The hidden can makes a return!!

Your family must be so excited for a new home. You guys deserve it for all the work you do.

Hahaha I busted out laughing at the rubber mat sale That was good and it probably will sell hahah

I could not be more excited to see your new house go up. You have worked so hard doing farming, KZfaq and selling merch to be able to make your dream come true. Awesome!

Good call on sticking with the 9' basement. You will appreciate having it!

I find myself smiling ear to ear watching your video. Chuckled when you found that pop.

Your dad has some skill with that skid steer rolling up the rubber. I thought you were going for a ride there for a second when you went to hold it down haha

Had a great laugh when you found the can of pop! Well done, love those “Easter Eggs” in your videos.

Nothing like a steamy wagon full, first thing in the morning!!!

super upgrade on barn,, you're so kind to your animals,,,A 9" foot ceiling is a must for the basketball court for kids...

Smart move with chiseling the concert. Thinking outside of the box.

The things you do for the comfort and safety of the herd. Merry Christmas to all of you..

Glad you have time to fix the little things.

I will never stop loving when a soda shows up in your vids. No matter how dumb the context is, sometimes the dumber the better.

I have Anti fatigue matts in front of my kitchen sink and stove. I bet your ladies like that new rubber just as much. The foundation is starting to look really good, pouring the footings is exciting as there is no where to to go but up after that.

A lot of work. Well done.

I believe the mat inspectors were pleased with the job. Yall be safe

You farmers work hard! We all benefit from your hard work. Thankyou!

Always looking after the herd. The new mat looks good. Hopefully the rock removal in the new basement doesn't put you to far behind with the building of the new house. I like the cows with entirely white heads. Very cool. Stay safe

Oh yes I remember as a boy visiting my grandmother down in mountain Grove Missouri those cold and Chrisp mornings and helping with the chores around her farm Eric thank you so much for all that you do happy holidays to you and yours stay safe from Missouri Jeremy

You two did a great job of rolling that rubber flooring. And “No, thanks”. Don’t want any of it, but thanks for the offer. Love your videos!

I love seeing the cows' curiosity and friendliness 🙂

Yes, $5 a square, great Christmas present😜. Then new rubber mat looks really good quality , dry cows say thank you. Basement dig will be done in no time now.

Years ago had a odd job: cutting a hundred steel wall truck tractor tires into smaller pieces and removing them from their rims. Had the same power tools as you, plus more, and had the same issues where none worked ideally. In the end I found that using an extendable bypass lopper to be the fastest & easiest way to get the tire off the rim and cut the rubber into small pieces. It was faster. There was no smoke. No tools vibrating like crazy. and overheating Just snip snip snip. The steal in your rubber is thicker so it would probably be the end of the loppers for you. Something to consider in the future.

Lots of improvements over there 😊 happy cows!

Seems like the work never ends.

You're like a kid in a candy store about the house. Wishing you all the best. Merry Christmas to you and all your family. God Bless.!!

Love how the cows have to go inspect and check out the work after it's all done.

Great awesome video Eric

Grate video Eric the house is going along nice .

The digging on the basement was pretty difficult because of the rocks, but they are getting it there. The new rubber matting you and your dad put in the dry cow barn was tough to do, but you got it done. I'm sure the cows are going to benefit from that process. Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend.

Another great video Eric. Nice to see progress on your basement dig. Smart move having 9’ walls in your basement & presumably in the entire home build. Good to see you using safety equipment ie ear plugs, face shield etc. You’re so fortunate to be able to work with your dad.

A GOOD START is half the battle. -Plato

Deeper is always better for a basement. Looking good!

😂😂 that selling the rubber to the fans is truly funny

9 ft ceiling just installed... looks way roomier... don't think u gonna regret it even tho extra cost

I'll be ordering it short and fill the ends if I ever buy that mat. Great content

I have used a circular saw with a crosscut blade. The wires need to be small for the wood blade to nip them. Need someone pulling the cut off piece away so the blade doesn’t bind. Not an easy job!

What's it like working with your dad every day? I doubt if my dad and I could cooperatively work on something like the two of you do. Also, that rock needed some TNT.

It's all coming together. Really great,gonna be an interesting build can't wait.

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!

Going with the deeper basement means great usable space in the future for a family room or extra bedrooms. Good idea Eric.Do you still want to sell the rubber in one foot pieces after seeing how easy it is to cut lol. Great video as usual, thanks till next time.

I'm always astonished about how much work there is to be running a dairy farm and how many skills you have to have to do. Good video editing and commentary as well. Best wishes and keep up the good work.

I love the hidden Dr. Pepper! Wonder how long it had been under that old rubber mat??? 🤣🤣

All the "inspectors" giving their seal of approval after the rubber install....

