Brother, our hearts hurt with you two. Know that we love you and are praying for you both. Rejoice in the good times, and the bad. It's not easy, but as you know, God inhabits our praise! Continue to fight the good fight, and live life to the fullest. You are not talking too much, as we love you and wanted to know how she is doing. We appreciated the update.

Take care buddy. You're a pretty amazing guy. You don't owe us anything.

While we make plans for the future we still live one day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time. A prayer for God's Blessings and Love to your family.

What a witness, on all fronts. Peace to you and the fam.

My son once said to me , dad if there really is a God why would he take mommy for us . This question broke my heart . I told him that the Lord didn't take mommy away , he save hurt . He waited as long as he could and then stepped in at the very moment he felt was rite and took her form the pain she was in , not from us . My heart goes out to you and your family along with many prayers , never give up fighting and as we both know everything is possible through Jesus Christ ...

I understand ,, I lost both legs to the hips . I've been in a wheelchair for 16 yrs now. It's been rough but also a blessing, I have got closer with all my kid's, my big family and my God. I hope and pray you and your family nothing but good .. God speed

I loved that you said "I get to stay home" instead of "have to". Your love for her is very apparent as is your gratitude for the opportunity to do do.

About 4 years ago I found a lump in my neck. Of course it was a malignant cancer. I was told it was a difficult one to cure and I must not expect too much. !8 months later I was sent home damaged but cured. I still am cured. I asked and was told the reason I beat the cancer was because I fought it and never believed I would die. Also I kept a positive mind and attitude. The Doctors and Nurses told me a positive my attitude might be what saved me, it certainly helped a lot. Perhaps you might pass this on to your lovely Wife.

I was just to heartbroken when you lost your dear mother and I remembered what a blessing she was to you and your wife. Praying for your beautiful family and for that lovely lady you are married to. May God hold you all in His mighty hand and more GOOD days for her right? I love your video's and that cabin is looking so good and you are so talented! AND......you are a wonderful husband and in this day and age that's rare.

You encourage and inspire us a lot, Mr. "O", and we're very grateful to you and your family for letting us share your burdens. That takes, and asks, a lot; especially for people in this modern age. You might not see the forest for the trees sometimes...but you know it's always there, defining your path! Thanks for letting us walk alongside you!

Kia Ora As a 30 year survivor of Chronic illness I can tell you that your unwavering love and support of your wife is THE most important thing you can do for her. Knowing I can rely on my parter utterly when things are bad, with no question or grumble from him is the only reason I have survived this long. And at times it’s bad, the worst pain you can imagine, if I was on my own I wouldn’t still be here, but because I have that same commitment from him that you give your wife gives me a reason to continue. And I’m sure Mrs O feels the same. Bless you for being who you are. I’d also like to say how both your videos and those of other talented, dedicated You Tubers are also a huge blessing to me, you’ve all got me through many a long night when the pain has kept me awake. I even sometimes save your latest video for when I REALLY need the distraction. Please keep doing what you are doing, the world needs people like you more than ever. With love to all the Outsider family Beverley Aotearoa 🇳🇿 (New Zealand)

Thank you a lot for the words on Mrs Outsider. You guys are being heroic. I think there's a lot of us out here giving you a lot of love. I know I am.

I’m so sorry about your wife’s new health developments. My prayers go out to you all, including your dad.

Best wishes to your wife my friend. Cabin is looking great.

I love the sincerity in your voice when talking about your wife. It's good that she has you to lean on. God bless brother.

Dear outsider(s), Thanks for being a living sign of the greatness of humanity at its best. In a world that seem harsher by the day, it is people like you that make us feel there is still beauty, humanity, selflessness and hope. It make me ashamed about lamenting when I see what you cope whilst keeping a positive attitude. You are like a lighthouse in our stormy world and I have no words good enough to tell you how thankful I am for the human being you are. May the Lord protect your wife, your child and your dad. Our prayers are for their health, their and your joy. Thanks again. Pierre from Switzerland

Thank you for giving us an update. We are very hopeful and want you to know we truly care about you, your beautiful wife and daughter’s health and well being. Every day is a blessing and I know your family appreciates every minute. You are always in our prayers. The views of the snow were absolutely beautiful. Stay strong. Til the next one.

I am feeling with you. My wife has MS and there were times I felt the same way you do. But you always can life with a sickness and still have a very happy life. We thank the Lord that there was a new medication eight years ago that helped my wife to recover a lot. Last year she had to change the medication but still is in a good condition. So I pray, that the Lord will help you and your wife in a similar way and that your wife can recover.

