Was driving past your pick up truck on Freeway heading to south Darkota on freeway on the back of a Harley and I saw your KZbin on the back of truck. The Lord told me to write it down in my notes as I was traveling and lo and behold you are believers. I'm visiting from Australia 🇦🇺 and enjoying your country.

[@starofgracebbq]

Sarah, you and you husband should create your own channel. Showing the ups and downs of a newly couple. What you do homesteading, what adventures you go on and maybe watching your little family grow one day. Colin Is really good in camera and very respectful. He’s good as walking through things and showing his ups and downs like when he double hit the last nail (it’s ok bud, it’s happened to us all🤙).

[@randallan8158]

If Colin didn't have it before, marrying into the family will give him mad carpentry skills.

[@danielcolantuono9824]

Wow great to see you Julie and Them had everything under control 👍👍👍👍

[@ericgillespie4062]

Hillsdale! Wow, what a great sponsor. I'm happy to see y'all's years of hard work being rewarded.

[@peter-hr1gl]

I smiled at many points where you have 'newbie' moments regarding various activities and where you had to explain how to make the siding jog and fix the existing one (with ONE brad nail). I understand everybody needs to learn and sometimes this stuff is not intuitive so I'm not bein critical, just found it humorous (same as in the old days of PC computing when people didn't know what a mouse was or what it was used for on a computer). I don't remember when I learned many of the things you 'found out' while doing them, but I know it was about the same time of life (when I was in my 20's) so for the young folks who are doing this, kudo's to them for learning.

[@longwildernesswalks]

Awesome! Can't wait to watch the trip videos. Julie and the crew really held down the place good for you. Glad you two made it home safe.

[@genewileyopa]

Enjoyed the video. I like the white siding. Just stands out. Thanks guys. Glad the adventures made it back safe.

[@bryanprehoda]

You guys are awesome team

[@loucinci3922]

J, S, & C did a wonderful with the siding. Looks fantastic.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Thanks!

[@heneghan82]

The second part of this video should be "My name is Julie, hear me roar!" I've always known Julie could handle things but it has been fun this summer to see you all running the show without Marty! Welcome back Marty and Seth!

[@RobSharp-wo5qj]

The siding looks great . I hope your daughter and son in law had a great trip to Canada. I see the smoke in the video hope it didnt cause any problems.

[@donnavickery9623]

You are a real trooper Julie !!!!

[@J297WFD]

Banff and Jasper NP are so beautiful!

[@deannichols3501]

I just signed up with Hill Dale College. Thank you

[@juliejohnson9531]

Cool! Tell us what course you end up starting.

[@johnkirby6547]

Very nice job you guy's did 👏

[@marithaswanepoel5257]

Glad you are all back safe and fresh. ❤

[@gailegormley5744]

I used LP Smart Siding and I also painted the back side to protect from moisture as you do all cut places!!

[@mogulmaker1875]

I saw you all down there on the creek! I was headed home. ❤

[@juliejohnson9531]

nice!

[@timf6916]

Good job. Nice looking 👀

[@rosscarbaugh7945]

Great video. Can you give us more details about the lap siding? (Manufacturer, etc.) Thanks in advance!

[@juliejohnson9531]

It's LP siding.

[@MechsWorld]

Today's reappearance was kind of cool. Son-in-law needs nailer training; Marty. Julie is brave with the bees, like a real professional, that was also awesome to watch.

[@seanbeharry9319]

Hi am still watching just home chilling out, nice to watch the progress

[@heehee1096]

we need a whole video with just colin in it!😁

[@idjmic]

Lake Louise is just 3 hours from me. Welcome!

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

For future reference, if you want to make the starting of the hole for the light base easier, start by running the drill in reverse for a few seconds then switch to normal mode.

[@choirmom78]

loved this video...great progress

[@russellwatters5891]

Ya'll did a dandy job on the siding, and kept the lines straight as well..😂😅 Glad the trip to Alaska was enjoyed, it's usually a bucket list trip. Love ya'll ❤️

[@WahYudi-rp5ro]

Hallo pak martin,dpt salam dari condong catur jogja😊😊

[@karenspeer7378]

Hello Sweet Family!! 🙋‍♀️🦋🌻

[@jjchap9574]

Salut. TY for the vid. You did great, Siding up on one side. The wandering father/son team have returned safe and.... almost sound. My family has an issue with insanity running in our family. From the kids to the parents. :) 5 to 6 k is not a trip round the block. Nicely done. Glad to see everyone.

[@flowerstone]

If you hold on to the saw table and use your finger for a guide you can cut those strips without using a chalk line way easier and quicker. 😊

[@williamshaven8289]

Something I learned is the outlet box should be mounted through your block, not behind it. When mounted behind the block, a flash ring is usually required to extend the box to the light for fire protection in case of an arc in thee box. Good Job.

