Thanks for showing the reality of how much work it takes to build your own place and fund it piece by piece. Too many channels show the end product and not reality! Great job, guys!
Hey there Von... Have you not learned yet that the answer to the age old question "How many cupboards do you need?" is *ALWAYS* "Just one more..." The same hold true for shelves - "Just one more..." And for wall outlets - "Just one more..." And grand-kids - "Just one more..." That is how the world works !
I understand that living in a construction zone is not easy. I’ve done it twice and don’t plan on doing it again anytime soon. God bless you. Everything is moving along. You will be done before you know it. Good luck✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️
Ohhhh....l remember when my little house was being constructed. Same as you moved boxes constantly. I was lucky enough to buy a little barn to store my bins. I borrowed an rv which was a life saver! Of course l live in Texas but winters are cold in north Texas. I remember when my septic and potty was installed. I never was so excited to flush a toilet.
You definitely know what I’m going through 😁 They weather can be a challenge… I had to make sure and not store anything in the arctic entry that would freeze and get ruined. Have a great rest of your day! 😊
Enjoy your videos so much. And I understand you. When they renovated our apartment complex and we had to eat in my bedroom with the whole family for days it was awful. You guys are amazing. One day I want to make as amazing videos as you. I love how authentic you are
Thank you! 😊 Yikes, that sounds like it was miserable. When Ryan was stationed in Valdez and the kids were still little we ended up living in a hotel room with the kids and two big dogs for three weeks during winter while our place was getting fixed… I’m surprised we all made it out alive 😂😂😂
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska lol well I was maybe 10? For me it was a big adventure. Aaaaand my mum later found all kinds of trash in our drawers. Like cut off cable parts, screws... Everything the workers "trashed" lol today it would be horrible for my OCD though.
Oh Von, I feel your pain, I have been living in a reno zone for years, I’m 66 and things don’t get done as quick as they used too. We just bought a new property and so the Reno’s start again. You guys have made huge progress but it never feels like it’s happening fast enough eh. Take care and hang in there. 🇨🇦🌷
Von your walk in wardrobe looks beautiful,he made a great job of it…..You should concentrate on getting your lounge done and then at the end of the night you could relax for a few hours out of the chaos.Take care you will be looking forward to some nice weather.❤️🌺🌺
Living in a mess drives me nuts personally. It will feel so good to get it all organized! Love your videos and admire you both for all the work you have done yourselves.
So satisfying!!! I know as a woman that just felt amazing to have all of your stuff in one space!! Big win!!! Congratulations! And girl those shoes were amazing I wouldn’t have been able to part with them either!!
Hello Von, I nearly broke out in a sweat watching this video. I am like you I don't like clutter. I consider myself a minimalist so to live with all that stuff would have drove me crazy. But I do appreciate the honesty. People don't realize what its like to live in a construction project. All the best to you.
Thank you 🙏 it’s been a hard process, but it’s going to be so worth it! I can’t wait until the day is here we can look around and see what we dreamed up, reality ❤️❤️❤️ we’re so close!
Started watching a few months ago and am binge watching to catch up! We hope to build a cabin in Willow soon and move up from Oregon. We bought the property last summer. Looking forward to more privacy, room and less government over reach.
Von go back in the video's to the day you uncovered the house foundation and stated putting up walls. Does the saying "you've come a long way baby " ring a bell? 🥰
Yes it does absolutely. We have come a long way and feel so blessed to be living our dream. It’s been hard and we love it!! Ryan and I talk everyday about how lucky we are to be out here mortgage free. ❤️
It looks amazing, Von! I live in a tiny dry cabin, at 286 square feet, space is definitely an issue. Under construction as well, so I feel your pain/ stress. But it is worth it when one more project is completed! Love your channel and the minutes with Von segments. You and Ryan are doing a great job!
So glad you are finally getting some organization. We also built a house and lived in an unfinished home. My thoughts are with you through this last part of your home build. Won’t it be amazing when it’s finished. 😊
Great video Von. We have the same sort of deal going on at a smaller scale though. Remodeling and building a pantry out of our porch which was the catchall for bulky items, etc. I swear I moved boxes back and forth a hundred times.....oh well thanks for sharing your victory with us.
Von!! I defended you saying that you wouldn't take up the closet lol, your closet is amazing and once again I'm so happy for you that you got another space done so you can make room somewhere else. Yes I want to see the other spaces finished but now I'm invested in the master bathroom,I guess because I seen it from the beginning. I know I talk alot on your comment section but I just get so excited for you every time a project gets finished, the smile on you alls faces me happy 💜🐸
Thank you so much!! It’s so nice to hear ❤️ Lol!! Thank you for defending me. I need to weed out a bit more stuff, now that I’m digging into it… yikes 😬 Ryan put most of his stuff away yesterday and I will admit to eyeing it a bit 😂😂
