- We’re about to jump into our mobile home addition and we are hashing out the details - and realizing we need to take out even more trees to make room for what we want to do.

If you spending the energy to build go as big as you can. Better to have the space than need the space.
Right? No one ever says I wish I’d gone smaller
Please make your additional rooms no less than 14 ft wide. It 10:19 wont cost that much more & you will be glad you did.
Lol, it's better to have the space and not need it than to need the space and not have it?
Absolutely go bigger
Make rooms for the new babies to come. Need to balance the boys and girl. Lol. Beautiful family. I can't wait. .
Go bigger y'all. You will not regret it at all!!
Honestly being happy with a great partner at your side is everything.
Preach
One day you'll have grandchildren crawling all over that house and you will be ecstatic that you went for the extra space!! I think it's wonderful! Love watching your family grow!!!
Nothing like a strong resourceful man taking care of his family.
You will never regret going bigger. As big as you can you will still fill it. And tho it looks empty where the trees were, you are about to fill that space anyway. You can always plant new trees along the addition and they will grow with you! However, it is not the size of the house that makes it a home, it's the size of the hearts that live in it! One reason we all love visiting with you is the love we see come from your home!! ❤❤
That looks amazing without the trees. A bit naked, but when the addition is on and you are sitting on your porch having coffee time, it is going to be so worth it. I can almost see it.
Then... once the addition in built..... you can plant a few nice shade trees near the house....just not as close.
Can not say this enough... Go Bigger if you possibly can. You've got the land.... that's the important part. I promise, you will NOT regret it. Plus... you deserve it. 👍 ❤
It's great you are getting the addition build started. Having extra room for a large pantry is icing on the cake, not to mention Miss Buggie can now have her own room like a big sister should!!❤ Something to think about, when my brother made his deck larger, he made a cellar underneath that was large enough to keep all the potatoes he grew for safe keeping! Thanks to Tyler, Jack, Brett, and Corbin for helping get the trees down!!!!!👏👏👏 Meg, your gumbo and rice looked so delicious! I believe Buggie really chowed down on it too. Meg and Ben, you are raising a wonderful family! Blessings to you both🙏
Life goes on. I have been watching your vlog from the beginning and marvel at how everything has changed. What has not changed is your love for your growing family. Meg simply looks beautiful carrying your next child. Bless your family. ❤
Congrats to Bret for having long legs, and boss flex at driving the tractor.🎉🎉
Remember those boys will be moving out in a few years and then they will be getting married. So make room for all those grandkids. I just love watching your family grow.
Why would they moved out? Ladies can move in 🙂.
I’m gonna give a hella shoutout to your crew Ben. They are hard working young men. I learned to drive a tractor when I was 8. I hauled empty wagons to my parents in the hayfield. Learning to do that and handle that chainsaw safely is a must. Great video! Great job Holler men.
I have a twenty by 10 deck on my cottage and us also covered. My cottage is 28 by 13.5 ft. You will love the covered deck. Sitting out during the rain and grilling. Shade for the baby and buggie to play on. I love watching a build. Meg, your gumbo looked so darn good. Good job, guys, on the trees.😊
I think it’s just wonderful how you and the boys just work together so well you are truly a blessed family
Buggie volunteering to drive the tractor! 😂 It is only a matter of time. So excited to see this project underway.
At this point I’d now rent a stumper. We had to take out 16 tress on our ten acres all near our house and afterwards rented a stumper. So glad we did. Fast work of them.
I completely agree!
Ground 18 stumps in one rainy muddy cold fall day last year. Very satisfying and productive.
You and Meg are building so much confidence in your children having them do these projects with you.
YAY BIG family bigger house. So glad for y all. 💕💕
Raised all of my children in a single wide mobile home. Successful, productive, and hard working people. In a park too. I salute you both. Isn’t it amazing how many people tell you how they want what you have? Seems envious but it’s the American way!
Thank goodness for all your little helpers, that went fast taking all those trees down. Good decisions talking all the trees down and making a bigger addition to the house. You will love it when it’s all done.
