Mighty job Suzanne , Erik and Earen, very well done, thats heavy going, and Thank You🙏🙏👍😎

[@yanceylindley5172]

Its really nice to see you guys enjoy doing this together. Stay sweet and safe!

[@williamwright8286]

I'll have to check them both because I like the farming also.

[@davidwittmer8806]

What a life you live!, as a subscriber from your beginning I’ve been watching all your videos. The one thing is you’re still beautiful. Love you guys ❤

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Thanks David, I appreciate you sticking around!

[@waynejones5239]

Nice video

[@bobbolieu9013]

It may not seem like it right now, but this is being a smooth transition. I can tell that you have put a lot of thought into these projects. Great work you all.

Suzanne back when I was a late teenager in the farm,my father and uncle started to rebuild a barn that was originally a 2 story 6 separate total rooms for a chicken barn . But in summer of 78 just after it was 80%full of hay some no good punk's in the area lit the barn on fire 🔥.The rebuild was going to be a full length open barn where you could back in from one end with a load of hay start from the back and work fwd .A carpenter crew started building the back end wall including the peak gable end . Just like you guys trying to man power lift the wall up and at the critical balance point the wall was to top heavy and the pivot nails let go and gravity took over and wall kicked out at bottom almost crushed a few guys and dropped 20 ft down off the back end of barn.an auto body teacher that helped us in the summer injured his wrist from the sudden unexpected fall . Also the punk teens opened up the valve on the milk bulk tank,threw open files into the milk room floor, sprayed paint cans all over milk equipment and milk tank,walls .my brother still has that same wall clock in his milk room today that has the remnant paint over spray.Then the gang of punk's went and burned a house down after all of that.

There's a guy that invented something to stand up his walls. He kept loosing his help. So he made some wich is really cool . Your home is coming together. 👍🏽

[@cancelbubble6535]

Missed this when it first came out, didn't recognize the new channel name. Looks like you're making good progress on the build.

[@tmwinkler]

You could have used a few 2x4s on the floor to act as an anchor between that established outside wall and the new all. But you guys got it done! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

2 years ago I I began a 2nd channel that I mainly use to video things I have for sale on Craigslist, Ebay and Facebook Marketplace.

[@AgTalkInTheRaw]

its amazing how life changes and channels change. this channel has changed in a positive way and I will sub to the new channel just to see the evolution. hope this all works out the way you planned.

[@This1LifeWeLive]

I think it will, so far the new channel is attracting a lot of new faces from outside of here. Honestly I think uploading 2x a day is really what's helping ;) I might get 3 views a month of some of these videos before the switch. I was the first female farming channel for better and for worse. Interesting to see it launched a second round now that there are so many new voices in the mix. You should do it with your original videos ;D I know you've got a STACK! We can re-live all those fun moments with the guy across the river, lol!

[@billyshumate853]

Great video and good job 💪💪 Suzanne you could run a couple of boards from the other wall to act like a brace to keep the bottom from sliding. Take care and have a blessed and safe day 🙏

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Central California watching 👀

[@robertkent2466]

It really looks like it's going to be nice and spacious. My place is only thirty feet long and I had to have an I-beam down the center. It got boxed in with duct work. Good luck with your new channel.

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Yeah we have a big header for a 20ft span in the basement

[@tanjalay2903]

That is a big undertaking not looking for starting on ours. The cabin build is going so but will get there. I think changing it to your new name for the channel is great. I love it. If you still need a decorator on looking for a special thing let me know will keep a look out. (Tanja:s Place) I wish you all lots of blessings to be safe .

[@This1LifeWeLive]

hey I'm always open for design ideas! I've never actually gotten to design anything other than my cabin . . . Erik has very specific taste and does not agree with my ideas, lol. But our countertops have labradorite mixed into them, so I DID go buy some giant labradorite polished rock sections to set on them. But I'm definitely open to ideas! How is your greenhouse coming? Such a great idea, I've never seen one turned into nook before.

[@tanjalay2903]

@@This1LifeWeLive what I would do . Look what you like . Like me I love Joanna Gaines designs . So I look for things that go in that theme. Sorry I just got back it's been so crazy here .

Awesome guys a great job

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

To lift the wall framing could you use something like a Strongway adjustable gantry crane sold by Northern Tool? Model GD2-4-1 $600. Add a Strongway manual chain hoist for $180. If you don’t have a Northern Tool nearby, maybe a Harbor Freight? The gantry Crane adjusts up to 11.8 feet. Once you are done using it you could sell it to recover 2/3rds of your investment if you don’t have further needs for it. About 20 years ago I built one from some very old AMF trampoline frames held together at the top with child swing brackets. I bought a manual chain hoist from Menards on closeout for $25. One of the AMF frames I was paid to haul away, other was given to me so I essentially got zero dollars into mine. I’ve pulled two Ford 6.9 Diesel engines with the transmission, plus pulled a few other Ford 300-6. Disappointed you are doing less farm content. I want to branch into more comedy with my Boyd The Goofball channel except I need some people to help act in several of them. I have a talent for writing and I can make people laugh. If I could get approval to play Dualling Banjos for one comedy video I think it has the potential to do well.

