We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.
Rebecca being a Lil' Bitsy Lady, I cannot believe the physical work she does! She's a great wife, treasure her!
That turkey really shows himself off! What a guy! Beautiful bird. Thanks for sharing Evan, you and Rebecca are making some nice progress!
Evan, I think the Gobbler is in love with you, he's always around you strutting!
Wow, Rebecca swings a mighty hammer. She's relentless. Way to go!
I love that male turkey, he is beautiful! It’s looking good by the way.
Thumbs up Becky!!!!!!!!!!! First time helping the old man cleaning up used lumber, I'd like a nickel for every nail I've pulled.
Rebecca is a beast! A one-woman demolition crew!
Not many women can swing a sledge like a man.
Rebecca swung that hammer like a pro. She's a tough lady and a great help around the place. Well done the pair of you
Man I would SO run a metal detector on that ground under the old floor. Just never know what may be their. I don't think I have ever seen a prettier Turkey in my life. That White and black one. Never even knew they existed.
What an achievement. That was a backbreaking mammoth task.
🤣 That turkey 🦃 🍗 definitely is a camera hound...he likes being seen 👀 and heard👂for sure. 🤣🤣🎯👍✌
No doubt! Every time Evan got in front of him, he would move into camera range, with his feathers all fluffed up. LOL
I like hearing them turkeys gobble when you make noise! That has to be a comforting feeling. Beats hearing cars and traffic and folks yelling!
You work with what you got and most of the time it works.
Glad that last piece came out in one chunk with the tractor. 🚜 That turkey is a handsome fellow. I think he knows it too. 😀
LOOKIN' GOOD
Taking the last of the wall was better than I expected. You now have a way to get in to scoop out the barn floor. I like your videos keep up the good work.
In stead of leaving the old wall in the woods, i suggest you dig a few feet down in front of the opening, dump the old wall in there and then grade it up with the gravel, or use the old wall as filler next to the pole barn.
Cant wait to see the finished product been watching your channel for years!!
I don't need no jackhammer! I got me a BeccaBuster! Good job, Rebecca!💪👍 She wasn't even breathing hard. She's one tough cookie.
This repurposed barn shed is going to be a real asset. The livestock will love it. I can't wait to see the finished product. Good job, Evan and Rebecca.
You two are relentless workers.
A tip of my hat to both of you.
We live in Indiana right in the center about 31 miles south of Michigan. We ate on a little more than 5 acres in the country. So quiet and peaceful.
What a work out. My arms feel jarred just watching.
I'm sure you don't need anyone telling you uses for the material your taking out, you've been around! That manual work will make you respect someone who does it for a living, like yourself.😉
That should be much more useful than the raised floor. You could easily put two stalls in there and still have plenty of room for other animals to shelter from the weather.
The barn addition was pretty well built. Tough work, good job.
At least you know that is a solid wall and the animals cant knock it down!
The hammer drill did the trick. Stay safe guys. Blessings🙂
The demo of that block wall was a real workout. But you succeeded.
Way to go. Some things are just hard. Whoever built that rock should be proud.
Hi, Evan and Rebecca! This bank barn series is very interesting. I am eager to watch as you work your magic in transforming this awesome historical barn.
I love your videos, they are very entertaining and interesting. Your wife Rebecca is amazing, she is not scared to get her hands dirty and she is right there working beside you, I hope you realize what a lucky man you are to have a woman like that by your side. And you are a hard working man and everything you do is done well if not to perfection and that is awesome. You two are an amazing team. Kudos to you both. Keep up the great work. Love your turkeys, I have never seen any that color before, their beautiful. God bless you both.
You are one of the hardest working two I have ever seen!!
That's a big job so glad you got most of it done 💯✌🏻
WOW that is one hard wall! You wore your self out on that wall! Great job done Evan and Rebecca! Always love watching!
That project is coming along very good. The wall is very well built. Just think if you had to swing a sledgehammer for a few weeks you’d be quite strong.