Awesome 👏 job outsider! Praying 🙏 for you, your wife and Senior Outsider! Today marks 4 years ago that I lost my one of my son to a car accident 5-23-2016. I know it’s been 4 years but it still hurts not having my son. So it’s a huge blessing watching the two of you father & son. My message to you both is to cherish every single day you have together! I know my son was saved & I’ll see him again in Heaven one day. But that emptiness here on earth is still there. I’m Really enjoying watching you father & son working together, I pray God blesses you both & you have many more years together! CC Rider 👍😁👍❤️✝️

Medical issues in the family can be an awesome challenge. Folks who aren’t in it often don’t understand. Those of us who have been through it do understand. Every minute spent with yours girls is absolutely worth it. As always, I am in awe of your woodcraft skills.

GODspeed to your wife, family and you. Walking the walk oftentimes reaches more than talking the talk.

Thanks for letting us know that it is time to double down on prayers. ❤️ Sending healing love and light and prayers to all in need.🤗

Indeed a Powerful Witness. I cannot imagine your pain brother. My mom died in January at 84. All I know is she is no longer suffering. That's a blessing. I enjoy your videos very much. When you share your walk with us we know you a little bit better. That's a gift. Thank you.

So sorry for Mrs. Outsider. Praying for her and your family.

I'm sanding all the positive energy towards you and your family, stay strong! Even if at times it seems like life is unfair and you ask yourself why all of that is happening to you at the end it's all for a reason to teach you something or guide you in a specific direction. Stay positive and don't let it beat you down.

With all the stuff going on in your life your videos remain excellent quality and amazing work! Stay strong my friend and take care of your family first! Your KZfaq family is always here for you.

God bless you and your family. Each week I am nearly brought to tears by the power of your message, and by your faith. Your videos matter, and I don't think I am alone when I say how much I count on them each week. Not how much I look forward to them (which I do) but how much I count on them... They give me strength, inspiration and motivation to "keep fighting the good fight," all while reminding me to stay humble and kind. You make it look so easy but that is all more the testament to your character, because we all know that it isn't. Yet you stay positive, and inspiring. Your message reaches, and it resonates. The world needs more people like you and your family, what a better place it would be!

Thanks for sharing! I pray she gets better. I totally get sick of health problems!!

I lost my Sister in 2018 to glioma. I miss her terribly. God Bless you and your family, sir.

PS---that piece of music you added after your chat with us---I love that music...so calming

Thanks so much for your update on your family life. My sister is now three years cancer free. Every day, every moment is precious and we don’t get a do-over. So I am glad you are able to and enjoy being with your family. Blessings to you and yours.

Life is not all roses and fairy tales. Life is made of the good, the bad and the in between. Thank you for sharing.

I remember watching the video you made with her - it was one of the first I watched of yours, but I have been here ever since because I saw how brave she is and how good you are to her. Unfortunately life is not something we can see ahead of or what it will be like. We just need to live it one day at a time and stay stead fast in the beliefs we have (regardless of what they are). We may not understand it now, but everything happens for a reason. Please tell your wife to focus ahead of you and do not waiver from the path! God Speed to you and your entire Family (from mine)!

I'm saddened by your story but at the same time, I found it very inspiring that you are so devoted to your wife and family. Sending lots of love to your wife and all the family. May you keep a light of hope and a lot of strength. My best wishes to you all.

Hey I worked construction for 35 years but I got rheumatoid arthritis and neuropathy real bad in my feet. I love watching you work. You both are an inspiration. Thanks for what you do. Thanks for letting us into your wonderful woods. We marvel at their beauty. Peace and prayers.

Wow! My heat goes out to you and your wife. I have a degenerative and incurable neurological disease for the last 43 years. I'm 61 now. I've have learnt to make the most of time and to enjoy. as many moments as possible. Thanks for sharing the outdoors and cabin building process. You are helping me and many others. Thank you!

Thank you for the update, l have been wondering how she is.l will pray for your wife and family.

God bless your wife, daughter, you and the rest of the family. I have followed you for some time now, first because you are an amazing person and second because of the cabin build.

My sister has serious health challenges, and every day contains some sadness and worry for her, though I try not to show it. She's amazing and philosophical about it....the one who keeps our close knit family going. I was so happy when she came along to my (pallet) cabin build for 2 weeks last Summer. She was such a great help, physically and spiritually. I watched her pain slip away as we worked through the tasks...2 women on a remote mountainside, just loving each other's company and getting it done. I empathise with your family challenges, my heart goes out to you all. Your wife reminds me of my lovely sister....beautiful, kind and wise. Wishing you all the best. You and your Dad are a hugely inspiring. Thank you.

