Putting In Our Road and Stopping Trespassers From Using It

[@Bossladyone2]

What a beautiful, scenic, spacious place for kids to grow, learn and thrive. Idaho is the best move ever. A great place for family and critters.

[@danielmoore2362]

I'm 20+ years your senior and am doing roughly the same thing with my wife of 30 years, leaving the concrete jungle behind us. You are never too young or too old. Love watching you guys/gals do your thing! Keep it up. Look forward to seeing how it all turns out.

[@notatmyexpense9116]

Watching this in May of 2024 seeing what your family has done in four years it is amazing......

[@adamleach471]

I hope you discover how different rural living is. I grew up on a farm in Eastern Ontario Canada. I really encourage you both to enjoy the learning curve and to not be afraid of how messy it can be. Even more so off grid.

[@Jarrodjohn2007]

I never would've thought I would enjoy 10 minutes of watching someone put in a gate, but I did. Enjoy your vids. Great looking family there too. Kids look healthy and happy.

[@princeofzion]

You guys have one of the most beautiful pieces of property I’ve seen in a long time...congratulations, enjoy it.

[@wendenahammond4390]

I am a bit older than both of you two. I was actually raised by my Grandparents, who homestead back in the day. I love watching I miss fresh garden, trees, farming, all this stuff. I keep threatening to homestead, but getting too old to do by myself. Use to scare all the boys with my use of heavy tools, like the chainsaw and pick axe. Now I scare the old men with my power tools. You think men had never seen a woman use a ryobi power saw before. I built a deck for my travel trailer. I really miss the gardening.

[@pennykafai4645]

I always thought that where I dwell (UK Wales) was Gods country but now I think we run a very close second to that wonderful creation you call home. Take care and love each other ❤️

[@gingerreid8569]

Oh man...how gorgeous ....looks like heaven! So very happy for you guys! Years ago...I dated a guy that loved to go to Wyoming and Montana...each year, we made a two week trip...I fell in love with the Grand Tetons...Mountains are my spiritual place...but he wasn't the one...and I now love the right man in my life...but he has no desire to live in the cold...so I get to enjoy the mountain view and sigh...you guys are young and have such a beautiful family! Love following your journey!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much! The right one is better than any view

[@maggiesue4825]

Oh, my goodness! That VIEW!!

[@missibarrows]

Your place is absolutely gorgeous! I wish we could make a similar journey, but for now we’ll live vicariously through you guys.

[@vickyoakes4584]

I can't believe it took me this long to discover you "guys" (2 months now) I have been depriving myself of so much enjoyment! But I finally found you and that's what matters!🥰

