Naveah has to be so excited. She really should be up there helping with the final touches on her place. lol These are all things she needs to know how to do. It's such a beautiful place.
Having been a major appliance salesman for Sears back in the late 1980s, I can tell you the reason that ranges, dishwashers, and dryers are sold without cords is pretty simple. There are actually different types of 220 volt plugs (3 or 4 prong) depending on the receptacle that is present. Also sometimes the appliances are hardwired for power instead of plugged.
From what I understand, there some manufacturers are moving toward providing power cords as optional accessories, allowing users to choose the appropriate one for their specific electrical setup.
Which means they will charge you for both cords when you only need one and the rest will end up in the landfill. They aren’t free, they’ll just up the appliance price.
In my country it has to be installed by professional, its says it on the appliances because the voltage needed for the oven is able to kill you if done wrong
The richest person in the world is the person who has enough. I love that! Thank you for sharing that. I believe I will share it also. Love your videos and wisdom. PS I had a water dog. When he was a puppy he did not love the water either. But as he grew up he loved it so much and all we had to say is “Jake, wanna go to the river?!” And he jumped through the window of our ‘river’ car and off we went for hours of fun. Just give him time.
I was told, because in many cases homes/apartments do sometimes have differing plugs, most appliances, at purchase, require the purchase of a cord and plug. So, it makes life easier to match your cord and plug to what is present. Who knew?
All Grace, Praise and Glory go to God! For even in burdens and hardships, are the blessing within. GOD IS GOOD! JESUS SAVES! HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH YOU ALWAYS! May God bless you and your family to keep you safe and well.
@@GoodSimpleLivingYes, He is , the question is ... are we ??? You do a good job trying to live the life He calls us to. With so many temptations and a world of evil intent surrounding us, it us behoven of us to constantly seek, find, & follow His will. In the Lords Prayer where we pray ..." Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven ...." it assures us this is possible, by His grace and the oower presence of the HOLY SPIRIT in our lives, so to aim for it and to make it happen daily is an achievable exercise . This is contentment. To know all things ars possible thru Him who strengthens me". Doing His Will by making it our own, removes the struggle . It's a pleasure to watch a family in another country, on another continent, but in the same world, loving and serving the sane Almighty God, and lyving the same life of example to the best generation abdbin NY case , the next generation again ie: my grand kids. Be blessed Jeremy& Melissa and your family of 4 as you serve Him and love one another, from this Aussie Nan 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏🇺🇸✝️
My wife and I both give you thanks for today's video. We both needed it too! We love you guys because you all are a normal family with family values! We appreciate you all so much! I love that Jeremy is former law enforcement, so am I. We love the humor you folks display and the love that you share for each other and your kids and others! Thanks again for such an entertaining and ordinary parts of your almost completed apartment build over your wonderful garage! God bless you all! Much Love from the Tyler family!
There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe your beautiful family. I have been with you since the beginning of building your home. I enjoy your videos, so fresh to see a loving and caring family you make my heart sing. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
In the early to mid 60's as a child, I, and the neighbourhood kids would gorge ourselves on wild Huckleberries all day long in the forests surrounding us. This was in lower mainland British Columbia, and now, houses, stores and busy roads have left those berries as only a memory. May God bless the little, simple things and make the annoyances in life fritter away in the wind. I feel rich beyond measure after watching this video, as I always feel after watching, and am so thankful for this channel, filling hearts around the world with gratitude.
Love your family videos with a beautiful family. Jeremy reminds me so much of my late husband with his teasing and double entendre meanings. I lost Stephen 7 months ago after 54 years of being together nearly 50 years married. I miss him so THANK YOU for being a light to help brighten my day, yes Jeremy you are Melissa's Huckle Berry love Avril from Victoria Australia
Looking at those mountains every day is dream material. Having 4 beautiful and helpful children is a true blessing. Having land enough to build such a wonderful home and run horses, have a barn and productive vegetable garden and orchard .... wow is amazing. The love in this family, the life in Christ leading the way, yep you've got the dream life and so much thankfulness in bucketloads. The odd bump along the way is not I surmountable and contributes to learning and growth. My favourite family to watch every week.
