Приєднався 12 лис 2020
We wanted a new channel to be able to show behind the scenes, as well as talk and explain things more in-depth. In addition, we will be reviewing different items and equipment on this channel.
GENERATOR SHED AND COMMENTS AROUND THE WORLD
We have started on our Generator Shed and wanted to share Comments from Around The World that we received from our Main Channel video recently shared about how things are at home abroad. It's not a surprise and solidifies what is so apparent.

God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He never changes . Thank you for giving God the glory. We love you and your family. You are our friend and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words and Amen 🙏 Have a blessed week
Rick you know why the world is in this shape, sin. Thanks for being a positive in a mostly negative world. Johnboy 👋
Thank you for watching and have a blessed week
Richard you are a great person love you and your family
Thanks Sam.
Richard it's been a pleasure watching SMO very nice family. I don't know how many years it's been me watching I guess since you started the house, I didn't see the old mill shed go up that was the only thing there. People said the same thing about my little channel, but you just keep going maybe it'll grow in time. To me you got a good following on both channels. 👍🏻
Thank you sir for watching and your support. lol, don’t know how much more I can get on this little hill. Hope all is well and have a blessed week
Remember, if you are in control of your life someone else isn't and that makes you a threat The body has two emotions - Love comes from the heart and Fear comes from the mind. Keep the Faith
Thanks for watching. Not only a threat but a force they want no part of when good people have had enough and stand up. Hope all is well and have a blessed week
You are doing a great job at all you do. I enjoy you sharing your views, opinions and knowledge. Amen to your feelings about our creator. I have watched you from when you poured the concrete supports for the cabin. I watch all of your videos. I live in North Central Kentucky. I am almost 76 years old. I retired at age 74. I own 535 acres of mostly wooded land. Lots of timber to change to lumber. I have a bandsaw mill that is waiting on me to assemble. Time goes way too fast. I have learned a lot from watching you. Keep on doing what you are.
Thank you for the kind words. If I were closer I would help you put it together. Thank you for watching and your support. Hope all is well and have a blessed week
I have watched your channel from the start like many others. Your content for me makes my day as I’m sure others appreciate it the same way. Unfortunately something’s and folks will drive you bonkers. Take it for what it is and you do have a right to express yourself. Try not to let the minions bother you. Have a blessed day!
Thank you for watching and your support. We appreciate it. We hope all is well your way and wishing you many blessings
Hey Richard, I understand what you were saying.I also am fed up with the Godlessness that I am seeing today ,not only in America , but all over the world. I also get down because of the downward spiral spiritually and morally that I see our nation involved in. I find myself saying Jesus come now ,Come Lord Jesus and take me to heaven to be with you. I then realize that God is in control and even though things look like they are falling apart, they really are coming together according to God’s will. The time I spend at church learning more about God and his love for us and the fellowship with other believers is such a blessing.It’s like a recharging of my spiritual battery. Richard continue to keep God first in your life so that others will see your commitment to Christ and draw others to God through Jesus Christ. I enjoy your videos and all your projects that do. I found you when I was searching for post and beam construction on UA-cam. I look forward to your future videos at the outpost.Keep up the good quality work. May God richly bless you and your family!
Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate you watching your support and Amen 🙏
The View ALL WITCHES i watch Redacted couple channel
Thanks for watching and have a blessed week
I live in Louisiana but identify as a Texan. I worked on cell tower sites in many states including Tennessee. I watch all your videos. As a minister of the gospel I appreciate you and your family. You folks add a lot to my life. Thanks!
Thank you for watching we appreciate it. Hope all is well and and wishing you blessings
Richard, many of us see what you are seeing and are concerned about our future. Don't worry, just keep doing what Jesus taught. Jesus told us about this coming of His Kingdom in Rev. 20:1-3. Don't be confused by verse 4 of that chapter, that is at Judgment. During this time He will bring many changes, but those changes will be a blessings. He has removed the blinders from our eyes and promised to bind Satan till his time. We are watching the physical manifestation of that verse. He is removing the leaders who were pointing everyone in the wrong direction, they will deceive us no more. Remember man still has free will. There is much to be fulfilled. President Trump and his Appointments are Jesus' Ministers doing Gods Will upon the Earth. Keep your eyes open, there is so much to see. The finger print of our Lord & King is on everything happening today. Pray. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and your support. Wishing you many blessings
Hey Richard! Thank you so much for sharing. Just stay true to yourself and continue what you’re doing. You’re such an inspiration to us all, and it’s much more than you’ll ever realize. I’m always looking forward to your next video! I’m a huge Andy Griffith fan and I always feel at peace and at home watching both of you. God bless my friend.
Thanks for the kind words, watching and your support. Wishing you many blessings
Love your channels, been watching from the start. Please don't change. I'm in agreement with you. God is still in control.
Thank you dear friend. I appreciate your truthful thoughts and honesty. God bless you please continue I enjoy your channel.
Richard, I love your channel(s). Don't change a thing. Let's continue to pray for heavenly help so that we can eliminate evil and restore peace in our world. I have faith that those prayers are working when I am reinforced by folks like you (all). Love from the Bluegrass.
WV HILLBILLY I GOT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING RICH AND AGREE WITH YOU AND THINGS MAY GO SOUTH EVEN MORE AS TIME GOES ON TELL JEN WE SAID HEY
