What you'll find here will be anything from building or fixing cars or trucks, building or remodeling projects and everything in between. I get myself into some pretty interesting situations.

Your kids are so very good. Good parenting too, Tom. (And Dawn) Corbin is such a hard worker and actually desires to be strong and helpful. But all your kids seem to be great young people.
Massive transformation is almost an understatement! And that Corbin! Love that grin when he succeeds. What a great job of modeling and passing on a great work ethic, Tom!
My favourite thing in the world is kids looking pleased with themselves
I am an 82 year old Grammy. And I just want to tell you that I do look forward through the week for your Friday posting. I’ve been following Dawn for a long time and I love both of your input. You have the nicest family, all four of your children. Your boys are going to grow up to be wonderful men. Keep the videos coming. I just love you guys.
Love the story about your grandpa and where all this ambition began. Good job and same to you Corbin! Looks amazing!
Every time you start on a dangerous job, I find myself praying "please keep Tom safe!" You accomplished a lot & it's always nice to see your sons working (and learning) by your side.
I love how Tom is decluttering the yard. Less is certainly more on this property. Good work from the boys too.
Love this show. Love your enthusiasm and getting the boys involved with the work. The place is looking amazing. Take a bow Tom. You deserve it.
What a great experience for your boys!! What a restoration!! You are saving that property from total ruin! The original owners would be so happy!!
I said, "That tree's too big for those loppers." But Corbin kept at it and got it! Way to go! All 4 of your kids are great workers and will have much success in life.
I have become very excited for Fridays because I know Tom will post a video of his progress. Watching Tom work gives me motivation to get stuff done around the house. My stuff is tiny in comparison to yours, Tom. Keep up the videos! Oh and tell Corbin that he is amazing! Those were massive trees to cut down with clippers.
Agreed! I know I would've struggled with the loppers and probably used a saw 🤭 I totally understand using the safer option for kids, but wow! What a workout! 💪👏
The project is coming along so well, your boys are such willing helpers,enjoying their accomplishments. They are truly blessed to have parents like the two of you who encourage and praise them. Keep the videos coming, I love to see your progress.
When doing certain jobs Tom I think it is best you have Dawn or one of the kids on-site if you do not have another person working with you.
Also, keep a charged phone handy, and in the truck have an index card with the address written in marker and directions. And have the card out for reference. IF, Lord forbid there was an accident the child with you can use the phone to call 911 and using the information on the index card providing first responders with the correct address. This would save precious time in an emergency. This card would also come in handy if a person helping you needed to call 911 as they might not be familiar with the location to give directions.
I really like how the kids help with projects and you are teaching them to work, save, and do for others. Good job. The farm is looking great
Super idea !
@@lizzabbott Thank you. I was afraid someone would say I was being overly protective .
Love it that you are raising the boys to work. The self esteem and confidence you are building into them will serve them well all their lives.
Yard looks fantastic now. Great work.
You and your family continue to impress upon me the value of good parenting and work ethics. Wow!
Seeing Corbin with his full wingspan and those clippers... priceless! Tom, you are an awesome dad to allow him to participate and for encouraging him and even helping him problem solve after giving him a chance to find the solution first. Love it!
Wow! You made a big difference on the property. It’s looking good.
My favorite line:
“Dawn doesn’t know.” 🤣
The boys did a great job helping their dad.
Love this family! Take care. ❤
What a determined young man Corbin is! He amazes me! ❤
Tom & Dawn, Great video! I love watching you working & showing what farms, houses, and cars can look like if you just take the time & energy doing it. I think all that work would have cost even more than $5000...maybe doubled that. Great seeing Corbin & Gage working to help. Corbin is definitely a mini Tom. 😊
The boys did a fantastic job such hard working young men ❤
Teaching great life skills to those kiddos! You guys are amazing parents!
I love the story about your grandpa. All my grandparents had excellent work ethic, but my grandpa Bert was my hero. He owned a construction company, and lost a leg in an auger accident back in late 80s. He eventually lost or sold his business, but did yard work for extra income around his little Nebraska town. He worked until he physically couldn’t. Never liked his prosthetic leg, so he just got around with his crutches, and of course his riding mower. :) I sure miss him.
The proud dad moment Tom had when Corbin got the tree cut, that was so wholesome😭. I love this channel and The Minimal Mom, they're my safe place when everything is going crazy irl because the community and comments are fun too 🥰.
Would love to see a picture of Tom at Corbin’s age. I think he’s a chip off off of the block for sure! Love the see the boys working hard along side of dad.
