All couples argue (IMO), but it is how you work together that counts. I feel that their relationship is more grounded than most, and they work well together. If you keep making video's I will keep watching.

You sure are right about that Ronald Ss. My grandparents were farmers and both worked very hard but seldom together. Grandma cleaned the house and cooked the meals and if she stepped out the door it was to work in the garden but You would never see her swinging a hammer or using a saw. They enjoyed life together but they both had clearly different rolls in making that possible. What was really even more amazing is they rarely had a day go by they didn't argue about something yet they remained married for over 65 years before grandpa past away.

You guys are my heroes. For your courage to undertake this entire project, I salute you. For your curious nature to learn so many new things to move this entire project along, I admire you. For your ability to overcome adversity no matter the difficulty, I laud you. For your strength and courage to keep working despite being exhausted, dealing with the need to make changes unexpectedly and still being mentally and physically able to carry on, I remain in awe of your determination. You have dealt with tough decisions, inclement weather, trouble shooting on a regular basis and an occasional critter issue, yet you continue on. Amazing! I pray that both of you will remain in good health and suffer no debilitating injuries while you continue the process of finishing your home and that you will still love each other when it is complete. I'm looking forward to the finished product that will be your home and that you will live happily forever after with Gods grace. Jane and her wacky sidekick Lola, the Boston Terrier I

Don't pay attention to those who are posting trolling comments. Watching you go through all of this is highly valuable for those of us just getting started on projects like this. Highly motivating. I don't know that I would be as brave! My husband and I are waiting for a beach lot to sell so that we can pick out our homesteading property up here in the Pacific Northwest. We have moved out of the house we were renting and are living in a 40' school bus that we are converting into an RV. The goal is to be able to just drive onto the land and live in the bus until we get our own house built. This is a lot like your journey in a way. We are taking this opportunity to evaluate our power/water/shelter needs so we don't have to wait until we are on open land. I couldn't believe how little we actually need! Anyway, keep it up! We are enjoying watching your progress. :)

They aren't proffessional's, they make do with what they have. There is a million ways they could make life easier for themselves, but that is what their journey is about. Mistakes will be made. They will learn along the way. They share those mistakes with us! Be grateful for that! They show more humanity in showing us those mistakes than most ever could! They are dedicated to this build, dedicated doing it with what they have instead of going and buying a new tool every second they need one. To the two of you, keep up the hard work and thank you so much for sharing this journey with us!

Had the same problems with the ICF houses we built, but we had the luxury of finding the problem on the first row. So we shimmed the first row and spray foamed the gaps at the bottom. Then reinforced the bottom with lumber. Experience is what you now have. Keep going. The walls are very forgiving as they are solid concrete. as long as the wall isn't leaning it will work.

To you nay sayers, when was the last time any of you started a new skill and got everything perfect the first time? I'd say few if any of you at all managed to step into a new skill set and did a better job! Yes, they are not doing everything perfect, but the mistakes they are making are those that you know from experience not to make. They are earning their degree in the school of hard knocks. At the very least they are making the effort and keeping a smile on while they are plugging through. I applaud Alyssa and Jesse's courage to take on a difficult project and document it, mistakes and all.

You should go straight to work super early, skip lunch aside from a snack and siesta at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Do your phone calls and computing during siesta, take a nap, eat dinner, then go back to work for a couple hours and come up with a gameplan for the next morning. 6am to 2pm then 5-7pm. Only mad dogs and Englishmen work out in the heat. You had my head hurting by five minutes into this one.

screwing things together has its place, but for instance connecting the diagonal braces to the steel pins I would opt to use 16D double head "duplex" nails. When done just pull the nails, let them drop and voila a done deal. Also another use for nails is what we called"grade nails. When done forming weather plywood or foam, set your laser at the heigth or top of the wall and stick nails from the outside toward the inside of the forms (icf). Then you float the crete to the top of the nails. Another good trick is to cut the mag float off at both ends equally to fit inside the forms, like minus a 1/2". Works great, the grade nails help with not having to cut the top of the forms to finish heigth! use that laser it is indispensable!!!

Hi guys this is in reference to watching you struggle with the drilling of concrete. My back ground i have been a carpenter since I was 17 ( I am 59 now) now I run building sites and refurbishments of old large manor houses for some very wealthy people. You will always struggle drilling in to concrete with the impact drill you are using they were designed for drilling soft brick or blocks like the aerated cilcon blocks we use in the UK. you need is an SDS hammer drill Like the Makita DHR 242Z it uses the same 18 volt battery's that you are all ready using, I have one and it's used all the time, I have had it for 2 years and not had a problem with it, and the fact that your house is going to be made of concrete you would find it a real boon when you start the fit out. I love watching the blogs and videos and the fact that you both work so well together keep your chins up and you will no doubt get the house you want. Kind regards Simon.s

It is good to look at doing hard work. I would also like to adviser you carefully about the properties of wood. All the wood is warped or distorted when the sun goes down. There is no way to twist, but when it is recessed, turn the tree over and sprinkle a little water to get it right again. So the tree should always be laid horizontally in the shade. Good Luck!^^

It's a little late in the process to ask but why don't you remove a couple of ICFs in the front wall and bend some of the vertical rebar over sideways and make a gravel ramp over the footer until you finish the other 3 walls? I would think that not having to hump everything over the 16" high forms and around/thru the rebar would be a huge time and energy saver.

you should put caps on the bars you have in the ground for your bracing, pop a few orange ones on then from your rebar

Great work guys! I really enjoy watching your videos & seeing your progress, I'm sure you'll both enjoy watching these too once everything's built. I can't wait to watch your future homesteading videos too (once the building work is all done) :D.
