Building a House Start to Finish: Sawmilling a Timber Frame by Themselves

[@burnte]

Jesse’s sister is a boss. Props for proper machine maintenance!

[@wickeddr]

i was thinking the same thing lol

[@r.blakehole932]

The two of you standing triumphantly over the last cut of your last rafter was both hilarious yet, with a true feeling of triumph. That is visual art being able to get both humor and real emotion in that simple shot. Congrats you two from a fellow Idahoan.

[@desireefigg9236]

R. Blakehole, I couldn't agree more!

[@Random9409]

Always great to see Anna, as far as one can tell from these videos, she has an amazing work ethic.

[@TomFinlayson]

That pose and smiles from both of you brought a tear to my eye. Well done to you both, an incredible achievement.

[@jamflu]

the mutual respect you show for each other is a testament and lesson to all married couples. Just Awesome

[@IngDebo]

Your Sister rocks! She can do anything!

[@CemlynJones1952]

I think it is a huge achieve that you guys have milled all your own timbers and then worked on them to build your house. Great stuff.

[@andrewzanas9387]

Outstanding job, kids. In the beginning it all sounded oh so romantic. In retrospect, it has been absolutely amazing to watch this incredible journey of yours unfolding. And what a wonderful community of friends, family and supporters to have joining in on the fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@bongwatermilkshake3001]

Hikers are use to riding in the back of pickups. Props to your dad for completing the JMT! Can't wait for the next video.

[@markdenney3903]

My grandmother talked about covering cut ice with sawdust in 1915 Iowa to save the ice till august. THey had a ice house with a pit lined with saw dust and then filled with ice blocks cut from the pond. The would sell ice cream at the fourth of July. Great story hope your pipe stay warm.

[@practicalguy973]

This video had an epic grand feel to it. Really joyous and great to see everything coming together for the timber frame workshop.

[@desireefigg9236]

Delayed gratification is so much better than instant. I've really looked forward to this video! You guys are amazing and super encouraging. Thanks for sharing your "journey." Great show - epic and dramatic. Loved it. 😁

[@toms.3977]

I love Alyssa's dad. He's a real card! Love the sense of humor! Our prayers are with you all. Stay safe!!

[@CaptRich-bi3gp]

You know your doing something right (among all the other things y'all are accomplishing) when 99.9% of comments are positive! Outstanding!!!

[@jamesgow3593]

I love this channel and I'm so glad Alyssa tied her braid up

[@knobbiesshreaded3137]

One of your better videos. The excitement comes thru. A Milestone!

[@NA-sy2fm]

That is a huge milestone! Soooooooo happy for you!

[@chamilton9182]

I think this might be the best vid yet guys. I love the fast (but not too fast) action shots with the music. All hands on deck again and everyone in high spirits. I am amazed at your progress and SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! This is an epic adventure. Once again, thanks for taking us along, and God Bless!!!

[@BLHomestead]

That was a great job on putting this video together. I smiled almost the whole way through. Congrats on a job finished.

[@Vegland]

[@BruceRichardsonMusic]

The editing is REALLY banging in this video. Great job.

[@randallshular5362]

Great video ! With all the caneras and angles, Orchestra background music, and you two posing as Heroes, then the production can be called masters of your universe. LOL

[@hatemondays]

Milestones!!!! You guys are killing it...well done

[@richardrice8239]

i loved this video it had every thing for me. but the best part was the final scene milling the last log and the music playing i'm a horn player and love the sound of brass music you guys rock. the pose standing on the log was awesome super girl and super man.

[@rustybenz4532]

Alisa your Dad is a darling, you are really blessed to have such lovely parents , Good Luck mate

[@yv6eda]

I'm so, so happy for you guys! You can't denied the tools are your toys this days... Epic scene you two on top of the last log facing the shinny afternoon sun in a victorious pose! Congrats!

[@prankishsquire2663]

The action hero pose was awesome!!!

[@woxnerw]

I watched this video AgAiN for the first time.. The Camera Work and Editing is SO Good.. Thanks to everyone who worked this CLIP..

[@frederickoning191]

Congratulations! Glad you will have a change of pace and lots of excitement as you see the fruits of months of labor.

[@melodygibson4889]

Your sister rocks, she has help you alot, hope she gets her own room when she comes to visit when it's all done, you all are doing a great job,

[@dballard8660]

Great team work. Great family. Alyssa's a work horse.

[@moosescorner]

I celebrated inside a bit myself with that final timber. I wait for each video to come out to see the progress made, especially the count down to finishing the timbers. I'm so appreciate that you have been documenting the entire journey, one day maybe I'll be able to do something similar! Keep it up you to!

[@daleatkinson3453]

That one stance is The Superheros of Saw Milling!!!! LOL Good Job Guys!!!!

[@RobertHonecker]

Congratulations guys, I've been watching from the beginning. I'm so proud of you!!!

[@fighting17chicago]

I noticed the pattern of late uploads and stayed up for this one. Good night PEEPS!

