Great accomplishment, enjoy watching the two of working together
Keep up the great work.😊👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊🙏🙏🙏👀👀👁👁😉🫠🙃🙂
That rock crusher has come in very handy for many projects, and that backhoe has paid for itself many times over...love the hug on the trailer,,,love the commentary along the way and during the projects...snack break was good to show...glad the super came out to inspect...so exciting, glad you guys are learning and sharing...love your family
Ja-Ja-Ja Jacobbbb - you needed a slapjack break!😍🇨🇦
Always a good day when Boulder life comes on enjoy your content😊
Always heartwarming to see your family working together towards building the family home. Yoe can see the excitement building in Natalie as she envisions her home moving towards completion. Love your family channel. It's the best.
I really enjoy watching how good you've become at maneuvering that tractor/back hoe/bucket and how excellent you two are at working as a team!
The scariest sentence in the English language: "We're from the government, we're here to help!"
Moving on to the house, that is very exciting!! All looks great!!
In Australia most tradies call it a whacker packer love your work and that you think outside the square
Nice to see your going and making it without to much debt as you build it up
Great to watch your progress, so looking forward to the house build. x👍🏴🏴👍🏴🏴👍❤️
Love this channel. None of the other off grid channels can compare.
I also have changed the nozzles on my fuel tanks. But I have a Diesel pickup that requires DEF. I found a battery operated transfer pump that costs around $20 and would transfer 5 gallons in a couple of minutes. It's diesel compatible .Amazon.
You guys are on a mission. What a vision you had from the beginning. Jacob, is there anything you’re not good at? You guys have saved so much money by knowing what to do and doing it yourselves. Great work to you all. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
I laughed when you first showed us that tiny rock crusher but you guys are killing it with it. Hats off to you and your family for the work you accomplish together. It’s nice to know families like that still exist.
I am certain that you have crunched the numbers, but it is hard to imagine that "trailer at a time" is cheaper than dump truck delivery for as much as you are using.
You build this wine cellar is too professional, I mean the way you lay out the plastic before you adding gravel is so incredibly, you never ever get a water den from the other side , your house is 1000% safe , I’m just ❤ your channel , great work 👏
Wine cellar? Are we invited?
👍👍👍👍👍
Lots of good work completed. Another step forward. Not to be repeated. I was thinking about where you were a year ago. A few more months down the road the root cellar will be completed. I loved Natalie's face when the topic of starting the foundation for the house. Sheer JOY !!!
Your camera work is great! You’ve come soooo far. Great job trying new stuff and taking chances! The fact that your family is so wonderfully made is always a given in your videos. Thank you!!
You guys are doing a great job. You don’t realize how much work that is until you actually do it. I agree with you 100% on those fuel can nozzles if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Thanks 4 the video
Hello my dears, you are an inspiration, nothing stops you. I remember the boulders that were removed for days and days fighting against the stones, but always focused. I love you, your young son is always "helping" everyone helps but the little one is so cute. Kisses and hugs from Portugal ❤❤❤❤❤🇵🇹🥰
Gonna need a bigger cellar
They have the sheds and probably will build a pantry in the kitchen. Right, Natalie?
Yes. There will also be a party. Thanks 🙂
Bạn thật là giỏi❤❤
Great Job! The delivery cost has to be really high if you’re planning on making all those trips for more fill dirt. I can get 20 tons delivered for $100.
Wow, that's a lot cheaper than what we were quoted here. It's about $550 for 23 tons at a time. Thanks 🙂
@@aboulderlifeoffgrid YIKES!
Nozzel=that is our wonderful government, it's not broke, how can we break it and regulate it.
Seems it would be faster to use a dump truck. Good work though.
They are very thorough and everything is done with attention to detail. Good job! 👍
2:58 Let me remind you of the flooding on September 10, 2023 in Libya, Darna. There were > 11,000 deaths in this city alone and the area is virtually desert and has less vegetation than you.
Just really enjoy watching your progress. Keep it going.
What was the cost of having that rock delivered? Seems to me you could have had thirty to forty yards delivered and not wasted all that time going back and forth, unloading all the rock and moving the rock
Very interesting, 👍only a pipe with soil, the acidity of the soil weakens the pipe, next time it is advisable to give it another sleeve of a large pipe for quick replacement + that it will not freeze in the snow
I cant believe the progress! Amazing work abilities also..
personally would go ahead and put in buried drainage system a French Drain to channel water away
also use at least 3 in of rigid closed cell foam on outside
granted you are in Arizona but plan for absolute worst example 100 worst weather extremes
looking forward to watching the house build
could use similar techniques to build a cistern for holding water something to think about unless you have well or other utilities
Jumping Jack Compaction (Compactor)... good job!!
You did say you got the new gas nozzle at tractor supply. Thank you we need new one's.
my first thought at the start of the video is you look wore out. live is tuff when your on a mission. more power to you. keep up the great work.
You folks know how to work toward your goals with much hard work. Your attention to detail will make for a wonderful home... soon. Blessings to all of you.
You should have put some of those rocks in first to take some of the volume up
Daylight saving time here in Calgary Canada I get to watch your video an hour earlier today, Tell McKenzie this old guy loves Cheetos, a wave back to Eli and looking forward to next week take care
Thanks so much for taking us along for an exciting video. See you on your next visit.
