You may not think a woman in her 70’s would be interested in this, but I love your channel! Your family is the the jewel of Green Acres Homestead! Just real hard working people, who we can relate too! And I love your sense of humor Sam!

[@tommiejones1072]

Almost 76 year old woman here, I love this family? They work so hard, they are making the dream. I love to see the boys running and playing on the land.❤️

[@ellenchapman9981]

I’m also past 70 and love Sam and Angela!

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I’m 66 and never miss an episode. I love this family. 😊

[@reannejarvis9464]

73 and totally invested in this family. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️

[@3msannie]

67 and right there with ya!

[@BonnieLeah]

Sam, you and Angelia have worked very hard and nonstop for months, after you have finished this, you guys should take a much deserved and needed break. Thank you for another video. God bless you and your family.

[@maryloushaw6858]

Sam no matter how busy you are you take time to talk and enjoy your boys...your such a good dad and another job well done

[@davexander4142]

The fact that you show your mis-steps and oversights is not only commendable but relatable... many folks get intimidated by taking on projects for fear of failure. You show them it's possible, and even when problems do arise, because Murphy's law, but how you deal with it, and then taking feedback from your viewers, kudos. Outtakes are great too!

[@sam-and-angela]

I appreciate your word of encouragement to keep showing reality! :)

[@maryholsinger9107]

Sam you and Angela are such great parents. You both are examples to others.

[@virginialewis9854]

Sam from the past is pretty dang smart!!!!! I am so happy that you guys have reached the goal of finishing your mobile home! You guys deserve the rest.....thank you for sharing your lives with us!

[@suburbangardenpermaculture3117]

I'm so happy for them to have completed their mobile home too!! Because it gives us hope about completing ours! 😁 we are just completing gutting of a 1980 doublewide we got a few months ago... we're having to go Full Gut And Remodel before we can ever live in it tho 😔. I'd be interested in if you had any critiques on our efforts so far

[@janetbird8171]

Hi, this message is for Sam. I could relate very well to your heel spur issue. I was deli manager for 20 yrs and was on my feet all day at work and also at home afterwards. I had weeks were I was so crippled that I could not work. I had 2 pairs of custom made orthotics made, one for work and one for home. It took a few days to get used to them, but it paid off big time. I probably wore them daily for about 5 years. That was when I was in my 50's. I went on to work many more years and never needed them again.I have always worked jobs that are physically demanding. I am not a sit down kind of girl. I am 72 now and have slowed down, but never quit doing physical work. So , just sayin', a real good pair of orthotics is worth way more than all the physio available. They are pricey, but worth every cent. you can't work if you can't walk. I hope you find the right thing for you, I am just sharing my experience. God Bless you, Angela and the boys. I love your videos.

[@mamabearandcubs7701]

You have literally brightened my day with this video….you are a natural presenter! You are a great dad, the boys seem to love being around you. Hoping your foot discomfort has eased a little? A lovely family. Take care x 🐻🇬🇧🙏🏼

[@dorisezell4413]

Love how your baby is enjoying being your little helper😍

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

Best line ever... "Livin' the drywall dream" 👏🤣🤣🤣💙

[@dhanakhei9911]

Isaac has grown so much since moving and Elijah has too ! They are so cute !

[@charlene5461]

When you smashed that corner up I recalled my favorite saying, "putty and paint make me the GREAT carpenter I ain't"!🤦🤣 So happy to see another video of y'all's! The boys are growing up way too fast!! And they are so adorable!!

[@paulalindsey818]

One of the reasons I love watching you and your family is because I DO love watching you in construction mode. I love watching a plan come together.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

That was challenging! I love how your working, tight quarters, yet you let your son hang out, and even take time with him. I think that's awesome. Plus you have the best sense of humor I've seen in awhile. LOL It looks good though.

[@TennValleyGal]

I love Isaac and his running commentary. Watching this vid was lots of fun. Thanks, y'all. And, Sam, I praying for a pair of boots that help prevent the foot problems.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

Sam, one thing I learned a long time ago. If you screw a piece of scrap drywall to the ceiling, and measure off of that to get the height of the wall, it gives you a ridge to put the ceiling sheet on, so you are only holding the weight of a half sheet rather than a whole sheet, and leaves tight corners making finishing easier.

