Good luck with that bear, you may have to go to drastic measures….let’s hope not…Katie, you a beautiful, so take care of yourself….I don’t know if any other followers noticed, your demeanor, body language and narrations of video, totally changed for the better when Greg came home….I’m sure his did as well….true sign of soulmate!
I am 83 years old feeling good living on my daughters farm in Deland Fl. in my beautiful RV. I want you to know you guys mean so much to me. you have such an impact on so many people. LOVE YOU!!
Katie, I remember when you guys were getting rid of the bus you told us how in the beginning Greg kept asking you over and over to get on the bus, check out the bus, stay on the bus. Aren't you glad you got on the bus...and stayed? 😊 A beautiful life you've built together. God bless you two. ❤
I think you guys are amazing, you both work so hard and you always there for one another. You must be careful you don't beat your body up.
Katie, first off thank you for being so open about how therapy has helped you deal with depression. That encourages others to reach out for help. Maybe one of the most important things that you guys have shared. Nobody's life is Instagram perfect, we all have to admit from time to time we need help. I applaud you!!!! The deck is going to be so nice.
Hey there fellow Canadians, my wife and I live in an offgride home in Quebec that our son and daughter plus friends built for us last summer. It is our retirement home since we are both over 65 on a 14hec wooden lot.Unfortunatly last march i had a very bad spill in the stairs because of an old work related knee injury, which resulted in me not being able to do much this past summer. We moved from our rv to the house last October and have lives through our first Canadian winter in our unfinished home but very liveable.
It makes me happy to see young people work towards their dreams when they are young and capable. We started way to old on this journey with limited capacities because of work injuries. Although we love it here it will be a few years before the house is completely finished.What we do not have is a mortgage and no dept which allows us more freedom and less stress. We did work for the past 15 yrs toward this project and now enjoy the peace in being out in the bush .
have a great day
That last shot made it seem worth all the work to me. It looked like it was for you as well. Good Job!!!
The deck looks great! It’s funny how I don’t know you, but I’m strangely proud of how much you’ve accomplished since finding your videos. It’s just nice to see other people doing things for themselves and learning as they go. Keep up the hard work 👍🏻 and good luck with that pesky bear.
You have yourself an awesome deck and a great addition to your house. What are your plans to cover the plywood? Seems to me that the Canadian winters will rot the deck out in a couple of years. Those black bears can be real pest, so it is a good thing that your dog keeps running it off. It will get the message soon or later. They aren't the smartest animal in the woods, so it takes a while to get the message. Great video.
I beleive they are putting cement board, or a product like it. Katie said Greg had an idea for something else. Then usually some else is out on top, like tile.
Thanks for sharing your personal experiences. You're a trooper. Mental heath is as important as physical health.
Perfect little camper and perfect layout. Very nice
Your place is coming along nice. Was wondering why you went for plywood on the deck apposed to 4x slats.
Yes, that plywood will completely rot, curl, and separate within 2 yrs if left exposed to the weather. I have a piece that I left out in the weather after a move, so I speak from experience. 😞
They said in their last video they are laying a rubber membrane over top and something about cement boards. Don't remember exactly what they were describing
Deck looks awesome it will be such a great space! Bear must have been pushed out from his family, hope he will find a new place to live away from your home! Camper is going to be so much fun 🎉
What a beautiful patio. So huge.
Katie, hope all that you've accomplished helps you feel better. You're so awesome!!!
That 70's trailet is quite the collector's item. My neighbor refurbished one and it turned out beautiful. He kept the 70's vibe. Have fun.❤
Man you're one hardworking little woman I wouldn't blame you for taking a good old long break❤
I had a bear doing the same thing, and my dog was the same but aggravated the bear and the bear swiped at the dog and it ripped him open, it took 50 plus stitches to sow him up, the dog was fine but something to watch out for, then little bears are very powerful, praying your dog’s don’t get to close🙏❤️You’re Alaskan Friend
Just from what I have seen in your videos, I'd have made the deck lower so less snow would pile up on your doors, and fall into the house, but that's me. The deck is gonna be one more useful place/space for sure. I'm thinking you should find an old hot tub for free or cheap and put it on your deck as well. You could still use your wood fired water heater for it, but it'd look a lot better than the home made one. Jen and Jay just did just that and I know they are enjoying it a lot. and WOW, how good that would feel on some tired sore muscles! I know if I did 1/4 of what y'all do, I'd live in it every evening! You two work so well together, I am envious for sure(being as I live alone) Thanks for sharing all you do, I could watch you all and what you get done daily!
Getting close to 100k, pretty awesome!!! Love your channel,stay safe!!
