I think you should have pour the pad and put the shipping containers on the concrete because the ground will hold moisture in it it will rot your bottom out of your shipping container and then it would have been a slave over as you would want it to be overtime your shipping containers will settle on the dirt I am sure that you already know that I know it would have cost you more money and in the long run it would have paid off
Hello Eldridge fam. My mom (Dolores) and I discovered you a couple of months ago. She is 88 years old and had a stroke about 3 years ago. It’s hard for her to concentrate on things and keep her interest. Something about your show and your family really resonates with her. Every day she asks me if “our little family“ has posted anything today. It fascinates her that you are also in Oklahoma. Thank you for the time you take to share your lives with us. Crandall, you are her favorite because her daddy was a carpenter/preacher. She remembers him doing so much of what you do. Marcy, she is so concerned about how you go out in the sun or drive without your sunglasses with your beautiful blue clear eyes. She just thinks that’s too much sun for you. Lol. And those boys. 🥰 Joy and happiness to you and your beautiful family.
Great job Crandall. Wish things were easier for you guys. The children are doing so well. Can’t wait for your next video. Hugs and Love to y’all. Grammie Suzie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was awesome that you found what you needed in those trusses. I love a good find, whether it is in ads or thrift stores. 💖☺️💖 You probably will want help doing the pad. A pad that size will take an experienced crew to pour and finish correctly. You'll be happier in the long run if you have it done right the first time. 💖💖💖
Wow, the amount of work is amazing moving the dirt and leveling the ground. You both are awesome while sharing your thoughts and input. Blessed by your kindness to each other and at the end of the day, smiling and laughing.
My daughter and son both seen the new twister. Both said it was awesome. They did say it would have been neat to see Helen Hunt as a character. Whether a retired weatherperson or grandma to the family in this movie.Try to see it, enjoy!
Just thinking, would it be a good idea to give the containers a couple week or a month to settle. Because if or when it rains it’s probably going to settle. The ground isn’t compacted very well. In the mean time you could rehome some of your animals as you had stated, And get their pen and shelter ready for the winter. Get the chicken coop set up nice for winter,And finish the inside projects in the house, now that it’s going to be really hot outside. Then in a few weeks when it’s a little cooler and the other projects are all done you can work outside on your workshop.
You get me confused with leveling. 😕With all that it's got to turn out good. I had to laugh about the kids singing in the back of the truck. They sound good. You have your own choir. 🤣🤔❤❤❤
HEY y'all ❤ Crandall is there anything you can't do? You and Marcy are very hard worker. Marcy all three of the boys are getting so big and are talking so good. You both are awesome parents. I know how hard it is with three small ones, I had three girls close in age. I can't wait to see all the projects. Love y'all and God bless you and your family 💕❤️💞❤️❤️
They do have pumper concrete trucks that don’t have to go inside the shop. The containers need to be on the concrete or they will rust out on the bottom from the moisture.
I love your upgrades on your property! May I suggest that in the garden you lay professional landscape fabric under the new raised beds. It will give you a nice finished look. But most importantly, it will keep gophers, moles, and plants like honeysuckle and poison ivy from coming up through the beds. Take it from someone who had to move her raised bed garden this year because of this mistake.
Crandall you remind me of my husband...every project required a new piece of equipment...he passed in 2013 and I have a garage full of tools and equipment 😂❤😂
Hello Eldredge Fam. You have accomplished alot today. And Taking three little boys on that long road trip, They did awesome. You have three terrific little boys. Crandall You are a man of many talents. And Marci you have so much patience with four males to look after. You do remind me of Dad. When we knew the parents were coming to visit we (my sister and I) would have alist of things that needed fixing! When they came in the home Dad would say "Hello What needs fixing?" He would get busy and we would sit and visit with Mom. 🤗🤗💞💞💙💙
I think that while you're working on the workshop you should enclose those areas where those tree clusters are with the fencing and put the goats in so they can clean out the underbrush. That will put you one step closer to being able to see the dirt bike trail. Everything is looking great!
Hi Crandall and Marci you guys never seem to amaze me you guys have got a lot of stuff done on the property and house Marci is so blessed to have you Crandall you are a really hard working man and everything you do for your family everything is coming along nicely i just love your family and want to say thank you for sharing your life and family with us ❤❤❤❤❤
Things are coming along. Marci you did an awesome job driving with the trailer. A different vehicle as well. It's nice the boys can all face forward. Does it make much difference to them? They sure do really travel well. They're hilarious! Crandall, when your shop is complete will have a place you can work on your plane? It's really cool that you're building a shop using shipping containers on part of it. I look forward to your videos every day. Oh by the way Marci, I liked your diagram in the dirt. The representation of the dirt bike track was good and wiggly.