I like the snow at the end. We were at the cabin last week, the wife was off from school for spring break. And we got some snow also. About 2 inches. woop woop
Love it all coming together Also like is broader view of how every room is going Don’t think I have your patience but having said that the results are worth it.❤
i am not making fun of your situation at all. But you crack me up only cause your a joy to watch, with your incredible smile and the happiness you get from the little things when you guys continue to move forward! More power to ya! lookinf forward to this weekends video!
Another great video Von, unpacking and hanging your clothes in their “forever home” is like a voyage of discovery. You had forgotten what you had packed away! Then it’s all the memories that the unpacking brings you. As you said you swapped nice shoes for bibs and t shirts. It can be quite a roller coaster ride on the emotions. We moved into our home 10 years ago, we still have boxes unpacked, my husband says then just bin the whole box, if we haven’t needed it for 10 years we can’t need it. Meanwhile lm wanting to go through the boxes inch by inch incase there’s something important inside! Needless to say, the boxes are still awaiting a decision! Thankfully, they are in the shed, not as such in the way though my husband does at times mention that he “ could do with having his shed back” 😅 The finished closet looks great, you have both worked really hard to get it finished. That’s one room you can tick off the finished list!❤
Thank you! Yes, it’s crazy how it’s like discovering new things. I can’t wait till I get to the boxes labeled Knick knacks I Love. They’ll have to wait a bit longer though 👍👍👍
I love your closet! How exciting! I understand the clutter. Unfortunately, I am married to a someone who never throws anything away. We’ve been married 50 years. I do the best I can to try to clear the clutter, but I have to choose my battles. 😂
Ya'll have a beautiful home, and are doing a great job of accomplishing your goals! Awesome closet setup, and love the baseboards. Looking forward to the bathroom project, so you'll be one more step closer to normalcy? 😂😅Love ya'll ❤
I so understand trying to complete a room when you are living in the home. Ugh..... But that closet! Looks so good! Are you going to start on the kitchen next? It's gonna be amazing. I had paused the video and posted. I heard the answer to my question, The bathroom is next. :)
Great job Von love to watch your channel whether its you or your husband working I’m from the other side of the world near Wildwood New Jersey. how did you guys pick your UA-cam name?
That is awesome! Thank you, so glad you found us! When we lived in Petersburg Alaska we bought and remodeled an old 1912 house that had a tree, shrub, and flower nursery called Wildwood. We ran the nursery and kept the name ❤️❤️
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska thanks for sharing. I’m sure you’ve said that story 100 times but it’s great knowing the real truth wish it was a little more connected to New Jersey but hey keep up the good work in Alaska I hope to get there someday on a cruise in the future, just a retired schoolteacher enjoying my retirement through your fun adventures keep up the great work!👍🏻
2 Peter 1:2-3 King James Version 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue Gods blessings over you .
Day by day you are getting there. It looks great.
Thank you! 🙏
Love your new series: Minutes With Von. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Glad to hear you enjoy it! ❤️
Thanks for showing the reality of how much work it takes to build your own place and fund it piece by piece. Too many channels show the end product and not reality! Great job, guys!
Thank you, really appreciate this nice comment ❤️
The closest looks great! It definitely isn't any fun living in a house under construction!
Hey there Von...
Have you not learned yet that the answer to the age old question "How many cupboards do you need?" is *ALWAYS* "Just one more..."
The same hold true for shelves - "Just one more..."
And for wall outlets - "Just one more..."
And grand-kids - "Just one more..."
That is how the world works !
Love, love, love it! Especially the grandkids ❤️❤️
It does feel really good to put stuff in it's final place and knowing you don't need to move it around anymore. Thanks Von
Yes it does! ❤️
Awe .. Von! God Bless You for being able to live moving supplies from room to room! You’re a special human & I give you so much credit!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!! It’s been challenging, but at the same time, I am loving how much progress has been made lately ❤️❤️
Another great video. I know the feeling of living in a construction zone, feels sooooo good when it’s all done. Have a Blessed day everyone.
Thank you! You too!
I understand that living in a construction zone is not easy. I’ve done it twice and don’t plan on doing it again anytime soon. God bless you. Everything is moving along. You will be done before you know it. Good luck✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️
Yes, thank you. Gotta stay positive and I am so grateful for all the progress! Hooray! It’s all starting to come together 😁
I can't wait for all the organization videos II It looks great regardless of the construction mess. Good job Von!
It's not easy, but tub by tub, you're getting there! Keep on smiling!
Yes! Thank you! 💃💃
Ohhhh....l remember when my little house was being constructed. Same as you moved boxes

