welcome to off the ranch gonna water my

plants again I need to water them daily

you may have noticed at the end of last

video there was another woman in the

clip and she said sorry and that was

just kind of a little teaser that

serious Pete's fiancee Nell and she's in

town bearish Pete couldn't come but Mel

and Mayor are friends so she's been

staying with us for the last couple days

and so I thought it'd be funny if we

just like BAM and everybody go fish Pete

must be there and then I'll just totally

be like no he's not let down at the

century you may hear a go-kart running

so I hadn't started the double ng

go-kart in a while so I'm just letting

him run you know warmed up get the oil

flowing around there you go a little fig

tree you're welcome

put some water on my grapevine perfect

she's running good both engines I fixed

all the broken welds so now it's solid

again bill been asking about where this

thing's been it's been here let's have

it put in a video in a while we still

got it it's still working this morning I

went with my dad and my brother and we

went and had a little family bonding

time camping I don't want to say the

words because I'm going to get to

demonetized and I didn't I didn't show

it for that same reason I I want this

channel to be as free of these things as

possible just in case YouTube ever just

determines that they don't like those

things on their platform I at least have

one channel two channels that are free

of that because demolition range is

gonna be if that ever happens but I keep

this one

ideally problem is I'm gonna be doing

some other stuff with some of these

today

and I want to show you it's really cool

and we're not actually sending the

packages down rains to their location

we're just working on our our package

cinders yeah

that's we're gonna go in we are now in

Andy Rawls woodworking shop how's it

going guys up Andy we've been in here a

few times Andy for those who don't know

he does fine

Texas woodworking right that kind of

kind of thing that's a really cool

tables Andy does a lot of cool stuff and

I don't know how long ago a year ago I

was like hey you should film yourself

it's two years ago two years ago are you

serious yeah that I think is as many

views as my biggest most popular video

has I'm gonna look it up real quick my

most popular video has 20 million views

and he looked is up it has 19 points

anyway but it doesn't matter because

Andy's only been doing it for two years

I've been doing it for like eight years

and you almost have a video it will pass

up my video recently Andy made this

thing he took off the old stock on this

shoddy totally made a new one out of

crotch cronut I love the name of that

actually looks it's different colors in

it it does that's some pretty walnuts so

really cool that's the thing about

walnut like this is Texas walnut and

it's air dried and you don't lose the

colors in the woods

really it is what is that oh yeah that

would be really hard I didn't think

about you'd have to drill a hole all the

way through there yeah that's true

Andy wanted to do it again he said the

video did really well on his channel and

he said it was really fun to film but

unfortunately he didn't have any more

cool toys so I brought him this one this

is

Zaa stiva it's a Serbian made a que yeah

yeah it's all you you're gonna love it

but I told them I don't really like the

stock on it because it's it's a little

too big it's fat you can see next to

this one I brought on this one for

comparison this one's a much skinnier

stock it feels better than this one this

one hits you in the cheek also there's

like a little swell here in the fore-end

this one's just flat and also the woods

just not very I don't even know what

that is but it's not pretty it's not

very exciting it's some Serbian cheap

wood probably so I was like this is the

one for you and I yeah I think see I

think this will actually be a little bit

easier than this one because it's where

when it butts up to the receiver mm-hmm

I don't have to worry about yeah

but the way you haven't seen what this

looks like oh that could be tricky that

is tricky and the on the inside okay

I'll show you let's let's open it up

first and then you can decide if you can

do it this your first a k to take apart

if you get stuck anytime there are like

a million videos on YouTube on how to do

it so you have to take the like that

thing at all so you take bring them so

this spring goes in here and there's a

little groove it slides in to pull that

out and then this whole bolt comes out

and then that so that rod was inside

there okay which is why it's not gonna

come out what this is just just pop off

now so put a wrench on that and then

with that hand just twist it either

direction the wood yeah all the way 180

towards totally 180 and then it'll just

slide off nice oh there's like steps in

it you're regretting this yeah this

looks hard I don't think those steps I

don't know it just goes around the

barrel right there right yeah I don't

think they do anything I don't know

you're the wood guy good luck

I think I'll try to do that the steps in

if it's not working anymore

work without the sip I don't know I have

no idea for a reason right oh it's not

that easy you don't have to have a

cleaning rod in there yeah are you

worried about this now so what we're

person I love it I love it it's so good

all right picture time

yeah take away any so we'll take a big

family picture there's this really cool

crazy-looking house for sale a couple

miles from my house I'm riding my bike

over there I needed to do something to

work out today today is my off day but I

want to do something to work out and I'm

gonna go over and play this house show

to you guys it's super cool it's one of

those houses is it like marathon I look

at we're like that would be so cool to

like buy that house and fix it up it

needs a lot of fixing up you'll see what

I mean it was one that they started

building and then they never finished

I'll be there in a few minutes see you

guys then okay that's it right there but

what's crazy about this house is it's

kind of like above everything so you can

see it slow down there it's low on the

other side and then it's low all in

there let me get the drone up in the air

you guys will see let's go kind of windy

out here

it's so windy okay we're going in

alright so check this out it's like this

big compound all the windows are boarded

like plywood it over it's so cool and

no-one's ever lived in this house

they literally built it not all the way

like they didn't ever put windows in it

and I think it got vandalized I think

someone broke into it did some stuff

look at all the land around it like

you're on the top of a hill I think

someone lost interest to build a lost

interest or the owners lost interest or

someone ran out of money but look how

cool this house is this just needs ok

needs a lot of things but holy cow it is

awesome alright we're gonna back off

here so you guys can really get a good

idea I've actually never flown a drone

over this out so its first time I'm

actually seeing what it looks like to

but it's just like off on this little

hill all by itself with beautiful views

on like all sides of it

I kind of thought it'd be cool to buy it

and fix it up but I think it's like I

actually need to stop and look at the

price it's something crazy it's like

really high look at this view geez I

mean like this is you'd see the most

beautiful sunrises and sunsets eight

hundred and fifty thousand dollars I

just looked it up it is five bedrooms

six baths eight hundred and fifty

thousand dollars it has like thirty

acres but I think mostly acreage is like

going down the hill it's like unusable

land but you get great views but it's

also been for sale for like a couple

years so it's probably not gonna

actually get that much it'll probably go

for a whole lot less than 850 it's just

one of those like pipe dream houses in

there and I just think would be so cool

to tackle it's definitely out of our

league because the little house that we

renovated we've renovated two houses

they're both tiny probably five times

bigger than both of them and also five

times more expensive just so cool I you

guys might want to see it and maybe

there'll be enough people saying yeah

Matt do it construction ranch that I'll

be like Meredith

we gotta find half million dollars right

now put an offer on this thing hey guys

sorry it's a little dark but we're back

here mayor was just telling me more

about this house what do you know about

it went into it

yeah I didn't I my mom and I did and the

kids were really freaked out oh the kids

weren't in it the only one the family

has been in this house they got really

scared because it was creepy okay ghost

house yeah like all the windows are

boarded up and there's like construction

equipment everywhere but nobody is there

yeah so do you think that it would be a

good house for Mel and Pete to move into

yeah you could take the money they're

asking and knock it down a couple

hundred thousand down and then put that

money back into the house and fix it up

and then sell it for twice as much or

living it forever right next to us come

on Mel yes yeah and the way that it is

right now like you get to finish

completely finish it out the way that

you want that's true and girls love that

don't have to rip up what's there

because who knows where the rest of that

tile is yeah are we buying it or not

we'll go in on it with you little

investment opportunity this is gonna be

great thanks for watching off the ranch

we love you we're gonna go buy a house

that we're not

[Music]

oh shut up down there
