You guys should consider adding a material list to the description of builds like these for convenience.

[@msjoy2005]

I’d definitely like a cut list for this project, please

[@Unionmade6924]

Crazy I just built an exact replica of this for a king bed. Stained it ebony. Looks amazing.

[@jankees4037]

I ever also created the queen size bed myself. Still works well after 20+ years. Proper quality.

[@monstirz]

For pests and other insects plus excellent spider prevention I found that Cylence worked really well. It comes in a small cubed container for 20 or so. It makes 2 gallons in a sprayer. I have not been bit by spiders ever since. I hope this helps because it did for me.

[@parliamenthouseottawa]

EcoFlow DELTA Max Portable Power Station in Australia is AUD$5698.00 with extra battery. Big Difference to the USA where at the same time this package is USD1199.00 which is about AUD$1895.00. Good deal if in the USA.

[@DKHomestead]

We've had our sleep number beds for 10 years and really like the versatility and comfort level.

[@rawilson7768]

I love Tux’s expression when Jules turned on the sander, he was outta there!

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

That steam looks like the same stain I used on my old waterbed years ago turns out the pine to look like black walnut it's a nice color and the only thing I've ever used to stay in is a rag

[@tseabaugh8747]

Good job. I made something similar for daughter. try cutting some scrap carpet squares to put under post if on hard/vinyl floor. Also I used hidden bed rail hardware not pocket screws.

[@richardc3208]

I like the plain jane sleep number bed. Mainly because its adjustable and paid for. Good luck with your search

[@flboisseau]

My wife and I have had one for years and love it. Both for the adjustable firmness that you both an set to what works for you. But also because as parts of the mattress wear out you can replace it, without getting a whole new mattress.

[@tracygsmith9172]

Out here in the west coast California. They’re predicting a very heavy wet winter could be equivalent to 1997’s weather in the winter of 1996-97. And you’re in Idaho so you’re gonna get a good portion of it too😊

[@cmc7106]

It’s Monday and video time !!! You guys have safe and great week !!

[@rmortimore1320]

i live in TX when that winter hit. i now have a whole house back generator.. use last last weekend for the first time

[@adamflom4037]

I have a purple mattress and really like it.

[@MechsWorld]

Beginning was nice, the road trip, something was needed besides Home Depot when you are there would break up the home improvement dullness. Love the first fire and the bed frame build is very nice. Nice camera work with the truck loading and Tux on the cart.

[@PlumCrazy0]

Hi folks. My wife, Ellen and I met you at the Okie Homesteaders. We watch all the time on our television, unable to comment from that platform. We laughed when you said you wanted snow up to you porch roof. We know your smart, but we love snow, but only in small amounts, now we question your sanity.😅😂 Keep up the great work. We have met 45 to 50 creators from KZbin. By far you are our favorite. Love from Arkansas. ❤❤

[@mskippi]

I love the kreg pocket tool. We use it a lot

[@ZrubekFamily]

We have a Select Comfort, love it. We have a 3 Inch memory foam topper on it.

[@Pembroke.]

Nice job you guys. If you are looking you should try the Purple Mattress - outstanding

[@reneeupdike2220]

Purple is the best

[@tjcib]

I'm curious how the pocket hole connections have held up against... "bedroom activities". And we love our Purple Mattress.

[@justinkates8019]

This is what I am curious about. Any testimonies?

[@brendanaengenheister5351]

The spider is your friend they live on flies, When I lived in Africa in the 1950's our house was in the path of a colony of safari ants, now they can be as big two and a half inches long and they bite. The house being in the way was not a problem for them they just came in one side and went out the other and it would take days for the whole lot to come through. We had to put the bed legs in large containers like paint tins filled with kerosene and make sure the bed clothes stayed off the floor.

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

Martin talked about a desire for high snow levels. The Truckee / Soda Springs area of California gets some of the highest snow levels in the country. Last winter, the snow levels reached second floor windows. Imagine having to maintain passable driveways, streets and walkways through levels like that. Great job on the bed frame.

