I remember growing up financially poor in the Caribbean but enriched with natural beauty and Earth's endless supply of amazing fruits, vegetables and protein. These videos remind me of those easier times.

@Pierrot001 10 лет назад

Best videos on You Tube. I've learned more from Pa Mac, who never utters a word, than from all my school teachers combined!

@brandonmehrabi268 5 лет назад

Back when a farmer didn't or couldn't run to the hardware store and didn't have the money either. Still lots of farmers like that too. I love the way you use what you have for free from nature effectively as well as the comedy such as needing to get a "specialized tool" for sand lol awesome!

@farmhandscompanion 5 лет назад

Thank you for watchin', Brandon

@sunnypatchfarm 10 лет назад

I don't mind waiting awhile for new videos when they are produced so well like these. bravo bravo!! I am sure it is just as hard to make such quality videos as the work you are filming is hard

@Azpilos 8 лет назад

This idea gave me the motivation to build my own crushed stone border using materials lying around vs buying pavers from the landscape supply store. RU-vid working at its best!

@RedOrion1985 10 лет назад

Im really enjoying the series. You show a lot of practicality in the way you build. Not to mention you do it at low costs. I find your show as a great learning tool for the less knowledgeable...like myself. Post more...and more often....please :)

@olddawgdreaming5715 4 года назад

That’ll work. Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@marciajenkins819 7 лет назад

Your videos are so entertaining and informative. I really enjoy watching each one. The music is a perfect accompaniment.

@farmhandscompanion 7 лет назад

Thank you so much, Marcia; and for watchin' each one! Speakin' of the FHC music...just wanted everybody to know it'll all be available for sale on iTunes this Friday, March 17th (and several other online music stores in weeks to come). I'll have links for the new album "Homemade-Music from The Farm Hand's Companion Show" here at www.farmhandscompanion.com/the_farm_hands_companion_show/the_music_of_the_farm_hands_companion_show.html in a few days.

@thewindhowler 10 лет назад

Our family really enjoys your videos. And we thank ya for the time and entertaining detail you put into them, as well as the hard work they represent. We patiently await the next installment.

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Thank you so much, thewindhowler! ...and to everyone else, too, for the kind words about the show.

@SSLFamilyDad 10 лет назад

I cannot wait to see the next step in this project, keep up the good work my friend!

@Naoma09 10 лет назад

I was so glad to see this today - I have been waiting for this :) My Hubby thought it was pretty interesting and when we get started building he is going to re-watch so we can build like this. Thanks!

@lawrencehp1 10 лет назад

Nice job Pa Mac. Its nice to see you make the most of your available materials.

@maxdecphoenix 10 лет назад

your comment on the compacted dirt floors reminded me of how the English used to have 'clog' parties when a new smith's forge/outbuilding went up. They would line the floor in clay, and all the renters would go there and dance/walk around all day and work it down flat and compact.

@citycollective 10 лет назад

Thanks for all the old time how to. My grandfather made a small farm in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, in the late 1940s. Using his narrow logs for upright cabin construction and dabbling in everything. Wish I had a chance to learn from him. Learning the basics in making do is quite an exotic idea anymore. With all the youtube how to videos, the basic frontier how to is rare or completely absent. I want to do the same kind of thing in my neck of the woods here on the Nor Cal coast. Again, thanks for documenting the work you do.

@2mnxffrddfghjbbvcdfh6644bcddcv 4 года назад

Great video, nice to add humor

@nereidapr1 10 лет назад

Great video. It took me back when here where I live was a farm and my grandma would go and get some eggs or pigeon peas to cook. She would sit me in the floor and asked me if I would help her to open the pod and get the peas out. I really felt big helping. When I grew up, grandma told me that that was the only way to control me, putting me to work. lol I miss those days. Harvesting

@UWCcyberwolf 10 лет назад

I don't know why I find this so extremely interesting

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Hey Garrus! I said that very same thing. I actually say that pretty often, now that I'm thinkin' about it. Thanks for watchin, Garrus

@51sicboy 10 лет назад

Glad you're back to posting videos. I thoroughly enjoy what you do. Can't wait for more.

