Excited to see you drinking MUD/WTR! I've been drinking this delicious & nutritious drink for three years. It's been a major game changer for my health & wellness. Enjoy!

My mom and dad built their house in 1977, by themselves with hammer, nails and 1 circular saw. Hard work.

[@susanstokesbrungard291]

Hello! Your property is coming together beautifully. In 1989, we built our 28 x 50 3 story log cabin. We un derstand what you all are going through. Have a great day. Lv and Prayers to all. GREAT JOB KIDS.

[@stanrobertson]

My dad (with a little help from me and my brothers) built a house in 1975 - he cut the framing with his chainsaw, because power wasn't yet on our road.

[@Stephanie-kt9vh]

How incredibly rewarding though. I admire them so much for that.

[@Stephanie-kt9vh]

​@@susanstokesbrungard291that sounds so incredibly beautiful. Log cabins are my favorite style of home, I'm sure it is beautiful

Melissa, this was such a wonderful, beautiful video. There was so much in it. Concrete, walls, Benji, cat ( name?), the horses, our builder Jeremy and the children. You are a pro at this video-making. You give us scenery, beautiful sunsets, evening outdoor fire, love, end monologue .... ❤❤❤

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Awww thank you 😊 🙏 💓

[@kenc1800]

Do not forget adult humor! I too enjoy watching your children play, hugging and enjoying their mountain environment!

[@kimberlyschiele1117]

I love seeing your kitty loving on kenji... Such a sweet sight!❤️💞😍🥰

[@debyarger3084]

As a very little girl I watched my dad and brothers build on a bedroom to our home,and then in my teens I got to help with a familyroom addition that was finished just a few days before my high school graduation. Many years later my hubby and I had 18x20 room added on to our house. The rough work was done and we did all the inside stuff. We learned so much. Your right no reason to fear,make mistakes and learn from them. The lessons are priceless!

[@omas1637]

My Mom and Dad started building our home in 1946. Because it was right after the war there wasn’t any lumber or windows for many years. We moved in in 1952. My Dad also owned his own business and ran that full time. I remember many aspects of the build. We had four kids in our family when we started and by the time we moved n we had 5 kids. Two years later my baby sister was born. It was always exciting. We had a big garden too!!!!

[@julielowe5951]

This is going up so fast it’s going to be so cozy! Yes Melissa you were so right to reverse the plan! What a wonderful view!

[@petergplant5026]

Hi There, I have to say here in the UK the cost of buying land is hard due to the lack of availability etc. I'm 61 years old now and have had and lost my dream home! It is such a pleasure to see how hard you have both worked in the beginning. And now it's all paying off for you both and your family. I don't have much to look forwards to nowadays since we live in rented accommodation! But watching your dreams come alive makes me very happy and for the time I watch you all wether it's on my mobile or my laptop I'm there with you just living the American dream!! Thank You so much for sharing what you and your family are building together. ❤😂🇬🇧🌼🌹

[@rocco63--01]

Love the scenes of Kenji and the cat! So glad for you that the garage floor is poured and second floor trusses are installed!! 🍀💚

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thanks so much!

[@victoiredeleusomme4257]

love the way your husband looks at you with so much love. The conversations seem to be very real. Do not think you guys could fake the love that flow in all directions in your family. Think that is why I love watching you two. So glade you two are proof marriage can work and this is how it should look. Yes i know it took work, but you two are proof that it is worth the effort. I hope all your children are blessed with finding the right person to share their lives with. You certainly have given them the examples they need to grow in emotional strength. Bless your family.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much 💓

[@teresaspringer4129]

Now that’s a beautiful view. Glad you turned the apartment around

[@JudgeGilbert]

Hello how are you doing today

[@kingsdaughter9659]

Jeremy and Melissa, do you awake Every day of your life amazed at your blessing to be living out your dream with your beautiful family (natural and furry) on this amazing piece of heaven on earth there in Idaho nestled in those beautiful valleys and mountains? I know I sure would and praise God every day for His goodness, which I’m sure you all do. I’m So immensely happy for you all to have what you’ve got. I know you worked very hard for it years before finding it and since you’ve moved there as well. You must know you are living out the dream of so many of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your life with us all and making us part of your beautiful family and letting us share a part of a dream many of us will never see here on this earth. Much ❤ and many many Blessings to you and your awesome children. You all are very much loved by our Heavenly Father And your YT family 🥰 Again, thank you all. You’re both Great Parents with four Amazing children. 🙏God continues to keep watch over you all and keep you safe. May His Love 💞 surround you always. From a Canadian 🇨🇦Gramma 🥰. P.S. Always ❤️your closing bits of wisdom.

