    The good part of more videos would be a historical record of daily build. Right now every single step is fresh but it might be a blessing to you to have more videos of the build as years fly by. Of course do what works best for you. We greatly have enjoyed watching y’all achieve your dreams💞

It’s amazing getting to see all that is involved in the building process. That’s going to be one fine sturdy home and it’s wonderful that your neighbors have knowledge and abilities to offer help and advice. We’ve watched your channel for years and truly enjoy seeing your adventures and journey to your land/home.

    As I’ve said before you both hit the jackpot having James & Doreen as friends & neighbors.
    Talk about Devine intervention. We love Colorado & would live there if not for our deep connection to family & not wanting to leave them. Your home is a going to be a work of art & a stronghold from inclement weather. I’ve so enjoyed watching your journey to get to this point! Only the best for you all.♥️

But the reasons your videos are always wonderful are: 1. you and Baron and Kamp, and 2. The gorgeous attention to detail you pour into editing. Both are essential. Quality is more important than quantity. Love you guys ✌

    Is the rebar in the walls embedded into the foundation simultaneously? Maybe you should put up some internal cross beams where the ceiling will be to reinforce the entire structure walls so they won't cave in or fall before you make them 2 stories?

  • @idontknowwhatimdoing.imlau3911

    If editing the videos is the part you find fun, then edit and post when it is finished. For me, I watch because I enjoy your content (editing included!) Not because you post every week. I feel like making videos just to get them out every week goes against every reason why I watch your channel. Continue to do what makes you guys happy 😊

    I really appreciate the artistic creativity shown in the editing of the videos, Elsa you really are very talented. With as much content as there is on youtube and just content in general, I think NOT having content every day or even three times a week is worth the indulgence that comes from the cinematic nature of your videos, even if it's less frequent :)

    I'm amazed at all the cinderblocks, rebar and concrete that this house will be made of. I cannot imagine any kind of weather that could take this house down. It will be nice to see upon completion and watch you furnish it. Sitting by the fire on a snowy winter day, you can sip wine and reminisce about all the work that went into it.

    Elsa, you're an artist. Not all UA-camrs are artists at your level. I think you need to edit to the extent that it feeds your soul, because that is the whole point of having the lifestyle you and Barron have. Some things need to be done, true, but editing is really under your control. Why not take advantage of that?
    BTW, I love love love all the spots with James and Barron! He may be my favorite male partner with Barron!

    haha! I was just going to comment that if there ever was an apocalypse, I'm coming to YOUR house but then I thought better of it. And then two seconds later, Elsa said it! Yes, that house will be the last one standing. Blessings to you both!

    You guys are such a great team 🙏
    So impressive watching the house go up! Also, I really appreciate the editing/length/effort of your typical videos! More stuff more often is fun too lol, but you can really see the love you pour into these ♥️
