Let me be the ten thousandth person to tell you (from experience): we feel you! Building a house is @#% HARD! You have a huge community of us out here cheering you on---so proud of the way you handle yourselves through the difficulties. Thank you for sharing your lives with us, you are indeed an inspiration.
My husband and I changed out a ceiling fan yesterday…simple, right? 😏 No project is ever simple for us! 🤣 Too much time later, we got it done, and us two “old” people felt pretty accomplished! You all are doing great and I love seeing all that triple-and-quadruple checking! Better to do it now, than dig it up later! As Dory says…”Just keep swimming!” The progress you have made is so awesome!! ❤
bonjour la famille. aie aie clods of dirt everywhere. i'm glad the water test went well despite the irration and frustration. leaks happen! on a positive note, Lady Ashley blessed us with a bit of Orange Sky. merci beaucoup chère madame. à demain !!
I got my shirt! I ordered the dark blue one with the plain white design, and as someone who hates tags and scratchy material, this shirt has NO tag, and is SO SOFT AND COMFY!! 🥰❤️ Also, I hated those pipe balloons as well when I worked in construction, that same thing happened to us 4 times on one house!! 😩 I’m so glad that it worked out for you and yay for filling in!!! 🙌🏻😊❤️
This is another day of celebration🎉 so excited to see the plumbing is leak free. Twice tested and approved. 🙃😝Hooray the trenches are getting covered!!! Pure Satisfaction. 🤩 Every set back is conqured. You all Rock! I am so overjoyed. I love the drone shots. So cool to see the changes to the foundation as you dig and level and add gravel layer. I have watched everyday but I forget to comment. I love the glimpses of the dinosaur. Btw, do you also have a large snake costume or I'm just seeing dino? Sending all of you my love, support and admiration. Keep it Shiny! ✨
I feel your pain. We are in this midst of building a homestead in the Pacific Northwest and all the dumb little set backs that happen along the way can be disheartening. I watch your channel because you don't hide those things from your viewers. Keep on trucking along my friends.
All great things take effort, time, patience and love….you guys are doing amazingly well. It’s moving along as it should….the setbacks are frustrating to be sure, but your patience to make absolutely sure everything is working is inspiring. I don’t think many (any?) of us have ever seen a home built with such love and dedication as we’ve witnessed thru your videos. You set such great examples of how life should be lived and loved. Thank you for sharing and teaching, one day at a time ❤️
Remember the OOOOld addage? Rome was not built in a day? Also any thing worthwhile is done well and sometime it takes time to do things well. Hang in there it all gets done in time.
❤ there is always a bright side. Temperatures are going down..... Finally🎉 that also means less daylight to work in. I love how everyone works together ❤❤
Well that's good news, that there was no leaks. It would have been better if you left it full until the trench was buried. Have a good day and count your blessings amen.
Just a thought, but it may be possible to drive your truck along the trenches on the mounds and break up some of those clods of clay. Hose them down the night before and maybe throw a piece of plywood over the piles to distribute the weight and crush more of the chunks. Or toss the chunks to the outside of the trench/mounds and then drive over them if your truck can't climb up onto the piles. I know you'll get 'er done either way, so best of luck!
Just know you all are so loved. God bless you and keep you encouraged. Your family brings me so much joy! Wishing you total joy and know Jesus loves you.
Praying for the heavens to open up rich blessings of water strength and peace 🕊️ it's super magical to see your progress step by step...it's exhausting but worth every beed of sweat..🎉 👏👏
I am sorry there were set backs, but as always you all rallied and keep pushing. This is gonna be a long push, but in the end you will all be so proud and happy in your beautiful home with your amazing family. All I can do is cheer you on, I wish I could do more. You got this!! 🥳
Construction advice from a Journeyman. Bed your lines in with loose soil at least 6 in over pipe then lay your Lahr chunks over top. Industry standard. Last of loose soil over that.
You do have brains! Just think back to everything you have built too date…..pretty darn impressive to me. Calm down take a deep breath and think that there are better days ahead.
I’m exhausted just watching you guys, can’t imagine how your all feeling. Will those big chunks leave air pockets or does wetting everything down resolve all the spacing? Every day is one step closer to sleeping in your own room or cooking in the new kitchen!
congrats 👏 I loved Ashley, that it worked out. I was beginning to embrace your pain until, at the end, I saw some completed work 😢. Those mutant bugs you seem to find are amazingly healthy looking and well nourished yikes !! I'm looking forward to tomorrows revelations with ❤️ and appreciation of what you have already achieved. Cheers!
You're doing great. I have no experience of self builds or any kind of building work but to me you look like you're making good progress. You all have great attitudes and support each other, nothing beats that x x Just think, this day is over and start again tomorrow with a clean slate. We're all behind you, supporting you from far and wide x x
@@johntherat339 this made me laugh because my husband saw a stunning boat as we were driving by he says he wants one, and not missing a beat I said put it on the list for next month. 15 years later still no boat but we're living the dream anyway.
Yay no leaks! You used all your water? What, it deflated? Was any of the Patriot's football equipment guys there overnight? You have to fill it again? One step forward and two steps backward. So frustrating. Phallic fail! Well, it held water again so I'm glad you got to put dirt back on it! I love my shirt! Wow, putting the chunks back in is a problem! I like Jett's sweatshirt! That is a ton of dirt to move so I understand that you didn't get it all back in one day! Did I miss the dino? Thanks for this video Longnecker family!
Morning or good afternoon you guys hope you guys have a wonderful day keep up the good work and keep up everybody's happy get ready get do all that stuff you God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Things that will make your work lighter and safer; comfortable working boots and thick cotton socks, comfortable gloves, good back support, a piece of thick cotton cloth under your cap long enough to cover the back of your head and neck from the sun (even better: a Double Weaved Hard Shell Shade Hat Large Fit Wide Brim Straw Hat) long-sleeve cotton shirt, cover your eyes, face mask to avoid breathing dust, take frequent hydrating breaks with a home-made electrolyte, start as early as possible to avoid the high sun when it's hotter and stop working when the sun is hotter, don't carry or lift more than 20 pounds if you can split the load in smaller portions, use some means of leverage when lifting, pulling, pushing, when possible, play some nice, invigorating/stimulating music while working.
You did good. From where I'm watching there's huge progess being made. May I encourage you to not be so hard on yourselves in the looking at how much you've done. We can see the difference you're making. The water part was better to be sure than sorry . Annoying you had to do it twice but you never know what disaster you've averted by doing the job again. Onwards and Upwards soldiers of the Cross. May blessings be in abundance this week as the Creator sees your needs. 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞👌👍✌️👏🇺🇸
eventually you're going to have to put in cisterns that can store months worth of water to get your through to the next rainy season and a bit further when the season comes late
I'm worried sick about your skins. Please, please, please moisturize, wear oodles of sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats!! Yes, BOTH of you!! ❤ Granny from South Africa
I would just like to say thank you for sharing your wonderful videos with everyone and your lovely family and I can’t wait to see what your house looks like when it’s finished
When we put in new water line for the water tank with pvc we forgot to put in any kind of wire in the ground so we could fine the water line with a prove. We had to go by my primitive sketch with measurements when we built a barn years later & hope we didn't hit the water line.
You should have Bryson from #MyLittleHomestead come drill a waterwell for you. I can understand the happyness they felt when they got down to clear beatiful endless water. Bryson did a great job restoring that old drill truck. Cant wait to see your house when finished. Gonna be great
There's an explanation why they don't drill their own well. But rain catchment in the southwest is sure a gamble, season by season. Having more capacity in your cisterns helps to make up for some of the shortage when you do get a generous rainfall.
I use a water delivery service for my property. Minimum amount is 2000 gallons so there needs to be a tank large enough to hold it. The convenience is worth the cost. It saves me about six trips to a water source. Probably something similar in your area.
With regard to all you guys will be doing over the next couple of years to build your house, I hope this week will have been the hardest one you have to get through.
I am currently sitting here giggling to myself cos when you said “I’m out here this morning, because….look” for a split second I thought you were pointing at your nipples not the t-shirt and I was all like 😮 then I realised you were showing off the T-shirt and now I’m all 😂😂😂
🌵Building a home that will be free of leaks 💦 with water where you want it will be like making paradise 🏝️ in the 🏜️ desert. Be encouraged. Breath in. Breath out. Repeat. Joy.
I'm going to guess that you checked the pipes in the morning and then put the pump on and left it until you were ready to start filming. The pump probably let the air out slowly while you were unaware.
Thoughtful, sequential, procedurally correct, careful and deliberate, checking and rechecking to be certain pay awesome dividends. Trips to the Watershare remind you how careful and water efficient you are. Everyday you are getting where you are going. We all love you guys so very much. Frustrations lead to relief.
You should check with my little home stead about digging a well and finding under ground water springs you never know you could have one not to far down and you just mite need a shallow well pump to get to it you should check on that for securaty and peice of mind to know if you could just even dig the well you would know were to dig if you had to.❤

