[@karenredding9439]

I could have used a Coolify today when watering my gardens. My husband is 72 and had knee surgery, so he can't help me water. I passed out and then woke up, I couldn't stand up, my legs wouldn't work. I crawled to a shade tree and ran water on my head. And then I drank water from the water hose. When my legs started to work, I made it back into the house with a massive headache. My husband doesn't know this happened to me. When I cooled down, I took a cool shower. I feel okay now. Tomorrow, when I go outside to water my gardens, I will make sure I'm hydrated. When you are 70, it doesn't take much to take you down. You guys are doing a great job, so don't worry about any negative words you get. You have a beautiful and moral family. My God, keep on blessing you and keeping you safe and healthy. 🙏🏽 ❤❤

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

@@karenredding9439 That is SO SCARY!!!!! PLEASE Take care of yourself and take many breaks! This heat is NO JOKE!

[@waderue]

no for all people that are talking out there butt , I am carpenter and Mel and Gray want to use screw and they should so stop giving them a bad time about nail or screws Trust me I have built many home and most of what we used was screws not because they are cheaper , they are better and for those who are not a trained carpenter shut up because Mel and Gary know a few carpenters as well as me and if they had question they would ask lol sorry Mel and Gray to blow up but I hate want to be people who think they know something

[@CC-Rider4564]

I don't believe you've built many home as you say and who's this Gray person you're talking about? 😂 I know Gary on here but don't know who GRAY is. I am an experienced trained carpenter who's built many Homes not Home at one time so why do I or other experienced carpenters need to shut up ?

[@CC-Rider4564]

Besides the one granny lady talking about being safe I don't see who you're barking at in the comments !??

[@kwbyrd9528]

Mel deserves The Rosie The Riveter Award for doing things you have never done before, stepping up to face and conquer your fears! Girl, my one and only fear is heights! Well done!

[@jafleetwood9714]

I had do conquer 2 stories when no money to hire contractors and sometimes it was easy and sometimes not. I also spent two summers climbing up & down a two story ladder to paint my 4200 squat foot home all by myself and got-er-done. And have you, I did this in my 40's & 50's. I applaud you Mel for conquerig your fears and even more for knowing your limits, I know what is like.

[@BeautybyButterfly]

As a creator and video editor myself, Mel, I can always see your visions. I love your soundtracks and inside jokes and add-ins. I love it😊 I'm always learning something new from y'all, and you're always making me smile 🫶🏽

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

I appreciate that! That is so nice of you to say!

[@Hillbilly_Hippies]

Gary builds to protect his family, so I would trust him to build anything for me. Great guy, gotta love him and Mel❤

[@Judy-Flashphotography]

You did excellent today....................team effort............I agree screws to nails.........It is YOUR house not anyone elses. I trust Gary on his decisions on what nails and screws to use..........He is a perfectionist.......he measures and does numbers like there is no tomorrow. I must throw out a few shouts to his partner, Mel who made this project a success as well.

[@sandratweedale2579]

Poor Gary, your wife is hanging right on the edge and Gary walks away in relief for just getting it up there. Hang on Mel I’ll be right there….! 🤣😂. Boy girl you’ve come so far in handling your fear of heights. Can’t wait to see you enjoying a cold beverage out there with your feet up. What a team!, 🥰🇨🇦👋👋👵

[@jeffmcdonald9295]

That fart was so loud and funny as F that made my day love you're videos

[@GabrielMullett7532]

You done an excellent job on that commercial that sounded like a professional

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Thank you so much Gabriel 😊

[@nancyritchotte1298]

I love your video’s! Don’t let those disrespectful people bring you down. It’s a shame how they feel they need to throw terrible comments out there. Mel you are a joy to watch your smile and being such a positive person. You have a wonderful family. I love Gary’s laugh. Also, I love how you work so well together.

[@diyfferent]

One step closer to that Zip Board 👍

[@JohnOxford-zc8jm]

You guys have built this so strong that when end times are threatened I’m going to give you a visit. I always over built. Folks used to tell if a tornado threatened they were coming to our house. Can’t wait to see the finished project. Please be safe. You all are using the step ladder backwards sometimes.

