Whoever edits the footage does an excellent job. There is a nice combination of family, work, and animal footage. I enjoy that one of you states what you are going to do, and then do it. What I enjoy the most is how you end your videos. There is no fanfare, but very comforting scenes. What a joy to watch you both and your family progressing toward your goals. 5 Stars.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you, thats a huge compliment!

[@sherry2836]

Also loved the ending song. Very fitting for these two!

When Eli came out to kiss Melissa's face I melted! My "baby" is 14 and he squishes my face every single day! I also really appreciate the acknowledgement of demotivation. It's a lot of work and though you're both capable, you're both human too! I love everything you guys are building so far, and I love the fuzzy fur babies too!

[@brendasmiley6128]

Big respect for working out in the cold, I have been living in Idaho for 26 years and know a lot what that's about!!

[@neoncatfish3585]

You can buy cross braces that are made out of cable with a turnbuckle in the middle to tighten them up, and throughout the years of use you can keep adjusting them! Or you can do it the old-fashioned way, a loop of wire that goes diagonally to corner to corner with a stick in the middle to tighten it up with! More or less making x! Y'all stay safe my friends!

[@bethdurbin3279]

I was thinking the same thing!!

This family is so full of love even your animals are in tune with the closeness . My heart is so full when i see your baby boy loving up on you.

Comments on your episodes. Your photography is consistently excellent. The introductory nature shots make a very nice introduction and set the mood and tone to come. The shots are always crisp and clear. 👍 Your use of music is well done, interesting, appropriate and entertaining. 👍 Your interactions and story line are always fun and engaging, keeping people coming back for more. I think you make your audience feel like welcome guests or even part of your family. 👍 Thanks for the time and work you put into videoing and editing your work. Overall you deserve an A plus. 😀

Wow thank you. That means more to us than you know!

My heart really went out to you guys. The time and effort those doors took is just AMAZING when it is taken into consideration within the scope of your overall goals. Your tenacity is impressive. I pray your love continue to grow exponentially as you invest in each other (and your children) in the building of your homestead.

[@pennylane36]

Love how your dog is always in the background looking like he’s down to business protecting the homestead 😁

Might be the time to invest in a small portable lumber mill. It will also come in useful when building the Big House.

[@donnawarmouth9329]

I don’t think that was the baby

[@pitsnipe5559]

Seeing you guys working out in that very cold air brought back memories. As a young man I worked as an electrician’s helper on Cape Cod. One very cold Winter day I had to connect up the power drop to a house (yes, in those days the electrician would hook up the utility power while it was live). Still remember how my hands felt trying to make up the connections. Kept dropping things because I couldn’t feel anything. And that, my friend, is why I live in Georgia.

So glad your little one felt the love of your audience. Childhood is (should be?) a wonderful, naive experience. An opportunity to build the groundwork. You guys are doing a great job of it. IMHO. Really good parents.

[@keithburch5506]

I loved the interaction w sheep. Loving, caring people, awesome. The cat, the dog, your family is just awesome. Even the meat rabbits are loved and cared for before being processed. I see so many other people treat their, key word, their, animals like they are nothing. One man pets his cats by petting, knocking, them on the head...who does that? Cats love to be loved on, not smacked on the head! I'm in Hickory NC, rain, no snow. Love you guys!

steel cable, braces and turnbuckle- $12 or so at Home Depot. Fix that cross brace issue without wood costs

[@trishwarth1223]

I cannot wait to see the garden growing this spring may God bless the work of your hands oh and keep them warm

[@frenchysandi]

I’m reading the comments I need to know more about fencing. Oh your sheep are so cute.

[@williammcrae3177]

All gates should have a diagonal brace installed to prevent eventual sagging. From bottom at hinged side to top of outside corner.

[@terrydycus2656]

Jeremy said the same thing in the video. They used lumber they had on hand to keep from buying more high priced lumber.

[@earlhollar1906]

With my design that works pretty good for clothesline wires to keep them tight. They make a heavy wire 4 stabilizing Corner posts and gate posts for barbed wire fence. You cut the pieces to length straighten them out and thread one end and secure the other end whichever way works best for you. At the top corner, hinge side you put a small turnbuckle. The turnbuckles usually have quite a few threads so you want to make sure you have enough thread on your wire and grease them well. When the gate starts to Sag couple cranks on the turnbuckle your Square again. Depending on the style of turnbuckle, most have eye bolts and just Loop the wire through it.

[@mariowickel456]

I'd also suggest additional hinges on the drive thru Gates on the middle cross member

[@pippakay7234]

Oh my, you both looked perished to the bone. How long till you thawed out? I hope the gates are a success you both worked so hard on them. Pity you couldn't get hold of a load of manure to put on the garden so as the frost openscthe ground the muck falls into the cracks. Stick at it guys you're getting closer to the end goal with each passing day. 👌🧡💛💚👍

[@earlyriser8998]

ideally yes. This can be added with a cable brace later if required.

[@acoupleofpreppers]

Always love your choice of music. The gates look great and I love the panel fencing. It all gives a great look and certainly functional. I feel like your dog fits in well with your sheep lol all very cute! Have a great night, God bless.

[@rjthomasindyusa]

The 'man door' will defiantly sag. You need a brace from the bottom hinge to the opposite top corner. Thanks for the inspiration on alternative ways to grow a family.

