Those Baby Doll Sheep have stolen my heart.
Whoever edits the footage does an excellent job. There is a nice combination of family, work, and animal footage. I enjoy that one of you states what you are going to do, and then do it. What I enjoy the most is how you end your videos. There is no fanfare, but very comforting scenes. What a joy to watch you both and your family progressing toward your goals. 5 Stars.
Thank you, thats a huge compliment!
Also loved the ending song. Very fitting for these two!
Absolutely and I love all the music choices !
I miss the happy dance though. I guess I like the fanfare 🎇🎈
Yes and I love the music choices. I wish they were noted.
When Eli came out to kiss Melissa's face I melted! My "baby" is 14 and he squishes my face every single day!
I also really appreciate the acknowledgement of demotivation. It's a lot of work and though you're both capable, you're both human too! I love everything you guys are building so far, and I love the fuzzy fur babies too!
A good shepherd knows her herd by name. And that you do. Your fur babies are adorable.
Love your 🐑 sheep 🐑. So hoping one is expecting ♥️😍
@@jeannekeith3506 me too!!!
You two are a hoot!! Thank you for sharing your lives with everyone. The content here is so entertaining. Just full of humor, charisma and hard work. What a joy to watch.☮👩🌾👨🏼🌾🏡
I was shocked when that boy carried you and ran! Tell him he has a fan. ❤️
I don’t think that was the baby
You can buy cross braces that are made out of cable with a turnbuckle in the middle to tighten them up, and throughout the years of use you can keep adjusting them! Or you can do it the old-fashioned way, a loop of wire that goes diagonally to corner to corner with a stick in the middle to tighten it up with! More or less making x! Y'all stay safe my friends!
I was thinking the same thing!!
Big respect for working out in the cold, I have been living in Idaho for 26 years and know a lot what that's about!!
Might be the time to invest in a small portable lumber mill. It will also come in useful when building the Big House.
This family is so full of love even your animals are in tune with the closeness . My heart is so full when i see your baby boy loving up on you.
All gates should have a diagonal brace installed to prevent eventual sagging. From bottom at hinged side to top of outside corner.
Jeremy said the same thing in the video. They used lumber they had on hand to keep from buying more high priced lumber.
With my design that works pretty good for clothesline wires to keep them tight. They make a heavy wire 4 stabilizing Corner posts and gate posts for barbed wire fence. You cut the pieces to length straighten them out and thread one end and secure the other end whichever way works best for you. At the top corner, hinge side you put a small turnbuckle. The turnbuckles usually have quite a few threads so you want to make sure you have enough thread on your wire and grease them well. When the gate starts to Sag couple cranks on the turnbuckle your Square again. Depending on the style of turnbuckle, most have eye bolts and just Loop the wire through it.
I'd also suggest additional hinges on the drive thru Gates on the middle cross member
Oh my, you both looked perished to the bone. How long till you thawed out?
I hope the gates are a success you both worked so hard on them. Pity you couldn't get hold of a load of manure to put on the garden so as the frost openscthe ground the muck falls into the cracks.
Stick at it guys you're getting closer to the end goal with each passing day. 👌🧡💛💚👍
ideally yes. This can be added with a cable brace later if required.
Love how your dog is always in the background looking like he’s down to business protecting the homestead 😁
Comments on your episodes. Your photography is consistently excellent. The introductory nature shots make a very nice introduction and set the mood and tone to come. The shots are always crisp and clear. 👍 Your use of music is well done, interesting, appropriate and entertaining. 👍
Your interactions and story line are always fun and engaging, keeping people coming back for more. I think you make your audience feel like welcome guests or even part of your family. 👍 Thanks for the time and work you put into videoing and editing your work. Overall you deserve an A plus. 😀
Wow thank you. That means more to us than you know!
YES!!
Liked the sheep segment. They looked cozy in their shelter!
So glad your little one felt the love of your audience. Childhood is (should be?) a wonderful, naive experience. An opportunity to build the groundwork. You guys are doing a great job of it. IMHO. Really good parents.
I love baby doll sheep! There adorable! They have cute little faces!
I'm so glad Eli had a terrific birthday!
Steel cable and a turnbuckle for the diagonal brace. Cheaper than lumber.
I have seen that.
Good idea!!! Actually great idea! I have seen that before on a wall structure, but I never thought about it on a door!
