Get foundation specialist to shore up the foundation using driven solid steel pillars to bedrock to support your foundation from sinking and raise it back to level once more.
Yes!
This! Yes!
U only want to do the leveling one time . All screws n nails don’t do well with this much movement
It is the corner of a patio roof, not a 1000´ skyscraper, and in north Idaho, there could be 1000´ of glacial fill in the bottom of the valley. I would however remove the compromised footer, remember, the holes were dug wrong and partially refilled, so the "right" solution is to dig again, and dig deeper to find virgin ground.

Watching the horses running with the mountains in the back ground was majestic .
So beautiful watching your horses run around . We love you all . Glad you found out now about the sinking going on . GODBLESS sweetie you guy are amazing
Thank you so much, God bless 🙌 💖
Your closing words, Melissa, are always so profound. May I suggest they are compiled into a book Good Simple Living by Good Simple Words coffee table book.
YES 🥰
What a brilliant idea!❤️
Great idea!
Oh yes please
It would be a great addition to your merchandise
OMG! I totally lost it when you showed the paint samples! 🤣🤣🤣 At first I thought it was the back of the card and when I realized it was the colors I died and rose again from laughter.
Oh yes Spring is sure in the air! It's here too. I have plants going getting big and strong for the garden and new seeds just starting out. Leafy greens in and taters planted. I just don't think life gets any better than that. Love and hugs to all of you!
Nevaeh, my girl, I'm proud of you and the seriousness with which you are learning to operate a motor vehicle. For real, it shows in your confidence to do what is safe to you and not worry about others passing you by. Good job! Stay that way, girl.
Same...lol
Seriously, they are all the stinken same color!!!
@@GoodSimpleLiving 😝
OMG - watching the three youngest share a bike ride brought me back to my childhood!!! My maternal grandma had 3 kids, and each of them had 5 kids... grandma saved her quarters (in the mid 60's, early 70's) in order to gift EACH family one bicycle! Granted, we were all farm kids and horses were the preferred mode of transportation, but those bikes sure got a workout! Thanks for the memories :)
Helmet’s please!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
My then eleven yr. old sister still suffers the repercussions of a concussion a full twenty years later. Hit a bump, bounced off of our mini bike and hit her head.
Please make them wear helmets. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you had the opportunity to meet my sister you would insist that they wear helmets. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

You had a very special Grandma, she has place in heaven now
@@kennethcook5705 we sure did... she's been gone since 1978, still feels like yesterday
The type of thing you can get away with when you have your own land. The things we got up to back in the day. I was born in 1961 late into my family. My brothers were all teenagers by the time I was 5. The older ones had a bomb of a car. They often had to roll it down the hill to get it started. My mother worked and they were on holidays once and looking after me. Put me on the bonnet, I thought it was great fun. lol. The neighbour rang my mother at work and told her she had better come home before they killed me 😂
I think you guys are nearing the last leg of this part of your journey. I would say “best of luck” but instead will say “results of hard work and determination “. Love you guys and your family!
To clean the fields take a cattle panel put some rope on it drag behind your. 4 wheeler. I have seen other people do this and it works
ok......
Åå
Sure glad you caught the settling before any damage was done. When you get the water directed away from the house and porch area you'll be able to rest better too because the house does generate heat so freezing and melting will occur . You all are doing a wonderful job and everyone is having a great spring . Enjoy and stay safe. Fred.
I totally agree with you.
Perhaps dig trenches right round your house and put in deep drains that takes the water away from your house. You can put stones in the trenches. The house is looking amazing and I so love all the hard work and effort you put into your amazing dream house. Please dont be disheartened. Your house is settling in tight for all kinds of future weathers. Everyone learns something or several somethings from anything we do, you're no different. You just share it here, and tell us how you fixed it and make light of it. You're all such an inspiration to everyone that watches your beautiful memories. There is something in every single video you share that stands out to me. It's right in my happy face so I shall tell you. Its several things really. It's the love, joy and happiness, as well as the fun loving togetherness that shines brightly in every single video. Even when you were all man down with covid. You're sure my favourite family. You are creating what many people wish they could have done. Well done. Sending you big hugs and much love. Xxxx
How do know that no damage occurred. Did they publish a structural or civil engineer report that I did not see? I am worried that there has been damage to the front wall, like they had on the side wall rafter. They should probably contact the guys (Michael and Sebastian, at Raise the Bar) who built the front porch roof. It could have been a result of the "giant" holes that were originally dug for the front posts. If they did not properly prepare the ground and did not pack the earth below the concrete piers or make the piers deep enough, then that would be the cause. They might need to do more to prevent future damage. (ua-cam.com/video/c7acLXBge-o/v-deo.html)
@@bevemslie8797 I think that they’re called French drains(?),they saved my driveway years ago! Great idea 💡
When I was in the USAF I volunteered with Habitat For Humanity...they had a crew come in a dry wall an entire 3 bedroom house in one day...light switches, outlets, overhead lights...everything. I'm still awed to this day. Jeremy...your walls look PERFECT!!!!
