Barn building footwear: flip-flops and crocs 😂 You're making a very nice homestead for yourselves. Well done!

You sir are a machine. Working full time at an incredibly hard job and start over when you get back home. Thank goodness you’re young enough to get this all done and still have time to enjoy the fruits of your labour. And Katie my goodness this young woman is so tough and still so beautiful. Hats off to this great team and your lovely beasts. Fan in Ottawa 👵🐶🥰🇨🇦😊

doing a great job have fun when your 73 years old you'll be glad you did it.

You guys need a set of forks for that tractor. A friend of mine, father broke his back and is now a paraplegic doing the exact same thing you guys are doing, using that bucket to lift things like logs. Log rolled back on him because he hit a gopher hole. Log rolled back, down the loader arms, broke the muffler and pinned him in the seat. Loader fork with a back stop can be acquired fairly easy and there not that costly

Greg the spider monkey and Katie the flipflop Queen lol Great vid guys, I enjoy the milling and building! Personally I’m glad it’s flipflop (barefoot) weather instead of the snow..better content out there! Have a great weekend y’all!

Just realized I have been watching you two for years, from the time when you were setting forms, cement work and getting the animal collection together. I have told you I'm in a wheelchair and can't walk yet but that is my goal in my golden years. The years are very bright, full of projects, getting a Van outfitted to travel around my beautiful Island in just a few weeks. Love watching you two build your abode in the woods, Love your dogs too.

Sometimes I wish we had smell-o-vision, because I love the way fresh cut wood smells, lol! The barn is looking great you guys, love you! ❤ Edit: Also, the drone footage of the eagle was SO COOL!! And your 4 new little babies are so floofy and adorable Katie 🥰❤️

I truly believe that Cottonwood is a most misunderstood kind of lumber. Here in central alaska, we do have some beautiful cottonwood trees... some of our black spruce is okay but just about all we have to work with locally.... well the birch is really nice but not a softwood. I used cottonwood by soaking it in the pond after sawing it into lumber to keep it from warping too badly or kept it in narrow widths. I used it fairly green and then soaked it with a concoction of diesel and transmission oil as I was so broke at the time that paying attention was a pain.... I put it on my little garage I had built to work out of rain and mud. It turned out so beautiful that I re sided my house with it and did the same thing. I did figure out that if you don't cover it in other wood or tight paper insulation, it didn't rot or warp near so bad. It is still on that house and little shop building the bank now owns when you get crippled and can't make a simple cheap payment every month.... I had to wait for insurance to kick in which it did, just too late and banks don't have hearts or even a small amount of feeling for their people... we are just numbers in a system... hurt so bad. I ain't so sure about roofing so will be interesting to see how it lasts.... and of course, there is always another day to re do it if necessary.. hopefully not tho. Those little chickens are soooo cute... coming from a guy no less

The barn is looking really good hard work pays off well done ❤️🦋🇦🇺👍🇦🇺

Sure wish you wore boots to help protect those lower digits! All this stuff to some is junk, but, Greg saved it and now it becomes building materials that will last a long time, WONDERFUL, glad to see it help offset the cost of this build! and, it adds character!

Mill your own wood in your own land , what a great accomplishment, gold land , ❤

Hi Greg & Katie! I just got your notification & I see everyone has commented. How strange I just am seeing the video now! Well…so Happy you are growing as a channel all your hard work is paying off and soon a new barn😊! ❤️to you both & all your beautiful fur babies!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

Your barn is going to be nice! Watching Greg literally climb up the side of the barn was amazing, it takes a lot of strength to do that! You two work so hard, happy you’re able to clean up your yard a little.

In Oklahoma cottonwood trees are considered weeds. Fast growing then die. May not be same species. Your work is beautiful to watch!

I don;t commet very much but i have been watching you 2 for awile and i must say you are not scared of hard work.

Love the use of the word..."salvaged" from work....🤣 Great build guys, working hard 👍🏻

you were correct. That was a lot of work, but well worth the results.

Your man's a beast, climbing up the wall to the roof. Following along with you projects. Love it.

Another fun fact about cottonwood, is it burns extremally hot but it's stinky like crap. Something else that might be interesting to see would be if you guys took a chunk or your Rockwool insolation and try to torch it to see if it will catch on fire and keep burning on its own. You live in a tender box environment and it would suck if your house was susceptible to a major fire. I hope your planning on burning the bottom of your first row of sighting that covers the metal flashing. Good video.

It is super satisfying to finally use upcycled materials.

The Barn is looking Amazing! And the baby chicks are ADORABLE ♥️

You are building yourself a beautiful barn out of new, freshly cut lumber. It will be very functional because it is built to meet your needs and plans, and has a fascinating style and design. And the hardboard siding will be excellent - it beats vinyl siding by far! The windows will do well for your purpose. Tidying up the yard and building the barn seems to go together. You will be very happy with the final result, and so will be the animals! It is a joy to see your dedication and perseverance! Keep it up. And I just love the surroundings where you live!

Barn is coming along great! Way to go you all. 👍🕊🙏🏼🕊. You both take pride in what you work on and create.♥️

The barn is looking really good. Greg looks like Spider Man climbing up on the frame

This video felt like progress and SPRING 😍.. the music was extra viibey too

Cottonwood is a fairly soft wood. It scores a 430 on the Janka hardness scale. Southern Yellow Pine is 850. Barn is looking so good. So nice to have your own lumber yard in your yard! Thanks for sharing

I love that you have a plethora of collected used materials that you are able to finally create a structure with. Purposeful building. Waste not - Want not. 😊

I am totally at ease watching what you are doing and how you both work together. Blessings.

