    Starting our Homestead project next month in NE WA, after a couple of years of planning. I've watched quite a few of your videos and videos from channels you recommended. My journey will be a solo one cause my wife passed early in 2021, but I know she is with me in spirit. Thank you for the lessons and inspiration to continue on our homestead journey.

    Oh my . This is going to look awesome. I've watched your channel since almost the beginning . I also watch red poppy ranch and wild wonderful of grid . And it's been just a joy to see all 3 of your build your dream homes from the ground up . I live in the UK and we build our houses with bricks . With aphalt tile roofing lol. Not as glamorous I do think. Thankyou for sharing your journey. Puts a smile on my face . Not matter what my day has been like 😁😁😁

    Hey Folks, for about $700.00 or so, you can buy an auger attachment for that shiny new tractor. That way hard working Jules can sip iced tea on her porch without an aching back. Farmsteads always need fence posts and such dug…. And I believe the root cellar short wall is called a “Knee-Wall”. Nice progress!!! You Folks are doing so many things…. Learning is always fun!

    Greetings from Colorado. I think the ground gets too cold for the termites to survive up north. We don't even need a termite inspection here when you purchase a home. You guys have done a really great job on this whole homestead project. We have followed you since the tent days. Thanks for taking the time to record your life for us to see.

    @patricelegg7561 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jules looks fabulous sporting those work boots. She is also an incredible example for anyone who is is performing construction 🦺. I actually stop watching any other channel that shows people working in CROCS and actually trying to defend that ignorant behavior. I did HR and Finance for construction related companies and any employee that didn’t take workplace safety procedures seriously were fired, period. I’ve seen too many gruesome injuries that were preventable. Kudos to Jules!!!!

  • @jamespayne8781
    @jamespayne8781 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Placing concrete and masonry work in general is just about the hardest work in construction. Congratulations, looks pretty good. That short wall can be called a stem wall or a cripple wall. Any studding shorter than full length is called a cripple stud.
