- UNCLE C'MON CHANGED OUR PLANS! TWO MINDS ARE BETTER THAN ONE! A VERY BAD DAY!
It started out just another day. It was going to just be a nice simple lumber drop off. And then as Uncle David likes to say, "It's a game plan... Not a set plan." Plans changed, and then things got bad. REALLY BAD!

Mike, what you said made sense the first time. Bc if y'all would have detached the trailer, with all of that weight, that tractor most likely could have pulled the truck out and then hooked it back up from a different angle...
Glad y'all got it worked out 😊
Feel better, Lyssa!!! That was a lot of hard work, guys, but you got it done. Have a wonderful Monday! Much love! Karen ❤
need some large chunks of carpet to throw under the tires so you can get traction
Yes, a very eventful day. Moving forward, making progress. Blessings.
Mike I agree with many that you need to cut and gravel a driveway road before any construction or your going to get stuck in muck !! And then that will cost you even more!! You need to map out a plan along with costs to that plan and start with a good driveway up to the area you want to build!! If you dont !! Your talking alot of problems!! ❤ Thanks for sharing!! ❤Mamma Carolyn
I mean, all that sounds great. But the fact of the matter is that a drive way costs 1,000s of dollars.
It will come when we can make it happen.
Until then, we will be moving in 2 months time.
It's not wise to " jump the gun" you need to think out what your doing!! Going onto a wet area with a pay load that's heavy isn't thinking !! Be smart about your plans!! Or it will be very costly!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn
There’s a reason the old timer built that barn where it is because the bottom land is to unpredictable with water. Build high and farm low. Much to be said that every one that visits gets stuck I love watching your family videos I hope you will think placement of your buildings. Still following.
I love the old barn Keep it add supports where needed change the front door to face your house whereever you decide to place it, this way you can get gravel and hay you need to do the driveway. I love that old barn its beautiful. The mess inside is making it look bad, but the whole family can work hard to clean it out.
You should put cameras around incase somone wants to steal something you can capture it on film!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn
Face your barn door towards your house so no one can break in without you noticing.
Blind leading the blind. 😂
😆 🤣
Your barn should be close to your house. Close enough to make it convenient to care for your animals in bad weather, especially in winter. But then you don't have very bad winters in Arkansas. I live in Maine, where traditionally barns used to be built right onto the back of the farmhouse, connected by an "ell", sort of a breezeway or shed connecting the barn to the house so you wouldn't have to go outside in a blizzard to milk the cows.
Maybe you will have to put in a few minor drains to take some of the water off the drive path 😮😮
If y'all are interested and if I can ever make the 4 hour trip down to a meet-up or something, I'd be happy to bring you some "austree willow" tree starts and help plant them if you like. I've made an entire fence row from clippings from just 3 trees. They are great for filtered shade, wind break, privacy, land erosion, and other things. They are wind and snow load tolerant when planted deep enough to establish a deep root ball and aren't dangerous if a limb breaks off. They grow 10-15 feet a year and can establish full growth to around 70 to 80 feet within 5-7 years. I've started with as small as my thumb and as big as my wrist with great results from green bark. It's all a process and you'll get there in time with your land. Thanks for taking us along with your family as you make it grow through the changes. Best wishes and take care. 💜
Wow that is so generous and very helpful, thank you! We are definitely interested
I agree with David put the new barn where the old one is.
Get well soon Lyssa, I'm not well and I have no kids in school, I havent even been out for a couple of years and I've still got shingles, it's horrible, so painful, I feel sick and also tired a lot, it's awful. ❤❤ xx
I agree to keep the barn where it is and use as much material from the old barn!! David you got yourself in quite a predicament 🤔❤️🇨🇦
Love that Ralphie comes to visit
Love the new property, cant wait to see what yall do with it. I love the old barn. Thats gonna be so nice when its done. Hahaha i was rocking thinking that was gonna help with davids truck lol. Hope Lyssa gets to feeling better. Have a wonderful week
It's a great idea to use the old frame of the barn, straighten up the posts, and reframe. Also, a great idea for the barn would be on dryland beside pond the animals would always have water.God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
Please keep the old barn , it just needs a little work done on it and add on to it.. If you do tear it down don't burn it.. there is a lot of craft people out there that pays for old barn wood to make their crafts with. I would keep the barn and go in and add some new supports where it's needed...
@@angelaprovencher7150 Rome wasn’t built in a day geeze let them do things in their own time frame.
