If I may make a suggestion...please inform new buyers of the two metal stakes that were cut off near that large tree. If they decide to cut down trees and have a stump grinder contractor grind up the trunk, it will ruin their equipment when they hit the stake. Most stump grinder businesses owners are small, independent folks and this would be a major expense for them. I always enjoy your videos.
You could move some of those dead logs around the closest fire pit to house . This would make an inviting place to have cook outs, by making places to sit with the logs.
I found your videos by accident the other night and have been hooked ever since! First let me say what a beautiful family you have especially little man who wants to help! To think you do this on your own with your family is just AMAZING! Thank you for keeping us updated on your projects love the whole process. Sending you tons of respect from The South Bronx, NYC! Looking forward to seeing more..wait let me subscribe...lol
You both do such great work. My husband and I are in our middle 50’s. We have been working side by side for 23 years. Not a lot of couples can do that. You both remind me of us, hard working and you compliment each other. Great job.
Wiggle those t-posts side to side, then pull straight up on them. If they're tough we always used an old car bumper jack and piece of chain or strong rope to pull them on out. No need to buy a special t-post puller. Of course pretty much nothing works when you got a root totally grown around the post! Another fine day Out in the Country!
That was a lot of work. You guys are so hard-working and diligent to get things done. I really hope that all of your efforts pay off for you in the sale of your homestead.
hi lads a little trick for pulling out the posts get your self a long piece of 2x4 and tie one end to the bottom of the post about 2ft ,,3tf in on the 2x4 and then use as a pri bar it will come out with no effort and safe your back
Thank Goodness! 😍😍😍 Your videos are such a perfect ending to my days that when I don't have a new one to watch I end up just feeling unmotivated and too lazy to properly finish the day and prepare for the next haha. Many Thanks 💖💖💖
Boy memories, I climbed a tree at a friend's house. Fell right on top of one of those fence posts. They lifted me off and I remember going to hospital sitting on a towel with my grandpa. I don't remember anything after that.
The both of you must have slept very good the night of this work. I well remember my younger Salad Days working like heck physically and crashing into sleep that night, sore and exhausted.. There is a lot of satisfaction in a job well done. You both make quite the Team. 👍👍
Wow everything you both do is just AMAZING! The homestead is looking GREAT! Praying for a speedy sell when you list! This is all so exciting! Thank you so much for sharing this journey. 😊
Wow my husband said to tell you what a good job you do with every task and that he wishes he was as young and strong to be able to do that stuff again 😊 lots of hard work but you did it !
You guys are doing a lot of hard work. You've got to be feeling a huge sense of accomplishment. I hope you sell your property for a lot more money then you paid, because you've earned it. I don't know how much more you're planning on doing, but make sure you don't end up being burned out, because when you reach that point, it's hard to get your stamina back again. We did a huge amount of work on our house and we both got so burned out from it. That was years ago and we haven't done anything since. At the very least, we've got to do some painting before we sell this place. We are now retired and don't have any plans of buying another property unless it's at a retirement community. This year we will be spending our winter in Arizona in a travel trailer. We are trying to look forward to it, but our three cats are coming with us. Just this morning, two of them had a fight over territory and I'm wondering how one of those battles will work out in a smaller travel trailer. The whole trailer is the size of one big room.
I'm considering doing something with it, but not sure what. I may still end up putting gates on the back. Just depends on whether it'll be worth the money. We'll see.
Country life?...A farm jack is a must. That and a chain makes pulling post a cinch (among other things)....They're a little tricky to use but handy as a shirt pocket !
I wish you would remodel the school. I would love to see what you could do with it. But I understand about the noise. I can hear it in the background in most of your videos
Well done guys, l hope all your hard work will be rewarded when you sell. You two are determined, hard workers with that dedication you can do anything!!!! ☺️💕
Very industrious! ☺ I know what a pain those fence stakes are to get out. Like Chinese finger puzzles or fish hooks. Place looking good. Those railroad ties (?) would be good for veggie garden borders.
Well decided instead of sending a box just went to pay pal and sent money instead. It just a tiny bit but best I can do right now...How do I see your wish list?
You've put so much work into it, and it's really looking good. Almost a shame to sell it. Plus, I want to see you fix up the old school! I had such plans for it! LOL That's how I found you guys. While waiting for that remodel, I started getting quite attached to you and your family! It's a great channel. Glad to see you getting so many new subscribers.
Thank you. It was a hard decision to move. We had to really be sure we were willing to walk away from everything here but we believe that in the end it will be for the best. Ashley especially needs the peace, not to mention that it's hard making videos with that noise going on ;) I still look at the building and think about it. But at the same time we are looking forward to what is ahead and there will be plenty of projects to keep us busy I'm sure.
I'm sure there are lots of good things in store for you. I know it was a hard decision. In the first videos I watched, where you fixing up the house, I could see in Ashley's eyes, that she really loved the way it was turning out.
You guys are such an inspiration! I just found you the other day and have been binge-watching. Congratulations on the new subscribers . I noticed that it has jumped substantially just since I've been watching and it's only been a few days. Best wishes 🍀👍👍
What a great adventure you’re taking us on, while you do ALL the work! Your property looks amazing and I know the next step will be just as enjoyable. Love your channel. Thank you for doing and sharing.
I GIVEYOU TWO A LOT OF CREDIT YOU BOTH WORK SO HARD. I'M JUST THINKING THAT YOU'S ARE A WONDERFUL MORMON FAMILY ...... I HAD SOME FRIENDS THAT WERE MORMON AND THEY LIVED THE COUNTRY LIFE AS WELL AND HARDLY EVER SAT DOWN THE CHILDREN TOO THEY ALSO WORKED OUT SIDE . KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY .......
Hi, new to your channel, really enjoying your videos. I lived in a mobile for ten years and yes, they are not maintenance free as advertised. You two get along famously. I wish you all the best.
Doug and Ashley you guy's are amazing worker's. You have done a great job! I am so jealous I am not there to help it's so rewarding work. Yes everyone says I am crazy yet I so love doing this fixer upper work. And yes I am tiny like your wife never stops me. Ashley you are amazing!! You both are always so peaceful. I just love you guy's, and I love your video's. Hope you do a before and after video because you have made a great improvement. Looks fantastic!!! The old school is yours too. Wow!! You will sale fast that is going to make a beautiful home. Putting up a fence should block some of that noise too. I know you will find your forever home. God Blessed you both! Beautiful family! I am so looking forward to more video's! Oh yes Doug be careful I seen that fall. You two are Great!
It's so awful that the road noise is so intrusive. I can hear it in the videos, that noise would drive me to utter madness. I don't blame you one bit for wanting to move. I do hope that whoever buys the property restores and remodels the school house into a home that retains its history and charm. The school house has such potential. I was really looking forward to seeing it become a lovely home. Good luck selling your property and finding your perfect peaceful new home.
It's so satisfying watching the progress and transformation of your property, I can only imagine how good you must feel. Love the vids keep it up. Best wishes on your upcoming listing
I think that big plant Ashley cut down was a giant rag weed...the back lot here is a forest of them...they leave ugly dead stalks when they die in fall....pull easily out of the ground...
Hey kids. I don't think it's so much a problem that the little chickens are slipping out. As much as varmints slipping into the little hole in the fence. Because little chickens are tasty!
That large plant is call horse weed in the fall Little worm inside the stem are great fishing worm for bluegill. Remember safety is number one on your homestead.
If I may make a suggestion...please inform new buyers of the two metal stakes that were cut off near that large tree. If they decide to cut down trees and have a stump grinder contractor grind up the trunk, it will ruin their equipment when they hit the stake. Most stump grinder businesses owners are small, independent folks and this would be a major expense for them. I always enjoy your videos.
That’s the only time you’ll see Doug lieing down on the job 😂 Looks great 👍🏻
You guys are the dynamic duo
You could move some of those dead logs around the closest fire pit to house . This would make an inviting place to have cook outs, by making places to sit with the logs.

