Super awesome when you hire someone to do a job, and they over deliver on the job. Not only to help out, but to raise the bar. Faith in humanity has been restored!

When they charge for jobs you didnt ask for, i do have a problem with that. Youve got to know your customer, and what he has in mind with the project, first: make do for a year or two, or maintenance for the long run ?

Aaron... Is a very skilled intelligent individual. His real job pays many times what he might do for Dirt Perfect. Aaron is borderline retired. So he is out here helping for something that's helps Dirt Perfect. Much like Jerry he works when he wants.. a situation I would love to be in at this point in my life!

That's about where I'm at now. I'm still doing home service calls on Arcade and pinball games, jukeboxes and other amusement equipment but no more recovering pool tables or any heavy lifting jobs. No more company jobs. Gotta keep the old brain active but not beat up my already beatened antique body. ​@@michaelrobbins9679

John and his guys really sealed up the buildings nicely. They should last for years to come. You guys have brought life into the old farm.

The pond is like it was never there. And Aaron's grading around the structures was spot on. Your clay tiles were exactly what the doctor ordered for drying up the swap and making corn grow. Love everything You're doing to the abandoned farm making it functional and safe. Great video Mike.

All the improvements on the buildings are coming along nicely, Rome was not built in a day. Keep up the good work Mike.

I have to say it’s really fun to see you build the things you dream up. Few people can say they have done that in their lives. I can tell how excited and proud you are. Taking the chance and working through failures all while showing it on KZread is really impressive. The attitude you and a-a-ron have is what makes this channel great. Keep inventing and thank you for the content.

Great video. You and Aaron make a great team. Never a dull moment. It is not abandoned anymore. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

Huge improvements to the field drainage. The abandoned farm is no longer abandoned or neglected. Great job DP & Almost DP.

If you want your polebarn post to last longer, treat them at ground level like the REC treats their electric poles. It's some sort of creosote, then cover it with tar paper.

All the years my dad farmed, we would cut oak trees around the fields to keep them from draining acreage. One tree was so big that it probably made a quarter acre start producing again. Even limb trimming will make a big difference but we never had anything like that to reach into the trees. Great idea!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. The new farm is really coming together, the millings and paint should really finish things up. Don’t quite understand the comments about getting rid of the carts now that you just bought rollers to maintain the track. Still think you should get Arron’s trailer painted fluorescent yellow and delivered to his house for his wife’s appreciation. Wishing you and your family the best.

The property is looking really good. Hopefully Lt Dan does make a comeback to life.

Advice: You showed the roof of the equipment building and said you'd like to paint it. I'll be 77 in 6 days, and when my parents purchased their last house (brick) and some acreage in 1960, a rental house and several small barns on the property had rusted tin roofs. I was 13 and when my father told an old neighbor that he was going to have me up on them painting the roofs, the old man carpenter told my father that paint would not stick well to a rusty roof, and that he should have me mop the roofs with vinegar to clean off the rust and let dry a day or two, then paint the dried tin. The tin roofs would still look rusted but the vinegar would wash all the loose and semi-loose rust particles off onto the ground and the paint would stick to the metal. I did. The vinegar did not hurt the ground because it's just a turned apple acidic liquid. That's what I did - a rag mop and vinegar in 1961. Dad died in 2001 and Mother 10 months later in 2002. We sold everything in 2003, and to this day, that paint I applied in 1961 - 63 years ago, is just fine.

Thank you for the metal roof painting tips! Got a couple roofs needing attention.

Dry shop & storage is a great plus. Building well worth saving with repairs done. Aaron, against rules to run over go cart.

What a difference that farm is! Kudos for keeping the barns and not tearing them down. I like it!❤

DP everything’s looking good. The extra storage on the abandoned farm is going to help out a lot. I know great man keep them coming.

Your new metal barn is looking good great video 👍

Yes DP. You and all your friends have did a awesome job making this farm another working farm after all those years of don’t being a farm. Now you can look 👀 back at it and enjoy your work 😊❤. Now on to another one 😊

There are coatings that I've used that are working really well! Way better than just 'paint'.

The improvements that you and your team have brought about to both the fields, land, and steading buildings are huge and will improve yet more over time as things settle down. This coming years bad winter weather may reveal what you need to do about roof and open surface water collection and drainage. My suggestion is locate some IBR totes with the tops cut out of them that can be repurposed and used for component storage of plumbing / land drainage fitting components according to pipe size. Straight lengths of pipe stored over head (like a steel storage rack,) coils stored "trapped" between IBRs or on their own under the low loft side side of the big shed together with the pipe trailer. I'm far from sure what to suggest for the tile drainer equipment storage as this tool needs heavy lifting capacity to handle this. Hope that these suggestions may be useful in some way, Dan

Thanks for the update, you have made a huge difference in the look and use of property and buildings. Looks like your contractor has done an excellent job of repairing of the buildings, always good to have someone you count a good job from.thanks again for the update, enjoyed watching.

