The two of you are NOT building a house! ... you are building memories while writing a love story.
Haven't commented in a while but this deserves a WOW!! The drone footage of Alyssa up on the roof was awesome. Really impressed with what you guys are able to do.
What a wife!!! Climbs an untested ladder, with nail splits in the rungs, on a slippery roof, while hauling up roof panels and tools...then cooks you dinner. She's the perfect woman.
That's why they call it a CATapult.
Jesse and Alyssa...my wife and I enjoy your videos daily. We have huge respect for your hard work and stamina. Keep going!
Why on earth don’t u guys wear tool belts?!? Much better than trying to pull screws out of shirt pockets. For one...
I will never understand people who "thumbs down" videos produced at this level. Thanks for the great effort....Thumbs UP.
It's called jealousy, that is the only reason they do it.
They are all snowflakes.
probably still people "playing at homesteading" ;o)
I think because they are jealous of anyone who gets off their butts and accomplishes rather than whines.
Definitely keep this video series for your future kids to watch later. A day will come when they will want to see all you did to give them a home. True love comes with hugs and kisses, dedicated love comes from a forklift. :)
Some day, your children will watch these videos, and become amazed at how Mom worked the peak of the house while roofing. They will gain soooo much respect for you both.
The drone shots were superb!!
What an incredible woman you've found Jesse !! That deserved hug at the end brought tears to my eyes !! No way I could have done what she did !! Oh crap... you are only 1/2 way there plus a lot of trim pieces !
Oh yes indeed. She is such an incredible woman, that never loses it. Always the smile, even when she obviously isn't responsible for the goof. Lets not forget Jesse's sister, who has given so much to this project. Thank you too Anna, I'm sure Jesse and Alyssa have said thank you many times. What a great team on this build. Just seeing that half of the roof finished is a great relief for my wife and me. I just had to call out to my wife to come and see the roof at this stage. You go guys, USA is rooting for you...Ken
Hey Jessie Hey Allysa good video I liked it and I didn't know that that is Jessie sister there so that's good you got a family member helping you out there so you all stay safe now
you are in the pacific northwest get n indian artist to carve you a totem then you will have your very own totem pole.:-)
wow Alyssa you are amazing. I dont think people realize how hard that is. Just the physical aspect of climbing around up there with tools . Never mind the absolute terror of staring down 100 feet if you slip up. It even looks three times as high because of how your house is situated.. So much credit to you . So much credit to you both. Great job. slow and steady..be safe..
One of my favorite vids, and I think I've seen every one of them. I just discovered that Anna is Jessie's sis! What a great help and excellent skills. Everything I like was in this video- well 'photographed', Bugaboo loves, teamwork, effective problem solving, super drone footage, garden visit, Jessie/Alyssa huggies, perfect music, and expert editing.
Alyssa, you are a ROCKSTAR!!!
Another great video. Thanks for editing Alyssa.
My old Sergeant Major used to preach about something called "The Seven P's". Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. I've applied that to all aspects of planning and am generally successful. Not applying it is usually a guarantee of failure!
Hey we care about Alyssa
Alyssa is a beast. This woman is very impressive
R.I.P. Oh great tree annoyance. You can take the tree and make something to trip over as you exit the house. That way it can always remain something that is an annoyance.
I completely understand holding off on cutting that tree down... I hate removing a tree from my property. Alyssa, is a beast without question!
Screw count 39145
Good call on the tree, a rationale decision.
Ya'll have been making me dizzy with height for weeks. I can't imagine what it was like to actually be up there. All I can say is I hope your connection to Jesus was more sure than your connection to the sips before you did those last three panels. I wouldn't want to get up there without my salvation being absolutely tight.
Glad you got that tree down. You are correct, it was going to die anyway after all the assaults on it, and if it had lived, it would have damaged your foundation. I thoroughly understand leaving the shade until the bitter end, however.
A yodel when you are on top.... fill the valley with song! LOL
Grandmother built a house in 1947 with new fangled aluminum siding that had a 50 year paint warranty. After moving up in homes the house was rented. In 95 her situation changed causing her to move back to a smaller house. The paint was almost gone and would wash off more with every rain. She goes to the file and pulls out the written warranty. I contacted the company who denied the claim without cause. Our attorney said she would probably win but attorney fees were not covered and would cost more than the new siding job. She refused the fight; I would have fought even if it cost double but that's me.
You're a brave woman.
Wow! That's great, able to get 1/2 of the roof done and the big Jessie/Alyssa hug at the end. No bickering/yelling/cursing... I love it!!
I was wondering how you were going to tackle those last few panels. I'm glad it worked out okay for you. :)
You guys are just amazing. Nice drone shots!!!
Awesome shots and editing work!
Every time I see the cat, I immediately worry about hawks and other birds of prey that might be big enough to hurt him if not carry him off. I've seen a house cat attacked by a huge hawk.... so sad and not pretty. He's such a lovely kitteh.
