    If you never make any money on all your UA-cam work, you and you family will always have such a wonderful video record of your days starting out life in the country and making the very best efforts to be good parents.
    Perhaps a more valuable possession than the money.

    This video was a perfect metaphor for life. It has measured amounts of dreams, determination, hard work, tragedy, perseverance, and community to move in the direction of your desired goals. What a beautiful life you and your family have. Thank you for sharing.

    This is so fun to watch. Its also lovely to see that farming and homesteading is the same all over the world, with lots of hardwork and reward. Homesteading is a constant work in progress

    Whewww, that was a lot of hard work. Looks like you’re a farmer. I helped my father farm. That must have been a real windy and wet storm! Sorry about the damage around your place. You have some serious drainage to dig and water diverting walls to build. It’s good that you’re a hard worker. Looks like everything you do is good work, WELL DONE, YOU. Farm work is almost never done. Good luck rebuilding your place. I have confidence in you…from an old veteran, retired in the US, foothills of the Smoky Mountains.

    not sure if you want to hear this .. but i learned from an old farmer in Queensland Australia to gather up what we call "chook poop' and to put it in a 44 gallon drum with water and let it 'steep' for about three months (it is high in nitrogen). The other tip was to get all your fish bits (guts and so forth) prawn heads, and you put it in water and let that stew as well. need to have a lid on it because it stinks but the gardens and vege patches do love it. in fact over here they have created a product called 'seasol 'which is basiclly just the seacreature broth. probably has oyster shells in it as well (ground down). I haven't checked.

    You've made good progress for the time you have around working, and not having enough of the right tools and equipment. You need a truck, pray least a small trailer to pull behind you car. Good luck moving forward 😊

    Even though I've already been watching how much you've done, it's really hard to believe what you have achieved working on your own most of the time. The concrete for the barn was epic, what an achievement, you are going to one day look back and be amazed at what you actually did. Seeing it all in one video also shows just how much the place changed, the pasture is a great example. 👍

    Greetings from Germany. Brilliant video. I enjoyed watching and was impressed with your focus and motivation. Might I offer a wee suggestion? Your hay cutting. Build some field drying racks. As the hay is cut, place it on the racks to speed the drying. Even if it rains, they hay is not left on the ground to rot. I will continue to watch and well done on the barn approval!

    Try turning the snow blade around and pushing the snow you will have to drive in reverse but the snow won't build up against the tractor, you can add weight to the tractor tires by filling them with automotive windscreen washer fluid.

    Where is the half ton truck? Where i come from farmers have a half ton truck and judging by what i see you hauling you need one. Also a shed about 3 to 5 times the size of what you currently have. Storage for all the implements and as a work shop. Oops i wrote the above part before i came across the part about remaking the old barn. Wow i loved this video. The fact you did all this while holding down a job. Amazing work ethic.
