About Us:
We are a family of 6 currently building our dream home our 20 acre homestead in North Idaho. We garden, raise rabbits, chickens, sheep, horses, homeschool, and do just about everything that we can ourselves to achieve a self sufficient and debt free life for our family.
omg.. cutest thing EVER - Eli showing up with his tools and his belt, ready to help. I adore the bond you have with your children and one day- when they present you with grandbabies, every single moment of your bond you made with your own wee babies at this age - will flood back in and you'll relive these glorious moments twice, thrice, and more times over. Life is so so SO good, and you two are living not only your own dream (hurdles and all) but blessing us by bringing us along too. Thank you for sharing your love and your serenity, peace, joy, and lives with us...
Amen. So true. Said perfectly.
Perfectly said ❤️

Melissa your so beautiful, plz, don't put your hair behind your ears!
Blue sheetrock is for bathrooms, it's moisture.
You’ll be ok Jeremy. After it’s painted you’ll forget all about it except when you watch this video.😁
😆 🤣
Lol
It's traumatic... he'll never forget.😮 It's a motivator for sure to get the paint on quickly, but it'll take many, many coats before you cannot "see" the blue. Ha!
Jeremy, so sorry for the loss of your friend. Sending sympathy to his family and your brothers in blue. Love watching you guys work together, reminds me of my husband and myself as we built our home almost 42 years ago. Love your house design, going to be a masterpiece when you get done!
Great teaching marvelous lessons learned 👌 👍
Eli stole my heart when he was up on the horse, tipped his hat and said Howdy Ma'am!! 😍 You two have taught your children well ! ❤ All of them with their own talents , gifts and love. Living in the moment, grasping those " Can we ..." moments are priceless memories. Take it from a Momma of an amazing son who will be 42 this year and a Granddaughter that just turned 20. Time flies by so quickly! Much love, big hugs and lots of prayers from a Kansas Grandma ❤️ 👵
Me too Krissa157, their children are so cute and so well behaved
#raisenemright
OMG Jeremy it's only blue until it's painted or tiled! Melissa give him a butt smack lol🤣😅❤
As a Texan, I can tell you Eli’s hat tip and “Howdy Ma’am” while on horseback was spot on. We can officially make him an honorary Texan. Y’all should show the clip to the Texas Rangers. I’m sure they’d drop a badge on Eli, especially knowing Jeremy’s background in law enforcement.
❤️
Melissa: your commentary at the end really hit home for me. My mom kept that quote by Victor Hugo on her desk for many years. “Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price." Very true!
Yes!
You guys have no Idea how much I enjoy watching your Family living this adventure! Thank you so much for Sharing this adventure with us!!!!! You guys are Awesome!!!!
Eli is the best helper ever; memories with his dad that he’ll carry with him his entire life.
ALL BATHROOMS require waterboard drywall! The blue helps workers to tell the difference between regular house drywall and blue bathroom (waterboard) drywall. Sometimes it comes in a light purple. The blue drywall has the same gypsum content as the regulardrywall, but the blue paper is treated for mold resistance.
Exactly. You want the blue board in high humidity areas. Use the white and you will regret it.
Don't feel bad about the drywall mistake Jeremy. When I built my house, I did everything except the drywall (and concrete) and the drywall(and concrete) came out the worst. Even the pro's suck, and you're doing a better job than they did on mine!
Awesome video Melissa and Jeremy, great job on the bathroom drywall with the help of Eli you got it done!!
It's blue because it has special properties to expelled water, specifically for heavy moisture rooms. BATHROOMS
I think Jeremy was just messing with us because he told his son the exact same thing.
It was great seeing Eli helping out at the beginning. You are both very patient with him. Short little spurts of 1 x15 minutes will eventually become 1 x 60 minutes in the long run. I'm sure each child has a "chore" or "housework" to do? You can add 15 minutes of help in the new house to each child's daily task list. That way they feel incorporated in the project. Listen to their ideas because they might just come up with a faster way of doing something or do it better than you. When you start slow and build up, their self-esteem will grow.
