You are a man from the 1800 in western America. God bless you, your family and your dog!!! Live well and live long in your new home. You built it; enjoy it to the fullest. Remember us After you move in. Thank you so much for the wonderful videos!!!!

[@cdawg9149]

I used to do my own drywall. I paid a drywall contractor to do the next 3 houses I built. Drywall texture was done in a matter of days instead of weeks. My body was able to heal while the drywall was being completed. Looks like you are doing a great job .

[@karlgriggs8887]

I made this comment before he even started. Why he bought 4 x 8 and not 12s is beyond me. There are crews out there could have ran through the house in less than a week. They wake up every day living to do this and most are rock stars at it. He make some dumb ass excuses that truly make no sense. They could had started in the kitchen, before could had hung the cabinets, they'd have been finished.

[@jesseschoenfelder6455]

Karl Griggs- go shove it. This man has done more work in the last year or so then you've done in a life time. Keep going RPR

[@prpatel04]

Karl Griggs some people, like myself, can’t even afford to pay someone $500 to do the work. I wish I could pay someone to finish my home. I literally have electrical, insulation and drywall left. For most people they would pay someone and be moved in within a month. Me, it’s taking two years now 🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@karlgriggs8887]

@@jesseschoenfelder6455 are we watching the same person? You sir have no idea what I have gone through in my life. I am going to tell something. Two and a half years ago my son was 36 years old, was murdered December 11th 2016, last week nearly 2 1/2 years later, the trial for his killer ended with two convictions. 1st Degree murder and Conspiracy to commit 1st degree murder. Fuck you and your he's done more than me in my life time. I made my comments based on watching his for more than three years. On KZbin alone he makes more than $50,000 a year, so go ahead keep patting him on the back, because he keeps saying this is what he needs.

[@jenniferadams8577]

Karl Griggs good for you! Thank you for that clap back. People need to understand that there are different opinions than one’s own. Putting yourself on KZbin opens you up to critique. Can’t handle the heat? Get out the kitchen! Congratulations on the bittersweet victory.

Thanks for sharing your journey. I find a lot of encouragement in what you've shared. Nothing worth having comes easy. You're not only building a great home but a great legacy your kids and grandkids will be proud of. Keep up the good work!!!

[@BrasherFox]

Oh my, it's all finally comming together. I wish I could step out my front door and hear wild turkey. They were wiped out centuries ago in the UK:-( I do hope you and your family spend many happy years together in that house and I can also see it will keep Ruger happy just listening to the Turkey.

[@offgridathiddenhills4079]

Setting goals is the best way to get things done. Especially when there is too much to do. Looks great.

[@601salsa]

You are truly a good man sir. You have a right to be so proud of all of your achievements to get the house to where it is. Keep the image of what it will be like finished and all the joy and happiness farming in your land will bring you and your family. Keep that image in your mind when you find yourself needing motivation.

[@hisimagenme]

I'm sure it's a test of endurance and patience. I sure wish you'd get some help... it's never a bad thing to ask for a helping hand... needing others is a significant part of being human... though history would say we've done our best to prove that wrong... but in the end it's true none the less. It will be so hard to do flooring with stuff (beds, clothing, dressers etc) in the way. You've got to know completion makes things feel like they are worth it. Finish the upstairs completely... it will give fuel for the fire to the next level. Praying for you all... God speed and blessings...

[@noybnoygdb1022]

Going to have to agree. It is a frustrating situation to be living in a house while you're doing finishing work - speaking from experience. At least the sheetrock will be finished. That's the worst ... mud, scraps, tape and dust all over the floor.

[@traceelewis-alexander5618]

I'm so EXCITED .. you'd think I was moving in!!!! Watching you build this dream for your family was a true blessing to watch..thank you for sharing your journey.... So proud of you!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I have watched your videos since the beginning, and I am impressed. You are a wonderful dad, husband, and carpenter. Keep up the excellent work and keep your head up remember your family and God are your backbone!

[@rjrand8326]

A big old Army surplus tent and a cheep walmart aboveground pool could get you and your family through the hot summer and provide you with alot of little helpers to get the house done. Old pallets make pretty good sidewalks to keep you out of the mud too. A bbq and a garden for food and for cooking. Rent a portapotty as a shitter. Could be big money savers. Just an idea. Good luck.

[@GeoffreyMoran]

What you have done and have yet to do is inspiring. You have come so far and the end is in sight! I only wish we had the opportunity to do what you have accomplished. Keep up the motivation!

You've done an incredible job building house all by yourself . Kudos to you . Looking forward to the move in on or before June 30TH . Here's wishing your family & you many happy years living together in your new home . Cheers Brother !

