I raise two boys and two girls. I wouldn’t trade anything for the memories we all experienced together. Be it at the dinner table or vacations and countless sports games. Guess what, now their are all 30+ years of age, married and now it’s the grandchildren. We regularly get together to celebrate family.
I absolutely love, love, LOVE how you don’t yell at your kids for such a small issue but, instead, teach them how to fix it themselves. Keep being you. Your kids are awesome and I love watching your shows.
I was always under the car with my dad helping him fix something by holding the drop light. I really loved that guy. What I learned was, Get that dang light out of my eyes!!
Always impressed with your "can do" attitude to your various problems that you have encountered. I also remember (many years ago!!!) my kids doing annoying things and me sounding off to them, while you folks talk it through with them and get them involved in the resolution of the problem. As others have said elsewhere - a great education for your kids to face the world in years to come! God bless you all - stay safe and well. Cheers from Scotland
Living in Maine with a 100+ year old house, well I've done that repair a couple of times HA! First, if you happen to have the issue again, think about using a hair dryer... you may laugh, but it's helpful. You have the heater tape, and your last thing is that you could store some antifreeze(animal friendly kind) and pour some into toilets or anywhere that you might have a trap. Good thing to do if you'll be leaving your house for a period of time. Always fun watching your videos, thanks for sharing!
We've used saltwater in the p-traps rather than antifreeze. A lot cheaper, readily made/accessible, and no chance of accidentally using one that isn't safe for animals or putting chemicals in the soil, groundwater supply, etc.
@@keithhogan6997 Great idea with salt water, if it's available. Animal friendly antifreeze is a different color than regular antifreeze, so it shouldn't a problem to mix them up.
Every time I watch your second channel I shed a tear when I watch you and your family have such a great time I am 70 years old , I miss having fun with my family my family all lives out of state but it gives me such great enjoyment to watch you have such a great time love your channel both channels have fun and be safe out there.
Thank you for sharing your real. Great to see the children helping with tasks. No underpenning may have worked some years, but not this year/winter. The lambs are so cute and growing quickly. Our weather here, west of you, is starting to change for the warmer. Hope you will see that soon also. Happy birthday to Haley! Stay safe, warm, and well.
Frozen pipes is exactly why I live in a no freeze climate near the equator where the growing season is year around. I learned the hard way that the utility costs and building maintenance costs are 3 times more living in climate zones that freeze plants and pipes in the winter.
Those lambs sure are adorable. But not as adorable as your 3 children. Looks like everyone had a great time out for Hayden's birthday. Happy Birthday Hayden 🎉🎉🎉 Stay Happy, Safe and Healthy Everyone 💕
Lived in scandinavia all my life. Endured temeoeratures to -50 and never had a frozen pipe.... do it right. No problems. Insulation is the name of the game, save a lot of work!
You may find over the years that the tougher times you had together are often the more memorable times. You'll share "remember when's" and laughter. These are the ties that bind.
Happy Birthday to your handsome 💕 son ! That was a wonderful birthday night 🌙 out ! I'm so glad you were able to fix the pipes and able to cover them with weather protection, 😊👍💕💕💕
Do you have heat tape that only activates when it's below 0°Celsius? Seems to me like a massive energy drain unless this sort of solution is presented. Can't be hard can it? Do you have experience with PEX tubing for water mains supply? Is it more frost-proof?
@@zteaxon7787 Pipes should never be open to the environment. Don't even have to be below zero for the pipes to freeze if there is wind blowing directly at them.
Thank you for brightening my day. Happy Birthday Hayden, you look so handsome in the sombrero. The smile on your face was radiant. We live in Arizona and we have Mexican food at least once a week. Our fav dip is guacamole, could eat it all day. Chuck sounds just like Boston Terrier when he is sleeping. So glad your frozen pipe was a relatively easy fix. Those poor people in Houston with all those frozen pipes in their homes, breaks my heart for what they have ahead. I have decided I will never complain about the heat here in the summer again, compared to what others are going through, what is a heat. Watching your family interact makes me smile.❤️
You two and your children should be "poster children" for the perfect family. I check daily in anticipation. of your next video posting. Since I live fairly close to you in PA I'm with you, this winter weather has got to end soon. My plow service is getting rich off of me.
Little sissy says don’t smash your fingers big brother... ❤️how sweet is that?!? You have a beautiful marriage and blessed with many things. Always keep God first before each other. Enjoy each other and live every day with your family to the fullest.❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
when i grow up i want to be like you two. The debt free off grid home, the cheeky playful relationship, wonderful kids. You guys are awesome. whether it's online or not, enjoy your beautiful family
Before you close in the underside of your house run some strips of led lighting.. it’s cheap and will make working underneath so much better when block off and dark
Though I reside in a two story apartment building in northern Canadastan, I make sure to keep my water cracked open open during cold nights to prevent this, as it happened to me 20 years ago doing major water damage to the apartment below me. Happy Birthday Hayden!
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Have been somewhat binge watching the build playlist and am up to the start of the faux beams. Great work you guys, best build channel.. As a retired Structural Engineer, hard to watch some channels seeing the things that are done. Your build, not at all, you have it right. Jose, great build talent, Erin, just totally AWSOME.
Was Chuck trying to regulate the fun so he could get back to snoring? Y’all are awesome! Thank you for sharing your lives, your journey, and providing us all with good entertainment.
Hey guys just wanted to pass along caution when it comes to heat trace. Get the good stuff!! The kind that is specifically for "can get wet" applications. Ours shorted and burned pretty badly because it got wet. we very easily could of lost it all Love to all
Regrets about the burst pipe - it's nice that you can do your own repairs (obviously)! When it's all enclosed, it will be nice and toasty under the house. Happy birthday, Carter!
I feel like I’m not your typical viewer lol. I’m a 20 year old mom from arizona to my sweet 7 month old son and a fiancé to an electrician. I love this family so much. Your positivity and optimism is truly admirable. Stay warm 🤍
Just in case you EVER wonder...yes, I love you guys!! You encourage and play with each other... and you always make me smile. Who is in charge of filming ALL the nature portions of the video? Josh, it's NOT you...I'm sure. So tell your lovely wife SHE is AWESOME for all of those video portions. They are really a significant part of your videos...and as an artist myself, I LOVE THEM!
Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉 Haiti you guys had a blast of fun,Chuck say quiet he sleeping, Josh donn't let anything get him down he can fix anything👍 ,and teaching the kids responsibility shout out too mom she the best.👌
Happy Birthday Hayden! :) Have to say, your kids are amazing. Always so grateful. Watching Hayden have fun on his birthday was so lovely to see, he deserves it!
Josh, my parents had a cabin in the mountains of Ca and we used to fill the toilet with antifreeze each night if that is the shower, same thing I would say a 1 cup.
We've used saltwater in the p-traps rather than antifreeze. A lot cheaper, readily made/accessible, and no chance of accidentally using one that isn't safe for animals or putting chemicals in the soil, groundwater supply, etc.
I hope they've improved on those pipe warmers over what they were like in the late 80's. My neighbor wrapped his line with one and it melted the pipe. Looks like everyone had a good night of celebrating. Happy Bday.
I totally agree. If I could go off grid and never ever watch or hear anything political I would do it in a heartbeat. So sick of the division and hypocrites trying to tell us to reunite.
I love this channel never a dull moment, teaching your adorable children life skills is of utmost importance, when they get their drivers licence n get a flat ther'l be no 'dad can u come change my tyre' 😁 they'll know how to do it themselves. As for the frozen pipes hmmm 🤔 I seriously dont know how you handle that cold weather, I live in Western Australia 3 hours drive north east of Perth its like a furness here in summer get days 45 degrees celcius, winter gets chilly at night it may reach down to 0 but not very often the average is 2 n 5 but still cold enough for the woodfire stoked, it does snow in the state but thats down in the Stirling Rangers near Mt Barker it gets crisp down there but doesnt snow every year, its a lesson for me though watching what others indure with living conditions in other Countries of our World. Your channel is 1 of the best. Happy Birthday Hayden 🎂
Watching a father teach his son how to use a power tool and put a tire on warms my heart.
Yup, these days you have people call the cops for child abuse for teaching kids such skills.
I love how you allow your kids to help. This is how they learn to deal with life’s challenges.
strongly agree. fallin love with. I'm also hv mine 👨👩👧👦❤🍁
'allow'
:-D
An electrician making his own grid, and then seeing it work successfully, must be pretty satisfying.
Loved the way you handled the buggy. Everyone is part of the solution.
Making memories. That's what life is all about. They will be grown up and gone before you know it. Enjoy every day.
Love 713 But the knowledge they will have of life!
Yes I agree` they all work well together and will learn great team spirit, I just love this family.
I raise two boys and two girls. I wouldn’t trade anything for the memories we all experienced together. Be it at the dinner table or vacations and countless sports games.

