Even with the Crazy price of lumber. Being under $ 10,000 is really good for the size of your Cabin. And you're right. There is no better feeling in the world when U don't have to pay the bank for the home U live in. Peace Bro !! 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌
Paying the bank has never been an issue with me. Paying taxes has never bothered me(well, a little). It's all part of it. When interest rates dropped I refinanced and it made me feel like a smart guy. Paid the house off 20 yrs. ago. My mistake(and it's my nature) was to get to comfortable with one house. I know I'm not going with the flow here, but none of the women I ever dated would have lived in a plywood cabin. I agree with all of Kyles reasoning. Be frugal, be sensible. Think about what it costs to have "that thing". I was raised country and I respect conservative living.
What a beautifully done book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!
That is so fantastic! Debt free is the way to live! Not needing needless stuff is the key. And the ability to add on is always there! So happy for you both.
Debt free means that the money goes to the more important things in life.Instead of keeping up with the joneses which in the end who gives a flying f@ck. Tell me who takes the time to look at the label on your shirt to see what brand it is.. it’s what important to the individuals concerned that matters....
kyle i'm 48 years old and i'm following you're channel because you inspire me! i currently live in Ma ,but lloking for land in Maine to do what you're doing. keep it up and i'll keep watching!
I am originally from Minnesota, my adult children still live there. I was telling my son (your age) about your videos, telling him he should watch and glean ideas from your and Sierra. My husband I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work. Y’all are doing great!! 👍
Kyle, I'm proud of you. Forget the criticism that you are receiving from people. I am 61 years old and you are a inspiration to me. I will be following your foot steps when I go to Alaska to study for my master of divinity degree. I have watch a few of your utubes and I am learning form you. THANK YOU . I will be praying for you and your wife to be.
Americans need to get back to this concept. Proud of you two. Financial stress is the major contribution to divorce and y'all are well ahead of the curve. Good for you.
I would much rather have a smaller house on some nice acreage that is bought and paid for, than a really nice big house in a subdivision with a huge mortgage. Think of the freedom you have. Plus if you want to get away you still have your wilderness acreage and cabin. You are a very rich man.
“Live simple and save.” I can’t say it any better. That’s always been my motto. I’m 35 and have definitely done okay for myself. I’ll be selling my house (already paid for) for a six figure profit this year. I’m going to buy a truck and 5th wheel and travel around the country until the housing prices drop out and I find the next place I want to live. Might be a few years, but I’ll enjoy the adventure. Honestly, less than $10k is dirt cheap for what you have built. I also realize that you have put in countless hours of time and effort. You’re coming along great. You have a great mindset and work ethic. Keep it up. You have our full support. God bless you and yours!!
I hope your parents and family realize just how impressive it is to hear your point of view on life, especially considering your age. You are absolutely refreshing to watch and listen to. I wish for nothing but the best for both you and Sierra! Long time subscriber 1st time commenter.
Wow, the message here from this young man is so empowering. I feel like so many young adults and adults in general can benefit from his message and way of life.
I hope you both realize just how what wonderful choices you've made in a world that entices everyone to be caught up in the "Me and what I deserve" world. It's so refreshing to see a young couple with a good set of heads on their shoulders and I believe some of that credit goes to your parents influences, bravo Dad's and Mom's for a job well done! Love watching your journey and we keep you lifted in prayer as well. Thanks for sharing your choices and your life.
It's perfect. My log cabin is 780sq' covered with a full length screened in porch and deck. It's all I could ever need. You're an impressive young man.
Bottom line is starting life ahead. Not in a hole. Not in a 30 year debt. Very happy for you both and you’re an inspiration for the younger generation !!
Over the years I have been doing just that. At one point I had raw land and numerous plans in my brain. Then stacks of materials started to take up mega space in my carport. For 5 + years we scrounged and scavenged materials. From studs to plywood. We have made sacrifices to achieve what we wanted. We set a goal and through hard work and determination it's happening. There are people that are haters.....I believe it's just pure jealousy. Not that we are trying to make people jealous, but it comes from people wanting what you have. Set goals and make sacrifices is the only way to achieve you dream. Most people don't see the prep work and behind the scenes work it takes. They just see the final product and say, it must be nice. Yes it is after years of work and determination. Congrats to the both of you.
