... be sure Courtney approves your beard!

[@alaskarainarts]

You have very well-matched advertisers, what a great beard! Your pioneering ways would suit Alaskan life, but your dream home is sure awesome where it is. What a great show!

[@mobiousenigma]

thanks for the videos! good luck with the project. there is an upside to leaving your base without concrete for a period...better compaction and reduced moisture so it wasnt all a disaster

[@unpredictabledave3893]

Don’t shave at all wait till it’s a jungle then trim it to size

[@antondefense3325]

Keep the dozer to clear land for the up coming house. If I am brave enough, I will be in the Sand Point area in a month or two.

[@johnwilson8922]

Anyone else smile through the whole video ? Excited for yall that you were able to pour your concrete finally. Now we get to be excited wondering what is next. We'll done guys !

[@AmbitionStrikes]

This feels like a victory we should all celebrate. We couldn’t have done this without you all rooting for us!

[@kingrafa3938]

[@rms1154]

Same... 👍🍻 Cheers

[@jeanmariesayre3980]

🥳🥳🥳🎊🍻🍻🍻

[@tiny9614]

I know I did, so exciting seeing the trucks come up the road and knowing it’s finally gonna happen. I know they have spent so much time and money for this day and what a great day!!

[@jana171]

How refreshing, an off-grid channel with cool content for days, that is NOT using semi nude pictures to clickbait viewers. This is seriously one of the best channels I stumbled into in a long while, great job guys !

[@dannyoktim9628]

Concrete yard agreed to test your road, they get 1,000 points for being onboard with your build, all that hard work you deserve success on KZbin.

[@rustbeltfab]

I feel like we’ve all just gave a collective sigh of relief for y’all. Y’all’s hard work and tenacity is truly paying off ten fold if not more. Keep up the great work and thank you so much for sharing this this journey with us!

[@steveperyer4850]

I am extremely happy for you guys, that you got the road done, and the concrete poured and it looks great. You are an amazing couple, and so glad for all of your accomplishments. Great channel. Time to get things ready for getting the shop finished and ready for your future lifestyle

[@AmbitionStrikes]

The thought of having a workshop again feels like a dream, but we are getting so close!

[@billyweston949]

Awesome y’all looks fantastic, congratulations 🎉 that’s a game changer

[@petranilla14]

I had a stupid grin on my face the entire time !!!! Congratulations!! Time to get your rainwater catchment.

[@ScottByeTX]

The video we’ve all been waiting for, concrete!!! 😎

[@paullarocque2158]

Stumbled across your channel and I've been binge watching your videos! My wife is laughing at me because I can't stop!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks so much for watching all of our videos! 🙌

[@da7heaven]

Congratulations on this huge accomplishment; it's the culmination of tons of hard work and ingenuity! It's also a monumental milestone in the wonderful things to come! Great job!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thank you Derek! Sometimes it feels like an endless battle, but when we get a win like this is makes it all worth it.

[@fuddmethen]

wow what a nice company to make a loaded dry run for you, congrats to them for lending a helping hand

[@midway241]

I know the feeling on “Concrete Pour Day”! It’s the most exciting day in our family owned home building company. Our son has taken over and now he takes his kids out of school (like we did) on concrete day. We taught our kids the love we had for building and how hard work pays off. Our grandson was so excited he didn’t sleep well the night before. Congratulations!

[@peterwildey5865]

Stumbled on your page on my return from Vietnam and you're the first page I pull up.. I'm addicted guys so don't stop now (is that a song) 😊

[@grantguy8933]

your guys' chemistry is off the chart, that's the key for the success of this channel, and all the adventures down the road!!!! go guys!

[@robs7901]

WOW ITS DONE!! Comigrations . looks great . Did you add doggie paw prints ? It was so nice for you to sit back and watch the pour. With all the work you have done to get the road ready you deserved the break. Now the next big job is to get the shop set up. With the shop being used for do metal work. Welding and cutting are you putting in a exhaust fan in? I enjoyed the video so much. Cant wait till see what up next week

[@WestonPullen]

I love watching you guys finish projects 1 by 1. Great job...

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks Weston!

