You kids are posting for us people that appreciate what your doing. Ignore the complainers, they are the ones that complain about everything. They buy stuff only to return, they eat out and complain about the food, their life is miserable because they see nothing good in stuff or people. I love watching you every week
Amen sister
Amen!!
Yes
So true ❤
💯% Agree
I'm 80 and I truly appreciate the beauty you have created from your so called junk! Outstanding!
You absolutely SHOULD be proud of you new old barn!!❤
Too much "junk: laying around??? NO, it's BUILDING MATERIALS and such that you will continue to use as you build and develop your place. You don't live in suburbia where you have to "keep up with the Jones". You are on a homestead where you are continually doing one project after the other and look at all that "junk" on the barn and how great it turned out!!! And you repurposed (recycled) some items and created patterns and design out of leftovers for a unique building that will serve it's purpose for you and the goats. You have been very creative and saved money using what you have. Great job!
And the repurposed items will just get better looking as they age from the weather and seasons. 😊
What junk? I only see potential material for future projects! Look at what you've built (and continue to build) with what some may call junk! You've burned the crappy wood and done loads to the dump. What more do ppl want?
We have a hoa that a lot of fun too. I’m VP and keep your junk in back yard.
Junk to them is useful,stuff for you folks, that’s why it’s there. Awesome job folks👍👍👍👍
one persons junk is another persons treasure
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. What you can keep out of the landfill is important. Keeps the cost down
This is a really good "Off Grid Living"channel without a doubt. It is honest, factual, shows the issues, concerns and battles necessary to live the life. There is however a rather special message in this channel and that is the fact that Greg allows Katy to fully engage and partake in all aspects of the builds/development of the homestead. Before everyone shoots me down for sexism I also want to say how Katy pushes her abilities and skills into the mix. As a couple they feed each others independence and development. An incredible couple who grow off each other and work in unison to achieve the objective. Love these guys.
Was thinking the same thing how Greg allows Katy to learn new skills. I got to work with my brother on remodeling house and on my own house remodeling. I'm 79 now so thankful for all he taught me, being widowed at an early age the skills came in very handy, was able to teach my sons when they got older some the thing I learned. Great couple like watching the videos. Great word andrewmaiden !
Ignore any comments from people that don't live of the land,they haven't got a clue, carry-on in your own way,I love everything that you two do. 🐐🐶🐔
You kids are amazing to me. I'm 72 and enjoy your projects and sometime silliness with Greg teasing you. You remind me of our early years setting up our home and yards with my deceased wife. Thank you for helping me remember.
That is a beautiful sentiment my friend, keep the memories and please share them with others so they are not lost forever. ❤❤❤
I’m 73 luckily my wife is still alive, but I feel the same way as you. Wonderful to watch these two youngsters making their way off grid. May they continue to grow and enjoy their lives together.
Love your videos...never want them to end. The barn looks great. Love the rustic quality. Thank you for sharing all your hard work. Homestead is looking better and better! ❤❤❤
You kids are getting it done! The new barn looks amazing
Y’all did an outstanding job on the barn. It looks so good, with the rustic finish.Both of you appear to be more confident,& comfortable with each task. I really enjoy this channel,& so proud of how far you’ve come. Keep up the great work!💯👍🏾😀🫶🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I think you are doing a great job reusing so many things for many useful projects!
Wow, it's turning out awesome, I'm loving what y'all are doing with the pattern of the sidings. Awesome job you two!
So many of our precious resources are dumped, building sites are so wasteful, I love your efforts and the design here is gorgeous ❤
Despite this project being mainly for the use of your animals, you two have created something that looks wonderful. Stong structure and lovely design touches, and all using material you already had. What a result. I hope you're both feeling proud!
You two are awesome. This is by far my favourite TH-cam channel. When I think back how far you’ve come over the last years it’s amazing. You’re a credit and an inspiration to a generation. Best wishes from North Yorkshire, England.
Repurposing what you have is great. What a phenomenal job on the barn and your house!! All those ideas swirling around in your head are coming to fruition!
