I know it's more editing, but I appreciate the captions you have added. They are very helpful.

I do like the little graphic pieces of information you added. Just the right amount for the things that aren't obvious but not so much that it distracts from your great cinematography. Thanks.

​@@ChrisDraussenshow us the video then 😂

Hello from California! I can relate...a bit. My wife decided she wanted a "decorative stone" in the back yard. Rockery delivered a 900lb rock but could only leave it in our front yard. Using the pallet as a sled plus multiple pipe sections we manage to roll the thing to the desired location. Took a full day to move it 50ft. It'll sit at its current location forever!

I've been watching your videos for years and always thought you reminded me of my father. Or you should have been an uncle of mine. But watching your experience with moving boulders. I spent 7 months alone in the Kootenay mountains. A lot of the spring and first half of the summer. I was moving boulders like this, down mountain. Just to create garden beds. I'm 5.7" and 130lbs. I cannot express the adrenaline rush I'd create within myself to move every boulder by hand. I used a rope in some situations. I lost a few boulders that just kept rolling into the trees below. But to have them land in place was so satisfying. Knowing I was just inches away from a broken leg, ankle, arm. With no one to rescue me and a hospital 35 minutes away. I made it out with only one injury. Trying to roll a boulder to the edge of a hill. Slipping, then hitting my chin on the rock. But nothing broke and kept working until the coyotes got a little too close. Every night I chopped wood and said to myself. Shawn James does this everyday and he's still going strong. You're a major inspiration and definitely kept me going every day. Until mosquito season.. that sucked.

كم أحب عملك وانتضره بفرغ صبر كل يوم جمعة ما شاء الله أنا اتابعك من دولة الجزائر🇩🇿🇩🇿🇵🇸🇵🇸 ❤

Yaay chickens! Cali has a sense of humor. Love that you're putting in a pond again. Thank you for another wonderful installment in your journey.

Interested in watching this for the sled especially...we have a lot of stones to move on our land as well. We're like-minded homesteaders down in Virginia, and have learned a great deal from you (or validated our approaches that are similar to yours.).

What a fantastic doglife

Kali (and Dad) living their best life😃

God bless you ! You are a hard worker and you probably enjoy it as well! Many blessings on all whom you inspire ! Blessings to your family as well !🧚🏼‍♂️🧚🏼‍♂️🧚🏼‍♂️

The creation of the Canadian "Stonehenge".

Good crop of rocks Shawn. Looking forward to seeing your projects. All the best, keep safe.

Ce que je vois de cette très belle vidéo, sans traduction, c'est que Callie a de nombreux terrains de jeux vastes..que vos greffes sont un succès. Vous gardez les souches ...et vous préparez l'habitat pour vos poules ( vous déterrez avec soin vos plantations, pour les changer de place) votre épouse travaille également dans les jardins; tous ces travaux vous donnent chaud....et que vous construisez une sorte de plateforme pour tirer de gros rochers à la force des bras ( dangerous!), et ensuite à l'aide de votre engin motorisé.Vous êtes solide comme un roc, et obstiné ! Bravo

I once had a grafted apple tree. It was such a producer, I made many apple pies... was a wonderful tree. The cabin is looking spectacular and everything is really coming along.🌿💚

You’re doing a great job Shawn, just don’t tear your muscles moving the large rocks! ( God put them rocks there, let God move them for you! ) you are doing a great job for the family to say my Dad did all this by himself! Be safe, stay healthly, & God Bless everyone!

Hi. You added new music. Like it very much (Harp). Greetings from Germany, Chris

So good, comfort, relief to see you are as busy as ever. The snow falling outside and prepping for bed is such a blessing. Looking forward to more. Blessings to you and family. ❤❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

The Stonehenge episode 🎉

Shawn I’m sure you known to be careful of your back when jockeying heavy rocks around but don’t neglect your knees I’ve got a torn meniscus in my right knee doing exactly what you are doing!