Keep your chin up don't get depressed, hitch the trailer up, when your hubby gets home tell him we are going away for a break. As long as you have a place to put your head down. The renovation can wait. Be happy. 😀
That aerial view at the end is fab 😱. The place is really coming together now 😀 and let’s hope Yogi’s evil cousin will relocate himself elsewhere in the search for food before hibernation
I always enjoy the beginning shots of the animals and the drone shots at the end. You really have a beautiful piece of property you are developing into your dream. Those bears can be stubborn and pesky but in the end they will give up. I am very impressed with the deck. It was a great idea and addition to the house. It adds function and quite a bit of space that will be very useful for you. Katie, once again, you impressed the heck out of me. I admire you very much for your strength and grit as you do what you need to do accomplish what you desire. I'm sure it was difficult discussing lifes challenges and I'm very glad you have found your support and assistance. Stay strong and optomistic Katie. You are an inspiration and have many that care a great deal about you. Have a good week you two. 😊❤ Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
You guys are so hard working, God has blessed you both with a wonderful work ethic and togetherness. You were meant for each other. Enjoy the journey...God bless you!
Looking sharp as it gets. Black bears do not like moth balls. Food for thought. Keep up the good work and nice vlogs!!!
Bear alarms - whistle, air horn, rattles, for noise. Bear protection: spray, gun, dogs. Bear safety: relocate food and animals.
Small camper colors and furnishings look very 70'sish. Reseal and caulk windows. Repaint interior with brighter colors and replace furniture fabric. Open windows, doors, hatches to vent interior. Place cushions and bedding in the sun. Spray interior with Fabreeze. Add timed air freshner mister. Definitely more accommodating than tents, especially in the cold. Check, spray wash and fix exterior as required.
Niice entertaining areas on the deck.
Yes old people like alternative music. Wife and I are in our 70's and we love the music on your channel. We have an alternative radio station in Michigan that we enjoy. Thanks for sharing!
Good Job on camping trailer....you are so right, for 'winter' camping it is the way to go👌NICE progress with the deck, it will be NICE! Sorry about the scare with the bear BRAVE WOMAN~💗💚
You guys sure take on a lot! Bears in the barn, decks to build, campers to renovate, wow!
Thank you for sharing your coping mechanisms. Life throws curves that can be very hard to navigate, therapy Van be a godsend.
Omgoodness you had a very nosey, hungry and persistent 4 leg neighbor great job on keeping him at bay... porch/patio looks great! Thanks for still sharing your journey... we still watching ❤❤
Sweetie, I'm sure that Greg can chop the wood, but better than that you need a wood splitter They are not that expensive and will save your back, and 3 times as fast, I have back issues, and I have pain 24/7, and take care of my disabled wife of 46 years, it's a battle every day SO SAVE YOUR BACK, and. take care of feeding animals and garden
Katie you are a awesome young lady. You two make a great team.
thats funny i had a 1969 ozark i think is was 15 ft almost the same as that one i parked on my lot in N/W Wisconsin for about 18 years built a camper port for it,when a guy picked it up the tires aired up and the lights worked after 18 years lol
Wow look's fantastic. It would look amazing with a complete wrap around deck to, something to think about. You are doing a fabulous job
Nice job on the deck,the size is great an the view is wonderfull,can't wait to see what you do for railings an stairs
awesome shot of the place at the end yall have come alone so great knocking them projects out hope yall have a great week be safe
Good for you on that wood chopping. I'm impressed!
The porch looks great ❤. good job ❤
Just a reminder to make sure the wheel bearings are greased and maintained, because the last thing you need is a wheel bearing go bad while you are driving down the roads.
As recently new viewers my wife and I are enjoying going back and catching up on your build. Great teamwork.
Great feeling when you can sit on a finished deck with your mate and watch the sunset. Did you ever try marking your territory where you spot the bear? I used to have raccoons come in my cat door till I went out at 3am and marked with pee. Then I sprinkled coffee grounds along the perimeter of my yard. I have heard spreading used kitty litter works too.
Oh your chickens and goats are just so cute and they seem very happy, and those turkeys looked so happy and the way you fixed that fenced area looks so good. Oh that camper might be older but it doesn't look too bad, and getting it all fixed up will be so nice for you guys to enjoy. Seeing that bear would have scared me a little especially eating things on your property and hopefully you guys are kept safe. Wow you really are so amazing at all you do on your property and organizing things and cleaning and doing all kinds of great stuff. So awesome you got all of the sheeting on your deck, it really is looking so cool. Thanks for this wonderful video that was a lot of fun watching, have a great and blessed day sending love and hugs, bye! 😂🤗✌👋🙏💜💜
You two have come a long way in content creation. Nice mix of b roll, drone and personal presentation. So very glad that you were spared from the awful wildfires nearby...so sad for the large property loss there. Wildfire is one of the dangers mixed in with the wonderful beauty as I know well here off grid in North Idaho. Really enjoy what you share and am pulling for your youtube financial success
It's amazing that your pet is healthy and healthy, all the food is very green grass
Hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿. That bears going to be a problem. Be careful please.
