68 years ago my parents built our house in the corner of a wheat field. We cam e home from church and neighbors were in the back of the house talking about what they would have changed. The next day my Dad put a sign in the yard saying "SUITS US"
😂 Your dad is the best!
Sounds familiar to this day aswell. People like to judge the way you do it. I ´´restored´´ an old barn so it would become usable again after 1-2decades abandoned made it to a shop instead. And left it to look like shit from the outside since people cant leave places alone anymore.
Had people tell me all the time: You should have done it this and that way instead blablalbalaa.
I asked for advice when needed since i havent done stuff like this before from mulitple people and picked and chose the ones i liked.
nice touch. Asking the kids what they are going to put in their bedrooms. Looks like they are pretty good at swinging a hammer too.
I love that the timing for that comment it could’ve been more perfect. I am relieved after putting in the septic tank.
Another Not So Little House on the Prairie is taking shape. 😛
Welker Farms is a great tale of family working together and family helping each other. God Bless You.
Absolutely follow frost protected guidelines for shallow footings, if you dont the frost will push the whole back side of the house up. Easy to do and well worth the investment, nice house!
Your little ones are positively adorable!
Going to be an interesting and beautiful place. Thanks for inviting us along.
Thanks for coming
One step at a time and enjoy the journey.
I am glad that my watching of your videos and 100s of 1000 others are helping you get your house biult to make a lovely home 🏡 for them. 😊😊😊
It’s surprising how different construction of walls are from Northern Illinois than the western USA. We attach the Plywood on exterior walls and foam, then stand the walls. We build entire wall, then stand the wall. Then we nail down bottom plate to the floor. No toenailing of each stud. To each it’s own. Thank you for sharing.
You might already be planning this but you might want to consider a 4ft wide apron of 2-3in thick foam at the bottom of the footing on the back side of your house. That is the "frost protected" part of "shallow frost protected footings"
Congratulations Nick it's really starting to look like something I'm glad for you and the family that a God worshipping man is able to get ahead in this screwed up world
I dont think it's the world just tge people in it.
Think about how many small farms have been swallowed up by this farm. That is the downside of our agriculture system, designed for chemical inputs and poison sprays and to suppress and bankrupt the small holdings. This isn't to say they aren't nice people.
What are you talking about they are a small family farm as far as cash crop farmers go know what your talking about before saying something
@@coryweber6188 What are they farming, 15,000 acres?
@@raincoast9010 you sound like some college students that protest anything that they have no understanding about.
I get a chuckle every time you say this house is up on a hill. All I was seeing is beautiful flat fields as far as the eye can see. This video helped me to understand what you’re talking about now, I saw the rise!
It's a very "modest" hill 😂
No pit saftey Nick, don't be so sure you can just get right out of that hole!
Pretty cool that you don't need gravel for your septic tank or pipe. Love how code is different in each state. Great video, you and your wife are building a wonderful home.
To get power you need to be off-grid and put a 10kw solar panel array on your roof with a 8kw inverter then you have power, there is no need to connect gas (propane) as you should install a induction cooktop and get a solar heat-pump HWS, for heating and cooling installed a reverse cycle airconditioner that can heat and cool your house.
When we built our house, we used the leach field for the veg garden, grew the best tomatoes, raspberries, & strawberries. Nutrients and water from below meant deep roots.
Comming together nicely!
God bless your family
The house is coming together well, I love the way the rest of the family rally around to help when needed shows what a strong family unit the Welker’s are from senior to the youngest keep it up
Nick, hopefully you have truck access to where the pickups are parked, as a general rule you get the septic tank pumped once a year to clean out the material that doesn't digest in the tank, as it will cause a lot of grief if not removed on a regular basis.
The most amount of hose kept on a septic truck usually runs ~50 feet, some try and get away with less.
Best wishes from the far North.
Coming together nicely. Liked the part with the kids deciding how their rooms will be arranged.
I never understood nailing the bottom board to the floor before building the wall.i like to nail the wall together top and bottom before standing it up. You can use a chalkline to layout the walls.
