Short Update on Fortress Restart with a couple 4 legged friends!

[@robertl7503]

Can't wait till Dave helps Alan finish the fortress.

[@originalduffmann7219]

I don't know how he sleeps. It's far away I'll work. No pay. STL. TO?

[@koningbolo4700]

Yeah that should be a giant happening... Progress galore for sure...

[@Clawson_customs]

I want to be part of the group that comes with work with him

[@johntenhave1]

Dave will just brute force progress. he knows that Alan has so many distractions progress, towards completion, is constantly slowed. Single minded focus is what is required to complete what will be a stunning achievement.

[@netrodenick4362]

Dave was such a huge help after the fire and everything. Such an amazing friend, and just all around great person.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

0:11 Les seems like a loyal friend and hard worker to me!! Always glad to see him at the Fortress !!

[@vickiepeek2279]

you'd have to be a loyal friend to come up to that mud in sandals

[@1MartinWaite]

@@vickiepeek2279well Les gets a free pedicure out of it what with his feet squelching in his sandals and covered in mud folk pay Goood money for a pedicure. 😊😊😊😊

[@justnana2256]

The fort is my favorite part. Glad it's that time of year.

[@vickiepeek2279]

FINALLY !!

[@vickiepeek2279]

Alan is my favorite part ! HaHa

[@edcglassworks5771]

You’re the “real life” Minecraft king. I love what you’re doing brother. Keep up the good work and content.

[@jimkhana007]

Wait until he gets the mine cart and tracks up and running, 😂

[@DGNTX]

I'm glad the Sparks crew is getting involved and helping with the project. I know you've been a tremendous help to them and they appreciate it. You might have to force yourself to part with some things that need to be scrapped. If you won't ever use it, then get rid of it. Sell it or scrap it. But what do I know.

[@vickiepeek2279]

Thank you Les ! You are fabulous !

[@nada7.077]

I’m sorry the old mountain truck is sick, it sure has done a lot of work and hauling up that mountain. I will miss seeing it in your videos. Glad to see the fortress, and you laying block again. This has been a really weird Spring so far, warm then cold over and over, but it’s a different cold that seeps way into the marrow of your bones. I’ve been colder this Spring than I was all winter, even during the crazy blizzards in March! Take care Wizard. See you on the next one.❤️🙏

[@MrLENNIEG]

Always nice to see Les at the Fortress with you at least you know if anything happens to you Les is there to help you or drive you out . Stay safe both of you

[@jeremygourde9880]

Alan I can’t wait till you can get your fortress completed. Keep up the hard work.

[@mikekelley7589]

Hope you get a lot of viewer help on the fortress Wizard. Can't wait to see the progress from that.

[@marschareid1595]

Hi Alan the truck had HARD WORK done thank you to show how strong that DODGE TRUCK is well done.

[@mikkei3532]

I am very happy - Heavy D - read my last comment (to help you make this fortress done) . Cheers from Poland

[@tabithadorcas9065]

Wow! My dad was a bricklayer for over 40 years. He was in excellent shape. But I remember the days he came home after laying concrete blocks. He always said that was tiring. But, he did it anyway. Stay safe!

[@mickematisen8674]

Hi Alan, what energy you have and all the joy you spread around you. =) Every time I get a notification that there's a new video, I just think YES!! More people like you would have made the world much better. Greetings from Sweden

[@I_AM_the_ITGuy]

I have not heard Alan say, "It's not worth the work" for anything! Alan does have some limits!

[@ronarant2897]

I was thinking he said it would take a major rebuild later?

[@airtek4809]

Yeah, only when the sun goes down.

[@AndreGreeff]

lmao.. that intro with the Dodge reminded me of my childhood. (: back in my teenage years, I was a camp leader at an outdoors adventure farm for primary school kids. one of the vehicles there was a very old, very beat-up open top short wheelbase 1-Series Land Rover, but it;s radiator had more holes than fins from catching branches as we ran through the bush every day... so it's parking spot was right next a tap with a short hose pipe, we had two 25 liter water bottles strapped in the bed, and before every drive we had to fill the radiator and both bottles, stopping every 20-odd minutes of driving to refill the radiator from the bottles.. fun times.

