Hi, I wanted to tell you that I admire what you are doing and how much of it you are doing yourself. It has to be so rewarding to accomplish all that you have. I am so glad I found your channel. I've gone back and watched them all. I wish there were more! Your voice is sooo soothing and your stories are great. Here in Colorado we have some Cowboy Poets. That's what your stories are like. Please keep them coming!

[@terijohnson3110]

That drywall lift is crazy! It's like having another person there but it doesn't tell obnoxious jokes or talk back! Moving right along👍

[@Chuffin_ell]

Wow, that wouldn’t be so funny if it weren’t true

[@ericklewis4294]

I've never seen a more hard working, result oriented person. You are an inspiration, sir. 👍

[@44ronie]

My kids are 32 & 35 still living at home and we would have it no other way. Until they're married it makes more sense for them to live at home and save their money. Its a home of respect, understanding and love. We've been married 40 years now.......Your children are bless to have you two as parents. Thanks for sharing

[@MrBuddha974]

I swear you have the best stories, thanks for sharing,

[@WildWonderfulOffGrid]

Seeing the drywall going up makes us so excited for you and your family....you're so close to moving in!

[@JohnDoe-np3zk]

No, they aren't. There's no cabinets, fixtures, lights, flooring, paint, baseboard, etc. etc. Plus, all that exterior drywall and insulation gets torn out anyway just wait.

[@WildWonderfulOffGrid]

@@JohnDoe-np3zk when you've started a home from the ground up by yourself and you get to the point of drywall...you really start to see the light at the end of the tunnel! In our experience anyway.

[@JohnDoe-np3zk]

@@WildWonderfulOffGrid no drywall was used in the making of my small house. Not a drywall fan, never will be.

[@bfe671]

You guys are almost neck and neck with RPR!! Keep going!!

[@ilovefood201]

I love your stories from your childhood and how realistic you are about what a family home is. I hope to be just as calm and understanding when I am a parent. Love watching your home take shape, and looking forward to continuing to watch you journey. love!!

[@michaelprosperity3420]

A drywall lift is money well spent and makes your job go that much faster. A roto zip is also a plus. Great job.

[@HiddenValleyHomestead]

Love the life story moments. Such Truth. Again tears have come to my eyes. Thank you for moving me. And all of us.

[@maggiesue4825]

Congratulations on achieving this hallmark in your journey!!

[@jcadult101]

Insulation around the bathrooms and walls between bedrooms, priceless.

[@philmorrison6898]

There’s nothing more enjoyable about putting your heart and soul into a place you can call home! Thank You for sharing!

[@landfillrat7286]

Comming along nicely thanks 4 bringing us along !!!!!

[@cynthiamullin661]

Love your outlook about kids & loving memories. We are raising grandkids now & cherish EVERY memory being made here! They grow food in the garden, bake/cook in the kitchen & create. :)

[@desertdanblacksmith1394]

When the drywall goes up.....the shell of the house becomes the rooms and gives a lot of satisfaction in accomplishment! The kids and Cedar will be excited to see! Good Job! God Bless!

[@kevinnobody3052]

Nice video man. Appreciate the personal insight also. Nice to see a regular guy just doing things for his family.

[@skippringle9803]

The stories of you and your brother bring back memories. I'm the oldest of four boys. Some how we all survived.

[@waynecompton7612]

Good morning Heath, thank you for the video. The use of your board lifter helps you out a lot , you're getting closer to the finish line!!!!. Take care and catch you next time 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@SAlvitre29]

Yay for the dry wall lift! Cool tool...

[@steenfraosterbro3268]

In my neck of the woods we always insulate the walls (sound) and double the sheets on all walls. These walls are going to be like drums.

[@glenokla4079]

Great job Heath! Your house is quickly becoming a home. Keep up the great work!

[@lesleyharris3198]

Seeing the rooms appear as the drywall is installed makes such a difference to the spaces, it's turning into a home in front of us, thank-you for sharing your dreams with us, love the stories you tell us as you work, my brother did something similar, he was dropping spread eagle onto my bed and put it through the ceiling.

[@kpdvw]

Great job and your best helper is no doubt the dry wall lift!

