Sam , on the side by the woods ,that little bit of dirt won't stop anything, suggest you rent a mini excavator again dig your self a ditch along that entire side all the way back to the woods behind the future carport structure, then fill with gravel. Creating a dry well of sorts
Your property is taking shape, building a great foundation. I spent a great deal of time watching Angela rocking while watching you. Then I saw your son pop in and was kinda hoping he was bringing her a beverage. Can't wait for the next video. 💖🎶
Oh gosh Sam you did a fabulous job spreading that crusher run gravel. I am so impressed at how great it looks and so excited to see the build of that carport, that will be such a fun video to watch. I know that I need some gravel on the side of my property and once I get my new fence installed I will get some pretty looking gravel. Thanks again Sam and Angela for this wonderful video. I wish you all a beautiful and blessed day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂🥰🤗👋👋🙏👍💕💜
I am so excited to see the progress you are making on your new homestead! I cant even imagine how exciting it must be for you all! Keep the videos coming. GOD bless
Sorry the last 2videos bored me to death but the next videos will be great to watch as usual these have been interesting as far as logistically and the why you did them the way you did them I’m a 71 year old woman who never able to nail a nail without banging my fingers lol just remember I respect your skill in all you do
It looks really good! Now I can visualize the carport, whereas before it looked unorganized, to me anyway. I should have known better. After all, it's a Sam and Angela project!
You did a great job spreading the gravel. I proud that y'all are getting something that you really need. You both have accomplished so much since your move. The boy's are learning so much and old enough to help you getting the work done. There's so many kid's that aren't learning any kinds of trades and the parents aren't helping them to be self sufficient. You and Angela are great parents.😊
Looking great and so excited for you with the tractor being a mainstay and much needed on any piece of large property. Not who sure loves it more you or Angela......LOL Actually it's fun for both and learning the tricks.....which it looks like you are doing well. You kids have done tons since you moved........wow......thinking back and I know you've enjoyed doing all of it as it is your OWN. Best of luck with the car port.......it will be a nice place to have and you can work rain or shine on whatever you wish. Blessings
That turned out great Sam. It will help keep implements and vehicles clean. And I bet the installers will love not working in the dirt. One thought, a friend of mine and I added a lean to on the back of one of his building for his tractor and implements. I went back a couple months later and he built an implement shelf system at back and he just drives in and hooks up. It turned out pretty cool
Sam, one last thing you might consider for your pad is renting a compactor for a couple of hours. It makes for a really durable base with crusher run gravel. Hammers it down to almost concrete consistency
It looks good. Have you thought about adding a narrow V ditch on the higher side (length)? It can go out to the beginning of the tree line and pull the water away from the pilings. I was also thinking block, possibly with weep holes, next to the pilings with the V ditch on the other side to give you a better chance of keeping the water and mud out. I had an inverted driveway that drained into my three car garage that the previous owner forgot to mention. Having the driveway regraded and a drain system installed across the front of the garage doors sure did make a difference. It had a pipe system that carried the water away from the garage door area, passed the side of the garage, and down the slope out to a large catch basin in the backyard. It's was definitely worth the time and money. One flood from heavy rain got us to move quickly and resolve the issue.
57 limestone gravel is $900 for 20T here! You've probably already heard this, but a box blade would be easier to use than that straight blade but TBH, I use my FEL for most grading like that. More control and it's in front of me, rather than behind me. Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!
It looks awesome possum!!!! Great job as usual!!! Ya'know, for that slope behind your new carport, you could cut a run-off ditch to direct the water [rain] away from your structure. I'm sure you've already considered that. Again, great job!!! Looking forward to seeing the building project move forward! 😊
Great work, Sam! Just wondering (not suggesting, because I know that's none of my business!)... I've seen a couple of homesteader TH-camrs who bought a Harbor Freight compactor and ran it across their gravel to make sure it was good and solid for the work ahead. For sure, Al Lumnah (Lumnah Acres channel) has used his compactor a TON and it really helped out. You really have the hang of using that tractor to spread and level out your gravel base. Press on!
Years ago, we had a driveway similar. We purchased driveway sealer in large metal containers, spread it out let it set up and what a difference it made. God bless 🙏
It looks great! If you are interested you could dry pack concrete floor with powdered quickcrete and mist the top to finish it after creeting it level. Just a thought.
If you are worried about water getting into your building I saw plastic root barrier panels online yesterday. You could put them on your high side where you have extra dirt. They come in different heights. Not too $$$.
Nice job distributing the pile. I just paid nearly $1000.00 for the same size load. Prior to this recent purchase I was paying almost the exact same amount you just paid for your load. Price in our area has skyrocketed in the last 24 months.
Sam, You did a good job with the blade considering the blade is not really made to do that. Next time, try coming up with a “Land Plane”. It is made specifically for leveling gravel and dirt. It works great with little effort. It is costly but you may be able to rent one at a local rental dealer.

