To Jordan ands Kaylee: I know in my heart, you'll never read this comment, but, I'm old. 75, single, and I've followed you two for a long time. You two have come a long way together. I searched my entire life, to have a connection/relationship like you two have. I'm excited for you two, and a bit depressed for my path, but I just want you to know that what you have is GOLDEN! Don't take a millisecond of it for granted!!!!
They most likely will read your note. I'm Jordan's dad and I know my son takes a lot after me. I've taught him to work his butt off, but at the same time to appreciate the ones who appreciate him. Jordan and Kaylee are listening to you. I hope you're enjoying their journey as much as I do. They're pretty awesome..
@@dougsaglio2095I am crying after reading these two comments ❤❤❤
Bob, just buy a Harley, or a Vespa, Dude. You'll get a hottie on day 3/65...
Turned 62 yesterday and I 100% agree 😊
Bobby, don’t be depressed. You don’t need other people to be happy. Revel in your independence and take pleasure in the simple things you see and do in life 😊
Hi kaylee, jordan and baby sadie. What a blessing. I had a client this morning and i told him i wanted to live off the land and leave society behind and he told me i sound a lot like his youngest. He saiid his daughter and her boyfriend are building their dream house in Panama and they are getting married thus April. They just had a little girl. But they started with nothing in thei bank account. He was your dad. What a proud one he is of you. I couldnt be more inspired. Thank you for sharing this journey. Im sure im one in a million who yall have really touched. I have faith this is the start of a very big opportunity for us. I would love to touch base with you and pick your brain.
His dad?
@@aisaasvat8791 Sounds like Kaylee's dad
@@aisaasvat8791 What part of “He said his DAUGHTER and her boyfriend….” confused you?
I bet that was awesome
Go buy wire ties with the loops already on them. They come in packs of 1000. The only purpose of the tie is to position rebar until the concrete sets. Do things the easy way now, because you have a lot to do! That's gonna be a great house!
And pull the twister up and spin. So fast once you get the hang of ti.
I can confirm this,I'm a professional concrete worker.
I doubt they have them down there. I do agree that one wrap is enough. Once it's encased in concrete it won't matter.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦😊
Exactly! Maybe even the electric/Battery operated wire tier would be a great choice since they have so much wire to tie, 😂
When my husband built our first house he spent about two weeks every night sertting our corners of the foundation and I got a bit grumpy about let’s get started. I never forgot what he said, this foundation is one of the most important things we have to settle now before we go any further because once we start building it cannot be changed. As we continued I soon realized just how important it was that the foundation has to be perfect. So do it right now or you will be having more problems later. Good Luck. You have built some beautiful bldgs so far so you will do fine❤
I love following your journey. Your mission to hire and train locals is so heartfelt. I love hearing Jordan get more fluent and confident in his Spanish speaking skills as well. Win-win!
@jackie, those guys are pros
What kind of say their training each other. Because Jordan doesn't know what he's doing either. 🤦🏾♂️
@@IandiBoats also many experienced people in the comment section pitching in. #ItTakesAVilliage
Hello beautiful people,yes it is always a small set back when something happens like the holes being a little bit off alignment but man a “HUGE” shout out to y’all and that “AMAZING” group of “HARD WORKING” and eager to learn team of men you have helping you and what an amazing job EVERYONE is doing 🥳👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
As Trent and allie would say, it's just a hair out of square! You are going to just fine. Keep up the good work. Much love ❤️ from Fresno CA USA ❤ Will attend your wedding, in spirit. Hugs! and kisses
The best thing you can do for your team is to teach them each step in building a home, they will in turn teach their own to do it and you will forever leave a legacy.
If you stick both ends of the wire into an electric drill (where drill bit goes) when you turn it on it twists the wire for you 🫶🏻👏🏼🙏🤘🏻❤️🔥❤️❤️🔥
Great idea
you can also put a bent nail instead of the drill bit
I ran that by him, but he said it was more bother than it was worth.
Machine sewing is a great skill to take up. So many uses. My Grandma taught me to sew in 7th grade. From that point on I always made my own bedroom curtains as I moved from house to house with my dad’s USAF assignments. Later as an adult, I kept making the curtains for every house we moved to in my husband’s 30 year Air Force career. I tried to teach my daughter just the basics but she wasn’t interested. But our son learned in 8th grade and he’s still sewing Copley outfits for the conventions he goes to. He has not been sewing his own curtains though as he’s now moving around in his AF career, but there’s hope! LOL
These gentlemen are absolute legends!!! What the hell their endurance, strength and stamina are shocking!!!!
