The beams! The fireplace! The pantry! The barn doors! Definitely seems like this house was worth the wait.

[@fsoileau]

The number one list item to building the perfect home is a loving happy family, where a one room log cabin can be "that perfect place" .That said we can "check that box off for the happy family" . It's the "Kitchen Pantry" connected to the garage I find an outstanding idea. I would bet it took 10 years and hundreds of trips lugging groceries though the house to come up with that idea and a good one it is.

[@mylouisianahome9751]

Congratulations on your new home! It's beautiful. You are going to have so much fun decorating and figuring out where things go.

[@CynthiaMUrban]

Christmas tree in front of the french doors...

[@jessieely5363]

Cynthia M. Urban I agree!

[@LadiesofPurposeTV]

Yesss totally🙌🏼👏🏻. I can picture the Christmas lights reflecting off of the glass doors, so pretty!!!!!

[@runusarkar5157]

So so adorable family ❤️God Bless your family ❤️ lot of love from India ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cpr6760]

I love, love, love your home! Yes, I said home, not house, because I believe a house is just a building where people live without caring or being invested, but a home is a place full of love, caring and sharing! THIS is a HOME!

[@MeAndMollyMoo]

It’s beautiful! So carefully planned out, a perfect family home. You must be so proud. Thanks for the tour.

[@Lyn4817]

You have done a wonderful job designing and building your home? It is truly awesome. Simply love all your power outlets and light switches as well as the nest. There is nothing I don't like or would change. For six people, the footprint is brilliant, you will all be able find space for contemplation instead of being on top of each other. I sincerely hope you will both have many, many years to enjoy your gorgeous home, watching your children grow and transition through the various stages of their lives and welcoming their families.

[@colonelswife5837]

Love love love your new home!!!! You guys have worked so hard getting it completed. Well deserved! I think the tree should go by the door. Perfect spot!

[@CynthiaMUrban]

Love the fireplace unpainted...Good choice....God bless your family....

[@KarenHoyt-Bonkahoney3]

Their fireplace has the same colors in it that our fireplace does and I love it!

[@jamiehomrich1797]

Your home looks AMAZING! I love the idea of the fireplace being able to warm up your whole house and not just the living room. Christmas tree option #2!

[@sarahcoffin3265]

What a beautiful home. You have been a blessing to many people. I have no doubt that God with continue to do great things through your family and the hospitality​ desire that He has placed on your hearts. Love how open and light your new home is. Perfect for our dark winters.

[@desibrenton614]

So cool to see your house completed in time for the holidays. It’s looks amazing💕🏡

[@leaahpitkaa776]

Thank you for letting us follow you guys around too! Love your videos so incredibly much & your family 💕

[@Soccerroxz10]

Such a beautiful home! You guys worked so hard and it paid off! Awesome job!!!

[@kathylaw4750]

Very nice new home real home is the laughter in your home with the kids running around playing

[@kelleycoleman3056]

Congrats to you on your new house. I enjoy your blogs and the kids.

[@grandcatsmama3421]

You have a beautiful home! My late husband and I had people staying with us in our apartment. He was a rescuer, he wanted to start a shelter, to help people. We never had the money, we rescued cats instead. They were much cheaper to rescue. People don't always want to help you financially even though you feed them. I hope you can help people who will appreciate your help. Love, hugs and kitty kisses. (That's when they touch noses.)

[@alyssatifverman1257]

I started watching your family vlogs back in 2015. Although I have been super busy with school, it is AMAZING to see how much your channel has grown over the past few years and that you finally moved into your dream home!

[@denisedillow5721]

Absolutely beautiful home and family...my dream!

[@Pankakesvswaffles]

Cute! One thing if you flipped the right door to your master bath when they close it would make a star/snowflake shape with the wood work. That could be super cute.

[@jenniferphillips4765]

The house is crooked in that square of land. Am I the only one that noticed or did anyone else see?! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOME, I LOVE THE HARDWOOD FLOORS AND THE RICH WHITE. IT MAKES IT LOOKS RICH AND CLEAN. I GREW UP IN A 24000 SQF HOME ON A LAKE. AND IT ALSO HAD SOMEWHAT OF A A FRAME FRONT WINDOW BUT ACTUALLY IT WAS A BARN SHAPE. FOR OUR CHRISTMAS TREE'S WE WOULD GO WALK INTO THE WOODS AND CUT DOWN OUR OWN TREE.. WE HAD A 18 FOOT, 16 FOOD AND A 14 FOOT TREE. ILL NEVER FORGET IT. AND THE NEW SMELL OF IT! THE WOOD AND CARPET. LOVE IT. CONGRATS

[@emilyirene2806]

You guys are super blessed to build your home. It is absolutely beautiful and I one day would want to build my own home. Each room is perfect. Everyone loves the kitchen but I’m in love with that BATH! relaxation is my top priority in life. I can’t wait to see the furnishing. It’s going to come out beautiful. Keep up the good work mama on being a great person!