[@dwyman1972]

Hire the concrete out. We could not find any one to do our 20 x 30 carport, so we tried it ourselves. We did it, but it was hard. Luckily we had a VERY good cement driver, he helped and gave good advice. Next time we are hiring it out.

[@bernonic]

when you choose to do hard things and overcome by perseverance it's the most rewarding sense of accomplishment - congrats to both of you

[@scottsheck]

I loved seeing that new side road. I can’t get enough of the road building

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Oh man, we have so much road building content coming your way starting Sunday! 🎉

[@scottsheck]

@@AmbitionStrikes oh great! Getting that huge bull dozer was such a great addition.

[@kennethgibbons366]

You guys are amazing. I have been watching a lot of your earlier videos and Its hard to do anything else as they have dominated my life at the moment. I'm a 73 year old New Zealander who struggles to do a lot of stuff that I used to do owing to arthritis and I have to ask my wife to help me with tasks these days. We have been married for 51 years and in this day and age its good to hear you are a married couple. So I wish you well with all your projects.

[@berndheiden7630]

I beat you by 2 years! I‘m 75 y/o living in Mallorca and am presently binge watching from the beginning and having a good time watching the amazing accomplishments so far. And you are right: seeing a young married couple not afraid to get their hands dirty (and with a background to not being afraid of technical as well as electrical and digital tasks) is heartwarming! That is the can do attitude I learned back in 1966 when I graduated from high school in Florida (as an exchange student from Germany). It‘s good to see that spirit is still alive (I have kept it all my live).

[@antondefense3325]

Damm, you guys are outstanding. You don't sleep in, you get up and get the job done.

[@retiredlogman]

Courtney and Ryan congratulations ! I know you are "over the Moon" because if you were able to pour the concrete, you told me, you would be. I have poured many truck loads through the years and was impressed by your crew. Your journey is progressing because of the teamwork you have. As the seasons change you will appreciate this winter what a positive contribution "double wide" has made. Thank you for sharing your journey and your zest for life.

[@JohnDoe-vx4ni]

Yea,it's great having an actual garage floor ! All your hard work paid off ! Yup, "Winter is coming ". It comes fast ! Prepare that road for snow and water ! Is your " electrical room" winter ready ? Keep up the good work ,you too are a great team. are you going to build a lumber room ? All you need is a roof and 3 walls. something to protect your lumber from the snow and rain, give it a chance to dry out. Something simple. Thanks for the drone footage, people need to see all the work you did on the road.

[@jbarvideo12]

Congratulations on finally getting concrete pour professionals to pour and finish the concrete. Looks great. I was impressed (again) seeing the wide road you made with the Caterpiller.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks Jay!

[@timothytate3968]

Building the new road payed off. The concrete trucks got up the road with no problems and y'all got the concrete poured. So happy for y'all.

[@billintexas7061]

Awesome! That was a great job to let someone else do. You have really outdone yourselves on so many things at your homestead! Take a victory lap! You two certainly deserve it!

[@jeffpbillings7698]

I hope INTERSTATE gave you a deal ,Thats probably the best commercial they have ever had. Great vlog, winter should be a blast there.

[@intrepidzephyr]

Riley’s recap of the summer really hit me. You guys are going hard and got so so much done. 🎉

[@mountainblokemoments]

Well done what a different day to the first load of concrete and having to dump it to get the truck out. Look forward to the shop fitout. 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺

[@lory2622]

I feel more relieved than I really should. I mean, I think I might be over invested in your barndominium. Well done kids.

[@bryancherry9253]

I know that is a relief to get the concrete poured. Rileys comments about his unease(?) with subcontracting out the concrete ring very true. Back in the day, I swung a hammer and bent nails as a framer, work some finish work and even drywall. Now I manage construction projects and have always enjoyed watch and learning from the various trades that I supervised. It's never as easy as it looks. My big take away is that there are somethings that are absolutely worth subcontracting. Concrete is one of those. Bad pour will haunt you for a long time and it's not an easy once to fix; unlike ripping out a bad framing job or repairing a bad taping job. You now know much more about pouring concrete than you did before. Curiosity and a willingness to try is an attribute that we all need to develop.

[@carolewarner101]

Wow...congratulations you two. The incredible amount of work you had to do to make that happen was amazing. WELL DONE!!!