That. Was. Awesome. So interesting and satisfying!! Thank you for taking us along with you. You do such a great job. Can’t wait to see phase 2!!
Btw, so many kids these days just want to sit around and play video games or be on social media. They moan and groan when asked to do work. Your kids seem to WANT to work and learn and help out. And they’re so capable. That says a lot about them and a lot about you two as parents, and about their grandparents. You’re all doing great!
I couldn't agree more! 💗👏 Beautifully phrased about this wonderful family 🤩
Corbin!!! You are AWESOME, kid!! Well done Dawn and Tom on raising that boy up!
Tree trimming... now THERE'S an adventure! GREAT job!
The silo - red iron oak, maybe?
Great job on the farm, Tom! Always enjoy seeing a new video notification pop up!
I think the silo is beautiful as is - people pay good money for that aged barn wood look
When you removed the shrub for a better view, I thought piece of cake, you didn't have to move an entire shed like you did at your home. Property is looking great! I love the updates.
When they said "if something is blocking the view, you move it," I was thinking "...even if it's a shed!" 😊
Corbin is a beast! He is your Mini-Me, Tom! Those boys were also really cleaning out the small trees. Nice work, Corbin and Gage! Tom, you completely transformed this property!!! It looks fantastic and that view to the fields out back is beautiful! We have lots of farms here in Ohio, but I've never seen a wood silo. Way cool!!!
It's always great to watch you patiently instruct your boys on how to get a job done safely and efficiently. Then, to see the pride in themselves when they accomplished the task. Those are needed life skills. I'll say Happy Father's Day now. Knowing all your days must be happy with a supportive and loving wife and 4 great kids.😊
Looks so much better and that view is amazing. Someone could picture themselves sitting outside watching their horses and drinking coffee! Corbin rocks taking down those little trees too! Thanks for another great update Tom.
It's looking awesome.. you and your grandpa look so much alike and very handsome..
I love this renovation series so much. It's quite enjoyable watching the transformation of this property and seeing your vision come to fruition. The fact that your entire family has helped out makes it even more special. Everything looks so good, I want to move in!
Was wondering about poison ivy around those trees and silo. Also, are ticks bad there? That silo is a work of art! Thanks for taking us along. You’ve done an excellent job!
ditto... wondered if Corbin got the poison ivy after his awesome job of trimming...
Yes! Hopefully he isn't allergic to Poison Ivy
Poison ivy was literally my first thought. I’m highly allergic. Got a tiny bit the other week on my wrist and I wanted to cut my hand off - total torture.
Could you take some of those young tree sprouts from that farm and transplant them to your house property? A good sized root ball would take enough soil from that property to give them a head start in the transplanting. 🤔
Amazing Before and Afters Tom! So proud of your efforts. When Corbin was tackling that huge sapling, I was cheering, "GO CORBIN GO!" lol And then your idea to use the tree as a fulcrum? GENIOUS!
Wow, the place is looking great! I'm always in awe, Tom, of how much you are able to accomplish by yourself.
Tom decluttered today
Tom, the resemblance to your grandfather was so fun to see. It sounds like he was a wonderful man!
What a difference you have made! Looks like a prosperous little property now 😊 How fun to hear that your work ethic is generational and how that is extending to your own family. You guys are amazing
I love that you are saving the old silo. They are so cool and there's not that many around anymore. All the work you are doing is making the whole place look amazing.
Thank you, Tom, for taking us along on this rehab venture. I am enjoying it immensely. ❤
We power washed our wood 8 ft fence and it WAS beautiful! Love what you are doing to this property.
Wow! You can really be pleased with the men your families have and are raising!👍👍👍👍👍Also the women are great 🤗
Wow…looks great and it sounds like you not only look like your Grandpa, but you never stand still either! You are the human EverReady Battery Bunny! And your boys are beginning to walk in your footsteps…it’s a beautiful thing…..Thanks for sharing, from St. Albert, Alberta, 🇨🇦
Love that your boys help and how dedicated they are! The transformation is incredible! Can’t wait to see more! Stay safe!
Corbin the tree buster! Yeah Corbin.😄 Seeing young people having a hood work ethic gives my old heart hope for the future. Great job!
You two are a hard workers and training your children to be hard workers, society thanks you!
Tom, you are very daring! The bushes in the field coming out was an instant view of beautiful nature! Keep up the good work and pay those little guys, excellent work!!❤
Your son is gonna grow up and be the best man he can be you can just tell. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe and God bless love ya Nancy
That wood silo is gorgeous! Your boys are a joy!