Checkout gable belting next time. Great guys there.

I thought I seen a dew in the basement , look cold still ?? Hope an pray you and family have a blessed and a Merry Christmas, keep Christ in Christmas

That's some serious rubber matting. I can believe it's extremely heavy. Good job.

Helped a friend of the family do this when I was young, its hard and dirty work! We wore out so many drills drilling new holes to fix the new rubber to the floor.

an awesome vide Eric and dad. Really love the way you 2 work together. Thank you guys

For attracting rubber you put a good glue clamp on it.

You're too funny with them soda cans 🤣

Classic with the soda XD

Well done guy's

Wishing you the best on your new Home and Merry Christmas That did not look like a bottle of milk under that mat to me :)

Another great video 👍🏼

Them conveyor belts/ anti fatigue mats cut pretty decent with a demolition saw, but just like the grinder, a smokey mess.

business mindset always💰💰💰

Congratulations on your new home in the future , enjoy , have fun , stay safe !

Thanks for the video Eric! Great care for your family and your herd! Well done!

i dont know why i like your stupid soda gags so much. dont stop eric.

I worked in a rubber conveyor plant where we made that type of belt. We cut them with a 14 inch concrete saw.

Jigsaw with a metal blade works wonders with rubber.

May the Joy of the Holidays be with you and your family.....

I think the Ladies approve of the new floor to

It would be so hard for me not to get super attached to the cows lol, they were hilarious when you were explaining the rubber mat situation.

if you hang a piece of the old rubber belting in your new house ill buy a few feet to remember it by as well!

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year 🎉! God bless you and your family Eric.

great video eric great job you and dad god bless

Not sure when this was filmed, but pretty sure the forecast for that area is cold cold and colder. I would think that holding on the concrete might be a good idea.

I remember you asking HVAC for the new house. Fan/duct system with 2 stage blower and sealed and insulated ducts has advantages of lower cost, ease of use and install. 👍

We use a demo saw to cut that rubber. Its not fun but its the best way we found

You and your soda, Eric 😆😆😆

There's always something to do on the dairy besides feed the cows and milking the cows. Nice work!

Great video! Thank you for sharing. It was a beautiful morning on the farm. And looks aren’t everything I know but the new mixer tractor combo looks great!!

I learn many things from you, and I value your health and safety. Your brother Mohammed is from Libya.

You could cut the decent parts of the mat into squares and use it on your silage pit.

Roll it up, put it in a tube, hit with NOS, you have a rocket motor, cows in space!

Enjoyed video. Y’all always making it better for cows. Enjoyed

12:36 might be my favorite moment ever on the channel

If you haven’t already I would suggest heated basement floors. Help heat the house and keep some of the mold n mildew away

You can buy special rescue angle grinder cutting discs that might be good for cutting mats in future. They are designed to cut everything. Glass, wood, metal, concrete rubber. Just saw them in shop the other day,

😂The ladies’ Dr. Pepper stash has been discovered . . . AGAIN !!!🤣

I now appreciate how easy grass feed farming is compared to barn based. So many extra jobs.

Thanks again for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

metal cutting circular saw blade may have cut thru that pad. And next time when you have overlap, raise up the pad about 5 feet from the overlapped end to make that end snug, nail that end down, then have the skid steer push out the rest of the pad.

Love that Dr.Pepper 😂😅.

Great video as always. What kind of barn was the heifer barn on the other farm used for? You don't see many 2 story block buildings around. Just wondered if you might know.

thank you

After your house is built over your basement, you may want to have it tested for radon, since you have all of that rock around.

Could anyone else smell the rubber burning when Eric was using the angle grinder on it?

Nine foot high basement? What are you doing down there. A. Playing basketball. B. Repairing equipment, or C.new heffer barn. I cut old tires using carbide tip blade in circular saw.

Do you seeing any difference between injecting vs spreading manure? Do different crops respond better to injecting vs spreading?

Think those were more like mountain tops than rocks! We have the same blue rocks here harder than cement!

Note: Cows have the same emotional intelligence as dogs. The two cows that wanted to talk to you when you were explaining/showing the old rubber mats were doing the friend-or-foe test. They like to be acknowledged ;)

Our neighbor has rubber mates just like what you have they replace them every two or three years gets all torn up slits and cracks just like some of the gates all bent out of shape replaced. Can’t wait to see the house being start to finish . Love Diet Coke and milk chocolate.

Concrete cutoff saw with an abrasive blade not diamond. That’s how you cut those belts.

Great vídeo Eric.

Love ya work ol mate. Always great videos and your work ethic is fantastic. Keep up the great work

I hate all those rocks in the basement; and, the Dr Pepper stones in the barn! Oh well. 😂
