It's Like 75% Done

[@kalaipaa]

I love the Hollar Family!!! One thing I noticed that when Ben is talking, Meg just stares at him and hangs on his every word. Love, respect, and admiration come to mind. This family will go far in life and this is just the beginning of their Homestead Journey. I'm happy to able to witness this.

[@Katydidit]

As am I... they are very much in love and appreciative of each other's skills! So wonderful to witness... & I see "that look " from the Male perspective on occasion as well. Many men are so on task.... that occasionally women miss it, this ....especially this one... is subtle but earnest!

[@fionabaran874]

So true

[@jammiecrowell9096]

I always tell my hubby when he does something silly like that, it's a good thing your cute. Lol so after talking to the camera for 5 minutes, it is a good thing your cute. Love watching seeing your hard work.

[@Will7981]

This is going to be the most well built trailer ever. When your guests ask what floor plan your mobile home is, you can answer it's the "Ben and Meg Floor Plan". Haha👍🏻

[@sherylannejacobs7235]

What nice boys you have!!! Sir, you are a hard worker and very capable. I sense that you are protecting your wife so she does not overextend herself. You are a good man!!!!!

[@Tinyhomedeals]

Love it all. Just a normal day on a homestead. Thanks for sharing. Doing onething then another and another comes up.

[@davidwardlow721]

Right but they are almost there well until the next big project. ♡😇😉👍

[@mcsclermont]

There's a certain amount of pride that comes along with harvesting and growing your own food🙏😍

[@teresagarcia6884]

Love these folks

[@ModelHomeDeals]

They are doing so well. 🥰👍

[@thowsales]

Just great to see how well they are growing.

[@reesekolcow6136]

You are getting in such a great place for this baby - what a loving family you are. These videos will be a great resource for your children later on in life - like an old fashioned photo album . Blessings.

[@maureenthefirst1]

I live in NY and I have been stressed to the hills with our Governor wanting to keep us locked down as long as possible. Then, I turned you guys on and all I did was smile. Thank you for the joy of seeing a beautiful young family doing life together. You give me so much joy. May God continue to Bless you all.

[@boathead22000]

not long as possible but long as necessary.

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

Your governor is really looking out for you. Huge numbers of new infected cases count your blessings .I wish you good health ,safe lives and hope you don't have to be cooped up for too much longer. Warm regards felicity

[@castledykesfarm3396]

Better than our Texas governor who opened up things too early and now we have a huge increase in cases.

[@helenfox1409]

So love getting to go through the chores with ya's. Miss the farm life so, so much. Thanks for sharing yours, makes my day.

[@thomascdurham9130]

Ben, I done years of contracting and never have a camera around, yet there isn't a skilled craftman that doesn't spend 90% of the day talking to his/her self! Talking ourselves through the jobs, procedures, answering our own question while always trying to remind ourselves not to forget something..... now here you are, wife, four kids with one on the way, building a home, taking care of animals, building a homestead and your biggest mistake of the day was not hitting a record button...... "booo hoooo!" with laughter! LOL! You can still count to ten using all of your fingers, you had an excelllent day. :)

[@HeartinessApproach]

The week after the chickens are gone is always a relief. Good Job on the house Ben. Meg you look lovely.

[@kellygreen8255]

Ok. So I’m like at one minute seventeen into this video and I just had to pause it to say this: BEN IS SUCH A GOOD MAN. Good father good friend, good husband, good guy. I usually throw all my love at you, Meg, but this time I feel that I must acknowledge BEN. Y’all are such an inspiration to me. I would imagine that many others would agree. Y’all are living the life...day in and day out. I just love yas.

[@territn8871]

I definitely agree! Ben, you are such a terrific guy! Great husband, father, and friend!!!👍 It amazes me how you have gutted the mobile home and completely installed new wiring, plumbing, and new everything...all that while you all work the farm!!!! You are a great friend that's happy to lend a hand when needed, as well as a great friend to your KZbin family!👌

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Meg and Ben, The Hollar Homestead, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐖🌱🎥👍👍👍

[@pattihusk8181]

Wow, just think in a few short weeks, you’ll be able to step into your home and it will all be pretty much done🥰🥰! Just one day at a time....you guys are amazing!!!

[@karenweber4791]

Thank you for keeping us up to date with you. So many of us have come to love you and your family! Good to see your son there also! With the state of society, this is a good and Godly thing...stay well!!!