Melissa.... definitely do a coffee table book when the build is complete!!! It would be so special and inspiring.
AMEN. I second that idea!
I third! 🖋️🗒️📗💜💜💜
You guys have blown me away. Jeremy, just WOW! Power team! 👏🏽🥰💕
Burying a flex seal painted 4 to 6 foot diameter freeze barrier (1" thick foam rubber) down to the top or around the concrete foot. Also laid around the post will stop the cold air from freezing the ground. 😉👍
I can relate to your daughter's apprehension in going very fast on her first few drives. 60 years ago I was just turning 16 and I remember not wanting to go much over 20 mph for my first couple of drives. I'm sure she will be just fine..........good luck to her.
My daughter felt better driving on the turnpike than in town! Our roads are narrow and have parking on both sides so it’s certainly more exact than the wide open turnpike!
I guess I've always had a lead foot. Lol. I was always more worried about going OVER the speed limit than under.
@@carlapierle8623 Me too, after my initial few drives.
Oh the memories your kids are going to have of gathering in front of the fire with family. Just a warm and relaxing scene. I love it.
The flooring is perfect and a great match for the ceiling boards!
Where do I start…. the scenery is drop dead gorgeous around your place. Never gets old. Breath taking! Neveah ( I forget the spelling) is also stunning and that apple fell right off that Jeremy tree !! That homestead is coming along sooooo nice! Great progress. Love the videos… the animals…it’s all great. Thanks for letting us in
I agree totally! She looks just like her Dad. And the younger daughter is a little mini Melissa lol. Beautiful family! 🙂❤
Nevaeh is HEAVEN spelled backwards. She seems like a sweet young lady.
@@billr.5808 how appropriate the name!!
I applaud your commitment to doing the house on your own. I know that is not easy as I also choose to renovate a house I bought a few years back by myself.
Also your commitment to family is inspiring. Keep up the great videos.
On a side note, my youngest son and his then very pregnant wife were over visiting while I was watching one of your videos. They loved your daughters name so much, they named my first grandchild after her, Neveah Emersyn Armstrong
I just have to tell you that at the end of each of the videos of yours I have watched, I have found myself smiling..I mean for real smiling. thanks for bringing your family and your love for life into my home every time I watch you. God Bless you all. House is look great, even if it was leaning for a bit.
Thank you, makes my heart happy to hear that 😊
Looks like the horses are glad it's spring! They're beautiful, especially when they were running!
Beautiful flooring and ceiling choices. The house is really coming along. I know you guys are so bummed about the entrance sinking. It is better for it to happen now before y'all move in than for it to happen a few years down the road and y'all not notice it because of life. Hang in there y'all will make the right call. I can not believe how quickly you all got the drywall up, mudded, and bedded. Glad y'all took a day off from the house. You needed that beautiful sunshiny day and some vitamin D. You will be planting your garden before you know it. I am itching to plan mine. I am chicken it is going to freeze one more time. Hope y'all have a blessed week. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
Here in north Idaho we can get a pretty hard freeze right through Mother's Day so plants come in at night till then or are covered or kept in the greenhouse. Good luck with your garden, I just love mine every year!🫑🫑🥒🍅🥔🥬🥦🧅🌽
Amen re "sharing."
You have a gift of wisdom and encouragement, Melissa. You’re doing great as Neveah works through Driver’s Ed, too! Jeremy, you have been tenacious in this phase of the build!