All puppies hate the water! I've had three Labs and one Golden and they really didn't like the water until they were 6-8 months old. Give him some time, and before you know it you'll be coming home and finding him lounging in the hot tub! 🤣🤣🤣
Videos about your normal family “stuff” absolutely delight me. We all have things that go wrong or not as planned. And you’re right - it’s easy to dwell on that and allow it to bring you down. But it’s important to remember that when you live through the things going wrong, it makes you incredibly grateful when things go right. I think one of my most important lessons is to be adaptable and not so rigid. I’m reminded of that saying “If you want to give God a good laugh, make a plan……”. It’s all His way and in His timing, not ours.
I saw a video of a guy saying something so true and have to share! “If you practice something, you get better at it. So if you practice saying negative things about yourself or others, you’ll get better at it.” I choose to practice kindness and gratitude so I can get better at that. Same goes for resentments or empathy. When people let me down, instead of being resentful, I pray for them and have empathy for them. When we have an attitude of gratitude, there’s no room for the negativity in our hearts. You and your family are always such a beautiful example of how we should live and treat each other and handle life’s little ups and downs. For that, I’m thankful for you and it’s always a joy to see a new video from you pop up! ❤I love you all and I hope you have a beautiful and blessed weekend! ❤
Yes the are a beautiful family 👪 the are so happy every thing the do is fun for them. they find Time to go out to the mountains and have some fun. may God bless you and your family. your friend Mary.
I love watching all the progress you make on all of your builds. But I love when the whole family goes out and enjoys each other's company. Love to you all!❤
You don't know how much this old lady looks forward to your videos every Saturday and your podcast on Wednesdays. Lovely family and always love the words of wisdom at the end.
Learning, teaching, having fun in your adventure. Making dreams come true. UA-cam has made it all possible with your talents and hard work. Amazing the opportunity simple videos have provided.
I love how the doors turned out. The place is fantastic. Compare the place your oldest daughter is getting with the unlucky people paying major money to live in cubby-holes in New York City and San Francisco. You've built a wonderful homespread.
Contentment- Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. Phil 8:11-12 ESV
Power cords aren't included on dryers and stoves because there are various standards in what is in a structure. Still a lot of 3 prong outlets around while 4 prong has become the code. For dishwashers, most are hard wired so a cord would be a waste.
Once again, y'all made me giggle! The dog has blended himself in very well. What a chill pup... At least that's what you've portrayed him to be. He's a Cutie! 💜💙🧡💓
Beautiful family and land to enjoy time together creating family memories!❤ I never get tired watching you and your family! Thank you for sharing your family story!❤
The thing I love about this channel is how real this family is! I hate that the huckleberrys got gone! Hope you and your family have a wonderful week 😊
One thing to remember is where the shower rod will be mounted later. That will require a little extra backing. What I did in my rental properties was use silver stainless steel piping with threaded gusset plates on the ends. The rod is mounted solidly into the wall and makes for a sturdy shower rod. There is no possibility of it falling down (think of the crappy rods that use tension pressure to stay in place). There are no thin metal rods here. Your place will be used by teenagers and young adults. They will put things to the test for durability. I do the same thing for towel rods. They are easy to make. Just make an elongated U shape with the gusset plates on the ends. I make them the length between two stud bays. This allows the gussets to be screwed into the studs. It will never get yanked down and also doubles as a place to grab when navigating wet bathroom floors.
omgosh!!! the new build is looking so beautiful!! what an addition to a heartwarming homestead. i have been so excited about the life you guys have been building in Idaho
I love the last sentiment of this video and to be honestly, I figured out a while back that having enough is not always an easy thing to understand. But it is also very true, which only makes it sadder that so many do not grasp the truth of it. Having enough is not about having more, it is about having enough to fill your life and not more. It's not about stuff, gear or money at all, but money at least helps you get there. The trick is to find what that enough means for you as in the movement you do, you realize that you truly don't need more that enough. Which means there is no point of hungering for more at all once you get to the point of learning what is enough. For most, having enough is actually far less than many thing because of how out world works. And I am affected by that too, sure there are things I would like, but what did I really need and it was when I realized that, that I figured out what my enough was and my whole life changed as a result. Would like more, sure, but I don't need it, could I do more, yes, and that would be fun, but I don't need it. It quickly became clear that with out certain things so far out of my reach that it would take a miracle to get there many times over, and beyond that I don't need all that much. All the other stuff is what I would like, and not something I must or need and that's when I found my Enough and it made me much happier.
