While you may miss your friend Ronnie, keep in mind that advanced old age isn’t for everyone. One might say, the fact that he died doing what keeps most men feeling like they’re alive, ‘work’, is a blessing. I’m perusal my 88-year-old mother slowly deteriorate from dementia. She can’t hardly walk anymore and her once sharp mind is gone. Yet her heart and lungs are strong. Meaning: She may continue to linger in a state not really more than existence for years. She is not happy and has expressed her wishes to ‘leave’ to many times to count. It is heartbreaking. I’m 67 and if I make it to 70, still intact and aware, I’d call that a win if I too am taken home by the Lord at that time. I have NOT ONE DESIRE TO SUFFER LIKE MY POOR MOTHER. Sorry for rambling. My condolences for your loss, Cornstars.
It’s said you can tell the character of a man by the friends he keeps. You have made wonderful choices in who you call friend. Roman is delight to listen too while he shares his knowledge. And, finally Cole my prayers go out to each member of your family. Ronnie will always be part of your family. Blessings 💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I hope Nave and Dc and MC and Cooper all get to put their hand prints in the house too! I’ve also seen homes where people write bible verses on the walls and floors before everything gets all closed up, that would be so cool for you all to do, some people just do it with their family, and some people invite their support/community from church or their inner circle of friends to come bless their home ❤📖
My condolescenses on the passing of your dear friend Ron. I always loved to see a flash of Ronnie here and there over the years in your articles. My fathers name was Ron and he also drove truck and every other thing that had wheels or treads – he drove it. I lost him far too young, he was only 64. Last year I lost my baby nephew who was only ten weeks old, so that puts things into perspective real quick. I then thought well my Dad did live a good long life, he was married, had 4 children, two wives and 3 grandchildren before he passed, he now has several more. I wish hed been alive to meet my son but like I said, he did live a good life, it was a hard life, but I think if you asked him, hed still say, it was a good life. My prayers are with Ron’s family. He will absolutely be missed.
You know how you estimated the cost of farming in previous articles wit labor estimates? It makes me wonder what you labor estimate is for your forever-house. I suspect this is much more a labor of love than financial sense would dictate. The greatest part so far is seeing just how much you are enjoying this endeavor. With much Aloha…
It was so good to see Juston ( his superhero pose was great). But, I’m so sad to hear about Ron. It’s all I could think about thru the rest of the article. I think back to the time he shared with you that his sister in laws cancer had returned and a go fund me was set up for her. His wife will be so sad at his passing. I wonder how her sister is making out. It was very nice to see you out in the fields, it felt so free-ing to be surrounded by the living things. 🌽🌽🌽🌽 God bless & comfort Ron’s family. 🙏
So sorry for your loss Cole. It’s so hard to lose someone who has been a part of your entire life…and has been spotlighted on the website a time or two??? As a Christian, you know that the Lord knew it was his time. We can’t know why accidents happen, but he and his family may have been spared a debilitating disease, hospice care, or loss of mind. When we lose those we love all of a sudden, that’s how I console myself. It doesn’t make the loss easier, but it does help me to cope. Prayers for peace and strength for you and the family. BTW, I love to write a verse (the last sentence of Joshua 24:15 or Proverbs 24:3-4) on the studs to bless a home in the build phase. Handprints! What a blessing!
Speaking as an older person (older than Ronnie), it is my hope that I pass doing what I love (mowing grass and working in my yard) because that meant I felt good enough to tackle the yard and that my passing was sudden. There are much worse ways to die for sure. My sympathy to Ronnie’s family and friends, he sounded like a standup guy.
Hey Cole, sure enjoy the construction/deconstruction articles. You must have saved up a bundle to do this much great work, and I know you, Nava, and the boys will enjoy every day you live in it and your company will always feel at home. I would like to suggest one thing for you. Please consider putting the washing machine and dryer on the main living floor or the master bedroom area. It will be hard for you or Nava to go up and down stairs and watch the boys simultaneously, much less grow tired of the stairs as you get older. Those old hard-working farmer bones will give out someday and stairs will be a no, no. I’ve been there and done that and will never have the washer and dryer downstairs again. The closer it is to the bedrooms and kitchen the easier it is to use. You may want to put a washer and dryer downstairs for extra dingy farm work clothes or a larger washer for bedding and such. Just speaking from my experience, anyway, congratulations and best wishes to you and your family, and may this season’s harvest be a whopper. You are so blessed to have a man like Roman as a good friend. He is really amazing.
NOOOO!! 😢 reat easy big Ronnie that is incredibly sad 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 prayers to his family and cornstar family losing a family friend is never easy Cole hit it correct you expect people to live to 100 and as you grow up farming you have lots of friends etc working around you for years and slowly that generation is gone and it puts a harsh and real check on the reality of life …and that is that it’s fragile undeniably inevitable fate to everyone …RIP Ron keep them wheels turning and burning in heaven chief
So, Cole according to your terminology the theater is underground, so you are calling it an underground theater. Your basement is also underground why aren’t you calling it an underground basement? So, when the house structure is built on top of the theater will it be a theater in the basement, an underground theater in the basement, a theater underground in the basement, a basement underground with a theater. All basements are underground so will the laundry room or bathroom be the underground laundry room or underground bathroom? Asking for my wife because you confuse her when you call the basement a basement and the theater an underground theater not a basement theater. LOL Cornfused in Illinois, please try to explain your logic for those of us that have grown up with basements are whole life!!
