Shout out to you GREG in Australia! What a kind gesture. Who would have thought Volley Ball Shoes? So, so glad that they work so great. God bless.

[@iCollabor8]

From the look of them they are Dunlop Volley tennis shoes that all our Aussie tennis stars grew up with. They have a fine finned rubber like sole that sticks - at one stage they were making copies with steel toes so tradies could wear them on site

[@paulgreen1918]

Add you can versions with magnets for tin roofs.

[@prettysimplemum]

Volleys!

[@vivaldi1236]

Kudos to Greg from NSW for gifting volleyball shoes to Heath and keeping him safe. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@antem77]

Go the volleys, great job Greg 😉

[@wigglewiggle3789]

Dunlop Volley's, the only shoes to wear when roofing. Made on Australia.

[@katemetho72]

True.

[@shadegarden7375]

Playing with the children and family👏🏻👏🏻😍🤩

[@wayneduvall3385]

in the years you have been on the mountain you guys have made it into a beautiful place to call home

[@blackdog7275]

You are one hard working man, that's old school

[@karlaharrington1]

Looks like you have THREE new kids about ready to join the family. Wow!!! What a blessing. Wonderful video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@k.j.2481]

Boy, your life has sure changed over the last 3 years. Look at that table full of adults and almost adults. But they're still your kids who played in the water in the stream by your recently purchased "Poppy Ranch." What a life.😊

[@alleycatvietnam]

" Bloody Well Done " Greg......

[@randycornell9796]

I just want to give a shout out to Greg!! Thanks for keeping Heath safe on the roof!! Keep up the great work!! It sure is coming along nicely!! Stay safe my friend.🤓👍🤓👍Randy.

[@Faworki]

Watching life happen at the RedPoppy Ranch makes me smile. Thanks you guys for including us the viewers in the “ good feels” of home

[@rbrack54]

I still love your oldest sons laugh, it is so honest.

[@scragmanw]

Your kids are great!

[@tameraniessen-byers2607]

Great show again my son and I both enjoy your show, I am 65 and he is 46 we talk about what we liked about your show and makes it fun to see how different but alike we are, keep it coming and thanks for the pleasures you give us.

[@lyndastephens1625]

No pun intended, but Greg literally saved your life! Thank you, and I think I can speak for 99% of us, Greg!

[@BS-ne5cr]

Thank you Greg!

[@JohnTalbot-k6xi]

See some nice Blade work on the road !!

[@angelsarrived2642]

I don't think their will be a day that you won't have a project to do and you can relax. Relaxing is not in your vocabulary. It's not a bad thing to be active, but the word vacation also would bond your memories 😊 for when the years pass when you need to slow down. Our world is changing quickly and years pass without us realizing the beauty of G-Ds creations. G-D Bless you and family.

[@SuperDolly64]

Bandit is such a dear sweet little herder xxxlove his little cameos xx

[@Yeet808]

I have been watching this journey from beginning to end for YEARS. Learning abs soaking up information you’ve been teaching. Watching the family grow up. It’s always comforting watching your videos.

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

Scrap wood is great to burn. It never goes to waste. It’s looking good. 👍💖💙👍🇬🇧

[@wildbill23c]

Definitely...as well as mistakes from projects LOL. Although I've dug through the scrap wood pile several times and used several pieces along the way too.

[@joelongrid7625]

The gravel is such a wise investment. Looking fantastic.

[@marygordon3032]

Thanks Heath and Cedar for sharing your great videos. Blessings! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯🦃

[@williamdunham8421]

I look forward to your video two time a week.

[@dannycarter8207]

Every video you do is like a story. Thanks.

[@williamholloway2564]

good thing you have a video that lays out the greatest wood burring stove created.

[@GeorgiaWoodsHomesteading]

Thank you Greg! I love seeing the family moments 🥰

[@carlitomatti8717]

Greg, what a nice guy. I wear a size 12 🤣

[@gardentours]

That's very nice that Greg sent you those shoes👟👟 🇦🇺 👍Our neighbor in the garden is also from Australia and he is so nice.

[@carollove8752]

Except for Shawn James ( my selfreliance) here on KZbin I've never seen a harder worker than this man. God bless you and your family!

[@rybfish76]

Thank you for another great story! Love from SF! ✌

[@sktyby]

Just looking at how far it's come. Beautiful. I still remember the episode where you explained that inspector telling you to just sell it! Bwahaha! It just cracks me up. Your homestead is incredible.