What a mess 😮! Hope the mud dries up soon ❤!
Why did ya'll just unload the trailer to start with? Would have lightened the load and possibly have made it alot easier to pull the Ford out.
Bc unloading it there, just to carry it across 13 acres? No thanks
Speedy recovery Lyssa feel better
Ralphie is like what is really going on around here. lol 😆 The way he was looking at the truck when it got stuck.
Ralphie is our official "what's going on?" dog. 😂
Hope everyone feels better!! Looks like you guys are having a downtime!! Feel better!! Sending blessings!! ❤ Mamma Carolyn
I hope Lyssa gets well soon. Serenity looks like she's sick took. :(
Hello guys! I felt so bad for David, I've been down too, had a tooth taken out by the oral surgeon, so playing catch up on everyone's videos. Hope ya have a great weekend. I'm having rain here too.
Using visible markers on wet areas where you intend to build and drive will help.
I would think move your house and trailer first to the new property than the boats, doges d chicken
Ohhhh dear that’s not good getting stuck. playing in the mud again!!!! Oh well at least u got out and u were able to drop stuff off!!!!
Oh my goodness what a bummer. I think the trailer is why the truck got stuck. It was buried and a heavy load. Hopefully you can salvage most of the old barn or strengthen it up. ❤❤❤
DD5 wondering if you made the right choice in getting that property base on the amount of work to put in a proper drive way, in the mean time why not use the tractor to pull in the material on the trailer
He would not have gotten stuck if he would have stayed on the road.
Any Property that isn’t developed would need a proper Driveway
Oh my goodness
Davids new truck is taking a beating. on no.
place looks great
I've come to the conclusion that Arkansas needs to be paved from border to border! 😆
Honestly thou! I watch others from Arkansas but they never have these issues.
So exciting to see the developments, good luck 👍
Hope ya’ll are well!!
I feel so bad for David, his new truck. Damn. I'm thinking he's staying away from the new property until it dries out done. He's not even going to his own HQ right now!!
I bet he comes back.
😁😉
@ oh I'm sure he will. He loves you all so much!!
I love your property and you had a chance with the rain to find out where all the low spots are and where the rain is going to cause puddles but as far as the barn building that barn where you plan to put it on it’s too close to the road the gate to your entrance is right next to where you want to build your barn. Don’t be so anxious. I would take my time and really go through your land and find a better place to build that barn. What do you plan to put in there? It’s too close to the road to have animals. It’s too close to the road to keep any of your tools. I don’t know how many people go down that road, but that barn would be an access to them. I would build the barn somewhere off not that close to the road. Now that barn is a perfect place to build like a little stand to eventually maybe sell eggs because the more chickens you get the more eggs you’re gonna get you can sell them if Alyssa‘s good and gardening you can sell produce there because people going down the road and they see a little stand there with fresh eggs, fresh vegetables that’s a good spot to make a little garden around that area to grow produce that you can sell, even some of Alyssa‘s craft.
I’m sure you can Scout the land and find some more high places where you can build your barn closer to the shouse closer to where you plan to build your home, just take your time. Don’t be so anxious. Everything will be done in due time. And remember, Mike, even if there’s a little bit of a wet ground, you can always build up. Whatever you build doesn’t have to be touching the ground. You can always build up. Just some suggestions. I’m excited for you but just take your time.
not only the Rain, it's also the Flood
Rebuild around the old! Use your Frame & solid structure and add new to them! 🤞👌✌️👍✨💫🌟🤩🙌🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hope you think about where you are putting your houses. Seems you have mud on this property when wet too. Seems a lot of ppl are getting stuck. That stinks, hope you build a road with gravel so ppl including yourself don't get stuck out there. Good luck!!
It should have just been off loaded from the drive just off the road by the already standing barn.
❤ Hello Dave,Mike ! Good to build where its been built before, because when you get a Permit if its not there already you had to get permit for! 🧐So your saving money 🤑 & Time! 🤞👌✌️👍✨💫🌟🤩🙌🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Adventures are fun, but this one... not so much ☹️... Great job getting it done anyway 👍❤❤❤
Yeah
Keep 4 pieces of carpet on the Paris property.. if a vehicle gets stuck in the mud, wedge the carpet on the stuck tire for traction.. got me out of the sand in Florida 🫡🫡🫡
Oh wow! I’ve never thought about that before. I’ll definitely keep that in mind!
