THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING // CONCRETE TINY HOUSE

[@lorchid23]

James really is an incredible friend and neighbor to have. What a stroke of luck to have him as a mentor and teacher during this period in your lives.

[@24barron]

We tend to think there’s something going on beyond luck that brought us all together. 😉

[@angelaward3843]

He's a Silver fox !! His wife is a lucky lady!!!!

[@lorchid23]

@@24barron - Funny you should say that, because after I posted my comment, I regretted using the word “luck” and wished I had instead used the word “blessing”. I believe we receive what we put-out into the universe. 🙂🙃 Hope you had a gritty, dusty, but *fantastic* birthday, Barron!

[@sandracimonetti5307]

My grandmother had a washing machine like Doreen’s . Just have to be careful and not get your arm caught in the wringer as you are feeding the clothes through. My cousin did that. Your house is amazing. And yes, James is a treasure.

[@cj8947]

@@angelaward3843Agreed, but Doreen is a silver fox too! And a lovely lady from what I have seen. Elsa and Barron are so blessed to have them both!!

[@mamapetecooley7324]

Happy Birthday, Barron! James and Dorene are such lovely people. What a gift! Spectacular episode.

[@lavendertownvip1908]

I am so excited to watch these videos every upload. Between the lifestyle, building, and elsa's editing, and of course you guys being so chill in this world of chaos, these videos are amazing.

[@ElsaRhae]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@cherrybombb_]

Yes! Love the combination of all these things ❤

[@glenysperry3421]

Building your own home must be so stressful and rewarding at the same time. James's knowledge and enthusiasm is such a blessing. Happy Birthday Baron.

[@ElsaRhae]

You know, it was more stressful before building the house than during. The anticipation and anxiety of the unknown ate at me a lot! Now the pressure comes from winter’s approach. We’re really having a lot of fun building our little house!!

[@kimvanderlaan3736]

James reminds me so much of my Dad (who was also James) he passed away few Months ago. He was a builder and would draw the plans for so many homes, then build them. He loved helping people and sharing his skills. Your friendship is so nice to watch. Kindness is important in these times. I hope this home brings you years of comfort and memories. I love your videos.

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

I really love that you want to do your laundry in such a green way. It looks exhausting to me, however, I'm not young like you but that will keep you young! It seems that I am always finding a stray and it usually works out that I find the owner, but this last one stayed and I loved that dog so very much. He had an intuition like a human. We just had to help him cross the rainbow bridge and I miss him so much. I still have my sweet pittie and she will be traveling with me when my van build is finished. I absolutely love the way your home is coming together and I have a feeling you will have such a feeling of fulfillment that it will be indescribable. Those logs are the piece de la resistance in the finished product. Then again, who knows what other amazing things you will be doing in this build? The sky is the limit! The team work is amazing guys! Take good care everyone and Happy Belated Birthday Barron! Peace!

[@hollamonE]

Camp is a great supervisor. His engineering skills are on point. ;)

[@tortillasarenotbiceps7622]

First - Happy Birthday to our brother, Barron. Second - James is the most indispensable friend a person could have. Third - Elsa is learning so much from this house build. Fourth - I'm so excited for you guys.

[@jessworld86301]

Honestly, I rarely comment on the videos I watch, but I wanted to let you know something. Ive been watching you guys for years, and without fail, I am enamored by the cinematography and the editting of your videos. Every time, I know I will be lured into a hyper-relaxed state of being for those few minutes a day. You both have such beautiful souls - and I thank you for sharing just a piece of yourselves with us in this chaotic world. Happy Birthday Barron! Many more happy and healthy years to you and your lovely Elsa

[@christinecasselberry5060]

Was this legit?you got one to.

[@mandaleemilly6367]

James and Doreen are meant for each other. They seem like very special people. Hope you had a great Birthday Barron 🎉.

[@jenlewterants4557]

I’ve never been so excited for something that has absolutely nothing to do with me before. The house is so beautiful already!

[@ElsaRhae]

Thank you, Jen!!

[@marydouglas6136]

Happy Birthday Barron. The washer brings back many memories.

[@amberborroz6112]

Totally got tears in my eyes when you climbed up that ladder to your 2nd floor. You both must be feeling so proud of yourselves and so excited and hopeful for what’s to come. I know I’m a stranger, but damn am I proud of you guys! Happy birthday Barron!! You were born for this moment and for your beautiful love Elsa ❤

[@Chickmamapalletfarm]

I had a similar system for laundry as Dorene for about 5 years. I got this system after a 2nd or 3rd washing machine broke. It really made me mad that things are made so poorly. I begged my husband to let me get an old fashioned system. It was a wash tub I got from lowes with a built in washboard in the front of it. Then I attached a hand crank Amish wringer from Lehmann’s. The wringer was very heavy so I had to build a wooden frame around the wash tub in order to support the weight of the wringer. I did the wash and rinse in the same tub, draining the water between wash load and rinse load. wringing both into a large plastic tote. I loved doing laundry this way. It was satisfying and rewarding. You could probably build something to set in your bathtub that would work quite well. 🙏🙏🙏

[@ConnieA1262]

LOL............My grandmother did her laundry this way and SURELY, my great grandmother. I used to stand there and watch, eating their home made snacks while they babysat us while my parents worked. I am old..............

