Sorry for replying to this but for some reason I don't see the comet field to say something! So for the loss of Ronnie your friend ! 🙏❤

[@joneblaze82]

Better plan that concrete work cause temp.too low you can't pour. And that is alotta footing. Now the ag software and the autopilot should leave snafu spots the have to be dealt by hand to nav overall lookin good 👍 interested to see your time tables and numbers. Good luck chief ;)

[@parlordancer]

@colethecornstar I watched the video where the plumber reacted to your video. He made a good point about how the pipes don’t have a vent for them. You may have drainage issues when running the sink or flushing the toilet.

[@leighcastor]

Ronnie was my sister n-laws uncle . I want to thank everyone for the condolences and prayers on behalf of his family. He will be missed.❤❤❤

[@timothyklossner2381]

When u pour the basement floor have a spot that won't get covered up put your family hand prints in the cement to able to see for a long time even gradpas and grandma you will not believe how much your boys will appreciate years later😊

[@32valkyrie32]

Great idea🎉

[@jstewtew]

Stack some bodies before you pour the floor.

[@kerryforman8129]

Not sure what your beliefs are but when we built our home we buried a Bible in our foundation!

[@Julie-se4wg]

Awe, Roman you are such a wonderful man. I could feel your disappointment in that mistake. But your fixing it so, great job. I can't tell you how lucky your wife and children and of course Cole and his family are to have you in their lives. ❤❤❤❤

[@susanritchie4921]

It’s OK Roman, you’re still a lovable little fuzz ball.

[@IAGrl55]

So sorry for the loss of Ronnie. It's tough losing people you love, care and respect. I lost my brother earlier this month. Although not a big surprise, it always hits pretty hard when it happens.

[@texasoutlook60]

Cole & families, sorry for your loss. Please let Ronnie's family know I'm praying for them.

[@joycevonbon4955]

Sorry about Ron. He was a good man. Nice to see Justin. I'm excited to see him work again with Cole and Roman. Hello, MC. It's nice to see you again.

[@HillCatPc]

Cole, you have the kindest sweet soul. Thank you for being you and never let anyone change you. ❤

[@nataliemyer3114]

My condolences go out to Ron's family and to you and the Cornstars. I can tell how much he meant to you! Its really hard losing a loved one. Family or not, it hurts. Thank you for being real with us Cole. We all struggle and have to deal with loss. Love the handprints! My love to all you Cornstars!

[@matthewb3113]

So sad to hear about Ronny's passing. He was a genuine part of your channel, and hearing that he is arriving to pick up crops will be missed.

[@statewench2828]

Sending my condolences to you your family and Ron's family. He hung in there for y'all that's a good man. RIP Ronnie.

[@michaelmaglier3915]

A little humility is a good thing! I felt your pain Roman!😝

[@nancyoleksy]

Aww Cole, I love that you show your emotions the way you do. You worked with Ronnie for years and people become like family. Condolences to his family. Nice to see your mom come and check out the house.

[@born2soon]

My footprints as a five year old (1957) were embedded in my grandparent's basement floor until last year (2023) when the new owners epoxied over the floor. Condolences to your family on the loss of your friend Ron. Have a safe and bountiful harvest!

[@larrydettmer8916]

21:53, Bolt one LVL on each side of the I-BEAM web & if possible make a way to wedge them between the flanges to put the web in tension. That will "GRAETLY" reduce rhythmic bounce from walking around upstairs. That work can be done this winter & saves having to carry the LVLs outside. Love the plumb sticks !!!!

[@andreamanocchi4066]

So sorry for your and your family’s loss. Condolences to his family as well. 🙏

[@danemcrae1371]

So sorry to hear about Ronnie! He was such a good guy and a big help around your farms and homes!

[@jeffmorgan6907]

Sending thoughts and prayers to Ronnie's family, God will be with you all.

[@CindyJoAnn]

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dear friend Ronnie. That is a huge loss.... I am excited for harvest, and also for the big cement floor pour, in your basement!!!! Cole and Roman are doing a TREMENDOUS job on the house! I'm enjoying every single video!

