It Feels Good To Have This DONE! Moving Forward...

We're done with siding, as far as we can for now. There is one more wall left but we are planning on adding an addition so it doesn't make sense to start that wall until we have the roof to stand on. We also take down some trees in preparation for building on our new lot.

Congrats on finishing 95% of the siding!🙌 Mercedez and Benz are starting to enjoy the walks with the dogs. Miley is at least 90% there but still hyper.😂 One day we'll have to update our family photo for our channel including Mercy and Bennie. Wish us luck on that.🤞 Thanks guys so much! Can't wait to hang out again soon!😘

[@Simpleconsciousliving]

We really love and appreciate you both and all your content. You both are very real, earthy & grounded and inspiring individuals which are easy to enjoy and learn from. Thanks for being you and sharing your journey! We both wish you guys all the very best! Blessings & Love, Travis & Émily

[@eddiepaige6628]

Watching your progress with the house build and all the other tasks you all do is enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@davidmcgee1246]

WOW! You both should have a major sense of accomplishment, and satisfaction in your hard work.

[@billiehuskins8129]

Very good long video. Hardest working woman I've ever seen. I hope they both cook and share the house chores.

[@sarahschlosser1203]

The siding looks great. Katie and Greg you two are such hardworking people and a great team. The land is going to be so much safer with all the clean up.

[@brianbedell7143]

O wow, it looks so good. Great colors and workmanship. You all are amazing. Thanks for welcoming us into your adventures and life. Being older and retired watching keeps me engaged. ❤❤

[@kd2eat]

The siding looks awesome! I'm envious of the gorgeous trees that provide such abundant lumber and firewood for you! I imagine you two will be milling up a storm once that wood dries!

[@waynedavenport3919]

The house is looking phenomenal guys. Awesome team work ❤️❤️❤️

[@lauraquigley6403]

I am a long time viewer & remember the bus & Katie starting out learning homesteading skills! So Happy you have the siding completed! You’re both hard working! 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@kamalranawat5353]

Amazing architecture beautifully made 👌👍

[@johndavidson6867]

I am always impressed with the enthusiasm that you tackle the multitude of jobs that are required when living off-grid. It seems that as soon as you get one completed, you have a half dozen more to do, but eventually you will be able to take it easy and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

I’m sure the goats will be happy in their new home. You wouldn’t have done it otherwise.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Definitely. They will have nice forest to forage in

[@scottmorris4914]

on that dump trailer, dump seems to be a relative term…. LOL. you dump it, but not much actually falls out. You guys are definitely getting it done. Good work.

[@dusty7122]

You guy's have great work ethic. House is looking awesome. So much positive progress since u started. Very down to earth channel in such a beautiful habitat. Katie you looking stunning today keep up the awesome work Greg & Katie. Aka goat 🐐 parents

[@randydobson1863]

hello Katie & Greg & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Katie & Greg & Friends Randy

[@TheHavasu_77]

And just like that, more lumber to mill for the addition, yay! 🎉😂 I’m glad that the goats went to a good home, I subscribed to both channels, and the house looks so beautiful and complete now! ❤ I know you probably have plans for the upper deck, but have you ever thought about some solar panels up there, with rain catchment to an ibc tote below, and maybe a small propane heater to melt the snow off them? Not covering your entire top deck because I know you want to grow things up there, but maybe mount the top to the edge of your upper deck, the bottom to the lower deck, and it could shade the lower deck from the snow and give you rain water at the same time? Just a thought. Love you guys and have a great weekend! 😊❤

[@user-om8jz8xr6s]

Aspen is getting huge😊.

[@michaelsheehan641]

you should be so proud of what you have achieved

[@cosmoslogic9088]

Love the time frame of 40 mins or so makes for a dialed in video coverage I have said this before you two are so awesome and I am so glad Greg is working at the property now much done

[@henryminton4760]

The siding looks very,very,nice on your house 🏠..It looks like a professional did the job..I'm very sure it is a lot of hard work to do it..Make those shorts don't have any skid marks in them..Ha,HaHa...😊😊😊

[@jvt201]

i have watched build from beginning , Now your house looks like beautiful

[@dalerude1821]

Hey Greg and Katie…Conrats on the completion of your siding project…Looks great!!! As always, many thanks for sharing…IAG, eh!!! 🇨🇦

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

You did good, be proud of yourself's. The house looks like a pro did it.

[@rolandtb3]

The finished siding around the lower and upper decks make such a huge difference. Well done. Clearing and cleaning up help to make your homstead more fire safe. Just in time for some snow.

