🔨Building a Homestead |Part 2|: Framing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- Watch the Rayfield family and friends get together to frame our future marital home. This occurred over 3 months (summer). It was hard doing this across the hottest months of the year! We are so grateful for everyone who came out to help us. Thank you always and forever!
What sorcery is this! No horses yet your carriage moves? And these garments!
Lol 😂
Not going to lie, I was hoping to see it built 1800s style
That is a great show!!
That’s a BIG house! Congratulations! You’re going to build so many memories in a house you built with your own hands-
and families too
So wonderful. Don't forget to write inspirational messages on the beams so that your love flows from the foundation to the roof! Many blessings to you in your new home!
That is a lovely idea! We'll do that.
May you have a dozen children to fill your home with laughter.
I literally visualized this. Beautiful!
With 2 bedrooms? Hopefully not a dozen...
@@bluetigeress8432 Two words: bunk beds.
Back in the day you would have a dozen children and 3 or four elders all living in a SINGLE ROOM LOG CABIN.
That house is fabulous.
They also showed adding a ground floor master bedroom off the frount room.
Standard house plan back in the day. We have several houses that were build in 1800s with that layout still standing in my hometown today. Very functional.
Be good for generations to come.
Climate change
Building your own house is something else. My dad built a big brick house for our family. It took him 8 years. He decided to start building when my mom found out they were expecting me. We moved in when I was 8 and I remember spending days and growing up on the building site, helping my dad and learning SO much. I'm 30 now and even though I went and explored the world and even found a husband, we returned here and live in this beautiful house with my sweet parents. This is my home, I know every nook and cranny and how things work here because I was there when it was built and I just know that when you make or build something with your own hands, there's part of you in it. Forever. So when my parents are gone, all our memories, love, the energy we put into building these walls and floors, it will all be here. It's a very special project, you two...and even though it may seem like too much at times, cherish the process :) I wish you all the best and I'm sending you lots of love from Slovakia ❤
This is so exciting. Thank you to all who helped and thank you Ron and Justine for inviting us along. God Bless.
Excellent. Good to see folks working together, just as it should be. God bless this house and all who enter.
Amen!
What an incredible experience. A house built on a foundation of love.
Beautifully said ❤
Such wonderful friends to help you build your beautiful home !!! Can’t wait to see more !!!
Congratulations on this beautiful soon to be finished home. My prayers are with you all . Thanks so much for sharing. You're all true Patriots 👍 🇺🇸 ❤
It’s so great that Ron &Justine have a community that will help them build their home!! They’re living the life I always dreamed I’d have! Wishing nothing but blessing for their home and future marriage &family!!
Every time I see videos like this I am so amazed at the things men do. They just lifted those whole walls! Fantastic. I really can't wait to see what this house looks like and I can't wait to see how you make it beautiful. I'll be watching as you build!
Just started following you both last week and I can’t stop watching all of your videos. You’re both a breath of fresh air and I wish the best for you two. Your home will be beautiful! 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for joining us for this wild ride 💘
I don’t know if it’s the way the camera is showing it but that is one big house you guys! It’s going to be beautiful!
For us Senior citizens it’s an exciting thing to see young people starting their lives like this with so much to look forward to!
May God bless you with health, happiness, love, and may you always stay close to Him in all you do. 👍🏼🙏🇺🇸
Y'all are so blessed to be able to build off-grid.
What a great house for Mish Mish and you two! May you have a wonderful life!
We are building this new house for MishMish ❤. We are only the caretakers there. 😅
Love the older square body Chevy, and y'all are doing a great job on the house, can't wait to see it complete.
Just saw this tonight. It was fantastic to watch how everyone worked together. It was good to see your Dad and Randy had tears in my eyes as I watched y’all worked together. Many blessing for the two of you in the coming years. How I miss the Rayfield family but you will always be in my heart till I pass and that might be soon. God bless you and congratulations on the wedding it was fantastic.
It's awesome to see everyone come together to build. That is what community is all about. Love the videos!
Great job building the house and the video as well. It's similar to my house, built in the 1700s and added onto twice in the 1800s. May you have long, happy healthy lives in this beautiful home =)
Homestead? Looks like a mansion. I hope you guys plan on having lots of kids.
Funny how homesteading/building your own home is the new "counterculture." Happy ya'll are living it😊
This will be awesome to show your future children💕 Can't wait to see it finished!! And NO ONE deserves this fine house more than you two do. It is beautiful. Built with love and it's walls will be filled with love. And lots of good food. I love you both so much. And Mish Mish too. I am so proud of you guys and all you have accomplished.
That's gonna be a grand home!
