Concrete with the Hauses Channel, www.youtube.com/@Concretewiththehauses Old Video of Bench Build I made in 2017!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbeagKeYvLq9io0.html

Have you heard the story of the man who was renovating his kitchen? He was replacing a fridge, still worked but he was replacing it. He put it on his lawn with a free sign on it, no takers. He put a $10 sign on it and somebody stole it!

That old bench is what brought me to the Morgans. I was interested in shooting benches at the time. Not really what your channel is about but I happened upon that video and ... not blowing smoke at you but.. it was the best build video I found. you had material listed, saw cuts, measurements and even a view of all the more scrap ends that would be left over after the project was finished. I subscribed to your channel and watched you grow ever since. through the mingo marker, the little red UTV trailer, numerous tractors, machinery and buildings, parties, weddings and births.

Just a heads up on your LCD screen on the kiln. If direct sunlight hits the screen over a period of time it will wash out the display. You can just make a small cover to protect it in case it's going to be exposed. Just a PM idea.

It's nice to see Malissa's sense of humor on the video.

Mike has a fever, and the only prescription is more equipment! 😂. Have an awesome day, Morgans!

Great video, Mike. Yes, I agree with you. That mini skid is going to be the workhorse of the wood yard. Good decision on the concrete floor for the pole barn. After that, the sawmill vacuum system would definitely be a good addition to the sawmill.

Mike.... It was so nice to see the post photograph of you and Melissa on your way to the reunion! You married the "Belle of the Ball!"❤

Kids today definitely need to be brought up from birth to eighteen 'doing without' and learning to appreciate what they have, my daughter used to do the same thing, bring large trash bags of 'new' and 'used once' to Goodwill or Salvation Army, it used to drive me nuts, now she complains about her daughters doing the same thing, and they always complain about not being able to save money ???

Good morning Mike. If you burn those boards that contact the ground black the insects will leave them alone. Charred wood last and last.

Good Morning Morgan family! Love how you are improving the land to be used for your family. The pew pew range i could see that as soon as I seen the targets in the background. Have a blessed day everyone stay safe! God bless!

No stone was waisted on this project!

It’s always interesting and informative to watch this channel. The things Mike and Melissa are doing and how they are improving their business and lives

Man that roller makes it look like it's as hard as concrete.

I made five of those tables from your video for friends. I love seeing your table today. Blessings to you brother.

You said a few videos back you don't think you have ever had that much firewood stockpiled at any other time in the past. Now you have a customer wanting four full cords at one time. It's a good thing you bought those two loads of poles when you did. This just shows that if you put in the work, God will make sure your efforts are rewarded

Thanks Mike For The Video!! Can't Wait To See The Kiln In Operation And See The The Product!! Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️

Good Morning Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Sunday 🤠

looking forward to the kiln, When I was young I helped stick and kiln dry lumber, it was a great job and quite the daily workout better than a gym because I got paid to do rather than pay to join a gym. We had two 30,000 thousand foot kilns, it kept two of us pretty busy loading, unloading and sticking to keep the shop running. Great memories!!!!

Good morning everyone!

VERMEER - now that is an excellent brand of equipment! It is a company that has its roots in the Netherlands, known for its quality equipment in the agricultural field and beyond. I don’t have shares in the company (I wish I did) but I was born in the Netherlands, and while I am proud to be a Canadian citizen (It cost me all of$10. In 1967) I am also proud of being of Dutch heritage. May the equipment serve you well so you may enjoy it for many years in good health. For all that we depend on our God and Father alone!

Good Sunday Morgan family

Hello! 😊 Pressure treating doesn't prevent decay, it just retards it a bit. Creosote is the best, that's why railroads still use it. I have creosote posts in the ground for 35 years and some are still holding well but most have rotted at the ground level.

Just went to my 55th class reunion last weekend. There were a bunch of old people that I didn't know. 😅😅

Good morning Morgans and friends. Reminds me of the tv show A-team, I love it when a plan comes together. Hope everyone has a great day. Tell family hello, give Hunter a big high five 👋 please for us and we'll see you down the road.....thanks.

Mike, It's coming together nicely for you. Glad for you.

Mike, Glad for all improvements. The mini skid will help with firewood baskets by being able to put them close together than with big skid steer. If you wanted to. Thanks, Eric Hedges

Mike, you should roll your yard while you still have the roller. I wish I had one for a couple of hours to flatten my yard out.

I respect your abilities, and your in-depth knowledge and experience which makes you do everything right. I had some thoughts on the kiln and wanted to get yours, or others feedback. You mentioned that you were going to use the side entrance on the container method for loading, and off-loading stock. I've seen the railroad tracks approach before entering from one end. I was considering the variables and with a side door, if you had half of the kiln loaded and was part way through the cure you would have a challenge adding additional wood. If you stacked it on top or alongside, you have a logistics challenge. With the railroad tracks approach you could slide the whole thing out, have access to both sides and be able to load the other side. It just gives you the side-by-side option. If you wanted to stack on top, it would be advisable to remove the partially cured stack, and put the fresh wood on the bottom, and then put the partially cured stack on top. Knowing you have the side-by-side option, you would stack one side halfway across knowing the other side is available without disturbing the original stack, other than it goes for a slide out ride while stacking the other side. Like I said, I am not an experienced kiln user. Yours or others thoughts on the matter?