[@stuartrinker]

My sister in law lives in Truckee. We FaceTimed a couple times and it was insane the amount of snow. I traveled donner for probably close to 25 years on a regular basis and never saw it that bad. Unfortunately for us up here in north Idaho the predictions aren’t looking all that great for having 6’ on the ground, but we shall see. Always prepare for the worst.

[@livingproof911]

We have a dream cloud mattress and we love it.

[@martihetrick609]

You could build candle holders or drill holes to put branches in for windows decor

[@JayC-q5e]

Hi Family, Hey If y'all put some weatherstripping around all doors and windows and a screen door, It will keep the bugs and spiders out. They are coming Inside because It's getting colder outside. Put weather stripping under the doors. I love that house.

[@Matthew-bp9yd]

We have an Endy mattress and it's the best purchase we have made

[@DashPar]

“maybe his pain tolerance is just higher than mine” said the wife who gave birth to the children!! 😂😂❤️

[@JB-cs6pe]

Almost all women do it more than once, we get your point but it ain’t that bad

[@HarrisonKlinck4]

⁠@@JB-cs6peexactly and no one ever said if he was a women he couldn’t do it either

[@Just_Call_Me_Tim]

The pain tolerance thing is a bit whack. Men and women register pain differently. Most women who've passed kidney stones and given natural birth without pain meds would pick the natural birth. I know at least one guy who had recurring kidney stones for almost 5 years. Took them like a champ.

[@toddbrown4886]

Purple mattress is the best, I bought one and now I am hooked I will never buy anything else

[@karlfair]

I bet the spiders will look at the new bed frame and think "Wow, what a neat jungle gym!". Sleep tight;)

[@BenButler1]

I like my Casper mattress a lot

[@direwolf1077]

I love this DIY I'm only starting my journey on homesteading and DIY projects so I'm not super smart with it if it's not too much trouble would you all mind posting a material list and measurements

[@toc8470]

Need to buy a talalay latex mattress, best mattress ever

[@danieljay952]

Marty is awesome I find myself acting and doing things exactly like him

[@jamesbrown8718]

Berch living has mattresses that are all natural material and they are truly amazing. Allot of homesteaders are sponsored by them on their channels and maybe you all could get a free mattress from them. They do a 30 day trial if you don’t like it you can send it back to them no questions ask. It’s something to look in to.

[@stuartrinker]

6’ of snow on the ground would be awesome.

[@nikkispethman5043]

We have a sterns & foster mattress. We love our bed.

[@AlbertMcDonald-p2m]

I like my Casper Element! Like sleeping on a cloud!!!

[@DIYofffgridPeru]

Denver Mattress Company, the Vail...4" latex top...so comfortable, it's like sleeping on a cloud

[@bpfirehunt0192]

Purple mattress delivered to ur door. I've loved mine for last 3 years. Wife wasn't sold on it till the 1st night, now she wants them for the spare room and she's got her parents talked into 1.

[@abnerriverareyes1452]

Mattress Guild makes a springless bamboo mattress. Runs cooler for those hot summer nights.

[@missysmith4636]

You should try the Helix mattress

[@jerrybledsoe9293]

Great video guys. I’ll definitely be using this for when I make my own bed

[@lterno6621]

Hi all. Incredible progress to watch. Re gash... maybe Martin's hands are a bit tougher but what Julie needs to avoid is sliding the timber in her hands. Keep on smiling!

[@juliejohnson9531]

For sure!

[@JamesCouch777]

​@@juliejohnson9531keep those gloves handy 😉

[@tracygsmith9172]

I’d be considerably warmer off the floor too

[@sandiearmagost2914]

There was a show “ raising Hope”. One of the characters had a fear of spiders while she slept so she wore a hose over her face. After she told the rest of the family, it showed them all sleeping with pantyhose on their head. So funny. Maybe give it a try🤣😂🤣

[@juliejohnson9531]

😂

[@loucinci3922]

Nice be frame. Looks like it will do the job. Making any under bed storage drawers? Thanks for sharing

[@699hazard]

Some rain would be great right now, there's bush fires everywhere here in my state in Australia.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Oh bummer.

[@randypyatt5649]

Made in USA for sure awesome job.

