I would rather look at pictures of different homesteads than go to an art museum. To me, your homestead is art with an eye for engineering while maintaining the rustic beauty. I call it man art (with a sprinkle of Lori art). Slàinte Mhath

Amen, and.. even if it were just you alone worshipping the father there would still be three gathered in his name, you, the son and the holy spirit gathering to worship the Father so, anywhere you are giving thanks and blessing his name He is there, right in the midst!! 💚 Although, to be fair, I read this scripture today and in context to be true to the word of God this is actually talking about church discipline and the establishment of it by 2 or 3 witnesses as was Jewish custom at that time. For something to be brought against someone, sin it had to be established by the witness of two or three to be valid. The scripture before and after this verse in Matthew clarifies the context. Matthew 18:15-20. Its speaking to the Omnipresence of God in the midst of church discipline that in such a case, that God will be among them as they seek unity in making biblical decisions in the church.

🤣🤣Frankie two step. If anyone can grow on rock it’s the Boss family. The green house is beautiful.

Nice touch with the front end loader. Boss made moving those stones look easy.

I missed frankie.....we love you Frankie!!!!

You my friend are a stone master with or without equipment. Loved the stick to make sure each stone is just right. But what I enjoy even more is the excitement you share and I am so happy for you and Lori. Be safe and as always thank you for sharing the journey. Keep making memories.

Nice way to start Saturday with y'all smiling Boss, Lori and fur babies 😁 Thank you for sharing your beautiful place and fur babies. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Oh yeah that's a beautiful sight in the greenhouse. Stay safe. In our thoughts and prayers. God Bless y'all and the fur babies ✌❤😁

Good morning JC and Lori. Nice to see you have folks from England and Ireland saying hello. And then there is me saying hello from 40 miles away! Not that I wouldn't mind having a Black & Tan and shepherd's pie in an cozy Irish pub :-) When I lived in England , my favorite was hard cider and Yorkshire pudding on a rainy day, next to a fireplace. And someday- someday, enjoying a hot cup of tea and venison stew at your cabin '-). You mean...New Hampshire has STONES ?? :-O I thought our farm cornered the market on stones... Your progress looks great! Our raised beds are going in this month. Our first calf arrived yesterday. A fine Hereford hefier. !9 to go, if we don't have twins! Your green house project came out fantastic! Take care- Diane

Hey Boss, just admit it. The "little boy" was coming out in you and you just had to play in the mud. Nothing wrong with that. Let kids be kids and have fun! LOL. As you were describing your plans of how it's going to look when it's finished, I could see it all in my head. I've always had a knack for seeing the finished project before it's ever started. Those that are able to do that (because some people can't), know what has to be done throughout the project, to reach that goal. I like your thought process and the way you plan things. It pays off in the end! The greenhouse is gardening is looking great! Have a great day!!!

Your videos are so encouraging. I don't know what I would do without a Frankie and the Boss video each week. Thank you for being you!

Can't wait to see the harvests you achieve this year with such a great start

What more can I say other than “Fantastic “ . It’s all coming together great! Happy Mud Season and Happy Easter.

U must be very proud of yourself and of course wife with all the work u accomplished ,, take a bow . It's a work of art , some men have it & some just don't . I just sit & watch and say to myself WOW . I JUST TURNED 80 so it's time to relax ,, hahaha . The way the weather is acting ,,I would make those ditches bigger in case one yr. U get a lot of snow and rain . Every so often that happens to us and water comes like a little river flooding around both sides of the house .

@thebossoftheswamp

Agreed. The ditches will be much bigger in the future.

Before I retired I did some designs for "underground" greenhouses for hillsides in Northern US locations. We designed them to be hydroponic with large thermal mass walls to minimize need for heat using the sun to supplement pellet feed boilers. You could do them with conventional dirt growing though. They are perfect for shallow soils and northern - cold climate. I am talking to some other folks in New Hampshire about the potential to do them up there. Could be an idea for a future year for you.

Thanks for another Great video Boss and Laurie ! We cant wait to see the Beautiful gardens You Will have soon! Blessings to You and the Pups! Have A Wonderful week. Joe & Kelly

Great plan, Boss! All coming together nicely ...will look very pleasing to the eye too! Man, that greenhouse is fabulous, I see groceries on every shelf! 😋

Some exciting news to share - we closed on our off-grid homestead that we have built from the ground up for the last decade on Good Friday! What a gift and a blessing! We kept our eyes on the prize and are now gearing up to build our new off-grid cabin on raw wilderness land once again! The greenhouse and garden are mapped out and we are READY! It is exciting watching it all come together and I can totally relate to your excitement! Really excited for you both and now that my craziness is over and before the next round begins I WILL be in touch! God bless and Happy Easter!

