happy Spring in Iowa !!!!
Good use of that frame
Hey Evan. That was my idea 💡 too. Just weld metal planks together. We did it in the military too. 🪖😁🏞⛓️⛓️🪜🪜🏞🎣🐟❤😎👍Great Farm videos 📹 ❤ trailer rails will work 👌
Thanks Guys
I had that same idea till all my research come up with mobile home frames are really weak. You prob be fine if it’s just people walking over it but I wouldn’t drive anything over it unless you got a lot of support under it. Maybe a lawnmower or small four wheeler at most. Maybe you can take the 4 beams out of both and make one little stronger Im excited to see it!
A recruiter for U.S. NAVY SEABEES will be coming to your house with a DRAFT notice!
Hi from the UK, have you got Kate Middleton hidden away there lol. You clever man dismantling and moving the chasse. well done, looking forward to watching you build the bridge. Its a good job you married a Nurse, your accident prone lol.
Got the front row , wraped up in my lap robe , its cod here in Fl, enjoying watching u work. Souds like u have a good grill.
Hey guys another great vid. What's the plan to span the water? You thinking boat dock floats or something else? I freaking love how close your pond is to the house...sure wish mine was..lol. Yeah I'm jealous 😂. Much love y'all..stay safe
I didn’t realize this old mobile home was still on the farm. I thought you had gotten rid of all the old stuff. I sure hope it works for you. I wondered where your side kick was , didn’t see her, then she popped up on the eye in the sky. God bless, love you guys.
That was fun to watch❤❤❤❤
It's going to be fun. just saying
Good thinking on the trailer frame, I may have to barrow that idea. I like how your hay fork converts, good looking pork shoulder, sometimes it's best to cook those with no seasoning, brings out the flavor, making me hungry. Good luck on your bridge in the pond. I hope you have a great Friday!
if you want to use all of the frame you could cut it and make it Arched a little bit or you may want to take part of the I beam and weld it vertically in the middle as a piling, the triangle side s could be cut off and placed upright as posts for a rail along the side , are you going to want to run your mover across it or 4 wheelers, ect???? have fun doing it whatever you choose!
another great video
Need to put some braising liquid in when wrapping meats to cook so it gets tender and doesn’t dry out. Steams it
Terrific idea about using the trailer frame and your timing in moving it when you did.
Nice job moving the frames, I am sure you will check this out before you start or cutting or driving anything over your bridge, but ... look up the allowable loads for different spans of (what looks like 8" c-channel?). Don't forget to calculate the weight of your decking either. mobile homes always seem kind of bouncy when you walk in them, and this one had 3 piers on each side.
Awesome job
Vestil Adjustable Plate and Slab Dolly with Pneumatic Wheels
Looks like you upgraded to some Milwaukee cordless tools. Good choice. I love my fuel 1/2 inch full torque impact. Nothing fails to come loose with it.
yes I did. I have 3 Milwaukee tools right now, and will slowly get more.
Sure does look good. Thanks for eating in front of us.😉
thx
Good vlog guys all I think about when I watch yous is that you are living the dream
I like your ingenuity for figuring out how to move those frames. That one frame will probably make a fine bridge on your pond.
The smoked pork looks delicious!
Love your ideas for the bridge made out of old frame. Can’t wait to see you guys sitting out there of an evening with your fishing gear. Good job!!
Was sitting here watching this just before I go to bed, and you got me salivating watching you eat that pork Roast. i could almost taste it with you. nuts! now I have to go get a midnight snack! thanks for sharing. ECF
Saw you using a milwaukee m18 fuel screw driver good choice!!!
I wonder if you should move the other half of the frame before you put up your fence? I am certain you will find a use for it on the farm.
I plan to move the other frame this weekend.
