Whats up guys!! Things were falling apart and needed to be addressed, but now we're back in action and moving forward! Thank you all so much for the well wishes and for checking on us in our absence. We're super happy to be back and working on ofuture as husband and wife💍💍👰🤵
Congrats to both of you. Here is a blessing for a happy future!
CONGRATS!!! WISH ALL THE HEALTH IN THE WORLD FOR U......AND REMEMBER HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE SIR.....
Well done guys! ❤❤❤
Congratulations guys. I knew when I didn't get my Sunday Morning GBU fix a couple weeks ago that you guys were doing the deed. I've been watching for years and I've seen every episode you two have put out. Best of luck to both of you and much love. Doc
Being an active boater, I have been watching the farm take all that rain. I thought that was what kept you off the channel last week. But no! It was love raining down that kept you off. Good luck! Keep the communication going between you. It’s key. As for the flooding down the hill, strategic placement of runoff channels directing the water to the creek and away from your infrastructure will be required. “Flat” ground is not good. You need a bit of slope or the heavy rain will pool on the flat until evaporation and ground penetration take it away. Study your plan. Don’t be in too much of a hurry. You want to do it right the first time.
Congrats on getting married. You guys are perfect together.
Six months in the jungle and we built a fence?
Don't forget the stucoed walls, a gate, a concrete driveway, a road, a chicken coop, a goat shed and yard, a rain catchment system, a garden.... and more, I'm sure, besides.
Congratulations on your marriage. I love how Matt presents himself as this "he-man," but when he talks to you or about you he does so with so much thoughtfulness and respect. It's my favorite part of watching your videos.
she's terrific ; ) and certainly recognizes a good man... so rare for a young woman to show such commitment and loyalty
Ditto. They are clearly a loving and considerate couple, despite what Matt says!
Making sure the wood vertical boards dont touch the ground is the best way to prevent boards becoming moldy where the moisture doesnt have a chance to breath and be dry.
Expansion in wet weather will be a problem as well if you don't put some spacing between the boards.
We did say so .....
also, are there no termites there?
Treated fence boards will help also and agree with the space and keeping them out of the dirt from experience
At least a nail width between the boards. That will help with expansion and let the boards dry.
Congratulations on your marriage .I'm 70 and my wife and I will celebrate our 2nd anniversary in August.Glad you had the time off but missed you just the same .Love the channel keep up the great work.
Congratulations!! My man finally made his sweetheart a honest woman!!! Only the best to the two of you. Many Blessings from our Good Lord upon you both as you continue this journey together!!!
Congratulations on the wedding! Matt -- fellow DIYer here. My man, prioritize infrastructure first: Road and drainage, house build site prep. Fence last. Pulling for your success.
The fence got prioritized by rampant indiscriminant animal abandonment, which stopped fully when folks realized it wasn't vacant property.
Congratulations on your wedding, enjoy many happy years together.
Congrats on marriage! You’ve done well! Matt you may need a french drain to route the water away from your fence. You could still have the gravel in front of fence. Gravel over the French drain you wouldn’t even notice the drain was there because it would be buried under the gravel and it would still drain really good.
I agree. If you don't address the problem of the water running along the fence line during the next heavy downpour, you will lose the post(s) again no matter how much you reinforce them. You have to get the water away from the fence. Water is a very powerful force.
we just spent 8K for a replacement bulkhead/seawall. Water will always find its way unless you conquer it.
Large french drain FTW
I think instead of digging fence posts. I would start digging ditches to make sure the water goes away and doesn’t puddle. Good luck. Talk to a neighbor and see what they think of the rain. Later.
I live in Florida and, after 3 rotted out wooden fences (in 8 years), we finally went with PVC. It's only been up a year, and hasn't faced a hurricane yet, but it still looks great so far. There are several large PVC fences around us that are still standing after several hurricanes and look good. I think they are worth the extra cost, so if these fences don't work out you might consider PVC. Or block it up, the should stop anything!
Face it Matt your going to be building the rest of your life Brother! It takes a lifetime to build a dream, enjoy the ride.
I’m very happy that you guys are now married and back on UA-cam for your videos. I enjoy watching them every week.
The fence is becoming its own character on your channel-it’s starting its slow burn, super villain arc.