My heart really went out to you guys. The time and effort those doors took is just AMAZING when it is taken into consideration within the scope of your overall goals. Your tenacity is impressive. I pray your love continue to grow exponentially as you invest in each other (and your children) in the building of your homestead.
Seeing you guys working out in that very cold air brought back memories. As a young man I worked as an electrician’s helper on Cape Cod. One very cold Winter day I had to connect up the power drop to a house (yes, in those days the electrician would hook up the utility power while it was live). Still remember how my hands felt trying to make up the connections. Kept dropping things because I couldn’t feel anything. And that, my friend, is why I live in Georgia.
im soooo jealous with this couple...i just love the kind of living they chose for their family! how i love to have a husband like him and live peacefully in the countryside! love you guys!🧡💚💙💛❤️
The 'man door' will defiantly sag. You need a brace from the bottom hinge to the opposite top corner. Thanks for the inspiration on alternative ways to grow a family.
I cannot wait to see the garden growing this spring may God bless the work of your hands oh and keep them warm
I’m reading the comments I need to know more about fencing. Oh your sheep are so cute.
Always love your choice of music. The gates look great and I love the panel fencing. It all gives a great look and certainly functional. I feel like your dog fits in well with your sheep lol all very cute! Have a great night, God bless.
Loved watching both of you. Puts me in mind of myself and my husband of 37 years.
That youngest one of yours is so precious.
I'm addicted to your videos ... LOL
It is a pleasure to see a family building the future, with love and pleasure for what they do. I became a FAN.
A Big Hug here from Portugal
I loved the interaction w sheep. Loving, caring people, awesome. The cat, the dog, your family is just awesome. Even the meat rabbits are loved and cared for before being processed. I see so many other people treat their, key word, their, animals like they are nothing. One man pets his cats by petting, knocking, them on the head...who does that? Cats love to be loved on, not smacked on the head! I'm in Hickory NC, rain, no snow. Love you guys!
If you ever notice you need some cross bracing you can you a metal cable going from corner to corner.
Hi guys love your channel you have helped me to keep sane during lock down in England keep up the good work and stay safe .
Probably should add a diagonal to the larger gates or they will sag over time use small diameter cable and a turnbuckle the hardware would be cheaper than current lumber prices
Seeing this be built I am so excited for you both! What a wonderful space you're creating. Keep up all the hard work 💪 😎
Thank you guys so much, we have missed having a garden so much this year! You guys are rocking out there in Alaska, keep up the good work ❤ We are jealous of that moose!!
My two favorite you tubers! ❤️ Hello from Snohomish WA 😊
Yeah, what they said🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Guys! I LOVE YOU GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
@@GoodSimpleLiving Start thinking about a high tunnel/greenhouse to extend your growing season. Might even be able to get it free through a university like Daniel Arms did. He can give you all the details on that. He's done videos about it.
Given the timber you have on your property, you should look into a portable mill. It would pay for itself in providing lumber for the house build. Also, get a dado blade for your Dewalt and cut those notches in seconds.
I was wondering why they weren't using a router at least, but maybe they don't need one yet? Won't they need one eventually?
@@SilverGoth They have a router. Not sure why they didn't use it.
I gave you a thumbs up just for the effect of getting out there on such a cold day, and staying with it.
Lol I love the struggle days. Currently struggling getting my groove back. Love this channel guys. Keep it up.
I can speak on "lack of motivation"! First & foremost, neither of YOU suffer from this! Quite the contrary,... you are both super-duper overachievers! I've had 6 surgeries since December 1st of 2017, and each time I was allowed to come home, I was told to "take it easy for the next 6 or more weeks!". This drove me NUTS!! (And very few people understand what it means to a normally 'super active' person, to be told to 'take it easy' for 6 or more weeks!) 👍👍
I applaud y'all's work ethic and your commitment to getting things done according to your BIG, overall timeline!
You inspire me each video to get 'something' accomplished!! 👍 I can't thank you enough!! 👌👍👍
That came out awesome,I can just imagine all the different plants growing in that very very large garden🤗
I would not be motivated to do that kind of work outside when it's cold like that. Congrats on sticking with it and getting it done!
Cull carts or Cull loads at Home Depot and Lowes.....place hot hands directly on inside of Wrist. Hold them with cloth or sweat bands, to work outside. Keeps blood flow through hands Warmer.
