- Today We are partnering with Zip Top Containers. Zip Top are like nothing else in the world as they stand up, stay open, and zip shut! Check out Zip Top at bit.ly/35X9XYp.
In today's video we are showing how to build a bushcraft shelter for our sheep. Our Babydoll sheep need a safe place to get out of the harsh North Idaho winter here on the homestead. We will get back to the tiny home build next!

I will always love your family. And grateful for any & all videos. Whenever Jeremy gets flirtatious, Melissa says "easy now" & he smiles. So sweet. May you always be this in love. ❤️💕😘
Make Sure To Add Cross Bracing So Strong wind doesn't bring it down on your sheep. Great job you two!
Love these videos thanks for sharing
Tractors are the true Rodney Dangerfield of the planet ,Rock on you face changers of the Planet earth Thank you Killer video guys
Jeremy, here is my two cent's. Cut a few more logs in half and use for X brace's on the INSIDE of your walls, cover with the rest of your left over tin from the shop. Get some 1/2 " or bigger rebar 3 foot long, pound in the ground at a 45 angle at each corner. Get some chain, medium duty, slip over your rebar and bend the rebar over a little, then attach the chain to your corner posts with a lag bolt and washer. I think you would be golden then. Nothing but Chaps... sounds like a Chip & Dales kind of thing...HA HA..Keep up the good work you two.
I noticed the absence of diagonal x bracing too. Without it, any strong enough force to any side can cause the whole thing to collapse and pancake. The heavier the roof, the easier it’ll be to overcome those lag screws that are keeping it together right now. Even some leftover 1x4 can be used for corner bracing, don’t have to fully go corner to corner. If you have a some wire, rope or twine, it’ll work for X bracing and you can turnbuckle it for tension. As it is now, anyone can just push on a pole to cause it to lean past the strength of those lag bolts and it’ll come down, might hurt if you’re under it when it happens.
I concur.
As long as the sheep are out of the wind and the wet they will be fine. Feed in the evening so digestion keeps them warm at night. Only fill water buckets half full so if they freeze you can add water to the top and get the ice block out.
Jeremy, were you ever a TV or radio commentator? You have such a melodious, soothing voice. It is a pleasure to listen to you.
Sheep shelter needs some "Z" bracing on sides and back. If not used, snow loads will collapse it. Nice shelter, using quick building ingenuity. Splitting a log with a chain saw takes a lot of concentration. This skill will come in very handy. Have a hardy Thanksgiving. Bless your family and all that you have done this year.
DITTO
Itd be really cool if J put his skills to use for stair treads in the new house, eh? I love half rounds used for treads. Easy way to incorporate some logs into a modern design build. I too complimented his ripping the poles with a saw. It's not easy.
I know you agreed to build some protection for the sheep but I thought your attitude was very bad I wondering if the roles were reversed and they could add shelter for you you might see the situation these are loving little creatures and they deserve the best treatment
Agreed about Z bracing, some in the ceiling if you plan on moving the shelter could help with racking and twisting. Use the metal fragments for the sides and back. Put the bracing inside heavy on the screws. Love your family you give me hope for this world
Love the cinematography 🥰
Me too.
They got skillz
Hollywood look out
The whole video and music just works
Very true
I love you all. I love how flirtatious you two are. It is like a breath of fresh air. Hubby needs to wear just his chaps while working outside. 😀
Those Baby Doll Sheep make me smile every time I see them, they are the cutest.
OMGoodness! You guys crack me up. "Easy, easy" she says to him as he smiles. I laughed out loud. I hope you will always b as happy as you r right now. Makes my heart feel good watching your videos. Thank you.
It’s past midnight over here, but you had me laughing out loud with "the problem with building something out of their food, is that they ate it 🤗😁
😆 🤣
LOL i would be eating my house too if they are made of food, i love the baby dolls!!.. so cute
And they were fat and homeless! Not a good way to go through life. LOL
You need to guy line that structure down. That is a wing without serious anchors. 2 layers of Chicken wire, straw in between and tarp to keep it dry. That is going to have a wind load so be careful.
