Trying To Beat Winter | Building Our Own DIY Tiny Home

[@mscharylee]

When you guys aren't posting, I am so grateful that I can go back in time and watch you in earlier posts. A day without your family is quite lonesome for me. I love your family so much.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Aww thank you! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

The rectangular carpenter's pencils don't freeze and don't roll away when you set them down. Sharpen them with the small blade (pen blade) on your pocket knife.

[@robertjones7023]

Fun fact: Carpenters pencils are also used as measurement short cuts, ¼ inch thick x ½ inch wide. I once watched a documentary on carpenters pencils... Don't ask.

[@ameliavernon3026]

Thank you for sharing your life with us, I really like the sheep. I am 70 now. I was raised on a farm, where we had sheep, goats, pegs and cows. Your show brings to my mind so many memories. Thank you.

[@CynthiaVicario]

What a beautiful video. I’m so happy for your family. All you hard work is simply humbling. I was smiling throughout the entire video . The landscape of winter is so majestic. I’d have to commend you on the ending . Music was inspiring along with the visuals of fire burning in the winter backdrop. I’m just in awe of your journey .God bless your family .🙏🏽

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you, makes me happy you enjoyed it

There's no such thing as bad weather, Only unsuitable clothing. Once you figure that weather out you’ll be good.

[@mimicolvin3200]

Jeremy don’t look so down, you have accomplished a lot and it is awesome. The best is yet to come and you and Melissa can say”WE DID iT” a job well done. Melissa put on a cap or hoodie and some gloves to fight the bitter cold. The both of you take care and be safe. Luv you all from Alabama.

[@estaisadore6188]

Well said..

He did look down didn't he or tired, they're doing a good job its looking awesome 🌺

[@vmorganbogart]

Yes, everybody should wear hats. You lose a lot of heat through your head.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

The snow looks beautiful 🤩 but my joints do not like the cold attached toy the snow!....I can let you in on a secret of mine....I am not ever going to build a shower, let alone a bathroom! My age is 73!......I really enjoy 😊 the children’s video....God bless y’all abundantly and stay safe and healthy!.....thank you for sharing your family!

[@nancymayberry1900]

The evergreen trees look so pretty with snow on them. Your bathroom is looking very nice.

[@davidmcgregor4691]

You guys are living my dream. Please keep up these fantastic videos. We truly love following.

[@HeatherNaturaly]

You need to get yourself a snowmobile suit. They are AMAZING in the bitter cold... I practically lived in mine, in Michigan. Don't have a ton of use for it here in Tennessee..thank The Lord!, but it's nice for getting used to sudden dips in temperature before the Winter sets in.

[@sonyagregory5711]

Hey that brush fire should warm the whole farm up! I love burning brush and twigs and old branches here at our farm. We sit around for hours tending the fire and talking and laughing! Mmmm! Marshmallows!❤😊🙏🙏🙏

[@pjbenne1]

I MISSED THE WINDOW LOL 63 retired nurse but I have chicks. that yes they are my divas But I finally done it and hubby built them a castle. LUCKY AND BLESSED TOO. Love your videos

[@randyfredricksen5963]

Enjoying the little things in life like seeing the last bit of insulation covered up...then remembering this is just the temporary quarters. Gotcha..lol

[@SilverGoth]

Your shower looks so posh! It’s got that industrial look. I didn’t know there were so many steps to making a bathroom until I started watching home renovation videos. OMG! I am happy to throw money at that and let someone else do it. By the time you get around to building your forever home you will know how to do all of the things!

[@marciaolson5708]

Awe, hang in there Jeremy! You’ve done an awesome job, both of you have! Take time to enjoy once in awhile, life is too short! Don’t spread yourselves too thin!

[@LadyJ5569]

The bathroom is really coming together and I can't wait to see the finished room. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you! God bless ❤

[@gabrielmatthews1671]

All in fun. You make me. Happy. And laugh.