Looking forward to the Air-Idry install. I suspect yours will look better than there's! lol

Here watching your videos after last night, just showing y’all my support!

Good Sunday morning everyone 🇨🇦

The video you made building the shooting bench is how I found your channel all those years ago! I came for the shooting bench, and stayed for the wood yard. Lol.

Perfect application for that little gravel pull off spot. That will bring both years of entertainment and honing in the aim!

Good Sunday morning, Morgan's!! I'm glad to see all the hard work paying off so well for the Morgan's!! A little effort and expense could pave the way for future generations. BRAVO !!!!! Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!!

This will be a great addition to your tool box

Hi Mike, I know you already have a plan for loading/unloading the kiln, probably the Vermeer mini skid, and possibly a pallet jack for side to side, though was thinking about your military friend with the kiln and his rail system. I thought if you had a rail that goes the full length of shipping container, with some metal/wood pallets and bolted metal rail casters to them, it would make the process easier, side to side. You've mentioned that before, but sounds like you've come up with a different plan, so will wait and see how you load/unload without a rail system. And after watching your channel for years, I know you don't do anything without a plan first...so just my two cents on it. Have a Day!🙂

Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Might as well use the tractor while you still have it. Mike, how about attaching a trex deck board runner under the bench. Have another productive day.

Mike and Melissa, You never stop working and improving your properties for you both and future Morgan Family Generations

Enjoyed the video, Thank You for sharing!!

Melissa is beautiful and patriotic! Love her! Well love both of ya!

Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸and family and friends 😸😺 Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday 🙏🙏

So much going on these days Mike & Melissa Great video 👍👍 Take Care 👍

Good morning Morgan’s. I wish you a blessed wonderful day. I admire your staying busy with numerous projects. Even better is your relationship with other like minded You Tubers. You guys have a tight community within the You Tube family.

That kiln is pretty slick, never saw on like that but what a great idea. Looking forward to seeing it all set up.

What a great way to start anyone's day. yep a relaxing video with Mike and Melissa. However Melissa I am still sore from watching your workout routine on @ morgans off the leash! Looking forward to Tom and his crew coming back to work in the wood yard! Will definitely have some great moments! Thank you for suggesting to Tom to start Concrete with the Hauses. Now if we can get plumber Joe to have one... )) Take care Have a great week.

you really are fine tuning your wood business love your videos thank you

Neil has to get it completely setup.

I've replaced parts on my Dyson vacuum a couple of times after mishaps like dropping it down the stairs, and it's still in service after about 12 years. There are vendors out there with all the parts you need.

Awesome addition to the road build!

Looking for plans for a shooting bench is how I found your channel about 3 years ago. I liked the attention to detail you showed, and how you used the wood so as not to have too much waste. I've been watching ever since, and now I watch all your videos first when they come out.

Melissa makes every video even better!

That is a good spot for the shooting bench for now. Just love all your new attachments and that dry kiln. Cool video. 👍❤️

You have the best videos on you tube.I especially enjoy them when you have your family in them.❤️🇺🇸🙏

Hey Mike, I built the shooting bench identical to yours about the same time that you did. Mine is still in great shape. It works great too! This bench is what got my attention on the "Outdoors with the Morgans" youtube channel. I've been a fan every since.

Excellent mike getter dun cheers 🥂 guys 😊

The idry air is going to be cool Mike. Can’t wait

Good morning Mike and Melissa! Glad you got the bench setup, looks like a good spot to start. Have fun and safe travels

That shooting bench is great and I love that your range is right outside your front door. Big things ahead for The Morgans. I love it.

Good morning Mike.

Wow i didn't realize the unit actually sits on the outside, that gives the entire space insde the C box, thats great!. Get them trails cleaned up for Melissa.

Mike, once again, you have done an outstanding job and i love your new Kiln and can't wait to see it in operation, nice shooting bench.

Mike, your camera is fantastic. Usually, a vibratory roller shakes the screws out of everything within a few yards of it! Nice work!

That old roller is worth is worth it's weight for making a new road flat. Looks so good. Nice shooting station, too. Congrats on the new kiln.

Good morning Mike, it’s like you’re playing chess making all the right moves to facilitate ease of use and maximizing the process for long term gains. You have family spaces and working space living in harmony working towards the best of both worlds. It’s going to be an interesting and exciting additions and changes for Outdoors with the Morgans, looking forward to see it all come together. 😀👍👍👍

Good Morgan 😃, hang on a minute it's 10:15 pm Sunday night 🤔👍.