Katie. Katie Katie great job
Makes me wish I was 30 years younger, loving your postings , 77 and living in Newfoundland
Enjoyed today's barn walls and door, looking great , a effort well earned by hard work and creativity.
The Barn is looking Great.!!!
Wonderful looking barn. P.S. "One person's junk is another person's treasure". It will all come together.
Don’t ever listen to us! 😮😂 The barn is looking awesome and the good thing is you haven’t really spent hardly any money on it from just using the things you had around. I think that’s the best part!! 😊❤ Also, I can’t WAIT for baby goats!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Your New Barn Looks Incredible!!! Congratulations!
Ignore the City people's comments. You live in the country.
Amen to that! I honestly can not believe that some people are so very RUDE. This sweet couple are so hard working and paying for things as they go, I believe. And even if they aren’t, they are very careful with money and spend it wisely. How many of us older people can say that? If things are always neat and tidy, get outside and get dirty!
I've seen alot of City peoples places that are a whole lot worse...😅
I appreciate that you guys reuse, waste not want not. Plus, as you do any project, you have to gather stuff for that project. The barn/ work area looks great. Now you have a place to store things.
Many talk about upcycling, these beautiful people is truly doing it.
@K Ask G to show you how to carefully lift the front edge of the boards so you can cut that little part first. No need to flip board over....bring saw down - lift front of board up an inch or so. Then finish the cut. Time saver...
Dude, the barn looks really sweet!
thanks. We are loving how it is all coming together!
Wow - guys that looks freaking awesome!!!!!!!! And Katie showing some serious carpentry skills on that siding. Great job!
One man's junk pile is $$$ well spent. Great job on the barn!!!
One question?,
Will you guys build a Barn for milling and storing cut wood on hand to use on future projects and possibly a wood working shop? 👍🏻
never junk allways comes in use if you keep it long enough good job you are doing keep it up.
Katie hats out to you. You have grown so much handling the chores on the farm. Proud of you, 👍👏🎉🦋❤🖐
You guys rock! William Morris lives on, you have made something both functional and beautiful. I love watching you both work so well together, thank you for sharing .
Absolutely fabulous job you two. Makes my day when I can catch up with you two from Australia. Makes this 84 year old great great grandmother very happy.🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺
Having fun is how you learn and become more creative. Really enjoying this barn journey. Thank you
Hi Guy’s! Awe…. 2 kid’s already Congrats. Beautiful job on the barn. I love symmetry too Katie🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
What you have lying around is YOUR business, and nobody has the right to say anything about it. Sheesh, people can get so judgemental! Ignore them and live your life the way you want to. You two are fantastic people. And your barn is beautiful!
Country folk like to have supplies ready at any time they need to repurpose or fix something...it is not that they can go to the local lumberyard at a moments notice....good work
The chicken crying "get the camera off my face..." Brilliant transformation.... keep doing it at your pace.. and Gregg smiling more often now.
useful on the inside and beautiful on the outside , that's all it should be
You are inspiring, recycling and reusing existing materials, great work! A suggestion, in the closing shot, you should stand in front of the completed work so that the viewers can take an extended look at the barn.
Say I truly like the look of the addition, from the skylight to the bottom of the old door. Amazing work guys 👏.
Your junk piles are treasure piles. You both build the addition all from treasure pieces except nails and roof panels. That is fricken amazing❤❤
😊 You both are doing the greatest job. Not messy, these is art in progress 😊.
And Great Music.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the HUGE windows and the siding!!!! This “BARN” is looking AWESOME!!!!!
Forget the grumpy people! The barn looks great. I really like the way you mixed up the siding.
The barn looks AWESOME ❤ don't worry about what other people think or say. You both do amazingly great work.
Don’t listen to people your place is beautiful!You two are hard worker’s and we love watching you😍
Taking shape. The windows just perfectly accent each side making the rustic part pop, while adding some modern flare to it. The old man-door sets off that look to make it look more like a cabin in the woods than it does a goat barn. Love the work and the channel. Keep it up!
