I love watching your kids be kids, no phones or tables in their faces, outside playing and exploring the world and watching you both work, add in you two are crazy cute together, I wish you all many long happy years together ❤

[@sharongiesbrecht8417]

At least this way, with the rain, you know where the water wants to flow, and then now you got to redirect. Good deal. Job well done. Just love being out there watching it all happen.

[@amandathompson6381]

Looks great! If I were you I'd build a huge screened porch of the cabin instead of just a deck. You could double your living space. Can't wait to see what's next!

[@debbieomalley3451]

Now that's a great idea!!!

[@ValerieFulmer]

Great idea!

[@UPDT8243]

Excellent idea!! Specially for kids, a safe place to play, while mom is busy. So happy for them.!!

[@hoppiness1]

I think putting in a 3/4 wrap around-type deck (to make room for their add-on) and enclosing a large portion of it and leaving some of it as just decking would be the best option. It would be the best of both combined...

[@pupndan1982]

I could for one go without the calls of nature!

[@elizabethbarberis9058]

I think it's good you got that storm - now you know how to contour the land to keep it moving around and away from your new home from home...

[@donnamullins2089]

Now you know the water path. Children are growing so fast. Thanks for the video.

[@78ramcharger53]

Her smile ,laugh and her humor is incredible and infectious.

[@paulafoster2607]

It's a good thing to be able to see what effect rain has on roads and the property. Beautiful family!

[@seascape185]

I can’t believe how much you do by yourself! 🎉🎉

[@sythmc8600]

I always think the same thing! I’m exhausted watching, some days 😂

[@TheCebulon]

Crazy, how sad that music at the end makes me every time I watch your videos. I could watch much more of your amazing life.

[@juliesmith7444]

I agree with you. as soon as the music starts, I think “Oh no! The video is ending!” 😢

[@christinesmith734]

Same! I'm always so sad that it's the of the video.

[@michaellove9831]

New culvert is a good long term solution, maybe add a little stone all around uphill side and at ground level at either end as an indicator of location relative to road.

[@matilda2631]

Y’all are the greatest couple!!! What a gift these videos are! Love this darling family. ❤🎁

[@ws775]

Just type “you”. It’s easier.

@ Ok, grammar Nazi, I’m from Austin, Tx, y’all is grammatically correct, period. 🤨

[@rongray4847]

Love your Mountain property very scenic. The cabin looks really good sitting there now the colour blends right in. Looks like the shower is ready to use, it’s coming together. Love seeing the kids playing around and just doing what they do. Good luck moving forward!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@Hollybank5]

It takes a lot of planning and a lot of work to develop raw land into a homestead !! You’re doing a great job ❤

[@CherrieMcKenzie]

Like you I'm building an outdoor kitchen and you quickly discover that there are your plans and then there is the reality. But you seem to be handling it with ingenuity which always helps. Good luck!!

[@mdketzer]

Do you two ever have arguments, I cannot even imagine you two not constantly laughing, so adorable you and your little family are!❤

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

Every couple has arguments. This couple has them as well. It’s healthy and normal.

[@mdketzer]

@ Agreed, they are always so fun. I just can’t even imagine it, but I do agree that every couple has it.

[@carolbabb4391]

I like the way you are adjusting each time a new situation comes up. It's great seeing the kids are able to learn how you guys complete each task. It takes a family, and you all are doing great .😊

[@jimbruce3923]

Now that you know where the water flows, how about a water retention/pond/resevoir some where out ofthe way?????????

[@garykuiken6191]

Knowing what happens when it rains like that, the first thing I'd consider is building a substantial dugout to store water for multiple purposes. Just a thought!!

[@indranipersad5226]

Publix didn't had any

[@lowercaseCAPS]

Hmmmm.... like a pond!

[@tjbrat44]

Y'all have MY luck!!!! Lots of wrenches doing their mixing thing!!hahaha. And NOTHING like fresh mountain water!! I live on Mount Ben Lomand in Utah..... Wouldn't trade it for the world

[@silverstitch28]

Are you getting a water tank?

[@BParis-xf7um]

I’ve been watching you from the beginning. Today is almost 11/17/24 … God bless you and your precious children. May you continue to be blessed in your journey.

