    Divine magic to have James leading your build. Without him you might just be making a stick frame place. Beyond luck that you picked property there. As much detail as you can capture on the construction, is welcomed. Very fulfilling to see the entire process. As always, you guys are cool people. One of the few worthy channels to justify spending 20 minutes of time.

      He is easy going( James), because he is an accomplished man !! In what I see ...a true artisan!!! At 70 years old yesterday, I ,would love to be there n be an apprentice for him!!! It appears as though he is one of those folks that has the wisdom n knowledge of the ages!!!! Jus sayin 🤷!!

    Aww y’all this video making me a little emotional ngl. It’s so inspiring to see where you’ve come from. I started watching you when it was the scamp and the Mini Cooper, to now y’all building your own home! I am really hoping I can get my own mobile home next year and have some room to spread out outside of my 24ft camper I’ve lived in since 2019. I’ve been saving and hustling to try and make my dream a reality. I am trying to convert a shed on our family land into a cabin to be a little more comfortable through the winter this year, but we shall see. Weather, personal growth, work, and other projects have reduced my available time.

    Elsa and Barron, I'm sorry, but these videos just aren't long enough. Seriously though, its a joy seeing the home come together. One of the aspects I think about is after the home is done and you're all moved in, as you walk around you'll see some aspect and a memory will spark from when you were building it.

    I do have a question. I notice, as the home building progresses, that there are many men involved and you tend to be the only woman around during the work. Are the women in your little community (Doreen, etc) more versed in the home side of things? I'd be like you, loving the mechanics and wanting a hand in every step of the process, all of the learning, so I just wonder where are all the women? 💜

    • @ElsaRhae
      @ElsaRhae  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That’s an interesting observation. Mike is one of our good friends who’s staying on our land right now, he’s helping all the neighbors and is just a super helpful hand to have around. Of course we’ve got James around all the time. Doreen isn’t always over at our place helping with projects bc it’s James’ expertise and she’s at her property building and maintaining their new space they acquired this summer. Same with Brad’s wife. I suppose a lot of the labor lately too is stuff that requires heavy lifting. I think when we get into more of the detail work that requires more finesse and patience we will have a flip flop from men to women!! Doreen specifically is the master of finish work and I’m excited to learn from her. Thanks for this question and your sweet comment!🤍

    About your squashes - I take smaller ones like yours, the more winter ones, and cut them in half. Then I place them in the skillet, cut side down in about 1/2" water and some butter, put a cover on it and basically poach it until the meat of the squash is soft.
    Some times more water is needed for a particularly stubborn squash.
    Most of them are yummy that way,
