Cut the bracket and fold it around the post. 😊

[@MurrayDecker]

Burning that pine straw ---- OH NO!!!!!!! That's perfect bedding for your barn. Next spring, it would have become perfect compost for a garden, mixed with all the animal manures and soaking up all the nitrogen rich urine. All carbon is good carbon, particularly when you've used it as a giant diaper in a barn.

20:26 How cute is Juniper helping carrying the logs up hill. What a great apprentice.

[@waynehall8131]

Nice job with the loader, that was a tight spot on a slope

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Your deck is looking awesome. I have been watching your channel since you started, and I have to say that Greg and Katie have done a wonderful job with this entire homestead. The two of you have done wonders with the knowledge you had when you started and have become master builders along the way. Looking forward to your next video.

[@ArthurValencia9438]

I loved that shot of the tractor going up the hill with a log and your dog following behind with a stick in his mouth. That was so perfect! Art in Calif.

[@Jimbo65203]

Juniper aping Gregg by carrying a stick up the hill while following him moving the log, was hilarious. Dogs love to mimic their master when possible. Good job on all your work, guys.

[@gridfreedomquest8613]

you are right. my dog just lays around and farts all day. that’s my boy.

[@wadeprior5203]

Hey good afternoon you guys hope you guys are having a wonderful day keep up the good work

[@sgrvtl7183]

WOW❗You have some really tall trees on your property‼NICE Fell....and nice/handy tractor❗🌲

[@Castrucksandtractors]

Love watching ya'll making your homestead a home . Greg buddy you impress me with your building skills and how stout you are. Yall keep up the good work

[@dantejaiudijr-gk9st]

Greg and Katie, You guys are the ultimate off-grid couple. You work as a team and you keep things rolling in a positive direction. Keep up the great work. Your videos are terrific! 🧐🌲👍

[@glendajune9140]

The deck looks great,& more securely reinforced. Y’all definitely do quality work. Whatever it may be lol. Thanks for showing the process.💯👍🏾😀💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@alk7142]

Just pad the deck out the couple inches so your post is were you need it. Stairs will still fit fine. You guys are so lucky to have access to such quality trees to mill your lumber. Nice job as always.

[@Leezymay]

What your doing is awesome. Just want to see more of ur extended family, goats, chickens, dogs etc. These are my most favorite videos not a construction gal. 😊

[@jameswulzen590]

the mill looks great off the ground and your doing a great job the both of you. Aloha

[@keluargaganfais1027]

It's amazing that you made a nice and very beautiful house, my sister, my brother's garden, a large and very beautiful field ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@jeremyparrott3713]

I still remember when you were putting in the footings for the house. Amazing watching this journey, and learning what not to do from your journey. Thank you

[@1944chevytruck]

Nice looking power sorce!.... LOOKING GOOD U2!

[@glenb3682]

Been watching a bunch of your episodes this evening. Lovely show. I can't believe you haven't welded 3 chain hooks onto the top of your tractor bucket yet. For everyday log hoisting and lifting and reverse towing/skidding stuff about the homestead there is little that can beat her. Good 15' chain with a hook at each end, find and mark your middle link with ribbon or the like and you have a balanced lifting rig if it's on the middle hook. Best of luck

[@robertslusser6753]

I just want to comment about your "ad" for the power charging unit. Greg's presentation was, to me at least, impressive. He seemed to know the product and spec's and he did a good job of explaining the features and operation of the unit. A man of many talents.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Thanks 😊

[@tracykaeding3920]

Greg, you are incredibly clever and I love how you have guided Katie with so much encouragement and patience and love. Katie is a little pocket rocket willing to try anything .You guys are an amazing pair not afraid to show your mistakes which is so important to future homesteaders. Other channels only show perfection which would be daunting. Your😮 problem solving skills are pretty special and your genuine love for your animals is beautiful to watch. you guys are the real deal. You arnt out to impress anyone, you are both true to yourselves. Love from Australia

[@oomwat6101]

New title sequence and music ... I like it :D

[@buddyreed2623]

It's all good. Have good days!

[@texgem]

Congratulations guys for getting new sponsors. You are going to have a lot of storage area when you skirt the bottom of your deck I hope you take advantage of that.

[@andreasweiss4438]

I wish you only the best. Take good care of you. Greetings from Germany. Andy

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Wow Greg you remind me so much of Daryl Jago always working hard working very smart was a roofer as his own company And he is a redhead like you

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

Best times around when it’s cool out ❤❤❤❤

[@ld5714]

Katie, I always get a kick out of Juniper being right there wanting you to throw the ball. You guys have turned the corner on Fall now so I hope your deck cover arrives soon so you can get it down. Greg, the deck looks great, both of you have done a good job on it. I liked the common scene of Juniper following Greg on the tractor up the hill. That scene, along with the goats who often accompany you two, kind of epitomizes life on your homestead. Have a great week and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@jesusdelgado3936]