I love how the dog wants to be with you when your on the tractor. He follows you and the tractor everywhere. How about making a place where he can ride with you. It would kill two birds with one stone. It will keep the doggy safe and allow him to be closer to you where he wants to be not having to follow the tractor. Love the channel.
I love the bush craft hut for the sheep it’s solid enough to stand the test of time as well for cold winters and hot summers
You’re building a manger for Baby Jesus at Christmas!🙏
You both are incredible. I know there has to be so many days that you just want to scream and take the whole day napping because you're so exhausted but you do such an amazing job of keeping each other smiling. I always get so excited when I see there's a new video and you never disappoint!
Love there videos.
I doubt this couple could ever nap all day....too high energy.
Real Handyman building shelter for the sheep.........
Omg, it’s so nice to see your handsome , sweet family dream take shape!
If that was set up so the rabbit hutches were on the lee side, they would have shelter and warmth from the sheep.
First thing anyone in farm tree cutting industry needs is logging chains and plenty of them, for the instance you are cutting trees its easiest to cut entire tree down in the woods and then pull entire tree uphill to a "landing site", when you get trees to landing site that is where you do all the cutting. This way your mess is confined to one spot rather than leaving the "mess" of branches in the wooded area, it allows you to keep a neat and somewhat cleaner woods and bonus is your more productive with your wood cutting because you can set up a work area tailored to just wood cutting (if you want to stack brush for buring that can be done too or chip up brush for woodchip use on trails as chips make perfect use for fire lanes).
You should line the walls with logs, then for extra insulation add bales of hay around the shed for add protection to your sheep...
Just the chaps😂😂😂
5 Star, great idea for future jobs!
What fun?!.....I love the way the sheep act like pet dogs!.....now I want a miniature sheep and an baby alpaca!..... in my dreams at least!....thank you for your videos and thank you 🙏 for just being positive with a sneaky sense of humor.....God bless you abundantly and stay safe and healthy!
The shot of the dog facing the mountains was awesome! Thanks for sharing
FYI: to save time, stack several metal sheets for roofing or siding and drill holes for screws. Helps reduce time up top and aligns screws for finished look.
Sorry, Melissa. But I lol'd when Jeremy spit that Jr. Mint back in the box. That's so something my husband or I would've done to the other. 🤣
Kenji is so adorable. He's always following Boss Jeremy
The tractor lifting logs etc is soo good 👍🏼. What a wonderful time saving blessing 🙏💁♀️
I could listen to the background music and go to sleep... I Love ❤️ it!
LOL, yep, you're one Lucky woman when he said ONLY in his "Chaps". You both are very sweet people and I adore your chemistry together.
LOVE the build with the wood handy. ALL those downed trees would be useful for something. In a pinch building with those are wonderful, PLUS, many prepper things. The Future fire WOOD is a bonus.
Use smaller limbs for the sides if possible. Like maybe a woven fence?
Y'ALL are awesome and I look forward to each of your videos.
GOD bless you and your family this Thanksgiving and into the New Year.
Sincerely, your friend in Arkansas!
At 70, and having to spend most of my time in bed because of my muscle Degenerative thing, I watch a lot of UA-cam videos on my RoKu TV. Y'ALL are a refreshing breeze!
Always happy to see your videos. Hey just thought of the next viral pinterest post for you all....A she shed sheep shed! 😆 🤣 🐑🐑🌲🌲🏔🌨
😆 🤣 😂 awesome
Bice one
How many she sheds can he build as warm sheep sheds.....?
