I'll be with you two as you go forward, been here since the first video and it helps me go forward at 84 years on this planet. Aloha Nui Loa from the Big Island.

[@robertdouglas4130]

Your videos are a great example of why projects take longer than expected: there are so many steps involved! Looking so good!

[@ginozanga2129]

Love your attention to detail with the flashing. Most people want to get to the end asap. But when you take your time the satisfaction is immense! Love your choice of song/music Katie. You two are a perfect pair❤️

[@donnabac]

Y’all deserve all the credit for keeping us interested and getting to 100k! 🎉😊

[@rossbrown1748]

I think it’s great that your former boss let you use his garage

[@dorothykeddy4188]

Hi I’ll be with as long as I am able i am 87 years old and love your family of animals and especially your building skills from Dorothy in New Brunswick Canada

[@laruedouglas7972]

Congratulations on your milestone. It is a great thing Greg knows how to bend and have access to the metal you both need for your house. 😊

[@triciaramirez1886]

Just going to say it again because I repeat myself a lot, I honestly love y’all’s channel! I wish more people put out such positive vibes! ❤⚓️❤️ Tricia in Texas loves yall!

[@lauraquigley6403]

Hi Katie & Greg! Happy you are getting your skirting done before the snow! Always glad to see what you Guy’s are up to!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@arony6918]

Hope the insulation doesn't need 2 days of sun before closing it up.... (not a builder...)

[@nancybottemiller2522]

So happy for your milestone 😊No matter the difficulties, you are doing amazing! Thanks again for allowing us to follow your journey ❤

[@lynngreen4201]

Love that brown metal geometric panel behind the work table

[@janetestis1472]

Happy Sunday. God bless! ❤

[@glendajune9140]

Getting it done, no matter what the weather conditions may be. Keep it moving, you might beat the snow. You’ve got it looking good so far. Positive results!💯🇺🇸 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😀

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

Brilliant work. Well done guys. Your old boss was very kind to let you come back and use his workshop. Decent guy. He knows you have great plans, and is doing his bit to help you both. You will get it done. Greg I have to sa, you are so much happier now and I’m sure Katie I’d happy to have her “Greg”back. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@kevinwiley9696]

Here’s to 200,000!!!!!!!

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Progress in the rain, that is determination to get it done.

[@Mark-ec3wj]

You are such an inspiration for so many people including your goats your chickens and all your animals they are hilarious

[@LissaFlatt-gq8ov]

Another interesting video. Can't wait to see the siding up. Such sweet mistries of life. Working for your self is the best thing ever. Peace Love Happiness 💖💖

[@manuelagama9422]

Hello my dear congratulations. It's finally time to finish your house I love you hugs from Portugal

[@bobflores]

Woohoo, siding! JK As with many projects, it's the preparation that will determine the final product. You guys are doing the steps necessary to have a fire rated home in the woods. It's going to look so good when you're done. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Awesome job you guys. Congratulations on the 100k subscribers also. So well deserved.Stay safe and have a good week

[@hanshollander3745]

Hello from Germany from Kakenstorf Hans und Oci topp job ❤❤❤👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@darienneflint9354]

James i too tjoroughly enjoy their videos at 71yrs young watch with enthusiasm they win each of their progress. I too have watched first edition thru. Love every minute from way down under west Australia

[@mlutke4067]

So great Greg’s prior employer lets you have access to metal shop !!! Speaks well of his relationship skills😎

[@SpaceForce2019]

You are hard core working in drizzle rain. Great plan for the windows, looks awesome!

[@ArthurValencia9438]

French Doors sound great. It will look classier than sliding doors. I am so happy to see the siding going up. It's been a long time coming. Do you get to use the tools at the shop free? That will save you a lot of money on the trim if you can. Are those Dogs guard Dogs for the Shop? I enjoy your Channel very much and always look forward for the next installment. Your Fan, Art in Calif🤓

[@greghernandez9772]

You guys are truly beautiful people! Katie is stunning 😊

[@thewizardoftech5075]

you guys really need an electric stapler. bought one the other day. just a corded one for like 50 bucks at kent here in pei . and now things like vapour barrier , tyvek etc are actually fun lol. i use to hate stapling .

[@chrisdoland9372]

You two are a awesome team! It definitely reminds me to have patience with my wife as we are building a house together. I've always been a "hustle and get it done myself kind of person. You two have shown me to slow down and enjoy the moment and memory side of working together! Thank you! I'll always be waiting for the next video 😊

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Busy livestock! The sound of the metal bowing as you position it reminds me of making “thunder” for theater productions years ago. Fun times!!

[@jayd8774]

I have to say, having built houses for 25 years, I have never seen it done in this manor ! WOW!! I'm also curious why you would build a flat roof in snow country??

