Live in cape Town south Africa 🇿🇦 watch all the time and have been subscribed for years 😊love this channel clap
I'm almost three quarters of a century old , married 49 years,and believe me Katie is every young man s dream,love watching these young people work together,
I can only agree!
As a three quarters of a century old woman, let me say that Katie is also lucky. 😉
Fact!!! Katie is learning and doing . And rolling right alongside Greg, its a beautiful thing..... 🏁🏁🏁🤙🤙
Speak for yourself, mister.
One tree. ONE TREE! Made all of that wood!! I can’t wait to see it all completed, it’s gonna be so beautiful! 😊❤ Love you guys! 😘
That was one heck of a beautiful tree!
Greg..you are one very lucky man to have Katie as your partner…hard working get into it young lady!! Working and helping you all the way. Katie is a Rock Star
Katie, we love your saw mill "dance." 😂
Nice to see you are using our swedish Chainsaw. I live near Husqvarna.
Hus = House , Qvarna = The Mill
We started out with milling being Greg's true passion, with him wanting to build the complete home with just his own milled timber. Then, due to time constraints, had to abandon that plan. But, now we all also understand the peace and tranquility of working at the mill, not only for you both, but also for us all as well. Incredible.
I am happy for you that you were able to utilise that HUGE fallen tree. That milling was obviously a large task, especially for the first two cuts.
I am really impressed on how you two have grown stronger and together while building your home.
such beautiful lumber, not just free and it's from your home; so cool
Having access to the timber and having the right machinery / tools is a huge bonus. Imagine having to buy all that lumber. You’re definitely the A team - great work.
Katie should be the model of that Mill Manufacturer!!! She love milling wood.
I guess I wasn’t the only one to see that, yes they do make a good couple.
Katie, I have been wanting to say this for a while. I did not because of no way to comment while watching on TV. Today I am on PC so I will say what is on my mind. You are one beautiful lady with stunning brown eyes. Please put on safety glasses when operating the nail gun. I watch another channel Wild Wonderful Off Grid and her husband almost lost his eye to a nail gun. Since that time about 18 months ago he wears safety glasses. Murphy's law is at play at all times. God Bless in all things. Love from Texas.
👍👌👏 You are absolutely right. 2) He will definitely have hearing problems soon (if not already). While operating a chainsaw and a bandsaw mill with combustion engines, safety equipment simply is a must (or you will regret it later for sure).
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Gloves TOO! Even a single splinter can be AWFULLY PAINFUL! Just sun damage on my 75yo hands draw more attention than i like! ✌️💓
That tractor is worth every penny you paid for it. So cool to be able to make your own dimensional lumber! It's also cool that chickens are both adorable AND delicious!
In construction , we had a John Deere that size. I would tell my Pops it was worth 10 laborers easily!!👍👍
The smell of fresh milled lumber must be amaizing.
Try this to roll a log : wrap a rope , cable , or chain around it and pull .
And you can use the tractor to help pull.
My uncle use to raise chickens on his homestead. One year money was tight, and he decided to mix saw dust with the chicken feed to stretch it out and get him through the winter. Well in the springtime when those chicken's eggs hatched three of the baby chicks had wooden legs and one of them was a woodpecker.
😂😂😂
Y’all got a lot done today. Those logs were huge, but Greg did a great job, milling them to size. The animals were, into everything y’all were doing today. I appreciate how well you keep them in line with everything going on. Very productive day,take some time to relax. See ya next time.💯👍🏾😀🫶🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
The dynamic duo does it again! Greg Katie a tractor and a mill, there’s nothing they can’t do 😊❤. Wow guys just luv ya!
This is my favorite milling episode because Katie is wearing BOOTS!!! Yes, no flip flops!!
Thank you. 😊
Very industrious day on the sawmill. I would be lying if I didn't say I was really glad to see Katie put her hair up when she was milling. I could see a catastrophe unfolding with her hair blowing in the wind, Keep plugging away, you will have things ready for the Kids!