I'm sure they sell some nice warm wool sheep coats on Etsy. 🥰🤣😂🤪🐑
Love it. Using what you have on property. 👍
Your Sheep will be very Haaappy
for the new shelter you built them
It's so Baaaaaaaaaaahhhhh-ntastic
I'll get me some zip tops, I like! Keigh here again in NC. Just wanted to mention how sweet of you, with all you have to do, to take time and effort to build shelter for animals - bless you! Also just wanted to tell you something I know you know, but it's my experience...sooner than you know, those boys are going to be dad's right and left hands! My boys are now 35 and 39. ANYTHING I need they both rescue me. God is so good to us! He blesses us many, many ways, but the best of all is our children. No way can you not unconditionally love them, and for the rest of your life they will still be your children, blessing you themselves, also in many ways, which started the moment they took their first breath! I was so elated when I saw Nevah's school books included the Bible! I promise you that is the absolute best and important thing you will ever be able to give your children...Jesus! I was raised by Christian parents. They always put God first, and only death separated them. My mom was such a prayer warrior, that all the years of my life, until she passed in 2017, I would ask for her prayers. Better than money, lawyers or friends. I do miss her! But I will be back with them soon. I've mentioned before that my health isn't so good, already typed too much, so won't go there. Just please know that I am so grateful you and Nevah are sharing your life with all us UA-camrs. Bless you, thank you.❤
Keith, we will pray for you, and isn't it amazing to know that there is so much more after this life. God bless you, and keep you sir 🙏
@@GoodSimpleLiving oh my, yessir! The Bible tells us a thousand years is but a day in heaven...which means I've only minutes left here. Thank you for prayers. I really do love that you moved to such a beautiful place, away from most of the enemies influences. The area you live is so breathtakingly beautiful, but just think that it's not a drop in the bucket compared to what God has prepared at our forever home with him! May the Lord continue to watch over you and keep you close to him.🏞❤
I love how you guys capture, not only the scenery with your camera skills, the animals & their reactions to what's going on around them, and your humorous flirtation as well. It's pleasing to the eye (the scenery lol), touching to the heart & funny to the bone. Well Done! That's what I call Good Family Entertainment!
Wow, thank you!

Hahaha The sheep thought they had a gingerbread house. You're going to walk out in a few days to find them chewing on the cedar logs with very confused expressions on their faces 🤣🤣. I absolutely love how their new house looks, and I'm sure they love it 👍👏👏👏
You are so thoughtful to your animals, your sheep are soooooooo cute!😜😜😜😜❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
It's looking so good! I admire the way you are working, with patience and respect. So nice to see the father-son moment. Those things make life special.
❤
Yes you are one lucky lady...I think we would all (us ladies) love to see that🤩
😆 🤣 😂
I love how creative you two are...Shelter for the sheep is looking great...I also love that picture of Kensl looking towards the mountains..Great job you two.. Blessings to the family.
Hey , I'm no expert on music , but I do know great when I hear it. Nevaeh has got one of the best voices I've ever heard! I've listened to her sing Hallelujah three times I just don't have the words to express how good she sings .
Thank you!
Great to wake up to and watch eating breakfast. The scenery. 💗☘️
Just a thought...stick the rabbits inside. Their elevated and off the ground.
That’s what I was thinking. They should have done a concrete floor next to the barn and taken out the mobile home and pls e the poor bunnies inside. They are going to freeze.
Cecilia Ortiz they’re not going to freeze rabbits do extremely well in cold temperatures
Be sure to add cross braces to those walls or it will just fold over when some load gets on it.
Agree withrobertwric. You need some crossbracing or diagonal corner bracing or the first strong wind will blow it over. Think triangles for extra strength.
Just an idea, use the sheep's summer shelter for the rabbet's !! Bring it over and put the rabbet house thing inside it and close off one end. Use the roofing stuff for the walls. You already have it and it's water/snow proof. Good job. Stay safe and healthy. God bless
You guys are so entertaining. Melissa you've definitely, the world's best husband.
Love watching you guys from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
now you have your tractor, a very usefull piece of kit is a branch logger, instead of burning all the brash from your felled trees, run it through the logger, depending on the size of the logger, it produces similar sized chunks of burnable timber, no sawing up, no splitting, just shovel it into the fire like coal, its a very good way to use whats normally dumped or burned with no thought as to its actual value
That’s a very tall shelter for those small sheep.
