About Us:
We are a family of 6 currently building our dream home our 20 acre homestead in North Idaho. We garden, raise rabbits, chickens, sheep, homeschool, and do just about everything that we can ourselves to achieve a self sufficient and debt free life for our family.
"Remember when you prayed for what you have now?" That's a really nice reminder
Great reminder!!!! we often forget to say THANK YOU, only keep asking for this or that. :-)
100%!! My wife and I prayed we’d be able to buy a home in a crazy Canada BC market. We’re 2 months in on our home now with full on reno’s, no kitchen, burnt out, you name it. This week I had to look back and realize what we prayed for in previous seasons. Everything works out in Gods timing, we just tend to forget to thank him for answered prayers. A great reminder
@@ginnyleedays she already IS. :-) :-)
Amen
@@ginnyleedays She already IS a great role model!
I work for Home Depot, and I'm glad they took care of you with the windows! Such a blessing for you!
Oh awesome, well we are so grateful!
Going to Home Depot just because of the awesome customer service!
God is soooo good!!!!!! I'm so sorry Melissa, but things happen and God does miracles! Home Depot is the bomb! My brother passed in 2018 and was working for them and they paid for everything! They are an amazing company! God bless guys!
❤
Don't do that , God doesn't care about their windows , He has more important things to do
@@AresGodOWar - God is in all things. Even the small. Your comment was rude.
@@KarleneE I'm very religious , it just makes me sick when you get people saying things like the windows got fixed because of God , It makes the people on the fence think twice when they hear the whackos talking like that
@@kathleenoverton3263 Yeah God is great I know , But he doesn't interfere in some 1st world people's windows , When people are dying of cancer or starving too death in a 3rd world country.. I just get a little annoyed because my cousin acts like she is blessed and God watches over her of all people , But not the people like I said above
Thumbs up to home Depot that was quite a thing they done
YES indeed! Thank you so very much to Home Depot for the blessings you gave to Good Simple Living Homestead, and God Bless you! I will definitely remember this when I /we need to buy something.
,
i imagine homedepot only did because this yt channel is so popular
With all the negative press big box stores have gotten over the rip off prices on lumber they need a little good press....
I love Home Depot!! The staff there have always so helpful to us and worked with whatever we've needed!! Many blessings to them and to you kids!! Love y'all ❤️🤗🙏🤗🙏❤️
Melissa I really needed to hear your closing remarks. We are buying our first home the. Got some not so good news that our close date is bushed back to the first or second week of September. That we needed to take care of one thing on our credit. I felt defeated in that moment. However; listening to you your remarks reminded me of all that I prayed for and where we are in this new journey in our lives. Thank you so much for helping me see all the little things are just that and God is Blessing us in the lesson he he teaching us. Thanks again🥰
I feel sorry that this mistake was made and so grateful that Home Depot stepped up to help. Putting it into perspective if this is the worst that happens you’re okay. Stay strong and know we are praying for you.
I enjoy the husband and wife partnership in this build. The respect is visible. Wish you guys long life together.
I used to manage 3 Lowe's stores and when a factory said that there is nothing they can do,it's already in production,I called BS. Talked to their boss and said I might have to get another factory to work with Lowe's and there was nothing I could do. Amazingly,things were able to be halted and crisis averted.
totally... my guess these windows were not done yet either.... they just dont build them that far ahead of delivery.... HD found this out... and did the restocking fee for their trouble (which is fair).... glad it worked out...
HD and Lowe’s have the big hammers to make manufacturers eat customers mistakes. It didn’t cost HD a thing.
Doesn't that just show you!
Glad they figured thing out at Home Depot but I call B.S. too. Sounds like a perfect way to charge the "Restocking Fee" and still sell the custom fit windows that haven't been made yet but... it still is better the. A full re-order of the windows.
@@dellasmith6583 actually the stores eat the costs because customer service. I used to do 7000 refund rebills on window jobs regardless of whether it was our fault or not because we just couldn't have local word of mouth of shit 7k dollar window jobs running around, it would kill business.
I AM HAVING AN INCREDIBLE TIME WATCHING THE WHOLE FAMILY BUILD YOUR HOME AND NEW LIFE. BLESSINGS TO ALL 🦅💗🤍💙🦅
Don’t let it get you down lovely lady, the best professionals get it wrong sometimes. You are doing a great job 👏
You just gave Home Depot their greatest commercial to date…God bless
I’m glad Home Depot is going to work with you on the windows.. that would have hurt.. I don’t think I’d ever get tired of the view y’all have.. so beautiful..
Remember ma’am u are a winner. Ur work ethic is remarkable. Don’t let anything get u down. U will be moving into ur new house before long!