[@Rt777-55]

What a great advice! Thanks

[@jafleetwood9714]

GREAT tip, I will be using this!

[@ChristinaWelch]

your channel is so much fun to watch. You really work your tail off. I also have plantar fasciitis. Hurts like hell, I walk like a 150 year old woman...ugh. I can never go barefoot or it acts up. New Balance and Skechers sneakers have saved me from some painful days. Lots of support. And yes, you need work boots, slamming drywall on your foot is not good........lol Keep on trucking, you'll be done with this building before you know it and then...... take a freaking break. I wouldn't mind see you relax in some videos and shoot the scoop. take care!

[@jackfisher3906]

Sam you should always hang ceiling drywall first and then walls, which help to hold drywall tight to ceiling.

[@619DioFan]

I like the idea of the wood slats on the ceiling , will break up the plain look as well as making it easy to hang lights and other things.

[@d.j.robinson9424]

Love all your projects Sam and Angela, really hope some of those work boots, make it more better for you. 👍👍🙏💚

[@vanessapage8863]

Sam I am so proud of you. The shed looks so much better with the dry wall. Now let that foot heal.

[@lindaleach7954]

The dry wall already makes the space look so much better. You had to put in 3 times the work to get the job done...move things...drywall...move things back. I'm sure you will be thankful when all of the job is finished.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I would have loved to see you playing with the boys with those new bows and arrows. Please put some of these little play times into your videos. I really enjoy seeing your family and while the work is interesting it’s still great to see some play time too.

[@robincoe2046]

Your helper has the best giggle ever

[@RJ-lx7lz]

Had a long history of the same foot issues. I ended up having to have surgery to take a heel spur off that was tearing my Achilles’ tendon. The recovery is very long. Wheelchair, then crutches, then physical therapy. Total time around 6 months. Do whatever you need to do you’re not down that long. Feet issues are no joke. Praying for you

[@ClintonCaraway-CNC]

MR. 5/8" is what my dad called it. Anything that is that hard on you deserves RESPECT!!

[@lechatbotte.]

I want the feral’s job riding on the scaffolding. Lol the children are so precious

[@janetkoball44]

Yes, we miss Angela. She is an important part of building too. But she can't be in 2 places at once. I'm looking into getting a few of her soaps. We all enjoy the boys helping too. I love the dry wall project. Looking so nice. See you all on the next one, from Central Oklahoma

[@emilygarris1971]

Sam & Angela, there are a few channels I watch that honestly makes me smile while I’m watching. Yours happen to be one of them. From one North Carolinian to a former North Carolinian, y’all are awesome! Also, the music you played at the beginning is so hilarious. I love it. God Bless you guys!! Your family is precious!

[@chuckwashburn7587]

Hey there Sam …… You are just an AWESOME Guy! Love your background music! I totally enjoy how you figure out your “issues” as they (sort of ) tumble towards you from time to time! And, cannot forget your moral support from your little helper/observer! Noticed he was making great suggestions as you moved shelving around! Sam… You sure have a “neat” creative way in how you accomplish your tasks! ……… Again, as I said in the beginning of this message …… “You are sure an AWSOME Guy/Parent and a Great Father 👍.” God Bless Always!! 🙏🏻🤠🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@margiechansler7988]

Sam, I have the same foot issues, I’ve found that freezing a 2 litter/ 20 oz bottle full of water and rolling my foot/heel while watching TV has been a big help. Be sure and stretch your foot as you are rolling it and before you get out of bed in the mornings. Good luck !

[@heatheryoung9949]

I’m so happy your financially able to get to do all your improvements to your property!

[@karencary3312]

You are my hero for completing an awful, pain in the butt, job. It makes it worse when you don't like a job. I don't know anyone who likes drywall. You will sleep good tonight knowing that is behind you. Love you guys. Treat yourself to something nice. If it was me, I'd get a banana split. Stay safe.

