This DIY took me 3 YEARS! Everything I’ve Built and Learnt.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Thanks so much for watching

[@Scorpio77902]

One of my highlights for Sundays is actually watching Simple Living with BIATA. Seriously, always a good morning when I see an upload from your channel, such an inspirational journey you're sharing; AND it's always great knowing all those haters who said you couldn't do it, are eating crow. LOL Such a HUGE Project to take on, especially without having any experience. I don't know you personally, but I'm so proud of you and your husband and family for supporting you, is just amazing. :-) Great Job Biata, hope you and the FAM have an awesome week. - BC

[@dallascumming8750]

Looks like the special offer is only for the American Factor website.

[@johnthompson2143]

Been following you since the near beginning, the ups and downs and in-betweens. Excuse the expression but, you’re a bad ass!

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you so so much! So many ups and downs but perseverance wins!

[@leightonhoward8545]

All of this to where you are now and realize I was not on the property with but I was in all the way, you are my super diy construction LADY and I love ❤❤so much, cry with you when your back went out, man I felt that so much, but guess what, I'm still there with you all the way, Love you and family always 🇯🇲👍👍🙏💕💕🇯🇲

[@robertbesanceney7958]

You should be extremely proud of yourself. What you have accomplished is amazing. I have worked on and off for years, building and remodeling. I learned a lot by watching DIY shows, and then just doing. It is a great feeling to accomplish something like building a home. Congratulations.

[@freedomrider30]

Been here from basically when the slab got poured. Your works? A+. Your production? A+. Your attitude? Perfectly Normal with all the ups n downs! Overall entertainment value to me? A+! Awesome, you are!!! O??? Your drywall timeline??? Double it!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 A+ B!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Haha thank you so much! lol drywall timeline … I was thinking a month. I wonder how long it will be lol 😆

[@realgirldiy]

You're doing so good!! I'm so proud of you!! ❤

[@mamich08]

Cam is fortunate enough to share with his friends and co-workers that his wife makes the home, and his wife built the home as well. 😀😀

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Haha it's nice to be bragged on here and there ;)

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Girl, you are an inspiration to women. You have shown your daughter that girls can do these types of jobs and that it is okay to ask for help when needed. Great job!!!!!

[@DrWes1962]

So true. I see a lot of women as clients and I send the to Biata's site to learn DIY for their homes and to feel validated in that kind of work and they LOVE Biata.

[@OlehPich]

You have proven the adage that basically one person can achieve great things. Keep up the good work and more power to you!!!

[@timrees2670]

Biata, you and your family must be so proud of your work ethic and your journey. Take care❤

[@andruspuusta4230]

Your level of skill and diligence is astonishing!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

You did a awesome job building your home Biata 👍

[@bebetjones5551]

OH. MY WORD!!!! To go back through from start to now is AMAZING!!! Young Lady, you are amazing! You took on a huge task to learn all you have learned to build a home for your family. And here you are - ready for drywall - the home stretch. I was overwhelmed just watching this timeline and all the major task you took on that were daunting!!! I'm excited to see the completion of your home and the outside projects you want to accomplish!!! Now just get ready for a time consuming, boring task!!! LOL Yes, drywall is so time consuming, but it's the final part to get ready for installing your kitchen and bathroom.

[@sylvainbriere2942]

I hope you realize how amazing a person you are. You face every challenge with such courage and determination. Your house is going to be soooooooo beautiful.😊

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Aw, thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words, it means a lot!

[@eduardomontes1276]

I wrote you this one day, you have to be proud of what you have overcome, not of what you have achieved. I have been following you almost from the beginning and you doubted your abilities, but your drive saved you at every moment. In the beginning you only had Plan A, but over time you developed Plan B, Plan C and that's how you got to where you are now. Keep up the good work and greetings from Spain.👍👍💪💪

[@TABO744]

I only have one thing to say to : “YOU’RE SIMPLY AMAZING” …. This is a awesome video WELL DONE

[@Heb101922]

What you have accomplished is very impressive. Glad to see that you are entering the home stretch. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring others.

[@Eliz2011abc]

♥Wow! This is Girl Power at its best! Seeing you grow as you learn how to do all these tasks is very inspirational. ♥Thank you for sharing.

