The Race is ON - with our builder due to arrive in just a few days, we kick into HIGH GEAR to get ALL the walls done in the basement.
When we put together a wall with TWO DOORWAYS in it, we realize it's TOO HEAVY to lift, and the tractor simply will not work. With our lives on the line, we engineer a few ideas to get it UP!
But WHAT will our builder say about our work?
PLUS - a BIG channel announcement! This channel will transition from What The Farm Girl (WTFarm Girl) to "This Life We Live", to be more inclusive of the topics covered and family involved with the work!

Welcome to This Life We Live ( This 1 Life We Live ) formerly the WTFarm Girl channel.
Subscribe and follow along as we build our DREAM HOME after 10 long years of saving and waiting! It's a barndominium house plan with a shed style roof. It's a barndominium hybrid, so it's stick-built and on a basement because here in Michigan we get a LOT of tornadoes!
We'd LOVE to build it fully from the ground up, but sadly our local township only allowed us TWO YEARS to fully complete our home, so it's a race against time to try to get everything done BOTH with professional help AND on our own!
Building half of it on our own allows us a MASSIVE savings with our budget and makes this unique home design actually affordable!
We started with a low cost floor plan, to make this an affordable barndominium and learned how to save money on a house build.
We have some fantastic ways to save money on a new house and easy DIY home design tips!
This is going to be the coolest house on RU-vid by the time it's complete!
If you have suggestions or ideas, we'd love to hear them!

Mighty job Suzanne , Erik and Earen, very well done, thats heavy going, and Thank You🙏🙏👍😎

@tmwinkler Месяц назад

You could have used a few 2x4s on the floor to act as an anchor between that established outside wall and the new all. But you guys got it done! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

2 years ago I I began a 2nd channel that I mainly use to video things I have for sale on Craigslist, Ebay and Facebook Marketplace.

@bobbolieu9013 Месяц назад

It may not seem like it right now, but this is being a smooth transition. I can tell that you have put a lot of thought into these projects. Great work you all.

@williamwright8286 Месяц назад

I'll have to check them both because I like the farming also.

@sodbuster518able Месяц назад

Suzanne back when I was a late teenager in the farm,my father and uncle started to rebuild a barn that was originally a 2 story 6 separate total rooms for a chicken barn . But in summer of 78 just after it was 80%full of hay some no good punk's in the area lit the barn on fire 🔥.The rebuild was going to be a full length open barn where you could back in from one end with a load of hay start from the back and work fwd .A carpenter crew started building the back end wall including the peak gable end . Just like you guys trying to man power lift the wall up and at the critical balance point the wall was to top heavy and the pivot nails let go and gravity took over and wall kicked out at bottom almost crushed a few guys and dropped 20 ft down off the back end of barn.an auto body teacher that helped us in the summer injured his wrist from the sudden unexpected fall . Also the punk teens opened up the valve on the milk bulk tank,threw open files into the milk room floor, sprayed paint cans all over milk equipment and milk tank,walls .my brother still has that same wall clock in his milk room today that has the remnant paint over spray.Then the gang of punk's went and burned a house down after all of that.

@AgTalkInTheRaw Месяц назад

its amazing how life changes and channels change. this channel has changed in a positive way and I will sub to the new channel just to see the evolution. hope this all works out the way you planned.

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

I think it will, so far the new channel is attracting a lot of new faces from outside of here. Honestly I think uploading 2x a day is really what's helping ;) I might get 3 views a month of some of these videos before the switch. I was the first female farming channel for better and for worse. Interesting to see it launched a second round now that there are so many new voices in the mix. You should do it with your original videos ;D I know you've got a STACK! We can re-live all those fun moments with the guy across the river, lol!

@BigBear-qr4zn Месяц назад

There's a guy that invented something to stand up his walls. He kept loosing his help. So he made some wich is really cool . Your home is coming together. 👍🏽

@billyshumate853 Месяц назад

Great video and good job 💪💪 Suzanne you could run a couple of boards from the other wall to act like a brace to keep the bottom from sliding. Take care and have a blessed and safe day 🙏

@tanjalay2903 Месяц назад

That is a big undertaking not looking for starting on ours. The cabin build is going so but will get there. I think changing it to your new name for the channel is great. I love it. If you still need a decorator on looking for a special thing let me know will keep a look out. (Tanja:s Place) I wish you all lots of blessings to be safe .

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

hey I'm always open for design ideas! I've never actually gotten to design anything other than my cabin . . . Erik has very specific taste and does not agree with my ideas, lol. But our countertops have labradorite mixed into them, so I DID go buy some giant labradorite polished rock sections to set on them. But I'm definitely open to ideas! How is your greenhouse coming? Such a great idea, I've never seen one turned into nook before.