Man I watch a lot of off grid stuff... and it's VERY refreshing to see a young couple doing what most of us have grown away from! living simple and being debt free! so many live beyond their means. LIFE IS TOO SHORT!!! it's sad that most of us only realize this when something tragic happens... I'm 51 recently diagnosed with Leukemia.. and definitely living life to the fullest!! Love your channel keep it up!
I don’t understand how anyone can click the thumbs-down button on any of your videos. If they don’t like the content, MOVE ON! What’s hard about that?! Guess there’s always haters (maybe out of jealously, idk). Hope it doesn’t negatively affect your stats too bad! As always-GREAT CONTENT! Thank you!
For your generation You make way to much sense. I've been following you guys from your start and enjoy it a lot. As a Family we started going up to northern Minnesota since i was 4 (1959) Usually to Lake Andrusia or Winnebigoshish. i've always wanted to move up there and build a Cabin. I'm 66 now so i don't have the desire to build one for myself but if i could find 5 or 10 acres of suitable land in the woods i would have somebody build me one.
Around here the city enforces building codes on any building. That structure you built they would consider illegal and red tag it. As they explained it to me, a cardboard box is fine, but the moment a person tried to live in it it is considered a "dwelling." and at that point it becomes illegal and subject to codes. The electrical alone they would make you hire a master electrician up to date with all the changing codes to guarantee them your building met all the new codes. The structure would also require an engineer's stamp to guarantee the city your structure was safe and sound. Moonshiners build structures out in the middle of nowhere to make their goods. The city finds them and tears them down because their structures are considered illegal under state codes. I admire what you've done. After all the codes and permits are pulled I believe this structure would be 2x the cost of what you mentioned. The only thing i would recommend is for you to build a storage unit about half the size to remove all the added weight from your cabin so its stays light. People cram all their stuff into their living spaces and that often screws up the foundation later. A large storage unit would help preserve your cabin. Best of luck.
Inherited 312 acres from my grandma and grandpa. My great great grandpas family built a cabin on it and it’s still in pretty good shape, not liveable or even stay able in it now. I found a good spot with a view, and am going to make a new cabin this spring - fall
Glad you're sticking with it Kyle, you should save a ton of money and live the life you want. It would be nice to see a great smile once in a while. 😁🖒💚👍
I think what you’re doing is awesome. 👍 As for building codes, that depends on where you live. Here in Ontario Canada, you still have to follow the building codes permitted by the municipality / township you live in. You can only get away with no building codes when on land in an unorganized township. Some townships are lenient pending the zoning (IE: Rural) some places won’t even allow a person to park a trailer to live in while building. I’m building a dovetail square timber now on my 25 acres, 16x16 is the Max before having to follow codes. Nice cabin. Best wishes
Yeah and the shame is is down here in Illinois the prices are coming back down now you can get a 2x4 again for $3 and a 2x12 that was 60 bucks is now down to 24.99
Congratulations on a well done on all accounts.FYI my father Build Custom Homes for 35 years he would have hired you in heartbeat.I admired the way you can sling a hammer,old school No Air Nailer.I was reminded of my father as you recorded your Home Build.
Thank you and Cierra for sharing all your videos on your log cabin and home building! Very useful information! It's a very concerning thing about what's happening in the world today. It's great to know how to build one's own home and live off the grid. Thanks again!
Love, love, love hearing your story. So awesome you figured out the good life early instead of getting sucked in to the "keeping up with the Jonses"! We look forward to all of your videos!
Found your channel a few days ago. I subbed and have been binge watching. Just wanted to say job well done and what a great mindset you both have. Good job to the ole man raising such a smart son.
so happy for you guys! Its great that the 2 of you realize early in life if you live cheaply and save you can have all you want w no bills. I always said I wish that the stuff I know now , i wish I knew I was 16 and started working. Much love and Support ! I look forward to your videos every week!
(This is Tom, not Sandra.) You have great videos, each and everytime, Kyle. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all online!!!! Good luck in all of your future endeavors, sir. Take care.
You have your priorities straight, young man. It is a great thing to see that in the younger generation. Your attitude also helped you get to where you are....along with the location you picked to settle in😉
Hi guys that is wonderful the price that you have paid for your lifestyle that is wonderful many people would just love to live in the cabin like that you don’t have to have 10 rooms to make you happy I live in a three bedroom low-set brick and tin roof house with solar panels air conditioning but I’ve been here for 30 years and I just love it but I would love to live in the bush to have peace and quiet all around here I need the birds and animals for noise love the videos can’t wait to see you fitting out the inside of the cabin keep up the hard work Cliff from Queensland Australia
Well said. My wife and I are in our 60s beginning a similar journey. You are wise to avoid unnecessary stresses. Life is only as complicated as we make it.
