Good morning everyone! Thanks for tuning in :)
Do you think we can get dried in before winter?! (There's still another storey to frame 😬)
Yes u will. You have made great progress and still have a few months before the snow hits.
Yes
After watching several videos I strongly believe you will have success. Keep up the great work and great videos
Looking forward to your next video. The build is shaping up nicely
Ya'll are tearing it up, but try to remember, with exhaustion comes accidents. Pace yourself, stay hydrated, take breaks, and be careful. The window mistake was just a hiccup compared to falling from a ladder 2 stories up. Love what you're doing
looks like the OSB survived the rain!!
The t-shirt at the beginning threw me way off 😂 great progress on framing!!
Ok. You will get it all worked . You learn out to keep you mind on what you are doing.
Watching you two stand up the walls gives new meaning to the lyrics "Baby's got Back" ahh U guys are too young to know that song ! ✌️💜🎸
No we are not ;)
Wearing flip flops on a construction site that’s a no no . Love your videos
never work tired or hungry ( really I would never get anything done ) just don't get hangry!!
watching you ,now// at my age --,I have to take a nap , lol
love the big hammer you are the man !!!
It's coming along fine, looking good.
Awesome job guys! Well, except for the window thingy. Oh, and the hammer trick...😆🤣
Nice framing.
Amazing and so much fun to see. I love it when you show us also your struggles when making mistakes. And kudos for the guy who helped you out. He was helping with one arm fracturde. At least that is my guess.
don't forget to cut the bottom side of the door space, leave the top half inch which can be cut from the top without scarring the floor. This will make it easier to cut it clear once you install the wall.
Looks good you can only do your best
I also worry about sandals on the work site (steel toe boots are like seat belts save you from that once in a lifetime accident)!!
Thank you! Great mistake fix! Ron PTL USA
Wow you guys are flying now. My fingers are crossed that you'll be be dried in by winter. Keep it up and keep making me smile.
Thanks
Good job awesome keep it up close it up set the wood stove
Winter's coming no time to squawk on camera will figure it out or you'll explain it during a blizzard lol! Take care be safe
looking awesome guys thanks for sharing
oh and mistakes are part of the learning process we all make them keep up the great work and awesome videos
Thanks 😊
Lots of work and learning. Great job
Keep the good up, you should get there 👍
Love it! I life there is always something if nothing go wrong u ain't doing nothing!!!
Greg, is it a crime to not like IPA? Enjoying a couple Heineken’s watching your content! 🍺 🤩
Hard work makes any beer taste amazing!
you need to try turkeys ducks and peacocks next
I've decided to watch all your series from the beginning 😁
Thats awesome, thanks!
You have become my favorite youtubers!..
You remind me of myself doing the same build in the 80's..hang in there, don't worry about mistakes..they
Make life worth living..
Take care of each other!
I love chickens too!..try turkeys!
How can I send you something?..take care,Jay
Thanks 😊
We will set up a mail box soon

Thanks
Glad you are able to incorporate some of your own cut lumber into build! The more you can do that the more I hope you can save on money!
Flat roof means you got to tar and bitumen that bish ! And get a slope on it somehow 😁✌️ great progress !
It does look amazing ! You know what els is amazing , the two of you hold down full time jobs, take care of your critters & are building a beautiful house. Great work kids !! 👍👍👍
I see that Katie is checking the lumber before you get it, making sure its straight , good job with the framing.
Guys you are doing really well with the build well done, kev from the UK.
Guys are doing a great job. Everyone makes mistakes dont worry about that. Just fix it and learn from the mistake.
Absolutely loved his smile filling the generator! Thanks so much for filming the build of your home, it’s so cool to watch you creating a great life together out there!
Extraordinary workmanship here. Even I can see that! Wishing all the best and I'm rooting for you!
Awesome work you guys!
Hey good morning you guys how you guys doing you guys are doing a good job I know I'm sorry about the loss of your chickens but sometimes you can always get more chickens or put them in a breeding thing and hatch your own chicken eggs all right guys have a great day keep up the good work guys we love you guys
I know you made a mistake but at least you have it sorted out before it was too late, it is all coming together and looking good, that must be down to awesome teamwork. well done.