Evan and Rebecca...I have so enjoyed watching from your start building your Countrymark Log Home. Watching the tons of work you have done to improve your land, the pole barn, etc. is just very nice. You must have Dutch, and, or German blood as I do, and I am as driven of a person as you both! A Perfectionist of sort! I'd like to see a video of just how your house has weathered since the build. Because of my health mostly, and after watching your log home build I sold my retirement home I only built six years ago in North Fort Myers, Florida, and moved back to my native Michigan with plans to put up a Countrymark Log Home. We just moved in October to Holland, Michigan, and are searching for land between here and Saugatuck. Sometime within the next two months we are going to drive to Countrymark's office Indiana to discuss plans, etc. Thanks to you I researched six log home builders in Wisconsin., Indiana, and Michigan and found Countrymark to be my preferred choice. I wanted to send you a recipe for your hash browns, but been way to busy, so look for it coming your way in our slow USPS! Thanks Again.

Hi. Doing that wall must hurt! A whirlpool would feel great i bet.
Your turkeys are beautiful. ❤️❤️
Good on you Rebecca. Good hard worker. You both amaze me how you guys get stuck in and get the jobs done.
W.o.w impressive work done on that project! Looking forward to more ... the Turkey is a beauty! Lots of lumber to repurpose too. Ahhhh, farm life❤
Looking good, Evan. Can’t wait to see the progress and finished shed. We watch other small farm and homestead shows on RUclips, but yours is our favorite. You have accomplished so much in the short time you have been living there. Having goals, meeting those goals, and both of you still holding down jobs, is a credit to you both and a fine example to others.
You should stack the concrete blocks in your goat pasture. It makes a fun little play area for them to use their natural climbing abilities. Plus it helps with keeping their hoofs naturally groomed.
Rebecca, you are absolutely amazing. Love how you are part of every part of getting the homestead complete.
I'm pretty sure I was breathing heavy just watching you swing the sledge so much...lol... looks awesome and I cant wait to see the finished product.
The Turkey is a photo bomber! Great video Evan and Rebecca is stronger than I thought! She swings a mean sledge!
I love that big Tom Turkey that has to get in the picture. He's so curious. Cracks me up!!!
Very good job nice video keep up the good work can’t wait to see it done
That turkey is gorgeous, very healthy looking. I was huffing just watching you tackle that cement block wall, hope your not too sore tomorrow. Rebecca you made me proud watching you beat on the block, good on you.
I was about to write the same thing about the turkey! Might be the prettiest Royal Palm I’ve seen and his hen is beautiful, too.
Evan convinced me to get a pair, got them this week, they are a real treat on the farm!
its a compliment to the makers of concrete, its sure solid and it pretty much has to batch mixed
Fantastic! Good for you guys in that accomplishment! You and Miss Rebekah swing a mean Nine-pounder! And I see your bubble machine is working as desired out in the pond ...
Good job Evan I’m glad you accomplished getting it all done
Great Job Evan! Keep up the good work!
Rebecca killed it, she blasted through the wall twice as fast as you. Lol
Don't make her mad 😂
Peek a boo with the turkey! LOL!
WOW===Wonder Woman---- Good job!!!!!
Just wanted to say - been binge watching all your videos since i found you - one of my top fave channels now - really enjoy watching all your projects. Keep up the great work. Appreciate it.
Be careful with the lifting....never twist and toss with a heavy armful. Make sure you turn forward first. You will save your back :)
Evan that salvaged lumber would be great to build a shelter in your pasture for the cows to get out of the rain and cold wind. Thanks for the great videos.
Few will tell you in _Farmer School_ you'll be fighting through the mud one day and then fighting over frozen ruts the next. That turkey of a supervisor is out there 'helping' you out again, with his assistant even. Good progress.
Nice job!👍🏻
Good job. Now the animals have a place out of the weather. As usual a job well done.
I don’t know that’s a big hole for wind. That is why I suggested opening the end. Time will tell.
When we lived outside of Tallahassee in a trailer park, it got down to 13 degrees all day back in 1969, and the dirt roads around the park were frozen solid. I remember trying to kick one with my heavy boot and that high rut did not give an inch! Like rocks!
Love the conceited white turkey. Gobbles a lot, struts with his plumage all flexed out and he was photo bombing your video towards the end. So funny. The stall is turning out great guys. Cheers
Definitely hard work! Great job.
