- We have a journey before us: to build a traditional American style house & to have it move in ready before the year's end. We'd love to have you join us during our first house build here on Frontier Patriot. Today is episode #1 where we put together what will eventually be the cellar. You have to build a house from the bottom up, after all.
All credit for the first song goes to Brandenberger Family Music, a lovely menonite family that have their own TH-cam channel! Please check them out ^_^
I made those floorplans on MS Paint 😅
🤣
Amazing. 😂
Our floor plan was on a large yellow pad of paper. I found a layout online that I liked and the men duplicated it.
Justine and Ron thank you for sharing. I am tired just watching. I am so excited for you! Seeing your love and hardwork building your dream home makes my heart so happy. Thank you for taking us on the journey ❤️
I've seen parts of PhD physics thesis diagrams that were obviously done in Paint. It's ok.
I'm a retired carpenter and this all looks VERY familiar - I'm just grateful I'm able to watch instead of doing it! You'll have an awesome house shortly! It's odd to see you two in regular contemporary clothes!!
I can relate to all that you just got through saying I have been a carpenter contractor for 51 years coming up this new year it all looks very familiar❤ may I add a prayer for you that God will be with you throughout your lifetime and you will have all that you seek and it's a blessing that the Lord has for you will multiply upon your family with good people lots of love. God bless you and your families and God bless our country. Hope to come by and see you sometime next summer😊
@@patricknester435 🛐 AMEN!! ✝
You found a beautiful piece of land! And your house will look so perfect on it. I’m glad you decided to make videos of your progress for us.😊
Hope you can save some of that rock that you dug up! It would be nice to have a little retaining wall around the garden, or paving stones on a path, or something made from it as a permanent part of your homestead!
We are saving it 😊
Split rocks make great backdrop to wood stoves.
This is so exciting to watch. Hope you get central air. Just saying.
Slate shingles
@@margarettickle9659, and sewer lines. Just saying. 😉
I’m so excited for you two! Thank you so much for letting us see the process!
A lot of love and hard work is being poured into your house. That’s what makes it so special. What a blessing! Praying everyone is safe throughout the building process.
It's honestly no surprise their other channel has grown so quickly. There is a natural talent here for filming and creating engaging videos, and it continues with every new post. So happy for you both! Can't wait to see the next!
And this is why Ron needs to consume 3/4th of every meal cooked. Backbreaking work! 👏🏽👏🏽
I'm so excited for you both and feel so privileged to be able to watch this adventure unfold! Thank you both for deciding to share it with us! 😃 Oh, and that Rolling Stones bit from Justine really had me laughing. 😂
God bless you both, Ron's father, and all involved! How glorious that you are doing the labor to build your dream. Your beautiful home will be finished sooner than you think!!!
Justine and Ron.....Justine and Ron....and one mo'gin, JUSTINE AND RON! I don't think you all know the MAGNITIDE and privilege's it is to be allowed to watch you both your forever home! Speaking for myself, I am EXCITED beyond words to see the construction of things as you all go and I think it was a GREAT idea, Justine, for you to feel we were worthy of walking this journey with you and Ron! Seeing all this makes me feel like we are building a house together and do you know that sharing this can be a blessing for those who want and dream to do the same? By the grace and glory of God, I pray Christ continues to use you guys to humbly inspire and bless us as we see the blessings fall upon you guys! As I see how you two and Ms. Kandye become more and more successful due to the channel and your activities off the pc, I ENJOY seeing God bless you guys and ask the Lord to do the same for me! You guys are just the epitome of God's greatness and I am so glad I found you guys! I can't wait to see more of your journey of building your forever home! Love you both SO MUCH!-Whitney♥♥♥
Thankyou Whitney!!
Your home sight is so beautiful! What a blessing to have 1000 ft of live water!
My oh my!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
So excited for you both. I've been watching you since you were working at the historic home. Can't wait to see your dreams come to life!!