Long time watcher, love you guys. I'm Red Seal Residential, Commercial and Industrial carpenter of 25 yrs.
Use saddle ties for the rebar. it will totally strengthen your cages. It's just an industry engineered way of tying the bar, but it works.
You only need to do the tie wire saddle ties intermittently. It's a Rod busters anchor for tying bar.
The First Foundation has cement in it. this is the start of Building. that is a huge milestone after all that digging. your workforce is brilliant, and they are learning more with each and every task
My 9 year old daughter Nixie and I enjoy watching your videos together on the weekend, You're doing great cant wait to see the start of the house going up.
Love Gee and nixie
Sadie is having the Best Childhood EVER!!! 😍
What a unique little Soul she is!
The guy’s alway’s give 110%👏🏼👍🏼🤘🏻❤️ps happy sewing 😊😊
I have not ever given the two of you the credit you deserve. You are the only vloggers that I watch on a permanent basis that got your priorities correct. The almost second you guys found out Sadie was coming you put income first before anything else. Your coffee stand came first then a good supply for it. Then came improvements to your living space. Then came tea now finally your home. I have watched what positive vibes that you put out and with each comes a bounty back. I only pray that you don't leave Sadie a only child. You are such great parents don't limit yourself to one and done... It is entirely up to you because Sadie is such a well rounded child but she will never have companion ship of another child made by you after you are gone. I guarantee you already have contingencies set up Jordan that is what truly keeps you up at night. You just don't want to admit it to yourself. Keep up the good work guys see u Sunday. Also go on another weekend trip checking on new products. It is never to early to get ahead of competition. Plus it is a good stress remover even for a short weekend trip. ❤❤😊
What a great crew. Grtting the first one down. That’s awesome.
You got a sawing machine! Yes! I got one for Christmas, -funny story- i asked for a sewing machine for Christmas and my wife was like, what? Do you know how to sew? I said No but youtube will teach me. I just finished my 5th quilt, I’ll start with curtains next.
Enjoy! Cant wait to see what you make
❤❤❤❤❤
I am so proud of you both. Not a good job, a great job and you are showing other people what can be done.
Kaylee, here’s some tips for sewing. Speed and over confidence are you’re worst enemy, your iron is your best friend and you will develop a love hate relationship with your seam ripper. Also start small and simple. I can totally see you as a quilter! You guys are awesome and your crew of men is top notch!
Your little craft room is going to bring you and Sadie much joy!
I poured the foundation for my house in 1981 at the age of 20. We used two 10 yard loads of con mix, 120ea 90lb sacks of cement and two cement mixers. There were six of us mixing and pouring. We started at 6:00AM and finished at 8:30PM. Still ranks up there in the top ten hardest working days of my life.
What an interesting video! I moaned when you said the measurements were off, but you took it in stride. That was amazing watching your crew set those pillars! They really are something!! Good luck with your new sewing machine, Kayleigh!! You are going to love it! Sadie will have fun watching and learning! When she is a little older, she will be able to make things, too. If they have cardboard sewing pieces available, she can sew those while you sew on the machine. If you can’t find them, make your own for her. Draw an animal shape on cardboard, cut out, punch an even amount of holes around the edge, thread a needle with yarn, leave a tail at the beginning for tiring off, and sew up and down in the holes going all the way around. Tie off with the two tails to finish! The best needle for her little hands would be one that is used for sewing knitted pieces together. They are plastic with a large eye…and not sharp. She can color the cardboard and add eyes for her animal! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻
Love watching you all work so hard. The house will be a grand mansion from the tiny house. Can’t wait for it. What’s coming after the house is finished? Thanks for sharing your life with us.❤️
I bought Dream by BEAM for my 26 year old Son for Christmas through Your Name with a monthly subscription and HE LOVES IT. He has ADHD and NEVER sleeps but WHAT A DIFFERENCE and He feels better at work also!!! Great Video ❤. Sending Much Love From Western Upstate NY ❣️
That song Jordan came up with about moving more dirt, LMAO!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Kaylee that’s a beautiful desk, and so important for Sadie to have a designated space for her homeschooling, but I also love that it’s multifunctional and that was adorable when Jordan’s editing was included and he got so excited! 🥰❤️ I love your adorable little family, I love everything and everyone on Lola’s Farm, and I’m so excited you’ve got one concrete footer in!!! 🙌🏻✨❤️ LETS GOOOOO!!!!