[@TheHavasu_77]

*insert The Office gif of “It’s happening!”* 🎉😂❤ I’m so excited to see you guys finally getting the siding done, your barn turned out so beautifully and I know the house is going to look amazing!! Also, that’s awesome that Greg’s old work still lets you guys use the shop for stuff.❤

[@fastfreddy121]

Thank you Greg. I’ve been waiting for the siding for two years 😂. I can’t believe I’ve been watching you guys since the bus.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

It's happening!!!!

[@PhilipRHoge]

Love your work together. My wife and I renovated a home back in 1986-90. Could have used KZbin help at that time

[@rolandtb3]

Deck completed, siding preparation underway. Juniper was having a field day in the shop.

[@Mark-ec3wj]

My name is Mark from South Carolina and I've been watching you guys from the very beginning and I am so happy you getting your deck on and your siding I'm so happy things are getting caught up for you guys for winter this year have a cozy winter love you all bye-bye

[@dansowers8159]

Hard working couple, you are lucky to have each other.

[@dantheman5063]

Hi fellow Canadians, Wife and I love the videos, can't wait to see whats next 👍👍

[@smarthome2660]

Slow & steady wins the race.

[@frankyates7910]

look forward to the next vidio on the siding.

[@chrispowers4355]

love me some EDUARDO. especially when he is talking, while hanging out with his clan. nice metal work from the two of you, even with the misbend early on. at least you caught it before doing all of the work. the attention to detail will pay off later with a quality finished product.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Eduardo is a good guy!

[@lindatrotter2827]

I like the fact that you love your dogs, when you want your dogs to obey your commands you don't laugh when as if the command is a joke, Katy often commands Juniper to do something but is never serious because she laughs when Juniper don't obey. Why make a command if you don't really mean it. Dogs need structure and obedience is vital. I love the progress you've made on the house

[@mikebateman8021]

I have to say nice job I've been doing sheet metal work for 50 nice clean job😊

[@user-om8jz8xr6s]

Glad you're putting the siding on 😁

[@bobf12]

Every day is a little more progress. Its looking good.

[@Mark-ec3wj]

Looks beautiful

[@1944chevytruck]

CONGRATS 100,000! ...GOOD JOB! LOOKING GOOD!

[@brianfarrelly7151]

You’re a terrific team guys and Katie is developing new skills - can’t wait to see the initial siding - how it looks. Looks like winter came sooner than expected - can’t be easy working outdoors.

[@kevinwiley9696]

Boy does that make a difference. Finishes it off very nicely!!

[@maxinekelly8417]

It’s going to be just amazing when you have finished the cabin keep going it’s all coming together 🇦🇺❤️👍🥰🥰

[@caroleL.3133]

Congratulations

[@Jay.Kellett]

A heavy-rain day off, is natures way of saying....take a day off, you earned it. And gives you a chance to catch up on the indoor chores you tend to put off.

[@josefreck1103]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu 100000 Abonnenten 👏🏻👍

[@jimchurchman2628]

Y’all do a good job dealing with all the metal edges. Continue to keep your blood, lol. I really enjoy watching you work together and if the bitter cold stays away a while you may get some siding up! I wish I could send you some warm Louisiana weather!

[@carolfaberpeake857]

Wow that’s a lot of flashing but the wall is ready!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@heatherlaird-mcleod3271]

Yay! it's a great start on the siding at last. Take care of your selves.

[@northwoodsyankee3528]

Nice job on the metal work. You're fortunate to be able to do things together.

[@davidfellowes1628]

Congrats. Hope the team is philosophical and ambivalent about those mistakes. After all we are all human and all make mistakes. Cheers

[@lynnbeard2450]

I'm getting really excited about the siding! Can't wait for the next video. Hugs from Texas.

[@karend8575]

Great job! I love your attention to detail! We have done a lot of remodeling, but never worked with that kind of insulation before. Course…we are only in the mountains of So. Cal. Only once have I seen it at 6 degrees below zero while we had our cabin. Enjoying the videos! Love the chickens! When the white rooster crowed it surprised me, cuz I didn’t know it was a rooster! 😂🤣😂

[@rexxanderson1016]

Dang you two….👍🧐👍👍 you go, the glass rock insulation on the outside of the building that fake. It’s a great idea, now and all the high-rises you can call it Rockwall or you can call it bear hair. But in the trade, we call it bear hair

[@rexxanderson1016]

Not fake…. But great application Of Rockwall on the outside of the building, kind of the best use for that product actually put it under exterior siding

[@jerrystout3032]

Outstanding Craftsman ship 👍Great JOB guys!!!😇

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Thanks 👍

[@buddyreed2623]

This looks really good. You must have a lot of sheets of paper with your plans.

[@eloleddie]

You certainly are blessed having access to the equipment to form the metal flashing for the windows and doors! And you are very blessed having such eager assistant to accomplish all this work! And you can both enjoy the finished project for many years! God bless!

