    mr wranglerstar I love all the effort you put into your family im 25 and I've been married for about 7 years and its just been recently when I started watching your channel and end cards and seen the closeness you have with your family have I realized I needed to make a few changes in the way I was living and I wanted to say thank you for the content you put out and for not being fake with life

      STEVEN LENARD I hope Mr.W gets to read your comment, I think helping us see the ways in which we can change little things in our lives without force feeding us his beliefs ,which I feel is done in a tasteful manner ,is his mission and hope makes his day to hear it from viewer's, it's not easy to change the things in life we've been engrained with ,if it was people would be a whole lot nicer

    Evening Cody, I admire you for taking your time on the bridge project and only working on it when you and Jack can work on it together. Jack will remember and appreciate all your teaching him and will use some and maybe all of what your teaching him down the road in his life. My son is 35 years old now and lives in Alaska and his Mom and I live in N.C. He's always texting or calling thanking me for different things I taught him that he is using in his day to day life and still ask for advice on things that he encounters. My wife and I just got back last Thursday from spending 2 weeks in Alaska 8 of those were with him and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Take care and God bless.

    Wonderful video of the pole barn work, fascinating! Teaching Jack work skills and ethics is far more important then finishing a simple bridge, you're a great father to share your skills and ethics with Jack. Learning to do something right the first time is priceless.

    Hey W family, love watching your vids. Great way to teach your son. Jack you have a Dad that truely loves you. I loved it when you told your Dad and Brian I have three carbonate panels ready. You are definitely getting it. Way to go guys. For Jack to be able to to look back and say I built that bridge with my Dad is far greater of an accomplishment than just speeding through a project- and I know you know that Mr.W. Way to go Dad.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Great to see Mom out there on the tractor helping her husband and learning and having fun. I bet Mrs.W brings a lot to the table of life also. Super. You guys are doing it right. Many blessing to you all.

    I have so enjoyed all of the posts I've been able to watch. What a loving family who cares for each other so much. Many children would trade places with Jack in a heart's beat to have a father that spends time with him and teaches him life skills. Thanks for sharing your life moments with us.

      @susieq7344 7 років тому +10

      Kpopahjussi63... Agreed! One day Jack will be showing his children the bridge that he and his dad built together. I was thinking that Mrs. W might be using this bridge on her runs. If that is so, Jack will also be telling his children that his mother used it all the time. Building great memories.

You have a lot of knowledge and fun to learn with you as you go along on things you have not come across before. Hats off to you and your family! Keep on doing the video's because its a real pleasure to learn new things. Your never to old to learn.

    Projects with your son. Nothing is more important than that. My recollections of projects with my dad, rebuilding engines, remodeling a kitchen, or re-roofing the house, the fishing trips, guys camping trips to Key largo. Great memories, every one.

    Spending time with Jack and teaching him to use his mind as well as his strength is far more important then rushing to build a bridge. My wife asked me once what I want for my birthday , I said 'Memories" you sir are giving those to Jack and he will have them the rest of his life

  • @stopmonkey47452
    @stopmonkey47452 7 років тому +14

    i love the comments at the end about jack's learning and pride being the point of the bridge. you can see his abilities as an apprentice growing even from the most recent bridge video to this one. when you asked him for poly-carbonate he said "okay, i've got some. i've got three ready"
    Cody, you've got a good boy
    , and he has a good father.

      I had to do all of that same stuff with my dad at Jack's age and hated it so went on to college and law school so i didn't have to work with my hand and sweat to make a buck... Now I use all of those skills in my free time to relax and work on mine and my brother's house and barn wishing I could do that work full time. So these are good skills to have even if life leads you on a different path.

    Getting aggravated over how long it takes you and your son to build the bridge is insanity. I don't understand how people can find a reason to be upset about that. I find it honorable that you are choosing to only work on it while Jack is with you. One day when I have a child of my own, I intend on making time for projects like this. This video reminded me of how my dad taught me how to work with my hands and solve problems on the job. Skills that are forever useful and cant be taught the same way in a classroom somewhere. Thanks for what you do Cody and family. God bless!

      The things I can do, I want to do, but there is such a thing as economy of time. I'm having a contractor replace the shower in our master bath. I could have done it myself, but it would have taken up to 6 weekends. This time next week it will be done, and beautiful. I try to allocate my time wisely. At 70 years of age, time is my most valuable commodity.

    It's nice that you're working on the bridge together with Jack. You're absolutely right, it's about teaching him new skills and creating memories together. I'm looking forward to future updates, but take as long as you need on it. God bless.

