Actually, I enjoyed the multiple continuances on the 'easy' project. It is 'real life' in action and as a bonus, we got to see what Chef Meg was cooking up each day. 👍👍👍 Be Blessed

[@leslienichols5268]

Good job Ben! Building a homestead from almost scratch has been a tremendous amount of work and you did it when time, energy and money allowed.

[@jonabriggs8829]

You guy's started that place from scratch !! And you did a terrific job !! Such an inspiration

[@nannypat6520]

Can you use some of the space under the mobile home for cold storage? Maybe insulated bins? Love your get it done attitude!

[@leroyjohnsonsr8481]

Sounds good, if it works!

Get the boys to work at Lowe's and get that sweet sweet employee discount 😂

[@skippyvsamy6768]

That's such a good idea

[@tracyzabelle]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Princesshelyne]

If Lowes is not too far away, that could work it’s quite a few miles. Cost a lot in gas to drive back-and-forth for a job. Nice idea. Nice idea.

[@gailgrice8979]

I wish Meg would talk instructions during her cooking as she goes. Amazing cook!

[@PatrickPoet]

she does sometimes

[@stephaniewilson3955]

She does it by eye. She uses her experience not measures. We have asked for a recipe book for ages but she never writes anything down.

[@pinkythechihuahua3156]

​This is what or I should say, HOW I cook. I do however, use a recipe when I bake. Meh has a lot of experience and remember, the family eats 3 meals a day.

[@heatherk8931]

That fancy raman supper looks amazing! ❣ Congratulations Ben on getting the skirting project behind you; it really does look very nice. Have fun with the class this weekend, y'all 🎉 See ya next week😊

[@SandraNelson063]

It's always good to get some good work to put on a resume. Even if it's just for a few months. Any vehicles they can drive, any farm tools they can use. It's all good.

[@diannedutton6127]

Meg is amazing!! The breads, the dishes she comes up with! The skirting is so nice, so clean, looks finished.

Sometimes self needs a pat on the back. And it’s looking great 👍

[@teresacastillo5274]

The skirting looks really good. Hopefully, you will find the time soon to start on the addition y'all need. I bet it's gonna be amazing. Love that the baby likes hanging with her daddy so much. Precious memories for you both.

If they don't plan on addressing ng steps off the other door.they could build a pantry off that door and there's the extra storage.

Your wrong im not tired of watching you all make your place nice ! I love every second of the work 😂

[@EastRiverHomestead]

Ben, I don't think I hit send when I commented on the citrus greenhouse within a greenhouse video. I was trying to tell you that I wrapped my citrus with INCANDECENT Christmas lights, draped a towel over the top and then enclose everything in a black contractor bags to protect my citrus which is planted in the ground and they survived 18 degrees. Just an idea for you.

[@theunsteadysteader]

The skirting is BEAUTIFUL!!! Good job!

[@erwinaddison2030]

Nice job!

[@debragonser745]

Grandma here! 29 degrees here in the state of Washington and just started snowing. Coming down pretty good!

That $300.00 tin of patè looked right up my alley! Love the stuff! A very small square of it at a local cheese shoppe goes for $12.00....just sayin'....👀🤔👍🏅💯

Great job the skirting looks great! Meg should do some cooking shows!

Now Meg can plant pretty shrubs and/or flower beds around the house!

[@OMGaNEWBIE]

Any chance of you posting the recipe for that yummy Liver Pate? Please! The finishing on the home looks A+1. Great job Ben.

[@gkiferonhs]

I hope you keep the camera running during dinner and keep some of those cards. We found an old audio tape of when my dad just got a tape recorder and we just let it run during dinner - nothing special. That is one of my favorite recordings; just hearing a routine meal. (Now, at our house as I suspect it is at your house, dinners could be routinely hilarious, so it wasn't just a bunch of sounds of people eating)

[@carmengibson]

It looks great!! Hope the cat came back out from underneath! 🤪🤣🤣

[@shirleymurphy1958]

Floors are going too be warm for winter and the food looks amazing!❤

Congrats to the guys on their job! More life skills under their belt. Wonder if they will want to take up hunting ?

[@johnnyblood2]

Large black barrels of water in the green house will heat up during the day when the sun is out and release their heat slowly through the night when it gets cold. A heat sync.

[@susanwinslow9361]

Good for your boys,good work ethic

[@debraflowers5905]

Hope your class goes well this weekend. Hopefully the rain holds of until the night.

