    Hello my dears, I am 60 years old and I love seeing your perseverance in your fight against diseases. Today, watching your video, I remembered my grandfather who, without knowing how to read, was a very intelligent man. He used an expression that went like this: "some are born bricklayers, others chew to break stone". If you translate it literally even more so that I'm Portuguese, it doesn't mean the same as what we read. But expressions have a lot to do with today's video. Sorry for the long comment but I liked sharing it because I loved it. I love your family, you have wonderful children ❤❤🥰🇵🇹

    And now we all know the answer to the long asked question. "What happens when an unstoppable force ( Natalie and Jacob ) meets an unmovable object (AZ white mountain stone)?" Well they break through and make a root cellar! hahaha Awesome job guys!

    Olá meus queridos tenho 60 anos e adoro ver a vossa perseverança nessa vosso luta contra as pdras. Hoje ao assistir ao vosso vídeo lembrei o meu avô que sem saber ler era um homem muito inteligente, ele usava uma expressão que era a seguinte " uns nascem pedreiros outros mascem para partir pedra". Se traduzir à letra ainda mais que eu sou portuguesa não quer dizer o mesmo que lemos. Mas as expressão tem muito a ver com o vídeo de hoje. Desculpem o comentario longo mas gostei de partilhar pois eu adorava-o. Adoro a vossa familia têm uns filhos maravilhosos ❤❤🥰🇵🇹

    Hey good morning or good afternoon you guys what's on the agenda for today are you guys going to build the house or what's going to take a lot of people out there to build it or you don't need help anything you don't need help and I don't think you can do it by yourself all the help that you can get but I think it'd be so much better if you got some extra help all right guys have a great day and have a great Christmas and we don't see you

    Did you already explain why you didn’t consider moving the location of the root cellar when you realized that the rock was going to require so much work to remove?

  • @rudyfisher7660
    @rudyfisher7660 6 месяцев назад +2

    Yeah, but you're doing all right, but you need to be having the blade at the back away from the edge toward the blade helps balance you out and put your front of yourescue later to the edge of the home and then you'll be able to see straight down and at the weight of the be back behind you not have to sign your set inside ways. It's not as good on your mission.

    why don't you build the root cellar above ground?

    • @aboulderlifeoffgrid
      @aboulderlifeoffgrid  6 месяцев назад

      Traditionally, they're below ground. The temperature stays cool that way.
