🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
In today's video we use our Massey Ferguson 1825EH compact tractor and Speeco 3 Pt. 12" auger to drill our fifteen footer holes for our new 20 x 32 Workshop Build! We also set 15 concrete tube forms (sometimes called sonotubes) and plumb them to serve as our concrete forms and foundation. Let's go!

You two are so cute working together
Sam ….that auger sure is a life saver! I’m so glad you guys got one and have gotten really good at using it! Saves the back for sure! Sooo excited for you!
It sure has paid for itself in my opinion! Then again, it was Angela's idea for tree planting so I'm totally in the clear! LOL
Angela getting to be a pro at that tractor 🚜
I enjoy watching you work smarter. Great tips.
I was watching steep in the woods I believe it’s called and I saw you Sam helping him build his cabin now I’m 74 years old and panicked because I thought I was having a senior moment 🇬🇧😊
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and working on the homestead building
Thank you! You too!
I just really enjoy seeing how people's lives are made so much easier with the purchase of a tractor. They are literally life altering! And so much easier on physical bodies! 😅 Also, these cliff hangers are really leaving me hangin'.
Hey Angela, you're hired!!!! Great job, pretty great boss you got there, too! Love watching you all!
Angela, you did great with the tractor and your hair looks good.
This was another fantastic video.
Y’all take care.
Thank you! You too!
I agree, your hair looks amazing.
The things some people do in the dark 😊
Angela handles the tractor like a pro now.😊
Anxious to see the next step.
GREAT JOB!! ANGELA & SAM
Nice job👍tractor wranglin Angela!
Great job for working together so well. Sam, glad to see you staying away from the PTO Shaft this time! Awesome and thank you both for the update.
Hi Sam and Angela! It was good to see another video. Looking forward to the next step on the work shop.😊
Practice makes perfect
As always, AWESOME JOB!! Angela got that tractor trained!! 👏 👏 Good gracious!! I hope y'all have your long johns handy! It's 39° here this morning and I AIN'T READY FOR WINTER!!🤦😄 Hope y'all have a blessed weekend!
We've not had any bad cold snaps here yet, but each day brings us closer for sure.
Great teamwork as always…let’s go!!!
Ready to get this building started. Everything is exciting!
Team work makes it dream work. Y'all got it done.
Wow Angela, way to go. .
Good afternoon Sam and Angela , nice to see you again .
That was fun watching you improve the process in real time.
Great progress on the shop. 👍🏼
Looking forward to your next video.
I really miss the bloopers at the end of the videos lol. You guys are the best…
I like the night Sam Cam. Thats using your head..Keep up the great progress.
Hi Sam Angela & boys! 💕
Such work involved in making sure everything is where you want it to be. I appreciate this family video more than you know. See you all next time. Hi boys!
You two are a great team.❤
I’m glad you know what you’re doing because I’m confused as heck! 😳
Seems like be more advantageous to pour a solid slab and anchor the building to it. It’s hard to get a good appraisal if you ever need a loan in the future. You never know. Wish I had dirt like you. You’re doing a good job. Best of luck.
Great job! I can’t wait to see the next video!!!!
Angela is pretty good at getting the drill in the correct place , zero in on it .
She sure is!
Love the “no arguments “ comment.
Love the way you learned something new!
dig a hole in the corner of the carport put a tube in it. then put the auger in it. might be easyer to unhook n hook up to the tractor as the hole will be a holder for it.. just a idea
XPFTP..... That is a great idea!
That is a great idea!!! I've been tying it to an upright for stability and safety, but this idea is great too!
You're got this down. It's looking great.. love you both....hugs
Coming along Sam. The build videos will be epic. I’m curious to see how your going to connect them.
That was quick, Great job guy's!
You guys are amazing! Congratulations on 100k thank you both for sharing! Take care!
Nice job!
Wahooo!
Great team work as always from you both.
thank you for sharing have a Blessed day. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! You too!
Super job kids. RR Builders do a lot of post and beam stuff and they use the concrete to level their tubes by pulling them up or pushing them down to get to grade. They do a rough cut of the tubes first. After they are poured and set they go back and write any height adjustments on the concrete piers to show how much to adjust the studs to get a level top plate... I am sure this is way too late but ... I think I'd drive a stake beside each one to know the height needed at that tube.
I really enjoy watching their channel too!
Great Job!!😊
Looks like this is going to be a fast build👍
It is going very quickly!
Amazing job
Great job ! I want to see more! ❤
Great job 👏 you did great 👍
I love this channel I love learning new things tyfs hugs 🤗
Aww, thank you!
Good day’s work!
Yes it was!
Love your videos ...thanks !!!
Great team work👍
You go girl 😊👏
Looking good. That setup is way nicer than the HF hole digger you had in NC.
Sure is! Although it's a tad more costly too. ;)
Awesome!
Awesome job 😊
Thank you! 😄
😊
Cool
Are those shirts cool? I'm thinking about getting some if they are cooler than a T-Shirt. That's cool temperature wise, not just looking cool like you.
I like them for that exact reason! I'm always burning up, and these are light and airy feeling without being clingy or anything. I (obviously) like working in them and have several of the same two colors. :)
Like your hat, I worked for that company for 37 years.Just wondering what your connections are to it
I found my first version of the hat at a retail store here and liked it. It then got chewed up by the brush mower on a windy day, then someone bought me a replacement. It's been a great hat!
👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I think you have some "crop circles" going on in your yard!! LOL!
👍♥️
❤😊❤😊❤😊
✔👍🤗
Do you have plans for this building you could share?
Does the auger just stop if there's a rock? 🤔
It depends on the size of the rock. Smaller ones and it will hop and jump around as it chews on it. Larger ones and it will probably just sit and spin since it cannot go any further. If it happens to get hung up on a rock it cannot move, then it would either stall the tractor or break the shear pin if the operator isn't quick enough to press the clutch.