One step closer. I always tell my kids when they feel overwhelmed or discouraged: don't look at what you still need to do. Look at how far you've come
Don't get discouraged. I know you're working so hard that you can't see how fast you're getting things done this time.
Oh, boy! ❤❤Rather be safe than sorry!! Who said "A job well done is a job done well"? You all are the role model for that phrase🙌🙌 See ya tomorrow👋👋
Wow. Tough day. I admire how you all still keep it together, and keep working. You are an inspiration!
throw the boulders clods in the cement mixer it should help break up most of the mass

Your pipes are a work of art
Ah, a step closer to your dream each day. Loving your family teamwork. All of you are an inspiration, keep it up.
"Patience is a virtue...." A mother's advice to kids during the 50s!
I’m the same way Ashley. Cant we find a way to reuse the water? It’s been a dry year for us too

"Stuff" happens! Have faith, you are doing good!
Awesome NO LEAKS!!!!!
Upside-down rock rakes work great for pushing dirt back into holes/trenches.
I feel your pain. We are in this midst of building a homestead in the Pacific Northwest and all the dumb little set backs that happen along the way can be disheartening. I watch your channel because you don't hide those things from your viewers. Keep on trucking along my friends.
after all that work I also would have double checked Great job
You have great weather for all this work, you got this…😘💖 Great job!
Making certain the basics are done right is always tedious and irritating. Hang in there. Y'all are doing great.