[@shirlymullis1699]

True Value Hardware has the part of the washer with the rollers and crank that hooks onto a bucket that can removed from bucket for storage.

[@Flyfishtherockies]

Watching good people accomplish their goals through hard work is inspiring! Good job guys!

[@donnajess]

I can't tell you how very much I've enjoyed watching your vlogs about living in the scamp and now building your home! Thank you for sharing with us! Happy birthday Barron!

[@tobyandI]

Woof! “Friends are the bestest!”🐶

[@megans.5729]

We live in a concrete block home that was built in 1952, only 1100 sq ft. They are such underrated houses. Literally living in an above ground basement. Not much has shifted either after literally 70 years. So smart guys 😊

[@debyarger3084]

I love seeing your little community come together to help you build your dream home. James is incredible as he works and teaches along the way. Happy 34th Birthday Barron. May you be blessed with many more!!!

[@Minetoday14]

What a blessing to have James and Norean as neighbors and friends..

[@lindadavis3728]

The view out the window was well thought out and gorgeous. What an amazing achievement. You both are so adventurous and industrious. This experience has to be way up there on your satisfaction of lifes experiences. James is a treasure.

[@christinecasselberry5060]

Was this lagit,from them?

[@TheFeelButton]

Happy Birthday Barron! Great progress on the home!!

[@eamoss71]

Happy Birthday, Barron! It is so amazing to see the growth you two made in your journey. This is straight up evolutionary! And your experience building your home is definitely exceptional. I paid a contractor to work on my (former) home, and it was not particularly fun. I definitely did not hug my contractor. The community aspect of your evolution is especially wonderful and something I hope to find as well. Take care and keep up the good work!

[@EngGuy63]

Good to see men appreciated for being... manly)) happy birthday Baron, good to see folk in touch with their environment and surroundings, as well as those around them, and not glued to a screen 24/7... amazing what we can accomplish when we put our heart soul and passion into the every day!!

[@judeevolves3347]

So proud of you guys. So I inspired! Little Kamp laying there supervising covered in sawdust is priceless. I have pictures of my dog hanging around bored while I built my house. Those pics are so precious to me as she has passed and is burried under a plum tree in my front yard. These memories will last a lifetime. 💞💗💞💗

1st and foremost big shout out to James. Everybody needs a James and Doreen as neighbors. 2nd I can finally see the house sketches don't work in my mind and finally Happy Birthday Barron 🎉

[@SBUTLER3]

Beyond amazing what you guys are doing. What a blessing James & his wife are.

[@CC-kr2fs]

this is a lot of hard work and is very tiring. BUT, when its all done and your sitting inside looking out as you recover, imagine how good your going to feel. That is what makes it all worth while. Great job, and it helps to have friends like James.

[@terrahmama]

Happy Birthday Barron! 🎂 You all are doing amazing work. James is like the energizer bunny!

[@TeresaLibrary]

The views from your home are going to make you so happy every day. Thank you for making the dog story brief so we wouldn’t all worry!😂🤣

[@WoodWizard13]

There are a few videos on YT showing how you can make a wringer using two cheap and/or old rolling pins. I've been washing my clothes by hand in a bathtub for nearly a year now. You use any kind of container, water, soap, let them soak, agitate periodically if your clothes are really dirty, then rinse. One thing that can make this easier is using a new dedicated plunger to agitate (people sell these in kits now, but it's just a plunger). The plunger will actually push and pull water through the clothing fibers. You'll have to find the best method for your needs, there are dozens of videos and blog posts about washing clothes without a machine.

[@karengraves3900]

Windows - holy crap - it's getting really real!!!!! Loving watching it all come together. You are doing amazing. Happy Birthday Barron!

[@larrettamullen4023]

It's obvious that James is having the time of his life! He's absolutely loving doing this for/with the two of you, and once your house is done, he'll need to find another "passion project". Go, James!! May all of you stay safe and build happy.

[@jlgraham5606]

Happy Birthday Barron! James, Camp seems to be a perfectionist at looking cool while lying around the construction site.

[@HelenBeeee]

Watching the friendships grow is magical and an honour Being nearly 60 myself you come to see knowledge and experience as a weight. It has no meaning unless it’s used and you can’t use it yourself all the time and so the weight of it gets heavier the only practical thing is to share it transfer it to others and with it the weight is lighter the sharing rewarding and it makes room for new things to come onboard. I see all of this and more in these videos. Thanks for sharing and happy birthday Baron you’re a legend 👍

[@dantoddruns]

Framing that rock formation in the window was not random and I love it.

Hi Guys….. I’ve watched several (not all) of your videos over the years and with this build am watching them all now.
