Change Of Plans | Adding On To The Deck Framing

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Your deck is looking awesome. I have been watching your channel since you started, and I have to say that Greg and Katie have done a wonderful job with this entire homestead. The two of you have done wonders with the knowledge you had when you started and have become master builders along the way. Looking forward to your next video.

[@chriswarren274]

Would that hay be good for a compost pile? Things are looking good around the house. Always makes you feel good when you tidy up things❤

[@Susan-s4x4w]

You both do a fantastic job. Should turn all the hay and clipping and wood off cuts and any bark into compost

[@warrenbartlett2223]

I was wondering where this part of the video on the deck thanks for posting it

[@dropshot1967]

92 K subs already, getting closer to 100 K

[@MsSuperKeksi]

At the chicken coop the dried plants in the hanging red buckets. Forgot to water :)

[@teresarumley8694]

It looking really nice ❤️❤️

[@richardwhite4277]

In future if pouring dirt around Sono tubes you can always put a bucket, lid or tub on top tube and just dump front end tractor bucket right on top the tube

[@flowerstone]

Cut the bracket and fold it around the post. 😊

[@johnkirby6547]

Very well done Greg, Perfectly felling the tree, bringing it to the sawmill to make the posts.. This will add much more storage underneath and like you said adding the cladding along the outside will keep anything from getting under the deck... can't wait to see the next episode ❤

[@jamesphilbrook5567]

Place it on the outside edge.

[@loucinci3922]

Good adjustment. Looks great.

[@mlutke4067]

So impressed with Greg’s go with the flow, make it work attitude! Billy would have been dropping dirty words everywhere😂😂😂😂 Cladding will look so nice. Safety too! 😎

[@Susan-s4x4w]

Love your deck it going to look so nice when the house and decks are finished

[@dorothyallen3614]

The place is looking great y’all ❤

[@richardwhite4277]

to be optimal you should probably vibrate the Sono tubes and add rebar or even form wire mesh into cylinder and place in tubes to prevent any cracking

[@jenniferrobinson4277]

If the deck is cantilevered it doesn't need so much footing, just enough to stabilise the post.

[@dcba43210a]

Good job

[@alfredmcdonald5495]

That was the missing pier.

[@barryedwards1336]

Greg don't worry, as My Dad and he was a joiner used to say on his cockups, a blind man on a galloping horse won't see it.

[@wilmaschramm2451]

oh no Greg its is 92.200😊

[@jdram58]

There can never be too many tennis balls for a Blue Healer dog I suggest getting a ball chuckeer or ull throw ur arm out.

[@liammcgothigan2094]

Hello guys

[@realamerican6101]

What cool music but I do not like feet on dashboards. But love video too because of the cool stars in the cast. Ane you sure you are not from Holly Wood.

[@obg6467]

Poor girl has been in the woods for so long she's turned into a mushroom head 😂😂😂

[@MurrayDecker]

Burning that pine straw ---- OH NO!!!!!!! That's perfect bedding for your barn. Next spring, it would have become perfect compost for a garden, mixed with all the animal manures and soaking up all the nitrogen rich urine. All carbon is good carbon, particularly when you've used it as a giant diaper in a barn.

[@Castrucksandtractors]

Love watching ya'll making your homestead a home . Greg buddy you impress me with your building skills and how stout you are. Yall keep up the good work

[@tex24]

20:26 How cute is Juniper helping carrying the logs up hill. What a great apprentice.

[@1944chevytruck]

Nice looking power sorce!.... LOOKING GOOD U2!

[@angeldawnmorningstar]

That yoshitti power bank thingy looks very similar to the blueshitti one ... jus say'n 😏 😇❤

[@glendajune9140]

The deck looks great,& more securely reinforced. Y’all definitely do quality work. Whatever it may be lol. Thanks for showing the process.💯👍🏾😀💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@firedog4689]

Can I offer some advise, weld two chain hooks to the side your bucket, then when you buy yourself, you ban load the big ones with out help,

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Wow you too I thought you had enough of smoke this summer look at that smoke you smoking us out in BC here on Vancouver Island I can see it oh I'm choking on it🤣🤣🤣

[@wadeprior5203]

Hey good afternoon you guys hope you guys are having a wonderful day keep up the good work

[@phuongvo3051]

I’m so enjoying watching your channel , ❤ all the work your guys did , hard working and working hard couple ❤❤

[@patcarroll3337]

How hard is it to live like that?

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Wow Greg you remind me so much of Daryl Jago always working hard working very smart was a roofer as his own company And he is a redhead like you

[@allenpelletier6759]

not made in USA??? he no she no?? lol not American made.

[@evelyndole4618]

Music is a little loud, but love love love content!!!

[@keluargaganfais1027]

It's amazing that you made a nice and very beautiful house, my sister, my brother's garden, a large and very beautiful field ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@texgem]

Congratulations guys for getting new sponsors. You are going to have a lot of storage area when you skirt the bottom of your deck I hope you take advantage of that.

