    What a great job! When you were standing on the pallet, I was thinking, perhaps screening the sides so that snakes don’t go under the platform to cool off

    Dry pour is interesting. Cool video! To find high a low spots, wait until night, then lay a flashlight on the surface and sweep the beam from side to side.

    A small table, cooler, and a couple chairs off to the side, and you'll have a 19th hole.

    As a professional artificial turf installer myself I’m sorry to tell you brother this job won’t make it longer then a year. The native soil is not structurally sound to keep grade. None then less still entertaining to watch.

    8 more holes and you can have a par 3 course.

    Wow! Great job! Looks so much better than the first attempt! I would highly suggest you get a hand trunk or a gorilla cart for lugging around bags of heavy stuff like sand and concrete. We love our gorilla cart. Well worth the money!

    2:20 that voiceover was rough man. You got a decent mic setup? I sell audio gear. Happy to hook you up with a deal and free shipping...

    • @ElementLife
      @ElementLife  Рік тому

      Thanks man! What specifically was rough about the voiceover? I'm pretty new to audio editing and recording.
      I have a Rode NT1 5th Gen. I used the USB plugin and recorded & edited directly in Audacity. I also have the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 but have not used it yet for voiceovers.

    • @FreeMissions
      @FreeMissions Рік тому

      @@ElementLife I see. Maybe the gain staging was bad then? Filtered? Maybe you are speaking too softly and then raised the gain a bunch which brought up all the ambient background noise? Did you record this outside? The NT1 is a decent mic. You might get more control with your gain using the 2i2. Maybe a reflection shield will help you isolate your voice more. Speaking louder possibly will give you less need to raise up the overall volume which will help with the background noises. Something about it sounds off. It's boomy.

    So your favorite activities are surfing and golf. This makes no sense for you life choice of buying property in the desert.