[@This1LifeWeLive]

You know, the nice thing with dueling banjos is that it's adlib . . . so you could hire two guys to do their take of it and you SHOULD be ok, although KZbin can be weird about that stuff and STILL have people try to claim they own something . . . I think you should give the comdey channel a shot, some of the best channels are those with scripts. My farming content just wasn't keeping people interested, and we are moving away from hay. Christmas trees are not really getting anyone excited and I've had people tell me they stopped watching because "nothing goes wrong". As a farmer, I consider that a success. But as far as content goes, I guess it does make for some fairly boring material . . .

[@dvljet]

Suzanne you should be wearing hardhats at all times on site for your safety and keep the kids off an active worksite because a building inspector could give you problems for having kids on an active worksite . a better way to lift that wall would be with a 4 wheel tele lift forklifter

[@This1LifeWeLive]

The tele lift was coming in a few days :)

[@BigBear-qr4zn]

I got your new channel 👍🏽🤓

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Well you confused me a little when I spotted the YT name... scratched me head... but saw it was you.. Checked the other link... and subscribed... before I even got to the end of this video when you explained all 🙂 Now where was I... oh yeah... you & Erik please take care when lifting those wall sides up.🙂 I hope by now that builder has been and approved all your work that you had 🙂 and gave you a AAA+++++ grade 🙂With walls up it all starts to make sense of your work plan and how things will look when finished 🙂nz*

[@This1LifeWeLive]

It's a bit hard for me to absorb . . . the basement took a month to go in, but framing it only took a week! By the time the builder showed up I was just marveling at the walls we had done and then poof, more progress!

[@andreacrashe9894]

@@This1LifeWeLive *Yep, now it has started, so much will happen... but also remember that some parts of it will take time... so process each day as each bit is partly completed or fully completed. Take heaps of photos to keep in an album... as they will help you process it all as you go along on this journey of building your home 🙂.*

It rains in Michigan? Hey Suzanne I think you said “This life we love “ Either way love you and your life. Don’t you wish you were a little taller right about now? Best always from sunny 😎 Florida 🌴

[@This1LifeWeLive]

I might have said it wrong 😂

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Going to take a bit to get used to🙈

[@bobearl7859]

Looks like a tool shed

[@GTFarming]

I feel I'd be at-home helping with this project and you could have used my 6ft6 height lol 😂

[@This1LifeWeLive]

hahaha! That's for sure!

[@rudolfhild]

Sehr Interessantes Video. Kleiner Tip. Warum fahrt ihr nicht mit dem Trecker über die Bodenplatte und stellt mit dem Frontlader eure Elemente auf ? Grüße aus Germany

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Really we should have done the center first FOR that reason 😂

[@gordbaker896]

The last wall at 4:15 seemed high. Perhaps just camera angle. You were all in the Danger Zone sometimes. Glad you lucked out. The bottom should have been secured so it would not slide etc. WE don't like change. Why change the Channel you have worked so hard at? utube is demanding we watch ads we Don't Want. The Public is already inundated in ads. Amost 25 minutes of every hour on TV there are ads. I purposely ignore/don't buy the product. All that space for 2 people? Only 1 TV? Happy Summer. Glad you missed out on a lot of rain from Beryl.

[@This1LifeWeLive]

We got the rain Monday, lol!

[@fredtrent8992]

Is there a story behind the name change?

[@fredtrent8992]

Ok. Should have waited until the end.😊

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Erik had been telling me to change it for a few years . . . I guess it finally made sense 😉

[@marksmotorsportsandfarming7376]

I would not have changed anything as far as channel names since the house build is part of your overall farming experience. If anything, you should have given the name of this channel to the new channel and move the house building videos to the new channel

[@This1LifeWeLive]

I toyed with that idea, but farming is slowing down as we switch into Christmas trees, which so far no one has really gotten excited about. The channel was costing me money out of pocket to continue running, so it was either shut it down or do a massive facelift ;)

[@marksmotorsportsandfarming7376]

@@This1LifeWeLive I think part of the reason for the lack of excitement for the Christmas trees is because of how long it takes before you have a harvestable tree. I would think that the hay farming would still get people excited since it's harvested annually even if you don't have as much

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Nice work guys! This may not matter to you, but won't you end up losing ad revenue from moving all your old videos? I assume they will all start over at 0 views- which means the tubes won't see them as popular and won't promote them much. I will still head on over to the second channel though 😊

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Yes, that is correct! Currently the only video KZbin has been pushing is the one discussing making $60,000 per acre with Christmas trees, done about a year ago. All the old ones have run their course. But it's interesting that a few early ones that took off are now doing it again . . . so while they WERE not making any revenue, they now have the potential to once it gains monetization :) I am losing views, but growth has blown up a lot more since I began transitioning it :)

Hopefully he won't walk off the job or male you take it all down. He very well just may do that

I almost unsubscribed because I didn't recognize the channel name!

I haven't even changed my photo yet 😂

[@davidsharlot6794]

Those fake channels where they have started posting your videos from the beginning made me think. I suppose it's like a new channel where you don't have to go through all the old ones at once to catch up.

[@This1LifeWeLive]

I think I'm the only one posting old videos . . . as far as I know no one else has . .

[@myronparks3495]

New name for your channel= new photo? Lol

[@This1LifeWeLive]

Yes, I plan to do a new photo and a new banner ;)