Thank you Aaron and Mike, keep them coming please.

The big barn will make a nice equipment shed to keep everything in the dry when not in use The limb saw needs one major improvement to make it absolutely SAW PERFECT!! The last 2-3 feet of the saw at the blade needs to be painted with Aaron’s Florescent Yellow Safety Paint!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a great job on the building improvements! Looks like everything is coming together beautifully, thanks for the update Mike! Excellent job!!

A nice looking field , , , after a 'hair' cut. The mark of a good contractor; sees the need & makes the repair without being asked. I even like his name "JOHN HENRY"! Good job! Pay the man!

TLC goes a long way. Places/ structures are looking good!!!Well done guys 💪👍🤗🇺🇸

Mike and Aaron your hard work is paying off! Everything looks good! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

You Remodelling the Farm to a efficent Garage for the complete Equipment. For all Year Times. Very good Idea. 👌👍

Nice job on finishing up the tree work and finishing up the field tile,the abandoned farm is coming right along,totally changing the work areas.great video.just keep doing what you do.😎😎😎👍👍👍

Hello Mike. Mr. Miller knows how to advance job security. Little things do get remembered. Have good days!

By golly the farm is looking good an glad to see the new attachments are working great for you to l 👍 them.

Hey man the farm is looking so much better. I would love to see Lieutenant Dan back to work.

Yessir…, that farm with all the buildings, was certainly a “diamond in the rough”. It is certainly “cheaper to keep her” these days (re:material costs), and make repairs and up grades, as opposed to demo it all and start over. “John Henry” company appears to know their “stuff”, looks great. Thank you sir.

the new farm is looking super nice. Hard work is paying off on this place. And hopefully a decent income off the farm and being put back in production.

Great purchase on the property and very wise renovations. You and my father would have seen eye to eye on just good enough will do the job as storage buildings do not actively produce profits. The only thing I added to the mix was being clean and very organized (I also did a lot of painting, Aaron and I agree on that). If I dropped dead, I don't want my wife stuck with a mess, hang an auction sign on the building and sell contents, then sell the building.

It’s been a long long time sense they built pole barns with round poles. Every thing looks great😊😊😊

Mike some paint will surely make it look like a new building I would spray paint everything , The farm has come along ways from what it did look like from the first video, Mike another thing you might consider if there is room is to add a 2 post lift in the garage for your pickup or smaller tractors or any other smaller items that would make doing maintenance on them a lot easier..

Would be nice but DP mention doing a new shop some place else this early spring. That would be the place to do a lift in the new shop.

MIke, Great to see the work you had done to the larger of the two buildings on the once adandoned farm, and look forward to other work being done, once you find out if you can get some millings for the flooring and outside. The smaller of the two buildings that you have, also very happy to hear that you also have THAT roof completely water tight now as well and no mopre leaks in it, since part of that building is for Aaron's shop🙂 I know you don't want anything to do with that falling apart trailer that Aaron bought, but really wish you would spend a bit of time and help hiom get that rebuilt and brought up to match the smaller building, maybe even paint it the same shade of Grey as the buildings?? The Workshop looks great thus far.

It's amazing how saturated that ground is on the abandoned farm, as shown when you put the rip-rap around the drain tile and clay pipe. I would imagine those run continuously 8 or 9 months out of the year... maybe more? Looking good boys. Always a pleasure to see a property that's been neglected for so long come back to life!

Adam at Hometown Acres got linkable LED lights from Harbor freight for overhead. One outlet needed. They worked pretty good. Farms are looking great.

The difference you guys made is amazing. Thanks for the video. Stay safe

The Abandoned farm is now a useful farm. It looks great, you came along way in a pretty short time. You can do so much here now that it's been tidy up. Awesome!

The farm is turning out great, it’s needed the work you guys done to it for a while, now it’s a great and useful piece of property 👍👍😎😎🍮🍮❤️❤️

nice job cleaning up in joy your day be safe have fun

The farm has really come along great 👍

All coming together well on both farms bro, the buildings are looking good. Look forward to see you guys work on the floor of the big barn when the time comes. Safe travels. Ken.

MBTS ops I would had said the same thing although you said it can’t inspect what’s not there farms are looking great the rebuild of the barn is going to be a great building 👍👋🇨🇦

Loving all the videos. Best wishes to you all.

Hello dp &mbts great videos an good crack watching your videos 👍👍

Couple of things. First, I would love to see an attachment with a muncher or pulper of some sort. Can you imagine if instead of trimming those limbs on that fence row, you chewed chewed them up to pulp? Secondly, If you won't let Aaron use his trailer up alongside the smaller storage building, may I suggest building him an equivalent size storage shed? It wouldn't cost that much if you two built it and Aaron deserves it and is worth it!

