5th Course COMPLETE! (Walls Up From Here)

[@lindawilson4625]

I can't even wrap my head around your day to day life...and you are building a house..and running a KZbin channel. I'm so impressed. I don't have a fraction of your energy & willpower.

[@Desert-Dweller]

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I weeded a 4 feet section of garden today and I had to go to bed for a couple of hours. 😂

[@Simbabeck]

I absolutely agree. But I did walk our dog today and played fetch with her before I had to take a nap. (but I'm 75, so there's that) But Tiny Shiners ROCK the HOMEstead!!!

[@bonanza27]

ashley you are doing amazing bb- asking for help is never easy but it is soooo worthwhile. thank you for your vulnerability with your fans and for highlighting this very important topic ❤❤❤ the roundhouse is coming alive!!!!

[@ithacacomments4811]

Each of us has our own path to walk in life. We each are gifted by God with gifts and talents. Embrace your unique gifts and talents!

[@Martti-xp1re]

I love how you make everything your attitude. Your such a inspiration for future for sanity. Most of all i like to know your building tech. Landskaping and farming. Its such a pleasure to follow you because your a wonderful nice family your more than just about building a home. Thanks for you posting

[@timfogl1958]

Each one of you should be sooo proud of your hard work and dedication. Lean on each other for continued support. You are the definition of FAMILY. Wow, impressive.

[@TammyRaffurty]

We built a log cabin at 9,000 feet elevation years ago. It was a very hard time, but as a family we have never forgotten that experience. Think of all the things you all have learned along the way. Those hard times will be treasured memories, eventually!

[@marilynlautner2454]

Ashley, you should be nominated Mom of the year. I know I couldn’t keep up with your load. You’ve have amazed me since the first episode!❤

[@Murphycats]

It really looks fabulous. Your attention to detail is already paying off. The bags and everything look so perfect!!!!

[@sevenonfive1968]

One day when you look out of the window, sipping a hot beverage, I can proudly say, I was part of the journey.. easier said than done considering the efforts you guys are putting in.... your sense of pride will be a thousand fold. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@s.l.cruson8744]

Consider using large empty cardboard boxes the size of a refrigerator, stove, mattress and any other large items and test walking through the door and place in the kitchen or other room. This would help when understanding how the items will fit before too much wall is built. Does this make sense?

[@heather1387]

Ashley “what do you like to do when you have some alone free time? Mine is reading. Congratulations everyone on your dedication to family. You are all an inspiration.

[@joannrabideau1657]

I can’t imagine all the stress, anxiety, frustration that you all go thru. If it is any consolation you guys are doing a great job. One day you will look back and be so proud of your accomplishments ❤️

[@StoneKathryn]

Yay, walls going up! The courses are looking good! It is a lot of extra steps to add this 5th course of the wall onto the hyperadobe roundhouse. I feel for you guys but I'm so glad you did such a good job on your foundation. I like the nails you're using to secure the hardcloth to the bags. You guys are so amazing! It's nice that you finished with the short wall for the day. Wow, rain and hail! Cool, finishing the final wall. I hope you can finish before the storm. It is coming in soon! Nice, it blew past you! Congratulations, that 5th course is complete! Thanks for the drone shots. It looks so cool! Thanks for this fun to watch video Longnecker family!

[@Ecila-Samerberg]

Liebe Ashley, danke das du deine Therapie mit uns teilst, das is mutig und sooo unterstützend. Thank's ever so much. I wish you all the best. Therapy is a long journey. Keep on going, never give up. Lots of love from Germany. Alice

[@nomorehate9176]

So COOL to see the layout so clearly now!! Great progress!!

[@AdobeDregsCoffee]

Jeepers, you just work and work! Ashley, you got this! We got you too! It is amazing that it is this far along. Cooler weather coming and easier to work, but losing daylight in the fall is not ideal. lol Grab a cup of coffee and say ...aaahhhhh!

[@matenloe2598]

Your entire family makes wonderful videos, and it is so nice to see SOMEONE building their dream... It is nice to see your swale in the rain... In restoration projects in China they spray river water that has suspended clay mud in it from trucks and the mud binds to sand and gives grass roots something to hold onto as they restore regions... In Arizona the Army Core Of Engineers did a swale study years ago and the best one was a horseshoe shaped hill that after years of settling looked to be about ten feet high with the open end facing upslope towards mountains it was a floodplain so the water flowing is less intense than a gully wash and the horseshoe shaped hill was a thicket of trees and grass and had water in it whereas outside of it was desiccated from drought....

[@edelmirajensen2983]

Greetings from Mexico! I hope you get better soon ❤ As mothers we supposed to be, moms,caregivers, counselors, cooks, housekeepers, wives, friends and never get sick 😂 But we run empty sometimes please take care of yourself. Thanks for being such an inspiration for many of us.❤

[@jasonallen1532]

Someone in your family has an eclectic taste in music. Really like it!