My wife and I are in our late sixties and the things we have accomplished together are amazing when we look back. Our hard work has paid off.
Wow that was a lot of hard work but you got it done like you always do. Good job, looking better and better.
I love when you insert the "before" shots to show your progress. Great job!

Looking good! The dynamic duo strikes again!
Great accomplishment. You two work very hard.
I really wish the traffic wasn’t so bad. You’ve done so much ! Looks great.

Many Thanks 💖💖💖
haha! Glad we were able to motivate you today :)
Boy memories, I climbed a tree at a friend's house. Fell right on top of one of those fence posts. They lifted me off and I remember going to hospital sitting on a towel with my grandpa. I don't remember anything after that.
Ouch!
You guys are powering through it all! It all looks fantastic! Blessings...

Love, love, love watching you guys - every Vid is entertaining. You deserve a break you two, you work soooo hard. xx
Wow everything you both do is just AMAZING! The homestead is looking GREAT! Praying for a speedy sell when you list! This is all so exciting! Thank you so much for sharing this journey. 😊

Look amazing, you guys work so well together!!! I need a Man like that 😍
Looking good. The new owners are going to have a great place to live.
Thanks! They sure are 😊
You are extremely diligent. Good job 👍. So now you are not far away from your aim.
I love it when Ashley uses the reciprocating Saw!.Great manoeuvre while towing those beams/sleepers Doug.Connecting up with that dead tree 🙂
Wow my husband said to tell you what a good job you do with every task and that he wishes he was as young and strong to be able to do that stuff again 😊 lots of hard work but you did it !
Thank you!
That really looked like a lot of work. You guys kicked some butt.
Such hard workers!Miss the days I could work so hard.Great job!
WOW..you guys must be each others best friends.