I’m actually to see you guys how you really are in 2023! Always great to see you in the 1800s too!
This is incredible and beyond impressive! I wish everyone had the opportunity to build their own house. What a rewarding experience. Well done!
How exciting! Starting your marriage in a house you built with your own hands! What a blessing to have friends and family to help build it! So many memories to share over the years!
So exciting! Building your own home on your own patch of paradise. Congratulations!
Not me also just admiring everybody's old boxy vehicles! Love the Chevy and Jeep!
You need to bury/ incorporate a time capsule for 100 years from now. What a great experience for you. And it’s HUGE!
Justine, you are an amazing trooper! I’m happy for you both; what a team!!
So happy for the progress!😊🎉 BLESSING PRAYERS the rest goes smooth with the cooler weather upon us!
🙏 PLEASE READ THIS!!🙏
If it's another hot day, Ron since you HAD A HEAT STROKE, if weather is hot again & you're working on the house, PLEASE take the DO- RAG you wear sometimes & SOAK it in COLD WATER, then wring out & put it on BEFORE working in the heat! MUST Change it out & RESOAK it PERIODICALLY. It WILL act as a radiator to keep your temp down, not overheat! Justine, taking a linen cloth soaked in water to drape around your head & neck & in your ankle stockings while or after cooking over the cabin fire in summer months too. If fainted toward the fire as heat strokes come on quick... I say this only with MUCH LOVE FOR YOU BOTH & YOUR SAFETY.
One last thing, since Ron HAD a heat stroke, it can make one prone to more! DURING A HEAT STROKE, IT'S CRUCIAL TO DO THIS: Take wet cloths dipped in cool water & wrap them around ALL THE PULSE POINTS, & SHOVE THEM UNDER ARMPITS DURING THE STROKE / recovery period, OR pour cool water on all the pulse points, head, & armpits along with what you did of water drinking & getting Ron into the AC in the car asap. Medically, the cold wet compresses on pulse points etc help bring your BODY BACK to SAFE TEMPERATURE FASTER so you DON'T have a seizure effect on the brain like you had.😢 I cried when you shared your story as I've been through it & love you both.
Sorry if my story is TMI but heat stroke is NO JOKE it's a serious thing. My story too...I found this out divinely given info as a child 10 or 11 yrs old during a summer when I'd have to remain in a vehicle not running AC for long periods while my care giver had to take me with them on job service calls, him doing office equipment repairs inside. These caregivers delegated over my care couldnt afford childcare & knew not of any heat danger, it was an innocent unawares. But I too had a heat stroke as a child but was DIVINE saved. I was literally given the info via holy spirit on how to make cold wet cloths/compresses at 10 yrs old! Given knowledge via a dream the night after I'd had the stroke, a guide telling me to roll up wetted paper towels in strips, put in the fridge freezer of that care givers office kitchen, since they knew not I was in danger of repeat heat stroke or that I'd had one. When i had it, I was drenched in sweat crying in the car, I opened the car door & I leaned out of the car started shaking, felt going to vomit or faint, couldnt make sound anymore from crying either. Id been fanning myself with my book before that. But when i unlocked & opened the car door & leaned out, i was hit INSTANTLY with COLD WIND GUSTS OUT OF NOWHERE ON a 100 DEGREE SUMMER DAY.✝️ Furthermore his service call was at a church office beside a church that was named after a Saint. Hmmm. It was BOTH a scary & later recognized in adulthood as one of many spiritual experiences id have in saving my life many times over through life. Another time a near drowning. Opposite of need for water. But from then on, when I had to sit in the car during his service calls if they were 30 min up to an hour or more at a time in the heat...I'd get back to his office after sat in the car, near to pass out, go grab those wraps & apply them to cool down again whilst I hid my wet paper towel wraps in back of their office kitchenettes freezer. Applied them on all my pulse points (neck wrists ankles forehead armpits etc) & drank lots of water before & after leaving. I'd put the cold wet wraps in my shirt & ankles under my socks. I'd say had to go to restroom before leave & do that so I'd stay cooled, hydrated, & id wet my hair in the bathroom sink so as not to pass out from the heat while no choice but to be left in the car in 90 to 100 temps for extended periods every day in the summer. Important to note- my caregiver was a good law abiding soul who just DIDN'T UNDERSTAND the dangers of heat back then in the 1970s & 80s. But id dream of being with other kids at the pool or not inside a furnace room when not on service calls. I did have books though including little house from 1800s etc. Lol. But that dreams knowledge to use compresses & wet my hair first, it literally SAVED MY LIFE after I had a heat stroke that was bound to continue every day the rest of the summer had I not known to do that!!