[@wildbill23c]

He should call that inspector back up there for a visit LOL.

[@1yabeyabe]

One of those picture Christmas cards should suffice 😁

[@laruedouglas7972]

The babies are so adorable. 🤗

[@hvnfun8601]

Always good to see a new video.

[@xwiick]

Thank you Greg

[@joemizer]

You’re a little boy acts just like you, you should be proud. 🙂 pretty awesome

[@kendallricker9633]

Have you considered, with the metal roof and porch on your shed, putting a gutter that would drain into a water trough for the goats. Might address a future erosion issue if you do get a heavy rain.

[@thorzyan]

A watering use cistern seems like a no brainer with all that roof square footage- great idea!

[@mobayguy]

Good point - Was thinking a couple episodes ago that the back of the workshop will need directed drainage from the roof else erosion.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

Great minds think alike! You’d need to direct the overflow from the trough sensibly to avoid both erosion and a muddy morass around the trough.

[@katerina9159]

That’s so nice of greg, thank you greg

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

I hope you consider installing a concrete pad for that geni. It would probably act like a plate compactor and vibrate into the ground. A pad would guarantee stability and be able to secure it in place. I would recommend some rubber footers under the geni so the vibrations are dampened.

[@heatherlaird-mcleod3271]

Roof looks great Heath what a fantastic job😊

[@russellwatters5891]

Kudos for the new roof shoes! The "patio" roof is looking sweet, just a few more projects and you can start the springtime stuff...lol Love ya'll ❤

[@conniepleasantnails]

Awe…how cool a viewer sent shoes ❤️ Nice video as always

[@mindi.m]

The porch looks good! I agree, it complements the house perfectly. Nice tactic with the basketball court! 😆👍 The house looks full of love!

[@mikeoneil2281]

i always look forward to your vids and of course your stories

[@debrapurvis4408]

Wonderful to see your you family thrive in these times. Hi from Australia xx

[@TDiem-vh9zv]

Cedar, your oldest daughter Sage is your spitting image. Amazing!

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

What a beautiful video happy thanks giving to you all. Sending god's blessings and safety from Australia xxxx

[@Tryagainson]

You sir, scare me with that table saw

[@SourBogBubble]

Soup on tge coldest days are the best especially if it's been made with love.😎🤙🦅

[@RelentlessHomesteading]

Minor suggestion: saw the glass doors in the backdrop of the goat barn. Just thinking you might want to put some fence material or similar over that. You know 'kids' will be 'kids' - and these goats get to roughhousing and one may end up going into your barn the hard way. You've likely already thought of that. We still love seeing your place coming together so nicely. All the best Heath !

[@lindajwilson9848]

So much done!! 30minutes here, ???? for you all! I love the happy faces: Good Farm Life!

[@jono9549]

great to see those projects get the completed checkmark!! Looks good

[@mick_0359]

Young Read is bunch of energy you have wonderful kids .... the old faithful Dunlop Volley they are great for playing the red clay surface as well...

[@cathyjones3403]

👏👏👏👏👏 love watching the kids as much as I love listening to you tell us all these amazing stories. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Children are such a blessing.

[@andrewrobertson972]

Love when you show the back in time clips. Shows what is achievable when you persevere.

[@tommysamuelson9963]

I have found that crushed slag from iron production works great for dealing with clay. The commercial name for it in Sweden is Paddex. It reacts with the Clayton and bonds for a durable surface. We use it for horse in closures. Works great. I love your work!

[@rogerrabbit6522]

I remember using coal ashes

[@nsaanity]

I believe that is what his neighbor busted wagon got for his driveway. They don't do KZbin videos anymore from what I can gather.

Been waiting for this one from my favorite Peps RPR ! 😁👍

[@jamesboris1233]

You or the hard man I ever see and the family to that is the reason you have what you have

[@sonora108]

Down here in NW Nevada we use a lot of this same stuff a mixture of clay, sand and gravel/crushed rock. It's know as roadbase around here. I put down and spread over 125 yards on our driveway. Packs down well especially after a rain or two.

