Trying To Beat Winter | Building Our Own DIY Tiny Home

[@mscharylee]

When you guys aren't posting, I am so grateful that I can go back in time and watch you in earlier posts. A day without your family is quite lonesome for me. I love your family so much.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Aww thank you! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

[@CynthiaVicario]

What a beautiful video. I’m so happy for your family. All you hard work is simply humbling. I was smiling throughout the entire video . The landscape of winter is so majestic. I’d have to commend you on the ending . Music was inspiring along with the visuals of fire burning in the winter backdrop. I’m just in awe of your journey .God bless your family .🙏🏽

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you, makes me happy you enjoyed it

The rectangular carpenter's pencils don't freeze and don't roll away when you set them down. Sharpen them with the small blade (pen blade) on your pocket knife.

[@robertjones7023]

Fun fact: Carpenters pencils are also used as measurement short cuts, ¼ inch thick x ½ inch wide. I once watched a documentary on carpenters pencils... Don't ask.

[@davidmcgregor4691]

You guys are living my dream. Please keep up these fantastic videos. We truly love following.

[@nancymayberry1900]

The evergreen trees look so pretty with snow on them. Your bathroom is looking very nice.

[@Stomby85]

There's no such thing as bad weather, Only unsuitable clothing. Once you figure that weather out you’ll be good.

[@mimicolvin3200]

Jeremy don’t look so down, you have accomplished a lot and it is awesome. The best is yet to come and you and Melissa can say”WE DID iT” a job well done. Melissa put on a cap or hoodie and some gloves to fight the bitter cold. The both of you take care and be safe. Luv you all from Alabama.

[@estaisadore6188]

Well said..

[@danetteloveslife832]

He did look down didn't he or tired, they're doing a good job its looking awesome 🌺

[@vmorganbogart]

Yes, everybody should wear hats. You lose a lot of heat through your head.

[@HeatherNaturaly]

You need to get yourself a snowmobile suit. They are AMAZING in the bitter cold... I practically lived in mine, in Michigan. Don't have a ton of use for it here in Tennessee..thank The Lord!, but it's nice for getting used to sudden dips in temperature before the Winter sets in.

[@ameliavernon3026]

Thank you for sharing your life with us, I really like the sheep. I am 70 now. I was raised on a farm, where we had sheep, goats, pegs and cows. Your show brings to my mind so many memories. Thank you.

[@ALZ2526]

Family time at my home with your family, Blessed we are with family.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

The snow looks beautiful 🤩 but my joints do not like the cold attached toy the snow!....I can let you in on a secret of mine....I am not ever going to build a shower, let alone a bathroom! My age is 73!......I really enjoy 😊 the children’s video....God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!.....thank you for sharing your family!

[@sonyagregory5711]

Hey that brush fire should warm the whole farm up! I love burning brush and twigs and old branches here at our farm. We sit around for hours tending the fire and talking and laughing! Mmmm! Marshmallows!❤😊🙏🙏🙏

[@gabrielmatthews1671]

Love all! Serve all! Love you all!

[@christophercummins5636]

Don't worry you are closer to the end good night thanks for sharing guys

[@carol-anntrudell9990]

Your children are so beautiful and well behaved. Your property is amazing. Waiting for the finish of the shower and see the joy on all your faces. God bless you all.

[@shirleytaylor186]

It is so beautiful there. We just remodeled our 1970’s bathroom. My husband is 79, it was what he consider his last major project. It turned out so nice, but it was a long process. Old is slow but sure.lol

[@pjbenne1]

I MISSED THE WINDOW LOL 63 retired nurse but I have chicks. that yes they are my divas But I finally done it and hubby built them a castle. LUCKY AND BLESSED TOO. Love your videos

[@marciaolson5708]

Awe, hang in there Jeremy! You’ve done an awesome job, both of you have! Take time to enjoy once in awhile, life is too short! Don’t spread yourselves too thin!

[@welderman1221]

YOUSE GUYS !! Please step back and admire what you have accomplished!! Excellence, thats what you have accomplished!! Great job!!

[@eleanorflynn370]

The bathroom is looking good and God willing you will all be able to shower in your cosy home . All the best

[@laurapadgett3552]

I’m so excited for you and your family! I can’t wait to see the happy dance when it is all finished! Stay warm!

[@chasviaud4123]

When you tile the shower area spray a mist of water on the cement board so the wall doesn't pull the moisture out of the mortar and not allow the tile to hold after a few hot showers.

[@SilverGoth]

Your shower looks so posh! It’s got that industrial look. I didn’t know there were so many steps to making a bathroom until I started watching home renovation videos. OMG! I am happy to throw money at that and let someone else do it. By the time you get around to building your forever home you will know how to do all of the things!

