I am SO very pleased for you. I remember when you first moved into the trailer. I have been following your journey as you built your dream, the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. I remember when you guys were scared that the snowstorm was going to collapse the trailer roof, when you were afraid that the tall, snow-laden trees were going to snap, fall and crush your trailer and when your only water source froze. You have worked so hard, so long, so consistently. You never gave up, even though I know there were many times that you really felt like calling it quits. But you didn't. You always, always found a way. Nothing stopped you. There were tons of obstacles, things that would have made lesser souls walk away, but not you guys. I can't even begin to express how proud I am of what you have done, the example you have set and I look forward to everything you are going to do in the future.
Dodo on everything Chuck said ,except I started B4 you even had trouble with town ,that caused you to look four somewhere else to live !!! It has been a fantastic journey for sure...hope some day we can get an inside tour of everything finished n pics. Of your girls n abit of update on what they want after college...all in good time ❤️💪power to you both, love your videos n the "dirt" sessions take care ,God bless, been out of it myself since May 2022 so that's why I'm late to see this vlog of yours,still not good ,got 50 % more to go ...to get back my health !!! Long time since that very first video that you first put out ...kind of miss them Jamie...n Jeremy, love your beautiful workmanship on everything that you do...Jamie,,do you still paint!!?
Ditto !!! 💕🙏🏻👍
I remember watching before the channel even existed!
... was soo amazing, even more proud!
Me too! Have not tuned in for a long time.
Can't believe I've been following this channel for 5+ years lol. I started following your channel because of your canning videos! My husband and I have built 2 houses from scratch but wouldn't do it again in this financial climate either. Enjoy your beautiful home!
Congratulations guys! You so deserve the beautiful home you built, and to live long, healthy, happy lives there! I know it has been a long haul for you, but now you can enjoy! Blessings!
Congratulations. I’ve followed since the solar upgrade and I’ve always been inspired. Wishing you guys all the best.
you are THE MAN! That house is amazing. you should be very proud of yourselves
To build a home is an achievement, to build your own home being your own contractor and during a worldwide pandemic is OUTSTANDING!
Well deserved congratulations.
i cant believe i've been watching you 2 for more than 5 years. congrats on the new home!
I've missed the Dirts!! Great to see you both, you both look much less stressed! Well deserved and hard worked for achievements! I'm just so happy for you guys!! Congrats and welcome home! Smiles and blessings...

Starting watching the canning, loved the move and house build. Managed to get married, finish grad school, and have a baby while this was going on, but it's been busy for everyone! Glad it's working out for you guys 😁
Congratulations 🥳🤗🏠 you built a beautiful home. I’ve enjoyed every video along the way and I looking forward to more projects 🥂
You taught me how to can two years ago. I love you for that. I’m looking forward to more canning, preservation vids!! Good to see you both! ❤

Congratulations, you guys. Your dedication, persistence and hard work to create your dream is inspiring. You've built a beautiful home and established a homestead--coupled with all of the skills you've developed along the way--that will take you through whatever the future might bring.

As a viewer for about 6 years, I have loved your home build. I will also love seeing the gardens and other projects. Watching this process has been fascinating and far more complicated then I thought it would for you guys. Congratulations on your move in!

