Thank you everyone for the thoughtful messages - we made it through hurricane Fiona. We are doing well and we will share more about our experience with the storm next week. We hope everyone who was impacted by the storm is safe and sound 💛
Thankyou for the message letting us all know you guys survived Fiona. I was sending lots of white light! And prayers. My heart goes out to all the Canadians that got hit by the terrible storm. Aren't you guys happy you don't have to depend on the grid. Smart Vanwives!😎🏜❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🌈🌈🌈🌈🏳️🌈
I noticed that you have finnish sauna stove, Harvia, good choice! You might consider to purchase metallic Harvia watertank that can be attached to stove and you get warm water at the same time you heat up the sauna. Then you just mix cold and warm water in bucket and wash yourself after ”löyly”, which is special finnish word for the lovely heat and moist that you enjoy in sauna. That`s how it is done here in Finland!
The sauna is a nationell treasure in Finland, but the sauna is also importent in Sweden. Here we have enjoyed the sauna since the middle ages. The sauna is a part of our history. I love you girls! A million hugs and love from Sweden.
Make sure you peel and eat an orange in the sauna, that is the best ever.. The essential oils from the peals and the juicy taste from the orange is just heaven when in a sauna or *bastu* as we say it over here in Sweden. You did good as per usual, and i hope your homestead is ok after Fiona. Take care girls! See you sunday! 💛
You certainly know how to make time go quickly, when Crystal said “see you next Sunday”, I thought the video can't be over all ready. It shows how much joy you give to others. You two could almost build anything you wanted too. Stay fit both of you, I can't see that being a problem, with a Hot Tub and Sauna. Love from Mike. ❤
So glad you are all safe and hoping all you’re families and friends and Porter…are as well safe from Fiona! Another great project done and moving you into having an amazing winter wonderland!💜💖💝🌈💕🐾💜🐾
Every week I'm more and more impressed with you two. I'm glad the hurricane didn't impact you. And even though I just had breakfast, watching you make wood fired pizza made me hungry again.
Crystal and Jaz, You Ladies ROCKED THIS BUILD! So incredibly Proud and Happy for you both. Enjoy Ladies, you totally deserve it. BLESSINGS and LOVE to you and Bella and Izzy😘
First we are so glad that you are safe. Secondly, you girls work your asses off and deserve all the wonderfulness that you have around you. Stay safe and only good blessings.
You gals prove that , even with little construction experience to start, with the willingness to do and no fear of failure, is all it takes to get things done and done well to boot. Next thing you know anything is possible. Was worried about Fiona and how the folks in Nova Scotia will weather the storm. Glad you two are safe and sound. Can't wait to see the new landing strip for the planes to come in bringing friends and family to fill up the sauna!. Winter is coming and having these critical things done will make it so much better and enjoyable. Keep at it you two!
Wow Deane thank you for all your positive comments- We are so happy to have you in our community. We hope we are able to encourage others to try news things… Our thoughts are with our fellow Maritimers💛💛
You girls really live up to the phrase, "The best man for the job is a woman." You girls are amazing! Every week you take on a new project and you absolutely blow us away. I cannot believe the talent you guys have. The best part is that you are not afraid to try anything. I love your property, your sweet dogs and all the adventures you share as a couple. So refreshing to watch you guys.
We're happy and releaved to see that you all are safe and sound!! Now it's our turn, we have to get ready for Hurricane Ian that is going to hit just north of us. We have our hurricane supplies and wait for landfall. Please take care and look forward into your next video next Sunday...Sending love from Florida...Kelly n Scott
Another great job building the sauna. Thanks for letting us know you survived hurricane Fiona. When I saw the path of the storm heading for you my first thoughts were hoping you would stay safe. As the many here who spend our Sunday's watching your vlog, we come to think of you as our 2nd family, or at least I do. It could be I am just selfish as I want to spend more Sundays with you.
Glad to see you guys made it through Fiona! Do you girls plan to do a video in the future breaking down the cost of all of these projects? I enjoy watching and it motivates me to start taking steps towards the development of my own homestead, but I think no one talks about how expensive it can be to actually launch projects like this. I’m sure many of us would greatly appreciate a break down of base costs and tips for how we all can save money going into our own projects!