As always, thank you for your wise, timely words. Today was one of those days I found myself dropping the ball. I appreciate your reminder because it is so easy to focus on all the wrong things. But, yes, there is nothing greater than watching our children enjoy and improve with those things we have taught them. There is nothing like the pride we feel when our children succeed. By the way, I love what you said about teaching our children the value of things rather than the price. 💗
❤️
I really enjoy watching your progress with the house, your interactions with family, but most of all I really enjoy your closing statements. Because in them I find hope, joy, love, and wisdom.
I have no idea what the news was Jeremy received, but my heart goes out to him as I am sure it was devastating. My dad was a retired sheriff so I could imagine. Keeping you both and your kids in my prayers. With that out the way, I have spent the better part of two weeks binge watching your channel and can't tell you how inspirational it is to me on ALL levels. Please keep doing what you two do and I can't wait to see that amazing home once it is complete. Imagine the amazing house warming party you could through if you invited all your subscribers... LOL. Be well, stay safe and keep up the good work.
Jeremy knew the Vancouver cop who was accidentally shot to death by another cop who mistook him for a criminal they were hunting.
@@Necile2 thank you and that was devastating. My condolences to both of these families involved and to Jeromy as well. Much love and hugs for comfort family.
Lord hear Jeremy's prayers. All our prayers for a safe day.
one of the officers at his old police office had passed.
My husband and I both don't have any parents left. I miss my Daddy bad! He adopted me and treated me as his own
Could have never asked for a better Daddy. He was so sweet and fair!
Eli: "Howdy, Ma'am" (with a tip of the hat). Love it! He's a natural cowboy. So cute!
Loved the snow globe effect in the intro. Surrounded by endless beautiful scenery. Enjoyed seeing the cat through out the videoing along with hopping a ride on the hay. hehe Kids never tire, sledding, climbing trees, riding horses. Curious horses checking out Eli's hat. I don't see the maple cream cookies anymore. Good to know they weren't discontinued.
You're doing a great job with the drywall! When it comes time for the mud and taping, it covers a multitude of sins... finishing drywall is going to be your artistic challenge.
Your doing great! I can hear Yoda say, "When finishing drywall, carefull you must be. For too much mud makes for much sanding" Contact me if you need any pointers... I'm not Yoda but I am a Jedi Journyman Drywall Finisher.... (Dave) We love watching your videos.
Dave and Laura Floyd
Watching that clip with little Eli and Jeremy teaching him was amazing. I want to teach my son the exact same skills when he is that age. Such a cool moment for a father and son. The build is coming along amazing as always!
You nearly had me believing you’d take those sheets back, despite. Later in the vlog you were explaining that they were more water resistant- then I knew you were having a lend the whole time! An enjoyable VLOG - lovely ending and thoughtful words Melissa. I’m enjoying your house build and the accompanying banter between you both. Greetings from Australia.
Eli ❤🌟 I loved how he turned up with his tools, but laughed my head off when he packed up and split 🤣 even his little howdy on the horse was adorable. I love the way you are building your family ties along with building your home. Thankyou for giving us the privilege of joining you for some of it.
That was so cute!
Jeremy, I’m the same way when it comes to using materials with the same color. It looks like a patch job or you didn’t calculate or buy enough materials. However, your wife is amazing, supportive, and determined! You both complete each other. Even with rough edges of OCD.
Y’all have a beautiful family and it just brings joy to my heart to see that they aren’t forgotten about and can enjoy doing things with their parents God Bless you all
Eli is so cute ❤. He is rockin' that cowboy hat. That was sweet his big brother helped him up on the horse. It is good you are taking time to spend with the kids. I did with mine, but I blinked, and now my oldest is 29 years old. But I have the memories. You have a beautiful family with good hearts. I have to add that Kira is definitely a little country girl. The house is looking great! Don't forget Blue Suede Shoes, Jeremy. You can't forget The King LOL.