My Mom used to say that all the time when I was a child. Then to my children.
This kids are getting the best education in life
I agree!
Totally.
Yes. 😊
Without a doubt.
I agree
Love the lambs...and chuck snoring made me literally...laugh out loud. 😝
The fact that the kids are involved and want to be involved in everything speaks volumes of how incredible you both are as parents.
Happy Birthday Hayden :-)
Teaching the kids to fix thier own mess ups is a good thing. Teaching Mom and Dad about heat tape and insulation is quite another thing!!!
Turning a situation into a teaching moment....how great is that!
Awesome
I absolutely love, love, LOVE how you don’t yell at your kids for such a small issue but, instead, teach them how to fix it themselves. Keep being you. Your kids are awesome and I love watching your shows.
I love how you are teaching your children how to do things and incorporating them in all of your activities. :D
We found cheap plastic tarps around the bottom of the house will make a big difference. Stopping the wind helps immencily.
I was always under the car with my dad helping him fix something by holding the drop light. I really loved that guy. What I learned was, Get that dang light out of my eyes!!
I love how you teach your children so much and that you are so calm with them.
"I don't know how it happened, it wasn't me"....the mantra of my children. 🤣
Your filming style is getting to professional level. Just the scene at Lowe's for example looks very good, camera movements and focusing,
When we raised cattle my wife would keep an eye on the cows with the binoculars that sat on a cabinet by the back door..
Some broken pipe bitter, but some newborn sweet and birthday treats. Happy birthday Hayden!! Wishing you all warmth, happiness, and health!!
Boys wreck buggy!! Meanwhile Elle is laid back in the tire just shaking her head at them!! Lol hahah she is such a daddy’s girl.