As a thought, you live in a rain forest . When you build your house use cement and steel. Coat the steel with a rust inhibiter . Living where it rains daily, don't build anything out of wood ever. Unless the wood is in the house . Resurch before you build your house in the jungle .Just something to consider ? Good Luck !
This ☝️
Wood is fine, if he used the right kind of wood, and installed it correctly. Dude just doesn't like to listen to people. But it ensures engagement this way, so good for the channel I guess.
Using dry concrete mix and adding water in place is in my experiance, an iffy proposition. Mix the concrete with the water well and then pour it into the hole. The dry method works better with slabs where the water has a better chance to mix well then with a deep hole.
In tropical places, locals use stone or concrete fences. Wood will just rot. There's a reason they built the house at the top of the hill by the road. If you don't build your house up off the ground, Your house is going to rot down in that valley. Good luck and congrats on your marriage.
100% agree… we in Malaysia face same weather… good to reconsider
Cinder block house like in Florida???
@@mohdzakiahmad6075 Same in Thailand. Wood rots and gets eaten by termites, steel rusts, plastic gets eaten by the sun. Stone and concrete is about the best building material. Always build on high ground or monsoon rains will flood everything.
Such a great recommendation. Wood absorbs, mold is a live bacteria and grows. Doesn’t matter if you cover, seal, or paint wood. It doesn’t stop a live mold from penetrating. Once you have mold, it won’t go away. Part of life. Thus cement is the best course to mitigate mold. Cinder block is a porous material that allows growth in. Painting cinder block hinders osmosis and will bubble paint if the moisture that has been absorbed, can’t escape. Cement.
There's a reason ancient structures like the Pyramids or Machu Picchu still stand after hundreds of years. Stone or cement is the material of choice. If ya still want to build down the hill, build on pilings like a Florida beach house. You could go for a treehouse-ish vibe. LOL Best of luck!
So great job on getting married. On the subject of rain run-off. I live in Arizona, and we get from 8-12" of rain a year. But if you look around the whole Phoenix area, there are amazingly designed ditches, culverts, canals, gutters, etc. to get rid of rain when it does come. And when it comes here in monsoon season it may pour 2" in a few hours so the rain has to be diverted somewhere so it does not cause damage. So for you guys just remember to design fencing, driveways, house structures to receive large amounts of run-off and divert it around things that will get damaged. It is more expensive up front but in the long run will protect your investment and keep you sane.
Six months in the jungle and we built a fence. Omg that was hilarious
sad but true. It it ground hog day for us
Just like teak on a boat, the fence boards will turn Grey. Let it happen. The alternative is to water seal regularly. Also, if the bottom of the fence boards are touching the soil, especially in a rain forest, give up on stopping it from happening.
Congrats and wishing you 2 a great life together. We are all glad you’re back
Congratulations on your marriage!! We could never fire you! Life is a world of challenges! The fence came out GREAT! I look forward to Sunday's to see what project you have going next! You both are AWESOME!!
Congrats on getting married! 💞 what a beautiful couple and wedding! I’m glad you turned off your social media when you were gone and just relaxed! Love your tenacity to never give up on your fence and all your other projects! Love how your animals are all precious to you! I’m 61 and wish I still had your all’s energy! 42 years married. True love is amazing! I always smile watching your videos!😊
Congrat’s on the wedding. Matt looked awesome in his tux and Kristen was a beautiful bride. May your lives together be blessed and long.
Congrats!!! We missed you. Great Job.
We missed yall too! We're glad to be back 🎉
Now listen up you two. The pair of you have been my two favourite nuts since vid 1. To suddenly lose you without any explanation
did serious damage to my blood pressure and the injury to my stress level could have been terminal. It’s good to have you back !!
I'm sure they advised everyone that watched their previous episode what was happening.
Preach!!!
They don't care about you tube viewers you have to be a patreon member to get updates.
I, too, was concerned but kept reminding myself you were away for the wedding. So happy you had a wonderful time and are back with your channel family.
You need French drains at the fence to carry the water away and protect the fence from sinking. French drains would be helpful in your house area for the same reasons.
Congratulations on the marriage. You two are though as nails so y'all got what it takes to fight to keep the marriage alive. Never give up and never go to bed mad at each other and never tell each other "no". We are going on 25 years and that's the advice we were given. The loving is still going strong here. My wife is truly my best friend.