While the cost difference of going from 10 wide to 12 wide is something to consider. You will not regret it at all. You are correct you need to consider the addition as essentially a separate structure for design purposes. The trailer is not designed for additional load on the outriggers under the floor framing. You can do either a pier and beam foundation or a conventional block crawl space (my recommendation). The block crawl space foundation has the advantage of not needing additional materials to enclose the underside (as opposed to Pier and Beam). You need more concrete for the footers. Block and mortar. Anchor bolts and rebar. I think the Pier and beam is less expensive to get out of the ground but underpinning and skirting likely cause it to be a draw in the long run. Remember you can cantilever the house side and move the footers and block work back from the existing trailer to make installing the footers easier. Just some thoughts and ideas for you. Stay safe and warm. Love the video. PS You can do the room first and catch the porch section afterwards. Between the new baby and gardening season just around the corner you are going to be busy.
Meg, you look absolutely beautiful! ALMOST makes me miss my having babies days lol Great job with the trees guys!
Thank you! 🥰
This video made my heart smile😊 📣 Meg....Do you have an Amazon Wish list for the Baby, New addition "Stuff" to the homestead?
Sons are such a blessing you had a good work crew taking down those trees.
so good that you have your own work crew working along side you, good choice in adding the extra width to your upgrade.
I see the deck with lights, plants and family growing in place of the trees.❤
I really enjoy watching your videos! That little girl of yours really brings joy to your videos and sparks so much life around her, you all are very inspiring! Thank you!
You look at the back of your house now after removing the tree's and it looks naked. Not for long though!! Once you make the addition, and porch it will look just the way you want. How cool to see your boys working the tractor, and climbing trees.
Yay for another baby! So excited for y’all
We’ve seen the amount of trees you have planted Ben, your net planting to cutting down ratio is in your favour (and the planet’s)
Also, he is probably going to use those trees for lumber ❤
They will miss the shade those trees provided come July...
"Who's going to drive the tractor?" Buggy- "ME!" 🤣🤣
I'm so excited for you all! So many awesome changes coming your way!!
I'm so glad you're going bigger! It seemed a shame to do all that work for a little increase, so this is great!
I think ya'll did an amazing job on your house and here's the main thing-love truly does make a house a home and your family has that in spades! Meg, I'm excited for your pantry.
Yes! You have made a great choice to go big. You won’t be sorry. You’re sure to use the space and what an amazing home you’ll have when you are done. Meg I sure would love to have one of your delicious meals. 🥰 Your family sure is blessed to have you for their mom. 💕🙏🏻💕
I have to say thank you to Meg- I have been in a cooking slump for months and today I made gnocchi inspired by you guys- it came out great and the family loved it! The experience has set me back on the right path in the kitchen and I thank you for it!! 😊❤️
I was told by a carpenter to always make things a multiple of 4 feet. Everything is based on 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall
Excellent advice!!!!
Generally I agree, but if my husband said he could make it 12 ft wide or 14 ft wide, I would choose 14 to give myself two more feet.
@domesti-city ... tell him its either 12' or 16', no option for 14'!
I get the hatred for mobile homes I've lived in a mobile home almost my whole life. Just in the last 5 yrs my husband and I bought a small house here in NC and its nice but I've seen mobile homes that are really nice yours is one of the most beautiful one's I've seen. Go bigger I think y'all will not be disappointed. Many blessings to y'all Ben I've seen you build really nice things so go for it lol
Buggy is always a ball cuteness!!! Who is having a new room???? Yey, its buggy cutie🎉
Enjoy you all channel so very much. Blessings
Best time for the boys to learn some mad skills. Give them as much hands on as possible, Ben. Plumbing, electric, mason, all of it! Hearing the chainsaw going while you were inside... 👍💪
Hello Meg, Ben, Brett, Tyler, Corbin, munchie and buggy!! Thank u for sharing!! I am excited to see the addition build!! And the sweet new addition in Meg’s belly!! Meg is so gorgeous and even more gorgeous when she is pregnant!! Love ur family dynamic and the atmosphere u work so hard to carry into ur home! Ur boys are so sweet, caring and hard working!! Buggy is so sweet! She had her mouth full but I still heard her sweet voice singing byeeeeee!!!
Hi Jack too??.?
@@mmurphy2317 wait are there 4 sons or 5? I thought I had all the names here?
@@jennfetters4909 Munchie is Corbin's "nickname"...iirc...
Oh Hollars- I have watched you since the beginning and you never cease to impress me with your determination, your flexibility , and basically your joy for life- thank you for inspiring us❤️❤️
Yal are so precious….i pray your addition is a total joy for everyone and the Lord Jesus protects you all!❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Seems like you guys are are all more comfortable around the camera these days and it's fun to see your personalities come out. Ben, you're a natural teacher. I never feel as if you're talking past me, and love it when you explain your thought processes. It's weird how you each seem to be custom made for traditional roles--hey, why not?--and also seem custom made for each other. Thanks for sharing all that you share with us!