When you tamp around tube posts ect flip your hoe handle up side down helps
Hey Sam, where did you get the additional control bar mounted on the top of your auger? I need to exert more downward pressure on my auger and I need one of those. Thanks!
It’s a 24” tire iron that fits right at the pole and gear box area. :) Nothing special or dedicated, just a hack that works.
👍👍💕💕🎶🎶

I assume these 2 shops are going to be connected? Isn't the other one sitting on top of the ground? By putting this other below frost line you will have one moving up and down constantly in the winter with frost heave but the other staying stationary. If connected that is going to be a problem.
Yes, they'll be connected. The other shop is on a block foundation but with footers below it. It has also been there two years and settled all it will. We don't have frost heave where we live to cause issues.
🎉 use a chainsaw to cut the tubes !!!😊
Second to comment........yay!!!!!!
🙋♀️🌻
How many hours do you have on your Massey now?
Nearing 200 hours now. Still going strong and working perfectly. :)
I couldn’t understand what you were saying about TN hard ?
The soil here is called Tennessee hard pan... it's a super hard layer of clay that's tons of "fun" to dig through.
Why not put in a slab of concrete?
Good question and before the U.S. made a deal with China to supply all their concrete material for a dam as long as the coastline of N.C., a person could afford to pour a slab....but not now!! I remember when a yard of finished concrete(labor and materials) was $30.00-$35.00 a yard. Not any more😢 The price shot up IMMEDIATELY and has never come back down to affordability!
The cost would be astronomical and end result not be on the same plane as my current workshop.
Why don't you pour a concrete
concret slab
Cost is way too high & this workshop will be on the same plane as my current workshop.
Sam ,this has nothing to do with your project that you are working on now , I was watching your videos on the soap shack build and you mentioned that you wish you had a magnetic tip to hold your screws , Amazon has a magnetic tip magnetizer for screwdrivers and screw tips for about seven dollars , It’ll Magnetite and unmagnetite
Sam did ya notice your better half got a haircut ?
I sure did. :) And it was from a channel viewer we've met here locally too! They're a hair dresser and said hi in the store one day. We have the coolest viewers we think. :)
Why are all the buildings so crowded together? You guys have lots of land...
Because we want them like that. :)
First to comment yahhhh
🏆😁
Nope, I'm first!
I am extremely surprised that you put those tubes to the bottom of the hole.
It would be very difficult to backfill around those tubes all the way to the bottom with any kind of correct compaction.
Just like any standard foundation you normally fill the trench with concrete to the surface of the ground and then use forms above the ground.
That makes a lot stronger foundation.
That's also why when you dig holes for steel fence posts you put concrete in the hole all the way out to the dirt all the way up to the top of the hole.
If you put the steel fence post in the way you're doing it then the fence would wobble!
In other words, the concrete is supposed to fill all the space between the post and the already compacted ground.
Besides, if you're going to cut the tubes off at ground level, then why waste money on those tubes at all!
I've been in construction for many years and I've never seen anybody put the tubes down inside the hole.
That is a waste of money and it makes the foundation weaker.
And why would you even need to push down on the auger? The tractor has a hundred times more strength than you do. 10 feet away....
Down pressure with 3 pt hitches is not common with tractors like you are assuming.
Boy oh boy you sure don't have enough fear of that machine. Grabbing ahold of the auger and being so close to it. All it takes is one mistake or a lapse of concentration on either person's part... 10 feet away would be a safe distance.
Very nice set up. Do u have to submit bldg. plans to the county you r in before you started your footers for your new workshop.
don't have to explain everything like we are a 2 year old.
