You're an example of Dreams come true, you just have to meet them half way! Look at all the experiences that you were able to keep for a life time.
Gooooood morning family. Yay for our favorite time on Saturday’s.🎉
❤️ Goooood Morning!
You two and your children are amazing!!!! I just luv watching this channel
Teamwork makes the dream work! In 1991 we built an awesome 6 stall horse barn here on our homestead. We often joked that we didn't have a lot of money, but we had plenty of muscles. lol Well, today we finished digging out the stall compost from the last two remaining stalls to prepare them for a concrete pour. Loved horses all my life, but at 62 more horses just aren't in the plan. So, we're repurposing this awesome space built a man-cave, now building my she-shed, enclosed tool and large equipment storage etc... with the help of our John Deere tractor, thank God for that tractor because these days we have more money than muscles. Love watching what you two are building together, and many years from now you'll have these amazing memories to keep you smiling!
I love watching your children ride Manny and your excellent “family friendly”
humor! Melissa thank-you for your narrating “alone time” 11:24 and channel summaries.
I dream of having the loving/respectful relationship you two have for each other someday. Wonderful! I never miss an episode you two are the highlight of my week.
Thank God for tractors and backhoes. We built a garage with 12 foot side walls that were 40 feet in length several years ago. I still am thankful every time I look at those large pieces of equipment. They are worth their weight in gold!
The scenery, the weather, the shower, the night sky, the beam, the weather. Another great video. Have you considered installing a night sky camera and broadcasting it live online? I would watch it.
Kenji must be the most satisfying supavisor around knowing your doing a good job he can have his naps
Ditto all the kudos everyone else is offering. 👍💪👏🙌💞 What I wanted to say is, I have never in my life seen a sheep who is so chill around people, seeking you out for pets and hugs, letting the kids ride him - very laid back and dog-like in temperament. Love that guy! 🥰🐑
I can see it now, "Mami & Pappi Construction". Applause rings out over the mountains...
I see Mr. Kenji excelling at his supervisor job! 😂
You guys always amaze me with your determination, ingenuity, passion, compassion, and heart. I’m proud to share space in this world with people like you.❤️
Once I saw the cat giving assistance in the measuring process, I knew everything would be fine. 😋
😆 🐈 😻
Love how kenji can nap and supervise at the same time❤
I like how he past the sheep, and the sheep just looked at him, “Oh, just Kenji doing his rounds”.
You are so right LOL!!
And kitty!!!
The way you two work together simply amazes me !! And your son is becoming quite the big helper💪!! Love and prayers to each of you always🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Navaeh was right there helping also.
@@jt1364 their kids are always good to help when needed!! Such a wonderful family❤️
What a blessing to be able to share all this with us. Thank you my you all be blessed and safe.
Thank you for mentioning in your video that you are taking a hunting safety class with your children. 👍
The day Kenji thought he was being shot with the nail gun!😂
Great job guys, all that worry for nothing, I had every faith in you ❤
wow! Never seen a sheep smile before. 5:38 She knows she's part of the family. She knows she belongs.
Thanks for the video. It is an enjoyable time to just sit back on a Sunday morning drink some coffee and eat some breakfast while watching your life's progress.
WOW, Your accomplishments never cease to amaze me and are strangely so so satisfying . CONGRATULATIONS!! Once again, Melissa, your closing thoughts are profound! This journey will inspire your children and your future generations!
OMG! Melissa and Jeremy never fail to make me laugh. Great job on the ridge beam Jeremy.
I never miss a post and have followed the journey since starting the tiny house build. Truly my weekly dose of inspiration and joy as I watch your lovely family in a gobsmackingly beautiful part of the planet. Thank you ❤
Have you ever watched Shawn James "My Self Reliance" build his log cabin, by himself? Large logs, cable stretched between two large trees, a system of pulleys and come-a-longs. Awesome.
I don’t know why I was holding my breath and I had butterflies in my stomach during the lift, but I did. Great job!
Thank God that beam didn’t fall. God is good.
Have a blessed week ahead. 🤙
This project scares me, too. I had to pause the video and wait until I felt braver to watch. ;-) Remember the First Rule...No Dying! Whew!!! Huge sigh of relief from Florida!
