Neiman you are in total beast mode breaking those boulders! Wow! That was great! Good job!
Nieman got his workout breaking those boulders! Love your creativity with this build. You used those barrels for many things and it looks amazing
You guys are great together. Love the court yard.
I love the drone footage! Especially the last shot where Lauren is talking and then you zoom out and up. AWESOME! And what a great space to build wonderful memories.
Lauren, I can't believe how hands on you are with everything!! Neiman is one lucky guy!!
Great job! Thanks for sharing. If the bugs ever get in your area, you can put a tall tent pole in the center near the fire pit and then drape mosquito netting over the entire area. We recently purchased mosquito netting to cover our patio table and chair set which has an umbrella. The mosquito netting has a hole in the center to accommodate the umbrella. The bottom of the net has weights to prevent the wind from blowing it around. The net also has a slit with magnets which serves as a "door". No more gnats, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, bats, and flies to deal with, especially when we are dining outside.
It's beautiful. What a great job.
WOW! Y'all did a FANTASTIC job! Looks GREAT!
It looks soooooo very, very nice. Enjoy.
The end results of any project accomplished is a great satisfaction, you guys did a great job, hope you enjoy it with your family and friends, thanks for sharing 💪👍😊
fun for me to watch you two on 2xspeed - so much youth and energy! - You are good teachers .... happy to support your family. carry on. the space is very cool / would love to hang there. Great use of the barrel/post/planter concept - the lights really set the space off
Great job, the fire pit area looks beautiful. And as I said before, there are going to be nice, cool nights spent around that fire pit! Enjoy, take care, stay safe.
You guys work so good together. Great idea by the way. Love it.
Great teamwork!! Love the tip about the concrete fill to stabilize the poles!!
Trust me, you saved a bundle along with the satisfaction of doing it yourselves. You both did a great job, looks great!
I love watching you guys. I share your adventures together with my fiancé. He loves it, too. You know, you could add some perennial violas or hardy pansies to the edge of your whiskey barrels for blooms from spring until fall. That would extend your bloom time. Violas and hardy pansies tend to come to garden centers in fall or spring. They offer some vibrant colors and will add to the cheer! 🙂 Congrats! Awesome project. Love it!
That looks so great!! It’s even big enough if you wanted to put tables around the perimeter (inside) for a speak easy vibe. People can sit around them if they get too warm around the fire. Or just to nosh on some chips and salsa.
Outside the perimeter could do the same for larger parties. Net you could put some games between the shop snd fire pit, like horseshoes. You could also put - perhaps on the opposite side (away from the extension cord) a sandbox for the littles.
Lots of fun to be had!
What a lovely place to hang out, well done you two. Xx
Nice work...it will make a great place to create some new memories with family & friends! I would suggest though later you might wanna consider running 1/8th inch cable as a support for your lights later, it will keep your light strands more taunt.
Love it, I’m so going to use your idea about the posts in the barrels! Looks fab.
This fire pit area turned out amazing !! Y'all will enjoy this for a long time to come. It'll make a great place to relax after a hard day at the shop. Thanks for a great video Lauren and Neiman !!
It really looks great , your hard work paid off . We put up lights in our tini yard and then used a smart plug so we could just Alexa to turn them on !! It's worth it , it makes me so happy just to see those lights turned on .
You two have done a fantastic job! Hope you have lots of great times there!
Looks amazing! S’mores for everyone! Job well done.
I am really enjoying the variety you are adding to your channel. This outdoor project showed your creativity and definitely Nieman's professional video/editing skills! The videos are looking great! I married an audio producer many years ago and know how much time it takes to get the editing right...amazing work! Your channel reminds me of some great programming that HGTV used to offer years ago before they became the "real estate" channel. They had programs from independent production companies all over the country that featured home improvement and decorating projects for all budgets...not just high $ stuff and house flipping. I miss the Monday videos, but understand quality takes time, so keep up the good work and thanks so much for your enjoyable content!!! The patio/light/firepit project looks wonderful...enjoy!!!
The bricks, blocks and even smaller rocks are also good for drainage in the barrel planters
I enjoy watching you two work together. What a great accomplishment.
Woohoo, it all looks fantastic!! You both done an awesome job!
Yeah spray your barrels with a sealer and they will last a lot longer ❤️
It came out great! I am sure you will have some good times there!!!
Looks so good. Nice place to just relax at the end of the day. It was fun to see the two of you working together as a team drilling the holes in the beams and screwing in the screws. The concrete pieces in the bottom of the barrels will also be good for drainage.
Love the barrel idea with string lights. I cant wait to use that idea at our new house. As always thanks for such great videos.
This is awesome! Loved watching your dreams/visions come true and look so great. Enjoy all the family time you'll spend around it!
Love the idea of putting barrels instead of cementing posts in the ground.
Turned out great. A great feeling to be able to appreciate and relax in the fruits of your labor. Love the look of the barrels.
Aww! It looks really great! And how fun to have family & friends around to enjoy it with! I love watching the two of you working on projects together, my husband & I loved working together too! ( He passed away in 2014 & it's not as much fun doing projects alone so enjoy each other)
Looks Fantastic! And so satisfying for you both when you look out at it I am sure. ENJOY!
Looks Awesome!!!! Doing DIY projects yourself is so rewarding! Hardwork but when it is done the feeling of achievement makes it so worth it!