[@pschensk]

Great videos! I’m excited to see the timber frame get started! I’m amazed that there are people that comment and don’t realize that they can provide feedback without sounding like a complete jerk-off.

[@alexmc4583]

just wanted to congratulate you on your milestone achievement. Great video great couple God Bless. Yeeeeeeeaaah

[@billh1471]

Greatest dual Captain Morgan shot ever!!

[@ecleveland1]

Two pumps of grease in every zerk everyday. Check oil, air filter, Hydraulic fluid and fill with clean filtered fuel at the end of every day. Check for loose oil filters and blow out the radiator daily in dusty conditions with compressed air. If you have a problem like a broke zerk fix it then do not wait. Check tires every morning and keep an eye on your gauges, if you drop oil pressure shut it off. Its only one backhoe not that hard to pull maintenance.

[@barrywinters1142]

Nice balance of work and whimsy. Heroic pose was great. CONGRATS!

[@baskervillebee6097]

The heroic music was a good touch. Lots of accomplishments to celebrate.

[@xcalybur75]

That shot of you guys on the log gave me chills.

[@rvwall-e]

It is such a pleasure to see the two of you laughing and enjoying the fruits of your hard work and planning. Anna, your parents and the Shelter folks are just incredible.

[@clippertalk]

Best thing on YT right now

[@jean-marclariviere7618]

For what it is worth...there is a Montrealer / Canadian that is really proud of both of you and your team......really...sincerely,Jean-Marc

[@anchor4346]

I am both Happy and Excited for the 2 of you. In my best years I could not imagine myself taking on something like this. NOW.. the FUN BEGINS!!

[@tonyarcus]

This is so fun to watch. We live in Hawaii, and it's getting cold here, almost need a shirt at nights. So looking forward to the next few videos of the shelter workshop. Good going guys. When you get to doing gardens look up Korean Natural Farming with Indigenous Micro Organisms.

[@ref603tech]

So happy for you guys, Been invested in watching your progress for almost a year now lol, looking forward to more!

[@jeremymiller2302]

Beautiful editing job. Just like regular television lol. Love watching.

[@thomasrussell8022]

Absolutely great video. Work and lots of fun too. Love the victory poses and the pink finish line tape for the last rafter.I guess the saw mill area will be parking for a week? Jessi said in another video that he felt like he didn't know how the Shelter shop fit it all in their shop. The timber frame you all put up at class didn't look as large with as many pieces. Maybe that was it? Love the shelter shirt... "Satisfaction with every erection... it's a timber framing thing". Awesome.

[@dbjamaica4520]

Congratulations. That is quite an accomplishment. Alyssa you rock. Today would not have happened absent your untiring commitment and very hard work.

[@inthegardenwithdanica1924]

It’s almost done!!! I’m so happy for you. All this hard work will pay off!

[@dougmatthew9987]

Great Job you guys. What an accomplishment.

[@kat369-mine]

WOOP WOOP WOOP Loved the hero pose. Felt very emotional. Now on to the next chapter...

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

Some seriously silly stuff but it surely makes for the happiest video in some time. So happy for you guys to have achieved this far...looking forward to the workshop videos...keep 'em coming...Congratulations.

[@yusanyadesign9755]

Must be so satisfying having made all that beautiful timber for your future home :)

[@THEBASIL1946]

You both are Bless to have each other

[@russellfrancisjr.2407]

I've been watching for a while now and after all you've accomplished together and the strides on your new home, what I am most thrilled by and you guys should be too, is how awesome your families are (Doing everything and anything). I'm not religious much, but its awesome how you all came together(Family) to make this dream a reality. Good for you and good show for the world! There is STILL some good in this world.

[@11jdstein]

Congratulations on completing all of the milling work and everything else that had to be done for you to be ready for the workshop! LOVED the drone footage of the two of you on the final board; priceless! Can't wait to see the video of the frame being cut and put together over the next few days.

[@stevelewis3]

Good to see some spring back in your steps. Congratulations from Australia.

[@Azamyth]

yeah sawdust is such a great insulator it was used to keep blocks of ice frozen for months at a time before refrigeration was invented

[@01Questar]

Congratulations! Definitely one of my top 10 favorite videos to date! Everyone should sign that one!

[@VanisleNSX]

WOW, your parents are sure a great help!

[@NealNilsen]

Smile on my face I am so happy for you guys this is one heck of an adventure and you have all kinds of new friends congratulations

[@climbingnurse]

Not gonna lie. I cried a little bit. So proud of you guys!

[@tipoljmusic1978]

congratts looking good . Been watching your progress for almost a year now lol,

[@matthewostrenga9029]

Can't wait to see the frame start going up!!!!

[@geoff1740]

Levi! I love when more than one KZbin channel I follow collaborate together. He's fantastic!

[@Deerslyr81]

Good luck guys. Love you both from the beginning to now it’s been an amazing journey. Keep up the good work. I still want to come up and buy the rv when y’all are done with it.

[@Liz-lw6ht]

Thanks to you I have a perfect Christmas present for the Hubby. Thanks!! So happy for you both.

