What a beautiful trip and music to fit. Watching your move as we have moved from Kansas to Oklahoma 3 hours west. New garden. New climate.
The music was perfect - it went perfectly with the scenery. All the hard work you do to edit these videos is appreciated. It is true entertainment!
It truly is!
@Tommie Jones same with me. Still fighting Covid long haul symptoms after being inpatient for 4 months. When I see that Sam and Angela have uploaded a new video, I watch right away!
Indeed !!❤
Y'all are being so smart to take everything that will save you money on your new homestead. Reuse all you can saves money at the end. I took flowers from my Grandmothers place and have moved then again to where I am now. Memories are important too.
Older jeep grand Cherokee are beasts when it comes to durability and work.
I had a '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee that had almost 300k miles on it, when I broke my back and neck, was paralyzed for a while I sold it to a friend.
It ran great because I kept the maintenance up, still runs great, my friend allows his son to drive it
We were transferred from WI to AL near Auburn and later to the Greenville SC area for a few years (rather than to lose a very good job). I get a little teary eyed going on road trips in the south. It's like my 2nd home now. Now we are back with family freezing away in NW WI. Call us crazy. But family means much.
Love, love the music on your drive to drop off the garden bits! And the scenery was delightful too!
Thanks so much!
Those drives through the Appalachians are so beautiful. Gotta love the back roads.
Loved the ride through the mountains .it was beautiful.
A good and profitable day. It's like money in the bank for all your families projects. Thanks
Love the music 🎶 very nice drive😊
Sam your a very positive person, and your family has your full support always, God Bless you and the family.
The one area you went through is near a place we go Greeneville Tn . Our in-laws live there and Jonesboro Tn. Near Where you passed through the Cherokee National forest.
You've saved your wallets a lot of money on the Tposts. And since you were already making the trip, that makes saving on the garden soil too.
Time , plus gas, determines if you really saved money. But I'm like you, I move everything I can when I move.
Wow, that is some beautiful country…it must be awe….some in the spring through fall… you are very lucky 👍
That's close to the price when I got married in 1979. We put a fence at our farm.
Great video. Those black potting bags are cool
You can have a giant pick-up-sticks game with the boys next time they’re bored. Good for you not being cavalier with your back.
Hahaha there ya go!! They watched the video on our TV tonight and at that part I paused it and said "Hey guys, see what you get to clean up next time?" They didn't seem too enthused though... I'm sure they were just being modest and are excited deep down inside. LOL
Hi Sam Angela & boys,thank you for the ride along Sam.Absolutely beautiful.That was a lot of back breaking work BUT you got it done!! YES!! Have a wonderful week & I hope you both can relax a bit with that rainy weather coming in! 👏🏻😊👍🏻
Love the sound of the birds in the background.
Only Sam could make hauling t-posts and dirt fun to watch.
Great job Sam.
Also thanks for thinking recycle or reuse. So much stuff is wasted in this world.
You just saved a small fortune. Good job!
I am so glad that we all are experiencing the move with you all.
I'm frugal too and it's served me well. I'm living comfortably at 66 because I saved and repurposed. I love what you're doing.
I love road trips. The scenery was awesome and the music was well matched. It won't be long and you guys won't be making these long trips.
Hard work! But love the new homestead. Enjoyed seeing the big, beautiful farmhouses on the drive over. The music was haunting. I’ve driven in that area before.
I would be taking a 24 hour nap after that. But boy, it has to feel good to have all of that home!
Anything you don't have to re buy is a wonderful saving, one day you will look back and be pleased you took the time.
Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
That was a hard days work! But the ride and the music was wonderful!! Thanks for sharing!!
Loved the drive thru the country roads..
Loving the music & the views
Very smart move Sam, not only will all the prices go up, they may very well become very scarce too... What you already have if you can take it and use it, do so.. you will not regret it..
Thank you for showing us the drive it’s beautiful. I liked the waterfall.
😂🤣Sam cracks me up🤣😂 I love your little family and so proud for your new place!
Good job Sam, the rain will wash the spilled dirt right into the ground do the grass good. Boy I was watching that storm move in fast glad you got it all done before the storm hit.
with what you were doing unloading the truck. Here's a suggestion with multiple parts that might help you with similar sorts of tasks in the future (unloading heavy objects especially those that you want to preserver like that dire). I grew up with many uncles in the construction industry. And while they tried to teach me various trades (most of what stuck was electrical as I work in IT now), I was a gofor for many of them or an aide in demolition. Now the other thing that you need to know is that two of my uncles bought a dilapidated rich dudes land to turn into their I guess it would have been a homestead but we didn't call it such back then. On this land was a wrecked artificial big pond/small lake that the rich dude had made into an artificial beach. My uncles broke it open to make it not a pond but then they realized that they had a resource that almost all the family could use...like hundreds of tons of sand. For free, so no more paying premium or all all when doing concrete work for sand. I would often be sent with a realtive or worked to load up a bunch of containers with sand and drop them at various sites. So being like 10, even though I was as strong as most 20 years olds by then, I was also really smart and lazy. So at first I would make a bridge/ramp from 2 by 10s or 2 by 12s to just slide the garbage barrels full of sand off the pickup trucks....then I found gold when I discovered Uncle Gs barn or whartever full of scaffolding equipment. I started using those I think they are the platforms you put between the ends of the scaffolding to stand on? as ramps.
