Your children won’t remember the gifts you buy them, but they will always remember helping mummy and daddy build their home.
I know it's really hard to appreciate the scenery when your entire focus is on the fight but trust me, 15 years from now your kids won't be telling stories about broken generators and missed rentals (well they might since it's on video :)) but they will talk about the time they went to the tree and the bees were so loud they thought it was a drone, and remember that summer when we spent building this place with our own two hands. Love you guys and hope you take a minute to breath, say a prayer or two, and enjoy what you have.
Outstanding insight into what makes a favorable childhood memory. We should all return and read your comment often.
wao amazing ❤❤❤
I agree! I remember the special things we did when we were kids and funny things that happened! It’s even more special now that my parents are gone and I have a granddaughter.
Sumac is beautiful in the fall you get the brightest orange leaves. I worked with a physician who turned bowls from the wood from sumac and it has the most beautiful wood grain.
Hey
There is no more heartwarming gift to a parent than their children saying "I wanna help". Always take the time to let them lend a hand. 💞
My heart sank when I saw that bucket fall off. Spencer handled it like a pro, "I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen". LOL
Ya, mine too. He's got such a great attitude. They both do really. It's wonderful to see.
Watching Spencer and the kids work is so heartwarming. Great job, Spencer. That is a special man that can put getting the job done on the backburner for spending quality time with his kids.
I agree with everything you said. Spencer is amazing with the kids. Patiently allowing them to grow, real TLC. Brings out a tear of pure joy.
This Man is my " SPIRIT ANIMAL"! Spencer is the epitome of the American Spirit. Any excuse is followed by a solution of how it was or will get done. Definitely a Great example for his children. Let's not forget Super Mom, when they started years ago it was just them and now 2kids, 1 more dog,😂and 1 home and 1 cabin on Mountain property and constructing a road. 😊 I love it!
Right!? The dude is building a road by himself on PBJs, rainwater, and endless love.
@@OldJoeBlows That's all you need. The Epitome of "....A Good Woman by your side."
Plum, peach and apple trees on your land! What a wonderful food supply!
Those days with Dad will never ever be forgotten.
Watching Cam and Spencer work together is awesome. My grandson is 2.5 years old and when he visits he wants to be with Pappaw especially if I go outside to work or get in my truck or on the 'tractor' (riding lawn mower). It slows down the progress of the day but it's worth every lost minute.
It’s neat to see the children helping Dad. Building memories. ❤
Hello handsome
Have been watching you guys for years and saw how you managed to pull through the absolute most horrific things that would have sent me running back to civilization. I very much admire you guys' sense of "git 'er done" and tenaciousness. You and the kids go through stuff that would send me back to bed weeping! Bless your youth and strength. I may be too old to have these kinds of adventures, but I enjoy watching you very much. And seeing the kids grow up warms my heart.❤😊
I suggest tenacity in place of tenaciousness. Just trying to be helpful not critical or unkind. 😀😀💕
Good evening 🤗 what a hard job putting in the culverts in the rain 🌧️ Beau & Cam are really loving being there & helping Mom & Dad 😉 take care and be safe 🙏🇺🇲🥰
Hello 👋, how are you doing?
Good for you, Mackenzie. You're keeping your family uplifted ❤
So cute to see Cam and Dad on the tractor together!
I like how when he has a big physical load of things to do, she gives him the support and encouragement of a good woman. Men can always go further physically with the support and love of a good lady and she's a great example. They work great together and support each other perfectly!
The coolest thing about your videos is the family aspect of what you're doing and the involvement of the kiddos. That makes this all so real and heartwarming. Thanks for sharing so much of your life with all of us.
I love how you just figure out how to build anything even culverts!! Your children are marvelous. This new land is not only beautiful but " fruitful"as well. Just remember the hard times make you stronger. You can conquer all your challenges. It is lovely that you 2 can remain playful inspite of all. I can imagine all the groomed hiking trails you will create in the future. Your children will be living their best childhood ever!! And yes you will put that boy and girl to work because they will have skills because you are already taking time to teach them. Best wishes as you go forward.
Can we all just admit how awesome the cinematography is on this show?
'Admit'? It's not that folks are refusing to say it. I think the better word would be 'agree'. or perhaps 'acknowledge'. I'm guessing that most folks simply don't pay specific attention to that....they just know they like the videos. They will comment on being glad there is a lot of family stuff included now, but they don't understand it's a lot more than just throwing in some more footage of the kids.