Been watching your videos, just recently began viewing them. I've watched the one where you clean all your left over scrap wood. The one where you finish the barn, actually two of them. I've watched the deck build, I've watched the one where you install your tile and the fridge didn't fit and now I'm watching this one, and the one where you are placing trim on your deck. I want to commend you on what a hard worker u are Kattie. It's no wonder you're tired at times.. But in all these videos you are the only one cleaning up stuff and now he wants you to disappointed! Lol A little help from him might help you catch up on your rest. Lol 😊 I'm sure he works lol but you, you are magnificent. Keep it up and try not to get too depressed, I get like that too when I'm too tired. Its weird, I work so hard but I feel like I didn't do enough and feel like I let myself down. So I know how u feel.. Hang in there! You're one awesome woman. 👌and those eyes! ❤ lol😊

[@patblaney3895]

Yous dont disappoint on your vlogs there great all I can say thanks for sharing 🐾🐾🐾

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Hell yeah, just bend it around!! If it was me, that's what I would do! Keep up the hard work 💪

[@carolfaberpeake857]

Wow Greg major skills on putting the dirt between the sono tubes!

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Love watching you two work together

[@phuongvo3051]

I’m so enjoying watching your channel , ❤ all the work your guys did , hard working and working hard couple ❤❤

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Glad you strengthened it, makes sense.

[@michaelcarron3418]

I would cut the bottom of the post bracket that is sticking out then with a 3lb hammer wack the piece around the wood post then put a few nails to finnish it. Do double check the horizontal for alinement. Use a metal blade sawzall for the cutting.

[@MRBenchwork]

As much as you use that tractor for moving logs and lumber, it might be a good idea to invest in a solid bottom grapple bucket. This would give you the same functionality as the bucket you have now but also give you the ability to grab onto logs and lumber making moving the stuff around a bit safer and faster. The best part is they seem to be pretty affordable at around $1,500.

[@richardwhite4277]

you are going to end up with tons of under deck storage, what a bonus

[@yancyhebert9937]

Great video. Can't wait for fall in Louisiana Still 90 degrees Fahrenheit here Thanks for sharing

[@chriswarren274]

Would that hay be good for a compost pile? Things are looking good around the house. Always makes you feel good when you tidy up things❤

[@firedog4689]

Can I offer some advise, weld two chain hooks to the side your bucket, then when you buy yourself, you ban load the big ones with out help,

[@Susan-s4x4w]

You both do a fantastic job. Should turn all the hay and clipping and wood off cuts and any bark into compost

[@donnabac]

Love how you’re cleaning up the place.

[@samanthawinslett202]

Slowly but surely, its getting done. Hey can you take me on a tour down your semi newly cleared road. The one you got the tracker stuck on. I haven't seen it for awhile....thanks for sharing

[@faytonphillips3135]

Deck is looking great.

[@ChNugget]

I truly enjoy watching and waiting for your episode each week. Keep up the great job.

[@rolandtb3]

Using what you have. Felling trees for deck overhang posts. Starting fall cleanup. Cooler temperatures and some rain. No smoke. Lots of greenery.

[@rosaolbera8768]

Hello my adorable couple i always enjoy watching your video you both work so hard and your please is looking amazing stay strong and safe and blessed outthere

[@teresaedwards3659]

Thanks for the video!

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

I could not imagine building a beautiful homestead like yours, without 3 major pieces of equipment…..your tractor, chainsaw, and your mill !! Them babies probably paid for themselves over and over and over again. Great job on your deck. Another awesome video!!

[@robertboyd3898]

Looks Amazing you worked like Bees.. You did an awesome job

[@warrenbartlett2223]

I was wondering where this part of the video on the deck thanks for posting it

[@edlockrow6581]

Thank you for being a light and bringing a smile to my day.

[@terrymedina7893]

Great job Greg and Katie 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@susiemurphy1476]

Nice deck. Great job.

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

Lots of useful activities. The place is getting closer to a final form.

[@brucewitcpalek5120]

Ever since you showed building your barn, I want to build one basically the same way !! I just love it 😊!!

[@stephaniebarber3595]

Love you guys! And the crazy post…. No big deal! Looks great!

[@2putts2win]

Everything is looking good on your homestead Greg! If we learn from our mistakes then they are not failures. We are only here for a short while and we must always move forward and enjoy the time we share with the people we love. I like your positive attitude buddy.

[@scottmorris4914]

Lots of work done,. And the place is looking better and better.

[@MsSuperKeksi]

At the chicken coop the dried plants in the hanging red buckets. Forgot to water :)

[@dropshot1967]

92 K subs already, getting closer to 100 K

[@bobhale8325]

Wonderful idea. Need a board or post, just cut down a tree.

[@DaveS-gf4ik]

great job on the videos love the music i have a lot of fun watching thank you for the hard work you put videos dave s from ct

[@ronmiller9297]

Those #20 galvs take a lot of nailing.