@evankeller4253 10 лет назад

Glad to have another FHC video, keep them coming

@CascadeGriz 9 лет назад

So I'm getting information and some humor, makes you a good teacher. I like the videos!

@VideosbyCharlie3 10 лет назад

Your videos are the best thing I've seen on youtube, honestly. I hope one day I can achieve the patience, commitment, and humor that you have shown. Keep the videos coming! But of course... take your time. Cheers.

@pierreb03038 10 лет назад

Nice to see you back! I always enjoy and learn from your projects. Thanks.

@Blaircrest 10 лет назад

Very much enjoying the series. To lay that floor here in the north I would first have to put in drainage and gravel to keep it from frost heaving. But I am now thinking about it for my new sugar house.

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Hey there, Blaircrest, So glad you're enjoyin the show. You might have a point about that gravel for you cold weather folk. Not everybody can be a Southerner, I guess; somebody's gotta keep the grass mowed up there in the summertime! But on that sugar house thing, I might can save you some trouble; consider lettin' your wife stay in the house with you. Mine does, and it kept me from having to build a whole separate dwellin'. Thanks so much for watchin', Blaircrest!

@jasonnotary2605 9 лет назад

I really enjoyed watching your videos (wish there were more). They are informative and great videos with it's own kind of humor. A+

@blackknight9156 2 года назад

I subscribed simply because of that intro

@newbiegardener 10 лет назад

Love you videos! They make me and my heart smile. We have a small farm in west TN, just north of Milan, that is our future homestead. You give me hope that soon we will be living and working the same as you. God bless you!

@knivesandtrucks 10 лет назад

Love you videos Pa Mac!

@outdoorcountryboyforlife6511 9 лет назад

I sure like that rock floor. Like you I have plenty of rocks. we're going to build our fireplace out of them and now Ill do my patio and walk ways. thanks again,, p.s. we got to get you taking on these videos

@JeffDeWitt 10 лет назад

Very nicely done and informative. I really like the stone floor idea and I've got LOTS of rocks in my yard, I'm going to give it a try for a walkway. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the next episode.

@jceast76 10 лет назад

So glad to see a new video! Gonna build a pole barn this summer, thanks for the inspiration!

@jimdandy87 10 лет назад

Cracking up @ 42 second mark. I have rocks like that and I do that all the time.

@dminor214 10 лет назад

new videos please! i can only watch the same videos so many times. love them!

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Workin' feverishly on it, there, dminor214! I appreciate you watchin'

@markdacosta4577 7 лет назад

wow that floor is amazing

@auntynette7503 10 лет назад

Glad to see you back :) Life gets pretty busy sometimes. Love your flooring! I want to do that when I build on my other property. This place doesn't have any (boring). The other place, LOTS of rock! I'm looking at a combination stone/cob/rammed earth/timber for the house and any of the different types and/or combinations for the other buildings/barns/shelters/workshops. Yes...... that's a heck of a lot of rocks, dirt, timber and especially bending! Use what you've got is what we always say, not rush to the nearest town on a spending spree. Love the floor Pa, looking forward to the next vids. Keep smiling :)

@beldegrom 10 лет назад

Thanks, just what I needed. We have recently bought a house and man, we have sooo much stones! I am saving them on a huge pile for a use just like this.

@Shewolfen 2 года назад

those uneven stones look hazardous to walk on all the time. I think I would be tripping . An idea - after laying the stone and sand how about laying large flat boards on top and given a good walking and tamping down to even out all the stone more flat, before the mortar goes in?

@craigbennett47 3 года назад

I got land that grows rocks like yours does. Been thinking of making a rock floor for the shed.

@IanCoreyFe 10 лет назад

Great to see you back! I sure have missed you. Thanks for the stone floor knowledge.

@IanCoreyFe 10 лет назад

Also, that shot at 7:53 sure makes it look like you've started on more than the ground floor.

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Ian Corey You got a good eye, there, Ian! And boy am I itchin' to show yall what's up there, and how it got there.

