Building a Massive 30'x60' Greenhouse | Trenching Ground Posts + Framework

[@jodivanzant9376]

I love how you both work together to get a job done. You are respectful of each other, show patience, and help each other without having to be asked. It is a joy a couple like to work together.

[@kildee0170]

Guys I miss watching you cook with your garden veggies, I'm 70 and I've never had a garden look as good as yours....you make me wish I was young again, and lived in Alaska...❤

[@Melina.K.]

I feel the same way.

[@SamSung-ww3rp]

I know, right?!

[@faithwalker5196]

I wonder if they always eat standing up or if they ever sit down. 🥰

[@Tusna44]

I agree.. where are the bugs eating everything and Powdery Mildew!! With their love and expertise, they've created a food paradise!!

[@ambersherry4869]

I watch in the hopes to learn how to do better... I really need to figure out fertilizer!

[@vernareed2692]

when I think about the huge quanset building,now the big greenhouse, AND your huge garden with raised beds and large fencing you have built this year WOW!! What an accomplishment, and just you two!! So amazing!! That's in addition to your other regular chores!! I never tire of watching Bandit! Love that dog 😊!!

[@mcohen8025]

Yeah I hope they rest for like six months straight, once the season turns... this pace is too much!

Aloha. Much better than I!

[@diannebayley4644]

I rarely envy people - but, boy, would I love to have a partnership like yours. The adventures, hard work, cooking and sharing meals and tasks is just magnificent to see. Looking forward to the greenhouse.

[@suziesteube1332]

Well said!

[@carolynlineberger1929]

Teamwork at its finest! Your KZbin channel should be tutorials for all your homesteading projects! Many homesteading KZbinrs should watch and learn! Great work, guys!!

[@brendagill1865]

I was glad to see you set up a pool with rocks for Bandit. You could tell he was happy. I bet you two are really enjoying your fresh produce again. It looks so vibrant.

[@ASacredClown]

You guys are machines! Its amazing what you two can do in such a short amount of time.

[@susanapplegate9758]

They really are - and a fantastic example of the Frontier spirit we so admire up here. EVERYONE that I try to share with tells me they already follow.Very famous folks up ….but don’t tell them! ;)

[@bladedemissary]

Thank you both for being so inspirational in how to work together. I've been watching and learning better communication techniques, and a show of support for each other which my husband and I have been integrating into our marriage. We've been together for 11 years and we always struggled with our communications and listening. An occasional "that's a good idea" or "that looks great" and having the patience to hear each other out and/or try something the way the other person wants to try it has truly been life changing for us. I just wanted you to know that watching isn't only entertainment and enjoying beautiful scenery of your home, but making a difference in relationships from your example too. From my heart to yours - sincerely - I thank you!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

Wow that is very meaningful to us, we have been together for about 17 years and also have struggles. I think relationships take constant desire to grow as a human and truly understanding ourselves so we can be a loving partner. Definitely easier said then done. Take care ❤ thank you for watching.

Superman and Superwoman build a greenhouse,easy peasy!

10 ft in the air holding a frame oh hey look a chicken in the garden howd that happen i almost spit my water out laughing idk why but that got me haha

[@coventrywildeheart7108]

I reacted the same. I thought Ariel was going to comment on the amazing vista that could be seen from that height. When she commented on the chicken, it cracked me up laughing.

[@SamSung-fp2vj]

... We never had the answer either, how did the chicken find it's way in?

[@nomorehate9176]

I swear! You did all that hard hard work on the shop then immediately switched gears to building the greenhouse while the insulation was going in on the shop!! You're absolutely AMAZING!!!

I garden in the summers, have a CSA with local farms and orchards, occasionally buy fish, lobster, or clams when I'm at the coast, occasionally buy wild game meat from a local shop, and hike the trails of NH. At my age that's as good as it gets!

On a lighter note, my husband put up a new ceiling fan today. 😂😂 I swear I don't know how you two do all that you do. You guys are amazing!! ❤❤

[@gailvicente6854]

Not bad. I was quoted $70 for a new driver's side sun visor plus $166 labour (or was it $166 for the part and $70 for the labour??) But, in any event, I bought a visor off Amazon for $46 and installed it myself!! My husband was very impressed!

[@ItsMeWendyvee]

I know what you mean :) I changed a doorknob in my hallway the other night and I felt like an absolute BOSS ... until I thought about all of the things that Eric and Arielle do in a SINGLE DAY :) :)

[@shellybielawski1773]

Y’all work harder on a daily basis at your place than people do on a 9 to 5 job and you always make sure that you’re doing a perfect job, with you doing this all of your projects should last a lifetime. The 2 of you are just super talented and amazing, and you still make time to make a delicious meal. Can’t wait to see the finished building. You deserve a break after this for sure. Y’all ROCK! Love ❤y’all!

[@taravoda2338]

PLEASE, learn from my mistake. Develop a seasonal rainwater catchment system to water your garden. Keep your well water for your personal use.

[@susanapplegate9758]

So much rain here…and so much snow. But catching rain not a bad addition!

[@athomewithjenny]

This is pretty solid advice ❤

[@boyetsotelo9235]

This is a wise suggestion. 👌👍 Just one earthquake can re-configure their water table too

[@uskitin]

To further this comment, make sure you have an overflow system in place too or else you'll have a soggy quonset floor! Wish I had a better overflow in pl😊ace!

[@puirYorick]

Wow. Gardens grow amazingly fast up in Alaska.

[@susanapplegate9758]

The number of summer days is shockingly short, but man it’s made up by the number of hours in a day!

[@martjebicker9168]

Whoa, I didn't even think of that, but it makes sense that the big fast growth d/t all the sun time! I do not have a green thumb at ALL!

You guys never do anything on a small scale, everything on this property has been mega. Always finding a solution to any challenges and fixing errors. This green house has been like putting a meccano kit together with no instructions, well done.

Your patience must be endless. I can't even assemble an IKEA shelf without raging and/or crying. You have my undying respect. Can't wait for the next growing season with that magnificent greenhouse.

what a wonderful way to start my weekend!!! My two favorite Alaskans!!!

[@susanapplegate9758]

Mine too. And I’ve been here going on 55 years. They are much admired.

[@the-reading-lemon]

One day I'm going to be patient and go to bed instead of watching your videos, but today was not that day. I happened to see it 19 seconds(!) after you uploaded, so I really had no choice. The greenhouse is looking incredible - I have no concept of imperial units of measure, so 60 feet tells me nothing, but seeing those long lines of posts and how far apart they were really drove home how HUGE this thing is going to be. You're going to be able to have a garden only every two years with all the food you can grow there! Excited to see it all come together.

A midsummer night’s frost. Shakespeare meets Alaska!

[@kathyalexander6994]

One of the best tricks I have learned to stop frost damage is to spray all the plants before the sun sets with water and then again early in the morning. The water protects the plants and any frost damage is minimal, if any at all. It also saves the plants from damage caused by covering them

[@meme7591]

Back in The Day My grandmother used to put sheets over the plants to help protect them from freeze
