Julie has the best personality.

[@8cylinderstolife737]

Julie is super awesome in your videos, obviously Marty you are a Beast… but Julie is just an incredible breath of fresh air in your videos. Absolutely killing it y’all. Love your family

[@scookie002]

I love how the kitty helps! 🤗

[@sandrarandazzo5172]

Just want to say, you make the best videos. Thank you. Your a joy to watch.

[@richardjones5255]

Considering the 'ideal conditions' for water skying rather than roof work, that went excellently. You must be pleased.

[@estellaknox9285]

good morning, everyone GOD bless you all.

[@GirlPilot7]

WOW!!! Im impressed! Julie I hand it too ya, Im 54 not sure I could do what you do. LOVE watching your channel! You both are an inspiration. Especially to others who were in full time ministry and didnt have a retirement plan. Love yall God-Speed

[@Flashmeb]

She is left handed......Prefect!.......lol....... Enjoying all this building stuff!

[@tracythorn2918]

I like that you include the mistakes in your videos because mistakes are part of doing it yourself, it's a learning process.

Nice job on the trusses guys... Looking real good....! Love how the cats and Tux are use to the construction and even play around in it i.e. the two cats playing between the ladder and the one tabby got paint on it's paw... I know those boots are probably real comfortable but don't ya think it's time to get some new boots Marty?? Get some like Jules... Her boots look sturdy, especially the toes... 👍👍

[@scottcompton9542]

[@douglaswinze699]

I love your Tux and kitties

[@erichoff7926]

I see you painted the boards after cutting. Bless you both! So many lazy workers don't do this key step!

[@fikilenako1805]

You guys are too cute. Sending all the love from South Africa.

[@CJ-tx8nu]

It's looking great. I'm so glad the trusses arrived. I was worried you might have a challenge getting everything dried in before the weather changes, especially with that open wall.

[@lizregan1949]

Better rain than snow.. Great Job.. Tux waiting for your t-shirt.

[@mrssmith7234]

Yay rain! Better than smoke and fires!

[@colinbarnes5850]

[@craftywoodworks551]

You guys are awesome and work well together, better than some professional carpenters

[@lloydwilliams8715]

I love that moment with the cat, getting the foot in the paint 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dianesnow9806]

That is one incredible job guys! Is it a family that “works” together stays together. Yes! 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

[@MarkSterrett]

I would recommend that you use locksmiths powdered graphite for your circular saw slide for lubricant and not oil because it gets gummy.

[@ourlostculture8513]

Julie you are the type of JOY that could happen to a man and that one that every man has and will always pray for,just to mention a few from an eye looking at you and your family from far,I see Marty living a long life because his heart is not skipping,running and or over speeding. I am learning from your life’s the more i watch your videos,Julie always put her KING always before herself by words physically and by actions May Heavenly Father continue to bless you for keeping your home together.

[@danielkrieg3227]

Looks amazing Guys Divide and conquer And You Did It Have A Blessed Week Much Love From Portland Indiana

[@douglasmorton6121]

Jules was in beast-mode climbing those trusses like a pro! I couldn’t get my wife on a ladder, let alone a roof. It looks great Folks!

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Julie for showing us how Marty & Son put on the Facia and Trusses. hard working group..

[@mikenuyen4441]

My cat likes to watch your cats.

[@suzeewills1249]

Great job. Plumb & Level. That was the name of my brother’s construction company. Plumb-Level.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Great tip on the number of nails required!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

But you don’t have use any if you don’t want to 🤣

[@robertglasemann5359]

You guys really work together great. Love watching you extend you home. Stay safe climbing around.

[@LaidBackLiving]

You guys are such an inspiration! We love your videos!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

When we having dinner again?

[@virgilbowman279]

What a relief to get the trusses! Getting it all dried in before the 6 feet of snow falls that someone keeps asking for is imperative!

[@Faruk651]

Looking good guys. Be safe up on the roof.

[@wiseguy3438]

Jules is a beast… in a good way!❤

[@mikesparks3398]

You guys are becoming pros in a few short year’s

[@billylowe1415]

Awesome Job you two. O can't leave out the muscle, you too Seth.😊

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

Lots of progress. You should definitely get this weather protected before the snow comes in. We're actually getting some early rain in northern California.

[@Hawksnest1976]

Great job guys I’m a retired union carpenter and everyone makes mistakes sometimes you have such a great attitude

[@satriorudi3742]

More space you expand your room Nice job

[@douglascampbell7006]

Love your videos. Mr. Johnson you're lucky to have such a great crew!