[@edgasaway2207]

Looks like everything is working out great and the Supervisor is on the job. I love that mountain behind your home.

[@Ibh111142]

Yeah I reckon that without that dog’s supervision there wouldn’t have been half the progress and the quality would’ve suffered

[@katrinajoyce6658]

I can just see you and your mini me on your matching horses, Jeremy will think he has double vision, it’s great seeing the bond between Keira & little Debbie and it’s only going to get stronger, truly heartwarming ❤️🫶🏻👏🏼👍🏼XxxxxX

[@nancyfryhover]

How can you be so wise Melissa? The words of wisdom you utter have to be from someone who has lived a thousand lives. I just love to watch your families videos, and thank you so much for sharing. I am 73 and currently remodelling a bathroom for my husband who has mobility issues. Yes, we have to put our fears aside, and just do it!

[@JudgeGilbert]

Hello how are you doing today

[@bradpogue3448]

When I was in high school I had the opportunity to take a class called building trades. Took the class 2 years in a row. I use that everyday, rather I’m at home or work. Best class ever.

[@janineguerrero3881]

You made my day when you said you’re going to put huge windows all the way across in the living room. I always look forward to watching you guys. You have such a beautiful family and such a beautiful place and you’ve worked so hard.

[@Scot_WestTexas]

That kiss on the ladder with the leg kick was the cutest thing ever 🥰

[@deniseclose566]

You are going very quickly on the GABY build. It will be done in no time at all. Keria has really bonded with Dolly. It is so sweet to watch her take care of her and spend time with time her.

[@marytucker9404]

Love seeing the big sister walking the little sister on the horse. Forney, TX

[@jackrolfson312]

That went by so fast, Always love your content. It's always nice to see all the wood that you use to make your Structure safe and Durable. It's always nice to hear your message at the end always something to think about. Enjoy your summer, Make memories until next time, Be safe.

[@wallykramer7566]

Melissa, the message is wonderful! And the cement (not concrete) pour went very smoothly. Kudos for attempting to minimize the coffee. As a never partaken person I applaud that greatly!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

It's actually concrete

[@deborahmitchem2300]

You are now seasoned builders! Isn’t it amazing to be in the midst of where and what you prayed for? Congratulations on the next step. So happy to see Kenji living his best life❤

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Yes! Thank you!

[@portia2934]

I wait e ery Saturday morning to see what you ha e done this week. I wish you could put two a week. It is so awesome what the two of you have done. Most couples couldn't do it. Your home is so beautiful, and you are such good parents. May God bless all of you.😊

[@RltnspdEMA]

You guys are doing a great job! After having helped my dad build several homes and work on other large building projects churches ect. I've learned what hard work was. You guys are doing such wonderful work. And looks like your kids are having fun too and you're also teaching your son of valuable trade! Keep having nose family bonfires and riding your horses and enjoying your life while you're working hard. Until next week be safe much love!

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

It's all looking good. A luxurious 1000 sqft with beautiful forest views. Very clever to have laundry next to the entryway. It all flows together.

[@lorinawhiting9755]

What a job you all conquered- love working with lumber - the smell is so energizing and seeing your vision become reality- love seeing Kenji with the cat - Kenji is so chilled - my new cat and 9 year old Shitzu are not friends yet - have a great week - love ya all more !!

[@ppuck6427]

It's obvious how much you guys have learned from all the previous hard work. It looks amazing!

[@anissagilmore]

I love watching your projects being completed. My husband built our 900 square feet lake house cabin. It’s so satisfying knowing you did it all yourself. He and I now are in the process of building a 650 square ft she shed/craft room/ storage shed. We are doing it all by ourselves. I can’t wait until it’s completed. I don’t ever want to do it again! Lol.

How fast you are advancing with the garage and apartment. Thank you Melissa for explaining to us how the distribution of the rooms will be, obviously changing the orientation has been an excellent decision and I'm sure Jeremy listens to you, when you're right, you're right, right?😂 I congratulate you Souza family 😂and thank you, as always, for sharing your progress with us... now you can dedicate yourself to building houses for third parties hahahaha😂 till next Saturday 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

The patio looks so pretty! So much happening at your homestead! Lol, Jeremy, Melissa was so right about the better view out of those windows!

[@michaelwilliams7481]

I love how it is taking shape, the wall framing looks so strong, and the measurements for the window frame are so perfect you have to hammer them in place. Next, the roof trusses. Love and best wishes from Mike. ❤

Great way to have them close yet transition into adulthood while learning. It's so great to see your kids learning life skills and not only sitting around but active and doing things with helping while they learn.
