Massive Progress on the 64x40 Barn Build & All Windows in Our Home Addition

[@jennylittle6852]

Barn looks fantastic and the GABBY looks complete with all the windows. Can't believe all the progress that has been made on both buildings in the last week! Prayers for Little Debbie that she turns out to have no problems.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much 💓

[@kathyanderson1509]

Hoping little Debbie is ok . GABBY is looking so different 😊. The barn is beautiful

[@yrbuddy77]

@@GoodSimpleLiving As for idea on barn for the space, I have one. You guys should create your own brand, you can register it with state of Idaho and brand your horses / sheep if wanting with it as well. Just google how to register own brand for horses in Idaho and there is a one page form to fill out with the State of Idaho. Anyways that's my idea.

[@RltnspdEMA]

Again you guys amaze me! One building goes up and is literally almost finished you guys put the windows on Gabby and things are really happening! We're praying Little Debbie and your family. We're praying Debbie has no problems and that you and your family have a great time and enjoy your lives! And your daughter camping out in literally in your backyard in her car was hilarious! They reminded me of some of my exploits when I was younger. Jeremy probably remember some of his! Can't wait to see you next weekend can't wait to hear of your exploits on Wednesday too. Keep smiling, always!

I love the night sky time lapses, you can see so clearly. Making good progress.

[@bethweber8648]

You guys are hilarious! Wrong size opening, “How did that happen?” And then the kid’s Loser all the way back down! That’s something my family would totally do!

[@pstrand84]

I would have your Good Simple Living logo cut out of steel by CNC shop to hang on your barn.

[@katygarza-bair4163]

Our barn is so old but we don’t have the free $$ for it to be demolished or rebuilt. Our family has been on this land for two generations and we just bought it from the eldest sister in our family. I dreamt of this place every deployment and because of my mother’s gift we could afford my “happy place.” It is amazing that you all can manage all of this. No doubt it is a lot of work, but no doubt it is the kind of tired that lets you fall fast asleep at night.

[@PaullaWells]

Kaimani's loser sign at his dad had me rolling. Too funny! And then Nevaeh in the door window above her dad just about did me in. I love y'all's goofiness. So so glad to see the transom windows being framed out. The barn looks so good already!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

They are so goofy

[@karenlee6501]

I loved that too. Cheeky Munchkins 😂

Wow that got that barn built fast. I hope Debbie is okay. Everything is coming along.

[@thereseramey7743]

Praying Debbie is ok!🙏🙏

[@maryhart637]

Hahaha...@4:24: Kamani's secret sign😂😆 Woohoo!! Barn and Gabby nearing being dried in🙌🙌 Another milestone in the rear view mirror❤️❤️❤️ Hoping for good news on Debbie🤞🙏🤞

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you 😊

[@southernparadise9896]

Debbie looks like she has what is known as hay belly. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not caused by overeating hay. It’s caused by overly mature, fibrous hay. I hope her vet visit reveals it’s nothing more serious than that. That’s an easy fix. The barn looks great btw. I’m a tad jealous because mine isn’t quite as large 😂 Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. 😊

[@speliotis]

will you need a door & a wench to lift bails of hay to the loft in the barn? The Windows being installed make a huge difference !!! Looking Great... Blessings for the health of your horses....

[@joesmucker8012]

Kudos to your construction crew for helping you, both projects looking fine.....Have a grand day.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

My gosh those windows look nice. It’s good to see all the progress. Hope Debby is alright. Praying for a good outcome. Glad all your windows are in so you can continue inside. The barn looks great. Just love watching you guys.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@heidipustelniak652]

Wow! That barn went up fast! It will be so nice for the horses this winter. Anxious to hear how Debbie’s checkup turns out.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

This week!!

[@erbie-wan521]

Me too!

[@scottamaral5073]

Me too.

[@lindaschewe8136]

[@georgew8586]

Having that lift available really made a difference in getting the windows installed, plus them helping on the last window was really nice. I’m thinking you own them some barbecue brisket sandwiches, or something for a nice lunch.

[@carminjean5042]

You're so blessed to have a partner to do these projects with

[@wolscheline]

wow that barn is up in no time, glad they were so nice to help you with the big window. Cross my fingers for Debbie that it is nothing serious and she will be ok. Also crossing and praying for the fires that they don't will harm your place. 🍀🍀🍀🍀👍💖🐴

[@shelliregnier1712]

It's amazing to see how fast they put that barn up! I like the ideas of the wild horses metal thing, that would be cool. Hope Debbie is ok. Stay safe with all that smoke and heat. Have a great week! See you Wednesday!

[@ORSkie]

I second the wild horses idea.

[@speliotis]

I like your AG1 ice cubes. Happy Labor Day -

[@allanamello5652]

Wow. Your land, home, buildings are beautiful. The majestic landscape is stunning. I have enjoyed watching your channel now since watching Jeremy retire. I am very happy that over the years your videos have stayed the same style of filming and haven’t felt the need to change it. I love your inspiring words at the ending. The kids have grown and are amazing. I love how they pitch in to help. You can tell they love and our proud of you and your home. I wish more families could have the opportunity to have this style of closeness as yours. I think our country would be in such a better place. Thank you all for sharing your special moments with us all. I look forward to your weekly videos. Be safe and hopefully the fires are not near to you all. Now it’s time for Manny and his ladies to get a crib. : D I am a huge sheep fan Manny is a cutie and I love his curiosity of everything going on. I hope for Debbie’s health/weight change is nothing serious, you can see Keira loves her so much. Until the next video. A big hug coming at ya from Vegas.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much 💓

[@maryfry698]

I SO love your wild horse thought above the barn. Don't forget the horseshoe above the door for luck and prosperity 😊

[@petepedroraymondmesa7827]

Now you can store your straw/hay in the new horse barn instead the polebarn.