I love the way your videos will pop up just anytime without any Rhyme or Reason... it really makes for a pleasant surprise
😅🎉😊
We go with the flow, but no clue who's controlling it! :D
It’s amazing to see how far you have come from when you first purchased the property! It’s turning into a beautiful homestead.
Thank you so much!
You guys are SO down to earth and real. It's a treat to watch your videos of everyday life and building your homestead. Thanks for bringing us along!
Glad you like them!
Now that looks like a pretty good foundation.
Anxious to see the next phase.
Thanks Sam for always explaining the process.
Thanks for watching!
Love the life y'all are creating on your homestead! The Lord is blessing your family!
Thank you so much!

She enjoys watching work being done! She was my supervisor too, to make sure I didn't hit anything or miss any spots. :)

Thanks so much! 😊
Looks like you are all ready, the suspense is killing me....can't wait to see the building you chose. All the best and stay safe.
Ah yes. Tractors are wonderful aren't they. We have had gravel delivered and are using our tractor to spread it out. Looks real good Sam!
I love watching you work, Sam !! It’s always a magical moment ❤
Can’t wait to see the next step !!!!! 😊
I love watching you and Angela work together on projects. You get the work done!!! I enjoy your commentary as it is REAL!! ❤. Keep the videos coming!👍
Thank you so much!
I’m so happy for your family! You have truly grown since your move! Really proud for you!
That looks good. You're making such good progress on your property.
Thank you!

It looks amazing. Excellent progress Sam. I am impressed. Can't wait to see the rest. God bless from South Texas
Thanks so much!
Das Bild mit dem Kinderspielzeug war ein schöner ,kleiner Spass .
Bin gespannt, ob der Kiesberg reicht für die abgestecke Fläche.

You have nerves of steel Sam. I would have been terrified to drive so close to the piers. Great job and it looks great too!
I had to stay focused on the scrape blade for sure! It sticks out wider than the tractor tires on both sides. :)
Sam, great job and thanks for allowing all of us to travel along on this journey. Wondering whom has the better tractor skills though! Smiles.....
That turned out great Sam. It will help keep implements and vehicles clean. And I bet the installers will love not working in the dirt.

Goooooooood evening, Sam & Angela & boys!
Good job on the gravel. If you have a drainage issue, might want to look into installing a "French Drain".
Another huge accomplishment for the homestead. In looking forward to seeing the company build this thing. Thanks
Us too!

Hi Sam Angela & boys,your homestead is really looking great.Your hard work has paid off for sure! 💕