They do the same in the south east I asked the framer why and he said a toenail is stronger than strait nail, but I'm like you takes a lot longer to frame.
I was wondering the same thing. Even if toenails are stronger then straight you can shoot nails in at angled
Your house will be a landmark on the Montana landscape.
Looking more and more like a really nice home. I especially enjoyed seeing the kids, planning the way their rooms will be laid out. They are obviously having a blast out there running, playing. Being involved in the whole process as a family. It warms my heart to see children growing up in a Christian home with two parents. Boy does America ever need more families like farm families. ❤️🚜🇺🇸🤍🚜🇺🇸💙🚜🇺🇸
House is looking awesome!
Great video. Loved the kids talking about their rooms!!
Glad to see you have an on-site inspector. Things will be right now.
Looking good Nick. Glad you and Scott got to build you dream homes. Both of you are blessed to have a great family.
Watching from UK the difference in building codes/regulations is vast. Building will be great when finished
Lord bless this home and all who live in it AMEN
House looks great ..You'll are blessed to have the all the equipment to be able to do so much of your dirt work. with all your knowledge to use it.Cant wait to see it done..
Love it!!!!!
Good things coming!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
It will be alot of work but it will be worth it in the end ! 2010 I orderd a New house ! but on sept 9th we had a 100mph wind go threw and cleaned my alfalfa seed crop off and I lost $1.5 million in crop without insurance. 2018 I order a 2000 sq/ft home from M&K from Lethbridge AB . did the same foam block basement and couldn't be happier , finished the basement myself ! so we have 3 bedrooms on the main floor with 2 & 1/2 Bath on the main floor , basement has 3 large bedrooms ,1 1/2 bathrooms , a 30x20 TV room with 3 -70 inch big screen TV's ( wife doesn't know why I need 3 TV's), Plus a cold storage room for storing garden crops ! Water room , and Furnace & electrical room. and I Love it !! Coming from living in a house that was built in 1923 with no insulation and 800 sq/ft on the main floor with 2 tiny bedrooms above and a basement that the walls were falling in ! I'm 67 now and finally have the house of my dreams Farming ! but I retired from farming
Thanks Nick and your beautiful wife & family......Blessing to y'all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍

First. Congrats on the home getting built. I bet yall can't wait to move in. I'm sure this comment will be too late, but you had mentioned using chambers in your leach field. If it's the half barrel looking ones I'm thinking of, I'd suggest not using those for system longevity. I've seen over and over those fail due to the effluent slowly clogging each chamber with biomat(like a domino effect to each chamber). Down the road when you try to hydrojet them you can't because the jetter just falls in the first chamber and can't reach the others. If your running standard perforated lines the whole way, and not what I mentioned above then no worries. I just didn't want to see a known issue (for septic techs anyway) to get ya later down the road. That said, thx for the videos!
Great to see WelkerWifeLife! Love Rosie's boots & enjoyed hearing the plans the kids have for their rooms! How exciting! God bless all the Welkers!
I love how the house is built into the hill! Best of both worlds a basement that opens into the front yard! And you can get into the second story from the ground
Absolutely Awesome video! So glad you are showing these. God bless you all at Welker Farms!
Blessings from South Texas 🙏🚜🚜🚜
I love the sun room already! And the kids bedrooms on the walk out level is well thought out.
I'm glad the house build is moving along successfully.
It brought back some very bad memories with you jumping into a trench, without trench boxes, where the sidewalls were over your head. I lost a very good friend due to a trench collapse at a much shallower depth.
I realize sometimes one needs to do what they need to do; however please be safe.
Be careful, be safe and God bless!
The pride of the family, many safe & rich blessings for finishing project!
I enjoy watching the carpentry and plumbing happening. Congratulations on your plans coming together! Blessings.
That's going to be a beautiful house I love the walk out basement
You're a brave man Nick, no escape route out of the pit.