Kenz's Production values, which includes cinematography, direction, & editing (among others) have really grown over the years as she's been doing this. She has been willing to try new things (and Spenser has gone along with them) to see if they work and if she likes them. If she thinks they work, she expands on them, if not...next.... Her ability to match just the right music with specific scenes is amazing. That's one of those things that most don't consciously don't hone in on, but it's part of the whole experience I feel the most important aspect of all of them, is her ability for Story Telling. That's a talent that most people really don't have. Kenz does. it's because she has this ability, she uses everything else to weave together the picture of a beautiful & heartwarming family. Her's . (Kenz I hope you read this.😉)
I admire your hard working spirit Spencer. Despite all the setbacks on you brand new raw land, I'm sure you will end up creating a paradise for you and your family. You deserve it!!
The best part despite the challenges was seeing the kids work with their parents. Love you guys
You are what a true power couple should be. Your grit, positivity, wit, love & respect for each other, and excellent communication are just a few of your great qualities.
Jack of all trades and a master of none but you always smash it out of the park, love your videos guys 😊
This guy truly lives the life that every real hard working man wishes he could have, from the excitement of interacting with nature and building something with your own two hands, to the great appreciation of an attractive, supportive woman, just a good life, man 🤩
There was a home sight on the back of my property from the 1830's. We found so many fruit trees and flowers. There was even part of a chimney. We found old blue and dark brown bottles. I hope you have fun finding all of the treasures there too❤
How precious seeing Cam on his Daddy's lap excavating! That's a whole lot of mud you're dealing with, I feel for you all❤
Camme is so darn cute, working with his dad!
I am from Argentina, a country that has been in crisis for decades, I have a wife and children and I am doing everything possible to leave this country and go to a better place for me and my family.
I have 3 jobs and my dream since I met you is to have a house like yours, the effort and care you put into your house is incredible, I really admire you and I hope one day to have a home that is half as beautiful as it is your home.
Can you imagine building a road by hand? Sore arms and back!! My past great-grands and great-great-grands built their mountain home in Appalachia region. Good luck, Spencer. Great filming and editing, Kenz. The children are so helpful and willing to work. They will remember these days. God Bless your family and all your effort
Boy Spencer is a machine … it’s amazing how hard he works
Hang in there guys...your getting the culverts almost done. Hope you can finish what you need done, without too much more bad weather. Much respect for all the Hard Work you have both done !
Take Care...following your journey.
Hello
Nothing more therapeutic than Mother Nature. And it’s free.
You are simply amazing and inspiring. I wish I was 30 years younger and live the life you have.
Keep up the hard work it will be worth it in the end and you're two angels will reap the benefits for ever.❤😊
Little princesses in tutus make the best helpers. ❤
So frustrating, I'm sure, but y'all are doing great. Love how smart and inquisitive your kids are!! So cute!!!
This channel to me is better than a great Netflix series
Your son will remember this for life!
Seeing Spencer and Cam on the excavator... My dad was a heavy equipment operator (mostly a dozer). I wish we could have had that kind of relationship :/
You are not building a driveway, you building a highway😂
Literally
Blowing bubbles is fun. I'm 65 and I still break out the bubble bottle once in a while. Good times!
You should get one of those harvester poles so you can easily get the larger apples higher up. So fun that you are discovering new things on the property! What a fun adventure.
Every post/episode,I’m totally in awe at how much you got done and your continued effort to get your projects done. God bless you both and your adorable children. ❤❤
I think an excavator needs to be on your Xmas list. Your building a future from the foundations up because of this your future is going to be so much better. What a sensible approach.
Yes, that's what I was thinking also. With especially how much they have to do. Sure would come in handy. They are easy to sell once or if they ever get done with it. Also if they get one make sure it has a thumb attachment on the bucket. Makes it easier picking up brush or rocks.
With rock hammer attachment
Or two ☺☺
Much love from Connecticut 💜
This couple is amazing and I hope there life in this new location is as great as they are. Side note: Apple trees "naturally" grow in variety, meaning many types on one tree. So if you plant a green apple seed, it will give you all kinds of apples... A tree that is giving all one type of apple has been grafted and couldn't be considered natural.... This is the case with many varieties of fruit tree. It's likely someone planted the trees long ago and they've been surviving with no additional care... BUT it's fantastic that they have such a variety, because having to plant and care for fruit trees is a difficult process. Most trees take years to get to good fruiting, so this will be wonderful for this great family.