I sat back with a fresh bowl of popcorn. The shed looks great so far. The new lwn looks so lush with all that rain. Look forward to the next video, and the cast of all the animals and pets. Thank you for the quality videos.
Wow I bet the smell is wonderful around the cutting of those trees,gorgeous slats of wood! Great video!
You two are phenomenal! You can and do everything! I am living vicariously through you.
Your determination in milling a tree that was too big for your mill demonstrates your ingenuity and perseverance. Your craftsmanship and problem-solving skills are truly impressive. And I am Floating Village Life, admiring your dedication to woodworking excellence.
Awesome job, to mill your own lumber,not have to rely on store junk. Way to go Greg you have a keeper in Katie. Such a pleasure watching your videos, keep up the great work.
I believe Greg is the only guy to figure out milling that huge log, nobody else would even try. Love you guys and your videos.❤❤
The Grass is so thick & Beautiful your Iris's. Are Beeautiful Here in Georgia my Iris bloomed 2 months ago has come & Gone my Gladys are in full Bloom right now.Cant hardly wit for the next video when your working on the inside of the barn!
The savings made on milling your own. Top job
You are doing great, Greg and Katie! Keep on building your dream.
Its great that you can go and get a log from your property and mill the lumber you need . Something you should look at for your tractor is a skidder attachment . and log chokers. I surprised that you dont wear chain saw chaps /faller pants and other PEP when running a chain saw
Everything looks great nice clean. Flowers are coming out. Hope garden is doing good.
You know it's a good video when you're fearing for Greg's life 5 minutes in.
Beautiful boards!
Katie all the flowers are looking so nice.
Katie when you were milling the first time it looked like you might be pregnant but the second time not so. Either way I think you would be a great mom. You guys really did a great job
Work smart not hard = a wood trolley (or an arch with two wheels) would definitely be an extremely helpful device to have (DIY fabrication is easily possible). With something like this chained to the end of trunks, one can easily pull those (even big/heavy ones) with a tractor.
You two work so well together and it's great you don't have to purchase all that wood. When you say you built if from scratch you really mean it!!! : )
Really exhausted just watching you two ! Thanks for the critters footage and another great show.
I love all the shots of your animals. The goats and birds are dogs are all so cute, but the goats steal the show with their mischievousness. I love how patient you two are as you keep them from destroying your equipment, etc. ❤ Looking forward to seeing the babies when the time comes! 🐐
That Katie can do anything not to take anything from Greg I love it when she runs the mill
Katie thank you and your husband for making this videos and your husband is mighty lucky have a beautiful and strong woman by his side I hope for all the blessings that Jesus Christ will give to you and your husband.
It is amazing to watch you guys getting those logs out of the woods and on to the mill. I had a bigger mill and I would have never tried anything like that.
That’s some very nice looking lumber you just milled.
Very impressive work and productivity you guys! I enjoyed you checking on the eggs Katie. I really like the Silkies, very interesting appearnance. It must be quite satisfying to mill a pile of lumber like that, knowing what you will be building with it. I look forward to the next update to see the build progress. Have a productive week and be safe out there. Larry , Central Valley, Ca.
Love watching all your projects and all the hard work you both put in! Woman to woman, you rock girl.
For a while your barn is going to smell soooo piney inside, good smell !
Hi Katie & Greg! Excited to see the kid’s! I grew up on a 100 acre farm in upstate NY. We grew our own food & raised our own farm animals! I am proud of all the progress you have made on the barn 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Wow! Tractor master at work.
That tree made some really nice boards. Lots of work, but saved lots of money.
You both are an inspiration for working together and making the best decisions possible for your future, well done to you both 👏👍❤️
I find the machines interesting and there is always something challenging going on while milling, using the tractor, etc. (from 74 Y/O Grama from S. Calif.) Since I have been watching, they have made some great strides and improvements to the homestead 💚The goats are curious and want to be right there in the action‼ Love the chickens and baby chicks.....hard working Katie & Greg.....well done❗👌💯
@37:19 that is one crazy cat !!!!
