I appreciate that you don't feel the need to talk constantly in your videos & no music or little music!! There's enough noise in our world today!! Just the sounds of nature around you & your machines & watching your talent - that's perfect!! Thank you!! ❤️ Your labs in that water were so cute!! 👍💖

Loved this video thanks. Nice idea to save foundation. God bless you and your family.

[@tedbryer2512]

OH MAN - you do a mighty fine job on that rock work!!! It looks fantastic!

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thanks, Ted! Hey. Question. What did the mama cow say to the baby cow?! ….It’s pasture bedtime! -Jennifer

[@mjay8128]

I was stumped on how you were going to be able to place the logs in the retaining wall in such a confined space for the tractor. Your solution was just BRILLANT !!!!!

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

He is brilliant for sure. I couldn’t believe what he had in mind, haha. Sometimes I wonder why he stole all the family smarts! 🤣🤣 Thanks for following! -Jennifer

That was great, I went and did my shopping, came home, made coffee, back to the video and Richard was still digging the same hole, that is one hard ground.😊 good job Richard.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

With no rain, whew it makes for some hard work! Hope all is well, Paul!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Looks good Richard, hope it does the job for you and keeps the water from flowing to the house. That Tractor sure lightens the load from you with the grapple and other attachments. You all stay safe and keep up the good videos and having fun around there. Fred.

Those grapples make it look effortless, huh? That creek is like crack to Smoky and Dolly. I think they love it more than they love my Dad! Lol. -Jennifer

Make the retaining wall part of the back porch have steps on his side and it says just running up the hillside.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Good idea! -Jennifer

Thank you for sharing this, I was looking for a solution to a similar problem in our home.

Glad it helped

[@MyLevelheaded]

fried potatoes are a welcome addition to break fast my experience says bake them by the dozen and fry them later ...Great source of fuel in the am terrible in the pm...

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Nice! Might have to try that. So baking them and then frying them, does that change the flavor at all? -Jennifer

[@MyLevelheaded]

@@SmokyMountainOutpost for the better i think...cook the raw ingredients first and then place potatoes in the juices set their crust just perfect...they fracture less and soak up the flavors...

[@delmanicke9228]

Boy as hard as that soil is maybe should have considered a French drain in that area too. Just kind of looks that way to me and I've heard you mention lot of clay in your area. 👍

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

It is hard as a rock at times! -Jennifer

[@njr7044]

Richard retaining wall should help you a lot. do you have plans for putting in a drainage line too?

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

He does. Jonathan will be back up there to dig the french drain (?) out soon. -Jennifer

[@gwp1ohio]

don't need to worry about the freeze thaw cycles pulling the concrete and posts up? looks great

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Our freeze line is six inches. As long as we are below that we are okay

[@williamshaven8289]

Now that you have the post in for the back deck, where will the steps go?

Hi Richard ,Tom Julian here the glass window guy. I was wondering what ever happened to the nice young man Patrick that always came up to help you? Thanks

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Tom!!!!! We have missed you! How in the world are you?! Patrick has really had to delve in to his studies to graduate college. He has a full time teaching position waiting on him when he is done. Thanks for asking! -Jennifer

[@tomjulian1525]

Thanks Jennifer,if you see him let him know I asked. I wish I lived closer, I would see you guys all the time. Maybe I can make it back up there some day. Take care and God bless.

[@judyrichards2691]

Would it not have been faster to run the logs through the sawmill for a tight more uniform fit? Cuts out the step of having to remove the bark . . .

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

He had thought about that in the beginning, but the logs were so crooked by the time he was able to get them “straight” he would have lost a lot of wood. -Jennifer

[@bucklaquey1157]

Yep , almost 3 years ago. “You need a retaining wall behind your house “ response “it’s slate rock no need” just saying.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Slate rock? We have shale. They are two different types technically. I think you are meaning shale though. It is not so much the shale has given away, it is more so the red clay dirt has broken down by being walked on often and from the rain. Of course erosion occurs naturally. It wasn’t something he figured he would need. We live and we learn. I don’t think it helped building the garden there and that could be one of the greater reasons erosion occured. Our previous 2 houses he built himself didn’t require one. Both were red clay/shale mix as well. I agree that you had a good idea! Thanks for following! -Jennifer

We can always replace it again with free materials. I figured it would last about 10 years. And, gives me something to do