[@rachealsmith5138]

I always enjoy seeing your videos but don’t always comment. I have been watching for years, and Ronnie was always a big part of your transport. Blessings to his family, and sorry for your loss…. Blessings to the Cornstars too! ❤

[@paulavandieden8609]

Condolences to Ronnie's family & all the cornstars. Doing what he loved is a great way to go -- dad was the same. Sure beats a slow decline. Great to see MC.

[@kimturano8786]

So sorry to hear about Ronnie. I always enjoyed watching him pull in to get a load. God bless his family at this difficult time. ❤

[@debbydrach]

I’m so sorry for your loss, I know how friends can feel like family, what a big loss you must feel, hugs and prayers for comfort

[@jeffreycarpenter7485]

From a Western, New York follower from the beginning, my Condolences too. May the Peace of GOD be with Ronnie and his extended family.

[@MillyRue]

When we poured our garage floor we had our son put his hand prints into the edge by the door.. we just poured a small spot by it with his sons hands at the same age!! I also have my sons growth marked in the mudroom along with his sons.. such great memories everytime I look at it.

[@GenerousLife]

Big props to Roman! Finding an error, devising a solution and all with a humble demeanor. That is character! Condolences to friends and family of Ronnie.

[@whitneylivingston5706]

Prayers for Ronnie’s family and friends. I’m excited for harvest season and to see it all come to fruition!! I’m also excited to see the basement finished when the time comes.

[@makeuplover6852]

My condolescenses on the passing of your dear friend Ron. I always loved to see a flash of Ronnie here and there over the years in your videos. My fathers name was Ron and he also drove truck and every other thing that had wheels or treads - he drove it. I lost him far too young, he was only 64. Last year I lost my baby nephew who was only ten weeks old, so that puts things into perspective real quick. I then thought well my Dad did live a good long life, he was married, had 4 children, two wives and 3 grandchildren before he passed, he now has several more. I wish hed been alive to meet my son but like I said, he did live a good life, it was a hard life, but I think if you asked him, hed still say, it was a good life. My prayers are with Ron's family. He will absolutely be missed.

[@LitlPoot]

Sad day on the farm for sure ... take some time to grieve - and thank God for all the years you got to spend with him. Prayers for all the family & friends - may God find you with his comfort & peace 😥

[@johntilson2535]

While you may miss your friend Ronnie, keep in mind that advanced old age isn't for everyone. One might say, the fact that he died doing what keeps most men feeling like they're alive, 'work', is a blessing. I'm watching my 88-year-old mother slowly deteriorate from dementia. She can't hardly walk anymore and her once sharp mind is gone. Yet her heart and lungs are strong. Meaning: She may continue to linger in a state not really more than existence for years. She is not happy and has expressed her wishes to 'leave' to many times to count. It is heartbreaking. I'm 67 and if I make it to 70, still intact and aware, I'd call that a win if I too am taken home by the Lord at that time. I have NOT ONE DESIRE TO SUFFER LIKE MY POOR MOTHER. Sorry for rambling. My condolences for your loss, Cornstars.

[@laurieboughfman5727]

Sending you hugs, love and light. My mom passed at 90 and I was the one child of five living near her who watched her on a daily basis as her decline began. I was with her when she died, and she had to work hard at doing that. Just went to a funeral yesterday for a friend who passed in his sleep at 67 and who enjoyed life to its fullest. It will always be life's greatest mystery, at least from this side!

[@adp6694]

I feel for you John. I have been caring for my 86 year old mother in the exact same condition for the past 11 years. I'm 53. It's tough to watch every day.

[@adp6694]

My heart goes out to you!

[@pamkammann1176]

Sending you prayers , I lost my 93 yr old mom two years ago , she was in a decline in memory but called me several times a day , I live thirty miles from where she was , her home since 1958,@ where I grew up. It’s so hard to lose them. I’m 72 so not sure what’s in my future so try n enjoy what it is..

[@lindakinsey1093]

Thank you for doing that for your mom. I just did that for my 93 year old mom. Dementia is a hard thing to understand and watch. You never know if you are doing the right thing. We just love them and do our best. I agree going when God calls and doing what we love best is the way to go. Hugs everyone.

[@KathleenAhart]

It's heartbreaking to lose a lifelong friend. RIP to your Ronnie. ❤ Nice to see Justin. May you have a successful harvest season. ❤

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Ronnie did a lot of work at Cornstar farms. He left his mark there where he’ll be remembered forever.

