For everything yall have done it takes a crew of builders to accomplish! Yall are gittin it and gittin it again!! Heck I'd love to see your accomplished work in person!!
I watched on TV but came to computer to comment. You two are still a young couple and your family is young. You have many happy years ahead. When you look back even a year from now you will be amazed at all you have accomplished! I am so proud of you as if you were my own family, because I have offspring going through very similar things as you. Enjoy your Christmas celebration with all of your loved ones! 🔔🧨🎄❤
I just love the expression "whenned to death"! 🤣Too bad that is the way people make you feel, but I love that you can look upon it with such high spirits.
I thought you’ll had a three to five year plan. What’s up for next year? My bet is the mud room doesn’t get finished being closed in until the end of January.
When we landed on the 41.36, Gary said it's a five year goal to be finished with the home and homestead. We are 3 yrs in. Our home is more than half done and our homestead is providing. I'd call that a win so far. If it isn't until end of January, then It is what it is. All I know if from the top down - it will be dry before Christmas. Bet 😎🤗
I’m so proud of what you’ve gotten done! Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and, it wasn’t built by Gary. LOL! His perfectionism will provide a home for future generations. So, do what you can, when you can, and keep your eye on the prize. MERRY CHRISTMAS! ❤️🎄❤️
hi there slr. i went back and was looking at the date on the playlist on slr and if my math is right then you have in about 3 years finish the outside structure (minus the the steel roof ) off your house if you manage to put on the roof on the mud room before 2025. from almost not making it up to your property whit the caravan becasue it was so rough terrain to have a big land cleared and the outside structure off your house done in almost 3 years, that is something if you ask me. i hope you have a great holiday and have a happy christmas :)
You are both winners. That does not mean that everything you do works the first time or that adjustments never have to be made. Being a winner means that you stick with it and get the job done. That is what you and Gary both do.
Hire with warranty that way you can concentrate on the siding and all the interior work that is going to be finish work and very time consuming for all the nice finishes
Hire somebody who moved down from up north, if there's someone like that available. Up here, where snow is measured in feet and ice is a regular occurrence, good roofing is a must.
Looking great!!! I love watching you two working and seeing the finished results. Merry Christmas to all of you, give the children a special hug from this viewer for Christmas.
You two sound tired, which means you had a productive day. You do NOT need to apologize for your work schedule! You have a family, and that always comes first. You have made AMAZING progress in a short time since I watched you all leave AZ. Have a Merry Christmas.
You two are absolute wonders. Cannot believe how much you have done. Wow. Please save some energy for a bit of fun with the family over Christmas. Don’t burn yourself out. Wishing you all a Very Happy Christmas and may all your dreams come true in the new year..❤❤❤❤❤❤God Bless You all.
Hey Mel and Gary, the roof will happen when your time is right. On the bracing, that’s what that Zip board will give you plenty of. Take care and you don’t need to justify anything with us, we are long for the ride, sharing your journey. See you on your next. AND you are not losers in any way. Savior every moment and enjoy that feeling of relief that you have taken this path. It’s challenging but you really grow and so does your relationship when you work through those challenges together.
Good Morning, (Afternoon). Nice that you got that up. You two are killing it, concerning your weather and all. I hope y'all have an awesome Christmas with your family, Mel be sure to tell Charlene Merry Christmas! I haven't seen her much this year. Enjoy your time with everyone!
you guys are the bomb. i love how you guys take your time, do it all on your time. And that will show in the end . already looking like a million bucks . Love you guys. keep up the awesome work.
Hooray, a step closer. You both are rocking it. I applaud you both. Its not easy building a house. People wont ever understand how physically & mentally hard it is. Great job. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Rome was not built in a day. You both are rock stars in our eyes. You have come so far and you are warm and toasty. I could never ask you when because if it had been my husband and I we would still be on row 2 or 3 of the blocks. Keep up the great work and love those kids. You really are well rounded as a family. ❤️❤️❤️
You may need to do the front design soon and the overhang. They can make the trim you're going to need. I know most of it you can buy. But on the back porch your probably going to need some custom work done. The valley you can figure out too. utube can teach alot. There's so much to do. Just my opinion,metal can be dangerous to work with. Gary did the goat house. With the warranty and the very much importance of the roof being waterproof. I personally have an opinion on it and even though I was a sheet metal worker and could do it myself. The warranty and insurance would make my decision toward someone else doing it a real possibility. Check with a insurance company if it makes a difference. I don't know.
Just a thought, did you get the verandah floor done at the back? We can see the railings are not done. However, the work thus far has been amazing! Have a Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year. (UK)
Your build is really coming along. Make sure you all enjoy the Christmas season because you can build later. Time flies. Enjoy your family. Making memories is very important. Love you all. Have a Merry Christmas🎄. Take care from Cape Cod❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yall are absolutely doing amazing ❤ Goals are wonderful to have and your right it dont make you a failure if you don't meet that main goal it matters that your making the progress to get to it. Like David says it's a game plan not a set plan!!! ❤😂 Luv you guys😊
Enjoy your Christmas with family. I know you want to push. You will get there. I am a little ocd and the words on zip board upside down. EEEEk LOL You guys are doing great. If you can afford it let professionals do the roof so they are responsible if there's a failure. You guys have enough on your plate
You two are such hard workers love seeing you succeed. I know you want it done, but do what you can Step by step it will get done. Can't wait to see your sub facia. Hopefully you'll the zip board up soon to dry it in before it rains more and snow comes. It snowed over 2 inches in Illinois last night. Hope it hold off for you!! Keep doing you!! 💖❤️
What people don't realize is that building a home takes time. Unless you have builders, do it for you. For a family that has never done what you're doing , you've done a remarkable job. ❤
Hey put a wood stove in side the loung room up there it keep you warm while your working and make it go out the side and make sure you put a T peice at the bend at the bottom for a clean out makes it easy to clean out the pipes You guy's done a good job building this house and its nice all made by you Guy's amazing really debit free its a good felling we rent to old for a loan im 67 and no one will give me a loan
Gary, I need you to rub your arm on me so that I can have some of your math Juju and I can give you some of my geometry Juju. It's the only kind of math I can do other than standard adding/subtracting, multiplication. Lol. I love you both but like Mel, I am very visual.
You know you’re started on deck in winter 2024 I wonder how long is the Roof going to take I Would think to get community TH-camrs to help you guys out I hope so if it going take along time I can Roof you house 3 days am in my mid 50s and not that good heath i need no help I had a stork few years back I can put metal roof by myself no help and do it 3 days be done am just saying us older people giving you guys problems criticism you guys it’s because you guys move so slow and it’s dangerous Mel scared of heights ask somebody knows how Roof have him his buddies come and do it in 2 days it’s done over with
Why don’t you ask another man to help you !!! TH-cam does not have laws or rules that say that you cannot ask for help !!! This is why you are doing slow in getting anything done !!!! Are you purposely dragging this out as long as possible do you can have content.
Check your tone. We have done this whole thing together this far - and we will continue until the end. Why bother someone else to do our work for us when we are capable and the timeline is ours? How fast we go has nothing to do with TH-cam or needing content. We're actually doing great. If you disagree that's a YOU problem. What a dumb assumption. We are doing this for the first time so yes, it will take a while to learn and do what we learned to get it right. We literally have endless content. We are a lifestyle vlog channel, not just a "building" channel. But you know this. This is not the first time you've made those kinds of suggestions and implications.
,YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT. YOUR KIDS ARE WHAT IS IMPORTANT AND YOU ARE HANDLING THAT PERFECTLY. GOOD FOR YOU, EVERYTHING IN DUE TIME!!!
Looking good guys! Can’t wait to see the end result.
Merry Christmas!
For everything yall have done it takes a crew of builders to accomplish! Yall are gittin it and gittin it again!! Heck I'd love to see your accomplished work in person!!
Oh, you will definitely make your 5 year goal, probably in 4 years!!!😊🎉❤ Once again, Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 🤶 🎄 ❤️

