❤ I just saw this quote that reminds me of you and Tim. "My goal is to build a life that I don't need a vacation from." 😊
That is beautiful thank you for sharing
Awe, I love that!! ❤
Great job on your progress and having a husband who can make your dreams come true 😊
Valerie I think your water barrel has a spout that you can attach a garden hose to.
Everything is coming together beautifully. I’m so happy for your family. Love your videos. ❤❤❤
Yes
Valerie, you and Tim are such an inspiration. Love you and your family!
You guys are amazing. From a condo city girl to a country duo. You look magnificent in the country and you will never ever finish your work. I know for a fact. Hard honest work is great for your body and soul. Take your time, pace yourselves. You two have years to build and grow things. No hurry, patience is a wonderful virtue. My husband is 73 and I am 67. We are thankful that we can still work on our place and projects. I know your family will work hard to help you too. I just love watching your videos. They are never boring, I don’t know how you do it. Like I said you’re amazing. ❤
Agree 100%, just love the calm videos. ❤
We are so excited to see things you and Tim have planned on begin to happen! Cant wait for the animals to come! Wish you both had more help! What a great life you all have and you all deserve it!!
You and your husband are both such hard workers! Great job, guys!!
I wish there was someone close by that could help Tim with this hard, heavy work! Just too much for one man. God bless you all! 🥰
They have three teenage sons.
Where are the boys?
@@annahanu1808 At school during the day,but they could help with the heavy stuff after school and because they don’t want to be on camera,she could just film the next day,showing the results.🤷🏼♀️
@@lauramitchell6725 How do you know they don't?
@@annahanu1808 Living their life. This channel is not about the boys. How do you know they don't help? Valerie and tim do enough they do not need to show what their boys do for them.
I can't wait to see everything come together either Tim and Valerie...always love seeing you❤
Paint the shed red like a little barn with a sign hanging over the door that say sweet willowberry farm
Great idea!
If you water at dusk, they might get mildew on them. Most gardeners only water in the morning so the sun can dry the water up, I do raised beds for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers onions, and garlic. JMO. There’s a lot of research on UA-cam for it. Raised beds aren’t the same as planting in a garden.
Congratulations 24K……..I’m so happy for y’all 🙏🏼🌷😻
BTW……I just love MILO, he is so beautiful.
Thank you so much!!
Hi great projects you & Tim accomplish he works so hard at what he does you 2 are such a dream team ❤
Just a thought, if you raise your IBC totes at least 3ft off the ground.. you will have more water pressure for the flow of water.
You have such a lovely piece of land,and the views are awesome!!Enjoy and can’t wait to see what you all do next.Rock on.🤩😖🎉💌
Another lovely video! Thank you for sharing your lives with us, Valerie! God bless you! & yours!
Amazing the things you are accomplishing!! Before you know it you will be harvesting vegetables and having fresh eggs from your chickens 🐓 So darn cool!!
I would encourage you and Tim to use all of the roof surface. Place one rain 🌧 barrel on one side and one on the other. You are going to want a slight slope to get the water💧 to flow into the catch basin. Repeat it on the other side. Otherwise the tanks are competing for the water 💧on one side and the other side is being wasted. You want to take advantage of every square ⬛️ inch you can place a rain 🌧 gutter. The barrel we used provided plenty of water 💧 for our food forest.
This is great advice!
The barrel was a great idea. 😊
Valerie if you do try the water hoses idea make sure they are the big round hoses not the skinny ones you wouldn't get any pressure with them the heavy duty ones are durable and last for years they Re heavy but will save many trips good luck
You and your husband are such an inspiration. I swear there is nothing you two cannot do. Thank you for this channel. I look forward each week to your video.
I love your channel so much you and Tim do a great job your boys are blessed to have you two as parents
Valerie I'm truly happy that your dreams are coming true . I'm enjoying watching your homestead grow with the changes. ❤❤❤
Val, your videos are SO soothing. Love the beginning scenery and music. I truly think that God blessed these videos and tells us to focus on the beauty of His creation and the sweetness of HIS people instead of the craziness of this world. Thank you!
Hey I just watched Texas garden guy fill a raised garden bed. I tried to share but couldn't. He put cardboard down,then wood chips then compost then your soil on top. I know I missed a step but not sure what. There is a cross stitched that uses beds like you and she has a video how they fill them. I know she fills them up with a lot of plastic then adds other stuff. That channel is Stitching with the housewives. Might be worth looking at. Love your channel.
Two watering cans, one filling with water while watering the plants with the other. 💚
Valerie you and Tim are doing a great job love love your videos
Milo loves the sunbeams just like my kitty.
Concrete blocks should be installed with holes facing vertical for maximum structural integrity. If it is not too late, you might want to change the blocks so that they do not break from the weight of the building.
