We Complete the Quonset Hut Workshop | 7,000 Bolts Done!

[@Shelley-j2y]

I love that Ariel admitted that the two of them aren't always on the same page, and struggle at times working together. (tightening the bolts) It makes me admire you even more, because despite your differences, you forge ahead and get things done, together. You two are blessed to have each other. I want to thank you for sharing a life well done. In a world divided, you prove that working together, is the best option for all. Congratulations for accomplishing yet another monumental goal! Greetings from Michigan!

[@kwikfishron]

A classic case of "we had it all figured out by the time we were done". Great job!

[@susanrichards2081]

I have to say. You two are rockstars. You are tackling projects that you have never done. I’m simply blown away by your determination and teamwork! You both should be so proud of yourselves. You both are inspirational to so many people. Well done!💕💕💕💕

[@sandramarc4858]

You guys have single handedly built an airplane hangar!!! I can't believe you did it and I felt exhausted just watching you! Kudos to you both 🎉

[@alyssac8258]

I’m so thankful that you two keep it so real with how taxing this kind of work is! Emotionally physically and mentally. Its easy to watch a video like this and only see the good parts, not realizing all the tough parts, the arguments, the silences are edited out. I’m glad you share what the experience was really like!

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

Facts. It amazes me that people believe they do all this work together DAILY and they agree on everything with no disagreements. 😂 Sadly people with that kind of mindset chase a relationship like they “see on social media” only to never find it! It’s amazing the way adults can believe everything they see on a video without realizing it’s been edited to enjoy nothing more. No relationship is without fault. They are working hard to build a great homestead though…. Both seem like great people! I’ve never been to AK but I’m so fascinated with the idea of watching people build their dreams there….

[@jltest5230]

I swear, you two can absolutely do anything. There is no job you can’t conquer. Love spending time on your homestead. Bravo!!!!!

[@lindacox8156]

It is soooo AWESOME‼️ you 2 are incredible‼️‼️‼️7,000 bolts and all those panels‼️It is soooo huge😊‼️ 7 days of constant work- WOW‼️I hope you will both REST before you start any other projects‼️‼️‼️

[@leslienichols5268]

I can really see how a clean, dry, lighted and heated workshop will make a huge difference on all of your projects, especially during the long winter. Good job!

[@wonderchild53]

Long before the end of this video, I have to say that your determination, grit, and Human Spirit are a credit to anyone that has a challenge ahead of them...!!!!!!!!

[@davidbeach6947]

And your innovation as you encounter obstacles!

[@rascalsmom05]

We’re not just following along, but cheering you on!! Absolutely amazing work!! You deserved way more than a sandwich to celebrate! Pop the bubbly! 🎉🎉🥂🥂🍾

[@anitalehr4151]

But oh what a unique sandwich that was! Yummy!

[@villain1409]

You both deserve every little bit of happiness,you both have created for you both & your pets. The reason i gave up TV,is because of i never got to see,people like you both,create a lovely true story for your selves. TV is false,i do not do it @ all. Have a nice life,you both!

[@mountainbound1315]

I wish I was eating at your house tonight. Everything you make looks incredibly delicious. 7000 bolts will test a marriage. You two passed with flying colors. Great job! Bon appetit!

[@bonneymoseley1159]

You two blow my mind! I don't think I have ever seen two young people work together and accomplish all that you have. You are so determined to accomplish whatever you set your minds to. I think once rested up a little from assembling the Qhut, you will look at it and say oh yah we can get them ends done too! Arial, I see a massive storage room for all your canning, a cool area for fresh veggies like cabbage, potatoes, carrots, etc. You will have a great space and setup for all your canning, with all your processing needs right at your fingertips. No more carring stuff across the snow and putting in a cones or freezer, it will be under one roof in one area! You both should be soooo proud at what you have done.

[@dalet6250]

Amazing! The fact that you two decided you were going to tackle this project on your own and have now seen it through to this point speaks volumes about your collective will and determination. Kudos for a job well done!

[@isabelladavis1363]

You two are without a doubt the most self sufficient people I’ve ever seen…a true example of WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY! Congrats on your new addition …incredibly hard work ..just listening to you talk about the building of this is exhausting and I simply can’t imagine! What a well oiled machine the two of you make… such a compliment to one another…stay blessed❤️

[@icybar]

I’ve said it before, and everyone else says the same thing and probably better - You. Are. Incredible. Herculean effort, someone said - Yes! You work your socks off. Brave too. I know Airielle doesn’t like heights and there she is, gamely climbing to the top. Eric just figures it out, works around whatever the problems you meet, refusing to give in. And I just watched him run across the top! Aaaargh! I have so much admiration for you both.