[@charlene5461]

🍔🍟🍨lol! Cheeseburger, fries AND A BANANA SPLIT!!! 🤗

[@davidolson5761]

Hi Sam. Let me share with you my successful recovery from painful heel spurs and plantar fasciitis. First, my primary care doctor gave me some heel inserts for shoes. These seemed to spread my weight over a larger area of heel. Then, I figured out on my own that I could reduce three pain further by putting less weight on my heel and more on the ball of my foot. This required a conscious effort for some time. Eventually it became a subconscious rebalance of weight distribution on my foot. This all happened several years ago. Now I no longer need the heel inserts and all of my pain is gone. Hopefully a similar approach might help you get near-term relief and ultimately long term. I thoroughly enjoy watching both of your KZbin channels, including the family experiences. Good luck on your self heeling of your foot pain. Cheers!!! Dave

[@brendastephens5923]

Praying your foot gets better. Give yourself grace on this project. Love you guys.

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

"Negative fun...." I love it. Gonna borrow that and keep it around for future use.

[@SAtoUSAgirl]

Sam, your perseverance is just awesome. I am so sorry for the struggle and your plantar pain. I pray for healing. You are still a major inspiration.

[@carolynhostetler8641]

So proud of you for finishing you’re not so fun drywall job. You know you would never be totally happy with it unfinished. You guys are amazing.

[@glennanderson8783]

Sam next time you see that other Sam you kept mentioning that I think you both did a great job on that dry wall.

[@Ed_Shaw]

Thank you Sam for the video. Congratulations, you did a fabulous job. I'm sure you must be feeling really satisfied with yourself and have a sense of achievement now that the job is done. It certainly reflects much more light into the storage/studio area now. Hope your foot/feet gets better soon.

[@MsJWheels]

Hope you're feeling better soon.

[@jimdelong949]

Hi Sam Yep, normally drywalling is more boring than watching paint dry. But, in this case you involved Sam. Which takes drywalling to a whole new level. I've never been able to watch him do anything without laughing my head off 😂🤣( not literally having my head fall off) So again we've been presented with another funny and informative video. I would give Sam all the credit for the funny part of the video but we got to see Angela and one of the boys (Sorry can't remember which one is which) put in a few fun parts of their own. So, I guess what I'm trying to say Sam, is this was another great GAH video. Wishing you the best as always. Stay blessed and safe. Hope you find something that works for your foot ailments. They say that stuff can be a pain.

[@coffeefortwosolly]

A huge improvement…you will love past Sam for doing this! I could feel your pain…emotional and I sympathise for you foot pain! 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

[@suburbangardenpermaculture3117]

1x4 boards between the roof rafters as backer boards every so often would keep them from sagging. That 24" spacing is what got ya

[@stellamorrissette3408]

I am 77 Cher H. And love to see the family work together.

[@131dyana]

I have bone spurs on my heels too. I had to have insert from the store for awhile then I just bought bigger shoes and that saved the day for me. the bone spurs do not hurt any more. You did a lot of hard work but just think it is over and the building can be heated and cooled easier. God bless you.

[@roxanneboscobel]

My yoga teacher taught me these exercises and both I and my best friend used them to cure our plantar fasciitis! Do this every time you take off your shoes or put them back on or when you’re sitting around on the couch or recliner at the end of the day. Do this to each foot: 1) putting your foot up on the other knee, grab your ankle in one hand and use the other hand to move your foot around in circles, at least five or six times in one direction then five or six times in the other direction; 2) then pull down on your toes to stretch the top of your foot and push up on your toes to stretch the bottom of your foot - do that five or six times in each direction, pushing really hard to stretch it well; 3) grab your foot with both hands near the ball of your foot and use your fingers and hand strength to move the bones up and down (for example, while pushing the bones for your big toe down, push the bones for your second toe up), continue this across the foot, pushing the bones for one toe as you push the bones for the next toe (you are stretching the tendons between the foot bones); 4) turn your foot inward slightly and hold the ball of your foot with your thumbs on the bottom of your foot, dig your thumbs into the tendons that run along the bottom of your foot moving from your arch to your toes (you are actively massaging the tendons that run from your toes to your Achilles heel), do this as hard as you can; 5) grab each of your toes individually and twist as you pull them straight out away from your foot (you’re stretching the tendons in your toes). That’s it. If you’ll do this several times a day (at least four or five) while you’re trying to heal, it will ease the inflammation in your tendons and they will heal. Once they have healed, if you do this once or twice a day, your tendons will remain healthy. This process is free, requires no medication or surgery, and really works!! GOOD LUCK!!!! PS LOVE your channel!!