Enjoying your saga along with you as my wife and self having experienced building our own house, can basically say we finished this year , started in 81 , still married lol, nice roof , only real drawback in our area is hail for newer types of metal roofs,we have metal roofs on some houses around here that are definitely 150 + years old , work safe ,trees too close to a house are a no no , and the bigger they get the more damage and expense involved.If this is your forever home start planning final overall landscaping,I moved some trees around at beginning ,in my spare time lol - days when your shut down because of anything -Will be glad when your off of roof, you were lucky with beam cutting ,used to live in a mill town and nearly all had pieces of fingers missing,usually crushed,if the work is too labor intensive ,ditch digging ,splitting wood get machinery, My physique changed and I became a bear, be advised. Looking good , our cat Tiger from the Woods is Bugaboos brother, yes he was born in woods.
I can imagine your kids and grand kids shock and surprise, when they see mom and or grandma way up on that roof. Your doing an amazing job you two.
So with putting Bugaboo on the trebuchet and it turns into a catapult.
Bugaboo is the most photogenic cat EVER!.....:-)
Well I guess she earned her meal today. LOL She is a keeper.
Alyssa , You are truly Wonder Woman, We need to find you a journeyman certificate When you're finished with this building Bravo! If you have children, When they get to school Show and tell It's gonna blow them out of the water. LMAO
💞💞👍👍Congrats guys you’re amazing 👍👍💞💞
Don't get Amazon to replace the part. Get the manufacturer to do it.
FYI there is a lot of return fraud with Amazon. That package was probably opened by someone who just wanted that faucet.
You guys are crazy, our hopes and prayers are with you.
So far so good 😎
Hi Five for the BRAVE lady.
Great music, and a hug for a good days work. Makes me admire you both! This is from some one that has built over 350 houses. Each day is a VICTORY. To be followed by another day of solid effort, hopefully rewarded by how much you complete that day. Take the pride you deserve. So in the end you can say I BUILT THAT!
Brilliant videos! I’d be divorced if I tried to do what your both doing
We used Kohler as well. In our shower we used a "Hydrorail". Check it out. It gives you your shower head as well as a hand shower on a moveable rail with a valve to switch between. It can be retrofitted to your shower outlet. As far as the toilet goes, I assume by now you have it installed. We were using a portages potty as well and had the RV toilet. The day the septic tank was set and Electric installed in the house we quickly got our well switched from it's temporary setup at the well head to permanant installation in the house. I ran to the store and picked up a toilet. We set it on the flange and ran a garden hose with adaptors to the hose bib at the pressure tank. We had a TOILET. We celebrated. two days later the company that serviced our ports potty came (on a a Sunday). I heard the truck and ran out and told them they could take it away. We didn't have walls but formed a visual barrier with cardboard while we quickly framed the walls of the bah in the basement. It was very liberating.
Alyssa is an ABSOLUTE BEAST like Jesse said. You both can work with me anytime!!! I would be honoured, yes that is how it is spelled in Canada.
The heck with a thigh master workout; ride that ridge for a day a see what kind of soreness you feel in those thighs! I hate heights, so great fortitude to stick with it and get it done!
Love the videos....
Alyssa, you're a trooper! Kudos!
guys bugaboo should have a YT channel of his own
If all cats were more like Bugaboo, I might actually like them better. He's gorgeous AND has a great personality. Can't wait to see what you make from the tree.
I nominate Alyssa Mrs America.
Wish every time you cut down a tree 🌲 plant two of new ones to replace they clean the air so we can breathe oxygen remember they put here from god for us all. Earth 🌏 clean it renew it
Gratulations one part of the roof is done yay
that's one brave lady there got to give it to her
Sorry, but a trebuchet is slightly different and what you explained closer to a catapult. A trebuchet slings it's ammo from beneath it. Now if I am wrong I will be the first to admit it, but I just thought you might like to know about that aspect is all. Also I have seen every video and wanna say great job.
Yeah your almost finished with the roof. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. :)
Great work on this last part of the west side. I think when it’s finished you’ll look back and realize this was the most difficult side. There will be less wind and more shade on the east side plus you will have experience working for you. On the con side you will be losing Anna’s help. Losing that tree that gave you so much welcome shade is a downer but it had to go for a lot of good reasons. If you can come up with a good helper for the east side I think you may be able to finish it up in 2 days. Stay safe.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THAT TREE
So love the series but for safety just put in working stairs that can come out like the rough doors it will make life allot easier.
You both are amazing ! i have been following you for ages, way before i knew you were even building a house. So impressed by what you have accomplished. The house is looking amazing !
I look forward to watching your videos but I don't recall watching any that you discussed putting in heating and AC. I am assuming that you will have it.
I have to say this one is by far my most favorite video you've done on your building project. Building that extra ladder was what I would have done as well. Wicked heavy but it works great. I'm sure the other side will go much faster. Sorry to see you had to remove that tree but, I kinda figured that would happen sooner or later.
Most feel good to be this fare. I know i feel good and no cuts falls.great job thanks for showing.
