#diyprojects #girlpower
Awesome couple. Building a special life together.
Thank you!
Cool video Meg -N- Mike. I live in a 1973 mobile home that a nice lady payed me 850 dollars to move off her property. I went early on a Sunday morning with my farm tractor and towed it the 8 miles to my lot. That was 20 years ago. I’m still living in it. Life is good.
That's awesome!! That must have been quite the sight towing the home with the tractor! How cool!! I'm glad the home is still doing well for you! Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience!
Dang you got paid to live in a house. How times have changed
The backhoe/frontloader International is now like a great farmer. Outstanding in its field.
lol!
13 letter manure spreader out doing what it does best,rest...
Meg, you and Mike never slow down. As a couple, you two are so enjoyable to watch. Work so well together. Great purchase. I can't wait for the tour. Definitely no shortage of projects 😁.
Thank you so much Curtis! We appreciate that! And yes, definitely very busy around here 😂!! Hope you're doing well, and have a great week!
Since I found your channel I've started doing projects I wouldn't have before. you've inspired me to do a lot more DIY and a lot less relying on other people. Now things get done on my schedule...or not...🤣
As a European I've always been sceptical about that idea of mobile/manufactured homes.... but seeing the inside of your 2018 one, I've got to admit they seem much spacier and nicer than I thought. So maybe not that bad at all. Except when you're living up tornado alley.
PS I'm glad that you aren't "hiding" Mike anyomore in your vids.
Ya they are honestly often misrepresented, manufactured homes here are actually built with the exact same building practices a "regular home" (2x6 walls r24 insulation r40 in the roof) just built on top of a heavy duty steel frame. In areas of high wind they put large anchors in the ground to keep them from moving, the homes that you see torn apart from storms are likely mobile homes which are constructed very differently and are much much lighter duty.
Thanks for the interest in the video and the support on the channel!
I sell manufactured homes.
All homes of thus type are manufactured homes. In the US, HUD dictates what home regs are for each state. The term mobile home is not really used anymore as it implies more of a trailer like a travel trailer or what is called a park model.
They're nice inside but don't last long in a state prone to hurricane and other natural disasters. Thankfully this isn't one of those states
@@vh3531 Indeed, it's all marketing. "Manufactured Home" sounds better, so that's what everyone uses these days.
@@vh3531 Actually, HUD defines what is a mobile home and what is a manufactured home. So any homes that are built in a factory and delivered complete that are still in existence from prior to 1976 are still considered mobile homes.
Park model RVs came into existence because people wanted to live in RV parks and didn't need any of the tanks, under belly storage, or other equipment that a regular RV had for being used while traveling. They are built to RV standards, not home standards.
Caterpillar should be sponsoring you, that cat is getting such a versatile little machine, and you are showcasing it excellently
I loved this episode. Thanks for sharing your journey. I also really enjoyed hearing a little more of your backstory.
I think that skid steer was an awesome purchase.Congrats on the house you guys!
Thanks so much, Jason!
Brilliant! I'm more than slightly impressed! The highlight of the video, though, was you two shouting "Hello!" at each other down the convoluted tubing! You're both as mad as a box of frogs!
I have to admit that I shed a few tears when I saw your new home settled in place under the beautiful evening sky...
🥰🤣😂😎
Thank you Bernard!! Lol I love that, "mad as a box of frogs" 😂🐸!! We appreciate you, Bernard! Thank you for being a part of this adventure with us! Sending you our best!
@@Meg.August 🥰😘
your intelligence surprises me but your holiness has touched my heart through these words thank you for these sweet words nice to meet you
Congrats! It's a beaut, Clark!
What wonderfully bright lights you two are, an insparation to the whole world ♥
Oh thank you so much, that's very kind!
sneaky, sneaky.....sneaking a whole house in without notice....lol....that was cool.....good luck with it.
lol!! 😁 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that peat should absolutely grow amazing veggies
Many people do not understand how nice a manufactured home can be made and many times more affordably.
I 1000% agree! They are so under-rated and misrepresented!! We love manufactured homes, and honestly cannot wait to get back in one!
Nice job on your first home! I'm sure your new home will be great as well!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate that!
I'm sub'd to your channel .. I live in a very small fishing village in Nova Scotia , I built a house on the water and paid everything off when I retired ..Born here and will die here .. I'm retired now , I worked 6 days a week 9 hours a day for 50 years .. i watch a lot of TH-cam fix-it type videos ..I've never seen someone as talented and able to fix/repair anything like you .. Your an unbelievable and beautiful young lady .. Keep up the good work ..
