  1. I Will Challenge Your Boulders To My Mountain Boulders Anyday LOL🤣Mine Have Stayed Put For A Very Long Time Let's Just Say. Glad You Got Another Toy To Work For Ya In Northern AZ.. I Only Had One Boulder Dislodge Once From A 100 Year Flood From The Flowing Creek That Turned Into A Roaring River. 1 Inch Down In The Yard Are Rocks & Boulders. Every Spring Ya Must Go & Walk The Land, As Rocks Will Pop Up From Over The Winter & The John Deer Does Not Like That. Living In Nature You Realize Your Visitors In The Changing World Of Nature 24/7. I Like That. Never A Boring Life In The Moments Of Living. Making A New Pile Of Rocks The Snakes🪱 Will Thank You For Their New Digs. Those Are Rocks Your Dig'n Up Not Boulders. Have You Thought Of Building A Trampoline Oxygon Shed So The Kids Will Be Safe & Enjoy Year-Round From The Elements? Oxygon Shed Built From Pallet Wood Boards & Tin Roof With Pads Around The Walls & Exaush Fan Have Safe Fun Whipper Snapper.

  2. Very handy machine you all have there. I just went back a few videos to see if you had said your names. No luck. Wife/Mother nice job!! Those boulders give an endless training ground. You will be an expert in short order. Thx for the Sunday entertainment💪

  3. That backhoe would've come in handy when digging the outhouse. Glad to see you get so much us out of it. Those boulders are massive. Maybe you can use some of them for building and sell many of them. If you has goats they'd absolutely love the boulders for climbing on.

  4. I had to remove a boulder from my dirt road too. I have a half mile of dirt road running through the property and removing the boulder was one of the first things I did when I got my tractor. I did it all with a loader. A backhoe would have been better, but that's an expensive addition to an already expensive piece of equipment!

  5. Having a backhoe on the homestead is super useful. I love my Case 580C when it works, I just wish it wasn't so old and broke down all the time. Good luck with all the boulders and finishing the shed. Keeping the kids entertained with projects is way better than having them stuck in front of a screen. I applaud your work ethic.

  6. You're really doing a fantastic job I was just thinking would it have been feasible to keep the boulders buried in the ground level it out and pour concrete over those huge boulders seems like it would have made a good foundation no mud slides during the rain season just thinking out loud really don't know a thing about it not really not thinking about the cost involved 🥺 God bless you and your family stay safe

  7. Not being critical, but it might have been an idea to dig a huge hole, put the soil to one side, dropped the boulders into said dug hole and then covered them up and used the excess soil to fill in the holes. Just an idea.
