    That is so fantastic that “Dad” can help out and feel and be useful.

    Watching your dad is so touching. During the final stage of my dad's cancer my brother-in-law Jerry would pick him up to go to whatever home Jerry was building and give him the punch list of small details that had to be done, like filling finishing nail holes with putty. Sadly within a few years of passing Jerry also died of cancer, and with the same dignity and strength he preserved for our father. Your dad is a treasure!

    Your 89 year old dad is darling. He reminds me of my handy and active dad. Now passed away but dear to me still. 🔨 😊. What a lovely family dynamic you have. Indicative of how you care for each other.

    Don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up, also if you can share it. It helps with the algorithms, to bring in more viewers. It will help the Ray family.
    Everything is turning out great with all the work done, especially with the children helping.
    God Bless all.

    PRO TIP 🐑🌹. While wearing rubber gloves…. Take a big 5 gallon bucket pick up the sheep poo, add water and then after it’s soaked in the water a day water the plants with that poo water. My grandmother always did that for her roses and the were always beautiful!

    OOOH, it is looking SO GREAT!!!! You've accomplished so much. You've stayed positive even with the bumps. So glad to see your Dad, Jamie looking some taping. He looked so happy getting in there & pitching in. Landscaping looks beautiful. Really has come a long long way. Congratulations!

  • @cherylgoff8955
    @cherylgoff8955 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Bless your dad for his help! You are such a good daughter. Landscaping is not instant, it takes years but you are off to a good start. Just watching all your hard work on this video made me very tired😉. You are doing a very excellent job!!

    A slide out a window or even a tunnel shut would have been great if you can get a dumpster under one window. You guys have done that building a great justice as it now will feel a live and full of love again.

    GOD BLESS YOU TWO…. I pray God continues to pour out grace upon grace on you, your family, your health and your business. No one can deny your HOME and BUSINESS has not literally been “blood, sweat and tears.” You two are a strong testament to “love, faith and perseverance” You always amaze me with your talent… creative minds…work ethics and working together as one !!! You are like the left and right hand…one without the other wouldn’t be complete.
    It is looking so great with the walls gone and all open. Now it is starting to look like “The Church” ….I love it !
    Lots of prayers, love and hugs to you both !!! 💛💛🙏🙏💛💛

    So very happy for you both. I can actually say I've been here since the beginning of Jami Ray. Way back in the original kitchen, with the kids running in the background. Way back when Zeb only made the occasional appearance.
    Your living proof if you work hard, put good out into the world and have a little faith....everything will turn out exactly like it's supposed to.
    Wishing you the best through these next chapters of your life. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

    My heart is swelling with love and adoration for you and your family. You all are the absolute hardest working bunch of folk I’ve ever encountered. I’m so excited for you and your future with this gorgeous church. It’s as emotional for us watching with the knowledge of what it took to get you to this point as it is for you I’m sure. Because we really do care for you guys and we’re your biggest cheerleaders. I wish I had a pot of gold to throw your way !!!!

    You guys are such an inspiration. I am getting my 30 year old house ready to sell. It is no way near the amount of work that you are undertaking and I feel overwhelmed. I hope you are building 100's of thousands of sweat equity into this wonderful piece of real estate. You certainly have earned it and deserve it.

    Hard working and dedicated are severely inadequate adjectives when describing the two of you. Your examples set the bar for what an outstanding work ethic looks like. So fun to see the progress on the church and grounds and how incredibly gratifying it will be for you to see the fruits of your labor enjoyed by many once your doors are open for business.👏🏻👏🏻

It’s wonderful to see your dad is able to contribute in his own way, I bet his heart is full and that he’s doing his part and feeling useful. My dad is in a nursing home with full on dementia and I miss the man that he was. Can’t wait for more episodes in the busy productive lives of Jami, Zeb and family.💝

    You are the most amazing couple; persevering through all the problems, creatively finding new ways to get things done, giving all you've got to this project and involving everyone in your family to join in to make this new endeavor everyone's project. I have watched you so many times and have always come away with noting your great kindness to one another, your encouragement to your viewers and to others who are doing similar work and your indomitable spirit. You are such a great example for others who are attempting any project small or large to keep going and growing. Thank you for giving so much more than ideas about how to remake and sell items; you give us such great examples of strength and family and making dreams come true....with hard work of course.

Had a chance to buy an old church not long ago, but could not come up with a suitable plan for it, then covid hit, then my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, so maybe someone else had a better plan for us. Good luck!!

I can't wait to see the ceiling! You do make me feel a little lazy when I see all the hard work you've done. And all of it with busted thyroids and no hormones! You should show your doctors this video!