Thank you ❤️
I enjoy watching you. All you make me smile and i love the way you two tease each other. Your doing a great job and its looking nice. Beautiful area and place. You have a gift if perseverence faith and grace . Thanks for a great program.
@@GoodSimpleLiving Love your post guys, will you be using a wood stove?
Moving along wonderfully! Great job on the drywall and floor and ceiling choices. Won't be long now before you get to move into your dream home.
How adorable the baby lamb lying over its Mother! The wrinkly dog with not a care in the world sound asleep. Bunny hopping playfully, frisky lamb, a curious cat, horses nibbling at a treat on a string, children happily rolling in a barrel, I love it! That is a gorgeous home, I hope you can remedy the settling of the house.
Whoo hoo texture & paint time I like the flooring you chose accents the celing wood in greatroom nicely, Melissa gets her hubby back great video thank's for sharing 😉👍
As careful as you are in finishing the drywall, the first coat of paint will show some defects you missed. It's normal, so don't stress about it!
So true. With large windows at each end of the great room even a hair sized bump can cast a shadow a foot long.
I just can not express what joy filled my heart watching your video today. As a old, 65 year young, farmgirl Grandma seeing the horses running , the lamb and your kids playing it really filled my heart with happy memories of times gone by. Oh how I loved spring coming to the farm. Getting ready to plant the garden, see all the spring babies being born and enjoying not being bundled up in 35 layers of clothes!! Lol ! I can still relate to the clothes part, but sure do miss the rest of farm life. Seeing your place without snow is also exciting ! Anxious to keep following along watching your journey unfold. Love, hugs and prayers from a Kansas Grandma ❤️
I ❤️ your description of Spring. Awesome.
I have antique white walls (cream), just gorgeous 🥰. Love the horses running, seeing the kids play & Nevaeh drive. You & Jeremy are such good role models.
So exciting to be nearing the end zone! Once the floors are in, you really could let the kids start decorating their rooms & unloading the stuff they saved. A new place for them on rainy days to spread out and do games/ read and work on tablets.
Electrics, covers, trims, curtains, furniture, closets, lighting, bathrooms, doors, door jams, coving, paint...
Theres a whole ton they have left before the kids should be in thee unpacking.
Theres no rush
Once they leave that tiny home they won't return until they want their own independence. Memories to be had in the small space together IMO
@@steph0xGx The rest of the house need not be done for play space in their bedrooms during the day. Only trim on doors & windows. I'm not saying sleeping in there.
There is lots of clay in the area I live and the areas around the foundations have to be kept moist during the dry hot season. Some use drip lines. You may want to check with others in your area if that's an issue. Place is looking good!
I want to see the Finishing product of the ceiling, the walls, the floors. Its going to be so amazing, I am so excited and just in a hurry to see the glory of all the hard hard work, to get there...
Love your comments at the end, this time truly rang a bell with me. I have been in Hawaii for the past 20+ years. You don't get spring there, you just get hot and hotter you also don't get passage of time as it all runs together. You don't get that challenge of winter nor the great feelings of rebirth in the spring, thanks for sharing
We did that exact floor throughout our entire downstairs absolutely love it.
Neveah Will get a bit faster as her confidence grows, She is doing brilliantly, The house is looking so good, The little ones playing together is a joy to see, they always seem to get along so well, The sinking front beam was a bit of a worry so I hope that the fix you are going to do will work out fine for you,
God bless you.
I love the colors you have picked out for your floors and ceiling
There are few things more beautiful than seeing horses running free and enjoying themselves. !💕🥰🙏🏻
Great job getting your drywall done! Hopefully the front house settling fix is a one-and-done 😀
Great job on the mudding you guys. Jeremy, you're a better man than I am, I hated doing the mudding and plasterboard work in my old house. My ex hated it more though, she always had CEMENT HAND PRINTS on her back side everytime she got me a cup of coffee or lunch,lol. The homestead is looking awesome.
Great to see the dry walling finished. I remember when I had finished the plaster boarding ( as we say in UK) and skim coat and painted, I really felt I was near the end.
From this side of the camera it looks like your doing a very nice job. It usually takes awhile to dial in with drywall but you seem to have picked it up very quickly.
