[@elwhitman4779]

I crossed paths with Gary today and feel like I met a celebrity. What a delightful person. Every bit as charming in person as on the show. What a lovely family. Nice to meet you Gary.

[@mylittlehomestead]

Nice to have met you. you are kind. Have a great day.

[@sth.777]

Bullet is the eternal optimist! I love how the dogs are always a part of what you're doing; most of all, I think they feel the cooperation and partnership within the family for all of your awesome projects!

[@starrrivers7998]

You guys are so awesome! I love your beautiful family. You guys are so talented and inventive. Super inspiring. Sending you all love and blessings always.

[@Lulu4Him]

Loved Azalia splashing around in the pool. So cute! The tub is going to be a perfect addition. Hey! I have a great idea, why don't you do a vid , or a weekly peek, on the dogs/pets bring you balls/toys to throw and interacting with you. It'd be so funny to see how you guys playing together. Love you guys! xox

[@nuttibuddy]

I am seriously in love with Baily. So pretty and intelligent. Love the way she really wants to help and has found ways to help.

[@amandataub842]

It was wonderful to catch up with Perry & Bailey, Garen, Ellie, & Azalea, as well as, everyone at My Little Homestead. It is nice to see you start another project.

[@misallisonwonderland]

Love the new word by Gary, “Roundify”!! So pleased to see Bailey doing so well!!

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Bailey is definitely living her best life and her owner seems like he is too! Great stuff!

[@petsrgr8t]

So nice to see Bailey with her tail wagging so much, she looks so happy! Very excited to see the bathtub addition and the shower revision. Hope y’all have a great week!

[@OceanCrazie]

Awe, Bailey looks amazing! Great job Uncle Perry! 🤟🤗 Thank you for being amazing for Bailey!

[@cynthiat6505]

You guys gave yourself away...”soon and very soon”...was sure before, now I’m positive.

[@nekkidnora]

Anyone else get a little thrill in their belly to see the roll of earthbags??

[@rickstevens1479]

Happy rescue dog, always puts a smile on our faces..

[@ravent3016]

A happy dog is a beautiful creature to see.

[@jenny28216]

Well, that's a creative way walk the dog😀!!! Bailey looks like she's having fun!!!!

[@tat2miss]

You all are so inspiring! I’ll watch an episode and feel emboldened to start on a project in my house or garden that I wouldn’t have attempted. Thank you and keep doing all the good you do.

[@gart9680]

Back to bagging! Bag-building: that's the reason I first started watching your channel. It was quite sentimental watching you do it again. When I first started watching, I was looking for alternative ways/materials to build a shed/fun hut. Unfortunately bagging isn't really viable, both practically & financially, in the East coast of Scotland. Too wet/cold & it was cheaper to use reclaimed house brick (and pallets). I loved/love the hobbit element of you guys bag-building your structures though.

[@jupekai4601]

Have you checked out Kris Harbour Natural Building? He is in Wales where it rains almost as much as it does here in West Scotland.

[@mikerev1160]

have you looked into sod houses/ blackhouse?

[@aka1gbr]

Bree is Soooo Awesome and Beautiful !

[@crystalelk]

Hi Family! So nice to see the bath & shower upgrade! Boy your going to have to put up a schedule for " Bath Time"! Once your in it with the Jets going, well you'll wonder what took you so long (jk)! Great addition & well deserved! Sending positive vibes your way 🙏. Peace love dream's ❣️🇨🇦 💞🌐📷📽️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯🌅🌎💜🌍💚🌏🌄🕊️💗🐑🎬😉

[@MsJWheels]

Van is coming along nicely. What fun it will be to take her out on the inaugural adventure. Tub and shower build is getting interesting. Can't quite see the ultimate combined vision. Something to look forward to. It's sure to delight, surprise, and inspire. Take care and God bless.

[@designdoctor247]

Our family is over the moon 🌙 excited about your outdoor shower remodel and new outdoor 🛀 bathtub! 🌟⭐ 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 idea!!!

[@granny1694]

Bailey❤️ and the whole family is so wonderful!

