In today's adventure I get to use my new 475 horsepower tractor for the first time, we perform deep ripping tillage on 300 acres of corn fields, we start setting up concrete forms for the walls in the $7,000 Mansion's underground movie theater, and we sell a few loads of corn.

Cooper being tired of form setting is understandable. But being the great brother he is, he jumped back into it like a champ.
Love to Daddy Corn Star and Cooper for helping Cole. What a family.😊
Just wanted to remind everyone they hired pros to build grain storage and have been involved in a lawsuit for crappy install for years. Cole has commented he wanted to do this on his own because of getting rooked.
Love this channel!!
@@KennethWood-f1m That's way different than building a home. I'm pretty sure if he had researched a reputable & honest builder this home project would be way done now & over with the right way. There's a lot more home builders than there are grain storage builders out there. Nothing wrong with wanting to build it yourself. But when it becomes 90% of your daily work there's definitely tension between the family that we don't see in the videos. I get Cole has big money via UA-cam & he has the right to do whatever he wants now & can hire ppl on the farm to do that but it ain't the same.
@@johnsalcido5436 Cole has stated over and over that he has followed the Dave Ramsey method for his money. He has also stated he has been saving HIS money since he was 16. They have Sack that works full time, so if Cole is out there doing the work (as you hint to) then there is no work for Sack. Also I don't think he has big money its that he has been smart with is money. He also has stated many times that Dad, Cooper and Cole have their own specialty on somethings on the farm. Coles is a lot of computer work that the other's might not do. I just don't think it's right for you to state that we don't see the tension between this family. You ever thought maybe they don't have any because they all work together as a TEAM. Man we all could take a play from this play book. Is everything perfect no but he fixes it and tells us what he did and how they fix.
Can not wait to see all of you laying back enjoying a movie in the warm recliner chairs. It’ll be so rewarding and a great video for us to see. Cooper will be excited to be done and enjoy it as well!🇺🇸🙏
This is the best crew... ever, working in winter conditions and getting the jobs done.
I must admit, you gentlemen make this extraordinarily difficult job look easy, especially when it is so cold and windy 🌬️ Amazing ‼️
Much love and hugs for Nava’s father. So glad he’s ok. That is such a scary thing! ❤
Prayers for Nav and her dad
Thoughts and prayers for Nevia’s Father.🇺🇸🙏
You guys are amazing. What team work - you all are powering through not only the farm work, but also the renovations work - and in such cold temps.
Praying for Nave's dad that he makes a full recovery!
14:06 Roman and Justin arguing is so funny 😂 we all missed justin
It sure brings back memories of watching you guys work. I spent many a cold day working outside on construction and maintenance projects. Well done!
Cole, I'm really enjoying watching you guys build this underground theater. Cool stuff.
NOTE: your scribed make-up panel forms that attach to the existing house foundation. Those two locations along with the bump outs inside and outside corners are your blowout locations. Brace the heck out of your strong backs. Add extra kickers at the bottom of your forms at each of the locations I've noted. Once a form starts to blow. Its over. Theirs no stopping it. Their will be a tremendous amount of outward pressure at these locations. When you think you have enough bracing. Double it. Pouring a foundation wall as tall as you are. It's a one shot deal. I cant wait to see your next video. You guys are doing an amazing job.
Thank you Cole and , cooper, DC. Everyone! Great job!#1!
It is just ASTONISHING what you guys have gotten done! And what you've learned! Amazing!🎉🎉 🎉
Fun to see the forms coming right along!
My dad had me running that ripper, on a smaller scale, on our farm when I was 10yo. Didn't think much about it back then because, to me, I was just having some fun.
You and your crew are absolutely a machine. You astound me.keep up the great work.
