Harvesting Cedar Trees And A Professional Comes To Inspect The Roof Of The 140 Year Old Farm House

[@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG]

The first time Walter Mallard filmed for me, we did a video series called A Day On The Farm... here’s the sequel, “Another Day on the Farm” featuring Uncle Ken and a roof estimate...

I could smell the cedar as you were cutting the tree! ❤️

[@mowergal9776]

To raise monies for the Old Byrd Farm, get Uncle Ken's picture printed on some tshirts and sell them, sure fire money maker! I think all your subs are fans of Uncle Ken!

[@katherineg5946]

Liquid Wrench on those bolts and let it work before using an impact wrench might be a good idea.

[@jsgreys11]

I know someone mentioned using a hard hat, but have you ever thought about goggles when you use that chain saw? 👍🏼🤓

[@jimprince8280]

When the movie is made of the Old Byrd House, Sam Elliot has to play Uncle Ken!

[@raynonabohrer5624]

I agree 👍

[@mowergal9776]

Absolutely 100%! I was trying to figure out who Uncle Ken reminded me of, you got it right!

They would have to dig up 12 bodies on the old bird farm for it to become a movie

Your mamma raised a great kid. So much respect for life and people. My prayers are with you. Hey to Uncle Ken.

[@mammahasspoken]

Robert's interaction with his Uncle Ken is heartwarming to say the least ❤️

[@TLSmith-mq1ud]

I think the key to understanding Uncle Ken is listening a little bit with your ears and a whole bunch with your heart 😊 I always feel like I found a bunch of real good people when I watch this channel.

[@dianemitchell5142]

Me too. Three is a lot of love and respect in his family.

[@spunkygmahappy4778]

I just love that you involve your Uncle Ken in what you are doing, show true care for family

[@lindabishop-surbeck2575]

Love Uncle Ken! It’s good for him to come out there and “help”.

[@moxiemckeldrey5486]

Love the frogs and night sounds. Country music of the best kind. Makes the soul calm and happy.

[@onedayatatime4633]

Uncle Ken and the other Robert make my day every time they help you😁

[@geraldpierini9010]

Come to think of it, never have seen them together on a video.

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Uncle Ken! He’s so cool. Great to share this journey with your family and friends. It’s what’s best about the South. Blessings.

[@susanritchie4921]

Yeah, Uncle Ken is a keeper.

[@claracarter3181]

Glad to see Uncle Ken! His laugh is wonderful! Rain forecast for this weekend. More gravel.

[@shellydehart8217]

Love Uncle Ken n that great chuckle of a laugh. He’s a good ole’ boy. Worked hard today I can see. I agree on the cedar trees for post. They’ll last ya a while. Excited for you, possibly a new roof YAHOOO hope they give ya a good price n if so the rain will hold off for awhile. Have a great day Robert we all love ya. ♥️♥️😊👍👍

[@anne-mareebarendrecht9824]

Hi Robert from The Netherlands, I've been binge watching your videos on the old Byrd House and enjoying them very much. Love Uncle Ken and his cute little chuckle, I bet he could tell some good ol stories of his younger years. What I wouldn't give to be able to do what your doing. I tell you know I defiantly wouldn't be scared of getting in there and getting my hands dirty.

[@JanRaz1955]

Love seeing uncle Ken..🥰 the south is all about family values 😉 have a wonderful day ya’all.

[@peterdavis8737]

Uncle Ken is awesome! Makes me laugh right along with him lol. Its looked like a blessing all the work and help.

[@belleange590]

Uncle Ken is a hoot. Love seeing him. That darn Wisteria is going to be a forever problem!!!!

[@CottonO]

I can't help thinking of a movie set for an alien planet, although the singing frogs make me wonder if a swamp creature will rise out of the Wisteria and eat Robert in one big gulp.

[@angiebrockett7621]

I believe Uncle Ken really enjoys watching the transformation of the Byrd Farm, You can see it in his face. Did he work a farm in his younger years? It looks as though he misses it, if he did. It is great that you are utilizing the things on the Old Byrd Farm. I am happy for the extra long video and included in what to look forward to.

[@smurph4959]

Ken is a brilliant supervisor with the best laugh. I love the wave goodbye, I always do that to people leaving too ... wait until they are out if sight 🌼

[@cindyhernandez152]

Thanks so much for stopping work so we could hear the frogs! That's another reason I love this channel so much - the nature sounds! I miss hearing frogs, crickets, coyotes, etc. Someday I'll get out of this wretched city. Looks like Uncle Ken has quite the following! That's so cool! He's a gem! As for that roof, I'm sure lots of folks would be willing to donate a few bucks here and there. We'll help ya!

[@tammyw1873]

Good to see Uncle Ken. Love his laugh! If I could I would love to be out there helping clean up the farm.

[@mythoughts2221]

I love both the sounds of the birds and the frogs.

