My favorite family on UKposts. You guys are the essence of what it means to be American, all while inspiring millions of us who are lucky enough to follow along on your journey.

It was an honor and joy to watch your family work together, building a life for one another! Blessings to you all and Merry Christmas!

This should be a required course in high school on how to build a family home. Looks great.

Ya know, I love that you 2 took on this monumental project and made it such a raving success. That's not what I loved most about it. The fact you are such an organic team. You are a combination of productive and playful and it views like a melody. Truly blessed you are and I'm glad I tripped on your amazing video! What a GREAT place you ended up with. You deserve it.

I have to admit this brought tears to my eyes. So happy for you all. You worked so hard and you made your dream a reality. Not many people can say the same. God is good!!

Why does this bring tears? I'm sure they are of happiness,right.? You all worked so very hard. You did it,you build your own home!! I'm so proud and happy for you.

Memories. My husband and I built a home together but without the kind of machinery you have. Vaulted ceiling was done with scaffolding and a rope and pully sytem to rais the studs for the ceiling. Memories.

Awesome build. What a tough little builder wife you have. She lifted all the heavy stuff with ease. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you guys build your beautiful home. Thank you

Putting this together was an epic historic masterpiece. You should have an annual family ritual of watching this every year . . in case you lose your appreciation for what it's like to be united as a family. I went back a 2nd time and watched it @2x speed muted. It really is remarkable. You all should be so proud. You guys won't know what to do once you get your front deck/hot tub done. Hope you take some time to relax and enjoy it all for a while.

Because of your family, I, like all of your subscribers, am very invested in your progress. Such fond memories of every part of the build. Thank you 😊

My wife and I have loved following your journey and couldn't be happier for you.

So this video is not about the house … this is about family … about love… about you. Turned out amazing. Because wow … I wish everybody to find peace like this…

I've been watching you since you were in your old home. I looked forward to every video and think you guys are amazing with your self built home, taking time with your kids throughout, taking time with your animals, etc. I hope you keep filming your garage and barn so I don't lose track of you guys. Enjoy your first Christmas in your new place. God bless you and your family.

Honestly guys, I’m so tired for you two. You are like two well oiled machines. Unbelievable how much work you two have done and what you’ve accomplished. Congratulations to you. You have earned this house 1000%. Remarkable.

Your video blessed me, I found myself smiling all the way through, I thought if all beings could experience what you two accomplished. I bless your land, your hands, your children and the strong LEGACY you all carry, please get brighter for the world to see!!!

The husband is the mastermind while the wife is very cooperative. They both are very hardworking.

As emotional as this is for your sub's, the flood of emotions that y'all carry as a family unit, putting in the loooong, hard days, the blood, sweat, and tears.....must be unquestionably indescribable! What a blessing of a gift.....You two have created a beautiful home for you and your sweet children! What an accomplishment indeed!💝🎁🤗🏡🫂

Your family has created a life long memory. We’ve watched your family really grow close. I’m certain there were many frustrations we never saw, but you presented a wholesome production to your audience. You know so little about us, but revealed so much of your life with us. You will always be our loving friends, though one sided it may be. Merry Christmas to everyone! Now ON WITH THE NEXT PROJECT!

I have binge watched a lot of couples building their own homes and so far this has been the best. It also hit home because I am turning 23 next month, I am finding my path in life more and more each day and I can only ask heavens for a husband and a family like yours. Wishing you all the love, joy, health, fulfillment and wealth this universe has in store for you. 🥰

I love home improvement but half way thru it made me realize how important love is. I’ve promise myself to open my heart to love again. Much success to your family

Man how fast did the two years go it’s been so much fun to watch you guys , and your family grow together. Love to guys for the Holidays. Thank you for sharing your experiences . 🙌🏻

Amazing accomplishment for you and your oldest child. She made this possible as much as her parents!

So happy for you! It’s gorgeous! I started watching you just as I moved into my house that I had built. I didn’t build from the ground up like you guys did but I did all of the inside work (floors, tile, doors/trim, closets, etc). It was so fun doing it and so fun watching someone else do it too!

This is what it’s all about..especially when the kids are involved with dad and mom through the process,just priceless and god bless

What an amazing and beautiful home you have built together (2 homes really {tiny home included}) - it doesn’t seem like 2+ years ago that you started!! Y’all should feel very proud of this accomplishment and THANK YOU for bringing us along for the ride!!

Your videos about the journey building this home never failed to lift up my spirits, even when the last 3 years were crazy. Watching you create this home for your family was just really great! Greetings from Germany.

It was fun watching you guys build together, seems like you still were able to have fun and enjoy each others company I know projects like this can be crazy stressful. It was refreshing to see the love still in full swing throughout the build! :) congrats you guys!