MMMGA = Make Morning Movement Great Again. My husband and I are sitting here drinking our fresh just got in the mail Movement coffee… mmmmmmm… and texting each other from across the house how much we love it!! We still miss the old name!! ❤❤❤❤
I'm so impressed with your willingness to commit to HARD WORK!
Hard workers loving people. Great job. Love you all, Jordan Kaylee Sadie Rodrigo, Freddie, Eberto, Enrique all the others 👍👏👏❤❤😊
You will love sewing! I taught myself to sew I started with pillow cases. Move on to maternity clothes then baby clothes and all little girl clothes. The next baby was a boy so I challenged myself to putting zippers in little boy clothing and one Easter I made him a three piece suit and a shirt. I was so proud of that suit. .y daughter go a beautiful blue satin dress that year for Easter. Satin is not easy to sew. Takes special needles for the sewing machine. Good luck.
You guys and all your crew need to be very proud of all your accomplishments you have done so far on the building of your dream home. I love watching all the progress. Take care.😄💜💛💚💙
I’ll say this much for you Jordan you never do things by half, you both give this your all and the guys helping you 👍
You've got the cleanest dirt I've ever seen. If I want to plant a small bare root tree, I first have to fight the soil pulling out roots, branches, rocks and other debris. I'm glad you have untouched land, assuming that's the reason why it's so clean. ❤
Does this old heart good to know that a young whipper snapper like Jordan knows who 'Cream' is, hello old friend !!
If all buildings in the US were anchored down this way, hurricanes and storms wouldn't be a second thought. Nothing would ever blow away.
lol a tornado can rip steel girl .. I guess you aren’t from Oklahoma . 😂😂😂
Why don’t you tack-weld the rebar since you have a welder? Would it take longer than using the wire? 😊 Suggestion - line up 10 rebar sticks that has been cut for the column squares next to each other, get some sort of paint and mark the bend measurement on all of them by making a line across. That way you can quickly bend them and don’t have to stop and measure each one.
Great teaching Sadie the joy of giving what she does not need to kids to have less. Lesson for life! 💕
My grandmother was a genuine tailor with her shop 1930’s thru 1950’s. This led me to periodically fantasize that I had inherited her gift. I would go through these sewing periods in my 20’s & 30’s that were always a disaster. I finally came to terms with my lack of sewing talent in my 40’s. Instead I turned to making jewelry which it turns out I’m quite good at. If your sewing is unsuccessful you might find that your talent lies in a different craft.
What a team! Is awesome watching you all working it out and getting it done 💪💪💪
I love your enthusiasm. You guys make a great couple. And Sadie is absolutely precious 💞💞 A HUGE THUMBS UP for those hard working guys. WOW-OOO!!!❤❤🎉🎉😅😅
Just like your own relationship, your home's foundation will be firm and strong by all the work you've put into it. No cutting corners on the work done, and the fact that you are bringing in locals and creating value in their own lives in this experience, that is the (coffee) cherry on top! The love you are pouring into this project - THAT is the secret sauce - it's gonna make that cement stand strong forever. Your journey is inspiring, thank you for sharing it they way you do.
Look'n fantastic! You have the best crew. Jordan, you're such a great example of a loving and hard-working man,a true leader.
Happy sewing, Kaylee .
Fold the wire in half over the hook and keep this loop on the hook while you drop the ends down the back side of the join to be made.
Bend the tails together under the join and up the front and over the hook again in front of the join so you now have three loops on the hook and the doubled wire around the join. Spin. Done. Pre cut your wires once you know how long you like it.
you know you two and Trents famely is love in a storm! Just love you guys..and djungel couple is started to be a global famely..
Congratulations on your sewing machine!!! Im so excited for you all. What a beautiful life you have there 😍
I love that you are upskilling. That just adds so much value. And all we have in this life is time so you doing what you want to do even though it takes time is well worth it for you. Creating skills and memories and just building meaning in your community. Wonderful! Love from south africa 😊❤
Congratulations Jordan, Kylie, Sadie, and amazing work team on your first concrete pour!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Celebrations for a milestone❤
I was right there with you and Mr Rogers
In my experience which was back in the summer of 1969…the twister were used with wires that had loops in each end. We used them building Bridges on Interstate Highways…
“Ol’ Scooter” in East Texas.