One day at a time. Slow and steady wins the race. Wishing for you the best. Thank you for sharing.🐕
Would love to see your dinosaur run around again sometimes, I thought it was cute and funy.
We saw it yesterday. 😅
A big step forward. Great work!
Totally feel your frustration. Hang in there.
Still rooting for y’all, here in Georgia!
Every day is a step closer to starting your bags.Great job you have all worked so hard ..Love n Light 🥰
Remember the OOOOld addage? Rome was not built in a day? Also any thing worthwhile is done well and sometime it takes time to do things well. Hang in there it all gets done in time.
I specifically want to give a shout out to the insect photographer.... Those litttle filler shots are so amazingly taken...
Also a lot done today.....
You all are doing amazing hard work. The prep work is important and can be frustrating. Now things will flow for you. ❤❤
All of this hard work will payoff in the end… it is just hard for y’all when the end seems so far in the distance. You guys are amazing!!!❤
Well it never hurts to double check your work!
❤ there is always a bright side.
Temperatures are going down..... Finally🎉 that also means less daylight to work in.
I love how everyone works together ❤❤
What a monumental labor of love! It will all pay off in the long run, I'm sure.🤗❤👍
That looked intense... but great progress!!
I think I am going to have to re-evaluate whats important to buy and whats not. It sure can add up.
Wahoo, the drain trenches are getting filled.
My WORD what a lot of work! Thanks for sharing the journey. Hopefully, you'll find a motorized mini earth mover to help...
Well that's good news, that there was no leaks. It would have been better if you left it full until the trench was buried. Have a good day and count your blessings amen.

YOU 2 will look back at this build & say how Glad YOU did this when YOU were Younger!
You guys need a trailer so you can bring 2 or 3 totes at a time! Keep on going, y'all got this.
Yep. We need a lot of things…
@@TinyShinyHome put it on the list is what I always say to my wife.

incredibly satisfying to see all that dirt go in the trenches...wow..well done guys
Your buddy Bryson at my little homestead has a well drilling rig.
❤TY for the VIDEO 😊 PEACE

It's like eating an elephant, one spoonful (shovelful) at a time. You're doing great
You guys are doing a great job! When you get this latest project done you can have Bryson come over and find primary water.😊
That's a bummer!
Morning or good afternoon you guys hope you guys have a wonderful day keep up the good work and keep up everybody's happy get ready get do all that stuff you God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know it is discouraging BUT there is light at the end of the tunnel. Take a day for yourself. There is always tomorrow.
Fantastic it's time for a tractor, looks great!
It's definitely time to drive the stick, as in broomstick! Ha, ha!
My broom needs new batteries!

Keep on keeping on folks! I've ordered a tank top .. $50.48.. with shipping... hope it shows I love you all!🍻
Thanks for the information,i got educated positively.
Your making progress no matter how small you think that is. You can Do It 😂😂😂😂!
I watch a lot of TH-cam videos and I love y’all’s content and I have to say y’all have the best background music as well❤️

Nothing reliable in our area. Thus we do it ourselves on our own schedule.
Sending good vibes and a much needed 3 day break ?
God Bless you all!!! You are doing a superb job.😊🎉❤
Does your neighbor with the tractor have a tiller attachment for it? It would bust up the big dirt glogs. Just a suggestion.
With regard to all you guys will be doing over the next couple of years to build your house, I hope this week will have been the hardest one you have to get through.
Try wetting down the big chunks and let them sit for a spell then see if you can bust them up with the tamper or something. It could work. ✌❤😀
No leaks, YAY!!
With all that 2 pack glue there is no chance of leaks
i've had a few bike pumps that just slow leak when you leave them connected like that
Me too! Maybe that's why it deflated?
Could be, yeah
That mini excavator would come in handy round about now :)

Now you’re covering the plumbing how do you know where to lay the bags?
They are not covering up the bag trenches. Just the trenches where the pipes are.
I don’t understand what happened to all the water the first time….where did it go?
Into the septic.
I'm going to guess that you checked the pipes in the morning and then put the pump on and left it until you were ready to start filming. The pump probably let the air out slowly while you were unaware.

You need polarized sunglasses. Your eyes are light-colored which make you more likely to have early cataracts. Check with your eye doctor.

Semi-caliche chunks of dirt!😊
