Why Am I Moving To Goodsprings, NV?

[@georgespangler1517]

I designed and built over 50 homes and countless remodeling jobs and additions and now at 62 started a business restoring classic cars, never too late to reset.

[@michaeljames5708]

I agree I've been in a poster for over 50 years and 3rd generation and I also build my own hot rods..... Now I'm getting it to remodeling a building vintage buildings

[@smokinjoeprestwood5889]

I've been following you for about 5 or 6 years. Became aware of you on "Vegas Rat Rods." I'm 73 years old, and I can relate to your visions. I will be following you as long as I am alive....✌️

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks, Smokin Joe! Appreciate you following along.

[@donnamass9576]

Gramma & grandpa, and mom/siblings grew up in Goodsprings. Jacobson was their name. I visited many times as a youngin’ and go back as often as I can. I LOVE GOODSPRINGS! And I’ll be back and I’m 70 now. The Historical Society has helped this town so much, thanks to the lead of Steve Fleming and the ol’timers. Love ya mom and still Love your town.

[@WelderUpVegas]

If Jacobson's are here, I will get to know them. I have great neighbors already.

[@theriv132]

My friend lives in Goodsprings and created the little museum in the old post office. His mom runs it too...he said most of the town are his relatives. Good people. You're gonna have great neighbors!

[@WelderUpVegas]

I do have great neighbors. Already know half the town.

[@davidklauer3422]

Excellent Good to see that someone cares about history, and saving it for future generations

[@leonardsmith2198]

You are making a good move, in my opinion. I moved out here 23 years ago, no regrets.

Best of luck on your new digs and life changes l will continue to follow your journey, Steve.

[@colebertils7359]

Pastor at church this morning said something about imagination in his sermon. While I don’t remember his exact words, I’m reminded of your creations Steve. It’s like you never grew out of having a child like imagination. Whether building cool rods or rebuilding a historic town, acting upon your imagination is like acting out childhood games.

[@RickyPinkston]

Everyone needs a slow it down time in our life's at some point and some just don,t know how to make that happen one they don,t know how or at a point they can,t but as a old man I have very much enjoyed that time life was SIMPLE less STRESS and LIFE SEEMED to have MEANINGS and a PURPOSE as someone who's lived it WELL BOY GIRL WE SURE COULD USE IT AGAIN MAYBE WE WOULD REBOOT TIME AND NEVER EVER WANT TO BE WHERE WE,RE AT EVER EVER AGAIN YES LIKE THAT OLD SONG IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME AGAIN

[@WelderUpVegas]

You and the Pastor have that right! Can't remember the last time I was this excited about something. Maybe my BMX bike. Same imagination.

*WelderUp* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@lenjackson6842]

I've always liked your projects , and I'm really digging this side of you coming out , back in the day , the word 'cool' didn't even exist , and you are going back in time and taking everything that they built out of necessity and putting a modern 'cool' twist on every part of it , which is beyond 'cool' , it's ' bad'acid ' man ...

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thank you so much, I appreciate your comment! Cool and bad acid. I like it!

[@chepeloc28]

I can’t wait to see it rebuilt, I lov your vision 👍🏻 blessings!!

[@YoungoneYoung-lm4xe]

I like the analogy : I'm circling the drain, in regards to life and time. We're the same age, so I understand how you feel about change. I've lost my family : both parents, 2 sisters and my only brother. I have one sister left who's fighting breast cancer and having suffered so much loss, I've learned that what time we do have on this great planet should be spent doing what we love and making it a better place for everyone to enjoy.

[@WelderUpVegas]

Absolutely, I agree!

[@georgeprietz4424]

Good lord I love this video. I can’t wait to see what you do. I love the old Nevada too. My mom had so many relics and artifacts. All from the Hoover dam era.

Steve, great vid! If you want to save the willow tree you have to occasionally " top it " because they have a tendency to overgrow from the top killing the tree below .Also keep it away from septic systems ,their roots will go 599 feet searching for H2O .

[@danielkingery2894]

Do NOT deny yourself the amazing jump into history of having wood cook stove chili and cornbread on cold day. My gramma cooked on wood her entire life. Nothing was better than chicken fried in cast iron or the chili/soup that cooked from daybreak til lunch and hot, fresh corn bread from that oven.

[@richardbrady2818]

Just living the dream! I'm gonna have to come visit!

[@WelderUpVegas]

Come on, happy to have you!

