My mansion needs a new basement. Today I am attempting to dig out the basement, to allow us to pour a new concrete floor. I shovel dirt, run the Dingo, pour concrete, get rained out, work in the mud, and learn a lot along the way.

I now know a lot about corn & farming which is handy when you live in Brisbane Australia 🤷‍♀️ MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO YOUR MUM & FAMILY 💕🇦🇺💕

    Talk about a work ethic….Mr. Roman works his butt off not just for the money, but the joy in getting work done.

    Sorry to hear of the passing of your Grandfather. We recently lost my wife's stepfather and after the painful time he was going through it was a blessing. Now, like him, your Grandfather is in a better place. May your family be blessed with memories of better times with him. jack
  • So sorry for the loss of your grandfather. My condolences to your family. I am watching Roman dig right now. What a hard worker he is!! 😊
  • prayers for your family to heal from the heartache it never goes away but it softens with time.

    Between Cole’s Farming duties, digging duties, family duties and everything in between I THINK COLE IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB JUGGLING EVERYTHING THAT COMES HIS WAY. Condolences to your family on the loss or your grandfather. Roman is just a powerhouse!!! Juston doesn’t get enough credit for all the work he is doing too - he is right alongside Cole and Roman and he pulls his workload superbly. I think very highly of all three of these men’s work ethic. I love it - GET IT DONE!!! I think they should name the basement: GET IT DONE!!!

  • @jefffortney4261
    Cole, sorry for your family's loss. Take some time and focus on your loved ones and spend the time you need with them. You, Roman, and Justin are doing a terrific job on the house remodel. It'll be there when you're ready to come back to it.
  • Pro tip, 4" basement floor is standard and more than good enough at 4000 psi,don't waste your money going thicker.
  • @nancyoleksy
    I am so sorry for your loss Cole. Please give your mom a big hug and give her my condolences as well. At least he got to see your boys and you got to talk with him for one last time. No matter how old you are, to lose a parent is never easy.
  • My deepest sympathy to your mom & the entire family. My God give all of you peace during this difficult time.🙏🙏