[@loycemarch8409]

I used to tell my hubby that if he built the ark, it would have sunk. He would laugh. He was self trained and I am the daughter of a carpenter who knew how to to build anything. Now my 5 kids do the same. I am now 81 and can still hold a hammer.

[@joanlenhard82]

Our family always uses screws for any building project my hubby has done and thats over 50 years. He taught me that on our first project when we did not have an electric screw driver. I was always so proud of him and he always said 'it just makes sense to screw wood projects makes them stronger. Great Job Gary you are Superman

[@leeslone3640]

You two could build anything you want just keep up the good work it will work out for you❤❤

[@robertrector588]

Just want you to let you know that not all people are negative I'm behind you 100% you guys are doing a great job and I'm so proud of what you've accomplished and I know there's more to come

[@pamlucas1326]

Of course you can. Don’t be frustrated. You two are unbelievable together. Take a left turn, have a rest. Then go back with a fresh mind.

[@user-km5yt9tl3r]

You guys are great! Now I can take a deep breath now that you are both on solid flooring.❤

[@jamiebroadstock4142]

Good for you Mel! Facing and conquering your fear. Well done guys. !!!

[@montebuchholtz]

At the rate you're going, you're never gonna finish that roof. Come on, kick it up a notch 😂😂

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Sorry we're not "good enough" or "fast enough" for YOU. We're doing the best we can, and WERE happy with our speed and quality. Opinions that differ are irrelevant ✌🏼

[@Lis.E.H]

Your home is going to be amasing and safe. Its your home and you are amasing making it.

[@tonyaott8797]

Hi Mel,I’ve not commented on your channel before but my husband and I watch you all.Don’t let the haters push you down.We love you all and people like us love you too.Stand strong.When sht hits the fan YOU will be ready

[@pattifoote1714]

I love the way you both look out for each other! I don’t know how you Mel and Roxanne wear those jeans in that heat! I myself cannot wear them in this East Tennessee heat, it’s capris or dresses for me. Stay safe and keep up the great work! ❤

[@robynfrench9323]

Hi Mel and Gary and your lovely kiddos. You are both such good, positive people, it is a real pleasure to follow your journey. Please don’t take notice of those people who are negative Nellie’s and picky patties. I take my hat off to you both for all that you are doing and have so far accomplished. Keep up the good work. Robyn from Sydney, Australia.

[@MrDilley777]

Wow Gary and Melanie you guys have a GREAT MARRIGE AND FAMILY!!! The way you work together and the cooperation and concern and consideration you have for each other is inspirational. May I point out something in particular about Melanie's great attitude in helping her husband Gary that is rarely seen in my life of being 65 years old now, is the fact she is a Fully Commited helpmate and trust Gary, and Gary has her saftey and considers her ability and being physically weaker than he is in doing all this work, that has some Biblical aspects of what a marriage should be!!! I dont know if you guys are believers in Jesus Christ or not, but I encourage you both to investigate what the Bible says about marriage in Ephesians chapter 5, but not only that but the rest of what the Bible says about salvation through Jesus Christ which is the MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE!!! I Hope and Pray that God will help you guys realize that most important thing!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@paulshuppert4975]

If you screw it you can undo it. If you nail you could fail.

[@BHJourney1]

Well it's looking great to me! Gary you and Mel are doing your build as you research it to the best ability you have. I support you Bonnie 🙏🤗

[@dianapickering6891]

Great work. You're doing good up there fixing things the way that need to be done. Trial and error are learning. You're an inspiration to so many.

[@richardchiriboga4424]

Wow!! That was intense!! I would never have been able to do that because I am terrified of heights. Wonderful job guys!!!!!

[@darthslipknot91]

Dang it Gary!! They're called rafters, not joists brother!! Lol Much love to you both.

[@janiceserrano1259]

Gary scares me when he climbs up on the roof 😮😮😮😮😮I get so nervous 😢😢😢. He needs to build a zip line to get down off the roof faster 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 that might be fun for him ??? Have a wonderful weekend peoples.

[@JamesWilliams-rs5jn]

Gary, make those negative people happy. But one nail in, then use screws for the rest. Keep up the good work, house is coming along.