I have been watching your channel for five years and enjoy every minute. Hope you continue with your construction work a few more years.
God is still on His Throne! Love your channel!
Isaiah 41:10 AMEN
👍👍
Love your content and your kindness!!! We do need one thing though, your Daughter's corny Jokes!!! God Bless All !!!
Richard, your heartfelt words are a testament to your character and they inspire me. I will admit to being a bit lazy about commenting or giving a thumbs up to your videos and just about every other video I watch on UA-cam. I didn't realize how much they mean to your channel since I am not a UA-camr per se, just a consumer of content. I vow to you that I will always respond with a thumbs up from here on out and take the time to comment, if it will help boost your channel. For what it's worth, I have watched every single episode of both this and your main channel for a very, very long time. I think I started watching when you were setting up the posts for your main cabin. You've come a very long way and I always looks forward to seeing what you're up to. God bless!
Richard , you look like your still recovering from your illness. Have you ever heard the song with the words " You Can't Please Everybody So You Gotta Please Yourself" That's what I believe your doing, and that's all any person can do!
Love the Lord,love your family, love each other and eat clean no processed food no sugar , stop watching the “news” life is but a vapor make the most of it!
Richard, tiling you field is not that expensive, you can get a roll of the 4” corrugated plastic field tile and drain you pasture, as you can rent a 4” chain trencher for your tractor that will allow you to install the tiles. A 250’ role of 4” perf at tractor supply is around $200 and if you have a Menards the price is even lower, this is direct burry no rock field drainage tile, the price is low enough it would be worth looking into. Even if you had to rent a trencher a 2 to 3 ft deep trench would take you no time to put in on the bottom. With it being wet you also could look at clearing the land and planting Rice.
Richard , I appreciate all you do on this channel. I watch many utube channels but this is the one channel that I never miss an episode. I don’t comment often but I always hit the like button 👍 Your whole family is top notch and very inspiring. Keep on doing what you are doing. I’ll see you up at the cabin next time !
There is a strange tendency in the world to just simply be offended. You covered a lot of ground including mentioning Canada. I am Canadian. I also lived in the states for a lot of years. Canada is a unique country in the world. We are the second largest country in the world. The longest coast line. We have the 3rd largest proven oil reserves in the world. About 4 times what is attributed to the states. Some say here that if we took in the whole country and actively developed we would have Trillions of barrels of oil. We have suffered a bizarre government here for 10 years that has taken us from being the wealthiest middle class in the world to the richest of us being poorer than missisipi, the poorest of Americans. Nothing against missisipi. Government over reach, Billions of over spending, while record numbers of Canadians line up at food banks our illustrious government sends billions to other countries. All of it printed money as they pass laws that strangle our economic development. Through all of that the basic tenant that we mus be allowed our opinions and be able to discuss. Not to trade in reality or even basic competence and fact for bizarre ideologies. As I heard when I landed first in the U.S. "I may not agree with you but I will fight to the death that you be allowed your opinion." Your channel is marvellous and wholesome. Ignore this modern affliction. I have always said it will one day be subjected to a backlash from people who just do not believe the current afflictions or ideologies.
Restless pursuit of happiness causes stress. Let it go & let God handle it
The devil saw me with my head down thought he had me till he heard me say amen!!
I’m 57 and there’s no doubt things are not the same.
Hey guys. The old saying ( you can please some people some of time,but you can’t please all of the people all of the time !!) stay safe now Mike Peabody,Massachusetts 13:18
There’s a lot of things we forgot we need to remember the pledge of Legion what it says one nation under God individual you know we need to remember those things
Love you love your family love your homestead love your hard work which by the way is amazing craftsmanship love your personality love your dogs - the world is evil - the Bible is coming too past only one too put trust in is our lord and savior. God bless all you do always watching !
Hey mate it ain't weak to speak , I don't watch regular TV either. You just do you and I will watch .watching you is my therapy .best wishes from the top of the world 😊
Confía en Dios . Y como dijo sancho señor los perros ladran ,no te preocupes es señal que estás avanzando.felicidades a ti y tus hijos . Excelentes canales ❤
Are you a Trump supporter Richard?
I don't care for "the mainstream" ideology behind the statement, but I would support anyone who is doing what he is and has done thus far. Everything has made sense so far in two ways "horse and common."
The devil saw me with my head down thought he had me, till he heard me say amen!!
The amount of solar and battery there are things you could do to reduce your propane usage. Fridge a simple fridge with ice maker and a chest 7 cubic foot freezer would use about 2 kw battery a day. On demand water heater. An old tank water heater could be used as a pre heater. If you ran it on 120v it would use a quarter as it would use on 240v. Finding a clean tank would be a tall order. You could only heat the water only when you have excess solar. One day I would like to build a tank system and use it as a dump load when the batteries are full. Then use the heated water, run it through a radiator. There are some days you do not need a fire, but you want some heat. If the tanks were in a very well insulated room. If you set it up where you could blow air into the living area. It would be nice to be all electric if propane was hard to get. Also heating elements work on both AC AND DC. So you could use a water heater on DC ,BUT THE AC CONTROLS MAY NOT WORK OR WILL BURN OUT FAST. DC ARC WHERE AC has very small arcs. I have heard it said DC is more dangerous than AC. So many options.