[@Smalfry47]

You two are perfect for each other!

[@cbass2755]

Totally committed to each other

[@jamiehoward3151]

I absolutely agree

[@maryjanew20]

An amazing team!

[@betseytaft9585]

You two are amazing.!

[@harrygreen6935]

They are soul mates. Made for each other.

[@carolbaswell5019]

I hope you hear me leaning over the balcony of your lives cheering you on!! You guys are truly AMAZING!!!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

🥰 we appreciate that!!

[@anselg.2439]

Absolutely love your tenacity and Hard work. You both are truly amazing. Looking forward to the next video..

[@tjs114]

The spray foam will also help with the structure because it will 'glue' all of the pieces together. You might also consider building out some smaller rooms in the hut that include ceilings and set that space aside for the stuff that really needs to avoid freezing because if you put some fiberglass insulation in those partition walls and ceiling you'd really improve the heat retention in that space. You might also want to seriously check out grounding requirements if you haven't yet. That hut is tall and metal, and lightning... Well, just make sure you take that into account and consider a properly functioning lightning rod.

[@yardturtle]

Editing and cinematography in the tightening montage is top-notch! Somehow you made 7,000 bolts entertaining.

[@jasoncargill6642]

You guys are an inspiration to many! You guys are a great example of what the USA was founded on! Hard work, persistence, grit, and teamwork! You all make it look so easy, which I know it is not! So proud of what you guys are doing! Anything is possible! Sweat Equity, and so rewarding once the final projects are completed! Makes those peaks and valleys so worth it. Absolutely love your channel!

[@natsch1424]

It’s generous of you to share your lives as you do. You highlight both your joy and challenges and this balance and emotional honesty shine, thank you.

[@AliciaRyann]

Your comment deserves more likes. This is exactly how I feel. What a gift.

[@net_marie3153]

Beautifully put!

[@basilianelson2318]

Who else loves to watch Eric's reaction when he tries food 😅

[@StormWarningMom]

Literally waiting for him to say it was "the best ever" 😂

[@danieldick3884]

Oh my gosh 🤣😂

[@lewih7135]

Oh my gosh! 😂

[@danieldick3884]

If they ever sell merch then one of their shirt slogans should definitely be "oh my gosh"

[@Its.Berdan]

Wait for Eric to say he loves the food so much, then scroll the comments to make sure someone started a thread. 🤌

[@jeangraze8031]

Eric, your skills are literally through the roof. It's mind blowing that two people built this.

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

He gets dangerously creative with their equipment. Been watching since they 1st moved to Alaska. No major injuries.

[@dfoltz268]

I’ve never looked forward to ANY tv show or movie in my 46yrs as much as I do Simple Living Alaska! Seems like just yesterday you guys were doing chicken videos and how to make “Garden Tea” before you moved up. Amazing job on everything and as always thanks so much for the time you spend making these videos! ❤

[@straubdavid9]

You guys are amazing..... that was some undertaking for sure👍🏻 👍🏻Have a good evening Eric & Arielle .... take care 🚜🔧

[@shannonbeyers9765]

Congratulations on such a huge project. That's what makes you among my favorites to watch. Smart, hard working, indominable spirits, capable of so much by working together...and it shows. Nice job Eric and Arielle. 35 years from now you'll appreciate everyday that you built it. Be care and safe.

[@JamesCouch777]

What a monumental task! Good job on the build 💪👍

[@hardenmama1800]

What? A new video on Tuesday? Thank you! What a team you are! The hut is going to be life altering. You will be able to do so much in that space.

[@pisom4314]

it looks great!! BUT truthfully the real work starts now, the lights, the insulation the heat the end walls!! you 2 will get it done & it will be awesome... it just takes time & money!! thanks for sharing & be safe out there!!!

[@douggibson9084]

Excellent job Guys, when you get to use the heated quintet hut you'll look back and smile. The day "That was worth it!!"

[@starlight14400]

I love how exciting Eric is tasting the food they make he makes it so appetizing 😆

[@frankspragg9494]

That metal building is hard enough for a crew of 4. Incredible that the 2 of you were able to get it done.