[@Sainthood.wav1]

Wow this is designed so well. 10/10 . Form & function works so well and that's not always easy to do. I love it! Great job!

[@kirstenberra2939]

Your house is so beautiful! I cannot wait for the updated full house tour! Congrats Bert & Jessica and kids! 😁💕🌲

[@VictoriouslyBroken]

I LOVE your house! This might seem like a strange thing, but one of the things that I love most about your house is how many electrical outlets y’all have! I live in a very old farmhouse (in south central Pennsylvania) and there are definitely not enough electrical outlets in my house. I also absolutely love the sliding barn doors and the large pantry! Beautiful house!

[@debmac2]

I think I would never leave that kitchen if it was mine! I love everything about the kitchen and omg the living room is amazing and beautiful! Congrats on your new room, may you make memories everyday to last a lifetime :)

[@paigehardy4359]

Your home is beautiful. You should be so proud of yourselves for doing so much of it yourselves and for paying for it out of pocket for so long. Such an accomplishment! A beautiful place to raise your family.

[@andreamatlick5261]

😭 so happy for you! We are about to move into a new home in 2 weeks so all your videos have really hit home as we go through the same thing!

[@earthstar7534]

Investing that much is worth it. We bought our forever home last year and its so worth it to be content and calm. It really quiets the noise of life and lets you appreciate it more.

[@wasmorton]

Amazing home! I’ve never been envious of anyone’s house, until now. You have created the perfect home to finish raising your children. Just imagine the memories to come...this will be where your children bring your grandchildren for holidays. Wow! Congrats, job well done.

[@gothgurl2809]

When you started crying i started. And you guys are making me think of my walk with Jesus and how i need to get back to knowing Him. So thank you for that.

[@MsHarlow15]

What a lovely space to call home !!! I wish you nothing but health and happiness and dreams fulfilled for the entire family...May God bless your home and the family that lives under its’ roof :)...Hugs and love !!

[@Karla6454]

I just stumbled across your Vlogs and I am glad I did. Thanks for sharing your lives with the world.. BTW Love love your new home..

[@imalittletippett]

What a lovely home. You guys created something so beautiful together. 👏💜 Congratulations. I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labor.

[@PhantomGirl1988]

i think you should do option 1 for the tree one year, and then try option 2 for another year just to test out both areas to see which would look best for the tree. and OMG I love those CLOSETS!!! and that master bathroom, and the kitchen...I love everything about this house! I cannot wait to see how it looks when everything is inside, I hope you do another house tour when you get everything and everyone all moved in

[@KatherineWalden]

So happy for you guys, my cheeks were hurting from smiling so much as you gave the tour ! Love your strategy for family interaction, small bedrooms, large meeting areas. The views from those huge windows - awesome!

[@joycebrowne8754]

Bert and Jessica you both are such humble people and God's loving servants. He knows both of your hearts and he knows what you're trying to do and when you serve the Lord He blesses you abundantly even though you had to work so hard for what you have received. The Lord knows that you are going to be serving his people now and in the future. When you serve God and you are servants to God's people the Lord will keep blessing you over and over. I am so thankful that the Lord has put y'all in my life and you're such an inspiration Jessica and Bert. You can see the Lord through your actions and how you carry yourself on the vlog. I have not been with you very long yet I feel as if I've known you my whole entire life in person and one day maybe the Lord will allow me to meet you. One thing I know I've watched so many of your back vlogs I know when you can see a man of God and a woman of God. Your children are so loving and beautiful. Very well behaved... as we all know children will be children...yet when you raise them in the right way as you have you can see the beauty of the Lord that shines through those children. God bless each and everyone of you and I am so happy that you have such a beautiful home it is absolutely gorgeous and you and Bert well deserve what you have. All the choices that you have made Jessica there gorgeous. God bless you and don't forget to say hi to your mothers. Your friend and sis in Christ.

[@dannie52874]

Oh!! That insert leading up to the school room should be a bulletin board! You can decorate it with the kiddos for holidays or themes you’re learning. Put a spotlight on it! 😄

[@katmacie2369]

The Christmas tree should go in option 1- that would look really nice, I'm so happy you didn't paint the fireplace like you were talking about during the build. It looks so warm with the more natural stone color. The barn doors and beans all look really nice with the neutral colors. I hope you guys can sit down and finally enjoy your beautiful home!