[@StevenDavid-4q2]

Everything is slowly coming together, which might be a blessing. Things you should know but don't either because of unawareness or didn't think of can be corrected, which is a good thing. All those trees falling down is your firewood supply. Generally speaking firewood is cut in 16" lengths and it is good to have a couple of cords (4"x4'x8" = 128 sq. ft.) on hand. Wet wood needs to be dried so it is easy to start a fire and provide heat and not clog up the pipes with creosote. Might want to cut up those tress that fell down to start the process. Usually you'd like to have your wood dye for at least one full summer before you use it to heat with. Another point to mention. All that water you got from the rain, you try to capture it and direct it to the stream and eventually into your water holding tanks. All your water sources need to purified, which I know you know. Think long term needs in your preparation plans - 10-20 years out. Keep your vision on track and make your dreams come true. By the way, I see you're now at 1.5k in subscriptions - congratulations. Keep plugging away. Any thoughts about putting up a barn or other buildings? Got locations picked out for those future buildings? Must be part of your long term plans. Stay well and be careful!! Peace out!

[@80Jesuslovesme]

Love watching you and the family making great progress. God bless you and the family

[@george8873]

Should consider digging out where that little, normally dry, creek is and putting in a dam too to create a small pond as a water source that'll last a little while after it rains. Will keep you from having to trek over the mountain for water so much.

[@petersassytruth3069]

I was soooooo worried about the unknown rain potential and how it might have affected your property after North Carolina. Fortunately, you now can see what and how the water will react around the areas you've carved out. If I were you, I'd take a hike with your drone to see how that rainfall effected the mountaintops behind your cabin just to be on the safe side.

[@dmvorrosso]

you guys are simply amazing, God bless you all.

[@rosemariethomas4706]

Glad to see how far you've come with new homestead. Love the family

[@wendyrumbel4354]

I’m always excited to see what happens next, never disappointed. Your children are growing up way to fast, they are adorable. God Bless your beautiful family.

[@misschris662]

You are doing a great job with everything you touch. Your children grow up with common sense and love for the land ❤ I am following you since the start of, and I must say I am absolutely delighted and impressed who you have become as a family! It’s a treat to follow you ❤

[@VondaPotts-ce8bi]

Oh my gosh your kids are growing up so fast and they are going to be very tall

[@lmk22philly]

Yay family time. My girls and I adore you! Thanks for being you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gilbertmercado462]

Your kids came out like Spencer and MacKenzie they are so inventive and using what is around them to have fun. It was great to watch them. Rain, it is all over the world thankfully it was not apocalyptical as in so many other parts of the world. Great to see the new culvert go in to help with water drainage. So it was a great video and until the next one be safe and prosper.

[@anareilley7727]

😂😂😂 yes Spencer that was an awfully loud waterfall

[@OldJoeBlows]

How lucky to have one so close.

You two are simply amazing for all you can and have accomplished on that mountain! Be proud, I know we are all proud of you! Please send the rain south we are BURNING up!

[@darincarlin]

I'm straight as an Apache warrior's arrow but daaaam @ 4:57 Spencer has been putting the work in on that dump truck. Well done.

[@deborahplyler6528]

The trees that fall down is nice for fire wood..I remember rain storms when I lived in TX down pours.

[@michaelwilliams7481]

Interesting video, that must have been a hell of a storm!! You ended up with a waterfall and a stream. This at the worst it has showed you what was needed to be improved for the future. Mackenzie, I just love hearing your laugh and smile, it puts a smile on my face. Spencer has a lot to put up with. 😊 Stay safe with the wildlife about, love from Mike. ❤

[@rickgregg554]

This was the very first KZbin channel I ever watched and I only watch a few more . I only wish they were longer and more often. That being said , this is a wonderful family and pleasure channel to watch!

[@kastah]

Wow, loved the flowers, are they really wild flowers?? Loved the beginning of the video with the leaf "rain" too, it is almost non left at my place, so waiting for the snow, brrr. Nice shower, and finished

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Wow, that’s a massive amount of rain! The sound of the water is so lovely, but I know that it causes treacherous conditions. Love watching the kids play while you work together!