Bonjour Nick et a tout la famille super felecitations le chantier de ta nouvelle maison avance super bien bonjour a ton frere et a ton pere vous avais fini les moisson 2023 bon courage a tous la famille bon weeek
The smile on your faces tells it all! Contrats to all of you. Enjoy your build and making new memories.
Nick under the stairs might be your bedroom when you’re in the dog house with the wife 🤷🏻♂️😉😅🤣
😂 🤫 Don't give her ideas!
@@WelkerFarms 😂🤣👍 we might have to hide this one from her 😉😅
Building a house is an awesome experience if you are prepared for all the decisions to be made (and it certainly appears you are).
We weren't sure about room dimensions either. I ended up laying out our main floor in our back yard. I used a couple dozen tent stakes and measured things out, even to the 2x6 external walls and 2x4 internal walls. Then I mowed the lawn and let the "walls" grow. After a month, the pattern was awesome. My wife even measured furniture and trial fit that into various rooms and sprinkled flour out to denote a bed or chair. Our deck was about 5 feet above grade so you could look down the floor plan. It was really helpful to visualize things.
Congratulations on making your dreams come true!
Awesome video please make it longer like 1 hr or even 2hrs ty 😂
That’s great! It is such a blessing that the kids get to see their house being built!
Looks great. Will be a beautiful home
Family is so awesome, watching you all work together to get your houses built is so cool
Awesome progress. Great video. God Bless.
House is going to wonderful bet u guys can’t wait to move in!!
Goodness gracious, Mr. Nick! Whereever did you find a mate like your missus? That pretty, willing to take on a challenge like you and able to overcome those troublesome Montana high plains genes you guys are saddled with and still managed the bring forth gorgeous little Welkers to spiff up the Toole county gene pool!
WOW Nick your house is looking awesome
Thank you!
Great job of work! It’s years since we built our house but as farmers we also did all the ground work, sewage, concrete work and we had a bit of steel work too( we saved a lot of money at the time by being able to cut and weld a few lengths of rsj) being able to do the work ourselves meant we could actually build the house we wanted , but in all honesty we didn’t really have the interior finished for years after we moved in because we found that the cost of the fit out was completely dependent on the spec of the finish. We had a kitchen and living room two bedrooms and a bathroom finished when we moved in and slowly finished the house as cash became available, worked for us. Meant we had a house about half as big again as we could afford to have completely finished day one.
Your house is looking really good so far Nick God bless you and your family
Nick you were really freaking me out going down in that hole you dug that was way too deep to be in with out shoring to stop the walls from caving in on you.
awesomeness, and congratulations, have a fantastic weekend Nick.
Family...what a blessing...a gift from an unseen but always present Father. He's with you at every turn.
Save the headache now, and install risers on that septic tank now, saves digging to get it pumped out in the future
Already ahead of you, got them installed a couple weeks ago. You're right, definitely worth it!
I am very happy for you and your family, Nick. As an amateur carpenter, I enjoy watching others’ methods. I like the idea of laying out the bottom plates for one to envision where everything is going to be. Plus, I am envious of all the “toys” you get to play with! Ol’ frustrated farmer.
Nick,just a suggestion, I’ve seen a couple different spots just like you have under the steps,you mentioned you’re not sure about that area yet. I’ve seen where it fits great as a dog house for inside,your boys won’t likely stay away from that,that’s a neat hideout,anything like that, just my idea.
Considering how close the home farm is to Shelby, I'm a little surprised you didn't build on the
edge of town so the kids would be closer to their friends.
I could watch your post for hours but the intros are just so epic I have to go back to start two or three time before I start..... ok 3 times here I go....
Well Nick your house is coming together looking good the Carpenters are doing wonders
That's going to be a smashing home for you and your family, can hardly wait to see it all finished and you all moved in.
When my kids were small I cut a bunch of shapes from leftover lumber. Lots of play time. Then the blocks got passed on to others. Some are still around.
It would be neat if you set up a web cam back over by the power box and that way we can watch in real time as the work progresses
Need to get internet on site, then that could work!
I really enjoyed this awesome video Nick. Y'all home is looking amazing.
