🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
In today's video we finish our concrete pier foundation for the new workshop! We cut our tube forms level, mix and pour the concrete, place rebar in our forms, and finish off the piers with our concrete-to-beam simpson tie brackets. Let's go!

I wonder how that fiberglass rebar would work for tomato stakes ?

[@sam-and-angela]

Now there's an idea!!

[@MofoMatchez]

THIS MIGHT SOUND DUMB BUT YALL BRING US ALL SOME VERY MUCH NEEDED CALMNESS.

[@janetkoball44]

And that's a rap. Good videos of concrete work. It can be used in so many different ways and I love it. There you are , Angela. You must be making a lot of a soap these days. Thanks for sharing your homesteading with all of us. See you later.

[@Zombie-adventures]

Great job!

[@sam-and-angela]

We don't think it's dumb at all, and are greatly honored by the comment! We follow a few channels closely and it's so nice to get the alert when they publish new content... for the exact same reasons as you said. :) It's like surprise break we get to take.

[@cheryld4484]

When you were cutting the forms I was singing ring around the rosy 😂

[@kathrynmauro8673]

Looks like your workshop is going to be nice and big. You will be able to set up tools, tool chests, a workbench, and probably build some good size things. I'm sure that you are going to have the space to show your boys how to build things, use tools, and hang out with dad. Great job 👏👏👏. I can't wait to see the progress on your workshop.

[@sam-and-angela]

I hope it turns out that way too! The business aspect of this workshop may even be something one or both boys take over in their future too.. never know! It would be amazing if whatever starts in this workshop grows into something of their own someday.

[@angiethompson5684]

I've missed you all!! I got spoiled when I went back and started from the beginning, I was able to visit with you anytime I logged on. I'm excited to see the workshop build moving forward. Great Job!!!

[@3acreHomestead]

Is it weird that I wait for new episodes of your videos to come out like I do my favorite TV series? Gold rush lol

We love you guys so much. Your homeliness, kindness, and calmness is addicting plus Sam no matter what your laughing and we all need this, plus I don’t mind watching twice. Like I said over on SamCraft let the fun begin with building. After the build of the building are you going to bring us along building your shop out inside with workbench organization and so forth. That will be fun to watch and the turn current shop into recoding studio

I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO A NEW VIDEO ! SEE YA NEXT TIME. For Now it's DONE! God Bless You All their and We are Getting Rain, in MO & FREEZE WARNING Tomorrow night thru Mon am. We had been in 80's too. Take Care !

[@clydedecker765]

Sam, you know I love you guys but repeating the Samcraft stuff on the Green Acre channel is a bit much... I DO NOT know how you would separate them either but this content is probably best shown on the Green Acre channel since it's the entire land effect that involves the entire landscape...but let Sam do his Bidness stuff over there?? I KNOW its Sam's shop you're building but.... dey hain't together yet... Oh Heck .. Just repeat as necessary. Y'all know best.

[@dvssayer5621]

Wow! fiberglass rebar! Thats so cool! Im enjoying watching you work! Thinking of buying a doublewide, thats already had wood siding on it. Our house is just perfect, but 4 miles down the road theres this 2.5 acres, no hoa ( chickens) and its a great property. I found you by asking google if you can have a new sliding glass door added to a mobile! So yes you can!😊 im proud of you and your family for working hard to make your homestead!

[@evelyndole4618]

Interesting video! Although I hope I never have to pour concrete! Thank you for not having music blaring. I like to pick my own music. Yours was not offensive!

[@eayers1178]

You two are so funny. I love watching you. Often, I've been there, done that, and got the tee shirt. But today, there are new tools, etc, that make it easier. I loved the trick with the Sawzall. My husband was one of those who built the internet, bounced info to satellites and over phone lines. We had a "computer" in the house when no one knew what it was. My husband taught homself to type when that a female job. He could type at what seened like the speed of light. I wonder what he would think of technology today?

[@dellaburns7307]

Not to be morbid but with all the sawing mixing concrete the particulates will (not maybe) will get into your lungs migrate if to other organs especially your liver and kidneys every year have a liver panel and all the other organs I grew up in a smoking household i now have cirrhosis seed pockets in my pancreas and because of my cirrhosis my skin has a grey cast my esophagus is an open sore a small tumor on my liver and I developed a fib so for your future and your family’s use a good mask when you are working with these items and keep. Your wife and boys away when you are working with particultes

[@rubberdc]

Good evening Sam and Angela , Im a bit late to this Im afraid , because both my husband and I have been away for a few days celebrating his birthday and our wedding anniversary , and we spent it in Scotland .

