Concrete Countertops DIY in our Alaska Log Home

[@TheRhonda1957]

I love those boys and their attitude and work ethic.

[@dbetom4101]

They are set for life in learning all these fantastic skills!

[@garymorgenroth1734]

Joas, you have so much to be proud of. The example you set for others is something the whole world needs. Your family is a perfect example of what a family should be. It was the way I grew up. Learning all the way and making mistakes and moving on. I share your videos with many as an example of a really good family working together. Blessings Gary

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you Gary!

[@jillkeim3587]

You are a patient man, Joas! Those countertops were quite laborious, but turned out looking beautiful! Patience is indeed a virtue! 😊

[@OneDawn4All]

I had exactly the same thought!! You are Blessed to be a blessing, Joas!! 🥰

[@betsyschaffitzel1044]

There aren’t enough words to describe how exciting this has been to watch you all build your home from the ground up! So many learning experiences you all have shared with us! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Your family is a shining light! God is Good!

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you so much!!

[@OneDawn4All]

💯%!! 🥰

[@lsto6983]

Each person , down to little Chloe, has learned so much from this special build. The importance of teamwork and the amazing skills of J + E you’ve taught them all. Awesome. Love the bear claw countertop.

[@lillianmiller1456]

You all just do "extraordinary work "in making it a home to live in and have wonderful "memories" in doing it all as a "family unity" and I know "God is smiling" upon you all making it as a "home" that you can "always cherish" in doing it together as a family. 😊🤗❤🙏

[@GrannyS217]

These young boys are amazing! Craftsmen at 16. We need more of this in our country! Wasn’t sure I would like the concrete but you as usual made it special! Can’t wait for the tour!

[@merinashylaja2549]

What a joy to build your own house, such a hardworking and talented family and the friends who are helping you. May God bless you all in everything you do.. Love you all. 2 Corinthians 9: 8, Psalm 20 :4

[@elizabethprickett7934]

Amen!

[@manuelagama9422]

Hello family, I really admire your perseverance despite the difficulties. They have children that I admire a lot, but they simply follow in the footsteps and teachings of their parents. I love your family may God bless you always hugs ❤❤❤❤❤ Portugal

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you so much🤗

[@raquelhernandez1733]

Joas and Priscilla, all I have to say that you are a force to be reckoned with! It is a joy to see, with so much work involved, everything is so well executed. Each one of them children help without been asked. The two older boys are so knowledgeable about everything that has to do with the construction of the beautiful house. Priscilla, you and Joas are such amazing parents! The girls and the younger boy are such a big help as well. I can't hardly wait to see the next video of your moving. God bless you all and keep you safe! ( the kitchen looks beautiful beautiful!!!)

[@gillyb333]

I'm so amazed with your sons the skills they have at such a young age. You are an incredible father to teach the boys the things. A great dad, they are so beautiful. And a wonderful mother teaching her daughters all they know and do. May God bless your whole family, I also want to say the house it's so stunning and the counter tops re beautiful wow. I want to come live in your house. Lol Sending much love from Australia ❤🎉

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you so much🤗

[@julietrostvit8211]

If only more people could have had parents like you and Priscilla. Many of us barely survived it all.

[@kathybieganski1258]

I am in awe of what you have accomplished. And your sons ! Such hard workers and so capable. Avalon and your other children have been so awesome through this project. What a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@1959dixie]

Loving these longer videos. Y’all are so blessed. And the twins are gonna go far in life with all the knowledge you are teaching them. Love, love this channel. See you next Friday .

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you so much!!🤗

[@lydiagross4018]

Ur doing an amazing job in ur counter tops every thing looks so nice ❤😮can't wait to see how Percilla will decorate it😊❤❤

[@AreRisnes]

16:32 We have never heard such beautiful whistling before, we have really missed experiencing that. What an enchanting experience dear Joas Christ's Family. Oh, the real American atmosphere we get, with such clean and good whistling. No more is needed - this did us so much good. Thank you very much, our dear Amish Family. Hope we can write Amish* from time to time, it sounds so good to my peaceful ears. Kind regards from Arist Are Risnes, Norway.

[@AreRisnes]

10:28 #Bodyguard The American wording of the name Levi* is the same wording as the Norwegian word Livvakt*, which in American means Bodyguard**. Interesting. Grateful greetings from Norway.

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

How spectacular it all looks. You have great friends . Through all the crazy issues your joy shines through. Many Blessings !

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you so much!

[@gigib4076]

What a beautiful home you’ve designed and built👏👏👏

[@MontanaHaven]

Glad you like it!