Ben can do anything except have that baby! That's Meg's job! Meg you are an amazing woman.Your boys have learned so much working along beside each of you. You know Buggie will be a wonderful big sister! Your boys will adore that new addition. I must have missed the announcement about the baby. Congratulations! Good luck on building the addition to your home. Watching your channel is delightful part of my day.
Your comment about living in a “tiny house” compared to your home in CA amused me. The 12 x 20 addition you are planning is what I live in full time. You will love the additional space. I look forward to watching the process.
Ben: Who's driving the tractor...
Buggy: ME!
She cracks me up! So cute!
Buggy is so delightfully independent now.
Congrats on the new one. What a blessing. And good start. Love Bev from Oklahoma
I knew that was a baby bump. How blessed, You are the best parents. Congratulations. Build it as big as you want it now.
There’s a reason trees are nicknamed”Widow Maker”. This project is going to be fun to watch.
Hi, Ben and Meg! I LOVE your home. You have made it customized to your needs. I think going big would be GREAT!!!!!
Are you going to deliver this baby too? You did such a good job with Buggy. Love you guys.
I'd forgotten that! He did a great job!!!
So excited for this build and baby!
It is not the bricks, wood, or mortar that makes a home, it is the people that live in it that makes a home. You have a beautiful home.
Once addition/deck completed, you could always put some raised beds around and plant up to give it some colour and decorative. It will look great when finishers
Ben that addition is going to be fabulous! Be safe and carry on.👍🏻🙏
Congratulations Ben & Meghan on your plus 1 to be.
Good bless your family ❤
Is she not the cutest thing ever! Love seeing her little personality just shining away.
Wow, the house looks so different without the trees. Looking forward to watching the addition go up.
Another great and productive day on the Hollar Family Homestead! Blessings on your day Kiddos!🌻🐛💕
you guys are becoming my favorite home steading channel. I appreciate that you share your thoughts behind your decision, and Meg is so sweet, I just love how she looks at you... such respect and love in her eyes. Blessings on your work and family.
Who wants to drive the tractor… buggy.. meeee… love that little girl ❤️… well done boys , you all did a fantastic job ❤️❤️
Well done Ben & Meg! It's going to be Great! Big is better when you have a family bursting at the seems! You all are going to love the extra space & rooms. Babies don't stay babies for long they grow, take space & need their own space.
Love that you are going bigger. It looks so different with the big trees down. Meg's baby bump has really popped lately. So exciting. Good job guys. 💞✌️👋💞
I had thought of the same idea to build the whole back side, when you were starting the project. To add on later cost more money and to have a porch area to sit at night and to grill. Best idea that your wife and have come up with. I had to laugh when Buggy waved goodbye. It was great how your boys work with their dad. A true blessing.
Meg, your baby bump is really growing and sooo cute! Getting excited for the new additions!❤
Ben definetely bigger. You won't regret it. Must say the way you dropped the first tree 👌 as good you are as my Treeman. Very proud of you the way you did it and you are not really a qualified Treeman.👏👏👏 I have to tell you our Tree story. Near the house it was a giant tree need it 2 people to hug it. Otherside of the fence the powerpole. We did not know but turned out the tree was holding up the pole when we decided it was way big and way near to the house. Also when they cut it found inside a gian decay big hole so it was only a matter of time. Wind forward time giant storm. If that tree stayed we would not have a house. So plant more if you feel guilty but put them far away from the house. I did plant small trees further away so I feel I did not taken away a tree from Mother Earth.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤to all of you giant big🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
Your wife seems to be so happy and joyful.
Don't you just love how plans change? I loved when buggie volunteered to drive the tractor. It reminded me of when I was small and learning how to drive my papas tractor. And also when buggy was saying she wasn't full. Can't wait to meet the next lil one. Meg how have you been doing with this pregnancy? I hope you haven't had a hard time with it. Love seeing everyone being involved of all the things on the homestead. I can't wait till we get to get our lil piece of property in the country.
I did too!😂
It has been a great pregnancy so far. I am definitely feeling the extra weight in my back and feet, but overall I have great energy and feel good.