Jeremy and Melissa, Your Dream House wouldn't be a true Dream House if you didn't take the time to build a relationship with your children. Children need to feel the love, respect, and value you have for them. They need to know they are more important than you spending every single day working. Yet is also important they realize that you are building this home for them. It will be their home long after they are grown and have families of their own. You are doing a great job of balancing out the home build and family time. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
I was wondering why, blue drywall. Now, I understand 👍.
Try Mary Kay products, it works! Answering to the add.
Jeremy plz, don't grow that nasty beard back. You're to handsome to do that to yourself!
Your way of looking at life, for your children, is indescribably beautiful and admirable! Like love, closeness and warmth make you so much happier than material things! Of course, it's fun and exciting to buy something or get something, but that the children know and understand that, that is not the most important thing. All love to you both adults and to your lovely children ❤️
I remember as a kid when my parents would skip a meeting or take time off work to be able to do something that I had asked them to do with me. Your kids are going to remember times like these forever. I love y’all’s parenting style.
Blue board drywall
Blue board still has the same gypsum interior, but the outside is coated in a blue paper, hence the name. ... The benefit of using blue board is the strong absorption of the blue paper. Since the paper absorbs much better than normal drywall, the overall product is much smoother and evenly toned across the entire wall. easy to finish.
When you gave the sneak-peak with the drywall I gasped LOL, the look on Jeremy's face was hilarious (Nope I don't like it, I'm taking it back.) I was ROLLIN on the floor at this point LOL.
Eli is the cutest, he is so smart and when he packed up and took off, I cracked up! But when he asked to go riding, my heart melted. Your family is great and you are great too. So much fun :) I LOL Love the Smurf Bathrooms and can't wait to see them painted a totally different color (that will be fun) Stay safe, healthy, and happy, enjoy your horses. Loved this video so much.
My husband decided to put an outlet with USB charging in our toilet area. I thought he was crazy at first, but now I see it was a good idea. I plugged a night light in and we do not need to turn on the lights in the middle of the night. You never know when you will need and outlet.
You guys are awesome parents. I love how Jeremy gently shows Eli how to do things. So excited for the finished house. ❤️
Thank You Melissa for your messages at the end of each video. This one is one that I, in retrospect, wished that my parents of the WWII generation, would have taught my brother and I.
I will be 75 this year and I look forward to your new videos. Thank You
Any time spent with the kids is truly special. I remember coming home from a 24 hr shift where my ambulance ran calls the entire shift. I was exhausted but my stepson asked me if we could shoot some hoops. We did and it actually energized me. What a great memory, (it's been 24 years). Love what you do keep up the good work.😀👍🙏
I like the blue board.... ha ha ha🤣.... can't believe this.... it will be covered when finished!! Your home is paradise!!👊💖👏😉☝️
I think your method of marking and cutting is most efficient and saving unnecessary stress on your body is sooo wise! Good job, Jeremy. Your children will grow to belive they can do anything after watching you and Melissa!! Blessings!!! And Happy St Valentine's Day, beautiful family!!!
Who can't look out and fall in love with the mountains. What a great place to have a family. Well done you guys. And thank you for letting us share the experience.
Good job on not taking the sheets back. I get it. Just remember it's just the bones of the house. Let it be motivation to just get it completed sooner! I believe in you guys!
Eli you are a champ. What a heart warming moment to see him helping ❤️
I love your ideas on when you rode the horses. There is no price. Like spending time with your family. Priceless. They love that special time with you. That was very cool.
Love it!!Kiera is totally reminding me of my youth I was just like her at that age..total time boy,cracking her knuckles and her very own fashion sense she is so cute!!!Well they all are.❤️❤️
I meant Tom boy.lol auto correct 🤯😡😜
You need the purple 5/8" fire rated drywall to go with your color scheme. For added color, use Red Gard on your shower walls for waterproofiing. It dries a pretty pink. And seals water out when you tile shower walls. No need for Durorock if you use Red Gard. We used it in our house 7 years ago with no troubles.