WOW! Way to go, Kyle. Smart young man. No Debt is 100% the way to go. Smart young man. I want to see a nice front porch there with a couple of rocking chairs. I don't remember where the land came from. Two thumbs up. Thanks for sharing.
It's great to see younger people willing to make sacrifices to make their dream come true. I see so many people complaining about how they can't have a home because prices are so high and yet they have new cars, go on expensive trips, buy new clothes, eating out all the time and basically live a lifestyle they can't afford and then complain. We raised our family in a house less than 1000 sq. ft and one income. We did without things and were fine with that so we could raise our kids and have a home.
You and Sierra have good, common sense. Saving, planning, and living frugally allows you freedom to enjoy your life. May God bless you with a very happy homestead.
CONGRATULATIONS ! To you and Sarah on all your planning, saving and completing shell build of your home. I will continue to watch you both build your Homestead. 🏡🐥🐤🐔🐣🌲
Thanks for your time spent in sharing these informed packed videos, as well as your common sense knowledge, in how everyone can achieve success , by sometimes denying ones desires to have and do everything. A really great job. May the Lord continue to bless you in your future endeavors.
It’s all about true living, the debt free life and the accomplishment of self sustainable. Glad to see you have a great partner in life. I really enjoy the real videos.
I will definitely be continuing to watch. I love your videos and I noticed while you were talking the sounds of the birds and the forest around you so relaxing and calming. Keep up the good work young man.
Thanks for your honesty and for sharing your journey with us! I can’t wait to see where you guys take us! Been with you from the beginning! Be blessed my friends!
You could add a cover deck so your guys can sit outside during the winter time ,maybe add more Glassdoors so your house will have the beautiful view though ,love your Chanel,never miss one 👍👌
Just want to say thanks and let you know I enjoy watching your and Sierra’s journey. I subscribed back in the beginning and really like your style. Down to earth. Not flashy. Well done. God bless and take care.
Yup I have to agree mortgage free is the way to go! I'm saving in baby steps to do just that. I think people get drawn into the loop of what they think they "need" instead of what they actually need. I mean take me for example. Working an average job working average hours. Bought a piece of land in 2017, got a well last year, getting foundation this year, and building next year. I find living within ones means makes many more life goals very possible. Great job on the cabin. Looking good!
There actually is a (secret) recipe.. As you stated - no new snowmobiles, quads, car payments. These toys will come as you progress. As important is the desire, the dedication, self-motivation and let's not forget putting your needs first over wants. The results are so satisfying! Keep you value system and you'll continue to do well. Well done young man!
That's a fair price!! Especially with the cost of lumber!! And you built it yourselves,big saving there!! Can't wait to see more!! Stay safe my friend's.👍🤓👍🤓 Randy.
Kyle I give you a big high five!👍 You have the drive and ambition to get it done! You don't rely on anyone to hand things out for you. You want something, you work hard for it. Cierra and you plan together well. Sometimes you have to live frugal to live well! I could live happy in a self built house like you're building, but my wife wants bigger and more. We can't get a loan for what she wants, but I could build something like you have. She doesn't want to "downsize" from what we had planned, but we may have to. I can compromise, but I don't know if she can. Thanks for the video! Keep on keeping on!
Thank you for sharing your video Kyle You both had great parents to give you the great work and drive in making your homestead You and Cierra are great hard working couple with a beautiful dream you both made happened Take care see you Cierra and Skeeter soon
2 years ago I priced out building myself a 24x16 build complete interior and exterior for $8,000-9,000...now it's over $20,000. On the flip side it's a good sellers market (rural community) which will actually make up the difference when I sell my place to build. I have enjoyed watching your videos and got some good tips from them..thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on this mile stone and good luck with all of your homestead endeavors. Dedication and hardwork will get you to where you want to be. Stay safe and God bless.
It's your home it's what you guys wanted I think you have a beautiful place a lot of younger couples should be paying attention to what you're doing the way the time is today I'm proud of you guys you have you going to have a beautiful home
I'm so impressed with you Kyle! When I was your age I was a really hard worker too. Man, I want to homestead. I moved out of Commiefornia to NV and bought a home on one acre w a well. I'm looking to move further away towards the mountains here and do something similar! Great job young man! You are thinking right about your goals!!
