You can never have enough equipment. Ergo, you definitely need a bigger tractor. And a tele-handler. And....
And… goats?😂😅
ok, am I the only impressed with the grinder tool holder IN the handle? It's almost like they knew I have spent WAY too much time looking for that dagnabbit thing.
There may have been just a few other impressive things in this Super Lydia video (new shirt?!?!). Also enjoyed the Tractor Jim-nastics. 🤣🤣When in doubt, good old-fashioned Southern Family, and their tools, for the win.
The good news from this side of the Whataburger line, due to wet land here too, I got to stay inside and watch this video!! Ready for some dry days so I can mow without scuba gear.
That is worth the buy alone! It’s actually a great tool! We love it & that’s just a perk! 🔧
Haha, yes!!!😂 we might just end up with a new one sooner than we thought!
Heck yes! Glad the timing worked out for you. Hopefully it’ll dry up and we can all get these plants in the ground!!
you are not the only one. I thought that was so cool. I have a Dewalt grinder and they didn't think of that.
That’s the way it goes. Nothing is as simple as it seems. Did you try doubling up the Ford and mini at the same time? Just curious.
Love watching Ladly participate, and learn. She's special! Great progress with the Hootis. Brothers are great. Y'all do good figuring things out. See you next week!
Thank you Charles!!!
Well, Lydia you certainly closed the doors on this episode! It certainly wasn't highly uplifting either! That load was overbearing. I'll put myself in the corner now.
Haha yes sir! 🤣😂 Love it. 🤨🤪
You could have hooked both machine up to it & lifted it
😊
Mother's Day is coming.....
What wife would not love a new tractor?
Good call!🤣
Tare weight is 8510# , a lot of weight for the machinery you have. Good job guys and gals.
If the ground was a little more solid we might’ve been able to make it work, but it is quite a load!
I think you need a bigger tractor. just wondering how far you are from Fort Polk I was thier in the 80 s and loved LA.
Fort Polk isn’t too far!
Tractor sounds like it’s coming!
I'm from south Louisiana and I have never heard of a 'hootis', but then again I don't know everything. 😂👩🦳😊
We started the Hootis. Hopefully you’ll hear it again very soon!🤣😂
Got one moved . Nice to have more help . With bigger equipment .That container is pretty heavy . Weld can break with too much weight .
Yes sir! That weight will definitely help us find the weak spots😂
Can you explain the name lady, I love the name but would love to know the history or meaning etc.
Hi! Ladly is Lydia’s Great Great Grandmothers name. Rue is short for Ruth (Jim’s moms middle name)
Ladly, it self corrected it twice.
Could I get grits (salt & butter) with my B-fast and hold the fruit?
Please!
Hi Lydia I said you needed root/fill and cap welds for those axles oops never mind not too late to amend your error LOL'
Who says it was mine?! I think this needs to be addressed to Jim. 😉
Well, Ole Jimbo, at least it worked 💪 😂😂!! I do think you need a big cab 100hp John Deere 😂😂! Them blue one's ain't cutting it 😂😂😂!! But as always, I hope yall have a blessed week and enjoy the rest of y'alls weekend 🙏🙏🙏
lol! You are exactly right Cedric!😂 We hope that you have an awesome week too friend!
@@CajunCountryLivin 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ladly is growing up so quickly! You two are getting so much better with the production of your videos! I was laughing so hard watching this one! Jimmy’s mumbling on the way to the tractor cracked me up! Love my Cajun family and I love the videos you guys put out! Never a dull moment! Thanks again for making this old man’s day!
Thank you so much! I love to hear feedback like this! It helps a lot!
Could have just used the mini excavator to move as well instead of the tractor. Lol
It wasn’t strong enough. 🥸
Interesting you shake your eggs rather than forking or whisking them. Think that's the first time I've seen that.
I’ve never seen anyone do it, but it’s just how I do it! It’s fun for Ladly Rue.
Well... IT WORKED!! Dying to know whose welds broke 🤣🤣 Sounded an awful lot like it was Jim's. Mercy, those containers seem to be a lot more of a chore than you first realized. Adapt and overcome. Yall did great!! Cant wait for the next episode. Have a fantastic week!!
