This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
What a world we live in. Through this channel, this medium, we can come to love and admire people we have never met and never will. You are a couple that, through this sharing of the most important stage of your life - building home and family - have caused me to love you both and want for you nothing less than all the blessings God can give you.
I love how big and vocal Beau has become, I love how you two work together(Family is everything) and You two are just such good examples for your child
Okay, here I am, coffee in hand and my fav family. Starting my day off right. Everything is really looking. Your sunsets are so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing those beautiful moon shots with us. Your music and editing are the best. Hope your first Mother’s Day was as special as you are. Beau is growing so fast, her chatter was so sweet. Hope you are all staying safe. Thank you for letting us tag along on your amazingadventure❤️
We have treated ourselves to a binge watch, episodes all over the place. Love how determined you are and watching your little one bloom is sheer delight, she chose a pretty wonderful mommy and daddy
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THESE TWO LOVE BIRDS WORKING SO HARD AS A TEAM TO BUILD THEIR DREAM HOME. They are the perfect couple who find laughter and love in all they do. God bless you both, and your precious baby.
I admire your progress and tenacity. But what I admire more is the friendship and how genuine you are towards one another. It's inspiring. Thank you for sharing your magic.
Jan 2, 2021 ~ the smartest thing you did was to video the beginning through the end of your dream home sharing it with the world. Your baby now and those yet to come will be so proud of the two of you. I'm 77 yrs old. My wish book was to accomplish what you both have accomplished. I'm so proud of you for doing it & sharing it with the world. May both of you live happy and extra long lives in a country where we can still do this. Thanks for sharing.
Watching you guys go through this reminds me of my wife and I doing similar work together on a small cape cod house when we were newly married. You will always remember this work and the time spent together making something! I know that I remember these moments with my wife....
What you two are accomplishing by yourselves just leaves my brain in amazement and awe. As a older mother, 67 big ones, I can say I am so proud of you two. I have watched your love between each other and the encouragement and joy you have experienced and shared with us makes it feel like we are family. The other wonderful thing is you did it with having a baby and loving her and takng good care of her. She is a happy little girl. I pray that God will continue to give you strength, Love , and Wisdom, to accomplish everything you two set your minds on. I am so excited and thrilled for your family. Stay true to each other. You give hope to others that love is real.
That's what makes them such an awesome couple to follow!!! I always ♥ enjoy the little things that is shared btwn them plus interacting with Beau and Bear!!!
Just found your vlog this morning. What a couple of sweethearts! That must be some barn or manger to bring a new baby to your loving arms and new home. Your guy is a very special man to have figured this all out. And a sweet new mama to boot! Love you all already. Best wishes from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦
👍🏠 The addition was a GREAT idea! Better to have more than enough than not enough, I'm having a similar dilemma with the container home I'm building, but for me it's land: I think I want more land! Keep it up!
Think Outside The Container “Land, they aren’t making any more of it.” Well, they are.... but unless you are a billionaire (or communist overlord) who owns his own country that he is growing with hard labor of peasants; or have time to wait for lava to be usable beachfront, it doesn’t really matter....
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ land can be pretty expensive that's for sure. I didnt want much for my container home but now that I'm building I wish I had purchased more.
I would suggest extending the deck all the way to the end even if you are going to enclose a porch. That way it will give you more decking even if only part of it is protected by the roof.
I agree...they need a FULL LENGTH DECK.....they will be glad they did after its done...after all....its only an extra 15' or so....even if it's an open deck....they will love it.
That's a great idea and you may eventually want to add screens to the roofed part (it's hard to avoid mosquitos in the humid summers down south) and then you'll have the best of both worlds!
Tom Spooner - Yes, use both wood and metal. There are a number of tiny homes that incorporate both, sometimes alternating strips others with alternating sides and the entrance side in a pattern.
I was lucky to find your channel in the first months back in April 2018. It's no surprise to me that you are approaching three quarters of a million subscribers and your episodes have grossed almost 85 million views. I look forward to Mondays for my little slice of Texan Floridian charm. Your skills not only in home making and building, family, fun too but also in film making as your storytelling is of the finest quality. The music mood choices and comedy elements keep myself and many regular viewers charmed every week. I find myself repeat viewing on Wednesdays or Thursdays just to span the void. I send every best wish to you both and to Bear and Beau. Heartfelt thanks x
