ICF Mountain Homestead: Stacking the First Floor Insulated Concrete Forms

[@clyoul3ss819]

Your wife's videos taught me the basics to canning that I always need to know before I used my canner. (Was afraid it would be a bomb) Happy for you guys and your new house/homestead!

[@debbiehall3759]

clYOUl3ss Yes, Jaime’s canning videos game me the courage to start canning over two years ago. Also, her video on creating a one year pantry was such an inspiration that I could do it too!! Just wish I had a basement like the one they had at their other house!!

[@Penny-bt4gc]

You guys are moving along quickly. So exciting to see the walls going up. Praying for good weather so you can stay on track. Thanks for sharing your video. Looking forward to seeing the progress. 😊

[@augustreil]

Only a suggestion, but on your burning barrel, take a grinder with a 4 or 6'' cutting wheel and cut some V vents. 4 around the center and 4 around the bottom. I have had burning barrels for 45 years and in 10 minutes, yours would work 1000 times better.

[@jerrygibs8120]

Your family has come a great distance of progress. I know that you are glad to see it happening. Plz keep the videos coming. Thanks for keeping it real. Love y'all. Blessings...☝🙏👉...

[@soggysuzzi1123]

So sorry hearing about your friend's illness. This is a real wake up call to rethink the necessity for having decent health insurance and yearly health check ups for all of us. Thanks for helping another family. This must have been very difficult for both of you. Great to see more walls going up and congrats on your new boots, etc.. You are absolutely teriffic on finding the great saves. Glad to see your success on both counts.

New to your channel, loving it from our little homestead in wisconsin@

This world is simply better by you being in it. Keep doing your doings.

[@rootsrocksfeathers1975]

My friends, how satisfying to see it really taking shape at last! I'm so happy for you both and the girls. Fabulous! ~Cynthia

[@Guildbrookfarm]

So far so good 🤞🏻😳

[@bradvaughan3658]

I can’t get enough of the views that you are gonna have. It’s gonna be beautiful.

[@buddyl92]

It is really great seeing the wonderful progress you are making. Congrats.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

This place looks like it's going to be amazing when done.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

We live in an ICF house. You’re going to love yours, the energy savings is enormous. We also have solar powered heated floors and it’s sooo comfortable! We’re amazed that more people have not built this way. We live above five thousand feet (AZ) and have only used a half a cord all winter to supplement the solar.

[@rsy427]

Looking good, doing a great job. You’ll appreciate the house more because of time and effort you all put into it.

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

The house is really taking shape now! It’s going to be so awesome!

[@augustreil]

Wow, this is going to be one nice, seriously strong house ! Great job , thumbs up !!!

[@mimib6955]

Adult legos! Lol! So happy for the Guildbrook Family. You guys are in the home stretch now! Woo Hoo!!!!

[@Logiwonk]

I just realized how beautiful the view from your kitchen/dining area is, with those french doors opening up on the mountains, great planning!

[@PaulyOutdoors]

That house is coming along awesome Jeremy! It's been such a fun ride watching it rise from the ground up. Sending blessings to you and the family from Minnesota!

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

What an INCREDIBLE VIEW you are going to have ! P.S. You make a good product rep !

[@helenhuskins4231]

Eeekkkk!!! It looks so good! I know you guys are excited! Thanks for bringing us along on the journey!

[@oldgloryhomestead9752]

wow I can really visualize what your building now, you guys have put allot of thought into this build, cant wait to see it finished.

[@KatInTheNorth]

I love the view you're going to have from your new home, and your new home is going to be awesome! Congrats!

[@KatyInNH]

Stunning! Can't wait for the gardening to fill the pantry!

[@liorajimenez3085]

I'm so happy for you both! An ICF Ranch is my dream. I look forward to seeing this completed. Way to make lemonade out of lemons!! Congratulations!! 🎉

Finally I can see sorta what the floor plan is. I can't wait to get it all finished!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Its really looking good guys. The view is amazing.

[@catswambo9706]

Ooo that squeeky squeeky sound as the blocks are cut and handled... lol

[@debbiehall3759]

This makes me so happy!! We are so anxious to see it completed. Can’t wait to see how you setup your gardens and chicken area! 🙌❤️💪😍👏❤️

[@johnoneill5812]

Very interesting to watch this build. Will be solid and well insulated which will probably be more important for summer cooling than winter heating.

[@WendyK656]

I am sure looking forward to see the next floor poured. What a beautiful view

[@HHeirloomIA]

Y'all are going to have the most amazing views from your new home!💕

Oh Boy! It's looking like a house now!!!😊❤

[@PaullaWells]

I just cannot tell y'all how my heart soared when I saw the title and then when you were walking around and showing where the walls would be, closet, kitchen sink, windows and doors. I am just so happy for y'all! I know. I know. I am a broken record. LOL I am just super excited for your whole family! I bet the girls are getting way excited too. I can hardly stand to wait for the next video. Also, how is your friend? I shared your video, but I am not too sure how much that helps. I just pray he has been able to receive enough money to get the dental stuff done and maybe even a donor for the kidney.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Update on Eric soon

The view out of those french doors. WOW!

