My favorite RUclips family. You have fixed so many tooth on that bucket, you can call yourself a dentist 😂😂😂. Your kids are getting so big Logan is almost as tall as you. I am so happy you are progressing on your house build. Blessings to your family🙏🏾🥰
Well done guys, it’s starting to take shape. You both have the patience of saints.
Good Morning. How you doing today? Upgrades have a wonderful day keep up the good work Up, here's have a wonderful day, keep app the good work. Keep up the good work. I'm proud of.
Great job guy's! Y'all are hard worker's!
I don't know if you watch Lumnah Acres. They built a house two years ago with radiant floor heating with an outdoor wood furnace. They used a type of foam that interlocked like ship lap and had "knobs" on it that held the pex tubing in place.. It was called Crete Heat and eliminated the need for metal grid to tie the pex. You might want to check it out and their video showing them installing it. Thanks for sharing
I can't wait to see you build the masonary heater. Great job so far.
Great progress on your amazing build!! You’ll be pouring those footings in no time. Take care & stay safe!
You are the first that i watching on Sunday well after Church i enjoy watching the amazing progress you have made.
Ooooooo! This is so exciting for you guys!!! I can’t wait to see you start building!
❤oh goodness those trenches and footers look perfect to me. Especially compared to your past trenches where boulders had to be moved. Great video and closing drone view🙏🙂
I never realized that welding in the same spot makes it brittle and prone to breaking
It doesn't, from a 20 year certified welder on backhoe, excavator and bulldozer buckets, the only thing that breaks those teeth is picking at giant boulders with a single tooth !!
You made the right choice. Radiant barrier insulation requires an air gap to provide insulation benefits. And bubble foil has bubbles, but when you put those under thousands of pounds of concrete, I don't suppose they age well. Another possible benefit of radiant barrier insulation is that, if you tape the seams, you get an air barrier. But for under-concrete work, you could just lay down plastic and get the same effect.
Having watched all of the work you've done on your land, I would think that given your soil conditions, that when you finish with all of the footers and the slab, the hardest part of your build will be done...nice!
Just like the old saying goes! "Square trenches make for calm senses! " Ok I just made that up, but still! 🤣
As always great job. Thanks for sharing.
Like a building inspector told me once when building my log home and I ran into a vw size rock, really. "you can't get a better foundation than a rock that has been in the ground for millions of years", just pour over it..... Great job you guys did on your foundation trench !!😁
Love it, I've been thinking about insulated footer/stem wall details recently
Kinda cool that God gave you a cornerstone that cannot be moved!
Great job guys! Can you bring the backhoe by and move my CONEX 15'? The shed mover guys aren't even returning mails or calls. Too busy to answer the phone or return a call or email. Seems they should expand their crew. Spoke to someone else who has used them and has a great repoirre with them, and he is getting the same treatment. Heading back to Concho today but had to watch your video first. Use Dexpan on the stubborn boulder.
U need to make a hoover where u can vacuum the dry dirt straight into the trailer, I've seen 1 for leaves ❤
That's sure better digging than the septic system!
Nice job guys !!
I used to be able to work that hard lol.
I really love your videos with all of us. The oldest wants to work and is getting so much better at it. A new home for the whole family that will be strong and beautiful for a living family. See you all next week!
Good morning friends unfortunate you got more snow but it looks great from here in Calgary Canada take care
When did that Little Boy; Logan Grow So Big???
Jacob is a dentist again for the baco. 😊 Have a nice week friends! 🎉
It's coming together nicely. I'm really looking forward to the footer, stem wall, and pad pour. I hope you have a great week.
I so enjoy you and your better half building your new home. You all are so happy. It is a pleasure watching your endeavors and failures. Your family keep up the good work.🙏👌✌️👁❤😊👳♂️

I love all the “hieroglyphics” on the side of the backhoe’s bucket!

Going to be so nice

You may be watching copper going up. It is my understanding that you should be able to buy copper wire closer to the prices in the 2008-09 range in a year and a half to two years from now. If you have scrap you might want to sell it soon when copper reaches the $6 range. Good luck with your build and you may want to seal your house against wind driven ember.
You all are doing a great job and teaching your kids life skills where they can teach their selfs is priceless. I think you are doing that if you know it or not.
Thanks for sharing.
More snow? Ugh!!
At 7:10 ....When I built a detached 24' x 28' heated garage I dug down and installed 2" heavy duty Styrofoam vertically around the outside of the footing and buried it all just below finished ground level. The foam went down 2 feet and I anchored it to my footing with tap-con screws and big washers. First winter the frost pushed all the foam up to the point it made contact with my siding, I had to dig again and remove all of it. Our frost can go as deep as 4-6 feet here in Timmins Ont. Canada. The frost levels in Phoenix will never cause you the same heartache.
Wow, that's crazy. Our frost line here is 18 inches. Thanks 🙂
Those are some good-looking footers you got dug. NICE JOB ❤
do you think you have enough rocks to go around the whole house :)
Yup. There are plenty of rocks out here. Thanks 🙂
I am now caught up with ALL of your videos lol! Now I have to wait for new episodes 😊 looking forward to all of your inventive content! By the way Hello from Kentucky 😊
So cool 😎. Thanks for your support. 🙂
👍🇨🇦
Yay no boulders!!!
❤😊❤😊❤😊
👍👍
🚜👍
Are you putting the foam under the footer? Or just down the inside of the footer and under the slab?
Under the footer as well. Thanks 🙂
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid I didn't think you were supposed to do that.
@@number40Fan Everyone I've seen put foam board down, puts it all around in the footers. But I'll look into it further to make sure. Thanks.
That welding wasn’t strong not vary good welding
Just because the welds don't look good doesn't mean they are not strong. I've welded on that bucket several times and have never had a weld break or crack.
I'm glad you are making your Footers now for your house. 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😉🫠🙃🙂😍😍👍👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🙏🙏🙏👊👊