[@NYCamper62]

I got a chuckle out of the goat getting a scratch off the saw. 😉

[@sandratweedale2579]

That goat staring at the hen looks like it’s saying or thinking ‘what is your problem?’ You make me so happy sharing the personalities of all your creatures. What an atmosphere to live in. I know there’s always things to do but boy, those walks with all your wee friends looks like the best therapy ever! Wish everyone loved creatures of all kinds like you do. Much love from Ottawa 👵🥰

[@rzrabbit]

I enjoy seeing your progress weekly, ive never seen 2 more motivated and energetic people as you guys. Reep your rewards, its well deserved.

[@wadeprior5203]

Hey good afternoon how are your folks doing today I'm proud of you guys you guys are going to keep up the good work and I'm heading to looks really good on the house keep up the good work on the house

[@lucyl2770]

How very proud and relieved that you’re finished with the house - it looks so good! I’m glad you explained why the lower limbs need to be removed. Not living the trees and chance of fire, I don’t think of the little, fairly easy to do. I subscribed to your friends and look forward to seeing the goats. Your corner of the world looks so neat, tidy, and certainly looks like it’s loved - guess that’s the word for it. Both of you are such hard workers! Looking forward to the next video!

[@jamesdurrant7392]

Wow Kate and Greg that some work you people do it's turning. Into a great home stead dream team is a wonder team happy wife happy life you work so well together

[@paulcousins1168]

A good job finished now for safety rails around the patio and flat roof.

[@johnkirby6547]

Great video you guy's ❤. The house is looking awesome with the siding on. Nice work on felling the trees, some good wood there to keep you busy on the saw mill. The goats look happy also to have the tree branches. See you soon ❤

[@godbeesmith]

One of the hardest working women I have ever seen. Greg is lucky to have such a good gal.

[@jamesrivis620]

MY T-SHIRT arrived today here in Montpelier, Vermont. I love it !! This Canuck loves watching your progress.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

[@KarenAnthony-cv6qj]

Beautiful house love it ❤, you both are hard workers .love your land to.

[@philbudne2095]

House looks great! Congratulations!!

[@smarthome2660]

Hey yall, nothing wrong with buying a cheap saw as long as it works. I have the Ryobi Expand-it tool that has the mini chainsaw, hedge trimmer, edger, sweeper, brush cutter, roto tiller, blower, gutter blower, snow thrower,, string trimmer, both gas and battery power heads and extension pole. Each part range from $99.00 to $165.00.

[@jameschupp2230]

You guys, have you considered taking the water from your Metal Roof of your house and Catch that? If it works out, That might really help out a lot with your water situation. Awesome Job on the Siding! It looks Great!

[@racebanning6390]

AWESOME, THE HOUSE LOOKS GREAT, WHAT A RELIEF TO HAVE SO MUCH SIDING UP. LOTS A LUMBER IN THOSE TREES, KATIE I THINK YUR THE HARDEST WORKIN LADY OFFGRID. SO KOOL THAT YOU BOTH ARE HOME NOW AND JUST ROLLING LIKE A TRAIN ON THE TASKS. DOUBLR TROUBLE THE NUBBY GOATS LOL🐐🐐🐐YA WE GOT 5 INCHES OF WET SNOW LAST NITE, 4WD BACK ON. BE BLESSED YA ALL🤙🤙💪💪🙏🙏👍👍

[@albarr4760]

I love your home , its a great build , a nd as you say its taking time your working to what you can afford as and when, and I think you have one of the most difficult plots I HAVE seen , the water situation is a serious matter. And you deal with it admirably, and one day that will be mastered somehow, Im Just an old dude 80 this year. But my admiration for you both goes beyond all I can thi k to tell you, but your up there with the best if not the best,, keep up the great inspiration , and work ethic you both have, AL BARR GLASGOW

[@terrydarow8401]

I just love your videos and you guys did a great job with the siding and we love you guys ❤

[@BethS55]

I had a thought, on the otherside of mudroom you could build a quest bedroom. Later on in life you 2 can use it yourselves. Arthritis is NO JOKE.

[@larryperdue508]

I'll bet that turkey dumplings would be great fishing 🎣 bait 😊

[@wilmaschramm2451]

Brrr snow again but the house looks great good jop you to 👍💯❤

[@karenphillips6801]

I love it it looks beautiful. Great job😊

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@billmcdonald9115]

Those pole saws also work well for skipping off branches on felled trees. Not so noisy and easier to trim off the small branches.

[@larryperdue508]

The stumps from those trees you can take your chain saw and cut a hole down the center and cut some canikting holes around the base and wala you have a rocket stove 😊

[@lynnemac1402]

The house looks great well done on all your progress, it looks so smart. Cleaning up the land is very therapeutic isnt it x

[@TheNikitis]

Good to see your home coming together. Still a bit of work to go but having that siding done on 3 sides is going to improve your mood dramatically.

