  • Another windy day! Perfect for finishing up the interior framing and the big gable window wall. ;-) We are really happy with how the design has translated to an actual house as it all comes together. We are so close to being dried in!

    Congratulations! That's a big one off the list. That framing team is by far one of the best I've seen. I've watched construction in person and on video so I have seen a great many teams. While most were good or decent this team really has it together. They did you a solid with the job that is well done over and above expectations. So glad you found them for your build.
    Hate to hear about the company having to close for a time. Dog gone it. I just pray the effects from this virus start to heal and soon.

Thanks for taking the time to share.

    It is so exciting to see all the progress that’s being made and how quick it’s coming together, Jaime! Jeremy, I know it’s just me and my phobia of heights but I can’t help but to cringe when I watch your crew doing their thing. I know they’ve probably done that kinda stuff hundreds of times and they are good at it and comfortable doing it but I sure wouldn’t be able to make any progress at all because I’d be holding on with both hands if I could even get up the ladder. Crack them guys an extra beer, they’ve done y’all a good job and have earned it! I pray that everyone is still doing well and look forward to the next update. God bless! 🙏👍

    I have watched a few of your videos. You guys have put out the most down to earth and realistic information videos from your experience in the school of hard knocks and life lessons which you have kindly passed on with your videos. I grew up in a southern USA farming environment of living and selling off the land. I do know where and how my food comes from and I want no part of it. There is nothing romantic about it for me, but I truly do respect your family for the tough decisions and compromises you have made for the greater goal of going back to the land. I am not built for such hardships. I ride my mostly solar charged battery Ebike instead of a car. If it rains I hire Lyft or Uber which it does not rain much in Arizona :-) I fit 300 watts of solar panels on my studio condo but I get most of my power from a lithium ion battery wall that recharges late at night from the power company when rates are lowest. I do run this off grid and it only powers my led lights, computer, television screen, and shared 4g internet which I have on on separate AC circuits than the fridge, microwave, and mini split air conditioner. I run those conventions through the local power company. I grow tomatoes and radishes on my patio garden but thats as far back to the land as I am going. I grew up there and I prefer a smaller compromise and a more modern and detached from the farm living :-) Thanks again for your very open and honest videos.

    I watched part of this with my hand over my mouth, your build crew are awesome, I was shocked to see them hanging out of windows with sheets of plywood type stuff like it was nothing, but they did an amazing job and the house looks great, shame about the special glass but you will get it later.

    Intriguing watching this from the UK. No safety helmets, high viz jackets, safety boots, scaffolding, safety harnesses, covered walkways etc. I am the first to acknowledge that Health and Safety restrictions can become so excessive that it is counter productive but this cavalier approach is fascinating. Clearly very hard working and productive crew but part of me is astonished by the lack of safety provisions. Enjoying the videos though and its not for me to judge the approach of other countries.

    Crazy Idea, BUT since you have to wait for the Windows, maybe put up some of that Clear plastic roofing you can get for gardens for a few months so you can have light to see, but weather protection while you work on the house, its usually near the plastic and metal roofing often used with sheds. just a thought! then maybe when you are don with the house you can make a greeen house for some winter veggies?
