00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:49,491 and I think the gold will very much help with that. 148 00:06:49,493 --> 00:06:52,828 But there's a lot of other projects we're working on as well. 149 00:06:52,904 --> 00:06:55,372 The hardest part is actuall trying to convince everyone 150 00:06:55,374 --> 00:06:57,791 the gold mine, this is the time to do it. 151 00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:01,670 And that is a goal of

00:07:09,553 could mean putting other projects on hold 155 00:07:09,596 --> 00:07:14,182 and Brother Gabe is trying to beat the freeze. 156 00:07:14,217 --> 00:07:15,767 [Gabe] Well, right now I'm clearing a path up to 157 00:07:15,844 --> 00:07:18,895 the house site that I picked out, uh, for Raquell and I. 158 00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:21,523 Ideally, I'll have some small piece of machinery, 159 00:07:21,525 --> 00:07:25,360 like, maybe Noah's tractor, come up here and help me level things off. 160 00:07:25,437 --> 00:07:27,028 But I don't wanna make too much of an impact in here. 161 00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,197 That's what Raquell and I like about the area, 162 00:07:29,274 --> 00:07:32,075 how foresty it is, it's perfect for our little gnome cottage. 163 00:07:32,077 --> 00:07:37,122 So, I definitely don't want a big bulldozer rolling in and tearing everything up. 164 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:38,832 So, as little impact as possible. 165 00:07:38,834 --> 00:07:40,775 Which right now is just one man and a machete. 166 00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:45,839 No, Raquell and I are really excited to start working on our home site. 167 00:07:45,916 --> 00:07:50,760 It's been a long time coming and it's definitely the, the first step for the future. 168 00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:53,638 I just imagine walking into the woods 169 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,765 and you hear those birds achirping. 170 00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:58,560 And, you know, I'll go home, walk through the door, 171 00:07:58,637 --> 00:08:01,104 and Raquell's baking cookies and the kids are playing. 172 00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:04,733 That's definitely what I see the potential of this land to be. 173 00:08:07,029 --> 00:08:09,613 House site's five feet away over there. 174 00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:12,115 And don't you know, it'd be this guy in my way. 175 00:08:16,747 --> 00:08:20,707 This is the beaver method, you have to kinda chew away at it. 176 00:08:20,709 --> 00:08:21,875 You know, using the beaver method 177 00:08:21,952 --> 00:08:24,961 is not as fast as having an actual beaver. 178 00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:28,798 Not much wood could a Gabe-chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. 179 00:08:30,093 --> 00:08:33,094 Most important thing in my mind right now on the house build 180 00:08:33,096 --> 00:08:34,804 is just to get the foundation down. 181 00:08:34,806 --> 00:08:38,683 If I can get a good foundation poured before the snow flies, 182 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,811 I'm gonna be able to build through the winter and it's not gonna stop me. 183 00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:43,429 I'll be able to keep buildin 184 00:08:43,506 --> 00:08:46,191 If I don't get a foundation in, kiss that dream goodbye. 185 00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:50,320 [breathing heavily] We got maybe one more run through. 186 00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:52,822 It's gonna be clear, Noah can bring his tractor on up. 187 00:08:56,745 --> 00:08:59,454 [Bam] Now, the top piece still seems to be connected. 188 00:08:59,456 --> 00:09:02,499 [stammers] That should stand directly underneath that looking up, but... 189 00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:05,502 [narrator] With plans to set up an irrigation syst 190 00:09:05,546 --> 00:09:07,337 and a hay field on the mountain, 191 00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:10,215 Brother Bam hopes to fix a malfunction 192 00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:13,760 with one of the ranch's main sources of water. 193 00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:17,430 A big step for the ranch is to be able to grow our own food, 194 00:09:17,432 --> 00:09:19,641 our own hay up on the mountain. 195 00:09:19,643 --> 00:09:22,727 But the amount of water we're able to produce at the moment, 196 00:09:22,804 --> 00:09:24,187 there's no way we could do that. 197 00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:26,648 The main well, it's not functional any more 198 00:09:26,725 --> 00:09:29,818 because the force of the wind broke the wood at the bottom 199 00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,195 and it detached the wood where they had it screwed together. 200 00:09:33,699 --> 00:09:36,116 So, it's actually very simple how this is supposed to work. 201 00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:39,619 Uh, the pump is basically powered just by being pulled up and down. 202 00:09:39,696 --> 00:09:42,914 And then the rod just connects to the top of the windmill 203 00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:44,874 and it's made to where it bobs up and down 204 00:09:44,876 --> 00:09:48,003 and pulls the pump as the windmill turns. 205 00:09:49,298 --> 00:09:51,923 The last storm that came through, which was pretty strong, 206 00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:57,095 was just too much for it and it broke the windmill where the wood connects. 207 00:09:57,172 --> 00:09:59,723 Well, that's not a very strong piece of wood to begin with. 208 00:09:59,766 --> 00:10:04,019 The amount of force it was probably dealing with was just way too much for it. 209 00:10:04,095 --> 00:10:07,022 If our only option is using better, stronger wood 210 00:10:07,024 --> 00:10:09,649 then that's what we'll do. If this piece was replaced 211 00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:11,943 with a much larger piece of wood. 212 00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:15,822 Run that up, just do away with this whole part. 213 00:10:15,824 --> 00:10:19,409 I am very excited about being able to grow our own hay on the mountain. 214 00:10:19,411 --> 00:10:21,244 When the windmill is working again 215 00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:23,955 I think we can easily set u irrigation systems. 216 00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:27,083 We have plenty of land.