[@rochpaparazzi]

I love it, and I'm so happy for you and your family!

[@TheAAnne123]

Yeeeehah❣️WooooHoooo❣️ So excited for you all😀😀😀 Definitely option one for the tree🎄 Verrrry smart husbands say “...as long as YOU like it!” Excellent planning to have the door in the pantry to the garage!!!!!!

[@thetapequeen5489]

Your home turned out beautiful. I'm so happy for you. Taking the time to express how grateful you are for it was the most beautiful part of all the tour and that's saying a lot. May God bless you with many years of happiness and special memories in your new home.

[@jennifersosebee8761]

Your home is Beautiful and I love your ideas, I may have to borrow a few,😉😁! God Bless y’all!

[@fallemations3466]

Love the words of affirmation from your husband to you at the end! What a godly husband!!!

[@maureenleone8480]

Agree with places your tree near doors- you will be able to enjoy the view of it from any angle in the space- even from your kitchen

[@scmeron]

I just found your channel a few days ago and I absolutely love it!!! Your love is AMAZING! Your house is PERFECTION! Hardwork pays off.

[@SteffyRabbitheart]

Your home is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!

[@Ccnewman17]

Y’all are seriously so cute. The house is stunning and I love how you’ve been so creative and hands on. God bless your family.

[@KamboCan629]

I would put up multiple trees in the wide area next to the fireplace. Say three trees that are 4ft, 7ft and 10ft. This way as you stand them side by side with the small one in the middle it could mimic the Alaskan woods. I believe it would be beautiful and you could even do a northern lights theme. Just my thought. Beautiful home and I wish you never forget the motto of our home, "Making Memories" God bless!

[@2mu0mm]

Watch your ovens front door. Just purchased a Frigidaire pretty fancy type. Brought it home.installed and when we started it the doors were to hot to even touch the outside. It was extremely dangerous since we have kids and we returned it that day and bought and LG.

[@katrinaleebaldwin4660]

I have been geeking out on KZbin for the last few days over the building process of my DREAM HOME/Business. I am in the process of building on 90 acre property and I'm driving everyone crazy about ICF vs Timber, Geothermal, Solar, Wind Turbines, and all the "boring" parts of building. Mike Holmes is on constant replay and trying to explain the importance of building a home and spending more on the things that won't seen seems crazy to some of my friends. I designed much of the placement of my layout thinking about holiday decorations such as Christmas trees and life events such a seeing my kids (that I don't have yet) come down the stairs to take pictures for prom. I want my house for myself and my future kids, but I also want to run a business out of it so thanks for the suggestion of the Heat Recovery Ventilator and the fire place. Wisconsin ain't as cold as Alaska, but it can get pretty cold and losing power in the middle of nowhere during ice storms is not fun.

[@bethareutzel1116]

Congratulations on your new home. Very beautiful.

[@MsDivaJonelle]

New subbie here! Binge watching your videos and you guys are such a lovely family. Love your new home! You guys have done a great job with the layout.

[@ayeisbae]

You guys should be so proud of yourselves. You've created something incredible! It's a beautiful home.

[@ServiceDogRosie]

@SomersinAlaska You can use that open shelving in kitchen for christmas house village as an idea!! Love your new home...

[@margaretbedwell58]

Y'all have built a beautiful home with so many special details. So well thought through and I love the fact the pantry is off the garage...how great that will be in the winter especially. A little hint on the pantry...line up your canned goods in alphabetical order, vegetables on one shelf and fruit on the other. Baking supplies together in one spot also cereals in one spot. Then when grocery shopping you can look at a glance as you leave for the store what you are low on or what you are out of completely. Anyone can help put the groceries away because they are always in the same place. This is something I did when I was in school food service because we had to take inventory once a month and the sheets were in alphabetical order. Feeding 250 to 300 children a day was a lot of food. Can you just imagine how long that chore would take if everything were put in just any spot on a shelf. Well worth the effort now as you begin to stock these empty shelves. Have a Blessed day and thank you so much for sharing all your great ideas with us.

[@jenniferharris482]

Absolutely amazing and Beautiful! Your design and ideas are on creative. Thanks for sharing

[@shannonlee3671]

That pantry is everything! Gotta have a gas stove though, but that's just me because i love using my cast iron and cast iron on glass top makes me a bit nervous and a pain to keep clean lol. Congrats on your home!