[@georgedreisch2662]

Good call on the use of the excess concrete. I posted a comment about having such a project setup, before I watched the video in it’s entirety, that I deleted. Once again, good call on using the excess, and great video.

[@garydavis786]

I'll just repeat what everyone thinks and says, "You guys are truly amazing!"

[@thepunadude]

YA DID GOOD! I MISSED ALL THE APARTMENT WORK .. LOOKS 'SHOTGUN SHACK' NARROW & LONG! IF IT WORKS, IT WORKS!

[@TrzCharlie]

So very happy this time around worked out for you two. Love that you take us along on the adventure.

[@joyszillachannel7289]

Congratulations, your long wait has finally come true.

[@GettsWild]

So pumped for you guys! My wife and I have been working on big house projects all summer here in New Hampshire and watching your videos keeps us motivated to keep going each day. Can't wait to see the next projects! We're also about to redo the concrete and rewire our garage. Wish us luck!

[@WimVandeputte]

'Pumped' I see what you did there :-)

[@MrQbee87]

Maaaan. I love the smell of concrete in the morning.

[@TheStyx91]

That's a beautiful floor! Relieved it all worked out in the end. Now the building is almost done!!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We can't believe it! Congratulations again on becoming a Dad!!

[@chrisatty]

Well done with the concrete. Chris from Thailand. ❤

[@kostaskostis6469]

Gratz guys!! There is something magical when you see yourself conquering a big challenge you had set for yourself!!

[@gccchc2449]

You guys show the power of the pioneer spirit. What is called a Can Do attitude.

[@htwrk2]

The fun part is setting up and organizing the shop!

[@timburk6097]

What a relief to have this worry gone! Nice!

[@daviddelancey400]

So glad to finally see the slab get poured. Looking really great!! Look forward to see what will happen next.

[@HaydnRees]

i write sofftware in London. I'll probably never drive a Bulldozer or build a road. No pressure, but I'm living vicariously through you. Keep the Bulldozer videos coming please.

[@rodcharlton1889]

Congrats on a new concrete floor. The nice thing is even if you have to shove everything back into the shop in a hurry to beat winter, you can still work on things inside. Much better than fighting the cold and the wet trying to get things moved around. Looking forward to seeing the shop finished out. It's been a long hard summer for you, but it will pay off for years to come.

[@marcericdavis]

Yahoo!! Nice that you gave Interstate some promo time. They've treated you right.

[@MrPaulviles]

Sometimes it is just quicker, easier, cheaper and a better outcome to get professionals to do things. The trick is knowing your limits but not being afraid to try. Awesome work, looking forward to more adventures! 🎉

[@bobhale8325]

Since Wifey and I are catcing up on videos, we watched the fail and then success one after the other. Just pick and choose what we watch.

[@Soleya9]

So happy to see your slab go in without issues. Was really bummed for you guys when the truck couldn't get up last time.

[@allenwatts3960]

YOU GUYS DID ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT THING BY HIRING A GOOD CONCRETE CREW 👏

[@capt.stubing5604]

Congratulations on a successful pour. You two just don’t let anything stop you and that is a quality we can never get enough of.

[@nhhn5213]

I Look forward to your videos, I have 40 acres that I’ve been working on for 23 years, always maintenance projects. Love to see someone building from scratch. Thank you all you do!

[@freeman4611]

I'm happy that you all finally got your concrete pad down. Watching Riley through all his tribulations was inspiring. Both of you have kept me watching to see what would happen next. Keep it up!

[@redtop03]

I crossed my fingers and eyes but couldn't cross my toes, I almost choked on my coffee when you said "cross your eyes" though LOL congrats guys, things are back on track looks like, can't wait to see some new project builds, y'all got my attention on the camper build, peaked my interest on the jeep tracks, and completely hooked me with the homestead build, glad to see it all coming together.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Congratulations on getting the cement all poured! Love watching!

[@michaelpayne1737]

.Sweet! I knew the new road would make this project a success. Now on to finishing the inside. I'm tired just thinking about it. Lol

[@bobfarrell6510]

Congratulations. The new floor is a great reward for all of the hard work you guys have done this summer. Happy for you...