It's so wonderful to see you do this.. it great following along :-)
"That girl is a beast!" Indeed!! ...and only in the best way possible! It must be weird releasing these videos of 'Look what we did two months ago!' Cheating over to Instagram to see the result only makes the process that much more amazing to watch. Are you home building experts? Well, no! Are you maybe spending a bit more than absolutely necessary for the sake of learning and getting things done? Well, maybe! Is it fortunate that you're young, resilient, and can take a physical and mental beating that most building professionals wouldn't stand for? Well, DUH! LOL BUT...Are you writing a story that precious few people can, and NOT doing it 'on a shoestring' so that you have an uncompromising result that you won't be second-guessing in ten years? Well, so it would appear!! A special pat on the back for not reacting to the critics, in the process! Are you making mistakes? Of course you are! Last time I checked, though, as long as everybody is safe, the job gets done, and you never lose sight of the need for the relationship to survive and thrive, at the end of the day, then THAT'S HOW YOU LEARN! Well done, kids! :-)
Video suggestion, "The day in the life of Buggaboo"....
Video posted 42 minutes ago, already 5301 views... you guys just MIGHT be popular, I can't tell for sure.
Noooo not the tree nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Don't forget to install your roof vent pipe for the plumbing.
That drone shots are memory for rest of your life. You should frame and hang one of those when you finish the build. Amazing, challenging and satisfying - even on youtube. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your homebrew ladder solution seem so much more safe and less cumbersome that the previous concept. I also think it might be faster in the end.
Welding with my iphone...
Just about jettisoned my cappuccino right thru my nose. Hilarious!!
Why did it break my heart to see the tree go??
So sad! The damaged panel can be fixed if there is no crease in it. Lay it with dented side up on some plywood covered with a thick layer of newspaper. Then use a tongue depressor (be sure to sand the edges with fine sandpaper to round it off slightly) rubbing it on the dent firmly until it is gone. How you hold it is between your thumb and three finger leaving the index finger to put pressure on the end of the tongue depressor. It works on any thin metals even car fender panels. It's slow work but if done right you can't tell it was even damage.
A job well done!! Keep it up!
that is why they call it a cat_a_polet just don't forget the parachute we want a safe landing. right bugaboo.
Why did you not glue cardboard, rubber or foam to the bottom of the wood ladder to protect the panels it needs to lay on ??
Thank you for sharing that HUG. You made my day. I am at a loss for words. We do nothing and you keep getting on with the house. The end will be great. The process was worth all the effort. You will always have that special hug even when the house is gone.
Why are there no basket or platform controls on that skyjack/telelift? It could run on the battery so the engine would not need to run. Then you would not need the 3rd person. Must be only certain models have that.
The 'scrap' panels might could go over the man doors.
Amazon is crap. More and more of my items are either missing pieces or damaged.
Amazon are the market place not the manufacturer's!!! Do your homework and find the right brand. You can buy a chefs knife made by a well known company from Amazon or buy a chefs knife made by no name company from Amazon. Your call in the end.
Why do you think it's called a CATapult?
I was wondering when that tree was going to go, better now that later, I know your not into safety, but next time and from now on please wear chaps, I have fixed to many chain sawed legs.
I bought my chaps right after I grazed my knee cap with my Jonsered.
I'm sure there was a video about them and how important they are. Oh well!
Chainsaw SHORTS NO CHAPS very very silly!
That was a really pretty/healthy tree....This kinda bums me out.
17:28 every place you cut or drilled will rust. If moisture gets under the panels and collects at the bottom, it will freeze into heaving ice because you sealed the bottom edges closed. Also large hail will break open your seams and allow water to penetrate under your panels. ☺
And you have a nice day as well.....
Gosh you make me chuckle alot! :D Starting the night shift with a good chuckle is great for the mood, specially when everything breaks and burns up! :)
I'm a lefty.....bugaboo needs more video time...
Can you please have an episode showing what the cost has been from the beginning to the end. I ask bc I am in Washington state and the cost of living is hard to keep up with. If not I understand, I'm just trying to get in idea of what the costs will be to make this my reality. No disrespect inteneded.
i transplanted a large tree that we were attached to 6 months ago so far so good but its as much work as a timber frame house ...almost
in my next life i want to be bugaboo :)
love the drone fottage at the end it was great!!!!!!!!!11
couldn"t you reach the last panels from the forklift ?
hello jesse&elise, very hard work great wonderful... i look CLIMB WOODS NICE ELISE LADY!!!! I LOVE HER, I LLOOK NICE ON TOP ROOFS WOOOOW. THIS MORNING WOOOOW. YOU WILL SENT ME SOOON
YOUR FRIEND MARIA CONTI
How did “Bug a Boo” get his name
Being a Lefty also we have to adapt to the contraption or just learn to use our rt hand. I tend to do both situation dependent.
The roof look awesome you guy's 👍👍👍👍👍👍
you know your sister is the best
I gotta say that the last made ladder on the roof looks really sketchy. Anyways, great job guys.
❤️❤️👍🏻
Be sure and cut it up into something nice. It shaded you thru some tough summers. Honor it.