Glad to see you are finally using the atv to live the rocks. Work smarter not harder ❤

Nice Place I love your enthusiast You are amazing craftsmen. With your channel I don't mind losing Hours watching your videos From Mario Uk

Very productive start on this project Shawn. Looking forward to the progression,& finished product. Stay safe, healthy, happy,& blessed.💯👍🏾😀💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

LOVE THE BACK GROUND MUSIC...HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY !!

Thanks Shawn because I’m impressed with the things you’re doing to make the flourish! 🌱🌱🌱👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

Who needs a gym when you have a heavy rock sled? I'm impressed with how you're moving around those big rocks, Shawn 💪😁

Good Grief! Hauling heavy stones indeed! Good solid sled does the trick - such good work and terrific knowledge! from Canada - dying to see the chickens!

I can remember when I was a young teenager the farmer down the road we would pick rocks from the field and load them onto a "Stone Boat". Just to 10 or 12" diameter logs with a curve on the bottom front and boards across the top to put the rocks on. We would collect them, and drop them off on the stone rows. Great work out.

Lubię go za pomysły i pracowitość.

Desde o dia que te vi, naquela cozinha caipira, aquele rustico fogão e aquele forno gostoso de ver. Aquele assado que dava agua na boca, foi que, comecei a seguir seus videos. Acho lindo tudo que vc faz, mas esse trabalho braçal é top de se ver! Parabéns, aquele abraço do Brasil!!!!

Happy late birthday, Shawn. My father would've been 70 on the 10th.

❤I have used metal engine hoods for my rock sleds and they all eventually got overworked by the tractor and sling that pulls them ❤

Happy weekend everyone!

Your soil on the homestead must be so rich from thousands of years' leaf mulch, animal droppings etc. It is great to see you also planning timbers for future biilding projects too.

I'm heading up to Muskoka on Monday. I can't wait to leave the gloominess of Lake Erie behind and see the old stomping grounds of happier days. Rain or shine it will be beautiful.

Hey Shawn, glad to see you and yours doing well and I like your pulling sled, good idea. Thanks for sharing the goings on at your place with all of us out here in tv land. Cheers

And that is how people stay fit long time ago ❤

Lots going on , we love watching . Thanks for sharing .

Shawn take it easy for yourself !!! Glad your using the Side Kick to pull some of the Heavier stones but all of them stones are so heavy for you !!! OUR CALI comes to give to you support to make you stop for awhile !!! She doesn't want to go without her master at all !!!

Nice stoneboat. They come in handy 👍

Thanks for this video. You are an example to us all.

Save your back use your tractor. Keep up the great work Shawn!

You can so easily hurt your back doing this kind of lifting! Once done it weeks of pain a no productivity.

Keep on rockin in the free world.

Good stuff, Shawn, but now I am worried. Last time you built a pond, you had us all move to a new piece of property! I hope we are here to stay this time! Careful with the rocks...a man has to know his limitations. (and those of his equipment) A variation on measure twice, cut once: Think twice, act accordingly.

Using the brace to do the screws taught many people 😊

Dang, all that hard work is getting some guns on Shawn!

Love the quick captions!

So cool to watch the work. I bet an awesome fire ring. Tall stone to reflect heat. Watching you its probably some epic outdoor cooking design.

We are amaze by your skill, solo in planning and implementing into reality, waiting for more project to vlogs, GOD bless

ooh ..how one man can do everything alone 🙌🏽🌷

I really enjoyed this video, it was wonderful being able to just sat back relax watch you do the work, interesting seeing how you do it. I have spent years cleaning my land. The lot I bought was classed as forestry I cleared it. I never realized when I bought it how many granite rock it had on it. I love the outdoors it was a labour of love, I have three antique crow bars that I use. I am looking forward to when you get the chickens, see what Cali thinks of them how she reacts. She is such a beautiful dog, I just love watching her She is so clever never gets in your way. Belated happy birthday Shawn. I see you have a helper, that’s great every bit helps. I am looking forward to seeing your chicken coop. I have been thinking about it wouldn’t have a clue how to go about it for in the winter months . Thanks for sharing Shawn.

