My mansion is getting an addition. Today I am attempting to prepare the work area around the house for the new garage and bedrooms. I come up with a plan, fix a dump truck, operate large equipment, break and remove old concrete, load a dump truck, run a demolition saw, and learn a lot along the way.

I love Chomps . Great for traveling.
Is there anyway you can include an oil pit in your new garage? My old neighbor used to have one in his garage. He used to change everyone's oil for super cheap. I know you do all your own maintenance, so an oil pit in the garage would be super helpful. Just a thought. Not sure what the protocol is for oil changes right now. Just thinking ahead and how nice that would be to have.
Love chomp, Great for hiking and just snacking.

I’m not able to buy right now but I bookmarked the page and I intend to purchase in August. Thank you for sharing this nutritional food!
24V is a "boost" for 12V vehicles. Every electrician paused the video and made themselves popcorn as soon as Cole said that, to enjoy the show 😅
Exactly. Cole - if it is electrically based, walk away and let someone else do it. You are going to end up killing yourself and then what will I watch?
Yeah, it’s not a good idea to run 24 V to a 12 V system. I agree with you fellas Cole should’ve just tow started. The truck would’ve avoided a lot of extra problems.
If it doesn't have a 24 volt battery or you aren't using pairs of car batteries, it isn't 24 volt pfft ..
😂😂😂
24 volts = “get ready to let the smoke out”
The brake booster is called a hydra boost. It has hoses that hook in to the power steering system. That electric motor under the booster is the backup pump if the power steering pump breaks or the engine is shut off. The wire you unhooked is the positive power wire. Check your brake light switch, it triggers the motor along with relays and stuff. Most common problem is the brake light switch.
Thank you so much!
I had a feeling about the brake switch too 😊
He is 100 percent correct about the electric motor being the backup system for the breaks and about the break lights switch being most likely the issue. Great job again, Roman. @Romegrom
I would have never thought they had electric pumps back then. It’s on newer vehicles. I still seem to learn new things everyday about vehicles.
@@Romegrom should have a relay, ps flow switch, and pressure sensor as well, either of those will cause the constant on.. if you cant find truck specific wiring diagram google "hydro-max standby wiring diagram"
or better yet "1980 ford medium duty hydroboost wiring diagram" one of the top image results is on justanswer has an 80s break down,
and someone just as familiar with the bendix system on motorhomes or the chevy kodiac would be great helps too
@@charleswelch249 that's what we need to see more of in these comments ppl lifting ppl up an saying good job. Instead of someone maybe saying something that wasn't intelligent an someone bashing them calling them an idiot lol. Not that anyone here said anything unintelligent just a scenario lol. Awesome lifting another man or human up!!!
old concrete + concrete crusher = driveway material
This farm has tons of buried concrete under the ground. What you see here is nothing.
Concrete crusher I would agree too
A garage, a second floor, and a new roof. VERY ambitious! Glad to hear you have pros working on the design!
ETA: An underground movie theater too!
Can't you spread all of that dirt on your fields???
He could probably spread out the top soil but the dirt from deeper down is sand and clay. You don't want to dump that on a fertile field.
There are places he could spread the dirt. He may have reason he wants to spread it out someplace else.
UNDER what? the garage?
@@diegojines-us9pcyes.
Why finish the current project when you can start a new one...
Dump Truck needs some love. You wouldn’t get most things done without ‘’Dump Truck.’’ Great videos.
I guess all my life we called them stake trucks. It just happens this tuck has a dump bed. To me it is a funny looking dump truck.
The ethanol plant my husband works at did an addition a few years ago and in doing so, unearthed tons and tons of huge limestone junks and slabs. Anyone willing to load and haul it, was welcome to it for free. I begged him to bring home a few truck and trailers full. He did and i built the most beautiful waterfall/pond feature on a hill out back. The pond part is hidden by river rock my grandson and i resourced from big walnut creek 5 gal buckets at a time. I made stepping paths all around the back garden area and a walled rectangular fireepit area with them and then had over 15 ton of gravel brought in to fill it all in. HARD SCAPING is what they call it i guess, but it was a really beautiful way to incorporate the elements for tranquil harmony. WATER FIRE WIND EARTH. Flowers and trees, wind chimes and waterfall.