[@debbiecrouch709]

I am so happy for you! It’s been along time coming but what a day when you walk through those finished doors!

[@cheriluvsgrr]

That stuff is amazing. It’s looking so good.

[@swmas02]

Making progress on your build starting to look like home especially with foam insulation on both sides of the concrete wall.

[@Mulberrysmile]

Aww, now...you know you’re going to build your own man cave/work shop in a couple of years, lol! Great job, y’all 👍🏼

[@jamiebarnes3531]

Loving it! Thanks for the walk through. It's taking shape. I'm excited just watching! I can only imagine how you must feel! 👌😁❤🇨🇦

[@hvnfun8601]

This video does my heart good. You guys have come along way.

[@GreggMrGlen]

Hi, Guildbrook Farm, I'm sure you're waiting for what comes' next!?! Also, thanks to Ariat International for sponsorship. Waiting to sit on your deck with Wine and a slice of brie........

[@Jomama02]

Your view is going to be so gorgeous and I love the covered porch idea then an open deck area. That's living space to me. I hope you are getting a little excited seeing it coming together and shaping up.

[@tarapaul8212]

Your house has the perfect floor plan, it is really coming together nicely.

[@HousewifeInTheWoods]

Those blocks actually look fun to put together ♡ it's taking shape so quickly! I'm so happy for u ♡♡♡

[@sovereigns1grace]

Well looky what we got here! Something looks houseish :D. By summer you'll be sippin' mint juleps on the porch! Hooray!

[@rikkitikkitavi997]

Y’all are building a beautiful house with fantastic views. It’s going to be great. Thanks for showing us everything step.

[@jeanetteharris373]

I would never get anything done, except sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and gazing at the view!

[@atmm89]

looks like she is going to be a grand house, all the best mate

[@bf8606]

Watching your videos since a while now, can't wait to see how this house will look like in a couple month from now. Keep up to good work

[@williammcasey7650]

Here is a tip for you guys take your gun and shoot some hole thru your burn barrel .. it will burn a lot cleaner! Plus you can get some target practice in!!

[@CubasAutomotive]

I'm loving the progress guys! Your forever home is going to be gorgeous and a great sanctuary! A place to want to be! 😍😍

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

I love my Ariart boots! What I love even more is seeing you in your new home w door n window cut ours..It seemed I sensed your excitement as you are pointing out what is where! This construction method seems solid as all get out

[@pat_in_va8605]

Excellent video today. If y'all aren't careful you'll end up with a house on that mountain! =) I want your build done for the sheer reason I want to see you with critters again.

[@zzzzhuhzzzz]

This is what we've been waiting for! The beginning of the end of the hard times, and the beginning of the awesome future you've been working toward. Cannot wait for the next video! SO SUPER EXCITED for you guys!! And Jeremy... that subflooring met the ICF like you'd done this a hundred times before. Excellent work!!

[@lauriewind6366]

...its looking like a house now, very amazing all that progress. I hope the Inspector is going to like this. You guys did a great job....looking forward to the pour.

Amazing. Can't wait for the next video.

And built like a tank !

Love they layout. The wood supports around the windows and doors helps to see the plan.

[@photog20001]

Looking good! Really like the view you have out those front windows. Love Ariat boots, just bought two pair at Christmas so I missed your discount.

[@sandyallen1488]

So happy for you and the family. You’ve worked so hard, had some challenging setbacks, but persevered. Great lessons for us all. I know you will have a beautiful home.

Lovely to see the walls ready to pour.

I really am enjoying the process...and you deserve the sponsors because you're doing a wonderful job at telling (teaching) the story too.

Congratulations! Looks great!

Really looking like a home coming together! Exciting!!! :-)

[@todddembsky8321]

Love it, but jealousy lays strong in my heart. I would show you a picture of the beautiful land of 10,000 lakes, looks a lot like a parking lot. Oh it is a parking lot. flat with stripes. What an incredible view, absolutely breathtaking. Are you going to put in a zip line from the porch to the valley bottom 6 miles away??? :-)

[@lisagerlach2960]

Amazing progress!!

I'm so happy for y'all and the progress you have made on the house. Been off of KZbin and catch up. God bless you all

It's looking good, glad things are going well outside of the weather. I checked out Ariat for the shoes, unfortunately they don't have my size. Take care, I look forward to the next video.

[@duanevanwinkle3488]

Looking good.. I notice that you have had little snow this winter. Is that unusual????

[@Guildbrookfarm]

A little. We usually get more than we have this year.

With that view you will have no need for satellite TV. Sunrise & coffee..... sunset & glass of wine.

[@theresad6990]

It's awesome to see the window and door spaces now. It's truly becoming homey. :-) That view is going to be killer to sit and enjoy. Nice work guys. I've got to know though... I'm sorry if this sounds dumb but... With the rain that you got is there any concern about the water getting down into the channels in the foam before the concrete is poured? I'm just envisioning all these little puddles in the bottom of the walls. LOL.

[@mojo6524]

the concrete will displace any water during the pour.

[@josephg2553]

Should be a low maintenance home. Great job planning for the future.