You’re not building a theater, you’re building a nuclear fallout shelter, right? 😂😂😂
Potash gets its name from the Dutch word potasch, which means "pot ashes". The term comes from the traditional method of making potash, which involved:
Burning wood
Mixing the ashes with water
Evaporating the solution in iron pots
Collecting the white residue left behind, called "pot ash"
😎
Potash the seventh most common element in the earth crust … and Canada is the world’s largest exporter of potash … from Saskatchewan
Ironically, we Dutch call the same element Kalium.
I don't blame COPPER at alllllllllll ! GREAT JOB BOYS
Cooper, copper is a metal
Cooper is a Copper? 😂
🌽Coleslaw, 🥬Romaine, 🍑Bustin, 🛎Copper, and 🍛Gravy 😄
Thank God 🙏🏻your father is alright . Please tell him to rest . ❤️
DC seems to have recovered nicely. Bunker walls are coming along nicely. Thanks for the video!!!
Cole, why don’t you add gypsum to your fields? My dad used to be an orchardist, and he taught me about it. It prevents compaction, improves soil structure which increases water infiltration and reduces ponding, expands the root zone, and decreases erosion and nutrient loss. Gypsum also adds vital nutrients, including sulfate sulfur and calcium. Also, you do not need to reapply until you detect field conditions in need of a reapplication, if ever. It’s fairly cheap ( at least it used to be) and the application rate is very light. Do a test section this year and make an episode. I would do the small test section in your absolute WORST soil you have. Hope you try this, you will be very happy if you do. Blessings my brother.
I think it's in the sulfur fertilizer he uses.
Gypsum would be problematic if the soil is naturally Alkaline. It might just be a PH thing as to why he isn’t putting gypsum specifically.
@@alextorri76 gypsum doesn't affect ph. That's lime.
Hope Roman is ok! Been worried about his injury. No joke there, boys. Awesome job, as always, guys!!!!!
I missed it! What happened to him??? 😢
@@LLJ0316mv5oxRoman felt like something tore in his left arm during his arm wrestling tournament.
@ oh that poor guy! I’ve wondered about that before. It seems like such a tame sport, but they are hard on his body!
I was thinking the same thing, hope he heals fast.
I can't believe he didn't take a few days off to recover! He said his entire body hurt plus that tear in his arm. But no, right back onto the construction site lifting 80 lb. forms in the freezing cold! 😮
Prayers for your wife’s dad. Thank goodness he was not seriously injured!
The tractor is looking good in the fields and Basement walls are coming along nicely Guys good job
Really impressed with what you're getting done on this build.
If you would have used ICF blocks you would have been ready to pore concrete already using only 2 people stack them
And they would of had insulation on the walls already.
We did a 7 story building in winnipeg with icf went up in a couple months so fast and easy
I agree. I watched other videos of that and it’s an awesome building method.
If he hadn’t put footers big enough to support the Empire State Building he’d be done with the whole project. There’s no point in caring, it’ll just piss you off.
Too cheap for professional help, costs more in errors.
You boys are some hard working machine!
Love your new tractor. I hope you guys get years of dependable use from it. The forms are really coming along, considering the weather. Everyone deserves a hot cup of coffee and chili for supper.
Daddy Cornstar needs a full beard this winter
Daddy Cornstar's Santa beard...(Momma Cornstar....and Executive Production/Assistant Executive Production -- Summer / Cole) ...Holiday Greetings 🎄🎀🎁
Potash is a mineral that is mined in Saskatchewan, Canada. A major export commodity.
🇨🇦
Hopefully not 25% after January.
25% more
It's also mined in Central Florida along with phosphate.
Love watching you do what you’re passionate about! Proud of you! 😇❤️
❤ Great team. Looking forward to seeing the progress in future videos.
Everyone stay safe.
Daddy Cornstar, I use to stop shaving the first day of harvest and shave the first day of planting. I helps keep the wind off your neck. Real nice when we worked cattle in the winter.
I bet Roman is glad Justin is back
A double headed 16 Penney nail with a short piece of tie wire would do the exact same thing that the tap cons are doing and cost a whole heck of a lot less.