I love your videos very entertaining, keep em coming
Great video you two, just subscribed last week, were going off grid in about 3 to 4 years here in
Ontario
It’s coming along great y’all!! Keep up the good work!! 😊🤙🏽👍🏽
Thanks 😊
@@ThisOffGridLife you’re welcome! 😊 looking forward to seeing the next episode !! 😎🤙🏽
THIS that is what you call them , Not whatever you call them . Just saying , call them what they are.
We just got our internet back and WOAH you guys have made so much progress!! Way to go!!
You guys should check out Tiny Shiny Home 30 day challenge. They posted it on their video yesterday. Pretty sure you'd guys would crush it!
Well done you two! And getting help lifting the wall frame from a guy with a cast on his arm... priceless!!! 😁😁 I hope the smokey air goes away soon. I can't wait until we get chickens. Husband & I want a few goats too. Goat butter is yum. We eat (not often as it's expensive) goat milk ice cream (yummy yum). Keep safe & well. 😊
Wow, you guys are killing it. Looks awesome.
Thanks for letting us share in your journey. You both are doing a great job. 👍
Love watching you kids. Lowers my blood pressure. Also like all your critter shots. Yeah, I think you’ll get er dried in for winter. Think it will be some indoors camping type arrangement probably . Stay safe, get some rest. Y’all look pretty whooped.
Thanks, we are feeling the exhaustion!
@@ThisOffGridLife you’re probably thinking this way already but I’d suggest just getting minimal interior first floor framing done, enough to support the second floor joists, then bang up the second floor and get roof on. Then make a warm insulted living space on the first floor to hibernate for the winter. Probably gonna need to weather wrap the exterior to save your sheathing. Hell….Maybe even just flat roof the first floor for the winter. I’m just trying to lookout for y’all!
So happy for you guys! What an exciting time! Keep up the great work!
So refreshing watching the both of you working to create your dream together. There are no mistakes in Life, it's just growing knowledge & experience.
Thanks for sharing your Journey with us
I'm so glad for you guys..... the fact that you guys are doing it all by yourself makes it great... Take your time and enjoy this chapter in your life... Your building a future...thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😊
The secret to being a good carpenter is knowing how to fix your mistakes , just sawsall blades not a jack hammer
Unless u are a carpenter who builds houses everyday, mistakes will happen. Both of u are doing a great job. U work hard with planning and determination. U will succeed! Best wishes!!!
Great Job on the build. hard work for sure. we have been watching your back videos and about your compost. great way doing it with the stucco wire, and plastic tube for air. I've always just stirred mine but its super heavy, will try that. love learning about composting. Huge concern I have is your adding dog feces due to parasites. Dogs eat everything in the forests can pick up many kinds accidentaly. If the temperature is not high enough the parasites can live. some are cysts they are harder to kill. I also think it would be wise to have a separate visitor compost and not use in your garden to be safer to not introduce any parasites unknowingly, and or drugs they maybe on. from your garden. Yes many people even us Canadians have parasites without knowing. I am all for composting but parasite infection is horrible and some cysts types can be difficult to get rid of. awesome videos.
Que avanze le disteis animo que llega el frio y el agua
Patience is the Common Denominator . U two 🐝 have it Congratulations for erecting the walls and lifting them… 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌸🌼❤️🌷🌷💐🌹
Well done guy's, a great job think you're both great.
Love the vids.
Thanks 😊
When framing the doors and windows you should shoot the headers and cripples to the studs first then put the other studs that way you have plenty of room to attach header properly
You kids are amazing!! While I don’t know Greg and his family I do know Katie’s family and I am not surprised. Her mom is an awesome woman and so is her grandmother! 💃. Hope you get the roof on before the rains!!!
Ilovechickens too..nice teamwork love it
They are so fun!
You are doing amazing work. Nice progress. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so excited for you!! Looks AMAZING!!!
Thanks 😊
Nice t-shirt , i want it too
Hai.. from Malaysia...