*cough cough* let’s just say it was NOT mine!! -Lydia

Hi Lydia and Jim. I loved all the opening scenes, Ladly feeding chickens, making her planter bowl and the family scenes in the kitchen. She is growing so quickly, such a cutie! The squirels are growing and obviouisly very healthy and active. It was really cute watching them chow down. The Ultimate Hootis sure did the job for you, as intended. When y'all were fixin' to lift the shipping container to slide the hootis under, I kept thinking, that small tractor will never be able to get the job done. It's certainly a blessing to have family in the area to lend a hand and some equipment when needed. I laughed out loud when Jim was rationalizing and begining to convinve himself a new and much larger tractor was needed. It was a classic representation of exactly what my thought process would be 🤣 it was great! This whole video was cajun ingenuity at it best. I got a kick out of the scene toward the end where Jim was commenting on the cracking sound. I look forward to the next video where we'll be treated with the humorous report out on where the welds that cracked (aka non-fusion). Great job on moving the first container; have a great week ahead and be safe. ❤❤ you guys. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
FHA k you so much!! That are VERY ACTIVE & healthy!🐿️🐿️
Thank you for watching Larry! We are going to have to get a bigger one I think!! 🤪
Can’t wait to show y’all!
I knew that was going to be a difficult job but y'all are attacking it head on !! I think I'll stick with moving mine with 6inch thick wall pipe. Of course,mine are only 20 ft. Great episode!!!❤
Thank you Stanley!!😄
Jim, you said your tractor was green. I saw 2 blue tractors. Js
lol! Did I? My mind is always running a mile a minute 😂
Thank God for great family! Oh, and i see you have a wife like mine... too responsible, meaning we don't get all of our toys. You guys are great! God bless you. Skip McCain
Well Skip, I might be irresponsible…🙈
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
You two are more fun than a barrel of Monkeys after too many Martini's
I just love watching this family kibbets and how we all know that Ladly is the true Foreman and Jim is just a figure head
Nothing is more important than family.
God Bless, be safe, and listen to Ladly
Thank you Todd!!😄😂
I'm more of a silent followers but I had to jump on and say that I LOVE the banter with yalls family. Between you and and Jim's brothers, it reminds me so much of my family. If I don't pick on you then it means I don't like you 😂😂😂
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS wear a respirator when dealing with Bagged potting mix.
What’s your brother look like? 😂🤦🏻♀️
Now I feel like a dirty bird 😂😂😂
Cute starting guys 😢😊 She’s growing far too quickly 😢 Time for another?😂 Wait we have big kid Jim 😂 Wow the squirrels are getting big😮 Loving the Gus factor in this video, although you can’t miss this fatty 😂 When are we going to see the KFC chicken 😂 🍗 😊 That digger is like new, how many hours? 😮 Jim Jim, Lydia just gave you permission to get another tractor 😊😮 Exciting, until the next video. What model NH is that?❤
Cám ơn 2 bạn. Tôi đã xem và làm theo cách của bạn. Nhưng tôi có một thắc mắc về nguyên tắc chạy vòng tròn liệu có ổn không?
Great Progress and Team Work👍🏼🏁🏁🏁🏁
Thanks 👍
Don’t forget your metric crescent wrench . Lol
Jim do you have any shorts that aren’t camp?🤪
Hi, I do his laundry. The answer is no 🤣🤣
you need a crane
Right!!
Love watching y’all. I just moved back to the “real” south. I am at Mississippi-Louisiana Boarder. Can’t wait to get going on some projects. Be safe out there today storms rolling in. ❤
So the Hootis did work.
You moved the Container without damaging the Concrete Slab, which is important.
If you need to move the containers again in the future, you will do so without having to repair the concrete slab.
Other people will find this Hootis idea very useful, may more than in your case.
Maybe Container Sellers can buy your Hootis from you.
Question? …. Couldn’t you have put blocks behind the wheels and just push it from the opposite end? It’s metal on metal, it should slide a bit easier. I could be wrong. 😳😏🤭
Somehow this seems to be just another down home project for you guys complete with "The Ultimate Hootis". I can smell the cajun cookin' on the stove from here in North Carolina. Just be careful with all that weight. Things break at the worst time and you don't want to be under of next to them. Be safe! I'll see you next time.
Ladly
You definitely have a green thumb.