I advise you getaalarm clock or timer, too long in there and you will make yourself really sick. worst dehydration I ever had was from a hot tub . Made me so uneasy I sold it . Every time I get in real hot water i get that sick feeling again.
Yeah, this channel lost me awhile ago. Off-grid living is not this. The amount of money that is going into developing this remote castle-like property is not realistic for any working class or "regular" person. It doesn't embody the spirit of what it means to be simple or budget-conscience in anyway. I highly doubt they will release any of the financial aspects of this because they have much more money than most people have. I really like these ladies and I don't mean ill-will at all here. It's great they are living their "best lives" and all that, but it isn't something that brings me any kind of joy or guidance anymore. I
@@forestwizard1483 If the girls are able to finance all these wonderful projects using their own resources its fine by me. If by leveraging their popularity on You tube and getting sponsors kudos to them. Sponsors must decide that its worth their while to help the girls that is their decision. To me it shows the girls are smart to go this way. None of the advertising they do goes against their ethics of living a sustainable lifestyle and doing their bit to save the planet. It demonstrates to me that you can live the way you want off grid with a lot of hard work and a lot of smart gumption. Not only that their statistics show it's a very popular topic and you my friend are very much in the minority.
Oh Man!! This sauna will be so good this winter, especially on those times where you go days without sun.. The heat and therapeutic benefits will aid you both so well. What a great build you guys!!! Don't forget to supplement with D3 this winter...See y'all next Sunday!!
Love it 😍 Two ideas 💡 1) create a flat area at the back or side, free from sharp rocks or bush. Then when it snows and you enjoy the sauna, you have an area which you can jump and roll into in the winter. 2) grow some herbs and plants to make a sauna beat stick Glad your both ok with your the storm. 🥰 Xx
You both are incredible! The sauna looks wonderful. A tip: we always sit on towels so that the sweat does not leave ugly stains. If you want to use the sauna also with friends, then it is also more nice for them.
Glad all four of you are doing well 🌬 You are both incredible ladies, keep that drive and positivity going. You are making magic memories and the most amazing home 😊
That looks so amazing. Wood-fired sauna, wood-fired hot tub, wood-fired pizza oven, wood-fired home... You're going to be hauling a lot of firewood but it's worth it to be off-grid! Have a safe week!
So happy to here that you made it through Fiona. I’ve been glued to the news concerned about all my friends down east. Great job on the sauna build, your “Spa in the Woods” is fabulous! Have a great week!
So glad you guys are ok! I was concerned with all the trees around your structures and the greenhouse. The sauna looks amazing and cozy. Excellent job girls. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
Well, you ladies are creating an amazing retreat in that wonderful location you have there. !!!!!! So glad to hear you made it through Fiona. When I heard about it on the news here, my thoughts immediately turned to your piece of paradise.....Take care and stay safe.
Having a big bucket of cold lake water near the door with a cloth for bathing is literally the best feeling with an off-grid sauna. I experienced that at Lure of the North (Northern Ontario) and I daydream about their sauna all the time. Ha. Love you girls. Thanks for sharing your adorable lives with us! So inspiring always! (JUST last week we purchased lakefront land on Cape Breton Island -- Cabot Trail Grand Étang! Moving from SW ON next fall). I've been really following along with your projects and ive noted this sauna may be on our 'must have' list. ❤🇨🇦💪 hugs! Glad to see you're okay after Fiona!
AMAZING!!! You are both so inspiring and fun to watch!! Is there anything you can’t conquer?! Great role models for all! I’m thinking Tal and Mads should take on a sauna build at our cottage! 😊
You ladies ROCK! Being of Finnish decent, born n raised in the UP of Michigan I understand why you are obsessed with the sauna. FYI, it is a Finnish tradition, that when building a new home/dwelling, they build the sauna 1st because in the cold winter they have a warm place to keep warm during the Finnish winters and continue to build the house. Glad you weren't affected by the hurricane. Thought of you when I saw it was headed your way. Looking forward to every episode.