The difference is incredible. I’m always impressed by everything you know how to do. It was really cool hearing how similar you are to your grandfather.
Corbin did such a great job and has such a good attitude and not afraid to work. Tom, I sometimes feel like I want to fast forward to make sure you don't get hurt or fall out of or off what ever you are doing. ( I'm old and my heart could give out) lol
That was just so much fun. I just love your video's. I am disabled, and I live through your adventures. Thank you for your video's, Tom.
You did an amazing job. I'd say you saved a lot more than $5,000. I have three trees, actually four, that need to be downed or at least topped and I know it's going to cost me at least that or more for just what I need done. You and the boys did some fabulous work. The silo is beautiful. Keep up the great job you're doing.
On The silo, my vote is to clear the vegetation and leave as is to show the history. No Botox 😄. I wonder if any lease that you draw up should also include provisions to protect the silo from being painted, damaged etc.
Corbin is a beast of a work horse. Great job Corbin!
The yard looks great! It must feel so satisfying to see the results of your hard work!!
Corbin deserves an award!
Looks amazing. And your kids are such hard workers, just like you & your grandpa. 👍🏼
Rapidly becoming one of my favourite channels.
Wow! What a difference hard work makes!! You inspired me to get out into the garden today! Thanks Tom.!
Oh My Goodness!!! That looks SO much better! Wow! And up here in Washington anyway that work would have been way more than $5,000. Good Job! I Loved watching Corbin cut down those big trees and seeing the look of satisfaction and accomplishment on his face. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us.
Can I just say, I love your videos and I wouldn't be mad if you decided to post more often than once a week!? Thanks for sharing and all the work that goes into it!
It looks great! Well done Tom and boys. Good idea removing the bush, what a lovely view now.
Those nippers are bigger than your son is holy cow. Down on his backside he goes GREAT JOB!!! Now just a little bit of weed whacking to clean up the walls will look AWESOME for sure. Great JOB all of you and it's looking fantastic. It will take some time to get the trees trimmed and in the process the boy's are learning a lot for sure. God is Blessing you all.
What a transformation! Just my opinion, but the silo should be left as it is. The weathered wood contributes to the historic look of the silo and the barn.
love the idea of restoring that silo to it's former glory - it's beautiful! hopefully doable 🤞
Power washing the wood on the silo would work....just like doing a deck. Great time lapse video. Your hardwork really paid off, the place looks awesome!! 🤩
Awesome job! Prayers for your safety! You guys do an amazing job! You are a rockstar Tom.
What a blessing you are to your family. Great work all three of you on the clean up. That is a wonderful change.
I would bet that it is so much brighter inside the house too! Everything looks great!
That property cleans up nicely. After the stressful week you had Tom I'm glad you could do the yard work and that it had such a beautiful result
You two are blessed with wonderful children!!
Wow! Tom!!!! This is amazing! Please....be careful climbing! Sixteen feet up is a LOT!!! My Dad fell off a 16 foot ladder and broke his right arm...He was fortunate not to be hurt worse. I can't imagine climbing and cutting limbs by yourself! This was such an incredible transformation: I want to live with that view. Gorgeous!!!! Thanks so much for letting us come along to see your progress. Praying for your safety and strength! Corbin is coming right behind you! ❤🙏Jane in SC
What a difference it made to cut all those branches and trees down. Your boys are great help. Sure enjoy watching you work.
Tom, you are quite IMPRESSIVE!
Looks great! That was probably just a weedy shrub copse (buckthorn, Asian honeysuckle) anyway. I would have done the same. There was a parkway tree two houses away that needed to come down - it was a dying silver maple with multiple thick limbs hanging over a two story house. Our local tree service come out with a cherry picker and crew of four guys with ALL the chainsaws (I've never seen so many sizes of chainsaws!!). After the complex rigging of ropes and tackles was complete, they set to work. It was like watching an aerial ballet. The tree came down safely in a matter of an hour or two.
I so hope you look into doing something to the wood on the silo-I know it would be kinda “extra”, but I can tell you would so get a kick out of restoring it closer to it’s original natural beauty. I think it would be such a stunning focal point for the property, (and kind of a pay off for you both for all the hard work you did!)
Yes ! I totally agree ! You deserve it, Tom & Dawn ! GO for it !
