[@patriciarussell756]

Those lights look so good! Wow!

[@judyrowen9194]

Great job on the mudroom, Guys! Can't wait to see it with windows. How exciting for your family!

[@charlenegrady8781]

Great job Guy's ! cant wait to see the rest.

[@stephenkennedy9205]

Looking good folks it soon will be closed in.God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@paulvanhouts3365]

G’day Mel and Gary, just a thought while you do that hammering to move headers into place: I have an old stove iron, one that lived on the top of the wood fired stove to heat it up to iron clothes, I use it as my “dolly” to put behind the impact zone to stabilize the wood as well as provide a like dead low when you hammer. It stabilizes the workpiece. As you noticed tapping those in piece at a time stops the annoying binding, just as I’m typing this I note that you are doing it. It’s coming along nicely and will be a nice light room with those windows. Stay safe guys.

[@wadeprior5203]

Good afternoon you guys I'm proud of you guys looks like the mud house is getting a lot better now you guys keep up the good work may God bless you guys and have a great day❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mrrs8118]

Nice progress! Have you seen the cement siding that looks like real logs? Check out Good Simple Living’s house build in Idaho to see what they used to side their house. (Need to scroll back a good ways as they have finished the main house.) They also did the posts and beams in a star shape that Gary was talking about. 😊

[@hellishrage6555]

I love what you guys are doing so just keep living your best life. Me and the family love you guys and there is nothing you can do about it.

[@descrazielyfe4446]

Wow the porch is looking fantastic. It totally looks like an enclosed porch!

[@Foritime]

Looking good 😊 Yes! Be safe always...😊

[@brendasutterfield9834]

I love all of you guys and there is nothing anyone of you can do about it . I have been with you guys for a long time and there’s no nothing you can do about it either . I love Simple life Reclaimed and CRC and you guys can’t do anything about it about me loving all of you guys . ❤

[@RonaldSleath]

Thats a really big mud room! 👍

[@laurieentenman5984]

Its coming along. ❤ Great job😊

[@claireburkus8497]

Love the outdoor solar street lamp for your property!!! Would love a motion sensor one here in my Tulsa little yard but a big model would not make neighbors happy😂 👵🏼 not a homesteader here but would have loved the option when younger!!! Motion sensor would probably drive. You all nuts with all the critter activity around you ….so wise to be able to extend your days there!! Enjoying your building projects too !!! Making a home for sure❤❤

[@charlenefoster6779]

Team work makes the dream work as you always say! Great work you guys. Looks awesome.

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

It was a big job but we got it done!

[@SusanCoggins-c7h]

Looking great ..yalls work ethic is inspiring..Mel you are a go getter👍👍👍👍👍

[@loycemarch8409]

Made me think of my 2nd hubby building. I am daughter of carpenter. I told my hubby if he built the ark it would have sunk.

[@kateatthegate771]

oh wow its going to look amazing!!! You worked hard, time to play hard! have a good one 🥰

[@ericjohnson1008]

Looking great y'all.

[@amynelson9467]

I am so impressed with how much you have accomplished in the building of your new homestead. You guys are an inspiration for others to take that same step of faith. I know your inspiration for the need of a mudroom inspired this addition, with so many windows 🤔 sun/mud room? I love lots of windows too. 😅 Great job guys! Can't wait to see the finished product 😄

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

It’s gonna be great for letting the sunshine in. ☀️

[@nicolameek305]

How amazing does that look, and it's just the framing. It's going to look lush. ❤

[@lorilarkin827]

Gary have fun with your brother and your friends. Hugs

[@charlene107]

Love watching you work together. Nice job.

[@richardgreenlaw1442]

Looking great 👍 👌

[@TheSmdl]

Cute future room. I would have left a full wall to create a closet for all the coats and boots/shoes and winter/summer gear.

[@vickiemounts2962]

I would have done that too. Put hooks for jackets and build a bench seat to take muddy, wet shoes and boots off, then store them underneath.

[@brucealfman1108]

Good job Gary and Mel you work good together. ❤❤

[@debiholloway7703]

Doesn’t look like there’s gonna be any wall space afraid it’s gonna be cold as ice in the winter time with all windows and no floor insulation ..

[@lindamaskus5142]

​@debiholloway7703 who cares? It's a porch. I dont know of many porches that are heated!

[@benjeffreys9378]

You guys are awesome keep up the great content ❤😊

[@carlapierle8623]

A gable roof will look awesome on your porch with that cabin look wagon wheel kinda deal. I must have missed when you discussed the type of roof you were planning for the sunroom. I miss a lot, so I try to avoid asking questions assuming it's probably been covered at some time...Lol.

[@DianeWilson-q7i]

VERY BEAUTIFUL LOVE YOUR HOUSE 🏠

[@his4evr2c]

Looking Good Gary and MeL 😍💕😍💕😍

[@MichelleHilton-vg4ez]

Have you thought about not putting windows along one side of the mud room ? You could put more storage along that wall.

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Decided to do this

[@Gypsy_Trails]

Looking amazing guys!