[@bledsoerobyn2581]

Every time I watch you guys you make me smile

[@fuzzylop9164]

Azalea is so cute in the pool. I love how you allow the dogs help.😊 Bailey has improved so much. They are a pair ment to be.

[@jerrywhidby.]

Rammed earth walls would be gorgeous.

[@MissTiff84]

Only my favourite family on KZbin 🥰👍

[@sheliaberry877]

"Family Time" with y'all and your projects is always fun - all looking good & excited about your tub and shower area - I look forward to watching. each week. Seeing Azalea always makes me smile. God bless

[@Djauntywanker]

YEAAAH EARTH BAG BUILD!!! ITS BACK BABY!

[@Nikepo]

Two years ago, because of your videos, I built myself an outside shower. I just was so enamored by this idea of showering outside and my goodness it really is so amazing. Because of the wind in our area either early morning and late at night is main time we can use it, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Any of our guest that come out and have a chance to use it say its the best shower they've had. Thanks so much for all your ideas! I cannot wait to see what you do with the tub xD

[@mylittlehomestead]

so cool.

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Every Friday evening I look forward to your video with my dinner for a 'dinner and a movie' night. Never disappointed. Thank you for sharing your family adventures. Take care, stay well and keep having fun.

[@nekkidnora]

Perry has been such a wonderful dog owner for Bailey, it warms my heart to see how good a home you guys found her, and how happy she is. All of my dogs have been rescues, and I find they just blossom so much with a little love and patience, and it's wonderful seeing that same change in other dogs. Good job, Perry!!

[@suzannegriswold7555]

Aww. Azalea swimming..so cute!! You guys make it all look so easy. Loved seeing all the dogs and the pig too. Know the tub area is going to be amazing.

[@artemiszero2153]

Idea for your family, create the walls with the earthbags for the shower and the bath tub, but with some sort of glass roof. Maybe find away to you to use some glass bottles for a glass roof. I would love to see each episode that were a little bit longer like over 20 minutes, possibly closer to 30 minutes because this episode was too short.

[@jacobsabrina74]

I agree. At the end of every weekly peek, I just don't want it to end!

[@roots8924]

So excited to see how the van and show/tub area turns out! You all do such a great job!!! Thank you for your shares and cares!!! Love and light.

[@jeanninebutland3834]

Beautiful Bailey

[@leeayson6150]

Wow! Baily is getting alot of TLC from your uncle. I'm so happy for her.

[@frankiecarrel1369]

I just wanted to let you know I enjoy watching All of the video you put out I think you're family is Amazing God-bless you all

[@kscheuerman5378]

You guy's are the best! I enjoyed the progress on the outdoor bathtub shower enclosure project!!!!!!! Pallets are so wonderful to work with! Loved seeing Bailey & Eugene! Thanks for sharing everything!!!!!

[@brendadavis4254]

I just love watching your videos and i watch anything that comes up old or new.. They are interesting enough to watch 2 or 3 times... GOOD JOB GUYS......and it also brings back memories of building play houses as a child. I lived on a farm and boy did we build some great play houses.

[@srqlisa7881]

After racing with uncle Perry I think Bailey needs his own outside shower. Kudos Perry you have done wonders with Bailey. Stay cool folks. : ) peace

[@tiamariebrundage]

A suggestion on the bath tub! For the kitchen you did the awesome design with the tree theme, why not do something special with the tub and make it feel like it's a natural spring and have stones decorating the outside. Maybe have the water spout look as though it is it's water streaming out of the rock as a stream.

[@thereturningshadow]

Garen, Another way to keep your vertical trim pieces from breaking when installing them is make a series of horizontal cuts about 1/2" to 1" apart the whole length of the board, only about half way thru the board which will allow your board to spread a bit when installing it.

[@briandavis28]

Gary your looking good buddy. Thank the good Lord.

