I Removed 1 Million Pounds of Trash From My House

After 6 years, 1,000 hours of labor, 1 million pounds of trash removed, and a little over $100,000, my house is trash free.

    Being raised on a farm and having a father that was on the farm during the great depression I know about Junk equipment and what my dad called his bone yard of spare parts and things he might need. These old guys never threw anything away because they were raised and lived when you fixed what you had and you made do with everything. If you ever have the privilege to work with these older folks and realize this country could learn a lot from them about making things work rather then having the throw away society we have today. I really think your father and your grandfather would be busting at the seems proud of you. You have an amazing additude and if more young folks had your mindset this country of ours would turn around and it might sound crazy but it would return to the great place to live I remember . Well done and for what it's worth this old man is proud of you an would love to be able to call you my friend. God bless you and your future dreams.

    Cole, I am a 54 year old mother to 3 boys. My husband and I have been married for 28 years. The year of 2022 was absolutely awful to us as we lost our house in Norcal Jan02,2022 and we became homeless. We fortunately had an old tent trailer which we camped in for 6 whole months. Then my husband went back to work after cv19. So, on 6/24 he fell between 8-30 ft down to the ground. He was hurt so bad and ended up needing emergency brain to to the speech center of his brain. His job put me and our kids into hotel rooms. We got out of the hotel rooms and finally found a large brand new house that would fit me and our 3 kids. We moved in 2 weeks ago. My husband is still in the hospital 6 months later and he is improving but he still can’t walk, talk, eat, swallow and we did what we told ourselves we were going to do. On a good note if you want to take it this way, I lost over 100lbs this year and I look in the mirror and I can’t believe how much I have changed. Wearing cloths I have not been able to wear since before my kids were born. My point here is, we learned what not to do and get into a rental house to have a safe roof over our heads and to get our lives back together. We are doing it.

    This might be one of the most satisfying videos I’ve ever watched. To see this place that has been neglected for so long, cleaned up and restored to its full beauty just fulfills something g deep in me. I’m sure that this farm has done tons of work and all of the things that were used up and left behind are a testament to those generations of hard work. But it’s so nice to see your property be used in a way that honors it’s beauty instead of treating it as a junkyard for all of the discarded tools from all those years of work. What an accomplishment and what an honor to all of the generations of your family who have lived there will live there. Keep up the good work Cole and family!!

    By the picture of your grandpa, I could tell he was from Iowa without ever stepping foot in your state! Homegrown, raised on a farm, meat and potatoes kind of guy. I absolutely adore your channel and I even set up 2 accounts for myself to give you 2 THUMBS UP FOR EVERY VIDEO. Your work ethic is astounding. Your determination to make that farm your own and have it be efficient, safe, clean, and most of all...PROFITABLE! When it's all done, including the house, your grandpa is gonna smile so big from the skies. Cheers from San Diego!

    Been here since the start and it's amazing to me the amount of work you put into the farm. Your Grandpa would be proud of how great it looks. He came from the era of my parents, when hoarding everything was important for those that lived through the great depression and WWII. I've known many people like him, my grandparents were that way. You've been an inspiration to me to try and get my life more organized, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks, good job Cole!

Also, have you thought about getting a big magnet to roam the fields with to pick up nasty screws, bolts, and the like? Much respect to you and your family for accomplishing so much! Looking forward to seeing more and congrats on your darling son!

    The bad part is there will be sinkholes for decades in every one of those spots. As the ground settles over time with rain and snow, it will create voids below that the dirt above will wash down into. Prior generations on our farm have buried things like this (barns, old houses), and we continue to fight settling now. It may take 100 years for that ground to be stable. Makes for a dangerous situation when driving over those spots with heavy equipment too. I commend Cole and his family for the cleanup, but hate to think of what they will be dealing with in coming years. I predict a video called “There’s a hole in my yard!”

When you look back, you'll surprise even yourself. One piece of advice. Do things once! Don't be tempted to empty the truck on the spot and think you'll pick it up later. Put things where they belong, and where you can find them, when next you need it. You'll save a lot of time, and have time to take another forward step, instead of backwards or sideways. Good luck kid. Wish I was your age, so I could have another 50 years of doing some more things on the ever changing bucket list.