[@ackack612]

Excellent music choices, particularly the beginning. The easy pace of the music juxtaposed to the frenetic speed of the sheetrock hanging just worked very well. And, I'm confident you'll never raise a fist to any of your kids, no matter the infraction.

[@RevDeaconMichael]

Look at you! I see a professional drywaller in the making! :) Looking great Heath and I know (from experience) that this starts to pull everything together. Doing great good sir!

[@tbirdracefan]

A lot of hard work there.

[@elishevaquick6650]

Wow, I admire the way you just GO for it till it is done. Blessings to you and your Family xxx Aunt Eli

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

Beautifully done it's becoming a home. Blessings to you and your loved ones.

[@chrisrea7347]

First time I have seen a drywall lift - amazing tool!!

[@cowboytroy72]

Awesome job Heath, you and your family will fill that home with love and memories

[@maggiemagennis3507]

Your voice is easy to listen to and your personal stories very interesting. Thank you for letting us follow your adventure in building your house. It will be an awesome home❤️

[@Tater79bj]

For some reason, this one compelled me to get up and go give my wife and daughter a hug. Sometimes, we need to be reminded of what's really important in this world. God bless from a fellow Idahoan.

[@hsneed4224]

Love the music.....Look forward to each video...Always add you guys to our prayers. Keep up the good work/

[@chrismontgomery1521]

That’s a very good helper, wish i had it in my day

[@Downeastwaves]

Thanks for the stories. The drywall hanger machine works great. Wow it sure makes a difference having the drywall up.

[@glenngoodale1709]

Love the opening ...

[@grandmasfavorites]

I think you are doing a wonderful job.

[@jasonmong2428]

Your stories are always great house is progressing very well. I wish when my father was in business we had a drywall lift hanging 12 foot sheets with jacks sucked. Keep up the great work.

[@canvids1]

I know this is speeded up but I have never seen a man put up drywall so great. as a matter of fact I have not seen anyone put up drywall. You sir are a very smart man and a hard working man even if it is for you wife and family. I sure hope your dreams come true.

[@soonerfan745]

Great job! You have been putting your heart and soul and a little bit of blood into this home. If I’m able to get to the point where you are at, I would insulate the interior walls for no other reason than sound deadening.

[@danielbthornton]

nice to be reminded that a house is not a showplace but a safeplace for our child... thanks for that :)

[@chrissusong3103]

Got my hat and I love it! Red Poppy Ranch is represented in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee! Thanks a bunch!

[@justmae7981]

Your stories are always great but this one especially so. Reminds me of growing up with brothers sisters and a cousin in a three bedroom home. Better still it makes me smile as I remember these kinds of memories was the reason my spouse and I decided to have as many children as we have. We currently have a window to fix❤️.

[@TheGreesmunke]

Looking great!!! I saw other people post it, I too would insulate between inside bedroom walls so you can't hear so much through them. Especially the master bedroom! You do not need the children hearing you move furniture in the middle of the night! God bless!!!

[@FreeSpeechZoneUSA]

You make the best videos! I learn so much ,you have given me the knowledge and confidence to do some projects by myself. I live on a very remote place by myself, am 32miles from nearest town, with 4miles of country road that is as bad or worse than yours, 😁🤣 not easy to get help as they are mortified by my roads! So Thank you sincerely! I dearly love the music and the stories, thoughts, everything about them is perfect!

[@bxb590]

I'll bet you have noticed that as the dry wall goes up, all of the living space just got smaller. I really enjoy your videos. keep up the good work.

[@DizzyDave26]

Thank you for sharing the story of your daughter throwing the shoes. I am not a father, but I am an uncle and I enjoy my time with my nephew. He reminds me of me as a child. I often find myself telling him to bot do this or that while we are out fishing or what not. This video was humbling and made me realize I did all that as a kid and its that time in life i miss the most.

[@williamkirkland265]

The drywall lift is certainly a great labour saving device

[@pthover]

I really love watching your videos! Your journey and work ethic is quite inspiring. Your narration of the videos really appeals to me especially when you relate some story from your past like you did today. Best of luck!