[@ionecuff6323]

I told my youngest son how much I enjoy and look forward to watching your channel. I love how ALL your children are so eager to help and learn doing whatever is needed. Justin and Eathan will go a very long way and be extremely successful in life. Their eagerness to learn new skills, but more so to meticulously do everything correctly with a perfect finished product. Each of you children have been taught and have LEARNED the skills to provide themselves with shelter and food no matter what the circumstances are. You have proven that children can and are anxious to learn when they are taught CORRECTLY! That your children know how to safely use power tools is a testament to your guidance and teachings. But most importantly, you have taught them the love of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and they live in us all. That you bring them up with prayer, Bible study, church, and following the teachings and Commandments of the Bible are the best foundation a parent can give to their children. Thank you for setting the example in so many ways of what a parent really is.

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Joas and Priscilla you have raised amazing children, the team work is awesome and you have great friends . Levi was supposed a great help and Mike was a terrific friend flying In from Montana. All your hard work is paying off, you have a beautiful home .God Bless 🙏🙏🙏💕💕

Extraordinary efforts by all of your family and friends! It's exciting to see your children such an integral part of bringing your new home to life in Alaska. This will be a treasure to them throughout their lives and certainly builds their "can do" spirit. Blessings!

[@jeffwrench9994]

Your boys are very amazing

[@dorotagrodzka4742]

[@nancyrichter3016]

The counters are truly beautiful. I love that each countertop is unique. It's always so inspiring to see Justin and Ethan working so hard and doing such amazing and skilful work for their family. All the children are so wonderful, and it gives me hope for this generation. God bless!

[@elvinharder4043]

All that hard work you and your family put into your house build will pay off in the end. You'll have one beautiful log house to be proud of and you'll always have the satisfaction of knowing you and your 2 boys did basically did all the work by yourselves. I'm sure there's not too many families that can say that or accomplished such a feat by themselves. Can't wait to see your next upcoming video this weekend. Wow, may God keep blessing your family.

[@billierenshaw3302]

JUST AMAZING …YOU HAVE DONE SOOOOOO WELL EVERY THING LOOKS ARTISTIC AND I KNOW. PRICILLA WILL BE SO PROUD …YOUR FAMILY IS A WONDERFUL REPRESENTATION OF A GODLY FAMILY ….NEXT …MOVIN IN 🥰🙏🩸

Ethan and Justin are amazing young men , however I also have noticed that the other children like to help to . Wyatt surprised me how he put in door latches at his age , Avalon and Zoey are really helpful and are also skilled . Joas and Priscilla it goes without saying what great Christian parents you are ,that is why your children are so wonderful. Enjoy following your vlog , it is never boring always interesting to watch . Love you all and have a Happy Easter ! ❤️✝️🙏🏻❤️

[@shirleyfrazier4476]

Joas, I never realized how much work went into building a new house. You, Ethan and Justin have done a great job. I can just imagine how iit will feel to walk through your house and know that you did it all yourselves. God bless you and your family.

[@InChristalone14]

The time and attention to even the smallest detail is incredible when you stop and consider your timeline. I am amazed as always. It's all coming together so beautifully. The countertops look great!!!

Thank you very much!

[@willglueck3156]

When I'm watching videos from this family I feel a lot better, thanks for sharing.

[@pamelacrowell2007]

Everything is looking good but instead of acid etch ok h, I would have tried painting with acrylic paint, using a fine brush to lightly put in the veins then seal. That brown of the veins is startling! But still looks pretty good. You and the boys have really gained some new skills on this build!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Your home is absolutely a work of art.. Your boys will be master carpenters.. Their attention to detail is amazing..God bless..Look forward to see your home done..Thanks for taking us along on this journey 🇺🇸❤️🌹

[@jeanninedelory5417]

I’m always excited each week to tune in to your Montana Haven-Alaska edition. Your counters are all gorgeous!! Yes, Definitely unique!! I loved your comment, “I don’t think any one had a countertop quite like this one in a bathroom and I probably could never duplicate it again so please don’t ask me to make you one just like it!” Lol!! Though Joas I believe you, your boys, are so skilled, (not to forget to mention the help of Priscilla and Avalon), that you could create many unique counter tops, just as your Dad’s family business, builds those beautiful Meadowlark log homes. Who knows maybe the Lord has plans for you to create unique countertops for people to have in their homes to be looked at each day and enjoy such a Beautiful piece of artwork! God bless your new home and the Miller family❤✝️

My excitement is mounting! You’re almost ready to move in-actually today is April 1st so that means as I write this comment you’re already moved in and enjoying your new home. Yaaay! I’m so impressed with how amazingly beautiful everything is turning out-especially the concrete bear and moose track bathroom counters. Several videos back when you said you were going to pour concrete countertops, I thought, “ho-hum.” Was I dead wrong! Your countertops just pop. They look very high-end, artistic and extraordinaire!!
