Much Respect to you and your wife, Sir! Working full time and raising a family can be challenge enough, adding in a farm and a Differently-Abled daughter (who is just a joy to see!) is more than most folks can take on. I've worked as a Special Education teacher in a variety of settings so I have had a glimpse of the challenges that loving parents like yourselves face.
Love the videos. Glad to hear they are coming more often. The sound of the crows is amazing and the sound generally is so relaxing. Thank you and good luck with your building permission and all your exploits.
I think it’s so cool that we shared that same red northern lights. Here in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦 we also had green with that red. It was extra special as it was our Anniversary. Truly a gift from god.
Wonderful to see your new post, love the Light show of your skys, would be fun to see more of them!! The frosted tips on the plants is impressive, such fine sights to see, like the progress you are making on the barn, have seen youtubers have wish lists for things they need to build! Look forward to next months video! (can't wait to see how the two Barn walls come together, we have something like that here, and I will be having a roof put over it, don't like cleaning and removing the snow!) Thank you!
Hi Eric. I love the content of the channel. I found you when you started the barn foundation and I have gone back through all your previous videos. You and your wife will be happy with the end results of all the hard work you have both put into the farm. I look forward to following the progress of the barn rebuilding. Watching from Alberta Canada.
Hey Eirik, great work on the farm and nice to finally see your channel getting the attention it deserves! The last two videos seem to have done amazing. Really enjoying the barn build. And can’t wait to see the wood parts come together!
I like the way you use personal safety equipment. Most farmers in usa develop agriculture lung from life of working without breathing protection. Impressive work ethic.😮
Мої вітання👋🇺🇦 У вас гарна родина, ви чудовий господар, приємно спостерігати як ви піклуєтеся за своїм господарством 💪👍🤩Підписалася на ваш канал, з нетерпінням буду чекати на ваші відео,
Porque deberias haber comprado los tres productos ,arena ,grava y cemento por el mismo recio que ha pagado por el concreto envasado hubiera tenido varios metros cubicos más .
You are doing a great job my friend, and to say you are working by yourself I take my hat off to you. Keep up the good work and keep doing your great videos. Mick from Yorkshire UK.
Fantastic work on the barn 'ring beam'. Getting the concrete laid was a mammoth job mainly on your own. SO impressed with your work ethic and it's great news we'll get an update every 3 weeks. Thank you for that. The gridabygg sounds wonderful and it will make such a visual impact to see it being in situ on top of the concrete. Well done to you and the family for sharing your lives. It is much appreciated.
You are a savage!..that is a back breaking task .. Wouldn't it have been nice if a concrete pump truck appeared out of the woods and the operator said Let me give you a hand...hahaha That never happens..help never comes, and if you want it done, you need to get up and make it happen, I rais my coffee cup to you.. keep at it , the end result will be worth every back breaking day.
Hi from South Carolina, US! Love the struggle, you are the hardest working man on earth and you inspire me the way you handle your fails! I also have a daughter with a rare genetic disorder and I completely understand how it is to deal with that so I’m truly amazed that you keep such a positive outlook on life. Just that miserable weather would depress the life out of me, lol…you go guy!!!
My family came from Ostre Toten and a farm named Hveem I believe. I am glad I found your channel. When they migrated to North Dakota they put up a really awesome old barn that they lost in a storm but it had these giant stone walls like yours. So good to see
@@Norwegianfarmlife No, I figure there was a reason they left! LOL! But seriously, I have not made the trip but others in my family have. I still hold to traditions passed down but was over joyed to see your barn walls that explained why they built those great barn walls in Walum, North Dakota that I think are still standing but the barn is long gone. That wall was always a curiosity for me. Now I can see what they were thinking or remembering when they first put it up.
Jeg kom over kanalen deres da dere la ut videoen om service på traktoren, og bestemte meg for å se alle videoene her. Det var en behagelig "oppgave" å ta på seg, og den er nå fullført. 🙂Artig å se at det går framover med både gården og kanalen her - gleder meg til å se låven når den er gjenoppbygd!
Hello, I look at your work, it can be seen that you can help yourself and you are a skilled man, only the hood of the tractor is past its best years, and for me it would be useful to have lights there for the winter, but as it is usually dark and if by chance the car gets stuck in the snow, it will probably be necessary to pull them out, I know a little about it, I live on a farm deep in the forest, it's 17 km to the first village :D it has its advantages, but I also sometimes regret that it's so far from civilization, greetings Jiří from the Czech Republic, I'm rooting for your whole family, not every woman can accept it, this life is full of work.