[@petemoore5444]

It's really starting to take shape now......looking great.......I love to hear your life stories......it reminds me of many a time when I was growing up......I had many a time when my Dad would take his belt off to me because of what I had done.....but looking back now I don't regret a single time he chastised me....it was totally justified and it made me respect him all the more and hopefully made me grow up into a better person.....I wish he was here now to chastise me.

[@mikefedele4521]

It looks really good. I think your doing a fine job. It brings back memories of when my parents built our place in the 80's. Your inpetfections will make it home... That's how it is. I think your definitely on the rite track your vision is picking up speed for sure. Great video.

[@niceguy2171]

It's true, that drywall lift is a GODsend! Must admit I did 1 level of my one house without it, and I still suffer from it now I'm older. But that drywall hanging is moving right along for you, and while it doesn't need to be perfect, careful fitting now makes for easier taping later ;)

[@chroniclesofsage333]

You have a beautiful spirit, sir. Such a wonderful soul. May TMH continue to bless you and your family. May the blessings of the Lord pursue and overtake you. Namaste

[@peggyannparkes1863]

The first time I did drywall, I had to cut it into 4x4 pieces because I couldn't lift the 4x8 sheets by myself. I stood in the high chair because I didn't own a ladder and my 3 yr old daughter handed up the drywall nails to me. Thank goodness for the advances I've made and the wonderful tools I've been able to buy since then. Now, drywall is a piece of cake.

[@nateparker5391]

Great job. Love that your doing drywall on your own. So hard to push through it but pays off at the end.

[@MrXcc4u]

i am always amazed at just how much work you get done in less than 14 minutes. awesome job.

[@Beecozz7]

You make lovely videos, the story telling with the music, very nice. Side note: I think you should consider putting in a transom window in the wall by the stairs in that one room, it would let in light from that side of the house since you will be on solar. My 2 cents ;-) Well done!!!

[@tonysargent1699]

This is gonna be one of those videos I'll keep going back to! Thanks for sharing.

[@stephenmcnulty7096]

Looking good!

[@suchoi61]

Super Dad ,wish you the best ! Gruss Daniel from Switzerland

[@joeyscott5720]

Also , I’ve found it easier when doing bedrooms with closets, doing the closets first makes it much much easier, allowing you to maneuver your sheets through the open studs with the larger pieces as well as not needing a light to do the closet after. Good luck and Gods speed! Bless you and yours!

[@joeyscott5720]

Instead of having to fit the pieces through the doorway

[@joeyscott5720]

Lastly lol Heath please don’t interpret my words as criticism, I only hope and pray for the best for you, Cedar, the kids, and Ruger. I am only offering hopefully helpful advice, I’m no master carpenter nor a drywall and mud expert, lol I grew up in a close knit semi-large family of every different but relative trades. Carpenters, electricians, masons, mechanics, heat and A/c, and of course two of greatest plumbers in the area. I’ve work alongside them all and learned an unfathomable amount of knowledge from them, I, whenever possible, love being able to pass on tips and tricks I’ve learned from my family. I however chose to blaze my own path and served our country in the Army. That chapter is closed but hasn’t finished, if that makes sense? As I’ve expressed before, I’m opening a new chapter in my life, we are preparing to shift to more property and more self sustaining lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your story and it’s progress with us. Realize it or not, you’re inspiring! Keep up the great work! V/r Joe

[@mandbhomestead]

You are flying through the drywall. You are very close to living there full time, congrats! That drywall is looking great. Thanks for sharing

[@MustangSally7259]

Love watching your building journey.

[@markmortensen4341]

Those roto-zips are an awesome trip especially with drywall. That lift is another must haves for sure. You did a lot of hanging in that video and made it look easy! Thanks as always for sharing.

[@MrJamesPottorff]

I love the way you show the sped up video with the voice over track, you make it look so easy (and I know it is not). I have been watching this entire build and LOVE the videos, Thank You for bringing us along thru the process

[@glenngoodale1709]

👍 "Another great video. I wish more of the others who make these style videos had your gift of video production and narrative skill."