When I as a kid growing up in NC I would pick huckleberries in my backyard. Wish y’all would have got to pick some maybe next year. Thanks for sharing it’s a beautiful place.
What a bummer that that handles didn't work out. Thanks for being a everyday family that isn't perfect. So thanks for being you and for sharing ❤️ ❤❤ catch you all next week ❤
You guys are amazing. It's so awesome to see your family, the build, the animals and the view!!! And as always, the sentiments at the end. It is a peaceful part of my week. I just don't think you realize how God has used you in people's lives. Thank you. Love you all.
I currently have an injured knee. I can spend time thinking about how I can’t do as much and be bummed about it, or I can just do my best with it and think about how I am still richly blessed according to God’s riches and goodness.
I can answer you cord quandary. Dryer cords also don’t come with it and it is because sometimes mobile homes use different cord configurations. So you have to match the cord with the plug. Same thing on a stove or dishwasher.
The people who have tried have never been able to get them to grow in the lower elevations! I grew up in that area and people have been trying for years but to no avail.
Is the recall about the ice maker they cannot or will not fix, if so it goes back to 2015. I’ve been trying to get mine fixed since the end of 2015 and it’s still not fixed, ended up unhooking water line to it.
Such good memories high lake hiking in the mountains above Bonners Ferry years ago. And, yes, so important to carry bear-bells, ( marbles in a can) to shake to let grizzlies ahead down the the trail that we are approaching. Never a good thing to surprise a grizz. God bless you all and thanks for sharing your Ida-home living. 🙏 ❤
There are several different commections available for 240v (dryer/stove conmections) but they need to match usually what is in the building so they can easily be changed out.
I remember picking wild blueberries with my mom and picking blackberries and muscadines too. All wild. We are as much as I picked. Fond memories. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video and love the look of Gabby! Sorry all the huckleberries are gone but looked like a great time was held at the lake! Was hilarious watching the pup enjoy the beans! We had a dog years ago that loved corn as we shucked it! Have a great week!
Oh my goodness, you two had a Lot of Lemons this weekend ! But I must say that trip up in the Mts. 😮Wow how Beautiful, that water looked So inviting.. Looks like you all had a Great Day ! Thanks For Sharing With Us 🙏 Looking forward to next week’s video 🙏 And remember to be careful and stay safe. 👍❤️🙏✝️ ☺️
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I have learnt so much from your channel, i.e DIY, gardening, house builds, animals, and the list could go on. God continue to Bless your family.❤
I ❤ how you used the dark color to go around the top of the walls floor & sides to accent. Also remember….. Mother Nature is not always perfect but to us She is. Love watching you create you own little piece of heaven 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Thanks for today's video, always a pleasure to watch. Advice for your rubbing door, apply wax so it slides easier and protects the wood from the scraping. I used that trick on my dresser drawers so they slide easier.
For the shroud, I suggest you ask around and see if any siding company can bend you something to the size you need. I think most will be bale to do that. As long as your color choice isn't too far out there, they can bend something pretty quick too.
