Great that Nevaeh still chooses to spend holidays with the family instead of going with her friends. Learning the importance of family at a young age is so important because those are the people who should be with you through thick and thin.

[@gemigirl5521]

Oh my! That brief shot of the pup with his head out of the window was precious!

[@ibMoose2u]

I instantly started crying with the shot of Eli and the puppy sitting with Kenji, both amazingly cool and sad. 😢

[@kathleenturley1561]

What a beautiful life you have created for your family. That mountain shot.......incredible. That darling lucky puppy Ludo...precious.....to come to such a wonderful family...to live in this great country...priceless. You are one fortunate family indeed.

[@objectionhearsay2415]

Hey guys I noticed something with Eli during this video and thought I should report this to you. Twice in different scenes I noticed his left shoulder hung slightly lower than the right. This might be nothing but it could also be something like his spine developing a curve. Maybe you can check him out and see if you can see what I noticed. I promise I’m not being all over dramatic. Noticing stuff like this was apart of my job in rehab and residential trainer. I care.

[@j.p.9295]

This puppy 🐶 is perfect addition to your family . Fits in like a glove . 😏

[@doottles5445]

Thank you for being a PROUD AMERICAN FAMILY! we celebrate the 4th here in the state where it all started!

[@Messymy]

Years, decades ago, had this short, blocky, kind of grissly older guy deliver a Sears refrigerator. Only about eight steps. By himself. He unboxed the fridge and literally carried it with a massive bear hug move. I was awe struck.

[@dianne11ca]

Lol Good story!

[@boysrus61]

I have 6 sons. One by one they moved out. Now that hubs is retired and we live in our 4-ever home and are renovating and doing yard construction etc. ohhhhhh how I miss the muscles and height of my sons! It is looking great. What a wonderful place for your newly adult children to transition into.

[@JML542]

Yes!! We miss those muscles with our 4 guys, too!

[@dalandamcgee8752]

Seeing Jeremy run through the rain and thinking " no more tracking mud into everything". Everything looks great.

[@beckypage6041]

You couldn’t have picked a more perfect puppy for your family 😊 He just screams FUN! Take care

[@beverlyt.5526]

He Is Soooooo Adorable ❤!!!

[@tracybruring7560]

haha i was going to post this too

[@flyinthebug35]

Ludo is just so damn cute!! Enjoy him as much as you can while he is little, because he`ll be full grown before you know it. Love the countertops in Gabby, and the place really looks amazing. We have been having thunderstorms every day for the past 4 days late at night. It has been a crazy heat wave up here with temps reaching +35c (93f) during the day and with no air conditioning, it's been uncomfortable and difficult to sleep...so the late-night thunderstorms have been a welcome cool down. Today is much cooler and sunny so I have to get outside and cut 6 acres of grass. Have a great week guys and as always, sending love from our acreage to yours.

[@lennyclark7014]

The apartment is coming along great, love the pup. He’s definitely fitting into the family and the farm life.

[@reapwhatyousow3383]

love how everything is going!! its crazy how when those certain flowers appear for a split second, we all know its Kenji's spot!!

[@frenchysandi]

Bubbles and puppies that’s adorable. The new kitchen is amazingly beautiful.

[@petetuck6095]

..one day, we here in Scotland, will celebrate an Independene day too..

[@colleencourtney4484]

Yes you will! Amen to that! All Nations will have their version of the Constitution

[@carolbuckalew4518]

Love seeing the progress on the apartment! Your new pup is fitting right in. I love how laid back he is!

[@cathybechtel4376]

Always love your videography! You should make the video at 4:31 of the horses and the mountains a photo! Absolutely beautiful!

[@lindamangoldbooth7789]

What a great puppy! I hope he realizes the wonderful life he has ahead of him.