[@stakman78]

You happy people you,, love you guys,

[@loucinci3922]

Come on, man. Use the drone to fly a string thru the trusses so you can attach the long 2x4 and pull it thru. Out-side-da-box-man! Looks amazin. J & S are such a huge part of the build. Blessed family. Thanks for sharing

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

Awesome! You’ll be dried in very soon! And beetle free! Lol Julie…I’m impressed with you climbing up there. I would be so nervous. 😮

[@dorothyallen3614]

Love your videos and your personalities, y’all keep each other going! Looks great too! Onward to getting the new room dried in!

[@russellwatters5891]

Trying to schedule truss delivery and set around the weather is an impossibility..Glad ya'll got it done, and safely...lol Love what you're doing ❤️

[@auntiejen5376]

Impressive progress... You're doing such a great job! Keep smiling and God bless.

[@laruedouglas1064]

Getting there guys 👍.

[@mikec7572]

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 looking good people..keep it up love the video

[@suzannegerstner2841]

I really enjoyed watching you all work, scared your not wearing any safety straps at that height. Brave!

[@chipsekulich1603]

Great video guys. Thanks for sharing "The Adventure" with us!

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Looking better and better❤

[@suzeewills1249]

Thank you for sharing. God bless you

[@erichoff7926]

When cutting multiple pieces the same length use a stop versus measuring each one. It is faster and helps avoid errors. You guys really rock !

[@annamaybeekman5152]

IT LOOKS GREAT GUYS CONGRATS HOW EXCITING CONGRATS

[@gardeningfishingjimw9364]

The extension is going great guns!!

[@Nobinobli]

Nice family ❤

[@brendagervais5566]

Such an inspiration watching your accomplishments in getting those trusses up and the fascia. Thank you for a great share

[@randy2283]

As always great video good to see y'all again from Louisiana

[@logan979]

Milwaukee 7 1/4" Battery Miter Saw Jewel would love it I am sure. Also we always built our" Barge Rafter " on the ground much easier, hence the name. Measure twice cut once ! awesome job !

[@krekkrek01]

Great choice In boots. I've used several kinds and brands of boots over the years and Ariat makes the most comfortable and lasting boot on the market.

[@larrybell4599]

Great video. I especially like your explanation of the barge rafters.

[@mikebateman8021]

Good job Martin

[@dougdixon4587]

Saw your guys’ truck at N-40, glad I lurked and got your info! I live just N of you guys and really like your content and have plans for tiny homes/hip-camp cabins!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Not me. It’s a scammer.

[@harvmac69]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing your progress! I am learning a lot from watching your content! You guys are great!

[@markholmes1346]

Nice job guys, looks awesome! It won’t be long now and you’ll be dried in. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@dennislower4742]

I'm probably not as excited about the new build as you, but it's close 👌

[@donnavickery9623]

Looks great !!! Great job !!!

[@darkfactory8082]

Those rafters on the end "barge rafters" or something similar are called "lookouts". Those are way better to support the roof than the rake only style.. Keep on, you're doing a great job!😉

[@dking749]

Great video.Nice to see you working so well together.

[@bigwallyhdfb]

Place is looking awesome keep up the great work

[@northernliving2387]

Safety Sally seen a safety violation you weren't strapped in on the rafters... LOL

[@BethS55]

Looks Awesome!

[@ritafirestone761]

That looks so nice. Great job.

[@annettepilgrim9626]

NICE JOB GUYS. LOVE Y'ALL

[@debbyvancenbrock2100]

Hey Julie, when using aluminum it's best that you have gloves on as that aluminum penetrates into your system and that's last thing that you want is a heavy metal in your system. Love you guys you're the best

[@mosheish]

You are amazing,

[@Young937phoenix]

I bought that same saw from harbor freight because I seen u build a whole house with it but I have had to buy a digital angle finder to zero out the blade every so often u can get them on Amazon it is worth it. And when that slide raise is rough just take some 1000 or 1500 grit sand paper go over it real quick then put some grease on it. It will roll better than brand new.

[@ChasingFreedomHomestead]

Wow, it looks so great!

[@JamesCouch777]

Good job on the build 👍

[@velmad5dilbert344]

Good job guys.

[@adrianjuanwake6444]

Good luck pak....😊😊

[@northidahodreaming5657]

Congrats!

[@dennisscribner6377]

homes looking good.. beard up , snow will be here SOON....

[@ulfholt6434]

I observe that when you are cutting, you are cutting on the middle of the marking. Please remember that you then will get the length a bit shorter if you don’t take into account the dimension of the blade. The best is to cut exactly on the side of the marking, but please select the correct side.

[@northernliving2387]

Send your rain to my area.. We need it real badly.

[@sandrarandazzo5172]

Great job!