Love the colour choices....great job on the dry wall to. Its such a grind but you guys are doing awesome! Can't wait to see the painting and all those choices put together!
Love the flooring you picked. I’ve watched for along time, rarely comment. I just love your family. My 4 are 25 to 39. I’m 55 and I miss the family time. I was a single mom since my youngest was 3. I’m happy they turned out so great. I’m remarried now but still have that lil ache in my heart for the past closeness. God bless your family. ❤️❤️
Watching the kids ride and roll in the barrel reminded me so much of my grandkids when they were young...they are so precious I love seeing them, thank you for sharing. I love your knew addition your little lamb is so adorable. So since I haven't loved enough I love the flooring that you chose, it is beautiful. Thank you Melissa for your words at the end of each video, it makes one stop and think about how blessed the Lord has been. Get some rest, decorating is soon to come:)
Thank you so much 💓
The work on the house is looking fabulous. Can’t wait to see the paint and texturing on the walls. The flooring looks like a winner too…
Hope you get the 3” sinking sorted out, that doesn’t sound good at all. Hopefully you have some professionals near you to advise your next course of action.
Woo Hoo Nevaeh!! Keep working hard on your divers licence - you got this young lady.
Best wishes to you all from across the pond 🇬🇧💕💕💕
Another wonderful vlog!! The house is looking great. Love the flooring and wall color. Can’t wait for the next update!❤️
I can only imagine how you will feel,when you stand and look at your beautiful home 🥰🥰🥰
Best thing I have found is a fine Dog comb, strips the coat straight out and the Horses love it.
I’m so glad you caught what could have been a major problem. Houses do settle but because of the freezing and thawing I can understand the need for additional strength materials being applied. It’s looking so beautiful and I’m excited to see you all enjoying a summer of fun with horses and doing some grilling and enjoying your gardens. I love the work you’ve done and again I must say it’s beautiful. God bless you all. 🥰🙏🤟👋🥀
Thank you Melissa and Jeremy! Love seeing the kids and animals playing and enjoying the outdoors! Much love to you all 😊🤗❤🙏
You guy's are so inspiring , love what you all are doing as a family. Love your channel. Can't wait for your next vid.
What a season you are in Guys and thanks for letting us join in
❤️ thanks for coming along!
Your kids are so creative and fun. Those horses are really besties.
Yikes.....3"....that's a lot of settling. Hope you can find a quick permanent solution. 💪Your house is so beautiful and perfectly matched to your property. 🐑🏇 Watching from Florida. B&D
NJ here...love your heart! And wow what a backdrop! Magnolia fan here too...would love to have them "Fixer Upper" a home! If time turned backwards...could see myself building a home! Love watching you're journey...and your horses and animals ...more gifts! Floor choice is beautiful! Like how you just do the next thing..ie Foundation fix.
I'm loving watching the progress and I'm living vicariously through y'all. I feel like I'm invested emotionally and can't wait until our house is finished lol. 🤣 I agree about the dark floors. We have dark wood floors (darker than y'alls) and I can't ever keep them clean for more than an hour, but I love them and when they are clean and shiny, they look BeAutiful. Also, my 15yo son is about to start drivers ed too. 🙏 😭
Sad to hear about the sinking of the front peak, I hope it is an easy fix and everything works out! God Bless
The stars are amazing out there. Very proud of you building your own home, Its very hard, but so very, very rewarding and much Happiness. feeling Proud too. I have a Habits Humanity Home, I am a single Mother of 3 and I feel very lucky to be chosen to have been picked to become home owner. Every honored and very proud. We don't have a fancy home, buts it's 3 bedroom, nice size yards. But its our forever home....💜
a lot of my family have coeliac disease ( gluten free ) including myself, luckily it has vastly improved over the years just the price is ridiculous, in the late 80's me and the wife had to look at every label in the supermarket as nothing was labelled as it is now and the selection was very small back then, here in the UK a small loaf of bread costs 2 to 3 pounds, packet of choc cookies is 1 pound 30p for 8 biscuits, in males it usually lies dormant until mid 40's, I blame the geeks who genetically modify the wheat, you will be amazed what foods have wheat in, certain pop, crisps, most soups, nearly all fast food even gluten free food has the chance to be cross contaminated as the servers are clueless about cross contamination
Our daughter still drives like Grandma and she's in her 40's. I feel like I age quicker when she's driving! Never had an accident though!