I guess it is pretty hard to estimate how much volume of concrete you need to fill the forms, with tha uneven rocks at the base. Doing some calculations and buying twice as much would not have been that much of a problem. You can always use concrete on other projects and repairs on the farm later on. And if you order one large delivery, you get a much better price and don't have to drive to the store so many times. To me, it seems like that ready made concrete mix is pretty expensive, you could probably have saved quite some money by putting more rocks into the concrete form from the beginning, and not just use a few rocks to save the last part of the wall? Looking forward to see how the wooden part of the barn will look, hope everything goes well with the building application and the next steps of this project.
Before I got my own chickens, I thought the eggs only came in white or brown but that is not the case. We have blue, green, pink, brown, white and more color on our eggs. 😊 Have you been in Norway to seek out your roots?
@ I haven’t. One of my other relatives did. The Flaten farm is still owned by cousins. Our family has a book translated from Norwegian about our ancestors beginning with Ove Boe Wagenstein Steile which I may have spelled wrong beginning in 1066 coming from Denmark to Norway. 🇳🇴
Hello, you’re great for taking on such a difficult project, besides the fact that there’s already a lot to do!!!) About the corners, you can seal them with a thick mortar, it’s not in a hurry, you know! It's nice to watch your activities, keep up the good work 👍
When you do the floor bug cement and order a couple loads of wash crushed rock. 4 shovels rock 1 shovel cement You will save time and money. 1 cost for a bag of cement will make 6 bags of concrete
Hi it's been a lot of hard work. I've been looking at meteor programmes they say we have a lot more soler fliers so this winter ☃️ might be a bit different and maybe more colourful. hopefully your all ok out there looking forward to seeing you next time 🕊️
What an epic pour, I can't believe you ran short, but I can believe how you must've felt after that. Wow, thank goodness you had used the concrete before that happened.🫣❤️
ya first time i seen it red as well , seen green and purple before but not red, seen them dance as well "les marinette" , the moon was red as well that week, had never seen it like that either, but it was cool to see,🥸🤓,Canada
Sånt skjer.. Neste gang, ha i ekstra singel eller løsleca og småstein i miksen. Du kunne spart mange sekker på å bruke singel i miksen. Sollestein fra sandtak er billig å spe på med.
I live in the UK in the county of Essex in a seaside town of Clacton on sea. I am interested in your timber frame barn build . Happy Christmas and New year to you and your family
Fine greier, jeg synes at grindabygg er noe av det flotteste som finnes. Jeg har vært inne i utallige vestlandske florer, og de har vært bygget slik, nesten uansett hvordan de så ut utenfra. Bra tiltak, i vestnorsk tradisjon!
i would have to do something to that gate . but i know when other jobs seam more important. is the one wall of the barn part of the natural hillside ? very cool I'm no expert but your concrete forms looked good. just needed a little more bracing maybe. I'm building a workshop by myself and one old backhoe and the wife and 7 cats . we have 2 of those cat doors front and back . Thanks for sharing this
Tipper du er fornøyd med at klatringen i gardintrapp med betongbøtter er over nå. 🥵 blir flott med grindbygg når den tid kommer. Ellers ser vi frem til hyppigere oppdateringer.👍🏻👍🏻 får håpe ikke "Jakob" har laget for store problemer for dere🤞
Technically, I would not make the wall that rests against the stone wall so narrow with concrete, but I would add everything along with the concrete in a thin line to the stone wall.
Deberia de haber agregado piedra o grava a esa mezcla ,pero el concreto envasado es caro ,y deberia haber comprado arena ,cemento y grava ,varios metro cubicos y te hubiera ahorrado dinero .
I am glad that your continuing to post videos. You should use # hash tags before the thumbnails and the descriptions. Example is # 100 year old farm. # Norwegian sheep,# reworking old barn, # Fiat tracktors. The people who are looking for something they will find your videos. They will find your site and then they will find your site.
NEJ NEJ NEJ 😢 inte kopparpasta i kontakt med aluminiumfälgar NEJ NEJ😢 det bildas galvaniska ström och färgen släpper aluminium rostar.😢 använd silverfett 🎉
No, no, NO! Don't use an impact wrench, then the wheel 'cross' to tighten up the nuts! Not with alloy rims! At worst, use torque rods, at best use a proper Torque wrench. A torque wrench costs a bit of money, but a busted rim or stripped lug bolt costs money, too. There's no such thing as 'too much' cement. Put wheels on that Chicken Tractor. Just fasten them to a lever so that you can swing them down any time you want to move it.
Hei så koselig att dere gror og vokser, jeg følger en i fra Estonia som har mye det samme som dere på en helt annen måte sjølsakt, sjekk han ut og få litt inspirasjon om du gidder hehehe th-cam.com/video/-yiqX28rn7E/w-d-xo.html Varm hilsen fra Alversund....Obs! han snakker engelsk som DU
That is definitely great news, more videos and you are getting swamped with comments already, at least you can't hear all of us lol. 🫣 I can't wait for when the timber frame time comes, it's absolutely stunning. Don't worry about the corners that you couldn't do, it all adds character. Take care and please remember to relax as well. Greetings from Cape Town.❤️
Love watching your farm slowly come back to life.
the second you stripped them bolts and then decided to let a mechanic fix after u made it way harder for him you became a real farmer congratz