That's just what my husband said the blocks laying that way are at the weaknesses the webs is where the strength is he was a mason for over 20 years
The concrete blocks should be standing upright rather than laying on their side. My husband worked at a factory that made concrete blocks. He said the strength of the block is when they are upright. If they are laid on their side they could easily collapse from the weight on them. I hope you see this and look into it before you build on top of them. I would hate for you to have issues later on.
These are all really great.
Ideas. Thank you for sharing!
So glad to see you again in your springtime adventures THAT WARM MY HEART❤
Tim and you work great together.
I have 2 rain barrels that fill from a gazebo with a metal roof in my yard. My only problem, I didn't make the platforms high enough. Since the system works on gravity the closer the tank is to the roof the better. Our current platforms are 18 in. This summer I'm draining the barrels and raising the platform to 28 in. I'd also recommend placing a tank on each side of the shed. Make use of the water coming off the other side of your roof. Make sure to have an over fill hose near the top. I love my system and I think you'll love yours. Put the same system by the chicken coop. They will need water too. Tim is so handy, he amazes me. It's like a ballet watching the two of you working together. You two make a great pair.
why not attach a hose to the rain barrel so you dont have to use the watering can
Thank you Mr.Tim for wearing a hat. My husband is having a lot of skin cancer removed from his head this year. So thank you
You can attach a regular hose with nozzle to the water barrel until you get soaker hoses
You guys are making a wonderful life there in the mountains
Love watching everything you do , hope your sons can help at weekends ❤
It’s so nice to see your place coming together. I know as a family, you will remember these moments and all the hard work your family has done to get it the way you like. I know those boys of yours work so hard to help you and Tim get these projects done. With your boys busy schedule at school and after school activities, I know they are working hard right along with you. I’m glad you are respecting their privacy. We don’t need to intrude on them!!! Your journey has been inspiring to me and I’m sure for many others. Keep up the great work and have a blessed Sunday❤😊
My dad taught us growing up to only water the garden the day it was planted. The reason is if you start watering your plants every day they will depend on it. He said let mother nature take care of it. The strong will survive.
Delighted to see Tim up and well valarie amazing job you both do love your Channel
Things are coming along! Take good care of your health, too! Much love. :)
Fruit trees are cheaper to buy in the fall and they are sorta dormant and will kinda take hold so when spring comes they can start blooming, sometimes you can get good deals even on the cheap trees because the nurseries don’t want to house them threw the winter, so my husband really does a good deal with them.😊 also I love that lady’s idea of a sign on your barn when you get it painted of calling it sweet willow berry farm.
A couple 100 ft water hoses from the house to garden a sprinkler on the end will water it all at once
You have one of the most beautiful places you can ask for. I do love looking at this beautiful picture you have here yes I know its not but I can see it. God bless you both 🙏❤️🌹
Love your channel
Yayayay🎉🎉 I missed you! ❤❤❤❤ how is Tim? Better I hope. Your plants are looking very happy in your garden. ❤❤❤ I miss you cooking! My hubby does too as I always make him something good too!
❤
Valerie and Tim, you are building a beautiful life together ❤
Y’all make some great neighbors!
❤lifeatthenutthouse
Ahhhhh what better way to spend my Sunday morning watching you 😊
You both inspire me so much. I am looking into buying a double wide on .37 of an acre. I'm older and alone, so perfect for me. But the house is what needs work. I'm about to turn 65 and I just keep saying, I can do it...I can do it. lol (2 sons will help) God willing, we'll see. In the meantime, you ARE doing it. Beautifully, I must say.
Poor Tim he needs some one that can help him that’s a lot work for one man 😅
I love your area so much..Aww MILO!😊 Those tanks work well.Bring them on inside( the goats) when they are babies..😊 They mow well& fertilize. It takes time,can't do all at once.We want to but not possible. Where does Tim get his energy Val ? Your good down home cooking...😋👍🌴🌸🦜🐞
This is so exciting, can't wait to see the shed done. Great work Tim and Valerie. 💖
You can tell you are so happy
Brilliant,
Great fun building together that's how you learn.Why don't you also catch water from the chicken shed.if you have a barrel why not use it. 😅😅😅
Looking amazing......
I've gardener for years. Never watered twice a day unless its super dry
Great job as always!❤
its lovely when dreams come true , will be amazing when you get everything up though hard work , but you will know its a dream you both made happen , with the shed been there how will you get the lawn mower past to mow grass when orchard put in ?, or is that in the plan has well lol ,loved how you put in the pictures of the shed and how it will look
Water with Miracle Gro for porch flowers.
Great job and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
HI beautiful family it's good seeing you guys again hope everything is well 💕 I am doing good love the vlog
From this viewpoint, you did not mistake! You and Tim have made such a beautiful home for your family. God bless you all.😊
I wonder if there's a way y'all can attach a spigot to the water tanks, that are gonna go by the garden shed, you can screw a hose to with a spray nozzle, you can use to water the plants. 🤔
🌻
❤❤You and Tim are such hard workers! Love to watch all of your progress. You all have done alot in the past year! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! One of my most favorite utube videos to watch! ❤❤
Hey Valerie. I enjoy all of your videos 📹 good to see you and Tim working together again 👍 as always.