[@edehatherley7471]

Love what your doing with the van :) Hey Garen and Ellie, when I useded dressed-one-side pine boards on an inside wall, I ran the boards thru my table saw to angle the edges. This way the board edges fit behind one another, hiding the wall behind the boards. An alternative to ship lap or tongue and groove, I guess. : ) In addition to that, I stapled tar paper to the wall so that if you could see thru any gaps between the boards, it just looked black. the same way you painted the van walls. Love watching your videos on the van conversion. And beautiful family! :)

[@bertielancaster547]

As ever, a great vlog. So excited about shower and outdoor tub. Love and blessing for you all.xox💓🙏🏼

[@RoseLawrence765]

Really enjoying the new build and the van remodel💞🎈 have a super weekend🎈

[@marshaloveridge1527]

Can’t wait to see the finished van and tub conversion!

[@shirleycarter2451]

Great to see Gary in more video shots, and loved watching the dogs join in on the build. Have a great weekend, and keep safe 😘🤩🤩🤩

[@cassandergreene906]

Thank you for sharing. Bless You.😇😇😇

[@jacobsabrina74]

My family thinks it would be cool if you guys did a quick slide show at the end of your weekly videos of how your family has changed/grown since 1st moving to the country-to right now, and change it when another new baby joins the crew!

[@hallenw]

Wow! Bailey really likes gravel!

[@designdoctor247]

The van the van wow!!!!!!!!!

[@PippiLong1]

Watching your dog digging reminds me that we had a dog that assisted us when digging pole holes...... we'd start one spot and our dog would finish digging. Team work. Can't wait to see the Jacuzzi up and running. Ahhh relaxing in the late evening with a glass of wine 🍷 and the outside elements. The van is coming along great. Nice to see Bailey really happy with Uncle Perry. Still waiting for Azalea posing with the family at the end of the video. See ya Monday!!!

[@mumu6203]

Lolz, the dog at 12:42 :D. I don't think there is a more suitable couple than Garen and Ellie. Ellie fits perfectly.

[@cheryllee5608]

Love you guys never get bored of watching you sending love from uk

[@markghero]

thanks for using the yellow scarf with the dog.

[@WorthyMissJ]

My cat still comes running to watch whenever I put you guys on. I swear he loves you guys more than he loves me! And I'mokay with that.

[@hbkgirl1982]

Bullet wants to play every time the earthbags are being worked with

[@davee7962]

Always nice when Eugene gets a cameo.

[@sunnyqzado3455]

Go team Eugene!!

[@-sstevens5444]

Safety glasses when sawing... you guys are influencers for many viewers.... 💙💚😎

[@cassandergreene906]

She gonna have a lot to do. Yall have something going on all the time. This little lady will be busy.😇😇😇

[@TheArtisanbard]

no big deal, just fix the vac while I'm working. Garen you never cease to amaze me. Love the sock filter. The outdoor bath area should have the WOW factor since yall have learned so much from all your other builds. Can't wait to see what transpires. Are you going to make an outdoor kitchen eventually? or go back to the underground greenhouse build?

[@timbersdad08]

If you lay a steel cable, old chain, junky rebar or whatever over water or power lines, they are easy to find with a metal detector. I did this in the camp ground/resort I built. Made finding lines very easy.

[@emilyhill652]

chip is working so hard! i love the effort. hahah

[@kasumiegoto325]

I’m so excited you guys are doing this outdoor bath tub. I cannot wait to see how it turns out. I’m sure it’ll look gorgeous as all your ideas always do come out amazing! Keep up the hard work guys!

[@roselivingston8577]

Goo good job Everybody ❤️

[@pamelas9]

I really appreciate seeing how artistic and flexible you all are. I'm such a stickler for straight lines and things that look perfect start to finish, you just dive in and keep working on it until you reach your vision. Such an inspiration and good to see, as I am the parent of an artistic child and the approach/process can be more organic and its a lesson I'm learning.

[@valeriesanders6026]

You guys are amazing! So creative!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Everything is moving along. I always thought your shower looked cute. I like the cutouts so cute. Looking forward to seeing how it will look when it is done. Same with the van I was wondering how things were go with that cute little sweet pie around. The van is looking good too. All of the animals look like they are doing great. It was nice seeing Baily again. God Bless see you next week.

[@leeannmarsh2815]

Don’t forget to build in some under the bed drawers on casters or wheels. More storage, tuck it underneath the bed platform, carry extra linens, etc.

