Every year I say I’m doing all my fencing in the winter. Winter comes and goes, no fencing is done lol. There’s just something about fencing in the summer heat that makes somebody appreciate winter 😆
Team work makes it so much better. Sense of accomplishment that both of you can look at for years to come. Good to see husband and wife working together. You have come a long ways in just a short time.
The place is looking so great! No more trash dump, beautiful tree row all cleaned up, nice straight fenceline. Rebekah is the greatest helper ever! Keep up the great videos and God Bless.
Evan it is amazing that you put yourself in front of the camera to do All your projects. I give you a lot of credit. You not afraid of making errors and do a great job at all your tasks. I am amazed at you electrical knowledge. It is very interesting watching all you videos. Thank you for producing them. They bring knowledge and enjoyment to many people. Your farm and house look amazing. Congratulations.
Hi Evan I like your friendly and loving nature. It looks to me like you're going to start laughing any minute. I love to see what you two have built. You have given me much pleasure. Watch your eyes when working with wire. Greetings from Germany from Grandpa Manfred
A tip I learned from a pro fencer to get that wire to move more freely and tighten in your cross braces is to use a few of those fencing staples and sit them between the brace and the wires on the outside corners. Stops the wire digging into your post and biting. Keep up the good work, hi from Australia! 🇦🇺
Evan, snakes, backwards fence, look man, put the tools away, start the grill, pop the top of your favorite tipple and relax!! And, if you don’t drink, that snake alone is a good reason to!!
Really enjoy your videos. You never try to jury-rig anything. You always try to do it the right way even if you have to redo it. The best way in the long run! Happy Mother's Day Rebekah!
Still turning up the soil to find those hidden treasures. If one kept pigs over this area the pigs would have a hay day digging up history. Better to let the tractor do the screwing down with nature than some farmers going for an unscheduled vertical tour of the farm with a hand held pole digger. Nice Video of the fence build.
Nice fence building video. Your system differs from our come along on the back of a tractor to pull the barbed wire fence tight. Thanks for posting. My dad is gone now and I loved building fence with him.
Just think Evan, when you bought this farm you said you had never put up a fence before. Just look how far you have come. It’s absolutely awesome . The Lord has been you all the way and will never leave you. God bless you both and take care❤
Idea: set up a fence trailer having your supplies in it all the time. This is handy when you need to do emergency repairs. After doing a fence project, you check and replenish supplies. Will you run a top barb wire and or an electric stran?
Great team effort. Fence looks good and the garbage pit is history. Definitely an improvement. Tell Rebecca she doesn’t have to wear designer jeans for the videos. 😁 Wish you wore safety glasses. One broken wire or rebounding nail and goodbye eye.
I really think you should invest in what we, in Australia, call a spud bar. With the head of the bar, you can stamp and drive the post in any direction. They come in handy when you require a good lever as well. The chisel end is excellent for breaking up rock. I included a photo in the FaceBook page.
We brought 10 acres just like this. Took down a single wide trailer and old diary barn. All fences and blackberry vines all gone. A lot of work before we could build our barn house.
Right idea using the tiller and great job levelling it . Not sure if compacting it again by driving the tractor repeatedly on . Better loose soil for seeding . 😊 . Your property is taking great shape 🤝
The only problem we have had with cattle in a woven fence is they love to rub on the top of it and bend it down. you have a new, strong fence. So, they may not damage it. But, we have added a single strand of barbed wire above it, just to prevent cattle from using the woven fence to scratch on.
Good fencing, always a treat to see auger and fence monkey in action fencing the USA way. My clay soil runs with spring water all year and corner posts and braces take ages to stabilise. Always a good excuse to use my vintage fordson and wacker plate. Thanks for posting. Best wishes from the UK.
Great job! Looks so much better than it did when the old fencing and trash pit were there. You've got a beautiful piece of property and it keeps getting better! What a team!
Today sounds like a tough day. Just remember what T Roosevelt said…”In any given situation the best thing you can do is the weight thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, the worst thing you can do is nothing.” So this day has just been on of next best, but no worst thing…. The other thing I would say is I watch you give your wife and extraordinary amount of grace, mercy, understanding, and love. Give your self a little grace….God does.
You guys work well as a team 😊 , The field that you rent out and are hoping to use as pasture looks awesome , will be a excellent for your livestock or hay 👍...
It is really interesting watching you build your fences. Looks like you really know what you are doing. Like all of us, we make mistakes. But you seem to know how to work around them.
The old saying is, been there done that, I've had days like you are having where it seems like you are taking one step forward and two back, I like the way you are keep on keeping on.
If you ever have a problem where you run the brace wire wrong, you can always run the opposite wire to create a "X". Anymore 90% of the braces I build are that way. Definitely makes them stronger IMO.
i probably would have just done an x brace.. Never ready for the Hot weather!!! i like to put my gate hinge pins so the gate will swing back against the fence. good work have fun
My uncle Ordin Bob used to drive stake flags next to ground level stumps as a location reminder. He wasn't building fence, he just wanted reminders where to grind stumps. It could work for you. Maybe your dad will buy them as a gift to prevent equipment damage.
I think you did fine on the fencing, I've put a few fences up for myself and when I was a young man my dad, brother and I put up quite a bit up for other farms. We made our mistakes, but you can always make adjustments to fix those. We use two 2x4's and sandwich the woven wire between them and use bolts to hold them together. Your fence looks good to me, good luck on the new cattle. I hope your wife had a great mothers day and your weekend went good as well, have a nice week.
Happy Mother's Day Rebekah. I looks like a very busy one for you. The fencing looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing what you picked out this year. Have a Blessed day.
Good video. Hot weather is never easy to work in and always seems to make things go wrong. Tell Rebecca Happy late Mother's Day and one of the good things about snakes is that they do eat mice!
I know you went and got a level. But if you ever forget in the future or get stuck without a level, there is a level app that you can put on your phone. You would be amazed how well it works too.
Fence looks great!
Happy Mother's Day Rebekah 🌹Nice job on the fence you guys❤️🇨🇦
It's amazing how far you've come in regards to installing fence!! Fantastic job...even if you had a few set backs 👍
Happy Mother's day Rebekah ❤️💐🌹🌼🌺