[@denaoberski]

The frost was beautiful. Thanks for sharing the pictures of it. Nope, not tired of the skirting project. Rejoicing with you as it gets done and happy that the cold doesn’t slip in while its cold. Proud of the twins and their new job. Much love to the whole family!

[@trinapellegrino621]

🙋🏼‍♀️🕊. If you add some mushrooms to the pate , I would make chicken livers with (mushroom onions garlic spices ) minced and chilled, came out great. You are a wonderful woman I all around , Megan.

[@darrenc9607]

That ramen looks delicious! Oh, and the house looks great as well.

[@deannewilliams3321]

WooHoo!! Job well done 👍🏻 It would be so awesome if you could find some of those oval cast iron vents like the houses in New Orleans. My Grandma’s house didn’t have those vents, it wasn’t closed in, so we got under there and made Barbie Doll city lol. My cousin had the big camper. I made the Barbie clothes. I probably spent more time at their house than mine lol. We were in 3rd grade riding the streetcar by ourselves to go swimming at the YMCA. Can’t do that these days. Seeing little Sister sitting on her booster seat, looking so posh and totes adorbs, reminded me of sitting on the NOLA phone book lol. That was my booster seat hahaha 😆 I bet the boys are loving having a job and making some money. Have a FUNtastic weekend!!

[@phyllisgabourel7506]

Ben it’s amazing watching you skirt your home, I love the part about Meg making bread and cooking.

This has been a fun project to see Ben. Was that 66°F in the greenhouse? Nice! That golf cart is great! Yay, citrus survived! Nice, the twins are packing meat for a deer processor. It looks so nice all finished! Those sourdough bread loaves look amazing! Liver pate. Dinner of fancy ramen! Looks delicious! I like the soft boiled eggs added too. Yum, braised garlic! Sliced grilled steak, cabbage, peeled carrots, mushrooms, and roast lamb stock, sounds tasty! I hope the pig class goes well! Thanks for this video Hollar family!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Love your sweet family. Love seeing you getting all the projects completed and watching your homestead grow. You and Meg are amazing.

[@christinej2358]

Great job skirting your home, Ben. Congratulations on the twins taking on a seasonal job. Meg, your fancy noodle bowls looked delicious and that bread looks better than any bakery I’ve ever seen. I know your other two boys were either helping in the kitchen or keeping cutie pie Buggy entertained, which is a big help. Great day on the homestead!

[@KunesRGr8]

Hello Ben and family from west Tennessee. I know that things have changed in construction and supplies used. When I was a sprout and installed skirting for mobile homes way back when, we used a louvered fixed vent and they worked great. Congratulations on a job well done 🙌👍👊

[@bobbijonichols6786]

The skirting looks great! Piggies sure were making a ruckus 🤣😂🤣. Love that Buggy hangs out with you.

[@flipflopgardener6629]

Meg works so hard. She's a beast!

[@pattiwhite9575]

So happy to see the house trimmed out now. Looks so nice. I really like the color like it is. Vent. My parents had eves vents on their house that were metal with small like drilled holes in them. Nothing could ever get into the house through them small ish holes. I think you could easily make some. Just some small square tin sheets with some drilled holes in them. Spray paint them and screw them on. Glad for the boys to have their first jobs. It is a rare job for now a days. They can be proud of jobs done well and their own money in pockets. Teach them to put 10% of earnings straight into a personal savings account. It will compound quickly. Habit for life. Soon they will be driving on their own. It will be so nice to have extra drivers in the family soon. With restrictions at first. I remember how nice it was to take first trip with my son driving and me in the backseat resting. It is so great.

[@sharonhaas8503]

California dreamin' on such a winter's day = Don't go back there! You know Gavin has already ruined things for everyone else. I can't get over how nice the block "footing" makes the edge look like a trim piece but is very functional and probably saves the wood from rotting if it had been directly on the ground. And yet so simple. Bon courage avec l"orangerie!!!

Glad you got the work done. Will be so much warmer. Your ramen is what I buy at Costco. I really like it and often toss in a whisked egg and some green onions topped with a few drops of toasted sesame seed oil if I have a dodgy tum. Sometimes I toss in fresh grated ginger with chicken and Bragg's. Versatile and not too unhealthy since the noodles are baked not fired and they are made with brown rice.