Vonn slowly but surely with clearing the boxes out. The closest turned out beautiful. In no time you will have things where you want them for good.
Yes! Can't wait! 💃💃💃
I loved this! Fun shorter version.
Thank you 😊

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska i assume I liked that whole experience much more than my parents 😂😂😂😂
That was fun Von, thanks for letting us hang out while you worked.... Looks very nice. Going to get me one of those shirt folders....
Thank you! Right on 👍 they work great and are kinda fun! 🤩
Oh Von, I feel your pain, I have been living in a reno zone for years, I’m 66 and things don’t get done as quick as they used too. We just bought a new property and so the Reno’s start again. You guys have made huge progress but it never feels like it’s happening fast enough eh. Take care and hang in there. 🇨🇦🌷
Yes, you absolutely get it! It feels like forever, but when I look back I feel very satisfied with our progress ❤️
I love your new closet. You two did a great job designing and building a customized closet. Good job.
Thanks so much! ❤️
The closet looks great !!! Do much storage and organization !!!!
That place is looking wonderful once you get everything set you won't never have to do it again. I love this video keep having it.
Yes! And things keep moving forward… love it!
Loved this! I am such a sucker for good organization. Can't wait to see what's next!
BTW I'm loving minutes with Von.❤
Love these midweek videos
Thank you Von. I enjoyed that.
The closet looks great, Von. Totally understand about the war on clutter.
Yes… definitely a war 😁
A great way to start my day! Thanks for sharing Von!
Looking awesome
Good Morning, I am so happy to see your smile! Now I am going to head into my closet and organize and purge, you gave me the inspiration I needed. 😃
Awesome! Now that I’m taking things out of boxes/totes, I’m also seeing that I need to weed out a bit more too 😉😉
Von your walk in wardrobe looks beautiful,he made a great job of it…..You should concentrate on getting your lounge done and then at the end of the night you could relax for a few hours out of the chaos.Take care you will be looking forward to some nice weather.❤️🌺🌺
That sounds like a great idea!!
Will be so happy for you when you get to finally get your house all finished. I can’t wait , thanks for sharing 😊
Living in a mess drives me nuts personally. It will feel so good to get it all organized! Love your videos and admire you both for all the work you have done yourselves.
Thank you Claudia ❤️❤️❤️
So satisfying!!! I know as a woman that just felt amazing to have all of your stuff in one space!! Big win!!! Congratulations! And girl those shoes were amazing I wouldn’t have been able to part with them either!!
Thank you! So preetttttyyyyyy! ❤️😂
What a beautiful closet!!! You guys did well! And all the stuff you unpacked is phenomenal. Great video!