Heck of a day . But you landed on the couch. Byeee! Serenity.❤🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@driftingdreamers5 love you guys so much. Wishing you guys the best.always.
♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂
Hello DD 5 🤗 think need to get some gravel on your road so folks aren't getting stuck 😉
That's the thing. Nobody has gotten stuck on the road. Only when they get off of it.
a live fence of Willow and that would give you unlimited material for crafting baskets and such for free. ive seen some bend willow shoots into living huts and arbors,thinking chicken run
When you do the driveway, you definitely have to put stone in there, but you need to lay down driveway cloth to keep the stones from sinking in the mud. We had an issue with our driveway being too muddy, but we had to put the driveway clock down first and then lay the stone on top of it Then you don’t lose all stone sinking in the ground
i guess next time yall will get the tractor before you burry the truck lol
Nope. Not my truck
I feel so sorry for David
Yup! A Ford F'n Ranger!
😆
If it was me i would face the door of the barn towards the back of the property
That was a lot of hard work hope those trusses don't rot before you use them
Happy Friday 😊 DD5 Mike Lyssa and C'mon Homesteading 😊❤❤💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜
Happy Friday! 💚💜
@driftingdreamers5 💚💜💚💜💚💜❤️❤️👍👍
Hi David Mike an lyssa 👋👍
Hey 👋 liam
A barn would not be by a road ,a barn would be in the middle of your property wherever you want your animals and your feed to be stored
Why is the barn already there?
@driftingdreamers5 well that's the whole idea, it's your property now and you can improve on it.
@@patriciarussell756 We like it there. There is flat land that won't cost so much to bring dirt in.
@driftingdreamers5 I wasn't being critical I was just saying it would be more sensible away from the road. I wish you all the luck in the world with your new place 👍
👍🏾
It's all fun until the hotdog falls off the stick.
I guess so
You are going to have to spend a ton just to Cut & Gravel a driveway..That’s where you start because that’s the only way you do any kind of Meaningful Construction because you have to have dependable access to the building Sight to bring in Materials..Didn’t y’all have a driveway problem on Come’on mountain which was one a the Main Drivers of y’all abruptly moving off the Mountain??.I’m actually shocked y’all would even attempt to drive a truck with a loaded trailer through a wet a soggy field thinking your not getting stuck!!..4x4 doesn’t mean it’s going anywhere anytime under any conditions cause I say so!!..Come’on y’all!!
A driveway was the first thing We had to put in for our house build. A construction driveway is what they ask for A path through a field isn’t a driveway unless it’s overgrown with grass
@@vickiemounts2962 WHY YOU ALWAYS POSTING NEGATIVE COMMENTS…BE REAL, BE CHILL
@@ACE-HOWDY She is being real. Why sugar coat something that don’t deserve it.
@@vickiemounts2962 Seemed to me David was the one driving and got himself stuck pretty bad. I feel bad for him but how is that Mike's fault? And if you dislike the drifters so much that you feel the need to post so many negative comments why do you bother watching? David posted his own video of this day, you could just watch that.
@@gingermama7823 you go girl. You are so right
Maybe you get some nice cedar posts from your uncle for your barn
Those trusses don't look very healthy.
I like your new property but I don't like the mud . Too much muddy mess for me. You have to get gravel for your driveway where people don't get stuck. 😅
Rest well guys… Nite2 from Malaysia❤❤❤
🤩🤩🤩
You should make another video about getting stuck. BTW those trusses are fire wood.
It's just a shelter.. Getting a roof over stuff. The same beams were up previously, so no reason to think they won't do the same thing.
Where u got dtuck with truck and trailer dig a pond there it will fill it self up then usue dirt to leval out buildin spot for house
You guys were working! Too bad you don’t have access to any limestone or gravel..,
Poor uncle Dave and his heavy loaded down trailer in a muddy field of dreams!
That’s a beautiful well cut property! Too bad it caused you a cell phone! Come-on!😊
It truly feels like you are home there! ❤
We feel right at home too! 😊
if you plant some willow trees in the wet areas it will dry that area out as they suck up so many gallons of water.. and once established in 3 years you can take cuttings and just put them in the ground and they regrow.
That's a great idea. We'll have to look into that!
Stay encourage it your house and you and your family will be the only ones who have to live in it.