Good Sunday morning Mike... enjoy Pete 🇨🇦

So glad to see the Kiln, it's a game changer of green wood and dry lumber, get more bucks for dry. And if you had a hurry up oak firewood order, Kiln would come in nice to dry or partially dry firewood as well... AGAIN win win situation, saving money is a good think, Melissa will get her pool :) lol The gun range is going to be great as well.. thanks Mike 💯🙏

Tom's crew makes all their projects look easy 😀

This is probably the best built private driveway that’s ever been built. I’m sure it exceeds DOT interstate specs.😂

You guys have a good heart . There nothing wrong in giving away use things. ❤

Keep Melissa happy. She knows how to use a pew pew.

Old waste oil works great for wood protection and stains nicely too

When I moved out of Nashville I had some furniture in a box type cabinets and shelves that I had no reason to take with me so I put them out near the street with a "free" sign on them. A short while later I heard the most awful kerfuffle coming from that direction. I wouldn't have given you $2 for all of that stuff, but two women were in a fistfight over one of those cabinets! It was a real knock down - drag out. I just shut the door and went back to packing. 🤣

That kiln set up looks really nice. Looks like you had to go down to Carnegie to pick it up. At least you missed Rte 376 west afternoon traffic jams. The mini skid is also an awesome little machine. Thank you Mike for another nice video.

Good morning Morgans. Nice placement for the shooting bench. Don't know if you remember me but we met at Booneville field days. I mentioned i was making the sitting benches and shooting benches as well. Sales of the shooting benches are doing well. As for the rotting boards on the bottom, one customer (happened to be a nephew) put one of those large cow mats under his. Worked out fine. Helped with weeds not growing up around it and saves the wood a little.

I can definitely see a four sided planer coming down the works

Everything looks good Mike. Keep up the good work.

It’s all coming together. Love the little Vermeer, handy piece of equipment!

Great Sunday morning video Mike. Thanks and be safe. ☕️🦌

You can dry your firewood in the kiln so the oak can be sold a lot sooner

I can't believe all the cutting of firewood and lumber you do your place looks awesome and getting a concrete slab will be a game changer. I look forward to the next video. 😊

That’s a great front gate. Should be a deterrent to trespassers.

👍 Thanks Mike.

I can't get over my love affair with the T REX 600 .... man I miss that beast splitting wood... I keep seeing dollar signs of a bigger operation with that local tree company bringing you more Oaks..

Nice content Mike. good location for the pew pew bench. Stay safe.

We just cleaned out our basement and sorted though the keepers and goers. A must do every now and then.

Morning Mike and Melissa, Hi Hunter! Mike you are absolutely right, pressure treated wood is not the same anymore I don't know if its the chemical in use now or the wood is too green used to get yellow wood as it used to be the best but not so much anymore even cross ties dont last as long. Looking forward to seeing the new tractor. Keeping fingers crossed you can get the con X shipping container you want. Just a suggestion, leave the shooting bench where it is and build a new one in the location for a longer range. Stay safe have fun Cheers!

You’re right, Mike, about the pressure treated wood. I’m redoing my 12x24 back deck. After removing the deck boards, the stringers are in perfect condition. The deck is 30 years old.

Hey Mike & Melissa- I have been watching your channel for a while and I have to say you are both amazing!!

Hi Mike, Garry here. A long time, never missed an episode, retired ( 74 yo) from the mid north coast of New South Wales, Australia. I was wondering if you are building a cover over the container, if the unit was compatible with solar & if so, would it be economical to use solar on the roof to assist in funding the heating? Not sure if it’s viable in your location. Best wishes to you & the family. It’s just a delight sharing your journey & being part of a a family that’s just; regular & nice. Kind regards. Garry & my beautiful wife, Muriel.

Hello again Mike, I'm surprised you didn't get the dryer that uses wood heat, you would have enough slab wood to use, I'm sure you'll address all of the questions people will have for you, good luck with your new idea

Morning outdoors fam👋👋

Good morning!

GOOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE FROM Las Vegas (after a quick one day & night to the Grand Canyon)…great spot to shoot from now for sure….Mike a while back after (I think) the Paul Bunyan show you said “ I really need to UP MY GAME”…. Well, Mike & Melissa I believe you have met your goal in upping your game. Looking forward to seeing the new kiln working & drying out fire wood in no time to sell 🤑🤑 Have a day HELLOOOOOO HUNTER 😊

If I know you, that’s EXACTLY what you would do. Great comment Melissa!

Great video. Make Pressure Treated Great Again !

Mike and Melissa,another excellent video,also I love it when you guys are together picking on each other 👍it’s like a little comedy skit 😮😊❤

One thing I’ve learned in Pittsburgh you just gotta go if everyone would just go they wouldn’t be bad backups

Great purchase Mike. That will serve you well. I wish I lived closer. You would have kiln dried lumber to feed my woodworking habit😀
