One beam, two tractors, welding, grinding and LOTS of stress in today’s video! Not only did we work on the container shop, but we also brought y’all along to the river to release a bucket full of turtles. What more can you ask for?

You guys are without a doubt the number one site from my top ten I watch. I am 77 years old and as you can guess "old school". I am retired military and law enforcement and as you can imagine I have been there and done that", but having said that you two have given me a whole new look on your generation. What you have accomplished working together has been nothing short of amazing. The love you two have with your selves and your Daughter is what most families only dream of today. I just can't say enough how much I love you guys and what you stand for and display. Just keep on keeping on and don't let any anyone get you down, because any negative or caustic comments come from negative and caustic people who are usually upset because they don't have the joy and love of life that you do.
Thank you so much for such a nice thoughtful comment Mr. Daniel! Your kind words are appreciated more than you know😊😊
Tip for anyone wants to find the center of any measurement within the length of their tape measure - fold the tape and put the end on 15' 5" and right in the radius of the fold is the center number -921/2". To find the center of a board or beam, example 15' 5", measure 7' 6" from both ends, then divide what is left after you minus 15' is 5" divided by 2 is 2 1/2". Using the tape measure to its full potential, will eliminate 90% of the math. This last way you don't even need a tape measure to find the center. Get approx. an 8' wall stud, mark the length from both ends, then use the 3 1/2" side to mark from each of these marks to find the center. 96" - 3 1/2" = 92 1/2".
Math can be scary till you learn how to apply it in all forms, simple math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus.
You're both incredibly blessed to be married to the best helpmate you could ever had. What an amazing couple, and I love your attitudes!!
We are so happy to have each other. 🫶 thank you for watching!
Cute and fun video as always. Cracked welds are just caused by atmospheric disruption of the time space continuum, so it is no fault of the person applying said welds.
HA. HA. HA. Sounds like someone is covering for Jim. 😂
Do love an attitude adjusting hootus, great work guys and your videos are always fun 🤩 🇬🇧
Everyone needs one!😊😄
Stay safe y'all, see ya at the next one.
Thanks James!
Great Job guy's on getting the structural steel welded to ur container's. it might be a good ideal to wear long pants and boots when u are welding.
Thank you Billy!
Thanks for providing me with another chance to laugh and really have an enjoyable moment.😊
The way you work through situations is so unconventional that I can't help but admire both of you.
Sometimes I learn something.
This time from the deep wisdom of Jim.
There's no " I" in t or was it tea or tee 😊
I gotta get me a pair of those safety Crocs 😊
Were those safety shorts and tee shirts too 😊
Don't you two ever change. I like you just the way you are 😊
With all the finaggling
you did to get that I-beam up. I'm anxious to see how you're going to get the container up there 😊
We love to put a smile on your face Jim! 😄 tee, tree, team, treasure, tell, tees, it’s all the time. 😉
We love a good safety croc here on the CCL home front! 🫶
We don’t plan to, but in the off chance we do you remind us! You’ll know we went off the rails if Jim starts wearing tennis shoes. 👞
Man,,,I was thinking from the beginning..I hope they haven't sold that other tractor yet. Lov ya'll ,,was so glad to see you guys pop up on yt today......lov as always from South Alabama.
You nailed it! It worked out perfect for us!
Bon travail les cousins cajuns. J’adore les chaussures de sécurité de Jim👣🥾🥾. Lydia tu as des 💪 muscles. 🔨. 👍😘👏🇫🇷
Thank you Gerard!! The best safety shoes a man could ask for!
Absolutely love how you two work together...always ready to laugh together too. Really loving this container build...it's going to be great. Hi from Northern Il.
Thank you Dave! We love to have a good time even if it’s something that isn’t meant to be fun. We make it our goal to make it that way!
Great job as usual. I hope things dry out soon, so you can move the other container.
Thank y’all!!
Interesting forklift hand gestures there buddy, ty for the lol moment.
Whatever works!😂
Can’t complain about free😊😂 The beam cleaned up well, good job ❤ Wow the turtles 😮😮 another quality video, until next time ❤
That’s the truth! Thank you for watching Robin!
You just stay at it Jim and before you know it you'll graduate Lydia's school of welding.
Hahahaha!🤣🤣
OK, this video put a little stress on this old man's heart! That was scary!!!!!! Well done! On a lighter note, I'm very familiar with the "attitude adjustment hootis". Marie has been using one on me for 48 years!😁
Honestly, the video made it so nonchalant. In reality, you know how stressful this was!!! I’m so glad we made it out unscathed!
