- Who wants to shovel gravel? We don't! Jacob's ingenuity is at its finest as he makes a backhoe attachment for getting gravel out of the trailer.

What a great idea ! Work smarter not harder, you got it Jacob.
Your little guy is learning awesome work ethics
AWESOME IDEA ! Enjoyed watching all your hard work!
Work smarter not harder !!!
What a sweet invention for moving the gravel Jacob, best regards to you and your family from Calgary Canada
Very nice.... interesting... thank you all for sharing! What a wonderful family. Inspirational. Nice vids and really enjoyable to follow you're journey :)
Jacob - we are all so impressed with your solution to dump the gravel! And it will make a great ‘rake’ for the road in wet weather. Eli - you continue to make me smile!🇨🇦
Wow. Amazing gravel work. Great tool. In my country they say 'a farmer makes a plan out of nothing, but the job gets done'. Thinking out the box. Wow
Pretty darn cool. It’s amazing what one can do with some spare pieces of material, an imagination and the guts to try something new. Pretty. Darn. Cool! Great job Jacob!
Smart thinking !! Very well done and looks like Jacob had some fun using his new welding tools.
Love your channel! You guys work so hard, even the kids! So nice to see “free range children”, playing outside, using their imagination, building forts etc. Great job parenting! Can’t wait for new episodes, after binge watching the whole series. 😊
Good morning you guys I hope you guys had your inspection so you guys can fit that the pipe in and get everything done up alright guys have a great day say hi to the animals I just be careful please we don't want nobody getting in hurting in the hole
Cool attachment Jacob! I imagine you'll use it to empty all kinds of material out of your trailer as the years go by. Nice job!
A lot of hard work getting done. Way to be resourceful both making the scraper and using rock from your property to side your shed. Love watching you guys. ❤
You are a genius!!
Ely ROCKS, that rake is a great idea 💡
Keep up the great work. Love your channel. I want to thank you on behalf of motorcyclist everywhere for covering your gravel. Those rocks hurt when they come off the trailer. God Bless you and your family.
interesting idea. You could also, if the trailer's frame is sturdy, use your backhoe to pick it up from the lead end, even if its just to a 35 degree angle, you could then easily sweep the gravel out.
Nice job with the trailer rake. Worked well. Smart! Thanks for sharing
Ingeniousness!!!
You are treasure with good ideas. Well done
Jacob, that is a great idea for raking the stone out of your trailer. Your are very resourceful and develop a good way of matching a solution to a need for a great outcome. Also, we really like the background music that makes for a great channel. Continued blessings to you folks.
Good skills-smarter not harder😀😀
Gorgeous sunset!
OMG you are the real-life MacGyver. 😁Love project manager Eli giving instructions😍 Happy that you are concluding this project. What is next.. the House????
The house can't come soon enough. In the meantime, we've got lots to get done. Thanks for your support. 🙂
Wow. Great job! You have such a vision.
Nateilie your skills at filming are tremendous.. Great job
Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks for sharing
So close to being done with this project! Keep up the great work. We love this channel! Great job making the videos. Keep everyone safe!
Have a nice work day.😊😊😊😊😉💕💕💕💕💕✨️✨️✨️
Hi friends! Beautiful green cricket !thanks! This blade is amazing! You need something like this for the snow on the solar panels.
Jacob you’re a genius!! Never know what you’ll think of next. Great job everyone, so excited, you’re almost done!!
Love that you take time for hugs 💕
Cool work, great idea. Cute kids, kitten, and beautiful sunset.
What about using a 2x6 on the blade, attaching thru with 4" grade 5 bolts, washers, and double bolts maybe...
Very cool.
as I watched, I saw you "using" electricity here and there. After awhile of living OFF GRID, one comes to become "normal" in terms of using electricity. I have to stop myself now and then, and say to myself: What I am doing, that electricity comes of the sun, via the science of magic crystals that make the power in the panels and stores that energy in the magic crystals of the battery.
Gosh, I love this TECH
Great work on using your brain and not just your back, in building the tools you need. Doing so via the magic science of solar power. I also always wanted to learn how to weld. Maybe some day
Gotta love the power of the sun! 😁
Hey MaGyvr…Hook a chain to the hitch and lift. Nice pile to pull from. Just Sayin.
Clever
great idea on the trailer sweep...what about a little incline ramp to drive it up so there is a decline when you sweep it all out??? where's logan on the septic burial?? great looking wall! Eli is awesome.
He's made good progress on the septic hole. 👍
Watching several episodes using this contraption i think it would be a better idea if you made it higher say 9 more inches otherwise a great invention keep up the great work
You could fabricate an adjustable "shoe" (like tiller runners) so that the blade couldn't dig in more than what you set it for. Might make things easier on your trailer. - I would like your photog better if it weren't quite so focussed at all times. When it's your eyeballs looking, you see more of a panorama, what's going on around. Makes for a better understanding of the situation.
👍
You will never take your septic system for granted, will you?
Unhitch the trailer use the backhoe to lift up the tongue of the trailer and watch all the gravel slide out the back of the trailer
It's an idea, but the trailer is not designed for that. Thanks. 🙂
❤😊❤😊❤
Is Darla the fuzzy black cat still around? I haven't seen her for a video or two.
Also, when you're squeegeeing the gravel out of the trailer, I'm surprised that you don't start at the end closest to the backhoe & scrape out more manageable portions.
We miss Darla 😢. We went to bring her in one night and couldn't find her. Usually when that was the case, she would be there in the morning. As far as we know she wandered off. Hopefully to a new home. That's what we hoped has happened.
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid My wife is a certified, card-carrying crazy cat chick, so we know cats. We live in a semi-rural area in SoCal, so cats going missing in our area is frequently due to a larger critter snacking on them (bobcats, coyotes, occasionally raccoons, even the occasional hawk). My wife cat-egorizes (see what I did there?) that event as "recycling". Always sad, but Nature's gonna be Nature.
Just wondering how much did this septic system cost ??????????
We are planning on doing a cost breakdown in the near future. Stay tuned. 🙂
Would it hurt the trailer if you used the backhoe to lift the front of the trailer and dump the gravel? That is a good idea to rake the gravel instead of shoveling, I wouldn't have thought of that. That is the reason you make the big bucks. lol
I thought of that at first but I think if you lifted and dumped the trailer you would destroy the sides.
Yes, it would hurt the trailer. Especially if done over and over. Thanks for supporting us. 🙂
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid I was afraid it might mess your trailer up. Of the 15 or so channels I watch, you are right at the top. Believe it or not, you and your family are even in my prayers.
@@BigJim-zh9gr Wow, that really means a lot. Thank you so much.
Can you please list your music??? Trying to figure out who's singing that 1st song- Dont Let Go
Don't Let This Go by Peter Crosby
I would have made the blade out of wood!
a 4 tooth breaker?your working too hard
It's for light duty work.
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid waa wise crack ,my unclel had me dig two leach pits for small cottage replacing in that was in wet land at a lake in Indiana got to frost line2 1/2 ‘’ and hit solid rock him scoffed at me for quitting and jumped in tried for 5minutes then apologized ,the size of your system takes in count the rocky ground family size Job 👍well done
Why wouldn't you just lift the front of the trailer with the back hoe and let the rock slide out??
The trailer wasn't designed that way and would get damaged. Thanks for asking. 🙂
Clickbait….of course I could have unloaded the rock in the time you made your device
Yes, but how many loads??? We have a long driveway to gravel as well.
WHY NOT HOOK THE BACK HOE BUCKET ON THE TUNG OF THE TRAILER AND LIFT UP SLOW LIKE A DUMP BED U NEVER KNOW