🤣
What a cute little helper u have! He came with his own tools. That's more than some workers come with. Eli will remember this day , making memories with the kids is so important. Sorry about the loss of ur friend Jeremy. My prayers for ur heart to heal. Prayers for the family of the lost officer. House is looking so beautiful. Love to all.
I love your little monologue after each video Melissa......so much wisdom ❤
Being the hardcore OCD person I am, I get the sheetrock color difference issue, BUT IT’s TEMPORARY until you texture and paint! I am continually impressed with your rookie skills, Jeremy. One little mess up with the electric box hole is nothing. My prayers are with yours and your Vancouver PD family. I SO loved watching Eli participating and learning alongside you guys.
FYI, my 30-year career tile guy swears that Schluter-Ditra mat over drywall is the best system for tile showers. He swears by it.
Sorry, it’s Schluter Kerdi membrane. The Ditra mat is for floors.
Why, blue dry wall,when, you have to mud it, and paint it?
I would assume that it is blue for the selling company to show it as to show name brand. Since like you say it will be mudded and painted it would not matter if it was bright orange or pink.
You’ll be liking the blue when you start mudding. Easier to see your tape and mud application areas.
Kiera’s fashion is the exact same as my kids’. All. The. Patterns. 😂 I love it!
Family is so important to me and the fact y'all have the same idea is just so heart warming to me. Teaching as you proceed the build is brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Jeremy keep on singing! I love it! Eli, way to go on dressing yourself. You do you! As always the view of your place is breath taking. Just gorgeous! Oh the joys of progress. God Grace, God Bless~
I use Canada’s Schluter Keri board to water proof your showers and flooring. Easy to install and totally water proof. Light weight but strong. You will not be disappointed. Make your own custom shower benches etc. I do all my custom showers with it.
You guys are doing doing an amazing job!!! Few people could do what you are doing. I love your family and the love you show to each other💝
The blue drywall should be fine. It is made for veneer plastering because it is mildew resistant and properties that make it suitable for plaster veneer, but I am not aware that it would be any issue tiling or painting. I would be just be sure it's made in USA or Canada. You can Google many health, safety, and actual home damage caused by foreign drywall.
Should have used green in bathroom
This volume of your life today was so beautiful when the kids went horse riding and were climbing that huge tree along with their beautiful mom... Those Canadian snacks put a little smile on my face , as I am Canadian...lol
Love watching this channel! It’s so inspiring to see all your progress on your build. Your family is just adorable. It was awesome to see all your animals today and the horses are amazing.
Your home and the views are absolutely stunning! So happy for your family
Another full of content vLog💎 Gorgeous horses too, good to see you having some down-time. It was FAB to see your little guy! Eli helping out with Dad 💙💜 (my gorgeous grandbaby Leo💜 2 and half yrs - has a baby brother called Eli 💙 10months) Yes, Melissa it does look like a fun-house💖 all coming along nicely. Made me smile to see Jeremy wants to save an off-cut of blue drywall🥰 I love all you guys 💙💖💖💙💗💜 Catherine, UK, England 🇬🇧 xXx
I especially loved the view of the mountains during the horse riding. Simply Spectacular!
My son got the same exact tool set for Christmas! It was hilarious because he was like "I thought it was going to be toys"... 5 minutes later, he's having a blast tightening up loose door handles and hinges all over the house. I love seeing your little man get involved with this stuff! You guys really are the best!
So cute when your little guy was running back for his tool belt and the cat was running behind❤🐾❤
Jeremy you should love that blue sheet rock, "Blue Hawaii" one of my mom's favorite Elvis Presley movies. Also "The benefit of using blue board is the strong absorption of the blue paper. Since the paper absorbs much better than normal drywall, the overall product is much smoother and evenly toned across the entire wall. The joints are not as obvious, and the final texture is incredibly smooth to both touch and sight." Love your family's videos.
Howdy, Eli! You rock that hat! Mom & Dad are 'Rockin" around the house and I can't wait for the next step, whatever it will be. Before you know it you will be starting seeds in the well house!
