CABIN BUILD | Building The Foundation

[@juliesmith7444]

When Spencer stopped talking because the baby smiled at him, it melted my heart. So much love in your family. I am so envious of the life your kids are living. I can see you all 20 or 30 years from now sitting around the table at Christmas and reminiscing about the time spent in the camper while you built the cabin. Such wonderful memories being made. You are right Kens, you need to film it so you can look back and remember. Best wishes from North Carolina.

[@Satya2btrue]

Oh my, you are the type of people we need more of on this planet. When you were building your first container home and you came across the snakes, people were telling you to kill them. No you moved them on knowing they had just as much right to exist as you do. Now you’re living with deer and bears and you enjoy the experience and show us them being able to live alongside you in nature. It’s always great to be reminded we live alongside the magnificence of this planet and don’t rule over it. We only kill when absolutely necessary which does happen occasionally. May we all appreciate our planet more. Thanks for sharing the beauty of your mountain get away potential home.

[@marykennedy3139]

I love that you don't kill everything also 😊

[@wannabetowasabe]

You must live in an urban area or don't have kids. Once a venomous snake enters a safety zone (frequent human traffic or place where kids play) it's bound to return if relocated. I'm retired from a large agency that managed land for recreation. If a rattlesnake came into a heavy recreational use area like a developed recreation site I killed it with a shovel. Same thing in a housing area, like ranger station housing compounds. Rattlesnakes can be left alone along backcountry trails and camp sites. They can be moved because the risk to humans is low in those areas. If moved from a heavily used area they can come back and possibly build a den and the risk keeps getting worse. A snake in areas away from concentrated human traffic usually gets out of the way as they can sense ground vibration from large animals and humans. When they enter a concentrated area they have lost their natural fear, a dangerous situation. I've been to this type of rodeo dozens of times.

[@Satya2btrue]

@wannabetowasabe actually I live on 10 acres in the Australian bush alongside the 2nd most deadly snake in the world. Eastern brown snake (Pseudonaja textilis), dangerously venomous. 2nd only to the inland taipan. Another Australian snake. Snakes are a protected species in Australia except in extreme circumstances. I also live with kangaroos who can drown you in a dam if the are badly threatened. The males front claws can rip your stomach open. But they are beautiful and brilliant mothers. Not everything dangerous has to be eliminated. If that was the case man would be the 1st to go.

[@marsharehm5599]

Well that took an interesting turn………😮

[@missybekind5022]

​@wannabetowasabe I agree & disagree with you. (I'm curious now.) Do you kill them around your property now? At their home, they have copperhead snakes & and pond. They always watch out for them because of their children. That's part of the country/mountain life living in the USA.. ✌️💜 🇺🇸

[@barbarahoover3941]

So nice the kids playing out in the dirt and not sitting around on the cell or playing videos . This is the way it should be.

[@sharondoan1447]

The children have many advantages they cannot fully know. This is their life. Not every child gets to have both parents home, live on a sizable piece of property away from town and experience daily living quite the way they do. I am so happy for them.

[@kathrynhershewe4656]

Oh my goodness how time flies when you’re having fun, can’t believe that it’s been 6 years already and am still watching your videos and loving your journey. I think it’s 6 years that you’ve been live streaming, I have been watching you since the beginning. And yes every step of the process of your home and then your beautiful family grew bigger one by one by one 😅. Now you’re five in all and so wonderful. Your children are beautiful ❤. This cabin is so lovely and going to be so much fun for your family to have a place to spend time together in. The weather looks great there and the kids looks like they have so much fun there too. Well, Best wishes from my home to yours.

This channel is simple...simply good. simply no B.S., just nice people getting on with their lives. Thankfully they're sharing the craziness.

[@geraldkoth654]

So refreshing to watch a family making their dreams come true.

[@pacman3536]

How fun to watch your kids play on the pile of dirt. Brings back so many childhood memories of simple times where a pile of dirt could entertain for hours….great video.

[@Bryan1957_]

A very touching moment when a mother tells her baby “I love you”.

[@debrawucik826]

Love hearing the kids being kids in the background as you two are doing your thing.

[@lisab889]

You guys are just so funny, normal and make me laugh! Thank you for showing how real you are and letting us in on your daily lives!

We need more videos. I love your channel. I've been watching since you started building your home and three children ago.

Good old plumb Bob . . . Points to the center of the earth! Nice and straight!

[@sherylmyers8740]

How cool...a Plumb Bob!! Wonderful tool for keeping things vertically straight. I'm not surprised you have one! ;)) I also like the Biblical usage of plumb line... A metaphor in the Bible that refers to a tool used to measure righteousness and truth, and to determine right from wrong: You guys are AWESOME!!! ❤🙏❤️

[@jodymooney255]

Loved seeing the bear and deer and the midnight talk! You both are too funny and I love it!❤

Always a dose of positive energy!

[@Hakulanni]

What an amazing Couple. "They're both beautiful and strong" in the words of my Granddaughters. I told them about Life Uncontained and they both (they're Identical Twins) love the Channel. So much in fact, they watch with their Husbands and constantly comment about how they see them as examples of an Amazing Family and how they want to be like them... We all Love this entire Family.

This is such a great, inspiring channel that shows the lives of a young family living and being raised in the great outdoors. Living with nature, exploring your surroundings in the fresh mountain air, away from the industrial world, making do with few comforts and living a lifestyle that is rich with love and adventure and learning about the fine balance between nature and man. Thank you for bringing us into a part of your lives and taking us for a wild ride with you, and showing us that you can accomplish almost anything if you put your mind to it and are prepared to get your hands a little dirty.

[@ricklumbreras2186]

You guys make all that look so easy I wish I could do that

[@ilusnforc3]

I wish I had mentioned this earlier, might’ve made this project a bit easier. I would have recommended checking out the steel helical pier foundation that the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio designed and used on the house they built on campus for the solar decathlon. They were installed using a bobcat with an auger attachment and drilled in 10 ft lengths until a specified torque was reached meaning it had hit stable bedrock. They can later be easily backed out to remove and restore the land to its original state if you ever relocate the structure. I love the design.

[@janiceshuttlewood7259]

Yes I know what a plum bob is we used one when we built the upstairs rooms in the attic in our bungalow and we had fun doing that 57 years ago and we still live here. Merry Christmas to you all from England 💕💕💕

Yep, got a plumb bob that looks just like that. What's cool about those things is they don't need batteries. The only draw back I can think of is it doesn't work as well in windy situations.

The plum Bob is talked about in Bible. My dad taught us kids about it when we built anything.

We have a nice size chest type refrigerator which cost less than 100 best I remember but we can run it three days off a 600 watt power station, or a week off a deep cycle battery. We mostly keep milk and all the other drinks in it and keep the camper fridge for food. We eat a lot of Dinty Moore beef stew, canned chili, canned meats and veggies etc. so we can go two weeks or more without shopping.

[@TheRealMichelleElynHogan]

Hey Spencer, there is a better way to handle dry bags of concrete. Get a saw, cut it in the middle and about half way down. Then lift it up at the cut line giving you two half bags. Then slide the saw in between the halves, teeth up and separate the two halves. Half a bag is much easier to handle than a whole one. If there is a table that this bag cutting can be done on, so much the better, as lang as it is stable. Hope the rest of the concrete work goes well.