The long and short of this is that you might want to keep a look our for either a retiring contractor looking to sell off his scaffolding or something you can find it in salvage yards or on ebay cheap. I even saw a video for a homesteading channel where he would tear down people old barns for free if he could keep the salvagage material (he was after the inner beams which were often in decent shapes, huge old pieces of things like oak) but on one he found what seemed to be the gear for some sort of roofing or siding contractor. He found enough scaffolding, ladders and other stuff that if he had to purchase it new it would have cost over 100,000 dollars. Suffice it to say he sold some but now had lots of scaffolding to use on his homestead when he needed it.
Not saying that you will luck out that way but you and your wife remind me a lot of my family back then. Always using your hard work and craftiness to save money and turn waste into resources, working together etc. I think sharing some of the things my family did might possibly give you guys some tips.
Keep up the good work
Loved watching this one. You folks inspire me. I can not wait til my foot heals up.
Stay safe!
Great to unload the dirt before it gets wet and MUCH HEAVIER!
You did a good job. I have a suggestion for Angela's Home Schooling. She could talk to the boys about the TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority brought electricity to the south during the Depression. I think you passed a dam on the road you used. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you for the beautiful drive through the mountains!
My grand parents lived in the Snowbird Mts of NC. Remember spending summers there. That whole area between NC and TN is beautiful. You all are getting there slowly. Love watching the whole process.
Thanks for this scenery route.
Not sure where you’re located exactly but wanted to tell you about a great Amish store in Bulls Gap, TN It’s Yoder’s and they have really good spices and baked goods. You should check it out if you haven’t already. We live in Seymour and it’s we’ll worth the drive up there for us. I know you will love living in East TN.
We’ve been there often! 😉
Goodness Sam, You will be so happy when Angela and yourself start your vegie garden going. When i moved into my forever home I did the same thing, now 15yrs later my vegies and garden f
has rewarded me plenty. The trip you took us was so interesting. The music was so appropriate for the travel, as you got closer to your destination it got quicker. Thankyou.
I enjoyed the drive. Looked like you pasted some interesting looking properties.
I saw the greenhouse frame up in the background and don’t recall seeing that in a video. You guys are getting a lot done! 👏👏😀
That was just a few videos back
Nice day's work, Sam!! What a pretty drive over the mountains. Enjoyed every minute of it. It looks a lot like our neighborhood :) Come Spring the scenery on the drive will be spectacular. Don't cry over the cost of T-posts where you are too much. Here they're $7.83 each. (they say it's cuz everything has to be trucked in.)
Yaouch!!!!!!
I also call these mountians home. I prefer to drive the "back roads" as often as I can. I live right off of i26 so its not often feasible but there are some spectacular views to be seen.
Indeed!!
Loved this video and the music was perfect after a day at work in a hospital. I really like watching your video good luck with your new homestead.
What a beautiful drive! Smart move to move the posts and soil. Both are so expensive! I loved the old homes along the way!
Beautiful drive, thanks for taking us along. Cheers from Queensland Australia
Wow the old houses 🏘 are Beautiful, and pretty view as I was riding alone with you back roads you see 👀 parts of the world 🌎 drive safe SAM I AM ANGELA DO NOT HAVE GREEN EGGS AND HAM READY FOR DINNER GOD BLESS
Those t-posts just saved you over $700. Move all you can. I would!!
Thanks Sam, always good to see you in action. step by step, that's how to get it done.
I liked the music as you drove through the mountains. The Tennessee, NC, and VA mountains are some of my favorites.
Sam, one of my best friends ever could have been your twin minus the beard. He would say he was not fat (he wasn't) but rather "bulky" so we named him "The Bulk". A truly great smart guy who we unfortunately lost at a far too young age
I noticed that house with wraparound porch- what a beauty!
You were quite the workhorse today Sam; better grab some icy hot!
Safe travels! Hugs to all!
Oh yes, that one is beautiful!! The other one -- the white one -- is said to be 100% haunted. It's been on the market for sale for 20 years. It will get sold, then be back up for sale very soon. In the 10 years we've been traveling back and forth to visit family in TN we've NEVER seen anyone living in there. As the story goes, there was a bad massacre in there way back and a robbery of some big valuables. I'm not one to get into ghost stories, but it's hard to know why no one has ever lived there...
@@sam-and-angela wow! Interesting story! Yeah I’ll stay with the wraparound porch. LOL 😆
You could have the boys clean the t post and then paint them so they don't keep rusting.
WOW, i enjoyed that trip so lovely.
So glad!
