Roman is honestly probably the best person you could have ever hired. That man knows hard work, he's loyal, and seems like he is such a genuine person.

[@waltertaljaard1488]

Roman belongs to the sort of men, who defeated the nazi's, and then build up a nation from scratch into a world leading superpower. In spite of communism. Eastern European Slavic people are amazing.

[@texasoutlook60]

And he's smart!!

[@Lylo-mj8ek]

Amen ❤

[@AndrewPL5]

You don’t even know him or who he is off camera…

[@lucindanease8210]

I have been a cornstar fan since the beginning I love your introduction. Don't change anything! Some people are never happy unless they are complaining. If they don't like it they don't have to watch you have plenty of fans who love you just the way you are! By the way I'm glad you finally started giving Roman his cornstar farm shirts. He really has earned them!!!!

[@opendstudio7141]

I’m waiting for Edwards first Intro debut. It’ll be really cute.

Admit it, if it weren't for Roman you wouldn't be watching these videos. Lonely old ladies getting moist.

I remember being here since the day when you first talked clearing up the farm trees and scrap metal a couple years back. Great progress has been made Cole.

[@JoaninFlorida]

Yep. He was still a college kid.

I'm with you. Cole is a hard worker. Making the best of a family heirloom.

I’ve seen men work hard , but you guys don’t stop . The house is gonna be amazing, Nave is going to be so happy. ❤🎉 Always happy to see working on the farm also . Cooper is amazing and so is Zach they make a great team. Your father is such a good man , who raised two to good sons and you will too . God bless you all .

[@brianmyers2368]

Cole in this video I noticed you have your cinder block under the post on their sides they are not designed to be used in that direction you could have them crush under load like that I know it makes a great surface for a post or jack but. please use them with the webs up through another board on top for a flat surface. Keep safe your putting a large load on them in that direction.

[@CharGunn2018]

Loved seeing the progress the last 4 years since I’ve started watching your videos. Proud of you!

[@SandyT-nx1gs]

Cole had been around huge loud machinery all his life. In order to be heard when they are in use he has had to speak loud and clear. They are now working with loud power tools which also necessitates he needs to be able to speak loud and clear at times. He is used to, and conditioned due to the type of work he does, to having to increase his vocal volume by necessity. Keep in mind here wears ear plugs often. He's doing an awesome job working and taking us along on his journey. Keep up the great work Cole, I enjoy hearing all about what's going on. Stay safe!! Roman needs a raise...just sayin'.

[@ritarackley9635]

You guys are amazing! When my husband and I took on building on to our house after we retired I thought, what are we doing. We took one hard step at a time and love the finished project. I prayed God help us through this step, and somehow He always did. We are cheering you on in each video. God bless you all.

[@texasoutlook60]

Where's a will there's a way, Cole's motto! Good job guys!!

I marvel at how well thought out every step of this project is. I am left to wonder when you use the demolition saw just how much of that grunge you describe on your skin has made it into your lungs. Please stay safe. We want you to survive this project!

Hi Cole and Roman, The plumber you used for his KZbin video 's has done a video replying your basement video for hard PVC plumbing and the Aragon gas flex plumbing lines video. He has made a wonderful compliment saying you guys are doing a excellent job but he does suggest a few corrections like doing a test of all your seams and system before you pour the concrete flooring and Incase all the joins. And he wanted to add some vertical vents never floor drains. This is a plumber in Texas. Please check out his video before pouring your basement concrete floor. All the best from NJ.

With how difficult it was to remove that last wall, you gotta hand it to the original house builders. They used the right materials to make sure that wall was super sturdy! It was a hard day of work, but every day you make so much progress. It's so amazing to see all you've done since the beginning!

[@william6526]

Ive noticed in this video Cole has turned down the volume of his voice compared to the last 4 videos. It makes for a much better viewing experience when you dont have to go to the CC option or turn off the sound. Well done Cole you are a pleasure to listen too when you arent yelling .