The power of positive thinking. You produce what you tell the world. Start saying that you are the luckiest people in the world. Your life will turn around.
Hello 👋, how are you?
I admire the determination and grit you put into all of your projects, and Spencer building this road shows amazing perseverance. Still being able to share a smile and a laugh when things get tough shows you have a strong bond as a couple - keep going 🤗🇦🇺
The moore stone you put around your pipes the easier to keep the inlets clean
Also helps prevent erosion on the end of the culvert. The erosion can cause your road to collapse, especially in a really hard sustained rain event.
That's awesome about the fruit trees. Settlers must of lived there. Place rocks in the ditches where the culverts are at make a river bed so dirt doesn't plug up the culverts. Beautiful property.
I love your children. One with a rainbow tutu and the little boy who rides the tractor just like his daddy hero. So sweet.
I can tell that you guys have been having a hard time just watching the last few videos and this one. I could tell there were tears welled up in your eyes. Anything worth having is worth the trouble you may have from time to time. Keep your focus and things will get better. You are the most resourceful couple and I'm convinced you can do this! Oh, those apples may not be suoer sweet good for eating raw but cook them w/sugar, make some biscuit dough and fry up some half moon or pocket 🍏 pies! Yummy! Kids love 'em and they are easy to eat on the run or while working. 😊 hugs and love to you all! Miss Emily
@@Cat_Lover365 Your answer sounds aggressive to me.
The person was polite in asking you, first if it was ok , since you were making a comment to Spencer and his wife.
Give your fruit trees sunlight and a fairly severe pruning and you'll likely get bigger fruit😉
Feels like they are in the Texas Garden of Eden. All of God's plants, animals, and insects gathered together. Just hope they don't have to build an arc for the rain. If so, I'm headed their way. 😊
I think your (Nurturing) sweet words of encouragement makes everything better... ❤❤❤
Hello 👋, how are you doing?
Guys, you're both so inspiring. The strength that it takes to keep going when things seem to go south every single time, and to laugh and protect your children at the same time, truly admiring. Keep being positive🫶🏼
What you are doing is what youth was meant for! Go for it!
It’s always so nice to see you guys happy you worked so hard to make it all happening. It feels my heart this pleasure to see you succeed .
Praying things go better for both of you.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love the way you guys incorporate music to your videos. Many other channels play their music way too loud, in turn, I rush for my up/ down volume button. You guys make it a nice streaming experience, ty 🙏🏾 oh btw: I had total knee replacement 8/30/23, Beau asking Daddy to help shovel😊 ❤️😊
Without trials we don’t recognize the need for God!
Keep an eye on the drain end of the pipes - the drainage can cut into the slope and make a big cut/hole. If that starts, you need to extend the pipe further down the slope.
That bond is incredible father son
I'm old enough to have an aide. Got the notice YOU POSTED. Stop the presses,don't talk to me "Life Uncontained" is on line. Yeah, I get "that look". You and your adventures are worth the mocking. Thanks for filling my time with Sunshine!
Just quick piece of advice. Make sure when installing plastic culverts, always put your "bell ends" up hill. I noticed some installed down hill
Why is that?
What are they?
Bell ends, I'd imagine one end has a wider opening for water flow than the other end.
@@ianmcleod8898 It's more like male and female ends of the pipe when you need more than one piece of pipe and join them together. The bell end would be the female end.
@@boogieman3165 must not be a British term
I swear you guys have chosen the most beautiful spot!! I live in Oregon and it so looks like that here except we have a lot of coniferous trees too, but it’s just as green, rainy and lovely there. Cam is so adorable working with Daddy! Kenz, bubbles DO make everything better! Lol 😂 I really hope your luck turns soon, and week 4 of the excavator is enough to finish. Much love & good wishes! ♥️ Jessica
8/31/23 - Guys , You have done a great job so far! Can't wait to see the finished product. Spenser will get it done, i'm sure of that. Good Luck!