That's great to save on all that soil and posts. You will totally be there soon. We have old cedar stakes with barbedwire lining our property. Still standing after many years, which is unbelievable.
That is awesome!
The topography looks so much like it does here at home (Shenandoah Valley). Same mountains, same blue-grey aspect. Gotta watch out for fog, though!!
Ive been down that road on my honeymoon. 3 weeks tent camping in the national park.
You are a good man Sam, I'm never moving again. You did good work.
Compost/topsoil costs a fortune nowadays. Good save.
WOW! What a price increase!! I am looking to do some fence. I have a few t posts around my property that I need to relocate if I can get them out of the ground. I think I paid around $2.5-$3 ea. when I bought them about 2 years ago.
Growing up on the border of Virginia and North Carolina, we always called the mountains in Va the Blue Ridge Mountains and the mountains in Carolina the Smoky Mountains.
That's not far off. The entire range is the Appalachian Mountains. The Blue Ridge Mountains run from southern Pa to northern Ga and the Smokys run between the Carolinas and Tennessee.
So, like you said, you can call the ones by you any of the three and you would be correct.
Bonus Comment: Looking at how many cars I saw on that back roads route, I would choose that one probably most of the time.
You sir are a much much harder worker then I am.
👏🏼👏🏼I did the same thing ..I dug up my plants, I was in a lease purchase. The land owner changed their minds voided my contract! I LEFT NOTHING!
We all understand, we been there.. but soon you will look back at all this work.. all this back breaking time an REJOICE! STAY STRONG 💪🏽👏🏼👏🏼✌🏽
That is a lot of T posts! You saved a chunk of change! Lovely scenery.
Many thanks!
Wow - that’s a LOT of hard work, Sam !!! I hope you made it home safely 🙏. And lie down to rest your back !!! You’re such a good man ❤️
Beautiful scenery on your drive Sam
Never mind the comment about pulling forward you did during that was watching it didn't finish yet see great minds think alike
The sticker on the Tpost represents the width 1.25/length 6ft. I used to sell them and there are some that are 1.34 Width/ length 6-7ft.
Love what you guys are building for your future and that you’re saving money anyway you can.
God Bless🙏🏻
What a beautiful drive🙏💕😍
I’m digging that old truck turned trailer! Great idea!
U need to get ramp for trailer & a heavy duty hand truck(dolly) so u can move heavy things loaded or unloaded from trailer. Remember u still have a whole lot of things to move to ur property. Will SAVE your back & PREVENT any injuries.
I so much enjoy seeing the backroads, have taken this way before and it always looks so amazing, thank you for the ride along 👏👏
Gorgeous views and kive those older homes along the route.
I'm in the UK, and I totally agree with your decision to move as much as possible.
So far I've noticed an increase of around 10% on certain items I purchased for my garden last October/November. I know that because I just purchased the same fruit trees and seeds for a relatives birthday. Given the state of the world, I can only see things getting worse price-wise. Heck, good soil could be worth its weight in gold before long! A couple of years ago I had some good quality soil trucked in for a rockery bed in my garden, but I'm thinking of reusing it for some raised vegetable beds instead.
Good luck with the rest of the move.
Wow good haul great way to save money....hugs
Yes! Thank you!
You live in a part of the country I would love to visit. I live in Idaho. Where I live is considered high desert.
Looks like the roads around my parts just north of your new property.
"Character building exercise"...LOVE IT!
beautiful scenary would drive that any day over highway
Angela should make a worm farm, she would have fantastic dirt then
I'm sure your garden will thrive this year 💞
That was a lot of money saving work. Thanks for the beautiful ride. Be safe on your ride home.
We took out a closet and I told my daughter , those 2x 4xs will be spacers when we hang sheet rock . No waste the wood .
I like the reuse and repurchase. What was the musical score you played?
Can't wait to move to the mountains !
Good afternoon Sam , nice to see you again.
Love the view and the music
Great job, hopefully that storm starts after your well on your way home!
I was able to say ahead of it for most of the trip. :) It was coming from West to East.
Big savings in the TPost. Good work Sam. Dirt is ridiculously heavy.
Thanks! Not an amazing trip, but at least that part is done. :)
Recycle / Reuse during these tough times with the unstable economy. Save every penny when you can. Blessings beautiful family.
Absolutely!!! A saying I've seen online a few times that may very well ring true.. "You're about to learn why your grandmother washed her tin foil after using it".
You were so over the planter pots😂. Enjoyed the video ☺️
I sure was at the end of it!!! LOLOL
@@sam-and-angela 😂
I'm so glad that you have moved to Tennessee! I live in Chattanooga and am looking for five acres (or hopefully more) close by. Welcome to our state!
Thank you! We're looking forward to being in better state very soon! Taxes, laws, freedoms, layout, people, and on and on and on. :)
Nice
Oh I was worried about your back moving all those blue tubs I would have done the same thing you can add more dirt later!! Be safe❤️
Hard job, but worth it. Take care and be blessed.
