WOW THIS IS HIGH! (Waterproofing Basement & Foundaiton)

[@melodygibson4889]

Look how far you have both came, from when you first got the land, building the hot tub, water system, cabin, you both have come a long way, I see the both of you working your butt off, can't wait to see it done, and what I like the most is that you both are so thankful to those that have help you along the way, thank you for sharing you story at least with me, I know you have haters out here, but don't give them the time of day, enjoy each other keep thanking God, and enjoy life, can't wait for the next up date,

[@Johnnymac66]

I adore the moments you both so kindly share with us to define the little milestones along the way. There will never be anything but admiration and enjoyment from me for these videos.

[@barbarakujawa320]

You youngsters are modern day pioneers! May God bless your daily work. A real kick watching you two. Video work and music backdrop are excellent!

[@khadijagwen]

I have a friend who built a house thinking that his wife would help. As it turned out she did not. I am amazed at how well you two seem to work together. Good Job.

[@khadijagwen]

So, you are such a winner that you have to threaten your mate to keep her with you? I survived being with someone like you for 39 years. Actually, it is mostly men who cheat.

[@khadijagwen]

I am watching two people build a house, nothing else.

[@khadijagwen]

I simply intended a complement. I worked as an Electrician, in construction and Industry for 32 years, so yeah ...

[@graceandglory1948]

I LOVE watching you work as a team. 😊

[@treedigger3000]

Just wanted to give you both a word of encouragement, what you are doing is awesome! Sharing the journey, the trials, the mistakes is why this is the best youtube channel of all. You are both amazing and being able to watch you has been so freeing for my wife and I we are closing in on making a very similar leap of faith and you have helped us to put realistic expectations on the plan. Keep up the great work and say THANK YOU!

[@morrow.m]

Y'all are working so hard. Don't know you truly but I'm proud of y'all and the time and effort your putting in. Y'all sitting on the footing looking at you not so great view as you said brought tears to my eyes. Glad you're taking a bit here and there to enjoy the bits you can. This is what memories are made of, you'll never regret it.

[@RelentlessHomesteading]

Yes - words for homebuilders and homestead builders to live by: "one day at a time", "it is what it is", and "tomorrow is another day". Great work guys.

[@jamies327]

you guys have come a long way since when you're building that deck and hot tub. your construction skills are growing by the time this house is done you guys are going to be awesome.

[@bernarrcoletta7419]

I love seeing you progress. Keep up the good work. Still praying that you get the house roofed and sheathed before the first snow

[@Peztilence]

Stay strong! These videos are one of the few highlights of my day, not saying my days are bad, no not at all, but these videos make them so much better!

[@oliviacampbell4246]

Right on Sherrill. As a self employed contractor I know how stressful it can be to use a new product,but these guys are unfamilar with the product, tools, knowledge and skills it takes to complete a project. I think they are doing a fine job. They can work on my job site any time. Having said that, now is a good time to take a few days to sit in the creek enjoy some time with friends and reflect on far you've come. Trust me you'll be glad that you did.

[@stephaniebeaton3939]

It was really nice seeing Allysa and Jesse sitting on their new home for the first time.

[@shannoncable9600]

You guys, I am sure, have your tense moment, but I love how awesomely you work together. You are an inspiration on many levels.

[@Kyrad777]

This is the one "show" I look forward to. Thank you two for taking the time to document this process. It's infinitely interesting!

[@janetcarrier313]

I really appreciate the confidence that you two have in each other... great teamwork...

[@johnhpinard849]

I just ran into one of your videos and haven't been able to stop watching them.YOU ARE VERY ENJOYABLE TO WATCH AND YOU ARE DOING A FINE JOB.PLEASE KEEP IT UP.

[@brianyeitz1380]

I could watch Alyssa cut rolls of waterproofing all day long ! you're a lucky man Jesse! Keep Up the hard work you Guys, Awesome job so far !

[@treenopie]

More amazing music selection and editing. Someone give this woman an award!

[@vettechdave]

you two are AMAZING! Thank you so much for choosing to document this process and share it with all of us. I can't imagine all the extra delay, stress, and effort involved in letting us be part of this but for what it's worth, THANK YOU! It is so cool to follow and my family and I are so happy for you two. thank you again.

[@uibsen]

Hang in there guys !!! You are doing great !!! Look what you have accomplished !!! Most of us are just sitting here wishing we could do what you are doing !!!

[@filkster]

You guys are going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad you put all this work into your home. Been there done that.

