I built a small retaining wall and a manure pit with those blocks. Got 30 of them delivered from one hour away for $83 a piece. Best decision ever, simple and lasts forever. Owning the machinery at my disposal to move them was priceless. I was told buy the guy that the 2x2x6 block that I bought like yours are 4K.
I’ve been a overhead crane operator for 35 years and heavy equipment also. Any time you add cables to the mix you are going to get some swing and hydraulic booms make it rough to catch it. He’s doing a good job it’s just the nature of the game.
These massive concrete blocks are awesome for country properties! We just completed a huge wall with the decorative version of these large concrete blocks. They have 'castle' tops and look like gigantic Legos. They have cap blocks for the tops that are half the thickness and have no pins on the top. The blocks you used are fantastic for what you are using them for, but if you need a 'fancy' wall, most concrete plants sell decorative blocks as well. I agree about the blocks being far from perfect, but if a bit of care is taken in the setting, they make a very strong retaining wall that looks real nice! Ours weighed 2,400 lbs. each and were 2' x 2' x 4' and the wall is about 70' long. It will have a poured concrete propane tank at at one end when complete. Plenty of video if anyone is interested.
LOL on the inside vs outside dogs. I'm 67 and my dogs and our kids dogs were pretty much outside. These days everyone has them inside, from the little ankle biter Chihuahuas to Great Danes. Cool firewood storage pad. Thanks for sharing.
Those old U model Mack trucks are cool. My brother in law had one he hauled grain with. that thing would pull like crazy nice job on the firewood bin. Should work great
I’m sitting here watching Ty watching them set concrete blocks and it hits me… this kid is blessed to have a family that exposes him to a true working man world… tractors, excavators, dogs, building stuff, cutting trees and access to a hundred flippin’ acres!
We made close to 200 of those blocks to line a creek bed on my fathers property in Indiana. We had three forms to pour into and concrete truck drivers would bring their excess and dump into them. It took about two years to get that many. Good looking setup Mike!
Good morning Mike, Melissa & all the OWTM fans/followers from a drizzly blustery morning here in the low country of Virginia Beach… glad to see Yinz finally got you blocks to start your new split wood pile…thanks for bringing us along Hello Hunter Have a Day
Firewood pit looks great!!! Time to set up the conveyor and spitter and then scratch that project off the list!! Can't wait to see it full of split wood. Big HELLO to the family and be safe. See you on the next video.
Honestly now that you've done all that work, letting all that wood sit there wet/frozen with moisture seems counter productive. I know, easy to sit here typing away comments on my computer, but still, think of how wet the wood buried in piles and stacks will get. New subscriber, just love the channel.
Those concrete blocks are what we used at the redi-mix plant i worked at. They’re indestructible & ours were about 12 ft high. They formed the aggregate bins, approximately 40’x40’x12’ high. Its amazing how much material they hold. A great way to make a outdoor container. Love the videos and God bless y’all
Your bin is small compared to ours. Our 1” cs is 108’ wide and 75’ deep on one end and 55’ deep on the other. Sand is 65’ deep and 55’ wide. I loaded 30 of the 4’ blocks to a customer just today. They got around 40 of the 6’ blocks already. Make them, break them down, and load them all the time.
Looks very nice. I think the whole thing will work better with the blocks on the pad. Mike you know you always think everything through and it always work great. Enjoy!
Mike, yes I agree it looks good. One cubic foot of concrete weighs about 150 pounds x 24 cf for the 6 footer equals 3,600 lbs. sorry to hear about the Bronco I was getting excited to see it. Hopefully soon. Have a great week😁👍
Nice big blocks! I’m ready to see some splitting, I used to split with steel wedges, sledge hammer and an axe. That means you eat a big lunch! Looks great, team!
Hey Mike, Mike wife said thank god I have something to watch since I also just retired. Great thing is I don’t have to leave my chair while you work. Always look forward to next video.
We set all of ours on a gravel footer. You have plenty of gravel packed down now to hold those blocks and they aren't moving. You have lost a lot of square feet of wood storage 3' around the sides. The nice thing is if you change your mind move them out with your excavator and try it on gravel. Order 6 more blocks lots of additional room.
Looks great, Mike! Well done! I enjoyed the discussion about dogs being inside versus outside. My grandmother who was a very old school Farmer, never allowed any animals inside the farmhouse! She ran that place with an iron fist. The farm had tons of animals, but they were all outside, and by golly, that's where they stayed! 💪
Sorry that's not a description of an old school grandmother! Sounds like a farmwife that was from a town or live near a town with access to gas and alternating current electric power.
The pad is complete and looks great! Time to fill'er up! This project took a while but to stand back and look at it, it was worth the wait. I was very happy Levi and Ty made it there to see the blocks being set, don't ya know that boy's mind was racing! Well, it finally happened, I've been picking up my 2 youngest grandchildren, Gracie 11 and Mason 9 from school on Tuesdays and Thursdays when mom, a child therapist works in office. Yesterday morning, Mason tested positive for covid. Mom's had 2 vaccination shots, but no one else has. They were both in my house this past Thursday. I've been told by 2 doctors that I will not survive covid as I'm a bad diabetic and have a non cancerous mass in my left lung. I can only walk a short distance and my heart is pounding hard. I take 6 shots of 3 insulins a day. So I guess I don't get to be w grandkids for a while. 10 days doc says for Mason, but dad and sis, my ex lives next door and fixes their supper daily, so she may get it and my 2 sons are off this week renovating my ex's house next door so if Jason gets it, Josh will too. If someone in the home has it, the kids may pass it even after they're over it. My days here are few as it is, I just really don't want to go w cancer or covid. On the bright side, Levi's gonna be there daily and you have so many things going on, I can start my days as always w the Morgans! I saw lots of firewood in the forest and you've got some logs stacked up, the pad should fill pretty quick! I'm anxious to see the bundled wood stacked up for sale, and maybe Hunter can help some w that! So many good things happening on the Morgan's estate! It is just awesome that you share w us, thank you from the bottom of my heart!👍🚜❤‼