[@amarieshearer7613]

Had to watch again you got so much done! Can’t wait till the rest of crew comes.

[@sbbosch]

I laughed so hard when you guys did the superhero pose that I spilled my coffee all over myself. Epic moment, love the journey.

[@Grandpacarlreacts]

The long shots of the planing is kinda a ASMR trigger. Very relaxing and satisfying. Great job on the milling I look forward to the mill review now that the job is done.

[@modeverything9949]

Should have got the dewalt battery powered grease gun. It’s awesome. Btw moms doing great b-roll

[@goldenfarms2934]

Mr Crafty Trucker yes it is! 👍🇺🇸

[@MajidFouladpour]

Wow! What an inspirational video! Hard to believe for a non-procrastinator, but the 'achievement statue' pose and the general feel of "you'd feel good if you persist" helped me a lot. Because, on a logical level, everyone know that is a valid principle, but to *see* it helps the subconscious believe it and want to imitate the kind of persistence evident in your videos.

[@WhiteFox011]

You two never cease to amaze me, You are resilient and resourceful, but most of all you have a keen, (read somewhat warped) sense of humor. Thank you for the many laughs, and progress notes. And I know you, like anyone, have your down moments. It is all part of this journey we call life.

[@rico1319]

Sure enjoyed the music again and the filming is excellent. Stay calm and push towards your goal! Great job again you guys.

[@McAVITYourWay.]

You guys so deserve that pose! you are both superhero's!! I dont know who`s idea it was, but its brilliant :)

[@543bikepat]

Je vous suis depuis un bon bout de temps...vous êtes incroyable et quel attitude vous avez !! Je suis fière de vous, vous êtes un exemple pour tous. Continez de nous faire revez ||

[@thomaswaite2114]

So happy for you two hard working and focused people. Well done

[@bobg4840]

Love this channel and appreciate that you guys have been sharing your journey! It's fun watching things move along, keep up the great work!

[@markthompson4225]

They used to use sawdust to insulate the ice that was cut in the winter for ice boxes... The old style refrigerator... and the ice would last through the summer until the next winter

[@TomLongusa]

I've always been told you should do all the grease fittings every time you refuel, in normal conditions, and more often for sandy or in water usage. Bottom line, the more the merrier if you plan on keeping the machine and wish to keep repairs to a minimum.

[@TomLongusa]

Oh, that was just an aside or FYI and not a remonstration. I thoroughly enjoy watching your progress and look forward to future videos. Congrats on hitting this milestone!!!

[@jonnk.customsfabrication2194]

Grease the joints until you see the color of the new grease coming out of the joints. If not then your just moving the old grease around in the joint. You want to force the old grease out with the new grease. Your machine will take appx. 2-4 medium size tubes. And i have the best results with Lucas grease. Love the build. Looks beautiful.

[@chrisheckard3768]

Congrats Alyssa and Jesse!!! Can't wait to see the official start of building!!!

[@PeterPutz82]

It's just amazing to see people set a goal and work to the bone to achieve it. Well done!!!

[@rahdaswami2452]

For all you people that don't like Jessie's attention to detail, you've evidently forgot what it's like to be around someone who doesn't give you any info at all, and if you have to decide which one you'd rather have, you'll take Jessie's over indulgence to detail any day and it's really a blessing in disguise.

[@kurtarmbrust]

Been following the two of you since you moved onto your property. It's really exciting to see your house become a reality. I'm not going to cheat and check out the other social media. I will be looking forward to the next installment!

[@ericsteiner6316]

Loving all of the videos coming out so quickly. I️t almost feels like a binge!

[@rektalmort]

I really liked the ending of this vlog! Im impressed of the passion you guys havin. Cheers from Sweden

[@rockinrobnw]

perfect timing! I just finished the last video. stoked I don't have to wait until tomorrow.

[@jeffgannon1]

The views from your house alone will make all the hard work well worth it.

[@christinewinner6425]

You people have done an incredible job. Congratulations and may the next phase goes as smoothly as the one before. You will be so proud at the end.

[@billconnor8591]

ROCK ON!!!!!!! You guys are awesome! I bet you were glad for the extra hands at tail end of beam production. You're killing me with the suspense though. Almost makes me want to open a Facebook account to catch the real time stuff.

[@SeanLeonDrumz]

What a prodigious feat! Im happy for the short term success you guys have achieved. 55 logs very impressive.

[@homesteadwannabee4253]

I know it's silly, and you already have your frame up but.. I am so geeked all the timbers are done! I wanted to high five you guys when the pink tape snapped :) Blessings ~

[@edbenson98]

Jesse I know you're happy you don't have to mill another log and I'm happy I don't have to watch you do it!

[@oznog4791]

Im not the person who usually write comments, but i have to say i love this video. You made a perfect job, and i think it was a good decision to pause uploading new videos,,, Wish You all the best :)

[@markbeebe9499]

What beautiful lumber. Your house is going to look amazing. Keep up the great work.

[@dsdragoon]

Alyssa, thank you for the safer planning, and I bet you liked the power assist drive with the helper pulling the planner.