45 years ago we bought a small ranch. We chose block and wrought iron over wood because of durability. I chose Ipe for decking to avoid wood splinters and fire danger. When you are DIY, better materials are worth to cost. At 75 yrs old choices at 30 make life now easier.
Congratulations you guys are the best.
Congrats Mr. and Mrs. !! Now back to work .... My Sunday mornings were just not the same without you two.. Welcome back : )
Congrats on the wedding!! I think those fence boards have a better chance if you put the screws in from the front, through the vertical fence board first, then into the support structure. Right now the next wind storm may cause you some more problems.
Welcome back guys glad everything went according to plan. Back at it now. Matt ditched his tux and has donned his Tom Hanks signature Castaway collection series button-up (with both buttons accounted for) and custom rip under armpit. Now that’s the SGBU that we love and miss. Getter done!
Hi guys, congratulations with your marriage. Hope everything works out well for you and start of the kids we need a little Matts around
Thanks!🎎 Congratulations on the Wedding, Uncle Matt and Kristen.
Congrats! Now for your biggest adventure in this life: raise some great babies and enjoy the adventure. When you're 68 like me, you will look back and be glad you did. You have the homestead, a great boat, a solid team...just do it!
so for the mold issue use 1 to 1 linseed oil and mineral spirits in a garden sprayer, do that once a yr and your all good..
Do not leave linseed oil or oily rags in the sun, they spontaneously combust.
Please don't do this, it's absolutely terrible for the environment, and vegetation, ground water, and all the critters. Just use the right sealer/stain, and clean with deck cleaner every year or two. I cringed hard seeing him spraying an oil based stain, in the jungle.
Congratulations guys all the very best for your future, ❤️❤️🏴
It's a GREAT fence, built of LOVE, hard sweat and some tears.
Matt, you're a hero and both of you will enjoy the fruits of your skill building trials and victories for the rest of your lives.
And you both chose the best partners, individually, to build a life together; congratulations.
Thanks for sharing.
I’m waiting for the video where you add what you have waisted building a wood fence and say I should have just built a block wall and saved money.
Congratulations. Please think about directing the water. You may need an engineer who can draw out a plan for directing water flow. It is amazing how it can preserve an area. Think about the terrace gardens in ancient sites. ❤
So glad you are back! Way to go Nephew Matt! You put a ring on it! I did not know what to do on Sunday mornings without y’all. Front Loops and GBU is what I do!
On that fence, I used to clean fences for a living, pump up sprayer and some pool chlorine. Mix it 2 to 1 and test it on a small moldy area. Should disappear before your eyes!
Papa G
50% bleach / 50% water sprayed on worked really well for me
Nephew Matt you ARE DA MAN! Keep the great content coming! Y’all are awesome and I am glad that soft wash solution worked!
Congrats Kristen and Matt on tying the knot. I have to mention Kristen’s editing skills, girl you are a pro!
U gotta seal the back side too. If u don't , one side will absorb water, one won't. This will cause the boards to cup horribly. Glad your back .
Congratulations on your wedding, and welcome back.
Hello amazing people, congratulations on your marriage. The reason the 'concrete' washed out is because it will mostly still be powder underneath, and therefore was not concrete... simply pouring water on top of that stuff results in very poor foundations... The Best thing would be to at least premix it with water before you pour it in, or mix real concrete... Best Wishes, God is Good, Shalom
Yep.
I've been watching these channels for the last 8 yrs or so, Delos, Sailing Vagabond, sailing Nandji, Ric Moore, Drenched, Sailing Doodles, Sailing good bad ugly-I like you guys, you are down to earth and live in the real world like me, nothing worth having comes easy, you have to want it and work for it! and that's what you two do, just like all these other SV channels peoples.
Hey folks. Congrats on the nuptials. But Please put screws through the boards FIRST , then into supports. All the strength is there. Looks great though. You guys put your heart and soul into everything. Congrats again.
Interestingly there are arid areas and moist areas in New Mexico for example the hills or mountains are brown similarly in Arizona, in PR and other areas not so far away the mountains are green with lots of vegetation and that takes Lots of rain.. At this pint you take your pick as to what you prefer and most will choose not to complain about their own decision
Did they treat the back sided of the fence as well. Which discretion does the fence point?
