I know it's only sponsorship but I'm over 50 with zero credit, I have always lived by the motto, never borrow and never lend, a motto that's served me well, I built and paid for my own house with my own labour and my own money as I earned it, always debt free and clear, it's the only way to have true liberty in this world.
I've been a subb of your channel from the beginning, even though I never comment, I do every time 👍up,,I'm commenting now to thank you for what you do for children with cancer,,because I know what the disease means, because I am also a cancer patient, testicle and limb gland cancer ... so thx guys…I hope you see my message 🤗
I only had a quick look at that gable end it looks like at least one of the 2×4 braces was tight, maybe a sawzall and couple cuts the house will have shrunk. The wood truss companies use is junk compaired to the lumber you use to frame the house
Despite the problems this was a great episode. What ever are you going to do with your time besides cook, home teach, build horse and other animals accoutrements, feed animals, garden, plan, assemble and deliver charity project, plan and edit these episodes, eat, sleep ---- when the house is done? It is such a pleasure to witness your love and play, respect and appreciation for each other and your children. Thank you for letting us be there.
You called your channel “Good Simple Living” and I’ve been watching you folks for a long time. Build a farm from scratch, raise kids, build stuff, raise livestock, build stuff, organize a massive toy drive, and then build more stuff. I only have one question, when does the “simple” part kick in? 😁 Honestly, you folks are awesome!
Again what a way to end a TH-cam video. As you know I think the two of you are great people your kids have no idea how much they’re learning without going to school so to speak. Sometimes I think life lessons are the most important ones we ever learn. Answer you guys know you never stop learning. Keep up the good work and keep getting the toys. Thanks again for making my day.
Look at your truss prints. There should be a sheet that lists additional blocking and bracing. Generally , all gable end trusses require additional vertical bracing for at least 90% of the height of most members as well as diagonal bracing from the center of the end truss to the bottom chord or wind bracing at the other end of the diagonal. Love your channel and family life. Good luck and God Bless.
Jeremy's voice could make him a CNN reporter or newscaster but of course he has chosen more important things in life! Great job guys caring about those sweet kids.
I too loved seeing Eli on the sheep. I was waiting for the sheep to take off and see some mutton busting. Glad the sheep didn’t as Eli didn’t have a helmet on and he was in the rocks.
Keep getting the kids to help out on your project where you can, it'll build skills, and memories that will last a lifetime. I "helped" dad working on the car from when i was 2 years old, he still tells the tail if me being a bit of a pest when a neighbour came over to chat while we worked on the car (back in very early 70's). He handed me the jack handle and told me to take the hubcaps off the tires. The friend had a good laugh and said that'll take care of him for the day. Minutes later he hears the sound of the first hubcap hitting the ground. I ended up working in a car making factory and have great skills using either hand for the job at hand. You're giving them skills that'll set them up for life!
Melissa, and Jeremy Thankyou for your honesty, integrity, kindness, your love for family, life. Your videos have truly helped bring me blessings to my family. Jeremy you have helped me be a better Dad , husband. Through your example. May God bless your whole family in all you do . Thanks so much for your time that you given.
I so look forward to your videos ! Just one observation , When you cut the straps on the horse feeder, Those straps should be put somewhere safe before you do another thing , I was watching Melisa walking backward with a load in her hand and thought the worst was going to happen ! They are a serious Trip hazard ! They rate very High on building site accidents Keep Safe & Well . Bucket of Love to You and Your lovely Family
Same here, I made $12,400 profits on investing since I started trading with Mr Benjamin, his trading strategies are too notch am winning consistently trading with Mr Benjamin Harold . He really the best broker I've made a lot of profit investing with him.
Oh man. I'm sorry about the roof issues. You're maintaining a good attitude about it and that is half the battle. I almost died laughing watching the four of you carry the feeder over and then out of the garage. Kaimani and Jeremy walked and carried the exact same. You and Nevaeh waled and carried the exact same. It was priceless! 🤣🤣🤣
Jeremy, I admire the way you make sure whatever you do is done to the best of your ability, and you won't except anything that isn't square and level. It's called being a perfectionist. If I were building a new home, I would love to have you and Melissa build it for me. Keep up the excellent work guys.