Condolences to all of Ronnie’s family and friends. I’m sure he will be missed and thought of often. 🙏🏼✝️ Love seeing and hearing about the upcoming harvest season. Enjoy the farming videos also. 🌽🫛🚜

[@denault3985]

Glad you caught you're mistake early, otherwise larger problems later on. Sorry to hear about Ronnie. Suggest taking out the board with the family handprints and hanging it up on the new wall when finished.

[@imkwuzn]

Prayers to Ronnie’s family and friends. 🙏. The integrity of a man is not shown in his success, it is how he handles mistakes and challenges. Roman is a perfect example of that! Everyone makes mistakes.

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Condolences to you and your family Cole and of course to Ronnie’s family. He is resting in Heaven❤️🙏🏻

Yell all you want Cole, I love that you have soooo much energy!!!! Condolences to all those feeling the loss of Ronnie🙏♥️

[@ericbernau2]

Have a safe and bountiful harvest

[@reneloper9074]

It’s said you can tell the character of a man by the friends he keeps. You have made wonderful choices in who you call friend. Roman is delight to listen too while he shares his knowledge. And, finally Cole my prayers go out to each member of your family. Ronnie will always be part of your family. Blessings 💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@helenvoltaire4530]

My condolences to Ronnie's family. May he rest in peace.

[@bethknapp2736]

Sending love and prayers to all of Ronnies family and friends. Cole i just wanted to give you the biggest hug when you talked about Ronnie. Its so hard losing someone very special to us. You need to take a picture of the hands before you cover them as you continue building.

[@sharonwilson8208]

If that's the worst thing you need to fix, you're doing good 😊❤ You guys have done a lot of heavy labor. When you get back into the more delicate operations, it's easy to make a slight error. No big deal. We still love Roman ❤😅

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Cole, great video your house reconstruction is coming along good. I especially like the little hand print put on the wood. By your Family, I agree with you when you said it's the best part of the house. It's your family's way of putting their inprint. Kind of like a time capsule, but unfortunately no one will see it. So maybe you can recreate the same thing. Somewhere on the house so that it can be looked at in years to come. As a remembrance of it all. Also the little information that you gave about the corn and the soybeans. Was interesting I'm not a farmer or have much knowledge of what goes on to run a farm. But I can appreciate how much work it takes. Sorry to hear about your loss of your Friend Roney. Looking forward to your next video as always.

[@DeboraRobinson-sj4oq]

so sorry for your loss

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

Sorry for your loss, always good to think of the memories you had with Ronnie. 🙏💞

[@earlaagaard8175]

So sorry about Ronnie - losing a friend is rough.....prayers for his family....and yours!

[@judytruesdell6816]

It was so good to see Juston ( his superhero pose was great). But, I’m so sad to hear about Ron. It’s all I could think about thru the rest of the video. I think back to the time he shared with you that his sister in laws cancer had returned and a go fund me was set up for her. His wife will be so sad at his passing. I wonder how her sister is making out. It was very nice to see you out in the fields, it felt so free-ing to be surrounded by the living things. 🌽🌽🌽🌽 God bless & comfort Ron’s family. 🙏

Hey I watched some more of your video and saw those hand prints. Take a picture of them or if you can cut that out have Nava add hers and frame that for your new house when its done. That is so special. ❤

[@trebornesregrot]

My girls remodeled their bedroom and couldn't decide what the floor should be and we paint our sub floors to hep keep stains, water etc. under control. So they were goofing around and wrote sayings, quotations, painted flowers , handprints and stuff on the floor. That was 8 years ago and they won't cover it up. It is a real treasure to have all that as reminders for us!

[@normfromhawaii1173]

You know how you estimated the cost of farming in previous videos wit labor estimates? It makes me wonder what you labor estimate is for your forever-house. I suspect this is much more a labor of love than financial sense would dictate. The greatest part so far is seeing just how much you are enjoying this endeavor. With much Aloha...

[@missykowalewski]

Cole, I’m listening to ur explanation of the harvest and something struck me. Have u watched this episode? U sound and act just like DCS. It’s really cool to see. Ur roots r deeply planted and what a wonderful thing to see in a young person who’s just getting started. U guys have talked for years about being ready and it’s finally happened. Wow, the goals all of u have reached just by eating the elephant one bite at a time.