[@fantasticfamily5004]

Your build of Gabby ❤! Puppy 🐶 , Ludo. Adorable. Kiddos are growing and coming into their own! And you Both an Inspiration. What we say in our family big hugs, From our Family to yours 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@mandy762]

Your videos fill my heart with Joy! Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. Puppy is growing quickly! Such a good boy! I kind of had an Oh Gosh moment with him at fireworks but he handled everything so well.

[@donnab9015]

One of my favorites 😅

[@ima40schic]

so now I just watch to see Ludo. haha Absolutely adorable!!! Renting a boat is the best thing ever, since owning one is like having a hole in the water you pour money into. I love renting pontoon boats for the day, so fun! The apartment is looking great! :)

[@Bossladyone2]

God was smiling down on your family when he directed you to this wonderful puppy. How cool is your bikes vs horses rodeo? You are *Living the Good Life*

[@tinalafever1756]

I just gotta say you all have the cutest supervisor and farm hand ever. I can't believe how fast your he is growing.

[@TerriSpringer]

Your home looks like a beautiful park. All the hard work is paying off. Thank you for sharing.

[@jenniferward5216]

My how times have changed. I grew up washing dishes and will never get used to dishwashers😊

[@naturenut7695]

Another awesome video. Nothing like a great day on the lake. As always thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@darcyzulick2118]

So cute to see your puppy enjoying your celebration and his celebration for his first year of life. My puppy also went with us to celebrate Independence Day and she was wonderful she was never scared. She knew she was safe with her family .

[@jasmineb5697]

Ludo ur just a burst of cuteness 🥰.Love the copper faucets looks good with the dark color as well. The fam is almost to the finish line...looking so good Melissa and Jeremy and ur playful antics 😀. ❤ blessings and love❤

[@angiewarren6045]

OMG! Ludo is the cutest puppy in the world! He puts a smile on my face every week! The apartment is looking so good! Melissa, you are so good at picking things out! Have a great weekend everyone!

[@jeffreylocke8808]

What a satisfying feeling wrapping up the build.

[@johndoyle6697]

Hi guys. You still get frost in july. Time to build 1 or more 4 season greenhouses to avoid the headaches of loosing your crops. Look for a good design that you can adapt to your situation. Adapt and overcome.

[@cindyleasure6901]

I soooo enjoy your videos! The hard work as well as the laughing and family time. And a special puppy to make it complete again! He's getting so big and he's fun to watch!

[@bbakus8]

I have quartz countertops and have found the only thing that stains mine is curry. I was able to quickly remove the stain with a soft scrub; but it was scary at first. Now I'm very careful not to get any curry on it.

[@mjnorman1958]

Your family makes me smile bigly! That puppy fills my heart! ❤❤❤ He’s getting so big.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

😃

[@jimc5790]

Congrats on going over a half million subs!

[@rkeefer58]

It's coming together nicely! Love your new Dog such a cute puppy 😁 really like Eli's cowboy hat! 🇺🇸

[@russse2793]

You gave it your all on the fridgemerator, but it was awesome you were able to get some reinforcements. Love watching the family dynamics in play, as it makes good Saturday morning television for so many. May God continue to bless the journey, and your family. Thank you my fellow believers in Christ.

[@dorotheaisserstedt9238]

Heute war es mein besonderes Erlebnis, Eure Berge zu sehen, so schroff und doch so majestätisch anzuschauen.........und so nahe. Wünsche Euch weiterhin viel Freude am Bau. Und nachträglich herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Nationalfeiertag.

[@torashwells4378]

Hiya, I am from the UK. We have just returned from Oregon after attending a family wedding. We were there for the 4th July and as a Brit we were surprised by how many USA citizens were all ready to party and celebrate the 4th July but didn't know what the celebration was for. When we told them it was Independence, they did not believe us. I feel sure that would have been taught in your schools??? I await your video every Saturday and very much enjoy your content. So far you are the only USA channel I follow that calls the 4th July by its correct title, Independence Day👋

[@i.r.wayright1457]

Schools? We don't have schools, we have indoctrination centers. That's why Melissa home schools her children.

[@southerngrits]

It was taught in school. Who knows now.Florida teaches it in school. Florida the freedom state .