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

How cool, a very demanding and needed work done...winter is arriving...what a relief 💫

[@dougf94912]

This episode put a big smile on my face, congratulations on achieving this major milestone!

[@olivia-nelson]

God bless you and your family always. Let every moment spent next to your family bring you only joy, smiles, harmony in your soul, and a good mood!

[@josephrolph4858]

Happy that you now have a concrete floor in your shop you both have worked really hard this summer always look forward to your next video

[@SaYeager]

Slab looks great I admire your restraint in not moving the stuff back in for now. Which would mean forever.

[@leethompson7290]

I'm so happy for you both. Now you can hit it hard and be ready for winter and your new safer road will help you get to town and back.👍❤️🙏

[@stuartkorte1642]

Right decision on framing and pouring the stoop now. Surprise he didn’t bring trowel in the garage door especially since it’s hardening already. Floor will be a game changer for sure. Congrats on another milestone.

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands . congratulations on the fact that the concrete was poured and therefore also that you have made the road right. When pouring concrete you always have either too little or too much. so always prepare a pouring mold in advance for the concrete surplus. this can be something as simple as that step at your door. or you can make a step or a generator plate like that . just take a sheet of plywood with wooden beams screwed to it and you have a loose mobile concrete mold that you can quickly place anywhere to fill. keep in mind that in a loose concrete mold you actually collapse upside down. so the bottom IN the mold actually becomes the top of your concrete. but you can also take advantage of this. because if you, for example, make wooden letters in mirror image and screwed them onto the bottom plate of your mold, then you have, for example, poured your initials into the concrete. thanks for the video AS . Sincerely, Hollandduck

[@StillCrazyFL]

I had to almost laugh but really smirk a bit to see such a young couple get so excited about something as routine as a concrete delivery! However, upon reflection, I fully understand. My construction and major project days are many decades behind me now, as turning 80 last April will attest. I know the feeling of excitement when hard work and meticulous planning results in a job/project well done. Never loose that joy. However, I’ll bet that concrete slab is only the pavement of a long road yet to be traveled.

[@president2]

Fabulous great video great project you guys made me cry, that's what old men do when they see the youngsters really doing it incredible! Smart idea to have a crew if you don't know what you're doing with concrete especially.

[@jeffholverson8294]

What up? Hoping for my weekly energy and motivation fix. You both have really a further reach and a broader effect than I think you realize... those of us who can't live vicariously through you.

[@georgevangordon9728]

Yay 😀 what a successful summer you guys have had although it’s been a challenge. Concrete is one thing you only get one shot at getting it right. In my opinion hiring professionals is absolutely the right thing to do sincerely happy for you guys

[@markmitchell457]

Well they got 2, one just got gooped down the side of the hill 🙄. It's not the mistakes, it's the recovery that counts.

[@wjhann4836]

Yes - one has to know when to get help. - they hadn't have any experience - the job has to be done in one, or max. 2 days. BUT there is so much to do during that day - simply much more work than 2 persons could do. So IMHO that was the only good decision.

[@kennyronful]

I was glad to see a slab-on-grade with curing compound applied after finishing. It seals in the mix water so the concrete reaches it's design strength as it cures. It makes a difference and it apparently is not used by most people / contractors on videos like KZbin.

[@bradjames6748]

Preparing for winter is always a smart move, I live out on the coast in Vancouver B.C. and even here the mornings are getting crisp and over near you guys in Cranbrook even more so ,best of luck with the new shop, looks great!!!

[@johngermain3535]

Enjoyed the victory of pouring cement well done.

[@Dekn33s]

Congrats y’all! The shop looks amazing. I never knew how long concrete took, glad you hired pros

[@garyschone6306]

Looking for more vids about Bacar the Dozer! I keep watching every episode multiple times… your efforts is encouraging me in my house rebuild here in Colo…

[@northerntrouble]

Congratulations, on the amazing jobs you both have achieved this summer with your homestead!! I know you guys have had times, when you were second guessing your decisions and overwhelmed at times!! But I’m glad you pushed though and look at the payback your getting moving forward!! One good thing about the old road bed is now you have places to put fill from future projects or even use them for project areas!! You guys are amazing your complement each other very well!! I’m glad to be part of your channel, and can’t wait to see more of what to come on the channel in the future.