I love your humor! Jim, now is the time to be redeemed. 😃
You got that right!
Hi y'all. You two are really awesome.keep up the great work. Just keep on being safe. 👍👍❤...
Thank you! Will do!
Always ready for some Cajun! Great way to end the week!
So awesome! Thanks for watching!
@@CajunCountryLivin wouldn’t miss it!
In the immortal words: Git-R-Done !!!!!!!!!
GITTTT-R-DONNNEE
Outstanding cuts on that I beam. Your a master with that tourch
He sure is!
Captain Crocks , you had the trailer on fire . That is okay , Allthe rest ofr the cutting and grinding was good .
Ehh a little burn never hurt. 🔥
Jim, come on by anytime. Coffee's always ready. I'd say you can relax a bit, but that's doubtful with all the Hootising tasks calling your name. 😁
I could probably be there by the time I would get all this welding done so I might just have to take you up on that! Haha.
Always a pleasure watching you guys
Thanks!!
Love watching you all. You work great together, plus you make it fun!! What a beautiful morning 😂
Thank you Eddie for joining in!🎶 Have a great night!
Great job and teamwork with the I beam. Can’t wait for the next container
Thank you Gary!!
I knew Lydia was that good, being a Southern Illinois girl! You better start making those welds better Jim!! Practice makes perfect...like Lydia!!
Awww Harold has my back! Yankees unite!!😂
Happy Memorial weekend to everyone and God Bless - keep the good stuff coming
Great job you guy's 👏. Hopefully the rain stays away for a bit to let things dry out.
Can't wait to see the next container on the concrete 🙌
Thank you John! We can’t wait to get to that point either!
Visiting Nola this weekend. Getting warm already, gonna be one hell of a July.
Awesome!! Enjoy your time!
Not a problem...that burn spot is just an anchor for a memory. Lydia, you'll be a tractor-operator Mama in no time!
I love your positive attitudes!
Thank you for watching!
Y’all are some amazing ppl! Just came across your channel and me and my wife love it. Keep up the good work guys
My favorite RUclips couple... I was just thinking I sure would love to be watching your video and one popped up.❤
A little late in the day, but still got it out for y’all! ❤️
Now there's a job well done! ...and nothing better than an "Attitude Adjustment Hootis" (can be used for all sorts of things!!! 🙂)
Nothing better than cajun ingenuity, from one cajun to another. 😁👩🦳💜
Dats right!
That tractor sure is coming in handy. Hope you get those turtles back where they belong before they eat all your fish. You two sure work well together, getting that beam in place and welded was pretty cool. Glad to see Jim had his safety crock's on😊.
It sure does! Y’all will have to make a trip back soon before it gets too hot! We are all so glad he had is safety shoes on. 🤣😅
I love your guys teamwork. This is my favorite channel on here. Just good wholesome family friendly content. Keep up the great work guys. Great video
Thank you so so much Terence. We really appreciate your comments like this. 🫶
Great job it was fun to which.
I am truly waiting to see the top container placing methods and hootis
Beautiful and hard working. What else could a man want!!
Attitude Adjustment Hootis....👌
Love the thumbnail❤️👍
Lidia showing the love for VGG.... I love it !!! Nice shirt
Thank you Chris! We love to watch his channel!
@@CajunCountryLivin I traveled 4 hours to Indianapolis a few weeks ago and finally got to meet him and Jessica , what an inspiring couple, besides Jim and yourself of course..
I love how y'all work together on everything. Pleasant discoveries are great! You had plenty of I-Beam. Thanks for the update.
Thanks so much Charles!
Another way of doing your beam would be to to cut your pipe post, attach to beam then weld some eye pads to top of beam and lift into place
U would have support of post and the straps to safely secure beam against container
And pretty sure you know this, but going to throw it out Dar! To make sure you get down to good metal and prime/paint with some Heavy Duty primer/paint. The individual brand not your box store brand.