I'm so glad you're getting rid of the pond. A pool will be better for you all. Love what you are doing to the place. I love watching the boys as they grow each day.
Crandall and Marci, really enjoyed your video. Those boys are growing up so fast and love seeing them! Love Marci's drawing on the ground! Just can't wait till your next awesome vlog.❤ and God Bless!
Crandall, your building abilities, must please your father. I don’t know who taught you all these things, but they taught you well Marci, your boys are so sweet. They are incredibly well-behaved all things considered. (that means with toddlers you get what you get, and most the time you’re pretty lucky lol) See you all tomorrow .
Won't setting the containers on the ground with all the dirt around it cause it to rust out? Just wondering? Keep Smiling. Stay Safe. God Bless You All. ❤🙏
You are doing fantastic!!! To take three little ones on that long of a journey both ways WOW!!! Fantastic!! That was a huge feat! I’m so glad it all worked out for you! God bless!❤️🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
I'm really enjoying your videos. Alot better than the cooking videos. Because I was a cook for over 25 years SOOOOO with that being said it makes me nervous to watch the cooking episodes, wanting to tell you how to do things the way I did them.Not saying your way is wrong. But to work with speed mostly. ❤❤ Darlene from Ohio.
Crandall, you're doing an amazing job! Watching you doing all this work reminds me of my husband. He was always determined to get it correct before moving on. It would drive me nuts. But, I learned how important it was. Great job! Your shop is going to be perfect.
Wide open as always getting things done … love how yalll do most of all the work that gets done yourself …. I pay people bc I have no choice but props to you for having the skills to do mostly everything lol
Future ground settling means your containers will settle also plus running the concrete off the containers will cause expansion and moisture build up under containers ❤
What a great idea you have for the shop! Will be interesting to watch and see what supports these with nothing in the middle. You guys have your hands full! Your house looks so good. Good job picking out everything and great job decorating, Marci! Enjoy following your videos!❤❤
That was a very cute video all three boys did great on the way to do those things Crandall I hope you get something when you go hunting that was nice of your dad to let you use his truck and that was nice of your neighbor to let you use his trailer to get that stuff you needed for the shop and that was nice you guys could stop to get something to eat that was to bad the boys was not happy on the way home Crandall I like the idea you have for those trusses I think that will look amazing I am glad you got those shipping containers level like you want them I hope it works out like you want it and what Marci was explaining sounds like a great idea also if you guys want to congratulations on starting on the shop again know it is time to do the dirt bike track and then the pond before you have to return the sked stater goes back Crandall I hope you can get all of that done before it has to go back I am glad you got a video edit in the truck but I bet it is hard to do I hope all the boys slept good that night I really enjoyed the video I can hardly wait for the next video thank you for the video and your guys time I hope you and your family has a great rest of your night and weekend thanks again ❤
Suggestion:before the concrete gets poured dig a trench amd put pvc in it with an elbow and some pvc sticking up hig enough to extend over the concrete when poured. This way you can cap it with a drain and be able to hose down the shop if needed and the water can go out somewhere. It will prevent sloppy memes and ice dangers if it gets that cold there in the winter time 😂
I love watching you build stuff an watching you work thru an talk us thru the process of it all. So entertaining ❤ much love to you Marcy an the boys 💙
Sounds like everything is coming thru. I'm glad you're strengthening the tresses, Crandall. You have lots of projects, I would not be able to keep track of what I'm working on.
Question: will the entire shupping contaoners be enclosed by the roof? If so thats even more storage! On top of the shipping contaoners where things can be stored in the shop and out of the way when not needed. Also supplies like towels, oil, fuel cans any chemicals etc. The possibilities are endless! Im getting hype with ya Crandall! 😂
Ive been in OK 2x to drive to CO. I got a speeding ticket both times. Once i was speeding 2nd time I had cruise set(I wasn'tspeeding). But have to say it was like the road you were on. You can be going fast and feel like your hardly moving....its way to flat 😂
I agree with others...I think that you should have concrete done by someone else...and you definitely need to raise the containers so they don't rust on the bottom ❤ pour your concrete first...like most building projects...❤
Hi 👋 all. Busy day. Love ❤️ your family. Boys are at a very difficult time in their life. Luckily, they will get better with the age. Gotta love twins. 😅😅❤❤. Be careful at night running around the yard. Ps heard that the movie is a must-see. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️ XOXO xoxo xoxo xoxo XOXO 😘
Have you considered maybe putting a drive thru door on each end of the center part of the shop? I don't know what you are going to be using it for, but it sure would be convenient at different times and much easier to put in now while in the planning stages. Just an idea.