[@chrischristenson4547]

Great music to fit this story The definition of the dream home Is inspired May your dream be true

[@stotas2]

Great intro 👍

[@DIYMechanic1]

Looking good, brother. Keep up the good work! In our old farmhouse, I used 12' sheets of 5/8 drywall (due to stud spacing) for the walls and ceilings as it allowed me to avoid all but a couple butt joints. Talk about a lift being a must! Those things were a hand full even with the lift!

[@williamwalter8554]

Hi Heath, I hope your getting out walking around the property and just observing. Watching how the snow melts and the water flows. How can you slow the water, spread the water, and sink the water into the earth. How can you use swales to fill ponds. How can you manage the water to keep the orchard watered all summer. Looking forward to see these developments this summer. Cheers, Bill

[@MrEhole]

Nice job sir!

[@bevlove]

You’re moving along swiftly! 💙 It’s looking good! ❤️

[@mountainman7997]

Looking good. Excellent job over the doors. 👍

[@toddfriley9373]

Great job!! Please don’t forget to stagger your drywall joints.....helps tons with cracks not showing later. 😀

[@brainclerk4431]

Speaking from experience you will regret not insulting the kids bedrooms when the music comes on lol. The place is looking awesome ! There really is light at the end of the tunnel and your steaming towards it. I cant wait to see the kids painting their space! they will respect their bedrooms a whole lot more having put all that time and effort in, And appreciate just how hard you have to work to achieve your dreams .

[@paulshockey3241]

Just A tip I got from my friend when doing drywall, never put small pieces on the floor, full sheet up and full sheet on the floor and small in the center save your back when mudding and you could risk cracking a joint when installing baseboard molding. But Good Job I love watching your videos.

[@markbennett9381]

Looking good Chief! It always "feel" different once you get the drywall up!

[@jkhenderson1]

I'm sure it's a great feeling to get this done! I remember us going down our stairs on pillows and inevitably going through the wall! I can't tell you how many times my Dad fixed that wall! Lol!

[@Gwlyddyn]

I know you're done with the drywall now but one of those collated drywall guns help something immensely. Way quicker and every screw to the perfect depth. Awesome job!

[@brentderksen]

Funny store about your brother's shoulder going into the wall, my brother did the same to me too.

[@bobstienke178]

Damn son! Doing a great job!

[@soulkiller22]

I have not watched your videos in a long time good job

[@kochrd9037]

good to see the dry wall go up. My old house has ceilings similar to yours - greater than 8 feet high. The drywall contractor saw that I had hung the board leaving a small narrow strip at the bottom. He said he'd prefer to have the narrow strip at mid-wall height so he could tape and mud both edges of the strip at the same time. It might be more difficult to hide the strip at that height due to the lack of taper on one edge of the strip. Where I had it located, it didn't matter because the base board is 8 inches high.

[@margaretlarriva4573]

God bless you for all your work and effort! And for wanting a safe haven for your family! May God place His peace and love there! May the Lord always be with you both you are real fighters!

[@babs2522]

You are doing a fantastic job on the house and it is all coming together, love and blessing to you all from Scotland :) :)

[@deanbarr5740]

Looking good RedPoppy. Enjoyed your reminiscing. 👍👍👍

[@monicapttrsn]

I'm no pro at drywalling, but I learned one key to mud and tape is: mud (joint compound) and tape, dry and sand; mud again with a wider knife, dry and sand; mud again with a wider knife (12") and sand. By that time the large knife get's used, you are blending in the joints with the smooth drywall so everything looks like a flat wall. I suppose one could get away with two of the three processes. I watched houseimprovements youtube channel do it, and I liked his approach.

[@HewettHomestead]

Looking good Brother.. hope yall get done with that snow soon!

[@gabrielresendes8277]

Standards down south looks different. In Canada we always use a vapour barrier before installing the drywall otherwise moister may build up in the insulation, but its cold up here ;) . Nice job and great videos . Thanks

[@annamaybeekman5152]

It looks so very beautiful

[@altoncheatham7383]

Looking good. Agree with others about the beginning of vlog. Lots of taping and muddling.

[@gordb4343]

I Canada we have 54 inch wide drywall for 9 ft ceilings so you don't have another joint near the floor