Wowie, Congrats on sewing machine Kaylee! I’m sure mama, and Sadie, will enjoy using lots of creativity designing many, many pieces of clothing as well as linens/ draperies! Hey Jordan, your facial expressions tell exactly what frame of mind you’re in…..concrete pouring excitement!!! Well deserved y’all! Loving your videos! God bless! 🤗 🤗 🤗 ❤❤❤CarrieJo/NC
I think it’s super that you’re teaching these guys how to do this! You can be so proud and they can feel so good knowing and passing it on down the line. Everyone helping everyone. I come from a large family and this is how we all did when we were young. Just jumped in and got it done when one of us had a project. Always felt so good to do that and I wish my health would still allow it but we’re old getting old and useless.😂😂 still have lots of knowledge to pass on though. Love you guys.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Toshiba rebar cutter bender is one of the smartest decisions you have made you've made
I guess but he is still using the circular saw to cut rebar because he doesn't want to damage it? A $300 rebar tying machine would be of more use IMHO. And I'd have the guys who were digging holes bend the rebar while I put the towers together.
A true labour of love!
Kaylee! So many projects with your sewing machine. From quilts to clothing to hand bags and cloth dolls! What fun you will have teaching Sadie along the way.
The foundation is incredible. Love watching everyone build with great love and appreciation.
Thank you for sharing how to do everything with joy and love in your hearts.
Love it, what you are teaching all those guys is priceless. Very cool what your doing
I have been teaching myself to sew. Tons of good you tube videos. Christine's Home Affairs from Australia taught me a lot on making tote bags and cosmetics bags. I have also watched various videos for making baby items. There are good ones for cleaning and oiling your machine as well. I would love to get into clothing but so far have only made a pair of pj shorts, which I love and live in when I am in my house.
Y'all are so precious. I love watching y'all's adventures and teaching us great things. God bless you all.
Kaylee, you need something similar to the DreamBox. It is an all in one craft cabinet that opens wide and houses all your craft needs. The Dreambox 3 is probably too big for your space, but it may give you some inspiration on maximizing your space. I know you both have your hands full, but just thought I would mention it!
4:47min do you hear the wind? I love it it’s sunny and windy and spacious and just my favorite sound ❤
You can make your own wire twister that will do what you want with the doubled over wire. A 4 inch piece of metal with a hole drilled in it on one end. Imagine like a carpenters pencil shaped almost with the hole slightly more in diameter than the 2 wires so you can feed them through. They make small versions for twisting t post fence wires. You feed the loose wire ends through the hole then stick the other end through the looped end of the wire and twist. Probably speed wise same as the pliers but easier on the hands and wrists
Kaeli, I can’t remember lines from movies and books and music! You are not alone, in fact I feel like we don’t waste our time memorizing things that we can watch again, read again and listen to again! 😃 It’s a man thing, I think! 😢
Lots of concrete in your future. I would hope you get your hands on three more mixers and plenty of shovel's. Hats off to you. It takes courage to build your own home. I built my first home while working a full time job in 1981. Exhausting but so rewarding. You got this.
Have I told you lately how much I love you guys!!!!❤❤❤❤😊 You’re my do life your way HEROES 🎉
Sadie you ARE the BESTEST daughter ever!!!
You saved Daddy from the Scorpion and helped Mommy with the amazing all purpose corner!!!!! 🎉💕💕
AWESOME WORK 👀🥳
Hey, so glad you got a sewing machine! You will be on a wonderful journey. I suggest you start by crafting a small quilt. Basically all straight lines. Something like a patchwork quilt…hint, check out charm squares ( cuddly quilt for Sadie)
Hey you three..just a reminder. You ROCK! What a great crew you've created. Some setbacks yes, but, it's part of the process. And, K awesome to have a Sewing Machine. It's a creative and some may say a Lost Art. Sadie is blessed to have such talented parents.
Good luck with the sewing Kaylee! I started sewing when I was 7 years old & still sewing 60 years later.
Hey you guys, the footers look great!!! Your footers are Really heavily built, and you are welding steel now top of the colums, you do not need those colume exactly in line. As long as you get the four corners square the rest can be 3 inches off the center line and still not loose much strength. Your house will never move. Good luck with it all. Take Care George and Jenny
We made a square wooden box with long handles to the correct dimensions so we could fill 3 times or so with sand and rock and easily 2 people could pick it up and dump into the mixer. We always used the 5 gallon bucket (cubo) to measure out the right amount of water into the mixer FIRST! We built a 2 story large structure this way. We also had a LARGE wooden box built so that we could keep the mixer crew keeping ahead of the need for cement.