@Grizzydan 10 лет назад

I've gone and gathered tons of river rock and various other large boulders over the years but I have no rocks here but for those I've brought and the massive granite boulders larger than my truck that are everywhere but near my home. I see both sides of the coin you have. Rocks like that are both a blessing and a curse. River rocks don't make for good flooring.

@shanehartley1957 10 лет назад

Glad to see you back, I've been waiting for this. Nice job

@nancygorman 10 лет назад

this is more exciting than going to a rock concert!

@cheyanneskye 10 лет назад

@MrDieselmanblue 10 лет назад

@RentersHomestead 10 лет назад

@sugarsnapmama9131 10 лет назад

Genius! Love it!

@JandjacresNet 10 лет назад

What a great video. No rocks to speak of on our property. Plenty of sweet gum brooms however! Keep up the pace and you'll be dancing on that floor in no time!

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Thanks as always for watchin', J&J Acres. And do keep up the good work with your videos! Yours, Pa Mac

@JandjacresNet 10 лет назад

Thank you kindly Sir :-) We will do our best!

@莊會文 10 лет назад

Outstanding video!

@MrMunchiemo 9 лет назад

That is just to cool!!!!!

@cnypilot 10 лет назад

Brilliant Idea. Would make a great floor for an Earthen Cob home. Plenty of sunlight to beat down on it, store heat for nighttime. :) There is quite a bit of granite rocks around this mountain top as well.

@TheJaneo7 10 лет назад

Btw. Your videos are super, and super helpful!

@cypherpunksteve4959 5 лет назад

@billpurvis4596 10 лет назад

Lol always entertaining. But more than that educational! I'm only 28 an most men my age would rather buy quikrete. I like your way better

@robinw7985 6 лет назад

Awesome !

@LandersWorkshop 10 лет назад

Very helpful!

@AeroSport103 10 лет назад

Outstanding video! I couldn't help myself. I had to subscribe!

@ATaylor369 10 лет назад

Nice Floor! I have no rocks on my land but i have access to a few million tons of broken brick and am trying to find a good use for them.

@freerangefarmhouse9196 2 года назад

I see these log posts are atop stones or cast piers. Others you’ve done were buried. I’m in Maine with plenty of cedars I was going to shou sugi ban and bury. Curious your feedback - looking to have it last 50ish yrs

@stevenr8606 3 года назад

Oh, and I forgot to tell yah 'bout the 🐍's, too. 😱

@MyGreybush 10 лет назад

Hey pa Mac any new updates for the pole barn been waiting anxiously for part 4

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Workin' to get it out as soon as possible! Thanks for waitin' and askin'

@JohnEBgood3000 10 лет назад

I'm hooked. Did the get to finnish the floor yet?

@robinw7985 6 лет назад

How did this hold up ? I noticed this is an old video, so I'm just curious on how it looks now since I'm so rich when it comes to rock's ! ? I'm playing with the idea of a cord house with a natural rock floor in my offgrid cabin.!

@EverybodyLovesAnto 10 лет назад

really wish you would put up more videos , maybe 1 a week ? :D :D

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

One a week sounds good to me, Anthony. I don't imagine I'd ever run out of material. The problem is with all the editing and production required for that, there'd be no time to actually go out and do anything worth filmin'; and I don't think anybody would want to watch a movie of me sittin' here editing. Most of the time it resembles as much activity as moss growin on a tree. You never know, though; maybe things'll pick up a little. Thanks for your patience, Anthony!

@chrishall-fc6fp 10 лет назад

great video . I look forward to more. when God gives you lemons make lemonade right ?

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

I was thinkin of the sow's ear and the silk purse thing, but yes, lemonade'll do right nice, too!

@chrishall-fc6fp 10 лет назад

I like your idea of using those rocks for your shop floor.keep the videos coming.

@TheJaneo7 10 лет назад

I noticed that you did not use a vapor barrier. I am planning to do the same floor in a barn in Maine. Does it matter in a covered worksop?