You guys are amazing! You accomplish what most of us wouldn’t even try and your kids have a front row seat to witness it.
its coming on nicely guys, surely now its time to get all the kids on chores in the afternoon.
The queen👸installing the 🤴stud ❤ Three years it seems like just yesterday when I started following the Good simple living you tube channel ❤
The beam is up, it’s level and you did it safely. That’s the main thing, great job!
Yall never cease to amaze me. In the unforgiving "spring", dead of winter, or blazing hot summers yall just go for it. ❤❤
❤️
I just can’t get over you two doing all this building by yourselves without a construction background. I am so impressed by your work ethic and that “we can do this” attitude. Lol I wrote this comment before the end of the video where you talk about building and before I read other comments. Looks like we all feel the same way about you.

For little notches in wood, a router works well and is safer than the saw and chisel. Line levels sag a little. When using a power saw, gloves are dangerous. It can pull your hand into the blade. I'm glad that you haven't been hurt but I worry that you will get caught. I come from a family of carpenters who all died with all of their fingers. Good job with the beam. When moving things, momentum can cause troubles. I've learned that columns need temporary bracing while loading and connecting. Don't be afraid to use extra bracing. Good Luck, Rick
A whopping "wahoo" to the beam... A perfect lift and set!!
My, my, how I love watching you two build. Melissa and Jeremy are Fearless.
This was stressful. Weldone I'm glad you finished the beam and everybody is safe. Your shower looks beautiful.
I just love how you two work together as one as it should be. You have built a beautiful home together. I don’t know where you live but I see beautiful splendor all around you.
Thank you so much 💓 North Idaho
We need a book with your final thoughts on each video. An inspirational offering.
All through the video I was wishing you'd hire some pros with a crane, but you got it done yourselves and no one died! Yay! Looked pretty scary, especially with the kiddos helping. I'm glad it all worked out OK.
Where did all the construction skills come from? Your Dad a carpenter? Love the way you pass this down to the kids.
You and Jeremy are Amazing!! What A Team!! God Bless You and Your Beautiful Family!! Have a Wonderful Weekend!! ❤😊⚘
Thank you so much 💓 God bless
Not gonna lie...I've never been more excited (😅) about a glitch-free installation of a high beam (is that what it's called?). Bravo!!!!
I swear I held my breath while watching that beam going up on the top of the posts 😀
Hello Family 🤗 Good idea with horse pasture- troopers working on fence in hail storm 😉 your scenery videos are fabulous 😍 Awesome job on the support post 👍 Your shower is beautiful - nice to finally have 😊 Have a great weekend 🙏🇺🇲🥰
Nothing is impossible with you guys…..what a formidable team…now even I can breath.stay safe well and happy guys we’ll done
God Bless your fantastic family ! You have your youth, your so lucky 🍀
Yes I second you ,they have youth on their side. My husband is 63 not in good heath and I am 59 ,we last year started to develop this barren Rocky land into an orchard. This year we planted about 250 apple trees along with cherry and apricot trees. People say we are late to try such a project but we are not giving up.
I really like your channel partially because you only have one episode per week. I know when to expect it. NO SHORTS!!!!!
Good job, getting that beam set. Please take a moment and brace it diagonally both left and right side, as well as a diagonally from the middle post near the bottom and back too the top along the side of the engineered beam. Because even though you have secured it at the bottom. The latteral movement will exceed the spec loads until it is locked into place with the TJI system. Safety first! 🙂👍
Also I would suggest once the lower section is down would be to pour the concrete, it makes it easier, just cover the beams with something. This will allow you to be able to build the stairs.
The closest and shower looks great.
Have a good week and God bless amen.
😁👍❤️🔥🕊🕊🕊🌿🌿🌿
Gabby looks great with the
" backbone " in place,and...added bonus!!??
Everyone still has all of their fingers n toes..and No Bumps n bruises!! Awesome!
Kenji n his assistant Kitty..
did a great job...supervising..
N being the " safety sallies" on this project!!
Great job kids ( helping)!!
C ya on the next video!!
👍🚜🐺🧙♂️🦊🚜👍
I remember setting the ridge beam on my house. By myself. I agree that it is one of the most dangerous and nerve racking parts of a build. Y'all tackled it like pros! Great job!
