The Truth about our Situation

[@kflo1219]

There’s “haters” everywhere but LFG is one of if not THE most genuine guys on YT today. 😊🙌🏼 Back to normal by Christmas would be an awesome present!🙏🏼

[@blakejendusa8323]

Long time subscriber. I’ve watched your channel since the Winston days, I’ll be praying for you guys for sure. It’ll work out, it always does!!

[@weseastham701]

So our second home my wife and I did all the interior floor tile, cabinet stain, and painted all the trim. We worked late into the night but it was so special when we finally moved in. Hang in there guys, you got this! Gods good!

[@davidmoore9232]

Hang in there LFG this too shall pass! Sending some prayers y’all’s way.

[@RKHarm24]

Prayers abound for the Young Rackley Family. Stephanie looked like she was about to start a tear shower. Is Stephanie eating? She looked thinner. The kids appeared to be enjoying the long back tard and pond. LFG, you and Ben will have plenty of room to kick and throw the old TAM Pigskin around. Stay strong, Prayers are surrounding your entire family, including Mom & LFD.

[@WillE454]

Been watching the channel since 2011 or so, when you had the Texas A&M wrapped boat. It’s been fun watching you and your family over the years.

[@BakunLT]

Man, every time I see Winston it reminds me of my pup that I lost 2 years ago, got a grown man weeping over here 😢

[@peterwinter6555]

Prayers go to you and your family. Can’t imagine the frustration and praying this season is all over sooner.

[@angelicahiser2706]

We have a chicken tractor we made ourselves. The grass is so much greener. We have a ground level, a secure second floor, and the peak of the roof is full of roosting bars. Water & food on the second floor. If you aren't worried about predators use an old trampoline with fencing around the under area. Easy to move shade and plenty of space.

[@LiveLoveFish]

Praying for you brother. I’ve been renting for 12 years, I have a family of 5 and we are a single income family. We have homeschooled from the start and we have only ever had 1 vehicle. We’ve prayed and dreamed for our own home and a better situation financially. I feel you bro.

[@naturalverities]

You are me 40 years ago! Keep on making the right decisions and God will honor that! Your family will rise and call you blessed!

[@CarolLovesJesus]

Praying for you and your family

[@kentkelly5301]

Thankfully you guys can still laugh about it! Pray everything get done and you sell it! 🙏🙏🙏

[@paulkick7870]

Keep your sense of humor and keep your marriage strong! If Jimmy Hoffa is under your concrete, you can collect the reward.

[@icedfirefly6694]

It’s such a great thing to see that you’re not just going to patch that basement floor and fixing it the right way. You’re such a great person. Keep it up. It’s not much but I will buy your merch to help out.

[@johnwilson2338]

God Bless you guys! Hang in there, y'all got this!

[@bottlerocket3333]

Thanks for talking about this, it feels like all you hear is work hard, sweat equity, keep grinding, but sometimes you just lose. Every story is "bought my house 5 years ago, did paint and land scaping, and doubled my money, put it down on a mansion and now my mortgage payment is 75 cents". I'm a 1st time home buyer (4 years ago), got a great deal and a great interest rate but now it feels like I'll live here forever because the next rung up is out of reach. I've put 30k into home repairs and other than the wall colors being different you can't tell I did anything. The flip side of that coin is I'm probably close to breaking even with renting so I guess it could be worse. Can't take a second mortgage out on a rental.

[@SonOfVulkan]

Im glad your showing the other side of home ownership, sometimes things get harder than we think!! Keep moving forward and stay positive!!

[@bricehale6593]

Brother try being a nobody with 40$ to your name and having all the same problems lol

[@rachelfriede3767]

Right?

[@Eugenia_Farms]

lots of people do it buddy your not special you just might now film yourself for youtube? Grind harder buddy anyone can make it in life! God bless

[@Stecker.Ethan69]

i miss old googan.

[@jillchapelo9772]

Lots of prayers coming your way. We lost our house Oct 13 in a house fire. I feel your pain! What a nightmare. Im so sorry you are going through this! But of all people you and OSG got this. Sending healing prayers for OSG ❤

[@Nick-nv4nj]

Always appreciate an upload brotha have yourself a wonderful holidays!

[@josemonge6622]

I pray everything works out okay and that you will prosper.