It is absolutely stunning you both did an awesome job I loved watching each and every step what you took to create this beautiful piece you're both so blessed to have such a true love I know the feeling because I'm married to my best friend and I can't wait to show him what you've done but maybe him and I could do something like this together thanks for sharing and God bless you both
You two are such a great team! It’s beautiful!
You did an awesome job! Mums do come back each year but they are a little tricky! Just an FYI, read up on it! Love all that you do!
Looks great. Fyi. You should protect barrels with waterproofing.
I had been thinking of doing the whiskey barrels with concrete and appreciate the idea of putting blocks in them instead!
It looks great Lauren and Neiman. Good job.
Always excited when a new video is posted!
Turned out amazing. Wow love it.🤗🤗🤗
Wow …. Looks very inviting and relaxing. You guys work well together. 👏
I really liked how you attached the post to the barrels! Looks really nice
This looks amazing!!! Great job !!
Turned out very kewel ❣ Lauren you seem to have unlimited energy ❣ Blessings to you both ❣
Wow! Looks gorgeous! You guys did an amazing job! Love Neiman’s imitation of a Neanderthal. The dog looks like he was having a blast flying around
That area looks nice and it's always good to have a place to relax!! I am glad you didn't fill the barrels with cement since we all know you will have to move someday.
This is beautiful. Would love to have this. Marshmallows.. yum! Congratulations. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you.
That looks amazing! I've been researching how to do something similar in my yard so it's great to see the amazing work you did !
You are really making your house a home. That’s a wonderful addition to your property!
You two are amazing. Beautiful design
Carefully and skillfully planned. Nice work!
That truck is really coming in handy!! Please make sure to put drain holes in the bottom of the barrels if you are wanting to plant flowers in the barrels.
Great job on the project so far guys!! Using the barrels as planters also is a fantastic idea. Just my 2 cents but, you can clear out the area adjacent to the road & plant some 6' Green Giant Arbovitae's & they'll grow 3-4' a year. It will greatly reduce the road noise. Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!
Block tossing could be a new yard game.
Under 8,000 more subscribers and you will hit 100,000. What an accomplishment.
Beautiful job!
Wow lot of work and it looks great!
I Love this hang out space. ..And I Love the whiskey barrel posts /flower beds ...just Some Really Good inspiration ...and what a beautiful way for family gatherings and Roasted Marshmallows are the Best. ..Even Hotdogs on sticks. ...yummm ...Well done y'all👍😊❣️
Beautiful!!!
Those drone shots are sooooo 😎 cool!!
Just a suggestion. You may want to put a few extra metal screws through the bands holding the barrell together. We had put one in our backyard many years ago for flowers. After about 2 years, the entire thing collapsed and made a huge mess. We re-did our landscaping almost 4 years ago and my landscaper suggested whiskey barrels. When I told him of our previous issues, he did a few things that seem to be working. I wanted them off the ground so that water could properly drain through the holes he drilled in the bottom. Just sitting them directly on the ground didn't give the water any real way to drain in our original one. We had tons of leftover bricks in our garage from when we built our house, so he elevated each of the barrells on the bricks. Next thing he did was to add several additional metal screws through the metal bands to give the sides more support. The last thing I asked him to do was to use some heavy black plastic to line the barrells. So far, so good.
Great suggestions! I also mentioned same experience with barrels, under bettie’s comment.
Nice job guys!
Aww, I LOVE this! I love mums and pansies. It would look super cute if you added pansies to the barrels. Those barrels are perfect. I live in Jack Daniel’s Country so I have a feeling if our Home Depot or Lowe’s has them I better go get them right now. 😆💯💞
AMAZING Lauren and Neaman, you both work so well together. Sorry if I spelled his name wrong.
OH MY GOSH! THIS IS INSANE! You guys need your own TELEVISION SHOW! This is just sooooooo good! I can hardly STAND IT! Are there any adjacent properties for sale? I need to be y'alls neighbor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a CORGI, too! Her name is Piper! Imma thinkin' we'd fit RIGHT in! Oh and one more thing--we also flip furniture! teehee! PRAISE THE LORD! You guys are FANTASTIC!
I'm enjoying watching this project come along. It's looking good! I had to tell you that I got tickled when Neiman sat his drink down and it almost fell over while he walked away and when he came back and went to pick it up he noticed the angle of it and took a sip without a word. It's the little things. 😂😂
Fantastic!
Great job you guys! It’s educational to watch you guys and learn. Your property is beautiful with all that leftover concrete you could build a walk way or even an outdoor patio for free! Way to recycle. God Bless…….
Great job you guys! Looks so nice!
Strong work!! It looks very cozy! ❤
So cool! I gotta try this sometime. 😊🌻❤️
Should use some of those tree trunks that were over where you got the blocks from and out them around as seating .
It looks amazing!
Turned out beautiful. I love it
Great idea at 14:.44 for drainage! Si' por favor!
Woohoo for the niece!!!!
Very nice Lauren!! 👌🏻💜🌸🪵 loved it!!
Fantastic job guys, you are now in the business to build fire pits. 😀 The dog loves all his running room.🤗
Beautiful fire place.
NEED TO PUSH THESE TWO OVER 100,000!!!!!!! 💜🙌💜
Money well spent! Looks great, good job.
You guys need a wheel barrel!!! Great job, i love to see your hard work come to life!!!!

I love it, it looks great
I bought the same lights from Amazon for our campground site!
I don’t see the link in the description box for the lights. Everything looks great.
Love it
A rototiller may have helped with leveling the ground around the area. If you put a screw driver in the Eye bolt you can twist it faster and deeper than your fingers.