I think the barn/work shop looks good. I really like the door you reused, it adds a lot of character. Very happy to see the progress you've made on the property. ☺️
You both don’t need to justify any mistakes on your work….the siding looks great…workshop looks great… your carpentry skills have gotten so good…I’ve been with you both since almost the beginning…now it’s time to to find a side hustle out of that shop with wood you mill from property…everything looks great!
YOU GUYS HAVE AND ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB! YOU MAKE US OLD RECYCLERS PROUD.
Love you guys.Some people are not nice. Reusing things are great for some of us. Hi from Colorado Springs 😀
You need more junk. Junk can be useful for many things . Parts ,building supplies. The one that tell you. You have to much are going to be the ones that don't have enough when things get hard. And you live in the mountains.
The barn is really looking good. It is great how both of you can work and do the jobs needed. Kaites does Gregs jobs and then changes up and Greg does Katie's. -- a real working team.
That door is so complimentary to the whole scene that it would be impossible to find something else that would look better!
The Rustic barn is BEAUTIFUL. Love the door. A wonderful addition to your property. ❤
It's your yard. I bet their yard is worse. Been watching your channel since you started building your home. You really have done a huge amount of work. Your doing ok, God bless both of you.
Your channel is by far my number one favorite channel. Just love your videos Gregg & Katie.
Nothing wrong with keeping parts and pieces of new projects around. It's not junk, it's like a saving's acount in the bank!
Katie, what a great assistant you have there. You’ve trained him well.😅 The new construction looks amazing BTW.
I would call your old/new barn " Rustic Chic". Looks great! your whole property is shaping up beautifully. I used to live in Banff....and I loved living in the mountains. You have / are creating a beautiful life. Its wonderful to be a part of (from this viewer's end). Love from Montreal!
Love the barn.!!Enjoy watching your progress.
Great project. Excellent framing out and siding. The facility will be a productive part of your homestead. A place for goat husbandry and a workshop to set out all of your tools etc. A ‘production centre!’ Glad you take pleasure in your labour. You are both so resourceful. Thank you for the video. Phil, Suffolk, U.K.🇬🇧
That's a great looking barn - well done on the design and execution. So appreciate how much you recycle, re-use and re-purpose. And I am so glad you'll have a workshop to store and use permanently all the various tools and table-top machines. I'm sure you're looking forward to it too. As one of the contributors who commented on the stuff lying around, I live in the country and know the temptation to have various discard and re-use piles but your attempts to minimise these is really helpful for you. It's more about an approach to work than anything else. I guess I'm just old-school and never think a project is completed (even for the day) unless I put away everything and pick up the off-cuts, debris and wrapping. Anyway, I really appreciate the work you do and the ingenuity and the resilience. Keep going and ... keep it tidy ;)
A shoot of the whole barn at the end would have been nice. I'm just eager to see how it all looks together. Great job guys!
Some people might think it’s a junk but one day you could repurpose it. Good job.
It looks perfect, the mix of materials and colours is just right, the old door could not be a better match and contrasting the sections definitely gives the whole thing a customised look. Be proud of yourself. Enjoy the milling, Greg 🙌🏼🫶🏽❤️xx
I don't see junk I see stuff that can be recycled. The barn looks awesome!!! THANKS FOR SHARING STAY SAFE!!!
I absolutely Love the design and the configuration of the different wood you used. The Barn looks Amazing and Katie you smashed it with getting on doing the covering whilst Greg was at the mill. I have accumulated stuff over the years but always found I could use it on projects.
See you both soon, love ya ❤️💙xx
Repurposing bits and bobs in the barn build. Having some fun mixing glass windows, old doors, mixed wood/siding. Mire rain than sun.
Don’t ever throw anything away, where you live,you will eventually need it. Thanks
This is an out building and many people would just throw it up. The attention to detail and the quality of your work is amazing. Great job!!
The windows look really nice on the barn. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Your place looks great. People who don't live out of town have no Idea what it takes to live on property. keep up the good work and forget about the haters. The hard work you put in in one day would kill most of the haters......
One great 👍 Couple. America loves both!😇!😇!😇!