Greetings from North Carolina to the outsider family. Prayers going out for you 🙏🏻 I too am a prostate cancer survivor of 15 years and I have a log cabin I built in the NC mountains which is a 3 hour drive away. Amid the trials and tribulations of life , when we look around ,it’s not hard to find others with greater troubles than ours and we can reflect on how blessed we are in most any circumstance. Keep the videos coming when you can , but most importantly, take care of your precious family. Many of us are praying 🙏🏻 and pulling for you , as you are an inspiration. God Bless.

I was shocked with today's episode Sir.. I did not know!! You are amazing, thank you for what you do for us too.

Good morning from Michigan, may God bless you and your wife through this difficult time. Also bless you for being there for your wife as a devoted husband

My wife and I are both nurses we are constantly reminded of the struggles other face on a daily bases. Peace favor your family. God bless and may your days be better!

My wife is recovering from throat cancer and so I feel for you. Women just stun me with their bravery. I am an atheist so all I can do is just send you my best wishes and applaud your good works. I hope your faith continues to support you.

Thanks for the update on your wife. We will be praying more for you all. What can we do to help you?

My heart goes out to you and your family, although I'm not religious I totally understand the "keeping the faith" side of things. Thank you so much for the update and I hope your wife's health improves. Until next time my friends 👍👍❤

I have been watching your channel for a while but only just watching the start of your cabin being done. Its coming along. My heart goes out to your wife and the suffering she is going through. I am writing this 3 years after you posted this. So I hope and pray that her condition has changed. I am keeping you both in my prayers.

Thank you for sharing!! Yes, Chronic illness affects everything and it can change daily! Embrace the blessings, the gift of time and ability to do something however small. May you and your family enjoy each other. May Mr. Senior be comforted by God.

I’m so sorry to hear of Mrs. Outsider’s condition. I’m on my second round of chemo myself following chemo, radiation and surgery at the end of last year. Faith and being positive has helped me through the bad days as there are many. All we have is time, our faith and each other. I hope that Mrs. Outsider has more good days than bad and her condition improves. I call it my special brand of misery that I know is necessary. Y’all are in my prayers and I hope you remain strong and positive as that is a challenge within itself. It was nice to see your pop in the video at the build site. I’m sure last year was a trying time for all with the passing of your mom. God bless and hang in there. Let’s all make the most of the time we have.

You are a real man standing up for your family hang in there mate .and keep on rocken it

I am so happy to hear that you are dedicated to God, your wife, and your children. You are an example to so many. May God grant your wife comfort and restore her health. I look forward to your videos every week.

We're all with you brother. Just said a prayer for you both. My wife has thyroid disease and hoshimoto's so we understand the struggles. Keep fighting the good fight,, we support you as best as we can here in internet world. You have one of the best channels and best content here on KZfaq.

God bless you and your family. You are a great young man dedicated to your family through good or bad. As a father of two young daughters I can only pray that they find some one of your nature for them. I have seen tough times in my life and god has always been there to guide me and help me provide for my family. Look forward to your next video and good luck.

Thankyou for update on all fronts...never ever apologise for sharing...someone always needs to hear it and it’s good for the soul to share and it helps us all be more specific in prayer...please wear a safety harness doing that roof...I held my breath while you were taking down the rafters...you family needs you fit and healthy! 😉😉🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕

God Bless you and your family!!! I lost a friend to cancer a week ago. She fought for 14 years. I can't imagine what you have been through. Keep it up. The cabin will be done one day. Family is always first!!!

Thanks for sharing your stories today. It blessed me to hear your commitment to your family and to hear about a man with great priorities. Thank you for modeling true love in sickness and in health. Praying Psalm 62:1-2 over you and your family.

So sad to hear of your wife's set backs. Hope things improve with time. I too understand your struggles and am glad to see you trudging on. Good luck in your future our hearts go out to you and your family.

Prayers and best wishes to you, your wife, and family. Thanks for sharing.