Mike I like the way you plan out everything you do for what your needs are and your experience in the construction trades is invaluable. I find my position in viewing your video back up into the thousands again and the little bell icon doesn't help. Have a blessed day
Yeah Know if Mike and Melissa could only convince the rest of their family to go get the airline flight tracking injections. Ford Corporation might deliver their Bronco the next day. Corporation stick together that way when they're running a world government!
Well , we sure hope you enjoy Constructing the Firewood Bin, Mike. But Since you have so many Trees on the property, there's no telling what effort's will be needed to fill it up Completely. Happy Sawing & Splitting.
Wow I think that it looks great.Good choice to do the blocks on the concrete.You will be up and running soon with the fire wood business.Can't wait to see that Bronco in the driveway.Good luck stay save and be well. Bob Bitchin!!
Mike I'm so jealous, not about the firewood bin but your ability to be outdoors. We've been having 50 mph sustained winds with 70+ mph gusts that has the sky filled with this desert sand, so not been able to do anything outdoors 😔
I'm currently in the process of building bins myself (I own a roll off dumpster business) and my Case SV-250 skidsteer will pick them up using the tip of one of my forks. My company estimates theirs at 3800 lbs each, so your excavator should handle them no problem.
Looking good sorry for your disappointment for the Bronco Mike but the silver lining is the wood bin. Ty seemed to approve of the entire thing. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Hello Hunter. Ed
I’m very giddy the blocks finally in place What a marvellous space to do purpose firewood splitting Remember last year you had the big pile in the middle of the site Oh it’s really shaping up well As for the Bronco Don’t hold your breath 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Good job you didn’t shave on the strength of emails & msgs 👍👏👏👏👏👏
2x2x6 is a standard 1 cubic yard block, 4050lb. I drive a mixer, build the molds for the blocks, the V lock is a stander industry block held in place by the V and dead weight. Always be careful around these blocks, the rebar hook is often the only rebar in the whole block. Not all hooks are installed the same either. Also, most companies make this with their left over mix, consistency isn’t always there. Some guys will even build a block with multiple loads, this is where you get into the world of danger.
so we use these for manure pads, but set the block first, then pour inside, and put some backfill outside so the loader doesnt shove the blocks around.
Put a 4th wall, add a pool liner, and fill with water… Melissa can have her pool this year 😀. Looks great, now the fun begins filling it with firewood.
58here in Moscow Mills Mo fall is here firewood bin turned out nice Won’t be long be burning wood We heat with wood burn about 4 cord a winter give or take a little approximate cost $200/ cord Nice warm heat compared to electric for sure
Nice T-shirt Melissa, Silverton CO, was a really cool town. I was fortunate to spend two days there while hiking the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango.
Firewood bin turned out great. Time to get in the woods now. Just got back from a successful antelope hunt in Wyoming, we had a blast. Just dropped the "goat" off at the taxidermist and heading to the farm to catch up on sawmill work. Can't wait for your elk hunt. Good luck and another great video.
Looking really good guys. And, hey, if the firewood thing doesn't work ott, (sic), you could put a fourth side on that, buy a liner and BAM, Melissa has her pool😁✌❤.
Hey Mike, a few more blocks, some Flex-Seal & a diving board would solve the pool issue! What's with the sledge hammer, thought you were a "blaster" ? 😎😎😎 LOL OK enough funnies for today! Pad is looking great, wanting & waiting to see it all in operation.
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Mike, according to my calculations, those 2x2x6 blocks do indeed weigh about 3550 pounds. Nice pool foundation, I mean firewood bin. Have a productive day.
How are you doing your math when a yard (27 Cubic foot) weighs 2,500 lbs and 6’x2’x2’= 24 cf @ 92.59 lbs per cubic foot that’s 2,222.22 plus rebar of say 250 lbs that’s 2,472.22 lbs which is almost a ton n quarter. How do you get 3550 = 131.48 lbs per cf. cause I have been pouring concrete since I was 16 and did the calculations better than any of the adults at that time. So please do educate me ( not trying to be sarcastic )
Did anyone else notice that they set the block (where he had to knock off the top VEEs) in backwards. It was design to set into the corner and lock both ways to the second row.
Yes Richard it would be stronger to spin it. but they are tongue and groved on ends. You would have two groved touching and the tongue sticking😜 out the corner. So it looks nicer Mike's way 🤐 and it's only two high
Making great progress. I look forward to her seeing how you are going to operate in there. I was wondering how you would deal with sawdust but I’ve watched you long enough to know that you probably have a plan for everything
That looks awesome can’t wait to your fillet and congrats to Levi I think that was a great choice it gives him some time with his family and some other stuff but I can’t wait to see all the new stuff that you guys are bringing in
Those 6X2X2 block consist of 3/4 of a yard of concrete. When wet they weigh 3700 lbs. When dried and curd they weigh 3500 lbs. Each block has 24 gallons of water in it.
Saw dust and bark will slow the flow of water coming out too the firewood on the bottom will be soaked. Now you got to build a high roof so you can have clean and dry firewood.
Hey Mike I work for a precast company we had wire mesh in them and some rebar and ours were all same that's where we p poured the extra at the end of the day we called them waste blocks
I built a small retaining wall and a manure pit with those blocks. Got 30 of them delivered from one hour away for $83 a piece. Best decision ever, simple and lasts forever.