[@stanleywoznick1102]

Keep plugging away and continue to do the right thing. Good things come to those who wait have a little patience with the process and a return to you tenfold.

[@CarolLovesJesus]

My heart really feels for you guys. Stay the course...keep the faith..... it's going to get better 🙏 praying for you all.

[@edmundohillary]

You guys are awesome people. Just remember that

[@RollenTide85]

Brother we went through this same ordeal last year at the same time and it was rough!!! God has a plan for you and your wonderful family! So y’all stay strong. Also you and your family are in our prayers!

[@SonnyD4359]

Sending positive thoughts your way man. Hopefully it all works out!

[@goexplore4321]

Life sucks sometimes.... it's what makes the other time more worth it. You are a great person, stay positive, pray and embrace the struggle. I'm going through it as well. Sometimes i just have to take a break, and recognize the suck, then get back after it.

[@robmetzger8616]

It could be worse, that's pretty bad. My ex and I owned a condo, bought a house, because she was pregnant with our second. We were 5 days away from closing on the condo when it got struck by lightning and burned down. It took 18 months to rebuild.

[@johnhanley8708]

Hope all goes well soon Merry Christmas to you and the whole Family

[@chericampbell5395]

Oh man I feel for you guys. I don't know if this is worse or it make you feel like your not atleast not on the sinking ship alone. In June I game home and my whole house was flooded and then water mitigation company ruined my millwork and ceiling fans and killed all my fish because they made my house over 200° and still left water in the carpet and walls so a second water mitigation company had to come in after my house got classified as stage 3 ( sewage water) and flood cut all my drywall at 2', ripped out all my kitchen cabinets, all my flooring, my master bathroom got ripped out, master closet shelves are ripped out and and everything I own is packed up and stored at some off site facilities. Allstate wanted to pay $0 at first so I hired a PA the rebuild cost is ,$43,000 currently wants to give me $19,000. I'm disabled and live on SSID. I have been living in a hotel trying fight Allstate to get them to do the right thing and what I pay for every month. It's sad really the flood was caused by the fire department accidently shutting my water off instead of my neighbors and air got trapped in my line and it blew the fridge filter while I was out of town. If you have Allstate drop them find someone else anyone else. You are not in good hands I promise you. Living in a hotel sucks but living in a hotel and having back is awful especially on these beds. I absolutely wish you all the luck and praying I can do for you. I have a great contractor/ interior designer if you help ( I'm in Round Rock so we kinda close).

[@mikedelacruz3135]

Prayers y’all, stay the course Brotha!! It’ll be worth it in the end 🫡 Cheers with a frosty adult beverage for you and Mrs Steph, y’all deserve 1. Appreciate the inside update, & I’ve been there in your shoes. It’s a Journey my guy. Keep us posted please, best regards from California Sir 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

On the Cross Timbers Bison Channel, they got a chicken tractor kit from another KZbinr that includes a roof, heater and water system. Don't rember the name, but in a afternoon, they moved their 7 wild turkeys they'd hatched out in an attempt to restore their 189 acre bison ranch with turkeys (Rio Grands by the way.).

[@kenwillis8487]

Keep on keeping on! The saying it could always be worse is heavy in the comments! I can relate to being in limbo like ground hog day with moving from one house and selling the other! We sold our 1900 farmhouse in 2020 and had two contracts fall through. One at 10 days and one at 45 days! Finally got a solid buyer and they wanted us to re wire the house! I said no, I’ll gift $1000 towards a new breaker box but that’s it! They accepted that offer and we closed 20 days later! But it was very stressful being tied to two mortgages and bouncing back and forth between the two locations to fix not pick stuff that adds up!

[@andylengerich3859]

Prayers that things keep moving in the right direction for you all. And I have to say, OSG is tiny little lady but the way she has been handling that furniture…. Well I wouldn’t want to make her mad. 😆 Strong! You are an impressive couple. Stay strong. Keep taking care of each other and God bless.

[@JeRKII]

You guys seem like AWESOME, AMAZING people where are all the friends that should be there to help with all the heavy lifting? Keep up the good work and hope things get in a better situation sooner then later. Wish I knew someone in the market for a new home in the Texas area

[@elc7795]

I made the same mistake. Know how many house payments you can make before you make major repairs to a house you are selling. Also be willing to drop the price of the home in lieu of repairs. Cash in the bank is worth more than what you sell your house for.

