I'm so in awe of your progress I've been working in new construction and remodeling and working with 5 to 10 carpenter's for 45 yrs. To see just two people take on this enormous task is truly a testament to your grit and determination. Just live your channel so much. Keep on Keeping on you both are making incredible progress.
A house is just walls, floors and a roof but, a home makes memories, that are held in your mind and close to your heart. You have been blessed to always have had a home.
You might want to think about putting up blocking in the walls for pictures, television’s, drapes or blinds. So you’ll have something to screw into besides drywall.
Good job you two, with several chuckles along the way. Your children are the sweetest, well mannered and respectful little people ever, kudo's to that as well. Until next week, ya'll stay safe!
Love you both, soulmates are hard to come together and find each other. You two are clearly soulmates and more. Love you both. I pray I find mine x Keep up the good work.
I love all your beautiful children. Each one is so special. But your little guy is the special joy of my heart. He just Blesses my soul. My son is now 35 but I still remember him at that age.
I’ve got to say it again, y’all are the greatest! Some advertising agency is gonna try to hire y’all to be their creative team. Jeremy, you are such a good sport, I love it! Stay safe guys, praying for you!! 😊❤️🙏🏼
Ha - I love that you said bugger off to the kids. Just reinforces what a real, normal family you have. As a Brit, we say that a fair amount! All the best to you all x.
That last shot was a nice finish to the work we all got to watch you do. I'm in a hospital bed recovering my lungs from COVID and I really need these moments with you guys. It's lonely but not as bad when I get that needed distraction. Hopefully I'll be home soon.
Let's face it you're just waiting for the infomercials she's just hilarious. Get well my friend and watch out for the boxes of cereal coming in from the nurses
Still believing in Santa Claus...um....what's your underlying health condition and what were you doing before ending up in the hospital...i.e. wearing a mask for the past year maybe? Think logical...they haven't even isolated this planned virus yet, and using the PCR research tool is adjustable...not a diagnostic tool. Just saying...you probably made yourself sick by suffocating your respiratory system. Smh...can't believe people are buying this brainwashing by corrupt CDC, media and government regarding a flu bug that is 99.8% recoverable. Big pharma is paying for all the marketing and advertising...FEAR FEAR FEAR. Stop watching TV, ingesting fluoride and junk food.
@@MusicLovingFool1 The mask is a good source for a guilty verdict. I do very little outside of work so no clue on where I got it. Nobody else at work got it even from me. Family got it a week after I did.
Ah, but this house does hold memories already. Ones of you building it wall by wall. The little ones running through. The joy of each stud standing, each task complete. Looking forward for the next project, and the love you put into each task. Just think of the story that this house can already tell. Some see just a frame, but it’s the house that love built. God bless
The memories that you are creating by building your home is immeasurable. The love that you have for each other and for your family is awesome. Thank you for including us on your journey.
When you see her you need to make an obsense amount of noise so she will feel it is unsafe for her and her babies to be there the louder the better. ~ and if that fails flash bangs that you can place along her trail that are motion activated... won't kill her but she will get the hint big time!
@@chateaumojo yes mentioned airhorns to them on first video they do work I am in New Hampshire tons of bears etc and airhorns work sometimes if not have to dial it up a bit and flash bangs are the next step or motion activated alarms louder the better!
100% agreed! MOST channels I skip past the sponsored portion of teh video, as they are usually BORING! These folks are very creative in how they present the sponsor portion, & I look forward to seeing what they do for the next one!
This channel is uplifting and inspiring - thank you so much, for bringing us along on your adventure. 💜 Hard working husband and wife, respectful, joyful children - even your animals are well behaved. You keep things cleaned up and organized, no shouting or interruptions. By far the best video on youtube this week. Keep up the great work! love you all 💜👍🏼
Okay you did it Melissa, you made me cry. Brought me to think of the house with my mom and dad, to the place my first husband and I lived to the tiny places Bill and I lived with our baby, to where I am now. I’ve been here 48 years and there’s a lot of memories here, good and bad, but it’s home, my home that I’m putting up for sale. How do you leave all that. Okay now I’m blubber again !! Love you guys ❤️❤️
Those words about houses are true! Your memories of the build will be awesome! I think you did the best thing for your children! I left California and raised my children in rural Oklahoma! They are your age and doing amazing! It is best for Christian adults! Your little guy is so precious and all of them seem so well mannered and respectful ! Good job Momma and Dad! I say a prayer for all of you when I finish the vlog! God bless ..
