Woo those are huge. Glad you got them up 😊
That lift not working really sucks. Appreciate you comparing Canada vs USA based products and measurements.
I'm more impressed y'all can do that without absolutely ripping each others heads off.
👍👍👍👍👍❤️from northern Ontario
Great job eyeballing the posts into their bracket…Chris you have a great construction crew , not only that a great dancer!
Chris, Georgia you two scare me with your dare devil stunts Chris James. Another awesome job done. Keep up your great work. All the best, maybe a check valve in your pumps inlet side. Good flow though. Doug
Oh yeah monster trucks 🛻
Every time you took a breath in the water I was too 🤣🤣. Burr cold 🥶 not for me but I’m glad you did it . Good video
Yes it’s cold for sure. But does take away the pain after you get out. Glad to have it so close.
It’s nice the home is coming along….cold plunge …not me….it brings the little girl out of you ….high pitched voice…funny!
Hola de ARGENTINA , ❤ QUE BUENOS LOS TÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL ,FELICITACIONES POR TU CANAL 🎉
Thank you
Come on now! Cold plunge means exactly that cold PLUNGE!! Put your head under. Then it would be more effective. 😜
I will next time. Baby steps.
Excavator?
Ya. Should’ve gone that route.
Should have just used Tree Nails!!
Lol water dip reminded me of seinfeld episodes when George was in pool and said I was in pool lol
Hahahahahah
I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Time you took some time off, the bags under your eyes are getting a lot bigger, no offence intended! It is not worth killing yourself
Good job Chris, yep you are on the farm doing what Farmer's do best. Work hard dawn to dusk. Keeps the Stress level down. 😅
You got that right!
You got lucky, the truss company for my garage made mine 45ft. the spec called for 41ft tip to tip
Ouch. Hope you managed to get it all sorted
Bloopers, I want Bloopers. LMBO
HAHA ! I try my best to add in any funny bits! More to come. Thanks for watching!
Looks awesome
Thank you
I got a daughter and a granddaughter that would be just like you guys daughter and some that wouldn't touch getting dirty, but at least they will cook. lol
That’s great
Hello , we are new to the channel. Beautiful work. We are building our dream home by ourselves, not sure what we were thinking lol.
Welcome! There’s nothing like the satisfaction of seeing something come together that’s been created by your own two hands.
Really enjoying the precision on the home site👏👏👏. Enjoyed watching as usual. I watched you putting glue on the inside of the pipe and I was screaming no on the outside then I thought hopefully you know once you try putting it together 😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh Cathy I know 🤦🏽♀️. Haha glad I make you laugh hahahaha
Haha. Yes she caught it in the end.
I cannot watch your episode. TH-cam has blocked me for using add blocker.
I’ll be installing a septic system on our property within the next year or so. This video will help me understand how to install mine.
Glad we could help
Making improvements, looking good so far, sure hope you can get the rock hauler fixed, can't wait for the next video!
Working on it!
Hi again, Georgia you a awesome helper, love you opps comments. Chris is coming along. Good job and special mention to the kids. Riley is a scream. 😂
Thanks Doug.
Nice video 👏👏👏👏
Thank you 😁
Wow…getting a little silly is a sign of “CABIN FEVER”……good thing you got the camera to talk to, otherwise it would be lonely. Nevertheless you’re doing a AWSOME job..that dam rock truck…..ole reliable the excavator…
To bad you may have to dig the whole thing back up for an inspection! As for the rock truck, give it a taste of either, see if it will pop, a taste though, not a whole meal
Thanks for the tip. Will give it a go. Will need to pickup a new battery and starter I believe first.
❤ I should of driven the extra miles.. bet the owner of the store drove the extra mile to make a few bucks 😀🤣 I'd always say you gotta pay for convenience..
Next time!
Watch Red Poppy Ranch old videos as he cleared his land about 7 years ago he's still clearing as he continues to extend Ranch area's he doesn't have issues with flooding he knows what he's doing he's got a huge playlist...
Awesome. Thanks. Will check them out.
That rock truck is very frustrating. Hopefully your mechanic can get it going. Could be simple or expensive. Fight it all you can and then call in help while you spend your valuable time doing something else.
Yes I believe I’m almost at that point.
Now you know where to plant some field corn .
next step borrow a 😁😁😁large farm tractor or rent GET a farm RAKE to pick up sticks and whats left over
Yes that would be great. I’ll have to see if something like that is available in my area.
If I might make a suggestion. I've used a 3 pt landscape rake on the back of my tractor to make "windrows" and then use the bucket on my tractor and scoop up the rows of rocks and debris. Has work very well for me in some rough country here in central Texas. Also helps smooth out the ground.
Great idea! I’ll take a look at finding one of those.
One my grandfather's small farms years ago as kid I was told if your bad go pic up rocks.
Haha. I’ll let Brooklyn know that.
That’s my son…very innovative…..sticks and stones will not break his BONES!
This link is to Lumnah Acres video about them losing 1 of their highland bulls. It got spooked then broke through the fence. In the dark it fell down into a small ravine breaking it's neck. Have you had any issues with your cattle and precautions taken?
Hi Robert. Yes I have watched that video from lumnah acres. Very unfortunate. But no we haven’t had any issues like that, they have been spooked before but they know their terrain and haven’t had a problem.

Hi. all is good Chris & Georgia. You will always have rocks, you are not making a golf course, I was just on 160 acres of freshly seeded Carolla picking up rocks as I was chasing gophers. They just keep coming up. Cheers, wish you well and luck.
Yes this is true. I suppose because the soul is exposed and not covered with grass that it makes it seem like they shouldn’t be there.
Wow, it usually happens in 3’s……but I’m happy to see your still plugging on!
LOL, celebratory drink.
Have to keep things exciting.
Oh well…A for effort, sucks, all the the bad luck, with equipment ! But you guys got a lot of work done on the house, before the worst part of winter hit. The house will be a beauty when finished, I like your design choices ! All the best getting your Heavey equipment running good ! Following…
Thanks Robert. Appreciate the positive feedback.
I know that in a future video, things will be going right, right, right! On a scale of 1 to 10 for a man's capabilities, you Chris are a 10. I am at most 8 or 9. The reason I watch your channel is because you impress me. Take care and see you next video. 😊
Thank you. Always room to grow and learn. Can’t say I do everything right but always willing to give it a try and learn from my mistakes.
@@doingitallanyway7605 👍👍👍!!! I love watching a complete homestead built from scratch.
Well we are glad to have you on the channel. And stay tuned for the journey.
Sometimes you aren't supposed to accomplish certain things or get to a certain place because bad things would happen right then. Give it time. Old equipment is very frustrating for sure.
I agree with what you’re saying. Sometimes it’s hard to have to be patient in a life going so fast.
It's ok Chris life's ups and down. Tomorrow will be a better day. Progress one step at a time.
Thanks Doug.
Good tip on the custom fuel filter wrench
You bet
Great job getting the track back on.. some days its like pulling teeth..its not easy anyone who says it is has no idea what they are talking about !
Thanks. Definitely wanted to give up a few times. But have to find a way through it to succeed.
I enjoy watching your channel. I am from Scotland nice to see the Highland coo’s ( cow’s )🏴🏴🏴
Thanks for watching! Couldn’t imagine having any other breed.