Wow!! I Loved the way you tighten the fence!! You Guys Rock!! God Bless and have a Great Week!! ❤🌻⚘
Hi Evan
I like your friendly and loving nature.
It looks to me like you're going to start laughing any minute. I love to see what you two have built. You have given me much pleasure. Watch your eyes when working with wire. Greetings from Germany from Grandpa Manfred
I enjoy your videos so much I don’t want them to be over,
Oh man we all have days like this. Can’t wait to see that field become pasture
We all have days like you're having today. Love your channel and you and Rebecca.

Evan, You can blame the snake for causing the backward brace.
Evan, snakes, backwards fence, look man, put the tools away, start the grill, pop the top of your favorite tipple and relax!!
And, if you don’t drink, that snake alone is a good reason to!!
You guys are amazing! Thanks for letting us watch. :)
😊Dads always forgive. I am sure he is happy to see you farming.
Rebecca You have lots of children in the barn. Happy Mother’s Day.
Really enjoy your videos. You never try to jury-rig anything. You always try to do it the right way even if you have to redo it. The best way in the long run! Happy Mother's Day Rebekah!

Landscape is taking shape…looking real good all buttoned up…cheers from 🇨🇦👍
Good progress even on a hot day. This is a noticeable difference. Thank you for sharing.
When things get tough just keep on pushing forward don’t let the simple things get the best of you
Nice fence building video. Your system differs from our come along on the back of a tractor to pull the barbed wire fence tight. Thanks for posting. My dad is gone now and I loved building fence with him.
The fence looks good and you and Rebecca did a great job. I know Rebecca is looking forward to the cows and animals love her.
Love your video brother keep up your video brother. 5_ 14 _ 23👍👍🤘👏
Thanks for showing the mistakes you make. I feel less a fool when I do the same thing. Place is looking good. Still waiting for the wood pile rebuild.
That's pretty much how I install T-posts. The fence looks really good (better than I usually do).
Fence is looking good. You guys did a great job.
Just think Evan, when you bought this farm you said you had never put up a fence before. Just look how far you have come. It’s absolutely awesome . The Lord has been you all the way and will never leave you. God bless you both and take care❤
I love how frequently you’ve been posting!
I’ve found that in doing projects I now plan and write out a step-by-step procedure. Works for me.
Idea: set up a fence trailer having your supplies in it all the time. This is handy when you need to do emergency repairs. After doing a fence project, you check and replenish supplies. Will you run a top barb wire and or an electric stran?
Another hardday’s work for this hardworking homestead team… Kudos 👍👍👍
Great team effort. Fence looks good and the garbage pit is history. Definitely an improvement. Tell Rebecca she doesn’t have to wear designer jeans for the videos. 😁 Wish you wore safety glasses. One broken wire or rebounding nail and goodbye eye.
You are so entertaining.