Thank you for being here
Can't wait to see what this house will look like when finished.
Holy Moly, I am seriously envious of your plot of land! Serious amounts of woodland, a decent stream, and space for house and crops!
Lovely to see Ron's Dad!
....I bet you're glad you didn't have to dig out that cellar by hand! 😂
Modern machines can be a blessing!
My husband and father in law built our house in 2002. . Started in March and we moved in on Labor Day weekend. This brings back good memories. I wish I had documented mine better. Good luck to you and Ron. You will have a wonderful life together.
Madison county is pretty great, I grew up in Ironton, and the Pilot Knob area, and went to school and graduated from there. I now live in Alabama, but I always go home to visit family every year. I’m happy you found your spot of land to build your dream home on, stay blessed my friends, and happy building! ❤
Your lives are rich with opportunity!!!! Such an awesome story being told and one we’ll surely want to continue following!!
Wow! It really is a perfect piece of land! It’s going to be absolutely beautiful when it’s all done! ❤
My hat is off to anyone who works this hard for a living!! It’s going to be amazing when it’s finished and I am so excited and happy for ya both 😊❤ Thank you for bringing us along on your journey 🇺🇸🍀🇺🇸🍀🇺🇸🍀🇺🇸Ps..I’m glad the weather held up for ya! 😊❤
Your property is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! You all are going to have a gorgeous home!!!! I just LOVE it!!!!! ❤❤❤
How very exciting for you! A plot of land, trees, house - no doubt you have found your slice of heaven - and the creek, too! Lucky you!
I’m so excited for you two! We watched you fall in love and now we are watching as you build your future home! Thanks so much for including us in your journey! You two are so special to us! Looking forward to next video!!!❤️❤️
So cool! Cement floor laying ASMR! Can’t wait to see more progress videos!
Looking forward to watching this new adventure.
Fabulous! I am so excited for you, both. What a wonderful crew you have. I'm a retired accountant that worked in home construction. You've brought back many memories. I believe the footers and foundation are extremely important, right up there with the roofing. I can't wait to see your framing.
This is wonderful. I look forward to the next in this series. (Place a 2023 coin in the cement! )
How exciting for you both! Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us.
This is one of the best house building videos I have seen ! 👍😎👍
So cool to see how the foundation and cellar were laid qnd built! It was funny after the concrete for the was smoothed out I was thinking how hard it would be not to write something in it and then you showed that you wrote the year in a corner. Can't wait fot the next episode!
Also loved when you were tarring that you were singing a Rolling Stones song! And yes you did paint it black 😂
Woohoo! I clicked so fast! ❤
Watching Justine toss shovelfulls of gravel had me imagine her being a Fireman onboard a Steamboat on the Mississippi! 😁
What a beautiful building site. The whole acreage is amazing. I don't think you could have picked a better piece of land. Congrats!
I’m absolutely THRILLED for you both!! Thanks for bringing us along ❤ I can’t wait to see it being completed ☺️💕
What a beautiful spot! Congrats 🎉 on breaking ground and laying your foundation🌼🌿🇺🇸
Thanks so much!
I really enjoyed watching this. ❤God bless you and everyone watching
So excited for you guys. Get the house built and eventually we will hear wedding bells. Well we won't hear bells but you get the gist of it.♥️🇺🇲
That is truly a solid foundation for a very solid house!!!!
Justine and Ron, this is so exciting! Congratulations!!!! I love your floorplans and the two magnificent houses that inspired your design!
I am so happy for you both, Seeing your home being built is wonderful! Reminds me when my parents built on two large rooms on their house! Looking for more to come, Stay safe and until next time Have a wonderful day and week! 😊❤️🇺🇸
holy crap when you said you were building from the ground up you weren't kidding...that's a hell of a lot of work! I commend you! if you're engagement can survive this process then it's definitely meant to be! ❤️ PS do a MishMish complation video please
It’s a beautiful thing to watch your dreams unfold right before your eyes.