[@omaelder6279]

Your family has a treasure in uncle Ken please continue to have him in your videos as much he wants to participate your scribes thoroughly enjoy his presence

[@beachbum7425]

Awww bless, Uncle Ken is a treasure, you can tell he's so proud of you and what you're doing here on the Byrd farm Robert. There has got to be some talented crafty women in the family that can make something with that blasted wisteria! May as well make some money from it!

[@rosemariegarrison4487]

Uncle Ken is a funny man and smart. To keep people from stealing put you some trail cameras that go to phone . You will be surprise to see the people you know that will drive by and watch your channel to steal from you. You need to talk to nursery how to get wisteria from coming back . You work too hard for someone to come along and take from you. Love what you are doing awesome

[@maryannsarkady7950]

I love the sound of the frogs ! It reminds me of growing up near the woods and a lake

[@pamelasinclair-karney8856]

Nice to see Uncle Ken again he's good company. I like watching your adventures.

[@jenniferfulkerson4060]

Good Morning Robert! I see that today is once again a "Wisteria Warrior" episode, at least in part.😉 Uncle Kenny is a doll. It's good to see him on again.

[@denise-rw9yf]

We love you and your Uncle Kenny. He looks like a man that worked hard and played every chance he could.

[@apcadd80]

I had several family members like uncle Ken. Just lost my uncle who was just a special person reminded me of your uncle. They are treasures. I love being southern because there are so many interesting people!

[@steveclark4291]

I bet Uncle Ken has some good stories to tell ! Sure would love to hear a few of them ! Uncle Ken reminds me of my Uncle Bill ! Good guys !

[@karenwright9123]

Good work...kill wisteria,kill wisteria. Cedar is great for fence posts,resists rot,insects and decay. It's always a plus to have material resources right at hand. I think you have a pioneering spirit. It will serve you well. Always good to have Uncle Ken visit,I have this nurturing thing that tells me he needs feeding. I wish you well on the roof deal,fingers crossed and prayers.

[@jimp4037]

We love Great Uncle Ken!

I love Uncle Ken. He reminds me so much of of my favorite Uncle Ray. The Old Byrd Farm is being to look pretty good with your bush hogging of the wisteria thickets.

[@tracydee]

What a blessing to have your Uncle Ken come hang out with you! Enjoy every minute of it. I love that man's laugh!

[@jeffjohnson4015]

You really worked very hard on your property today. It's nice that you can harvest your own trees and use it for things on your property. We think that is really cool. Recycle what you can and make it work somewhere else. We love the fact you can do that, so awesome

Yea! Almost a roof. Afterwards, the chimney. I cannot believe the brush hog attachment is able to chew up all the ground wisteria. Made in America. Boom.

I am so proud of you! You have him there and I think that is great. He is so awesome. He reminds me of my family on my moms side.

[@janicebiggers2544]

You are a very nice man and you can tell you were raised right, God bless you and all your plans for the farm.

[@leonardwhitlowii2411]

Years ago out here in Oregon, I had a brush patch on Dad’s farm that thick. I put an electric fence in our garage and trained some young pigs to it. I fenced the brush patch with electric fence, threw lots of cracked corn into the thickest part and the pigs rooted it all out. Put new corn out every several days. Really worked except the neighborhood kids kept unplugging the fence.

[@patricialenaburg6553]

Big shout out to Great Uncle Ken. Little by little things are coming along, on the old farm.

[@brendakayshelby8646]

I love seeing everything you are doing I adore Uncle Ken and great tree cutting

[@14tfisher]

All that wisteria around there, what a pain that has to be clearing it out. Loved the vlog today Robert, thank you for bringing Uncle Kenny with ya today, love him and the other Robert, what a hoot 😅 Thank you for sharing the video today, really enjoyed it. Be safe and take care Robert, till next time.. 😊

[@lorriegeorge6889]

I love those chirpy frogs too. I used to love my Grandfather's farm at night in Arkansas, it was a haven of peace. I don't recall them during the day 🕊️🙏😻

[@donnadanna6676]

Love the sound of peepers. First signs of spring.

[@stevenwiezbicki8894]

What a relief to have an expert roofer and restorer like him available for your project! And the drone method for roof inspection and measurements sounds great!

thats the only way we have to check our hundred year old house's roof: drone.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Love seeing Robert's Uncle Ken. at some point looks as if he remembers back to doing things like this, when he was younger maybe?? Wondering is Robert's Father still living??Love how Robert shows respect to his uncle by getting the chair for him as he is starting to out on the bumper on the tractor.. that is the type of respect that I grew up with as well..

[@SpringRiverHollar]

It's so awesome that you stand there until Uncle Ken is out of sight . Once again you put out another great video . Thank you

[@filomenadabatos6614]

I like uncle Ken .. Whenever he is around.. Keep on replaying maybe in the long run I can understand him.. He is like an actor in the Wild West movie and I realise with the same accent.. Southern accent..

[@Itiswhatitis55]

Uncle Ken for President 2024!! 🇺🇸

[@debranelson1987]

I'd vote for him!