Still the cutest baby. She's going to grow up loving this place as her childhood fairytale. Love it guys! As always, you deliver quality and it's getting closer. I'd be emotional too. 👍
Mackenzie, you are hilarious when you do your "Documentary Commentator" routine on Spenser's activities. A long time ago I commented that you were an easy woman to love. I haven't seen anything since to change my mind.
@@darlenedouglas5148 It's a testimony of his love that she feels the confidence to just let her guard completely down to be as silly and girlish as her happiness leads her to feel.
I love that when Bow was born even when she cant understand anything, they still have not cursed like at all. That is what only the best parent's do! I hope that you guys all stay safe and happy!
I stumbled upon this a few weeks ago and watched ever video you guys have posted! It amazes me of how well you guys are doing! I can’t wait until you start working on the inside. Finish work is the best! I love doing that! Tiling, painting, and mud work are my favorite things to do! Have fun and enjoy the memories you are making!
Great job! One thing the flashing is a good idea, but do not wrap it under the boards it will hold moisture and actually rot them. Why not install a small gutter and down spout on the living roof so the water will not fall directly on the steps?
It's coming along so quickly! I love the way it feels to see progress on something you're doing yourself. It's a deep pride that only hard work can bring about. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's day weekend! Sending Love and Light from Mississippi, y'all. ✌🏼💚😊
Do any of you realize the amount of money let alone time it takes not just to do the build, but to make this series? Who quits their job spends tons of cash, films edits produces all the footage? I want to hear the real story. Follow the money. At their age this is the opposite of reality, this is smoke an mirrors. Come on guys give us the story so we can retire so young build our homes kick back and make all us look like dopes.
Would like to see more than just a couple of fleeting glimpses of your Grandfather. He must be tickled with his new Great Granddaughter. I am sure he is super proud of what you have done with the property. You should share his joys too. You all have so much to be thankful for.
wow guys from march 13 (since the quarantine started in spain) until now yo have gained 300k subs, at this rhythm you will have 1 mill and the golden plaque in september, and hopefully the house almost done too. good job...ps you should do a live stream someday
One thing everybody who comments about your videos have in common is that we love you guys. Great seeing you work together and your beautiful baby growing up. God bless your family 👍🙏🏼
The door way that connects your new living room to the rest of the home should be widen. Cut 3 feet more into the container to give it a wider look! Idk I'm just saying.
yay!!! another 18 mins of happy :) thank you guys! Specially, during these challenging times (pandemic), you bring a little joy to us. Your videos are so well made; so creative, music, shots, funny moments, educational, fun and heart warming. You guys should consider making these into a mini series on Netflix, or a movie documentary. Who knows, a reality show one day. Btw, totally love Bear. And omg, how did you shoot the water going into the red bucket and then pouring out from it??? hahaha! Super cool shot!
As an architect, I can tell you that when you don't divert water away from your structure, you are asking for trouble. Water is relentless. My advice is to reconsider this living roof, but you are very capable, so I would love to see how you solve it, and how it handles with age.
@@denisejones7780 I'd agree but they could still enter/exit from the side where the water does not drain. None the less, not a fan of the water pouring over any side. Either add a gutter and downspout or don't do a living roof at least by a doorway.
Your baby is growing so fast! You are good parents. I would never build a troublesome roof garden. That's why there is the ground. Your cinematography is Masterful!!!!
I can’t wait for you guys to move in, that feeling when you finally go to sleep for the first night in your new home, that you built with your own hands, and waking up that next morning...it’s going to be the most incredible feeling. I am so excited for you so I can’t even imagine how ya’ll feel!!!!
This made my day! I'm like a kid at Christmas time......as soon as I got the notification for your video I was super excited! I look forward to seeing y'all. Your home is coming together so nicely. I can't wait till the day of moving in comes. Hugs and love from Oklahoma! 😊❤😊❤😊❤
Video 3. I've been watching Spencer and Mackenzie build there home. I'm very impressed and again inspired by there videos. I truly love how much love and thought they put into this home. Congratulations on Jr. He's so adorable. Spencer you are doing such a great job. Learning so much thank you.....
At last my wait is over after week long, u all three fine . I was waiting for ur videos like never before in my life. May Allah protect u and ur family. Always be happy