Wonderful job!! And the spring thaw might surprise you, so I think you are being VERY SMART with more culverts! Yeah apples and more, plus the darling daughter who wants to help Dad, even in her pretty pink dress! Enjoy it all! 😊
Man, I feel for you guys. Hopefully it will clear up and get better.❤
Great job Spencer and Kens! You guys are champ parents and getting things done. Love you and your channel!
You both must have a reserve somewhere within you to do all you have done and into the future. Amazing and incredible. Dreams worth it all for yourselves and your two precious children. You boggle the mind with the determination of giants . There is nothing you can not do when you work together. Love you all.
Cam will have such amazing memories of this time in his life.😊
Hey guys, my family love to watch you from here in the UK. You will succeed, We have watched you build a beautiful home with containers and are delighted with your new project. You have the most beautiful and positive wife on youtube without a doubt and your kids seem to be at home all of the time. I envy what you have & even though monetarily I have success, to see your kids so much a part of your lifestyle that will shape their future is beyond what I can achieve. God less your family & all of hard work, you are the Man, as you say in your country.
Wow!! It’s amazing all the things that your husband has done and not be experienced!!😮 give him a dynamic back rub!!!!!!!
Together you’ve got this!!! We all have faith in you!!! Love your family!!! ❤️😊
Diggin' the dirt...in a tutu! Perfect!
17:00. Your daughter picked a white flower. Could have been queen Ann's lace(wild carrot) , but a common look alike is poison hemlock, found together alot of times. Poison hemlock you don't touch without gloves.
Make sure to put some erosion protection under the culvert pipe outlet side. Rubber, weed cloth, rocks, something…
💯% Yes, came on here to say it and found your comment.
Hello handsome
I think the Lord is trying to teach patience and that HE is in control. Enjoy the adventure, and know we love you!
Beau is the cutest!! "Are those drones, Mama" got me laughing so hard!!
not trying to tell you what to do but a little advice always put the bell end of your pipe towards the direction of the water flow. From someone that has put in a million or two and has worked with drainage all his life,
I think you have an old overgrown orchard from a past settler. Granny Smiths are hybrids.
You two are such hard workers! I look forward to each video!
Hello 👋, how are you?
Green Apples are generally used for Cooking, especially used in APPLE PIES with Cinnamon to Kick up the Apple flavor, whipped cream adds to the Flavor. 🤠🥧🍏
oh nooo poor spencer lol. The world is sure testing you. Keep pushing great things ahead. I'm sure many times with the first container you felt similar feelings, but look at how great everything turned out!!! Nothing but respect for all your hard work, and it WILL pay off in the end!
They look to be orchard varieties, it doesn't;t take long for non-fruiting trees to take up residence. We see it a lot in the UK and Ireland, where old properties are taken over by nature but the fruit trees are so hardy they carry on even though crowded. I think it's perhaps because the soil is so fertile.
the apple tree has ceader blight you can tell by the yellow spots on the leaves and the small size of frute you need to spray it with spectracide immunox multi- purpose fungicid it took me 3 years to figer that out spray in the spring
What today's kids don't know is the joy of work and accomplishment. One grandfather owned a farm and the other owned a cattle ranch. I was raised to be a competent human being. In case it matters I raised my children the same way. They are extremely successful people. Nothing better then teaching about work
I can just see your daughter building her own house by the time she is 20... ❤😊
Hello 👋, how are you?
It’s an old homestead so they may have built the house there on purpose or have planted some and let nature take over. We have walnuts and pecans and we planted pear trees. I wished we would’ve planted other fruit trees 30 years ago with the pears.
Spencer you and Cam on the excavator is a great father and son bonding moment. Your love and example will instill him values and character. Great video even with all the problems which are not new to you and you overcame them you will overcome the ones that present themselves to you now. Have a great week.
your children are so learning life skills whilst also having fun with their dad..you guys are doing really well, even with the setbacks..my (proverbial) hat is off to you both..you also make me realise HOW much work is involved with having a mountain property..nice place to visit, but I wouldn't like to live there full time..
Spencer you are a incredible bloke no matter what breaks you never break yourself you are atop man. A man that never gives up, no matter what gets thrown in your face, you are a man of steel mate.. GOD'S GIFT OF SOLDIERS BLESS YOU MATE..