[@carenburmeister5002]

I respect you two so much for building your own house. You're doing a mighty fine job of it, too!

[@gonnahitcharide]

Almost daily, or nightly, I appreciate hearing Alyssa's "heh heh heh" laugh, Jesse's dry wit, and Bugaboo's "merowr". Thank you all.

[@joepolen7212]

Hi I am a new subscriber but have been following your work for a while. In my opinion it is both of you that makes your channel so interesting and valuable. Specifically you both care for one another (your well being and emotional support for one another is awesome to see every day, from beginning to end of day), you are not bothered by your mistakes and freely share your learning experience, you both work so well together and understand one another (how you think about the project and share ideas together, very complementary!). A channel featuring either one of you would not be nearly as interesting, it is both of you that is the success of your channel. I am sure your comments from some viewers come from their learning and professional experience to their credit but you guys share a special relationship with us that I think is greater than home building. I am an old retired guy whose wife passed away more than two years ago and I miss her more than any projects I have done. Please continue your precious time together sharing with us if it pleases you. Thanks!

[@brentderksen]

Alyssa is a hard worker. Case and point.

[@phillips.english1442]

When Jesse was removing the forms from the new cement I could smell it !!!

[@National757]

I know you studied, and read up on what you were going to do. Or were getting yourselves into. And nothing will ever match the satisfaction you both have when you are all done. But Could you have ever imagined how labor intensive this project would really be? And this is just the foundations and concrete walls! I am amazed! Incredible job by you both!

[@pu1ypj]

Use the spare ICF to make a nice battery box for your Solar System!

[@donaldelmore8421]

I have been watching you guys forever, you are magnificent, watching you through your good times and not so good times and the way you work together is awesome, look forward to each new episode.

[@pansyjordan5508]

Alyssa and Jessie great work y'all are doing and "one day at a time ". Love watching your videos. Working and editing I can't famine all the hours you put in for us. Thank you so much 😀👍🏻

[@rodgow4495]

Alyssa's one hell of a good worker

[@kentowens2179]

I enjoy your videos, and one thing comes to mind. You are one lucky man to have a lady like that to work with. Keep up the good work.

[@MrTylorGross]

Alyssa, don't forget, the sawzal USUALLY works best when the guard is againts the object, and it saves your hands! You guys are great!( i realize this is last week lol) but for future!

[@Lmiller201]

Tylor Gross i was thinking the same thing, however she's cutting on styrofoam, the guard would dig in and actually make it more of a pain. my thought would be to use a grinder with a cutoff wheel for trimming and a sanding disk for remove the spray foam. i had a project where i had to use spray foam to fill gaps before applying a waterproofing spray. the sanding disk made quick work of it and it smoothed out really well

[@MrTylorGross]

Lyle Miller , it's not 1/4 foam board, using it as a guide would be fine jamming it into it, not so much.

[@Lmiller201]

Tylor Gross ok, cool, you're the expert

[@dougmatthew9987]

The most important part of a good house is the foundation. And you guys have one. Keep up the good work.

[@rjb77]

You two have done a FANTASTIC job. I've been watching your video's since day one. Thank you so very much for putting together such a good build as well as very well done video's.

[@rideomh]

loved the closing scene... so very real

[@Madshadowgolem]

You guys are doing great! Don't forget safety though. A basic fall arrest harness will save your life when you are near the edge on a tall structure and tired. Even folks in the trades use them. One 6 foot fall can end your life if you land wrong. Also stick to hand tools if you have to cut towards yourself. Much less likely to do serious damage. Finally, speaking as someone who learned the hard way...always lift with your legs and not your back. Remember, you have a long way to go so pace yourselves for the long term and to avoid burn out. Remember to take moments to enjoy the process and the learning. We are rooting for you! Take care of yourselves and each other!

[@dimmaz88]

You guys are an inspiration! Even though my build will be nothing like yours in size or building methods, I'm still learning lots. Especially with the attitude you have, you're so dedicated.

[@NZErehwon]

Love the music choice at beginning & good work to you both

[@NZdorking]

Jack Pollock probably nowhere ""

[@borthewolf3376]

Don't worry about what needs to be done but enjoy what you have already accomplished. Then the job becomes amazing.

[@derekkiernan4173]

Congrats to you both use are a brilliant couple hope use have many happy years in your new home

[@LordFleming]

Such an spectacular achievement, you should both be very proud. If I may... Many of us are watching a loving couple achieving their dream. Jesse, you're a great guy and you're married to a lovely and beautiful lady, tell her once and a while how lovely she looks and that you love her. Complete the romance novel for us :) This is my favourite KZbin Miniseries.