Your memories have already begun with this build. In time you will look back and remember putting up those walls, the momma bear and her cubs, and just the time spent working side by side. And you will look back with pride at a job well done and a beautiful home built with hard work and love.
Looking better and better every day! So beautiful there when the sun is starting to come down. So beautiful! Thank you for letting me share in the wonder of it all. God bless you, hope Momma and her bears move on along soon! 🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Living on acreage we had our 2 beautiful Maremma LGD girls who looked out for the whole family but especially the kids when they were outside playing. We don’t have bears but they patrolled the property and all the local wildlife knew it was their territory. One would sit by the youngest while she was playing and the other would take a higher view point and watch. We always kept an eye out but to have that extra layer of security was incredibly helpful especially as we had a lot of snakes. They will train you and the kids and we all knew the snake bark!
In Barrow AK we had guys called bear hazers to chase the polar bears out of town, they used air burst rounds fired from 12 ga shot guns. The bears usually took the hint and left. You can buy them off of google, non military types.
The more that you get done on your home the more excited I get. I can only imagine how it makes you feel. Great job guys and an awesome job on your videos. Love it when the animals come to you looking for hugs and kisses as well as your beautiful children.
looks like maybe you guys should seriously consider getting a couple of livestock guard dogs. that'll keep the bears away and keep your animals safe. the only downside of LGD's is that they can bark a lot at night. but, it might be worth it lol. love watching your vlogs! Melissa, I'm just in awe of you and everything you do, you go girl!!
As a custom home builder my son framed many houses and I got the cut pile concession...my favorite part of watching him build was the framing. It's like watching a flower bloom in early spring for me...every room going up is like another color coming out. You are making your flower bloom and it's spectacular.
Melissa, you always give the most beautiful and thought provoking soliloquy at the end. It makes the end of each video bittersweet.( I hate its the end but I always leave with food for thought) Thank you. You have a gift for sure.
What a beautiful family you are I so enjoy watching your videos. You should become a writer,you describe life so well. It leaves a nice feeling in my soul Thank you and God Bless your family on this wonderful journey .
You might think about a pocket door into the bathroom. We have a pocket door leading from our walk in closet into our master bath. We gain additional space in our closet. Another pocket door into the toilet room may also be an option. Melissa, you could be a director for videos. You have a talent there.
When the bear is in the area make sure you just cut the fire a couple shots off and she won't come back she'll stay away from that area because she don't want to come around with her cubs
You guys are such an inspiration . I am about to start a new journey, a new life direction.I lost my husband in 2019 , it’s been rough without him. Now the time has come for me to move forward, sell our home and start over. Just bought 4.6 acres of alfalfa fields to make my little Heaven on earth. You given me great ideas and answers to questions I didn’t know to ask….Thank you
Oh man...you guys are master youtubers! Your commercials are hysterical! Love the kids and all that goes into your day-day life...then your comments at the end...whoa...awesome guys! Love ya'll! Oh, we have a black bear in a pasture next to ours...owners said has never bothered any of his cattle, birthing moms...freaked out when first learned...but into our 3'rd year here homesteading...nothing has happened...guess it is a lone male...bachelor...we can live in harmony...
Wow. Y'all are making great progress. Love the paid promotions y'all do. You make it fun. Looking forward to the next video and what may be on the trail cam. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Wow, a 7'X16' walk in closet is a dream come true for me! That's a Master suite not a bedroom area! Very nice! Black bears usually scare easily with noise. Air horns, fireworks and shooting blanks for a couple days usually encourages Momma to move her cubs to a safer location. If you find a lost baby turkey you can raise it up for a holiday dinner. Sometimes mom can't keep track of them all and with a few slight changes in food turkeys can be raised with the chickens. Keep those eyes open out there.