Excellent work!
Found your channel recently and I love it. Im watching all your videos keep up the good work 👏
What a spectacular display, I've never had the privilege of seeing it. Hopefully your children were still awake. Absolutely stunning.👍
Love the videos. Glad to hear they are coming more often. The sound of the crows is amazing and the sound generally is so relaxing. Thank you and good luck with your building permission and all your exploits.
Jeg elsker Norge for sin natur og for de fantastiske, smarte, hardtarbeidende Nordmennene som bærer hjemlandet i hjertet. Hilsen Fra Estland
So glad your channel is growing Eric. Very well deserved. The Northern Lights were stunning! Watching every video from Australia.
Glad you like them!😊
Keep up the good work Eirik!
Love your videos, glad you are posting more often.
Well done, its not easy work especially in the bad weather! Keep at it!
I think it’s so cool that we shared that same red northern lights. Here in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada 🇨🇦 we also had green with that red. It was extra special as it was our Anniversary. Truly a gift from god.

Really enjoying the barn build. And can’t wait to see the wood parts come together!
Looking forward to seeing the barn 😁
Me to an thank you for your concern regarding the rain we just had😊. More on that in our next video😊👍
You should be very proud of what you can do and what you have done. Great job, look forward to watching more!!

i like your farm very much. the nature there is amazing.
Its Saturday, the stores are closed, I am out of concrete and exhausted. Man I was exhausted just watching you work. WOW>
Porque deberias haber comprado los tres productos ,arena ,grava y cemento por el mismo recio que ha pagado por el concreto envasado hubiera tenido varios metros cubicos más .
Love all your videos watching from Northern Ireland😊
I should make a barnhouse of it 😊
Takk for "ny" video. Så den ikke før i dag. Gleder meg til å se låven når den tid kommer.
You are doing a great job my friend, and to say you are working by yourself I take my hat off to you. Keep up the good work and keep doing your great videos. Mick from Yorkshire UK.

The northern lights were beautiful! I’ve never seen pink eggs. My grandfather came from Norway (Vang) to America.

Gracias. Me alegra que hayas disfrutado el vídeo y que el texto te haya ayudado.👍😊
Tie wire in a figure 8 around form boards can be twisted to make forms tight so they don’t move when filling, much less bracing needed
What an epic pour, I can't believe you ran short, but I can believe how you must've felt after that. Wow, thank goodness you had used the concrete before that happened.🫣❤️

Muito bom...espero que de tudo certo no futuro da construção...
You might consider putting the moveable chicken coop on sleds to help move it and to give it firmer stability.
Put some levered/removable wheels on the chicken tractor. Saves your back and the tractor.
Красава!
I live in the UK in the county of Essex in a seaside town of Clacton on sea. I am interested in your timber frame barn build . Happy Christmas and New year to you and your family
only 9 days late lol, you barn construction in English is called... post and beam... concrete looks good, glad you got it in before frost.
Nice

You could have used some of the foam to fill in the corner...so easy.
I like your program
Content. Programs happens on television.
Sorry
Nöjd med betongblandaren från Jula?
I see green northern light on a regular basis. And I've seen purple and even pink, but never have i seen red
i would have to do something to that gate . but i know when other jobs seam more important. is the one wall of the barn part of the natural hillside ? very cool I'm no expert but your concrete forms looked good. just needed a little more bracing maybe. I'm building a workshop by myself and one old backhoe and the wife and 7 cats . we have 2 of those cat doors front and back . Thanks for sharing this
If I had to guess I'd say that was a 3 layer bank barn layer one would of been cattle levels 2 grain and level 3 hay
Hi Eric,it's a shame about your chicken cage being damaged.
It would have been far easier if you slid it across the grass while it was on its roof.
👍👍👍👍👍

Why is the concrete beam half the width near the cliff?
Technically, I would not make the wall that rests against the stone wall so narrow with concrete, but I would add everything along with the concrete in a thin line to the stone wall.
those are some thick walls and stone looks very hard. no idea why people would be worried
Hvor stor grunnflate blir det på bygget? Flotte murer!
Får vel over 500 000 visninger til neste video her
What kind of sheep do you have? Never seen sheep like these before.
They are called Norwegian short tail or in Norwegian “Gammelnorsk Spelsau”. This bread go all the way back to the Vikings. 😊

Give the man a break, he’s doing an exceptionally good job under harsh conditions.
@@paul4124 I just don't want to see him lose a wheel while out driving. THAT can be harsh on Norwegian winter roads.