[@rudyfisher7660]

Also, the nice thing about that big barn. You can put water tanks on the backside. Put it gutters on the upper level. The bottom level you got 4 places. You can put gutters on there that you could actually fill up some water tanks. And what are the animals with without having to use water out the wheel? I'll just spell you might think about that.

[@dlspiritdancer9548]

I think you're on to something there. Great idea. Always nice to have water near your barn.

[@farmchick1464]

We do this on our's. Fill stock tanks as well as water storage tanks that we use in summer!

[@tracyphillips6027]

We always had a rafter swing in the barn. Tons of fun for kids.

[@michaelwilliams7481]

That barn is getting even more impressive, you could keep giraffes in there with room to spare. Windows looking good, that static is shocking. I hope the horse is okay. Love from Mike. ❤

[@BlueClydesdale]

Barn looks great! I noticed you've got alot of poop in the paddock. It's a good idea to pick it all and start a manure pile. You'll have manure for your garden and keeping the paddock clean will help alot with flies.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

We drag the field 3x a year

[@lauraquigley6403]

So Happy to see your strong son helping lift windows so Melissa doesn’t have to! Everything look’s great with Gabby & the barn😊Could you let us know about Debbie’s health this week? Praying for lil Debbie!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@carlapierle8623]

That's crazy how quickly they were able to raise that barn! It's humongous! Prayers that they can diagnose and treat sweet Debbie! The garage/apartment is looking great, too!

[@juliederry3719]

T barn is looking amazing guys, hope there’s nothing too serious with Debbie Melissa and everyone take care because of the wildfires, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

[@taniadevilliers348]

Jeremy’s builds have been by far the most efficient in planning and execution in all of the YT builds I watch. One starts taking the high standard and lack of mistakes for granted. It was odd to see a miscalculation, but good to see we are all just human. Well done to everyone for the excellent progress, and wishing Debbie good health.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Wow, thank you 😊

[@damentherk]

Before Bonners Ferry was Bonners Ferry, it was called the Wild Horse Trail. Not sure if you have checked out the Boundary County Museum yet, but they have some cool history about the area and it’s equestrian past that may tie into the barn theme you are pondering. There is also a neat history sign up 95 in the Round Creek Prairie area as you head towards Good Grief, which has a great restaurant you have hopefully tried.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

That's so cool!!

[@sarahpage7246]

It's all coming together so amazingly 🤩 So glad the horses will have a proper shelter before the Idaho snow sets in.

[@hschultz123]

I'm sure you have thought of this, but. Move the drywall into the addition before installing the last window. Beautiful work

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@WayneWatson1]

Put something metal in your hands and touch it to the window and let the static discharge from the metal piece to the window, cause that's what hurts. It doesn't hurt if you do it like that 😁 The barn looks awesome. I always wanted a house shaped like the barn or one of the 6 peak barn shapes (Dutch style?). I just like the design. I know, I'm crazy 😁 Hope all goes well with Little Debbie. God bless you all and keep you safe

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you 😊

[@beckiesmith5095]

Everyone is such hard worker's, you ALL impress me. Everything is looking so beautiful, Gabby is coming right along, and the barn, WOW. Nice that the company building the barn let you borrow the lift, God blesses those that are a blessing to others. Will be keeping Little Debbie in prayer, for all of your sake, but mostly Kira. God bless all of you in all you do. You are an inspiration to many others. Plus thank you for the beautiful stars and the dark skys you show us Melissa, don't get those stars here. Makes me want to move out there, only not your winter's.

[@naturenut7695]

Everything's looking great. Sure hope Little Debbie is doing okay. I love your idea for the barn. I was thinking maybe a silhouette of your entire property as if you're looking at it from a distance with a horse is standing in it, and the sheep. Maybe a view like from your driveway. It could cover most of that area.

[@gingercoffey9236]

My favorite part of Saturday! Hope Little Debbie is okay 🙏. I love seeing Kenji supervising❤️

I love the Homestead coming together. Remember where you came from and what you have now is the difference of two worlds. The kids have grown like weeds, your garden is glowing with food. The only thing that hurts me is the Rabbits, I could never raise them, kill them, then eat them. They are so precious to me. So much going on. I hope Debbie is ok, let the smoke disappear with no danger to your beautiful home. Love ❤️ your life, your family. God has been so good.

[@jimcoplan9502]

More progress. Great job

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

Well that's serious progress, on the barn you should just put your logo on it as well. The gabby build is getting there, almost closed in. Stay hydrated as possible, the smoke is coming from the hundreds of fires in Canada, it's really sad. Adding with the global warming, it is making it hot everywhere, at least the nights are beginning to cool. That's really nice of you letting that young lady stay in her car, and then taking her in like family. Have a blessed week amen.