I’m jealous of that closet. Amazing 💜 from 🇦🇺
Seeing all the other rooms no wonder you are so executed about the closet!
Lol! Yes! 😂

But it is worth it when one more project is completed! Love your channel and the minutes with Von segments. You and Ryan are doing a great job!
Thank you 😊 You definitely know what its like 👍
Ok you inspired me this morning, so now my sweet husband is in the process of remodeling my closet👏👏👏
Awesome 👏 👏👏
Von, you've got a pretty smile. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh thank you! ❤️😁
So glad you are finally getting some organization. We also built a house and lived in an unfinished home. My thoughts are with you through this last part of your home build. Won’t it be amazing when it’s finished. 😊

Absolutely 👍
I like the snow at the end. We were at the cabin last week, the wife was off from school for spring break. And we got some snow also. About 2 inches. woop woop
Yes! We were surprised with a spring snow storm… so beautiful!
I hear you about the mess, i don't function well in a mess. Closet is fabulous, you got `so much done.
Thank you! Every little step forward 😄
Love it all coming together
Also like is broader view of how every room is going
Don’t think I have your patience but having said that the results are worth it.❤
Great job Von...👍👍
I really love your closet! What a great idea of having a folding shirt tool. ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Such an accomplishment 🎉
So cute and true. Great job
Clutter drives me crazy as well!! Good start for sure
Thanks Kristin ❤️
I lived out of a suitcase & slept on a blowup mattress for over a yr so I can relate. Looks awesome Von! Thanks for sharing
Oh my goodness! My back hurts just thinking about it 😬
You gave me some new ideas…Thanks
i am not making fun of your situation at all. But you crack me up only cause your a joy to watch, with your incredible smile and the happiness you get from the little things when you guys continue to move forward! More power to ya! lookinf forward to this weekends video!
I appreciate that 😁😁
Looooove the closet!!!
Love that shirt folder!
It’s so dang handy.
I have to get two of those super fast folders for my adult daughter and I!
They’re a laundry game changer 👍

Very nice closet
Hang in there y’all are doing a great job, soon you look back and think how in the heck did we lived through all this.
Absolutely 👍 ❤️
I love the closet it looks awesome. ❤
Thank you! 😊
The folder you use for tops is the same as one I bought my autistic kids,they love them lol
❤️
I love your closet! How exciting! I understand the clutter. Unfortunately, I am married to a someone who never throws anything away. We’ve been married 50 years. I do the best I can to try to clear the clutter, but I have to choose my battles. 😂

Looking good Von.
Thanks Terry! Did you see the “bad knot” reel on FB of you and Ryan… hilarious 😆
@@wildwoodoffgridalaska no.
I have 5 acres in Tok… hate I’m in the lower
Sounds like it’s time to make the journey ❤️
Ya'll have a beautiful home, and are doing a great job of accomplishing your goals! Awesome closet setup, and love the baseboards. Looking forward to the bathroom project, so you'll be one more step closer to normalcy? 😂😅Love ya'll ❤

Yes, bathroom next. But very soon kitchen… Hooray 😁
Go getem Von
Thank you 😊
I have closet envy!
Lol 😆 😂
One box at a time.
Good job Von. I hope you left a little corner in that closet for Ryan.
Maybe just a smidge 😂😂😂
Great job Von love to watch your channel whether its you or your husband working I’m from the other side of the world near Wildwood New Jersey.

Getting it done you making progress ❤. What the name and the colors of your floors they are beautiful.
Thank you, it’s smart core pro, Burbank oak.
The woman said to the man, "Why do you need another gun"? The man said, "Why do you need another pair of shoes"? LOL
Bwah ha ha!!!😂😂😂 Yessss!
❤🙏🙂
Isn’t that the truth, you have to make a mess to clean a mess.
I thought you had a 3 bedroom, not a 2. 😮 Then again I think it's just you and Ryan correct?
Yep, just two. I think it’s perfect for us and a guest, or when the grand kids spend the night ❤️
Why cook when you have Fast Eddies?
We love Fast Eddie’s but it sure gets expensive if you go out too often.😁

I know, I know lol 😂 🤦🏻♀️
Why do you need so many clothes ?
Wow girl you need to get rid of some clothes way too many clothes
100 percent agree! 👍
Great job Von...👍👍