Just use a 9/16 concrete bit
I agree. 2 Duplex headed nails work well at a fraction of the price of Tapcons.
Money is not a problem as long as he can pay the interest on on millions of dollars in loans life is good
Yep, 16 duplex and a piece of wire in a 3.16 hole, or two duplex in a 1/4 hole. Both work excellent
It's taking shape!
Things are coming along guys good job😊
Wow! All my adopted grandsons are working & doing an amazing job! Cole, your family is a jack of ALL trades! Good to have around!
AMAZING PROGRESS COLE!!!!
Roman is the reason they are this far
Good job Cooper
Cole we need an updated farm equipment tour
It's exciting to see it all coming together! I love this channel
Great job Cole! See you in a day or two! ( I hope) - always a pleasure to watch the work on the underground movie theatre! 😉❤️🙏😊
So amazing to watch this come together.
I use to lay ductile steel water line 6, 8 10, and 12 inch. Cut off saws like yours is still common. I learned that concrete blades cut the steel just as well as the steel blades and lasted just as long.
Looks great, guys!!! Keep it up!
Daddy Cornstar Rocks!
Well you have more guts than I to attempt in cold weather to place this much height into steel forms, wood would be more forgiving as it has some insulative value but needs experienced form carpenters to build. Here are my hints/tips. Use as little water as possible have trucks scheduled so no interruption in the placement occur and pour is continous, vibrate to the extreme not possible to over-vibrate cold pour concrete, fill forms to top do not try to layer your pour but rather fill forms and proceed around the entire pour in one step, if you attempt to layer the pour the surface of concrete may have enough time for water freeze and any subsequent layer will not join (hard Cold Joint) creating several stacked walls held together by the rebar only try to keep jobsite area of pour as warm as possible for two-three days, if you can afford the added cost have work lights present and add fibers 1" two-three pounds per yard when truck arrives at jobsite do not add at plant as fibrer strands will unbind if over mixed. lastly have an extra vibrator present at jobesite if possible just in case. Good Luck I'm rooting for you. In the unlikely event a blowout occurs keep pouring new areas along undamaged form until pour is complete then take your jackhammer and break up mess while concrete is still unhardened repair form and repour as soon as you can. Have a plan so you will not waste time if something goes astray as once pour commences it needs to be completed w/o interruption no breaks eat on the go if you must, better just to have easy to eat snacks. Just stay hydrated your crew is young and healthy a day w/o solid food should not be an issue. Ray
Working the fields in December, no less!
Which night of the week will be movie night so all of the crew can enjoy the fruits of their labor ?
Free popcorn of course but drinks will be 5¢ each.
Don’t forget the milk duds and the skittles! In those cool movie theater boxes!
Your work ethic is impressive!!!
I would highly recommend trying in-line ripping. It is great for getting rid of compaction while also not disturbing the soil as much as a disc ripper to keep that soil structure.
Teamwork makes the DreamWorks
Yall be careful out there in that bitter cold! Hopefully things go smoothly and quickly on the rest of the forms and the ripping!
27:05 At this point, Cole learned form release oil is highly flammable. 🔥 🔥 🔥
You guys are doing a fantastic job its looking great
If you have to cut your rebar with a wheel ...stop about 2/3rds of the way thru and break it by hand..onceyou get the knack, it saves time, and your wheel.
Cole, I know you guys clear rocks every year. How on earth are there so many rocks again and again every year?
they are naturally pushed up by the earth everywhere, plus erosion. Every time they harvest/rip/till/etc, they risk losing a bit of top soil, depending on conditions.
While stationed in France in 1964, a Frenchman once told me "we Frenchmen have been farming these fields over 2,000 years and we still have a bumper crop of rocks evert year. Now that's farming!"
Great progress this episode! You guys are doing well. 😊
You are all very flexible, versatile, and determined. You are all an example of how to get the most from each day! Respect! Regards, Stephen.
You're gona have the best residential fish separator in the county.
