[@mariagillinson8527]

Tara! Seems to me like with Johns new talent of building with cinder blocks he needs to build a retaining wall to stabilize the drop down on your land before you can build the pool. Needs drainage tubs to funnel some of the moisture coming down from your neighbours above… will probably end up below into the pool.

John took the words out of my mouth I was just thinking you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.love to see Crusoe getting stuck in the job 😊

[@nickfosterxx]

Yep. It's the paradox of hydraulic machinery, with tracks or wheels. They do so much damage through compaction (which is hard to fix, if at all) and yet can do the work of a dozen people, and create light fluffy planting soil at the same time... And move mountains of stuff. At the end of the day, roads are roads, since forever, and they can always pull a big hook through where they've been.

Nice place, I like the American style open kitchen, so definitely open up that wall, use the smallest room as a walk in closet - if you can merge the bathroom wall with the smaller room and make it into a nice bathroom with a walk in closet. The storage room will turn into a pantry!!

[@annettesharrock1236]

I just love the idea of the Time capsule .The boys get more and more adorable each time I see them. Nice work John your build. I suppose it does not help with the constant rain. With any projects you would like to do. Glad they got the tractor out, hoping you dont have anymore landslides with all the rain. Loved watching Tara John Crusoe and Sawyer😘

It’s so hard for children to give up their old toys…..used to have our 5 pick one every year for the Salvation Army toy drive. It’s good for them to learn at an early age to think of others don’t you think? The place is looking so good, so much hard work from you two and neighbors and now it is blossoming into a real beauty.

[@stephaniehanuman-dale6279]

Maybe reinforce the terrace so you have road access year round? Wire cage filled with rock is what I see a lot of where I live. If you’re able to run a grader behind the tractor that would help with the ruts? They look deep. Looking forward to seeing the hobbit house finished 🌱💚❤️ Don’t bury the “special” digger mom🤣❤️

[@ninadukette3340]

Gabion wall. Is that the term? With all the rocks around there, it should work. Quite common on the roads in NY state.

Mud slides after heavy rains are always a worry. All you can do is plant a load of grass plugs and pray they grow fast before it rains! Saying that, the hobbit garage looks very cool!

You can also put rocks between the mud. It is'nt the same as the roots but is a help. Or you can put another plastic above the mud when it rains until the grass is grouwn... That's an idea...

6:45 Wow you looked so stressed at seven minutes in. But it's not your fault, you really can't help, and I can imagine it must get a bit awkward filming all their difficulties, as well as their best bits. But. They did it. And you can make it up to them with all those things that good neighbours can do. You're so lucky to have them. PS I had to chuckle at the incredible bit of single handed wrapping that John pulled off. Hats off to you. PPS i'm actually quite jealous of the lovely long convivial dinner you're all going to have in the coming weeks.

[@kimberleyking1289]

Oh the tractor almost disappearing was awful! When a tractor is in trouble it really is bad, so thank goodness for their quick action in cutting away the wall-side to make room! The time capsule is such a lovely idea ☺ I hope it is found and brings as much joy to those who find it as it has to you putting it together. Are you going to add the clip of you making it to the memory card? The soil being added to the Hobbit House reminds me of the way that fallen leaves, (which I know so many people find untidy), manage to soften the harsh edges where they gather along paths and roads. It's just softened the building beautifully, and when John makes the few little building additions so it can go all over the sides it will look so snug! *Hugs * to you all! xx

[@AnneHeyns]

I googled for you ideas to stop the slopes from falling and this is what i found for you: In order to prevent slope erosion, plant grass and other vegetation. Grasses are great for slope stabilization because of their roots. They also absorb rainwater and other precipitation, making water erosion less common.

The plastic cover is unlikely to prevent water leaking. Some polyurea coating or any other underground waterproofing was a good idea.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Ari, ling term agreed. Current thinking is that this plastic is fairly temporary, with a bigger project in mind that will require modifying the hobbit house later in the year. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.

Hi Newbys, it seems you have to walk a very fine line with the titles, old timers like me know what you're referring to but obviously some people see the teasers as 'click bait!' You don't need to draw people in with shock titles as your lovely family content and exciting ideas and projects do just that.

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Claire, good to hear from you friend. We definitely try hard to keep our titles as real and relevant as possible, I would encourage everyone here to look back at our last 10 videos as evidence of this, and in fact if you have watched this video then the title and thumb nail probably also seem fairly benign and inoffensive, this is because you know what the title relates to; you have watched the content and seen us almost concluding a build and making it disappear under some soil. “End and Gone” two words which seem to have sparked an important debate! The truth about titles and thumbnails is that they need to remain relevant, and true to the video, but like movie posters they also need to capture the imagination. It’s a very hard job getting it spot on. Trust me the rewards for those people who do get it right are huge, and for the excellent content out there that is overlooked because of poor presentation, well that’s a terrible shame. If anyone reading this would like me to make a short video explaining this in detail, please do let me know, happy to weigh in with a few YT insights. Thanks so much Claire, as always we really appreciate your support.

As usual, I am astounded with what you are doing. So longing to go to MAPPERTON.

Sayer is learning to explore like Crusoe , as indicated by the bruise on his forehead . Lol The badges of boyhood.

The badges of boyhood, being a younger brother and of being 1 and finding your feet 😂

You have to put same jute mats on the soil fix them and than put gras and flower seets on it. We do that on the sites of our highway canyons. It works very good to fix the soil.