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

One of the most important lessons in life to learn is that everything is temporary...including life itself. So difficult times, bad weather, slowed progress, or having to live under difficult conditions is all temporary. It lasts only for a while until you find a way to overcome the problems or until something changes. So when you find yourself in a status that you aren't too happy about, just go with it and make the best of it as you work to overcome it. It truly wouldn't be all that bad to just "hunker down" for the winter months and take a bit of break from your constant construction. I understand that needs to happen after the bath is done but that will happen soon enough. Please give some though to relaxing by a warm fire, helping the kids with home school, and maybe doing something you enjoy during the indoors time you will be spending together during the winter. I have confidence you will be 100% better off come spring!

[@LadyJ5569]

The bathroom is really coming together and I can't wait to see the finished room. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you! God bless ❤

[@gabrielmatthews1671]

All in fun. You make me. Happy. And laugh.

[@jeanwillis6537]

Love watching your progress! And love watching your sweet kids!

[@lindascott2107]

You never cease to amaze me at all the things you guys do. Love watch the little ones out playing. I am 73 & my hubby I shovelling snow ❄ steady. But that's the way it is. You always make good video

[@littad7128]

Gorgeous video. What you Guys have achieved so far is Phenomenal. The place looks so picturesque with all the snow. Have a great weekend. 👍☘️💯💗👊

[@CynthiaVicario]

I agree 100%. It truly is phenomenal. What makes it even better is that they are good decent people . 🙏🏽👏🏽

[@estaisadore6188]

Yes... And yes!!!!

[@debbiew.7094]

Great video! I'm so glad for you both to almost be done! Enjoyed watching the big fire with you all! Stay safe and God bless you all. ☺❤☺❤☺❤☺❤☺❤☺❤

[@gingerreid8569]

The snow is gorgeous...but oh don't think we could live in it...so much for my dream of moving to Wyoming/Montana, lol...Wonder how much ,on average, is your winter snowfall? the bathroom is really just about done...know you will all enjoy the nice large shower with hot water! And those babydoll sheep...Lord, can't get any cuter! Stay safe and warm friends!

[@DHarri9977]

I'm sure you guys will be so glad to have a full functioning shower w/hotwater a cozy fire going in the living room area, hot cocoa, life will be good very soon. Bless you guys we are cheering you on from afar, stay safe and warm

[@stuartholden2652]

Best thing I can tell you to invest in is some Carhartt outer wear. The tight weave of the outer layer stops the wind very well. Because ya'll got some real winter headed your way starting in December and lasting at least till late February or March. Good luck and stay warm. Looking great so far, I was very happy to see Jeremy with a dust mask cutting the cement board.

[@cedarwoman2]

Just love to watch your videos. It is a blessing to see two people who love each other so much. Looking forward to seeing the bathroom finished. Have a blessed evening.

[@greatnews4041]

Viewing the close up of that pine tree with ice&snow I breathed it in; imagining the aroma of pine, what a relaxing feeling!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

❤

[@dianajean4837]

It's a very magical time of year on your homestead! That view just never gets old !

[@chelemichele1524]

👍 for being all closed in 🎉 Have a good evening 🍁🍁🍁

[@fisherus]

I just wanted to take a moment and commend both of you, for raising such well mannered, delightful children. If you folks haven't seen one of their oldest daughter's (Nevada Souza) videos, you are really missing out on something special. Not only is she adorably sweet in her interactions with her siblings, you see something that, sadly, is a rarity today, with children doing their chores proudly and being thankful for what they have got.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you, means the world!

[@littlewillowhomestead113]

Idaho native here., get use to the cold.. 32 heat pants and shirts are awesome.. lots of layers 😊

[@keithhogan6997]

Costco has the 32° wear of which I nabbed some of the bottoms and boy do they make a difference!

[@barbraallbritton3794]

Yeah! Almost done. Hope you both get a much needed break soon. Stay warm. Much aloha. You guys rock!💝💝💝💝

[@allanhover5008]

134 thousand subscribers outstanding love yaw all and kids as well please stay warm and safe too

[@mindi.m]

I am cheering you all on! It's so close 😊 Gorgeous footage and cool slo-mo fire shots.

[@cristinaferreira2230]

You are almost there with the bathroom one day at a time, I actually love grey and white in a bathroom great job.

[@normalara1417]

So happy you all are almost finished with the bathroom. Almost there for WARM SHOWERS!🥶☺ Watching the burning feld trees---Peaceful. God bless you all.🥰

[@monicalucius6993]

You 2 are awesome...your original home was beautiful your tiny home is phenomenal your log home will be fabulous....live your best life. You all deserve it. Blessings ....shalom

[@mcbinary]

A damp rag will smooth the edges and the lines of all that mud and save a crap load of time instead of sanding.