I remember when Cam was scared of the tractor, now you can’t keep him away. ❤
God bless you! You are such a very hard-working family I cannot believe what all you guys are up against in that beautiful setting! Be safe and I hope that it dries out soon so you can finish what you've Begun on the road Spencer you never give up both of you and you are such a great inspiration for all of us😊
It is really important for the bees to have late summer flowers to work.This time of year is known as the nectar dearth-no more flowers to work on.They have to go into their winter stores before it is cold yet.When you guys get you place established,it is a good idea to grow late blooming flowers and plants to keep the bees healthy.Maybe even become beekeepers? My husband was a hobby beekeeper for many years,and it was fun.Your whole family will love the process!We love you channel,and always look forward to it!
Sure

I have a Grandson that is 16. He can run almost any heavy equipment because, when he was 1 yr old he was always on the backhoe or other tractors with his Pawpaw. The backhoe was his favorite. He learned to work the levers from being on the backhoe. At 3 1/2 yrs old I made a video of him digging a huge hole, with Pawpaw of course. But he did the work by his self. He is too cute struggling to push the levers. This is a good time for Spencer to start teaching Cam.
the road is coming along nicely y'all
Looks great guys. Love those helpers you have spencer
Those apples are the best! They are great for drying and canning and make the best pies. Grew up picking those at my grandparents’ home.
Hello 👋, how are you doing?
I did some research on the property that my parents build their home on, and it had been farmland going way back before the Civil War in the United States! Before that, of course, it was Indian territory! But lots of fruit trees, lots of nut trees, pecans, walnuts, etc. and then my dad, of course was raised on a farm and so was my mom so they planted every type of fruit that would grow in the region And every other type of knot that will grow in the region and we also had grapes. My dad made wine and he had a full garden. We raised our own asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes. He kept the apples and potatoes in crates filled with sand in the basement we were the only house with a basement, but of course, being raised on a farm, and both my parents how to store food through the winner! It would be interesting because now a lot of this information is available online for you to research the ownership of that property, and what was there prior to your moving there! Lots of times, you can find documents that you can copy, and you could frame them and have them in your home of the previous history of that land!
I hate for our history, especially of the peoples that populated the territory to be lost! I found out that my great grandfather was a twin, and that he and his brother both received the highest honors from the confederacy during the Civil War! They fought in every major battle in Virginia! The sadness was that my great grandfather’s😂 twin was left, injured and ill after the Civil War so he never married. They had both been very young men during the war so he never married, and he never had children so there was no one to really remember him I mean, I didn’t know about it, so I contacted the sons of the confederacy organization here in Virginia and was able to get his military record and also images of him and I posted them on ancestry.com for future generations to be able to know his history, and even where he was buried a picture of the gravesite! I received a lot of comments from distant relatives all over the country thanking me for doing that, but they didn’t know about him either! Some other family members that I found pictures and pictures of the gravesite I posted and had people contacting me thanking me because they had heard a lot about their family member, but they didn’t know their history and they didn’t know what they look like! It’s great fun doing that after my parents died I spent my time digging into the research on both sides of the family my dad was from Slovakia area at that time it was called Czechoslovakia that the church is kept great. Records and I was able to trace his family way back to find out that they had actually come to that region from Greece where I believe during the 1400s they escape Greece win the Muslims were invading Greece and murdering the population! I now understand today why Slovakia will not allow any Muslim into their country not a single one. They are maintaining their Christian heritage, and they are only allowing Christians to enter the country as new citizens! When you dig into history, you find out a lot! I know you’re both busy, but if you do have time, it would be fine for you to track the history of the location that you have purchased. I’m sure there are records available for you to find that information! Anyway, U2 are the hardest working people in the world I think.
Hello 👋, how are you doing?
With coyotes around, always be alert to where your domestic dogs are. When lived in CO. the local coyotes figured out they can use a female coyote in heat to lure male dogs away. Once far enough away, the pack would attack and kill them to eat, even very large dogs too. Several people lost their pets and still do.
😮
Facts!
😳
Yes, I've had coyotes attack dogs and seen them lure dogs so the pack could attack them.
Our dogs take care of all the coyotes…. It all depends on the dog and how you train it… most country dogs can take care of coyotes and coyotes don’t usually run in packs they are solitary animals
Smekám klobouk dolů! Skvělá práce jste fantastická rodina ok.👍👏
Now , THATS what a hard working man looks like !
👍❤️👍❤️
Looks like a beautiful area and also big enough to create a camping ground.
