Building Our Own House - TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK

🔥 WATCH OUR OFF GRID CABIN BUILD FROM THE BEGINNING kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3jJppqcqt95gM0

[@juliejohnson9531]

Making progress on the build! I love doing this together and taking time out for fun in the snow! ⛄️

[@msheidiho2004]

Do you have a small guest house in the backyard - for visitors to rent

[@jbprospector3638]

The family that works together, plays together. Will stay together ☺️

[@sidclark3249]

one of the reasons i love your channel is not only because of your building, but because you always seem so happy. Keep Smiling.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Thanks! 😁 So glad you enjoy them.

[@messageblack]

Martin please put up a temporary hand rail on your stairs to the apartment. Every time you guys up the stairs with snow and ice. I’m stressed that someone will fall. Something is better than hitting the cold ground.

[@TheDullMansClub]

One of the reasons I love your channel is that you are very inclusive of your kids in the build, you are teaching them some real life values, more than they'd ever learn at school. When they're grown up & ready to leave house, they will have the skills & knowledge to survive

[@juliejohnson9531]

Thanks! We love it too!

[@MrJapes22]

Best thing is going onto KZbin and having another video from you guys!

[@juliejohnson9531]

Yay! That’s such a nice compliment. Thank you!

[@kennywilliams3780]

Martin and family I enjoy seeing your videos now every day you guys are awesome

[@ricardobalazo7431]

Thanks guys that’s awesome. This will be a challenge

[@chrystaljane2255]

Watching you all have fun in the snow kept me smiling. Especially with Tux joining in :)

[@charleendunn5446]

You have a beautiful family ! I love how you all work together toward a common goal. With all the depressing news on tv, watching families like yours is like a breath of fresh air. Keep smiling and may God continue to bless you !

[@juliejohnson9531]

So thankful for your comment! 💛

[@juliejohnson9531]

Good morning! You too! 😁

Love the sledding!!!

[@willwipf7030]

Mouse problem? peppermint oil and cotton balls works great, also 40 drops in 32 ounces of water spray bottle,I use it in my car and trucks under hood and sprayed it pretty literally in my house and shop it works great for some reason they don't like it,I'm up to three pushups!

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

It was great to see you guys having so much fun in the snow!!!

[@juliejohnson9531]

😁

[@41546able]

You should build a roof over the steps going up to the living area. This will keep the snow off the steps and keep the snow from falling on them and you from the roof above. .

[@loucinci3922]

Looks like fun! Thanks for sharing

[@davidmcleod8598]

Looks like your dog had as much fun as you did in the snow🏂

[@juliejohnson9531]

True!

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

YOU all have LOT"S of experience NOW. I remember in the beginning when you were totally "green" on building anything. I remember when you said I am learning online and "I HAVE THESE BOOKS" which you held up. That cracked me up and that memory is still with me today LOLOL. But YOU know what??? YOU are not GREEN anymore you are a CRAFTSMAN for sure...I mean Look at what you have ALL accomplished here. I remember the tent's you all roughed it through to live in during a cold winter for sure. Totally amazing and God IS Blessing you all...don't forget his own son at one time was a carpenter with his earthly dad Joseph.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Very cool!

[@MrKylebeard]

Push-ups in the snow?! That’s awesome! Love the sledding!

[@philsmock4943]

The sledding was fun to watch. Nice wipe out Martin. Only 29 more days to go.

[@juliejohnson9531]

[@philsmock4943]

@@juliejohnson9531 Would love to Julie but I'm 70 and everything just hurts. I get down on the floor and I'm not sure I'm going to get back up. But I will enjoy and cheer you and your family on. Martin will be the fun one to watch. I'll be watching.

When you insulate the bathroom ceiling, PUT UP A VAPOR BARRIER. It will save you from a lot of grief later. Actually, I would advise vapor barriers on all your ceilings.

[@bigerman123]

I appreciate the daily videos, I love your videos! Hello from Idaho Falls :)

[@juliejohnson9531]

Hi!

[@tracythorn2918]

I watched yesterday's and this video so I did three pushups. Good thing I'm not binge watching at the end of the month!

Wow!! The house is really quiet with insulation!! You Guys had a Blast Sledding!! God Bless and have a Wonderful Day!! 😀⚘❤

[@juliejohnson9531]

[@donlatimer5114]

I think it’s about time to put a roof over the stairway leading up do the upstairs apartment to eliminate Snow and the icy stairway.