Buggie will be juggling chain saws and speed racing all the drivable equipment by the time she is 5!
@@TheHollarHomesteadHave to agree, you look stunning on this pregnancy. The hair is lustrous, the skin is perfect and that smile is infectious. You're some woman to do all you do with a jolly heart.
This is going to be so much fun watching!!!!!
It's so cool to see your sons' become men. Great job teaching them the life skills they will need when they have families of their own.
"Perfect, good job" the cheers of Meg for her men 🥰
Yep! Go bigger! ❤
So happy to see the start of a new build to add space for your home to be more comfortable to carry on life as a big , growing family.. build as big as you can afford , we will be cheering you on.
We live in a double-wide and have for years...wow the snide remarks we have gotten. Our dream was to have land in the country without a mortgage. With a lot of saving and not spending on nicer things, we accomplished that dream in 2018. We moved our paid for double-wide onto our 10 acres. We are on our farm that we prayed and waited for. Our next dream would be to build a little farm house and pole barn without debt. Working on it but if we need to stay in our double-wide, we are content in that! I'm so excited to see you guys working to fulfill your dreams!
While you're building go ahead and give yourself more room, it's not that much. The process is the same. I've been there a few times. It would make you sick to have regrets. Good thinking Ben, you have a big family that will soon be adults.❤
Looking forward to the additions - house and family!
Am glad you’re going bigger 👍. When you’s said add on a room my first thought was to make it just a tad bigger so Meg can have a bigger pantry. 😃. I’m amazed at your kids ♥️😊 just so into helping with whatever comes up INCLUDING a new sibling ♥️♥️ Totally if there was a plaque for FAMILY of the year , it would have your name on it. I also love how down your earth Meg is with cooking. None of the step by step 😄 Gotta laugh though at some - they actually say I’m gonna stir this with a spoon 😂😂🤣.
I’m looking into getting your cookbook too. 👍. Meg you look absolutely beautiful 😊
Ben I would take your home over my old small log home any day:) Great progress on the build and I'm glad you are making it bigger:) can't wait to see the next video. Have a wonderful night.
🇦🇺OMG, Meg when you said there’s settling and sagging. The look on your face made me burst out laughing. I thought what are you talking about now?? The house or us. Applicable to both. 😂😂
Exactly 😂😂
Buggy volunteering to drive the tractor 😂
You took the trailer base and rebuilt your home into a small home versus a tiny home. There are no wheels on your home so it is no longer a "mobile" home. By expanding even more that negative label is far in your review mirror. Excited to see how this addition goes. Since you are an excellent builder I foresee a very strong space for your family. The trade out of a few trees for living space is a no brainier since you literally have hundreds of trees on your land. As your orchard grows you will soon appreciate more pantry space😀. Seeing your son's work so well with you is awesome.
Best wishes from San Antonio, Texas.
Good job Ben and boys (trees) and Meg and Buggy (dinner)!
May God bless the beginning of your new endeavor and lead you to the completion of it just the way you hope for. But of course Buggy has great table manners:)))
So excited for you. Can't wait to see the final product. Can't wait till baby comes. Congratulations.
Top job. Safely done. Great your two sons are a huge help. Now its full steam ahead with tye new project looking forward to your many projects to come
Looks good. Gumbo looked yummy.❤
Oh, I'm excited to watch you get started 😃
When you get it all done it will be beautiful
Oh my gosh you completely missed doing a fantastic blooper kinda thing when Lily said meeee. I half expected to see her driving the tractor 🚜 😆 Ninja Sista can do anything 🧘♀️
Looks so good! Glad you’re going bigger!!
Congratulations on the pending addition to the family.
You will be glad once the addition is built, then you can plan where you want to add trees 😉 Looks good to me so far❤
What a low key baby announcement. Congratulations from all your people!
Joy of CONTENTMENT 🎉🎉🎉🎉
PEACE and Many BLESSINGS
It will look wonderful once the addition and porch is built!!
I'm so excited for you all. I have always felt you needed more space, especially in the kitchen. You are doing the best for everyone.
I think it's going to look great. Hey, I know about mobile home hate. I live in a 45 year old double wide. I'm remodeling it so it will be more how I want it. The only problem is that homeowners insurance is pricey. Good job. Can't wait to see the finished house. 😊
I love your tiny home/mobile home....whatever you want to call it, it really doesn't matter. You guys worked hard on it and it works for you. And, definitely go bigger!
