Except that the bags do not bind to one another this way....could have just stacked bricks...
Great idea. My front culvert got washed out again last week. We had 11 inches of rain in 2 hours here in Northwest Arkansas. I'm looking for ideas and yours was pretty good.
I'm curious how you like your carport, specifically with the one side closed in like it is. Was that to keep sun off of the fifth wheel?
Hello, We love the Rv awning. The one side was to just give us a closed in wall so we could store stuff without it getting wet. The sun mostly shined on the other side so we added a shade screen.
@@BlueSpringFarm Thank you! good to know.
New subscriber, we just bought some land in Indiana and will be moving on to it next year while we build our home. I'm going to be doing a similar RV carport for our fifth wheel, thanks for the video! I look forward to checking out your channel a bit more!
A quick update would be great!
Good video except for that obnoxious background noise.
I always thought they had to be dug more into the ground, guess not. I feel much better now about how I just threw mine into the ditch and dumped dirt over it. well rock actually.
I just ran across your channel this morning and I've been sitting here for hours watching all of your videos on your RV Barn, you guys kind of remind us of what we just did we were on the road for 3 years in a fifth wheel trailer, and as you said 15 months is a long time 3 years is ridiculous, we also had a house built and we love being in the house but we do miss traveling we still have a motorhome that we do some traveling in feel free to check out our videos if you wish, thanks for all the good videos
Thank you for the kind words! We’ll definitely check out your videos🙂
This is miraculous!! Thank you
Can’t really see what your doing
Who go to drive it in women powder puff races at southern oklahoma speedway ardmore oklahoma
Is the passage washed out yet or you repaired it?
It’s still standing and has been great!
Never enough time or money to do it right the first time...
This is best decision we’ve ever made. Worked well for us and still standing like new!
Looks great, I love the blue pine.
Right! Thank you😁
were did you get your rain water system
Tanks are from Home Depot and mostly all the parts are too.👍🏻
how much was the gravel?
what did you use on your land. the black pathway?
Lazy mens job
Yes. Like for my husband. Better than nothing.
This is something I've been wanting to do on my land near San Saba, TX to get away from the city. I currently live in DFW and its quickly becoming a damn headache that I'm sick of dealing with lol.
Absolutely! If you need any help or advice feel free to let us know! Cabin is coming together nicely and we only have about $25k invested for material and some labor. Expected to spend around 35k or so once fully complete.
A 22-pound bag cost here in New Zealand US$6.25 …
Very nice video! Nice looking land and Rv. I can't wait to move on my land soon 🤞🏽
I was just wondering (and I see you are from Texas)... I see some people really insulating their floors with thick insulation pads like Rockwool or such alike. I have also seen people following your method with the reflective barrier (1:50). Are you using this method because a thick floor insulation isn't neccessary due to the temperatures in Texas? Why would one choose one method over the other? Hopefully you can clarify this for me. I hope to build my own cabin one day and I'm gathering inspiration through your and other videos. Therefore, thank you very much. Your videos are very enjoyable and informational.
You are very ambitious but you are young and talented
I don’t use slide out stabilization. At some point you’ll forget they’re under the slides, or the slide will settle, and be damaged. Your other stabilization looks good.
Honey, do your old windows not open... OMG The TX heat... I'm from Pflugerville (Austin) TX area transplanted to Cloudcroft, NM & I would have DIED with no cross-breeze! Cabin looks ahhhhmazing!❤ Sorry if I'm late to the build but I just found your channel. Totally recognized the mesquite trees... where abouts are y'all?
You have your hurricane straps put on the rafters? How do you have the rest of the building secured to the ground?
🙋 💪 F I N A L L Y 🎉 Someone raising , installing a tubular structure 👍👍🙏🙏✌️ Showing details 👍 thanks ..
So none of the windows will open ?
You guys laid some big pipe!
Burn that paper off
Any update? Would love to see how it looks after 2 months 🙂
Yes! It’s been brutal in Texas this summer with no rain in over 2 months. The clover is thriving next to the bushes but dying everywhere else, they just take a lot of water with the extreme temps and we may have missed a few days of making sure they got water.😬 But they will come back and look great for fall and spring!
@@BlueSpringFarm Oh good to know - we're replacing our grass with clover and it's going well - might do something like what you did in our backyard
@@heroaomedia Nice! Hope all goes well. We like the pavers, inexpensive and actually pretty useful.
Great job!!
Its looking nice even if not finished yet but yall are doing good
July is the perfect time of year for this! Nice work!!
Us are sweat. Sweat is we. sWEat. But really, send help and soap.
Right!😅
Question, did you say you were only going to have one door in the cabin and are your windows going to be fixed in place. If this is true, you need two doors for emergency evacuation and bedroom windows should be made to open so that you can get out that way if you have to.
What size are those culvert's?
If I remember correctly they are 36” x 18’
In Australia, that would make a 200-300 dollar job into potential thousands.
Why is that? Soil different? We’re very pleased with how it turned out and still standing strong!💪🏻
@@BlueSpringFarm way cheaper to make a slip form stone wall
@@littlefurrow2437 similar to my thinking, these concrete bags really do not bond one to another. They just become heavy bricks...and create a reasonable abrasion resistance to water, imho. but, they're cheap for their size
You have lax building codes or you are building without a permit. No foundation below a possible frost line. No anchor points. Small floor joists. I am scared to see what is coming up next.
Yes we are in the sticks, no permits required. We’re learning as we go and we will make mistakes but hey we are trying!🤞🏻 Anchors and straps will be very soon.
Perhaps consult a span table before commenting on the "small floor joists"? Looks like 2x6 on 16" centers over a 8' span. Max allowable span is 9' 11". Bigger joists would be a waste. Also, floating foundation is a good cheap method and even used in Alaska. It can be adjusted when settling or frost heave occurs.
@@BlueSpringFarm everything over 120sq ft has to have a permit pulled in Arizona. The span of 2X8s is preferred after seeing how some sheds are overloaded with too much weight. No rebuilding huge V8 on a stand...JS
very ambitious, will be fun to watch the progress :)
How are you going to anchor that building ?
Brilliant
Thanks!🤘🏻
Just a thought around ladders. If with your toes touching the heel of the ladder, and your back straight you can't reach out and grab the ladder then the angle is too shallow and can kick out. Great videos by the way
I guess one rip would be to do the intake side first in case you get a big rain!
Looks great!
Awesome. I always go watch dirt race. Once while im. From lone grove Oklahoma.
Nice
Thank for the upload sir! Im currently building a Sport mod! Researching all the racing here in Oklahoma!
My dream!!!! 😍 thank you so much for this video. I was also thinking of a shelter for the fifth wheeler and introducing down the road fruits and veggies. can't wait! <3 a big investment but will be worth it.