Congratulations on ur wedding, missed u guys a lot, sad that u guys had some damage on ur property but aiii am thankful that u guys are safe!!! Keep rooting.
_weeding_ ? My mind boggles!
@@wallykramer7566 sorry English teacher, forgive me am just a human being I do make mistakes.
Here in Romania, newlyweds are wished a "stone house" in the idea that a stone house resists all the forces of nature and protects the family, so I wish you and have a "stone house" 👩❤👨
Congrats!!! The sneak peak you two kids looked fabulous!!
Congratulations you guys are the best
Ahoy there married couple, I am in SW Florida and find the best treatment for a wooden fence is to spray it once or twice a year with bleach solution that is half water. It preserves the wood, makes it look nice and clean, kills mold and raises hell with the insects. Be sure the spray applicator is rated for bleach. Most cannot handle it and the internal parts melt down.
Now I know how you managed to get such a beautiful Lady seeing your wedding pictures you clean up and Make a good looking Guy. All the Best in your New Journey as husband and wife. !!
The colour is real real good … looks richer than before and more professionally done … personally love it
It’s over single bros
Congratulations!
Stain is fine with added mildgeside then add Thomson Water seal that is clear on both sides.
Welcome back and congratulations. Missed you guys like crazy!
I’ve been following you since you first started to sail. I found myself in panic when and literally flipped when you went awol .. . We were all aware of your pending wedding but wasn’t expecting it to have taken place already. What a relief … and a hearty congratulations for your beautiful marriage. Wishing you many happy years together ❤
Congratulations you two!!!
I figured out, 35 years ago, that if you do it right the first time, it only hurts once.
You two bring me so much joy!
That's why we don't use wood in tropical weather country's, the wood rots much faster
Tony & Susan Here, With those conditions 4 80lb bags and mix prior to putting in the hole or it will not cure properly and be brittle. Just saying , Oh and congratulations on gettin hitched. We got 35 in so far.
Glad you’re back . So fun watching your channel.
So glad you’re back, we missed you 🥰 Congratulations 🍾 and glad you took time for yourselves, you both deserved that!
Congratulations on your marriage
Congrats and Welcome Back !!!!
Glad you’re back and Congradulations ! 🎉
Need a Stilt House plan to avoid the mud if you plan to build down under. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Congratulations! Have a Happy Life together!❤️
Welcome back. Good to see you both happy and healthy. fence looks great.
Congrat's on the wedding, first of all. Now the fun stuff;
Can't pressure wash wood, Matt. It just opens up the wood fibers to absorb even more water. Deck cleaner, scrub brush, garden hose... Your mold problem is going to come back worse the next time, and it will come back. Do things right, or do things again and again. Eventually you will be forced to do it correctly, it's just a matter of how much time, money, and frustration you will deal with along the way. Those boards are doing exactly what many people said they would. Soaking up water, from the bottom, top, and edges. Shouldn't have them touching the ground, at all. See how the bottoms are black? That's because wood is a sponge, especially open end grain. You need an air space at the bottom, full stop. Need to cap the tops, and GAP the boards. You can't have them installed tight like that. The way you put it together ensured its failure. Those screws broke because of how you installed them, from the wrong side. Dry pouring concrete is not good, it does not cure properly, stays very soft and crumbly, which isn't what you want in bad soil with rainy season four months of the year. The stain you used was an interior stain, not what you need for outside in a tropical environment. You need deck/siding stain, which has things in it to prevent mold, and the damage you see the boards taking from all the water and sun. The Behr stuff will be better than what you used before, but you should spend the extra hundred dollars and get Sikkens, or Cabot. Behr is homeowner garbage. It won't last nearly as long, but it is better than what you used initially. You want a solid, or semi solid base stain/sealer for outside stuff down there. Better yet; paint. UV light destroys wood, transparent stains do not block the UV.
Tried to warn you guys. So many of your problems could easily have been avoided, if you just took some advice instead of charging ahead blindly.
Oh, and you can tell which direction wood will twist/cup by the endgrain/growth ring direction. Nobody goes into this kind of stuff knowing everything, but please learn to take advice! It will make your work so much more rewarding, and you will enrich your knowledge, and keep building your understanding of construction. There's a lot to know. Ask questions, and be careful whom you listen to. Everybody wants to appear the expert, not many are.
