[@tashasmith6179]

I'm looking forward to it. Fingers crossed that you will atleast get your yard cleaned up 🤞 before Autumn.

[@curlybrownk9]

People restore all kinds of things, and it's nice to see, that you see the value in that old farm. In todays disposable, society, with politics trending towards erasing history. You have decided to kickstart that old place back to life. Looks like a huge endeavor now, but you'll be mighty proud when your done. Good luck, I'm rootin for you.

[@peggyharris3301]

I've never been so aware of wisteria until I started following your channel🤣...I wonder how much easier your job there would be without it...holy toledo!!

[@YoungFun59]

Great Work!! I do love the sound that tractor motor makes!! Good Times👍🏻🙌🏼💜

[@luanncunningham2318]

Now all you need after you sweep off the porch is a tall glass of ice tea or lemonade while you sit and enjoy the view of what you have accomplished. Oh and give Baloo an extra pet and scratch behind his ears for me. He's one handsome dog!

[@ellenfarmer3498]

Just needs a good push broom....don't see one around.

[@ksook13]

I was thinking same except I would use a blower instead of a Broom to clean of the porch.

[@susanboucher9732]

That's an awesome picture of you Robert at the end with the rocking chair and the flag and just the calm breeze.

[@LitlPoot]

that old stove would make a magnificant container for plants !!! a very unique and historic piece to create some garden art ????

[@Alex-dz2et]

Balou rounding up the tractor and nipping at its wheels. Beautiful doggo ❤️

[@susanblauss1530]

Beautiful neighborhood you're in- thanks for taking us along on the ride.Baloo is a happy happy dog- he loves you and seems to have adjusted to his new life really well..wonder where he came from, what his previous life was like- he acts like you've been together forever.Great dog.Love the progress you're making on the old Byrd Farm..can't wait to see inside the house!

[@betty8173]

Glad to see you saving that old wood....but I never heard of anyone buying pallets...we just wait on folks to toss theirs to the street, and lots of furniture stores, other places, have extra always off to the side...thanks for you joy in this old farm!

[@nancylitton390]

Robert,all you needed at the end of this video was a quart mason jar of sweet tea on the arm of your rocker.😊😊😊 You got a lot done...a lot of hard work. Thanks for sharing and be careful...snakes are out and seem to enjoys being under porch.

[@joharmon2148]

Lots of work on this day. That will be one lovely porch for rocking and resting soon.

[@daxxydog5777]

My GSD could not help himself - he lived to herd the lawn tractor. Literally. Even herded the neighbor’s lawn mower. Cried and whined when his hips got so bad we couldn’t let him anymore. I hope he’s in heaven chasing a John Deere somewhere!

[@christinamarie3598]

Your pup is so precious!! Smart and acts as if he would do anything for you....so lucky you were able to find such an awesome pup to adopt!

[@shellydehart8217]

That shot of you sitting on the porch is a great photo shot, loved it! You worked hard today I can see but it’s great you got some things accomplished. Wished you cleaned the old stove out some but that’s a cool piece. Boy, do I love old things n speaking of that loved that old chair you were sitting in. Baloo is a real herding dog. He wanted so badly to herd that tractor LOL. He’s a beauty Robert. I think I’m in love with your dog.LOL OK it’s time to rest n have some good sweet tea or if you prefer harder stuff have a beer. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🐶

[@diannamatthys5731]

What a gorgeous day to be out on the Old Byrd Farm.

[@nullmcgrooder70]

Oddly very calming watching you work. Thanks.

[@davidcraddock7011]

just looks so natural, sitting on the front porch in a rocker of the old house

[@jenniferfulkerson4060]

I really LOVE that you're saving that old stove. It's a great piece of history.

[@leem200]

Beautiful country ! I can not wait until you show us the house. I love you tube because of all the people like you on it. I love Stone House been watching for yrs. Thank you for sharing it with us. Should try to save the old spring set people like to hang it on porch walls , some on walls for decorating walls and hanging things on it with clips.I love your dog he is beautiful. Also, love that tractor. Its pretty cool looking.

[@basakkermans137]

Ain’t it time to clean up some plastic and old metal around the farm? Keep up the good work!!

[@egparis18]

Keep on rocking, Robert.

[@julieroach1931]

Excellent!! Way to go! Pallets were a great way to solve the problem!

[@pamelawooten3251]

Old Balou just goes bonkers over that tractor, lol. Farm is looking good Robert!

[@idamcmullen6114]

You are doing a great job around the farm. There is a big difference.

[@kenhanks9620]

You know you have truly gotten into a major project(s) when it seems like you are spending almost as much time getting, and keeping, organized as in doing the actual work on the projects themselves!

