    I am the pack rat that saves every nut, bolt, screw, and straight piece of wood because you never know. I also admire strong woman. My parents raised 5 girls. No boys at all. My father remodeled our 5 bedroom house himself. I was the help. Now at age 64, I can still use any power tool, draw up plans and complete projects on my own. My husband still wants to hire things done.

    Your comment "Nothing is certain but everything is possible" should be a family motto.

Thanks for another great episode.

    Suggestion from a retired firefighter, (no bad comment, Jeremy... remember you might have a firefighter son). I would recommend an oil-filled radiator heater for the tiny house. No exposed heat element and no fan to worry about. You could set up one centrally in the middle of the house and it will convectively heat the tiny home and keep things from freezing. You can't keep adjusting the temp on these as they take a while to heat the room up or cool it down due to convection, so it's a "set it and forget it" operation, but they are very safe, economical and have fall protection. Carry on...

    As you were speaking about going back to spaces, I immediately pictured my childhood home. My parents lived there for over 50 years. I remember the last time I walked out of that house, when my mom sold it and moved to her apartment more than a decade ago. 💔 all of the cement my dad poured with our names and dates, the barn my dad built, the tiny bedroom all four girls shared, the kitchen where my mama cooked 50 yrs of family meals...dad gone in 2006, mom in Dec 2022...I'll always have the memories.

    The mt looks especially beautiful. I love your wonderful family. There is ALWAYS something that needs to be done. With me, it's my garden. Can you leave the windows cracked to air out the tiny house? A family gym is a fantastic idea! 🥰👍

    i like running so i bought a treadmill for the winter months, but it was too big for the house... so i designed an outdoor glass house just for the treadmill, the reason is my home is on a mountain and the view from it is to die for... i now have a 360' view of gorgeous mountains... summer rolling green hills to run across, winter rolling hills of snow... to watch from a warm glass house.

      What a great idea. I can only imagine how awesome you feel after a 'run', while surrounded by such beauty. Mind, body, and soul at work in that glass house. :)

    After having watched your videos for probably the last year, year and a half, I JUST NOW saw the video you posted about selling your home and the anticipated move into the trailer (yeah, I know, I'm a slacker and not someone who has watched every video posted, like, from the beginning). It brought tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat, now realizing the true sacrifice your family has made over the years!! OMGoodness!! I love your new home, I do. But that trailer? And your family of 6 in it?? Your kids were so small. OK, I'll admit. I've not seen the build of the "tiny house" yet. More emotion to come. Amazing. Simply amazing. ❤️

    I can see why the bunkbed was thrown away. When the important support structures are made of 2x2, it's not going to last long. But I agree with Jeremy on saving good wood. Every builder has a scrap pile -- tools of the trade.

    Wow is a word that describes all of your accomplishments. From the first few videos of when you were building your tiny house to the creation of your amazing garden. I've been a dedicated viewer, with each video ending in a culmination of peace, love and understanding of family, growth and dedication. 💕
    Tears, laughter and quiet moments as I observed your dreams coming true. Again "wow" when I realized that you had a "Farm on Route 66" horse, such a coincidence because I love Alan's family and follow them as well. Jimmy Houston is another channel that I follow and again I said "wow" with tears in my eyes as you received the fishing gear and delivered it.
    My soul needed the examples of kindness, thank you.

    If you get a large dehumidifier it will help huge with the humidity and moisture issues. And you can run it all the time if you have it self draining into the sink. Just make sure you have all the doors in the tiny home open for maximum help.

    What a journey you guys have had!! I found your channel when your time-lapse of the tiny home build showed up on my feed, and I've been following ever since. I now follow at least 5 channels that are doing similar things as you guys- moving away from the big city to start a new life for the family and build the dream homestead. You guys are the first family I started following, and my favorite of course. ;) Especially since you have a daughter with the same name as me, lol. You guys have inspired me so much! I look forward to seeing your garage build, and then eventually the new barn build!
