We’re In A Hurry, But Not

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

It looks amazing. Honestly , your homesteading priorities should NEVER be scrutinized . Y'all are doing great !

[@elizabethmacdonald4605]

Hear, hear!

[@gelwood99]

Exactly!

[@HOLLESjr]

I would have to have two doors for under there. One to service stuff under there. One for me to escape if a critter were to come under there while I was under there.😂 I'm a chicken.

[@deecooper1567]

I was raised that if you don’t have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything ‼️ I would like to see all they may sayers start just as they did, accomplish ALL they did in 3yrs Everything else will fall into place. Priority is the house & prepping land to grow food . Things will happen when timing is right🤩 I just wish I had the energy that this family has 😂 Remember, be kind or 🤐 ya’ll have a beautiful day 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@jamesbrown8718]

I agree with you, they are such hard working family, and got allot going on all the time. And they get it done when they get there time to do it. But it does look amazing.

[@JeanneDee-zz5th]

That little Buggy is a breath of sunshine!

[@alphb58]

So good to see the boys helping you! You're a great dad!❤

[@angelavaughan9477]

The skirting looks great! I love how the boys are a part of all your projects.

[@marymoran719]

Was hoping for a video today

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Ben! The skirting looks fantastic. It’s no one’s business but yours with regard to your project scheduling. I think you, Meg, the boys, and Buggie all work so hard and accomplish LOTS!

[@deecooper1567]

Agree 💯👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@poplarcreekfarm19]

“You’re not a rat” the best and cutest quote of the video! ❤

[@Bebe-vk7kw]

Looks more like a house than a mobile home with the skirting. Once the deck is on and that sweet herb garden is finished it will have a cottage feel. Good job it's the little things that make a place special. Meg is so creative she should have a pretty place to relax and dream. Keep on going.

[@lanyrogers5707]

Your unskirted mobile home didn't bother me but it sure is looking nice. Ya'll deserve a mansion for all your hard work but the humble home suits you well. Love it.

[@deecooper1567]

Agree 💯👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@pinkythechihuahua3156]

Same here. Now all ya need is that porch.

[@shadegarden7375]

Your youngest boy is such a big help and so sweet!! All the boys are wonderful!!

[@marciaparmeley4430]

Those boys of yours are going to have some mad skills when they are full grown! Good on you for teaching them so much.

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Your children are going to be able to fix anything and build anything! What a gift you are giving to your kids!❤

[@sherriekemper1828]

First, it's Ben working alone. Then Corbin comes out and then Buggy. A little bit later, Brett joins in and the next time I look, Jack is there. Love seeing the kids work with their dad.

[@dixsigns1717]

Ben, that looks amazing! And, watching you work with your children makes my old heart happy!

[@denisemusicnut]

The skirting looks great! I hope it will help to keep your floors warmer this winter! Buggie cracks me up! Her confusion about her brother being called a rat was priceless! I loved her enthusiastic “bye” and wave at the end! Someday, she’s going to have her own channel!

[@tonibreeden6364]

You and Meg have made a wonderful home and life for your beautiful family!!

[@nancyewan9685]

I agree. I raised 4 kids & I know how much work it takes raising kids. Life can be great fun.

[@teresaballard2137]

Your baby boy is always at the ready to help his daddy. I'm surprised at some of the things he is capable of.

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

at this point NEVER SURPRISED at what Ben can do!!

[@pinkythechihuahua3156]

You do realize that the baby is a GIRL I hop,. When she was born, they had already starting calling her Bug, and buggy stuck. Ben help me out, her name is like LILLY? Trivia for the late bloomers hee nor disrespect by that., but Megs midwife didn't make it in time so Ben caught the bsby! I'm so proud of both Ben and Meg.

[@lorrainetreves8364]

That lad with the long hair... younger than the older boys... is ALways ready to help. In all projects

[@peggyperkinson9798]

Love your kids working with you. Know some don’t like to be on camera but please tell them all what a blessing they are to watch. Love you and Meg too!! I’m 78 and you all bless my heart ❤️ PS, I’m still cooking from scratch, working the garden and learning watching you all.

[@judyschmidt4547]

Where you find dad you find Brett and Buggy. Awesome dads helpers.

[@teresacastillo5274]

I never noticed the lack of skirting before. But now with the skirting, it looks so good!! The kids being involved is so refreshing. Love the family vibe

[@cynthiaarmstronghopefulhom9672]

The skirting was right on time, right on your time that is. You don't have to be on anyone's schedule but your own. You and the boys did a great job.💪👍

[@debrezo58]

Your boys are very adept doing so many things on the homestead! Ben you are a very good teacher! 💖 It's looking really good!

[@rickmiller2244]

[@lindahubbs8146]

[@KAMB_n_Jinx]

Watching your boys running around barefoot brings back such found memories of my childhood. My siblings and I rarely wore shoes growing up at home. It seems in hindsight so freeing to feel the earth and live in the dirt.

[@deecooper1567]

[@joanbrewer5590]

Looks great. Don’t worry about the haters. When you have many many things to do, you only have so many hours in a day. Y’all are doing great.

Buggy always makes my heart smile. Great job on the skirting of the home.

[@dycook]

Buggie whipping by in the frames is funny. She is a very busy girl!

[@cathlyndeutsch9209]

I can't believe the difference the skirting makes. It just polishes your home off and makes it look so nice.

[@prairieheart5984]

Buggy It’s such a ham she’s always worth a thumbs up her goodbyes always make me smile

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

I know your twins help along with your younger boys. The twins do not like being videoed you once said. It’s great you respect their teenage wishes on that. You are a great dad!

Your skirting is looking great, watching you and your kids working together is just the best ❤

[@jeannettethorsby7085]

The skirting is looking fantastic! I love seeing your children always willing to help no matter the project. Watching them grow is just as awesome as watching my own children grow up. 🙂🦋

[@jjo5375]

The primer color of the siding compliments the color of the surrounding dirt! Good choice, Ben! : )

[@eustisin]

Looking good and it’s nice to see Jack helping . I grew up not wearing shoes just like your boys.

[@66bigbuds]

I can't believe how fast the kids are growing.

[@tinatippin5705]

That primer color really looks nice on the home. Who knew? It is looking amazing. Bye, Buggie. See you next week.

[@TobyCatVA]

Little sister defending her brother as " . . . not a rat." is the new gold standard of how precious that girl can be.

[@sheilamesick96]

Great job! That being said, it’s no ones business if it’s not skirted! 😡

Warms my heart to see all of ur babies there watching daddy at some point during this project. Seems like 1-2 stuck it out the whole way w u! So sweet!! Lucky kiddos to have a dad who can teach n show them these skills. This will most likely lead to unstoppable adults!! If I could title this video myself it would say something like “ tell me ur a good dad without telling me ur a good dad” lol

It looks great Ben, you're a hard working man!

Skirting project going well. Looking forward to seeing the remainder of this time making your home winterized. Thank goodness your son's help you finish a lot of what needs to be done.

[@rcjo2]

I was going to add about the venting, too. It needs vents every 8 to 10 feet so moisture doesn't build up underneath, causing mold. (My double wide is 45 years old!) It looks great!

[@DrHoyt]

I am so sorry people would leave negative comments. You both work so hard and are willing to share your days for our enjoyment and we complain. That is just rude. I appreciate your efforts. THANK YOU.