Such an awesome journey. The house turned out beautiful
Thanks!
That’s one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, congratulations on your beautiful home wow it’s beautiful, Thanks for sharing your journey 👍🇮🇪😀
🎊 🎉 🥳 Congrats y'all! The house is beautiful. I hope that your family gets to not only celebrate, but relax and take a long needed vacation/staycation and enjoy every bit of it.
OMG - You guys did it! So happy for you all, amazing. Looking forward to catching up, last video I saw was a year back. Life's been a tumble these last few years. The house looks great!
Congratulations. Its a huge accomplishment to build your own house. Now you can sit back and enjoy your accomplishment, while you guys do small homesteading projects like the garden and building up your pantry.
Amazing! The house is awesome. I've been following your build since the start. I'm literally sitting here in our 30 ft trailer waiting for permits to break ground on our land. We sold everything to build a dream, you've been an inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
That is awesome!
Hang in there, we are in a 26' trailer and our builder just finished up our Barndominium shell so, now we get to get busy finishing the inside. Luckily we didn't have to have any permits except septic.
Aloha 🌺 Thank you! Amazing journey! My Father & one Uncle were Union carpenters that build modular table & chairs when were kids, also painted in primary colors. My family were all tradesmen, plumbers, carpenters. Can't believe how much the world has changed! Please take care. Aloha!🥰
So proud of you. Seems like it took forever. Welcome Home! 😊😊
Awesome home! Congratulations. So happy you’re moved in! Enjoy!
Congratulations! Happy for you being able to move in.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! CONGRATS ON MOVING INTO YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOUSE! YES IM YELLING LOL
Yay!!
Congratulations on finishing and finally moving in. I've been following you guys since about 2017. So happy for the two of you. :)
Cannot believe its been 5 years. Have been notified of any videos from you guys. House looks great. Hope it is a forever, but as the saying goes.... Never say never. We are so glad we downsized and yet have land so the structures are not a huge tax liability. We built our forever home but over a couple of decades, the state taxed us out. So now I hope it doesn't happen to you.
Bless you and your Family for all the challenges you faced and worked through. Beautiful home 🏡 you hard word is paying off.
Its beautiful!! Congratulations!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have followed you from the beginning, and I must say you have built a wonderful home and been an inspiration to others.Looking forward to more of the same. Well done and I hope you enjoy your home for many years to come.
Wow! Wow! WOW!
Happy to hear you’re occupying your home. Finally! Whew!
I’m so pleased for you both! Well done! Congratulations!
This wasn’t an easy build, but you did it- and more- you did such a great job! The house is really special.
I’m looking forward to more videos as the finish work and furniture are built.
Congratulations Again!
It’s lovely to see you both- and I’m happy to see Jamie’s presence in the videos.
Congratulations on moving in! You guys have always been entertaining to watch. Thanks!
Congratulations it turned out amazing get some rest!
Thank you!!
Bravo 🤗🤗🤗 for getting moved in. We have enjoyed watching the entire process. Now let’s build some furniture.
Your home is beautiful, glad you took on the challenge and pushed through. Looking forward to future vlogs showing your furniture build
Ok. Looking forward to a whole house tour. It is so great that you are moved in. I'm sure no one is more happy than you are. But we are so happy for you.
It's not called a "forever house" because it takes that long to build, but it certainly seemed like it at times - and I wasn't the one living in a tiny trailer and doing all of the work.
I hope that you now get to enjoy lots of the other "forever".
Congratulations Jamie and Jeremy!🎉
I've been watching the entire build. There is no substitute for blood sweat and tears when it comes to our passion, desires and need for freedom.
Your forever house is gorgeous!
I'm excited to see your next chapter.
My first video I saw was the bugout bag starring Jamie.
It's beautiful! Can't wait to see a tour with all the appliances and finishes. Congratulations!
Wishing you guys many happy healthy years in the house! You did it!! What a journey!
Wow, I watched all your videos but I didn't realize it was such a hardship for you. Jeremy always made it seem like a good time. I'm really proud of all you've accomplished. It really is amazing. Beautiful home.
Congratulations!!!! I am glad to see that you are finally in your home. I look forward to following your next adventures.
Congratulations. Followed you from the old house when you were doing canning videos, the to the trailer, to this property. So proud of you 🤗
Blessings and much happiness in your new home.🤗🌞
OMGosh - FINALLY!!! Yayyyyy for you both and congrats!! Hugs and admiration Lucy
Congratulations! What a dream home that you literally put your blood sweat and tears into. I bet you are so relieved to be over this huge hump and moved in. Wow, what a process.
The house is looking great. It's nice to see that you finally got to move in.
OMG! I feel like a kid at Christmass, I'm so happy. It's like opening the biggest and best gift ever. I've been waiting for this day. All your hard work and effort comes to fruition. You've moved in. I didn't know I could be this happy for basically people who we would call strangers. I've journeyed with you from the move and good golly... it's been five years. What have I been doing?? LOL You built a house a home a community and a life to be proud of. Now keep moving forward because there's no standing still, or you'd be going backwards. Best of all, forever, in your forever home.
I came along with you over the entire journey, I'd just like to thank you for sharing that journey it's been amazing and inspiring.
It's a beautiful place you've created and I'm sure the furniture you create will be similar.
So Thanks to the Guildbrook farm family for the past 3 odd years of this build.
Haven't watched y'all for a long while. Life takes you on different paths, but WOW, y'all have consistently stuck to your path. Good to see and congratulations!!
I have enjoyed watching this process.
awesome job guys, I have been following y'all since the other house. God bless and keep moving forward
I have been watching since before you got goats on your last property. It doesnt seem like that long ago. So much has happened since then. I started watching for the canning and the garden and chickens. And stayed bc I love your lifestyle. No matter what direction you guys have taken with the challenges in front of you, I always learn something. And many of your videos have directly applied to things I need to do in my home. So I thank you for sharing the methods and solutions with me! Congratulations on FINALLY getting to move into your dream home!! I look forward to seeing how you do the finish work, and what the next chapter brings! 🥰
So happy you are in your forever home! Been here through the entire journey.
Congratulations! Super excited for you to finally be able to move into this new chapter. I would love to see the furniture builds as I am looking to build furniture myself.
It looks so beautiful, guys! We're so happy that you're finally getting to live in your new home! We are in a very similar situation as you were 5 years ago. It's already rough, but we're doing our best. Jeremy, so proud of you, Hon. Jaime, it's wonderful to see you, and I hope we get to see more of you, Sweetie! Love you guys, and can't wait to see what you do next! ~ Barbra
Yes! It has been a long journey, guys! Congratulations on finally moving in! Cheers 🍻
Back then I didn’t think you would ever get a home built ! You did one heck of a job and built a great home .
Good for you guys for moving in!! Congratulations and fantastic work!!
I remember when you guys got it. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago. We had life happen several times so I got away from watching. Glad it's done for you and it's home now.
It is very beautiful. I’m sure it was a lot of work however, it’s done… you’ve finished it and that must come with relief as well as pride and satisfaction all deserved.
I am so proud of you guys! I started watching you when I lived in NJ and I am now in rural Kentucky. Your house is gorgeous and looks so professionally built. Congratulations on your hard work.
Thank you! It’s been a crazy ride but we finally pulled it off! 😳
Oh wow. What a journey it has been for you both and your family! Finally moved into your home that the both of you have worked so hard for.
Congratulations! I've followed your progress. Your home is beautiful. I know it was super hard, but you can be so proud of what you've accomplished. May your home be filled with lots of laughter, love and Blessings!
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations on your forever home completion and move in!!
I have folllowed your progress since before the move there. Glad to see the hard work payed off. Sweat equity is the way to go.
Looking forward to more content to keep us coming back!!
Wow, what a beautiful home! Congrats you guys!!!
Good luck folks.
You have ended up with the most beautiful house, so I think it was certainly worth the wait!
I can’t wait to see the furniture being built. 👏👏👏🥰