I wish I was there to help I could fix the twist in around 20 mins but as this video is posted and I'm probably seeing it a week later you have probably sorted it. A few 2x4s to create a brace that pulls the timber back into line is all it needs. I feel helpless to an issue that is pretty simple to solve for 2 great individual. If by some chance you have not rectified it. Message me back and I will attempt a video call to show you how easy a fix it can be. Hope you get it sorted in quick time, but mostly don't let it worry you as to the untrained person it may seem a big deal but it's not! So don't let it worry you guys🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree, you need more horses AND a donkey. Donkeys are supposed to be good guarding animals. I think. Love how you are trying to match things. I too like to keep the theme the same from building to building. Ending monologue inspiring again Melissa. Glad to be back in Souzaville.
wow, celebrities!!! one of my favorite you-tube star family. you'll have your own reality show before long. famous people. does my heart good to see not only what you are accomplishing at home but how you are helping others. you are blessed and so am i for having followed your for several year now.
Easy brother Jeremy, reading directions (with exception of engineers), especially on video as proof of said infraction, highly risks having your 'man' card revoked. LOL. Seriously, seeing dad and son working together assembling is heart-warming and encouraging.
Nothing like having a good tractor and attachments. Like you little kiddos I learned so much by helping my parents to on our farm. Life long lessons that are still useful in my adult life.
A suggestion…install gutter and down spout at low end of hay feeder roof to catch water in a water trough. Helps eliminate mud and mud lakes around the feeder. Here in Tennessee it’s a must to try to contain the effects of accumulating water and stomping critters.
I think the difference with their feeder is that it's mobile. Adding a trough would make it less mobile unless the trough was on skids also and not attached to the feeder. Sounds like a pain the rear. Easier to just pull the feeder out of a mud bog to a less churned up spot.
Melissa, the Farm on Route 66 can help you with a few more horses….. They have some beauties. The 2 you have now have so much personality ♥️ Thank you all for the toys drive for the Children’s Hospital ♥️
I'm so sorry that there is a problem with the roof supports. Praise God it was found before other problems were created. The food contraption is really something ...good work gang!
Stay warm lovely family. We all love you so much. 💋❤️ Eli got cold & went inside. 😄 Now Kaimani. Where's Keira? 😄God bless you. You bring so much joy to the world dear people. That's not a small thing. 🙏❤️
Love seeing all the sweet donations you all have recieved . So happy for a the children. You all are the best. The house will be fixed soon and you can continue!!!! God Bless all of you .
It’s lucky that the problem with the trusses was found now. It could have really been a disaster if the discovery was made further along in the build. It’s always a disappointment when a problem leads to a delay, but you guys have got this! There isn’t anything you two can’t accomplish together. ❤️
One option is to cut 3/4 way through bowed 2x4 to make ' relief cuts ' that will take pressure off of bow, then add necessary structural support on either side. That way you won't damage the exterior. Snow weight will be an issue so more is better.
Melissa🤗😀, girl I laughed so much when you whispered "a man Reading instructions" you know how lighten things up hunny. I love you guys, love the children. Please give each if them hugs for me. May God continue to bless all of you. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️💖💖. I truly enjoy every video
My husband and I are just now started watch your channel and we started at the beginning. We are now enjoying your tiny build inside your pole barn. Your happy dances are so good. I love your family humor and Melissa’s tool belt. You go girl. Our question is what nationality is Jeremy. My husband is a retired police officer.He worked for twenty eight years
I love how you 2 have Learned to see and accept God's perspective on things when stuff doesn't go how you planned. And Jeremy, what a great dad -- working with/encouraging and patiently teaching your young son. He will carry that with him his whole life.
This whole video was awesome! All that stuff collected, the humor, the fun, and affectionate horse, father/son time, partnership, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on. Thank you!
I'm so sad about your problems with the trusses but am just as proud by the way you handle things that come your way that don't work out. Your children have the best role models any kids can have. Will keep you in my prayers as always, Thanks for the videos, they really make my week!
I was impressed with Jeremy's patience to spend quality time with a youngster. He asked his son if he wanted to help; he said yes and Jeremy said "OK" and off they went.
ROFLMAO!! The look on Nevaeh's face at the end of the Cool Runnings song was priceless. Also priceless? The father/son bonding time with Jeremy and Eli.
Currently watching, had to pause. When u 2 quoted movie quotes, then cam switched to your daughter, I literally Laffed out loud (lol). It was perfect cut in this segment. Enjoy the content, and Jeremy, you're not alone with the ocp issues. And try harder to read directions in private, away from cams.