I am sorry but! The trusses are trash let's be real. It would be a waste to build using them.Think about the mold and the wood rot in them now. Honestly they were not worth moving on the first and second time. But they were not meant to be out in the weather also. Get a chainsaw milling system. It's not to expensive.It's hard slow work but it works on a low budget. Probably the cheapest way for you to go. You have the free trees on the property. To use for a simple roofing system. Maybe just rebuild a simple shed type roof on the old building. Good luck...
They were covered under a tarpaulin the whole time. You can sand and oil them and use them to build a stable.
Maybe you should call the new property Paris Paradise
My opinion, I think you better listen to uncle David yes uncle David is correct
Do you need to have a building inspection done for each step of your build's
It depends on the county and zoning laws.. probably will need a building permit if the area requires it.. again it depends on the county regulations..usually that far out away from any city or schools it’s not strict
A building permit haaa, nope doubt it
Good question. We are on unrestricted land. We will not need building permits or inspections to deal with.
Why dint you build your house there? Especially since there's no water.
Bc we don't want our home close to the road
How many times does it take getting stuck in wet ground before you all learn? 😅
Considering we've never been stuck bc we stay on the road.. 😉😁
Ease up please!
Put the barn where your Uncle
Hi
I'm no tractor expert but Google says
While technically you could use a tractor with a bush hog attached to pull a stuck vehicle, it is not recommended as the bush hog is not designed for pulling heavy loads and could potentially be damaged or become unstable during the process; it's best to use a dedicated towing hitch or a heavy-duty chain connected directly to the tractor's drawbar for pulling stuck vehicles.
Not trying to be mean but why does everyone keep driving across all the mud and rutted areas just to get stuck. Drive on the dead grass that hasn't been driven on yet. Check out the area for standing water and mark off where to drive or not to drive. Surely your not doing it for video content, how many channels need to post getting stuck in the mud. It's just frustrating to watch you getting stuck when there was a different way to go. Please don't damage Lift, take the bush hog off to pull out vehicles. Just had to add my 2 cents. 😊
❤Mike you look so cool today.💪🤩🫶👍🙏💯
I don't understand men ?? That land is wet and messy but still they think they can drive on it and mess it up all that does is cause more unnecessary work and expense . Just like Gary he's messed his property up because he refuses to Waite till it dries
I think I heard a few choiced words coming from Uncle’s mouth in the truck.
Oh you mean something besides I I or me me me. That’s Al I always hear. Mike is being so kinda to him always
I had a bad feeling when i saw uncle David park in that dark spot of the grass😮😢
You guys are so lucky to have such a "GOOD OLE UNCLE DAVID"! Keep movin forward. 👍👏
Will you allow the neighbors dogs to continue to run on your property after you move your animals there.
Ralphie is not a problem. And unless he becomes one, he will be welcomed on Dreamers Valley. We will, of course, have our dogs secured. Who knows, maybe they will get along?
@@driftingdreamers5 sounds great he looks pretty friendly luv u guys ♥️
Check with his owner and make sure he has been vaccinated you don't want no dog running with your dogs and your children and have not been vaccinated
If y'all are interested and if I can ever make the 4 hour trip down to a meet-up or something, I'd be happy to bring you several austree willow trees and help plant them. I've started them from as small as my thumb to as big as my wrist in diameter. They are beautiful for wind break, filtered shade, privacy, erosion control, and other things. They grow 10-15 feet a year and are wind and snow load tolerant as long as you plant a deep root ball. Even still ... if limbs break, they aren't so heavy to become dangerous. They top out at around 70 to 80 ft high within about 5-7 years, but I've had them grow out to about 3-4 years. Even 1 or 2 established trees can make an entire fence row just from green bark clippings. You'll get things going in time. Thanks for taking us along, as I really enjoy watching y'all grow with your family. Take care. 💜
By now you need to tie those muddy areas off!! Why continue this?
Hi Mike and Lyssa, great job , love you guys ❤❤❤ just a suggestion while the ground is wet, you can rake the dirt back in the holds they made with the cars and truck.❤❤❤❤
laying some gravel on your driveway would be 1st prioity
Lyft is a beast! 💕
Gloria what do you mean by that??
I don’t understand WHY David and you run equipment over y’all’s property when the ground is wet? You’re going to ruin a good field but it’s your field to rut up.
Right.
Suggestion. Maybe call different sections of the property different names. Paris, London, and Rome? 😅
Rebuild old barn?
Good luck my friends❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
He’s wrong. Think about all the gravel you’ll need on the drive way to get all of the back to where he’s talking about.