WOW! I remember a gal who struggled to build an 8 foot tall stick frame for her totes in her town home garage a year ago. Then when she tried to stand it up, should couldn’t & groan laughed!!! Not enough clearance… Now she’s tilting a 40,000 lb home with ease, less than a year later. Great job on increasing your knowledge “outside my paygrade” experience. In 2 years I won’t be the least bit surprised to see you building a rocket launch pad on the far corner of the property & fly in orbit! It makes my USA Tennessee heart happy to share in your and Mike’s Canadian wilderness pioneer experience. It’s most enjoyable & identifiable (I’ve stood in the rain in the military going.. "where the puck is the damn transport?!!!")
10-10-24 I’m officially adding you to my short “Super Favorite Canuck” list
John Candy,

Ryan Reynolds, &
Megan August. All the Best! G
You are literally comparing her building and standing a frame on her own, to a professional (not her, as you said) using their purpose built truck to tilt the home for her. Of course it is tilted easily! Your logic is a little broken............apples to oranges. Now, all of the work they have done is an extension of the skills used to build the rack in the garage. It is great they were able to prepare a property to have a home set. It would have been better if they had run a roller compactor over each lift of the fill, but if they kept the lifts thin enough, the track steer may have been good enough for their needs.
I always wondered how they got those homes off the transport rig, thanks for the updates Meg and Mike. Have fun!
It's quite the production, eh?! Thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a great week!
Another fantastic episode. Loving the journey. The catapiller is really working out for you now. I saw another youtuber living off grid drilling a well in the US. Was a lot deeper than yours but they had to use the pros to do it. The machinery involved was so emense, and complex, and it also took a few days. Looking back at your well drill with what you were using, just made it more amazing of a job which you did on your well. Great job. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed this episode! The well drilling process is such a wild thing, and honestly I'm still a bit stunned that we actually (successfully!) did it!! Thank you for the support and encouragement, we're grateful to have you along on this journey with us! Hope you're having a great start to your weekend!
Hi fellow Canuck.
When it is time to build your home. There is a device that hydraulically puts in
helical piers.
These piers go down till they hit soild ground. So you home supported even on soft ground at your land.
It is wonderful to see both happy new home owners.
Oh have a shed for the skid steer come winter. Beats shoveling off the skid steer every time you use it.😉
Interesting little peek to the 2018 :) Nice project and looking forward to the house tour in next episode.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the support, and thanks for the comment as well!
Wow!!!! All I can say to you both, is you are living the DREAM!!! How fantastic to see your house get set in place, best wishes!!!!!
Thank you so much Eric!! Appreciate it!
@@Meg.August You gonna need some stairs for those two entries... 😁
Wow this is awesome the progress you and Mike are making.
Thank you Nickolas! Appreciate that!
love the episodes with your partner. you two are unstoppable.
Thank you!
I'm over the moon happy for you guys. I can't wait for the day the inside is done and you move in after everything is hooked up. I'm looking forward to your next video.🏠
Thank you so much!! Yes, we're very much looking forward to getting settled in there! Lots of work ahead, but it'll be so worth it! Thank you for the support, we appreciate you!!
Wow a big day(s) for you and the new 'old' homestead. Wee done all 😃😃😎😎
Thank you so much, Paul!
I really do love watching the two of you work together on this. I sort of dream of doing this with my husband.
I must say I do like Mike n Meg video's better than just Meg video's. He adds balance to the equation of humanity. God bless you both.
Really appreciate the feedback! Thank you! Blessings to you as well!
Mike n Meg has a ring to it (accidental pun).
@@Meg.August do you guys do onlyfans?
If you focus on her content instead of the moose nuccull, you will find her content to be very informative.
You guys are remarkable, an inspiration. One day I hope to accomplish something close to what you and Mike have. Great job😊
Thank you so much, that's very kind!
I am so happy all the work that you kids have done. I know what it takes to put in lines, water, lines, electric lines. I’ve been in construction my whole life I know in certain situation and absolutely sucks and what you guys have been through amazing, so proud of the work that you’ve done love watching your videos. Keep up the good work Brad from Michigan.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Many talk the talk, few can walk the walk. Takes a long time and a whole lot of work to have your dreams. You two are devouring that elephant one bite at a time. Enjoy the journey it can be a blast of good times.
How exciting, awesome video guys ,you have such a beautiful spot .
Thank you so much Damian! Appreciate that!
I’m very excited for such a hard working couple. 🎉 Enjoy it in good health.
Thank you so much! Appreciate that!
Incredible video, Meg! I was thinking you and Mike were going to build a house from the ground up, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that we going mobile home route. Probably a much more economical option. Thank you for providing a little real estate insight as to how you are making this dream come true :)
@@ronw8628 I knew, but thank you. I've interacted with the real Meg. She is upbeat and witty.
