    Being raised on a farm and having a father that was on the farm during the great depression I know about Junk equipment and what my dad called his bone yard of spare parts and things he might need. These old guys never threw anything away because they were raised and lived when you fixed what you had and you made do with everything.
    If you ever have the privilege to work with these older folks and realize this country could learn a lot from them about making things work rather then having the throw away society we have today.
    I really think your father and your grandfather would be busting at the seems proud of you.
    You have an amazing additude and if more young folks had your mindset this country of ours would turn around and it might sound crazy but it would return to the great place to live I remember .
    Well done and for what it's worth this old man is proud of you an would love to be able to call you my friend.

I love when you talk about how important your faith is to you. God bless you, Cole, for showing us that you can keep accomplishing your goals by getting out there day by day and doing it.

    Cole, I am a 54 year old mother to 3 boys. My husband and I have been married for 28 years. The year of 2022 was absolutely awful to us as we lost our house in Norcal Jan02,2022 and we became homeless. We fortunately had an old tent trailer which we camped in for 6 whole months. Then my husband went back to work after cv19. So, on 6/24 he fell between 8-30 ft down to the ground. He was hurt so bad and ended up needing emergency brain to to the speech center of his brain. His job put me and our kids into hotel rooms. We got out of the hotel rooms and finally found a large brand new house that would fit me and our 3 kids. We moved in 2 weeks ago. My husband is still in the hospital 6 months later and he is improving but he still can’t walk, talk, eat, swallow and we did what we told ourselves we were going to do. On a good note if you want to take it this way, I lost over 100lbs this year and I look in the mirror and I can’t believe how much I have changed. Wearing cloths I have not been able to wear since before my kids were born. My point here is, we learned what not to do and get into a rental house to have a safe roof over our heads and to get our lives back together. We are doing it.

    First time I found your channel. I picked a good one. I'm 74 and have always had the same attitude you have. I'll let you in on secret. IT'S WORTH IT. Keep taking those small steps. When you look back, you'll surprise even yourself.
    One piece of advice. Do things once! Don't be tempted to empty the truck on the spot and think you'll pick it up later. Put things where they belong, and where you can find them, when next you need it. You'll save a lot of time, and have time to take another forward step, instead of backwards or sideways. Good luck kid. Wish I was your age, so I could have another 50 years of doing some more things on the ever changing bucket list.

    This might be one of the most satisfying videos I’ve ever watched. To see this place that has been neglected for so long, cleaned up and restored to its full beauty just fulfills something g deep in me. I’m sure that this farm has done tons of work and all of the things that were used up and left behind are a testament to those generations of hard work. But it’s so nice to see your property be used in a way that honors it’s beauty instead of treating it as a junkyard for all of the discarded tools from all those years of work. What an accomplishment and what an honor to all of the generations of your family who have lived there will live there. Keep up the good work Cole and family!!

      It's not neglect. That is an amazing farm, but if it costs so much money and labor to clean up, you can see why a farmer would park stuff around and just leave it... Imagine if Cole wasn't so smart with the RUclips income? How could he afford the $100, 000 for the clean-up? Cole is lucky to be in a successful farming family that bought land and worked it and survived AND passed it on!!!