Perhaps my view was limited; I could still see that the lower portion of the barn had a stunning appearance due to its metal and color. Great job.

The chicks are adorable! Barn is coming together nicely. I was wondering about the bus, when will it be gone?

Katie, the windows look fantastic after you did your magic.

Thanks for the video, wish they were longer. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅

Cottonwood just has a lot of water content usually. It’s strong enough but it takes a while to dry. Let’s see how green cottonwood works on your barn build. It looks great.

Greetings from Denmark…. Enjoy your lifestyle and approach to life and challenges.

Looks good and good idea using metal bottom band!

Barn is coming along nicely! Have you thought about insulating it? If you wanted to you could do it the old-fashioned way and use sawdust. That is of course if you could find a place to get some that is. Hmmm, wonder where that could be??? Keeper crankin'!l You're doing great!

You guys do a heck of a job on this building is Born I've been watching you from the start and I'm gonna keep Watching to you finish❤

I liked the ckicken “castlel...so nice large and nice tall open place...they will be in very safe for the animals and accessible area for you 😊

When I see all that labor in your construction ( which I love ) It certainly not for free ,you two are very valuable & don't ever under istimate your selfs. love yeah guys.

Love the safety shoes. Lol. There is nothing wrong with Cottonwood. It falls in the hardwoods but it's acualy it's a soft wood. When we lived in Abbotsford we burned it for firewood for over 20 years. It'll be fine for what your doing.

Wow, that video of the eagle was spectacular.

Very nice job Katie,& Greg. Can’t wait to see the finished product.💯💕👍🏾💜🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

I'm glad to see that you are getting beneficial use out of those saw blades and chain.😀

love your smile katie, keep up the great work guys.😃

It must be great to have so much timber available anytime you need it .

I heard about all fires up there in Canada and feel for you but we have been getting a lot of smoke here from them and nice job on barn build

Good job well done Katie & Gregg !👍👍👍

looking good. Nice you were able to use materials you were going to recycle, then changed your mind and now using them (Hardboard).

Hi Katie and Greg. I will try not to say anything you have already read. "But mommy, you have to give me a head start when you throw the frisbee and when you are outside, you are supposed to play with all of my toys I bring you, OK?" The cottonwood looks nice. I suppose the darker wood near the center of the plank is closer to the center of the tree. I may have said this but, "The more you save, the less you buy" and you are doing just that. You knew you would use it one day, just not when. Have good days!

The barn is going to come in very handy for you.

The barn is coming along nicely, keep up the good work!

Just something I noticed 😮..... if you pry the frame up from outside, it will be easier to hammer 🔨 it into place, because you won't be fighting the angle of the lever. Hope this helps. I am fascinated with your skills and "get er done" attitudes! ❤

Wieder mal ein sehr schönes Video

awesome you both are tireless worker. katie i salute you standing shoulder to shoulder with greg, never let him down. g

Awesome job you 2 I cannot spell two 😂😇 looking forward to seeing finished product.

Fill the south facing vertical gap in the roof with some type of window. The poly carbonate might work for southern light into the barn.

Glad you put more structure to the walls to stabilise the build. Looking good as it's progressing. It's a barn build that doesn't need perfection but more functionality. Nice work while the temps are still cool.

The barn is coming along well. you got so much done. The roof, milling, frames and the metal around the Bottom of the frames. it is looking very good

The barn looks great guys it’s coming along awesome

They certainly have so.e nice colors

My Son, uses cottonwood for target boards, for axe throwing.

You make it great!

Greg, for a roofer, you’re a damn good framer as well!. Nice job!.

Nice job 👍 I’m coming with my suitcase next week, do you already know where my bed will be ? 🤣🤣🤣

You NEED a very high pressure washer to spray OFF the gravel, sand, dirt, mud and the bark that contains these items. It will save time plus the extra wear and tear on your blades and your mill.

Hey you guys, everything is looking great

Seems like Crocks and shorts are the attire for all homesteaders, GREAT CHOICE I might add

Excellent guys! You got a lot accomplished. Great job and keep it up. Cute little chicks. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

Great teamwork and progress !

Good job guys the barn is coming along, very nice

Looks great guys, love the 2 tier roof! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

superb mission u are both on, hard grafters for sure, well done

pěkná stodola

Great work you guys, hope to see you soon. Here is the big question of the day. When are you going to get rid of the bus.

Oh my gosh. The eagle was just absolutely beautiful. The barn, baby chicks, everything you guys are doing😊 incredible. Good job guys😊

Nice work you guys. Katie rocks.

the way you tormented the goat boys at the end 😂

Awesome job guys My first question is you don’t have pallet forks for your tractor and then the second question is all of that wood is fresh cut, not dried and it works fine, correct everybody’s telling me I can’t build a house with fresh cut wood/lumber

really good job with the drone shots when he's on the roof putting down the boards. also LOVE the thought of "free" boards if you mill them on your own property

Looking great ..from outback Western Australia..

Nice looking chicks. Barn build is awesome

Coming together nicely.

Looking good!

Looking good guys. I admire your energy. Regards Leon South Africa

Moving right along!

Looking good guys 🎉

Getting there looking good ave a good day

Good job guy's! Looking good, and even windows in a chicken coop!? Katie your sure one strong girl (hauling the board's around,, ect) with a good and strong work ethic. As well as smart enough to take care of the cameras and the animal when need be. I've been watching form close to the start. Keep working and maybe soon(?) you'll only have finish work to do. :) Greg your also a get up and do something type person. Make you two a good pair.