Cole isn’t yelling, he’s talking with a loud voice, like a middle child having siblings. Siblings of say, more than four, the children between the oldest and youngest ages talk louder, this for many middle children is factual, Why? Why because a child in the middle wants to be heard by the parent and or… when they’re speaking, this because most parents are more attentive on the youngest, especially when two or more siblings are talking at the same time! If Cole is the youngest, then he’s the spoiled one, LOL. 😂
When doing repetitive shoveling,, such as from the skid loader bucket to the wheelbarrow, The hand down nearest the blade of the shovel should be OVER the handle, not under. Look at your own article. With your hand under the ferule of the shovel, your elbow strikes your side and you must turn for every shovel. If your hand is over the ferule, your elbow is freed and you need not even turn. Half the energy expended. Be lazy. Thank you, Ronnie. The hand prints. I tiled a floor once where the hand prints were in the concrete. Rather than tile over the hand prints I cut a piece of glass the same thickness, and size of the tiles, where the prints are, the tiles just happen to be glass, the edges set in butyl tape, and the grout exactly like any tile on the floor. I could see the prints every day. You do the same.
PLEASE STOP SHOUTING ! I have followed your website for years but as a sound engineer for drama in film and tv for 40 years my delicate ears suffer and I turn you down but miss half of what you say because sometimes I just fast forward . Imagine you’re talking to Roman even a few feet away . We are even closer and you are wearing a mic . Maybe it’s your earplugs and you don’t realise but please there is no need to shout . ❤
Hello Cole, great article your house reconstruction is coming along good. I especially like the little hand print put on the wood. By your Family, I agree with you when you said it’s the best part of the house. It’s your family’s way of putting their inprint. Kind of like a time capsule, but unfortunately no one will see it. So maybe you can recreate the same thing. Somewhere on the house so that it can be looked at in years to come. As a remembrance of it all. Also the little information that you gave about the corn and the soybeans. Was interesting I’m not a farmer or have much knowledge of what goes on to run a farm. But I can appreciate how much work it takes. Sorry to hear about your loss of your Friend Roney. Looking forward to your next article as always.
Oh my lanta Roman and Cole. I can’t believe you guys made a mistake.. lol You guys are amazing. Very very few would even think about achieving what you have. You will be absolute legends forever! But you have always been an amazing achiever Cole. It made me so sad to see what the bin site did to your energy.
My girls remodeled their bedroom and couldn’t decide what the floor should be and we paint our sub floors to hep keep stains, water etc. under control. So they were goofing around and wrote sayings, quotations, painted flowers, handprints and stuff on the floor. That was 8 years ago and they won’t cover it up. It is a real treasure to have all that as reminders for us!
21:53, Bolt one LVL on each side of the I-BEAM web & if possible make a way to wedge them between the flanges to put the web in tension. That will “GRAETLY” reduce rhythmic bounce from walking around upstairs. That work can be done this winter & saves having to carry the LVLs outside. Love the plumb sticks !!!!
Is ethanol made into gas, or is really a biofuel ADDITIVE to gasoline? AKA Gasohol. (Ask ANY mechanic who knows about non-ethanol gas and ask which one is best). The ethanol additive when aged through non use really gums up fuel systems. Oh and Koolaid Wasn’t the poisoned drink at Jim Jones’ Jamestown, but Flavor-aid was. Poor Koolaid Now, poor Gasoline.
Roman made a boo-boo mistake forgetting about the extra inches needed for the wall. Strike one for him. While dad has everything under control with the farm equipment just in time for the harvest time. Ronnie was more then a friend part of the family. Hard to lose a good member for the farm and hard to replace him. Think about putting family hand prints in fresh concrete.
Cole, I’m listening to ur explanation of the harvest and something struck me. Have u watched this episode? U sound and act just like DCS. It’s really cool to see. Ur roots r deeply planted and what a wonderful thing to see in a young person who’s just getting started. U guys have talked for years about being ready and it’s finally happened. Wow, the goals all of u have reached just by eating the elephant one bite at a time.
With harvest and winter approaching quickly it would be beneficial to hire out the concrete work so the house project can continue through the winter vs waiting until after crop is planted next summer! There is a time to work hard and learn, there is a time to realize your time is better spent elsewhere such as harvest and planting. By hiring out the very labor intensive, technical, and time consuming task of building the foundation you can shave six months of the project. The cost of hiring out will be not much more than what you are about to invest in building or renting forms. I do almost all my own home improvements and renovations and learned there is a time to do it yourself to save money and there are some things that actually save you money by hiring out
17:39 That is precious and cool. In my last two homes, I signed my name on the beams in a couple of places as they were being built. It’s really cool to know your house will always be “yours” with your personalization embedded in the core of it. I know you filmed, but take a good pic of it to hang up somewhere and note the exact location in the floor for future reference when everything is covered. Condolences on losing Ronnie. Death is sad. What else can we say.
I don’t know if I am preaching to the quire, but if you bring in a load of rock to the basement, rather than bring the bucket back up empty you take a load of debris than you use half as much fuel and save on wear and tear for the machine. Plus, just one less thing to have to do later, plus time and effort on the poor pork steak eating employees.:eyes-pink-heart-shape::body-blue-raised-arms:
My uncle died around the 23-26th and my family did not know until my cousin went to go check on him and she found him dead on the floor in his trailer and how he dead is the police said since he had depression they said drank himself to death because they found bottles and bottles all over the house. Prayers to Ronnie’s family.
My condolences to Ronnie’s family and friends. I have seen him many times on your property. He will be remembered and missed. This episode is is letting me know that things are going to be really busy very soon. Looking forward to seeing the harvesting season and hopefully no breakdown of equipment or parts supply if something does break.