[@marycleath17]

You two are the hardest working people I have ever seen. What a beautiful structure. You should be so proud of yourselves. ❤👏

[@arnoldhauger8561]

We are so impressed about what you two have accomplished. You set the mold for others to follow your work ethic Being a SUPERINTENDENT in the military in charge of Heavy Equipment/Construction all over the world,I must say you both have shown the World a Will Do,Can Do positive work ethic and attitude as a man and woman team. Me and the wife are blown away from the start of the pad to the last 7000th both. Super job.Kudos to you both. Matter of fact a contractor couldn't have done better and time wise. I know you both will forever be proud because you both can say."We Did It,".A long lasting memory forevermore Congratulations U2 on a Superb job from start to finish.

[@expatannie6958]

You two are absolutely amazing! Last year, my husband and I spent over 8 hrs. installing a simple extractor hood over our stove. Our house is from the 1950s, but newer buildings have higher ceilings so the hood did not fit. We had to saw off part of a metal extender, adjust everything to fit the lower ceiling height. And my husband doesn't like to read instruction manuals, just gets his tools and starts working. As said, after 8+ hrs. and an awful lot of arguing, our task was accomplished. We're still married, but I think a monumental project like the one you have just completed would be the end of us. Hats off to you both!

[@1972nlw]

One of my favorite parts of watching your videos is the amazing team work you two demonstrate, working together, supporting each other, and accomplishing the hard together. I am fully aware, it's not always roses and beautiful, however with the teamwork you are able to overcome the challenges a build a beautiful life together.

[@GiGi-f9o]

WOW! You guys did awesome! The shop is a massive monster!!! Great job!

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

I cannot believe you both did it. You are an amazing couple and totally in sync. You are incredible to watch and how you work things out. I have watched 5 man trying to put one of these together and they had some job and a lot of stress. So once again we’ll done on such an amazing achievement. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@richardmelanson7947]

That was a crazy amount of work that you both did with all the challenges you had to deal with. You both must have been thoroughly exhausted every day. You have said all the projects to come and i will be looking forward to them. You really work so well together. Until your next video, take care and be safe.(Judy NB)🌲🇨🇦

[@kristylynn4099]

🎉❤🎉 Yeah❣️❣️❣️ YOU TWO ARE AMAZING!!! Team work makes the dream work. I’m 60 years old now and still enjoy working hard and seeing the fruits of my labor. You must be incredibly proud of yourselves as you should be.

[@suzyschore5014]

Yeah, I’m happy for you two. The way you both work so hard together and prove that you end up with great results. You two are both awesome role models. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@steventrostle1825]

Well Said!

[@mommag3024]

The beeping from the lift was driving my dogs crazy. I think they're glad you're done too. There's no better feeling than getting summer projects done and getting things tucked away for winter. You'll be so happy being able to have all your equipment under a roof

[@ewakraft5770]

Not just the dogs, me too 🤪

[@NicoleHoltActress]

😆 my dogs, too!

[@notmyemergency]

My dog too!

SO proud of you two! My husband says I’m obsessed with “the kids in Alaska.” Well, yes I am. 🥰You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us.

[@monicasharma277]

No words! You guys are just 'Jhakkas' that's what we Indians call someone who's 'fantastic'! 🌻

[@dollyrazack3404]

You two - there are no adjectives to describe you guys, just awesome and intelligent, always look forward to your videos ❤

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

ONE of your most endearing qualities, that I love so much, is your ability to creatively design & create a solution to overcome ANY obstacle that you encounter !!!!!! BRAVO Eric & Arielle 👏👏👏👏

[@jaynegossett6638]

I am convinced there is nothing the two of you can't do! It looks fabulous. Time to fishing!!!

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

You folks have accomplished a ton!!!!! Thanks for taking us all along!!!!!

[@EddisonWen]

if there is an award for the hardest working couple, you guys would have won. Just amazing work.

[@vinceglauser4770]

It's so big. You can hide a B-1 bomber in there. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@ryanperry9472]

WOW!!!!!! the fact that just the two of you assembled this is IMPRESSIVE! I have said it before, but seriously, you both are a inspiration! I seriously believe you both could teach couples how to get along with each other and make their relationships better. Way to go! I truly love watching your videos! Awesome work! You both are going to be so stoked on that building!!!!! I am beyond envious! The food looks awesome! Please show more of your cat too LOL!

[@joegillespie9676]

What a job, glad everyone stayed safe.

[@robine916]

Quonset is an Algonquin word meaning "small long place." ("Quasimodo" certainly isn't small!) The first metal quonset huts were manufactured on Quonset Point in North Kingstown, RI, where there used to be a Navel Air Station. Such a great accomplishment for you guys! It is HUGE! ❤

[@ctech14367]

Well well well look at Mr Websters Dictionary

[@FarmersWifeHomestead]

Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment. It is so much bigger than I thought it was going to be, and the fact that you had no help is a testimony to how strong your relationship is! I look forward to watching future content from within those walls.