Love your video you have done so much and have three awesome little boys ❤❤❤❤❤ will the water not seep under the containers and cause rusting and rotting then no flooring after a while maybe get concrete slap under both for protection
Where are the doors? Accessible for easy loading? Won't rain cause the containers to have erosion problems under them if they aren't on gravel or piers?
Instead of waiting for the sun to go down you can use a water level, Take two buckets and a hose and your have all you need for a water level. You can spend maybe $20.00 for two sections of clear tubing and hose fittings that will make it even easier to use a water level ❤
You can did a borrow put for the dirt and throw all the TRASH that is all over your property. It’s got so many trash heaps everywhere. What projects have you completed?
Why do the doors on the storage shipping containers open towards what I consider to be the backside of the of the shop? You may have explained that, and I just didn't understand it. I'm not that knowlegeable about construction work. Ha. It just seems it would be easier to access from the side closest to your house. I'm impressed still. ♥
You need to finish your entertainment center. Your family should come first at ALL times. Your shop can wait until you do right by Marci and your boys. They should never have to wait or come last to you. Get that done before you finish your shop. Your family’s home needs to be done first. Practice this, “Family first always”. They need to be your priority.
I think you should have pour the pad and put the shipping containers on the concrete because the ground will hold moisture in it it will rot your bottom out of your shipping container and then it would have been a slave over as you would want it to be overtime your shipping containers will settle on the dirt I am sure that you already know that I know it would have cost you more money and in the long run it would have paid off
I agree
Or maybe concrete blocks ❤
How long would he have to wait to put them on the concrete?
Agree
He doesn’t think long term…
Hello Eldridge fam. My mom (Dolores) and I discovered you a couple of months ago. She is 88 years old and had a stroke about 3 years ago. It’s hard for her to concentrate on things and keep her interest. Something about your show and your family really resonates with her. Every day she asks me if “our little family“ has posted anything today. It fascinates her that you are also in Oklahoma. Thank you for the time you take to share your lives with us.
Crandall, you are her favorite because her daddy was a carpenter/preacher. She remembers him doing so much of what you do.
Marcy, she is so concerned about how you go out in the sun or drive without your sunglasses with your beautiful blue clear eyes. She just thinks that’s too much sun for you. Lol.
And those boys. 🥰
Joy and happiness to you and your beautiful family.
Great job Crandall. Wish things were easier for you guys. The children are doing so well. Can’t wait for your next video. Hugs and Love to y’all. Grammie Suzie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was awesome that you found what you needed in those trusses. I love a good find, whether it is in ads or thrift stores. 💖☺️💖
You probably will want help doing the pad. A pad that size will take an experienced crew to pour and finish correctly. You'll be happier in the long run if you have it done right the first time. 💖💖💖
Wow, the amount of work is amazing moving the dirt and leveling the ground. You both are awesome while sharing your thoughts and input. Blessed by your kindness to each other and at the end of the day, smiling and laughing.
Hi kids. I’m learning all kinds of things. Thank you for the video.
You both totally amaze me in all you do and get done and raise 3 boys. Excited to see the finish of the shop
I definitely think you should hire someone to do the concrete work. You have saved so much by doing a lot of the work yourself.
My daughter and son both seen the new twister. Both said it was awesome. They did say it would have been neat to see Helen Hunt as a character. Whether a retired weatherperson or grandma to the family in this movie.Try to see it, enjoy!
Just thinking, would it be a good idea to give the containers a couple week or a month to settle. Because if or when it rains it’s probably going to settle. The ground isn’t compacted very well.
In the mean time you could rehome some of your animals as you had stated, And get their pen and shelter ready for the winter. Get the chicken coop set up nice for winter,And finish the inside projects in the house, now that it’s going to be really hot outside. Then in a few weeks when it’s a little cooler and the other projects are all done you can work outside on your workshop.
You get me confused with leveling. 😕With all that it's got to turn out good. I had to laugh about the kids singing in the back of the truck. They sound good. You have your own choir. 🤣🤔❤❤❤
It's a massive amount of work for one person and a Skidsteer with Marci's help when she's not with the boys. Kudos to you Crandall.
HEY y'all ❤ Crandall is there anything you can't do? You and Marcy are very hard worker. Marcy all three of the boys are getting so big and are talking so good. You both are awesome parents. I know how hard it is with three small ones, I had three girls close in age.