[@timf6916]

WOW, YOU GUYS SLEPT ON A FULL sized mattress.

[@66bigbuds]

Get some hege apples from someone who has them growing. Take a few a poke a hole in them with a big nail and toss them in the crawl spaces, attics, stairwells, etc. Spiders are gone.

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

giant gourami fish can eat some type of plant leaf and insect. this fish can grow up to 33cm

[@tamistone7344]

Hi Martin and Jules! Bed frame turned out so nice! Great job! I recommend a Sleep Number mattress! They are the best for your body. I know alot of people like the foam beds, but they are not good for your body. They have chemicals in the foam! Sleep Numbers are adjustable for each side which is great! One might like a firmer mattress, while the other person might like a softer mattress, and you can adjust the mattress to your liking!😊

[@hanleycc]

Endy is the best mattress. We have 3 of them...

[@ThePyramidone]

Home Depot has a KZbin video on spider pest control that you might be interested in. You night consider storing gloves in the side pockets of your truck doors for fast access.

[@graitokumandangakassa9133]

Hello Pastor Martin Johnson and Ibu July, Do You still remember with me, I am Graito your student of English Bible study at House of Pak Landung and Ibu Sinar in Maguwo Harjo Sleman Yogyakarta Indonesia, Iam very happy knowing your situation in America in a good situation, May The Lord God Jesus Christ always use your family to share the loving of God, send regards to Your kids Sarah and Set, sorry Pastor Martin if my English is not good. Grace and Peace Graito ❤

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Love the bed frame it turned out perfect. God Bless

[@russellwatters5891]

Bed frame turned out Awesome!! I'd stick a Birch, or a Simmons on it, I've got both, two locations, both great! The other locations have cots, have you tried a cot yet...lol 😂😅 Love what ya'll are doing 😊

[@teddie_schaefer1963]

Texas and ice storms or hurricanes. We have 2 generators, solar bank and propane space heater. That's in Houston! Solar going on roof today. Doing my best to keep us safe warm or cool! My favorite mattress was a regular firm 10 inch memory foam. I just really dislike this hybrid I got.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Nice!

[@haleygraves8412]

Great job! What are the building plans for this project? Thanks!

[@wilwilliamson8831]

I think safetySally needs to talk to the kitties about power tool safety 😻

[@juliejohnson9531]

😂for sure!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Very nice bed frame!!!

[@WhiskeyDale]

PURPLE. I got a Purple queen size (original) mattress a while back , and I love it. I highly recommend and I will not buy anything other than Purple.

[@debrathomas3925]

I’ve been sleeping on Sleep number beds since 1996-never sleep as good when not at home on my bed

[@alex20lex]

Get yourself a Tempur-Pedic medium adapt you will never go back

[@phillipmarufu2453]

Hello from harare Zimbabwe martin & julie . I have been following you guys since covid time. You just inspire me. PHILLIP.

[@markholmes1346]

Great build guys! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@donaldpickering7139]

The purple mattress

[@debrezo58]

Beautiful bed frame! 👏💖👍

[@Juliegriffiths1]

Tempur pedic mattress. Best ever

[@TheMalbroughs]

Had a few mattresses over the years. The best is our current mattress, which is a firm spring mattress from Amazon, plus a 3 inch memory foam topper. The topper can be replaced every few years. Love it!

[@marcelbadoi83]

Ecoflow, I have a question related to Ecoflow if it is connected to the house can it cover the consumption of the whole house during the whole night or if you can tell me for how many hours it works when fully charged.

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Pretty cool, nice bedroom🎉

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

Try Birch mattresses.

[@CurtisWestsail]

I’ve sold mattresses for 20 years no warranty with out centre support.

[@debrezo58]

If you're worried about air flow you might want to use a whole sheet of plywood and just drill out small holes strategically placed and avoid possible mold.👍

[@markholmes1346]

There’s no warranty if you stain it either, by sweat or spill or anything, it’s always something with mattress companies!

[@fbfiveohv3]

Excellent vid! I’m gonna try this 🎉

[@henryhawk2695]

sandpoint furniture is the place to go!