FANTASTIC TEAMWORK !!! You did great Jeremy, had it all figured out before starting and it worked . Super job. We enjoyed the shower completion and the way you described how someone will act brought back memories, We have only been married 55 years and there have been slips and falls and hospital calls and we had to laugh with you. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and fun around there. Fred.
It’s so exciting to witness each week the progress you’ve made and it’s so refreshing also to see the Ohana in the videos which includes Sir Kenji and the little sassy feline. Continued blessing Souza Ohana.
I look forward to your videos every week. I wish they were longer!😊
Yay, your own shower! You both must be stoked. Always love you guys playing around, lol. Got to love that intermittent weather. Great bubbles. Fantastic job on that beam. Great vlog :)
Ok, I was holding my breath. I think my heart rate went up quite a bit also. Thank goodness everything went as planned and nobody was injured. Thank you for sharing with us. Love from Ohio. Gabby your coming along so well.
We were as well!! Took a bit to come down from it!!
Good job. I was holding up the beam with my thumb😂. So funny when i caught myself doing it. God bless y'all. 😊
Teamwork makes the dreams work.!
This is couples goals guys and I love it. A neighbor of mine put a walkway in between the house and garage so they wouldn’t actually go outside to get to vehicles.😊 this man loves his wife unconditionally by the way he look at her. Great job. My husband calls me mam also. We’ve been married for 42 years.
Your bathroom shower looks fantastic and so does your closet. That beam looked dangerous but you guys did it. Great job! Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam🌴🇬🇺🌴
Jeremy you amaze me ! Actually you both do what a team you are. a house build like that without any experience and doing it and amazing job ! Just beautiful ❤😊
...you put it out there that it was going to be SMOOTH and it was...all how you speak with the Universe. Congratulations on the BEaM!
Adding that expensive beam up….that super heavy beam that gives every builder immense stress- you did it!!! I had to fast forward, check the ending, could see that it was up and then went back to watch the success- BRAVO!
This is for Melissa- my dad died of emphysema when I was just a teenager. That was 40 years ago. I have thought of him every single day- saddened by the great things that couldn’t share and also deeply saddened that I couldn’t talk to him when I had my massive stroke- heart defect…and I know that he would have been right there me, every single day, without hesitation. That was my dad. He would have been there when I graduated from pharmacy school, my second stroke and my 2 brain surgeries. But, life does move on…and I miss him so much, 4 decades later. Smoking can change not just your life, but it can change the lives of those around you also. I hope that you at least smoke outside so that your kids aren’t inhaling the poison- or cancer sticks as I have always referred them. My sister’s father-in-law died of lung cancer about 10 years ago. He looked so healthy too….great sadness for his entire family.
Please think about your kids. I am sure that your family will do everything to help you to stop that habit it they only knew the risk that you are putting yourself in each time you light up. I don’t mind the cocktail or two- lol, but the smoking, it will kill you and it’s not a good way to go. Please consider my very friendly advice.
I appreciate your kind words so much, but I am not a smoker. Jeremy just makes up random things that are opposite of me to tease me online. Like I'm a 52 year old, tall, day drinker, smoker, and peeping Tom. I'm none of those lol
You go Jeremy, you're, awesome In every build, have all the confidence in you, and for your beautiful wife who's behind you all the way.
Great job you too….I just watched Nevaeh’s video on getting her new car…it took me right back to my proud moment of my little ones buying their first car…you did everything as great parents do…and it showed by the reaction on her face. It was seeing the purchase through my children’s eye all over again…Mahalo for taking me that happy place…the very best to all of you…Aloha G
What you have my Darlings
Money can’t buy!
Beautiful family a HOME
And you are so very much loved ❤
You have the friendliest sheep i have ever seen!
Wonderful process of installing that massive beam never give up
Beautiful job Jeremy and Melissa! You are determined to tackle all that needs to be done and it's so beautiful to see how well you work together. God is with you as you continue building! God bless you and your family! A special hello to Eli. 🛩
GREAT JOB GUYS. I HAD MY FINGERS AND MY TOES CROSSED. I WAS OVER HERE CHEERING WITH THE KIDS. I WAS SOO HAPPY YOU GUYS DIDN'T GET HURT. YES!!!! THANK YOU JESUS. AMEN LOVE Y'ALL
Now you can take Jeremy, a Factor meal and a frosty drink into the new shower! PARTY!! ;)
❤❤❤ I truly appreciate how you work together! I am also astounded by the fluctuation of your weather!!! 😂
Us too!!
