John, that camera view with the drone at the end was spectacular!!

Gday always worth the wait. You all made it look so easy to work with wood and built it. Great to see all the family in it. Always one of your very faithful follower see you on the next one Robert

Knowledge earned, is more enduring than knowledge given. She will learn and never forget.

Finally John, I have been going thru withdrawal waiting for a new video!

Jon you're doing a awesome job doing this mostly alone. Meg does a great job when she's home. You too are awesome building it on your own. Take Care and God Bless you all

I’m so excited. Haven’t watched yet. Have very much missed seeing you guys. HUGS!😊👍

Love seeing your dream come together! Helps keep me motivated to keep pushing on ours!!

Great video! I sure miss weekly video, but I understand! Keep up the great work.

Brings back memories of when we built our own house, with our own hands in 1970, pre-cordless tools....LOL. It's still standing, and all the cabinetry and interior doors were also built by me. I'm not a carpenter; just a D-I-Y guy who learned as I read and executed. Learned a lot along the way, like you. Used lumber yard lumber, though, back when it was QUALITY material, not imported or banana/propeller grade. Built while working a full-time job (8 hours at work, 8 hours on the house build, and 8 hours of sleep....rinse, repeat) LOL. Great engineering and design, and well built there, Jon.

WOW, it’s been a month already? Happy to see all is doing well. Megs office is going to be AWSOME! Keep up the great work Jon. 👋🏻😎👍🏻

Wow you’re back thank goodness for that I’ve missed your videos

It appears that the knowledge you've learned is paying off.

Looking great 😊

Look at that, it’s so cool and well built, Jon, you get an A+!!!

Jon needs a good Whacking, especially after showering in sawdust like that and who better to provide that special Whack than roundhouse Meg! You can do it Megster. The whole house lifting world is behind you...Beautiful ending with the girls & drone view. Always a fun comedy bonus too. Worldwideweb approves.

Well you taught me something about finding 1/2 of a fraction I did not know. When you think about it, I was saying duh, that makes total sense. I should have thought of that years ago. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you for the episode. Great progress and a lot of work done. Keep it up John and family.

Great progress 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. You're just starting.

The lumber drying spot , mill, and the drying building sure make sense, now.

I think you're right. Let anyone that ignores good advice suffer the consequences.

You guys!!!! You have a structure!! I am beyond excited for ya'll! Nice job Jon! And I love the walls using the boards - very cool.

The building looks very nice.

Nice building with diagonal board

I'm sure that most people on this channel will agree that the values alone that you are teaching to your children is so wonderful . I don't remember but I'm sure you said but where did you get your great carpentry skills from ? We already know of your electronics skills from the control board you built and programed for your saw mill . Great show as usual . Keep up the good work . But we all know you thrive on this ...

Jon, when you're framing, you also need to be thinking about wall surfaces such as paneling, drywall, T&G, whatever you decide is fine, but you need to adding blocking in the corners and think about rafter placement along the perimeter. Since that last ceiling joist doesn't truly matter, you can put it just insde the edge of the top plate and it becomes your nailer instead of having to add another board.

Take care with your nailer, the temptation can be to hold the trigger and press the safety against the board. I went to a chap with an industrial air nailer who had accidentally pressed the safety against his thigh while holding the trigger. You can only imagine the carnage that was his Femur ! Your gun is much slower and new, however take care please. Great to see timber going up instead of down. Before my Dad showed me the angle cuts you were doing I would have ended up with a little pile of Triangles 🙂 Greet to see the whole family together too.

It's nice to be able to do things at your own speed. No hurry to leave the trailer. You can tell you have been having a blast from day one.

love your channel remindes me of us before our can do cant keep up with our want to

Great work John. The clarity of your video is really good, and it's nice to see your progressing and learning on the job.

Great work by a great team. Wish I was up there helping you.

Good job guys. It's starting to look like an office. Once it is water tight you can relax a little and sit back and admire your work. Cheers. EJ

Awesome job !

Love it!

Great episode. One of the best yet. Keep up the great work. That last drone shot was wonderful. It makes me want to buy property in the Ozarks and build!

I sure have been missing y'all's videos. You seem to teach this old man something new every time. I never new about the way of finding the half of a fraction. See old dogs can learn new tricks... LOL... You are so blessed to have Meg. I wish my wife would be as willing to help me the way Meg helps you. I ask my wife to help me and she says ya in a minute then the minute turners into an hour. So I ask ger again and she says oh I forgot and I'll have to wait because she's now to busy. I got to give her some slack she's 64 years old and her memory is not so good... LOL... We just found our new homestead down in Columbus Kentucky. So come July 24th it will be ours. Great part is we'll be buying CASH. We've sold this big old house here in Wisconsin for enough to be able to buy the homestead and still have a bit left over to move and do a little fixing up it needs. There's 26 acres for me to get lost in... LOL... I love you kids, be blessed in Jesus name... BBE..

Hey Jon, You done good! It's nice to see your progress, and hoping you get a bunch more done before it gets cold! You probably know this but the DeWalt can switch modes where you can just hold the trigger and do a bump mode.

Great job.

Nice. 👍🏻👏👏

So excited to be seeing you again! Love the build. Love your choice to diagonal the sides. (even if we won't see it later.) What a treat to see everyone in this episode. I don't remember that little green vehicle. Does it have a story and name?

Getting a header board for anchoring drapes to a window was a task I had for my dad.

I will be driving to Ohio via I-77 on Saturday. I will be about 55 miles from you when I hit Wytheville early Saturday morning. I will wave as I'm going by.

Great to see you guys again! Looks like you can use a "go-for", how about id-August?

Da taught me always to wear gloves unless the job cant be done while doing so. I have worked with my hands all my life and never have I had a clause or gotten a splinter (but when I dont wear my gloves for some reason

Maybe I missed it?!? Did you explain why the north wall is 2x6? Good job on the build. We'll be doing the same really soon 😉

You are learning everything I now have forgotten. Call it what you want to, I just had a heart attack, plus being stubborn and using sugar in everything... brain coated in sugar like the gas you use in your vehicles has taken its toll. Now two weeks later, two stints in my heart and no way to really change things up quick enough to make a difference in how long I live. I raised girls so attire is not needed for me to comment on. Difficult years and hard times ahead. I keep advising you to use a palm nailer and yet maybe now too expensive to purchase this very useful tool. They really don't weigh much and so easy on the tool belt weight. The offset of them tho is so dang slow to use. Less than twenty years ago, I could buy a quarter inch thick by two inch square of steel for around twenty five dollars and now its twelve hundred dollars for that same twenty one foot stick of steel. Oddly we crush millions of tons of scrap steel, most used for rebar... that said, there is also much reclaimed as good structural steel. Wet weather and short days for your area while its still twenty four seven daylight here in alaska where I live at. Waiting to save money on nails might just prove a undoing of saving money for consumables. I heard Jesse Muller (hopefully names spelled correctly) say that in a average home, there are eighty thousand nails used in building a house. Of course these too are all averages and so for that small house.... a pocket book sized bill for just the nails. Another huge cost in consumables is screws so that cost should play into building costs. My huge puppy (a sausage on legs) is about twelve and some years of age, we are slowed down at about the same rate. Nothing but hope for your build as you go along and build this home for people I care about. Never met you kids but its a thing that I do not try to explain. Just enjoy life as its not determined as how much time or other that your here on this earth to enjoy each other. Make sure you don't wish you had said... I am sorry for what ever it might be.

Dont cut ur hair. Remember the Sampson myth

If you're only going to put out one video per month l am leaving. Sorry