WOW that is some beautiful lumber that should make great interior walls.
God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
That made beautiful lumber.👍
Always working and enjoy what is needed to be done. I love you guys for what u guys do having high spirits and energy in what is needed to be done. Also having the spirits of working as team. Kudos and Godbless.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
So proud of you guys non stop projects. Homestead is looking fab now....fan from oz. Love watching videos inspirational....look after health ... use the hot tub for aches n pains enjoy a good break after your hard yakka
Greg is in His glory!! I love his mischievous laugh😂
My fave intro’s all your babies ❤
I think that if you would be able to calculate all the lumber that you were able to get from your property you have paid for you mill at least twice over! Yes, there is some labour involved in cutting, but that also includes some form of “relaxation” when certain parts of the body is able to “rest”. Change of pace is as good as a rest! And you get to show your muscles, or how strong you are! And excel Katie in strength, but for how long!
That's a great looking log I bet that smells really good and that great lumber
@ 2:00 Greg big hammer and big chainsaw LOL
The sawmill is getting a solid workout cutting logs to boards for the goat enclosure.
get a set of rear forks and make a rear ballast for the tractor when using forks of about 400 kgs then you will find the tractor much more balanced and nimble
Great looking boards from that log! And tons of nice sawdust for the kids to have in their box ❤
The wood you mill is much better quality than Home Depot.
Katie, your intro shots and music make this a quality channel. Your camera positions make interesting shots also. Maybe the turkeys need to jump into your freezer. Blessings to you.
You two tire me out but I can’t stop watching. That tractor is a wee beast of a machine!
Great video ya'll! That tree made some beautiful boards. That's such a blessing that ya'll can make your own lumber especially now that it's so expensive to buy. You two youngins make a great pair. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls time together and beautiful homestead
I'm definitely going to save this video ! Love it when Katie uses the mill !❤️
GOOD JOB LOOKING GOOD U 2!
Awesome video ! Great job on that big tree guys hard to handle but a lot of lumber :) Katie runs that mill like a pro 👍& always out keeping the animals happy :) You both should be very proud of what you have together there& each other!
That was a busy day with lots of work for you both. Milling is heavy going and time-consuming. You both did really well and another tree used for good purpose ❤ xx
This one blog I could sit here for hrs and watch there channel to
Yes Katie keep em in line great teamwork with milling and construction both of your hard work is paying off well done !😊
Great job guys. Always impressive to see your hard work. Tip. There is a cone you can use in front your logs when hauling it as it prevents hangup and goes smoothly.
Music very nice not loud , nice background music
I could watch you guys on the mill all day long 🇨🇦
Hello Katie and Greg. With all of the wood the two of you had milled, I thought I would see the finished, or close to, project. Next time I suppose.
Have good days!
Great job. You guys are the hardest working people, you never slowdown! You are building a heck of a nice place, bits by bits. Rewarding just watching you go.
Greg my friend, yes it seems mind numbing to stand and push that saw but what I get to see is, we as
city dwellers, have to mindlessly walk up and down market isles to choose what we want (or what is
offered) and pick mostly mid quality stuff where as you get to roam the isles of great forests to pick
and choose high quality usable goods. How many if honest would prefer what you have in comparison. .....
Often while watching you mill that I almost can smell the sweetness of the fresh cut wood in my living
room. Hard work yes but look what you get in return...the satisfaction and sense of well being taking
a downed tree that would otherwise rot in place and turning it into something of beauty and usefulness.
I am so very thankful that you guys choose to share with us your daily lives. Guess it is just a difference
of your point of view. Looking forward to seeing how you use that new milled wood.
lov ya guys, Me southern AZ. (USA)
Love the beautiful photography of the animals and the views of nature also love how Greg's always seems to have a plan❤❤😂God Bless and be safe 🙏
Sometimes you guys do shit that just doesn’t look safe. 😂
Wow!! You two put in a lot of work milling those logs. Great job guys !!!!