Thanks so much!
Looking good Nick. You and your family deserve this so much. God bless you and your family
No permit before backfilling the drain? Lucky! We have perk test in the exact areas of our leach field before the plans ever go to P&Z, a pre dig inspection, pipe/ tank pre back fill inspection and a final inspection all at $150 a wack. This is all after $850 fee to start with. I'm in the first weeks of this joy
It's nuts what they control. I don't want to make make fun of the situation as there is some merit to it. It's just that there are many ways to skin a cat and get the job done effectively and efficiently. We have a property that had the original septic tank and field from 1965. The house never grew in size and the water use stayed the same. But at some point the county deemed it obsolete and made us do an expensive pressure system with a new tank. The old system was checked and had no issues! But nope, government must be there to lend a helping hand at the expense of permits and taxes and huge fines if you don't comply.
I have not seen a basic septic system in a few years, always need multiple tanks and often they want a mound system even if the soil tests ok to go without a mound. We do get our water from the ground though so probably a good idea to have the better systems. I may have missed it but I always do at least a 4 foot wall with footer on the walkout side as I always build in the frost zone, I did not see that. Down south I have seen they do not do that. Make sure they put proper flashing above and sides on the windows and doors it stinks when water comes in because there is no flashing around a window and door. Stay safe and healthy.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's official, this is now a family build.
I was about to say: Dont forget to take pictures of where you lay your pipes!! 🙈🇸🇪❤️
House looks like it is coming along well guys,thanks for the update
Awesome video thanks for sharing
God is so good. So proud of yall new build and future
So glad to see you and legion getting new homes..you earned them..God bless you
So exciting! Happy for you guys!
Sewer mains in city's run at 1% fall minimum. If the liquid runs faster than the solids you create blockage. I did a mountain of water sewer and storm lines in Dallas.
Construction sites are the funnest for kids!
Maybe a dog hideout under the stairs like they did on the guyandagolden channel
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Congratulations, your new home is coming along great. Starting to take shape and look like a house. Great. Takes a lot of planning and making sure everything fits the way you want it. Step by step.
Love the part of the video where the kids were talking about their rooms and how to arrange them. They are excited. Nice you let them do that. Great.
You have your big pieces done now like your septic tank and such. Now finish off all of your dirt work to level things off. Glad you have those big pieces of equipment to move the dirt around.
Coming along great Nick and family. Will be a nice home for all of you.
Thanks for everything Nick. You take care and be safe.
Thanks.
The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Great job, house looks good and I’m sure you’re anxious to move in.
Always admire the amount of work you and your family are able to do yourselves
As they say it’s all about the tools and equipment
Enjoy and stay safe!
Love the walkout level...faces the south/sun side I think.
North East 😁, thanks for watching
Great you will have in time for kids to grow up in!!
Interesting way to stand up internal walls, fixing the bottom plates down first then stand the walls.
It's coming together beautifully 😍! Keep up the awesome work
Your new home is progressing fast. It is interesting to hear the kids describe where their toy box goes etc. The dirt movers are sure making the dust fly. You have the machines needed to do it. Keep up the great work. Remember to take lots of pictures. 😊
Looks magnificent! I’d did a carpentry apprenticeship back last century and work in the trade for a few years afterwards and I think you are missing something. That would be the metric measuring system. Boy that would make your lives easier. I’m sure it will turn out pretty good though.🇦🇺
I know right! Someday we might make a switch as a nation.
@@WelkerFarms Imagine that. It’s going to be further to town, your farm size will be smaller but your rainfall chart will have a lot bigger number. Tonnes/Ha in yield, bar on the boom spray gauge, litres/Ha of chemical, the list goes on. But your 6.2 litre V8 is still the same.
Looks awesome so far its coming along really great.
Glad to see y’all getting your home built!!From La.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏼♂️👍
We put our septic lines to our septic tanks down 8 feet in Southern Alberta. It gets cold in 🇨🇦
You read my mind, I was thinking need to plant lots of tress all around the house