Love your videos and enjoy watching. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and working on the building
If you've got hills of dirt or gravel and you've got kids they are going to claim it every time. Love it!
Looks great, I'm so happy for your progress!
Thank you so much!
You guys are getting good use of that tractor 👍🏻❤️🙏🏼
At about 11:00, I couldn’t tell if those cicadas were at your house or mine! Looking great, Sam and Angela!
It looks so good. Looking forward to the build. God Bless your family. ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Years ago, we had a driveway similar. We purchased driveway sealer in large metal containers, spread it out let it set up and what a difference it made. God bless 🙏
Love that tractor looks like it's very helpful in different projects. take care
It sure is!!
The gravel made a big difference,great video!👍🏻
Thart 4K video quality rocks! Good video.
Looks like good quality gravel
It looks great! If you are interested you could dry pack concrete floor with powdered quickcrete and mist the top to finish it after creeting it level. Just a thought.
smoothing out the lot and in fast forward motion the sound was like a giant dragonfly buzzing you as you did your work.
I see the boys have already claimed the hill lol
Sam you have great tracker skills. You did a really great job on leveling all that out. Looking forward to see the carport be built 😊
Thanks so much!
Nice video. Your property is really coming together. Thank you for sharing your journey. Blessings.
Looking forward to the build. I think it looks great.
That Massey really is a nice tool. Gotta get me one of them.
Gotta love the tractor. Looking good guys
Great job Sam! It looks great-thanks to your hard work!
Thank you too!
My sister in law works for McMaster carr. It’s such a great company!
It looks good Sam, everything is going well.😊
Nice job spreading that gravel.
Awesome job! Can’t wait to see the next step in the project. Thanks for sharing
Good afternoon Sam , nice to see you .
EXCELLENT!! almost don't need to spread it out...
You're doing a great job sam looking good.
Thanks 👍
Great job Sam 💖💖👍👍💖💖
LOOKS AMAZING FESE Up Sam we know YOU WERE trying it out with the toys before using the Tractor 😂 God Bless
I plead the 5th! :D
Fantastic work on the gravel.
That is really spiffy! Can’t wait to see the building! ❤
Nice job Sam. Coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing the building go up, not as much as you are though. LOL. Keep up the good work.
Looks good!
If you are worried about water getting into your building I saw plastic root barrier panels online yesterday. You could put them on your high side where you have extra dirt. They come in different heights. Not too $$$.
Great job Sam, looks great Sir! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you kindly
Hi Sam, Angela and the boys!😊 Nice job Sam! Everything's looking really good! Excited to see the build!😊😊
Thanks so much! 😊
It's shaping up to great home.
Your farm is looking so good.
Can’t wait to see the next episode, lookin good guys!👍💞
Fast work, but HEY! Where’s the bloopers?
You guys are getting so much accomplished. Good for you.
Take care
They'll be in the videos when we have them. :) Lately it's been more cut and dry work work and less time to cut up I guess.
@@sam-and-angela lol…knew I could count on you.
Sam can’t wait. One thing that I thought you’d do is tamper it down. Anyway looking good. Love the channel…….
No real need to compact it further than what's already happening with the machines driving on it. Crusher run compacts down very hard on its own.
looking good Sam❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ok, great video, but the high speed was really my favorite today, great work.
I agree -- it was the best way to see it sculpt and work out better. :)
Looks Beautiful 😊😊😊
Great job fella, following you for a long time. ❤
Looks really sharp.
Looks good. Everything is looking great. You folks are awesome. Stay safe and God Bless.
Thanks, you too!
Looks good. God bless.
Nice job distributing the pile. I just paid nearly $1000.00 for the same size load. Prior to this recent purchase I was paying almost the exact same amount you just paid for your load. Price in our area has skyrocketed in the last 24 months.
you could also add a bit of that rock you bought as well.
Sam you did a great job..hugs
That was fast😮
Looks good Sam, it also looked like fun :)
Sam that looks great!!!!!
Looking really good
Great job Sam, it looks great. 👍👍🧡
Sam, You did a good job with the blade considering the blade is not really made to do that. Next time, try coming up with a “Land Plane”. It is made specifically for leveling gravel and dirt. It works great with little effort. It is costly but you may be able to rent one at a local rental dealer.
You should put down a barrier on the ground before putting down the gravel, that way the grass won't grow up thru the gravel.
Looks great.
Wonderful job🎉🎉😊
How’s the garden doing? Take care and be blessed.😊
Always glad to see you guys. ❤❤❤
Nice job, looks great
Great job mate. 😊
Thanks 😁
You are da man.
💡put your camera on time lapse and visit while they are working 🙃 time lapse are great content too.
I so love how you guys are making this an amazing homestead! So, how's the garden?
Looks good 👍