Jeremy is still right, caramel. Melissa as you stood looking at the house at the end of the video, I look over your shoulder and feel a sense of awwww. It is so beautiful.
Is tomato...... ToeMato
(Yes),... "Thank You Home Depot".. For Being Understanding ! !
Amen! God is so good and He will never leave us no matter what mistakes we make! You guys have done an awesome job with your family and building your home.
What a police officer turned out to be! I love you guys.
So glad Home Depot did right by you! Mistakes happen and we are so hard on ourselves! Jeremy is an awesome supportive husband. You are blessed!
It’s always the right time to count your blessings! Thanks for demonstrating how to respond to troubles and setbacks.
Dear Father; when I remember when I prayed for what I have now. I Am So Blessed. 🙂
Thanks for helping me remember when...🌹
YAY HOME DEPOT❤👏👏🎉 Blessings from heaven. The shots of the mountains are so beautiful😤
Even those of us in the business for years makes mistakes like this…you guys are doing well, don’t beat yourself up….this channel fills my heart with the effort, the family and the love you all have for each other!
SWEEEET! Thanks you "THE HOME DEPOT" for helping this PRECIOUS HARD WORKING FAMILY!
God said “ask and you shall receive” Watching and rooting for u guys all the way from New Zealand ❤️
The Bible also says, if a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat. I think Melissa and Jeremy eat well.
@@wkjeom with lots of snacks too! Melissa can’t do without those. 😉
Watching and rooting from Fl. Lord please bless this hard working family!!! Praise you Jesus!!!Please bless them with a surprise!!!
@@themplar and how is your text related to building a house for a family?
Jesus said that. "Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto ye."
Congratulations on completing another big step!!!
So, I’m happy you counted your blessings, rather than dwelling on a mistake!
Humble….appreciate your candor Melissa 🥰 Love how Jeremy made it all ok by his encouragement in saying we knew there would be mistakes….it’s ok mama 💞 that’s love 🥲
Your hands down going to succeed! Can’t wait to see it completed & the happy satisfied looks on your faces! ☺️
If anyone ever says u guys r lucky to have such a beautiful home smack em one as luck had nothing to do with it. U guys have scrimped and saved, budgeted and worked ur butt's off for this.
Thank you for saying “remember when you prayed for what you have now” love that!
It's so nice that a big company like Home Depot acted like a neighborhood store. I'm really happy for you.
So glad your prayers are coming true! 🙏
I’m so very happy you guys are able to get those windows…in tears for you happy!! Two of the happiest, hardest working people I know in the vlog world!!
Yes, that view. You guys are getting so brown. You look beautiful. Thanks for the visit. Looks like smoke has cleared. I had it too. Hard to breathe. 🚒🥵💕🌲🦋🦋🦋🦋🙏 I hope you know how much we all love & support you. I got a little tear after this one. You guys are so blessed
The progress you have made is inspiring! 👏👏 Melissa, so sorry you were so stressed over the measuring mistake...mistakes happen and Home Depot was wonderful in their handling of a difficult situation!! Not to mention all the good press you give them!!🤣😃Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
They truly came through!! Thank you 😊
Love love love your out-tro and your fantastic attitude!!! Fabulous role models!
Oooh place looks nice 🙂 and the metal roof
Glad Home Depot is helping with the window problem. So wonderful how you both handled it so well and moved on, rather than someone throwing a fit! Congratulations on another step completed!
Good ole Home Depot..whew..what a save... Well everything is taped and ready for the next step!...l was gonna cry when you messed up..but good ole Jeremy was so cool about it..
For a house this big...& those big windows you need...professionals like for the roof. Prayers up to get you..more help. You live & learn... Loving your attitudes. Lol.
Yaaaaaaaaaay another episode!!! Ya'all are living the dream that I had for my family that never came to fruition. And my kids are all gone, spread to the wind. It really does fly by way too fast.
Congrats you have completed everything you needed done. ❤
Hey lovely people I so look forward to seeing your vlogs. Cheers me up no end!!,
So beautiful! Thank you for reminding me of what I had prayed for and to count the blessings I have now. ❤️
i think bc you where honest Home Depot stepped up, seems like a good relationship
Sweet!!! So happy Home Depot came through. Wow! What progress you two have made on your dream homestead. So happy to be able to watch your progress and be inspired to never give up on ones dreams. Blessings to you all and much Aloha! 💜🌻🌺🌻🌺🌄☀️🌄🍍🍷🍷🏘️
Jeremy heads up, the reason "they" use nail instead of screws is that "if" the load should shift..."nails bend and screws break". But with that one area on the gable end...no worries.
