With the root cellar finished, we start building up our house pad until the snow comes. We also answer all of the questions; like why are we hauling in all this material ourselves?

You are one of my favourite channels to watch. The two of you make a good team. I cannot wait for your next episode every week. Keep it up!!😊

@OFFGRID_Trucker 6 месяцев назад

Nice unloading setup.. but I still say go rent a 6yd dump trailer. No shovels or sweeping it out.. just fill.. dump and go. BIG time saver. I had one. LOVED IT. Maybe 2 yds on your trailer VS. 6.. Go get 'er done Jacob.. Or maybe hire the front loader to follow you home. LOL..

Polymer stabilization can assist with too much clay. Worked with it in 2006-7 making compressed earth blocks...stabilized quite well with 8% cement.

After moving hundreds of tons of dirt in and out of my trailer by hand, investing in a dump trailer was the greatest decision of my life. You will save hundreds of hours and your back will thank you a million times over. Do it, you won't regret it.

@SpaceForce2019 6 месяцев назад

I think the reason people raised the ideas of a dump trailer or having the soil delivered, is due to their desire to help you. Your explanation is understandable. I had the same thoughts to help, but you should know it comes from people who care and want to make your life easier. Keep up the great work, and stay safe!

@tylerbarrett6652 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for going over the numbers with us. I knew there HAD to be a cost savings in going to get this yourselves, but I didn't realize how big that savings was. I know that where I am it makes sense just to have a BIG dump truck load - the fee for delivery is MUCH smaller so it makes sense. You ARE right though... time could really be the deciding factor. I also had questions about the sand and gravel you were getting... and you answered those as well. So how much elevation are you trying to get with this house pad? Did you calculate out how many cubic feet of fill you needed? Just curious. I love to watch your progress... I love what you are doing... and I thank you for sharing this journey of yours with us.

@aboulderlifeoffgrid 6 месяцев назад

We have to go up about 16 inches, and the slab will be 1700 square feet. So the area that has to come up will be around 1900 to 2000 square feet. Thanks 🙂

Thank you for sharing the costs and why...we are watching on the TV again... digging ditches and finding more rocks is par for the course....a boulder life, it is the way of life....get the rocks out of the way is definitely the trick... Nat does a great job with the narrating..WOW...so fun in the snow...what a great job. Thanks for sharing

@Chr.U.Cas1622 6 месяцев назад

Please don't always overload the front bucket of your backhoe. Overstraining/overstressing equipment (especially if done constantly) definitely don't pays off, on the contrary. Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.

@N5XHIworkshop 6 месяцев назад

How much is it saving you to haul the dirt load yourself?

@N5XHIworkshop 6 месяцев назад

Should have watched a little farther into the video.

@Step-n-Wolf 6 месяцев назад

Had 6 inches of snow at my place a couple days ago per my neighbor. Still trying to get my CONEX delivered. Called Perkins about some gravel. Basically half the cost is the gravel and half is delivery. 24 tons delivered for about $300 (delivery only, not including the gravel) and that is a 20 mile one way. Is 7 trips and all that backhoe time worth it? Great job guys!

@dionh70 6 месяцев назад

Dude, he clearly and methodically ran through the cost and time breakdown, and it's absolutely plain to see that doing it himself is the more cost-effective choice.

@odelvarsavsky5827 6 месяцев назад

nataly I have a question why not double the amount of capacity by making a higher frame for the trailer and then you will save the number of times you have to travel

@phillipharris6687 6 месяцев назад

They have to be careful so not to over load the trailer

@SJC49 6 месяцев назад

@johnshaw4140 6 месяцев назад

Why didn't you just get a couple of truck loads delivered , you say that you saved hundreds , but did you factor-in the cost of fuel in your pick-up , the cost of trailer tyres and diesel for the backhoe , plus the days you took to do it ?

@aboulderlifeoffgrid 6 месяцев назад

Yup. I talked about all of that.

@billm5433 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us about the loads of stuff! You got some of the snow from the same storm that dumped 4-5’ in Colorado. You will be out clearing the snow from the solar panels when it stops snowing. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🫡