[@lyndengrant1657]

The day you stop dreaming is the day to pack it up in my view! You definitely have a great sense of direction and it will be great once you get just a little done so then you can see the bigger picture. We are the same age and I still dream big. I know my body isn't that of a 25 year old but I accept that. 3 years ago I sold up and moved from the town where I grew up in and moved to the edge the Lake District in England which is my dream. Just an old land settlement cottage with a little land and garage so now just making it ours. It's also on my list to come and visit you! Take care.

[@WelderUpVegas]

Sounds like your dreams come true, it also sounds wonderful. In a couple of years, I hope to be ready for you to come see my dream.

[@nevillejohnson8316]

Greetings from down under... Looks an amazing place to be. Will be watching with enthusiasm as you build this dream. All the old home's where I live are being bulldozed, and they're not that old, in favour of new shoe boxes. The new one's really are a blight on the landscape compared to what you're looking at out there.

[@WelderUpVegas]

Greetings down under. Happening everywhere, sad to see! we are going to save this one.

That's funny Steve I was just having this conversation with my sister we were talking about people taking poops 3 -4 time's a day I was saying they are eating to much. People living in the Early teen's and before had to work to eat before refrigerator they either ate veggies or an eggs, Bacon something that last a few day's . I have been thinking how my great great grandparents survived that's why I'm here today. I often think how they got by day to day I always get people telling me that me and my brothers reminds them of people that lived back in the 1950's they way we speak and the way we do thing's around the compound.

I think every thing your doing there is going to be bad ass. I love old towns. Atlanta Asheville and Greenville is my city’s and pigeon forge TN is our rod run town. But Steve every thing these days are going sideways. I work mobile mechanic and landscaping. Road house 66 was always a movie favorite of mine and I’ve always wanted to come see your state. Can’t wait to see your town. I need your welding school. I’ve never got good at it mainly because I’ve self taught. Well if you ever come to the Carolinas I will show you around!!! Bye

It's great to see your interest in bringing back some of the history of Goodsprings. It's such a cool little town. If you ever interested in exploring some of the old mines in the area, I'd be glad to take you through a couple of them that are close by. (Or I can send underground photos and videos of them.) The miners pulled a LOT of zinc & lead (and a bit of gold) out of the hills around town. They really are quite amazing. There was a narrow gauge railroad that hauled ore from the Yellowpine mine down to a railhead in Jean. Of course there was a mill just outside of town that processed ore from some of the other local mines. So much history in the area. 👍

Nice ambition Steve.., Go Goodsprings! I like Nevada BTW! You have alot of the resources and things there on the property as you said. I love old history about mining, the old west, cars and or automobiles from yesterday. Real American history. If we lose our History, we lose our Identity to who we are as a people. I know there are alot of people that could care less, but there are people that still care and ones that are waiting to hear it, just don't know it yet. Your story is one that needs to be wrote and told and I promise you someone will listen. Our country was built on farming, mining, manufacturing and just making things. We need to get back to that in one form or another. I think you can make your dream happen.👍 Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇸👍

This is first time I’ve seen any of your stuff since the television show which I believe was canceled, so I only know anymore than what you’re presenting in this video but I like the sound of it. I would’ve really liked to have done something similar myself but I don’t think I’m gonna get there in this lifetime. I pretty much lost everything taking care of a parent with ALZ for 10 years and than a foreclosure sale in the house I’ll I have is most of my tools and equipment and a tiny camper and Jeep that the bank owns. What that was my dream as well.

Very cool I was in New Brunswick years ago and they gathered up all the old buildings around the Provence and made an old Acadia town. Some of those buildings went back to the 17 hundreds. To go into the town we had to park outside the gate and take a horse drawn wagon in. The town had shops and all of the town was ran like it was back in the 17/18 hundreds. It was very cool. Your vision for such a town would sure be a blast from the past.

[@tt600pch]

There is a lot of truth in the words you say. America was BUILT not bought. I'm only 61 and feel like the last of the dinosaurs. We do need to get more on the job kids that will get blisters, bleed and appreciate a finished project. A big circle sawmill to make beams and lumber from big cleanup logs would be very useful in the remodels. The firewood bucksaw can chop the smaller stuff up. (A big Woodmizer bandmill would be more effective, but you wouldn't get the circle saw tooth marks on the finished product) I built a small circle mill from old edger saws I picked from a cleanup at the mill I worked at. 20 years ago. My dad would visit, and I'd saw lodgepole into lumber with him. He was born in 1927 and taught me if you couldn't buy it, you built it. He was a millwright, so I was too. My on the time in the job lasted 30 years. My son followed me in the millwright/mechanic career as well. Now his 15 year old son is a crafty mosquito as well. I may need to do a road trip one day to see your place. Maybe after I'm healed up from my last surgery, I will actually make the trip. Life is short and even shorter when heaven calls your wife home.