Qué chulada de trabajo se avienta el señor qué suave se la pasa y qué buenos projectos a echó qué dios le dé fuerzas y vida para qué haga más

Hello! Boy does your video bring back a lot of memories! We also lived on Ridge line on granite, but in Vermont. While creating a flat space for the cabin we hit a steep, deep wall that couldn't be moved. It became the central fireplace and cabin was built around it, lol. We had to create retention walls and drainage creeks too. I eventually created a lovely garden spot with the wild Irises and Peonies. In between the rocks I planted Hens & Chickens and several other Succulents that grew quite well there. You and Laurie will have fun there. Boy do I remember Mud Season! You just cant adequately describe the headaches and how to live through them to people who don't understand it. Have a wonderful Easter, take care of yourselves, and belly rubs to the fur kids. :-)

Man I hope you build an artist Studio on your property, I know you don’t want be that busy again but on those long winter days it could work well for you. Plus it would be a nice warm place, and your wife could be in there reading or doing yoga, knitting crochet you get the drift. Blessings 🇦🇺💖

Always great for us to hear from you JC and see the progress of your projects. God bless a take care friend.

And God bless you both and the Dogs.

After watching you for several years now, there is no doubt in my mind that you can do whatever you want. You seem to be very practical and always have a plan, and it usually works out as planned. Happy Easter Boss and Lori.

lol sure like that backho , that is one of the best one on the market .keep up the good job . god bless, glen

Fantastic job ,done well, mud helps to make stones move so easy. the French drain is the only way to go. Do not use the drain water to water your plants, it well kill them, water with clean fresh water. On the wild yellow iris. They like wet ground. Plant them along the end of your french. I sell mine for .40 cents each, with the greens,foliage, to a local florist, $300 a season. It could pay for gas trip to town. Plant basil in the rock. Basil likes it very warm. Rocks well hold the heat. You might want to consider lowering the day temperature in the green house, your plants won't get leggy. It hardens them, bigger stems. Keep up the good work, you make hard work look so easy. Happy Easter

Thinks for the update. The plants look very happy along with you. Your wall will be beautiful with plants out of the gaps . Miss Lori will have it in full bloom before long. Take care. 🙏🏻Happy Easter 🐇

ain't it nice when daydreams come true ... 🛀🐎 Happy Easter to you and the Mrs ,have have a clear night sky full of stars just waiting for a wish . on Sunday 75 degree's we have blooms Spring has arrived in the South ,Carolina is at her best in spring , with wild dogwoods in the forest blooming for the birds as i travel the back roads with daffodils growing along the roads ,and lavender phlox creeping over the edges as the bees buzz around the wisteria hang from the old trees. well ,it is the one time of year when we can open our windows and let the sun spill in .it'll be a hundred degrees by May. good dirty work this week hope you'll get a dry spell and firm your soil up ,can't wait to see your progress . love to see you so happy with your green house full of dreams and tomato's ...🐥. 🐤. 🐤. 🐣. 🐇

Good to hear from you buddy. I hope all is well with you and yours.

Lot of hard work but looking good. Glad to see the pups!

Nothing like a tractor and Tall boots on a cold muddy day . Having you take the time to explain the water management plan should help folks think through their own projects. There will be plenty of fresh good eats a few months from now . I will have to see the moose , deer and rabbit proof fence ideas on the planning board. Down here in N.C. I think I have the 2nd largest collection of moles and voles per acre !!!! we are getting our first yellow and white butterflies. I hope the national interest in growing food in folks own yard continues . It would be nice if people turn to your videos more often to learn frugal ways of living richly.

i think you have inspired me to build the little green house i have been putting off. Every time i see you in ther i can feel the moist warm air and smell the dirt and plants. Thanks Boss

God bless you I hope everything continues to grow strong and prosperous I’m watching and I’m praying can’t wait to see the next one

"Still got the knack"...? I'll say, you sure do! I was fascinated. I watched a real pro, years ago...build a huge retaining wall in my back yard. (Not where I live now.) I thought he was quite the expert. You sir...are every bit as good. Maybe even better.

Gotta love living in the "Granite State"..

Yay !! The kids make a cameo! Got'choo some mud soup simmering, ack !! Gonna French drain along the base of the wall (uphill side), and use that to divert to either end? Are you shallow enough (to ledge) between the greenhouse and wall, to just remove the soil and add more crushed rock for moisture to travel through? M'be a little garden fabric between the rock and replacement of soil? That Kioti sure saves a feller's back !! Nice work on the start of that wall.

it was so nice to see Frankie....greenhouse looks great.....stay safe

It's going to be gorgeous when it's done, then you can sit back a month on your vegetables well you survey your domain