    I know just what you mean about building stuff with your son for the memories. Too bad that for most of my son's formative years I was in the Army working stupidly long hours or being deployed to really do much like that. Now he is a father of a toddler himself, and a serving soldier on leave between overseas postings; while I'm a crippled veteran. Yesterday he and I spend a grand day in the sun clearing out some junk to the recycling centre, then working up a sweat doing some much needed repairs and fitting new lights and tie-down points to my trailer. A great time to talk as we worked, and we ended up the day filthy, sweaty and laughing over a beer. Yeah, memories are made of this!

    My dad was a Hod carrier back in the early 70's. One job was across the street from my elementary school, and I could watch him work while I was on recess. This was before any mechanization of that job. It was a hard job done by hard men!

  • @Shawn-rq4py

    There's a spot on my property where it used to be a pond. The south side of the old dam is a foot lower than the north side so it constantly holds water. I just bought a backhoe attachment for my tractor and got the materials for a bridge. Ive got to lower the north elevation so it will flow and build a bridge for my tractor.
    My layout was similar to yours and I thought it'd be easy. I'm so glad I waited before I started and saw you building a bridge like the one I need. If I had not have seen your bridge video I would have just put the sleeper on dirt which is really soft mud when it rains. I didn't think about gravel and rocks like you placed on the sides. That bridge series is very beneficial to me. I can see how it ends now. But i have enough to go on to start mine. Thank you for sharing this build and I'm certainly glad it's something that you and Jack can bond over. Patiently waiting w anticipation the completion

    @philipprigmore8723 7 років тому

    To me the bridge project is not aggravating. I realized from the start it was a project for you and Jack to do together. I remember projects my dad and I would do and they would only be done when we were both available. It would be very frustrating to Jack if you decided to just finish it without him. I applaud the way you are bringing Jack into his older years with love and compassion. Some things have to be done together for both the learning and the bonding that happens. And, when working on a homestead or a farm the priorities often change during the course of the day. Have a great day and a better tomorrow, and may God's blessings continue to shower down on you and your family.

  • @scooter041031

    I used those timberlok "lag bolts" for a couple of deck projects and man do they change the game compared to traditional lags or carriage bolts. I was thoroughly impressed. A contractor friend of mine turned me onto them.
    Man seeing Jack actually remember and do things you had to continuously remind him of in previous videos like which side to put marks on finding the bow and crown. Your "harsh" (snickering) teaching of Jack seems to be working well!!

    Cody, when I built my shop I used an identical product for added light. Where you over lapped the bottom piece they actually make an inexpensive "Z" channel that would go over the red siding and under the clear material. This prevents air, water etc to enter the building plus makes a cleaner more finished look.

    Thanks for the video. As usual I learned a bit of new information watching you guys do this, and that is worth its weight in gold.
    Regarding the comments about how long something runs or what you are providing. I appreciate whatever you are putting up and if the bridge build goes long I don't mind as there is a lot of detail to learn and see. People these days need to learn patience, especially when it comes to getting something for free from other people.
    Thanks again and great job, Wranglerstar.

    We use polycarbonate panels in Florida as hurricane shutters. Tough stuff. Some people leave the panels up all year as they still permit light. But over the course of 2-3 years, they begin to yellow. Not sure if it degrades their strength, but it does affect the clarity. UV is tough here, might last many more years in your location. Good luck on your project!

You probably haven't heard of them but they are an American made company that produces homemade knives to put onto there website, they are very unique and durable knives and the one I currently own has been with me threw thick and thin for 8 years now and still going strong. Thought you might like them, as do I. Liked and subscribed as well, keep up the good work.

    I understand full well the reasons for projects not always being linear. When I was a young man I would spend all my free time working on a go cart or motorcycle. I would finish in a couple days or a week. I had no other responsibilities. Since I retired I'm closer to that much free time but *bhrs is more than enough work for one day. The yard needs mowed, the house needs paint and I do one vid a day. The videos get about 4 hrs, every two days.

    I too love John Le Carre "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy". It was the BBC series you mentioned. If you have not already done so I can heartily recommend reading his follow up book "Smiley's People" which was also adapted by the BBC with many of the original cast from "Tinker Tailor". Enjoy watching your videos and excellent work building memories and teaching skills. All the best from London UK.

    Considering that a snow load broke the original purlins it may be asking a bit much to depend on nails alone to hold the new ones... bolting a vertical "ledger board" on the posts to support the purlins may have been a good idea.
