[@suzannebeech7147]

Thank you for your encouragement!! Love your channel and your family. I lean on God everyday and trust in him fully. May God continue to bless your family.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you 😊

[@robertmiddleton1227]

I love the Inspiration that you give off of your channel and to your people that watch you guys have gave me the courage to move forward with my life after being diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and an injury from being hurt on the job by being hit by a car as a garbageman and then thinking that i have found someone to spend my life with until I find out that she's only in the marriage for the settlement money and taking it from me in a divorce after I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and dealing with the job injury from 2010 between your channel and the unashamed podcast with Phil Robertson as given me strength and I know that Jesus will always have my back with faith in him thank you Robert w Middleton

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

So glad that you have found strength in God through your difficult times. Glad our channel could play a small part in that! God Bless!

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy y’all- loved the video. I would like to know how you have figured out how to hold the camera and the lady load the wagon lol. The ending was great! Matthew 7:24 has been my motto for many years. I have it on my business cards and have used this verse in a sermon or two. God bless y’all and keep you safe and healthy

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

LOL.. yeah I just got lucky with Laine.. She's a hard worker! Thanks for watching!

[@catherinehicks8771]

you are doing such a great job with these vids Michael. no fluff, right to the point. thank you! and you are spreading the good news of Jesus love and protection. how awesome.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@jasoncote7671]

curious to know the square footage of the foundation you installed. If $2,800 materials/labor for installed block and bar, how does that factor per square foot?

[@juliannarusso5547]

I love your channel! The note of encouragement at the end is something that needs to be said especially during this time. As a Christian myself I am glad we can have that solid foundation in Jesus Christ and know that no matter what happens God has it all in his hands.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Amen!! Thank you 😊

Why don't y'all build a bridge over that Creek to avoid getting stuck? Also Lani you are a natural beauty little lady, no need to get dolled up for us while you work. Foundation is looking good. Loved the message at the end. Y'all are such a blessing. 💞

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

A bridge would be to costly plus we would have to tear it down after completion. The way we are getting into the site now will not be the main access once completed. I’ll explain more in future videos. And thank you 😊

So thankful for your message today!! While I know this with my whole heart because my heart definitely stands upon that solid rock - I needed this reminder! Working in healthcare with covid patients in my hospital - the devil has definitely been sneaking those little worries and stress thoughts in there that I need to weed out!! No room for that in my faith! We see blessings around us everyday. God is good!! Bless you both and your sweet littles ♥️🙏🏻♥️

Check out Migraine Craftsman channel. He said he paid close to $6,000 for slab foundation for a under 800 sq ft house. Not sure what part of the country he is in. I am considering block as well. .

[@kellyburrus4887]

I am so proud of you young folks, not afraid to testify that our God can do anything. I also am getting ready to start a project outside of Branson. I am researching foundation options for our house, keep the faith my friends, Steve Burrus.

[@teekay1785]

There are other ways to get the materials in there like pulling a larger trailer with up to several thousand pounds at a time with small tractor or rent something like a skid steer with tracks. I know its as much of a matter of costs to you but we are talking about avoiding essentially almost all manual labor .have blocks delivered or picked up on pallets, rent skid steer and fork attachment one day for about $200 use to load and unload the pallets on trailer then pull it with skid steer to sight and save a lot of time in the process as well as save your labor for what has to be done with manual labor.

[@DreamingOutloudRVing]

Great ending guys! Our jobs have been affected but we have faith in God..

[@KM-ur1re]

it does not mean the bricks of a foundation of a house. it means the rock on the earth, or sand on the earth. The wise man built his house on rock. You may have bricks under your house but it you build it on a sandy hill you may have to kiss it good bye.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

It’s a metaphor about what we build our lives upon.. of the world or Jesus.. who is the rock

[@bequetta]

That creek is a booger, it doesn't like anything driving across it😩

[@dalejensen5828]

I guess your ground does not freeze. Foundations need to be built below the lowest maximum frost line otherwise frost heave can destroy a foundation..

The backhoe or excavator is right there that would save a lot of work.. Another thought about slabs if or when I build another house it will either have a basement with under slab insulation or a crawlspace with minimum slab for the crawlapce which will have at least a fair area of 4-5 ft height so it can have at least a hatch access from inside for storms and "safe room" for valuables as well as make it very easy to store things that are not used often like for me duck decoys etc.

[@kylesararas7243]

Jesus is the cornerstone in which the wise man builds upon

Thank you so much for your positivity. We too know the Lord has this and the World needs to come back to him. We too are building on our homestead, although we don't have the talent to do it ourselves, although we have done the land clearing, but have hired a contractor to build our cabin. A Cabin was our choice because we too over look a creek and there is a water fall out the front of the property that we are going to be able to sit on the front pouch and watch while we have our morning coffee or after dinner with a glass of lemonade or whatever or choice of drink might be. Again Thank you.