Wow! You're on your way! Can't wait to see the framework and the rest of the house go up. Thanks for telling us about Brandenberger Family Music. I wondered about the lovely song, which sounded Appalachian. I enjoyed listening to the song, and so did Petey and Peeps, my budgies!
I'm so happy you guys decided to share your journey with us in parts so that we can follow along with you! So SO excited to watch your beautiful house be built!
Thank you for sharing this. It brought back a lot of memories when we (parents, brother, and me) built the house that my parents presently live in now. I remember us doing the footing and foundation walls. We live in very south south Texas, so you cannot have basements because the water table is so high. It was hot, long, and hard work. I will confess, I'll gladly do electrical, plumbing, and framing any day over doing cement work. I did more than I ever would like to do of that.
When my uncle built his house, the contractor knew that my aunt canned fruits and vegetables from the family farm and suggested instead of backfilling the area under the front porch when digging the foundation, that they instead turn it into a long narrow room with a door from the cellar. Now Aunt Hazel has a cold pantry approximately 6 foot wide by 25 foot long; the shelves have enough room below them to store fresh root vegetables and are deep enough to hold 6 quart jars in a row. This also saved them money in the long run because the backfill dirt cost more than building the simple pantry! Hope this gives you an idea you can use! We enjoy your channels. We do 1830's Seminole reenacting 😊. Praying that the LORD showers your future home with His blessings. 🙏😃 - David and Patricia J., Florida
I'm so happy for you fulfilling a dream like this is fantastic! May your home be blessed in every way. ❤
Thanks for sharing! So nice to watch your new home being built. You've accomplished so much already!
I'm so glad you two are letting us share your life. Thank you
How wonderful! I am excited for you both. Good jobl👍
What beautiful foundational plans for a wonderful marriage and life. I especially love the stream frontage. Life is just better with the sound of running water.
I love re-enactment and many old things and ways should and must be preserved ... but thank the Lord for modern machinery! Best wishes to y'all.
Bravo to Justine for doing all of the important stuff, and supervising! 💕👍
It’s a beautiful part of the state. Grew up near that area and still have family all over Madison, Iron, and Wayne Counties. It’ll be fun to watch your progress.
I'm looking forward to seeing the homestead go from a dream to a reality. Thank you for sharing this with us.
All that rock could be useful around a homestead, animal enclosure walls, paving, paths, garden borders, etc. Fantastic, I'm so happy for you both.
So excited for y'all. Thank you for including us in the process. I wish you nothing but all the best!
Your land is beautiful and your house is going to look absolutely great…
I actually shed a tear watching the excavator dig up that first bucket full of land! 🥹 I’be been following along with you for a little over a year now and I’m SO happy for you. This is the American dream in any century ❤️
Thank you dear thank you thank you thank you more than any words can say 💜
Thank you for letting us see your homestead journey and what a GREAT way to document the experience!👍❤️😊
Oh my I am so excited for you guys. This is amazing!!!
Your property is beautiful. We are also building a house only ours is a cabin in the woods. I love your choice of music. When I was working at Rich Mountain Nursing and Rehab there was this lady who was in a wheelchair and she was always in motion. She sang this song all the time. She was the happiest person I have ever met. So thank you for that happy memory. I can't wait to see the progress on your house. It is so exciting.
And just so you know that song is now stuck in my head.
How the heck am I just now seeing this!?😮 WOW I can't believe how quickly your house is happening❤ I'm so happy for you!!!
glad you are doing it with modern technology. not just wooden shovels and sticks. lol
This reminds me of the build we did north of Windsor, Colorado. Thank you for the memories! It will be worth it 😊😊
Congratulations on your next ventures in life. I look forward to seeing more.😊
I’m so happy and proud of you all it makes me teary eyed.