Cole make sure you put sleeves in-between the panels for your sanitary lines and anything else you may need. Lot easier than cutting through the 12 inch wall later!
So glad that daddy cornstar is OK.
It was Nave’s father who got in the wreck.
Praying for your father in law. My niece was recently in an accident and has a concussion and has to start taking concussion therapy for it.
Yall should try the heated jackets and heated gloves. They keep you nice and warm. You just have to remember to put them on the charger at night.
Cooper may be tired of this grandpa, but he can use the fallout bunker too!
Kid you guys are killing it!!!
Wow! Cole, you are getting to be a master at production work.
correction....the bank bought a new tractor .
Correction... the bank bought a used, worn out tractor that the previous owner got tired of dumping money into.
Zack the Ripper!
The good thing about MT955c is that it's actually powered by a Caterpill engine.
One person versus two person involved in a job can make exponential progress. It is not surprising to see that Roman and Cooper were 4x as far.
Concerned because I’m not seeing those round plastic spacer thingies. What gives? Are we just not seeing them but they’re there? I just worry (it’s apparently what I do) you’ll have to backtrack. Don’t want that! I’m so excited for the walls getting done. Hope Roman is feeling better after his injury. Clearly didn’t slow him down. He’s a dynamo.
I was thinking the same thing. In Wyoming, they were used to keep the rebar from touching the forms and keeping them centered when the cement is added to the forms. I hope Cole remembers to add them.
They probably go in near the top of the 8 foot forms?
"I'm tired of this grandpa." 🤣🤣 Now I want to watch the movie.
WELL DONE TEAM!!!
You guys are knocking it dead an amazing work machine go farming go building forms then back to farming one hard working team we need more of this in America.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dontch have some "T" Posts and some 4x8 Sheets of Plywood or OSB Board you could set them up in those tight corners by the house to stop the Silting Problem!?!? Put about 2 or 3 posts in the ground close to Ground and lay the 4x8's on their sides connected to them.
Just a thought. they only have to be there until you get the form pulled off the new concrete walls.... and you start to back fill.
Great variety and content. A tremendous amount of work and planning to put forth content.
It looks like your new tractor is really pulling its weight around the farm!
Love having Justin back. ❤. You guys have too much fun even doing really hard work. Small tip Zack. Try to avoid the rocks 😂
I would spray the forms down again before you pour concrete. You can use diesel as well
Yes, and make sure you get it on all the rebar.
@@benhur520 is that sarcastic? lol oil/diesel/special treatment is so that it doesn't stick to forms...the rebar is not coming out
Have to admit, I am impressed with your foundation form set up. That is a very specific skill.
Well done guys. You defiantly got your moneys worth out of that saw blade. I pray that your friend is ok from his accident.
Great job guys!
Your father-in-law was very fortunate. I hope he recovers quickly. Here in IL, a 57 yo father and 24 yo son from Pontiac were in a vehicle that was hit broadside at an intersection on Thanksgiving day. Unfortunately, both later died in the hospital. It appears a driver in another vehicle ran a stop sign.
Hello Cole the Cornstar & Roman , Mr. Cooper & Daddy Cornstar good job in the cold and Cole & Roman good arm exercises moving the panels around ! From East Texas , December 15th at 6:39 pm . I’m jealous yaw got snow , we had rain for 2 days .
Wow! Loads of ads!! But I’m proud to watch each one as my contribution to your house!
A frozen beard is warmer than expected. Northeast snow and cold spreading all winter. Ice on mustache is surprisingly warm.
Cooper > Underground Movie Theater!
great works guys !!!
So glad your father-in-law is okay.
Should've gone with.....ICF
Will you transfer to no till , strip till or vertical after this process?
How is Roman's arm after the arm wrestling tournament.
Man you coming long way at work so hard you are God bless you guys and merry Christmas I love you
Great video today ! 👍
It looks like that new tractor is working out well.
Maybe you should tell Cooper that one day he will be able to bring his children to the movies for free, then he will have more fun building the forms. 😉