So glad to hear that you are OK. I was holding my breath to hear some news on how you were. Now I can finally EXHALE……. 🙂…. Now just waiting to hear how Tyler and Tod are….. Just love what you have done thus far at your property. You ladies are AMAZING, I just can’t wait till every Sunday rolls around so I can see your progress. Way to go girls! 💕🌹
Good job on the Sauna and happy to hear you guys survive that storm I know I’ve been monitoring that over here where I am with my phones are down in the Maritimes as well but you’re all home safe keep up the wonderful great job you’re doing you are strong Nova Scotia and everyone who else who lives in maritime.
Good morning Ladies. Sooo very thankful you made it safe through the storm and only cleanup needed. Good energy and prayers surrounded you. Love the sauna!!! Yay for Crystal on a ladder!! See you next week!! 💛💛🐾🐾
You girls are such an inspiration to watch. I love Sundays and seeing what kind of projects you present to us. Yay for a sauna!! Nothing beats a relaxing sweat session. That'll be the best come winter!! ❄️ Happy sunday and have a great week! See next Sunday! ✨🍂🤍
Wow! Talk about having your own luxury spa in the forest! It's like a Disney movie come to life, except with 2 beautiful heroines! So relieved to hear that y'all made it through the storm, safe and sound! I hope the bears didn't get too spooked by the high winds and heavy rain. 🐾 Just think... because of another amazing Summer of incredible productivity, y'all are gonna have years and years of enjoyment from your green house, hot tub, sauna and of course that banger of a pizza oven. And we can't forget the awesome new garage/workshop/storage space! I can already sense the interior cabin reno series about to begin. I just know that it's gonna be glorious when y'all are finished with it! I'm already envisioning a stunning woodland holiday this year! Much love from the Adirondacks! 💛💛🐾🐾 See y'all next Sunday!
That is an awesome addition to your little piece of tranquility in the woods , love the way you have transformed it from the frst time you looked it over !
Hello Gloria, yes we are well. Next week we will share our experiences with Hurricane Fiona. Our thoughts are with our fellow Maritimers. See you next Sunday 💛🐾
You two are so fun to watch ! such a great team ! Love your building and figuring things out together . The sauna is my favorite to use!! You made this look so easy to put together!! Thank for sharing ,See ya next Sunday
Soooo happy to see you posting today!! Watching you tackle each project is the most satisfying feeling because there is always no doubt it will be perfection and beautiful! Have a fantastic week!!
Beautiful sauna, I can imagine the smell of the cedar wood. I envy your abilities to just get it done! You two have created a wonderland in the woods! I love it! 🥰😎
Ok your pair - I have so much respect for what you have done and what you do. My wife and I have renovated 4 properties, raised and educated 2 children and worked full time. We live in the country (now). We have chickens, Alpacas and Klaus (our German Shepherd) - who protects us from fallen branches, leaves that blow by and our chickens who wander past his personal territory. Watching you each week reinvigorates every part of how and why we do this. Australia :)
Hello! This winter you can do what we in Scandinavia do in the winter, namely roll yourself in the snow when you have been in the sauna and then go back in and enjoy more
wow, I have been watching you young ladies for quite a while (before you ever got the cabin) I am amazed at how much work you two have done and do every week. And I understand what it takes to try and film and edit all this as well. Great job on everything. Looks like you are building a Resort there. El Resort de Vanwives. Would love to visit some day! :-)
1:16 that’s actually not quite level. Y’all do a great job on everything and I love the channel. But, when it comes to leveling something, the bubble really does have to be perfectly in the center. If it’s touching one of the lines, or is even a smidge over, it can lead to your project being not level by several inches. Just a friendly tip. In most small projects, it’s not a big deal. But just keep it in mind for larger projects.
Wow! You guys are amazing! Your land looks awesome and makes me want to sell in Toronto and move to the Woods in Nova Scotia. Glad that you made it through Fiona. 😊 Keep up the good work. You're inspiring me.