Wow what a great accomplishment....I remember when we built our home ...goes from open to getting smaller when the walls go up and just wait till it gets smaller when you put drywall up. Just be careful since you have mama bear 🐻🐻
Also, just a thought, I’ve noticed that the sliding barn door is getting very popular for bathrooms and you don’t have to worry about the door swinging in or out taking up space. Just FYI. 🙂
Congratulations on the finished framing. Save as much of the scrap pile as you can. When I was a kid, my grandfather would make toys for me from some of the scraps. Later, I did the same for my son. The scraps will come in handy in the shop. While you are framing, consider building one of the small rooms into a safe room too. You need to scare the bear off before your garden and livestock become too tempting for her. I figure the chickens are most at risk. BTW a grizzly bear recently attacked a hiker in Yellowstone. Good Luck, Rick
Would solve the problem of the bathroom and toilet doors being so close to each other, though they aren't as reliable as regular doors. in the long term
Home is where the heart is, our place is warm and caring, we are building our nest, at the end we shall rest, but for now at this time, we are committed to sharing.... 💗😉
Melissa I really love the floor plan on your house, it's beautiful, spacious, and that view from the "Master Suite", (I don't think I would ever leave that room LOL.) However, Jeremy's "toilet room" is quite lovely too! 😁 The two of you have created some of the most wonderful memories there already, such a great way to start a new chapter to your lives.
Enjoy watching your adventure building your new life on your homestead. Beautiful land and it is going to be a beautiful home. What memories you are making! BLESSINGS to you and your family.
Always look forward to a new video from you folks... And lately, I've looked forward to Melissa's little story toward the end of each video:) I also look forward to the snarky yet very funny comments (often at Jeremy's expense) from folks with the same strange sense of humor as my own
Very nice Folks! Every word, every thought, what a wisdom!! You seem to know what really counts in Life itself!! Building 'your own' dream and making memories at the same time. Did you see how much that can offer for your children?? An example for all of us! Keep up the good work please!
what a great visit! Your filming and story telling are so wonderful! I found myself both excited and wanting more! The overhead shots really helped me see your dream and function. That morning look out the window will be "otta site!" The kids are responding and involved. The animals know they are taken care of and are responding. You two really brighten up my day and I jump right to the page when I see My bell ring! Thank YOu
Another great video GSL👍👍 I enjoy your beautiful landscape and nature surrounding your little homestead. Praying mama bear and her cubs will find another safe location away from your homestead. We all know mama's are very protective of our babies. The house is shaping up nicely. Love your insights at the end of the video Melissa ❤ In my thoughts and prayers. God Bless y'all ✌❤😊
Soooo glad that you're taking the high road of not joining the unfair hype of wildlife needing to be annihilated from the landscape through no fault of said wildlife. Afterall...You all are actually the uninvited guests to their natural habitat which you pretty much recognized in this - yet another great addition to your channel. Appreciating all you share from North Idaho zone 6a...your - not - so - far - away neighbor in Laclede 💚🌻🌿
Where is human natural habitat? Virtually everywhere humans live was once open, wild space. Uninvited guest? Naw.... Earth is also our natural habitat. We don’t need an invitation any more than the bear do. It belongs to all of us. ✌️
@@wendytravis6427 Human natural habitat is learning to live cohesivly with all those natives...wild and human alike...Just like these folks are busy doing ✌
Okay, you just got me welling up with your closing comments. So beautiful and touching. It got me thinking of all the family time that has come and gone over my 72yrs. I've never lived in a brand new house that only held a future but the old ones sure had a ton of memories. Hugs to you and your family.
I love it how the little brother goes and gets his big sister to share.. and then you do what my mom did this is a grown up stuff this is for grown ups and of course I believed it but thank God they don't LOL.. and besides they put in hard word like a grown up 😄👍 .. and I was just thinking about your cat and then he pops up earlier good to see that all is well with everybody on the farm...