[@ddouglas3687]

Mountain goats looking for dad goat! Good to see you back on the Fortress Alan! Hope Dave and friends see fit to give you a kick start for the summer! Always fun watching the antics and the progress! Good luck from a forest of Oaks in Piedmont Virginia!

[@LumenateTV]

sweet glad to see the Fortress is ready for more blocks!

[@Pitmaster790]

Hey, Alan! It's good to see you back on top at the Mountain Fortress.

[@jimijester2424]

Woo hoo back to building the fortress season. 👍 😃 👍

[@michealgee2394]

I have so much respect for you and what you do. The fortress is awesome and so is the location. All the very best to you, Alan.

[@bisket2003]

YOOOOO Mr. WZRD! Dave's Video was incredibly inspiring! Can't wait to see this mind-boggleing project get turned up a few notches!!

[@martinmurphy3868]

You are absolutely Fantastic Alan

[@scuss2]

This is why he is called "The Wizard".

[@1MartinWaite]

I wish I could help you on the help build the fortress days but it would be rather awkward since I’m in a wheelchair and a small distance away (4600 miles away) so I’m going to have to give them help build the fortress X-rays a miss this time around but I’ll keep helping. By doing my bit from home with each update and video you show us by liking and commenting on them .😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@donanything6816]

I am glad to see you back to the block work. Please!! Please, move the pipe away from the edge!! Stand them up against a wall until you need to use them again. I gather you use them for moving things like pallets etc. Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to the next one. 👍

[@johnstark4723]

Keep digging Alan, there was a lot of progress last year, and i predict a whole lot more this year!

[@AugsterA]

Hey Alan! Don't fall off your Fortress there. Good vid Sir..

[@terrydebord5105]

Thanks for the fortress update its looking good and its raising up from tbe ashes✌️♥️🇺🇸

[@BillKennedy-or4ot]

👍, keep up the hard work, one day you will have a great land mark home to reflect on the years of achievement.

[@Suchislife312]

Your a good bloke Allan. Always look forward to your next content..watching all the way😊

[@steventaylor681]

It's great to see you back on top!

[@andrewphillips9123]

Any progress is good progress. You work hard with Dave and the guys so anything you can get done on the fortress is a bonus. Its looking good. When its done, you can say I built this! Their aren't many people that can say that about their homes..

[@juliuscaesar3346]

Excellent update Alan , ❤️💚🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@phil10000]

Love it Allen you are doing a great job 👏

[@TheNilla2020]

I can't wait to see what all these people helping will do

[@clarencewiles963]

Good morning or good night. Thanks for your update.

[@norcoredneck]

You’re a machine Alan! WIZARD!

[@77GEEWHK]

Any progress is good progress.... keep up the good work Alan 👍🐑....man the view from up there is amazing ❤️

[@PAINFOOL13]

Be safe Alan 🙏🏻 Love what your doing .

[@MikeBaxterABC]

2:22 .. Sad day!! And lesson learned ... for us I mean Alan knows this!! ... #1 Nothing wrong with using plain water when it's leaking ... It's actually preferred, to use plain water IN NON-FREEZING WEATHER ... when an engine is leaking water for pets, wild animals and "the environment" .. (Antifreeze tastes sweet but is not good for animals bodies of course) #2 ... ALWASY flush the system with 50/50 antifreeze (or 75% way up north Alaska and Canada) .. You can use a Cordless drill to power the vehicle's water pump .. OR just use a "Drill Pump" or other set up to flush the whole system before winter!! Hopefully the old Mountain Dodge didn't get a cracked block! :( .. There are two (or 4) freeze plugs in the bell housing area though, Just have to pull the transmission to get at them! :(

[@missingremote4388]

Omg. My first car popped 3 freeze plugs. Winter of 1984/5

[@MrLaking123]

love seeing the update on the fortress

[@TheLimberPine]

It will neat to see your progress this summer!