Love your security systems lots of dirt and a backhoe

Oh My Goodness ,, Aaron is so wonderful !! I LOVE AARON !!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Aaron and Mike, I really like you guys. Thanks for sharing.

As always, most impressive and I love the way the barn came out! It's hard to find people who have a passion for their job and a willingness to raise the bar of Excellence. You are so lucky and blessed! I'm guessing a really good power washing to the filthy roof and a good coat of paint with an airless would be just fine!

Very happy for you guys Mike. Love the buildings

Looks like the gutters need some work. :) Thank you and have a great day.

Looking good, lotta clean and dry storage!!😄😄

This proves that a little TLC and a lot of elbow grease can make a huge difference. The farm probably looks great right about now with the corn sitting about 13” tall.

Great video! Love the follow-ups! Thanks Mike & Aaron! Lee PS: When I bought my farm, I had to do the same kind of clean up. Dumpsters and dump truck loads to the landfill!

When we tore down an old barn which was still in use the area was turned into a garden. It was really productive.

A good welder all way blams the bose when he on vacation

Great video thanks Mike and Aaron

Farms coming along great! 🚜🚧

Great video. I always like seeing the updates on the farms.

YeH keep us posted on this farm and buildings. Really improved from the overgrown field and leaky buildings…

You gotta love folks with a vision. Kudos to the Dirt family. Regards

Enjoy this project!!!! Thank you

I remember a guy who had an old abandoned farm yard down a 1/4 mile lane, and he stored a couple of trailers in the yard, a Friend told him he'd be better and have a couple of lights on at night to keep things safe, he did so, but a month later his two trailers disappeared, having the yard lit up meant that to someone driving past at night told them there was something worth stealing

All that usable space to get your stuff under cover is awesome.

Well done guys. What a transformation!

The ole farms is coming together and looking great...plus your tree trimming is spot on with a great technique. Congratulations on winning the equipment competition proves your one awesome operator and you had some good competition against you.

The farm looking good Mike , as you said Mike a bit of weed control needed. Post do tend to rot at the ground surface level. A bunch of pitch/wood preservative on that area of the post when you are putting them in the ground may help the post to last longer.

Hey Mike it’s time like Gunners revenge here’s yours. Maybe teach Arron a lesson by giving him a tiny budget DIY to fix that works for you on his purchase blunder up? Even if he has to go learn from Captain to cut his own lumber. Plus you 2 charging him for your assistance and expertise.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂It would be priceless video content.

A hint on your windowsills - as water drains off the window it will creep around the end of the board and start rotting. Suggest a simple fix. Get a battery powered rotary saw and cut a slot a half inch under the edge. The water will run to that and drip. Not into the wall or the whole sill. Slot is on the bottom edge.

Hello from the UK. I don't know if you've already painted the old abandoned farm buildings but I think you mentioned painting them green. In the UK we've found that a darker gray actually blends into the background better than green even when looking from above from drones and planes.

Buildings are looking great. Nice storage !

One hell of a team, you guys must have ESP the way you each anticipate the movement(s) of each other. Some times I have to go back and review what just took place.

Amazes me when you say “3” of rain this weekend” or “5” this week “. That would be declared a state of emergency in CA.

County security system and key hiding places at the finest.

Glad to see you saved them buildings price of stuff today be a lot of money to rebuild lot cheaper to fix what’s there plus it nice our four fathers built them people are ripping old barns down I’d like to see them saved

Looking good!

The Empire is ever expanding and improving

ATTENTION GUNNER: Aaron is NOT afraid of snakes! 😂. Also, John Henry Miller did a wonderful job Mike!

That farm is really coming along nicely

Great video as always DP and Aaron

One Major suggestion with that new Long barn you are Enclosing get some nice tall steel poles. and some I beam and make your self a over head crane on on trolleys just a little at a time. I made one from Mobile home frame (Not the strongest but it will handle quite a bit for cheap steel until it doesn't. Just an example) just think about it I believe it would be one heck of an asset. Just a thought.

Wow, what a difference you guys have made with those buildings.

Looking really good.👍👍👍👍

Thanks 👍

All good things take time but it’s looking great. MBTS is invaluable to you. Love the channel

That new long through and through shed, would be good for parking a long truck and trailer.

Looks great 👍

You have a great piece of property and your making it great again 😊

I'm sure Gunner will warm up to selling those karts , if you tell him how many snakes he can buy with the sale money .

One ?? DP how flooded does the farm buy get and the highest in the pass? Maybe Spay foam the shop part and install a waste oil heater and a cheap central AC system. She’ll be golden.

Both sites look really good, I watched when you did the wetlands those clay tiles have worked their magic. And isn't it good when you get a good contractor in, I know he's a mage but he did some awesome work. Really like the roof frame in the big barn, looks a bit like a cathedral. Its always nice when you have a dream and it comes together. 👍