[@faniebasson4717]

A massive task for a team of workers, done by two!! WOW!!!!! welldone

[@shannonhawkins260]

Hi, you both deserve an award for putting the Quonset Hut by yourselves.

[@mariannereno-db4db]

AMAZING!

[@aprilninthr2886]

Would never think of eating mozzarella with salmon but it looks delicious especially with Ariel’s sauce. It’s terrific the way the two of you worked so hard together to build this great “hut”. What an accomplishment. Good job ..can’t wait to watch you again.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Yeah, the mozzarella threw me a little. That spread though looks delicious 😋

[@flowersflowers473]

Same! I’ve been taught that dairy doesn’t go with fish, but that combination did look delish!

[@Polar-xj1tv]

Eric and Arielle you two are the most hardworking couple on YT, or at least top 5. I hope everything goes well for you before winter sett in so you guys survive the winter in the new place? Give the four legged animal a hug and a kiss from Norway. you are the best and keep those vids coming please.

The workshop is looking really great and you both have done a magnificent job building it,Thanks for showing it being built here and Thank You for your videos Take Care.🌞👍

You two are MACHINES the amount of work yall get done together.

[@Arauge1981]

This thing is so much bigger than I imagined, what a nice workshop

[@kathrynhelm4176]

I am SO impressed. That hut is huge…I can just imagine you out there doing projects all winter long. I was wondering how you were going to close the ends off so I’m glad you shared that. To be honest, I was worried at the first that you two would not be able to finish it without help…how proud your loyal followers are on what you have accomplished. Hugs to the furry kiddos and you two also. ❤️👍👍

[@libbyselby9582]

Is there anything you two cannot do? You are amazing. Your spirit of willingness in taking on any project and learning as you go is wonderful. HOPE NO LEAKS😊

[@msears101]

Watching you drive the scissor lift onto the trailer, I knew those 2x6's were going snap..... because I have done things similar to it - recently. I was loading a "loaded" tractor tire into my vehicle. That is what I like about this channel. It is real. Stuff happens it is part of the story. I am glad you keep it all in.

[@melindaduty5081]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.... you guys are amazing!!! Great work!

[@marciathompson1237]

I like what it looks like, but I wouldn't want to put one together myself. I always enjoy you two working together. Take care and be safe Please. Thank You for sharing the Chickens with me, I love Chickens. 🙏🕊️🌻🌼🌹☕❤️💜👍

[@mariezafonte6473]

Wow, this was a tremendous undertaking, and you did it. The workshop is enormous.I can see you doing so much in there.The celebratory dinner looks delicious!! Great work!!

[@jerriallen8091]

You two are true hard working people. Like the way it was done in the old days. Do it yourself kind of thing. What made this country great.

[@juliechristian3287]

You both are one of the hardest working couples I have seen. We still try, but after many years and multiple times to Alaska, one of us just gets tired now. Should have started out in our 20's and 30's too. We love watching the work you all do and your down home personality. Bless you on your adventures!!!

[@1234eldibu]

About your comments that you two struggle with teamwork sometimes -- and I say this knowing that we see an edited video and you live the uncut version -- all the ginormous projects that y'all have accomplished are evidence that you two KILL IT in the teamwork department. Everyone's human, but you figure it out and truly move mountains together. You should be so flipping proud of yourselves!

[@bigslim492]

That is a huge accomplishment. Way to go guys. Very nice.

[@Rick1dat]

Hell of a job you two did, glad you got done. Been on a lot of construction site working and this project was hard compared to the thing I worked on. And just the two of you. That sure is some really good teamwork. You will sleep well for the next few days.

[@SandraHill-b4p]

Congrats Eric and Arielle. What an accomplishment. You guys are such hard workers with a no quit until done attitude. Eric you are so are so inventive. Love your home made tool. Glad you guys finished up with an awesome fish sandwich. You deserve it! Thanks for sharing your life journey with your KZbin family.

[@catherineb5191]

You guys ABSOLUTELY deserve to celebrate. I hope you are able to stay on this property for a nice looooong time to enjoy the fruits of this labor!

[@cmoreson4281]

Necessity is the mother of invention. You have worked out how to do it and make the changes with what you have that get it done. Ariel you sound exhausted towards the end of that last day. 7000 bolts, hope they gave you plenty of extras as I’m sure a few were dropped. In a few weeks you’ll look at this huge project with pride and wonder at your abilities and stamina. A big Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