I love your determination, perseverance, dedication, drive, perfection, grit, and never give in attitude. You have so much to look back to see all you’ve accomplished.. you all are so inspirational! My husband built our house 20 years and we are still so thankful for the journey.
understood.
Oh the luxury of not sharing a shower with your kids...never heard that complaint before...I am still adjusting perspective. Ya'll are amazing with all you do.
Love that the 🐈 and Kengi follow you where ever you go
There really is nothing you can’t do as a team! Great job!
love the way the two eldest were helping with the beam totally awesome that they will have the experience of building part of the framework which is the building block of life, it is the best way to understand why everything needs to have a foundation to build off of whether it is a building, a new learning experience, or a new chapter in your life.
You two are brilliant in how you tackle even the scary things and that is a good example for your children to learn from and experience.
It's nice they can help now
@@GoodSimpleLiving the reason we have children so they can learn from us, help us, and look after us when we need them to
Bravo 👏👏👏!!! I love your daughters colorful kitten shirt 👕!!!! And the BUBBLES!!! Must have been the kitty cats and Kenji's supervision how smooth it went 😅❤. Wonderful how much the two of you are still so in love and playful 💕🙌. The horses whiskers at the beginning are so pretty, beautiful creatures!!! God Bless Your Wonderful Family 🙏. Western Upstate New York here 🌺🌱🍎🐿💛🦋
Gabby is looking mighty fine, have a fantastic week guys see you next Sunday morning ❤
I had not doubt you'd get that beam up there. Nice work! Also - orange kitty!
I'm beaming with pride! Great Job.
Looks like you are having the same kind of weather we are! Goes from snow one day to 80° the next, back and forth, but that’s what spring is like in Vermont and Idaho I guess! I applaud you both for all of the massive projects you take on, sure wish we were your ages when things were easier to accomplish!!! Such an amazing family! 👍👍
Michigan too.
Also here in Tennessee.
Whew! That was quite an accomplishment, congratulations guys!
Awesome job Jeremy and Melissa 😊 You can feel the love you two have for each other ❤ 🇨🇦
Teamwork makes the dreamwork...lol 😂😅 Excellent job manhandling that beam into place, tractor or not, it's a scary feeling! Love ya'll ❤️
You're an amazing family indeed.Since you have a side door on your new garage facing your home's side door,then you can build a breezeway between them both
Yes
You are so very right. The absolutely never gives up but neither do you. Thank you for a marvelous video and congratulations on that humongous being you guys rock
A very tough job to put the beam in place. You all made the job look like a piece of cake
Holy Moly, that was scary!😱 I held my breath the entire time and nearly fainted but well done guys, you did it!!! 👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻❤🙏🏻. Greetings, Sara from South Africa 🇿🇦
HI JEREMY MELISSA AND FAMILY AWESOME VIDEO THANK YOU GUY'S SO PROUD OF WHAT YOU GUY'S HAVE ACHIEVED WELL DONE 💥💯💥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hmmm not sure why you’re surprised that it worked to perfection? That’s exactly what you said you’d manifest. Brava. Great team work & it’s a delight to know you have those little “touches” of intimacy as you create alongside each other. Job well done ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Omg! My ❤was pounding when you placing the beam up!!! 😮
Oh my goodness I was holding breath!!! Didn’t even realize I was until it was over lol. Great job
GREAT JOB !! SO PROUD OF YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED !! THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Much better than Trent and Allie's first attempt at a beam setting.
There’s no comparison between Trent and Allie’s build and this one. Sadly Trent and Allie’s house is barely livable while this house is beautiful and functional. Hopefully this garage will be the same.
Good on the Hunter Safety course. Every person that wants to own a firearm needs to have taken (and passed) some type of safety class. Awesome setting of the beam, well done 👊
You guys work so well together and you’re doing a great job. We really enjoy watching your videos. 👍❤️
Ahhhh you guys did it. Awesome. What a team !
I’m always impressed with your ingenuity!!