[@cgee6532]

What a beautiful house! So happy for you all! I would put the Christmas tree on the left side of the fireplace.

[@maryq4546]

So happy for your family! The house is spectacular! I love it! I cant wait to see everything moved in! God Bless you all!!!

[@marias.4289]

Yay! ..You guys need a nice get away weekend now! Lol ❤

[@BrynjaLives]

The house is SOOO Lovely. I brought my husband to the computer, to see it. WE JUST LOVE IT! Fabulous job! So worth it all. The only thing I would change is a gas stove ( I do a lot of canning). You have a Costco, too. I cant say enough about how great this all is.

[@rachelnuttall9309]

Just came across you guys and your vlogs and really enjoying it. The house is absolutely beautiful and so worth all the hard work. Such an inspiration 🤩

[@laurieb5]

Congratulations the house looks amazing. I wish you many, many amazing years in your new home.... 🏠👏🏻❤️👩‍👧‍👧👨‍👦

[@savannahmendez3964]

Thank you! everything is amazing. Thank u so much for taking us all with you all.

[@RiannaNicole]

Months later, I'm so happy for ya'll. Your journey and the feels, knowing it's done and it's super close to all that you wanted, with things that can be tweaked if/when needed, that's the best way to be/think of things. I'm so grateful to your journey, as well as your gracious minds to share your home plans, let alone the journey of creating such a masterpiece! It's a work of art. My boyfriend and I are saving up for our home, renting a fairly cheap place in PA (9/11 crash site area...just commented on the Q&A earlier) to get our savings up. We are much like ya'll, just without the little ones. I like the aesthetics, but I do also like the functionality and saving money down the road (like the heating aspect ya'll did with that fireplace). The man of the house likes the technical stuff like "fireplace helps with heat" "double pane windows" type thing (with winters less harsh than ya'll, triple is a bit much, but we're still figuring out where to plant ourselves come getting our home...we're planning on staying in the lower 48). I'll definitely have ya'll on a loop once we get serious about the house! Ya'll are too good! May this house be a blessing for ya'll and all the best memories outweigh the cost of it!

[@marthamarshall668]

Simply Breathtaking! Jessica, you and I could be long lost sisters.....lol! If I could build a dream house in a dream place, this would be it! You both have such a gift and it is evident this this house was built with LOVE! Y’all have really thought of everything and managed to utilized every nook and cranny for storage and/or smart living!! Your life is such a wonderful example of God’s love and blessing! You have such an awesome family that has put God first and now experiencing His hand of blessing! It makes my heart happy to watch and be a small part of your journey and story, even as a bystander! It’s surreal because I feel like if I were to run into you somewhere and we talked, it would be like we had known each other for forever! Enjoy the fruits of your labor while making memories in your new home that will last a lifetime! From the bottom of my heart, you two truly deserve all the happiness your wonderful hearts can hold! May God continue to bless and keep your family for eternity. So glad you are on the mend and getting better every day!

[@CalledtoCultivate]

What a gorgeous home! Love all the personalized touches you added. I can tell you spent a lot of time making it your own. I’m a huge fan of that modern farmhouse style! 💕😊

[@Dianawho1966]

Absolutely beautiful home for a wonderful family. The love that you put into this home shows in all the little details. I am so happy and excited that you have achieved this dream. You are very blessed. It is so wonderfully refreshing watching you share your faith.

[@aliciamiller2419]

Im so happy to have found 1 of your vlogs a couple months ago. You guys have a changed my outlook on life and changed my outlook on how a happy family should be. I have watched a lot of your videos waiting for new videos. I really wish you guys in the future will try and get a show on TV. I will definitely never miss an episode. Thanks for sharing everything you do and being open and honest. I hope you guys have a great first morning in your house when it comes. I know that's going to be the best rewarding feeling when you wake up in your new home.

Hey guys, I just want to tell you that your house is amazing and your work is inspiring. I am actually from Kuwait in the Middle East and I found your channel few months ago I was so surprised at the moment of the life in Alaska I would never imagined a bit of what you are showing and I am pretty sure that some people would think the same for us in ME. The idea of discovering another part of the world and life there is just an absolute joy. I would like to thank you and your family for your vlogs. Sending love ❤️

[@stephaniestamper3959]

Congratulations! Building a house is hard work & a lot can go unnoticed until you move in. I did see all your electrical plugs. When we built our home that is one thing I wish we had thought of. I have no plug-in in our laundry room! So I have to do all ironing in the living room. Stuff like that. But I pray you are happy in your new house and fill it with wonderful memories. Relax you all have earned it!
