Home Made Cellar Is Starting To Look Like a Hobbit House

- In the second home made cellar video it's finally starting to look like a hobbit house. While the inner space is definitely a root cellar, the outer hobbit house is more of an off grid underground house and could easily be adapted to create some living space if we want.
The root cellar is magic for keeping fruits and vegetables from freezing through winter here. Once we build some shelves we'll also keep our canning in here to keep them cooler all year round. The hobbit house (outer cellar) has also proven perfect for aging or hanging meat at a constant fridge temperature.
Also, for some reason there are quite a few cameos from our little batch of german sheppard puppies (or shepherd if you prefer).
I will donate my body for Daves woo.....chair!
Wait... do i have to be dead?
Could be awhile!! Lol!
Another funny great video. Here in northern idaho we still have zero snow! I see it comming now though. Jeff i swear u could be my brother from another mother. (Which is scary cuz, the world cant handle too many of us). And my hubby is Dave exaclty. We have 4 kids and its so cool to watch ur vids (joke about daves skill with wood) and see another lifestyle similar to ours. Biggest fan... and still showing u guys off to friends and family. They enjoy these vids too. Gonna get u the subs i promised! 😉
Would you like please to tell me in which state they did this video?
@@starrjarod4148 they live in Canada
@@kpattenvan Okay, which state? and thanks for your answer !
@@starrjarod4148 Canada does not have "states". They have providence's. I cant be totally positive on the providence. I think i know. But am not positive. It may say in the bio.
As the now-grown daughter of an Alaskan homesteader, although your daughters don't know it yet, I know they are going to really appreciate the skills they have learned as children! Kudos to you for involving them and encouraging them!
If I can offer one tiny, humble, piece of advice... I really think you should shore up those side walls. That concrete roof is really heavy and when you cut the supports out in the other video it really flexed a bit. Culvert pipe gains its strength by being packed in dirt. I would recommend you build the earth walls up higher around the structure and tamp the earth down as you go. This will add a ton of strength to the culvert pipe with little to no remodelling required. Especially with that doorway in there, it's really important to add strength. In the future when you cut a doorway out of culvert like that I recommend leaving a connection to the other side at the bottom of the door frame as well as the top instead of cutting the bottom out at the margin. This will add a lot of strength and stability to any future build you do.
Your daughters are intelligent, skilled, mature, they know so much stuff but no attitude. You are probably the best parents I have ever seen. Love you all from India
Your girls will have a tough time finding a man worthy of them but the wait will be worth it. You're doing a great job raising them and they are your reward as parents.
Tyler Woods so true
Thinking the same thing
Maybe they'll be gay!
@@su2471 One never knows. Either way if they do choose to go the route of searching for one worthy of them they will still have a tough time of it.
@@su2471 God forbid!
It is so great to see a man and woman teaching children the importance of hard work! GODSPEED! TO YOU AND YOUR AWSOME FAMILY!!! GOOD WORK! ALL OF YALL
I love the way you’re raising your daughters. This is awesome. They’re learning to be strong, independent, capable women. No one will ever tell them they aren’t capable of something. Bravo!
This channel is the best thing on CZcams, by far. Educational and entertaining at the same time.
Richard I wholeheartedly agree with you. I always learn something and I laugh like hell the whole time. . . .THE BEST CHANNEL FOR SURE!!!
Looks great! ... And I love how you're teaching your daughters how to be Survivors. 👍👍
In Scandinavia they would use this for a sauna.
I still think it would be a good idea to add roof supports that could double as shelving.
Great root cellar. Great vid. Your kids amaze me. They will never be intimidated by challenges that most men would hire a contractor for.
Greetings from the Bay of Fundy.
Yup ... At least a 6x6 central column ... Or at least a 10 inch diameter tree trunk ... Help keep stuff off the floor ...
Once again you deliver life, love and happiness. This make me miss my Dad a ton. He had me working with him all the time. Thank you for a great uplifting video.
All kids should be so luckly to learn a skills of survival. I taught my kids like that too. 💜
not survive, only how build somethink.
Wow, that is one beautiful root cellar, well done! I think it took eight years because you had to wait for your foreman, crew, and maintenance personnel to grow into their roles.😉 And I think the cat and chicken are actually frienemies! 😼🚯🐔
Wow, the skills these young folks are learning is invaluable. Their motivation to participate is an fine example. ❤️❤️
Very impressed with the young ladies! They’re learning things that 30 year old guys can’t do! I know you’re very proud of them! Love the root cellar.
I laughed so hard when you said, if the glove dont fit you must acquit, your girls looked at you with confusion. Too funny and great job teaching your girls skills.
My dad would have loved your channel..he treated us girls the same way you treat your daughters.
I'm so thankful for everything he taught me about being self sufficient.
Dad ya done good with your daughters,, it would be wonderful if more fathers took the time to love their kids like you,, A big old thumbs up to you and your lovely bride !!!
Pushing Girls to do something useful, is much better than buying them cellar phones to chat and watching crap things. I love you daughters and you are a good parents.
Great bunch of girls. Be proud!!!