[@dianapollex3266]

There's tremendous pride to be taken Ben when you build a home for your family and provide them with food and love. Love your beautiful family😍

[@estyria5961]

"Less melty" I like that. We're finishing a basement right now, and though most of it is DIY, we brought in a licensed master electrician to do the wiring. See, me and electricity get along a little toooo well if you know what I mean. Also, I'm going to have to remember that trick of throwing a scoop of feed in the coop just so you can get in the door. I used to end up looking like a chicken perch just trying to feed them. Have fun guys!

[@Tangie0906]

There is something so satisfying about watching you complete one task after another. Direct, straightforward, check off the list accomplishments. It's going to be so awesome watching you build this homestead in the years ahead.

[@docdew50]

That was a neat trick with the 2X4's leverage drill. I'm 66 years old this month and have never seen that. Thanks for being you.

[@PatrickPoet]

What's your birthday? I'm 65 this month on July 9th:)

[@serenityhillhomestead5392]

I'm 62 and never seen that, but boy is that trick going to come in handy when our house build gets to that point. I usually wear myself out trying to use a hole drill low like that!

[@ModelHomeDeals]

Wonderful. You all should be proud for all that you are doing. God bless.🥰👍

[@thowsales]

So true

[@callicoat1]

Watching this after the crash video I have a very unsettling feeling watching you go thru your motions of a day not knowing what is going to happen to your family. Once again I’m so so happy you are all ok. Sending love from Ohio

[@hector131]

Wasn't expecting a new episode 😳 You've just made my evening! Greetings from Sweden as always

[@barbaracleri123]

You have come such a LONG WAY so happy for you all keep up the great work ok hugs from Canada ,🇨🇦🇨🇦😆😃

[@ayronsmama05]

Wow the ending time lapse was flippin awesome!! I caught myself watching the sky yesterday as a pretty powerful storm was brewing and the movement was so thrilling to see. Prayers that all continues at a good pace and you guys are in the trailer before baby gets here. I am so excited to see both "projects", completed, lol. Blessings!

[@rickschuman2620]

Good to see you are on the up side with all the feed cost and all job well done !! ❤️🙏👨🏼‍🌾good helpers!nice fad out!

[@mississippigirlgardening8396]

So glad you reinstalled the new outlets.. y’all have come a long way and I’m so happy for y’all...Meg.. you are such a beautiful mother and wife...Ben... awesome Father and husband 💚🌱💚

[@MsJWheels]

I remember plucking, cleaning, and dressing chickens on my grandma's farm growing up. We also helped make butter, separate milk, butcher hogs, deer, make sausage, homemade icecream...the list goes on.

[@kathyweber2089]

Can i say that i just love the fact that the boys RARELY have shoes on? To be a kid with bare feet every day...what's better than that!

[@lmauser8490]

As a kid I would have loved it too. Now it gives me the heebee jeebees. :-D

[@itsallaboutHim777]

L Mauser 😂 me too... especially all that chicken poop!

[@Newman81964]

I always ran around barefoot as a kid until I stepped on a piece of a broken sewer pipe and cut open the arch of my foot just scraping against the artery that runs through there. That was the last time I ever went barefoot. The kids also shouldn't be helping out in the mobile home barefoot while it is being worked on. They should have shoes on their feet so they don't step on anything like an old staple or nail or large splinters. I know they don't want to wear anything on their feet, but limits should be set to protect them from injuring themselves. That is a work environment and shoes should be required.

[@SarahW4285]

@@Newman81964 I think this every time. Glad im not the only one that thinks this

[@tracybaker5504]

There is something about watching you do your chores that I find calming. Thanks for sharing"

[@florenceb6550]

You guys have come a long way👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m looking forward to seeing the mobile home all done. I’ve been watching you guys since the beginning and the change you guys chose to take on deserves an applause , you’re doing great! Can’t wait to see the baby 👶 in your videos 💕

[@pollyanne9973]

Thanks for sharing. It's so nice to see the progress being made on the farm side and in the mobile home. Keep safe and well, lovely family ! Hugs from Carole in UK.

[@lifeinthecountrysidehome]

You all are doing great! The house is looking good. Great Job Ben....YOU are the man.....MEG you have a gem. I cant wait to see the finish product. We are working on our farm house and I am always super excited when a project is completed. I also enjoy how you both love on each other.

[@MichiganGardenGal]

I’m glad everything went well with the butchering 🤗. It is hard, but worth it to know where your food comes from.

[@zacharyhight1953]

Using those 2x4's as a lever to push the drill is brilliant, I never would have thought of that.