What a beautiful plant arrangement.😊
Where there's a will there's a way.
Glad you had some help getting the container moved.
But it's also a lot of fun watching both of you rack your brain trying to come up with something.😊
I understand Jim's thinking when he talks about a bigger tractor.
I also understand
Lydia's thinking . I f she gives in. It won't stop there 😊
Thank you Jim!🌹🌺🌷
Thank you for watching & stay tuned for the new tractor!🚜
About how many Sq ft will three 40 foot continers give y'all's house 🏠
You have that big nice welder but no torch??? But you could’ve actually turned the welder up high and used it to cut. I really like y’all’s show and your awesome improvisions lol you guy are great. So is your rooster. Great videos. Thank y’all
I agree with you jim you do need a bigger tractor
Sounds like we are getting a bigger tractor 🚜
All of the weight is too far away from the mini-ex. Bring the bucket in some and lift. Those containers are 8500 lbs.
Los números uno son ustedes megoso mucho
Thank you!
So.... Was showing a preview of the next video for our sake ?? our your own ?? Were you thinking that some people out in this crowd would actually doubt that you were going get those containers into place??? No doubter here! Continued success.
Love your ideas. Just thought it may have been faster and easier using schedule 40 piping. Cut like 4 or 5 the width and keep alternating them when pulling with the tractor. Just a thought. Love you e
The bucket was too far from the body of the excavator. I used a 3 ton mini to move a cube van around by keeping everything close. Leverage was your enemy here
Cajun engineering and some ingenuity added, or call your bother!
Thank you for watching!
I am sure there is a rule that states " the size of ones hootis squared, dictates the size of tractor you need to own" not sure which guide book I read that in, I got both the MS copy and LA copy, one is mine the other was my father's.....wonder where I put them thangs!!!
It is great to have family and friends who are able to help you. Glad you have the first one moved. Have a great week.
We are so lucky!😍
anyone else start shitting bricks when the dog was walking around under the trailer? I was hoping to god those welds would hold up the entire time. then at the end... the welds were cracking lmao omg... so scary XD
The easiest way I have found to move somthing like that is to get a bunch of 2 or 3 inch pipe slide under it and just leapfrog them infront of it and just pull it along with your tracktor or truck.
Cut the axles apart and put one set of wheels on each end.
We just might have to!
Ya'll needed a telehandler!! And, I wonder if two single axles would've more efficient than the one dual for this?
lol if yall get a new tractor can I have your old one 😅
Sure can!
Aaah, Painting for sure helps spot any failed welds. My standard cure for weld problems...HOTTER.
Hahaha! Yes!!
Did you guys take out extra life insurance for this?
We need to!🤣😂
@@CajunCountryLivin LOL
I used a floor jack and lifted one as far as the jack would go, then stacked bricks to put the jack up higher and repeated till it got to the hight I needed.
You two are amazing and your daughter is a very lucky little girl with great role models for parents she is so cute and well loved much respect to you all. Thank you for sharing ❤❤from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺💙💙👍👍🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
That's what family is for. To take advantage of.😁Broken welds, now that's something I know nothing about!🤨😊
lol! Too funny!
That's the way to do-it, get something much bigger to move the container..
Love watching give me a smile ☺
Thank you!😊
VERY COOL!!!! Tool storage in handle. I usually wire tie mine to the end of the cord. I like it!!
Yes! Very cool!
Love your hootis. why couldn't you do one axle on either end?
We would’ve had to figure out how to add in a steering column and that was way above our heads! Lol.
@@CajunCountryLivin see that makes sense. Proves you guys are smarter than you say!
I love love love seeing Ladley in to everything with you guys! Jim, that wasn’t your weld that broke was it and Lydia’s held?! Lol. Great video guys. Can’t wait to see it all come together !! Good work as usual
Thank you Terence! The jury is still out but it’s looking like Jim’s weld might’ve been the culprit 😂
If you wrench tighten the cutting disc on that grinder you have to wrench loosen it also. I guess if the wrench is right in the handle
4:15
Oh my God, the Chipmunks are Guest Hosts on your Show 👍👍
They look Healthy - Love it.
They’re so spoiled 😂
Great video guys just needs to be a longer one and you will blow it out of the water a good 30 or even a hour would be great keep.up the great work God bless
Thank you Duane!