Would love to see your finished project. It sounds beautiful.
Wow! That sounds lovely❤️🤗🐝
Pictures please
I'd love to see that too, but would really love to see some pictures of the stages of this project with how you started with the concrete pieces at the bottom first. I wonder how all of this took place?
Been loving watching these seeing the progression on the house and your personal progression
Yea!!! Thank you Cole! So enjoy watching your channel!
I’m really enjoying this series.
Love your style, keep rocking it!
Thanks for sharing the videos of this restoration and also talking about your diet, cutting out certain foods. Maybe you could do a video sometime on what types of meals you eat, and all of the fruits/vegetables you WILL consume? Thanks for sharing!!
everything is coming along nicely.... your great grandfather and grandfather are smiling at the wonderful job and all the ideas you have for the family home 🙂
He was a hoarder of the worst kind and I think he would not like this one bit.
@@greghamann2099 I'm just trying to be nice 🤷♀️
@@PegAMurphy I know and that's ok.
I live in New York and I do concrete removal in basement floors and walls and we dump it for free to a Concrete Recycling center. They recycle the concrete and asphalt debris transforming them into useable material like crushed concrete and asphalt millings.
Several gravel pits in my area do the same thing. Drop off for free
Cole. Can you do a financial break down of having the wind power stations on your land? Saw my small town gets $34,700 per year per windmill. Read that in the paper. Hopefully you guys are getting a nice cut.
Believe me they are.
Your on a learning curve, patience is a golden teacher. I enjoyed watching the video, big thumbs up
I like this guys go get stuff done attitude. If I don't know how now, I will when I'm done. I am glad he already has 2 little boys. I am confident Cole and Nave will be raising them with those values
Freaking luv watching this!! Thank u for sharing this is by far the coolest remodel I have ever seen
Interesting perspective, got me thinking!
Yes... That is a power brake booster. I am surprised the brakes still work. Roman is correct, you have a closed circuit somewhere.
Thanks! Took a while for me to find a mechanic who chimed in!
What a nice series.
you certainly are a worker hon....I know your Mom and Dad are proud of you AND your wife....I love your work ethics..
This is creepy...
@@Mania26 creepy?
@@gailwalton5779 Ye this coment feels like stalking.
@@Mania26 well I am sorry you feel like that cos I am NOT stalking anyone...I complimented him on his work ethics and told him I know his parents and his wife must be proud of him....dang.
I can't wait till you get to the finish work on home . It's going to be beautiful ❤️🏠
I think I'd use all that fill to make a large berm out by the road in front of your house. A small hill which could give the place some privacy from the road and also be a great place to plant things. If the hill is high enough in winter your kids could use it to sled down and in the warmer months a good place to play on instead of just a large flat yard with no shady areas to play on. If there were trees planted on it in future there could be forts etc.
That tiny amount of dirt wont make any berm big enough for privacy. His house sits up fairly high from the road, not to mention he is kinda in the middle of farm country, i dont see much traffic he needs privacy from either.
@@warrenmichael918 they still have to dig out the basement of the addition which would add more to the berm and if you also plant trees and bushes on it it would not totally block the house from the road but it would add visual interest to the yard instead of just a flat field in front of your house.
@@piperlynne1 still gonna take tons and tons of more dirt to make any berm worth having with such a long yard like he has. His yard is big out front but its not really flat, it has a pretty decent grade up to the house, at least up from the old tree rows he cleared out. I agree though that some trees or landscaping would look good but im not sure Cole wants anything out there. If i was gonna have some trees or landscaping out in the yard, i woulda been planting it as soon as my yard work was done so it has time to grow. Who knows what he will do though.
Job well done, Cole and Roman!
Use the concrete for stopping water erosion around your bridges on the farm, we’ve used old concrete in several area’s of the creaks to stop erosion.