Cool toddler proof freezer drawer 👍 You guys have the best B-Roll, mountains, wildflowers, farm animals, horses, puppy, beautiful kids, broad sky and forest. Melissa you deserve an award for cinematography ! Neaveh is a blessed girl. Congratulations on your 18th Birthday and your new home 💕 God Bless the Souza family. 🌸🌼🌻
Such a beautiful vlog. My favourite half hour of the week is watching this. We used to own a small holding, but now our kids have grown and fledged the nest, so we have downsized, as we were unable to managed by ourselves. I still have our chucks and our four boys all live within an hour of us, so as I hit sixty, despite awaiting surgery on my neck for arthritic changes, I nod in agreement at your statement and I smile as I definitely have enough. Sending love and prayers from Sheffield 🇬🇧 Jenx
Perseverance is key Jeremy and Melissa... You two always figure things out and they always look Amazing 🤩 What a Beautiful Playground you have in your backyard... Although the Huckleberry gathering was a Bust, what Beautiful, Stunning surroundings that you found. And that lake looks incredible... Making Memories with the Souza Family and of course Luda who doesn't like the water, yet.... Blessings and Love to you All 🙏❤️🙏
We have the same problem here with black raspberries, we took a section of our backyard fenced it in and made a small berry patch because all the wild spots are either picked or destroyed for development
There are a bunch of different outlets and most of the time the outlet is already there (all the time unless there was a problem or the house is being built) from when the house was built so you buy the cord and plug that matches the outlet vs changing the outlet.
I am NEVER disappointed when I watch your videos! It makes me happy to see a beautiful family who just loves each other and life! And that included the newest member of the family 😊And being in AZ in the heat of the summer it actually helps me cool off watching a lake video from northern ID! I will need to visit CDA, ID soon! Thanks for sharing!
Love this video, so real and such word of wisdom and hope especially in these times and in my time of life. I am 73 and some days it's hard to dispel those joy killers. Thank you Melissa and Souza family ❤
I lost my Yorkie three weeks ago. He was my only companion. Because of my health I will not be able to get another dog. Don't know how you got over the grief. Good for all of you that you got another. When they are so loved, it is a huge hurt. NY daughter is in another state and is also struggling . Love your family and love how you live and love so hard.
A beautiful life and a beautiful family. With the many once again wildfires out of control, do all homeowners have their own evacuation plan? Has to be in the minds of all this time of year. Be safe live well and thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Thank you for such a wonderful message. Its such an easy thing to get disheartened by all the little things that don't go right. What a great reminder to count our blessings. Your pup still may be a water dog yet, he is still so young and entering the fearful stage, where things can seem very scary. Keep getting him out there and gently introducing him to things, he will figure it out!!
I were thinking of you guys today all the way from Denmark. Of all the tv shows on Netflix, HBO, etc that I follow, you guys are the one I am most excited about and wait for every week!
For the stove hood you can get a metal worker to bend and cut a piece of black metal to cover the full width and height of the stove cover and exhaust pipe.
I just love Ludo, he is such a cute pup. Give him time, he'll love the water as he grows up. Question... What are you doing with the bathroom wall in Naveah's apartment... tile? Great video this week Melissa.
the hardware stores have a flat dryer vent option that sits tight against the wall. might be able to use that to fix the issue with the exhaust fan. they are adjustable in length by pulling out or if need be cutting off extra material so they can go closer together.
Naveah has to be so excited. She really should be up there helping with the final touches on her place. lol These are all things she needs to know how to do. It's such a beautiful place.
I am hoping this happens when we aren’t watching.

I just love all the giggles in the background at the lake. That’s what makes it all worth it. Thank you for bringing us along
Glad you enjoyed it
"An hour back into town."? The former LEO in me says "DONUT RUN"! 4.5 year fans here!

When I as a kid growing up in NC I would pick huckleberries in my backyard.
Wish y’all would have got to pick some maybe next year. Thanks for sharing it’s a beautiful place.
Suggestion for vent cover: Build a box around the vent and attach the same tiling from the focus wall.
A wooden plank hood vent would be really nice! Like those doors. Good job! Like your closing remarks.
Those doors are very thick, they will make very good 'fire-doors', not a bad thing.
Love to you all from Mike. ❤
I lived in Idaho for 4 months long time ago but it was one of the most memorable places I have been to . Loved it a lot. Great family place.
you guys make a great family.very impressed with the love between all members
For the pantry door, what about countersinking the two roller supports to the thickness of the metal. That would probably get you a 1/4 to 3/8" space.
One of the cutest couples lol. And of course it couldn't be to easy as going to a hardware store and finding longer screws for the door knobs ❤
I had a labrador mix, and we bought him a plastic pool and he would go crazy in it. Your hike was beautiful❤
What a bummer that that handles didn't work out. Thanks for being a everyday family that isn't perfect. So thanks for being you and for sharing ❤️ ❤❤ catch you all next week ❤
The puppy is fitting right in with the family. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you have great design styles. 😊
Great Video, the apt is coming along so nicely. Ludo and the kids are growing so much this summer!