Hi from Richfield! My husband and I love your channel. We look forward to watching it every Friday night as part of our “ DATE NIGHT “ ❤🎉❤️🏡
Seeing you work and tackle new and sometimes scary things really motivated me to start learning how to do practical things for myself. I‘m a 34 year old mom who mostly drew and read as a child, I feel so empowered to finally use a drill that I got for my birthday/Christmas gift. We hang up our first curtain pole with a few hiccups that taught me a lot. It almost sounds embarrassing that I hadn‘t learned to use one all these years. Definitely will teach my kids what I learn. Your kids are very fortunate to have such a skilled dad who lets them help.
I was raised with manual hand-tools and still haven't learned to use electric ones 😬 (at 35) so kudos to you on your learning journey!! 💗
@@HannahRainbow88 thank you. I have a wonderful brother in law who is patiently teaching me (and my husband). I thought I made a mistake when drilling in the holes for the curtain pole and felt like giving up but it turned out that the wall plugs that came with the curtain pole weren't any good so as soon as better (IKEA) wall plugs were used for the same holes everything worked perfectly but I guess that is only something you can learn from experience ^^.
I can’t believe the limitless energy Tom has. I wish he was a little more careful about his health and safety. When he was working in the basement with all that dust it was a while before he donned a mask and it looked like he should have been wearing two. Watching him trim those trees by himself was also hard to watch. He should have at least had someone there who could call the emts if the unthinkable happened. Take care of yourself Tom. I love watching your videos. I get a vicarious jolt of adrenaline and such satisfaction with your accomplishments!
Great job. Looks amazing. Great that the boys helped.
So Awesome. Go Team Madsen Boys!!!!! See you next week.
YAY! Corbin! Great job!
I’m impressed. Every property needs maintenance, so nature doesn’t take over. I have a small yard and I’m out there often, clipping, trimming, mowing, etc.
I have watched your intro so many times and the garage door smashing the light kills me every time 😂😂
You asked Dawn how much she thought it would cost to have that work done, she said $5 K. I was thinking more like $16K, in my area. Good job well done, Tom!
Boy he is doing an excellent job on those trees 😮
Great work ethic like his dad 😊
My hubby loves watching you
That's amazing good for Corbin cutting those trees down!!!!
When Corbin was taking out that tree I kept thinking of the boy in the book “Where the Red Fern Grows”. If you haven’t read it, it is a great read aloud book for the whole family!
Corbin was so proud! That was awesome! I was mentally helping him cut that tree down! 😂
My favorite days are when Dawn posts videos and when Tom posts videos.
We have a stand of 7 or 8 pines that we want to remove from our front driveway. We live in Florida, and we are concerned about a bad storm coming through and making them fall on our cars and house. We were quoted $10,000 to have them removed. I think Dawn's estimation was very conservative. 😊
You've given the place a good haircut!!
Really awesome job, Tom! Absolutely love it! To me it seems like you are very much in your element, problem solving and rebuilding and discovering etc. I’m glad you can be at home full-time, working on these properties. So many skills involved and what great results!! No need to change the channel name, because you still video yourself walking on the roof and climbing 16 ft ladders…but at least you acknowledged limits and stopped at this point! I’d say your judgment is getting a lot less rusty as time goes on. 😉
I love that you make these videos. I was a fan of 'This Old House' as a kid and this gives me that same kind of entertainment. Thank you for taking the time to record all your hard work.
My dad was born (1932) and raised in Albert Lea. I don't know how far that is from you. His father was a sod farmer. Dad moved to Colorado after college. Two years there and then 50 years overseas in Guam and Palau. The last 9 years in Florida near me. My mom's family moved from Wisconsin to Alberta Lea when she was 16. I guess the Minnesota connection resonates with me! Your grandpa was a handsome man and it is amazing how similar you look.
Amazing, i am so proud of your children, beautiful family
Personally, I love watching you work and your kids are the best!! Was it Corbin who helped Dawn paint the garage floor? I can tell that they're Godly kids of Godly parents!! WTG, PTL!!
Hey Tom! You are doing so much work and I have heard you say, “nobody want to watch me do that stuff”. I have a couple of channels for you, Simple Living Alaska, and Bushradical. Both prove that yes, we do want to watch the everyday stuff and I would love to see your channel grow. I had an opportunity to meet Bushradical and he told me that getting the shot, up close and from a couple of angles, then skip forward is key to holding interest of the viewer. You’re a great guy and I wish you the best. I’d love to take you guys ATV riding in our area, you would love it. ❤
