Digging The Foundation // Pouring Concrete // Drilling The Well // In Unseasonably Heavy Rainfall

[@turpinrachael]

Some day those boys will be the best contractors/builders in the business! Great job 👏 Even with the obstacles you keep working with a positive attitude. Thanks for letting us watch the fun.

[@musiclady60]

What a difference it makes rearing kids with no tv. They’re calmer, politer, more obedient, less whiny and far less “entitled”. Great job mom and dad.

[@imsharonl2]

I’ve never seen young men work so hard and they seem to enjoy it! Remarkable young men! You and Priscilla have done an amazing job raising them! You should be proud🙏🙏

[@rudyorpington3152]

Absolutely true!!!

[@sophiakubash7856]

Joas I have to say I just love your family. You and Priscilla should be very proud of your children. You all are such hard workers. God bless you and you move to Alaska.

[@c.c.cherokee978]

You and your wife are raising wonderful children!! Of course raising them unto the Lord is the best way ! As a grandmother I'm very proud of you guys!!!

[@dianapollex3266]

AMEN!!❤

[@Grace2Hope]

Joas, you have the BEST attitude! All that rain and mud would make most people very grouchy! I would be a crazy person if I had to hang out in that mess.

[@janetbradbury5021]

It takes a lot of patience and perseverance to build a house right there in the wet weather. It looks like a sturdy foundation. What a wonderful opportunity for the family to build their own house.

[@musiclady60]

I love watching your precious family. My niece is in Fairbanks but I think you are in prettier country. Blessings on all your projects.

[@noriwlaschin9292]

Your boys are such good helpers, so well behaved.

[@musiclady60]

This mound make a great Bible lesson! No matter what occurs, rain, storms, setbacks, you keep going with what God told you to do.

[@sariahinlandbountiful9366]

No exact words to describe your amazing family & how well equipt you are Joas with all the tools & “technical know how” that is needed to build your house! Your twin boys has a a lot of future to be an A1 builders & contractors!👍 You & Priscilla really raise these kiddos very well…. Your family unity, self-reliance, hardwork & discipline is enormous and unbelievable!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You are such a “model family” that everyone should adore. Very proud of you guys!!!🥰 I hope one day I will meet all of you in person.😃 All Montana Haven/Chloe Avalon vlogs always made my day & can’t get over with it that often I watched it for twice even thrice at time!😜 “I TAKE MY HAT OFF” to you Joas, Priscilla & kiddos!!!❤️ Sending my hugssss, kissessssss😘 & love to all of you!!!🥰😍😛

[@applemac100100]

Check out “good simple living” youtubers who are nearly finished building home in North Idaho it’s amazing.

[@serenagomez3864]

What an amazing family!!! Photography is so good! These children are going to have fun looking back at these videos.

[@tignim231]

It's looking good! Keep up the great work children🛠🛠🛠

[@juanitawilsongay7832]

Joas sounds very calm even though having to go through the aggravation of all the rain and mud, and weather not cooperating. God Bless yall.. It will all be worth it in the end..

[@lauragraham3904]

I love it all, your work ethic, your attitudes, the way you are as a family, but I must say I was especially delighted to see Wyatt and the nurse without a mask on in a clinic setting!🙌How it should be. Hallelujah!

[@jenniferlee7167]

Your sons are amazing! They have developed a great skillset for building your new home. Loved seeing the progress. In spite of all the rain, you kept on going and it really paid off! Looking forward to future updates! God Bless and enjoy the fish!

[@danzimmerman8440]

Nothing stops you guys, great job to all. So awesome how you shut down the home project and take the family fishing. Also Priscilla taking a break to Florida, don’t know how you all get so much in. Once again great video. Thank you

[@richardgregory1137]

You’re a great dad. The lessons and experiences you and your children and learning will last a life time. Great job dad!

[@MontanaHaven]

Thank you Richard and blessings!

[@thlsralv]

I'm always amazed at the breadth of your skills! Those boys are fantastically knowledgeable too. So happy your progress has been steady!

[@shellypontz4155]

I am thrilled for your new life adventure and being able to watch the progression is just awesome! The work ethic you instill in the children is a rare and valuable commodity in this day and age. Positively wonderful family!!!

[@ginac9008]

It is wonderful to see the building of your home is a family affair. Really enjoying watching it, from the beginning and thank you Joas for the effort you put into the videos for us all to see your progress.

[@janh519]

You are teaching your boys so well! Positive in every thing you do and the way you train them! The same goes for Priscilla, too! You are wonderful parents! She is teaching the girls to be wonderful cooks and to do everything well around the house! I know you have taught your children to belong to God! When it comes for spouses for your children when they grow up, I’m not sure how they will find those who will be appropriate for themselves, but I pray that they will! 🙏

[@jinxie228]

My goodness, I am loving every video. Y'all are teaching your children such GREAT values, critical thinking skills and hard work. Thank you so much for bringing us along with you to share in this exciting venture. WAY to go Priscilla for jumping and helping out, my goodness I remember helping my dad when I was in my 20's when we dug out a basement and spreading the concrete, that's backbreaking heavy work. Much appreciation for what y'all are doing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Praying 🙏🏻 for more sunshine ☀ and less rain 🌧!!!!

[@reginabell475]

what wonderful progress.... You and your wife are such wonderful parents to your children.... you r raising them to know what its like to work for what u have..... God Bless y'all

[@roxygiddens9898]

Love seeing the progress on your home! So sorry you had so much rain to delay you, but you did not let it stop you! Great attitude and that’s what it takes! Your boys have such a good worth ethic, too. Also, I should add Avalon and Chloe are great helpers as well! I pray God will keep you all safe as you build your home. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you! Loved loved loved the fishing pictures at the end! So adorable!

[@amazinggracefields]

MMM good food :)

[@jillkeim3587]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving us this great reprieve from the current state of the world. Your videos bring peace and calmness to my world. Peace and love to all of you. I have deep respect and admiration to your family.

[@michellejaggard9657]

Oh how precious those kids faces were. I just loved that. I'm glad you are so experienced in the ICF and the Cabin Building and most of all you have such a calm even demenor. I am the same, or at least try to be. It is what it is and being upset helps nothing. You just roll with it and keep on doing your best.

[@DisneyUpBoilerUp]

Even out in the middle of nowhere, in the rain, Priscilla is still so beautiful and fashionable ❤️. The fishing pics at the end are classic 😆. I was wondering, given the normal chilly temperatures in alaska, will you be able to grow a garden? @Montana Haven I also wanted to say how perfectly in sync, almost methodically, your family works together. It's just magnificent to watch how you all help one another to build your home.

[@facsmom]

Because Alaska has nearly total sun in the summer, the vegetables they do grow can be rather large.

[@SewWhittle]

Probably a lot to do with their Amish upbringing. ❤️

[@facsmom]

Disney Up, Boiler Up! My heart and part of my pocket book belong to Purdue♥️

Even work can be play and fun when you are away from your everyday environment. Loved the video and am so happy and amazed at the twins at how hard they work.....of course the best examples are their mom and dad and your work ethics so how could they be or have a different idea. They have grown up so much, in many ways yet still young men. Good good workers. What exciting times and busy as busy can be. Everything is looks marvelous despite fighting the rain. Blessings and God keep you all safe!!!

[@robincarrico2007]

Awesome fish. that's my home The reds are good and plentiful now. Next month the silvers come in, that is some real fishing. Hope you can make it down for some of that.. I hope the weather clears off so your build goes easier. August is usually wet but you never know. I love that you have taught your kids the value of work and they are so capable.