Great progress on the deck you guys are just awesome👏☮️❤️
Your goats are adorable, great progress Turnout , ❤
Poor little bear sniffs the air and knows Winter will soon be upon you and maybe having checked out your newer van, sees it as a nice nest to sleep thru the winter in.
I'm sorry to hear about your depression and anxiety. You both bring so many of us joy. I pray for you and Greg, and hope your both doing well.
Another job well done, the deck is huge and will be an awesome outdoor space!! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Always great to see you guys!
I sold the main house in 1977 and bought it back in 1992, then began a major renovation. Your deck plywood reminded me of the main front deck on our house. The previous owner had used plywood under the decking. That plywood had rotted due to water not being able to dry out. It did not last more than 10 years. If you are decided to use plywood, they make a " waterproof " version. Even so, don't expect much of a lifespan.
The deck is coming together beautifully 😍
Congratulations on the purchase of your toaster-style trailer. They can be a fantastic value if you can find them for cheap because they're wood framed and can be worked on with fairly common tools. As you saw, they tend to leak along their windows edges because the style of waterproofing tape they used back in the day turns to goo over time. In addition to the windows, you're also going to want to pull the j-trim along the seams between the sheet metal sides and top. The sealant will also be failing on you there. Check for leaks around the roof vent and door as well. Finally, check for damage around any water or propane lines.
Reskinning the inside with your favourite 1/8" windsor plywood is a fantastic idea. It will look awesome and cost me less than I expected on my toaster. Use the existing woodpanelling as templates for cutting new plywood. I used acrylic caulk and 18 gauge nails to put my panels on so that it'd be serviceable if one ever needs to come back out.
I can't wait to see the finished project. It's gonna be awesome.
Young lady that camper will be perfect for ya'll looks pretty good shape for 70s . Ya'lls homestead is lookin great all the hard work has definitely payed off lookin better all the time. The depression really sucks . Every one deals with it differently guess but helps me to get on tractor get my mind somewhere else. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls time together and homestead
That camper is a great deal given the fair condition. The porch is one major addition. It takes your home to a different level.
Good morning how are you guys doing today hope you guys having a great day and I'll keep up the good work and have fun out there building your deck out there just catch you guys later
Seeing a new elevation in a build is so exciting! Everything you imagined finally is coming to fruition. Bears.. ugh! Such a challenge when living out in their area. The trailer looks like a fun project! Glad you slayed the mold. 😮
Best way to christen the deck is with a nice BBQ. You know the deck is built well when you have all the family dancing on it. Thankfully the wet weather has brought an end to the serious fire hazard for the woods. Open a trailer BnB for the snow sledders this winter to generate Katie's extra cash.
AWESOME!! Did you just add about 750 sq ft of outdoor living space?? You will so enjoy that deck!! That bear may have to go!! Hopefully he wises up & stays out where he belongs instead of looking for easy pickings!
You got a pretty good deal on the camper. It looks in good shape. Short term fixes, replace anything cloth - mattress, cushions, etc. Then wipe everything down with disinfectant. And then the furnace, refrigerator, and good to go. And then in the spring, gut it. The bear found the. Hi Jen feed so now he knows where to find food, will continue to come back. If you want to not take drastic action on the bear, you can try air horns, shotgun blanks. Good luck, just please be careful.
Oh wow it's got a good furnace in it too no forced air furnace you better keep that furnace those are good furnaces no electricity to run those I even had one of those in my shop two bay shop and actually Heated the shop and that's the kind of furnace I had in my bus plus the wood stove
Looks like Canada is still on fire. Gotta say I wish I knew what your doing with your deck.. I’ve never seen anyone plywood a deck before I’m sure you have a plan. What is it ?