[@jake9bates]

You can get a GPR scan of the floor to see where pipes are before you start busting it out.. additional cost but could save you money in the long run

[@joanneganon7157]

Man , that sucks😢! I'm so sorry you're stressed even more by this ❤🙏. I'll be thinking possitive thoughts for ya'll ! JO JO IN VT 💞

[@waterdog3978]

Possum story cracking me up, I was a trapper forever and I have a fence with dogs , it’s a constant battle. We’ve had some battles and the possum walks away slowly and laughs at my effort.

[@clifffrazier4696]

Keep your chip up Justin. It’s gonna all work out.

[@DJSherwoodAesthetics]

Justin good sir, how are ya?!Hey good sir! First, we keep praying for yalls move and the financial burden that it can be. I joined the Air Force at 30 and my ROI compared to my life before was… let’s just say scary. I’m overseas and as much as most love it, I hate it. Remember no matter what yall are going through, though difficult, I and my family live vicariously through you and your family. We have 2 out of 4 years left and we will pray every day for the treehouse fam. GOD BLESS YALL and big sniffs sir! I salute you.

[@coygreathouse1211]

Bro! I’m shocked you haven’t gotten more support from the community. I’m a local custom builder out of Fort Worth. I’ve got really great trades that I’d be happy to sent your way that can do a great job for you and I’d make sure they give you the best deal possible. Not to mention, I’d be glad to help you move! All I ask for in return is a few slices of pizza.

[@ixDARIONxi]

Been a long time since I’ve seen some Winston memorabilia!!!!! Tugs at the heart strings.

[@zachross3806]

OSG is an absolute champ

[@Zakarigardens]

I know how it feels to be in-between two different households. I'm going through the same thing now and it's absolutely miserable but we just make the best of it for the children

[@RadReelingFishing]

Ugh..."The Money Pit." Can you just drop the price and let the new owners fix it if they want to?

[@camronking7947]

I think you should do a diy chicken coop in the trees by the pond, just nail the fencing and roofing to the trees, and whatever wood you need, would be a hot spot for them insects and stuff, plus wouldn’t be in your yard, also plus you wouldn’t have a choice but to visit the pond while going to the pen lol

[@ShaneJMcNair]

May the Peace of the Lord be always with you and your family, Yes, Home is where your Heart is... Godspeed ❤🎣

[@camronking7947]

The chicken going with you was hilarious

[@rogerwilliams977]

I feel ur pain, we've been living out of boxes for over a year because we were supposed to close on the property last November 🙃 ❤

[@David_Quinn_Photography]

That is a Sap Sucker, my favorite woodpecker, their keel call is so adorable.

[@Screechman19]

Hope things turn out for y'all

[@justinbarnes2606]

You should sell that big ass fancy boat 😂

[@paulpreston316]

You know there’s a lot of us here in the DFW area (Denton) with trucks willing to help ya move, also being in construction can refer you some good crews to get your projects done…just saying brother

[@Deanna-ur9hg]

Download Merlin if you have an iPhone it’s free , it can tell you by sound or a picture what type of bird it is!! I love it❤️

[@ryana3679]

At the end of the day you've got an amazing family. Everything else will work out.

[@jamesireland9188]

You're a good person most people would just put some lipstick and move problems on to the new owner. Just think when it's all done you can relax and chill out in your new home . Really enjoy the content have a goodnight and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Massachusetts.

[@frankbollotino2270]

Stay strong it will end soon have faith.

[@pawoodsman1737]

$50 grand for siding. 😮. Sounds really high.

[@jlancaster7482]

0:08 The OG’s of the channel miss poor old Winston!

[@wcoleg]

Praying for your situation!

[@Fireman443]

Been watching for few years, long journey and one thing I’ve always noticed is the love you have for your family and that’s something to cherish and not take for granted. Keep grinding brother.

[@assocrec]

Was in your situation before, carried two mortgages for 18 months, it sucked ended up $100,000 in debt. Took over 5 years to dig out from that storm, but did! Fast forward I now live a debt free life, and feel great. If I want something I now pay with cash or save until I can! Keep at it, God won’t give you more than you can handle although you will disagree, love on your wife and kids and stay the course!

[@dccrens]

God has you in his hands my friend. Follow his lead.