"King Kutter", Rural King to the Rescue!!! Just wish they had more stores west of the Missi.
That's what you call GREAT TEAMWORK!!!
We brought 10 acres just like this. Took down a single wide trailer and old diary barn. All fences and blackberry vines all gone. A lot of work before we could build our barn house.
That tiller does the best job of any tiller I have ever seen. Great job as always.
Right idea using the tiller and great job levelling it . Not sure if compacting it again by driving the tractor repeatedly on . Better loose soil for seeding . 😊 . Your property is taking great shape 🤝

Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Happy Mother’s Day, Rebecca
👍👍👍👍👍👌Nice job great teamwork
Happy Mother’s Day Rebekah!! Great Job Evan…. Everything is looking great 🤙
So, Rebecca doesn't like snakes and mice. Well, neither do I. You do a great job when it comes to installing fences.
Looks like this could be a full time job farm is looking great!!
Good fence Build !
Goooood Job U2!
Cracking job you two 👍👏
Good fencing, always a treat to see auger and fence monkey in action fencing the USA way. My clay soil runs with spring water all year and corner posts and braces take ages to stabilise. Always a good excuse to use my vintage fordson and wacker plate. Thanks for posting. Best wishes from the UK.
Keep on it! you'll get it done.
It’s amazing watching you put the fence in. You did a great job!
Looking good. Nothing about fence building is easy or quick!!!
Happy Sunday Brock!!
I am going to guys your building a pool
Hello Rebecca & Evan.
You sure get good looking fence builders over there in Illiniland. Over here we get bearded Amish guys.🤪
Love youś farm her from Danmark ❤❤
Great job! Looks so much better than it did when the old fencing and trash pit were there. You've got a beautiful piece of property and it keeps getting better! What a team!
Evan, maybe you were tired. Tired and hot makes some mental errors, but the end result looks so good!
Today sounds like a tough day. Just remember what T Roosevelt said…”In any given situation the best thing you can do is the weight thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, the worst thing you can do is nothing.” So this day has just been on of next best, but no worst thing….
The other thing I would say is I watch you give your wife and extraordinary amount of grace, mercy, understanding, and love. Give your self a little grace….God does.
I love your videos and have every one of them for years. They are just so soothing to me!
Very good job on fence Evan and Rebekah .
Nice job! Fence looks great!
You guys work well as a team 😊 ,
The field that you rent out and are hoping to use as pasture looks awesome , will be a excellent for your livestock or hay 👍...
Great work guys.
Nice work you two!
It is really interesting watching you build your fences. Looks like you really know what you are doing. Like all of us, we make mistakes. But you seem to know how to work around them.
You both are very hard works
The old saying is, been there done that, I've had days like you are having where it seems like you are taking one step forward and two back, I like the way you are keep on keeping on.
Evan builds stuff right because he builds it twice. 😂
Nicely done, the post, tilling, compacting and your fence. Have a great day!!
Good to see the new fence up Evan can't wait to see the steers you bring home thank you for sharing
Great job Evan and Rebekah awesome team work as usual
Good job 🙂
If you ever have a problem where you run the brace wire wrong, you can always run the opposite wire to create a "X". Anymore 90% of the braces I build are that way. Definitely makes them stronger IMO.
Nice job.
Nice black racer.
i probably would have just done an x brace.. Never ready for the Hot weather!!! i like to put my gate hinge pins so the gate will swing back against the fence. good work have fun

Evan, love the show. Why no roundup. Get everything looking nice and neat.
Just wondering where are two dogs? Love your videos. Thank you.
Looks very nice. Things are coming along nicely with the fence . Keep up the good work.
Happy birthday

You made your own fence stretcher for a lot less money.
Happy Mother's Day Rebekah. I looks like a very busy one for you. The fencing looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing what you picked out this year. Have a Blessed day.
thx again
Good video. Hot weather is never easy to work in and always seems to make things go wrong. Tell Rebecca Happy late Mother's Day and one of the good things about snakes is that they do eat mice!
You know you have accomplished a task correctly when you do it the wrong way first.
Good job. I've had days....😢
maybe you could paint the auger at the depth you need the digger to stop at for a referencr point.
Nice healthy rat snake
May God bless you both in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
❤
Can't help but think about days without power tools... just food for thought.
I know you went and got a level. But if you ever forget in the future or get stuck without a level, there is a level app that you can put on your phone. You would be amazed how well it works too.
Good job to both of you! How many hundreds of dollars were those fence tools? Gotta have on any farm.
You DONT need to show every single snake like it was a piece of gold. Rebeca isn’t the only one that hates them.
Have you ever done a video without a mistake? 👍👍🇺🇸