Melissa
So thankful Home Depot helped you with the window problem. Keep on trucking...you all are the best! You are my role model and I'm 68yrs old 🥰
"Remember when you prayed for what you have now?" Wow. That hit home as I start my 3rd month at a full time job I have been praying for the last few years.
The house is looking so beautiful. You guys are completely slaying this build. Michael and Sebastian [and the lift!] have been Godsent!
And Yay! for Home Depot.
"Remember when you prayed for what you have now?" This had me grateful and Al's made me get into prayer mode for the things I still desire. Thanks for sharing your journey and your lives.
Looks fantastic.
Finding out measurements were off is better know than if you were installing them. Glad home depot worked with ya. Cya next time.
Great work
Great work
Gary your house look big how much it cost. You said you only needed a small home for your family but isee like cost up house. Nevertheless I solute you can bought 20 arce of land what a big land you have.
God bless you and family leave for better life. Tq
Love…love…love!!!!! You guys are blessed!!! What a dream come true ❤️❤️❤️
The House is starting to take shape, slowly but surely.
Way to go Home Depot. Very good of you to go out of your way to help a customer that needs it.
Such Blessings…and Jeremy, I love how you supported her when clearly she felt so bad.❤️
Melissa, you are very blessed to have such an understanding, and supportive husband, he handled this situation with love and patience, Continued blessings, you both are blessed and are hard workers, the fruit of the spirit shows. :)
HUGE NO NO at 8:38 Jeremy! Never ever cross arm cut! That guard gets stuck for some reason the blade kicks back, BYE BYE ARM! Cheers from Canada 😁🇨🇦
I just saw that and it scared the daylights out of me.
I saw that as well, scared the liver out of me. When you are under the gun to meet a deadline, you’re tired accidents happen. Be safe! Your children need both parents!
Thank you for pointing that out I will keep that in mind
I noticed that too. Hopefully it was the first time and the last time!!!
@@ld5954 not the first time he's done that!!
Kudos to Home Depot! Awesome customer service! I am so glad that everything worked out! Looks amazing!❤️
So glad you got your window issue straightened out. I'm amazed at how far y'all have come on the house. I love your endings. Do you write those? They are beautiful!
I do, thank you 😊🙏
@@GoodSimpleLiving They are always so very calming and enlightening. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Your home is a blessing. Think about the future 30 years from now with this home you built and your kids and grandchildren running around.
Truly a gift from God. God bless you!
Maybe I'm a scaredy cat, when you guys are up in the air like that you should have some type of safety ropes in place to hold you and ladder. You guys are such nice people and have wonderful family. Would not want anything bad to happen. I enjoy your channel and your work and I look forward in seeing your farm to come.
So sorry for your daughter’s loss. Prayers for Jo & her family ❤️🙏🏻✝️🎈
You should get a flood light for when it’s dark out! When we built our home it’s the only way we finished on schedule! 👍🏽
So happy the window situation is being worked out! Congratulations on the zip being completed 👏 😊👍💕💕💕
I hope you guys are safe from all does nasty fire 🔥 I pray that you are ok love you all good bless you
Thank you, lots of smoke but safe
The house is moving along so well. It's definitely making a statement on your beautiful land.
I love how you always end your video with a positive and inspirational summary. ❤🌟
house looks incredible.
You are truly Blessed. WHAT a Beautiful Homestead you and your Family are Building.
They make building a massive home look like fun 😁
Totally
I'm so glad Home Depot worked with you on the windows! That house is looking amazing! 😊❤😊
Just remember,,it was an amateur that built the Ark,,, professional built the Titanic. I choked up listening to your ending,,,let me tell you,,, it hit home. Keep going guys xoxo Much love from Canada
You're .Building new memories. Your home is looking gorgeous
I thought that she was more like Hidey from "Tool Time". What a wonderful video. The scenery is great. Wow, the framing and sheathing is all done. What a massive accomplishment. I am so proud of you. If I had a bucket list, I would love to see your house in person. Thanks ever so much for letting so many of us live the dream with you. 😀😀😀😀😎
We loved how you summed up this video -this life is an incredible blessing!
Love the front so much 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
looks MUCH better than on paper!!!!!!
No truer words spoken than “ this life is a true blessing”👍🏻💪🏻👏🏻
You guy will be okay. Everything will fall into place. God will permit. Blessings to you, and your ohana. Aloha😇
Home Depot is AWESOME... they definitely did not have to do that. I always favored home depot!!!! They really always take care of their customers!
You kids are so good. Making mistakes and owning up to them and that Home Depot helping to correct the problem and you all making it all good. Glad you had that tool in helping you get the back wall done. Wonderful time of watching your journey. Keep on trucking on.