Yes we used to get mold in all of our tent trailers that we used to rent out really bad and all the RV used to get a lot of mold in it but you know all that mold inhibitor if you read every label in them mostly every one of them got bleach and that's all I ever used was bleaching water sometimes half and half that's why my clothes were always bleached but we had to be careful with the tent trailers because of the canvas couldn't use bleach so we're always looking for something that didn't have bleach in it and we view some of those cleaners from Canadian tire and you spray the canvas and next you can know you got bleach splattered marks all over the canvas so yeah they got bleach so you're better off just to use bleach and water for mold I used to call it my second aftershave bleach Best thing in the winter to keep mold out of your R V's are those little units that take the little beads the white beads I forget what it is called or just put it in a nylon stalking and hang it in the trailer and put a bucket below it or leave your windows open a bit as long as the temperature in the RV is the same temperature is outside your RV won't sweat standard cushions up on the edge don't leave them laying down or take them right out
You are getting close to 100,000 subscribers : : : Yay
You’re not really alone! There are many of us that get those feelings. Over the years, I have learned breathing techniques, and to just stop and to sit and read. Read anything until you learn what you like to read. Reading will get you inner peace because you will only be concentrating on one thing! Then you need to find a hobby that gives you happiness. It is very manageable and there are othe people that you can connect with. Always remember you are not alone!
Good morning Katie and Gregg . happy Sunday . I usually watch from Barbados but I'm on holiday and watching from NC.. love to watch your videos. Need to add another day for posting as I cannot get enough..love how Gregg says . Katie😊❤❤
There is nothing wrong with hard work but take a couple of minutes to determine if there is a way to work smarter instead of harder. If you have an old tire around you can put it over the pieces of wood you need to split so your not having to constantly set the wood back up. Try moving the wood to be split in front of the wood shed so you don't have to carry many pieces so far.😊
I too suffer from depression it hits out of nowhere. I bet you guys make that little camper so cute!!!
with your solar and battery knowledge this should be a great project
That bear needs to be taken care of. You and your family safety is the most important. Love your new deck.
MNR can usualy trap and move the bear elswhere if they keep coming around at least they do in Ontario, Canada.
I agree before it kills I hope they have a gun.
Maybe put electric fence up in certain areas to help keep the bear away. Or call the wildlife management and they may take it out your area. Good to see your deck coming along u and Greg has worked hard
It's easier on your back if you use a wheel barrow when moving firewood. You can move a lot more split wood in a lot faster time.
You need a paint ball gun for bear............ GOOD JOB ON DECK!
The work you guys out into each and every project is amazing, you are an inspiration
You guy's are a Great Team 👍👍👍👍🤠
Katie in love with that trailer. It looks almost identical to Leah & Levi’s (TH-camrs) that they bought to redo. One suggestion is please remove the upholstery on those cushions. You might be very frightened to see the state of the foam inside. Especially if there was moisture. Leah & Levi found they had to throw all of theirs away. Full of mold 😉😣
The deck looks awesome 👏
Absolute Fabulous!! You guys ROCK!!!!
Greg, you need to build a porch in front of that wood shed. It’s going to be quite interesting coming and going with a load of wood when that hill in front is muddy and ice/snow covered
I'm watching from Sweden. You know one of the nordic countries. And it's always nice to follow you.
It's nice to see you two relaxing after a hard job that was well done. I guess your dog doesn't like drones.
Definitely get a SAD light for the winter, seasonal affected depression is real and where you live a light my be a great help for you !!
Real nice job! Hey I like the Katie way! Tee Square for the cut 😂
I agree with you about the walls. One thing to note being that trailer was built in the 70's. The foam probably contains formaldehyde and almost all of the glue used is really bad for you.
That's one beautiful deck, congratulations 😊😊😊
Gives you so much more square footage! Wow!
You may have a potential rot issue after 5 to 10 years with the T/G plywood. I've seen it rot pretty quick when covered but still exposed to seasonal moisture. Granted I don't live in Canada, Southern California is a totally different climate
Love your honesty Katie! Thanks for sharing that. You are beautiful, keep telling yourself that you’re loved.❤Hong Kong 🇨🇦
I love the size of the wrap round deck and you have gorgeous views from there. Bless Hinto barking at the drone x
The camper is small cozy and nice for camping.great idea and project.
Here in Belgium we can only dream of so much space and freedom.
You are doing so well the decking looking so good
I love the big deck you are building. ❤
That is going to be one fantastic deck😊.
Hey Kate.. I have a couple of Ideas for you to keep the bear away from your animals..
Put up a electric fence
(Premier fencing Works awesome)
Around the area you don't want him in. Second thing is to get
Wireless motion driveway sensors.
I have done this here in the Upper Pennisula of Michigan for bear. coyote, and bobcat.
@ 18:29 the way you are sliding your upper hand to the lower hand on your axe swing is so intuitive to a proper way to get axe head speed to split wood
Deck looks really good!!!
Yes bears got one here as well but haven't seen him in a while.Deck looks great well done guy's N.B. Canada
Gregg is a great leader you two make a great team
Nice balcony,nice work you two..
Deck looks great!!
Deck is coming right along. New projects with the camper. And a pesky bear to contend with. Busy week. Thanks for sharing.