@dvljet Месяц назад

Suzanne you should be wearing hardhats at all times on site for your safety and keep the kids off an active worksite because a building inspector could give you problems for having kids on an active worksite . a better way to lift that wall would be with a 4 wheel tele lift forklifter

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

The tele lift was coming in a few days :)

@MustangsTrainsMowers Месяц назад

To lift the wall framing could you use something like a Strongway adjustable gantry crane sold by Northern Tool? Model GD2-4-1 $600. Add a Strongway manual chain hoist for $180. If you don’t have a Northern Tool nearby, maybe a Harbor Freight? The gantry Crane adjusts up to 11.8 feet. Once you are done using it you could sell it to recover 2/3rds of your investment if you don’t have further needs for it. About 20 years ago I built one from some very old AMF trampoline frames held together at the top with child swing brackets. I bought a manual chain hoist from Menards on closeout for $25. One of the AMF frames I was paid to haul away, other was given to me so I essentially got zero dollars into mine. I’ve pulled two Ford 6.9 Diesel engines with the transmission, plus pulled a few other Ford 300-6. Disappointed you are doing less farm content. I want to branch into more comedy with my Boyd The Goofball channel except I need some people to help act in several of them. I have a talent for writing and I can make people laugh. If I could get approval to play Dualling Banjos for one comedy video I think it has the potential to do well.

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

You know, the nice thing with dueling banjos is that it's adlib . . . so you could hire two guys to do their take of it and you SHOULD be ok, although RU-vid can be weird about that stuff and STILL have people try to claim they own something . . . I think you should give the comdey channel a shot, some of the best channels are those with scripts. My farming content just wasn't keeping people interested, and we are moving away from hay. Christmas trees are not really getting anyone excited and I've had people tell me they stopped watching because "nothing goes wrong". As a farmer, I consider that a success. But as far as content goes, I guess it does make for some fairly boring material . . .

It really looks like it's going to be nice and spacious. My place is only thirty feet long and I had to have an I-beam down the center. It got boxed in with duct work. Good luck with your new channel.

Checked the other link... and subscribed... before I even got to the end of this video when you explained all 🙂 Now where was I... oh yeah... you & Erik please take care when lifting those wall sides up.🙂 I hope by now that builder has been and approved all your work that you had 🙂 and gave you a AAA+++++ grade 🙂With walls up it all starts to make sense of your work plan and how things will look when finished 🙂nz*

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

It's a bit hard for me to absorb . . . the basement took a month to go in, but framing it only took a week! By the time the builder showed up I was just marveling at the walls we had done and then poof, more progress!

@BigBear-qr4zn Месяц назад

I got your new channel 👍🏽🤓

@marksmotorsportsandfarming7376 Месяц назад

I would not have changed anything as far as channel names since the house build is part of your overall farming experience. If anything, you should have given the name of this channel to the new channel and move the house building videos to the new channel

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

I toyed with that idea, but farming is slowing down as we switch into Christmas trees, which so far no one has really gotten excited about. The channel was costing me money out of pocket to continue running, so it was either shut it down or do a massive facelift ;)

@marksmotorsportsandfarming7376 Месяц назад

@@This1LifeWeLive I think part of the reason for the lack of excitement for the Christmas trees is because of how long it takes before you have a harvestable tree. I would think that the hay farming would still get people excited since it's harvested annually even if you don't have as much

@CrossesbyCharlie Месяц назад

Hopefully he won't walk off the job or male you take it all down. He very well just may do that

@davidsharlot6794 Месяц назад

Those fake channels where they have started posting your videos from the beginning made me think. I suppose it's like a new channel where you don't have to go through all the old ones at once to catch up.

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

I think I'm the only one posting old videos . . . as far as I know no one else has . .

@dehavenfamilyfarm Месяц назад

Nice work guys! This may not matter to you, but won't you end up losing ad revenue from moving all your old videos? I assume they will all start over at 0 views- which means the tubes won't see them as popular and won't promote them much. I will still head on over to the second channel though 😊

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

Yes, that is correct! Currently the only video RU-vid has been pushing is the one discussing making $60,000 per acre with Christmas trees, done about a year ago. All the old ones have run their course. But it's interesting that a few early ones that took off are now doing it again . . . so while they WERE not making any revenue, they now have the potential to once it gains monetization :) I am losing views, but growth has blown up a lot more since I began transitioning it :)

@fredtrent8992 Месяц назад

Is there a story behind the name change?

@fredtrent8992 Месяц назад

Ok. Should have waited until the end.😊

@This1LifeWeLive Месяц назад

Erik had been telling me to change it for a few years . . . I guess it finally made sense 😉

@gordbaker896 Месяц назад

The last wall at 4:15 seemed high. Perhaps just camera angle. You were all in the Danger Zone sometimes. Glad you lucked out. The bottom should have been secured so it would not slide etc. WE don't like change. Why change the Channel you have worked so hard at? utube is demanding we watch ads we Don't Want. The Public is already inundated in ads. Amost 25 minutes of every hour on TV there are ads. I purposely ignore/don't buy the product. All that space for 2 people? Only 1 TV? Happy Summer. Glad you missed out on a lot of rain from Beryl.

We got the rain Monday, lol!