[@wandacraig8286]

I just want to tell you, thank you Ashley for being so honest. To us you look like superwoman with superman and superkids, which actually makes me respect you even more, if thats even possible!!! No matter if you need to ask for help, you still make it all look seamless. I can't even image all the demands! At 66 i would be throwing in the towel😂

[@Simbabeck]

I knew this was a massive undertaking but today I realized that the Chicken Garden was not as huge as I had previously thought. Y'all are indeed Mud~Masters, Master~Plaster... Bountiful Bucket-Blasters, Plastic Wrap, slap it back, plasters! The House grows and so do your children... Such an amazing channel! So glad you share your journey! Thank You!

[@jo-ellenbass2261]

Guys, I'm excited for you! All those walls have red tops now! The house is starting to take shape, and it is easier to see how things are going to work. I started watching your channel when you were about half way through the solar shed. It's been a long haul, with a lot of experimentation, but it is starting to come together. I love the nature shots, especially the recent cloud effects, plus the dogs and cats playing.

[@Simbabeck]

We started watching when there were still on the road and had just decided to look for land... and to see the younguns grow as everything else grows too... Such an amazing family journey.

[@stargirlofantares9053]

@@Simbabeck It’s not a contest. You’ve both been watching a long time! Longer than me. Halfway through the chicken garden, but we’re all cool, cuz we found them and we support them. At the end of the day, we all matter! Just the same.

[@Simbabeck]

@@stargirlofantares9053 what is so cool is that we’re able to still see the older videos from when they sold their home, first camper, then renovating the Airstream… everyone has grown so… way, WAY cool! 🎶💕

[@lorraineadkins3743]

Congratulations on finishing the 5th course 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@dhl1544]

It's really taking shape. Good work. Also the kids are really bulking up. They look really healthy.

[@ShanShan-kw9hi]

5th course!!! So excited for you guys and wishing you quick progress now that you’re passed the Vapor barrier and mesh

[@susaneverett3357]

Feel better honey. You are worth it. ❤

[@janetkoball44]

It's so nice that your whole gang is pouring out the work together. I'm sure that all of you can do every job by now. I used to hear each of your children give a tiny talk about a book or something they were interested in. I miss their thoughts. You all need a big pat on the back.

[@dyannejohnson6184]

Hail! …it’s so pleasing to see water in the gulley units in your land rescue project!

[@silverroses248]

Oh my goodness! That's Sacred Architecture-- You've got the Golden Mean!

[@veeemit9719]

Little by little, bit by bit the hyper adobe round house is rising like a phoenix from the desertscape😊

[@vanessasouth3562]

It's coming together guys. I'm impressed with all of your engenuity and hard work.

[@ahomeinpisgahontheroad4481]

Love your swales are so working!❤

[@Marleen.Remeysen]

Well, this is huge...! How many days do you need - with the whole family involved - to lay 1 complete round (without bad weatherbreaks or other reasons)? If I were you, I'll celebrate after every second or third round, just to keep the mood in. Ashley, with everything you do... no wonder you can look and sound so tired by moments! I remember from earlier videos that even your 'dates' are combined with preparations for the construction 😮! You are a wonderfull woman, you are nice and funny, interested in so many things and willing to learn new skills, you are a practical and hardworking person with a great hart on the right place. Jonathan and you have well educated and very interesting children. 👏👏👏❤ But 'please', for the sake of us all... don't be so perfect ... we can't keep up with you! 😊

[@judithdobbins742]

You are a hard working family and very dedicated to getting things done.

[@veeemit9719]

It’s very exciting to see how well the berms and swales have been doing. The trees look so good and well established.😊

[@dawnbaker9274]

Love the aerial shot of the completed 5th course. Loving the red.😊

[@rianaolivier9741]

Congratulations! Fifth course done.

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

Glad the storm passed you by this time, so you could finish what you wanted to get done. The pick of music is always a nice touch. Thanks for all the hard work getting these videos out to us all to watch. 🥰

[@gowest5145]

Congratulations on all the work done! You are saving yourself so much money. Look forward to seeing the walls. We have had a cool, wet summer this year in central New Mexico.

[@patrickrussell1888]

Coolwest...not sure where abouts you are talking, but its been hot in Albuquerque. However, monsoons have been better this year than last...the Desert Willows have really blossomed this summer... twice because of the rains!

[@ruthlward3240]

Can't wait for when you'll have to be installing window framing.

[@irenesprinkle6962]

I look forward to each Tuesday and Saturday. You skills and techniques fascinate me.

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

Your swales are glorious! Looking wonderful tiny shiny.

[@kellykremer7431]

Ashley, you're eyes are so gosh dang beautiful!

[@maryhart637]

😍 Beautiful!! The drone shots really show your vision...I especially love the shot of the house and the chicken garden...ah the symmetry ❤🌈💚👏

[@misspeterpan8027]

It's really coming along! So much work but looking great. The music just keeps getting better and better.