We even had Snow in parts of Southern Ontario. Here in Hamilton we had all day Rain Yesterday and strong Winds and cold. Tonight we suppose to have Frost.
Definitely worn them away from your property! They will get the message. You do have guns. Lots of yelling and guns firing will scare them off for sure.
After living in a National Forest for 8 years my advice is to make noise. When you see a bear, talk to it. “Go away bear.” Honestly, for the most part black bears don’t want to hang about with you. You do have some draws with the chickens and sheep but as you say, the humans are the number one priority. Have bear spray handy. There are bears that develop nuisance behavior if someone is feeding them, and that is not something you can control beyond your property. They are lots of fun to watch and take pictures of though. Just know they are drawn to even bird feeders so minimize that draw. House is looking great!
I would get some boat air horns or bellows to scare the bears away when you see them. They will get the idea soon enough. And as you said there is plenty of other space for them to roam...
I am a retired 7th generation general contractor and have been building since I was a child and I can say you guys are doing a great job just keep on keeping on and don’t say you can’t cause can’t never did anything. Sorry that lumber is so unreasonable at this time don’t cut corners and remember overkill always covers the perimeters God speed
Pocket door for the toilet closet. Then you don't have to worry about which way it swings open.
Totally agree!
@@808blackcat yes and pay for the solid core pocket door. So much more quiet.
Barn doors!!
Had the same thought
We have a pocket door on our master bathroom and I’m not a fan. Doesn’t feel very private. Just my opinion.
I'm so in awe of your progress I've been working in new construction and remodeling and working with 5 to 10 carpenter's for 45 yrs.

You might want to think about putting up blocking in the walls for pictures, television’s, drapes or blinds. So you’ll have something to screw into besides drywall.
Scott that’s great idea ...especially with the scraps of lumber they have...just perfect for this!😀
1st you had bears prowling around the property, now you've got a cougar! And what a beauty she is!
beautiful words at the end Melissa... well said.

I love how you tackle your sponsorship adverts. I can imagine how much fun you had throwing those boxes at Jeremys face. Lol. X
😂😂
"I didn't do it right, gotta do another take" 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, Melissa, how many takes of throwing the boxes did you have to do to get the shot perfect?!
😂😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆
Good job you two, with several chuckles along the way. Your children are the sweetest, well mannered and respectful little people ever, kudo's to that as well. Until next week, ya'll stay safe!
Thought for moment those two scamps were going to head off with the entire box! LOL
Love you both, soulmates are hard to come together and find each other.
You two are clearly soulmates and more. Love you both.
I pray I find mine x
Keep up the good work.

air horns work
Yes, in my country its first place in europe with 80% of bears, use air horn.

Nothing *cuter* than a pair of bear cubs. Nothing *meaner* than a pair of bear cub's mother! (meaner = more protective)

A pocket door!!! It’s exactly what I had loudly suggested!!! Obviously, they didn’t hear me from WA all the way up in Idaho😁
Walking thru a closet to get to the bathroom? Why not do the bathroom first and then into the closet.
@@chloesmom412 you come out the bathroom and get dressed
Pocket door is also my thought, Also why no windows in the bathroom. We love the natural lighting ours.

Very nice Folks! Every word, every thought, what a wisdom!! You seem to know what really counts in Life itself!! Building 'your own' dream and making memories at the same time. Did you see how much that can offer for your children?? An example for all of us! Keep up the good work please!
Surely it can’t be over already I’m not tired yet 😀
You guy’s are doing a great job on that rough in.
what a great visit! Your filming and story telling are so wonderful! I found myself both excited and wanting more!
The overhead shots really helped me see your dream and function. That morning look out the window will be "otta site!"
The kids are responding and involved. The animals know they are taken care of and are responding.
You two really brighten up my day and I jump right to the page when I see My bell ring! Thank YOu
Such beautiful words at the end. Thank you. Love your channel.