The horses were SOOOO happy after their grooming!
Those horses have adjusted so well and look majestic.
So glad you can fix the problem with the post. Melissa, your choices are awesome! Ya know, you should schedule a manicure and pedicure when Nevaeh goes for her driver's ed classes. Love you guys!!
😆 I don't think that's a thing here
So hard to believe that you are going to have a new driver in the house. Wow, where did that time go! These precious children are growing up so so fast.
The horses are looking gorgeous and so fun to watch you ride them.
The house looks great and really coming along. Sorry about the sinking on the beam but I am sure you will get to the bottom of that and figure it out in a timely manner. Dishwasher has arrived! Yahooooooooo
Love the flooring you have picked and thinking it will be beautiful and cozy in winter and beautiful in the daylight of spring and summer and cozy warm in fall.
Excited to watch it all come together for your family..........it's going to be just a dream and beyond. So happy for you and all the hard work you pour into your work ........all your work!
Blessings
It’s great that you are taking so much pride in finishing the house the way you want it. I’m certain that the drywall will look better than any “professional “. Flooring looks great but don’t be fooled that it won’t scratch. We scratched our new floor the first day we moved into our new house. Old English dark furniture polish took care of hiding the scratch
Good video, but what a bummer about the front post. Hope your fix will be permanent. Of all the seasons, I love spring the most. Aside from your thought that the cold of winter makes you appreciate it more, I love spring because it teams with new life. New chutes and buds on the trees, the greening of the grounds are like a big reset button. The promise of good things to come.
The flooring you picked out will be an awesome compliment to the home and the 37 shades of cream paint color...lol 😂😅 I'm glad to see the taping and mudding nearing the end, Jeremy isn't the only person needing a break from it, geesh.. Settlement on the foundation is almost a gimme when dealing with frost and thaws, a foundation company shouldn't have any problems remedying it. Love ya'll ❤️
The flooring is absolutely beautiful. And the lighter color walls are going to make it even more beautiful. Looking at the house and the garden and barndominium and pasture from above with the drone, looks absolutely stunning. Your land is like a dream home surrounded by mountains. And you get to live the dream. Sooooo jealous. Lol but really, I am so happy for you guys and I can't wait to see it finished. Love you 💞❤️
Your horse eating from the hanging block is so nice!
Wow!! The views from your property of those mountains, are simply stunning.
Seeing the horses run against that stunning background is absolutely amazing. You are both champions so much detail to everything you do. Great role models.
So pleased the snow has FINALLY gone!! 😉🇬🇧👍🌷🌺🌞 Spring always follows, thank you for that x
Nevaeh is doing so well. Such a good feeling when your children advance into being capable of driving. I have many great memories of my children achieving this milestone. Your house looks so good. The drywall skills you have now are great. Sorry about the sinking, but sounds like you have it figured out. Love the kids on the bike. Sweet memories!
So sorry to hear of your sinking issue, that sucks! You guys have done an amazing job with the drywall. Your choice of the floor is perfect, it looks fantastic! And the ceiling one is great too. Your house when finished will look amazing!!!!!!
I went with Alabaster and pure white trim on mine.l loove the flooring u picked..that’s the one I would have gone with..gorgeous..I know it’s hard work and. It’s soo impressive that u guys r building this yourselves..but to look out at that view.the mountains.and those horses running is a picture of heaven…
Hay your snow is gone!!!! I'm sure your glad the sanding is done. Thanks for sharing. God bless
Love 💕 love your choice of flooring and glad the ceiling is lighter. It is going to be absolutely beautiful 🤩
That was so awesome to have the texture done in 3 days - I know u2 could have done it yourself but having a project done in record time is so awesome- love your choices in flooring, cabinets, and paint-you have that special eye - love the kids playing and having fun - love ya more
Exciting! Good choices! I'm sure you had the soil sampled and analyzed. Not just perk tested but composition. Dolomite is the worst for cold/hot and wet/dry expansion and contraction. Make sure you measure your footing, slabs too. Praise God for your springs and all seasons🤗
After weeks of searching and comparing, we went a laminate vinyl product that looks like distressed wood. It is waterproof and has a backing to it which gave it a little padding. The flooring was laid throughout the house upstairs and downstairs. Our 21yr old home overall basically got a redo inside and out. The bad water valve upstairs in a bathroom back in January just added misery to the process and kind of sped things up. So the house has been painted and there are new lighting and bathroom fixtures. We have a new roof and updated front porch. The kitchen has new countertops and the cabinets are getting a refresh in late July. Whew
Almost there. It's looking great! It is so beautiful there. I could sit and look at that mountain all day. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride!
