    I don’t know how I missed you all these years. The two of you are living probably most people’s dream especially mine. All I can say is a job well done and requested. You’re happy the rest of your lives.❤

    You will remember this Christmas for the rest of your life. I have so enjoyed watching you two work together. I hate to see this play list come to an end. Often when I'm binging to catch up on a new channel, I will speed it up, but yours, I watched and enjoyed every minute with you. In just a couple of days I have lived a couple of years of your life with you and I must say it was a pleasant experience. And your video making skills are quite good. I notice a lot of how you put your vids together that most people will never realize if they don't make and edit videos. You know how to tell the story without words. No easy task. Your many camera angles always lend to the flow of the story. So good. What you two have done with simple hand tools is rather astonishing in this day of rat race got to get it done yesterday with a minimum of effort mentality. I've come to love you both!! Now I'm stuck having to wait between vids lol! But I'll look forward to them.

    What could be better than a newly finished floor, a toilet almost ready for use, a door jam properly aligned, skating on ice without skates and a chocolate and fruit fondue celebrating 4 years together. Life is grand. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing your life's adventure.

    You know how fast the years go by to see someone dream become a reality a job well done and a view from the cabin like painting very nice location. You definitely need some oak and walnut for firewood last longer than soft pine tree logs.

    what an awesome way to show your love to others by how you two react to each other. I have watched all of your videos the most amazing thing, how peaceful you two are toward each other. As I see others' comments something is absolute and that is the positive effect you two have on others. So congratulation .you built a beautiful cabin which has your hard work and the love that you put in with patience, and respect for maela by allowing her to participate ( most men don't have that patience. as an unfortunately I am one of them. So thank you I learned something new from a younger person) most of all you allow her to learn and grow .that is impressive and through to all of these, the community that you invited have enjoyed and I am sure some of them may want to do what you have done and I can't thank you enough for sharing your journey with us although Minnesota is very cold we send you warmth and prosperity and happiness. Have great Christmas and new year.

    Great job on your new place!! One thing you might consider is if you raised your water catchment system on a platform, top just below the gutter, the water would gravity feed to your sink and bathroom without the need for a pump and no need to refill the container below the sink. Looking forward to more videos!! 🙂🙂

    What a beautiful couple and a beautiful video. You are capturing nature so perfectly now I can't wait to see your videos each week. That shot of the water running down stream under the ice was mesmerizing. What a fun tradition with the Fondue, thanks for sharing it with us and for making these entertaining videos! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and that you have another wonderful 4 years together. I met my wife in fall of 2017 and it took us 5 years to bring her here from the Philippines. We just got married this October almost 5 years to the day from when we first met. This is our first Christmas together as a married couple and we are starting our own traditions. We both love your videos and this one was special to us so thank you!

    Frohe Weihnachten, einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr sowie recht viel Gesundheit euch beiden. Für eure Eingangstür hätte ich zwei Vorschläge. 1. Im Türsturz ein kleines Vordach und im unteren Türblattbereich auf der Außenseite ein Abtropfprofil fürs herunterlaufende Regenwasser. Der "horizontale" Schenkel sollte über die Leiste im Türschwellenbereich herausragen, damit das Regenwasser gut abgeführt wird.
    Alles Gute für euch.