[@Ann10999]

😜

[@stevenhartley1350]

All you have to remember chuck is fear is a way of telling you your alive and will stay safe. Because if you have no fears you could make a mistake. Its safe to have even a little fear, but too much fear can be more dangerous than having none at all. Either way the house is coming along nicely 😊

[@hansnijntjes4283]

"How dare you ?!" LOL 😅😅😅

[@arielisraelben-zion4595]

Y'all work so good together. Awesome job. Blessings and Shalom Shalom Chaverim ✡️

[@lilahnewton7940]

HI MY SPECIAL KIDS. GO GET DONE!! KEEP THOSE BABY STEPS GOING. LOVE YOU

[@tammylibby5750]

You are doing well.Figuring things out as you go. Super excited about the progress from the beginning until now. Many changes, challenges and many blessings.❤❤❤❤❤

[@kateatthegate771]

Blooming ek, this looked a right nightmare, you guys rocked as ever! You're a great team!! Love it 😊❤❤

[@larryfeeks6620]

The Coolify neck air conditioners look like a great idea! I'm glad the ladder save worked. Careful up there, Mel!

[@garyferguson1088]

I think you guys done one hell of a job in building your home,, I do some building myself and I'd put Gary up beside any carpenter,, ANY CARPENTER,, I've watched every show on building your home,, and Gary really impresses me,, He doesn't cut corners,, He does better work than most carpenter's I've seen,, I'm also very impressed with Anthony,, keep up the great work,, Love all your videos

[@eloleddie]

Confidence level: I am just thinking of the first few videos I watched of you doing the framing of the footings and eventual "first" pouring of the footings and the aftermath of the same and the level of confidence with which you are tackling the somewhat involved roof structure over your deck - - - - - - - what an amazing level of confidence, knowledge, thinking through and seeing the future tasks to be completed and all come to a fantastic ending result. My hat off to the two of you! How you have grown! Congratulations!!

[@rosspearle6367]

Some people just seem to be here for one thing...to gripe, complain, and make rude remarks. I say keep weeding them out, let them go somewhere else.Unbelievable job for two novices. Waiting patiently for the finished product. I know u will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Take Care

[@elvisfisser7264]

Garry on the next one, screw in two bords under the trussers and lay your " ladderwork" on top. Much easier and safer.

[@lauraquigley6403]

So proud of you over coming your fears Mel! Go Gary … use all the screws you can. Even morons know a screw has a better grip then a nail🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@patriciafuchs5970]

The house is coming g along!stand proud!! Glad to see you both, please be careful on the heat. It is so dangerous.

[@marilynstorey8813]

Don't beat yourselves up! Considering what you are working with wet wood and warping wood! You are doing a great job!

[@suejackson1731]

l love my neck fan although here in the UK the temperature goes up and down, one day sunshine the next rainy and colder. But l love rainy weather, l do remember when summer mean't summer it would be hot in the summer months. Now mother nature has gone nuts, but l am not complaining rather that than tsumani's and being too hot to think straight.Getting back to the cabin you two are doing a fantastic job l wish you all the best x

[@lilystilo710]

Good job guys, today I saw how far it is to the ground. Really far.

[@gardnerwilson57]

The good news, if you can call it that, is after all the struggling you did on that corner you finally have all the bugs worked out and therefore the opposite corner will be a breeze to build and install. Pencil pencil what pencil? We all can see it right there in your belly pocket. Mel don't feel too badly as things like that happen to me every day. Still looking great guys. ME southern AZ.

[@barbarahopkins5239]

Drew has helped Jeff with his sand filter at the old place. I know Drew isnt a plumber but he has some experience. Our Mountain Home Wylie is so practical about building things. ❤❤❤

[@hallierasbury65]

so proud of you two. What an awesome job. You are going to enjoy your coffee early in the mornings watching the sun come up and go down.

[@Millsmusicman]

Screws always! Lol! You're doing excellent work, warped wood is a pain in the arse! I know it's hard work, but the finished product will be a source of pride and accomplishment for years to come.