[@waynehall8131]

Nice job with the loader, that was a tight spot on a slope

[@Leezymay]

What your doing is awesome. Just want to see more of ur extended family, goats, chickens, dogs etc. These are my most favorite videos not a construction gal. 😊

[@MRBenchwork]

As much as you use that tractor for moving logs and lumber, it might be a good idea to invest in a solid bottom grapple bucket. This would give you the same functionality as the bucket you have now but also give you the ability to grab onto logs and lumber making moving the stuff around a bit safer and faster. The best part is they seem to be pretty affordable at around $1,500.

[@alk7142]

Just pad the deck out the couple inches so your post is were you need it. Stairs will still fit fine. You guys are so lucky to have access to such quality trees to mill your lumber. Nice job as always.

[@teresaedwards3659]

Thanks for the video!

[@jameswulzen590]

the mill looks great off the ground and your doing a great job the both of you. Aloha

[@oomwat6101]

New title sequence and music ... I like it :D

[@ld5714]

Katie, I always get a kick out of Juniper being right there wanting you to throw the ball. You guys have turned the corner on Fall now so I hope your deck cover arrives soon so you can get it down. Greg, the deck looks great, both of you have done a good job on it. I liked the common scene of Juniper following Greg on the tractor up the hill. That scene, along with the goats who often accompany you two, kind of epitomizes life on your homestead. Have a great week and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@MrDbowschnider]

Are you two married ?

[@dantejaiudijr-gk9st]

Greg and Katie, You guys are the ultimate off-grid couple. You work as a team and you keep things rolling in a positive direction. Keep up the great work. Your videos are terrific! 🧐🌲👍

[@AIPman1]

Composting?

[@jeremyparrott3713]

I still remember when you were putting in the footings for the house. Amazing watching this journey, and learning what not to do from your journey. Thank you

[@davidsmathers5621]

I hope when you side your house you paint or stain it the same color as the goat house

[@davidsmathers5621]

Iam glad that's your house and not mine that's Y I always hated contractor's you can't trust there work I have seen alot of shitty jobs over the years

[@Jimbo65203]

Juniper aping Gregg by carrying a stick up the hill while following him moving the log, was hilarious. Dogs love to mimic their master when possible. Good job on all your work, guys.

[@gridfreedomquest8613]

you are right. my dog just lays around and farts all day. that’s my boy.

[@tracykaeding3920]

Greg, you are incredibly clever and I love how you have guided Katie with so much encouragement and patience and love. Katie is a little pocket rocket willing to try anything .You guys are an amazing pair not afraid to show your mistakes which is so important to future homesteaders. Other channels only show perfection which would be daunting. Your😮 problem solving skills are pretty special and your genuine love for your animals is beautiful to watch. you guys are the real deal. You arnt out to impress anyone, you are both true to yourselves. Love from Australia

[@BoopedBetty]

Gday...You don't have a clue...who in their right minds burns any hay...it's a brilliant mulch or bedding or grow medium...etc etc...and wasting good wood in the fire...I'm a bit shocked

[@sgrvtl7183]

WOW❗You have some really tall trees on your property‼NICE Fell....and nice/handy tractor❗🌲

[@kencross25]

Splendid and informative video you too. Missed ya on Sunday. Was that a black bear and cub behind you when you were working on putting concrete in the Sono tubes? It felt like Fall around today, High 89 degrees with low tonight 70 degrees, LOL. Sent you a text message about forklifts. I can't believe my eyes that ya would be burning viable pallet wood. Pallet wood was my first wood source starting my woodworking adventure. I can't tell how much money I collected from pallet wood crafts.

[@russellwatters5891]

I'd just cut the bracket and tapcon another in place, you should be able to get a bracket underneath the post. Anyways, Juniper had the other one doing tricks by tugging on that stick, funny stuff...lol 😂 I'm wondering Greg, why you haven't welded up some hooks yet or something to hang on the bucket to assist with the logs precariously hanging on...😅 Love ya'll ❤

[@johnkoehler5380]

I'll say it again, YOU NEED A SET OF FORKS FOR THE FRONT OF YOUR TRACTOR. Better to be safe then sorry.

[@321java]

Greg! Acknowledged, your Peavey skills are awesome. But, seems to put you "at risk" from time to time. Have you thought about adding a Tooth bar to your loader?

