Girls Making Their Own Home Made Tiny-house

The older girls have been making their own home made Tiny-house over the last couple years and have finally moved in!
It started when Sarah was 15, making plans for her house and deciding what type of structure and foundation she would need. At the same time we were building a horse shelter and had installed treated poles in the ground. It seemed like a great idea to build her tiny house on the second level, above the horse shelter.
Chipping away in their spare time the girls framed the walls and finished the roof last year, making their own custom SIP's (structurally insulated panels) and installed standing seam roofing metal. So far this year they've installed second hand windows, their home made wooden door, and milled spruce for the board and batten siding.
This off grid tiny house is super cute and simple. With home made and second hand materials they've kept the cost very low and developed all sorts of new skills. How's that for a real life home school project!?
There's lots more to do; heating, water, outhouse and finishing the inside. We'll be sure to provide an update.
We couldn't be more proud of the girls making their own home made tiny-house. See you later girls!

Lol...I think popcorn, chocolate milk and going to bed early would be one heck of a party!😉To take that party to a respectable level of "crazy" I might even make chocolate bar cocoa and raw cheddar popcorn!🙌🎉

[@lefebvreandre9344]

Jeff is a real party animal!

[@cameranbittick3814]

And asleep by 10..hell yeah.

[@allencharlei8351]

Missing Sara's smile and laughter and jokes I hope someday she'll take more part and the videos again

[@karenblanck7726]

Dad puns....every teenage girl’s worst nightmare. I love the obligatory grin and half-hearted laugh....she loves her Dad so she politely smiles or gives a little laugh....and in the meantime she’s doing everything humanly possible to prevent her eyes from rolling into back of her head. I love my own dad with all my heart...he is 80 now and I’m nearly 60 and the dad puns are still part of our relationship! ❤️

[@drneedles7093]

Awesome. Letting your daughters take risks to become self reliant. That would solve a lot of our problems if every parent did the same.

[@mariowickel456]

It sounds like you are extremely proud of your daughters, as you should be. You and your wife have done an excellent job kudos to you !!

[@immortalsofar5314]

You girls have achieved more in your first few years than most people do in a lifetime. Keep up the good work and remember, you can do anything!

[@chrisallen9154]

Much rather watch Gridlessness than Pure Living For Life anyday. This family is the real deal!

[@MohammedAslamtit-bitsoflife]

@@chrisallen9154 True...but I certainly miss Foch o matic family.

[@toms6841]

@@chrisallen9154 Not to down anyone, but I stopped watching Pure Living a long time ago. Something about the channel and their presentation just didn't resonate with me.

[@edrosenberger6947]

This was not a small undertaking....for anyone, regardless of age. These girls didn't purchase their lumber....they milled it from the trees on their property. These are some determined, intelligent, gutsy girls. One cannot help but admire, even love, people like them. I am in awe of this wonderful family and if I could start over....they are what I would try to emulate for my family. Great video!!!!!!!!

[@TBPollock]

The education that you and your wife are providing to those girls, far exceeds anything Harvard, Princeton or Yale, et al, has to offer.

[@MohammedAslamtit-bitsoflife]

Yeah exactly...

[@haroldvonhelms8304]

yes they are taught love

[@cameranbittick3814]

They are getting real world skills, not advanced political dynamic theory of ground water osmosis...and hey they gonna have a good life I bet..

Υes indeed 💟💓❤

Those are some amazing young ladies ya'll have raised.

[@noproblem2big337]

Seriously girls I'm so impressed, home made SIPs and all, that is a great achievement... keep up the good work, and humour, great video!! Planks a lot👍

[@dannywilson4829]

I've been in construction my whole life and let me tell you that was an awesome job on the house. I wish I had a crew like you guys. Great job

[@MrExpert]

This is the Best Family and Channel I've found :) Awesome

[@arnoldromppai5395]

it would be better if they left out the 2 that keep popping in sitting at a table talking smake, trying to be funny, when its not

[@kevintulak9987]

That is cool to see. We raised two girls on a small farm in the mountains of southern B.C. . We had a couple of teen boys come to do some work one day as part of a fund raising thing they were doing. They tried hard to keep up with my younger girls, and couldn't. The mother of one of the boys called my wife after to tell her that her son came home and did the dishes and told her he would never complain about doing the chores again. They both went to bed early. , Your girls are very lucky to live the life they are living, it is giving them so many life skills and an attitude that will carry them through what ever hard times they face, and an understanding that it is all doable. Thanks for sharing.

[@noproblem2big337]

Well done, it all started with great parenting, if everyone did the same this world would be a much better place 👍

[@gayleowens5057]

Two fine young talented women.

[@lukewarmwater5320]

This is the best family channel on youtube hands down no contest...

[@Blitzman364]

Seriously some of the best, involuntarily smile-inducing, wholesome content anywhere on the internet. congrats on the progress! 👍

[@Gridlessness]

Thanks!

[@JoelWelter]

Well, here I've gone and wasted 18:27 of my life doing what I love to do. Watching your videos!

[@johnnymac8680]

Those two young ladies are amazing, like the pioneers who crossed the west in the 19th Century. Not long before snow comes so everything has to be finished off. Great video!

[@delmasparker5184]

Awesome. Those girls are so talented. Their smiles and motivation to do for themselves is commendable. A fine example to all who watch. Can’t wait to see their final product.

[@michaeldesjarlais1390]

I was thinking the same thing, but about the girls... Proud, independent, self reliant, who believe in themselves. Know right from wrong Mom and Dad. Awesome

[@origadeboar8528]

I'll never get tired of dave giving his speech.