[@josephinebustos8074]

Many Americans are lazy to learn and inattentive. It is taught in school what’s the reason of why July 4th is celebrated every year. It’s the same for the other holidays. I’m a naturalized citizen and I know why. It’s not just Americans. Many people around the world are quite ignorant of many things. Ask majority of them about social media and they’re experts on topics of mediocrity.

Watching Ludo watch so intently as the kids do things & follow them is so precious. I'm so excited for y'all get the last things done in the addition.

Stunning shot of the horses against the mountain backdrop. Paradise!😍🇨🇦

Another great episode ... I so enjoy viewing them. Your adventures, your family, your new puppy ... you give us a short break from reality and remind us of all the things that are good in this world.

Good morning to my beautiful family.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Good morning!

[@DavidSkeen-lf6kt]

Good afternoon to a great family on the internet. I'm a retired otr driver and I've been in 42 of the lower 48 and I've driven the Canadian Hyw from British Columbia all the way to Nova Scotia. I really enjoy watching you guys on my 10 hour rest break. Be safe in climbing on those tall ladders. From a retired man that's 76 years old and enjoying retirement in my golden years

[@paulalougee3202]

Well done! The celebration looked perfect. Appreciate all that you share. The build feels like each of ours…..yet…..we only used our eyelid muscles to help support the journey 😂 Thanks for allowing us to see every step. Happy Belated Independence Day.

[@derektowery8884]

We just completed the IDBDR. We were in Porthill on Saturday. Luckily missed all the weather.

[@heidipustelniak652]

Everything is looking so great! The pup is growing so fast!

Am I the only one who noticed the big black widow under the counter at 9:33 - or the huge bug on the counter at 10:01? The puppy is getting BIG! Loved the fireworks /ending. Bless myoumguys. ❤

[@denisegleason4895]

I also thought that was a Black Widow-body shape.😱 I went back to see it several times to make sure. That's one arachnid I don't deal with. 😖

[@dennislesh2374]

I spent many, many hours on Pend Oreille Lake. It's good to see the old girl again.........thanks.

Just love your new "furbaby" He's such a good fit in your family! My back is aching for you guys trying to get that refrigerator up the stairs. What a busy life you have!

[@n6cid]

Wow Navaeh turning 18, where did the time go!

[@jeffgauthier3413]

I lol with that shot of your pup with his fur and ears waving in the wind! Kind of like a commercial with the gals hair blowing in the wind advertising for a sports car!😅😅 Your family is inspiring to say the least! What you've accomplished so far in building your home is incredible but more importantly you're building memories not only for your family but for everyone watching! This is what God,family and fun will result in. Always keep smiling! You are incredible!! The world needs your example terribly!! Thank you for sharing! Simply amazing to watch!!

Gabby is looking great and I love the counter tops with the copper faucet that is perfect together. Ludo is growing so fast and exploring everything. Glad you got help to get the refrigerator upstairs and was able the enjoy the 4th of July on the water. Hope you all will have an awesome weekend and looking forward to the next video!!

[@CoffeeWalksandWhatever]

Good morning! Looks like your weather is as bad as ours. We had a snow storm in May, and lots of rain and wind all spring. Now we’re into the hot weather and more rain! It sure makes working on a house challenging. Have a great week! ☕️🇨🇦☕️

[@Cathilamb]

I have a composite sink in my kitchen, I love it! Everything looks so beautiful ❤

When we upgraded a few things appliance wise in the kitchen a few years ago, we went with a Samsung stove and microwave as well. Both are stainless steel and the stove has a flattop cooking surface as well. Momma is very pleased so far.

I can say is that I am jealous of everything you guys has accomplished and all of you has been an amazing source of motivation for me the past weeks and given me strength to keep on fighting during the hard time me and my family currently goes through, I want to give you all my gratitude and ask you to keep on going with the amazing work, keep sharing it with the world so people like me can find the motivation to fight another day!