U are so amazing, I can not believe that you got a shelter for your baby sheep. U both have this amazing love that u can do so much. I am so proud of u and looking at your videos. U are so incredible.
Aww thank you ❤
You are so amazing! Wish I could meet you in person! I so look forward to your videos, 70 years old and housebound but you keep me a dreamer! God bless you and your family!
God bless ❤
Maybe drive stakes in the ground front and back corners and brace up the corners
1am on my side of the world and I'm trying not to laugh out loud cause people are sleeping 😂😂😂
😂🤭🤫
Make sure your shelter is spiked down. Even in winter there is high winds. Your place is looking good😊😊😊
Wow tractors have sure improved in the last 57 years!
Jeremy, you have a big ass tractor. All you need now is a good long drag line for logs.
I'm very impressed with yall two. I am 73yrs. AND I have not seen a couple like yall in many years couples now days don't know what Love is yall do everything together and that's beautiful and your family they are so loving to each other. How yall did all this I don't but I hope that couples will see this wonderful and loving family I said I hadn't seen nothing like this causes my mom and dad were just like you two. You are rising a good family. Can't wait to see your new home. I watch yall all the time the only difference is that yall are Utah and my family are from Texas I see yall and it takes me back to my childhood I will see you next week love the whole family
I
Thank you, blessed!
Thank you for taking care of your Animals and providing them with housing. You both are awesome people..
Once again what a beautiful family , you capture true feelings I loved the shot of your doggie sitting staring off in the distance you made the right choice you have a piece of paradise stay safe stay healthy we have almost got this crap beat vaccines are on the way 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
FYI, that will get you thru this winter, but after that don't count on it. Green wood will shrink, screws will loosen and that structure will collapse.
We did that to make a wood shed in Georgia - the tree poles disintegrated in less than 2 years . . . not recommending
Jeremy in only chaps...That would make a great Christmas card picture!!😱 Watching you build the sheep shelter with the tractor was amazing!! A very handy machine! I know the finished product will serve your sheep well! Stay safe, Happy Thanksgiving and see ya next time👋👋👋
😆🤣😂
We'll make a calendar 😆
@@GoodSimpleLiving That is a fantastic idea!! They would be sold out in minutes. Kinda like Jason's wood spoons (Sow the Land)...sold out on Etsy in less than 5 minutes! 😲
So impressed with your use of raw materials. They will be happy.
hey guys Aloha,
Idaho, wow, beautiful landscape. You can build the sheep a good winter home that they won't eat. You both have worked so hard on your homestead, keep it up.
A real homesteader, using what your land gives you
With the price of lumber we hit the "wood wall" too. Purchased last lumber to close in our pole barn and now we're milling and storing for next year...the price of wood is CRAZY! Great shelter and the sheep will over winter wonderfully in it :)
I think you're being fooled over there.
Here in Denmark we import a lot of timber from Canada and our prices have only increased by 10-20% over the last year.
And they say prices are going to increase even more, but it's mainly due to a building boom here. But it's a far cry from the 300 % increase you have in the US.
With every video I watch of you two I find that I enjoy it more than the last. Such as great couple you are. :)
I sit and watch for hours on end----Beautiful
now, that would be a sight worth seeing , JEREMY in nothing but a pair of chaps, i really do love this channel
I just threw up in my mouth a little, lol!
1st: "This is happening Mabel."
2nd: I'm living for your zip top commercial, nailed it.
Lastly: Get that lady her pony!
Yes!! You're my favorite!
Y’all are so crafty. My sheep would be so jealous. I just threw together a pallet shelter for my sheepies.
Tractor paid for its presence right there in that one load...awesome tool for the homestead...👍
I came fast! Your channel is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
Thank you 😊
Anchor those logs like a tent??
I love the video's where you show the animals and the scenery, you have a beautiful property and of course the view...
Great job on the Sheep Shed! They will appreciate your hard work.
They are such sweeties.
Mellisa how about some pallets ,and there free from by stores
I follow another family that just started building in Utah and they just got their new Kubota
Kubota is the cats meow!