Came here to say this!
Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to bring in a concrete Crusher. Then you have the crushed concrete to use for base material.
In my area a smaller rock crusher rental is about $1,500 a day. That's about the cost of 4 tandem dump trucks of crushed limestone.
Thousands os dollars per day.....nope, not cost effective!
@@gerryhartung736 ok for argument purposes.
If Cat rental, a subsidiary of caterpillar equipment rentals the biggest baddest Rock Crusher for $5,500 a day and someone charged $2,500 for 4 hrs to crush Rock....
Now If a tandem load of crushed crushed limestone is $400 delivered. That's actually pretty cheap because I live in an area where there are three rock quarries very close.
$2,500 ÷ $400 = 6.25
So if that rock Crusher crushed more than 6 dump truck loads, it would be more cost-effective, right?
🎉 Just a cruise'n right along!😊 You guys are Outstanding! ❤❤
You could make a killing on those beautiful radiators
not sure about a killing but he could sell them to the right people for a few bucks. 1 Or 2 of the weird shaped ones would do better than the normal older looking ones but he isnt gonna waste time to try and find people to buy them.
I was suggested here while listening to the song “Dupe - Kontrolla” 😅😅😅
Love watching you rebuild your house 🏠 ❤ Hi from Traverse city mi 😊
What continually strikes me is how your wholesome midwestern values play into your success as a farmer.astonishing!!
My husband and I are both diabetic. We love snacking on chomps. They taste so good!
Love the channel just found you two weeks ago and your videos are great.
The dreams are becoming reality! Feels like the upstairs addition was a well-kept secret -- but I certainly recall the dream of an attached garage & the underground movie theater. It's SO exciting hearing the plans about to be REAL! All I can say is WOWEE! WOW! WOW! Love this! So far from the HOARDER videos I first stumbled upon! -- From a young farmer in Iowa! Love it!
I hope that hawking beef sticks will pay for all of this nonsense.
I feel so sorry for Mama Cornstar. I bet she'd like her house back.
@@teret6719 I think so too.
It was never a secret he always said it would be a 2 story addition with additional bedrooms for last few years.
@@614realness8 I'm so excited to see the dreams coming to pass.
I so happy to see a new video!!
You go Cole with the good food! I'm a 17 year stage 4 breast cancer survivor. I am eating carefully.
Cole I am in envy of you. Living the dream my brother.
Cole, with you working on the house project all the time, do have any time for farming? Just sayin... Greetings from Wisc
I wonder that too. I am a badger too.
I really apprecieate honesty, "I have no idea what we unhooked" , so honest.
The drone footage at the end was especially enjoyable!
Cole, you have always been so transparent with the workings and finances of the farm, how are you paying for all the work that you are doing on this restoration? Love these videos, and you are very lucky to have someone like Roman helping you.
Don't tell me you really think he's making TH-cam videos just for fun. Did I mention I've got some swamp land in Florida for sale?
Bring concrete to gravel pit with a crusher. Gravel pits make millings out of all sorts of items. Concrete,stone,brick,hard cement. Etc.
Have you ever thought about getting a rock crusher and turning all that old concrete into gravel? It would allow you to reuse it and probably save you some money.
Most farmers don't need rock crushers. I think you are confused. This is not a construction channel.
@@greghamann2099 So, you're saying rock crushers can only be used by construction channels.... got it. 🙄
Are you aware how much a rock crusher costs!
Rock crusher would cost more than the gravel would cost if he bought the same amount of gravel as the concrete would make
@@billdgator5051are you? What does it cost to rent one?
Yay ! Chomps! We love Chomps! my teen son loves the turkey option, too! They have a special spot in our pantry so we always know when it's time to restock.
Don't beat yourself up about scheduling time. Dude you are the most AMAZING MOTIVATED young man with TONS of ENERGY and you ACCOMPLISH one thing at a time. Enjoy the present of today. Never give up. Keep GOING!