[@jbart5260]

Baloo is just nosey and Robert's shadow. So adorable!

[@MrMilwaukee]

A fella needs a good dog

[@SewnbyKaren]

Interesting following you to the store and seeing some of the old homes in the area

[@emmadalrymple4102]

That old stove is a precious piece of Byrd farm history. Thank you for saving it! Kind of nice seeing you taking a break on the front porch....as you are expected to do, lol....Emma in SC

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

I bet it feels good to get some organizing done. (I never saw that metal frame until you started yanking on it!) It's getting there!!!

[@darlenejordahl3187]

Poor Balou! He needs some goats to herd.

[@maupinmaupin1472]

That porch is starting to look hospitable, Robert. You're making good progress.

[@susanboucher9732]

So glad to see you wearing gloves moving those pallets. Robert you have a funny sense of humor.

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Really?! He charged you for taking those pallets?! 😆 Around here they give them away. People pick them up to make compost bins or raised beds. Some things are different down there.😉☺️ You did some good work saving lumber and that cool stove. You for sure deserved that rocker. 💜

[@wandaroberts7954]

My Pawpaw Jack wore a hat like yours. My childhood memory of him was called to mind watching you sitting on your porch. I remember him rocking through the heat of the day on the porch in Coffeeville Ala. Always had a nadty spitune by his chair.

[@bethromanetto6279]

Can't wait to see the house repairs!! Going to be beautiful again!!

[@susanboucher9732]

Blu is relentless trying to get the tires of that truck.

[@dochubbell]

This old farm is a labor of love that feels like it's moving at a snails pace. However, it is also the right way to do the monumental work needed. Like eating an elephant, you have to start with the first bite and continue on one bite at a time. Neat to see the progress as you go along. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@chrismcbee2933]

The area is beautiful. All the trees are pretty. The houses are well spaced out and it looks like sidewalks in the country. Those old decorative pieces are cool.

[@ivanatomasovic3302]

Hello Robert from croatia i love this video i love that old farm and baloo verry much you don a great job thank you big love to you

[@frankscarborough1428]

Loved this video. Looking forward to the next. Looks like Blue had lots of fun. He’s such a good boy and wants to help

[@jeanburgin160]

Good job, you have organized well today.

[@Yzabeaux1]

BA-LOO IS SOOO AWESOME!!!! LOVE THAT WOOFER!!!! 🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶❤🐶

[@leelee8457]

Hi Robert... God Bless

[@glimmermomma4373]

Movin right along. Love ❤️ the hat!! Wish I had one, reminds me of Grandpa..

[@peggywilson9929]

Just love the way you are preserving ❣️

[@alanatolstad4824]

Nevuary? Too funny!---I love road trips, thanx for bringing us along.

[@kathleenschmidt7074]

Glad to see you do an organization of things, always makes me nervous to see so much stuff laying around especially as you walk around, oh my, tripping hazards every where.

[@lillypad9960]

This is a masterpiece in progress. I'm sure it will never be completed, because you always find something else to do. Blessings to you my friend.

[@lovesalaska1329]

Beautiful homes in the area.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

Neat looking old houses, aren't they? I love seeing them too.

[@Carolbearce]

Wow, where there’s a will there is a way. Love watching how you get stuff done.

[@jeffjohnson4015]

Fun blog!! Loved the shot of you sitting on the porch at the end !! Great shot and very artistic !!!! Well done !!

[@lornahardin4563]

Our cattle dog, Bandit, (now deceased) used to bite the ride on mower tires and actually puncture them. Many times his "dad" had to fix them.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

You accomplished quite bit. Your hard work is paying off.

[@turner9605]

Fantastic viewing thumbs up👍

[@ricknelson576]

No shortage of things to do on the ol' Byrd farm. Thank for video.

[@kenhorne5650]

Nice country. Tx showing that.

[@jerryodom3810]

Love what your doing. Especially like the dog. He's a definite good addition

[@williamyorkolepossum]

Glad to see you salvaging wood. It is better than the new very expensive stuff. Have you looked at the price of wood lately...???

[@helenlane6149]

What a beautiful area you drove through. Love how the dog is your shadow

[@amywright2243]

Good day's work. Thanks for sharing, even the porch sitting.

[@alickwills1463]

Hello Robert, good to see you are endeavouring to recycle the old timber. The price of timber worldwide has been trending upwards for some time now. Here in New Zealand, the price of building supplies is expensive!

[@paulhoffman6371]

Hot day's work done, porch swing, good ole dog, one missing ingredient. Cold beer.

[@melissalansdell886]

Looks great!! Love the sweet fur baby

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Just found your channel . very excited to follow along this journey .