You two are the cutest couple ever! Compliment each other so well. Love the idea of building your lives together. So lucky to have be given that beautiful piece of land to grow your family on. Look forward to move-in day but hope it's not the end of your adventures together.
Hy,,,young folks! I just want to say you both can and should be the happiest couple I have ever seen.very rare piece of human being. Especially today when most of the youngsters can not even tighten a bolt.You young lady along with your husband are Two in a billion! Thank you to upload it.hut off to you all four.
Your baby is growing quickly, seems like every time I tune in, the baby is getting bigger. They don't stay little long enough. But you two have come a long way toward getting it finished and it will be worth the wait. I did not want to forget your brown four footed guardian angel.
I know they ignore comments, but I commented when he built it, it was too flat even for a non living roof. not to mention those weeds and such will start to grow up and behind the siding. Seen it happen on may residing jobs I've done where the siding is to close to finished grade. Additionally he did not extend it out far enough so all that water beating down on the stairs will wear out the red wood and treated sub frame they are built on. Remember treated and red wood do rot, it just takes longer for them to do so.
They gonna have big problem with weeding and/or dead plants. In the beginning, they may tend the living roof religiously, but as time pass, life happen and eventually it becomes why bother to keeping it up... ...
I also don't get the attraction to that thing. Will the water just run down like that over your porch steps all the time? ? Maybe install a gutter to direct it off to the side ? ? ? Why?
I just love, love your relationship. You guys are awesome. You don't give up. Just keep on going. To be honest I tried to see other videos but I stop right away from watching there's definitely tons of love in your videos. May God bless you and keep you safe. I just love your baby.🌹
Looking good...... and love hearing your bby talking....that's SO GREAT when they finally learn how to talk. And nothing is better than hearing lil kids laughing...
Having the right tools you can do mostly anything .. Spencer should reach out to tool companies for sponsors what better advertising for tool companies to show tools with a non experienced build
Watching you work together is so much more enjoyable than watching t.v. shows. A lot more entertaining and a lot more interesting. You two (now three) are living a life much more richer than any millionaire. A lot of memories are being made. Nice!
Last frame from the solar panels of to the house, the windows are in! It looks GREAT! 🎉 I can watch for hours... you guy's are a ton of fun and remind me so much of the days I build my house with my partner, and yes.. when it's finished you won't be able to believe it.. the crying happened later on 😊
wow for me its the single aspect i hate. there must be a name for this type of trashy corny ass music you never hear this type of crap anywhere else but youtube. not on the the charts not on the radio not on tv, i wonder where this crap actually comes from? lol
Good call to make that change! More room to live and enjoy the beautiful views. Super interesting looking and spot on craftsmanship...congratulations to the three of you!
The living roofs are one more place for snakes, spiders, and scorpions, to hang out, when I lived in E. Texas were bad enough that when you put your boots on in the morning you checked for brown recluse spiders and scorpions! I'm just saying.
Just an idea. Would you consider a couple of larger, floor to ceiling, windows instead of five smaller ones? I think you will enjoy that wonderful view better and will make that living room feel bigger and airier.
I thought the exact same thing! It would also extend that deck feeling you guys wanted with the bigger deck and in the hot summer days the giant window becomes the TV!
Guys Sorry, but save yourselves some problems in the future. Ditch the live porch roof. They always leak eventually. Not to mention, possibly having mold close to your living quarters, in the future. Luv your show.
It will rot and fall in. It's just not a good Idea. Holding water on the roof is the opposite of what you want to do. Love everything else you do. Just think of all of the things you have learned to do.
I have been involved with or seen roughly 45 or 50 living roofs. About 25 of them are over 10 years old now and have had absolutely not a single problem. The rest have had varying amounts of problems. In every single case without exception, the ones that have not worked well or have had rot problems have had engineering defects or build defects. Properly designed you should be able to get 20 to 30 years without maintenance on a well done living roof. Nature builds her own natural ones, and they work perfectly. If we learn from her techniques, we can build our own and have them work perfectly...stated from experience, not cuz someone told me so lol.
I just happened to to be browsing and came upon this page. I'm now addicted and I have so much admiration for your family. I cant help but want the best for you. What an awesome team, you are an inspiration. Thank you for making my day.