[@carleymay8681]

Your channel has come so far, as have the two of you! ❤️💪

[@maxinekelly8417]

The snow looks so pretty picture perfect view from the garage door. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️👍👍

[@sharonstuebi8181]

Fire like that scares me! Having a functioning indoor bathroom is a game changer!!!

[@gingerreid8569]

I loved seeing the slow-Mo on the fire, but also after all the fires over there...a nervous eye watching

[@JoshuaThomasVideos]

God has blessed you with the best yet to come.

[@nkrknl6443]

Besides having most of your work on KZbin video, I hope you both also journal/write things for your future grandkids on all you guys did to get to this wonderful homestead living!

[@kennaomelveny9216]

Yay for wonder board! Great job Jeremy, and of course You too Melissa! It really looks cold🥶

[@nessiekariuki5042]

View of snow looks good , I enjoy watching you ❤️❤️ God Bless you.

[@wayneh3021]

Smores time...thanks for sharin... The bathroom is nicely comming along 👍

[@caterchatter4671]

Finally some cool instrumentals while u were painting Melissa! The ballads,boo. :)

[@NaeSTay]

That crackling noise from the fire is so relaxing

[@colinblankenship2401]

Nice job you guys. Thanks for sharing

[@paulgamblin1860]

I very much prefer the mesh tape over the paper tape for sealing sheet rock joints. It is easier to use, and it stays in place better when mudding the joint.

[@leroybrown7757]

..100% agree melissa...a pearly slate grey subway tile would work ❤️ in that space.. nice to see things coming along stay toasty ☮️&🌱's-tracee

[@jimnorth5173]

Love the music, and your progress.

[@jakejacobs3895]

Another enjoyable video thanks again for taking us along on your journey

[@richardcalotta226]

Great job!!! Almost done!!!! Moving right along!!! I'm sure you all can't wait!!😀😀😀😀😀

[@bobbieyounce3851]

I'm excited for all your progress! Such a beautiful home!

[@mikeelwood8626]

Wow! You can see the finish line now! So happy for you.

[@dianamajchrzak5855]

Wow from framing the first wall to finishing the bathroom. What a journey! You both should be proud. God bless.

[@liula540]

Watching Trent and Allie along you guys, I’m looking forward to see which family beat winter 🥶 to finish their home. Mahalo nui!

[@topdrivejesus]

Sorry Melissa, but I hate pumpkin spice everything..... well almost everything. Love me some pumpkin pie. Oh, and really love y’all! Praying for y’all to be safe and warm this winter. The tiny home is looking awesome and I’m sure there will be many fond memories in that place.

[@elizabethbrooks4849]

Jeremy did outstanding work in the shower. Almost done. That fire was awesome, it will keep ya warm . Love a good fire. Very good video.

[@jameskennedy9655]

I think you know but I'm going to point out. It's a family, it's Mom, it's Dad, it's so rewarding, but it's hard, it's so filled with very special moments, but it's not easy. It's my children, it's my family that wants to send a very special thank you for sharing your adventure ❤️!

[@maxinekelly8417]

Love what you are doing in the bathroom it looks just perfect well done teamwork makes the dream work ❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@WonkyLambCrochet]

Its looks so magical, However i imagine how cold it is for you all. Not to much longer for hot showers in your new bathroom...

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Very cold, but absolutely beautiful 😍

[@vikimseruh4500]

Everything is looking good. Yall will get done. Snow looks so pretty. Her in Mississippi we haven't had a big snow in many years. I miss the knee deep snow! LOL! But that was like 40 or so years ago. You never know how much you miss something until it goes away. I miss SNOW!

[@barbaranardone]

God Bless You All stay safe.

[@leatherbycrowfoot]

Good job Jeremy. It may be cold outside but stay warm inside. And the job you did on the bathroom you two is fabulous. The money you are saving by doing it yourselves is monumental. Here in Canada the cost of a bathroom is probably around 15 to 20 thousand dollars. So job well done. Keep up the good work!

[@lieuwina]

What a beautiful scenery with the snow. I love the way the sheep come to see what you doing to muriel (I think that is what you called her). Love your dog. The bathroom is coming on nicely. Have a great week-end .

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Miss Myrtle

[@josannefromin7750]

Again and again you are so working all the time....this is absolutely wonderful..............thanks for your beautiful music and the videos are a great content......Love the sheets also you love them a lot.......thanks to remind us the at we are loved

[@chasviaud4123]

This may be after the build but, I always put nails in the upper tab of the board then put nails in the lower section of the board, this way only the lower nails needed caulking, the tab nails are hidden by the next board. The mini house (garagedominion) is almost done then weather permitting the real house can start. Good luck, I've loved watching your videos and know the feeling on not knowing how to do something, thank God for KZbin & DIY.