Man!!! I love how yall work together! I hope you thank the GOOD LORD every day for your beautiful and well mannered children! Your so lucky brother!!!
Dude, You and your wife must be awesome parents to have such awesome kids. Such a cool shelter too. Don't know ya, but proud of you all.
I was raised like this. Taught things most books couldn't start to teach. Common sense, seems there is less of it everyday! When my dad passed away a few years ago, a lot of outdoors knowledge was lost and I realized just how blessed I was to have such a dad. Your girls will be the same. The things you are teaching them will give them strength in other endeavors of life.
WOW!!! The project is TOP BANANA!!! The idea, the covered roof, the use of the logs looking rustic etc. But the most I like the united family, the skill, and the enthusiasm. Congrats and greetings from Ireland!!! : )
Oh! And I meant to mention, that you guys are unbelievably funny! Jean from Arizona 🦂🌞🌴🌻🦎⛰🐍🌵
Love your video's. Growing up like this I thought my parent's were nuts. As an adult I see not so nuts.
Outstanding! Black Jack is a lovely little guy ☺
Outstanding seeing your kids so involved!!~!
Your living way is a dream for the outsiders. A Great Dad full of Responsible to provide the needs for the family and a strong Mom with full of grace and patience to support your Man. Damn! you are lucky to get that masterpiece of your Lady wife. Treasure your family. Looking forward your next video.
7:47 is the best overview of this channel. Dad jokes vs kids. It's like an interact/reaction, documentary, vlogging and diy learning channel all in one. I LAUGH OUT LOUD every time the dad jokes and thoughts are given to the girls and you get that, "Ok dad.....ok.........ok.." So wholesome.
Great job guys! Beautiful root cellar!
I am going to have my kids and grandkids purolator my body out to your place when I die (hopefully not any time soon). I would love to feed the tree that gets made into a rocking chair. I am a big guy, maybe you could get two trees out of me, that would be perfect for Jeff and Dave to sit on the porch for their chats. If I can find a culvert like that I think I am going to steal your idea, my first attempt at a root cellar caved in. Thanks for sharing.
My parents have already purchased their burial plots but they weren't too keen on me growing potatoes there even *before* they were using it. Sheesh!
Hahaha that bit with Margaret Atwood at the end. You were so Canadian about it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are all awesome and such adorable puppies!!!!! 😍
This is by far, the very best CZcams channel there is...You guys should have a TV show...I sure hope this new problem of children on CZcams doesn't affect your ability to continue doing your channel and the monetization of your channel...This is awesome family entertainment.
I got excited when Dave started talking aboot composting Jeff-when the time comes. The trees. The vegetables. I thought of tall corn for some reason. This video is hilarious. Beautiful loving family. From your neighbor down in Texas.
Oh my gosh, I love, love, LOVE this channel!
I agree about wood and mankind....I just love wood! And the smell....ahhhhhh! It's like heaven. Blessings on you and your family. You are doing a great job with your girls. Shalom!
My favorite part of your videos is watching your girls be completely unafraid to DO stuff.
First body for compost here! Chalk me up as the first Canadian composted Mexican! I love it!!! Y’all are so funny and talented! You and Rose are such Great teachers and parents.
Your funny guys and your daughters have skills. Congrats on the root cellar. Thanks for the entertainment. Paul UK
I'm shocked this doesn't have millions of views. Great video, also your a great Father.
You are doing an excellent job raising the girls. They will be survivors. Awesome video
You guys are funny and have done a great job special girls fantastic job
It's like a castle but underground. You have your own kingdom, a beautiful queen, and little hobbits... now all you need is a crown. That should be your next project, dig enough gold to melt down and cast your own crown. Don't forget to dig up some jewels to adorn it, garnets can pass for rubies I think. Dave can be either your knight or court jester, you decide. Last but not least, you will need to make a flag to fly over your castle battlements, a royal crest, something regal that is worthy and indicative of your stature... I know! A Christmas turkey and a cornucopia. I think that says it all. A kingdom runs on its stomach after all....... thanks for another great video.
Really cool and very cute couple. Love your girls.
I love your videos! When I see the email saying your videos arrive it's like Christmas all year long. Thanks for making my day a can do day.
Dave rock! Funny as ever! Your not bad either,umm what's your name! Right A!! Greetings from the U.P. Michigan
Great Canadians. you and your family are awesome.
In Australia we have green garbage bins for garden and lawn clippings. Local councils recycle them into compost which is then sold back to the local community. My father in law wants to be put out in the green bin when he dies to be recycled. I love the idea of having a tree planted on top of me and that tree being harvested to make furniture. It's common here to bury pets under trees/shrubs as a memorial.
Looking forward to seeing how it looks this summer and a report on how well it worked over the winter.
I accidentally came across your videos. I got curious when there were these young girls working and their Dad laughing. Our course I had to check it out. Wow I found a fun, entertaining and instructional (I think) channel to follow!! Keep on smiling!!
Safety meetings make the farms go round. Nice work.