SO PLEASE BE SAFE! And read this CRUCIAL INFO WHAT TO DO TO PREVENT & TREAT HEAT STROKE WITH SEIZURE!! Since you BOTH do work & film in non AC cabin with a fireplace going in the summer. I WANT YOU BOTH SAFE. Love you both & your 2 channels! Many blessings on your upcoming marriage! Love,
Michelle, your neighbor from KS.
PS: Visiting St. Genevieve MO historical town is one of my bucket list things to do & take my adult children & grandchildren to do as well as dream to take them to Branson someday. To show My caregivers did try, one year they did take me to Branson another summer when abled to afford to do more. I loved it there. I don't travel much at all with many health conditions now. But I do RECOMMEND your channel & recommend to others to TOUR St. Gen for a weekend getaway, as its a road trip away from my town. If you two ever make it to Hutchinson KS, we have some VERY neat historical places you'd both enjoy, antique shops with old rare items, as well as the local state fair, an underground museum with things of old preserved there- including wonderwomans uniform, and my personal FAVORITE attraction- the cosmosphere which has many wonderful things from NASA & space 'exploration' so to speak. ✨️😉. That would be a fun thing, our historic museum etc, for you to show & discuss on your channel. I just watched your last historic home you toured that just had posters only. So i also recommend president Eisenhower's generational family childhood home in Abilene KS, on the way to my town. It's been preserved authentic & abled to tour through. Even his fathers pipe sets on the table in a case. You'd enjoy it too. Hopefully someday I can attend an historic festival in St Gen & meet the two of you. I have No Doubt You're both going to be future elder leaders of your community, I forsee. And Justine, I'd love to try some of your historic receipts. You are an AMAZING cook! I love the way you (both) showcase the way of life back then peacably & their hardships too. Life was much simpler in many ways but much harder work in many other ways, & lack of knowledge & science. But everyone supported one another as a community back then too to help the young sick poor & old. Family members were looked after & cared for in their old age by the younger generations vs a more independant engrained ideology in the modern age that pushes prevention of that with facilities for elders etc or family seperations became so common vs lifetime bonds they always were without interruption back then. So many lovely things about that by gone era as well as so many tragedies. Like the Little House books I loved as a child, I read to my children & grandchild too that showcased family values, togetherness for entertainment, a simplicity of the heart even though lacking modern science & technology, food hadn't cancerous preservatives either though not convenient to grab & go. It had many struggles but also had great ways of doing things, & thriving too. The goal of progress leaders started surfacing back then too with founding fathers dreams for america for ALL to be free. It is so neat you two shed light on those historic ways & give historic true stories.
Lastly, I can't wait to see the finished home! How modern meets historic within it too, im intrigued. As always, praying everyone, you your families & your friends in the community REMAIN SAFE while working through the REST OF THE BUILD, & whatever needs done in the WINTER WEATHER months. Prayers you get the insulation, siding, doors, & windows in before the first snow or cold temps set in. May you continue MANY blessings, along with your lovely community as well! Much love! This ended up being a big long post. Sorry about that but hope it caught your attention on how to react to & prevent heatstroke as best possible. 😊🤍🕊💜⚜️☮️✌️
I didn’t even recognize you two in modern clothing! I’m glad “Frontier Patriot” on the posting. 😂😂😂I love watching you guys.
Love your house design! 😏 Welcome to the 1800's!! Look forward to seeing how you finish up. I bet Kandye will be excited to help decorate too. Yay!!
Wild to see you both in regular clothes 😄Congratulations. This home is already beautiful 👍🏼🙏🏻
Congratulations on your new house built, lots of people pitched in to make this possible for you, and how wonderful. I wish you many happy years in this home. Full of love and laughter.
Congratulations, folks. It's coming along beautifully. Can't wait for the wedding! 🎉🎉🎉
So excited for y'all. My husband and I built a log home many years ago. Such fond memories.
Amazing work … so impressed… the love nest after the wedding … you go Ron & Justine … love you both
We're in the process of restoring an 1830 farmhouse, basically from the foundation up. It's so nice to see all the work you've done. It's going to be beautiful.
Awesome job that's why I admire carpenter!
How exciting! Brings back memories of when we built our house! We too built a two bedroom, two bath house in the middle of no where, but we do have plumbing and electricity, but no central heat or air. Basic life is best!
Its looking good! Can't wait for the next video! 2 thumbs up 👍 👍
Also, I love the layout of your home and the views you'll have. Your land just looks like it has soooo much potential, cant wait to see you gardening and baking in your new home!! Beautiful forest and landscape:)
That was REALLY interesting. I would love to watch many more of these. The filming and music was fantastic.