You two are doing it all as ya wanted. So glad to see things coming along for ya. Thank you again for sharing it with us. Hope things keep going smoothly even though we all have some rough patches ahead.
Thank you, Jeremy! We appreciate that! We are grateful to have you along on the journey with us! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi you two. You both are driven and capable of everything!! Meg I think your fantastic taking on so many projects of all sorts. And completeing them all with just an occational #%$#. Yes the camera picked it up. Don't worry...we love it all. Great videos and keep them coming. 😊
It's wonderful to see such a big but fragile structure travelled on country lanes for so much without any damage or even a scratch!
Great Job !!!!! , you should be very proud. 😀
Thanks so much Peter!
Hi Meg and Mike 👋🏻 Always great to hear from you my friends 😊 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always 🫶🏻 Stay safe and take care!
Glad to see Mike on your videos; you two make such a great couple! Always glad to see each new adventure! Take care!
Luv you both ❤ for shearing your life with us. Fantastic to see you doing so well 😊
Wow! Congratulations on your new home! How incredibly exciting for you!
All the best from California!🧡
What a great, and fulfilling adventure. Hope you can make use of the "fertile" topsoil you spent hours moving!
Thank you!! And yes, I will actually be sharing an update on what we've done with all that excavated soil in a future video! Thanks for watching!
Very excited for you two. Looking forward for more great videos.
Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you so much @thewhelanfactor for the Super Thanks!! We really appreciate it!
it's really nice to see you including the hubby more often!
NEVER go under that home in that position, way too dangerous. Good job.
Wow how amazing was this video, all the preparation to get the massive Pad ready, felt for the transport guys but they were determined to get to you. Loved the view of the Truck heading towards you with your home. Looking at it as it was placed in its new location, I thought Meg and Mike will easily change the look. Hope you enjoyed the cake and the new views from the roof. Love ❤️ to you both from UK xxxx
Aww Meg and Mike that looks so cute. Looking forward to the tour
Thank you so much!!
So exciting. You have come a long way. I envision to use the temporary house as a guest or in-law abode when you finally have your dream home? Your journey just keeps getting better and better. I wish you both the best of luck
Thanks so much! Yes you're right we are actually going to be renting it out once we have our main house built. Hope you're doing well catch you next time!
I ❤ you guys!!
Keep on keeping on🎉
Thank you so much!
I’m excited for you guys. Off grid travel trailer is ok short term but a real home is so much less stress.
What fun! Very practical and sensible too, giving yourselves somewhere a little more robust than the trailer to live in through the upcoming winter whilst managing the budget. That sure was a lot of grading work - probably saved yourselves a fair bit doing that rather than hiring it out.
Thanks Kev! We are very excited to get moved in, we actually miss our 2018 home so much we cant wait! It was the cheapest house to heat we have ever lived in so it should be nice and cozy for the winter.
Looking good guys! Full steam ahead! 👍
Thank you so much!
so awesome, I vote for a mandatory wrap around deck/ porch build with second floor area :)
haha! 😁
Looking forward to the tiny house renovation/upgrade Meg. 🙂👍
Haven't seen a floppy disk since I was in grade 5 and now I officially feel old haha. Great progress on your dream home Meg!!
👍Always a positive attitude love watching you two work👍😊..
Even though you are tired at the end of a day, the satisfaction of standing back and seeing what you have accomplished is what I call "the wow factor," as in, " I can't believe we did this." Your forever home is just beginning!
doing groundworks on that scale is no easy thing to do especially when you have such soft top soil and not much experience i think you did a fantastic job !!
great job congrats with the home looks awesome now to put your own touches to it 👍👍
Congrats Meg and Mike, on finally gotten ur trmp mobilhome in place at the site.. from two miles away, it looks awecome.. LOL..
Hello from one hatched in Fort Gary, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1952. I worked on my late uncle's grain farm in Ontario during harvest.
Now living on the rocky coast of Maine, US. October 10, 2024.
My late father was on the board of directros of Cummins Inc. and XTRA INC. piggy back trailers.
Thanks for being here!
You two are doing an awesome job. Slow and steady wins the race.
Getting close to 80k subscribers and growing. Thanks for the great content!
Great video, and it's very interesting! 😁 👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
As to your backhoe. Go to an ag tire store and inquire about putting a set of dual tires on the back like a farm tractor so it will have four rear tires in all. That will make it float on your peat bog a bit better. Farmers do it all the time in the mud of the midwest. Ask about snap on duals.
Best regards from Indiana, USA.
congratulation !
Enjoy your new, old home !!
Thank you!!
Congrats getting a home on site!
Thank you!!!
I used to deliver, set-up, and reposes mobile homes but down here where I live you have to have concrete blocks on bottom and then wood on top. Looks pretty cool. Can't waitto watch the building of your dream home.