Yvw and welcome to community more people will coming in and subscribe keep.up the great work .
It’s all coming along well!!! Great job guys! Just need a bigger tractor is all…..
Thank you!!! And yes definitely need a bigger tractor!
I loved it. You guys worked smart, stopped and regrouped and got it done safely. SUPERB!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello y'all and Glad you got a chance to try this out. More welding and then back to work. At least it worked for 1 to get moved into place. Try a few plug welds a couple inches inside of the ring weld.. might help spread the stress a bit more.
Yeah.. we might need to fix a few things. 😅
Loved your video cute start with your planting the pretty flower arrangement, it was great the help you received to move the container. Is the cement pad larger enough to place another container beside it? Thanks for sharing...
Thank you so much! We love getting that feedback!😌
It has room for 4-5 to go next to each other.
No hootis has failed yet!
Right!!
I see y'all had fun like we did. Your way looks easier than ours, we used the Egyptian style. We moved the pipe a hundred times at least. Have fun be safe!
Oooof!! That would’ve worked too!!
Jim, I think you will do fine, I see you have your four-legged assistant with you.
Always! 🐶
It actually worked better than I was expecting, funny that you didnt show how you turned it, but at least you are one step closer, see y'all next time.
We are one step closer! You’re right!
Hi Jim, Lydia looks like the ultimate hootis is going to do the job. you are fortunate to have access to the equipment and help when you need it, which is not very often. You guys amaze me with your ability to get done what needs getting done. Have a great week 😊.
Thank you Mr. Steve! We hope that you have a great week too!
It's nice to a little one to help out she is a blessings
Wow little one is learning fast and finally someone who knows how to cook eggs🤣later y’all ❤️😎🇺🇸
She has been cooking eggs since she was old enough to eat them. 🤣
Whenever I see tiny houses, etc... being moved, they always put something at the end and lift up the other end and go with it.
We just might have to!
Real reason it's hard to call for help is because of your welding! ha ha. ...best wishes
🤣😂😂🤣 you’ll find out soon!
Your house looks so beautiful, Ladly is a bigger now , she’s growing so fast , enjoy that baby talk , it won’t last long ❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Wow. Loved the opening. The middle. And definitely the ending. Glad y’all worked it out.
Thank you Gary!!!🥰
That Little one is So Stinking Cute,nice try on using your tractor "Smalls" on lifting the Container
Thank you 🤗
Dudes, that dog should not be under that container
I can't get over how much Ladly has grown. It seems like just a few months ago when you were making the forms to pour concrete to build your house on and you were working during her nap time.
Now, she is actually helping you plant and cook and taking care of the chickens. Great job mom and dad.
She’s such a big girl now. 🥹
So crazy that wasn’t long ago!
She’s such a help!🥰
I agree need a bigger tractor ! You all just make the best videos and keep them fun always a hoot or is that a hootis !
Thank you!!
Yup needed a bigger tractor. I'm glad the hootis worked great. ❤❤
Alright! Fine!!!🤣😂🤩🚜
Looking forward to the next episode. Ya'll have a great day!
Thank you Gary!
If the tires rub just put some wheel spacers.
6:02 Putting the key, for changing the disk, in the handle that is very ingenious.
Yes!
That little girl is so helpful and growing like a lovely weed ❤😂😂
She sure is!!🤪
I used to do UA-cam videos for a company I worked for about 15 years ago. I didn't realized how much work was involved until I recently started ramping things up for my own channel. Y'all do a great job producing your videos. Those huge containers are definitely a job to move around. Jim might want to get a crane with that new tractor he wants 😂. Y'all be safe. Have a great week.
Ha, we got 5" in Houston last week. I know y'all got more than that.
Goodness!! We got a lot too!
👍🏻👌🏻❤️🙏🏻
😁😄😄🤩
The ideal for you would be a mobile crane that lifts the containers into place
Yes!!
🙋♂️👍❤️
🙂🙂🙂
You have more leverage if you get closer to it
Ladly is getting so big! She's so pretty, just like her Momma! Wow, moving that container turned out to be quite a job. One down, two to go! Can't wait for the next vid. Y'all be safe, please!!
Love y’all’s channel keep posting the great videos
Thank you!