[@brianbutler3318]

You’re a lucky man to have a wife with a sense of humor

[@Michelle-pb9uv]

God Bless your family

[@omgdudenoway]

Keep grinding, buddy. One day you'll look back and this will be a short step on a long journey with your family. Cheering for you from Lake Fork.

[@middletnpyro]

One word, CARPET !!!

[@racerxv6valvoline424]

LFG and Family, prayer's go a long way for those that believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. If he knew you could not handle what you have gone through he would not have placed it on you're heart to do it. You guys will be fine. There will be nights of crying and days of joy. Hang in there and soon you will be reaping the joys.....

[@bwcok7947]

Repairs. Shoot! Crazy times to be doing it right now. Three months from now it will be way cheaper. Sad it has gone like it has. Prayers

[@richardsimmons6526]

50k for siding? Should be less than 7k.

[@TiceNBT]

Tell OSG I think she should “white wash” the new furniture piece and distress the crap out of it!!! 😂

[@AaronWJ]

Just a wholesome channel. Will y’all ever bring back lake life family

[@Railroad_TalkNOutdoors]

3 fiddle farts to be exact lol. Hoping you guys land a buyer very soon!

[@Nathan-ty9yn]

That's a red bellied woodpecker that you pointed out. Anyway hope you guys get the "Treehouse" sold and get the new house going strong, I'm excited about the backyard pond and it's future. 😊

[@donniewakemup8729]

Hey, Googan Squad, go help out your boy and help him move for cryin' out loud. 🤣

[@cody8161]

I am not trying to buy a new house. But this year I’ve done the foundation, lost a cedar fence due to hurricane so replaced that, and now about to get siding done. I feel a minor amount of your pain.

[@justinmitchell1445]

Hoping for a quick sale once you get the floor done!

[@michaelhyatt327]

Living Traditions Homestead channel has a good how to video on building a hoop coop. I built mine using their design and it works great. 3-400 in material and I use treated lumber. 8x16ft.

[@aaronpetersen2736]

I remember when Emmy was born! Holy crap! She’s so old now!

[@CraZyNOTRT]

that floor doesn't look too bad to fix it it isn't structural. Dig out all of the loose or easily breakable chunks. Buy a lot of self leveling floor compound, poor and smooth out. and rent a Floor Maintainer to sand out any more inconsistencies.

[@taylorpogue88]

Buyers are ridiculous these days. Just lower the price and sell as is.

[@taylorpogue88]

Make a walkthrough video and share the listing. Use your following to find a buyer.

[@matthewmcdaniel8846]

This is a great explanation as to why homes are NOT assets they ARE liabilities they cost money

[@tonybevolo7038]

lol what?? Do you realize the amount of equity they’ll be pulling from this once it sells?

[@bradenellison5954]

This is why you ARE a broke boy

[@unclebuzz6913]

Have you thought about self leveling concrete ,with fiber ? There has got to be a fix that is not that expensive. How's yalls health ? Is "Willis" still hanging around ,or not a thing anymore? You 2 are young enough and lord knows you got the intestinal fortitude ,to handle Anything. God Bless yall and your loved ones Relax ,this too will come to pass.

[@1973anacryon]

Whitewash with an antique rub always does a good job of updating a piece like that. Or so my wife says...

[@cherylcampbell7495]

When will the go fund me start. I remember when you all had the bathe room problem when you had moved in. Love you guys. Pray things will get better for you soon. 🙏👍

[@brucemohon740]

Yup. You find out real quick who your real friends are when you need to move

[@tylerwatson3651]

I wish I lived closer because I could help you so much with the floor and finish of the downstairs

[@gordonbuss2581]

Get it sika self leveler and self level the basement then tile it. Remove the base boards befor you self level

[@scubasteve7322]

Well, that’s why you get a house inspector before you buy a house so you don’t get in the stuff like this and if you do buy a older house don’t start turning it apart right before you’re gonna sell it cause you’re gonna find stuff that you don’t wanna find that you didn’t see why you were living there so you get it expected by a qualified inspector

[@troyodell3686]

I would love to have a pond like that but with children wanting to play around it would scare the life out of me. Id never be able to get anything done if they were playing near it. Id be a nervous wreck!

[@cybershoot254]

[@tvflea]

Get the googans over to help out!!

[@christiangutierrez4673]

It’s crazy how Flair or Rob haven’t come and helped you out.. sad to see. Is there no way to call some people to see if you can get sponsorship for the floors?