[@teresarumley8694]

It looking really nice ❤️❤️

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Wow you too I thought you had enough of smoke this summer look at that smoke you smoking us out in BC here on Vancouver Island I can see it oh I'm choking on it🤣🤣🤣

[@Chris-yo4ks]

You really should have a couple of chain hooks welded to the top of the bucket on your tractor. Would only take a few minutes to get welded on....and would be so much easier, and FAR safer to haul logs

[@johnkirby6547]

Very well done Greg, Perfectly felling the tree, bringing it to the sawmill to make the posts.. This will add much more storage underneath and like you said adding the cladding along the outside will keep anything from getting under the deck... can't wait to see the next episode ❤

[@carolg.prevette5483]

So nice to see all your hard work coming together-love your place! ❤

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

Looking good guys! You're gonna love that deck when its all done! As always great job Katie on using the sawmill !

[@patriciamontague6035]

Enjoyed the show..😀great time of the year.😀

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@richardwhite4277]

In future if pouring dirt around Sono tubes you can always put a bucket, lid or tub on top tube and just dump front end tractor bucket right on top the tube

[@kerrydutton9019]

You both work so hard you deserve all the happiness and the ice things that come your way ❤❤

[@philiphemphill4980]

To make things easier and safer buy or make a set of forks to slip on the bucket keep up the great work cheers from OZ

[@barrymurray8264]

It looks fine. Your work will be stored in your mind, it’ll tell you that you were right. Keep going, the 70 yr old from Middletown, Del approves . Be well.

[@robertfrancis1796]

Love the slow-motion log milling walk...

[@kencross25]

Splendid and informative video you too. Missed ya on Sunday. Was that a black bear and cub behind you when you were working on putting concrete in the Sono tubes? It felt like Fall around today, High 89 degrees with low tonight 70 degrees, LOL. Sent you a text message about forklifts. I can't believe my eyes that ya would be burning viable pallet wood. Pallet wood was my first wood source starting my woodworking adventure. I can't tell how much money I collected from pallet wood crafts.

[@keluargaganfais1027]

good night my brother ❤❤❤

[@russellwatters5891]

I'd just cut the bracket and tapcon another in place, you should be able to get a bracket underneath the post. Anyways, Juniper had the other one doing tricks by tugging on that stick, funny stuff...lol 😂 I'm wondering Greg, why you haven't welded up some hooks yet or something to hang on the bucket to assist with the logs precariously hanging on...😅 Love ya'll ❤

[@kristingrounds4163]

It is gonna look great once you guys are done...not that it doesn't looks great now!! Looking forward to the finished product...thanks guys!

[@markt7663]

We thoroughly enjoyed this latest video. It really showed how much you've accomplished. Things are looking more established, while you two are making everything look easier than it must be!

[@pierrickhab4864]

Hello to both of you, I admire what you are doing, hats off. so much work and above all with so much will and courage for achieving this we can only be admiring. well done👏👏👍😘😘 Hello from France. P.S sorry for my English

[@willwipf7030]

I have one of those utility tractors 38 HP you might add a couple teeth mounted on the bucket, mine is 61 inch wide bolt on helps with bigger logs, just an idea,deck looks great you young folks be happy, damn good workers, better take good care of that lady she's a good one

[@graves3919]

A cant hook is a lot easier to use than a peavy especially when you are logging and milling

[@ninemoonplanet]

Always good to pull down dead trees. Logistics can get a bit wild. Those chunks of lumber could be put to use building storage bins for long handled tools, keep the rust down. Or make some raised planter boxes to keep herbs in, chickens out. Right now I'm getting supplies ready to ship to Ukraine. The villages are essentially demolished. Some people who are remarkably stubborn are still there. 😲

[@ninemoonplanet]

I will look into that power station, solid state should be less of a concern in colder temperatures.

[@loucinci3922]

Good adjustment. Looks great.

[@MrTimNed]

Looking good y'all. Peace and Love, Tim

[@Susan-s4x4w]

Love your deck it going to look so nice when the house and decks are finished

[@tr3vorb438]

That dead tree milled up really nice!

[@karenriggle5435]

If you have an old tractor tire you can put it in the chicken run and put your ashes out of your burning barrel , once they are cool, into it for the chickens to dust bathe in and if there is a little charred wood in with it its very good for their digestive track

[@peterholmesgavleman]

I noted that Greg changed from a tee shirt to a lumberjack shirt when felling the tree!

[@ThisOffGridLife]

If it's good enough for the lumberjack it's good enough for me!

[@FamiliaZambonis]

Essa lenha aqui no sul do Brasil, tinha virado um churrasco! kkk

[@lorettaandjasonoffgrid]

Some pretty treacherous terrain you're having to deal with. Good teamwork guys! Love these types of videos!

[@ewidmer1]

I agree with your decision

[@daveprestidge8353]

What is timber you use in Zealand all our timber has to be treated only use white pine you two work so well together 😊

[@donalddecker909]

Love you guys

[@bowbailey69]

It would not be difficult, nor expensive, to add weld-on style chain hooks to the top and bottom of both sides of the tractor bucket to secure logs. They would be out of the way for digging and would make carrying logs much safer and more secure.

[@Mr572u]

I like the way you attached the original post at the top. I wish StudPack would have done it that way. He is a metal bracket freak..