The children hospital thing is a great thing. Thats why I sent a few things. Yall are good folk, I look forward to your videos. Nevaeh hasnt put out a video in a while. God bless you good folk!!
Every time I watch ya'lls video's I just get so emotional that I want to tear up, you guy's work so hard to get your dream home built and then you run into problems with your truss's , then the guy's working on your heat comes in, then you get the local news coming in, then the UPS guy comes in, then it rains on you, dang I just love you guy's....just be safe....
AAHHH.... OCD... can be your best friend sometimes. It's good that you caught it before you started going up the wall with siding. I bet the horses are going to be happy with there new dining room. I hope you two get the outside buttoned up soon, winter is almost here, no one likes freezing there buns off..ha. When the siding is done it's time for BBQ steak med. rare and champagne.....Chris
Your children have beautiful smiles. I truly appreciate how you are instilling a work ethic and compassion for others in your videos. Thanks for bringing us along. Stress brings you closer to our creator.
Love your podcast....my dad was a horse whisperer in Colorado....he had that spiritual connection with all animals until the day he died...so happy to see your family connected with God's creations..
Loved how you children helped. Just remember God only gives us what we can handle, don't stress out. It doesn't pay. While things are going on in the house, you two don't let grass grow under your feet, you always have things to do. Love you guys, and of course your children. God bless, be safe.
Yes, Ma'am. The faith of a mustard seed will get us through all life's trials. God's plan will make itself known in his time. I've learned in my 64 years of life, I just have to get out of the way sometimes and let God put his plan into action. May your blessing continue to flow!
actually when I stopped trying to control things, after my dear hubby died I was diswrough, and turned the wheel over to Jesus, and you won't believe how well things are going now, I am totally blessed
After I realized most of what we worry about never happens. I decided to just let go of trying to control outcomes and enjoy the ride; and the surprise at the end. God works in entertaining ways.
my son is now 41 and still talks about building stuff with dad. Jeremy, you are doing it right. he may not do it right now, but he is proud of helping build stuff for the horses. The build is moving along, and it gave you a minute to step away and together improve the home , even if it was for the horses. you did not lose build time, and the issues you are having, will be resolved. and yo will be that much more ahead. i was impressed with the shot under the floor. That was a neat glimpse! dont know what the fix will be, but it will be what is needed.
Not that they keep in the video anyway. Taking off the roof and redoing the trusses so that they are put on correctly when harsher weather is on it's way is going to be a huge setback to their timeline and finances. Don't take great editing skills for a lack of worry.
I love how your whole family seems happy, I love seeing the interaction of ALL your animals as well, kids riding sheep, cats playing amoung the cartons, dog always seems to be around you all, and love that you love your entire task and environment whatever is given you embracing with humor, acceptance and grace. a true amazing endeavor, allowing us to come along with you on your journey...Thank You.
Jeremy your a great dad!!! Teaching your son Eli how to build this project with you will forever live in his mind. After Eli disappeared your beautiful daughter Neaveh jumped right in to help Mom & Dad. You have a wonderful family and I'm sure they make you proud. May God continue to bless the Sousa family.
God's is in TOTAL control!! Wait upon the LORD!! Always!! Great time to see others be their best. God wants our mercy, not our sacrifice. You two are amazing!!
Sad for your rafter issue, but thankfully they will get it taken care of for you. So happy that the children at the hospital will be blessed this Christmas because of your help and all those that were able to donate. God Bless You All! God is smiling down on you too.
I agree Melissa everything works out just the way it's supposed to. And I know everything is going to turn out well for your new home. Great attitude for life when you get lemons make lemonade. 😆
Your storytelling of your family adventures/home builds is what keeps me engaged watching your channel. Your final comments always touching and uplifting. Wonderful way to wrap up each segment of your family story. #GodisGoodEveryDay #NotOurPlansButHis 😊✌️💙
My hubby & I built our first project together in 1984. I had never worked with such a OCD builder & my first husband & I had helped our contractor build our house. Our last big project we did was our barn apartment retirement home in 2017. This past summer my daughter, her OCD hubby, me & Mooney built our hen house/garden barn. The memories we have built will stay with me FOREVER!!! After 37 years I can’t imagine working with anyone else. But be honest, have you ever thought, this will never happen again 😍😂🙄.