I am watching you from my warm house and I’m shivering. Go figure. I admire your drive👍
I remember the Fredrick & Nelson’s chocolate counter. They invented and sold the Frango and when they closed they sold the brand to Macy’s. I’m so old.
I remember standing at the counter in what must have been Macy's in downtown Chicago buying them and it was like you were getting gold !
@@dianajean4837 What seems like long ago, it was Marshall Fields. Frango’s chocolate mints - still love them.
I can't wait to get back to the garden! I need to be working in good dirt! Love watching you two work together. Blessings!
They make a good team
What you get done today, is something less you'll have to do tomorrow!🙂 keep the good work God bless amen.
Jeremy, I have used the cable bracing on my gates for the last 20yrs & no sagging issues!! Saving on high price lumber makes good sense when you are getting ready to build your forever home! You're definitely brave souls working out there in the 🥶 cold 🥶 !!! Glad to see that you had the fire 🔥 going so quickly! Stay warm & God Bless you and your family!
Amazing gates. I feel for u two freezing outside in the cold. Ranching, & working on a homestead is 24 hour work & kids schooling too. Pat urself on the back ur doing awesome.
The scenery is so beautiful! Dream Goals for sure!
HELLO ...... YOU ARE GREAT WELLS .... SUCH BEAUTY AROUND ..... NOT EVERYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO GO FAR FROM THE CITY AND LIVE IN NATURE. I AM VERY Proud of YOU .. ALL MY KNOWLEDGE YOU TOLD YOU ASK YOU BEAUTY OF NATURE AND POWER OF WILL ...... GOOD LUCK TO YOU HAPPINESS AND PATIENCE ...
steel cable, braces and turnbuckle- $12 or so at Home Depot. Fix that cross brace issue without wood costs
Wow, beautiful intro! Glad to see that your family is doing so well in adjusting to the new environment 💞
Love your sheep! And the way they interact with you! That bowl you made for you and Jeremy for lunch looked really good. Share some recipes? I am 76 now and the cold really gets to me. It was28 in northern Ohio this morning. The heat doesn't bother me as much the older I get.
Hello lovely couple, i love wacthing you all together working, and dreaming about snow, all the way frm 🇵🇭
Kabayan snow storm hits some parts of US by chance visit to experience snow
You two are sooooo funny! that garden is going to be amazing! cheers from Argentina. Fede
I always have to come watch what's new in Idaho with my friends. You two are my pick-me-up and I needed this today. The garden and orchard enclosure is awesome. Feel like it needs a name. The sheep are just so adorable. Stay warm. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤
Aww thank you!! So hoping for tiny lambs soon!
Sometime it's just to cold to snow. I remember the first time i heard that years ago while living in the Sawtooth mountains of southern Idaho. I love everything about Idaho except for the short growing season.
Merci à vous pour votre belle énergie et votre petite famille adorable. J'habite en France et je vous ai découvert il n'y a pas longtemps. Vous m'apportez beaucoup de courage. Dieu vous bénisse.
The sheep 🐑 are so beautiful. I love everything about this video. 💗
So good to watch. We leave our home in western Washington on Friday for keeps to begin a new life on our homestead in central Washington. People my wife works with have asked what she will do with all the free time... What will we do? Stuff like this.
We’re cops and DETAIL oriented perfectionists. We have that drilled into us in the academy. Of course Jeremy has to get the gates perfect and aesthetically pleasing. 😂🤣 Nice work!
Ol Jeremy's turning into quite the carpenter, a man of many talents.
Farmstead's looking cool as fk. Great job guy's.
This might help to keep you guys warm. I worked pipeline construction with my husband and one job was in Colorado 9,000 ft elevation in October. I found a line of Carharts for freezing temperatures-sorry I don't remember the degree levels-but they were the "black Carharts" for your type of winters. They saved me! Hope that helps. Love watching and learning from you guys. Blessings!
The kisses again 🥰 melts my heart! Slowly but surely your garden is coming together... can’t wait to see it grow 😉
The moment you called your sheep over, I thought one looked extra tubby. They are so adorable. I found you from your back to eden garden videos. Labour of love out in the cold working on your garden. Keep it up you two!