[@ALZ2526]

Family time at my home with your family, Blessed we are with family.

[@sharonstuebi8181]

Fire like that scares me! Having a functioning indoor bathroom is a game changer!!!

[@gingerreid8569]

I loved seeing the slow-Mo on the fire, but also after all the fires over there...a nervous eye watching

[@cookfred281051]

The freezing of the Sharpie ink reminded me of when NASA spent thousands of dollars designing a pen to work in zero gravity and the Russians just used a pencil!

YOUSE GUYS !! Please step back and admire what you have accomplished!! Excellence, thats what you have accomplished!! Great job!!

[@sharronmiller451]

Beautiful view. Hope you get the shower in. I know you will be glad. I have to be honest, l couldn’t do a composting toilet!! Lol!!

[@littad7128]

Gorgeous video. What you Guys have achieved so far is Phenomenal. The place looks so picturesque with all the snow. Have a great weekend. 👍☘️💯💗👊

[@CynthiaVicario]

I agree 100%. It truly is phenomenal. What makes it even better is that they are good decent people . 🙏🏽👏🏽

[@estaisadore6188]

Yes... And yes!!!!

[@christophercummins5636]

Don't worry you are closer to the end good night thanks for sharing guys

[@shirleytaylor186]

It is so beautiful there. We just remodeled our 1970’s bathroom. My husband is 79, it was what he consider his last major project. It turned out so nice, but it was a long process. Old is slow but sure.lol

[@carol-anntrudell9990]

Your children are so beautiful and well behaved. Your property is amazing. Waiting for the finish of the shower and see the joy on all your faces. God bless you all.

[@eleanorflynn370]

The bathroom is looking good and God willing you will all be able to shower in your cosy home . All the best

[@laurapadgett3552]

I’m so excited for you and your family! I can’t wait to see the happy dance when it is all finished! Stay warm!

[@jeanwillis6537]

Love watching your progress! And love watching your sweet kids!

[@chasviaud4123]

When you tile the shower area spray a mist of water on the cement board so the wall doesn't pull the moisture out of the mortar and not allow the tile to hold after a few hot showers.

[@NaeSTay]

That crackling noise from the fire is so relaxing

[@jameskennedy9655]

I think you know but I'm going to point out. It's a family, it's Mom, it's Dad, it's so rewarding, but it's hard, it's so filled with very special moments, but it's not easy. It's my children, it's my family that wants to send a very special thank you for sharing your adventure ❤️!

[@mindi.m]

I am cheering you all on! It's so close 😊 Gorgeous footage and cool slo-mo fire shots.

[@liula540]

Watching Trent and Allie along you guys, I’m looking forward to see which family beat winter 🥶 to finish their home. Mahalo nui!

[@WonkyLambCrochet]

Its looks so magical, However i imagine how cold it is for you all. Not to much longer for hot showers in your new bathroom...

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Very cold, but absolutely beautiful 😍

Howdy from west Texas! Jeremy sure looks like he’s fed up with building, poor guy. Not too much farther to go and you’ll be able to relax a little bit more....well, until spring hits! 🥴

[@louisl.8724]

No he will not! When he finish this, He will have to start planning on the main house. Sorry Jeremy!

Idaho native here., get use to the cold.. 32 heat pants and shirts are awesome.. lots of layers 😊

[@keithhogan6997]

Costco has the 32° wear of which I nabbed some of the bottoms and boy do they make a difference!

[@stuartholden2652]

Best thing I can tell you to invest in is some Carhartt outer wear. The tight weave of the outer layer stops the wind very well. Because ya'll got some real winter headed your way starting in December and lasting at least till late February or March. Good luck and stay warm. Looking great so far, I was very happy to see Jeremy with a dust mask cutting the cement board.

