Nice sister
hot sister .lol
Oh No!! You never got a chance to paint Bob.
language evolution…… why as a society are we adding the letter "S" to the word "ANYWAY"?
..
..
Anyways I was just wondering.
Good Ideas for gardening.
Thanks for the video, Ladies. Ty, it's always easier to cut 45 degree angles on longer pieces. Once you do that, you already have a 45 on the leftover piece.
From the title, "Edible Lawn Building Plant Beds" indicates that the plant beds are edible.. lol
GEAUX is nice! I could "read" that all day!
People live in the cities really embraces Urban Gardening. These type of garden technique is much prettier to have than pursuing to build a very extraordinary garden but doesn't have a wide space. Garden bed is quite difficult to do so must need some company to help you. You did very good in sharing these with us! I am looking forward to see how your house look like with that awesome plant beds!
You are so hot…
y'all look real neighborly.
where do you live ? nice to see you
By using a skill saw, the blade is not deep enough. So you need to turn the landscape timber over to finish cutting through. And the cuts may not be even. Maybe better to use a cut-off saw. Why not cut your 2nd 45 deg to the 2-ft length. Then you will already have a 45 deg cut for the next one? Better to let the weight of the saw rest on the log rather than trying to hold it level with the weight hanging over the end. Make sure not to cut the wong way as I often do. Landscape timber seems to be overkill as there is no outward stress. 2- or even 1-inch thick lumber would work just as well. If one must cut 45 deg on both pieces, I suggest pre-drilling holes in the logs you are nail through so the spike will just easily slide through the first log, and less chance of the log splitting. Use a heavier hammer. Of course the landscape logs look better than 2×8's or 2×10"s. Some have warned against using chemically treated logs as the chemicals leach into the soil. To keep water from running out between the logs, you might use old rubber inner tubes stapled to the wood. The rubber will bunch up when you lay it flat. Cut slots every 3 inches or so after you cut the tube length-wise along the inner radius of the tube. You still need to cut the outer radius the same way. Hard to explain; you figure it out. Other than that, your project looks cool.
I would have half lapped the corners rather than 45. Much stronger.
That turned out real nice. Thanks.
It is so nice to see so many young people on youtube, showing their skills. I've watched a couple of other vids you made, and I am thoroughly impressed.
While the mitered corners look nice, you are doing a lot of unnecessary miter cutting, not to mention that if you would cut short and long and nail in from the top you automatically lock the timbers together. And you still have a square corner.
if you are building the frame 2 logs high or more, you could overlap the corners so you don't have to make mitre cuts. Just cut to length and nail is down with long spikes. It will be much stronger. I have experienced 45 degree corners coming apart over time.
It's nice to see your father. I learned how to plant sugar cane from him… and a few other things.
Really enjoyed watching your lovely family coming together to make this. Kudos to your bro for making the frame, he never let up just got on with his task. Again so nice to see young people here on Youtube doing something constructive and educational Thanks for sharing PEACE 🙂
RIP headphone users at 1:00. lol
looks like every body was having a good time together, Thanks for sharing the video

Did you know you can drink water out of the Ocean? By boiling it and catching the steam, then it's free of salt
Take a flat rock clean the surface, then splash ocean water on it let sun dry. Then brush off the sea salt, and repeat, recovering the salt from the ocean.
Sexy sisters💋🍒♥
Love your sister's T-Shrit! Geaux Tigers!
Sorry to say, but" boring box building !" Rather see you talk about plants and herbs !
Eye protection!!!
Awesome good neighbor to enjoy :))
Only thing worse than putting your hands in a cajun woman's plate in vexing the cook….lol go ahead, mess with the cook, see where that gets ya.
I'd like to add something to the discussion because I've had problems with losing my soil from the raised beds. I started using two things to help with gardening in raised beds, and those were hardware cloth below it, and draped landscape cloth inside. The hardware cloth is 1/4" net which keeps gophers out. The landscape cloth is fabric which is draped inside the entire box to keep any soil from running out any cracks between boards or between the bottom board and the ground. Heavy rain took half my soil one year and forgetting to turn the hose off once did that another year. Oops! Anyway, it's quick to install and is fairly cheap. You could use multiple layers of small chicken-wire if you couldn't afford hardware cloth.
Wow
this video is tragic on so many levels,,,
Just found your website I guess four years after this video it made me remember when I was working with a bunch of Cajun framers up in Austin Texas back in the early seventies such good people such a good times tear in my eye thanks
Sorry such good people such good times
I love how your family helps each other out. You guys are great