The little turds and oh I’ll do some mounting comments are hilarious. You two are a hoot and you kids are so good even the furry babies. Thanks for sharing. I started following when you had 175k and now almost 200k! Wow! Keep putting out entertaining videos. I stopped watching tv and just watch you tube
When you were warming your hands up by the fire I had flashbacks of doing the same. As I recall, I went from frozen hands into a small pain episode with tingling fingers then I was alright!! No pain no gain!!
And everything is coming together... congratulations on the progress and thanks for sharing your lives with us...Best wishes as the new year unfolds!
Might I suggest a Kreg pocket hole jig. You won’t regret it. That gate would have been framed in 5 minutes and would be extremely Sturdy. Keep up the great content 👍🏼
I love watching your videos while I'm nice and warm in my cosy house feeling your pain while you are freezing cold eating snacks and enjoying yourselfs building gates and playing with you fluffy sheet wonderful keep going it's nearly spring 😍🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Your brown towel is so full of love he loves kisses and the sheep love being affectionate with Melissa.
Cool video. I’ll keep watching makes me think of the “Farmhouse” build on Perkins Builder Brothers channel.
Put in an Outdoor wood furnace. Run one line to the pole barn and then a second line to the house, later. You will love it. We heat our home, water and garage with one. We're in northern MI. I have only seen one cat for awhile now. Hope the other one is OK. Thing's are coming along nicely. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and healthy. God bless
They have hand warmer that can be charged so you don't have to use disposable ones and it can charge your phone as well
Had to go turn the heat up just watching that..continued amazement on this end..It is becoming very apparent to me that this family has taken up residents in my life and that a good thing at my age...
Aww thank you James 😊
watching you guys makes me go out and enjoy nature around me .
Wow I love your team work. It's ok to not want to be in the freezing cold. I get how it's hard to get back into motion after a little warm vacation 😩, but you guys pulled through it. Can't wait to see the garden 😍 ☺ 😊. Stay safe and take good care out there.
Cold and horrible weekend in Norway so I have spent it on the couch, found this channel and seen every video from the start of Tiny house build.
I have learned that there is nothing Simple about simple living :D
I noticed your fencing wire is not the special bear proof wire, made the same mistake when I moved here to BC, the deer weren't a problem but the bears raided the fruit trees every year until we changed to special Bear proof wire.
Perseverance is so worth it...went through this building process 40+ years ago, so rewarding over the years, enjoy the journey, these memories you’re creating will warm you, even when it’s cold outside.
This is such a great idea. You and your materials are protected from the elements while you're building.
great job you two
There is nothing like working in the garden in January. You always do a good job on the videos and you are a great couple/family.😄😄😄😄🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
When your hands get that cold they tingle so bad ,great job on the gates
Yes! Thats the fencing I want around my garden. Chip!!! Get on this 😁 pretty please
Oh, and how big of a garden space will this make for you?
100x85
Your dog is so cute. It’s like he is standing Guard like a Sentra
Those half laps would have been the perfect task for Jeremy's favorite tool. The router!
Hey guys I'm jealous, I use to live in Kellogg back in 2008 they didn't have the water park back then but the fishing was outstanding, I worked for a company over in St.Maries doing DishNet work I was an installer, In the months I worked for AW Satellite, I installed 2500 installs plus repairs, my best day was 12 installs someday I was up around the Idaho Canada border, a lady was problems with a animal knocking down her dish, so I had to go all the way to her home in the forest, when I got there her and her daughter was inside pointing out the door and WOW there is the biggest Moose I have ever seen that was her problem he didn't like the Dish and kept knocking it down, So I chased him out of the area, Got down my 28 foot ladder put it next to a huge pine tree grabbed a new dish and up I went, I mounted the new dish at 25 foot of the ground, Then it happened that Moose came back and knocked my ladder off the tree, I shouted to the lady to shut your door I went down the branches about 10 foot off the ground pulled out the 44mag 310 gr jacketed hollowpoints, I shoot the Super RedHawk Stainlesssteel 7.5barrel, I said buddy I'm going to rattle your brains, I took aim at him and KABOOM he took off through the trees, I jumped down and went to the house, the lady asked did you kill that Moose, Oh no ma'am just gave him a helluva a headache plus I beat his ears are still ringing, I put a hole in his rack right next to his ear, he shouldn't be back anymore plus where I put your new Dish he or anything else will never get to it again, she paid me the bill which goes in my pocket cause it's a service call, as far as I know the Moose never came back and her Dish still works well, but I still miss that area one day I'll be back for awhile,, take care of that back look for the Copper mesh back brace they really work might find it on line on CopperFit.com but just take it easy buddy we need you well love you and your family your in my prayers GodBless
When I saw Eli kissing you all over your face, in the last video, brought an instant prickling of tears to my eyes. Thinking of when my boys (4) were young. My youngest is now 24. And then I saw him do it again in this video. 💖 Precious 💞 Thanks for sparking that memory.