I am not one to comment but I cannot help myself. The level of work you put into this video, music and beautiful drone shots is incredible. I appreciated it and felt so inspired.

Melissa, your talent in the editing room is beyond compare. This was beautifully done and I loved all the memories of the build. So glad you put in the camel sit-down. LOL I was hoping your would! Congratulations to the whole family for this amazing and wonderful achievement of building your new home together. Thank you for bringing so much joy to us over the years. Merry Christmas! Here's to nothing but good things for you all in 2023 and beyond. Cheers!

It still amazes me that you two built that amazing house 🏡 !! That was such a great accomplishment !! There's not too many people who would set out to do such a task, and actually achieve it... Great, Great job to you both 👏👍

Yall take my breath away! So much love, determination and hard work. So much to be proud of. You guys rock!

What a remarkable feat of patience, endurance, persistence, family values and sheer grit. Wonderful family moments during the build. Sharing the process. Seeing the evolution of pure hard work. Vision matched with integrity to do it right the first time. Attention to detail. Step by step progress. Spiritual connection to the earth, to the land, to nature. These values came together in a project that requires strength and intelligence. Then to see it form, appreciate it, and reap the rewards. There are just too many good things that came from this build to mention. Thanks for sharing the video. I would like this energy to pervade the world consciousness and see others connect to the life essence involved. Well done soulful people.

I still remember that you had your concrete wallsup for ages before you started with the wood joists, but then watching every week to see the building turn into a beautiful home. you had a lot of help from your family and you have created your dream

I never get tired of watching all the videos of you all making your dreams come true! I am so extremely happy for you all! You all have accomplished more in 2 years than I have in my 70+ years of life, just goes to prove that having a soul mate makes all the difference in the world. My God's blessings continue to cover you and your family!

It's amazing what you two have accomplished 😍 You have spread your love and, warmth to sooo many near and far. We,(your viewers) are truly blessed to have you and your fabulous Children, animals and you both in our lifes ❤️🙏💋🐕🥳❤️

I loved watching this couple build their dream…. truly a team !!❤️❤️

All I can say at this point is you guys can be proud and So Satisfied that the work that you have done and accomplished. For raising your kids in this wonderful positive environment that they will be able to pass on to their children. Hold your heads up high, what a legacy! Merry Christmas

I started watching your channel before you left for Idaho, so it's been a long journey. I have so enjoyed watching your journey and your family grow. Now we turn the page and move forward at a more relaxed pace to all the dreams ahead coming to fruition. So enjoy how all the pets have woven into the fabric of your lives and sharing your love of horses with us. I hope the spring will allow you to start spending more time in your garden & orchard, it will be fun to watch, as always. Merry Christmas!

Oh my gosh this is by far the best time lapse from start to finish out there. And your family is so in sync and you seem legit happy which is rare these days. You should be so proud of yourselves

This is beautiful! Yes. The house is beautiful. The children are beautiful. However, what tops the house and the children, is the fact you all as a FAMILY BUILT THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME (not house). It's literally what the two of you built! From the marriage, to the children, to the house, is what makes this HOME the ultimate!!! It's way more than a purchase. It's YOU! And that is the dream that is PRICELESS!!!! I wish you all well...!

Years in the making, weeks in the editing, nearly an hour to watch and a lifetime of love to enjoy. Thank you all. God Bless. Steve

Two years of my life have just slipped by in forty minutes. Having watched your build from the start I was reminded of all your hard work, step by step, in all sorts of weather. Mostly just the two of you. Such a great achievement and the fulfilment of your family dreams. Its been a privilege to watch, thank you for sharing with us your trials and tribulations. The result, your forever family home. Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year to you all. Love from the UK.

What a family, working together, building a masterpiece. Hope you'll always be happy in this gorgeous home. Good to know you, you're the best. 🙏🙏🙏

I have taken on monumental projects before, so I have the upmost respect for completing your very large project. Your kids will always know anything is possible. Just a lot of hard work. Congrats on a job well done.

Definitely some really great memories captured in this video. Beautifully done as always and I, for one, really appreciate the retelling of the last couple of years. There were some scary moments and some touching moments and some just plain fun times. Still and always really proud of y'all! Thank you for your awesome friendship over the years! Time sure does fly.

You’re both so hard working. Your family is blessed to learn so much from you two. I have watched every video of this build. Amazing. Impressive. I originally came to your channel because I added rabbits to our farm. You were one of the best channels at the time for learning from. And then I gained so much more! You allowed us to become part of your lives. Thank you for your giving hearts (fundraising in the midst of a very busy life) and all the good you spread out to all who watch you. May God continue to bless each of your lives. I pray safety over your family and futures. ❤Tammy 🌺 (toe socks😂) Whitetail Ridge Farm & Vineyard

Love how you reflected on your 2 year journey in this video. I’ve been following along for about a year now. You’ve been such an awesome inspiration to me! ❤ I hope you continue putting out episodes. You do such a fantastic job filming and editing too!!