[@edmay1166]

I watch these videos all the time, tiny house, remodels, icf home build etc. First time I saw that trick with the 2x4's to assist drilling the hole for wiring. Thanks

[@breathofhome6315]

I appreciate all the time you spend on videos to let us observe your homesteading experience. Get's me out of the city for a few minutes. Peace

[@paulrice1918]

Isn"t it really nice to see a days work finished and you did not have to pay someone to do it. I also love the way Meg looks at Ben when he is talking, yep looks like love to me.

[@kennethgibbons2487]

I don't know how you get the time but it is so good to get so many video up-dates! Work on the home seems to be going really well. Loved the "talking to the camera while not switched on".... My wife and I are in our 70's and these sorts of things happen a lot - like going to put the salt in the fridge! Keep trucking - God bless you all.

[@peggywilson9929]

My husband raised in the county with the family income at minimum his parents hunted and raised their own meat taught me a lot when we got married ❣️❣️❣️

[@peggymcthompson261]

It is such a blessing to have the kind of connection Ben and Meg have. And it is such a wonderful example to their boys.

You are sooo close...relax...unwind...take your walk....have a great rest...you all deserve it.

What a great feeling to be able to feed your family with food you all worked to raise humanely💥

Thanks for allowing us to follow you , I enjoy watching you work on the Mobile home, it’s great you can set the camera down and just go for it!!❤️

[@jemmiestone5731]

You all have got a lot accomplished. It is a busy time for you all with the chores, garden and trying to get the mobile home done before the baby gets here. Totally understandable. No worries. All is good. God Bless Y'all.

Great job with the filming and editing! Nice to have different stuff to watch! Blessings

Wow it is so nice to have a little helper work with you Ben! the boys are so Great! It sure is coming along, and you will take a breather after it is all done. I am waiting to meet the little Hollar coming soon.

[@jueliabaker8909]

I just want to tell you how very proud you should be. I look forward to every video. God Bless each of you.

[@cindyfinn4845]

Another homesteading family found out their beloved milk cow is positive for Johnes (yo-nes) and a cow vet said Johnes is in commercial beef and dairy cows, so what you are doing is better in so many ways.

[@samanthatorres9517]

Some may see a boring video, but I see a man who chose his family over the system most live by. It takes a lot of hard work, and ingenuity to make it the way you've chosen to intentionally live..but what a payoff!!! Love you guys❤

[@kimmurphy6864]

I’ll just be so happy when the baby is here! 😃❤️

[@EllieChristine744]

Here in Sweden we put the wires in pvc-tubes which is practical, because they protect the wire against mice, and if you want to change the wire at a later point, you can pull out the old wire, and pull in a new one...

[@pmartin6759]

I love your videos❤️❤️❤️❤️ been catching up on them since subscribing👍 so very thankful Father God blessed your family with this new life and new living space as you look to Him daily in and for your lives and the lives of your children...🙌🙌🙌

You all have accomplished so much this week. Harvesting all those birds as well as getting the house closer to move-in date!!! I'm loving to have 3 or more vids in a week!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed once the baby arrives that the videos don't slow down!! We're sorta spoiled now ya know!😉 Hoping you all have a great 4th of July weekend!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@judysmith5777]

I'm a subscriber for awhile now but just been watching several of your vids from up to 3 yrs ago - love what u guys are doing for your beautiful family - and I have questions ! Do you have any extended family in the area, if not do they visit, what did and do they all think of your change in lifestyle and do any of your siblings homestead ? Is there anything you miss since leaving your old lifestyle behind, besides having a house but you'll have that so very soon, great job ! Also - Ben, since you once again have long hair, are we going to see you bringing out your guitar ?!! I have so many more questions but I'll leave it at that, I hope you answer !! Thnx for sharing your journey with us, blessings to you all !

[@BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

After building our own house, just my hubby and I doing all of the work, we realized that the interior finish work is way more than framing and insulation and wiring. Y'all are making good progress by leaps and bounds. But when it comes to the finishing stuff, don't get discouraged. It can be done, and done on a tight budget. We went with 1x4s as trim and baseboards. Cut 1x12s for window casings. Much cheaper than actual trim boards. I stained and finished them on sawhorses before cutting them to nail up. Had all my walls textured and painted before trim was installed, so no taping off needed.

[@margaretbedwell58]

Well done Gwen & Hubby....I love 1 x 4's as trim...with square end not mitered. Years ago we were given a couple of pick up loads from a department store catalogue dept. We took down our trim and replaced it with these 1 x 4's we sanded and stained. I love the look.

[@AmiBurr]

Same and same and same...interior took us 3 times as long as the framing/etc ~ BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT knowing you did it all!!! Y’all got this!!! 🏡👍🏼💕