[@two.wandering.souls_]

Loving the 1 video every day format 👍

[@Lucky_Trucky]

Every time I see it I wonder why those stairs have to be on the outside in a place where there is ice and snow for months? Make a stairwell over it, you won't regret it!

[@nickkrashefski7180]

[@juliejohnson9531]

😁

[@flyinggyros9745]

Have you thought of extending the roof over the stairway. Rain is one thing. Snow sliding off and on to someone’s head especially if deep could cause an injury. Alan

[@juliejohnson9531]

Yes, so true. That will be our plan. Just not this season. Thanks!

[@evmm.2070]

well... I like it, probably a lot of work making a video every single day, but kkeep it up thanks for the effort Johnsons

[@ComteSt.Germain]

Just a suggestion, It seems like it would be a good idea to put an access door (insulated of course) next to the furnace so that it can be serviced or replaced if needed; without having to remove and refinish sheetrock later down the road.

[@donaldmccracken217]

dont forget about an access to get back to the air handler in the attic for servicing

[@donaldmintmier7224]

Please install a temporary hand rail in the outside steps a few 2x4is much cheaper than broken bones

[@doyeol]

Vlogmas vibe is the best

[@garrymccollum3730]

Great family

[@juliejohnson9531]

Thank you!

[@jansmit4628]

Off grid with Doug & Stacy had their last episode about chickens and eggs in wintertime. How to have eggs without causing health issues for the chickens.

[@louisl.8724]

What about a roof over the staircase to protect from snow/ice/and rain? That way, no one would get hurt from slide off or ice on the stairs.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Great idea for a future project!

The actual r value is about half of that printed on the insulation, there is a lot of thermal bridging, studs, plates etc,

[@stevenm3141]

As a rule of thumb, insulation usually doesn't go on the ceiling until after the sheetrock is on.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

True, unless it is blown in. I would guess.

[@beatricedavids2791]

I really enjoyed your family video today, I laughed with you when you were sleighing...too much fun!!!🤠🤣🤣🤣

[@juliejohnson9531]

Awesome!

[@norrisfrancisco]

The snow on the roof that falls on the deck stairs could pose a danger on somebody going upstairs if accumulated snow suddenly falls in one go. A person can be injured if he’s high up the stairs and snow falls on him/her. Better put some temporary railings on the stairs.

[@philiphoverman8458]

Do you have any special family Christmas traditions that you would like to share with us? Perhaps they might include something that you picked up while living outside of our country.

[@markallisonmc]

Keep Smiling 🙂 Congratulations on finishing the insulation. On to drywall. Couple tips.. If you are looking for drywall tips . Vancouver Carpenter is excellent Vlog. Also staggering your drywall like you do your plywood sheathing. And leave a 1/2 “ small gap between the floor and bottom of drywall panel is best practice to prevent moisture wicking. Less is more when mudding. How is that for unsolicited advice. Our church has a cultural practice of ARP “advice requires permission” but you usually ask for ideas anyway. Blessings stay warm!

You could use metal to match your roof to build a cover over the stairs from the ground to the top in preference to modifying the roof.

[@gjc9801]

I hope you guys are planning on adding some blown-in insulation above there or some more batts above their running the other direction because R30 in your climate seems to be way under on the R value! I would think you should have a minimum of R 48. Cheers

[@ishmaelbuhagiar6]

Hi Martin.. nice idea this thing of the December videos. Wholdn't it be nice if you could include the Laid back Living couple for one of this month's videos? Maybe a small joinet effort project all together. They are also making good progress. Keep it up 😉

Another viewer also mentioned this, catch the video out with Doug and Stacey about wintering your chickens. And hey you guys are doing a great job on the house🥰🍁🍂🍁

[@paulbujarski8270]

You know if you put talcom powder or baby powder on your exposed skin it will close in your pours when you are insulating .you will not itch no redness on your skin and then when your done for the day you can just shower yourself off. It works

[@dwighthires3163]

Great to see you take a little time for play. You have so much to do with building, filming and editing. I'm 72 and very active, (friends say neurotically so) but I don't do exercise so this pushup challenge will be tough. I watched the two days at once so three for the first day. No way I will make the 31 without touching my knees to the floor. Thanks for the challenge.

I'm loving this 1 video a day. This is actually a LOT of fun! Thank you, guys! I do have a question: What size is your electrical system? How many watts of power does the solar produce on average? During the winter I see you run the generator to 99 + 15 min, but how much are you actually using? I see lights, laptops, cameras, power tools, etc. How much capacity do you have, and have you run out before? Thanks, guys! You are all so inspiring to me and my family. We're just a few years behind ya'll. God bless!
