Welcome to Tick Creek Ranch. This channel
was created to show the daily ins and outs of
life on a small ranch. We are a family of eight,
our lifestyle has taken us from the deserts of
Idaho to the wilds of Alaska and back to the
lower 48. We followed our dreams and finally
settled in the Ozark's of Missouri. We have
owned and operated our own businesses. over
the years, ranging from carpentry and
excavation to commercial and residential landscape. The children and ourselves have
developed a passion for learning new skills
which include leather work, welding and
fabricating, carpentry, plumbing, electrical,
roofing, painting, equipment operation, timber
sawing, blacksmithing, horseshoeing, flatwork
and concrete, timber framing, cattle ranching,
horse training, and many more. Please follow
along on this journey as we build our new
home and delve into the ways of regenerative
ranching. So stick around and watch us create
our dream using old world construction
techniques and style reminiscent of an era
gone by. Thank you and enjoy the journey.

Just stumbled on your channel, and mad respect to you and your family, especially to your pop. Men like him built this country and deserve so much respect. I wasn't raised in an environment like this, and I'm trying my best to be as self sufficient as possible. I'm trying my best to raise my daughters with family values and hard work ethics. Greeting from North Carolina.

Alright! Welcome and thanks for the support. No matter your skill level it sounds like you possess the most important thing, motivation. We all had to start somewhere, plus learning and trying new things is the best part of this lifestyle. It’s very rewarding. Just keep after it! Thanks again Alfred

Great idea to use the cordless blower to blast the concrete block dust away from you while you’re cutting them!

He’s good at everything:) he laid all that block and just had one of the kids hodding for him. Pretty good for almost 70 I’d say

Great video. So curious why blocks over a poured wall? An as a HVAC guy I would recommend to heat that crawl space. It will help keep things dry an also make that floor fell more comfortable.

Block on a poured footing is pretty common around here especially when you don’t own all the form boards and ties. I think he’s going to do a heated crawler at this point. I prefer them. It’s a common practice in Alaska and seems to be the best option.