Wow! The fact that your Math skills have achieved all that framework in both homes----You're Awesome! Don't look at the little mistake, look at all that your Math and Jeremy's carpentry gifts have accomplished! "God makes all things work out for good to those who love Him."
So true!
God bless you all.🥰🙏💗
Good luck with Home Depot , I had issue years ago and they would do nothing since they were already signed for and at my house. TH-cam might be your savior if you mention them enough. No bad talking Love your videos good luck on the rest of the house.
Can’t wait to see it done.
I love watching you guys realize your dreams!!
I was truly shocked when your last words brought tears to my eyes, Melissa. It’s amazing how blessed my husband and I are and you reminded me of that. Cancer, aging, NOTHING can change the amazing blessing God has given us. Thank you and bless you and your family.
@@themplar yeah, my dad (91) and in good health, relatively, is struggling with that now that my Mum has passed (6yrs now). Says he wants to believe?? Especially since a few days before she died she said "heaven is so pretty". She was agnostic, but told me she's prayed every night before bed, to God or a higher power. ?? I guess we'll all find out in the end, eh? God bless you anyways. 🙂 I'm a believer, too many unexplained miracles in my life.
@@themplar interesting everyone's belief system. My sister is an atheist but has seen ghosts. Specifically a little girl in her old house she used to live in. Weird.
Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉
Usually Home Depot doesn't even send back the windows but sells them as a customer cancelled product on a clearance sale...the restocking fee makes up for the price difference. Win Win.
You know what makes this video so good...it’s Jeremy. We’ve all seen in the videos what a perfectionist he is, but... the encouragement, grace, and love he extends to Melissa on the measuring mistake was priceless. We can see how deflated she is and his response of basically don’t worry we got this shows what a true husband and man of God he is. Much respect Jeremy...much respect.
I am a lucky gal for sure
@@GoodSimpleLiving he’s lucky for sure as well. It is just seems so rare to see a husband “man-up” and lead nowadays.
I’ve been seeing that all month long, I’m living in a season that I’ve prayed for. It’s a great reminder especially when it’s going a way that you didn’t quite expect. You guys are doing a wonderful job on the house and I love your working relationship, the heated moments may not be on camera if there are any but love seeing your love shine through in all things.
Wow...I can't express in words how in awe I am of you folks! What an accomplishment to build your home virtually by yourself! Great job...you people are fenominal! Not to mention cute as can be! I'm loving watching your channel, living vicariously thru your hard work! Success is yours...you rock this world!!!!
Thank you Linda 😊💓
The build is coming along wonderfully. God Bless.
You just received a massive blessing, the wind or rain can't take that away from you. I'm glad things got sorted.
Look at you, Melissa, climbing around on those beams like a pro. Way to go. For the times you will need to get up high again I bet Jeremy can build a stand and securely attach it to the fork lift of his tractor. I love how you accept challenges and always remember this allows you to feel the exhilaration of victory. A great example for your children.
Your sentiments at the end was beautiful, and the view from your 'office's every day is stunning, you live in a beautiful place surrounded by your loved ones. I'd say you're very blessed.
Melissa found the perfect solution to soothe a bad day, Malley’s chocolates! I’m from Cleveland where they are made and it’s what we use to get over the rough days! Our son and daughter-in-law in Flagstaff, AZ always ask us to bring or send them some too!
Thank God you have had no injuries.!
We tend to beat ourselves up over mistakes, but at the end of the day our blessings far outweigh our failures. Melissa, just eat the WHOLE box of chocolates :-).
Oh I did
Omg my grandma used to do that but I didn’t care cause her germs where perfect like her.. but I learned the trick .. but I guess my germs never bothered my kidding cause they got to all my favorites..
@@FlamingBasketballClub Nah, correcting each other is just part of the fun when they are working so hard for their home.
@@GoodSimpleLiving except for the lemon one 😜
Congratulations on finishing the sheeting and taping! 😃 You guys have done an awesome job. Very glad to hear Home Depot came through for you in the windows too. Excited to continue to watch your house come together. 😃👍🏼
Omg, I would have spit out the lemon one too. Sorry about the window worries, glad it worked out. Take care, thanks for sharing your journey.
Oh no! When I read the thumbnail, my heart sank for you. So glad it all worked out. Love ya'll.
The massive amount of wood in your house is mind blowing
With over 271,000 subscribers, plus all the sponsor income, I suppose that cost isn't an issue........ It'll be interesting to see a breakdown of cost at the end! One suspects that it won't be the sort of investment any 'normal' person could afford to make......... So, they are blessed to be able to do it....
What an awesome job you two have done on building your homes!! You have Blessed and encouraged many of us with sharing your journey,, and I thank you for that!!
May many more Blessings fill your life!!