[@karensartain]

Congratulations on the 5th round completion! Getting all that hard stuff out of the way, you’ll be able to fly thru the next courses ( until you get to windows 🙂 but then you’ll fly again! It’s looking great…you’re an amazing family and Ashley, moms are always too hard on themselves…know you are seen and we acknowledge your struggles…it IS hard, and you’re still hanging in and getting so much done. Enjoy your ‘breathers’ and thanks for the link. Take care ❤️

[@Judiland]

Careful Ashley, Johnathan will put on his Aussie hat and magic time!❤❤❤😊

[@SherrylSmart]

WOW how beautiful and green the desert 🌵 is

[@MelissaMalzahn]

This year the desert is alot greener than normally it is at the end of August. You all have to be overwhelmed. Living the way you are plus the hard work building your home. Great job again. Having everyone work together gets it done faster. ❤❤❤

[@ThomasKing-x6q]

Wow, I am amazed at the drive and resilience you and your family have. Keep up the work.

[@sharondagostino3348]

I can tell you this! Having MS and watching from my sofa, I envy your goals! Much easier to say, but I wish my body would could work like yours 😊

[@robyngrubb8413]

Love the last round on your walls, mighty effort. Bravo :) !

[@paulineesmaewilliamson5754]

It is incredible how you all work well together. It has encouraged me to try and do something like this for my children survival camp I'm working on for my grandchildren and community. One of my dreams or one on my bucket list. You have inspired me big time. We live off grid too.

[@sheribristol2826]

Hoping that with the heat index starting to go down that you all can make some great headway on your walls soon!

[@echoravenrider932]

Im so proud of you! 🎉

Caint wait to see you decorate everything

[@deedawson6074]

Always ready to get things laid! 🤣😂🤣 thank you for the chuckle Ashley. Cowboy hat time. 🇳🇿

[@lovespurpleflowers]

The shape of this new structure kind of reminds me of “mysterious UFO” landing sites, I can’t wait to see how it all turns out! As for me, I would be long dead from exhaustion before the doors were even erected!❤

[@hyabussa5747]

Ya'll don't need a gym payment with your project lists. Nice work!

[@patrickrussell1888]

5th bag row done...summer almost done (at least days a bit shorter, less heat build up!). Great work! That heat can sure wear one out. Happy days to Ada.

[@denisec6577]

It would be so interesting to get a 10 second slice of what each one of you are listening to while working so hard to knock out these big goals. I bet it’s quite varied and fascinating. LOL! 😂

You and me both 😂

This family works so hard on their homestead AND makes gorgeous videos. Having no reception I have missed many but must watch more often (to improve my videos !!) I finally got phone reception and wifi where I live !!

[@frededward6176]

Always enjoy watching TSH videos. Can't stop seeing a "Stone Henge" with the door frames in the long shots of the Roundhouse .

[@Richardwhytsell]

I am just amazed what a family can do when they work together. Blessings to your family. Love the vids so much.

[@drewcutler5550]

I think you may want to start investing in a scaffold with a ramp for your wheelbarrow. You’re going to be lifting a lot of dirt once you get to the 10th course

[@TinyShinyHome]

We’ve built plenty of tall earthbag walls and yes a scaffolding is helpful 👍🏻

[@bettyjoburgess6272]

Thank you Ashley, for sharing how helpful Mental Health Counseling can be at any time in a person's life. Sincerely, Betty Jo

[@MamasCountryCookingnMore]

ASHLEY, you are amazing and beautiful. I love your sense of humor. Putting yourself out there is a hard thing. Please remember it's okay to cry and have moments, we need that release, to help us fight another day. You guys have put a lot on yourselves, building this amazing life. You are teaching your children wonderful skills they will take into their lives. Thank you for letting us have a glimpse of your lives. Man if I had the money I'd send you a day at a spa getting massages and relaxation! I really enjoyed your day cooking. Showing us your amazing mom skills! Remember You Can Do Hard Things! Sending love to you and your family.

[@mothermedicinemusic]

Wow the drone capture - a living sustainable crop circle! Impressive! Jumping up and down that Number 5 is down, out of the ground! I can feel your relief - so much work to bring it up out of the ground. Cheers folks! And grand celebrations! aaannnnndddd Onward🌟✨🎊

What backfill?

Its all about the weather, at least you can see it coming.

[@lorrainetreves8364]

Hi, for a desert environment, i am truely surprised how much rain you get

[@patrickrussell1888]

Are your water storage tanks getting full yet? Doesn't seem like you have to go for water as often(?)

[@TinyShinyHome]

The average is 12” here. It’s really not very much. We have gotten far less this year at our homestead. Doesn’t take much for the desert to green up :)

[@mtaunga]

You must be so excited to see it coming together!!!

[@sandrachalmbacher3726]

I’m super excited for you’ll can’t wait for the decorating part

Yah, the house is going up, happiness❤

[@hross5631]

How far are you from Roswell? When the aliens come back, they'll probably stop in at your place because of all the circulars-)

[@patrickrussell1888]

A day's worth of car driving to Roswell. But the whole West is alien. It might be a closer drive for them to Area 51! 😮 ...and then there's Vegas, Baby, in a league all its own. I still think of the rattlers (we haven't heard to much about them, lately, except they like dog houses!).