Happy Birthday Hayden, and i hope everything is ok at your wonderful place
Wonderful family, nice video editing! It doesn't go unnoticed. Some of us know what it takes to make it look like it was easy.
Exactly!!
That's it
I love this family. Josh is a real man, teaching his kids well, having patience with his wife and showing her stuff. Y'all are an awesome family.
Even Chucky got in the action today! So much he had to take a nap afterwards!

Those lambs sure are adorable. But not as adorable as your 3 children. Looks like everyone had a great time out for Hayden's birthday.
Happy Birthday Hayden 🎉🎉🎉
Stay Happy, Safe and Healthy Everyone 💕
Reminds me of when my son was that age, fun times at the arcade. "Best birthday ever!"
My heart melted when I heard that.❤️❤️
Lived in scandinavia all my life. Endured temeoeratures to -50 and never had a frozen pipe.... do it right. No problems. Insulation is the name of the game, save a lot of work!
Do you realize how man young men do not know how to change a tire. Thank you for teaching them practical skills. You are both fantastic parents.
I love this family,they take everything in stride. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. If only all families were like this it would be a better world.
Early today nice to see you again guys..keep safe always...

God bless you!

What a wonderful family. Happy Birthday Hayden. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Great interaction with your children and each other.
Always a good day when I get your notice !!
Having you kids help fix the problem is good parenting. Good job Mom and Dad!!!!
Well happy birthday on the lad and I see everybody is having lots and lots of fun be safe and don't forget to wrap up the pipes for they don't freeze

"...and that, and that, and that...." LOL.
😂😂 RIGHT!!
Happy birthday to your son! I hate those frozen pipes especially when you have to crawl under the house to fix them. Great video guys!
Y'all's videos always make this old man smile. Happy birthday Hayden, hope it was the best one ever.
Happy Birthday Hayden. looks like you had fun. give chuck a hug from us. stay safe everybody.
These lambs are so cute... it’s such a fine line between cute and delicious.
Another issue solved by the greatest couple on TH-cam.... Great job 👏 Guys and Gals

just wanted to pass along caution when it comes to heat trace.
Get the good stuff!! The kind that is specifically for "can get wet" applications.

I remember commenting on a past video about how you plan to keep those drain pipes from freezing.....
closing in the bottom of the house and heat trace.... neither of which we did 😂
Thought your insurance company gave you a deadline...
@@JoshandErinWWOG I'm pretty sure you guys aren't the only ones with frozen pipes! Plumbers are going to be busy!
@@randalllaue4042 they talked about it on the channel quite some time ago - they restructured the insurance which gave them more time
Probably to hit them with a hot air gun instead of a hammer...
As you already know, allowing the kids to help out and drive the side by side is memories they'll carry forever. Great video.
I laughed so hard I cried when you said "creeper" and she laughed!!
Happy Birthday Hayden! :) Have to say, your kids are amazing. Always so grateful. Watching Hayden have fun on his birthday was so lovely to see, he deserves it!

Lessons that will last a lifetime!

It's so healing to watch real people do real things in an actual life as opposed to lockdowns and psychotic political destruction