[@stephenkennedy9205]

Amazing video love the interaction of you two God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@ghshinn]

You folks are having altogether too much fun.

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

I would recommend thinning the trees back from the road quite a bit. With winter snow, it could drop the trees across the road so easily. I would recommend doing the same for the area around the cabin as well. I don't know where the solar is going in but think of the fall arc of trees around that location and cut down accordingly. This is the time to start cutting firewood so it can season over the winter. Just pick two good-sized trees about 12-15 feet apart and start stacking logs in between them. I would recommend about 10 cords to start with. Too much is never a bad thing. I keep my cuttings to about 18-20 inches long. I have a jig on the saw that allows me to just slide the log to the stop, cut, and then shove the cut off the back down a ramp to the pile. When a tree is cut we stop and pile up the logs. Rinse and repeat till you run out of trees or space. I picked up some salvaged train rails and set them on concrete blocks to keep the wood off the ground.

[@stevewilson1600]

The amount of work you guys undertake is phenomenal Never a boring vlog just so much you guys do. Brilliant to see how you’ve come from day one. Awesome

[@forestlove2446]

I look forward to these videos every time!

[@janiceoldham1794]

The outdoor shower is gorgeous!! And those precious, beautiful children. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rolandtb3]

Good that you were there for the heavy rains. Alternative drainage, water source, potential future landscaping wading pond or pool.

[@Mounty621]

That rain storm was really a blessing in disguise. It's good you were able to find out the flow pattern off the hills and mountains to be able to address it now. What a magical place for you guys to escape!!

[@dennistucker1153]

Excellent video. The mix of music and the scene progression is very nice! Love you guys and thanks for sharing.

[@joeatkins4470]

boy, the tractor (and all the attachements) just makes it all possible. Great work you guys! We have had similar rainfall issues over here in France - so much devastation

[@judyphilibert6921]

Look at Spencer go with that Culvert....like an 'old hand' now! 😉 Hopefully more reliable weather ahead so that you can get the foundation in....can't wait! 😁💃🏻🎉

I can't believe that I have been watching your videos and three children it's amazing how real people make life and loving it God bless you and your family amen

[@cynthiawilliamson5905]

Just checking! Can never ever get enough!!😮😢❤

[@rosehobbs6051]

Always look forward to your videos. So glad you are living your dream and showing the children how to live your dreams.

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

If the pump has it's own pressure regulation, I'd advise to put a recycled well bladder tank, tank T, and backflow preventer between the pump and shower to stop it from short cycling so hard. It'll save wear on the pump and will also reduce surge on the inverter as well by increasing the time intervals between cycles. Also, will keep the output pressure more stable. Turn the pump on and let it cycle once to fill the bladder, then continue with taking a shower. Unless there's a pressure leak, the bladder should stay filled until the next time you use the shower. Use the same configuration and operation as a house well, just no external pressure switch.

[@jollyrogerhobbies2386]

Now you know where the water goes so you can plan the landscape accordingly. Make sure you put in more culverts and water drainage areas in. You should also clear out a small pond area in the creak bead so water can collect giving you an area big enough to pump out water for storage.

[@MarkHyde]

That you guys are still smiling and laughing is a testament to the level of professionalism and huge effort you put into the work and content. Epic video.,

[@valfunk4669]

lol I looooove u guys!!!! U guys have the same sense of humour that my hubby and I have!!!! Looooove it!!!!

[@cabman86]

This is what I did when I was living on the lake. I hung a 5 gallon bucket in the water with holes in it. Dropped a sump pump in it and used it to water my garden.

[@createandliveyourbestlife]

ANOTHER FANTASTIC RESULT, you are both visionary, skilled and passionate about all you do, including your love of nature and of course your beautiful children. Thank You again for sharing your visions and life with us 🥰👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺

Always such good quality production values in all your videos! Things shaping up so nicely around the new local.

[@soonzach4017]

Love too watch your beautiful family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋

[@kristinaostrolucanin3249]

Wow! Everything looks great! Maybe, because you do have a creek, you could build a small pool to collect water. I saw something similar in “Project Kamp”. They also have small creek that in some period of year (rainy season) have water. It cold make it easier to collect water 💦 Love you guys ❤

[@susanbartman2267]

Warms my heart to see you teaching your daughter to use the tractor.