[@mikestiner3995]

Sam, I had plantar fasciitis and told my doctor about it. He told me to get a pair of Walk Fit arch supports and they worked. In fact, he took his shoe off and he was wearing a pair. You'll hate them when you first wear them but you'll quickly get used to them. They really worked well for me. Good luck.

[@yolandatorres1015]

Hi Sam, please take care of that foot. I really enjoy your videos. The shed is looking amazing. 😊

[@janedewarray3970]

When you mentioned putting up boards on your ceilings, that you could hang lights from, I instantly thought of Angela hanging up flowers to dry for her soap making.. maybe she can grow some lavender or something.

[@ChristianandFamily]

Hence why you always do at least a "garage tape" job Sam. Single coat on the tape, because tape and putty (joint compound) hide a lot of really bad joints.

[@donnadunlop]

That drywalling on the walls you just did blows me away, I have never seen so many cuts for that back area. I have tried to figure out some of it but the other cuts i could not configure in my pea brain. Well done, you have so much patience. Sorry about the bone spur and faucitis, my hubby has it and eventually with physio and the proper footwear he rarely has a flair up. His secret weapon was lots of padding in his shoes, shoes indoors and out at all times and learning when to stop before he aggravates it.

[@jgivens1227]

Sorry about the foot. The pain can bring you to your knees real fast. Glad the drywall is up. Please take care and be safe

[@kscheuerman5378]

Sam, I am so happy for you that you decided to do the drywall right now. Good job!! I know it was a tough go, but I am proud of your perseverance!!!

[@karlab9557]

What a delightful video. Loved seeing the boys and their bows, and Sam taking time off from the "boring stuff" which I also enjoy watching. Isaac and his thoughts. And real life. And funny stuff. And Angela coming to encourage and help. Great video. Great job pushing through to get er done!

[@partsdave8943]

If you had thought about it, you could’ve taken one piece of drywall, cut it only on one side, and had a seamless peak on the ceiling. 😀 Also told you that you’d like the 8 ft bed. It’s not as easy to park but handy when needed.

[@dawgski690]

I’ve learned a lot from you guys… thank you Everyone needs good, (and intelligent), people like you in their lives.

[@Hollybank5]

Sam -/ you powered through !!!! ❤ Angela : note to self : when Sam is tired - YOU get dinner out 🎉!!!! 😂

[@hollypinkleygriggs7827]

Sam, 20 years ago I too suffered with heel spurs. I actually told my chiropractor about them and he used ultra sound a couple of times on them. I haven’t had a problem since!

[@robakagyser2300]

Sam, I hope things get better with your feet! I have some similar issues with my feet and ankles also, I understand the pain! Pray that you will be healed! God bless you and your family always! AMEN

[@amma3536]

Take the time you need to heal, Sam. It will be there when you’re ready. Take care and be blessed.

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

Your supervisor is the cutest 😍 💕Sam you are trimming up,looking good ,

[@brendapenner689]

You have two of the sweetest children on the planet! That's because they get it from their parents.🥰 I know I'm not alone, when I say I wish you all nothing but the very best of everything! There are lots of us rooting you on, and want you to succeed! ♥️🙏

[@mlm7598]

Things are looking great! Love that you decided to sheetrock all the workshop. I think it will feel much more completed and you will be happier with a finished look!! Looks Great! I feel your pain, as I have suffered with it til I was in tears. Standing for long periods of time and on concrete in a warehouse printing t-shirts is the first time I ever experienced it but I tell you it totally can take you down. It is a pain I can't even explain except walking with knives stabbing in your heels relentlessly. It is real for sure! Rest and kick those feet up and gentle as you do when you have to walk. It's for sure no joke. Sorry you are dealing with it. I even had to resort sitting on a stool to work just to get the pressure off my feet. You sure don't want surgery!!! Blessings

[@triciaramirez1886]

Living the drywall dream! And that look so much better than government work! Sorry about the heal spur, they are no fun! ❤️⚓️❤️

[@ladonnawoodley5279]

Thank you for explaining why you shouldn't use the thicker stuff on the ceiling...I had no idea but it makes sense the way you explained it.