Great job. Getting all those walls up required lots of careful measuring, Mission accomplished ...Helped my husband put up walls too when we built our house... Now we are in a different place, purchased a 2009 built home ( nice to have a great basement ) and we are pulling out all the cheap pre-finished stuff and replacing with wood we mill on site, and then all gets hand planed, so we too can have an 18th century home.... Good insulation, metal roof, plumbing is a plus. We have hand pumped water too.... Nice to see your project and look forward to see more of this homestead as it grows and matures...
Yay! Your house is wrapped for the winter!
Glad to know you will have plumbing. Makes life so much easier for you. 😊😊
You two are so blessed that you found each other. You are a perfect pair.
WOW, how exciting!! Congratulations Ron and Justine!! I think all will be ready in time for the wedding!! Blessings.
My 9 year old son, Carrig, and I love watching your channels! He Is very excited for you folks and your new home. He thinks "you could fit 8 kids in there...if you got them bunk beds." LOL Congrats 🎉
Thanks for taking so many videos, as it was so interesting to see how your home is being built - board by board. You are both very lucky and blessed to have family and friends helping you along the way! I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece!! Many blessings and well wishes to you both!
So proud of you guys. You deserve living in the home of your dreams. 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's soo cool 😊 Watching from Brazil. ❤ I love you guys...
thank you Ruth!!! :)
If you ever wanted to add a washroom ( bathroom without a toliet) put it on the back of kitchen. Where the plumming . Its where it is in most old homes. Also where is the well being dug? Or are you just using the stream? how far is the stream? Make sure you have a clear path in winter. ( hauling water takes time allow an extra hour during chores for it)
So are we getting a garden and a chicken coop next year?
And write a time capsule letter and maybe each add a photo of yourselves and or personal item that blesses your love and devotion! Then bury it into the wall of the hearth !!! I’m super excited for you both! How you got approved for building a real off grid home is really impressive! You should tell us how you came up with the idea and how it got approved!!! I hope to visit one day!!! Congratulations you two!
If y'all held a "Help us build our house" event, all your fans would love to come out and help. We will have it done way before your wedding!!!
Impressive watching y’all move those sheets of OSB! Those things are heavy!
They are heavy 😮. They're a lot heavier than they look
My puppy absolutely LOVED watching this and then tried to eat one of your walls 😂❤️ your house is looking amazing - thank you for sharing this process!
Love it!
You have enough room for a dozen children.
Next time I build a house. I will be calling Ron’s, Friends and Family Construction Company.
Loved when all the men lifted up the sides of the house. Reminded me of the scene in "Witness" when the Amish get together to build a house. It's lovely to see family & community working together. What a wonderful experience building your own house (a what a house ! )with all the great memories that you will make, some of which, hopefully, you will show us. Kind regards
Love that ❤basement. You got the roof on. I'm so proud of you
Amazing!! 🥰 It must be so satisfying knowing that you built your house from the ground up! Love it! 😍 "A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work." Colin Powell.
Amazing my dear friends wishing you many beautiful blessings 🙏
So good to see all these people helping you. You're gonna have many many memories in this beautiful house. God bless

Seeing just the structure of this beautiful home is so amazing! I’m excited to see how you two will decorate and make it your own. I’ve watched you two for a while now, and am so happy to see your lives growing. The floor plans for the house are so so cute, it reminds me of my Pinterest “Dream Home 🤍” board!
I can’t wait for part 3! Love you guys🤍
GREAT video guys! I'm a retired carpenter and framed our house with the help of two friends. i was 45 at the time. This video brings back memories of that time. Thanks! Good job looks nice and tight.
You have a lot of room for at least 12 children! Would you believe that I was doing the same thing in 1961. Good work, Rick 😅
This is almost exactly like my house :) 1832 I-house is mine and you did the same shape lol They are good houses with lots of room :)
May you have many happy years in this beautiful house with many beautiful children.
This is so, so exciting!!! Bring on the wedding!!!❤❤
That's going to be a wonderful home Ron and Justine best wishes to the two of you

That's awesome, you are blessed. Has to be great to have family and loved ones with talent and hearts to help. I bet that site smelled amazing with the fresh earth and fresh cut wood.
Love the smell of lumber ! Enjoy your new home and happy wedding !
Okay, now that I've watch the video in its entirety, I'm weeping. The community, fellowship, family, friends are beyond the love I can imagine. BTW, I worked for a roofing company for many years, (accounting, not braun.) I've seen many a roof walked and installed. A giant bravo to your roofer friend.
❤❤❤