I do really admire you both of you. What a great couple you are.
Veri good
Beautiful scenery
And a beautiful and cosy home good job
My heart just melted when Mackenzie was reading those books to Beau. My little girls acted the same way at that age. I love these guys.
Happy Belated Mother's day Mackenzie!
Let everyone know about this channel so we can push them closer to the million subscribers !!!!
Happy (late) Mother's Day
💐🌻🌸🌹🌺🏵 Mackenzie!
Being a Mom it the hardest & most rewarding JOB! You're an awesome woman, wife & mom
@@MicheleWalkerWebb So is being a Dad :) Not a father, a Dad.
I so admire this couple: their tenacity, patience, resourcefulness and love for each other.
I predict soon after completion of the house, they will get a divorce.
This is an amazing woman...she has a baby in one hand and holding sheeting with the other.
I love how big and vocal Beau has become, I love how you two work together(Family is everything) and You two are just such good examples for your child

Happy Belated Mother’s Day! Your home is coming along beautifully.
There is SOOoooo much that I love about this series, these people, and this home; but I am STILL scratching my head over this Living Roof.
Many of us are. The living roof is a pain in the a**
Happy Mother's day the house is coming along beautifully. Stay safe
I admire your progress and tenacity. But what I admire more is the friendship and how genuine you are towards one another. It's inspiring. Thank you for sharing your magic.