Leaving in SW Louisiana, rust bucket capital want take long to go from bad to worst!!!! I was always taught told, “cheap is not good, and good is not cheap”!!! lol
Hi Lydia and Jim! Great to see my favorite cajuns today! Great video Lydia; nice random scenes and good music selection. Ladly is getting so big. That was a lot turtles alright, you should keep a running talley to see how many you end up reloating out of the pond. It's always fun watching you two working together and I'm really enjoying this particualr project as I've been looking forward to it very much. There always seems to be something that really hits me good and is funny. In this one, it was Lydia's comment about Jims welding as I was thinking similar thoughts at the same time 🤣 I think goat farming would be a good selection, I love little goats! They are so fun to watch as they hop and jump around. I thought Jim was selling Ol' Blue, did he change his mind? Y'all have a great week and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
So happy that you enjoyed today’s video Mr. Larry! Poor Jim is never going to live that cracked weld down😂
Jim, that's an Honor Guard march if I've ever seen one! 😂 Were you in Honor Guard? (Former Color Guard Captain here 😊)
Sadly, I was not! That’s awesome you were!
Love watching you two!
Thank you!!
We love Teddy and Jenna. But fair warning for you two…if T&J make a Hootis Hall of Fame wall before yall, then you will have to send each of us longtime subscribers a Hootis T-Shirt keep up the great work. Your daughter is growing so fast. Best wishes from Richmond, Virginia.
What about an update on squirrels ❤
Hi! We will do that in the next video!
Great work guys... So the new item added to the list... burn the rest of the wood on the trailer or replace the trailer wood? LOL
If I had to guess we will be burning the whole thing! 😂
Great job ya'll! VERY impressive!
Thank you Gary!!!
Can never have too many tractors. Nice job. Awesome teamwork!!
You got that right!
Hey Capt...i was wondering if i was the only one that was having flash backs when you were giving Ms Lydia those hand signals...i worked on a couple work over boats in the oil patch, in the late eighty's early ninety's...its was always a challenge loading and unloading things back then...when the gulf got rough...!!!
Lol! Lydia is definitely not a fan of my hand signals 😂 Sounds like you experienced some high pressure and intense hand signal situations!
Nice job guys! I am planning on doing the same type of Shop
Go for it! We love it so far!
Nice job guys
Thanks!
Great show love it keep them coming
Thanks! Will do!
@@CajunCountryLivin Great TEAM work
Goat farmin' 🤣 excellent job to the both of you! 💪
How many goats does it take to be considered a goat farmer? 4. The answer is 4. 😂😂😂
If I was located closer to you I would be glad to assist you with your welding needs......I'm a certified welder for 50 years
We are just pickin’! Jim’s been welding since he could wear a hood! Lydia went to welding school so it’s always a “competition”.
Looking good 😊
Thank you! 😊
Please Please Please use a welding hood or a faceshield when using a metabo or cutoff wheels. I've seen them shatter and end up in people's face and arms.
Also,,, turtle soup...!!!???
TNX 4 VID LOL
Turtles were too small for that!🤪🥣
I received my gifts, (fish weight contest) thank you very much....."It's A Beautiful Morning"
Awesome!! Thank you for letting us know Connie!😁 🎶🎶
Hi cajun country living👋 love you vodeos an ur work progress
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!!❤️
Yall are having too much fun🤪🤪
Always!!🎉🎉🎉
love those welding shoes
Crocn’ is rockin’
2 low croc lock 😉
Best for welding🧑🏭
You two crack me up. all I could do was chuckle the whole video. No coffee for you Jim, lol.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
My god Lidia has such beautiful everthing.
guys i am in Georgia and done tig, halacha, gas , and real stick welding 6011 lol will weld trough rust lol just need a little more heat
You’re right!! 👏👏👏
Sing it Jimbo! I see a greatest hits album in your future, or not.
Album coming winter 2024. 🤣
MINNESOTA - YAY! - I probably know them... LOL - They just got a subscriber. I see you guys were here/ Next time stop by. 😀
Awesome!! Sounds great!
Lufkin makes a tape measure that gives you both actual measurement and the half measurement on the bottom. Very handy.
I think we have one around here like that!
Where did y'all get the pallet forks on big red?
Hi! We bought them when we bought the tractor.
Check with Pacific Pines Ranch and their work with 7 shipping containers
We will have to look into them!
Ole Jimbo, man, listen, Lydia is making you look bad, man 😂!! How come it took you a lot of swings with that hammer to break that weld, and it took Lydia just a few swings, and it broke! You need to find out what Lydia is doing and do the same 😂😂😂😂! Did you see the guns that girl got, man!! You better tighten up, man 😂😂😂😂! But as always, we love y'all, and we will catch y'all next! Y'all have a safe and fun weekend 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Ya got me Cedric!!!! 😂😂 That’s why I always makes sure that I address her as “Ma’am”! I don’t want her to swing on me with those attitude adjusters!😂🤣
@@CajunCountryLivin 😂😂😂😂
She is so beautiful mostly her spirit and looks too hes so lucky does she have a sister for me.......