[@carylfontaine3640]

Once again..I love your channel due to the awesome content..love it ♡ All of these videos will your resumes when you finally or before the tiny house is finished!! A family of many talents and a willingness to learn and your are a wonderful role model for your precious children ♡ Respectfully yours, Caryl ♡

[@carlottawalker6185]

I have been waiting forever to see this snow. Beautiful. By the way. Love the music.

[@kennethrobertson5428]

With mud, the less you put on at each step will save the sanding till the end...

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

You’re moving right along with the bathroom, won’t be long !! Thanks for sharing with us, you have a wonderful family. 👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nancymattix4599]

You're almost there! I'm sure you're exhausted and ready to have that bathroom done. The scenery is spectacular. Enjoyed the video.

[@glengillis7775]

Good job. Enjoy the snow. We are all getting some now. Your house is looking good

[@randyfredricksen5963]

Enjoying the little things in life like seeing the last bit of insulation covered up...then remembering this is just the temporary quarters. Gotcha..lol

[@jamesroger5176]

Good to see that everything is coming together for you guys. When it comes to drywall you never have to sand it. Just use a dampened sponge to take off any excess. This way you don’t have to deal with the dust and it is just as affective. Good bless y’all

[@JC-uq5gi]

The slash pile footage was cool. Thanks for sharing this with us guys! It's just about there.

[@jamesgivan2567]

The bathroom is looking good you guys will be done before all the holidays and you guys can relax

[@karlfair]

Good solid progress. It looks like a shower built for two.

[@02271953me]

Yay, no more insulation - nice work! You have snow. We in W Wa have the expected wind, drizzle and damp, grey skies. Boo. It's gloomy here. Love watching your home come together!

[@faithbuller4086]

We bought a 680 sf cabin in the mountains of Colorado. We totally remodeled 🏡 it. It was a learning process for us too. We had my parents come to help, they were our version of How To - KZbin💖 🧰💰🔨. My Mom took care of our 18 month old Sweet girl while the rest of us worked. It went into the early winter there too. We had a very inefficient little wood stove in the living room that we kept burning all the time. You are doing great. 👏🏻

[@wkjeom]

Just sayin', the little guy is so absolutely adorable. So sweetly innocent. Good wishes getting that bathroom fully functional. Nice warm showers will ne so welcome.

[@rosegarcia5069]

Hard working man there...can't wait for it to be finished..

[@cynthiawalston2851]

Good job building you're own 🏠 that alot of work amazing all pay off do time 🙂

[@amychisholm4962]

Like how its coming along.

[@susanr791]

Minneapolis is having its 3rd winter. What! I know! First snow in September, 2nd in October and now a 3rd this past week! I’ve been working - I’m behind. The sheep are beautiful. Best wishes on the bathroom completion!

[@gloriatwiggs467]

After Hurricane Katrina. I arrived home to find that there had been 18 inches of sewer water in the house. My home was under insured so I learned and bout 20 giant totes and a how to book at the Home Depot and met a dear man who had purchased a chain saw and needed work. I used fiberglass tape on the sheetrock seams and learned at 60 how to tape and float it. I learned that when it is dried a bit to use a damp large sponge to smooth it instead of sandpaper. Less dust for my Asthma. I also was advised to get the sheetrock coated with fiberglass instead of paper which is food for termites. I was also saved from Chinese Drywall which in Louisiana destroyed copper pipes. The Lord protected me from the crooks as I worked as a civilian at the police dept and saw many folks cheated. I am loving your channel and watching your family. Blessings to you and yours.

[@gloriakoch4242]

Love the color and patterning of your shower walls. It was so nice of you to put a bench in there for those of us who need. It is a little small though. You will make a bigger one for the big house I am sure. We will all be up there soon to try it out for you. Please be sure to have enough hot water!

[@jimserhant7741]

Another great video. Thank you for taking the time to produce & share such great content. I must admit, I guess I am part of the 1%. I literally strongly dislike anything pumpkin spice. I don’t like using the word “hate” either 😊

[@merlinrussell9856]

Our son and daughter in law recently bought a home to fix up. I got elected to do the bathroom. I can't believe that you guys stayed sane doing the plumbing. Often wished you lived in Nova Scotia, Canada. There would have been an opportunity for employment 😁. Take care. Love you guys.

[@donmartin7728]

May have to talk to your neighbor and see if the hemp or biodegradable twine will work with his bailer. If the cost is more you could help offset the cost so your animals do not ingest the nylon twine. Not being tree huggers, just trying to keep the digestive tract clear.