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Hey there, Jane, Perhaps there are others out there who'll respond to this comment and can advise you better (especially on those extreme cold regions up there where you are), but I'll tell you this: I put no vapor barrier down in the workshop, and upon occasions of extreme temperature fluctuations, it sweats something fierce. Although I'd rather it not, it doesn't bother me that much (and does make the rocks look prettier for that short while). A vapor barrier "might" have cut down on some of that sweatin' but since there's no insulation in my workshop except for the thickness of 1" board walls, extreme fluctuation in air temps would still cause condensation (on metal tools as well). Thanks for watchin', Jane!

@nathandean1687 10 лет назад

if the rocks show up as rust then u can heat them up 4 thier iron content.

@nathandean1687 10 лет назад

if u could, but probably wont do it to cut down the minute intro. it takes up lot of space where u could have more valuable info in?

@san379 7 лет назад

MY WOODSHED USES OLD BROKEN PATIO STONES FOR THE FLOOR.. JUST DRY LAID.. NO MORTAR.. THERES NO ROCKS IN MY LAND... PURE SAND

@cjennmom 7 лет назад

Just a basic question - what kind of rock are they? The ones in my area are round, oval, just not a regular shape and darker than that.

@farmhandscompanion 7 лет назад

The rocks in my area are square, rectangular, not a regular shape and lighter than yours. Thanks for watchin', cjennmom!

@chrisis9030 7 лет назад

+farmhandscompanion Why thanks for pointing that one out, I was at a loss too ;-). The rocks in my area are so tiny a gust of wind will blow them around, somewhat irregular in shape and alltogether yellowish in colour. I live near the coast.

@cjennmom 7 лет назад

...I was actually thinking along the lines of sandstone etc. It obviously isn't slate or chalk or granite, so what type of rock is in your area?

@chrisis9030 7 лет назад

+cjennmom I was thinking along the lines you specify, but our host chooses to neglect that and reply in a "funny" way, hence my reaction. From the look of it my guess is it's some sort of sandstone, probably deposited by a river or an ancient inland sea. But please don't take my word for it...

@robinw7985 6 лет назад

I'd say slate .

@СергейЖуган-ц6ж 4 года назад

после дождика такое мощение расползется так как нет песчаной подстилки для отвода излишков воды

@UWCcyberwolf 10 лет назад

I think the floor you are building is known as flag stones.

@LandersWorkshop 10 лет назад

I wonder if folks use them for inside their cabins? I know I would for the fireplace area...

@jeanarcouette2897 7 лет назад

Wouldn't it have been easier to just set all the rocks then bash them into place with a 2 by 4 and a 3lb mallet?

@farmhandscompanion 7 лет назад

Nope. That ol' ground's too hard for that, I do believe.

@BlueGamerDude 6 лет назад

no weedcontroll needed under the floor?

@farmhandscompanion 6 лет назад

None at all, BlueGamer Dude. Even left dirt, a shed with a roof on it will eventually be void of all grass.

@BlueGamerDude 6 лет назад

farmhandscompanion oh true! No sunlight or rain can reach

@nancygorman 10 лет назад

so, can ya put windows in this barn and live in it?

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

I know I could, Nancy! And probably even without the windows.

@nancygorman 10 лет назад

farmhandscompanion and your music is awesome too... CD any time soon?

@cassianyhvh7220 8 лет назад

I miss your channel. You are too talented to not put more content out, lessin' you don't have the spare time that is.

@farmhandscompanion 7 лет назад

Thank you, Cassian. Don't know about the talented part, but spare time is hard to find around here. (Nevertheless, the next episode is only days away I hope.)

@balthizarlucienclan 10 лет назад

I have finally recorded my recommendation for your channel and posted it! I figured I would share the link with you so you could see it Pa Mac :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kbzzPxk6fTs.html

@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад

Well, Frank, I don't believe I could hire a promotion that nice. You're far and a way too kind, my friend! Sincerely, Pa Mac

@TheWoollyMammoth 10 лет назад

Good videos but sorry about the format. I will continue to watch for an improved format for a little but if not Sorry...

@TheWoollyMammoth 10 лет назад

I have to admit the picture and caption format has gotten old for me...can't keep watching it sorry. Maybe some real videos with talking demo and instruction.