You know you married the right woman when she has the baby on her and helping him build...amazing demonstration of love here...
The baby probably thinks there are floor crocodiles. Mine did. You either hold them and do stuff or you don't get anything done. :)
MacKenzie, Happy Mother’s Day.
I hope it was an extra special day
for you!
Continuing to overcome obstacles! I love the "never quit" attitude!
Luv your show, and your baby, and baby donkey, and whoever picks the music does a super job.
Watching you guys go through this reminds me of my wife and I doing similar work together on a small cape cod house when we were newly married. You will always remember this work and the time spent together making something! I know that I remember these moments with my wife....
Happy mother's day ❤❤ hope you had a wonderful day !
You are a strong together family 💪🏽👨👩👧
Terri Hintz 💯🤙
And that’s on period
I'm pretty sure I have never watched a more talented couple on YT, continued best to you both.

Yes, your efforts will soon be rewarded.. and of course the secret to have a happy house is always share the love inside of house😁
Making great progress, can’t wait to see the interior come together.

Spencer, the real man, with so much courage support and above all patience.....,,,,,,,,,,,
He is so hot
She, too....

You guys are so awesome, I admire you and wish you so much joy and Happiness, I send you God's blessing.
When the house will be complete. Can't wait to see the interior design
The house Is not done yet lot to do here

Take time ❎ here
Muy bonitas como pudieran hacerme una igual esa de los 2 contenedores

Congratulations on your life's success, it is so extraordinary to see a couple building a lifetime. Hope you are safe.
Watching from India 🇮🇳 with love 💖
If you still have the interior cut outs from the shipping containers you should add them to the outside of the addition to tie it in.
Tom Spooner - Yes, use both wood and metal. There are a number of tiny homes that incorporate both, sometimes alternating strips others with alternating sides and the entrance side in a pattern.

rexSantaAna420 I agree.
It would definitely open it up more especially for when Beau is riding on her toys or carrying things out to the living room and then the porch too!!
@Red Slinger nothing is impossible
I thought they were gonna open it up completely, no? 😳 I thought they said that in an earlier episode?! Or was it just wishful thinking on my part. 😬
I agree. A small living room can seem smaller if traffic is blocked at the entrance by people hanging around.
yay!!! another 18 mins of happy :) thank you guys! Specially, during these challenging times (pandemic), you bring a little joy to us.