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB Looks great and will be so handy!! I can almost see hay stacked under the far end of the new porch area!! I am cleaning up a lot of leaves and junk around my barn and getting it burned. My driveway is back to its 2 car size again! Lot of scrap wood and branches got cut up and added to the wood stack. Morning fire to take the chill off the house is wonderful too, but we get a few days of low 70s before a cold front comes thru next Friday. Any kind of progress done in winter is bonus but my 73 yr old body is not impressed!! LOL

[@andrethib]

I'm a recent subscriber and I've been catching up on your content, have been enjoying it immensely. I have a suggestion for you, I apologize if it's already been discussed (I'm not fully caught up yet). You mentioned that you want to expand the porch on the off-grid cabin at some point, but you'd prefer not to disturb the trees. What if you added a raised deck to the side of the cabin? it could be on either side, whichever works out best, and you could connect it to the front porch for a wraparound effect. You could make it quite large, like 15'x15', that would give you plenty of room to sit and socialize, and you could even add a grill for outdoor cooking.

[@lindacarruthers3423]

I enthusiastically agree . Not only would it look charming ,welcoming , and unique , it would be lovely to lounge about elevated above the sloping hill . Think of the life they could live hanging about on the deck in the woods .

[@thomasfleming2593]

Happy Holidays Season. I truely enjoy your videos. Thank you for all your time and effort spent to post them.

[@Magnolia-Urban-Farm]

Looks Great Health...Job well done!!!

[@linnsoltwedel]

So true. Used our wood stove for the first time last night, here in Norway its freezing these days, so it was nice :)

[@wildbill23c]

The gravel you are using there kind of looks like what they call Reject Sand here at the Pit in Emmett. It has rocks, and quite a bit of sand, and some dirt in it...packs really well so it makes for a great base material.

[@mccylk4441]

It will became almost concrete if you use vibrating cylinder.

[@justamom863]

It looks like it compacts well but will still be a pain on his road and driveway during spring for the mud season.

[@mobayguy]

Great progress Heath! The number and depth of the stack of projects you have going into Winter are coming off well. Everything is coming together nicely so you can keep well occupied inside this Winter. I'm certain you've considered water run-off and erosion round back of the workshop. Hope you all had a Blessed Thanksgiving - Sure looks like it ☺

[@dougamici4736]

I look forward to your videos every week. You certainly do have an awesome family and homestead. You are a lucky guy.

[@Isabelle-cn9ur]

an amazing work again! what a beautiful property!

[@ronaldclark2624]

Nice progress, nice video! Love to see people and especially children laugh! The Prince of the power of the Air has given you much trouble but has never stopped you! Grace and perseverance have always won for you! You are generous and NOT Narcissistic people! Love your videos! Ron USA

[@scottphillips7108]

Nicely done mate [Greg in New South Wales] love it when someone has a considerate intelligent plan to address safety first... Godspeed...

[@rickiewaffle9594]

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.❤

[@pietroslife9903]

it's so nice to watch your videos and your work. i hope i become as good as you

[@wildbill23c]

Volley Ball shoes, hmm, next time I need to trim tree branches over the barn roof, I'll have to remember that and see if I can find a pair of them. Great thinking Greg...and thanks for sharing Heath. Jeez, Reed is really growing, seems like not that long ago he was so little. The only reason they're helping clean up the firewood you cut is so they can use the basketball hoop HAHA!!! Seems about normal LOL, kids...gotta love 'em. When they're grown and gone you'll wish they were still there.

[@mcsilustrador]

Your family is amazing!

[@RVthereyetmemaw]

Hope your Thanksgiving was winderful, full of family, love an you all being well

[@shadetreewelding]

I live in central hellinois, and we have a a product called road mix, it is a mix of 3/4" crushed limestone with fines in it. Like your pit run the fines and gravel pack into a nice firm base and lock together. That is generally what we use outside building in our barn we lined it with straight ag lime (limestone fines from the quarry) it is a great base for inside buildings, but will get mushy when wet or when the frost thaws in the spring.

[@christopherforster6555]

Lovely video , from a lovely family happy Christmas.

[@kenvangoe9358]

You are definitely in crunch time Heath.But as with all your other projects they will get done at some point. It's great this time of year that the kids and family come in out of the cold to enjoy games and joke around as that is what holidays are for. Be careful and stay safe my friend . God love you.

[@reneegladson7732]

Heath, you and Cedar are truly blessed with wonderful children and y'all are great parents. I'm glad Greg in Australia, knew what kind of shoes you needed on the metal roof and was kind enough to send them to you. I'm sure it will make your job so much easier. Take care and God bless you and your family. By the way, Reed is the spitting image of you.

[@2005Colly]

I do appreciate the fact that you get stuff done. I would constantly be taking forever making sure something was done right...granted you enjoy doing stuff a 2nd and 3rd time.