[@drbrono]

My opinion, and I don't know your situation, but take the extra time to finish it before you move in. The extra time is small compared to the overall project. The amount of time to finish these unfinished projects once you move in will be increased.

[@lauranicholas3914]

The cover song at the beginning of the this installment is perfect for your situation. It's unfortunate your oldest son isn't more involved. My dad built many homes. With four teenagers in the house we nailed a lot of sheetrock, siding and made many lumber yard runs. It was work then, but are memories now.

[@mikebarbacovi9851]

Great enormous work. Much to be proud of. 45 days seems highly ambitious. Lots of drywall, finish carpentery kitchen, plumbing, fixture, flooring, painting work to go. I’d aim for Thanksgiving. Good luck.

[@okier7368]

Lol...you are soo like the men in my family. Hunting, fishing, golf, mowing and even fixing fence lines. Anything to be outside is preferable. You’ve done so much and are so close to the finish line! Stay focused and know 100K folks out here are cheering you forward. Stay blessed.

[@jimh712]

Might be an idea to bring in a couple of drywall contractors for pricing on the down stairs... A crew, maybe 4 men minimum, would finish it a lot faster if the price is affordable... And a similar painting crew..(or larger) Seeing Time Is Of The Essence.... it's just tough to move fast with only one person...

[@geobert7637]

Hire out at least a tape crew

You have run the marathon, two miles and one more hill to go. Get through the drywall misery, and the rest is a ball! Trim, flooring, cabinets and counters are a joy. You can do this brother!

[@victoriaheuman8853]

Ohhhhhh I hear ya! I couldn't live with my mother either, especially her input on my kids. This has been such a huge job maybe it will be best to have the family involved 24/7. They can take some pride helping in the finishing of their home. Excited for your family.

[@bluebird5100]

Get a drywall crew in there to finish and get your flooring laid before all the furniture is in. You got 3 weeks of drywall and paint if you do it. 1 week for cabinets and who know how long for bathrooms.

I know the feeling! We lived with my husband's aunt for a year and a half, she was a wonderful lady, but I told my husband I was moving with or without him! I wanted my own home. He moved us outside of town to a section of land with a barn and a three bedroom farmhouse. It was right then I knew how well my husband understood me. He bought the place before I ever saw it, it was perfect and I loved it so much!

[@jenniferj6580]

You are fortunate to have a husband that knew what you wanted.

[@kenn346]

I heard about you from watching Broken Wagon's Vblog. You two are better and more informative than any reality show on TV. You both are examples of the American spirit and American values. You both show the benefits of family values, believing in yourself, working hard to achieve a goal that will benefit the family, the rewards of doing something positive in life, being a great example for others, as well as other things that I could put on the list. Your two blogs are much, much better than watching similar programs on TV. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family.

[@banjobenson9348]

get a few buddies and push the down stairs drywall in quick, that will give you the breathing room to do the rest of pre move in stuff like cabinets etc. Take one room at a time down stairs and with buddies you can knock it out in a day or so. Do it on a SAT and have the wife come up and barbecue some stuff at the same time so everyone can enjoy it .

[@JohnSmith-cb9rp]

Ruger deserves a buddy for him to show her or him the ropes. If I may suggest, a Mastiff girlfriend would be a great combination, I think. The mastiffs can handle most predators, including mountain lions. But, who knows with all that running around free, Ruger might come home someday with a dog/wolf family of his own. You'll probably have no choice but to adopt them. Dog/wolf combinations are great, too. Very Well Done on what you have accomplished and wish you and yours all the success on your future adventures! It must feel great going back to the roots back in Idaho. All the Blessing, Best

Then it can be used as a temp toolshed/workshop. I know they sell them allot in the Puget sound area of WA. state.

[@albertlilly]

The big thing that keeps the individual from doing what you are doing is the extensive and excessive load that the building of a house by one man causes. You know as well as I do, if you don't get it done now, you never will. A half-finished house does NOTHING but invalidates all you have said regarding things to be proud of and quality. Hire people if you must, but get it all done and move into a completed, finished house. I know you don't know me or a thing about me, but please trust me...move into a totally completed house.

[@jenthrasher5056]

[@listay1]

Agreed! They should ask the neighbours and everyone to rally around and help. They need to make it as complate as possible - with flooring.

[@doggies.will.be.doggies]

At this point, I agree....This man has done SO much by himself that 130k strangers are proud of him and rooting for him. But enough is enough..no point to be proven anymore; it''s about home stretch, getting help, moving in, and putting your feet up for a couple of weeks.

​@Vickie Hadd, but in this video, this one video, he sounded very discouraged. To be honest, he sounds like a lot of guys I know who are great workers, but lose interest and never finish jobs.