I think what you have accomplished is outstanding!!! Also, I think a huge part of the "secret recipe" is finding a state where you can build a cabin without permits and inspections. Here in California you would have spent 3 or 4 times what you did....in permits alone! Before you put a shovel in the ground or bought a stick of lumber. For now I have a small mobile home that is paid off, but my hope is to move out of friggin California someday and I would love to do something like you did. Congrats!! You are beating the system.
That is a very good point. I’m lucky to live in a state/county where the rules are more relaxed. I used to think Alaska was the only place left that this could be done.
Great job on your cabin. You and Sierra have a very good plan and will reap many rewards. As for the people who just have to criticize you for having the channel, they are just jealous.They just show how shallow they are. You have a lot to be proud of.Thanks for sharing.
Good stuff Kyle! I check everyday for your posts. Without you having to say so, I'm absolutely certain you don't underestimate the value of your father and your wife. I may be enjoying those subtle interactions in the videos as much as the construction progress. Looking forward to seeing your wife's interior design.
Congratulations ! You did the right thing, paying interest to the Banks for years is insane . Best of luck for the future for both of you. It is nice seeing young folks with good sense and stamina. Cheers !
Great summary of the costs Kyle! Your story of your time in Alaska reminds me of Dick Proenneke’s story. If you haven’t watched any of his videos you really should. He was a lot like you. Thanks for the great videos!!!!
Yeah, Kyle, the long awaited dry build list. Your home will be so cozy, you'll be debt free. Where should your subscribers send the housewarming gifts?
We have a PO Box in Grand Rapids mn. We are quite a bit north of there but it’s the closest town that has bigger stores. It’s PO Box 982 Grand Rapids MN 55744
Great update Kyle. One thing I want to point out is, the interest of a mortgage which doesn't allow people to get to mortgage free. Congratulations you Guys. Say thanks to your Dad.
This is fantastic!! If you are (our kinda people) you dont care or need anything more ! I wouldnt even put in any walls except for the bathroom n maybe a big closet but you can run a curtain to enclose your bedroom if u hav company. Completely open except for bathroom is easily warmed by wood stove and no cost for walls. Man im so excited for you guys !! God bless.
Anyone who downvotes this are idiots because in a few years to follow you will be flush and still have a cracking home and a bit of land to do what you wish at a young age big thumbs up from Scotland 🏴👍 just keep doing what your doing 👏👏👏🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Appreciate you sharing Kyle. Your home is coming right along. It’s going to be a great summer for you and Cierra and Skeeter too. Your example of saving and working hard is a great example for everyone.
Nice cabin. My first home the interest rate was 10.9 in about 1988 now interest is dirt cheap. That is part of the reason lumber price is so high. People are building like crazy. Good luck and I wish you well.
@@jshepard152 Well people may hate the higher interest rates I believe it was the free money, interest rates in the 2’s that fueled the insane high housing prices. I own two homes and I could no longer afford to purchase either one if I was in the same place again. Also back when the interest rates were high I was getting 9 percent on my CD’s from my local bank. Something had to be done to slow inflation. I am not economist so I hope this works. As an older person I would love to see the CD’s come back up to 9 percent. Take care

Very informative. Perhaps you could touch on the land acquisition at some time. Cheers.
Love, love, love hearing your story. So awesome you figured out the good life early instead of getting sucked in to the "keeping up with the Jonses"! We look forward to all of your videos!
Found your channel a few days ago. I subbed and have been binge watching. Just wanted to say job well done and what a great mindset you both have. Good job to the ole man raising such a smart son.
so happy for you guys! Its great that the 2 of you realize early in life if you live cheaply and save you can have all you want w no bills. I always said I wish that the stuff I know now , i wish I knew I was 16 and started working. Much love and Support ! I look forward to your videos every week!
I truly admire both of you. Never miss your videos. ❤️from Tennessee!!!
(This is Tom, not Sandra.)
You have great videos, each and everytime, Kyle. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all online!!!! Good luck in all of your future endeavors, sir. Take care.