[@lindascott2107]

You never cease to amaze me at all the things you guys do. Love watch the little ones out playing. I am 73 & my hubby I shovelling snow ❄ steady. But that's the way it is. You always make good video

[@DHarri9977]

I'm sure you guys will be so glad to have a full functioning shower w/hotwater a cozy fire going in the living room area, hot cocoa, life will be good very soon. Bless you guys we are cheering you on from afar, stay safe and warm

[@gingerreid8569]

The snow is gorgeous...but oh don't think we could live in it...so much for my dream of moving to Wyoming/Montana, lol...Wonder how much ,on average, is your winter snowfall? the bathroom is really just about done...know you will all enjoy the nice large shower with hot water! And those babydoll sheep...Lord, can't get any cuter! Stay safe and warm friends!

Our son and daughter in law recently bought a home to fix up. I got elected to do the bathroom. I can't believe that you guys stayed sane doing the plumbing. Often wished you lived in Nova Scotia, Canada. There would have been an opportunity for employment 😁. Take care. Love you guys.

[@cedarwoman2]

Just love to watch your videos. It is a blessing to see two people who love each other so much. Looking forward to seeing the bathroom finished. Have a blessed evening.

I loved snow when I was young, now at 83 I love weather in 70’s , I use to hear my mother in law say she didn’t like the cold, now I know why, I love seeing snow, but cold no lol 🌸💜🌸

[@kathrynrodlun1624]

I loved it when you smooched your fur baby!

[@fisherus]

I just wanted to take a moment and commend both of you, for raising such well mannered, delightful children. If you folks haven't seen one of their oldest daughter's (Nevada Souza) videos, you are really missing out on something special. Not only is she adorably sweet in her interactions with her siblings, you see something that, sadly, is a rarity today, with children doing their chores proudly and being thankful for what they have got.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you, means the world!

[@carleymay8681]

Your channel has come so far, as have the two of you! ❤️💪

[@faithbuller4086]

We bought a 680 sf cabin in the mountains of Colorado. We totally remodeled 🏡 it. It was a learning process for us too. We had my parents come to help, they were our version of How To - KZbin💖 🧰💰🔨. My Mom took care of our 18 month old Sweet girl while the rest of us worked. It went into the early winter there too. We had a very inefficient little wood stove in the living room that we kept burning all the time. You are doing great. 👏🏻

[@fallshillsidehome]

Beautiful video! I really enjoyed that! And yeah, I think Jeremy could rock a turtle neck! Especially one with a bunch of cats on it! haha You guys crack me up! Watching your videos is definitely one of the highlights of my day!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Oh yes. That would be snazzy tastic

[@nkrknl6443]

Besides having most of your work on KZbin video, I hope you both also journal/write things for your future grandkids on all you guys did to get to this wonderful homestead living!

Howdy from Jorja! My Dad used to say, "being cold just means you ain't workin' hard enough". Don't worry, the man's crazy. If you ask me, being cold just means you gotta find a heater. BTW, I'm STILL loving your videos. Thanks for continuing to share your lives with us strangers.

Good job Jeremy. It may be cold outside but stay warm inside. And the job you did on the bathroom you two is fabulous. The money you are saving by doing it yourselves is monumental. Here in Canada the cost of a bathroom is probably around 15 to 20 thousand dollars. So job well done. Keep up the good work!

Sorry Melissa, but I hate pumpkin spice everything..... well almost everything. Love me some pumpkin pie. Oh, and really love y’all! Praying for y’all to be safe and warm this winter. The tiny home is looking awesome and I’m sure there will be many fond memories in that place.

[@vmorganbogart]

The bathroom is looking great! I can’t wait to see it finished, but I’m sure not as much as y’all. Those sheep have the cutest little faces. I can see why you wanted them. Good job with Mrs Myrtle. It is so beautiful there, but I don’t think I could handle that cold. My arthritis & cold do not get along at all. As long as I could stay by a fire & observe through the window, I’d be happy. Not much further to go on the barndominium & then y’all can rest for a while. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