You're really amazing family!! Even when things go wrong you're still wonderful to each other!! Still appreciate your videos!!😊
You guys are amazing. It's so awesome to see your family, the build, the animals and the view!!! And as always, the sentiments at the end. It is a peaceful part of my week. I just don't think you realize how God has used you in people's lives. Thank you. Love you all.

I currently have an injured knee. I can spend time thinking about how I can’t do as much and be bummed about it, or I can just do my best with it and think about how I am still richly blessed according to God’s riches and goodness.
I can answer you cord quandary. Dryer cords also don’t come with it and it is because sometimes mobile homes use different cord configurations. So you have to match the cord with the plug. Same thing on a stove or dishwasher.
You should order some huckleberries to plant on your property.
Not as much fun picking them at home.
The people who have tried have never been able to get them to grow in the lower elevations! I grew up in that area and people have been trying for years but to no avail.
@@karenbradshaw4479 true, but they’d be there. Make the trip to the lake, a trip to the lake. And if the berries are there, bonus.
@@suemckee1598 there are varieties that will grow lower down. There are some that grow in the eastern US.
@@armyrabb1Those are called blueberries. Huckleberries are dark purple.
Two steps forward and one step back…it happens, but you two adapt well. Thanks for another great vlog and lord willing you have a blessed weekend! 🤗
That puppy is really starting to look like a golden now! Don't worry about the water. One day you won't be able to keep him out of it!
Is the Samsung frigerator on the models subject to recall.?😮. Theirs a pending class action lawsuit over their refrigerators starting in 2019 to 2024.
Is the recall about the ice maker they cannot or will not fix, if so it goes back to 2015. I’ve been trying to get mine fixed since the end of 2015 and it’s still not fixed, ended up unhooking water line to it.
That’s a phenomenal title of a video.
Such good memories high lake hiking in the mountains above Bonners Ferry years ago.
And, yes, so important to carry bear-bells, ( marbles in a can) to shake to let grizzlies ahead down the the trail that we are approaching. Never a good thing to surprise a grizz.
God bless you all and thanks for sharing your Ida-home living. 🙏 ❤
There are several different commections available for 240v (dryer/stove conmections) but they need to match usually what is in the building so they can easily be changed out.
Y’all are too funny 😁 I love these videos n look forward to Saturday mornings 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁😁🥰
Just love watching you all makes my heart happy 😊
I remember picking wild blueberries with my mom and picking blackberries and muscadines too. All wild. We are as much as I picked. Fond memories. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video and love the look of Gabby! Sorry all the huckleberries are gone but looked like a great time was held at the lake! Was hilarious watching the pup enjoy the beans! We had a dog years ago that loved corn as we shucked it! Have a great week!
Oh my goodness, you two had a Lot of Lemons this weekend ! But I must say that trip up in the Mts. 😮Wow how Beautiful, that water looked So inviting.. Looks like you all had a Great Day ! Thanks For Sharing With Us 🙏 Looking forward to next week’s video 🙏 And remember to be careful and stay safe. 👍❤️🙏✝️ ☺️
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I have learnt so much from your channel, i.e DIY, gardening, house builds, animals, and the list could go on. God continue to Bless your family.❤
So nice of you
I ❤ how you used the dark color to go around the top of the walls floor & sides to accent.
Also remember…..
Mother Nature is not always perfect but to us She is.
Love watching you create you own little piece of heaven 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
The quality of your home and addition is excellent! You guys have great taste and vision.
Thanks for today's video, always a pleasure to watch. Advice for your rubbing door, apply wax so it slides easier and protects the wood from the scraping. I used that trick on my dresser drawers so they slide easier.
For the shroud, I suggest you ask around and see if any siding company can bend you something to the size you need. I think most will be bale to do that. As long as your color choice isn't too far out there, they can bend something pretty quick too.