Love how your wife always approves of your accomplishments!!!! My husband is jealous!!!! Lol
GREAT 👍 LOOKING BIN MIKE 👌! ! AS USUAL YOU ARE ALWAYS ON THE BINGO! PERFECTION SHOULD BE YOU'RE MIDDLE NAME! HAVE A DAY!
Looks like playing with blocks is as much fun as an adult as it was a kid I like the firewood pit god bless have a great day
Good morning everyone. 51º in Kansas City. Stay safe, be humble & kind and have a day.
Good morning Phil :-)

Mike, you might think about putting sealer on while the area is all nice and clean. Great looking area. Hope to have one at some point.
Good suggestion.
I like your new video today this look really nice you did a good jop on this be nice for your fridwood love your video
Looking good! Of course now the fun begins….. You gotta fill it up!

Montgomery Block Works...
Right up the road from my house
looks nice
Snazzy bin. I'm sure it'll work great. And it is yours to do with. You've done well so far. Carry on.
Firewood bin looks nice. I think it'll work out great for you. Have a nice week.

I should have known better. You answered my question at the end of the video.. Great job. It is good to see Ty supervising.
pretty, each will vary but around 3200 ish plus steel. real nice setup your got going.
Looks great. Enjoy filling it up!!!! Tell Hunter hello
Put 2 or 3 more tiers and some trusses on 4 foot centers, Purlins, and metal roofing, then you could keep your firewood dry.
I was thinking just anchor some posts in the corners, then trusses and metal roof. Keep some cross breeze
Looks very nice. I think the whole thing will work better with the blocks on the pad. Mike you know you always think everything through and it always work great. Enjoy!

