Still using the torch to soften the pipe I suggest so long ago. If someone else said it too either way I'm glad u saw it. back when u started the pump house

[@whirledpeas5717]

I'm crying I'm laughing so hard at Leon trying to ram the tamper.

[@grahamlifejourney]

Yes Ruby. 😂😂❤

[@sst6358]

Me too 🤣❤️

[@caseykelso1]

That was hilarious.

[@Vixinaful]

Oh his jealousy knows no boundaries.

[@BobL417]

I really Like Leon. My Grandpa's first name was Leon. He died in 1927 before I was born, so I'll just adopt Leon.

[@ladymoongoddess]

Leon ramming the tamper, and the turkey coming for it’s bed time story,…….TV can’t compete with this channel!!!! ❤😊

[@NeoStoicism]

I love when Josh calls Erin 'Big Country'

[@gibbs000810007]

Ellie reads to the Turkey every night. That has to be the most wholesome thing I have ever seen on the internet... ever. She is ADORABLE!! You are great parents. You are great builders. You are great farmers. You are a great KZbinr with some pretty darn awesome skills. Ya'll are a great family. Much love from a friend in Texas! Keep on it, Big Country!!

[@anngunn7447]

Yes. The best thing on the internet I've found in a long, long time.

[@j.a.r.family2576]

Y'all's oldest boy (Carter?) Is going to be an outstanding man one day. The boy is getting so much knowledge. From home school, farming,hard work,loving family and most of all ,work ethic and respect.

[@catherinecarney2507]

I can't keep the two boys straight either and I learn, or used to learn, 200 names of students each year. One is Hayden and one is Carter. That is the sum total knowledge I have. I know the two dogs are Fergus and Freddie, which is which? No clue.

[@ORSkie]

@@catherinecarney2507 oldest boy is Carter.

[@MrPaulviles]

He has transformed so fast into a young man now! Erin still looks 21 but has teenagers! 😂

[@Albertwildhorseshoer]

And the kids, soon to be beyond teen adults have developed compassion for others (including animals), responsibility, wisdom.

[@SiFuJasper]

When forecasting rain, meteorologists contact Josh to see when he scheduled a concrete pour.

[@marshalltille7770]

Funny, but pretty accurate.

[@johntatum8088]

Yes, that seems true.

[@ORSkie]

😂🤪🤣

[@nancymayberry27]

Ellie is so cute! I hope she keeps her sweetness she grows. That's positive to happen because her mom is a sweetheart too. And the kid's being helpful warms my heart. I can hardly believe the excitement over the concrete in rain, but because you were able to get it done should be a 🥳 party! Leon has been away from the build for a bit! With all them girls around he needs to impress them with his strength and showing who's the boss in the pasture.

[@Lowellian1]

I do miss Leon’s visits and inspections too!

[@TheMighty2222]

The only thing that can tear me away from Sunday football!!!

[@robertallenmcdowell]

It won't be long and Ellie has her own spin-off show about Mom & Dad, loving animals and how to color on anything.

[@julianadams3738]

Another great video guys! I love to see how as a family you work together to tackle anything. You must end each day totally exhausted knowing that tomorrow you have to do it all again. What a great work ethic you are teaching your children. Erin I think that you editing is fabulous, with the cutaways to the animals, birds, trees and nature.

[@diofwaita]

[@kathbeaumont6713]

What an absolute up and downer, your so unlucky with the rain, I was on the edge of my seat worrying how much rain you were going to get, and I could have cried when you were so unlucky with the water pipe but as you do often you got straight on and repaired it, I love following your journey, such s beautiful family, you deserve the best , sending hugs xx ❤️❤️ Kath UK 🇬🇧

[@NatetheHoofGuy]

I’d like to think I could do something like this on my own…..but I wouldn’t have the patience. Impressive!

[@KayInMaine]

Ellie, Leon, and the turkey.....adorable! I couldn't believe it when you hit the water pipe and how quickly the water rose to the surface....yikes, Josh! But, you (and Erin) know how to fix anything. Looking forward to seeing this build too. It's going to be pretty big! Awesome.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋how are you doing?

[@target844]

This show why it is a really good idea to put warning tapes above pips so you know where they are. In the past scrap wood has sometimes been used too. Even if it starts to rot you will notice it in the ground.