This was an awesome video. Your place is so nice and the northwest (particularly Idaho) is so beautiful and scenic! Thanks for taking us along!👍❤️
Consider doing your stove pipe offset above the ceiling. Replace the two boards with the current hole.
Cool toddler proof freezer drawer 👍 You guys have the best B-Roll, mountains, wildflowers, farm animals, horses, puppy, beautiful kids, broad sky and forest. Melissa you deserve an award for cinematography ! Neaveh is a blessed girl. Congratulations on your 18th Birthday and your new home 💕 God Bless the Souza family. 🌸🌼🌻
Thanks so much
Beautiful in so many ways...congrats on being (nearly) done!
Such a beautiful vlog. My favourite half hour of the week is watching this. We used to own a small holding, but now our kids have grown and fledged the nest, so we have downsized, as we were unable to managed by ourselves. I still have our chucks and our four boys all live within an hour of us, so as I hit sixty, despite awaiting surgery on my neck for arthritic changes, I nod in agreement at your statement and I smile as I definitely have enough. Sending love and prayers from Sheffield 🇬🇧 Jenx

Perseverance is key Jeremy and Melissa... You two always figure things out and they always look Amazing 🤩 What a Beautiful Playground you have in your backyard... Although the Huckleberry gathering was a Bust, what Beautiful, Stunning surroundings that you found. And that lake looks incredible... Making Memories with the Souza Family and of course Luda who doesn't like the water, yet.... Blessings and Love to you All 🙏❤️🙏
Its a very beautiful area you live in thank you so much for sharing
We have the same problem here with black raspberries, we took a section of our backyard fenced it in and made a small berry patch because all the wild spots are either picked or destroyed for development
There are a bunch of different outlets and most of the time the outlet is already there (all the time unless there was a problem or the house is being built) from when the house was built so you buy the cord and plug that matches the outlet vs changing the outlet.
I am NEVER disappointed when I watch your videos! It makes me happy to see a beautiful family who just loves each other and life! And that included the newest member of the family 😊And being in AZ in the heat of the summer it actually helps me cool off watching a lake video from northern ID! I will need to visit CDA, ID soon! Thanks for sharing!
You are so kind
Love this video, so real and such word of wisdom and hope especially in these times and in my time of life. I am 73 and some days it's hard to dispel those joy killers. Thank you Melissa and Souza family ❤
I lost my Yorkie three weeks ago. He was my only companion. Because of my health I will not be able to get another dog. Don't know how you got over the grief. Good for all of you that you got another. When they are so loved, it is a huge hurt. NY daughter is in another state and is also struggling . Love your family and love how you live and love so hard.
A beautiful life and a beautiful family. With the many once again wildfires out of control, do all homeowners have their own evacuation plan? Has to be in the minds of all this time of year. Be safe live well and thanks for sharing your lives with us.
your living the dream bless all of you.
Thank you for such a wonderful message. Its such an easy thing to get disheartened by all the little things that don't go right. What a great reminder to count our blessings. Your pup still may be a water dog yet, he is still so young and entering the fearful stage, where things can seem very scary. Keep getting him out there and gently introducing him to things, he will figure it out!!
I were thinking of you guys today all the way from Denmark. Of all the tv shows on Netflix, HBO, etc that I follow, you guys are the one I am most excited about and wait for every week!
Thank you 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The apartment looks fantastic just like your dream home! I so admire that you guys did it all yourselves 🤙🎉!!
For the stove hood you can get a metal worker to bend and cut a piece of black metal to cover the full width and height of the stove cover and exhaust pipe.
I just love Ludo, he is such a cute pup. Give him time, he'll love the water as he grows up. Question... What are you doing with the bathroom wall in Naveah's apartment... tile? Great video this week Melissa.
Progress may be slow, but it's still progress! As always, thanks for taking us along.
We picked a quart a couple weeks ago. They were really struggling to produce it looked like, just not enough rain.
I am envious of your communication with one another, your love, your relationship etc. please make a video teaching us to be more like you two.
the hardware stores have a flat dryer vent option that sits tight against the wall. might be able to use that to fix the issue with the exhaust fan. they are adjustable in length by pulling out or if need be cutting off extra material so they can go closer together.