Trent and Allie!!!
Those Zip Top containers are really cool. We go through so many ziplock bags weekly. Great idea!
Us too!!
You guys have been doing a brilliant job on lovingly building your forever home.........good luck and Muzal Tov....
I had that same problem..I once lived in a gingerbread house.
😆
I say guys to use the rest of the metal to cover the sides up, easy and fast,
Great video except for the junior mint spit....😆 🤣 😂
They crack me up.
🤪
😁
Sweet. Love that you are utilizing the resources you have. That mountain view is awesome. Stay warm
That's was funny. They really bet feet when he started the chain saw. Kaye
I like the sheep shelter except for one thing, you have got to anchor that thing somehow. I lived up near that area for awhile and a good windstorm and you won't have any sheep.
Great save Jeremy getting out of the way of the falling 🌳 tree ! 😊👍💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing with us your life!
You really need to install cross braces so that it doesn't fall down in the wind.
Man, you worked hard cutting and carrying those trees. That structure needs diagonal bracing immediately or a wind will take it down. Hopefully the metal roofing is good enough to hold the building square but a diagonal bracing there would be a good idea. Redundancy saves lives and buildings. Are you thinking of using the corrugated metal for the sides? If you do, you will need to anchor the building down.
Safety tip: it will be tempting to use the forks with a big pallet for an elevated work platform. If you are going to do this, chain the pallet to the forks so that it can not tip nor slide. Drop the box scraper to the ground for better stability. I also brace the loader with a timber incase of hydraulic failure. Good Luck, Rick
Melissa, I'm sure you know, but your very blessed to have a man like Jeremy who has the skills he does and the temperment to go with the flow! He's a stand-up guy !!
I wish you guys would include Kenji more. He's such a handsome boy!!
Get some straw for bedding - they will eat it, but only in the absence of anything better. Sheep need a lot of ventilation because their urine is high in ammonia, which can give them breathing problems in closed spaces, so solid panel about 4 ft up the wall all round and put staggered vertical planks with an air gap to let some air blow through. Sheep generally have no problem at all with the cold, provided its dry - mine used to walk round the hilltops with a dusting of snow or frost on their backs because wool is such a good insulator. Cold and wet will kill them very quickly. Provided they have dry bedding in their shed, they'll be happy. Keep training them to come when you call them - they're not much more difficult to train than most dogs. I had to because my hill flock ruined two of my sheepdogs (at $2000 a time) by rounding on them and giving them a beating, but were happy to respond to my voice. Best of luck, may your flock increase twofold each year!
Oh no! I had no idea that could happen ?
Oh my gosh, those are the cutest sheep I've ever seen. I was thinking about getting a dog, but... So do they stink? Could I keep one in my enclosed porch at night? Let it out during the day in the fenced yard.
They smell like sheep, but they can't be alone. You have to get 2.
You are a loving couple...congrats
Cool sheep barn,. Should keep them protected from the weather. Good video. Like the wall you got there Jeremy
My husband laughed when Jeremy said he wasn’t buying wood for the sheep, my husband is the same way.
😆 guys
diagonal bracing !!!! it needs diagonal bracing to keep it strong and from falling over. And it could have been 4 feet lower, your sheep are only 3 feet high.
Sheep so beautiful 🐑🐑
Your land is breathtaking. Love the view. You guys make me laugh. Thanks for sharing.
Oh come on now people it's not like they don't swap spit anyway. What's a soggy Junior Mint gonna do?
I would put shorter tin on the walls
You need a simple chainsaw jig, which you can get through Amazon for about $45.00 and be able too make your own lumber. It's really not that difficult, I've been doing it with trees that have been trimmed. Take care and God bless amen.
Another good watch. Stay warm guys
Great work on a sheep shelter, you could even make it even shorter, and then use the metal for the walls, and then lay some nice layers of bedding for warmth, or shorten the sides and use plywood scraps for the walls 😊👍💕💕💕