[@LordFleming]

I think it might be a conscious effort to exclude romantic emotions from the camera for the sake of decency, Canadians are very polite. But I think the world wants to see more of the bond they share.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

LordFleming They're not Canadian.

[@LordFleming]

Yeah, I was just looking that up... allow me to amend that by saying "The Pure Living for Life Couple and Canadians are very polite" :)

[@MsSomeonenew]

You do understand people keep most personal things personal...

[@LordFleming]

I can't agree totally with that one, sorry dcsoxford, good observation though, well spotted. On looks alone I would say yes, but I'm a Mechanic and I don't wear my wedding band to work for safety reasons. I'm thinking because of the physical labour and the nature of the work involved, it might be a practical reason to not wear wedding bands.

[@kslinthesand]

Great work guys, you dedication to the project (and somewhere warm and mouse free to sleep ) is amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@santosbay]

Nice to see the progress, great work.

[@amarieshearer7613]

It is so good to see the progress! You will appreciate all the hard work! Even when we get a little thing done in our home we get excited!

[@DonCrowder]

Awesome video editing. Really adds to the overall level of professionalism.

[@kostaskoroneos9999]

Whaohhh! What an accomplishment! I am hooked on your story. All the best from Athens.

[@offgridsweden]

You guys are working so hard. I think that what you are doing is amazing. Keep going guys.

[@chamilton9182]

Great Vid guys. Really enjoying watching your progress. So happy for you. Jessie, I know you don't read these, but hopefully Alyssa does. Go get one of those cheap canvas carpenter aprons from the big box store. It's a great place to put your tape measure, screws, pencils.... will save you a ton of time and effort. And you won't have a shirt pocket full of screws. Just an idea. God Bless

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Congrats on getting the wall done! This is a major milestone for you! I enjoy watching your channel! Have a Great Day!

[@nellumyeoj]

I love you guys, thank you for sharing this whole project. It definitely makes me feel more comfortable that I can do it one day, no matter how difficult it may be

[@doctorjohn-burgtekie]

You guys are awesome burning that candle on both ends my hat is off to you all.

[@terrybowden3499]

You are a great team! I enjoy watching the daily progress on your house.

[@tiborkeresztes1767]

Building something like a house is always a long hard walk up the mountain. Good job, and hope you can keep it up. I've built a house too, i know the hardships, but everything is good wenn its finished. Again you are doing great. Greetings from Hungary

[@RichardGDBaker]

Fantastic video you two. Lovely little finale too - very sweet. Thank you so much for sharing - I love watching your progress. Cheers.

[@trenvan5546]

Somebody has probably said this already but if you place the sawzall foot against the surface it cuts way more efficiently and is quicker and much less effort. Also brushing the forms is required by the manufacturer so good on you ;)

[@asmera4547]

what an adorable couple, kudos to you. The elephant turds will def. be a great addition to some kind of garden!

[@BCElginTex]

Awesome. I have been away at sea for a week, without access to your house updates. My elephant turds came in real handy when leveling a spot on the hill for our shed/boutique. Used it on the ground then poured fill on top for the pad.

[@ViviansDIYProjects]

My heart goes out to you two. {{hugs}} One day at a time, one step at a time. Just remember to have fun when and where you can. Praying for peace and wisdom. You're doing great!

[@sippe3985]

the music is gold

[@zaphodtrenchcoat]

Very happy for you both. What a tremendous job you have done.

[@shitebehondbelif]

Grand job. We have a saying here in Ireland "you never see the Work", it will be worth it in the end.

[@reubenmaynard3051]

Alyssa is a true JEWEL in the rough. Amazing!

[@chadder19k]

If you guys had a spot to get rid of the dirt down over a bank to make the front of your property bigger that's what I would do with it. Keep up the great videos

[@mrmiz2547]

also I love that you're sorting screws... some contractors just dump the box out in the dirt and go get a new box... it drives me crazy. It's good to see others care about materials because hired labor rarely does.

[@Goody953]

You are a good team together. Keep up the great work and the nice videos love watching your progress

[@wpgrunner5]

Great technique for laying the waterproofing! Satisfying to see it go on so clean and *easily*!