I just came across your TH-cam channel , you guys are amazing . You settled in the best part of Canada 🇨🇦 the maritime province of Nova Scotia. You have done such a great job in making the land and the cabin a great homestead for yourselves. Wishing you all the best with the next project 😊
So glad you're all safe! Weird question maybe, but is this the same sauna as Tyler & Todd have? Do you order at the same time to get discounts? That would be so cool!! Definitely making me want to move to Canada 😅
@@Vanwives Ahh .... good to see you answer a question - so this is definitely looking like you guys get paid to promote these items. That’s all cool - but would it not be more fun to do your own thing ... it all gets a bit repetitious 🤔
Hi ladies, I hope "Fiona" treated you gently and you didn't get rolled around in your lovely new Sauna. Here in NB we had torrential rain, no trees down but millions of leaves down green one as well as those that had turned already. I was amazed at how quickly the Sauna went together, you guys made it look easy as per usual, I'm beginning to realise how efficient you really are. What's next the Solar Array? Stay safe and as nice as you are. Lots of love from your Maritime Neighbour XX
Thank you Ralph , we are Well. In our next video we will share some of our experiences with hurricane Fiona. We are happy that you are okay as well. Our thoughts are with all our Fellow Maritimers. Thank you for all your kind words, Ralph. See you next Sunday💛🐾
Hi! Greetings from Finland - home of sauna. I am so stoked you have your own sauna. Did you know that sauna is a Finnish word? Even your sauna stove is a Finnish brand Harvia, great quality stoves👍. Sauna is the best for relaxation among other things, overall health, sleep, skin etc. And the wood burning ones are the best. We've got three saunas😊. Sauna is heaven! Good for your body and soul. Enjoy your sauna. I've enjoyed your videos, thank you!🙏 Wishing you all the best❤️
My goodness - you guys are literally recreating Tyler & Todd’s small holding 😅💖 Maybe I missed it but I hope you’re giving some credit to all of their amazing content, they’ve clearly inspired you!
So glad to hear you survived Fiona! You were the first thing I thought about when I learned she was impacting Nova Scotia. Your sauna is lovely! You’re building up such an amazing little compound with so much fun stuff!! I can’t wait to see what’s next. By the way I love your trampoline! Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re crushing it, ladies!!! 😅
Wow, when Jaz says “ we will be find unless there is a gust of wind” my heart sank knowing a hurricane was heading your way! So happy your both ok and your sauna was complete before Fiona. Arrived. I am in Florida SW wondering if Ian will come our way on Thursday, the European model says directly toward us in Venice..🦋🦋🦋all will be ok though .
I can picture the two of you trudging through the snow this winter on your way to a relaxing sauna and hot tub. You are creating and living a wonderful life.
Hey Shelley, We are looking forward to trudging through the snow, to get to our hot tub, sauna and greenhouse.: love the 4 seasons.. Thank you for tuning in. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
that looks like a really well-designed sauna, I like the fact it comes in kit form with everything you need I'm impressed with everything you've done so far well done take care love BRIAN UK
Loved this, ladies. ❤️ Was I the only one who cringed at the dirty floor in that sauna to sweep or vacuum first before use? And I don't recall a trampoline episode. You ladies are rockin' that property. 🙌
Ladies glad you guys are ok and the pups , plus your homestead stud up to what got thrown at it prays are with the community you live in. Kev from across the big pond.
Thank you everyone for the thoughtful messages - we made it through hurricane Fiona. We are doing well and we will share more about our experience with the storm next week. We hope everyone who was impacted by the storm is safe and sound 💛
So excited to watch!!! Hope you two have a fabulous week :)
So happy to see you 💓 💗 ❤
Thank you for the update! I was watching the weather with you guys in mind all Fri and Sat.! Phew😅 💛
So glad to hear that you guys are okay.. my thoughts and prayers were with you guys through this storm.
Thankyou for the message letting us all know you guys survived Fiona. I was sending lots of white light! And prayers. My heart goes out to all the Canadians that got hit by the terrible storm. Aren't you guys happy you don't have to depend on the grid. Smart Vanwives!😎🏜❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🌈🌈🌈🌈🏳️🌈
I noticed that you have finnish sauna stove, Harvia, good choice! You might consider to purchase metallic Harvia watertank that can be attached to stove and you get warm water at the same time you heat up the sauna. Then you just mix cold and warm water in bucket and wash yourself after ”löyly”, which is special finnish word for the lovely heat and moist that you enjoy in sauna. That`s how it is done here in Finland!
