Restoring A $7,000 Mansion: Finishing The Basement Rebuild (Pouring Foundation!)

[@kimberlyrubino2791]

we need to see a video where we meet Mrs Roman and the kiddos!

[@guzzimon61]

Roman is way more than just and Arm Wrestling champion. He seems like an awesome guy and Cole is lucky to have him available. Glad he is able to utilize his engineering skills and actually put them to practice ! Shout out to Roman !!

[@dreaanas]

I love the way Roman’s mind works. He’s a thinker, problem solver and a hard worker. Reminds me of my Dad’s ability to do anything he set his mind to. My Dad was from Marshalltown, Iowa. Don’t know what part of Iowa you guys are in but it’s beautiful country. All of you are doing a great job. Can’t wait to see the house completed.

Hi Cole! I can’t believe that I am so mesmerized by this show! I am a 67 year old grandma hoping there is a new video out! My husband is a builder so it is easy for me to follow along and know what steps come next! I can hardly wait to see this home a year from now! Keep up the great work! That Roman is a god send! His work ethics is amazing, just like yours!

My hubby was not handy and didn’t enjoy doing anything physical. We were together over half a century and he never got the concept of working on things TOGETHER. That’s the best thing for me, about watching this channel - - the TEAMWORK! Each person on this team has a certain talent and has learned the skills to contribute to the overall GOOD of CORNSTAR farm. It’s a pleasure to view.

Love the back and forth between Cooper and Cole. Working on the trucks was a beast. I love that red truck. It has character ❤ I will be happy to see this basement done. Anxious to see the upstairs started. This house is going to be solid when completed. Everyone have a great rest of the week. Harvest time coming soon.❤❤

Winter is coming very soon, and I sure hope you have those footers all below the frost line before the freeze thaw cycle starts.

Daddy Cornstar-thanks for the reminder that big rigs come with big responsibilities. It’s easy to get mesmerized by big rig work and forget that every time a rig is in motion-it’s a potential killing machine. You are a great grandfather!

[@amethystmoonflower7543]

These guys are some of the hardest working guys on youtube! The way they do all the work on the farm and house and still be able to churn out nearly daily content is just amazing! I love your videos so much! ❤

[@adamandrewsMT]

They are hard working. Forsure. And amazing people. But far from the hardest working. KZbin the word "Oil Rig" I grew up on a farm and wish so badly my family was able to support me farming along side them but we're not as lucky as Cornstars. So I'm stuck on an Oil Rig.

[@tonileigh8660]

The problem with that is, other than the computer work and occasional meetings, Cole does very little actual farm work anymore. This channel used to be about a young farmer and we saw what was going on with the farm every episode. Now it's "Cole the home remodeller". At least we are finally seeing Cooper doing things actually farm related and getting a break from Cole yelling all the time because he has those ear plugs in even when there's nothing loud happening.

[@georgefarning69]

Great job!! Thx for the video. Cole, Roman, Cooper, and Zack, the 4 of you are definitely the little engines that could!!

I have the evolution saw. I use the blade that came with it and one bought from Harbor freight. When I need to change a blade, I swap in the spare and take the dull blade to my local saw sharpening shop to get sharpened and it becomes the new spare. Sharpening is pretty cheap too.

Cole!! Did you see Roger Wakefield’s reaction to your plumbing job? There were some points that he brought up about how to vent it before you pour the concrete floor. These videos are awesome and I’m always looking forward to the next one!

[@lpschick7237]

DC so glad you talked about safety with having littles around.!!! Cole something to should think about for your parents house & your family home. Put locks up high on any exterior doors. My daughter got on a chair & was just tall enough to unlock the door. I was up putting laundry away when I hard a car horn honking non stop. I look downstairs & see the door standing open & my heart stopped. 😳. Thank God she was just standing by the road. The dog ran out the door & she was trying to chase after him. Not only did we put latch hooks up high we got door alarms that were battery operated. They had peel & stick on the backs. When turned on if they lost contact it sounded a very loud alarm. Can never be safe enough when it comes to our children. Just when you think you checked off all the safety measures something like this happens to remind you.

Cole, have your editor add a compressor/limiter to the audio when editing. Because you have plugs in you tend to shout. Without having to change your behavior you can fix this simply in the mix. A compressor/limiter either free or from Waves software will solve this instantly every time. Cheers!

[@Devina210]

Yeah, some people mentioned several videos ago how they couldn't keep watching because they couldn't stand how much Cole yells. Ever since then, I've noticed how much he yells also. I'll keep watching, but not enjoying the yelling. I hope your suggestion is noticed and utilized.

[@dustinbaker531]

Yeah unfortunately either need to pull the earplugs when narrating or correct it in post production. The yelling is making good videos unwatchable without manually changing volume every few seconds.

[@farmtruck9885]

Good advice but seems he doesn't care. Every video people make comments about his elevated voice. Seems he does it on purpose. He says he couldn't do this without his viewers but when his viewers ask him to stop talking loud, he does nothing about it.