You should be able to do something w/ those big flat slabs of rock...patio, fire pit, porch, driveway....something. Or sell it. If people buy that type of stuff from Home Depot for patios or whatever, they'll buy it from you...
How exciting! Thank you for allowing us to watch & share in your dreams ❤
What back-breaking work!!
You guys are living my dream!! So happy for you! Good luck in all you do and thank you for the wonderful content! It's a great pleasure to watch your videos and it's great to see people out there keeping old ways of life alive!
Планировка выглядит интересной и удобной. Желаю Вам скорее построить дом и жить в нём счастливой семейной жизнью!
I am so happy for you guys! It's going to be gorgeous when all is said and done. Praying for the Lord's blessings and provisions, and that all goes well!
Wow what an absolute dream!!! Absolutely stunning. Especially that stream….fly fishing every day. Congratulations I am so excited for you! ❤
I'm so excited for you, Justine & Ron! A beautiful property for a homestead. Great plans for now and expansion. Your hard work is saving lots of $$$. Have a blessed week & I cannot wait to see the next video! xoxo
How flippin' fabulous! So happy for you two. I had to admit that I got a huge giggle out of the first shot of Ron in the white "jammies" with the bucket of tar. Made me think of you sending him off in his clean shirt and all that he managed to get into after. And agree with others, can hardly wait to see what you do with all that lovely rock. LOL. Rock on, you crazy kids! 🥰 from Florida.
Love this!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the progress on this "Old Homestead"!
Fantastic! A homestead fit for a King and Queen!
This is exciting to watch as you build your dream. Prayers for safety of all the workers and you both. It's going to be beautiful.
That rock would make a beautiful stone patio, hearth or chimney fascade. Congratulations on your progress!
Fantastic ❤
I'm so excited to see it all come together little by little!
Wow, you really are putting you blood sweat and tears into that house! Can’t wait for the next update, that house will be amazing!
This is very exciting. Your dreams are coming true, folks!
Thank you for taking us along on your new home journey. Exciting! 😊
The work is hard, but the reward be great. You are building a beautiful home and memories. ❤ I'm very proud of you both.
Congratulations on your ground breaking. I love the road leading up to the home. Cant wait to see Mish-mish sunning himself on the porch.
That was incredible watching how this all came together!!!Wonderful!!!
Congratulations 👏 👏👏 Nice floor plans beautiful country side Wow and the river is gorgeous ❤️ And some nice patio stones 🗝️👍😊🇺🇸♥️
Wow this is great and ambitious also! I was imagining a one story building but you will be building a two story building with stairs! Wow! Fantastic! With that tarring, imagine being "tarred and feathered" as a punishment back then!
That's a beautiful property. Thanks for letting us see your dream come true! Glad you have machinery to move those rocks!
This was so cool to watch, although I would rather make the homemade icecream than tar the house. 😂 You two have to be exhausted every day but this home is going to look amazing. The property is beautiful and the stream also. I was even dancing for you guys to the opening song. 😂
Congratulations! It so fun to watch a first home be built. 🥰My husband and I enjoyed checking up on ours every weekend. Excited for you two!
You got a lot done.
Wow you guys have a slice of Heaven with all that land. I’ve never seen all the steps of building a house before, Very interesting and well filmed. I really enjoyed this video and I’m looking forward to more, Congrats to beginning a whole new life together and best wishes. 👍🇺🇸
I love this series already!
Gosh, I do not envy all of that hard work, but I do know that it's better in the long run to have exactly what you want. Very cool. Respect.
I love you pair!! Watching you, I'm learning so much!! And might I mention that it's very calming watching your videos.
You need to put a time capsule in the walls somewhere. Have a little journal with everyone's name involved with building the house and photos. When it's finished have the capsule in the wall but have it behind glass or perspex then hang a picture over the top. Imagine in 200 years time finding that capsule with the names of everyone involved, photos and dates. That would be amazing😊
Terrific idea.