[@annar6430]

Erren,Pallet Perfector

[@vivianwilliams2216]

It's a good thing you had Chip to help, you would have never found that drain ! LOL ! 😄👍💕💕💕

[@wbwillie]

the baby is so precious, love you guys

[@conradhomestead4518]

Another great video! As always.

[@tinamariegregory3130]

Another great video !

[@trentboone8104]

Great show

[@cassandergreene906]

Hey Family.!!! 😇😇😇

[@monicafelton2088]

Enjoy you all stay safe please God bless.

[@JR4LifeRoyxo]

u guys are so awesome

[@briansiverns2422]

You guys are awesome. I want to be in your family!

[@saccaed]

The outdoor tub is a good idea.

[@TwistedArtLady]

My family has a golden lab named Bailey, he was a rescue too ❤

[@joycejones6015]

I know this was a good video but family, I have visitors and I couldn’t concentrate on you so I’ll get up early tomorrow and watch while they’re asleep. See you for the podcast!💕

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

Lookin’ good! It will be great to see it all go together.

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

cant wait to see the finished job

[@lemmonjeepgrl]

I always enjoy your videos

[@stevecobb6001]

WOW. so would love an out door shower! Great content as always

[@madmex2k]

Roundify is definitely a math/tech term, if not, it is now. I see dad bods or even pregnant moms in muscle/maternity t-shirts with some form of "Roundified", "I've been roundified!", on them. Hilarious! Gary has a great sense of humor.

[@AwakeLazarus]

Have you ever thought of through hiking the PC Trail, from Southern California to Canada, I think you would find that an epic adventure.

[@joycejones6015]

I did see Bailey though!💕

[@cbshomebizplane]

All the dogs look happy and healthy and the van is looking good, Azelia is ready to go to work LoL you all are like ants just keep on working and building a new project LoL, is Perry finely going back to work LoL my truck didn't make me money unless the wheels were turning and burning LoL 😂😜😂. God bless you all and have a great weekend 🙏.

[@barbaradace7952]

The moment I saw Bryson with that drill extension I was all “WHAT IS THAT?!?! I MUST HAVE IT!!!” Thanks for clueing me in to the existence of the Jelbo :-)

[@PatJamesRicketts]

My dog Jo is just like Bailey! I have a video of my girl on my channel for comparison. Jo was a rescue as well. The first time I saw bailey I couldn't believe how similar they look, like long lost (long eared) sisters:)

[@pamelaleone2926]

Worried about you guys, hope all is well!

[@ozsimflyer]

So guys, what’s the plans for the hoop barn? Been waiting for that project for ages 😀👍

[@dinacrow7164]

Have you considered raising it a bit.. So that when you drain the tub...it can water some plants, so nothing is wasted!! Which is always efficient!!!

[@camwinston5248]

Good vid..and YAAAY pig !

[@rodw]

What do you think about using pallet wood for a DIY Kitchen flooring?? FYI We liv3 in a double wide mobile home.right now entire home is down to subfloor. We appreciate your advice and help and any suggestions from you or anyone else 😊😁😊!!! We have limited mobility but I have to get it done myself. Can't afford to hjre a pro and I like trying to figure out how to get the job done by my common sense (not so common) LOL btw I love all the PUNS !!! BREE is the QUEEN !!! oh yeah and the German accents.

[@_WillCAD_]

Love the earth bags. Will you be putting a roof over the tub? I don't know how it is in the desert, but I'm in Maryland, and anything without a roof here gets quickly covered with pollen, leaves, buds, bugs, grass cuttings, all sorts of junk. Not to mention rain and other precipitation. Question for Garen and Ellie: When working with pallets, you cut the nails to quickly break them down. What do you do about the nail heads? Knock 'em out with a nailset, or cut the ends off the boards before use? ETA: Just saw your vid from 2016 explaining where you got your earth bags. Have you made more purchases from the same supplier or are you getting them domestically now?

[@dianeparry1260]

How is Ben getting on in his apartment? Are you putting bag walls around the shower? A humming bird epoxy on the wall would be so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your projects with us. 😊