The beginning of your house, the foundation to it is the both of you and the house represents that and is built on that - I am at the end of something that for a long time has been very painful and lonely but I am hopeful for a new beginning and your story is - I don’t know what God has in store for me but your story gives me hope - God bless you two and your beautiful home together

It’s been a fantastic journey with your family. Also remarkable that you finished in two years. With all else that you accomplished. Raising a family,home schooling. Raising food to eat and raising animals. And all that you did for others. We are so Proud to know you all. Even though we have never met. You are all family to us. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. Much Love To Y’all ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I've been watching since Washington. What an IMPRESSIVE accomplishment you have achieved!!! And that doesn't even include all the other things you've done since you've been there; homeschooling, the well and pump house, animal pens, the garden, the barndominium, the fund raisers for pediatric cancer, etc... All I feel like I accomplish is the homeschooling part. That's hard all on it's own! You are truly an inspirational family and channel to watch. I wish you all the best in the coming year and I look forward to continuing to watch what y'all do.

I’m so jealous, not of what you created but to have a family that sticks together and works together to achieve a home. So much respect for you guys!

I cried when the daddy said how proud he is.

Just think, you guys spent 2 years building your new house and Homestead. Now you're actually getting to celebrate Christmas in that Beautiful new House you worked so hard for. I can't think of a better Christmas gift than that. 😊💗🎄🎁☃️🎀🎅🤶✨️🐎🐴🐈🐕🙏

It was fun watching you guys build the house again. 😊What a wonderful Christmas you will have! Merry Christmas!🎄

What an amazing Couple I hope you keep that spark forever really proud of what you accomplished in 2 years you deserve all the love so only one thing to say make more memories and please share

What a colossal effort and what brilliant result, its inspiring and some day we want to make our own home and I am already loving the way you guys did it. Live happy, live long and good luck to your entire family. Live for 100 years+ in this dream home.

Sighs and tears and "Oh look how they've grown" and so much more. I think about how many daring things you have done in these two builds and how much bonding you have made within your family - these things cannot be bought. You guys are such a fabulous couple and family. It is my honor to have found you on UKposts and you will have my subscription forever or until you start swearing...which you will never do.

It's so nice to have watched you guys smile and laugh throughout building this beautiful property. Everyone pitched in in there own way. You have accomplished so much over the past couple of years. I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a great New Years

MY wife and I did the same thing over 38 years ago and I am still living in it now ! I know every inch of this house

I first started following you with your rabbits before you moved. it has been an adventure. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing the adventure and your family..

How time flies! I have followed every episode since two years, watching you erecting the house from the scratch. What a tenacity, what a perseverance and a courage ! Congratulations!

It does seem like 2 years but have enjoyed every video thank you both so much for letting me be part of it wishing you all a Happy and Blessed 🎄 Christmas x

You made it look so easy! Super proud of you guys for living your dream. ❤

awesome.. it is a commitment, and willing to take a change in the end you all did it yourselves. such a honor to see and watch. I wish your family happiness and health and joy.

Oh family, such tears of happiness for you all. The process unfolding in one video is crazy! So, so, many outstanding moments, with the horses, in the garden, the sliding, the lovely window overlook area changing process…all of it! Welcome to your first family Christmas in your dream home, exactly as you wished it to be, drew it years and years ago, now your living in it!! WOW!! Magical and magnificent!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to each of you and all the animals too!💜💝💕💙💜💙🐾🎄🎊🎉

This is hands down one of the best time lapse builds I've watched.

Watching you just brought tears to my eyes. What a great couple. Keep the love fire burning.

What an amazing place to build! The views are stellar.

You too guys did a great job ,amazing how it was just you two (a police officer and a teacher)and what you did ,I build homes for 25 years I wish I had all no my crew ,can’t wait to see what’s next ❤

When the whole thing is put together like this, it really underscores just how far you have come and highlights what a massive undertaking it was. Congratulations. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 USA 🇺🇸 GREAT Achievers. What a ginormous Task in such conditions. Sorry my life is not in snowy conditions. Beautiful couple beautiful family. Congratulations Arohanui Ana❤❤❤❤❤😊

I remember waiting for every new video of you guys building your house. I'm so thankful that you guys allowed all of us to see this.

If I hadn't followed along I would never believe this beautiful HOME was built by an incredible family. Well done it was a privilege to be able to watch you and Jeremy and your children grow and learn through this building. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the coming years BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family 🎄🎄🎄🤗🎄🎄🎄💓💞💕

It’s been one of the best times of the last two years for me. I couldn’t wait to see what you accomplished. Your family is so gosh darn adorable, the two youngest brother and sister are just the cutest ever. They could be twins I think, I actually thought they were when I first started watching two years ago. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I can’t wait to see what 2023 is going to bring to you.

A few years ago, my mother turned me onto your channel. I immediately appreciated the unity amongst the two of you and your family. Well, Mom died in June and it took about five months to clean up her home and I'm still working on closing her estate. Curious: If I paid you, would you help me design and build a similar home in your area?

It's just crazy how 2 years already when by.. like wow.. and seeing the whole.process.. and now you guys have such and amazing home... I'm so happy for you guys and really enjoyed spending time with you guys watching your videos.. 😁😁😁

This has been such a cool journey and we love following you through it. I'll bet that just the background of how this all came about...architect, permits, inspections, and such would be a video all of its own...maybe more than one. Merry Christmas and looking forward to following you through the New Year.

I can't even begin to explain all the emotions I have felt over the past 2 years (+/- a couple of months) since I stumbled upon yalls channel. What you promised & accomplished is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. May God continue to shine his face upon your family & may your cup continue to runneth over. Merry Christmas!

Well you can look back and see all the hard work you guys have done. You guys always have a Smile 😃 it's good to see. Keep up the hard work guys. 👍

What an awesome video , a happy loving couple that laugh and work together and a great family . Enjoy your new home and i hope you have many happy times in it

What a journey this has been to follow. Through it all you kept smiles on your faces, I'm sure there were probably moments that was hard to do. You kept love and joy in your hearts and spread that to all of us following along. Congratulations beautiful family ! You are so loved ! Sending love, hugs and prayers from a Kansas Grandma ❤️ 👵 🙏 Merry Christmas!!

Hallmark should be calling to see what a real relationship looks like. Well done. What a fabulous build.

I agree with the previous subscriber it is a honour and a joy to watch your journey loving every moment shared Happy 2023 Blessings and Peace to all xxxxxx

Oh man. I love the internet. That fact that I can see amazing people doing awesome things from other countries is incredible. I'm from Brazil and I dream about building my own house one day. You're such an inspiration for my family. Thanks for filming the whole process.

I found you during the shutdown and have so enjoyed the ride! Thank you for sharing your journey. I am so thrilled that y'all got into your home for the holidays this year! Wishing you a blessed Christmas and wonderful new adventures in 2023. Praying you and the animals do well through this polar blast and snow storm. Sending much love from a friend in Kentucky. Merry Christmas to your lovely family!

I have watched since the beginning. To watch you build in rain, snow and extreme heat. To every board, to every nail, to all the flooring, ceiling and stone wall. To all your hard work while having fun times building it. I commend you! Enjoy for years to come and the memories that come with it ! Merry Christmas!

One of my favourite video in youtube coz it made me smile and how much tears i drop watching you and your family working together happily. Sending love and prayers ❤

Cool video, you two! Been in Alaska 41 years and have helped a number of my friends build their homes and have built log cabins myself. It's always great to see how others do it and you've put together a great chronology of your methods and experience. Good music, too!

Thank you for letting me watch you all build a beautiful life and home. Beautiful family.

It truly is astounding the amount of hard work you guys have done. I feel honoured to have watched this. I'm excited to see what happens in the future. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year for 2023.

Yall have worked like sled dogs and should be so proud of the beautiful home you’ve built with you’re own hands for your family! It is absolutely beautiful inside and out !

Super! You are great, it is very pleasant to watch when the whole family is building a house for themselves, everything is together as one!

This earth needs people like you two. You just an amazing people.

I can’t even begin to imagine how proud of yourselves you must feel, but also your children,what an amazing example you are to them. Credit to them too, how patient and hard working they have been as well. CONGRATULATIONS🎉🎉🎉🎉

One of the best couples who put their blood and soul for the family. God bless you, keep doing the good stuff and inspire many more .

CONGRATULATIONS!! You guys did a great job. That is definitely an accomplishment very few people can ever say they did. VERY COOL!! God Bless you both and your family.

I’m so disappointed I’m just now finding your channel. amazing job mom and dad! the lessons you taught those children seeing you begin such a monumental task and complete it through sheer will and hard work is something so lost on this generation and so invaluable for their development. beautiful home, beautiful family… THIS is America! love it

I have been following your channel since you started this project; watching you face the difficulties of the build, challenged by the weather, discouraging setbacks, and a bad back, and facing it all with courage,faith, wisdom, and iron determination. You don’t know me, but I am nonetheless very proud of you. God Bless you always.

god i love this video. not just for the sheer aspect you guys did it yourself, but how family-oriented you are as well. congrats on the build, and blessings for the future.

I loved this...what a family treasure this video is/will always be. I can't get over how much the kids grew during the build! Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Merry Christmas guys! ❤️🎄