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good Sunday morning & rhank you for sharing your journey with us . Have a wonderful & blessed day

[@raycheshire5581]

Fantastic job both by you guys for all the prep and to the concrete guys for getting the slab poured and finished. Hopefully you'll soon be finish off the barn and be ready for the rest of your dreams to come true. As we've all said before you too are a great team and truly inspirational. Have a lovely week!

[@terrymcwhorter5403]

Yea!!!! Congrats on getting the concrete poured.

[@BoomerKeith1]

This is a seminal moment in your journey guys! Really proud of what you both have done and this is a major milestone. Can't wait for the future!

[@leoncolyer9420]

Great job Interstate concrete, and also your wonderful laborers

[@anthonyvdv7]

YES Concrete slab in place, time to get that shop build and many projects to come! Super Cool. Love & Light

[@jacklomas7965]

Omg all the hard work you to has finally paid off. I am very happy for you both. Now it’s time to prepared for old man winter and he can bea badass sometimes lol. Good luck!❤

[@MelloBlend]

Congratulations on this milestone day....good anniversary present....LATE!!!!! Happy Anniversary too

[@justsilman]

This is so awesome, I can’t wait to see what other kinds of adventures you two will get into now. Truly love this channel.

[@Huskyresqr]

I keep closed captions on most of the time because I'm hard of hearing (Navy Jets) and sometimes your mike is a bit low....so today, when Riley pointed out that there was barely two sacks of concrete leftover from the pour, closed captioning translated that to "two saxophones left over....." not bad..... :)

[@AmbitionStrikes]

😂

[@Ronn443]

This is so cool to see you accomplish this mike stone. You have worked so hard and have a nice place to show for it.

[@t.r.766]

Take the landing experience as a learning curve the mason’s that do this work day in and out are worth every penny. As a landscape contractor I always said you want “A” grade work you higher the right amount of finishers you will get what you pay for. One finisher for every 200-250 sq ft of slab to be finished and you won’t have to do it over again.Good job by the concrete Co to do a dry/H20 run up the new road.Love when a plan comes together even 2 months late the double wide work was exciting !

[@brianmckee7470]

I have had a long and bad 2 weeks, and seeing you two get your floor poured has changed my mood. As John Wilson said, I also smiled through the whole video. We are so happy for you two word can not express. GREAT JOB your hard work paid off

[@AmbitionStrikes]

I hope this week brings some better days your way.

[@matto7482]

Nicely done Congratulations Life often a sprint & a marathon Must be gratifying along w your new road

[@sandie062985]

Congratulations on the pour it takes time and patience end the end the results are beautiful. As always be safe ❤❤❤❤

[@jerrypeal653]

That’s spectacular. Through the ups and downs you kept pushed and it’s amazing what can be accomplished! Keep smiling!

[@mschack63]

Congrats on another achievement. You kids are the best! Sure can't wait for you to move the table in so I can live vicariously through you while you build stuff. Time to get excited.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We’re counting the days until we can get that plasma table fired up again!

[@karenriggle5435]

We had our shop floor put in slip and fall smooth and when nothing gets wet Katie Bar the Door hang on to anything... we had our slab cut and 4x4 squares and it's been 8 years and we have no floor cracks because we did that.. sealer is very good because otherwise the cement gives off dust and everything is always covered with a layer of dust with the sealer you won't have that

[@anthonycampbell4534]

Congratulations! Must feel great on such a tremendous accomplishment. That road work is impressive! And now you have a poured concrete floor. I can't imagine the feelings you must have has at seeing the trucks traverse your road.

[@dontask8979]

Wow that was a soupy pour. Congratulations on having this behind you! Now you can get the waist oil heater permanently set up before winter. Maybe add a large tank and have it filled before winter and heat will be DONE.

[@philipdamask2279]

It did not look overly soopy to me. You should see some of the stuff coming out of the shoots nowadays. It would be interesting for Riley to tell us what the concrete mix design was including any additives. I heard it got cool later in the day so maybe they used accelerator.

[@PaddockRadio]

Guys it looks beautiful! Any chance of a long static video of the power trowel working that little section I saw? It looks so satisfying