[@waderue]

fact i seen a study where we can eat up to 5 spiders while we are sleeping and we don't know it , just food for thought lol

[@Outdoorswithmike]

The video is very helpful. Thank you for this and thank you for sharing.👋🏽👍🏽

[@marithaswanepoel5257]

Love your bed. ❤

[@michaelgoedeker9697]

Awesome video!! Thank you!

[@chattylemon101]

Since this video is older, assuming you two picked out a mattress, what mattress did you go with? Also your house is beautiful.

[@clarencewiles963]

More room and room to rotate 😊

[@jedibitch]

I love my Purple mattress. I have the original version and it has held up well. No pressure points issues and I'm a fairly large and muscular dude who tends to often flip to my side in the middle of the night (no waking up with a dead arm). :)

[@reneeupdike2220]

I love my Purple mattress also!

[@ariofsouthdakota]

Temperpedic is amazing

[@williamtoney-bb8tx]

Outstanding

[@donalddecker909]

Terrific

[@dougmacrae9535]

Yes,🤣🤣 but you will know that CREEEPPY spiders are under your bed.

[@Fulltimer]

Sleep Number is the only one to consider.

[@rayknightstep9083]

I highly recommend the Sleepnumber mattress. I’m a big guy and bought a new one a little over a year ago and sleep like a baby. They have several models, I got the 8. I would recommend the dual control and variable temp for the two of you. I’m also retired so I take my rest very seriously so you can trust me on this.🤣

[@theclearsounds3911]

I just want to say I agree with everything @rayknightstep9083 said. It's very pricey, though, even the bottom of the line one!

[@rayknightstep9083]

I'm not sure if they (Sleepnumber) are pricey or not. It was competitive to all the other mattresses I shopped. I received two years interest free terms, no money down and delivered in about a week. What is your comfort worth? Maybe you could even work a sponsorship out of them??

[@lizregan1949]

Hi ❤❤ Nice new bed. Worse would be if one crawled in your ear. My biggest fear.

[@shindees7676]

Martin - I hope I don't hit a nerve but have you ever considered changing the name of the channel? I presume when you started YT way back when it made sense.....but is that still the case? Saw Seth on another channel lately chopping wood..... it was cool to see him.

[@fernandovalencia6778]

Any chance yall could share a materials list I would like to make this for myself

[@dougyaroch3380]

Measurements on paper!!

[@paulawallace6688]

I have seen several homestead you tubers that are sponsored threw birch living. Maybe they would do that with you. Also i think they let anyone try for 100 days.

[@joanbarber5384]

Isn’t that saw dust going to clog those generators? Destroyed my dvd player years and years ago when I was remodeling.

[@joanbarber5384]

I would tape some cheese cloth on the intake fan. But that’s just me lol

[@ElJasperino]

Why do you put condensed milk on it @ 16:16? 😜

[@sylhunt8230]

i made a bedframe out of pine posts...tons of knots looked cool....and then pine beetles hatched i had to burn it

[@1MartinWaite]

There is only one mattress that I will buy it’s called ‘Tempur’ it’s the best mattress money can buy but they are expensive but you get a great 15 year warranty with it. They were designed for NASA to line the shuttle so that the astronauts would not be injured when they when into space we are now on our second mattress as I have chronic pains in my back constantly so we needed something that was comfortable and after trying loads of different types and manufacturers we finally found Tempur and it’s hands down the best mattress there is out there. They are a memory foam mattress which come it a 12 and a 14 inch deep mattress so depending upon what bed frame you have as to which you’d need we just buy the deeper mattress but a super king size mattress which is 6foot wide and 6foot 6 inches long and it’s brilliant. A lot of people will not pay the money for one but you spend roughly 33% of each day in the bed so when you work out the cost it came to 2p per night each for a quality nights sleep and more importantly I was able to reduce the amount of morphine which I was taking each day and that improved my lifestyle so the mattress is golden to me and the wife loves it.

[@miguelvillanueva4816]

So the weight is resting on pocket hole screws?

[@cheyenneshaw5193]

Planning on building my own queen size bed frame, but I know nothing. Can anyone tell me what sizes of wood for each peice I need and the best wood to use to last the longest