[@tommiejones1072]

Sam you have such patience, all the obstacles you had to deal with. Great job!

[@3msannie]

Aww Sam sorry you are under the weather. Hope you heal up real quick! Way to perservere on the drywall! It's a heavy and tedious job but you are getting there!

[@desertgal_5042]

Never apologize for real life. Just that you are willing to share your life is amazing. Your journey with the real issues makes us feel normal. We have made those same mistakes 😂😂😂. Having lived with plantar fasciitis, the inserts will change your life. Well worth the money for custom fit orthotics. I know your pain. Angela I would love to watch you make soap 🥰🥰

[@leattaslone1800]

You both do a great job at what ever you’re doing! I love watching your videos!Momma said there will be days like that! ❤

[@Riversbend710]

The new drywall looks great. Nice reinforcement of the shelving. Now when filming you will not have to be so conscious of where the drywall ends.

[@jerryzimmerman5057]

You need the blue insoles from Foot Smart. They fixed the plantar fascitis for me that the doctor failed to remedy.

[@carolynhostetler8641]

That sped up music was hilarious!

[@carolweyandt2925]

Going to look great Sam, the boys are so cute. Stay safe and God bless

[@rosekraemer8205]

You have patience hope you feel better soon. I Enjoy your video's

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and getting the drywall done

[@denisewilson8367]

Cool bows & arrows boys. 🏹 I would like to join your fun with them. Sam you know that the walls look better and if you didn't do it all now it would never be done. But they look great now.

[@Terry_1111]

Sam, I really enjoyed this video. Honestly, I'm always amazed by how much I learn just watching you. Sheetrock is never fun and I'm sorry you're going through the pain with your foot. I had similar issues a long time ago and nothing but rest, ice buckets several times a day, and high dosages of Ibuprofen helped. Your body is telling you to rest. Take care. Blessings to all of you.

[@brendahaire8824]

Hope you foot gets better Sam. Prayers for healing.

[@sharonaxelrod4608]

I am glad you finished it. However, I am very sorry that you reinjured yourself doing this. Always happy to see you, Angela and the boys. Blessings. 🥰

[@patricianieto4396]

Great job Sam!! Sorry to hear about ur foot, I know about that pain ive experienced it myself. Hoping you get better!👍

[@IndianaNana1]

I understand plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendon. I have the same issues. walking is an issue when it's flared up. glad you are taking care of yourself. that's the key! love your channel. You, your wife, and your family are precious.

[@rubberdc]

I DID wonder about that gap in the drywall, but reckoned ( before you told us ) that you would have some other plan for it , perhaps and outside light with cable inside ....

[@debbydrach]

Your videos are so good, and I so much appreciate you sharing them, you both have worked so hard and it’s very impressive! I also have suffered with heel spurs, and I can’t imagine the pain 😮 take your time, we, as viewers, will still be here, love your channel and your family 👏👏

[@ellythompson4055]

Sam, did all that crud with heel spurs, I said enough is enough, had surgery to remove those spurs. Surgery was a snap and had both feet done 3 weeks apart. I did this with my sons same age as yours. Give it some thought Sam, it was worth it and 30 some years later, no problems. Great job on the drywall!!!! You guys are the best!!!

[@abbyd323]

Your son makes a good supervisor 😂Both your boys are great💙💙

[@ggmax2958]

So happy you have gotten the yucky sheet rock job done. Also sorry for your painful foot problem! I have had some of this and know it can be really painful! Will pray for a rapid healing🙏

[@stellamorrissette3408]

You are right Sam with the wooden slats

[@danielheartsill4269]

Go ahead and put the strips on the ceiling now because if it starts to sag the strips will be much harder to install. I know, been there and did that.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Drywall makes a big difference great job Sam! I no it's a pain in the butt! But worth it! Always Enjoyed watching what ever your doing! Sending prayers for you to get well soon!

[@sbkhider]

Putting the wood slats up on the ceiling may actually look cool. Paint them a different color or have them wood tone and the ceiling white I think will give it a mini beam kinda look.

[@ellenchapman9981]

You all work so well together!! Sorry about your foot! Hope the new boots help!! Isaac is adorable!