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Welcome 💓

[@thinkingofothers353]

~~~ Thank you because you make my heart feel wonderful. .GOD'S JOY to your loved ones and homestead.

[@maryeliason1504]

Wow! The double 🌈 rainbow & that view of the mts. Paradise. Beautiful family.

[@smileystevens3060]

Yes the mountains there are so beautiful, every time I see them I just say to myself is how lucky you were to find such a great location to build your dream home....

[@pj-light-glass]

Totally amazing to look back 4 years ago! 😊

[@tnwhitley]

I love the view of the mountains as you come up your driveway. I can’t imagine ever tiring of the beautiful landscape you get to see daily.

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Alright! Now your talking. A first construction video on your new homestead. Like I said, this will get you viewers and subscribers who will eagerly await each episode to watch your progress...or even your lack of it. Construction is riveting to watch. Pun intended. LOL. Wow, did you make a fantastic property purchase or what?!!!! That is a stunning piece of real estate. And for a real estate broker of 42 years to say that, it means something! What a beautiful place. No doubt you and all your family are going to really enjoy living there. I've got a friend in Idaho whose channel I watch a lot. Now I can watch yours too and enjoy the beauty of that awesome country.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so very much, we can't wait to start getting this house up!!

[@9252LIFE]

That view is just breathtaking!! So I’m thinking you two should pick one of those peaks to climb and take a picture back at your property. That would be fun!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

For sure!

[@9252LIFE]

Good Simple Living it would make for a great video!

[@amateurauthor1402]

I have been watching you for a short time, and I like your site much better than the rest because at least you show you used help. The rest pretend that they did everything themselves. Yours is more believable. You have proven that you can make a change, a positive change if that is what you really want.

[@dianehall5345]

Beautiful 20 acre property. A gate is well worth the effort. Jim & I live off the road and into the woods, but the main farm is situated on a secondary highway. Our calving season has begun. So far two sets of twin Herefords and two single births. Our herd is breeding stock. We put the babies out this week and folks can stop by the roadside to view them. But there are some people who disregard that we are a private farm, not open to the public. In addition, we are sheltering in place and only have a few hay and wood customers. One woman drove right into the barn yard and tried to enter the dairy barn. So this week I ordered a sign made that says: PRIVATE FARM-CUSTOMERS ONLY- MASKS & GLOVES REQUIRED. I purchased extra masks and gloves for those customers who are forgetting. New Hampshire is doing well so far, but the tourist season has not begun in earnist. There will be many out of state folks who have summer camps. Some will want to buy firewood from us. None of us on our family farm are under 70.....so, like your gate, we have to set the rules.

[@maxman-357]

The best view ever!💕 I wish I could have seen them putting in that driveway.

[@khadijagwen]

When we were young, we did all that. We felt good, no aches or pains. We worked too hard, lifted too much. I broke my neck. Now I am 73 and pain is never far from me. Blessings to you.

[@GriffManTheMan]

CBD oil, flower, tincture and internal cleansing. Arise and Shine cleanse by Dr Anderson too.

[@jennifercullison]

Your view is breathe taking...you are blessed to have daily and with the seasons change it is more so...

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

It truly is!

[@fredl575]

Truly a blessing.

[@LadyJ5569]

This is the beginning, making the driveway and securing the access to your land. Such breathe taking views every day. I would be having lots of coffee with God. He is the one true artist. Congratulations on this new adventure in life. So glad to have found you as your journey began the day you hung up your uniform. 💙🙏🇺🇸🌹

[@chelemichele1524]

Such stunning views you will ne waking up to everyday... The excitement must be growing.. Have a good day ☃️☃️☃️

[@Francis-bm4mh]

Today I have watched ur 5th channel for the time first, love ur great unity of family urs and lucky u all got out in time while the virus makes world crazy and have been stuck not being able to survive without survival things like u have the freedom to walk anywhere u like, grow ur food and u have animals too, while others and myself too can't. U both husband and wife had a great match, nice to share ur skills together and by ur examples, u are doing every day, ur kids watch u every day too, will themselves grow in good discipline family life and love nature too? God bless u all and stay safe too in case.

[@kletusbobby7029]

Good work. Nice to see all the kids running around and helping you, it reminded me of when my wife and I started out. I would have put a bigger diameter and longer post, deeper in the ground on the hinge end of the gate. When it rains and the ground gets soaked you might find that the weight of the gate will pull the post over, if it does you will be forever adjusting the position of the catch on the other post. Also if anyone wants to get in, they can easily cut the wood post you used. May be strengthen what you have done by concreting re-bar and river stones around the wood posts.

[@SandraLThomas64]

Wow what a view! I bet you could sit and just watch the view change with the sun a gate is a good idea. Thanks for the update 😎

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you!

[@larrybuckner8619]

Those children are going to be so happy that they grew up in that place..... !!!

Everything is beautiful Congratulations

[@ChileExpatFamily]

Our property was clean with out any amenities, so we did all this here in Chile back in 2015-2016. Started from scratch. Are you all going to go with Solar or wind or hydro? Man that soil looks rocky!!! We decided to build / weld, our own gate and put it on rollers. Our 12 year old son welded the gate as a leaning project with a friend of ours who taught him the right way to weld. I think it is great that your sons are helping you and your wife! We have such soft rich black soil here that it would have taken a couple of yards of cement to keep the gate from leaning. Se we put a concrete foundation with steel and a plate to roll on so that anyone can open the gate with ease and it will not drag. Do you plan on putting in an automatic opener and alarm? I am interested in how much your well cost per a foot / or meter? We are paying $120/meter here. Love the views. I still think our views are nicer here in Chile. Hahahah. Plus we have no neighbors. Great video and thanks for the update and share. Jim in Chile.... also love the bunny videos.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Hi Jim, thank you! The soil here is all clay. We do plan to add a wheel and auto opener to the gate.

[@ChileExpatFamily]

@@GoodSimpleLiving Yep I remember that hard clay in South Carolina. It will be cool to see the opener. Jim

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you

[@americanbluejacket209]

Great job on the gate. Looks good.

[@misspimake]

Such a peaceful setting! This video gives us inspiration to keep our 2.5 acres in Yuma Arizona and plant orchard of dates or luffas etc. and plan on being snowbirds one day.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Sounds great!

[@TheJamaalsr]

To you and your family, enjoy the journey brother. From a retired Police Officer in New Jersey. I’ll be doing the same in June 2020.

[@lisas5624]

[@TheMomentEnds1]

was thinking as I was watching you swing that gate that tieing into the adjacent trees with a steel cable and turnbuckle would help greatly, 6:27 was very satisfying

[@evelynescalona6077]

I had to resubscribe . All is well. I love the old videos also. The view is wonderful

You guys did great on the gate! I would highly recommend a mighty mule gate opener!! It’s the best thing I’ve bought for the homestead so far! ;)

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you, We'll look that up!