For getting rid of the concrete I would suggest you look at getting a concrete crusher then you could look at reusing it as the base for the new addition or under other roads on the property
I’m surprised you don’t need permits or inspections! Love the channel and this build series! Great job guys!
Wow, what a project all that concrete!
9:53, Put an egress window in the theater room with a sump-pump under it's floor. I did one in Waterloo & it did not freeze at 20 below.
You got it ,Dream Team .
Cool.....so that let Summer out of the county work farm after the "incident"! That's great, welcome home.
Roman got an arm work out just getting the saw going!
You guy do the work you do is because your young superhero's .
I can’t wait to see how you guys handle the footer under the old staircase
Great content
Chomps are the best! My kids love them and I don’t have to feel bad about giving them a snack like CHOMPS! I love the jalapeño ones!
The perfect house for YOURneeds. Well, worth the wait.
That dump truck is a treasure.imkinda attached to it .❤😂
I agree. It has been hauling away hundreds of loads of his grandpa's junk for years now. I can't believe it still runs.
You should start a live stream of the scenery 24/7.. it may or may not catch y'all working but that view behind you is amazing
I’m so glad to see the scrap pile cleaned up. What are you saving the massive cast iron radiators for?
Don’t worry about guessing how long to get something done. You do not know what or if any obstacles will come up.
As I recall, this house is already about 5k square feet and you're now adding more bedrooms. Whoa...I envision many little Cole's in that movie room enjoying popcorn.
Will you make any changes to the entrence to the house?
Put it higher up so the steps are outside instead of inside? That way you get a bigger level floor inside, instead of steps and a small area of floor.
And some kind of roof outside above the door, to not get rain or snow blowing into the house?😊
I'd venture to guess that your other equipment isn't 24v, but 2 x 12v batteries in PARALLEL, When run in SERIES, then the voltage goes to 24v. More than likely, Ron's dozer is 24v. Great content Cole. 👍
Get the molds and rebar cages, and make Beto blocks for retaining walls and dirt & gravel bins. Tell everyone around the area to send leftovers for washout and disposal. 5:39
Make a concrete berm a cover it with your dirt
I was pondering your talk about your weight control.
I'm happy for you and Roman.
When l was your age, l was svelte also. Then life happened 30,40,50 ... the pounds wanted to stay they were harder to keep off.
That youthful metabolism does wain.
So enjoy the ride.😂
I'm surprised you didn't blow out your battery with that 24 volts. You should get a charger that has a 12-volt high amp charge which charges quicker.
You put 24 volt to 12 volt system to start them it is fine.
@@johnunsicker7440 I melted a battery doing it when I was a kid. Is it different liquid core vs solid core?
Love the way yall say ruff for the rooof😂
Thanks for another "Cole the Corn Star"! video❤
Procrastination is the key to flexibility. Works every time. Just finished the painting of shutters, took six months.
Awesome!
I had some of those chomps recently and they are definitely really good.
Great video guys..Thank you so much
You should rent a rock crusher and make a load of gravel which you can distribute were needed. Well that is if the cost to rent one is less then buying the equivalent amount of gravel.
No way. They get it dirt cheap. The bin site has tons of gravel under and around it.
@@greghamann2099 The bins doesn't have ton of gravel under it. If it did have ton of gravel it wouldn't be failing right now. They dug the dirt out and built on top of the dirt.
@@johnunsicker7440 It sounds like you didn't watch it being done but I did. You can see for yourself the process is archived on the channel. You are guessing.
That thing you disconected is a electric power steering assist. it is put on older 2 ton trucks to help with steering.
It’s always good to set a time limit to projects so you have goals. They usually don’t go the way you want. I like to think I want to be at this point by this time. Or this gets done then I can take a break. But sometimes if it’s not going the way you want, you need a break and then look at it after stopping with new eyes.
I'm enjoying watching the house come together. Love me some Chomps! I go for the original, and jalapeno is my husband's favorite. :) God Bless!
Don,t throw the pallets away...use them for firewood...thanks for the video ...have a blessed day...