And I love the dog the way he sits there with so much authority looking across the sea if you see anything like a bear or maybe a delivery truck not moving just watching and also making sure you do your work right.. 🤭
I enjoy watching you two doing this on your own and knowing when to call in the pro's. I've been building homes for over 20 years and without completely seeing your truss, my best guess is that the wood in the truss didn't get a stiff back. That's where you add another 2x to make a T or L shape support to provide stiffness and to help keep it fairly straight. Another thing before insulation and drywall, I would suggest putting blocking in for curtains, towel rods, TP holder and along the kitchen wall where your upper cabinets are going. Makes it a lot easier to hang stuff.
Those horses found a wonderful home . The love between you and them Melissa is clearly visible .Hoping you get the roof issue fixed so you can move along. You do seem to be moving pretty steadily

Please consider this...or mud and swamp like area around your feeder.
My thoughts as well !!
We put a stock tank under the barn roof to catch raan water. Working great.
Would it be good to feed it into a trough for them as well? or off into the garden somehow. but always reuse the water somehow.
I think the difference with their feeder is that it's mobile. Adding a trough would make it less mobile unless the trough was on skids also and not attached to the feeder. Sounds like a pain the rear. Easier to just pull the feeder out of a mud bog to a less churned up spot.

Every time I watch ya'lls video's I just get so emotional that I want to tear up, you guy's work so hard to get your dream home built and then you run into problems with your truss's , then the guy's working on your heat comes in, then you get the local news coming in, then the UPS guy comes in, then it rains on you, dang I just love you guy's....just be safe....
AAHHH.... OCD... can be your best friend sometimes. It's good that you caught it before you started going up the wall with siding. I bet the horses are going to be happy with there new dining room. I hope you two get the outside buttoned up soon, winter is almost here, no one likes freezing there buns off..ha. When the siding is done it's time for BBQ steak med. rare and champagne.....Chris
Your children have beautiful smiles. I truly appreciate how you are instilling a work ethic and compassion for others in your videos. Thanks for bringing us along. Stress brings you closer to our creator.
They will want to hire Jeremy! His voice is so soothing and clear!❤️💙👍🏻
Positive thoughts and prayers sent for your gable end. I do love the new horse feeder though! Those are the best!
Real best. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
Your horses are so happy! Rescued horses living their capital L life! Love it!
Love your podcast....my dad was a horse whisperer in Colorado....he had that spiritual connection with all animals until the day he died...so happy to see your family connected with God's creations..
Horses are such a special animal
Loved how you children helped. Just remember God only gives us what we can handle, don't stress out. It doesn't pay. While things are going on in the house, you two don't let grass grow under your feet, you always have things to do. Love you guys, and of course your children. God bless, be safe.
That's true. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
That bit of stress is making you know you're alive, it will get sorted and all will be well and you'll both carry on getting outside finished x
With help like that, Melissa can just ride horses all day! Good job, Eli!
Yes, Ma'am. The faith of a mustard seed will get us through all life's trials. God's plan will make itself known in his time. I've learned in my 64 years of life, I just have to get out of the way sometimes and let God put his plan into action. May your blessing continue to flow!
actually when I stopped trying to control things, after my dear hubby died I was diswrough, and turned the wheel over to Jesus, and you won't believe how well things are going now, I am totally blessed
Delays and detours are protection, so we are in the right place at the correct time.
After I realized most of what we worry about never happens. I decided to just let go of trying to control outcomes and enjoy the ride; and the surprise at the end. God works in entertaining ways.
I love the way you work together. I am too old to ride anymore, but I find a joy in watching you love and run with the horses. Thank you.
Melissa and Jeremy, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your family videos. Melissa, your message was God sent! I really needed it. Love you 💓
my son is now 41 and still talks about building stuff with dad. Jeremy, you are doing it right. he may not do it right now, but he is proud of helping build stuff for the horses.
The build is moving along, and it gave you a minute to step away and together improve the home , even if it was for the horses. you did not lose build time, and the issues you are having, will be resolved. and yo will be that much more ahead.
i was impressed with the shot under the floor. That was a neat glimpse! dont know what the fix will be, but it will be what is needed.
I love how you and Jeremy do not let things bring you down.
Not that they keep in the video anyway. Taking off the roof and redoing the trusses so that they are put on correctly when harsher weather is on it's way is going to be a huge setback to their timeline and finances. Don't take great editing skills for a lack of worry.