MONETIZE this stuff already. Why the heck not? And, you can still keep your soul because you don't need to be the popular kid on the block. This episode I feel I finally got you - your humour, approach, desire, delight et al. So freken awesome. Watched with my 3, 5 and 6 year old girls and we constantly laughed...
You have some of the most motivated kids you must be so proud they had fun working look forward to the next video I hope you and your family have a totally awesome weekend :-) peace
I'm worried about reinforcement that support RCC roof(because its too heavy)
Has anyone told you that cutting timber/wood/lumber what ever you call it does not harm your saws blades much at all where the damage is done to the blades is the bark where all the rubbish is and if you can strip the bark or most of it you increase the longevity of your blades between sharpening !! Happy days to you all you are all doing a great job
always look forward to watching the vids to see what your up to and get a laugh. the pups are getting big and the root cellar looks great.
Thanks!
Was waiting for the video for a long time. Thank you for uploading it.
Your girls are amazing. I love their work ethic. You are definitely living the dream!!!
The celler will be so cozy you'll want to stay in it all winter without needing to heat it nice work can't wait to build myself a root cellar! thanks for your awesome videos truly the best on CZcams I have watched!
Root cellars are awesome but they can't compete with puppies. And the cat and the chicken can totally be friends, we had a dog who brought home a baby kitten in his mouth and took care of it. Don't know where he got it from but there are lots of stray cats in the woods, he carried it around until it was big enough to walk by its self, shared his food with it, played with it, it was awesome.
I've watched a lot of your videos but I think your root cellar is my favorite project, but I also enjoyed the Jeep modifications was a great one too,
Beautiful German Shepherds! Thank you for a most wonderful video, be well!
Wow, what you are teaching your girls is better than any education at a university !!!! I am so impressed and maybe even jealous 😉
I want to bring my body there but to live, I’m not ready for the compost pile 😘
I just found your channel today 3/8/22 and I just love it, you all are inspiring, encouraging, wholesome, hardworking and funny ❤️
Sweet Family and Wonderful Cellar! Congrats!
What a beautiful family. It wa a joy to watch them work together. The girls are simply adorable!
Jeff have a really skilled and great to think about build projects and his girls too.. thumbs up 😊😄👍to you men and to your family you are very creative and positive..
watching from Philippines.
wow you got a great final you teach them and you work as a team enjoy watching and learning I am a homesteader in the USA you are truly blessed God bless you all
I just started watching your videos and I love your family already. Your family members are so talented and beautiful. And you guys seem to love what you do. God bless you all. Jean from Arizona 🌞🦎🌻⛰🐍🌵🦂🌴
Thanks Jean! Glad you found us!
Every time that you post a vid it is like receiving a gift. they make me laugh and I always learn something new, they are heart healthy, which is good food for the body and soul of this 73 year old. Thanks so much for all that you share.
Hi from New Zealand .... an episode of "Where the Wild Men Are" with Ben Fogles showed here in NZ this week and YOU guys were the family in it!! A great episode! Love your channel !! Great work! Blessings to all!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I so admire the way you are raising those girls. I have three boys (18, 16, 14) and we have nothing like your shared sense of adventure. Maybe it's because we do computers, not root cellars, and we only emit electrons.
You are a very LUCKY man with a fantastic family. Those girls are to die for, literally. They are very pretty well mannered and not lazy. You, my friend, and your wife have done an excellent job and you will be rewarded in the end. Great video and I really enjoyed it
Something about this reminds me of "Measure once, cut twice..." But hey, I was all up on laughing at your 1994 humor... That board was definitely "guilty"!!!
Wow, I've only just discovered this channel, I feel sad for what I have missed. One of the best out there.
Oh my gosh so Much laughter!!! I Love love love that hobbit house cellar ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am having my husband make me one!
His kid can operate a saw mill , mine can't operate a push mower!
Better get busy teaching your kid some worthwhile stuff then.
Whatever you want to teach your kids to do, you have to make it fun. Like my parents wanted to make me learn calculus. I am now a ditch digger because of them. They did not make calculus fun.
Great display of youth power and one horse power :-)
You two are great. I fell sorry for the men that will someday marry your daughters. They are awesome workers, It's great you are blessed with the help from them. Keep up the videos and have a safe but fun winter. I'll enjoy the weather here in Florida for now ,lol.
it’s like entering the bunker.. mmm, I realized
,
this is a compost heated hobbit bunker!
I am impressed by the girls confidence and ability. I have had apprentices and even a journeyman or two that I would not trust to do what the girls were doing even at their tender ages. Just make sure they follow safety protocols when around the machinery. Outstanding job raising your kids. They are actually invested in their own environment. They will all go far in the world. KUDOS
Congratulations on your new root cellar nothing looks Like it could take a direct hit! Thanks for the video very nice.
I would like to know how much do you guys smoke in a day cause your out there some where. lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow nice root cellar keep warm this winter!

the hobbit house looks cool...totally appreciate your way of life...i am learning along the way...good luck for the next one
Great channel. I'm going to have to get my twins to watch you. Awesome girls. I love that they love helping you.