[@pamelaremel7477]

Slowly but surely, you're getting there! Good job Alan & sorry about the old dodge.

[@Motormike2025]

Can't wait to see more done. It's looking great 👍

[@lisawilson4551]

Always look forward to your new videos 😀👍❤️❤️❤️

[@dustymojave]

The 318/340/360 block has block drain plugs down low on the sides. Right next to the freeze plugs.

[@heynow01]

Getter done fortress!

[@joshuanicholsjr5327]

can't wait to see your fortress finished be safe brother God bless

[@dlansburg2673]

Wishing you the best! I’ve built a few log homes,it’s a lot of work. No doubt you aren’t afraid of work!

[@jeremyc9229]

Sounds like you will be getting more than four legged friends. I hope you take the help, I want you to finish the castle so you can fix up all the other stuff.

[@rhondamoore1682]

I Am So Happy To See You!!! ❤❤

[@awake.collective]

I love it, that view and what you're building. I hope when help comes in it happens in a way which feels good for you. What you've built already is a testament to such an amazing human spirit. God bless brotha

[@ronnydowdy7432]

Looking forward to seeing more as you go.

[@johnkirby6547]

Time to use the old dodge for donor parts and make another mountain truck live on.. Glad the weather is changing and allowing you to get back to work up there.

[@m23hf]

Yes, building more!!!!

[@stephenpoe2037]

Progress is always a good thing !

[@peterpanx1]

Alan you have such a cool set up if I can call it that. Les shows up in the background and does "Les things" Such a cool duo.

[@fishhaulergreatlakes8208]

My Wizard Alan, Sire! I do appreciate what, thou Hath done to thy castle. Impeccable design. Secure. I bough down to thee, my Wizard. 🌛⭐️

[@sundogbrewing]

[@jamesmoore7106]

Can’t wait till the next one Allen

[@PhiLBilly_PhilRodgers]

Alan have you ever thought about building an incline railway to move goods and things up and down the mountain? They used to build some serious railways up mountains for logging purposes and they moved them with one winch.

[@Ted_E_Bear]

The Wizard is the most interesting person I know !

[@creightondaniels7748]

Keep us in tune were with you....

[@TimFenton-dx4xe]

[@daviddevaney4720]

Alan’s Mountain Fortress The Fortress, like the Pyramids, Could take twelve thousand hours. The difference, Alan’s diligence, Midst snow and thunder showers. So everyday he perseveres. Most often all alone. Meticulous his efforts, On KZbin, they are shown. He thanks Les and his viewers And too, friends double DD, As engineer and Pharaoh, It's wonderful to see. Against All The odds David in NOLA 06/10/2024

[@DirectCurrent4u]

What a beautiful evening on the Mountain Alan! I would love to help You with Your Electricial work if possible. I have been a Electricial Contractor for over 30 years. It would be awesome to work on another Stand alone System! Keep up the awesome work my friend.🙏🏻👍

When you have corroded copper conection (or ground or starter cables) use some muriatic acid on it in few secounds (it clean it superb)

[@Chummybuckt]

I’d love to see that fortress complete

[@Doc.Hansen]

Alan . . I was happy to see that Dave's update video said he was going to arrange a work party at your place. I've emailed SparksMotors and other address to have them give you my name and phone number. I'm willing to come help on weekends. I'm from Orem. I'm sure others would also love to volunteer to help if you just asked. I love the fortress and want to see it finished.

[@utahcoasterenthusiasts]

Keep up the good work!

[@stevemuller82muller65]

Alan, you'll have to tell us some about what you eat that gives you so much GO power,is it AG1 or is it the Cherry PEPSI 🤣. Seriously, you are one of the hardest working people I've ever seen 🧐 much love from Pennsylvania 🥳🇺🇲🤙😎

[@PerTjarnstrom]

Nice job, I hear you gonna have some help speed up your projects soon to.

[@TheTorkerman]

Hi Alan, I’d love to know how you really feel about Mr Sparks inviting a heap of people to the fortress to work? Would love your thoughts on it.