He is the best little snug. They grow way to fast! I never say no to kisses.
It took me 3 weeks to watch all your vlogs , but thats me up to date and its been a great experience to watch , its not all peaches and cream when you make a clean break but your both level headed people but you never know what life will throw at you , cheers from Scotland .
Awesome job once again. I learn from you every time I watch your channel. That's how we'll be constructing our new gate.
Another job well done. I’ve noticed that you are very good with the outlay, and esthetics of the homestead, as you complete each phase. There are people that just slap something together and hope for the best, but you seem to have well thought out approaches to your projects, and it will pay off later on when yours is still functioning, and holding up against the elements and time. Thanks for another great video.
Again, hope you are staying warm, and well. God Bless the two of you, and your family!,
My parents built our home from a two room shack. My job when I was a two year old was to carry the coffee can full of nails and hand them to Dad as he was nailing them. I can still remember. My Dad even had me on the roof handing him the nails as he nailed plywood for the entire roof. It was a flat roof for a ranch house.
You guys are great!! I live in a woodsided home in the sticks. We’re still working on our place an you have giving us so much inspiration. Our Neighbor I use to clean for has a 4 story authentic log cabin from early 1800’s. He raised his son for 27yrs with no electricity or running water. When I cleaned for them I had to draw water from the well out back, heat it in a pot over a fire. Go inside Light the candles in the house. It was Awesome! What I thought was neat was their composting toilet. It was a bit wider an taller with a little foot stool, but it looked like a normal flusher. It was in the house like a normal one. Unbelievably The composter had No smell! After using Add Pete to it an under bottom is a drawer that you empty weekly. Within a few days it’s dirt. He kept a big area of compost outside he dumped it in a good way off from the house or water source. The owner I cleaned for sold it after losing his wife an now the new owners use it as an airb&b. We just spoke recently about me cleaning it again. If you go the off grid route of no Flusher, check out Lehman’s Non Elec Amish Store in Ohio. They have some amazing products. An Old fashion two holer is pretty nice too) “I’ll stop advertising the John 😆 wasn’t sure if you saw a message I sent before.” I keep telling my family If the Aztecs could live in a zero waste society with a qtr of million people, why can’t We try?” Our place has septic an power but I want to be off grid as soon as possible. We had a power outage last night an not having a wood stove really made a diff. We’re set up for one just need to get it in. I’d like a country hearth fireplace to cook on. Food taste so much better on an open fire.
Beautiful scenery and beautiful family. God bless you all!
I stumbled upon your channel this evening and I love your family. The work ethic, your lifestyle and how you break it down in realistic way it's comforting. I'm excited to watch your journey as you move forward. Thank you for your candor and inspiration. Kudos!
Thank you so much, welcome to our channel ❤
OMG I CRACKED UP SO HARD WHEN YOU FORGOT YOUR PUNCH LINE on the Knock Knock... GOOD THING I DIDN'T HAVE COFFEE IN MY MOUTH I had just swallowed it!!! Holy cow toooooo funny!!! You two are pretty special for sure...thank you for the laughter God's blessings to you all.
haha well he took so darn long to say, "who's there!"
It takes more time to do it right and do it well. Good for you Jeremy! Bless you guys.
I just love kenji! Such a good dog!
Eli could be the twin of one of my grandsons.. looks so much like him..
Love your sheep. They are trained better than most dogs and they all are adorable. I grew up in northern Maine and I still can remember the freezing hands and body. I joined the Marine Corps in 1994 and have been in the south for the last almost 47 years and I still have nightmares of the frozen tundra life. LOL. Just kidding, I really miss the snow and the distinct 4 seasons. Great job and love your videos.
Thank you for your service 🙏
Your doing really good guys, you can get through this, the slump in motivation is to be expected. You have been working so hard getting the house done but spring is in the air. YOU CAN DO THIS ❤️❤️❤️❤️
this gives me shaytards vibes and i’m living for it.