[@annamaybeekman]

I REALLY LOVE THE FRAMING IN THIS MUDROON ITS QUITE BEAUTIFUL LOVE YOU ANNAMAY

Thank you Lesley 🤗

[@hamimahatan6307]

Good job, Gary n Mel❤❤

[@LauraScholzloop]

Turn the knob on the nail gun to sink the nails all the way in. Then you don't have to use the hammer.

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

have built in coat hooks and shoe rack with bench in your mud room

[@starlenekalinski5633]

That’s going to be a fun place to hang out.

[@timwolters1969]

OK I was one that was worried, so Thaks for letting us know your very careful when doing all the Cuttting

[@ardenehanson2840]

I remember when you started this adventure! Long time ago. But a whisper in time! 😅❤❤❤

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Time flies! We're so happy to have you along for the journey 🤗

[@jamesjessee4064]

❤️🙋‍♂️👍😊 good luck fishing 🎣

[@roberthughes2665]

Noo Waay Gary overdoing it. I would have never guessed that 😂😅😂. I was assuming roof like the deck. Gable out front will be awesome and give it character. A pain to do the Valleys but you'll figure it out.

[@thomastimothy777]

Mr Gary forced to diligently work around this nail gun wielding cutie pie!! 5:30

[@laurierowan1632]

Great job 👏

[@alandixon3246]

Great Job Gary and Mellany SLR 👋

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Thanks, we're excited to be getting closer to finishing the mudroom!

[@kathleenalleman2373]

Great job you both have done soʻ far. Keep up your great work 👏 👍

[@AuntieAnn]

Wow it's looking perfect 💪❤️❤️

[@jerrygorter7608]

Hey guys you may already know this but if you don’t want to hammer after using the nail gun you can increase the pressure, if that’s possible with what you have. Thanks concerned viewer.😊

[@chandrasutton4669]

Another great video, with more great progress!!!😊🎉❤ Bravo!!!😊

[@kennethsears5041]

That looks so good I like that

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

It is gonna be fabulous very soon.

[@maryboone903]

you're coming right along ca n t hardly wait to see it finished.😊

[@brendamoody1309]

Beautiful job guys. Looking 👍 great. You both are very hard workers. Enjoy watching all the accomplishments. Have a great visit with your brother.❤😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Byeee!

[@mscorenda]

That is going to be beautiful Gary

[@myrtlemorris1288]

I liked your choice of music mud room is coming along good

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Thank you! I knew SOMEONE would catch a vibe with us. 😎😎😎

[@MelissaMalzahn]

I agree star front rafters would be cool plus if you can use cedar trees post for the ends over the porch too. I really love your all season room. ❤❤

[@marierklassen7985]

Great work on you house thank you for sharing another great video 📹 I'm just wondering will those lights work in -50 to-60 c ? I tried to find the information maybe I mist it . From Marie in Northern British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Talk about teamwork! Very cool video!

[@BigJim-zh9gr]

Just a suggestion, if you hold the trigger on the framing gun and bump the wood it will sink the nails. Just holding the gun loose and pulling the trigger will cause the gun to spring back and not sink the nails. Just a thought.

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Gary you wouldn’t be Gary if you didn’t overthink the roof on the mud room build lol 😂

[@peggyblack1739]

Looks good

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Thanks! It's taking shape.

[@kentneeley4783]

Happy evening coffee…. Well it is for me… build looking good.. be safe

[@estellaknox9285]

I like it can't wait too see the finishing ❤

[@lisamanly4526]

The background music is very distracting. I love you guys and love hearing you work and the power tools etc. Great job on the mud room!!

[@debiholloway7703]

Not a fan of the so called music either

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Sorry you feel that way. Music is a big part of creative expression, and not everyone will connect with us every time - and that's okay 🤗 We will continue to be US and express ourselves as we feel. (Listen to the lyrics, might catch what we were throwin😎) God Bless You

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Oh, so not just the mudroom? Have some respect ​@@debiholloway7703

[@paulineoconnell6734]

@@lisamanly4526 that's so true any other time the music is good 😊 but I didn't like the sound of it 😕

[@54maggiemoo]

Looks so good.

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Those lights are nice and I bet ya’ll have enjoyed having them

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

We've really enjoyed using them!

[@KenCady-vr6xi]

I thought the nail gun had an adjustment 😅

[@DrBillB]

Don't forget do oil your air nailer before using also you may need just a little more air pressure so you don't have to go back and beat it with a hammer doing a good job keep it up you'll be there before you know it

[@MarcusBjorkander]

Great job, you guys! It’s already clear to see that the mud room is going to be a beautiful and sturdy room, with all those windows. I reacted to when Gary mentioned the roof angle though. Are you really considering having a different roof angle (4:12) on the mud room than on the main cabin (5:12)? If you have the same angle on both (5:12) not only will it look visually more harmonious but maybe even more important: the math will fall out so much easier. If you match the roof angles the roof valleys, overhangs etc. will all turn out to exactly 45 degrees, which will make it easier. Just a thought. Good job and good luck!

[@paulshuppert4975]

The flash ain't got nothing on you Mel, surprised you didn't cause a time paradox

[@ronaldsnider8078]

I hope you brought double pane windows to help keep the cold out. That rooms going to be hard to cool or warm with no insulation per say.

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Yes! Double pane windows and insulation are definitely part of the plan!

[@bradcable6]

To the edge and I'm about to break!