Prayers, note the snow from the heavens came upon you as soon as you started to talk about your wife. God is watching you and your family. Thank you Pastor

Don’t stop talking. It’s therapeutic for you, and the rest of us. We are all touched that you are sharing your story with us. Trust me, everyone watching this is praying for you. You are not alone. My wife just got the ‘100%...all cured’ message from my

You and your beautiful family touch me in a most beautiful way,I'm still here and healthy but others are not so fortunate, such as you and your family,my prayers are with all that struggle and are in dark places, Stay Strong my friends (I love you.)🙏♥️

Greetings from NW Iowa. God is truly with us, may he continue to strengthen you and your family. Always enjoy the videos when time allows, but FAMILY FIRST. God's Blessings.

You're a good man ! I really hope your wife gets healthy ! Wishing you guys all the best !

Yes I have a chronic illness (well, multiple) so my heart goes out to your wife. A lot of partners don't support their loved ones when it comes to chronic illness because they don't recognize them as legitimate. Your wife is very blessed to have someone like you to look after her and your daughter on those days she needs it. Peace and love to you and your family.

Ya'll have my continued prayers every day. God has ya'll in his protective arms.

Thank you for the update. God bless you all.

Great leap through the window trick , you are a bundle of energy for sure . Our 80+ bodies could never do that !!

Dear Outsider and Mrs. Outsider, and Dad. Part of what attracted me to your site was the work you do and how you do it. But then I got to 'meet' your dad, heard about your Mum and your wife. I admire your faith, your behaviour and wish you all good health and many good years together. Jeremy

Beautiful words you spoke there at the end. My prayers go out to your wife and your entire family.

new course on Skillshare : "How to do chisel work with a chainsaw" by the outsider.

I have followed you for a long time and saw the video you and your wife made. I say truly if I lived nearby I would offer my assistance . I have had Addison's in the past and know how utterly spent it causes one to feel.. I pray for your family, and for your and your dad's loss of your mom, and for the miraculous that is there for us all.. Thank you for sharing with us...much love..

Praying for you and your precious family 🙏 We know who our healer is so keep the faith...God Bless

Praying for your family! In the last 2 weeks I’ve been hospitalized and told I need a heart transplant!! So I feel your pain. I’m leaving Hawai’i next week to move in with family and start the transplant process! Stay strong and trust in the Lord!

Yes in the past, you have been cranking out videos every week. I noticed that you haven't done that recently. I have been watching you for the past 5 years. I never knew that about your wife and I'm sorry. I know how that feels. My wife has had her struggles with health too..and continues to do so. We can't have children because of it. In all the time I was watching you I didn't know you were a Christian. I know in Canada that is something you can't talk about alot. I'm glad you are getting the roof up. It's been a long process and I hope you will finally finish the cabin next year. God bless you and your family.

God Bless all of you. With your wife's illness and the loss of your mother this past year, you have all been tested, but you are blessed It is times like these that test our belief in the lord, and then I think of the poem, "Footprints in the Sand", and once again I thank my Lord for being there with me, as I know you do also. God Bless you and your family. My thoughts are with you and your 'girls', and your Dad. He is going through issues also, I am sure.

Hey brother, you and your family are in my prayers. May God bless you and your family.

I will keep you/family in my prayers. Praying Gods strenth for you all.

The only tool a seasoned woodworker needs - a chainsaw! Have you tried doing a mortise and tenon joint with it? Enjoy the weekend and thanks for all sharing. On a more personal note, I am also a cancer survivor with continuing health issues from the operation I had. I will continue to life your wife up in my prayers and my hope will be for her to be restored to full health. I have already said how blessed I am by your relationship with your dad but you are an example to me as a husband and as a dad, I love you and I am so glad to share this journey. And finally, your every video comes as a huge encouragement, your every shared thought is a bonus and your life is an example. Lean on Jesus and stay strong in his power. I love you.

So sorry to hear that your wife is not doing so well . Praying that something good will happen soon . You are a good husband to be a helper for your wife and a daddy for your daughter . Love and prayers .. Vivian and Bill Leopold

You are a gift to so many, including us, your KZfaq family. You always help me see what matters. Health and God's Will to you and your family.

Best to you and family.