Another great video GSL👍👍 I enjoy your beautiful landscape and nature surrounding your little homestead. Praying mama bear and her cubs will find another safe location away from your homestead. We all know mama's are very protective of our babies. The house is shaping up nicely. Love your insights at the end of the video Melissa ❤ In my thoughts and prayers. God Bless y'all ✌❤😊
Soooo glad that you're taking the high road of not joining the unfair hype of wildlife needing to be annihilated from the landscape through no fault of said wildlife. Afterall...You all are actually the uninvited guests to their natural habitat which you pretty much recognized in this - yet another great addition to your channel. Appreciating all you share from North Idaho zone 6a...your - not - so - far - away neighbor in Laclede 💚🌻🌿
Where is human natural habitat? Virtually everywhere humans live was once open, wild space. Uninvited guest? Naw.... Earth is also our natural habitat. We don’t need an invitation any more than the bear do. It belongs to all of us. ✌️
@@wendytravis6427 Human natural habitat is learning to live cohesivly with all those natives...wild and human alike...Just like these folks are busy doing ✌
Happy birthday Momma🎂
You ware 50 very well. You look amazing. Great video as always. Love the progress...
I'm not 50 lol
Looking good. Mama bear and cubs just sharing the land with you. Tell everyone you have her as a security for trespassers. Lol
Okay, you just got me welling up with your closing comments. So beautiful and touching. It got me thinking of all the family time that has come and gone over my 72yrs. I've never lived in a brand new house that only held a future but the old ones sure had a ton of memories. Hugs to you and your family.
Always look forward to seeing your videos! ❤️
I love it how the little brother goes and gets his big sister to share.. and then you do what my mom did this is a grown up stuff this is for grown ups and of course I believed it but thank God they don't LOL.. and besides they put in hard word like a grown up 😄👍 .. and I was just thinking about your cat and then he pops up earlier good to see that all is well with everybody on the farm...
We even had Snow in parts of Southern Ontario. Here in Hamilton we had all day Rain Yesterday and strong Winds and cold. Tonight we suppose to have Frost.
This is the most fun build. May God bless it and it bring you much joy.
Suggestion to door issue- have bathroom door be pocket or sliding barn door.
Oh and what beautiful stories will be told in his new house!!!
You guys are doing a great job. You may want to get a large dog to protect or warn you if bears are near.
Un saluto dall'Italia!
Definitely worn them away from your property! They will get the message. You do have guns. Lots of yelling and guns firing will scare them off for sure.
Looking awesome you guys, be careful outside with momma bear and cubs. Love watching your home coming ❤
Thanks for sharing your beautiful light! It's so amazing to watch you beautiful souls! Blessings and love!
It is so satisfying to a person with OCD to see you using the scraps up as much as possible!
After living in a National Forest for 8 years my advice is to make noise. When you see a bear, talk to it. “Go away bear.” Honestly, for the most part black bears don’t want to hang about with you. You do have some draws with the chickens and sheep but as you say, the humans are the number one priority. Have bear spray handy. There are bears that develop nuisance behavior if someone is feeding them, and that is not something you can control beyond your property. They are lots of fun to watch and take pictures of though. Just know they are drawn to even bird feeders so minimize that draw. House is looking great!
Luvd the ending.. An the breakfast smack down.. Lol
Thanks for sharing an makin my day just a bit brighter 👍
I'm looking at the corner where the bedroom wall meets the outside wall. Needs a stud for sheet rock. 🙃
You're getting there!!👍
I would get some boat air horns or bellows to scare the bears away when you see them. They will get the idea soon enough. And as you said there is plenty of other space for them to roam...
You need to be respectful those bears were there before they were they moved in on the Bears territory
I am a retired 7th generation general contractor and have been building since I was a child and I can say you guys are doing a great job just keep on keeping on and don’t say you can’t cause can’t never did anything. Sorry that lumber is so unreasonable at this time don’t cut corners and remember overkill always covers the perimeters God speed
Love your kiddos, the house is coming along.
It's the most beautiful location that I have ever seen!