The sauna is a nationell treasure in Finland, but the sauna is also importent in Sweden. Here we have enjoyed the sauna since the middle ages. The sauna is a part of our history.
I love you girls!
A million hugs and love from Sweden.
I have never been more impressed by anyone, ever! You ladies are amazing! I’m so happy to hear that you made it through the storm ok!
Jason! Thank you for the love here! Happy Sunday 💛
Make sure you peel and eat an orange in the sauna, that is the best ever.. The essential oils from the peals and the juicy taste from the orange is just heaven when in a sauna or *bastu* as we say it over here in Sweden. You did good as per usual, and i hope your homestead is ok after Fiona. Take care girls! See you sunday! 💛
Hello everyone who watched the video, I wish you good health, best regards from Vietnam
You certainly know how to make time go quickly, when Crystal said “see you next Sunday”, I thought the video can't be over all ready. It shows how much joy you give to others.
You two could almost build anything you wanted too.
Stay fit both of you, I can't see that being a problem, with a Hot Tub and Sauna.
Love from Mike. ❤
Ahhh 💛 happy we can bring joy to you xx & all the wood lifting 😂 thanks Mike, much love
as a finnish person, this makes me so happy 😍
So glad you are all safe and hoping all you’re families and friends and Porter…are as well safe from Fiona! Another great project done and moving you into having an amazing winter wonderland!💜💖💝🌈💕🐾💜🐾
Love you kids.
I have a smile a yard wide watching you do all the things that make life worth living.
👆Text me💬above to receive reward,thanks for watching🤗
Aww Jennifer we love you too. So happy we could make you smile. See you next Sunday!💛💛
Every week I'm more and more impressed with you two. I'm glad the hurricane didn't impact you.
And even though I just had breakfast, watching you make wood fired pizza made me hungry again.
Awesome build.. Love how Jaz looks like she is resting her head on roof of the house (20:00), very sweet. Glad you made it through the storm.
Hey Terri thanks for noticing the hidden details…happy you are part of our community 💛🐾
Crystal and Jaz, You Ladies ROCKED THIS BUILD! So incredibly Proud and Happy for you both. Enjoy Ladies, you totally deserve it. BLESSINGS and LOVE to you and Bella and Izzy😘
Hey Stacy. Thanks for all the love. We love you right back. See you next Sunday.💛🐾

That looks so amazing. Wood-fired sauna, wood-fired hot tub, wood-fired pizza oven, wood-fired home... You're going to be hauling a lot of firewood but it's worth it to be off-grid! Have a safe week!
Another brilliant video, I am so happy that you have survived the hurricane, you two + two and amazing!
Sauna life is a huge game changer! Can’t wait for your winter adventures with this new addition 😮
YES 😍 Winter will be magic!
Happy Sunday Crystal and Jaz so glad you all are safe in the aftermath of hurricane Fiona.
Great job!! So glad you all made it safe from the storm!! 💛💛💛💛

You two are awesome! I can’t think of anything you couldn’t build! That sauna is going to feel great on cold winter days. Enjoy🙏🏼
Thank you Tomás 💛 We can’t wait to frolick to the sauna mid winter!! See you Sunday
That is an awesome addition to your little piece of tranquility in the woods , love the way you have transformed it from the frst time you looked it over !
Oh Richard it seems so long ago but it was just over a year now. Thanks for your support. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
Glad that everyone is ok & that you all made it through the storm. Love the sauna🎇🎇

I have never been more impressed by anyone, ever! Glad to see you guys made it through Fiona!
Thanks Terri 💛
Ok your pair - I have so much respect for what you have done and what you do. My wife and I have renovated 4 properties, raised and educated 2 children and worked full time. We live in the country (now). We have chickens, Alpacas and Klaus (our German Shepherd) - who protects us from fallen branches, leaves that blow by and our chickens who wander past his personal territory. Watching you each week reinvigorates every part of how and why we do this. Australia :)
Hi Tony, wow, you and your family are and inspiration to us. Hats off to you.