[@fynbo1007]

Great job done so far, thank you for sharing your amazing video

[@wranglerdave6452]

Glad your foundation is doing better.and you had no extream MAJOR BLOW OUTS

[@scuzzbecuzz]

Incrandedible!! I appreciate these VLOGS!!!! Gonna have to become patreon soon, the Lord willing!!!

[@reynoldsbrad]

Nice to see something go smooth for you two.

[@ESTIsLaced]

I love watching your videos while im getting ready for my morning. Its mind blowing how far yall have come!:)

[@tanyalow4090]

You're doing an amazing job guys. And you're almost there

[@pallademo5391]

I think you two are great im only 16 and you two inspierd me to creat my own mini projects nothing as good as yours but I tort myself how to make boxes and chests so I would like to say a big thanks and good luck with what you are doing and eliser (sorry if spelt wrong) good job with editing I know it is hard

[@Readthepeoplef5063]

Nice job guys that's the best part and a good thing you have a video of it to look back

[@greywinters4801]

Nice bonnet, all you need now is a cute little bow.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thumbs up for the hard workers!

[@1homemademom]

omg i love watching you guys worked together ... just want you to know how much i appreciate that you video taped it and are sharing with all of us .my husband and i did work together and at first we didn't... we had our own jobs the first 10 years of our marriage . and we never had as much time together .long story short ! We finally got tired of working for other people so he asked me one day would i be interested in just dropping everything i was doing. leave everything i worked hard for and as well as himself and just start working together. well i at first was a little Leary about it because i enjoyed what i was doing finally ! at least that is what i thought . the moral of the story is we wasted so much time over the years listening to other people say oh its not good working with your spouse you would go crazy !! well that was just not so . we had 10 years working for other people and the next 20 years we worked together doing home improvements and that fist pump yall just did was such a great memory for me we did that everyday because we were very happy at what weve accomplished together and felt good about it ! as of now my husband has been gone since 2013 .its hard at times but i am very glad we had those 20 years so close together i learned so much from him as well as he did me . life is way to short . i have such great memories because of it and the know how to take care of many things as well ... so we had 34 years together where we may not have had because of some cliche.. etc.. most marriages end because you end up growing apart in your careers . really enjoying these videos thanks so much for posting them . your around the same age we were .just enjoy it ! trust me their wont be any regrets

[@TubeDeviant]

I clicked the "Thumbs up" after.. "One day at a time.." Any time you are grinding through things in life which are time consuming, remember to take it one day at a time and not think of it as one big project.. No matter what difficulty or hard work you are going through..

[@hardyboy2609]

Love the videos keep up the hard work

[@seansysig]

Your build specs. R-23 insulation value + fire rating + rebar tie strength provide an incredibly strong foundation. Can't wait for the timberframing to commence!

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Wow you guys are kicking it! I know it is way too late, but for future reference you can bend the sawsall blades so you can cut flush from the inside of them foam blocks, if that makes sense. Cheers!

[@RoseBud-fk4qg]

I like the magic pocket trick the endless screws falling out. Yes water proof everything now not later

[@VenturiLife]

Nice journey. Should have a nice house by the end there.

[@JasonSmith-sv4zf]

my ears will be so happy once all this squeaky foam is done

[@sherrymilhon5377]

At the end of each day we would think you can hear the hottub calling lol Stay safe out there.

[@Avahloz]

keep up the good work! its become a habit of mine to keep watching your progress its also very informative.

[@didikjes]

Green filled diamond!! A Sims referal? You rock guys

[@Nasher667]

Tip for the sawzall, always keep the guard against what your cutting, otherwise your fighting the tool.

[@lovemind8466]

I just started following you guys and I am loving the things that you guys are doing in your Channel such an inspiration...

[@warppreachersfx]

I like the background music. BTW, not falling off the wall is a good thing, as you would take a lot longer by yourself.

[@TheScottfourty4]

You guys are truly awesome. I really enjoy watching all your videos. I can hardly wait to see the final product!

[@taraarmour4880]

looking really great!! Looks like that membrane went on a lot easier than the first one!

[@stewart51able]

Nice team work guys...thanks for sharing again...

[@markn2904]

Cleaning house already!!! You will do it! Thanks for sharing.

[@bunnywarren]

I'm sure many people have done a job, stood back and felt proud of what they managed despite how difficult it was. Then you tell someone who points out a much easier way to doing it.

[@richdunn8613]

You guys rock, good luck with the rest of the build. Wish I was there to help youse!!

[@i.p.freely2501]

I like turtles.🐢 .... and you guys are awesome! Too big for my tank though 😃

[@peterkizer6163]