Nice big blocks! I’m ready to see some splitting, I used to split with steel wedges, sledge hammer and an axe. That means you eat a big lunch! Looks great, team!
Hey Mike,
Mike wife said thank god I have something to watch since I also just retired. Great thing is I don’t have to leave my chair while you work. Always look forward to next video.
I did the same concrete block bins at our ranch one for firewood one for topsoil that I screen and one for gravel… best investment you will love it!
Nice thing about these blocks is, if they outlive their usefulness you can just pick them up and use them for some other application.
Looks great, nice way to organize your split wood and contain the mess! Congratulations!👍🏻
Now I can't wait to see the whole production of the fire wood being fed into the bin.
Pretty cool! Oh, please tell the real boss, Hunter, hi for me! 😉
We set all of ours on a gravel footer. You have plenty of gravel packed down now to hold those blocks and they aren't moving. You have lost a lot of square feet of wood storage 3' around the sides. The nice thing is if you change your mind move them out with your excavator and try it on gravel. Order 6 more blocks lots of additional room.

Be safe out there and may God continue to bless the Morgan family !!!!

58here in Moscow Mills Mo fall is here firewood bin turned out nice Won’t be long be burning wood We heat with wood burn about 4 cord a winter give or take a little approximate cost $200/ cord Nice warm heat compared to electric for sure
Nice looking wood bin. No maintenance. I am planning on building some compost bins in the same manner but without a slab.
Looks great for a firewood bin like you said don't have to be perfect as long as it suits you
Nice T-shirt Melissa, Silverton CO, was a really cool town. I was fortunate to spend two days there while hiking the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango.
Firewood bin turned out great. Time to get in the woods now. Just got back from a successful antelope hunt in Wyoming, we had a blast. Just dropped the "goat" off at the taxidermist and heading to the farm to catch up on sawmill work. Can't wait for your elk hunt. Good luck and another great video.
Looking really good guys. And, hey, if the firewood thing doesn't work ott, (sic), you could put a fourth side on that, buy a liner and BAM, Melissa has her pool😁✌❤.
I think it looks absolutely great Mike! Good job!
Hey Mike, a few more blocks, some Flex-Seal & a diving board would solve the pool issue! What's with the sledge hammer, thought you were a "blaster" ? 😎😎😎 LOL
OK enough funnies for today! Pad is looking great, wanting & waiting to see it all in operation.
love it, brilliant idea to set on the pad rather than have footings. Good work.
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Mike, according to my calculations, those 2x2x6 blocks do indeed weigh about 3550 pounds. Nice pool foundation, I mean firewood bin. Have a productive day.
How are you doing your math when a yard (27 Cubic foot) weighs 2,500 lbs and 6’x2’x2’= 24 cf @ 92.59 lbs per cubic foot that’s 2,222.22 plus rebar of say 250 lbs that’s 2,472.22 lbs which is almost a ton n quarter.

So please do educate me ( not trying to be sarcastic )
Mike, I was worried about your fingers for a while there but it came out great! Can't wait to see it full of wood!
Did anyone else notice that they set the block (where he had to knock off the top VEEs) in backwards. It was design to set into the corner and lock both ways to the second row.
The blocks have a pattern on one side. They placed the block with the pattern on the outside.
The block was made for the other corner.
Should’ve just turned the block around
Can't believe Mike didn't figure that out duh!!!
@@anthonystubblefield4987 can't.
One end has the V out, the other end has the V in.
Kinda hard to lock together.
Duh!
Yes Richard it would be stronger to spin it. but they are tongue and groved on ends. You would have two groved touching and the tongue sticking😜 out the corner. So it looks nicer Mike's way 🤐 and it's only two high
Perfect for what you want to do, Mike !! Now, fill it up and start selling !!
that kx057 should have no problem picking them up
Making great progress. I look forward to her seeing how you are going to operate in there.
I was wondering how you would deal with sawdust but I’ve watched you long enough to know that you probably have a plan for everything
That bin turned out nice .... time consuming to set them but well worth it ....you will get alot of use out f it ....( I'm the driver that set them )
That looks awesome can’t wait to your fillet and congrats to Levi I think that was a great choice it gives him some time with his family and some other stuff but I can’t wait to see all the new stuff that you guys are bringing in

Another first class project Mike awesome setup my friend great system for firewood production
Boy that would make a great compost bin
LOOKS GREAT!!
Saw dust and bark will slow the flow of water coming out too the firewood on the bottom will be soaked. Now you got to build a high roof so you can have clean and dry firewood.

Nice. Concrete approximately 150 pounds per cubic foot so 3600 pounds (2x2x6). Are you going to seal joints with caulk
At least you're making progress
Looks good Morgan’s, have a good week!
From Northwestern Vermont
What Im seeing with that firewood bin is the base for a COVERALL shelter.Keep that wood even drier.Looks good.