I really appreciate your videos and especially how you two (and family) work together. I expect you all have done the math, and are content in the way you all are doing this vs. having loads brought in. I have found the material is cheap but delivery is not, however factoring in fuel, time, wear and tear on vehicle and trailer would it not be better to have sand/gravel delivered? Is delivery not an option with your road or distance from gravel pit? Curious what factors you think about in these decisions.
We've gotten a lot of comments on this and are going to explain it in the next video. Appreciate you. Thanks 🙂
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Love the drone footage. Are you going to do a slab pour over the root cellar? Thanks. 🫡 Bill
Yes. A slab will go over top of the root cellar. Thanks 🙂
Hi from the UK again. I have possibly a daft question - since you are gonna pour a slab over the top of the root cellar, how do you get into it ?
Is there gonna be a trap door sort of entry with a ladder down into it ?
Yes, the plan is to have a trap door down into it. Thanks 🙂
❤great video thank you🙏🙂
why dont you get it deivered with a big truck surely it would work out better with time and petrol and wear n tear of the car and trailer but mostly time
I agree except for delivery is very expensive. Thanks 🙂
It must be so nice to see the root cellar build coming to an end. So amazed at what you’ve done! Hi, kids! 😍🇨🇦
Awesome work guys, what a great point to be at as you roll into spring.
Well done amazing job
Strong Work!!!💪🏻🥰🙏🏻❤️
Is a dump truck delivery really that expensive?
Yes. We'll talk later when all the material is in. Thanks 🙂

Good morning hope you guys are having a wonderful day keep up the good work I'm proud of all of you catch you guys later
Soil compactor or tamper are what I call it. Never slapjack
Why?
Fill it UP😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some great progress here. Thanks for taking us along.
What a lot of work ! Natalie you always have such a good attitude 😊
Shortly after getting up on Sunday morning I go on YT to see if they have a video up yet!!! I believe this is my most favorite family to watch.🎉❤
Kudo's
👍👍👍
❤😊❤😊❤😅
👍👍
👏👍
Had BBQ Ray helping on my driveway. I had gotten roadbase that was made from cinders and caleche. Ray said instead I should have gotten Class 6 made with rock (basalt) as the cinders crush. May not matter for the root cellar but might matter for under the slab.
Awesome job, Root cellar looks great.
How do you afford all of this?
Through lots of saving but mostly from selling our house in the city. Thanks 🙂
I wonder if just getting the fill delivered with a triaxel might have been cheaper considering your time and fuel costs.
Love the progress! Thanks for another great segment! Take care and stay safe.
Bro is that Sean James music😂 nice!!!!
Ya, I guess so 😅
With that much rock. Would it have been more cost effective to have it delivered? At least find a used dump trailer.
Actually, it's not. Maybe I'll share some numbers when we're done bringing it all in. The real factor to consider is the time it takes going back and forth. Thanks 🙂
You guys always do the best job!! 🤠
Huge Progress. So cool. Stay Safe
Looking good!
Oh boy ! Another "Off Grid" fallacy !
*Ah-Ha* Moments Joined by ( Pit Falls ) of Hidden Costs Equals what ?
SHIPPING and Handling Costs. ( Which both are about Planning and Over - Paying )
Today *YOU* Posted this clip of Hauling a Item that is Rampant on YOUR own property. The HUGE Difference between: Crushing, Sifting, Washing, and GRADING * Stone, Gravel, Rock, and Its By Products * is Like toilet paper being flushed away then brought back for use on any other day. WILL Explain. Even before YOU purchased this Land. A Plan was formed from a DREAM that Better things lye ahead. G R E A T ( FANTASTIC ) Way to Go * BUTT* with that also comes Hidden Figures like: Maintenance, Gas, Oil, Filters, Wear and Tear, Shall I keep avoiding what really needs to be said here ? Mechanical Advantages are the GLUE that Finds all the Cracks and Crevices alike. FILLING the GAPS in what is SPENT, SAVED, Pissed Away. ( 1-2-3 ) No one ever wants to hear ( I TOLD YOU SO ) yet , to often the kick in the seat of your pants is what gets the Brain Juices Flowing. Had a couple ask me one day. ( WHY ) do so many Developers Scrap off the top soil ( SELL IT ) then Expect *US* to buy it Back again ??? This is known as a By-Product of the Land Development Process. Digging holes and Filling in the Low spots. Think of a Triangle. What ever size fits you best. Point "A" to Point "B" then From back and Forth to what Some might call Point "C". Never lose a step by wasting Time and Money ( SHIPPING and Handling ) Cost. What you take from one area ( GETS ) used in another. What others want that you have in a Surplus? Pays for the items that would otherwise Sit on the way side getting in the way due to Having Way to MUCH !!! are you seeing this circle in the form of a Triangle now ??? The Voice of REASON is FULL of WISDOM from being there, Doing that, Helping Others ( Figure it out ) Before the Budget is blown and all your hard work then gets tossed out in stone transporting fees and worse. Break Downs of Vehicles and trailers.