I’m so glad spring is here for you guys, everything looks so much better like you said.
The house is Amazing 🤩 I just love everything you are doing.
Can I say that I’ve need seen two more hard working, dedicated people such as you and Jeramy.
The land is beautiful 😻 the horses and animals are frolicking in the fields.
The children are out again enjoying the fresh air. I mean that’s not so bad is it? A little slice of heaven on earth.
Sending love prayers And hugs 🤗 for a happy build !!
I love following your journey, thank you so much for sharing with us.
Trudy U.K.
♥️🙏🤗
Thank you ❤️
Great job on the mudding, wish i was that good at it. We used a piece of chain link fence and some boards at the front and back to keep it square to drag the pasture. A piece of chain to attach it to the tractor and it breaks up the manure well with all the links dragging thru it.
Loved the opening shot of the baby lamb laying across his mother , oh and you guys were awesome too
(14:49) how clear is that shot - with Orion twinkling in the sky...wonderful!
Your house is going to be so beautiful!!
That flooring 😍. I typically like the lighter wood, but the texture and movement of your choice is beautiful. Love your closing …
Melissa, I love what you said in the very end of your video ...about going into "SPRING" ...simply beautifully said!! Love & Prayers ❤️🙏❤️
Happy dishwasher day!
We have just been renovating our kitchen and have been without one several weeks now, but two years! WOW!
Melissa your talk at the end really made a difference to me. My wife just told me she wants a divorce 3 weeks ago and I'm dealing with that in my life right now. Knowing that Spring is just around the corner metaphorically helps me to deal with the winter right now. Thank you.
You both work together so well. Thanks so much for sharing.
Just watching this video. When our home was built they dug out too much for the basement and didn't refill correctly. So, our front porch columns started sinking. The builder came out and dug down about 8' and poured columns (Cardboard forms used) of cement under each post. Our build was 18 years ago and have not had any problems.
Love 💕 the flooring you’ve chosen. I think the Luxury Vinyl is a great choice. We’ve had laminate before in a home and even tho it wasn’t low cost laminate? It mushroomed when it had wet sitting on a joint for any time. Love the appearance of the natural wood look and the color is Perfect 👍🏼.
Always happy to Welcome Spring. Especially this year coming out of Covid lock downs. . Finally feeling like Life is getting back to Normal.
Settling happens. I’ve had to tape and sand one corner more than once. Glad it’s almost done. Great job.
OMG, I miss the early spring even having a bonfire w/ pizza, laughing with everyone and enjoying a new season.
Oh no! I was wondering why the front of the house was looking crooked! Just teasing!😊 The kids being kids out playing was very heartwarming. Beautiful property!
Your property is absolutely gorgeous 🌄... The land, the Mountains, Watching the animals run and play... Your house is coming along great.. and you two are just the sweetest, adorable couple...⚘
Flooring sample is Awesome 👏🏻 love it.
Puppies in the warm sun are the best! I just love his muzzle! Drywall is definitely tedious, but oh so worth the monotony of the journey. Wonderful to see it all coming together. My favorite part of this particular video was the kids laughter and the bonfire setting the evening glow. Just awesome! Happy Building~ God Grace, God Bless!
After you fix that beam, why not slope water away from the house and put plastic down and then pea gravel permanently under the front porch roof unless you plan to pour cement. 😃
You should get some samples and paint on the walls in different areas of the house. Each color will look different where the sun hits and lighting too. Paint is so tricky
The house is looking great! Sorry to hear about your post sinking!
Are your footings belew the frost line?
Before you pour the cement pad, excavate an extra 2” and place 2” foam board down. This will protect your pad and post from frost heave.
I’m surprised that you are subbing out the texture and painting? You are definitely capable of doing both!