[@dave1135]

16:00 be a good idea to have safety caps on the end of that rebar, can prevent a nasty accident if someone slips while working around the trench

[@robertgoudy3223]

Another successful adaptation to a setback. Never thought I would be so excited about watching a concrete pour. Onward and upward. 👍

[@michaelwilliams7481]

At last, the rain eased enough to get the concrete in place for your foundation for the bedroom extension. And your children gave a hand, that will make them feel they helped with part of the build. You have the knack of that extra touch with your children. That is why we watch you so much. Love from Mike. ❤

[@denisesherman7164]

An exciting day, here we go again. When you poured the footings for the frame Erin had all strapped to her back…. Now here is Ellie helping with the foundation for the bedroom m wing and Carter is part of the crew too. Time flies…. Blessings for a bed em wing build!!!

[@zlatniljiljanak]

While all other videos and channels are poisoning our youth this is one of the few channels left that shows great examples of love family and education. Much respect to you guys you are my role models of great parenting. Much love ❤️

Excellent work ; in spite of the rain

[@CovenGraphics]

I like to watch this channel and others within the homesteading world because the world needs more families like yours. I feel an appreciation for families like yours with children who actively participate in hard work. The best part of yours is, they want to do it! Ally's simple, innocent act of trying to help her dad climb up out of the foundation, made my heart smile, 😊 and I had to post an expression of my gratitude and let you know how your family is so wonderful to watch. This world needs more families like your achievement has turned out! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ THANK YOU! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ YOU TWO ARE ROLL MODELS FOR THE WORLD TO EMULATE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ❤WELL DONE❤

Another successful project milestone. This one is thanks to the 3rd guy in the concrete crew and the new narrator at 19 minutes. Hats off to the crew!

[@wayneknicely1873]

The best part of hard work is the stagged accomplishments as you check off each process! Your house is a living example of what you as a family can do. You just finish another STRONG foundation! A house, a building, a marriage, or a child. You have to do the work to set all the details carefully thought out secure and strong! Then you build on that foundation!! Another great video!!

[@lieuwina]

Leon is so hilarious trying to on the tamper and is quickly pacified when Erin gives him a stroke. That turkey and Elly your animals love you all. You are certainly starting to crush it now with the foundations, so glad that you could pour the foundation. Now let the build start again. Exciting.

[@kimpike4362]

All hands on deck for this pour! It takes a family, & a barnyard!

[@brendalongenecker8169]

[@NikosPropertyShow]

Glad y'all were able to pour that concrete!! I was able to pour my footings on my duplex build with some nice hot weather here in Chattanooga, Tennessee!!

[@deborahfarr2201]

Leon is the greatest. If you need rain, lay concrete or shingles or just wash your car. The rain gods are watching 😂😂 AWW Carter's lil voice is changing. That makes me want my boys small again. Almost 😂😂 It was such a shock when my boys did it. They grow up and you can't slow it down. First time I realized that was when their voice dropped. Wake them up one morning and you're talking to a whole new person lol

[@susanjones8748]

We noticed Carter’s voice changing too. He is definitely growing up. It is such a blessing to get to watch these kids growing up and maturing. Mom and dad are definitely role models. Ellie is just too cute! Love how her brothers watch out for her, and include her in some of their adventures.

Like many here, I have watched your family from the beginning, through all of the high moments and the low moments.

I've been watching since you were in the RV and always enjoy you clips, but this week really struck me how much the kids have grown. This week Ellie was in there helping with the concrete pour, and I remember when she was riding in the backpack carrier when the A-frame was going up.

[@MrPaulviles]

I can’t believe how fast the kids have grown up! I have been busy since covid and have only just caught up with the build and was shocked, Carter has really started to become a young man, Ally is a young lady! I grew up helping my mum n dad build our family home, some of the best memories ever come from that. So happy to see you all getting that enjoyment now.

[@thomasjonharrison6575]

As hard as I try, not very hard, I just cannot seem to stop watching your uTube channel. I learn alot. But I see a lot of things I might have done differently also. But it all seems to come out in the wash at the end, no matter what challenge it turns out to be for y'all. I blame it all on Josh for always making it rain by scheduling pouring concrete. Maybe if you used mixed on site rather than ready-mixed, perhaps it would be less likely to rain, you think? Mixed on site seems to work better when it rains, go figure. LOL! 😅😂🤣😂 That bit about Elley always reading to the turkey at around 7:30 pm is a classic. You might need to trade mark that one, you think. And that bit about Leon wanting to take on and headbutting the Wacker Packer is absolutely priceless. It could only happen with you folks. Great video. 👍 Thanks for sharing. Bravo. 👏 Namaste! 🙏 Peace be upon you and may God's blessings always go with you. Live long and prosper. 🖖