You are an impressive and determined hard working couple. Great work and hey, everybody makes mistakes every now and then. Sure it's discouraging and time consuming and a little waste of money at times, but like you said Katie, it's not the end of the world. I,m sure you will both be happy with the end result. Sure hope you get enough rain soon to get rid of that hateful smoke. Keep up the great work.
I don't know if you will make the winter "dead line", but I am amazed at the progress you are making :) Seems like it's flying along. Very happy for you.
As they say, poop happens. Keep up the great work
Good lord! Is the smoke from the wildfires that bad! Smoky as hell! Just like South Lake Tahoe! Insanity! Do you guys have the Bladerunner 2049 sky?
It was really bad for a while but they have the fires near us under control now and we had a lot of rain
14:52 do the sheeting and use winch or come a long to lift ( sit still and think and it will all come to you )
It's not about making mistakes, it's how you recover from your mistake that shows character and gives you knowledge. Great attitude, just gotta move on! Y'all are doing some impressive work! 👍 🏠 😉
🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
Hay your doing
a GOOD job it looks very good to me... Where are you??
Katie this means you have to get the Cat's Paw out and start pulling nails, don't worry the Cat's Paw makes pulling nails easy, I once had to move a 12' Wall and I had to remove a lot of nails but we did the job in about 2 hours then made it right and finished some other stuff.
It's looking amazing!
Don't beat yourself up. Even long time pros make mistakes. You fix it and move on.
The only mistake you can't recover from is one where someone dies, so maybe skip the hammer juggling ?
❤️
Awesome
Great progress 👍
I live in California we don't get much rain but FLAT roofs usually leak more..maybe rethink roof to slide snow rain fall 💕👍👍job guys
Greg is a roofer my trade, we'll have the best roof in town!
I just found your channel and have watched them and it brings back a lot of memories. I have a LT-30 Woodmizer that I bought in 1990 and cut all my framing for our 2800 sf three story home. I used all Beetle kill wood for my framing. Some things I noticed that might help you. If you have a log that is tapered lets say 24" at one end and 20" at the other end I put a 2" block under the 20" end of the log so I have straighter grain through my lumber. Also I've noticed if I cut lumber from a lug that has a curve in it the boards most likely will end up with a bow in them. Also I mostly only cut dry logs. Keep up the great work guys and I look forward to more videos.
You two are making huge progress! Can you keep up that pace? 2x6 walls? Can’t believe how fast bottom floor went up👍 Hoping your getting some break on your lumber! B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
is that the one armed man from The Fugitive ?
Good morning watching new video today 09 05 21 👍👍👍❤
Looking great guys! I assume the flat roof will be accessible for summer use from the second floor? If so, are you gonna use something like duradeck as a roofing material? Slope for water run off? Sorry bout all the questions lol , 30 yrs as a carpenter the curiosity is killing me😁🔨 Maybe you could answer them in next vid if your at that stage by then. Can't wait!! Cheers from the Kootenays!
Yes, part deck, part something else super cool and top secret. You'll have to wait and see 😄
@@ThisOffGridLife Cool, can't wait!
Hi guys! Aren't your windows bit high? They're suposed to be at 90cm (35/36 inches)? Also, the bottom and top plates should be interlocked to add more rigidity. All the best to you. Keep up the good work.
Muy buen video. Además se ve hermoso q su pareja lo acompañe en la construcción, pues así se valoran más las cosas. Un abrazo y saludos desde chile.
No, not IPA! You guys rock.
About your shirt comment “ I think they all should be wiped out “. 😳😂😂😂
Lol it might be hard to find a roofer. never been out west but stays pretty mild doesn’t it ? So if you don’t you will still be ok 👍
Greg is a roofer by trade. We'll have the best roof around!
@@ThisOffGridLife I was trying to be funny
if you don't have enough people you can always lift a exterior wall with a come a long
I see you forgot my room. Just a minor oversight I’m sure. Next time. 🤣🤣
Katie did I see some Guinne foul?? Careful, those things breed like rabbits, before you know it, there’s 30 of them and they’ll take over everything, lol!! Also, you guys are gonna be so buff at the end of this house build!! Loving the progress!!! 😂👏🏻❤️
Yes, just 2 hems though
@@ThisOffGridLife that’s good!! Lol!! 😅