[@icepick1945]

Gratz guys, you are killing it and it looks great. I had a thought, you could turn the upstairs area into a greenhouse! Good idea?? Well Greg was looking for something new.............. lol

[@nicolepeppler6475]

Yay, the siding looks great

[@larryperdue508]

Home depot has what they call bag of rags that are lint free and are just the right size and cheap I use them all the time even when I clean and oil my fire arms 😊

[@jerrystout3032]

Great Job guys!!!😇!😇!

[@jamesdurrant7392]

The end is near, time to take a deep dive into your personal " bucket list "

[@lambeausouth1]

I love that Tractor 😀

[@petetuck6095]

..Katy's getting better at reversing the quad and trailer..

[@davidredlinger876]

Was a lot of work putting that house up. You two did a great job. Thank you.

Good morning and greetings from Spokane.

[@laruedouglas7972]

Such hard workers both of yous !

[@raymondrosa7245]

[@wijim1948]

Those goats are in goat heaven with all those cuttings available to eat! I love watching this channel. You guys are so great...

[@ritasnider2998]

Love watching your progress

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Sounds like a lot of “We gotta’s” to finish. It must be such a great feeling of accomplishment when you complete a project! I think this winter will go down as the most bizarre in recorded history weather wise! The house does look good! Well done, you two💕 Those trees are huge! I don’t think you guys know how to tackle little projects! It’s so much fun to watch and learn. I don’t think you’re going to run out of wood for awhile!

[@ThisOffGridLife]

That’s building 🤷‍♀️

[@rayemigh3776]

wow katie you can back a trailer better then most men. Your work ethic is amazing i get tired just watching you two god bless from london ontario

[@lyndamcclain8795]

Your home looks beautiful

[@carolynreddeman7719]

Looks great!

[@steveb6665]

great video, job well done !

[@NORMANMORRISON1940]

Get Greg to cut the reach on that little trailer and add another three or four feet onto it make it so much easier for you

[@waderue]

I tell them Log will make some great lumber nice job guy and stay warm and safe because winter is not over yet now come early spring and as you we get a lot of water and snow in that time span

[@maryricketts8526]

Loved the video. The siding is BEAUTIFUL. You made quick work of those trees and plenty of snacks for the goats. You have a beautiful place.

[@alfredmisterka5880]

It's coming along very nice in do time it will be all done and then on to a new project when you live in the country your work is never done stack up on fire wood for next winter

[@brianblum4591]

The house looks great with most of the siding complete. Katie did I hear you correctly? With all of those chickens you don't like eggs?😆

[@hombredeacero3131]

House is looking beautiful! Looks like a lot of more potential lumber and firewood supply. The place is looking awesome

[@walterwilson8948]

Yelp both of you or amazing . You two are awesome at what you have done with the resources already with what you have on hand and make it work 👍

[@royfoster6389]

Looking Good Guys.....

[@michelletique259]

Hello Katie, at 32:24 may I suggest that you don't throw your heavy logs so far into your trailer? The impact will cause cracks that will worsen over time. It's better to bring the trailer closer together, make a first protective layer with the nearest logs (no need to throw them). This applies to all kind of materials arriving at high speed in any container. Thanks for your video and good luck with your projects.

[@pattymcculloch9000]

Great job guy

[@elwoodlindquist9324]

Siding is great looks good blends in Rather well. Katie such a hard worker, Greg nice job you too are doing your place justice.

[@suepeterson5675]

Katie , it looks like you have to tighten your chain on your pole saw. It shouldn’t sag like that. Nice straight trees that fell , easier for milling. Take care , Be safe. 👍👍

[@keithmclennan3275]

very nice job and colours

[@silverfoxes65]

Good job! Well done.

[@leonasimmons162]

Looking good.

[@patrickgreen2361]

My back hurts just thinking about all of the work y’all are doing. Clearing trees is really labor intensive!

[@grwaters5911]

Another great job guys.

[@brendahuff4039]

It does look good😊❤️❤️

[@johnnywaldrop1297]

Looks great!!!

[@reggiedaniels6920]

Hey Greg and Katie, I'm just watching your video for this week. And you all have a fire going outside. It reminded me about what Katie said about yo all having fires up there and therefore your choice of masonry siding. I was thinking: 'Why don't you all have a large reserve water tank up there for emergencies, such as, a fire happening in the trees and other sheds that are built completely out of wood, then you'll be able to connect you pump and hoses to it to fight any fire that just might happen, unexpectedly. who knows if or when you just might be unlucky and a fire is sparked on your property.

[@coreybryant7808]

Awesome job guys!!! I love watching the progress from you two.

[@barbscarrow7300]

Greg and Katie the siding looks great and the goats are going to love their new area 😊 Katie your work ethic is fabulous 👌 ❤️🇨🇦

[@ineverhadthemoney7857]