[@conanbillybone2218]

Is your Uncle Ken Cajun? His accent is hard for me to place. Keep bringing him to the farm he loves hanging out with you guys. You're doing an amazing job.

[@big.ronwisconsin9598]

Love the accent of your uncle Ken be great to see him in more upcoming videos

[@hankfacer7098]

Clearing starting to look really good. Clear trees to make fence posts, fantastic, not just burnt.

[@crystalmcconnell2403]

Your Uncle Kenny is the cutest. Love what you are doing to the Old Byrd Farm. We need more men out there that care about our history and preserving it. Thank you and keep up the incredible things you are doing.

[@moxiemckeldrey5486]

Cool Uncle Ken😊 I have an Uncle named Kenny. Giggle he was on Moonshiners. Season 10 Episode 5. He owns a corngrist mill. I grew up knowing JimTom. The good ol days.

[@MrJeep75]

Love seeing the property coming back to life, hope you film the roof getting fixed

[@sandrasmith8518]

The frog's croaking is so soothing....I can listen to them forever.

[@darlacasey5022]

Your family is great ! Uncle Ken always smiling and laughing . We had 10 inches of snow here in Arkansas starting Feb. 14 , lasted a week. Then temps in the 70's . The frogs are singing here now too ! Crazy !!!!

[@joharmon2148]

I just love Uncle Ken! I bet he can tell some stories about what life was like back in his youth.

[@carolsmith4653]

Fun to hear those frogs sitting by a fire and looking at the stars.I miss those days a bunch.

[@emmalouize]

Best intro ever!!! ❤️ his laugh reminds me of what I remember Beavis and butthead sounding like many years ago. Uncle Ken is the best! Lots of love to you all from New Zealand.

[@naenae796]

Robert, I just now found time to watch this and I am alarmed ! Please, please, be extremely careful around the PTO shafts on that mower ! Lost a friend years ago when his coat got caught in the knuckle on the shaft on a feed grinder. Horrible ! They are supposed to have a guard on them now.

[@cheskydivision]

Contact your local college, ask professors for volunteers to help. Especially the history and archeology students. Then the horticultural students can come out to study about invasive plants and work out a plan to get rid of them. Then call out the architect and engineering students to learn about historical builds and how to save it. In the end put a plaque on the front of the house thanking the college and students for saving a historic place. Or just offer to bbq for a group of church kids one weekend for help clear the land. Any grants out there?

[@leeheongow8014]

Yes, that's a good idea!!!.

[@lauraleckemby249]

Uncle Ken is way Cool! Keep up the good work! Looking Great!!!✌️&💞

[@bethshadid2087]

Uncle Ken is funny. When I heard his laugh before you put him on screen had flashback moment of Beavis 😁

[@laurenweisse9858]

The spring frogs and the birds are so peaceful.there is a positive vibes at the Byrd farm! Love 💕 the progress your making!!!

[@disco5166]

I love your videos! I live in a house built across the street in 1898. It was moved across the delivery alley in 1910 in the winter by horses using logs to roll it. Monumental task--6 bedroom colonial. 2400 square feet Love the bird sounds in the background of your videos!

[@LifeMostSouthern]

I love the fact that you’re building the fence with what you have on hand. We do that all the time from necessity but I think those lean times when necessity taught us to make do with what we had was such a valuable lesson in stewardship that I would not have learned any other way. I really hope that as circumstances change and we have more that I still think from the “Make do” point of view.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I used to have a great uncle Vora that your uncle Ken reminds me of.😊 They used cedar because it last longer than any other wood commonly found in the area. We used it in KY when I was a kid. My father still does as far as I know.😊🐝❤

[@amywright2243]

I miss getting together with my aunts and uncles! Glad you can hang out with yours. I catch myself at all times of the day thinking, what would get rid of all that wisteria?

[@connie9]

Great Uncle Ken. 😅 It is getting easier to understand him. 🤔 Whatever you paid for that tractor it was a steal.

[@steveclark4291]

Howdy Uncle Ken good see you again !

[@jeffpurtell5676]

Drip rails all around are critical. The spacing between the wood trim and the edge of the drip rail is vital. This Old House has some great vids on this topic. This will save a lot of wood rot on the trim if done correctly. I've seen roof installations where this wasn't even done! Crazy.

[@annashannon4528]

This place is amazing I'm excited to see how much can be done on a short time that you have been working on this place I watched a couple guys remodel Victorian house here in Ohio and took them almost seven years to complete and it is absolutely beautiful

[@terminalvelocity6398]

Robert, those cedar posts will last longer if you skin the bark off of them. A draw knife works well for this purpose. Uncle Ken is a HOOT!

Uncle Ken is quiet the character. I just want to pinch his cheeks. He truly loves watching you work. Robert we are waiting for the day all your fans can come and get you some help with that wisteria

[@sonja_hooper]

in a Pinch you can use Transmission Fluid and Dawn Dish detergent to help Loosen bolts

[@katherineg5946]