[@jesusdelgado3936]

Been watching your videos, just recently began viewing them. I've watched the one where you clean all your left over scrap wood. The one where you finish the barn, actually two of them. I've watched the deck build, I've watched the one where you install your tile and the fridge didn't fit and now I'm watching this one, and the one where you are placing trim on your deck. I want to commend you on what a hard worker u are Kattie. It's no wonder you're tired at times.. But in all these videos you are the only one cleaning up stuff and now he wants you to disappointed! Lol A little help from him might help you catch up on your rest. Lol 😊 I'm sure he works lol but you, you are magnificent. Keep it up and try not to get too depressed, I get like that too when I'm too tired. Its weird, I work so hard but I feel like I didn't do enough and feel like I let myself down. So I know how u feel.. Hang in there! You're one awesome woman. 👌and those eyes! ❤ lol😊

[@SherriP]

Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness… God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death. God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin. He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕

[@yancyhebert9937]

Great video. Can't wait for fall in Louisiana Still 90 degrees Fahrenheit here Thanks for sharing

[@glenb3682]

Been watching a bunch of your episodes this evening. Lovely show. I can't believe you haven't welded 3 chain hooks onto the top of your tractor bucket yet. For everyday log hoisting and lifting and reverse towing/skidding stuff about the homestead there is little that can beat her. Good 15' chain with a hook at each end, find and mark your middle link with ribbon or the like and you have a balanced lifting rig if it's on the middle hook. Best of luck

[@wimschoenmakers5463]

Don't get it. Living in a house without decent outside waterproof walls, but needing a deck, that probably is used once in a while? Why ??

[@hughroney6342]

You HEAT with Wood!! There is no such thing as waste wood or scrap wood, it all makes heat. Early fall or spring the small stuff is perfect

[@bowbailey69]

It would not be difficult, nor expensive, to add weld-on style chain hooks to the top and bottom of both sides of the tractor bucket to secure logs. They would be out of the way for digging and would make carrying logs much safer and more secure.

[@tonybrouder]

Hi, I have only just started to watch your video's and I think that the two of you are doing a great job. I have a problem with Greg though when he is using the chainsaw, I have never used one myself but I think not wearing the correct safety gear is a big mistake. The way you use it you are only waiting for a accident to happen and If god forbid you hit your leg when you are off grid you could very easily die before you got to a hospital. I'm sorry that is just my opinion but good luck with all you two are doing.

[@samanthawinslett202]

Slowly but surely, its getting done. Hey can you take me on a tour down your semi newly cleared road. The one you got the tracker stuck on. I haven't seen it for awhile....thanks for sharing

[@MarkDurbin]

You'll never see the bracket, isn't it under your proposed stairs, probably come in useful when you build them

[@CarlJoiner-k8p]

Katie do you plan on wearing your short short’s in future videos. Please don’t take this the wrong way. I think you are a beautiful woman with a great body. I just enjoy see beautiful women with great bodies, no disrespect or trying to put you down in any way.

[@andreasweiss4438]

I wish you only the best. Take good care of you. Greetings from Germany. Andy

[@Chris-yo4ks]

You really should have a couple of chain hooks welded to the top of the bucket on your tractor. Would only take a few minutes to get welded on....and would be so much easier, and FAR safer to haul logs

[@rosaolbera8768]

Hello my adorable couple i always enjoy watching your video you both work so hard and your please is looking amazing stay strong and safe and blessed outthere

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Hell yeah, just bend it around!! If it was me, that's what I would do! Keep up the hard work 💪

[@davidpayne2880]

Gregg, look at the bright side, and just be glad that you are not a medical Doctor, they bury their mistakes while carpenters can cover their mistakes. No one will know about it until you are gone.

[@stephaniebarber3595]

Love you guys! And the crazy post…. No big deal! Looks great!

[@mikemarriam]

Standing in front of that bucket loading logs has got to be one of the sketchiest things I've seen on KZbin. A set of bolt on forks would add immensely to your margin of safety.

[@smokeyyunick2675]

With as much chain sawing going on “eyes and ears” and some good leathers for pants. A bit more planning and (bigger hammer) might help every now and then eh? Charge on!

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Looking good guys! You're gonna love that deck when its all done! As always great job Katie on using the sawmill !

[@michaelcarron3418]

I would cut the bottom of the post bracket that is sticking out then with a 3lb hammer wack the piece around the wood post then put a few nails to finnish it. Do double check the horizontal for alinement. Use a metal blade sawzall for the cutting.

[@robinparkes988]

Why not extend the decking (where the stairs will hang from) the few inches needed, to bring it out far enough to drop the post perpendicular to the post support. Just an idea

[@thetinker3924]

I've heard you say in alot of your videos I should have done this along time ago and I think you will say that if you get a set of forks. I'm not trying to be a nag I just think it would really benefit you.

Ich würde es sehr begrüssen, wenn ihr bei der Arbeit mit der Kettensäge mindesten eine Schnittschutzhose tragen würdet. Verletzungen mit der Kettensäge sind brutal. Und wenn einer von euch langfristig ausfällt, könnte euer Traum schnell zerplatzen. Ich finde euch sehr sympatisch und schaue eure Videos mit wachsender Begeisterung.♥️👍 Liebe Grüsse, aus Deutschland!

[@duanetruscott3796]

Your not going to put siding on the house till next summer are you. Those supports are secondary. Your not going to use that deck that far out this winter.

[@lynnlegault985]

Thats why they invented hand grinders for people like you and I