[@pamlucas1326]

Well done A team. I was feeling giddy up there. Nearly had to come down and leave you up there❤❤❤❤

[@andy9322]

Some cool dubstep music

[@smallsthecontractor718]

You’re absolutely right I go with screws every time screws are better for being under tension

[@ProfDrWolfgangHThome]

Hey there, I watch from Uganda / East Africa though I am originally from Germany (nearly 50 years ago) ... I continue to enjoy your quippy comments and will indeed drink some lemonade in the shade when it's getting warm in the afternoon ...

[@LupeTrujillo-t9s]

literally holding my breath !!😮

[@timwolters1969]

OK, Mell, I have to say you're going to be able to be a roofer soon. OK last year you would have never been walking on the roof :) your Awsome

[@paulvanhouts3365]

More hands? That’s what clamps would help with. I have used sash clamps to pull beams into place, much like what you were trying to do, alone, and I got it done. I used a couple and snuck the beam into location. Mel, don’t feel too bad about being unable to get that driver quote right at that awkward angle. If approached off an extension ladder on the outside, you would have succeeded, though it’s a scary height for you. Hey Gary, following on from your nails screws comment, you used those smooth things on three fly rafter set up, screws would have been great with some nails. When I watch these I just want to get in and help, but I see these after the fact, so even my suggestions are late, such is this scenario. You guys are getting it done, great effort.

[@TheMadManPlace]

Well done guys - so far so good... Gary, you need a cap like the French Foreign Legion have with a material "curtain" that is attached from the brim on one side, around the back to the same position on the other side and hanging down maybe 12 or 15 inches to shade the back of your neck and ears. Maybe get a design together and either sell it as a "sew on" or as a full cap already attached. And the softer the "curtain" material the better so that no chafing happens. Should be a good seller in your merch store,

[@rosechastain7356]

Lord i was nervous wreck watching 😅

[@paulineoconnell6734]

OMG WOW FANTASTIC WORK 👍🙌😃😁❤❤

[@sharonsmith9478]

You guys remind me of Trent and Allie on youtube they are going through the samething with there home to... i love you all

[@54maggiemoo]

How Gary walks so close to the edge and nails and screws make my butt pucker. 🤣 Now it puckers harder watching you work close to the edge. I could never do it. Great job, both of you.

[@HelenBaker-fd9tc]

You know that I just love the way you guys work with each other and the bond we see is great keep it up you two

[@paulshuppert4975]

You'll eventually get it. I have faith. There's always a way out.

[@murielAE]

Holy crap! Eyes closed here cause I’d be scared to death. Way to go. I especially like the positive self talk you both do! Nice work! I’m getting so excited for y’all!

[@ellymellor9265]

Well done guys. Phew 😅 I was holding my breath while watching you up there. I'm with you Mel, I struggle with heights, but like you, I've faced my fears and done it anyway. Proud of you girlie

[@karenbrest187]

Good afternoon 🌞 very scary positions up there - be safe. 🙏

[@christopherjones9491]

You guys are doing a great job! Don’t worry about what the critics say! You are making a strong build so keep it going!

You both are doing great. Love watching the progress. Be careful. Praying for you both to be safe.❤😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@shirleywarner8831]

My mind is boggled by what you are doing, glad you know and great job

[@jamesrudd63]

Hey Gary. I think your idea about putting the ladder up thru the rafters and onto the roof is safer. You could attach a long support at the center point of the ladder so that you can just slide the ladder into place and not need straps.

[@Cruela2b]

Oh my! I was holding my breath when you were both balancing up on the roof. Amazing work and skill. Even though I thought I was going to have to fast forward to get past the scary bits there for a while 😳 Well done.

[@victoriastaeps3692]

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

It’s so hot outside and I am glad that you two take a break and maybe cool your bodies down and please don’t get too hot out there and I am so glad that you have each other to help get it down I know it scares me when Gary walks across the rafters it so scary and I just cringe and ask God to keep you both safe love you guys and it’s coming along nicely and I hope you both have a wonderful evening

[@cwengle5119]

Gary, quit overthinking it, it’s rough framing! When you put the roof sheathing on no one will notice! The roof will be strong because you over thank it! LOL!

I would never attempt doing what you do, and I worked as a framer in the construction industry. Most of the time the blue prints were off, but my boss had to work it all out, not me. You are busting hump, and doing a fine job.