[@jenniferayork9098]

I have 9 year old twins. One boy, one girl. They've been asking me to build them a tree house. I think you've given me a great idea to build an elevated tree house, minus the tree. Keep up the good work girls and mom and dad and Dave:)

[@medina3420]

Sara is a Beast!!! So proud of her. I couldn't PAY some people much less my kids to do ANYTHING like that roof

[@truthbknown4957]

I think your girls have a great mom and dad.

[@johntw8567]

please be sure to get video of dave teaching girls to make furniture. Great job building house and maintaining a good safety attitude

He's quite the presario.

Took me a while to get his sense of humour. Once I did, as you might, it is really fun.

[@teresafarley3838]

Is there anything the girls can't do? Jeff and Rose, you guys are awesome parents! I love that you teach your girls to do so many things! Most kids only know how to work something electronic. These girls will be such strong women. I love watching your videos and your incredible family! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

[@drifterafloat]

I built houses for 20 plus years and I tell you I would hire your daughters to be part of a crew in a heartbeat. Not just because of what they already know but because of their proven ability to learn quickly. They would be running their own crews in no time.

[@yasminghani2073]

Your daughters are very hard working and very talented

[@summerland6397]

Amazing parents. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

[@tomhenry5870]

Amazing! Most adults cannot do what these young ladies do! Congratulations.You all should be very proud.

[@richardmercado6700]

I built many projects myself and people have said that they could have built it in half the time.But....I am a Safety Freak! It takes some time to go thru the checklist.Your girls thru your teachings,always wear the right clothing...eye and ear protection..gloves...harnesses...watch their surroundings and everyone around them. It does my heart good.You all are amazing and you might not even know it.Love your vids and have told my friends to Subscribe and Follow you guys!

[@maneuschwander6394]

I love watching your videos! You and your wife are excellent examples of parents raising their kids right. Thanks for sharing. Love to watch you encourage and tease your girls - they will become wonderful kind women. Thanks. You and Dave are also - Hi Larious!

[@snagger5299]

That is a accomplishment that you should be very proud of. Congratulations girls

Great job, girls!! Certainly shows that talent is not age-based nor gender-strong.

[@riyadkhan9747]

Hi I am a Bangladeshi citizen I watch your videos on a regular basis and I love your environment there are many beautiful plants, river hills and especially when the snow is not really a very wonderful thing to say, but your daughters are very beautiful, very sweet. I wish the children a beautiful future

[@budwilliams6590]

Rose is ABSOLUTLY the glue that holds this all together. Jeff might be the inspiration that drives it forward, but it only succeeds because of Rose and he girls.

[@toms6841]

Kudos to Rose for her on-screen diplomacy. Otherwise, I think she would have walked over and cuffed you one for the "dig" on helping. You're a lucky man the video was rolling. :)

[@avonleanne]

ammmmaaazzinggggg!!!! give them rent money and you will never see them again, but give them help to build their own place, and you will get to live next to them forever....BRILLIANT!!!

[@thoughtsfromathenasreality]

Awesome to prepare them for life the best way! Self sufficiency at its best!

[@mickemike2148]

How neat is THAT! The girls in your family are the BEST! Do they ever just sit in a couch, glaring a screen?

[@maxxonetwo3]

You are lucky to have hard working girls. Both of you must be very good parents. I make hickory rustic furniture and i can't even get young boys to read a tape measurement. Rick Lake George, NY

You're girls are doing things that few adult could do. I was a master carpenter most of my life , I'd hire a new carpenter in an afternoon they'ed start work the next morning in ten minutes their career as a carpenter would be over because they could not, after finishing high school, read a ruler. Did you ever see happier kids in your life. My hats off to you and your wife and your wonderful wonderful girls.

Dad's a goof, but he is a super caring goof - love how his concern for not falling off the post is followed by 'that would be super embarrassing"!! Wouldn't want to be too sappy about the love and concern for his girls - And what great life lessons from both Mom and Dad... can't put a price tag on that education, or the pride those girls have for jobs well done!

This family is about as awesome as it gets. Those girls are truly amazing you all must be so dam proud of them !

[@bobtexan592]

Well done girls !! Been in the building trades most of my life and try my best to hire women when I can. They typically are eager to learn, dont have any false egos/bravado to deal with and put in better days worth of labor than a lot of guys chasing a check. keep it up and I can easily see a company run by y'all .

This is just so awesome! See, I'm way older than these girls and I can't even handle the simplest of tools, & I'm just barely making the initiative in my home to make little things and make things happen in our garden (at least trying). I love these girls and the parents are just, wow!

[@bonbonsonstvagri-farmingfi7792]

It's amazing. I'm impressed. These girls are really amazing. I apologize but to be honest how I wish to have daughters same like Abby, Sarah and rest of their siblings. Aside from being adorable, they practically knows their individually responsibility in the family even with out a brother. Well, I have 3 sons aged 26, 23 and 17, but they don't even know how to make a dog house. Instead, they are just being fun of their gadgets after schools.

[@TBPollock]

The parents formed and molded their daughters, you had the same opportunity to do so with your sons.

[@bonbonsonstvagri-farmingfi7792]

@@TBPollock ..Yah, I agree. You nailed it. Unfortunately, I raised my three sons in an environment where a family is quite dysfunctional. I worked overseas for the last 26 years and therefore my kids (all boys) were raised all alone by my wife. It's a sad truth that I haven't enough opportunity to mold them accordingly in way that they can be of similar attitudes like this five girls. Being away from the family for a long period of time is absolutely bears negative or rather opposite effects in terms of attitude, guidance and well-being.

[@TBPollock]

@@bonbonsonstvagri-farmingfi7792 Like you, I spent too much time earning and not enough time nurturing my kids. I'm just as guilty. That's probably why we both admire these parents for raising the superb human beings that their children are.