If I were him, I'd pour a concrete base with an angle facing away from the house
I would too. So much land to grow, why add excess moisture and chance of rotting to the house structure.
I agree. It ain't worth it. You're not in an urban concrete jungle after all!
Add a gutter and downspout?

I love this series. I make sure I put it on my watch later list so i never miss an episode. Keep up the great work from Australia.
I get so misty-eyed when the family is all together...
Like the fact that you add an addition for a living room. Is there a reason why you didn’t made it little bigger?
I can’t wait for you guys to move in, that feeling when you finally go to sleep for the first night in your new home, that you built with your own hands, and waking up that next morning...it’s going to be the most incredible feeling.

This made my day! I'm like a kid at Christmas time......as soon as I got the notification for your video I was super excited! I look forward to seeing y'all. Your home is coming together so nicely. I can't wait till the day of moving in comes. Hugs and love from Oklahoma! 😊❤😊❤😊❤

Just started watching their videos. I LOVE both these kids. They are just so wonderful!

At last my wait is over after week long, u all three fine . I was waiting for ur videos like never before in my life. May Allah protect u and ur family. Always be happy
The house is looking great you two! Beau's a cutie -- love the "talking"...sweet!
You two are the cutest couple ever! Compliment each other so well. Love the idea of building your lives together. So lucky to have be given that beautiful piece of land to grow your family on. Look forward to move-in day but hope it's not the end of your adventures together.
Hy,,,young folks! I just want to say you both can and should be the happiest couple I have ever seen.very rare piece of human being. Especially today when most of the youngsters can not even tighten a bolt.You young lady along with your husband are Two in a billion! Thank you to upload it.hut off to you all four.
Your baby is growing quickly, seems like every time I tune in, the baby is getting bigger. They don't stay little long enough. But you two have come a long way toward getting it finished and it will be worth the wait. I did not want to forget your brown four footed guardian angel.
86 the front "living roof" idea. That is your house. You don't need problems. Save that stuff for the garden shed and outhouse.
I couldn't agree more. Those are fun ideas for out buildings but not your house.
I know they ignore comments, but I commented when he built it, it was too flat even for a non living roof. not to mention those weeds and such will start to grow up and behind the siding. Seen it happen on may residing jobs I've done where the siding is to close to finished grade. Additionally he did not extend it out far enough so all that water beating down on the stairs will wear out the red wood and treated sub frame they are built on. Remember treated and red wood do rot, it just takes longer for them to do so.
They gonna have big problem with weeding and/or dead plants. In the beginning, they may tend the living roof religiously, but as time pass, life happen and eventually it becomes why bother to keeping it up... ...
I'd scratch the living roof on the house. This will not be the last of it, I have a feeling.
I also don't get the attraction to that thing. Will the water just run down like that over your porch steps all the time? ? Maybe install a gutter to direct it off to the side ? ? ? Why?
@@TomLloyd-18 I've never quite understood what the point of it is. I mean I don't see many cons to it but I also don't really see what it helps.
It's an experiment , it it causes more problems they'll probably remove it. Moreover its not above their actual house .
The heavy rains in Texas will make you wish that the living roof idea never occurred to you. Love you guys
Ugh. I agree. Just a nightmare. So much land ti grow things. Just put fake grass up there for God's sake.
I just love, love your relationship. You guys are awesome.
You don't give up. Just keep on going.
To be honest I tried to see other videos but I stop right away from watching there's definitely tons of love in your videos.
May God bless you and keep you safe.
I just love your baby.🌹
Looking good...... and love hearing your bby talking....that's SO GREAT when they finally learn how to talk. And nothing is better than hearing lil kids laughing...
OMGOSH! MacKenzie, you are so fricken funny!!! NEVER stop your sense of humor!
By far, my favourite couple on the internet.
Having the right tools you can do mostly anything .. Spencer should reach out to tool companies for sponsors what better advertising for tool companies to show tools with a non experienced build
So very nice to see the dog around...what a wonderful home he is going to have when everything is done...
Window's and insulation !! Home stretch is right in front of you. Great job you 2. Stay safe and healthy. God bless.
"oh snap, we've been spotted!",....I spit my coffee out laughing so hard at you! Love you guys journey.
Snap was current over 20 years ago. But it is Texas, O yes, it was very funny
jerry demas yup lol. That accent was spot on
I really enjoy coming along on your journey. Your home is going to be beautiful ❤️❤️
Happy belated Mother’s Day Mackenzie.
Watching you work together is so much more enjoyable than watching t.v. shows. A lot more entertaining and a lot more interesting. You two (now three) are living a life much more richer than any millionaire. A lot of memories are being made. Nice!
Last frame from the solar panels of to the house, the windows are in! It looks GREAT! 🎉
I can watch for hours... you guy's are a ton of fun and remind me so much of the days I build my house with my partner, and yes.. when it's finished you won't be able to believe it.. the crying happened later on 😊
Hey Spen, keep up the good work. And Mackenzie, never loose your humour :-)
Does anyone else love the music in all these episodes?
wow for me its the single aspect i hate. there must be a name for this type of trashy corny ass music you never hear this type of crap anywhere else but youtube. not on the the charts not on the radio not on tv, i wonder where this crap actually comes from? lol
Albert Kelly Hate to admit it but it’s awful. When I watch I just mute until I see lips moving, kinda. lol
Yes wish i had them, they very relaxing
It is pleasant :)
The editing is on point, it has improved well just like your home. Good job guys.
I Personally think the editing was ALWAYS spot on !!. ..but that's just my thoughts 👍
I'm not sure I fully believe this is just all them and only them.
Good call to make that change! More room to live and enjoy the beautiful views. Super interesting looking and spot on craftsmanship...congratulations to the three of you!
What I like the most, is the love you have for each other, I almost forgot what love is supposed to look like.
Wow the side profile of the baby looks a lot like Spencer, especially in the eyes
The living roofs are one more place for snakes, spiders, and scorpions, to hang out, when I lived in E. Texas were bad enough that when you put your boots on in the morning you checked for brown recluse spiders and scorpions! I'm just saying.
Just an idea. Would you consider a couple of larger, floor to ceiling, windows instead of five smaller ones?
I think you will enjoy that wonderful view better and will make that living room feel bigger and airier.
I thought the exact same thing! It would also extend that deck feeling you guys wanted with the bigger deck and in the hot summer days the giant window becomes the TV!
With you on this Leo. A couple of larger windows would be awesome - even if they were only the same height as these ones.
Love your drive and your laughter is contagious! Your videos are highly inspirational! Blessings to you and your family!
What a man! Love and treasure him with all you've got. He's a keeper. 😍❤️🙏
It’s 1am n about to sleep, then notification popped up & 18:04 of Life unContained .. I’m sleeping at 1:18am ..
Koii22 Tuipulotu Australia ? Same. Lol
The Flytrap Garden .. yep! Haha Darwin Northern Territory ;)
Guys Sorry, but save yourselves some problems in the future. Ditch the live porch roof. They always leak eventually. Not to mention, possibly having mold close to your living quarters, in the future. Luv your show.
Suggestion. Plant ivy on your living roof. Different colors. That would be beautiful.
I'm with Scott.Just asking for trouble.
It will rot and fall in. It's just not a good Idea. Holding water on the roof is the opposite of what you want to do. Love everything else you do. Just think of all of the things you have learned to do.
Living roofs last forever when done right.
I have been involved with or seen roughly 45 or 50 living roofs. About 25 of them are over 10 years old now and have had absolutely not a single problem. The rest have had varying amounts of problems. In every single case without exception, the ones that have not worked well or have had rot problems have had engineering defects or build defects. Properly designed you should be able to get 20 to 30 years without maintenance on a well done living roof. Nature builds her own natural ones, and they work perfectly. If we learn from her techniques, we can build our own and have them work perfectly...stated from experience, not cuz someone told me so lol.
Beau’s face was precious when she saw the baby ducks.
Beautiful people creating a beautiful home. Enjoy watching their down to earth videos.
I just happened to to be browsing and came upon this page. I'm now addicted and I have so much admiration for your family. I cant help but want the best for you. What an awesome team, you are an inspiration. Thank you for making my day.