I'd make a plywood barn door for the hole in the barn, close it up.
I'm considering doing something with it, but not sure what. I may still end up putting gates on the back. Just depends on whether it'll be worth the money. We'll see.
you guys are a great team!! Great job, looks awesome !!-Ray
Hard days work! You both are amazing!
Love how yall have such great team work
You are almost done. Looking very good. Looks so much better all cleaned up.
Wow you two are hard workers!
I think a cool video would be one featuring everything crazy the Element has done, hauled etc.
Country life?...A farm jack is a must. That and a chain makes pulling post a cinch (among other things)....They're a little tricky to use but handy as a shirt pocket !
Thumbs up for her good worker
I wish you would remodel the school. I would love to see what you could do with it. But I understand about the noise. I can hear it in the background in most of your videos

Awesome job, you guys work really hard. 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Looks fantastic! You two are such inspiration. ♡
You guys really rock. That looks just great!!
That was a lot of hard work!
I found your channel last week and I'm hooked! Such a sweet, hard-working family! Love your channel! :)
Thank you! Glad you found us ♡
You work so hard, you deserve the best
I would have liked to ride on the back of those logs! 😃
Great job as usual. Looking good.
I would suggest that you enclose the opening in the back of the barn. A wooden sliding door or lift gate would make it more complete and secure.
You guys are such an inspiration! I just found you the other day and have been binge-watching. Congratulations on the new subscribers . I noticed that it has jumped substantially just since I've been watching and it's only been a few days. Best wishes 🍀👍👍
Thank you!
Out in the Country My picture is my cat Jonathan ..Thank you for being so thoughtful and caring where cats and animals are concerned .❤
I think the big plant is a castor bean plant they grow very fast
Great work...looks fantastic!
I hope you do a tour when you are totally finished.... house, property, barn...
We're planning to :)
Wow. Hard workers.
Wow what great exercise!!
Yet another good job. A rototiller would make short work of the drop off if you could borrow one from somebody.
Just watched this video, you both worked so hard on this
Really great job.
Wow, you both work so hard, looks great
What a great adventure you’re taking us on, while you do ALL the work! Your property looks amazing and I know the next step will be just as enjoyable. Love your channel. Thank you for doing and sharing.
Your hard work is paying off. Looks so much better.
Honda & DeWalt power great combo! Keep it real country!
Good job, it’s those little jobs that make a big difference
Great Piano Music!!
Excellent job y'all, looks 1000 times better.
Almost there. Don't rush. Rest for a little.
Damn-it man laying on the job....
I've seen where people trimmed native plants (brush) into a shaped hedge to great effect. It was kind of fun.
Good work guys
You guys are amazing
I GIVEYOU TWO A LOT OF CREDIT YOU BOTH WORK SO HARD. I'M JUST THINKING THAT YOU'S ARE A WONDERFUL MORMON FAMILY ...... I HAD SOME FRIENDS THAT WERE MORMON AND THEY LIVED THE COUNTRY LIFE AS WELL AND HARDLY EVER SAT DOWN THE CHILDREN TOO THEY ALSO WORKED OUT SIDE . KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY .......
Thank you! We just love being outside and working on things 😊 (We're not Mormon though)
It really hurts to see someone yelling
You can pull posts using an old car or truck rim. rap a chain around the post, put the chain over the upright rim and pull with a tractor or car.
That's exactly what we've been planning to do on our new property to clear the small trees :)
Wouldn't help if it's grown into a root. About the only thing you can do is cut or bend them back and forth till they break off.
Hi, new to your channel, really enjoying your videos. I lived in a mobile for ten years and yes, they are not maintenance free as advertised. You two get along famously. I wish you all the best.
If your property was closer to me I'd be interested in it looking so much better
Doug and Ashley you guy's are amazing worker's. You have done a great job! I am so jealous I am not there to help it's so rewarding work. Yes everyone says I am crazy yet I so love doing this fixer upper work. And yes I am tiny like your wife never stops me. Ashley you are amazing!! You both are always so peaceful.

Great job guys! 👍🏾👍🏾 yall make an awsome team😊❤ thanks for sharing your adventure.🤗
Done a great job looks so much better
Thanks 😊
You two make a very good team just be careful of your back should use a back brace to support your back it only take one time to hurt your back
It's so satisfying watching the progress and transformation of your property, I can only imagine how good you must feel. Love the vids keep it up. Best wishes on your upcoming listing
That does look better.
A lot of work, but the new owners will thank you. Or at least they should. It looks great.
You two are such a great team! All your hard work is paying off :)
I think that big plant Ashley cut down was a giant rag weed...the back lot here is a forest of them...they leave ugly dead stalks when they die in fall....pull easily out of the ground...
All you need for a homemade T-post puller is an old style bumper jack and a piece of chain. That can be bought for cheap at a junk yard
Looks great. Once again....a job well done !!! Wow Doug that was truly something at the end of this video. I hope that you did not hurt yourself
Thanks :) He was fine 😊
good work you guys!
Hey kids. I don't think it's so much a problem that the little chickens are slipping out. As much as varmints slipping into the little hole in the fence. Because little chickens are tasty!
In your adopted state we call the large plant a "horseweed". Looks nice on the clean up, good job.
Lookin good!
Your parents must be so proud of you guys 👍🏽❤️
Awesome job guys!
You need to use a CAR JACK to remove the fence posts.
You guys are wearing me out lol! Looks much better
Super job.......wow what a difference
Another day of good team work its looking good and not far to go now just waiting for the final chapter best wishes
That large plant is call horse weed in the fall Little worm inside the stem are great fishing worm for bluegill. Remember safety is number one on your homestead.