[@marksherwin9110]

Congratulations on the rain.. We really need it.. and the drought is just starting here in Australia..

[@OffGridWithChrisandKristie]

Juniper is so cute ☺️

[@phuongvo3051]

All of your pet are adorable ❤❤❤❤,

[@JohnDoe-fg2oq]

Good to see you didnt burn that bridge when you left your job.

[@Anthony_Harper]

I like your newer music much better. None would be fine with me. I like to hear what you hear. I especially like the way you edit the ending. A lot of KZbinrs cover the last scene with the video links. It blocks out the last part of the video. You faded to black then put the links on later. Thank you for that.

[@Volusia1]

FYI rough in height is usually different when swapping sliding patio doors to French doors. I’ve done several dozen and usually a 2” or so difference..

[@user-lh4bc8mh3t]

CONGRATSSSSS FOR THE 100 K SUBSCRIBERS..... YOU DESERVED IT

[@stormmountain2521]

I wish I was there to help you.. but mostly to be their first hand and learn about. this flashing seems to me. You know what you're doing.

[@annasbanna]

I've been out of the loop lately. Just saw you made it to 100K subs. Woo Hoo Congratulations :D

[@NormaRomero-xp4fc]

Hola , si bien no se ingles y me pierdo sus charlas igual los sigo y veo sus avances en el revestimiento exterior , los saludo desde Uruguay

[@gmorrison1962]

I saw on either a KZbin video or this old house or something a few years ago where you can turn your saw blade around and cut aluminum.

[@richardpalma6791]

Great to see your progress Nice how you both work together Can’t wait to see the siding 😎

[@philmccumbee6938]

Looking really good guys. Can’t wait for siding.

[@craigb2366]

Loving the song, Glad you came

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

I have not been wondering when you'd get to the siding, I figured it was on the list somewhere. And oh yeah, gratz on 100k.

[@henryknight7876]

you got Kakie using the break good job Greg, in my youth I did HVAC work Pittsburgh machine and the break making duct work, I am a concrete contractor now for the last 40 yrs. The window trim looks great good job, Greg was great at his job his boss misses him for sure.

[@maxinekelly8417]

Katie you get the honour of being Apprentice of the month you are such a quick learner and Greg kudos to you to for your teaching skills you have great confidence in Katie’s skills good team. 🇦🇺❤️🥰🥰👍👍

[@robertslusser6753]

Mistakes are going to happen. Glad to see that you two can adapt and move on. I used to do metal working years ago both doing HVAC work and also helping my brother in law capping windows and door. You are really blessed to have that metal shop available to do the work yourself.

[@gailburke4174]

Excited to see the siding

[@ridetofreedomf.e.3039]

👏👏👏👏👏 Muchas felicidades

[@haroldwarner8980]

I never judge. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Sometimes it is the availability of materials or the affordability of the materials. You have a plan and you are getting it done!

[@PapaGsworkshop]

Love watching you built your home, the deck looks so nice and having to work in the rain is so reminiscent of working here in north east Scotland, wish you all the luck in future videos. ❤

[@skyburner1]

Thanks for sharing your projects , really enjoy the channel!

[@robertlusnia506]

Looking awesome can't wait for the siding

[@texgem]

Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers.

[@jrnamida5470]

We/I look forward to your continued video story...

[@KrissBartlett]

Looks good with it all filled in

[@jrpritchard1622]

awesome yall are getting so close to completion be safe have a great week

[@ThisOffGridLife]

we are are nowhere near completion lol

[@stephenmartin8587]

I’ve been watching your videos for ages and I love your videos keep up the good work and stay safe

[@bobtucker8875]

Great 👍 content guys. Very interesting 🤔 how your doing the siding. Thanks for sharing.

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

Looking good as a mock-up! Yes, sliding doors and windows are a poor idea. Cut metal, turn cheap blade backwards. Really works. I do corrugated roofing and siding this way. A nibbler works even better.

[@suelotts7177]

Look at Katie go cutting that metal! Way to go. You 2 can be proud of your work. Craig is a master n Katie is a fast learner

[@scottmorris4914]

So glad to see he left his job on a good note where he can still use the shop, and hopefully have access to stuff removed from old jobs. Like the scrap bin.

[@johnson8950]

As someone who has worked with winter deadlines I understand what it is like trying to get a house warm and water tight before the weather change. You also mentioned about safety glasses, I have been wearing bifocals for decades and the last time I had to get my perception changed I asked if they make them as safety glasses. They said sure your looking at the wrong frames you need these here. It turned out I got them for no more money than normal. Check into that I'm sure that you can get it done in Canada as easily as in the USA.

[@loucinci3922]

ok...trim looks great! nice start

[@michelletique259]

At 8:30 Juniper makes your video funny. We have the same kind of dog ... :)