[@EdwardDorville]

I am compelled to comment publicly for the first time on KZbin. Your series is hands down the best resource I've consumed. A few years ago I bought a 1950s home with great bones, very livable for my family, which includes a 5 and a 3 year old...but with 30 billion projects needed. Not having the capital to embark on any of them, I've resorted to educating myself on how a home functions and the systems that makes it up, with the hope of prioritizing each project in sequential order of what needs to happen first and tackling them when circumstances allows. Your journey has taught me so much, the style you've chosen each week to include the failures along with the success has been perfect. Can't wait to see the progress this year and the future projects you'll embark upon. Continue doing you. People need to live and let live. Huge fan of yours is an understatement. Cheers from Las Vegas, Nevada.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this with me. It’s so much work isn’t it? Especially with kiddos in the mix! But sooo empowering learning all these things. Especially when it’s not really affordable hiring every single trade out. Thank you so so much for your comment

[@justingrunwald4431]

I’ve loved watching this, even though Ive watched for years, your a Champ I can’t wait for the updates from Sydney Australia

[@beckyderrett7489]

I have been hear from the beginning I can remember you hitting 500 followers and you were so excited now look at you! Every week you amaze me, so looking forward to this year seeing it all come together!

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you! That was truly an exciting time when my channel picked up!

[@eloleddie]

What a lovely review of the process you went through to accomplish your goals! Things do not come into reality by just wishing they would. Preparation, planning, obtaining advice, etc. also require the willingness to learn, to not be afraid to ask for advice and encouragement, and growing constantly in confidence - they are all part of a building process. And you have grown as you proceeded in the construction of the home for you and your family (and that is actually in the reverse order!). Congratulations on your achievements thus far, and on building the relations with trades people and others that you could ask for advice, or discuss the progress you were going through. Hats off to realizing who you were for yourself - and growing the courage to continue on when the going got tough, tougher than you had counted on, yet never too tough to give up. Keep it up Biata! I stand amazed!!

[@northwoodsyankee3528]

I've been here a long time. I think you're all rocking it. Everybody does what they can and when they can. You're on the final stretch...I can't wait to see it all done!

You are amazing. my wife could never have done what you have accomplished. it’s full credit to you you are talented don’t let anyone tell you any different. happy new year to you your husband and daughter and your Mum and Craig as well .

[@homesteading9594]

Thank you for sharing all that you've gone through and accomplished. It's an inspiration and demonstration that the diligent always wins. May your 2025 be extraordinary!

[@RDJ-v5j]

You mentioned several ways to pay it forward but I believe you left out the inspiration and, joy, and entertainment you have provided to your KZbin family along the way.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you for this!

Thank you so much for this. It’s soo much work. My family has been so helpful in the background. Even just having an equal partner when it comes to parenting and cleaning is amazing

[@lazman111]

As a 40+ year veteran in the HVAC trade, I have to say you have done amazing job. And the emphasis on what most people don’t realize what it takes to do the different segments of the building world. And now that you have all this knowledge, you might have created a whole new career for yourself as a builder, so there’s another big plus there.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Wow thanks so much for this! Yes I think it’s why so many trades dislike each other, because the previous trade might not think about the next. It’s really cool to have a bit of knowledge on each trade!

Hello Biata, in the Netherlands where I live there are mostly brick houses. For me it is very interesting to see how a wooden house is built. I do technical work myself so I know that sometimes it is not easy. Keep up the good work, you're amazing 😻

Hi new subscriber here. I love watching us women take control and get it done. You are an inspiration. I just have one comment, well beyond that. Nature is so beautiful and being able to have a deer eat from your hand is magic, it is also dangerous for them. If you want to make sure they eat put the food somewhere and let them find it. By feeding them from your hand you're teaching them they can trust humans and the next one they walk up to for food might shoot them.

[@sunline24]

Nice recap of the total build.

Thanks so much!

[@patrickcharles6953]

Congratulations on your approach to building your house, I will follow your example and build my house too. Do you have any basic tips to advise me?

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Connect with local builders, ask loads of questions, work with the suppliers who are willing to spend more time with you! And take it one step at a time :). And of course this is just my opinion, I’m not a certified builder!

Quick question when you cut all the big trees down did you decide to use them for lumber. That would save you some money. Just curious

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

No just because we would’ve had to have every piece of wood engineer stamped. It’s a lot of work for the same result. Were using the wood to heat our home :)