Hello you three been watching you all forever, love your episodes, so fun and interesting and God bless you all❤❤❤
Concrete is what you are making when you mix cement. sand, aggregate (stone) and water. You are doing what you need to do to get the psi you need. The concrete mix sold in the states is the mix of all those ingredients, sans water, that will work for small residential projects. You are doing a lot of hard work, for sure, but you know you are hitting the necessary psi with your "recipe!"
So happy Kaylee is going to learn to sew!!! She can make so many adorable things for Sadie!!!! Awesome job EVERYONE!!!! 🥰
Jordan you want to make that concrete not so wet. You'll lose the strength you need to Port a little bit drier. I don't know if you know anything about slump that looked like about a 9 or 10-in slump which we called soup. If you make it about a six or seven which is still wet, but at least you'll have consistency and strength. Try to dry it up before you pour it in. You might need to get a vibrator as well. That would help you tremendously😮
Never surrender you will succeed if you keep moving forward.
I can't imagine the heartbreak when you realised the holes are a bit off and that you'd have to do more digging. It's amazing to have such a tight team to lean on in those tough moments. I love following this journey!
The foundation is key! Building in Cocle. Did foundation 12yrs ago, 5'+ with 5/8" rebar, unles hit solid rock, then drilled into rock 3' min for rebar. House has over 100k worth of concrete & core filled block at base of mtn & not sinking at all. Got pics as sent $ from states. Over 3k sqft with 1600sqft to go as we speak. No ac, high ceiling & fans, insulating as we install ceiling
I don't know about down in Panama but here in Canada you can buy the twisted wire already set up with the loops and home Depot has it in boxes with the rebar is pretty much the only wire that is sold to construction sites now for tying rebar here except for the automatic rebar tying guns that are sold. I'm not sure what they use but those things are pretty slick. I think most major tool manufacturers make one now
Please invest in Aviation safety wire pliers. They are long skinny pliers that lock then you pull the rod on the end and the entire plier spins to twist the wire. Those of us in Aviation add a bearing to the end that makes retracting the end faster and easier.
If you go on RUclips and look up how to use your wire twister you will find out how much easier and faster it is. There are also cordless wire tie machines if you want to spend the money. You can always sell them when your done.
Enriquez and his friends are very hard working and although they are still learning it’s awesome everything they have done so far , wow 👍❤
Never a dull moment for you guys with Construction. Better to fix now, and relax later. Aswesome!! Best to you all!
Weld the base until the structure is stable. Then work above your head. One step at a time beloved!
The way you guys deal with this set back is inspiring. It's insane how deep and large and square the holes are. But its the best to discover it now! What if the poles are up and the issue arises...
You will get there and the men you have, I agree a 100% with Kailee, so much nicer to work with people that are willing to learn, do their best and love to have fun. You are giving them so much by letting them help.
Amazing!!
I’ve see you guys how cold you are if you’re outside in a tropical country we discussed that it is better for us not to live higher in the mountains from Panama. We have 3 or 4 years to go before we immigrate to Panama so we have enough time to look other places. It is so nice to see how you and the crew build your house…good luck.
I'm getting excited for the next stage of your build 🎉🎉
Great job! Things are moving along and you’re getting it. I’m so glad Kaylee got her sowing machine. I can’t wait to see what she makes and how she inspires me! I bought two sewing machines last summer at garage sales, at separate times. One I couldn’t pass up and was a really nice one for someone who makes home-made bed spreads from scratch. It had never been opened and was only $25 USD, original cost $165. The other was a small Singer for $15 USD and it doesn’t look like it cost more than $100. I haven’t tried either one because I jumped on a jet plane to Bali for most of the winter. When I get back to AK it’s going to be really cold so I need some projects to work on. I had been thinking about what I could do to stay busy…besides attending workout classes. My other thought was to crochet!!!!
I haven't read all the comments... Just two thoughts, get the wire ties with the loops... much less work... And just check that your concrete mix isn't to wet, The more water the weaker the strength. Oh and the purpose of the wire ties is to just hold the rebar in place, it's not necessary to tie every intersection of rebar pieces.