We are happy to have you as part of our community!💛🐾
You had a watch dog outside, so sweet!! Love the sauna it’s so pretty! You girls are always up to something. Impressive! Have a good week!
Hahaha isn’t she so sweet!!! Bella is always there. Thank you Stacy, we also think the sauna is so pretty 😍
Glad to hear you are doing well after the storm. Happy Sunday everybody!
Hello Dawn.
Thank you, for thinking of us. We will share more about Hurricane Fiona on next weeks video. Happy Sunday to you!💛💛
That was so awesome!! The sauna looks like it’s so relaxing, congrats!’ 🎉
It’s truly so relaxing! Thank you so much for watching the sauna come together 💛
What an incredible episode! You two are amazing in every way. Thank you for the weekly reminder that life is beautiful.
You ladies need to be on The Amazing Race 🇨🇦 Canada.
Hello!
This winter you can do what we in Scandinavia do in the winter, namely roll yourself in the snow when you have been in the sauna and then go back in and enjoy more
wow, I have been watching you young ladies for quite a while (before you ever got the cabin) I am amazed at how much work you two have done and do every week. And I understand what it takes to try and film and edit all this as well. Great job on everything. Looks like you are building a Resort there. El Resort de Vanwives. Would love to visit some day! :-)
Living the life!! Building your own paradise oasis in the forest. 🤞that all your projects survived Fiona’s winds. So relieved you 4 are ok!🌻💛🌻
1:16 that’s actually not quite level. Y’all do a great job on everything and I love the channel. But, when it comes to leveling something, the bubble really does have to be perfectly in the center. If it’s touching one of the lines, or is even a smidge over, it can lead to your project being not level by several inches. Just a friendly tip. In most small projects, it’s not a big deal. But just keep it in mind for larger projects.
Happy to hear, you made it safely through what is certainly a harrowing experience! Hurricanes are no joke!
Wow! You guys are amazing! Your land looks awesome and makes me want to sell in Toronto and move to the Woods in Nova Scotia. Glad that you made it through Fiona. 😊 Keep up the good work. You're inspiring me.
Hey David.. happy to inspire you..
The woods are a magical place. Thanks for tuning in.💛🐾
I just came across your TH-cam channel , you guys are amazing . You settled in the best part of Canada 🇨🇦 the maritime province of Nova Scotia. You have done such a great job in making the land and the cabin a great homestead for yourselves. Wishing you all the best with the next project 😊
Watching you two is like watching Tyler&Todd on a 6 week delay. Seriously though it's kinda fun to see the different methods and perspectives.
Well done ladies! You have some great R&R spots now - a hot tub and a sauna! Winter will be a lot more fun now , no doubt !
👆Text me💬above to receive reward,thanks for watching🤗
Another Tyler and Todd project, let’s see how you girls do it. Your places are going to be twins .
Riiiight!!! Like every project the guys have completed! Lol .... wish they’d give them a mention though 😄💜
So glad you ladies are ok! Take care and see you next week!
So glad you're all safe! Weird question maybe, but is this the same sauna as Tyler & Todd have? Do you order at the same time to get discounts? That would be so cool!! Definitely making me want to move to Canada 😅
Yes!! Slightly different but same company - Backcountry Recreation. We sometimes order things together to save shipping 💛
@@Vanwives Ahh .... good to see you answer a question - so this is definitely looking like you guys get paid to promote these items.
That’s all cool - but would it not be more fun to do your own thing ... it all gets a bit repetitious 🤔
Happy to know you are safe and well. All my love and prayers to Nova Scotia from the UK
Hey Lila Sun, thank you for the love. We appreciate you. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
Hi ladies, I hope "Fiona" treated you gently and you didn't get rolled around in your lovely new Sauna.
Here in NB we had torrential rain, no trees down but millions of leaves down green one as well as those that had turned already. I was amazed at how quickly the Sauna went together, you guys made it look easy as per usual, I'm beginning to realise how efficient you really are. What's next the Solar Array?