You have a good channel, and golden opportunity with your property. Don't waste it by doing things in short sighted ways. Read, learn... do.
Congrats, and good to have you back!
Congratulations!!! Happy for you two.
Hate to burst your bubbles,but the type of fencing you have chosen is a never ending job to keep it looking nice. I made the mistake years ago.
Sorry I neglected to congratulate you on your marriage. I was seriously worried when I couldn't raise your channel for two weeks, and then with a perfectly straight face, Kristen comes on the air and says you're no longer engaged. I was like, 'Oh NO!" Thank goodness you clarified what you meant a moment later. Whew. Anyway, Kristen, Matt, my wife have been married for 47 years and I can tell you're going to go the distance. Your love for each other shines through your video presentations and is a lesson to us all.
Mold spores are in the air, there's no way to just paint over it. It's also quite a health problem to people with asthma. In such a humid environment it's a periodically necessary chore to apply an anti-mold solution. Then you can stain or paint.
One more comment on the drive drainage - as you experienced many times on board your yacht, water cannot be compressed and so becomes very abrasive and forceful when in motion. Be sure to line the ditches with gravel after you lay down the sand for abrasion resistance and to slow the torrents. Then construct the channel to the pond and the damn's emergency outfall channel the same way - graded clay ditch, sand liner, then gravel top layer. The gravel should be the larger coarse type about the size of your closed fist or larger, not the pea gravel you've been using for the landscaping in front of the fence. Its purpose is to stay in place and slow the velocity of the water, especially because the clay soil will resist absorbing the water, hence the flooding. It means more work but once it's done, it'll be well worth it. God bless your marriage and your hard, hard work building your dream the way you both envision it. Cheers!
Firstly. congratulations on the wedding. Secondly, you guys are making huge progress with the fence. When you are done, you will have a great property to live on.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You two looked great!!
We missed you and we're happy you're back
Congratulations! I'm sure the wedding was lovely. Great to have you back. As always, be well!
I really, truly missed your videos. But so happy for you. I noticed the wedding bands. Your friend is truly a friend with his care for the animals. The fence looks fine. Move on to the mountain of projects you have which we enjoy so very much seeing your skills and love for each other.. Hugs
Having lived in Panama for years, An easy mold control is ,100% strength bleach applied with a garden sprayer. no scrubbing just wait. if stubborn staining re-apply. Do not pressure wash, it drives the mold spores into the wood fibers and the mold will return. To keep it from returning, dissolve laundry Borax in hot water, then mix this into a water based paint or stain and it acts as a biocide and keeps the mold from returning.. Make sure you soak the end grain well as the mold follows wicking water.
CONGRATULATIONS so happy for the BOTH OF YOU...
Good to have you back! Congratulations on your wedding.
Great to see you back. Congratulations on the wedding.
It's interesting to see so many people build solid fences which capture the wind like sails. It doesn't take much pressure from the wind to flex the fence panels /posts and before you know it water will straight down under the post footing.
Either stagger the slats either side of the rails allowing the wind through (it helps a lot), or plant hedges. Sure hedges take much longer to grow and require regular maintenance, but people for some reason always want to know whats behind a fence where as people just look at hedges (and they're better for the wildlife).
agreed
congradulations! The fence looks great and it is good to have you back.
Glad to have you back and that allswell. The fence looks better than before. Cheers
OMG!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you guys!!! Many blessings for your union!!!!
Congratulations you two! Matt, you're a blessed man! I missed you two and am glad you're back.
CONGRATULATIONS!! love you GUYS!! GOD BLESS!!
I was having separation anxiety. Glad you’re back and a big Gratz to you both.
Great to see you guys back on line . congratulations on your wedding !
Don't worry, you're doing great. You are in training that's life.
Aww....Married! I'm so glad you're back! Love to see more wedding pictures. Congratulations! Homesteading is a never-ending task. Someday, you'll catch up. 😂❤
Congratulations on the wedding! I was wandering why there were no new videos! Glad your back ❤
Congratulations Guys good to see you back 😃
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉🍾 I’m so happy for you!