[@greggkiest1069]

[@sharonwilson8208]

You're going to have to share your new toy with Cooper and Zach. 😅 Guys and their tools, boys and their toys. I must admit, watching you guys has made my back and shoulders, arms,wrists, well just ache all over. I've helped my Dad with the heavy work just around our home and yard, including cutting up wood, splitting it, stacking, and carrying it inside down the stairs, back up the stairs, down with a load, up the stairs. Then, cleaning the chimney, always a fun chore. 😅

[@ronporter610]

And that spade bit and electric breaker is why you need to read the comments. I mentioned those when you first started digging. Not patting myself on the back, just saying you would have saved much time and effort.

Love the video’s Cole. Just an observation I made. When setting up your cinder blocks to put the jacks on them turn them where the holes are in position like you were going to lay them in a wall and put a 2x6 over the holes.The way you have them the weight and pressure can crush them. Roman and yourself are amazing and crushing this remodel great work.

[@corytheriault2365]

I'm one of those who complained about the Cooper cam in last couple videos. (Just found the transitions between remodel and maintenance jarring) but today's going too dady didn't grate at all! Looking at it I think some was the editing style and some is personality (and no I'm not bashing cooper) the cooper vids you flash unexpectedly between a very outgoing cole (some might say manic😂) and much more laid back cooper where today the editing seemed switch at more natural breaks (you seen us break up walls before talk too dad 😅) and daddy cornstar seem a bit closer too cole in personality and energy

That spads you have is what we use to have on a air powered jack hammer. We called it a clay spade. We used it for tunneling around water and sewer lines. Some of the old guy's called it a electric digging iron. Great tool.

[@JohnathanBruner-t2d]

We appreciate these great video of as telling us things like the income from wind turbines and each separate business. Outstanding. The presence of wind turbines can also increase the value of Iowa farmland. In one example, a farm with wind turbines sold for $12,200 per acre, with the turbines adding an additional $225,000 in annual income through wind energy leases.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Years ago I had a house built in the middle of the civil war - 1863 - and it's foundation was sort of pyramid shaped. All that same rock in your foundation... 15 ft wide at the bottom 10 feet down... and 2 feet wide at the rim. THAT was very fun. I was wondering if you'd run into a similar challenge, but luckily you didn't. It's been fun watching you tackle these challenges. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@justnews9738]

Awesome work guys.

[@robertcarrillo1960]

chomps is actually really good. I haven't had the jalapeno one but I will look for them next time. This snack is not only tasty but its one of the few snacks I can have as a diabetic. Zero sugar.

[@jakeballamis6348]

Suggestion for the concrete saw (used to cut concrete and asphalt professionally): Get an in-line hose valve, then tape the hose to the handle at an angle that allows the water stream to hit the blade. (or you can buy water kits that can be installed on the saw) Then open the valve just enough to get a good stream of water on the blade. The water isn't to keep dust down. That's a positive side effect. The water is to keep the blade cool which prevents the diamond teeth from wearing out/breaking off prematurely. The only time I ever ran a dry blade was when I putting the green cuts on newly poured concrete. Another benefit to this is that one person can be cutting and the other person can be doing other tasks rather than holding the hose.

[@johnbucklerfarms]

I bet Roman will be Happy when you Get That Trap Finished!

[@TimInKCMO]

When concrete blocks are used for temporary supporting, you need to use them in the same orientation as they would be permanently installed. If the concrete block is sideways, and a vertical board is placed on the side web of the block, you are putting a lot of load on about 1-3/4" of that concrete web. Concrete is great for compression, but there is no steel in a concrete block, so the side of the web has almost no tension strength.

[@shadegarden7375]

You guys are getting it done!!👏🏻👏🏻

[@AndreatheDoria]

You and Roman your bodies are getting exhausted. You’re been working on that basement hard for 3 months which probably converts to 4-5 months at the gym day. Construction work like this is major wear and tear on the body.