It's going to be nice video so relaxing to watch

Nice work😊

Wow. Loved your video. You sure give yourself a workout. Take care and stay safe.

I was going to ask the same, what is it?

Go to the local wrecker's yard and get a hood from a 60's something vehicle.. The farmer's in the Interlake region in Manitoba used them all the time to move large rocks.. They slide easily when upside down and never break and are relatively light.

I have to admit Shawn. Fred Flintstone would be proud of your sled. 😉

That last stone sure looks like a tombstone. A lot of back breaking work!

When I used to gold mine we moved lots of big round rocks. Best and safest way we found wasn’t using straps but old tire chains. They don’t break and wrap around odd shapes well.

Happy birthday.

One word( admiration !

Thank you for the videos

You have a very lovely companion dog.

Assistindo aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

The house you made is very solid. Good sharing

I changed from raising chickens to rabbits for meat. During the summer i feed for free and im in the desert. More sustainable for rabbit feed than chicken feed. I do keep 10 egg layers to keep us in eggs though. But we easily get 500lbs of meat off our rabbits per year.

Our very own STONEHENGE in ontario. We'll done. Work smarter not harder.

we called that sled a stone boat

Absolute brute work with that boulder hauling and setting, even with mechanical aid! Respect!

Love the work brother!!

Hey Shawn, invest in a winch damper to put over your line in case it snaps - that way it doesn’t come flying at you. Have seen a few accidents that ended up gnarly. Fantastic work and love the updates - thanks for sharing!

What, your finally getting some chickens! Thought you was not going to do that and get eggs from neighbors. I think its a great idea to have your own and be able to feed them off your land.

Shawn to my way of thinking would build my cabin first for me and my companion to have shelter. Then through time expand to the outbuildings. I kept wondering when livestock was coming on to the scene, eggs are a very vital part of living for sure, well no need for good luck for I know you will be successful...

How about getting a couple of lovely Donkeys to help you with heavy loads Shawn? Cali would love to have the company too! Your sweet Donkey shed would be great comfort at Christmas time!! Cheers from Canada!

I want to live this life!!!

I think about stones of that size and that they haven't been moved for tens of millions of years potentially. You may be last to move it for millennium more. Kind of a mind trip.

It was nice seeing your wife on this video.

what a beautiful weather....oauuuu...i am so glad to see the sun shine hotness into your world region also....hear in SWISS we are whit one monthe befor the calendar...whit the weather....impresiv what is going on!!! YOU are so handsome whit your curt pants 🤭🤭🤭🤗😘😘😘😘

Hello Shawn! Place looks great! I do remember using an old stone boat for moving rocks around. We had an old horse for this. I don't know what they used for fertilizer but those rocks grew big in our old farm. I think picking rocks had to be the worst job I ever had. A long day doing this - I think this is were I learned to swear up a storm. Ha ha ha!

nice. i made a rock sled out of an old shallow plastic wheel barrow and put some wooden sled runners on it. it held up pretty well. good luck ... it's a workout for sure; at least i counted as one.

SHAWN & OUR CALI PLUS MISSES !!! Glad your getting to the Chicken coop !!! It is needed big time !!! Watch @Simple Living Alaska they are a younger couple but they have chickens it might help you on out Shawn !!! They gave to me a lot of ideas for chickens in the COLD Winter months -58 degrees !!! Wood Chips help with the bottom of the floor for their chickens and they got a run also for them !!!

Sour cherry tree?!?! Gonna make Vonnie's world famous cherry pies!!!

Captions good. Harmonica great.

To paraphrase Archimedes, "give me a homemade sled strong enough and I shall move the world"

Happy B day Shawn I know yours is right before mine but I also have a few years on you! We seem to be doing similar things to our properties, pond is a good one not sure about the chicken coop though. Have to wait and see how that goes. Enjoy your day!!

👋BE BLESSED 🤲.

A hand truck with pneumatic tires is used to move grave markers into position. If you see one for sale, grab it.

This is exactly like how stone hedge was built !!

U will have to keep a check on the preadators,

Last bit reminds me of Stonehenge in miniature.
