Melissa, I find myself really enjoying the little narratives you add to the end of your videos. You have a lovely speaking voice. You could do voiceovers, or tape audio books. I know that people have said that about Jeremy....and yes, he absolutely has a lovely speaking voice as well (but don't let him read this, it might go to his head). :) I'm amazed at how much work you've done in the past year or so. Your barndominium is absolutely lovely. Your future houseguests are very lucky. But your new house is really shaping up nicely. I enjoy watching it progress. I'm a senior woman, but when I was your age I would not have been able to accomplish all that you've done. You guys are showing your kids, through your actions, the benefits you reap by hard work....and yet you still prioritize fun for your kids, and caring for your animals. It's a very rare attribute.

No you won't forget the struggles, BUT every time you look out that front wall you will smile and enjoy the view even more for the struggle and the knowledge that YOU DID THIS!!! Take a couple of hints from someone who has lived in the southwest all my life. Lighter colors, long sleeves, wet yourself down and allow the clothing to work like an evaporative cooler. PUT ON A HAT it may not seem like much but that little bit of shade is worth it. Put a rag of some kind in the crown of the hat, next to your head, that has been wet down. AMAZING difference. So amazed at just how persistent and still in good spirits you two are. Can't wait for the next installment to see the progress. God bless

[@maodonimega]

Building in Portugal...couldn't agree more with everything you said. Constant wetting down creates your own bearable microclimate. I keep a jug and a bucket full of water right next to where I'm working, and pour it over me. Lightweight, white long sleeve t shirts, wide brim hat. ( Works well for kids with a high fever too) Aren't they amazing though?!!

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

Black roof will mean a very hot inside of the house in summertime. Not a good choice in my opinion. I paint all my roofs an off white color and install reflective barriers on the underside of the roof. I will hate to see their power bills when they turn on a/c the first time.

Woo hoo, it`s coming along! With that black roof, it will make the inside hotter, of course, during summer and during winter snow season the black roof will heat up and let the snow slide off very fast at times. So you will want to take that into consideration when placing decks with railings and stairs, A.C. condensers, etc. Also you might want to watch "The Build Show" by Matt Risinger from Texas. He has alot of vids on insulating. I have to stop whining when it gets 88 and the wind stops blowing. lol I`m from Ill. and Wi. and still not used to the hot days in Hawaii. Take care

Use the lift to get the wood on top of the pantry since it is still open at the back and work on that in the shade. Also work on the framing back there. That way you can use the lift the sheath while it is still there. Another suggestion would be to get the boys to help install the front doors before they leave if possible. If I remember correctly, it took four people to load and you are going to need at least four people to unload and lift up to install.

Never push for progress by forgetting your health, I worry for y'all! That heat is insane, you're hotter than my part of Oklahoma. Take care of yourselves and y'alls precious babies.

[@fpoiana]

The house is coming along amazingly! So beautiful!! I'm so thankful that you guys are sharing all this with us! :) And it doesn't end until we hear Melissa hugs us with her words! :) Cheers from Argentina. Fede

[@juliejones7358]

So looking forward to this. Hi from the U.K. it’s a lot cooler here, so I don’t mind you sending a little heat our way if it helps. 👍🏻 It’ll be snowing or raining before you know it.

[@karenwoodward9659]

i love the black. that carved bear entrance on the post thats suppose to be a joke is a really good idea really. that would be sooo awesome. wow-its still so light out there at 8pm.and wow-its sooo hot there so early in the morning like 7am. crazy. 110 degrees i cant even imagine.

I've been in roofing for almost 30 years, triple digits and black roofing is nothing to mess with! Sent more than one guy to the hospital! We used to get pool passes and roof till noon and go to the pool! Good luck!

I bet if you weren't thinking about having AC in the house previously, you are now. 🤣 Did y'all find a window unit for the tiny home? I hope so for y'all's sake. This heat is brutal. It's trying hard to kill my garden. Ugh.

[@denisewilson8367]

They said they were going to go in and enjoy the cool air, @Paula Wells. So, I would take it from that comment that they did.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Yes! AC in the main house. We didnt find a unit for the tiny home though. It was rough!

[@PaullaWells]

@@GoodSimpleLiving - I can imagine! I'd be just miserable. Ugh

[@russellwatters5891]

The heat is terrible, especially in the west. The best thing you could've had them do is get down off the roof. A 5 gallon Igloo, and water ran over their heads and shoulders helps too. Hydration and rest is a way to help with the heat. Coming to you from hot, humid, Florida!! Nice roof color btw...

[@drozone3658]

Long sleeve loose shirts so sun doesn’t hit your skin and evaporate your sweat instantly. The Latinos are the best with the heat so I started watching them about 10 years ago when I moved to Texas

What could possibly be more satisfying than building your own house, with your own hands, and eating food from your own garden? NOTHING! p.s. - Drink LOTS of water!

[@funnyfarmdad9997]

Melissa, don’t ever forget how difficult it was building during the heat wave. It’ll make you appreciate the homestead even more.

[@jeriholdren1780]

I am totally impressed with your build!

[@dickhumble4610]

I helped my Dad with the roofing business and we had some hot days when we couldn’t work during the middle of the day, but never over a hundred. My hats off to both of you sticking it out to do what needed to be done

[@dianefanning9646]

That front porch is going to be amazing!! Sitting out on a warm summer night in rocking chairs.😊 I love the idea of bear cubs climbing the posts.❤ Wondering how Jeremy works in the heat with long sleeves.😏

[@donnaalgren123]

You poor dear people! I was out mowing the lawn last week and was inwardly complaining about the heat - it was 92. I thought I had every right to complain, but now I realize compared to what you've been battling, that 92 wasn't as bad as it could be. I have always been totally bothered by heat, so I don't know how you kept going! Please don't overdo when it's that hot. Of course I realize you are intelligent adults and know what to do, but I just don't want harm to come to you! Good job on what you've achieved! Your house is really looking good! It will be beautiful when you're finished!

[@cathleencaratan3373]

Never give up on your hot, sticky, stupid dreams. Looks good.

[@bobjob3632]

Sometime stupid looks good!

[@darlene2421]

I know the feeling of heat.. I’m in lower Michigan and the humidity here has been horrible.. stay hydrated

[@Annie-so3cb]

I'm in the upper peninsula of Michigan high today was 55 degrees.

[@billwellman7380]

Love the NASRO shirt! Being an SRO was the most rewarding job I’ve had in law enforcement!!!

[@N4trurh]

I live in the PNW and it’s been brutal. I can’t imagine being out in that. We PNW’ers are so not used to this.. we got that one crazy day of rain here also.. so strange. I couldn’t even walk my dog due to the heat of the sidewalks. We stayed in !! So proud of you guys