Another great video, thanks Valerie 😊see u all next time 👋
I'm a first time gardener but what I read said only water in the early morning and don't water on the leaves. It said if you water plants at nite they can get moldy and if you water on the plant directly you can scorch their leaves. Now I don't know if it's certain plants they're talking about or all but you may check it out and I'll do the same. Good luck with your gardening!
Your garden area looks so quaint. It's adorable looking, the garden is 😊☺️🌸🌼🌹
Yes EXACTLY 💯 the windmill looks picture PERFECT by the garden simply Beautiful.
I get so tickled at the sped up Tim doing stuff don’t ask me why but it cracks me up every time lol
Val, From the way it looks on this video, the garden shed does not look very wide. Go wider while you are at it. You will be surprised at how fast you will be filling it with all the garden equipment. In this case bigger is better. Also when you bring the rain barrel down to the garden area, take two watering cans with you. As you are using one, the other one can be filling up with water.
Great job❤
It’s exciting to see you making your dreams come through. Take a break while the rain waters your garden.❤ Milo is adorable.
I feel so peaceful watching your videos
Great job your sheds going to be very handy 💕
I really enjoyed watching more next time
Valerie, Tim is doing a great job on the foundation and the garden shed is going to be perfect! Looking forward to seeing the finished shed.😊❤
Keep the boys safe on the trampoline and please please put sides on it!
Good morning,
I love watching your videos!!!
I have a well that we attached a rain bird sprinkler system to. ( our well is not close to our home). It not only waters our grass, separate tubing to our large flower pots, a drip line for our trees and we ran black tubing underground to our garden and put a faucet next to our garden bed on our property. All on an automated sprinkler system. Before winter we have it blown out like a sprinkler system so it won’t freeze. Everything is watered on 10 zones and no hoses except by my garden. Best investment EVER!
Well, my dig and i have to drive to the local library to watch YT (or get any internet), and I was thrilled to see tour upload! Such a beautiful dream coming true for you and your family! You are both such workers & have come so far with your home & property! We have a little dog like Willow (different breed), love him to pieces! Enjoying the journey with you! God bless you all & Tim's momma, too! 🪻🌷🪻
Your soil looks like iron and probably has a lot of iron in it too. What a job to dig!
Looking good Valerie and Tim!!! All the hard work is really paying off!!! Great idea with the water barrel!!!😊 yall are really getting so mad things dine on your homestead!! I enjoy seeing your progress each week!!! Yall are doing a fantastic job!! Take care and God bless!!!😊❤
What beautiful views you have! It is so encouraging to see the progress that you and Tim are making. Can't wait to see the next video!
Well I agree with everyone else it is heartbreaking to see these two work so hard when they both look like they have many physical issues. I pray neither of them have a heart attack. I hope they are getting some help too. I enjoy the videos and they have a beautiful place. ☮️
Yea I see that too. He looks like it could happen any day. Hope not but maybe get a good checkup? and hers is arthritis she said. That is painful.
PLEASE reread your comments as if someone wrote it about you. Just because you pray for them doesn't make it ok to say such awful things to them. We don't know their health status, but we do know Valerie was a nurse. They make these videos to share their joy, not to get unwanted personal attacks. Would you also pray for them if they were couch potatoes instead? Probably. Please stop judging them. And that's exactly what you're doing under the guise of worrying about them. Let them be happy.
@@fayeunderwood5656I don’t think I am judging them it is plain to see they are not healthy. And I am concerned for them. I hope they both are okay. I respect them and the work they do and I sure they must get some help from their boys. ☮️
@@widowswatch6610 Please remember that they read these comments. So you're talking TO them, not about them. Being less harsh is the Christian way to be.
Good to see you walking much better!
Your property is so beautiful ! You both work so hard ❤️ Love your videos ❤️
Valerie....the garden plants are looking healthy....good job...and that shed....yall will use that alot...when you have a garden...its almost a must to have a shed LOL.....cant wait for the next video!! Loving your channel!!
Hi Valerie and Tim. Your garden is looking great!!! Tim is a hard worker. He needs someone to help. The boys or someone. You sure have done so much work sense moving in. To the house and outside. Enjoy the Weekend.
Great job on y'all's progress. You and your husband are hard workers. Everything is coming together nicely! 🙂👍 I'm glad y'all are now living the dream of owning a homestead on a beautiful peace of land. ❤ I know in the last video before your last one, I said, I thought the windmill looked good where it was after you gotten it put together but It looks good closer to the fence too. 👍
Everything is looking fantastic can't wait to see the flowers and the veggies sending all my love and many blessings to you all ❤❤❤
Enjoyed it.
Love love watching all your projects and working together!!