Hey brother, tears are a language God understands. Let’s keep looking up.
Your videos are good I love watching!
One word my brother. AMEN!!!!!
Thanks for speaking up Richard. I think the main word causing most of it GREED God Bless

I know what you mean, sometimes you have to take a stand. Go ahead neighbor. Hope you have a blessed week.
Amen, the Lords will, will be done.
I hearyou, I am from Adelaide South Australia, & I have followed nyou since before u built your cabin, & at 73, I have noticed that we have slowly lost our fredom of speech, kids can't have access to the computer till they are 16, with out a parents consent, We can;t carry a weapon, or even a knife, IU lost a leg back in 21 and am now perminantly in a wheel chair, & as far as the government is concerned because I no longer pay tax I am finding it near impossible to access help, & I have to admit sometimes I look forward to meeting my maker.

Bless you and yours.

Good morning Richard, thanks for sharing and caring to clear the air some more. I have had to listen too many times about the comments made on the channel you mentioned and it has stirred up more hate and discontent in this world and people still go ahead and watch it. Folks need to clear their mind and stop all those shows that crop up all over the world stirring up the hate. Also always talking politics has become a factor I have dropped lots of channels for this reason because they are trying to control everyone. It's true that majority rules but we have all been in situations where there were more wrong than right or more crooked than honest and that does not make it RIGHT. We need to get back to the right thing being done instead of "do unto others before they do unto you" it is suppose to be "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU" . Speak to others and hope they speak back to you, it doesn't always happen but it makes me know I've tried. Stay safe, Fred and family.
Well spoken Richard