[@tamistone7344]

Hello everybody! Colin and Sarah, I'm so glad you both were able to see beautiful Lake Louise! I was there many years ago when the Glasser's were still around and got to go up on them! It was amazing! I'll bet you enjoyed some time alone Jules with the kitties, doggie chickens and bee's! Lol! So nice to see the metal roofing finally come in!! Guys! I'm so glad you were able to go up to Alaska and see all that beautiful country! My husband wants to go there and go fishing! Glad to see you both got home safely! The siding on the apartment looks really great too! 😊❤

[@timhardison4084]

Good morning. Hard work as usual. Keep it up.

[@AlanaShuster]

I loved your Rocky Mountain views. I used to live in Banff for two years. SKIING AT Lake Louise was my favorite ski hill. thanks for letting me go through my happiest time in life.

[@xroaddog934]

Can't Wait for the Videos on the trip to Alaska and I'm sure Seth will get er done. And The Family held down the Homestead while getting quite a bit accomplished while you and Seth were on a Road Trip. 🤓

[@sandrarandazzo5172]

Welcome Home Martin and Seth!🙂🙂

[@fghbaban3789]

so beautiful view

[@thomastimothy777]

Watching Ms Jules do this alone has been an absolute treat. Too bad ole Marty got back from his trip 😢

[@colleenbow777]

I was in the turn lane next to you guys after you left the paint store. Just as I got next to you Marty turned his head to talk to you Julie. I didn’t want to honk be cause of all the traffic. 😅

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, I had a native beehive in the backyard of my house and they sworn and disappeared even taken the honey with them. Don’t know why they do it but obviously they’re not happy and sad because I used to love sitting there watching them flying in and out 😮 , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@joeromanak8797]

You’ve built up a family of can-do people. I hope that your example encourages more and more families to do the same. America can use a return to some core values and you guys are pointing the way to the right path. Thank you. 🥸👍👀👋 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DKHomestead]

Welcome back!!!

[@JonathanJohny23]

Maybe, next project will a aparrement build around some lake / river.. So beautiful life of all people around forest, lake or river.🙏🙏💖❤

[@donnavickery9623]

Colin and Sarah need a roof over their deck !!!!

[@mikecliff2367]

Most of those nail guns have a Multifire in a single fire setting. The single fire setting is safer and helps prevent some of those double hits. I know this personally as I have put a nail through an index finger.

[@tinaparrish6930]

Wow on the price for the paint .😮

[@uchanugroho]

bu julie funny always dan kita senang lihat bee tux,ayam dan kucing yang lucu dan kita senang lihat kalian di alam yang indah dan sarah n Colin kalian seperti dylan n milea naik gunung bagus sekali dan pak martin n seth senang lihat anda lagi hope next video kita bisa lihat full team hangout good luck guys n tetap tersenyum happy

[@BodiePerkins]

Always leave a "gap" when installing siding, or ???, to let the caulk go into the joint and not just on top.

[@juliejohnson9531]

right. That's what we did. About an 1/8 gap.

[@lizregan1949]

Good afternoon..

[@chipprice1174]

Want good smoke from your bee smoker, use burlap, 2nd choice, and old 100% cotton fabric. Cloths, wash cloths, just 100% cotton.

[@mikenuyen4441]

Many bee swarms this year. This is good. Bees are coming back.

[@AaronNelson-qb2hg]

"gator grip" from local big box store works good for lap siding too....

[@raymondfolsom5859]

$400...wow. Great job and welcome back home.

[@Trapper____1969]

Feed the dead bees to chickens

[@garybensel6680]

Why are you using flex ductwork? Will that not sag and collect water from condensation?

[@juliejohnson9531]

you're right. It's already installed so we put an OSB board up there to prevent any sagging.

[@clarencewiles963]

Hillsdale College does not take government funding. So they are not influenced ✅✅✅✅

[@hanzon]

So no electrical training is required to install electricity in the US, what about insurance?

[@Littlewing1977]

lol

[@joesnuffy1961]

Most places in the US will let you work on your own home if you are capable of doing the work!

[@kathyking8675]

It's ok Colin

[@fghbaban3789]

hi sarah❤

[@LuisLopez-yk5jy]

What’s the color of white siding? Looks awesome.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Beefy White from Benjamin Moore

[@tonnypratondodarmaputra7494]

Sarah, when will you make another video...??? I already miss Sarah's vlogs

[@danhandke5012]

👍❤️👍🙏🏼👍

[@trinitylcmsdothan5262]

It could make more visual interest if the siding was random spacing.

[@deannichols3501]

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Hillsdale College is forming great minds all over America. A People without Wisdom is LOST!!!

[@robertelrose6239]

Wouldn't Marty's toothbrush work better to clean up the dead bees???

[@juliejohnson9531]

😂

[@deecee9051]

😂😂😂

[@kathypopp531]

Colin,did you ever think you would be making videos??

[@joelink7665]

Things are going so smooth with Marty gone...

[@beetleclemens3727]