I love how your whole family seems happy, I love seeing the interaction of ALL your animals as well, kids riding sheep, cats playing amoung the cartons, dog always seems to be around you all, and love that you love your entire task and environment whatever is given you embracing with humor, acceptance and grace. a true amazing endeavor, allowing us to come along with you on your journey...Thank You.
Your dog is envies of Mannys wool coat, look at him snuggling up to him, so cute 😍
Maybe, but it looked like he was herding him out of the pull barn where they were busy with the horse feeder lol. They are buddies though. :)
I'm so happy for them. So cute 🥰
@@suzannetodaro5494 it's seems like you love watching them. Right
Jeremy your a great dad!!! Teaching your son Eli how to build this project with you will forever live in his mind. After Eli disappeared your beautiful daughter Neaveh jumped right in to help Mom & Dad. You have a wonderful family and I'm sure they make you proud. May God continue to bless the Sousa family.
God's is in TOTAL control!! Wait upon the LORD!! Always!! Great time to see others be their best. God wants our mercy, not our sacrifice. You two are amazing!!
That's true. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
Beautiful property, beautiful animals, and beautiful family...you're are truly blessed Jeremy and Melissa. ✝️
Sad for your rafter issue, but thankfully they will get it taken care of for you. So happy that the children at the hospital will be blessed this Christmas because of your help and all those that were able to donate. God Bless You All! God is smiling down on you too.
That's true And God bless you also. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
your dog is the most loyal partner. He is everywhere you guys are..
You all rock and are such a joy to watch!!! Keep it real... love ya!!!
Love the horse photo bombing the video 🤣
I love when horses nod yes when they are asked a question LOL
So sorry you’ve got these problems, praying you can fix them quickly and economically!
LOVE LOVE YOUR CHANEL GOD BLESS
I agree Melissa everything works out just the way it's supposed to. And I know everything is going to turn out well for your new home. Great attitude for life when you get lemons make lemonade. 😆
I say use the lemons to make Tom Collins drinks LOL, things will work out
Well said Mrs Pam. I agree. It will turn out the way it's supposed to. 👍😁👍
@@barbc8857 Lol that's it
Your storytelling of your family adventures/home builds is what keeps me engaged watching your channel.
Your final comments always touching and uplifting.
Wonderful way to wrap up each segment of your family story.

😊✌️💙
Great seeing the kids involved in the build for the horses and helping with the toy drive your doing a great job of raising little humans
Father and son moments like that are such a confidence booster for a child...and Priceless.
It’s also been a while since you shared your wall of patches… it has grown! Cool!
That's true. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
My hubby & I built our first project together in 1984. I had never worked with such a OCD builder & my first husband & I had helped our contractor build our house. Our last big project we did was our barn apartment retirement home in 2017. This past summer my daughter, her OCD hubby, me & Mooney built our hen house/garden barn. The memories we have built will stay with me FOREVER!!! After 37 years I can’t imagine working with anyone else. But be honest, have you ever thought, this will never happen again 😍😂🙄.
Yall are simply amazing. So many irons in the fire but handle them well with a smile on your faces.
You two have the prettiest and most handsome helpers I have ever seen. 🤗🤗
You guys are such hard workers. I admire that soooo much!
That's nice. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
And I love the dog the way he sits there with so much authority looking across the sea if you see anything like a bear or maybe a delivery truck not moving just watching and also making sure you do your work right.. 🤭
Your family has the greatest attitude and work ethic...lovely to witness!
How cute the little pato walk taking the horse feeder out .
I enjoy watching you two doing this on your own and knowing when to call in the pro's. I've been building homes for over 20 years and without completely seeing your truss, my best guess is that the wood in the truss didn't get a stiff back. That's where you add another 2x to make a T or L shape support to provide stiffness and to help keep it fairly straight. Another thing before insulation and drywall, I would suggest putting blocking in for curtains, towel rods, TP holder and along the kitchen wall where your upper cabinets are going. Makes it a lot easier to hang stuff.
Agree wholeheartedly with your suggested “blocking”, Jamie, best value for your time and materials. You’ll appreciate it later... every time.
I would imagine that you should get even more toys with the local news picking up your story 😉👍
Those horses found a wonderful home . The love between you and them Melissa is clearly visible .Hoping you get the roof issue fixed so you can move along. You do seem to be moving pretty steadily
That's true. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
Melissa, your comment, at the end, about when plans change, was very timely for me! Thank you, and God bless you!
God bless you also. It's seems like you love watching them. Right