Why not dig a dugout to store water in that location. What a marvelous place for gathering rainfall.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Wow the kid's are growing like wild weeds!!! Good job on the new shower and also the draining of water. Looking GOOD all around. Great video and God is Blessing YOU ALL!!

[@petranilla14]

Great video! Just a thought - why not make a small catchment area where you placed the bucket? Something about the size of your tractor bucket, maybe lined with some stones. That way, even if the flow slows down, water will pool there and you’ll always have a steady supply.

[@trishalyons7587]

Wow what beautiful country. If I was showering and a bear, I don’t care if it’s a cub or what. If a bear came while I was showering, I would just lose it. Snakes gross me out. I’m really afraid of snakes, but it’s really beautiful there. You’re gonna love it once you get the house built. It seemed like it was a short video. Maybe because I enjoy your vlog, and I was surprised excited to see you posted. Be safe, and good luck. I’ll see you all next week.

[@clydesmith1855]

Rain gives you a good idea as to the flow of the water. Something to think about. Also build a nice water catchment area at your creek.

[@No_Name_5672]

I love your videos. You are my favorite channel. I know you are very busy with the kids and the 2 places, but I sure wish there were more or at least longer videos. It seems that after waiting what seems like forever, the video ends right after it starts. I know I am being selfish, wanting more. That's just how much I love following along with you guys. Be safe.

[@a13Banger]

What in the world has happened?! Last time I visited the channel there were no little humans running around lol. My how time flies! Such a great channel

[@155andRising]

Think of all the free electricity you could generate with all that water flow. If only it was consistent

[@sadie4me2]

Damn! Loved watching what you are doing! You both are incredible. Still my favorite KZbin channel

[@goinggoinggone17]

Enjoy your videos so much, only that makes them not last nearly long enough.😂. Everything is coming together on the mountain. Those bears visiting though would spook me a little. The kiddos are having a blast and it’s fun to watch them explore and find unexpected ways to enjoy life. You guys are making lots of memories that will get more and more precious as you age. I know because I’ve lived long and stored up so many and so much just makes me smile remembering. Wishing you many years of sweet memories and love with your sweet family.

[@joancoleman1228]

It’s good to see where the water flows through your property, for planning purposes.

[@johnkirby6547]

Nice job, the shower looks great, hopefully moma bear keeps away while you are there. Glad you saw the water flowing so you could fix it. You could probably hookup a ram pump to fill your water tanks when the creek is flowing.

[@frankpaquet295]

Probably a good idea that the rain came through, now you know where it's going to go when you're not there. Didn't know you'd have a river nearby! Hope the bears aren't interested in the shower while you're using it!! (from Sandi)

[@chrismcnulty2119]

You should dig out a section in the stream to catch water that way that you have a little pond to work with right by the house

[@robynfedalen1777]

The shower house is so cool! Looks great. What a beautiful area you guys have , although I personally am terrified of snakes 🙀. ❤️✌🏻

[@lcwathome821]

[@jerryking9333]

There is another web sight that has a lot of parallel situations you two are facing.They had a situation with their access road and rain issues. They are a couple with a new baby and actually built a large barn and lived inside a truck camper in the barn as they were building a living space. The web sight is "Ambition Strikes". There are many stuggles that are very similar to your situations. Great videos.

[@kevincorbin6273]

Just realized watching the kids playing in the mud how many years have passed since I started watching, wow!

You are a beautiful family and I admire the teamwork you share . I'm from the Caribbean so we are not a custom to bears and snakes .

Was that hurricane Helene you encountered? The scenery is lovely and reminds me of the Blue Ridge. We live in Roanoke. Best move we ever made. God bless you all. Love watching you and your family succeed.

[@papatomsthoughts]

Spencer, two things, you need to build containment on outside of shower over the wires and plumbing, bears like to play and may want to play with hoses and wires. 2. Place is looking amazing, having that cute hoe operator assistant made my day. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@christinatom9146]

Yes, I was thinking even enclosing somewhat the shower area so there are hopefully no bear suprises while showering!