Stay safe and as nice as you are.
Lots of love from your Maritime Neighbour XX
Thank you Ralph , we are Well.
In our next video we will share some of our experiences with hurricane Fiona. We are happy that you are okay as well. Our thoughts are with all our Fellow Maritimers.
Thank you for all your kind words, Ralph. See you next Sunday💛🐾
Hi! Greetings from Finland - home of sauna. I am so stoked you have your own sauna. Did you know that sauna is a Finnish word? Even your sauna stove is a Finnish brand Harvia, great quality stoves👍. Sauna is the best for relaxation among other things, overall health, sleep, skin etc. And the wood burning ones are the best. We've got three saunas😊. Sauna is heaven! Good for your body and soul. Enjoy your sauna. I've enjoyed your videos, thank you!🙏 Wishing you all the best❤️
My goodness - you guys are literally recreating Tyler & Todd’s small holding 😅💖 Maybe I missed it but I hope you’re giving some credit to all of their amazing content, they’ve clearly inspired you!
What a inspiering couple, amazing funny and hard working with a smile all the time, enjoy😀👍🍾🥂🙏
So glad to hear you survived Fiona! You were the first thing I thought about when I learned she was impacting Nova Scotia. Your sauna is lovely! You’re building up such an amazing little compound with so much fun stuff!! I can’t wait to see what’s next. By the way I love your trampoline! Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re crushing it, ladies!!! 😅
I think it was just a big wind storm that went through. I wonder if their outbuildings faired ok with all those trees around.
Hello Carina, yes we are well. We will share our experience with Hurricane Fiona on the next video. Our thoughts are with our fellow Maritimers.💛💛
Wow, when Jaz says “ we will be find unless there is a gust of wind” my heart sank knowing a hurricane was heading your way! So happy your both ok and your sauna was complete before Fiona. Arrived. I am in Florida SW wondering if Ian will come our way on Thursday, the European model says directly toward us in Venice..🦋🦋🦋all will be ok though .
The sauna is awesome! Glad you faired decent in the storm. Hopefully all your local friends did as well!
I can picture the two of you trudging through the snow this winter on your way to a relaxing sauna and hot tub. You are creating and living a wonderful life.
Maybe not trudging through the snow, more like dashing. 😀
Hey Shelley, We are looking forward to trudging through the snow, to get to our hot tub, sauna and greenhouse.: love the 4 seasons.. Thank you for tuning in. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
@@billbabcock1833 I’m laughing. When you live in a Canadian snow belt region, it’s more of a trudge than a dash. 🤣🤣😂
I suppose that's true. I live in Colorado and when it comes to snowfall I'm sure you win. 😀
@@billbabcock1833 okay, now I am really laughing. We might be a tie, but I still can’t “dash through” the snow.
that looks like a really well-designed sauna, I like the fact it comes in kit form with everything you need I'm impressed with everything you've done so far well done take care love BRIAN UK
Very glad you both survived that storm along with your two beautiful puppies. Extra hugs for all of you. Richard and Val.
Thank you xx we documented it all
Glad to hear you 4 made it thru fiona ok. You guys did a fantastic job on the sauna. Can't wait to see next week video.
Wowza....wood fired everything...hot tub, sauna and pizza! Cheers Gals!
Loved this, ladies. ❤️ Was I the only one who cringed at the dirty floor in that sauna to sweep or vacuum first before use? And I don't recall a trampoline episode. You ladies are rockin' that property. 🙌
Enchanting ladies!! Enjoy! 🦅✨🤍
yalls videos bring me so much comfort
You guys are building the perfect Oasis, great job
You have turned your lot into an amazing oasis! I'm glad you are both safe from the storm! Looking forward to next week 💛💛
Good Morning Mary. We had a dream and we are building that dream. See you next Sunday.💛🐾
Ladies glad you guys are ok and the pups , plus your homestead stud up to what got thrown at it prays are with the community you live in. Kev from across the big pond.
You girls are killing it! I would never want to leave your cabin or land. It’s looking so great
Hey Nikola, thank you for the love. See you next Sunday.💛❤️