[@darlenedouglas5148]

Jeremy, I have used the cable bracing on my gates for the last 20yrs & no sagging issues!! Saving on high price lumber makes good sense when you are getting ready to build your forever home! You're definitely brave souls working out there in the 🥶 cold 🥶 !!! Glad to see that you had the fire 🔥 going so quickly! Stay warm & God Bless you and your family!

[@geraldsmith5310]

Hi guys love your channel you have helped me to keep sane during lock down in England keep up the good work and stay safe .

[@ladyloquitavida148]

I can speak on "lack of motivation"! First & foremost, neither of YOU suffer from this! Quite the contrary,... you are both super-duper overachievers! I've had 6 surgeries since December 1st of 2017, and each time I was allowed to come home, I was told to "take it easy for the next 6 or more weeks!". This drove me NUTS!! (And very few people understand what it means to a normally 'super active' person, to be told to 'take it easy' for 6 or more weeks!) 👍👍 I applaud y'all's work ethic and your commitment to getting things done according to your BIG, overall timeline! You inspire me each video to get 'something' accomplished!! 👍 I can't thank you enough!! 👌👍👍

Ol Jeremy's turning into quite the carpenter, a man of many talents. Farmstead's looking cool as fk. Great job guy's.

[@ginakellems1718]

Cull carts or Cull loads at Home Depot and Lowes.....place hot hands directly on inside of Wrist. Hold them with cloth or sweat bands, to work outside. Keeps blood flow through hands Warmer.

[@SOONERTHANYOUWISH]

Probably should add a diagonal to the larger gates or they will sag over time use small diameter cable and a turnbuckle the hardware would be cheaper than current lumber prices

[@makapalatrace8385]

Steel cable and a turnbuckle for the diagonal brace. Cheaper than lumber.

[@rosawilliams9145]

I have seen that.

[@KarleneE]

Good idea!!! Actually great idea! I have seen that before on a wall structure, but I never thought about it on a door!

Given the timber you have on your property, you should look into a portable mill. It would pay for itself in providing lumber for the house build. Also, get a dado blade for your Dewalt and cut those notches in seconds.

I was wondering why they weren't using a router at least, but maybe they don't need one yet? Won't they need one eventually?

Hey guys I'm jealous, I use to live in Kellogg back in 2008 they didn't have the water park back then but the fishing was outstanding, I worked for a company over in St.Maries doing DishNet work I was an installer, In the months I worked for AW Satellite, I installed 2500 installs plus repairs, my best day was 12 installs someday I was up around the Idaho Canada border, a lady was problems with a animal knocking down her dish, so I had to go all the way to her home in the forest, when I got there her and her daughter was inside pointing out the door and WOW there is the biggest Moose I have ever seen that was her problem he didn't like the Dish and kept knocking it down, So I chased him out of the area, Got down my 28 foot ladder put it next to a huge pine tree grabbed a new dish and up I went, I mounted the new dish at 25 foot of the ground, Then it happened that Moose came back and knocked my ladder off the tree, I shouted to the lady to shut your door I went down the branches about 10 foot off the ground pulled out the 44mag 310 gr jacketed hollowpoints, I shoot the Super RedHawk Stainlesssteel 7.5barrel, I said buddy I'm going to rattle your brains, I took aim at him and KABOOM he took off through the trees, I jumped down and went to the house, the lady asked did you kill that Moose, Oh no ma'am just gave him a helluva a headache plus I beat his ears are still ringing, I put a hole in his rack right next to his ear, he shouldn't be back anymore plus where I put your new Dish he or anything else will never get to it again, she paid me the bill which goes in my pocket cause it's a service call, as far as I know the Moose never came back and her Dish still works well, but I still miss that area one day I'll be back for awhile,, take care of that back look for the Copper mesh back brace they really work might find it on line on CopperFit.com but just take it easy buddy we need you well love you and your family your in my prayers GodBless

You guys are great!! I live in a woodsided home in the sticks. We’re still working on our place an you have giving us so much inspiration. Our Neighbor I use to clean for has a 4 story authentic log cabin from early 1800’s. He raised his son for 27yrs with no electricity or running water. When I cleaned for them I had to draw water from the well out back, heat it in a pot over a fire. Go inside Light the candles in the house. It was Awesome! What I thought was neat was their composting toilet. It was a bit wider an taller with a little foot stool, but it looked like a normal flusher. It was in the house like a normal one. Unbelievably The composter had No smell! After using Add Pete to it an under bottom is a drawer that you empty weekly. Within a few days it’s dirt. He kept a big area of compost outside he dumped it in a good way off from the house or water source. The owner I cleaned for sold it after losing his wife an now the new owners use it as an airb&b. We just spoke recently about me cleaning it again. If you go the off grid route of no Flusher, check out Lehman’s Non Elec Amish Store in Ohio. They have some amazing products. An Old fashion two holer is pretty nice too) “I’ll stop advertising the John 😆 wasn’t sure if you saw a message I sent before.” I keep telling my family If the Aztecs could live in a zero waste society with a qtr of million people, why can’t We try?” Our place has septic an power but I want to be off grid as soon as possible. We had a power outage last night an not having a wood stove really made a diff. We’re set up for one just need to get it in. I’d like a country hearth fireplace to cook on. Food taste so much better on an open fire.