For the love of God build a ramp to feed the mixer get concrete wheelbarrows. Then measure your mix in wheelbarrows to get your mpa.
Just sitting here in the arctic chill in Boston and saw you guys had posted. Awesome job guys but damn do you have some work in front of you. But I figure you already know that. Can't wait to be there for your wedding in April. (FINALLY!) Hugs to all and remember my son what I taught you years ago.. Measure twice, cut once.. Love you all. Dad.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ahaha I said Mr. Rogers too!
That was my first guess!
I would hate to know I had to pour that much concrete. I admire you all.
just love the guys thats working for ya..the hard work and humor they have,, type one fail is just a new day to fix it.
You all are doing a great job and the guy’s are learning so much,love this for them and can’t wait to see what you sew with the new sewing machine!💗✌️
U guys have brought me so much joy and positivity. U guys have so much love and positivity for each other and Sadie. But it doesn’t stop there, u send it out to the universe and it comes to everyone/thing that holds a positive space in the universe. I just needed to say THANK YOU 🦋 for sharing ur lives with me. 🫶🏼
You need to get safety wire pliers. As a mechanic I used them all the time and I think they would work great for you.
I agree with buying wire ties with loops already in them.
But what I would do next is take your hand drill and attach a hook onto the end (instead of a drill bit) and use that to twist the wires…
It couldn’t get much easier than that…
I love you guys so beautiful you guys are following your dream and you're teaching everyone everyone that watches your videos we get to learn something new everyday,❤
It's a lot of work it's your passion project it's your home sweet home It's exciting to imagine what it will look like when it's done ...i'm not an expert in concrete at all but I usually seem them vibrate or shake out the air in the concrete so i googled it i didn't see it happen and maybe you don't have to but just for safety measures becaues it is holding up and entire house too ...Yes, you should almost always vibrate concrete when pouring a foundation, as vibration is crucial for properly consolidating the concrete, removing trapped air, and ensuring a strong, uniform structure with minimal voids; this is considered a standard practice in construction and is often mandated by building codes.
Key points about vibrating concrete for foundations:
Benefits:
Vibration helps to push the concrete into all corners of the form, eliminating honeycombing and ensuring a solid bond with reinforcement bars.
When to vibrate:
Always vibrate concrete for foundations unless you are using a self-compacting concrete mix designed to flow freely without needing vibration.
Important considerations:
Over-vibration: Avoid over-vibrating, as it can cause segregation of concrete components.
Proper technique: Use a suitable vibrator based on the concrete mix and foundation size, and move it systematically throughout the pour.
Check local codes: Always consult local building codes to ensure compliance regarding concrete vibration requirements.
Hi Jordan and Kaylee, I’m a long time follower and came in a little late on the foundation digging.
I’m retired from construction now, but noticed you didn’t set 2x4 battle boards at the four corners to square the footprint of the building, before digging the foundation. That would have given you a square corner reference from the groundwork all the way through the construction process. It might be still be helpful to install them now to keep the building square for the rest of the buildout. You set two opposite 2x4 corner Ls first and then the other two Ls, using the string method you use now. As the building progresses you always will have a square reference point
Hope this is helpful, Richard
Forgot to say that the battle boards should be set about 2-3ft back from the corners and level across the corners. There are RUclips videos on setting battle boards.
you are brave to take on building a house in Panama. Give herself a woot, woot🥰
i would try to streamline the process of things... like if you have 10,000 bars to bend... stack them on the table in piles of 50.. so you're not walking to pick one up.. and then drop them behind the table so you're not walking to stack them... the ties i'd probably just wrap it around 4 times and feed the end under the last loop... the concrete i'd be using that skid steer to load everything.. build a strong wood funnel the length of the bucket... then dump it back into the skid steer bucket.. use a trough to pour it... point is when you have to do something a lot it makes sense to make templates and guides and streamline processes.. there's no rush i guess but it might save your sanity
Wow so incredible what ur doing..I Love watching your journey u guys..Sending loadsa love to u all xxx ❤️🥰
I’ve been sewing for yrs and now - Joanne’s is going out of business so no more diverse fabrics- hopefully where you are there will be a better selections, but here it’s all about the mighty cotton - quilting. So yea I like to do outdoor covers as well as clothes and recently furniture and cross body purses or back packs, It really sucks! But my love and sewing or creating was just getting good and now 🤦🏻♀️ who knows where I’ll have to go to get a selection so sad 😢
