Thank you for taking the time to watch!

So true!!! ♥️🇺🇸🦅

Funny thing is I was raised on a sod farm, bailing hay, and worked for a family landscape company for 30+ years. This last two videos was like I was having flash backs lol. Now fishing off the coast of New Jersey 😁

I think alot of people want this life. And I don't blame them. Just remember. It takes a risk and a sacrifice. But it is possible!. Life under the taxation is tough. Specifically with all the inflation. Cheers all. Sending ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦

@@bigreds9188 the good life 🎣✌🏽❤️

didn't Little House on the Prairie feature voiced over reflection?

@@LilyWasHereMB I wouldn't know. Did they? However, Laura Marie Ingalls Wilder was and author. Which is my point about Erin. She has a Gift..... besides being a "Concrete Guy".

you love her too.

@@jameswulzen590 Absolutely!

Right having parents that actually talk to you and include you on the build and farming experience.

@@movinngroovin2104 полностью с вами согласен! Родители должны постоянно взаимодействовать с детьми , а не сидеть на работе пока их воспитывает какая-то тётя... Привет из России! Быть добру ☀️

😀👍👍😊

Learning by doing

As a midwestern American, I agree- we are fighting with everything we have to have Americans return to the Lord God of the bible- and His statutes. Family, Marriage between a man and woman- 2 genders, etc etc- wholesome and good. We pray Scotland does this as well. God bless.

"that you ALL as a family unit, to me, re present what made America the greatest Country on earth." -- Vincent What is it about Erin and Josh that made America the greatest country on the Earth? Is it the content of their videos; their workmanship in building a home and all the nice things that go with it? Is that what made America so great? Could it be because Erin is so pretty and/or Josh is so handsome? I've seen many of the Victoria's Secret shows on KZfaq from the 2000s. The ladies are gorgeous. Could this be why America is so great. I tried to find the Victoria's Secret shows from the 1700's, but I can't find them. I bet they weren't as beautiful back then. Anyway, be sure to let me know what it is about Erin and Josh that made America so great. Hell, maybe if Josh is a gun owner, he could be a crack shot. That would be something. Can Erin cook a blue-ribbon Apple Pie? I love it with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top.

@@evonnechi7029 The 'Christian ethos'- hard work, honesty, family- biblically traditional Father, mother, children. Children obey and are respectful , honoring their parents. Self reliance, not expecting others to carry them through in life. This does not mean they ARE born again Christians, but the biblical values do show in the ethics and ethos of their lives on the videos.

​@@bigbob3772 the world is filled with people from many different religious belief systems and those who do not follow any religions. Invariably, they all believe in, essentially, the same kind of things. The Bible is not the only source of information that people rely on. Christianity is not what made America great. It is the belief written into the Declaration of Independence, that reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It was this train of thought that made America different, which also laid the foundation for the federal and state governments of the United States, that provided the light of hope to a world shrouded in darkness. In the past few decades, that light of hope has been getting dimmer, and has now almost gone dark. What a tragedy for America -- for the world.

@@evonnechi7029 Work ethic, dedication to the family and to each other.

LOVE ELLIE!!!!!!

Capitalism is wasteful and destructive. Sorry to burst your bubble there, but look around you and the world. If you stop at the world through materialistic eyes, it's amazing what you can see.

@@shaneroper5470 socialism Is what Hitler and Stalin introduced in Germany 🇩🇪 and Russia before we went over there and kick their hind ends for killing 6 1/2 million Jews! Socialism is the same damn thing is communism! It’s evil it’s unjust and it’s only for dictatorship! Capitalism is anyone can work hard and make something of themselves, you all twisted up there fella! You better get your priorities straight cause you don’t know what you talking about

Dammit Joe, why did your wife die? What sickness did she have? Sure am sorry to hear that.

@@evonnechi7029she had breast cancer that we thought she had beat,, it matestisized to her bones,lungs and brain.

@@joenewton2816 sorry to hear that her breast cancer came back with a vengeance.

So sorry Joe. Blessings to you! 🙏🙏🙏Laura

And long sleeve shirts.

@@notso1973 and cover-alls, a goalie helmet, a scuba tank and a umbrella.

what time stamp on video was this I missed? thanks in advance

"your energy is contagious" -- Buck No it's not. I didn't get any additional energy watching their video. In fact, I felt a bit drained watching them do all that damn work.

I thought the same as I watched Ellie choosing the pavers! It's been so wonderful to watch her grow. She's a special little soul. And I'm sure you're quite proud of the boys as well you should be. Your videos are a treat to watch!

Do you mean a stress crack joint, or control joint?? Different than expansion joint. Expansion joint = just what it says, concrete expands in hot weather than contracts in the cold...ever see a road buckle up when it's really hot....not enough expansion joints, or something called "air entrainment" that is added to the concrete mix. Air entrainment creates tiny, tiny bubbles in the concrete mix...when it gets really hot the solid concrete expands and the bubbles fill in, than come back again when cool...it is determined by % in the mix design and the concrete company determines that in their mix design. Expansion joints also help for expansion and are the entire depth of the concrete. I wouldn't worry about expansion joint for that sidewalk, as the concrete mix design is for their climate. And now with the stone on top I wouldn't worry about control joints either. Any cracks that develope will be covered by the stone

@@markspitzok3064 My concern was if the tree roots were to heave the concrete slab up as the trees grow. Better to lose just one section cleanly than have a nasty fracture running across. So I guess I was actually thinking of a stress crack joint rather than an expansion.

@@michiganengineer8621 yes, stress crack is what I thought you meant. The stone tiles will cover any cracks that develope and if the reinforcement wire is in correctly it won't seperate, the tree root will lift the slab up evenly, maybe 1/2" over 10 years. I understand your concern and your right about tree roots messing up concrete...but I think if reinforced properly walk should be good for 15 years, except for some of the stone tiles coming loose over time.

My concern would be snow removal . It does snow in WV

@@mariowickel456 the snow is what I’m thinking as I watch. I would have left it flat so it’s easier to shovel and salt.

We want the walkway to match the foundation and didn’t like the look of mixing faux stone with real stone. For sure more work, but it’ll be worth it in the end to have a natural look

I also love blue stone set in sand…

Hands down stamped concrete would be my choice.

Had walkway like this before and it was very slick and high maintenance hope u don't regret leaving it simple and gripping