[@buckpowers4837]

Another step successfully completed and very well done. Can't wait to see the next step and all the way to the finish. Going to be a nice building

Looking good. It's not hot here in Canada at the moment, enjoy your beautiful weather.

[@poorboyoutdoors6011]

Hoping to be doing the same soon building a "carport barn". Never would have thought about doing that and mounting a building on. Hope i can grade my spot down and still not be a problem with drainage under it. Wanting to have it so i can go in later and put in a concrete floor. I know the size of tube and how tall affects it but what is the bag to tube ratio on mixing and filling the shorter tubes?

[@carollsbostwick9683]

Of course Sam is the perfection and good “Done”

[@CindyofTheShire]

I was wondering what that pink rebar was! I’ve been seeing it around. Interesting….

[@samfeldman1508]

Fiberglass is a great idea. Steel rusts and expands and then the footer fails because concrete breaks.

As a Californian my brain tingles with the idea of just building what you want, when you want. Where are all the bureaucrats?

[@sharonyerrell3748]

Watch this on other channel ?

[@sam-and-angela]

My other channel Samcraft did have its version of this project step uploaded yesterday. It was on the same subject, but contained different aspects and information than this one. Between the two channels there are 180,000 subscribers and each channel audience is interested in this build, but for different reasons. I'm filming and editing the videos differently to suit the channel's individuality while not leaving people out.

[@offthebeatenpath5160]

Why are your Workshop videos on your Sam Craft channel but not on Green Acres channel? On the Sam craft channel, you already have the plywood floor laid.

[@sam-and-angela]

Be patient, this channel will get caught up soon.

[@sam-and-angela]

Ole Kobalt is hating life for sure! It never knew we'd throw about 300 bags into it in the first two months of having it. Hahaha It's been a trooper though! The vibration trick was a great one!

[@wb2ire]

This is a rerun?? Your last video was also rerun. ??

[@janicebean5448]

I’m happy because Sam is laughing

[@wadetyler5056]

Curious, do you enclose the underside to prevent critters and temperature creep? Also, are you going to plumb the shop?

[@sam-and-angela]

I will add insulation under the floor after the structure is dried in. Otherwise the rain would soak into it and cause mold or mildew. Otherwise the bottom will remain open as far as I have planned.

[@reannejarvis9464]

[@donjonson6607]

Why not save a whole lot of work and bring in a concrete truck and a pump truck? And get the job done in an hour! Also, if I may ask... What are the dimensions of the building?

[@sam-and-angela]

No one learns any new skills or improves themselves by paying others to work for them. We are not here for the quick fix, we prefer to learn, DIY, and share with others!

[@donjonson6607]

@@sam-and-angela Yes, but I see mixing concrete by hand as hard manual labor, not a learning experience. I wasn't suggesting that you hire someone to do the actual work for you. Only the method of getting the concrete. Order it, then have it pumped into each pier. Nothing to be gained by lifting 80 pound bags of concrete. But anyway, that is just my opinion.

[@OneBrightLightTN]

When did y’all get a cat? What’s it’s name?

[@texiandave8193]

Good video. Who makes your forklift attachment on your tractor ?

[@sam-and-angela]

I honestly don't know. Our Massey Ferguson has a skid steer quick attach (SSQA) system on the loader, so it will take any universal style attachments. This one was sold by a local farm equipment small business in the country. We've bought a few pieces of equipment from them over the last two years and always been treated right. :) The forks were a good deal, strong, and have been wonderful for our needs!

Great job once again. One suggestion for marking around your pillar cylinders: get yourself an 18" combination square. It will work just like your huge "T" square but is much easier to handle. Keep up the awesome work guys!

[@sandraanddelgray3180]

What is the reason for the pillars being high off the ground?

[@sam-and-angela]

To level the floor! Our girder beams will span across the pier footings and then our floor joists will span across the beams. This workshop will be on the same floor level as my current one so I can connect them in the future and not have any steps or ramps.