You have your priorities straight, young man. It is a great thing to see that in the younger generation. Your attitude also helped you get to where you are....along with the location you picked to settle in😉
Hi guys that is wonderful the price that you have paid for your lifestyle that is wonderful many people would just love to live in the cabin like that you don’t have to have 10 rooms to make you happy I live in a three bedroom low-set brick and tin roof house with solar panels air conditioning but I’ve been here for 30 years and I just love it but I would love to live in the bush to have peace and quiet all around here I need the birds and animals for noise love the videos can’t wait to see you fitting out the inside of the cabin keep up the hard work Cliff from Queensland Australia
I'm impressed with your build and your initiative. I have some rural land and need to do the exact same thing.
Well said. My wife and I are in our 60s beginning a similar journey. You are wise to avoid unnecessary stresses. Life is only as complicated as we make it.
WOW! Way to go, Kyle. Smart young man. No Debt is 100% the way to go. Smart young man. I want to see a nice front porch there with a couple of rocking chairs. I don't remember where the land came from. Two thumbs up. Thanks for sharing.
It's great to see younger people willing to make sacrifices to make their dream come true. I see so many people complaining about how they can't have a home because prices are so high and yet they have new cars, go on expensive trips, buy new clothes, eating out all the time and basically live a lifestyle they can't afford and then complain. We raised our family in a house less than 1000 sq. ft and one income. We did without things and were fine with that so we could raise our kids and have a home.
You and Sierra have good, common sense. Saving, planning, and living frugally allows you freedom to enjoy your life. May God bless you with a very happy homestead.
CONGRATULATIONS ! To you and Sarah on all your planning, saving and completing shell build of your home.
I will continue to watch you both build your Homestead. 🏡🐥🐤🐔🐣🌲
Thanks for your time spent in sharing these informed packed videos, as well as your common sense knowledge, in how everyone can achieve success , by sometimes denying ones desires to have and do everything. A really great job. May the Lord continue to bless you in your future endeavors.
The cabin looks awesome!!! You, Cierra & your dad did a great job. Skeeter was a good Supervisor!!! 😊 Love the door! The windows look great too!
It’s all about true living, the debt free life and the accomplishment of self sustainable. Glad to see you have a great partner in life. I really enjoy the real videos.
I will definitely be continuing to watch. I love your videos and I noticed while you were talking the sounds of the birds and the forest around you so relaxing and calming. Keep up the good work young man.
Thanks for your honesty and for sharing your journey with us! I can’t wait to see where you guys take us! Been with you from the beginning! Be blessed my friends!
You could add a cover deck so your guys can sit outside during the winter time ,maybe add more Glassdoors so your house will have the beautiful view though ,love your Chanel,never miss one 👍👌
Thank you!
Here in Atlanta, I paid $17.56 for a PT 2x4x8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!! You did Very well!!
Just want to say thanks and let you know I enjoy watching your and Sierra’s journey. I subscribed back in the beginning and really like your style. Down to earth. Not flashy. Well done. God bless and take care.
Yup I have to agree mortgage free is the way to go! I'm saving in baby steps to do just that. I think people get drawn into the loop of what they think they "need" instead of what they actually need. I mean take me for example. Working an average job working average hours. Bought a piece of land in 2017, got a well last year, getting foundation this year, and building next year. I find living within ones means makes many more life goals very possible. Great job on the cabin. Looking good!
There actually is a (secret) recipe.. As you stated - no new snowmobiles, quads, car payments. These toys will come as you progress. As important is the desire, the dedication, self-motivation and let's not forget putting your needs first over wants. The results are so satisfying! Keep you value system and you'll continue to do well. Well done young man!
That's a fair price!! Especially with the cost of lumber!! And you built it yourselves,big saving there!! Can't wait to see more!! Stay safe my friend's.👍🤓👍🤓 Randy.
Kyle I give you a big high five!👍 You have the drive and ambition to get it done! You don't rely on anyone to hand things out for you. You want something, you work hard for it. Cierra and you plan together well. Sometimes you have to live frugal to live well! I could live happy in a self built house like you're building, but my wife wants bigger and more. We can't get a loan for what she wants, but I could build something like you have. She doesn't want to "downsize" from what we had planned, but we may have to. I can compromise, but I don't know if she can. Thanks for the video! Keep on keeping on!