Thank you for sharing The cabin is really starting to take shape and I imagine this year (weathers permitting) we will see an amazing transformation 😉 All the best too you and your family ❣️

I lost my first wife in 2007. She spent years battling debilitating depression and anxiety, she lost that battle, and now I was a single father of two kids. I had strayed away from the church after I graduated high school in the 80’s, chasing my dream of being an airline pilot. I changed my carrier path to law enforcement to be home more when I had a family. I know right, it wasn’t a much better option with stress, but it was what I knew. In the mean time, i found my way back into God’s path for me. My wife accepted the Lord through the suffering. I left my job after she passed to raise my youngest, who was six years old at the time. I found my way as a youth pastor and in that time, the Lord introduced me to my current perfect wife. I was lonely, and resigned to a life as a single parent and God’s plan for me was His to direct. That is when He showed me a rewarding life I didn’t know I needed. It is not without it’s trials, but it is with a peace the defies all understanding! I too had to eventually move on as a youth pastor, but it was what I needed when I needed it. God will show you the way, He has never let me down, even when I had no idea or understanding what was even possible. I can identify with your current situation, the unknown and security is difficult, but the hope and peace is always there in Him! Praying for your family, and you mission on youtube!

This channel is so amazing, and so is this man... i love it.. god bless you, outsider. And you beautiful wife and daughter... and your dad

sending prayers your way

I carefully balanced myself on the purlins while working on the rafters------- it's like life itself.. and one day at a time.

I have been watching you for quite a while and love your videos, and fun projects! My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer about 6 months ago, and is still battling. But I am very happy for your wife, and hope that she continues to be her best! Many of us feel the things you are going through, so feel the encouragement round and round!

Since your video with your wife last year I have thought about you both every time one of your videos comes out. You are both in my prayers.You're an amazing man and I know your wife is incredible also. I am disabled with a lot of health problems but have always thought of those that are in worse shape than me in my rough times. You are an inspiration and I know you are blessed to be able to take care of your family as you do. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It is so great that you have your Father to help you with the cabin build and in your life. May the Lord be with you all.

That was a maze job you dun there on the windows it was good to see it an god bless you and your wife and family 👍

Mornin Sir....and Sir Sr ....thanks for updates on Mrs O.... our prayers are out to her hot off the press in Wisconsin....always be safe but most of all stay healthy !!!....👍🤘...ps: excellent shot of Sr getting snow down the back of his neck!!....lmao !!!

Thank you for the update on your wife. You are all in my prayers. GOD bless n stay safe my friend.

Straight to the heart. Hear it, feel it, know it. Your love for your family is beautiful.

Good morning from Charleston South Carolina. May God bless you, your wife and family ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Just loss my mom a month ago, missing her but am comforted knowing where she is! Always look forward to your videos! Do you have a P. O. box or some other way that I could send you something? Gods Blessings always!

I have the utmost respect for people that have the time and energy to help others. You are one of those.

Good morning Mr. Outsider and Senior Outsider. I couldn't help but to cry listening/watching to your video this morning. I understand what you are saying when you feel like your family feels like you have your hands tied behind your back. That is the same thing I said repeatedly for the last few weeks. Let me explain. My 90 year old Father was in a NH here in Alabama and locked down on March 1. We were unable to see him, even through the window due to where his room was located. We were denied access to the courtyard to see him. His 90th Birthday was on May 8th. We got to see him and talk to him on his birthday and on one other occasion during this very long two months on zoom. He was crying the entire time. His mind was sharp as a tack, had lost nothing mentally but, his body was pretty much a wreck. Time had taken it's toll. On his Birthday, one hour after we get to talk with him, he crashed. His oxygen stats dropped into the 60's, temp went up and they transferred him to a hospital 1.5 hours away. Our hospital's ICU had shut down due to the physician that was the covid 19 physician, contracted covid. My Father was alone in a new place where he knew no one. Was able to communicate with the wonderful medical staff that stepped into our shoes and nurtured him so lovingly. We got to face time him but then he was so drugged due to so many issues, he didn't respond to us. But, we got to pray over him and the hearing is the last thing to leave a person so my Father heard our prayers but, more importantly, the Lord heard our prayers. My Father passed away with covid 19 on May 14th. Our wounds are still so deep and we watched for two months, with our hands tied behind our backs, unable to do anything. He had a phone in is his room and we were able to talk with him. He was so lonely, weary and sick. Today, my hands are no longer tied, my heart is broken not because he passed away, but the way in which he died. In the Nursing Home out of 78 patients, 69 patients had Covid 19. 31 employees. He is with the Lord and my Mother. God bless you young man, you are a shining example of love and strength. Keep on keeping on and please, give you beautiful wife my best wishes for wellness. May you be richly and lovingly blessed today and for all the days to come. Jeanie

Bless you guys 🙏

you have some amazing skill with a chainsaw!!

My prayers go out to your wife and you. I, myself, am recovering from cancer. Your videos are soothing to me and I look forward to every installment.

My husband has MS so I know it can be hard for both of you. Love to your family from Spain.