With all that dirt and debris, you should build a little hill/mountain for the kids to slide down - complete with a built in staircase up on one side..... our neighbourhood made one for all the kids and it is always in use in the wintertime.
Love @Chomps they helped me get my diabetes under control through diet. You guys are doing a great job 🥰
Love the vids. Cole your very honest and open about your experiences. Refreshing. My motorhome electric brake booster would stick on like that because the brake pedal was sticking down a bit. If it starts doing the noise go in and pull up on the brake pedal. God bless.
Since it's so flat there, how about landscaping and making a few grassy hills, berms, etc. With that dirt to break up the flatness?
And why didn't you use some of that lumber that was from the house that was taken out or left over for the sides of that trailer
What is not bad just take it for the plate. The one you farming on it or the place the one you guess gonna do some green stuff on it. It’s gonna be. It’s gonna be very good. Get them inside the road make the road the one is the place this one put it there, God bless man enjoy the video and I will come later and I love
Use wood pallet for garden boxes for kitchen vegetable and herbs make stand box off the ground. Strawberries, blueberries ect..
Thanks Cole so much fun to watch your videos and Roman is a beast
Have a concrete mountain in the garden somewhere, add dirt on top, plant grass and use it as a snow slide hill in Winter 🛝🛷
The kids will love it 😊
HEY COLE!!!
If you planning to do an underground home theater system here are some things you should know.
Run Conduit Piping in the concrete, when you pour it.
This way, when you run your speaker cables, cat 5 cable, or cables and power, you're not running them through a bunch of two-by-fours, which will rattle and shake not only the wood but the cables as well.
Secondly, you need to purchase proper acoustic panels and sound-deading material to make sure the room's acoustics are correct. Not enough sound deading, the room will be too bright,... too much sound deading the room will be too dull. You need to find the correct amount of acoustic material to make it sound fantastic.
Might I suggest installing a smart home connection system server in your house? This way you can connect and control everything from your smartphone (cellphone) and your voice, plus see everything that's going on. You can see if your security system and lights, music, temperature, and what windows and doors are open and unlocked. Plus your home theater too, as well.
Lastly, picking and deciding what gear you want for a high-end home theater system. THAT THE FUN PART!!!
Might I recommend these audio brand components:
NAD
ANTHEM
MCINTOSH
PIONEER ELITE
As for the speakers;
PARADIGM
PSB
BOWERS AND WILKINS
KLIPSCH
MCINTOSH
BOSTON ACOUSTIC
The company's have been around for well over 40+ years.
Just find a reputable home theater audio installation company and have them sit down with you and your blueprints. This way you're getting what you're paying for.
Yes, you think you could do this yourself Cole, but for this,...best to leave this one to the professionals.
God bless have fun, and good luck!!!
Keep up the great work.
Ps. Your lawn looks great by the way!
Roman and you are doing an excellent job on the rebuild that electric motor on the brakes is an emergency backup it works when the hydraulic pressure fails or your engine dies that way it has hydraulic pressure. Long as your engine don't die you'll be fine
Cool my friend of the past remodeled about 7 townhouses he worked on with him.❤
Thank goodness Daddy Cornstar is mak8ng videos.
Nice! I knew that concrete was going to have to go, it was cracked up. So, nice job!
Perhaps what you disconnected as the motor for your dump truck lift? Lol. I love watching people work. Reminds me of my dad and his brothers and friends getting things done.
I'm going to order some jalapeño chomps right now!
I’m the same way on my jobs to . I almost 50 and been doing it since a kid with my dad . it’s always like that and that was a crazy thick slab
How much of the additions do you want to get done before you move back in? How much can you get done before harvest and winter?
I’ve been watching you since you were 19, I’ve come to the conclusion that you are the busiest person in the world!
We need a short video of Roman crankin the demo saw lol
Comps are good. I get the big sticks at Costco. Great work on the house Cole!
Definitely an '80-'86 Ford. That dash is the same as their standard pickups/Broncos from that era.
