- With the root cellar finished, we start building up our house pad until the snow comes. We also answer all of the questions; like why are we hauling in all this material ourselves?

This is a great video. Congratulations on your accomplishments. Looking forward to seeing your new home.
Awesome progress!!! ❤
when my kids were little ,I bought then a dump truck load of dirt for Christmas
they loved it, they played in it for a few years with their Tonka trucks
It looks great , a lot time and energy well spent on your dreams. It is always a pleasure to watch your channel ❤.
Hi Jacob & Natalie
You are doing a great job well done.
And Yes you are still the best rock 🪨 Farmers out there ..lol
So much work all the time but it's getting done step by step. Hats off to all of you. Till next time from Central Oklahoma
Can't wait to see your family in you new house in front of your woodstove enjoying the nice warm heat
Great progress!! I really enjoyed watching this video. A good Sunday for me!!
Once again, loved the video
Question was answered.
👍👍👍
You're kidding yourself on the savings picking up your material. It is really stretching out the work getting done by weeks, not days. Best of luck!
❤😊❤😊❤😊
Good morning, how are you folks doing this morning?Hope everybody's having a great Day Out there.He got to go to work and looks like you're getting closer to your house.I guess but the keep up the good work.That's a long rock out there.Catch you guys later
Carry on. Looks pretty good from our angle . 🚜
Thank you for another amazing segment of your build! Love watching the progress and completely understand sticking to a tight budget. Take care and stay safe!
Lots of work back and forth with the material. Good to see the kids. Thank you for sharing the costs and why...we are watching on the TV again... digging ditches and finding more rocks is par for the course....a boulder life, it is the way of life....get the rocks out of the way is definitely the trick... Nat does a great job with the narrating..WOW...so fun in the snow...what a great job. Thanks for sharing
16:01 I was wondering if all boulders had disappeared from your property, but no, some remain 😂
Kind regards Christiaan
Man, you are so blessed to have a woman who works with you, not against
110% agree.. and so cute..
If you have one working against you suggest you change up that relationship.

Thanks for going over the numbers with us. I knew there HAD to be a cost savings in going to get this yourselves, but I didn't realize how big that savings was. I know that where I am it makes sense just to have a BIG dump truck load - the fee for delivery is MUCH smaller so it makes sense. You ARE right though... time could really be the deciding factor. I also had questions about the sand and gravel you were getting... and you answered those as well. So how much elevation are you trying to get with this house pad? Did you calculate out how many cubic feet of fill you needed? Just curious. I love to watch your progress... I love what you are doing... and I thank you for sharing this journey of yours with us.
We have to go up about 16 inches, and the slab will be 1700 square feet. So the area that has to come up will be around 1900 to 2000 square feet. Thanks 🙂
Looks like it's about time to invest in a dump trailer
Was watching the video when I made that previous comment regarding the dump trailer
Denver got 2 feet or so,,, How much did You get? It was 75 here Saturday
Only 3 inches, but it quickly melted the next day.
You are one of my favourite channels to watch.
The two of you make a good team. I cannot wait for your next episode every week.
Keep it up!!😊
And I totally understand that you have to save money wherever possible 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻
That rake adaption was genius - can’t imagine the extra time it would have taken to unload without it! Your progress is amazing!😍🇨🇦
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
👍👍
Just want to go on record and say root cellar guard kitty is awesome!🐈
“Keep Doing You”!!! Strong Work!!! 🥰🙏🏻❤️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Nice unloading setup.. but I still say go rent a 6yd dump trailer. No shovels or sweeping it out.. just fill.. dump and go. BIG time saver. I had one. LOVED IT. Maybe 2 yds on your trailer VS. 6.. Go get 'er done Jacob.. Or maybe hire the front loader to follow you home. LOL..
We are going to nickname you two Fred and Wilma "a Boulder Life"
OMG, not another boulder!😭😍🇨🇦
🏔👍
Polymer stabilization can assist with too much clay. Worked with it in 2006-7 making compressed earth blocks...stabilized quite well with 8% cement.
Where rain, sleet or snow you both keep on working. The root cellar looks good buried. You're moving on. 😊
After moving hundreds of tons of dirt in and out of my trailer by hand, investing in a dump trailer was the greatest decision of my life. You will save hundreds of hours and your back will thank you a million times over. Do it, you won't regret it.
I can’t for you to lay the floor foundation frame , I’m exiting your watch your channel weekly,great working hard and hard working couple , there’s a bright path to success and your kids will learning a lot from their parent ,❤❤
❤great progress. Hope you weather the storm ok🙏🙂
You need to teaching your oldest son how run your backhoe and truck if something to happen to you and your wife he could help in a emergency living on a farm my sister and I learned at his age just a suggestion bless you and your family
I love to see the progress y'all have made.
Please don't always overload the front bucket of your backhoe. Overstraining/overstressing equipment (especially if done constantly) definitely don't pays off, on the contrary.
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
I think the reason people raised the ideas of a dump trailer or having the soil delivered, is due to their desire to help you. Your explanation is understandable. I had the same thoughts to help, but you should know it comes from people who care and want to make your life easier. Keep up the great work, and stay safe!
Another great video! Dirt work is always so much fun!
Progress 👍
Hard work with a good partner. Great job.
Good job as usual...you are really hard working people living life the right way. I wish and pray that you reach 100000 mark soon..which you truly deserve..
👍👍👍👍👍
doing a great job. enjoyed the video, other youtubers are using amazon links to build up the channel. give all the people with comments something to do other then comment.
Great job guys and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How much is it saving you to haul the dirt load yourself?
Should have watched a little farther into the video.
link for logans channel not working .
Sorry about that. It should work now. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for sharing
All power to you 😅
❤
nataly I have a question why not double the amount of capacity by making a higher frame for the trailer and then you will save the number of times you have to travel
They have to be careful so not to over load the trailer
The trailer can’t take that much weight!
7 tons is a nope.
Why didn't you just get a couple of truck loads delivered , you say that you saved hundreds , but did you factor-in the cost of fuel in your pick-up , the cost of trailer tyres and diesel for the backhoe , plus the days you took to do it ?
Yup. I talked about all of that.
Had 6 inches of snow at my place a couple days ago per my neighbor. Still trying to get my CONEX delivered. Called Perkins about some gravel. Basically half the cost is the gravel and half is delivery. 24 tons delivered for about $300 (delivery only, not including the gravel) and that is a 20 mile one way. Is 7 trips and all that backhoe time worth it? Great job guys!
Dude, he clearly and methodically ran through the cost and time breakdown, and it's absolutely plain to see that doing it himself is the more cost-effective choice.
Working hard to make your house pad and I hope it doesn't snow to much.😉🫠🙃🙂👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏👊👊👊👊👊🫶🫶🫶
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us about the loads of stuff! You got some of the snow from the same storm that dumped 4-5’ in Colorado. You will be out clearing the snow from the solar panels when it stops snowing. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫡
