Hope you get better soon Laura. The comments at the end are 100% needed, to everyone who comments, “we follow them” we don’t own them and tell them what to do! Suggestions are good but saying this is the way is just wrong. We are following their journey not creating it! “Keep the faith” and continue to look after each other.

The two of you know what you want. Pick up pointers and ideas along the way but live your own lives and not ours. Your progress is remarkable. You are respectable hard workers. 👍👍👍

I think you are already far richer than most people I know. You have cultivated an appreciation of the smaller things and what it takes to achieve goals. Most people never manage it or, if they do, they lose it over time. Hold onto it tight for life and never forget it. Great to see yet more progress on the building infrastructure and, as always, I am looking forward to seeing your future installments.

I’ve been a contractor since 1982 . you will always Learn different ways, and tricks to do things. Keep up what you’re doing. Process takes a lot of time and patience. I enjoy your videos.

Y'all make a great couple. At the end of each video, when y'all talk to us, I go away feeling like I was just visiting with friends.

As they say, "Stop and smell the Roses." Afterwards get back to work! lol Good job Laura and Dan.

I love the look of the outside lamp, especially when shown in the same shot as the black window frames. You are both doing a fantastic job with the renovation. The advantage of doing much of the work yourselves is that the 'mistakes' are learning experiences and give you the skills necessary for the general upkeep and maintenance once it's completed.

You are so absolutely correct in deciding that enjoying the process should be a priority. Most of your viewers understand that building up a homestead is a slow, repetitive, and laborious process, and trying to make it exciting and varied all the time will wear you out and spoil the journey for you. We enjoy the two of you as a couple as well as the work you do. I, for one, don't judge your videos by how much work you get done.😊❤❤

The electrics is quite the job. I’m glad that you had help. I also caught the word “mezzanine “. That will be great. Take care Laura, yes lots of rest. I love the outside lights. Yes, balance in life is important. Enjoy the land, the sunrises, sunsets, the ability to relax.

Your pretty little cottage is looking better and better every time we see you. I love seeing your happiness in the progress you've made after all your hard work. I can't wait to see your new roof, that is going to be the icing on the cake. May God continue to bless you.

Hiya you two ., thank you for sharing another look into you home building and the skills your learning .You are so right just take your time and do not listen to people's negative thoughts . Your home is yours and only yours . Personally I think your doing so well . Keep it up and remember your health is far more important than anything .👍👍

Light “number two” should be for the outhouse! 😇🤣❤️🇨🇦

Hi Laura and Dan, you know the back window 🤷‍♀️, I was thinking when you have more money. It would be ideal to make an extension on the back of it for two bedrooms and a bathroom. You could then knock through that window and block work as the entrance from the barn Perfick xx

Hope you get better soon Laura. Nice work on the electrics, also great lights, it is indeed more and more becoming "a house". Must have been a tiring job to get through the granite, great job Dan.👊👌

Well done Laura and Dan your both doing a fantastic job.

Everyday every week every month you guys get better and better place looks amazing..enjoy this time in your lives

I’m glad your both enjoying your time on the land now well done the both of you

Steady and slow wins the race. So take a break once in a while. You will do it. I’m sure about it. Relaxe. Greetings from germany

Ah, sorry to hear you're feeling unwell. I hope you feel better soon. Things are coming along fine with your house 🏠 ✨️ ❤

I hope you are feeling better. Im sending you wishes for a quick and easy resolution to the VISA issues. Your place is coming along nicely

Hello my sweet and blessed friends! I was so happy and surprised to see the electric being installed. I love the outdoor lights. As I was watching I was praying that all that chipping away of stone would go well. Thank the Lord it did. It looks so amazing after you were done. In prayers for both of your health. Laura definitely praying for your healing with your chest cold. Those are not pleasant at all. Your home is getting prettier each time I see it. I have watched so may videos where the creator is showing how much time filming takes up daily. Positioning the camera, getting interesting shots, showing motion and building. I have seen where some folks will not film for a short period of time just so the can get caught up and have more down time. I pray you both give yourself more quiet times, find that balance, and spend time with our Lord. Please remember to take that 7th day for rest and worship. Thank you for another lovely video. Thank you for the smiles and joy. God bless you my sister and brother in Christ! So much love and love in Christ ~John ♥

Great video again Laura and Dan. Another step forward. Hope you feel better now Laura x

Great video guys hope you feel better soon laura .its easier said than done for trying to slow it down a little when u just want to get jobs done you have time on your side .enjoy each others time and date nites more even if ìts just round a campfire ❤

Coming right along....Having some electricity will make all the difference in the world. I've been leaning towards a "power station" of some kind too, for my cabin. They're portable, modular, expandable, warrantied, very simple to use and off-grid(handy in all the hurricanes we get here in Florida). All you really need to do is plug in a couple multi-outles power strips and you can plug everything into those and you're all set. You don't even have to "hard-wire" the cabin, but if that is the route you go, some models will allow you to plug the mains electric for the house into the power station, also. Cheers, from FL, USA! P.S. According to the thumbnail, Laura still looks pretty good for being "200 Years Old". Cheers :)

Wishing you well Laura. Warm Lemon & Honey drinks with Paracetamol - I too have recently had a chest infection and the concoction helped, and what you said, plenty of rest. Listen to your body. How exciting, your home is coming together beautifully. 💐🍋🍯💐

Hope you’re feeling better now Laura. Well done to you both, the barn is coming on nicely. Are you having solar panels eventually? A powerbank is fine, you both do what you want to do, it’s your place, nobody else’s 😊

Well done on the electrics Dan, lights look amazing,,hope you feel better soon Laura, send you both so much love ❤❤😍😍👍👍

Hi Laura and Dan everything looking good progress getting the electrical system started great video waiting for the next update now stay safe friends

Hello from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👋 my family and I look forward to your vidoes every Wednesday, keep smashing it !

Get well soon Laura, and you too, Dan. I love how attentive and calm you are looking at Dan when he talks. Very sweet 💓

Feel better Laura. Dan, great work with the wiring for the lights...bit by bit you'll get there. Enjoy every bit of the process even when mistakes are made. You'll grow and learn as you go 💪🏻.

Warm and safe and dry is all we really need.. food and water everything else is a luxury. It’s nice to have those extra things but we certainly don’t have to have them to live or be happy

Laura hope you get better soon. Glad you had some one come in for the electrics. Dan and Laura this is your home and we are here for the ride. Each job you do is a learning curve, sometime 2 steps forward and a few more backwards and then all of a sudden it goes forward with a bang. I just love what you do in the name of progress on your farm. My mother in law always used to say to me 'to each their own' and 'advice is free', you do not have to do what one has given as advice. Just look after yourselves and I think you have got so far and I pray and hope you do get to hear soon about your visas. Hugs to you both and have a lovely day. Laura drink Lemon, ginger and honey tea. If you can get yourself some linden tea add lemon and ginger does help colds and coughs. But do not drink it all day.

Another milestone achieved! Well done, guys! My son (22) has just finished uni. I recently asked him what he wants to do with his life after uni and was surprised when he said that, after much thought, he had decided not to pursue a traditional career path at all. He said he wanted to live off grid and build his own tiny house. I couldn't have been prouder! In this day and age, with the world as it is, I'm so glad he's decided to avoid the rat race and consumer culture. Needless to say, I advised him to subscribe to your channel. He's got no DIY skills at all, but you guys are living proof that you can do a lot of your learning on the job!

Each transition is amazing to watch. Keep up the good work.

Wow! That was no easy task but such a huge step. Congratulations! Laura, take care of yourself. I will be praying for your recovery.

I hope you get better soon Laura. The House looks amazing, its no longer a barn, its a house. Great Video

Everything is coming together nicely 😍 Hope you're feeling better Laura. Worry about what you can control aside from that just keep living life 🥰 at your comfortable happy pace🥰

You 2 are handling things with such luv. I'm positive, things will work out!!

Every new video is a real joy because a new progress is clear. So,keep up the good work and take care, dear Laura and Dan.❤

The house is coming along thats some job with the electrics you are both amazing and you will give anything ago and if it goes wrong you just say it went wrong and get it right the second time ,i hope you get your residency sorted soon feel better soon Laura take care of yourself get plenty of rest if you can ❤

Hi Just take it easy And enjoy what you’re doing It’s all looking great 👍☘️

Bonkers brilliant - as ever! Never weaken!!👍🥳❤️

Another satisfying job done 😊 That looks like a good hammer drill to break up that granite 💪 Glad that you've stepped back to rediscover your balance

Love you guys, it's all coming together nicely!

To be happy on a daily basis is so very hard at times but I love your positive attitude. Enjoy the journey you two.💕

More amazing progress. Before you know it, it’ll all be done & you’ll be moving your stuff into your new home that you created yourselves. You make a great point about getting stuck in the work/sleep cycle. I think most of us get caught in it at some point nowadays. But it’s important to break that cycle & just take some time to chill out & step away from the work. As always, we look forward to seeing more progress in next weeks video. Take care. Laura & Robert

Great video I love both of your ethos about how you want your home to be. Hope Laura feels better soon and fingers crossed for you both, take care ❤

Aw bless you both you both work so hard, and you’re very right what you say life is very short and you need to enjoy the moments. Yes obviously it’s important to get things done on the land but you also need to enjoy the process and live your lives. Thanks for another great blog guys you’re doing a really great job.I hope you feel better soon Laura Mullen tea is really good for your respiratory system. ❤

You guys are definitely learning quickly it a case of priorities once you figure it out just go with the flow ❤❤❤

Speedy recovery Laura 🙏 Those outside light fittings are cool/hot ... love the design 👌 Take care Dan and Laura ...till next time 💛🌿🕊

Don't get burned out guys. What you two have already accomplished is nothing short of amazing! It's gonna be epic when you get done!! Hang in there kids. You'll get there before you know it!! Love the videos and the fact that you are taking us on the journey! Cheers.

Sorry to hear 👂 that Laura not feeling very well, hope you feel better soon, if you both are working to much it will take your energy out of you, we all have been there and done it, but you need to set yourself free from all the stress, and have a half a day off or even a day off, so you can rest and recoup your energy, This means not doing anything about work or repairing or restoring you just rest or go off and see countryside, it is very important, Sorry if I’m gambling on a bit, Not sure what you were going to do with your electrics, I did think that you might of put surface mounted conduit on the walls, so it looked rustic, I do like the outside lights, not sure what it is like in your neck or the woods, 😂, but when I was using the caravan to live in whilst I was renovating the property, I had outside lights on the caravan, the only problem was it attracted most kites and hornets, And I still do not put the outside light on over the front door of the mill unless I am going out at night time, I’ve been out there before and I’ve counted anywhere between 10 to 20 Hornets flying around there was a nest about 50 yards away, At some point, it might be worth making up some mosquito tight nets to go over the windows either inside or outside, even something to go over the front door so you can leave it open to bring the fresh air in, stop little critters and come in, It’s definitely taking good shape, I hope all goes well with the residency , not sure if I have spelt that right, look 👀 after yourselves, and Rome wasn’t built in a day, Good luck for the future, From France,

Hope your better soon Laura, lights look great. 💡💡💡💡🎉🎉

Cant wait to see the new roof and lighting in place , great to see how much progress you have done 😉

Hi guys. Laura love your charming freckles and your stamina. Just hope you'll feel better soon. And Dan nice job as always. Goes for the both of ya, hope you'll have the resident -issues sorted soon so you'll get some more peace of mind and rest. - Now, why don't ya make a kind of rough schedule where the last two hours a day is fixed for some campfire enjoyment, a movie or something else comforting. It should help a little on the stress and fatigue... 😉

Laura I hope you get better soon. I know how wonderful it will be for you to have electricity. Everyone is working hard and it shows. Home is really looking nice.

Watched your channel for the first time about a week ago and just wanted to wish you well , success and happiness now and in the future. Cheers.

I think you’s work great together & I hope you feel better soon Laura & everything takes time in building & don’t forget to rest too

You both are doing GREAT. I enjoy your journey. Wishing you the best.

Prayers of healing Laura. May the Lord Bless you both in all you do to make a proper shelter. Ya all doinv great, pacing yurselves, planning and like you said a rhythm. But how much you have learned is showing well👍🤙🤙🏁🏁🙏🙏🙏

The hardest part of being off grid is if it can break it will be endless replacement and fixing It is always good day to move forward I find moving forward is a treat and very satisfying Love you both great job Take care of each other

Looking good you two, electrics wow fantastic! Time to start calling it your house yet?

U 2 r my favorite couple on here. I'm really enjoying ur videos

Hi Laura and Dan, I just thought I’d drop you a quick line to say that I hope you are both doing OK, I remember that you were coming down with something last episode, Laura so hopefully you are on the mend and haven’t unwittingly shared it with Dan😳 wishing you the best of health ❤️❤️❤️

You two are doing such a great job. My parents were like you, they did everything together and without ourside help. They didn't have internet and videos back then so its fun to see young people working hard and making a nice home for themselves like my parents did when they were young and good looking.

Looking Sweet, I enjoy doing electric and no I have learned in my years of life. Stay Safe and Enjoy and Dan, take care of that young lady of yours.

Do take care that you don’t develop pneumonia that happened to me. Rest as much as you can. You are making fantastic progress before you know it you’ll be done and then set back and reap the fruits of your labor love watching you two. Stay safe.❤❤

Stay strong, keep positive,it will come ok.

It's crazy to see the difference in the way things are done in different countries. Here in the US we would have piped with metal and metal boxes on the outside of the walls or built 2×4 framing and used romex.

Great ideas keep it up. Laura get better soon. Enjoy

Your place is coming along great well done both of you’s 👍👍

Awww! You guys have been working so hard day in and day out. I know first hand. I'm going through the same things... Homesteading/Insteading is joyful work... but the learning (not to mention heavy work) can slow things down. I've been learning to pace myself as well... and be kind (to myself) when things aren't going as planned. Big thing that puts wind in my sails... Stopping to raise my arms above my head! Celebrating wins (no matter what size they are) has really helped me! Ok Laura & Dan! I'm off to shovel a dump truck load of road crush! Wish me luck! 😂

Hey guys! I'm always stoked to check out your new videos. But I was a bit bummed when I realized this one wasn't about the new roof installation. By now, you must be kicking yourselves for not running the wires through the conduits before putting them up in the walls. 😁Making those bends is a total pain in the butt. 😮‍💨It was so frustrating, I almost lost my cool.😤 Anyway, lesson learned for next time: wires before conduits. I thought you were going to use solar-powered outdoor lights. I have some really great ones with motion sensors that are always "juiced up."👌 Make it happen!💪💪

What an achievement getting the electrics done. It won’t be long now before you move in. Well done to you both. I love watching you progress. X

Great to see you guys improving your skills , thats what its all about, good job guys.

Hope you’re feeling better soon Laura great job with the electrical work Dan enjoy watching

You are both beautiful people. I’m so very excited to see the progress you make every week. Now that you are working in the barn it’s really coming together. Stay well, stay happy and live well❤️❤️

Whoopi electrics, good job, you have come so far, soon lights in the barn, boil a kettle have a fridge, your beautiful little home is really coming along, hope you are feeling better Laura, Dan great job helping the electrician, putting up the outside lights, love them. You two are right, stop and smell the roses, have those fires in your firepit, all the wild flowers on your land look beautiful, simple is beautiful, we don't need so much in life, you know what you need. Take care look after yourselves. Bless you both.🙏❤️💐💃🕺

Barn is looking so good, well done. Great to hear you will take more time to look after yourselves, none of this can happen if you burn out or get sick. Thanks for a great video ❤

Loving following your journey. So good to see the cottage coming on. The outside lights are so nice 😊 hoping you get your residency soon!

So much hard work and I am so impressed! Your home is going to be pretty and well earned. Sue from Virginia, USA

I like how you hide as much of the wire as possible. Great video!

Take care and slowing down sounds good. You are doing a great job. ❤

Missing you both. Love your channel. Can't wait for your return. But take care and you come back when you are ready. If there is something wrong. Speedy recovery and I hope you both are OK. Just been a little concerned about you both. Sending love and healing, and come back when you are ready. Xxxxxxx

Oh guys your barn is becoming a cute little cottage. With some planters outside and a plaque with a name it would look lovely too. Well done gor your efforts. Keep it up!!!❤❤❤❤much love from somerset, UK

Another great video and yes you are right taking your time doing things around your home . And the land is looking beautiful and how nice it is to see a tidy block nothing worse then seeing old lounges and crap around one’s home . I hope you both feel well soon . You both work so well together and I think that is the secret to a happy life .

Get well soon Laura!

You are making great progress on the barn. Work at your own pace, because Rome wasn’t built in a day. You have put a lot of thought into your electric system which you will benefit from in the future.

Yes, hope you get better Laura and you guys keep up the good work

Getting there guys! Always look forward to your videos. And hope you feel better soon Laura 😊

Y’all are doing a fine job. With the building and with the videos. 😊

It's a great idea having the option of using whatever power you have. The power bank is great, but if needed you can run the generator and use the outdoor option. You could even use that in a permanent solar system, and be able to swap if there is a problem. Simple is a good thing.👍❤

Laura, I hope you feel better. Sending you lots of love and healing. You both have come such a long way. You are tackling the home improvements stuff. I get so excited to see you both work so hard for your homestead. I continue to pray for both of you and this wonderful and hard journey. Stay safe and God Bless you both!! Lots of love!

You are both so positive and you will get there eventually just love your vlogs.❤️❤️

i plan on doing an off grid project much the same, the electrics are the part that worry me, i have been buzzed more than once by a bare wire and my own goofiness...fun fun lol, stay safe!

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍💯

GREAT JOB!!

I just love the lights you have picked for the outside❤❤❤

You won't be able to call it "the barn" much longer! Yes, learning as you go will show things that you would have done differently if you "knew then what you know now". But they are all functional and that is what matters at this point.