Love to watch your channel. Barn looking great. Stay warm
You should let Rebecca drive the tractor, so she gets used to it, so when she has to drive it, it will be much easier for her and you.
She had experience driving last summer on the hay baler.
It looks like the remaining concrete block wall is not pinned to the foundation. You might want to consider placing full-length support columns for the large opening.
Thanks for the update. Go Rebekah!! ❤️
Rebecca to the rescue!!! Good job folks!!!
Dang, what a workout! I'm impressed !
Great job said the turkeys. They have been your constant supervisors. Rebecca, you sure swing a mean hammer. That was a lot of work. Y'all will be needing a long soak in some Epson salts to restore the body. Have a Blessed day. Stay warm.
Great job guys looks so much better and will make a big difference for you. And also you two showed again what an awesome team you are.
Ole Tom wants to be a movie star too
Evan I wish I had your energy dude. Good job guys. I think it’d be neat to see what kind of meals all the meat turns into
Put rippers down on the box scraper to cut through all the ruts
Should have rented a K-12 concrete saw 14” carbon blade you would have saved your back and time. Great video enjoying your progress
She can really handle that sledge.
If you decide that you want to clean up the dirt floor, I have a suggestion. If you start from the farthest points and work to the closest, as this makes the hardest part when you have more energy to the easiest when you have less. This gives you something to look forward to.
What is wrong with using the tractor and bucket for clean out?
Wow Evan, Rebecca really gave you a haircut. Good job. Can’t wait to see what you will build with used lumber. Great video
We call it freezing rain here. 🙂🇨🇦
That's a good spot for them.
if your concrete is non toxic, you can put in your pond. You can create a new ecosystem.
New subscriber as of last week. Absolutely love this channel so far. I have been binge watching your videos like crazy whenever i have time. 👍👍
Y’all make very good videos. You should have your wife help you earlier in this project, she took out that wall faster than you did! :-)
Rebekah is a dynamo.
So interesting to watch you demolish that wall. At some points my arms almost ached, for you, when you were using the sledgehammer, ugh. I was shocked when I realized that it was Rebecca swinging the hammer and how fast and efficiently the blocks were breaking, whoa! You go girl! Well done you two!!! I'm just fascinated with the white tom turkey. He's so regal when he's strutting and puffed up. I get a chuckle thinking that he seems to be a bit of a ham, too. God bless.
One more thing you've commented before about the Tom Turkey what's your Tom turkey's name cuz apparently he wants to be in the movies I think you should start putting him in cuz he must be a product of Hollywood and he is a good looking Tom he almost looks like Jackie Gleason
Looking good be safe
Great job guys. It doesn't look like you'll have to build much of a ramp into the shed, it looks like the animals could easily step up into it now.
Well done!
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Y’all may want to invest in a corded hammer drill that also does just hammer. Dewalt and Bosch make a good one it uses the SDS shank hammer drill bits and the SDS hammer bits.
You could use the block to fill in a washout to slow water down and prevent erosion
You could poor a short apron in front of the floor. It will carry the tractor better, cattle won’t push it out and you can do it with a rental mixer and bagged crete pretty easily. It looks really good.
You could use some of the concrete blocks/pieces to use as a base layer to raise up your ramp to your bank barn or if you have water/streams eroding soil, use to stop/slow erosion.
Your doing a good job Evan. That grapple sure was a labor saver, along with the Frontend Loader.
Tractor earned it's place on this job. 👍👍❤
from the Netherlands thanks for the video CVA
Evan, your turkey is trying to steal the show.
And now it's done you need small tractor to clean inside like father tractor .
Yes a smaller tractor would be handy lots of tasks.
Awesome, brought in the Muscle for that last block. lol I felt your pain.
You should lay a couple of bords the opposite way for dunnage then you get under them with the forks again then you wouldn't have to load by hand again
Way to go Rebecca ! You too Evan ! If it was me, I'd use one of those concrete slabs for in front of the barn door as a "walkway"
I think I would give some thought over the winter to how you might excavate some of the dirt in the ramp area and filling in with the broken concrete as a base for the gravel. Otherwise, your gravel will disappear over the years into the soil.