This brings back memories of moving a older modular home onto 65acres I developed from nothing. It provided a place to live while building the shop and then designing and building the home. Pssstt....loved the pellet stove that was put in the house to offset propane costs (N Gas wasnt available where the property is)
Thats a beautiful day for a home arrival...so many things had to mesh to get that to work and you had it spot on, well done guys.
I bet sitting on the roof watching the sunset was magical
How exciting !! You kids hit a home run, what a great plan. Cant wait for the next video.
I loved this episode. Thanks for sharing your journey. I also really enjoyed hearing a little more of your backstory.
You are the only channel that I have a bell notification on.
You two are an excellent example of how to get ahead. Start small and trade up. I'm amazed at how much you're doing yourselves. Fantastic
You two are such a stinkin’ cute couple!! 😀 I have enjoyed watching Megan talk to herself as she maneuvers her way through a project! She is adorable!
I used to live in the UK by myself eight time zones away from my wife. I spent many hours in my tiny apartment literally talking to myself. I had to chuckle when I said, “I’m probably going to have to talk to someone about me talking to myself!” At least I can pretend you are talking to me!! 😂
Congratulations on your new digs!!
I’m so happy for you both your hard work and dedication to one another is truly inspiring God bless you and congratulations on your new home and life together good luck 🍀 😊
Wow!! That's a lot of skilled engineering works.
Congratulations on your new to you home yes it took some extra time but it will be worth it! Again Congratulations!!!
Good luck with your new home. I really enjoy watching you completing all sorts of jobs your something else.
Another big step forward 👍
Definitely! Thanks Kevin!!
Great video Meg and Mike
Your neighbors are awesome.
They really are!
20:20 our sweet neighbors dropped off a cake that we enjoyed FOR dinner 😅. Cake for dinner and a new(ish) house.
I'm a water well driller of sorts and I watched you drill your well. I was amazed how you grasped the concept Sowell. you made Same mistakes and Some wrong asumptions but boy you did well!I I know the problems you could have had but God had his handm you. Bless you girl get er done
What an epic episode! I'm mean bringing on your own home to your land is pretty epic - but I just want a skid steer! You've made it in life for sure! I find it amazing you have the energy to film while doing all that hard work - but thanks so much for doing so! Can't wait to see your progress on this! Ringo
Glad to see you back Meg. I missed you n mike.❤😊
You 2 work so well together. Great job prepping the spot for the mobile home. Having the Cat skid steer made your job so much easier. The backhoe will make a great rebuild project later. Hope you get it all set up to move into before the snow falls.
you all did great job building your pad built few my self for big buildings keep the video coming we keep watchin go meg go
thanks for making this video atleast i saw what it looks like under these homes
It's a cool process for sure!! I was very excited to see under the home as well! Thank you for watching!
Congratulations. You all must be incredibly happy! I'm a new viewer and have just finished catching up with the build videos.
Congratulations to you and Mike!
Your manufactured home looks amazing, and I can not wait to see y'all make it your own!
Well-done, Meg!
Nice addition to the property! I look forward to more videos about your new manufactured home :D
Well done, congratulations on the new temporary home. Can't wait to see how you develop the rest of the property.
Your videos are great. You always stay positive about everything you do. It's really refreshing to see these videos, I enjoy them a lot . We all need to take lessons from you because you never quit, and you get the job done . Keep it up, Meg .
Thank you Meg and Mike 👊🏻👍🏻 Always great to hear from you my friends ☺️ God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you always, stay safe and take care! 🫶🏻
Nice work! Cant wait for the house tour 😊
Thanks so much!
Frankly I didn't expected a prefab home. Don't get me wrong but I thought you (and Mike) were building a home "from scratch". Now Suddenly you guys have your home standing proud on the property in this beautiful surroundings. It is finally taking shape. Good luck and on to the next one.
Have no fear! We will still be building our dream home and shop come Spring! We will be living in the manufactured home through the winter and while we build (and will be selling the travel trailer!) Thanks for watching Roy! Hope you have a great week!
@@Meg.August Thanks for the update and clarification Meg. I can imagine the winters will be harsh in this region, does it? Looking forward to the next one.
I'm curious why the intermediary step of putting in a manufactured home for one winter while you wait for Spring to start building your dream home. Would winter just be too harsh on the travel trailer where you are? I managed heating blankets on on all of my tanks on the van I lived in for a couple of years. I had to dig it out of a meter+ of snow a few times but it was easy to keep something that small heated. Or are you planning on keeping the manufactured home as a guest house? Thanks for sharing this whole process and good luck!
Big Gratz! Stressful but in the end it looks like it was all worth it!
The next cycle of awesome begins!
You are making progress , things are coming along and that's great.