We are both to happy to have each other. 🫶
You both seem like my brother-in-law and sister. She is from my home city here in Burlington, VT and he is from there in Southern LA.
sure there is an I in Team ... its in the middle of the A hole
BFH still works for your hammer. Because huits starts with an H too.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yall have done some sketchy stuff but this one had me a little worried 🤣. I figured it was all going to end well though otherwise the title of the video would have been something else. Now... the real question... That looks like a serious piece of the structure for the shop so is Lydia actually gonna do the welding so we know its strong? 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry Jimbo.... couldnt resist... Still love ya, Buddy!
THATS RIGHT BODIE!!💪💪💪 Lol poor Jim is crying himself to sleep tonight. 😂
Good thing you didn't get rid of the Ford tractor yet 😜
Right!! Thank goodness!
Show me one person who doesn’t have torch and weld burns all over their trailer wood and I’ll show you a city boy with no reason for a trailer. It might be the most versatile hootis ever purchased. Y’all be safe. Glad you got the big tractor before starting this.
I agree 100%😁
👌👍
😁😁😁
I like turtles😂
And I can not lie!🤣
👍🏻👍🏻
😁😁😁
Need plasmas hootas
We might have to break it out!
jeez you two skivers (UK word for folks who avoid hard work 😉🤣) took your time with this container work... anybody would thing its been raining or anything really inconvenient like that.
Another great bit of progress and some wonderful down to earth video by good folks who don't take themselves too seriously.
Stay safe Cajuns, see you next week
Daft (uneducated) question from someone on the other side of the world, I take it theres no eating in a turtle?
My dad was from Kansas --- on the plains in north America and made Turtle soup/stew many times. They usually used soft back turtles, not snappers and box turtles like they were catching, but I have read that snappers make great eats!!
Oh yes, didn’t you notice how lazy we were just relaxing on the couch eating popcorn?😂 haha! We love y’all! Thank y’all for watching & always putting a smile on our faces!
We do cook turtle soup, but those ones are too small to cook!
Thanks for that @@sdslim6929 much appreciated
@@CajunCountryLivin turtle nugget soup 🤣🤣
Jim, I think that was a tiny bit more than a tiny bit of attitude adjustment......lol
😂😂😂😂
🔨👍👍

I must have ptsd from safety videos in shop class at high school, whenever I see someone grinding,drilling and the like with long hair blowing in the wind I see those horrific images
I could use a haircut. 😉
@@CajunCountryLivin hahaha! I think you’re hair looks just fine the way it is
Lydia, You are so gorgeous . What a LUCKY MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
😁😊😃😍🤩
❤️❤️❤️
@@CajunCountryLivin Exciting to catch ya y'all first when I was just getting on RUclips this afternoon little nap 😁!!
I was worried that beam would have popped up on Jim after cutting it. Sha that would of hurt his boys. Lucky it didn't happen .
Lydia, you were amazing, you are multi talented. Dead on driving new red.
I see old blue still there, see y'all still need it. New red for Lydia and Old blue for Jim, y'all could have a tractor race 😁. Safely Like. 🤣
Happy Thursday Cajun Family 🎉🎉
Anytime is a good time to seeing Y'all 🌟😍🤩💛💖
All good ‘till The Captain started singing😊
👍🏻👌🏻❤️🙏🏻
😁😁😁
You need a plasma cutter.
We need to break it out I guess!
Was Jim speaking Chonese? Lips where moving but no sound.
The wind was AWFUL so we had to voiceover it.😕
@@CajunCountryLivin lol.. just picking
Although it would be cool if Jim could just start speaking fluently in another language!😂
@@CajunCountryLivin like fench?
Hot day for black Teeshirts??
Yes. Yes. And yes.
please make sure these are the best welds you've ever done in your life. It looks pretty sketchy to me and I'm confused about what its for. don't stand under it.
We sure will! It’s going to be support for the containers that will be on top of this container
Hoot just saying
🎉🎉🎉
How can you live in humidity in Louisiana???it kills me...which I don't have a lady as you...
We love the heat! Snow is not for us!