Greg, Katie, I have been in construction for over 50 years, I have found if your going to make a omelette you have to break a few eggs, building is inherently messy, those that know, know. Those that have nothing better to do than criticize, more than likely they sadly have very little substance to their lives, I have watched you two over the years build a beautiful piece of paradise in the Canadian Mountains, don’t pay any attention to the noise, as there is always some talking head who has a all knowing opinion and nothing constructive to say. You guys do you. In my humble opinion you are doing a awesome job, I only wish I was younger and still had the energy to do it again. You guys rock! I will watch from afar when you guys share. Thanks for taking us along, I for one appreciate you both. Saying hello from hot sunny Florida USA. 👍
Love watching you both work together as husband and wife striving for a common goal, to better your life. Keep going strong.
Junk???? Don’t they know you live on a homestead? Nothings junk it’s just not yet used building materials!!!! 😊
I'm 61 years old, an Army Veteran, and I'm a big fan of your channel. I'm making plans to do something similar if I can find the right land. Here in Western Pennsylvania we don't get enough sunlight to warrent solar. I need land with a downhill running water for a hydro generator. Eddie
Why does everyone have to mention how old they are?
You two are just the bestest thing ever. Ignore the naysayers they need to get a life. You have all those creatures to look after and they would never complain
I have been following your build and everything you build is amazing! Even your "Goat" barn is classy! Love it!! And watching the two of you work together is heartwarming. More people should follow your example.
Katie you and Greg are doing a wonderful job, Don't worry about what other people are saying about you, it's your place, may God bless you and Greg and keep you Safe, you guys are awesome 👍
I love the new Katie (hope I spelled it correctly....) She's confident, in charge, and skilled.
Greg your a lucky man Katie reminds me of my wife all the jobs i used to do she was there with me up to her elbows in muck battling along with me supporting me and then i look at so many of todays youngsters and think you need to wake up and smell the roses I'm in no sate now due to a tumour of the spine but it means i apricate what you do so much more. look after her in this day and age she is a rare commodity
On an off grid homestead....junk IS treasure. Metal scrap pile is a source of material fro random projects, That pile of random bricks, may just turn into a wood fired oven.....or perhaps a structure is a creek bed for a semi clean water source. Who cares what "THEY" want for your homestead. You are the ones letting us peak into your life.
I lived rural for 40 years and you don't toss stuff when you're a long ways from town. The so-called junk saved my bacon on many occasions. Keep up the good work.
I just admire y’all for handling stupid comments. Who would be so asinine to make a comment on what YOU have in YOUR yard.
Y’all are building! Y’all constantly pick up and clear things. People need to get a life. Y’all do an awesome job you keep going doing a bang up Job!!!!!
The barn looks like a quilt, I really love when you path those old woods , window and leftover , actually it does looks beautiful, I just love it , don’t burn the leftover wood , save it for ❄️ time , I’m just enjoying watching your channel , love to see the pets too
The barn looks great. You're lucky to have Katie. My wife won't even come out in the backyard. And she's getting good.
I say organized chaos for future projects. The barn is looking so good. I love when bits and pieces come together. Peace.
Piles of build material equal huge savings, I wouldn't worry about negative comments. I love repurposing, I look for things I might need, too. Problem is I sometimes forget where I put them.
Greg,u might misinterpret those words about too much junks and whoever said don't know that u can still use what is considered junks. To repair or build shelter for ur livestock. Kudos to both of you putting in all ur energy and effort to improve your life style the way u desire. Godbless
Your new old barn turned out fantastic. Alan
Since I started watching your videos. I go back and watch your older ones, and I absolutely watched them more than once ! As far as people knocking anyone. I had someone making fun of my fence. I say if you don’t like my fence fix it, they can pay for it. Stop judging anyone till you walk in their shoes!! Keep the great job up.
" Simple Living Alaska " comes in the top FIVE with your channel
Don’t listen to them I man’s jack is another man’s treasure and your treasure is to build with as required.😊😊😊😊
I have been building for 40 years and can tell you from experience that "nothing is perfect" If your happy with it, that's all that matters, in most cases.
One man's junk is another man's gold
That barn is looking amazing Greg's a great carpenter learning as you go😂😂❤the videos also one man's junk is another one's treasure ❤God Bless you ❤️