But most importantly, it will keep gophers, moles, and plants like honeysuckle and poison ivy from coming up through the beds. Take it from someone who had to move her raised bed garden this year because of this mistake.
The more often you travel long distances the boys will settle into road trips...❤
Crandall you remind me of my husband...every project required a new piece of equipment...he passed in 2013 and I have a garage full of tools and equipment 😂❤😂
The boys are all facing forward in their car seats! They are definitely growing fast.
Crandall you are a hard core worker. You will be proud of it all once you’re done.
I bet Crandall will NEVER be done 🤣💙🌟. But I know what You mean... Done with the shop.
Hello Eldredge Fam. You have accomplished alot today. And Taking three little boys on that long road trip, They did awesome. You have three terrific little boys. Crandall You are a man of many talents. And Marci you have so much patience with four males to look after. You do remind me of Dad.

Hello Crandall, Mercy, Maverick, and the boys😊
Glad you found those trusses.
love the vlogs the containers are looking good you sure do work hard .
I think that while you're working on the workshop you should enclose those areas where those tree clusters are with the fencing and put the goats in so they can clean out the underbrush. That will put you one step closer to being able to see the dirt bike trail. Everything is looking great!
Hi Crandall and Marci you guys never seem to amaze me you guys have got a lot of stuff done on the property and house Marci is so blessed to have you Crandall you are a really hard working man and everything you do for your family everything is coming along nicely i just love your family and want to say thank you for sharing your life and family with us ❤❤❤❤❤

It's really cool that you're building a shop using shipping containers on part of it.
I look forward to your videos every day.
Oh by the way Marci, I liked your diagram in the dirt. The representation of the dirt bike track was good and wiggly.
The best part is having more room in the back for them. When the shop is done I’ll be able to move the airplane in. I’m beyond excited about that!
That is going to be a great shop area.
Well done ,it’s going to be really great xx
I would saturate the ground around the units and see how it settles and then measure again to see how level they are…
I'm so glad you're getting rid of the pond. A pool will be better for you all. Love what you are doing to the place. I love watching the boys as they grow each day.
Crandall and Marci, really enjoyed your video. Those boys are growing up so fast and love seeing them! Love Marci's drawing on the ground! Just can't wait till your next awesome vlog.❤ and God Bless!
Crandall, your building abilities, must please your father.
I don’t know who taught you all these things, but they taught you well
Marci, your boys are so sweet. They are incredibly well-behaved all things considered.
(that means with toddlers you get what you get, and most the time you’re pretty lucky lol)
See you all tomorrow .
Won't setting the containers on the ground with all the dirt around it cause it to rust out? Just wondering? Keep Smiling. Stay Safe. God Bless You All. ❤🙏
You are doing fantastic!!! To take three little ones on that long of a journey both ways WOW!!! Fantastic!! That was a huge feat! I’m so glad it all worked out for you! God bless!❤️🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
Why don’t you just leave a little bit of the pond for the ducks.
I learned you have the energy of a football team. Amazing looks great
Use a stick with a Y so you can see where water might be in ground for pond.
My grandpa did that found couple springs that flow into pond
I'm really enjoying your videos. Alot better than the cooking videos. Because I was a cook for over 25 years SOOOOO with that being said it makes me nervous to watch the cooking episodes, wanting to tell you how to do things the way I did them.Not saying your way is wrong.

great job!! looking forward to the next
I'm a huge Reed Timmer fan from Tornado chasers, so I can hardly wait to see the new twister movie
Crandall, you're doing an amazing job! Watching you doing all this work reminds me of my husband. He was always determined to get it correct before moving on. It would drive me nuts. But, I learned how important it was. Great job! Your shop is going to be perfect.
Wide open as always getting things done … love how yalll do most of all the work that gets done yourself …. I pay people bc I have no choice but props to you for having the skills to do mostly everything lol
sure.Because Maverick was really doing good on those hills with this dirt bike.
Love to you all ❤

Hey E Fam, phew that's like driving to Boston for me!
I'm glad you completed your mission and arrived home safely 🎉.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Hi beautiful family I love watching your videos. The boys are growing up so fast. ✌️
It’s okay to be a ‘hair out of square’. Doing great with what you have.
Suggestion:before the concrete gets poured dig a trench amd put pvc in it with an elbow and some pvc sticking up hig enough to extend over the concrete when poured. This way you can cap it with a drain and be able to hose down the shop if needed and the water can go out somewhere. It will prevent sloppy memes and ice dangers if it gets that cold there in the winter time 😂
Obviously you'd have to cut the extending pipe to be flush with the ground.