Jeremy I’m so sorry about your back. I can sympathize. You do such a great job. God bless you and your family. 🌞🙏🏼❤️
And it's a Joy to see a couple still so much in love. smiling, and joking after building their forever home to the current state
Love how your cat is always around no matter the weather.😊
Howdy Eli! How cute is he tipping his hat? I laughed at Jeremy measuring the blue drywall with the blue drywall square, and marking it with blue chalk.
Scenes from outside are beautiful. Can see why my Uncle Don loved living up there for most if his life. He had a ranch with cattle and horses.
Thank you
In Canada we had to put a moisture proof drywall in bathrooms where tile, tub, etc would go, anywhere moisture might get to it. I think it was blue. But if that was the case, I am sure it would be labelled such. Love seeing Eli with his tools learning a bit. He will remember he helped Dad building the house. You two are doing so well on your journey. The house will be done in the summer!
Blue board is a very good product. It allows for even smoother mudding than standard drywall, and it's more absorbent than the paper on standard drywall, thus allowing sanding and applying additional coats of mud, rather than waiting the normal 3 days. Contractors love working with it.
Jeremy a product that you might want to look into for your dry walling before you start to put on your Corner pieces it's a product called ( trim tex )
I love that color blue 🔵. Eli looks adorable with his tools and helping dad 😍. The house 🏠 is looking great.
Perfect for the boys room! You might come to like it - at least once in a blue moon 🌚.
I don’t think I will ever get tired of that beautiful view! You guys are getting there with the house, I often wondered about your backs with all the heavy lifting you and Melissa do. Cowboy Eli looks great atop his horse and is so lucky to go riding.wishing you all positive vibes and Healing💕💕💕💕💕
Oh no, everyone’s going to see that drywall mistake……..Everyone! 😂 You two work so hard. I enjoy the videos. Thanks
Only 367 k or more will see the mistakes...😂😂😂but that ok because they are made with love 💕💕💕 great job
Their whole family is just lovely ❤️
There are SO many things I love about your vlogs... if I have to name it all, I would write a book! But I find myself listening very intently to the ending where Melissa talks and each time, there is a very special message to take note of. Great to follow you guys. You are an amazing family.
❤️
Your scenery never ceases to amaze me. ❤️❤️
Blue Moon of Kentucky keep on Shinin!!!! Jeremy your just like me The dreaded curse!!! I'm catching up on videos today!! Place Looks Great!! Wonderful Job!!!! God Bless!!!!
I'm a female and blue drywall is for bathrooms for water resistance I think??? Sometimes its dark Green also... Who ever ordered it , ordered the right material for the bathroom is my guess. Check into it as all drywall is grey/white except for the Bathrooms as I remember renovations from years gone by.........
Your right Val, we have similar colouring colour definitions for our gyprock (what you call drywall).
Isn't it blue because it is some magic board that repels water? I am sure I have seen it used in many bathroom builds.
Oh the nostalgia!! I'm Canadian but I moved to the UK 12 years ago. I can't tell you how jealous I am of your Maple cookies and Coffee Crisps! I hope you enjoy every single bite 🥰🥰
The time you are spending on your closings are well worth the effort. I adore the builds and subscribed a LONG time ago when it was gardening, meat rabbits, and then a tiny house. But I have stayed to watch you parent. I still love the work and the projects and will look forward to your spring series, but your reminder to relish the joy of watching your kids do what your taught them is priceless. THANK YOU.
❤️
Having watched the whole video, the thing that stands out the most is the value of family.
Spending valuable time with the children and teaching them about life,
All exclusive of laboring together! Great job!
Us cops hate change..... Your Gunna paint it J...
You guys make all of this work look so easy. Everytime I watch your vids the one word that keeps coming to mind is WOW!❣❣
My grandma was from the Ontario area. Unfortunately she passed when my mom was young. But I'm starting to find out more about this side of the family. Amen to today's lesson....
The end was my favorite 😉 so cool to watch them learn to ride. Beautiful horses, beautiful scenery & beautiful family 🥰
Use kilz 2 paint on the blue and green drywall to completely eliminate the color of the base drywall color.