[@johnbray3138]

It good to see the porch pieces stored. You may be able to use the found 6 x 6 wood to sister on to the bottom of the rotten porch post when you rebuild the porch. The fancy trim pieces may have come from the gables of the house. I think they are called spider webs. Lots of Victorian houses had these decorative elements. Some of that old wood from the barn might be the right thickness to cut the missing trim from and porch rail slats. Putting bricks under the pallets could raise them of the ground and out of the water. Good Job! Keep at it, I know you will. Are there any more pieces to the stove?

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

Great video Robert loads done and enjoyed Thankyou again for sharing it

[@debraolson5783]

So much has changed ! Good progress 👍🏻😀

[@yukokaystevenson4438]

Happy Fri-yay!

[@marionashby2716]

Hey Mr Robert did you ever get round to uncovering the ground where the patio is?.. You are a really hard working soul.. Love watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@barbaraaustin3633]

Baloo is determined to corral that tractor 🚜!

[@katbot2190]

Your dog really loves you. You sure have come a long what since I stumbled over your vlog. It looking really good. Bet your getting in better shape with all that work, lol.

[@eileenmurphy5718]

Balloo, just wants to ride with you. It would be easier if you had Cody there to help you get the wood moved.

[@hankfacer7098]

How good is that , can see you there on the porch on a hot Georgia day. Hard work paying off.

[@paulajones9956]

Can we see the inside of the house please

[@LCNWA]

Amazed w/ farm living & recycle to the max! You rock Robert!

[@IntegraDIY]

A skid steer would regrade that land nicely, would really clean it up. Take down some trees, it’ll open up nice. More smoother lane too, to work on and get around easier

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

Hi, cant wait for work to begin on the house. Great clearing up.

[@jeniw8586]

I get a kick out of watching Balou herd the tractor! Maybe get some goats for him to play with? 😁

[@cferguson3368]

That frame would make a great porch swing or "hammock" between two trees.

[@krislange1186]

We had a German Shepherd that hated anything with tires. He even got on the school bus once trying to follow the girls. The school bus driver yelled "Lange girls - get your dog off the bus!" Guess he didn't like the idea of that bus swallowing up his girls. I think someday my husband will walk in and I will be passed out on the floor. I find myself holding my breath when you do some things!!!

[@maryhale7234]

U better put some cardboard on the broken windows to keep the rain from rottening the floors.

[@brendaandres]

Those are called gingerbread trim on a Victorian home love your channel by the way

[@mountainbound1315]

Balou needs a tie out so he won't get run over by giant moving objects he is intent on herding his way. Crazy dog 🐕

[@wilbertdrake5214]

Im almost cought up on side steps and watch your step i love old cars on the side steps log

[@r1mein54]

Really Robert, Neverary, what caledar has that printed on it. You found an old day bed frame. A fellow needs to keep a short rope on the tractor to tie loads with.

[@mcwatersd]

Was scared for Baloo so close to the tractor. Too bad you had to pay for pallets . Here you can find them free if you pick them up, in fact every other week across the street from me they throw some out. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤ Look on line in your local area you will often find them for free.

[@bettyrush3651]

My son has a dog just like Baloo, they could be twins .only her name Blue. Acts just like yours, lol.

[@mtgcardzandreview2756]

Robert your dog wants to help so much. To bad you couldn't get some cinder blocks for the lean to floor

[@janicestankewicz6440]

Wish you could get more to help you

[@Suz9006]

The dog is a good supervisor

[@brianhicks4238]

Is there a video that shows the roofing tin being set up and installed, I haven't found it yet

[@cferguson3368]

Fabulous rocker!

[@Susanne-v7w]

I am so late but enjoying all info!! ❤

[@silviaweisz270]

Robert, here in the Netherlands and in the rest of Europe the wood price is also gone crazy. USA is buying a lot. If you go to Hubo( a kind of homedepot) you don't want to buy wood. It's expensive🤑.

[@genecarr4568]

A battery operated reciprocating saw (sawsall) with a 15" pruning blade will do a number on those wisteria roots. And you don't have to worry about getting the blade in the dirt like a chain saw. I have a DeWalt and it works great on roots. A get a couple of 6' sling straps to use lifting loads with your boom. Does it ever dry up there in Georgia?

[@echerry4317]

I’ve been using plastic pallets. Easy to find second hand online.

[@jimmyandkathyharrell]

Enjoyed the video!

[@janicestankewicz6440]

How is the chickies

[@genecarr4568]

Looks like old CB radio microphones hung on the rail at 19:22.

[@skipstein744]

Rocking on your front porch, after a good day of work, is your reward. Hey! Hey!!