I am so impressed with your and Marci work ethic. You work well together.
I'm with you, Marci! Glen Powell is very cute!🔥✈️
Hey Crandall and family ❤
Thats the way it should be
Can't wait to see it when it's all finished 😊 but I love watching the process of it all so Il miss that once it's all done lol
Great job you both have worked very hard 👍👏👏👏🥰🙏
I love watching you build stuff an watching you work thru an talk us thru the process of it all. So entertaining ❤ much love to you Marcy an the boys 💙
Crandall, you impress me more and more each video. Well done, again.
Do the roof first ,less to cover if it rains after you pour concrete.
Sounds like everything is coming thru. I'm glad you're strengthening the tresses, Crandall. You have lots of projects, I would not be able to keep track of what I'm working on.
When you get a ton of rain, will the ground sink under the containers?
Shouldent much if any. They’re won’t be water that can get under them.
Question: will the entire shupping contaoners be enclosed by the roof? If so thats even more storage! On top of the shipping contaoners where things can be stored in the shop and out of the way when not needed. Also supplies like towels, oil, fuel cans any chemicals etc. The possibilities are endless! Im getting hype with ya Crandall! 😂
Crandel after you did all your things on that trusses a good anti rust spray then they will look like new.
I hope you got a good deal on that 😉😂😂😂
What a trip. Good job guys.
Ive been in OK 2x to drive to CO. I got a speeding ticket both times. Once i was speeding 2nd time I had cruise set(I wasn'tspeeding). But have to say it was like the road you were on. You can be going fast and feel like your hardly moving....its way to flat 😂
Sure glad you know what you’re doing Crandall. I am so confused about all of the leveling details.
Me too! I'm no good with construction stuff.😮
I agree with others...I think that you should have concrete done by someone else...and you definitely need to raise the containers so they don't rust on the bottom ❤ pour your concrete first...like most building projects...❤
Good job 👏🏻
Love y’all bunches
💙🩷💙💙💙🐶
Glad you can reuse those trusses. Hope you can sandblast them.
Hi 👋 all. Busy day. Love ❤️ your family. Boys are at a very difficult time in their life. Luckily, they will get better with the age. Gotta love twins. 😅😅❤❤. Be careful at night running around the yard.
Ps heard that the movie is a must-see.
God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️ XOXO xoxo xoxo xoxo XOXO 😘

Love the daily videos! ❤
Cute shoes Marci ❤
Hey Crandall and Fam 👋👏💪🩵😎
Thai food is my favorite ohhh yummmmm
Oof, just the hours of driving are sooo tiring! You did a great job on getting those containers leveled!
I'm looking forward to build. This is exciting for me and it's not even mine 😊❤❤
Where are the doors? Accessible for easy loading? Won't rain cause the containers to have erosion problems under them if they aren't on gravel or piers?
Instead of waiting for the sun to go down you can use a water level, Take two buckets and a hose and your have all you need for a water level. You can spend maybe $20.00 for two sections of clear tubing and hose fittings that will make it even easier to use a water level ❤
Great job ❤
Try Little Caesars Italian Cheese Bread with Bacon and Italian Sausage. Yummy
Carry on! 🙏✝️🙏
You should have poured an entire concrete pad before setting the containers the containers should be setting on concrete
💖💖💖💖
What happened to the large building that you and your Dad took down awhile back?
More coming on that as well
❤
We need to get you the glasses to see the laser anytime of day!
The slope will also have any rain roll off the containers too
Are you putting a drain in the pad
Will this withstand your winds?
Yep
I live in Pilot Mound Iowa, they shot the movie Twister here. You have to go up Twister hill to get to our house.
You can did a borrow put for the dirt and throw all the TRASH that is all over your property. It’s got so many trash heaps everywhere. What projects have you completed?
Really, no need for your BS
If you have a big air compressor you could buy a sand blaster but if not you probably want to just rent one.
I just went and seen the new twister
Why do the doors on the storage shipping containers open towards what I consider to be the backside of the of the shop? You may have explained that, and I just didn't understand it. I'm not that knowlegeable about construction work. Ha. It just seems it would be easier to access from the side closest to your house. I'm impressed still. ♥
You need to finish your entertainment center. Your family should come first at ALL times. Your shop can wait until you do right by Marci and your boys. They should never have to wait or come last to you. Get that done before you finish your shop. Your family’s home needs to be done first. Practice this, “Family first always”. They need to be your priority.