Doesn't matter how long it's taken, it will get done. Life happens just go on doing what you need to do, just stay safe guys. Merry Christmas xx

Your hoodies help you blend right in with your siding sheets.
Both of you need to pat your backs for a job well done. Have a very Merry Christmas and we love you❤

You should do the roofing yourself, some company's do a crappy job.
Pretzel man, Pretzel man, he can do what scratchy can!!!😮😊😅
Inspirational ❤😊 You guys are GetnIt !!🎉
Suggestion for you, cover the rafters with a tarp at the end of the day to help protect the floor until you have the zip boards on and taped.
That's a great idea, we're going to give it a shot!
Hire with warranty that way you can concentrate on the siding and all the interior work that is going to be finish work and very time consuming for all the nice finishes
Hire somebody who moved down from up north, if there's someone like that available. Up here, where snow is measured in feet and ice is a regular occurrence, good roofing is a must.
Have you got any of the roof boards on the top of the mud room
Famouse quote to my hubby when he built.....If you built that ark, it would have sunk. ❤
Looking great!!! I love watching you two working and seeing the finished results. Merry Christmas to all of you, give the children a special hug from this viewer for Christmas.
Good morning Mel and Gary wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
You two sound tired, which means you had a productive day. You do NOT need to apologize for your work schedule! You have a family, and that always comes first. You have made AMAZING progress in a short time since I watched you all leave AZ. Have a Merry Christmas.
Good job on all you're getting done 👍 Have a great weekend 🙏🔥☃️
Can you buy your materials and have the company put it up so you can have that warranty?
I think the provider would also be the installer. We're considering all our options for sure 🤗🤗🤗
Here is hoping all the Zip Board got installed and taped! That is exciting progress! ❤❤
You two are absolute wonders. Cannot believe how much you have done. Wow. Please save some energy for a bit of fun with the family over Christmas. Don’t burn yourself out. Wishing you all a Very Happy Christmas and may all your dreams come true in the new year..❤❤❤❤❤❤God Bless You all.

That angle Gary isn’t 45 if you’re talking about the side cut, it’s the pitch of the roof 🤓

You could put some zippy board up

Merry Christmas guys!! Are you going to insulate the floors from underside?? Remember slow and steady wins the race. You 2 never cease to amaze me.