Jeremy is working SMARTER not HARDER.
Blue drywall is moist resistant product.
Green variety of drywall is mold resistant.
More you know.
Dad-pun game is strong.
I loved the children coming to see the progress one at a time, Eli was a great help, but his hammering didn't really hit the mark but at least he tried, Yes family time is so important and to see each of you riding the horses was a pleasure to see, the Blue bathroom definitely gives a splash of color.
You are so right Mum these memories will last forever. Love little Eli so sweet mannered and that howdy mam was so sweet.
Hi Family!
The kids are getting big, they are so beautiful, adorable and precious especially Lil Eli. Enjoy your day and be bless!!
It's so good to see you spending time with your kids. I think that you have your priorities in order as much as we imperfect humans can! Prayers for your family for health and safety and happiness! God Bless!!!
P.S. That is a really blue room. May it never rot from humidity. I'll also be praying that it warms up soon. So you can start painting walls!😜
Happy Valentine's Day!
The blue is not for mudding taping or paint so tile it or put up a veneer
Couldn’t agree more Melissa 👍 Yet again another beautiful ending speech from you.
We are also building our forever home (mostly ourselves) and today we celebrated our third child’s 7th birthday at the beach. Time away from the build is refreshing and so precious watching them enjoy themselves in the sand and sea. It’s good to have a balance. ✅
Beautiful family. The house is really coming together, I’m enjoying every video.
Your children are just the sweetest ever! That just melted my heart when he said, can we ride horses instead. What a little cutie. One of your horses has the most beautiful blue eyes.
God bless you all. Roll on spring xx 😘
You guys always bring smile to my face!
You're doing well with the sheetrock. It is a pain. I've seen many times where "professionals" have made huge goofs. You've only made some tiny ones. I prefer to have mud around plugs when I insert them. Sometimes a screw into the plug makes them easier to hold. The real work comes with the mudding. Take the time to be very carefull to clean your joints as you go to minimize the sanding. Looked like a great sanity pause. Good Luck, Rick
Loved your post today. A great mix of activities. Surprising how much dust hangs around in the air …. Great shot of it in the sunlight. Beautiful family. 🙏🥰
Teaching your children to understand the VALUE and Not the PRICE is an Eternal truth and it is something that should be taught EVERYWHERE. Thank you for these reminders of what is important. MAHALO
The blue drywall is mold and moisture resistant the blue colour denotes this
Blue board and green board are both designed for use in applications where regular drywall wouldn't be sufficient. Blue board is for walls that will be finished with veneer plaster. The other specialized wallboard product -- green board -- is intended for use in areas that will be regularly exposed to moisture.
Found this on a Google search it's important information about the color of the drywall
I have no knowledge about drywall. Question: Does that mean it was a mistake to use the blue boards? All green boards would be more appropriate for a bathroom? And even finish? Also, should then the ceiling have green boards too? I just like to understand 😊
@@liatori6214 they should have used all green board in the entire restroom that way they can mud and tape and finish with paint just like the entire rest of the house. Blue board is for veneer finish and cannot be mud and taped like green board and standard drywall
@@dennisfliegel7588 Thank you kindly, Dennis. I really hope they will correct this mistake, before they find out while finishing the drywall. And I hope they will use the moisture barrier/ green boards for the ceiling too.
"Always strive to understand the value of things...not the price!" (paraphrased) This one is going in my book of favorite quotes.
Love your daughters outfits. She's showing her artistic style.
Bless her heart.
I'm beginning to think every room should have at least one blue piece of drywall, it will help encourage Jeremy to work harder and faster at getting everything taped and textured then painted!
😆
Super nice!
I vote "YES" 🤣🤣
@@eduardomontes1276 Me too!!! 🤣
Aww blue is an awesome color ..... mother earth 🌎🤣😀
Beautiful People Doing Beautiful Things!!! Family First!😊❤🙏🙏🙏🐴🐴
Love the ending. "Educate them to be happy". Perfect....