Thank you for sharing your video
Kyle
You both had great parents to give you the great work and drive in making your homestead
You and Cierra are great hard working couple with a beautiful dream you both made happened
Take care see you Cierra and Skeeter soon
2 years ago I priced out building myself a 24x16 build complete interior and exterior for $8,000-9,000...now it's over $20,000. On the flip side it's a good sellers market (rural community) which will actually make up the difference when I sell my place to build. I have enjoyed watching your videos and got some good tips from them..thanks for sharing!
Kyle, what a very grounded young man you are. You've achieved so much!! You are a fine example to our next generations with your 'can do' attitude.
Congratulations on this mile stone and good luck with all of your homestead endeavors. Dedication and hardwork will get you to where you want to be. Stay safe and God bless.
It's your home it's what you guys wanted I think you have a beautiful place a lot of younger couples should be paying attention to what you're doing the way the time is today I'm proud of you guys you have you going to have a beautiful home
You are wise beyond your years. I'm happy for the both of you.
The world would be a better place if all young people had there head as plum as you have yours.
I'm looking forward to your next vid.
You guys are inspirational. Great job! Best of luck to you both!
Love that you keep your videos simple.
Great job Kyle and Cierra (and Dad!). Very inspiring. Don’t slow down!!!!!!!
Great looking cabin, no nosy neighbors, peace and tranquility also more Brats for Skeeter And. Ziggy 😄👍👍
I'm so impressed with you Kyle! When I was your age I was a really hard worker too. Man, I want to homestead. I moved out of Commiefornia to NV and bought a home on one acre w a well. I'm looking to move further away towards the mountains here and do something similar! Great job young man! You are thinking right about your goals!!
Hats off to the parents who raised this kid!
Man I'm so proud of you guys especially my friend skeeter be bless
I think what you have accomplished is outstanding!!! Also, I think a huge part of the "secret recipe" is finding a state where you can build a cabin without permits and inspections. Here in California you would have spent 3 or 4 times what you did....in permits alone! Before you put a shovel in the ground or bought a stick of lumber. For now I have a small mobile home that is paid off, but my hope is to move out of friggin California someday and I would love to do something like you did. Congrats!! You are beating the system.
That is a very good point. I’m lucky to live in a state/county where the rules are more relaxed. I used to think Alaska was the only place left that this could be done.
Great job on your cabin. You and Sierra have a very good plan and will reap many rewards. As for the people who just have to criticize you for having the channel, they are just jealous.They just show how shallow they are. You have a lot to be proud of.Thanks for sharing.
Extremely wise decision. You all have a done an amazing job so far. How blessed you are to have such a great dad...he's awesome. God bless.
Good stuff Kyle! I check everyday for your posts. Without you having to say so, I'm absolutely certain you don't underestimate the value of your father and your wife. I may be enjoying those subtle interactions in the videos as much as the construction progress. Looking forward to seeing your wife's interior design.
Congratulations ! You did the right thing, paying interest to the Banks for years is insane . Best of luck for the future for both of you. It is nice seeing young folks with good sense and stamina. Cheers !
Cool stuff, Kyle. Don't let negative comments drag you down. That's much less expensive than I expected. It's going to be a really great home.
You two are smart and learned early about finances. I think its admirable. I am excited to see what's to come.
Great summary of the costs Kyle! Your story of your time in Alaska reminds me of Dick Proenneke’s story. If you haven’t watched any of his videos you really should. He was a lot like you. Thanks for the great videos!!!!
Thanks for the info, Kyle. You came in cheaper than I thought you would. Nice size home, my friend, for under 10K! Congratulations brother.
Yeah, Kyle, the long awaited dry build list. Your home will be so cozy, you'll be debt free. Where should your subscribers send the housewarming gifts?
We have a PO Box in Grand Rapids mn. We are quite a bit north of there but it’s the closest town that has bigger stores. It’s
PO Box 982 Grand Rapids MN 55744
Cierra and I really appreciate it!
Great update Kyle. One thing I want to point out is, the interest of a mortgage which doesn't allow people to get to mortgage free. Congratulations you Guys. Say thanks to your Dad.
This is fantastic!! If you are (our kinda people) you dont care or need anything more ! I wouldnt even put in any walls except for the bathroom n maybe a big closet but you can run a curtain to enclose your bedroom if u hav company. Completely open except for bathroom is easily warmed by wood stove and no cost for walls. Man im so excited for you guys !! God bless.
Anyone who downvotes this are idiots because in a few years to follow you will be flush and still have a cracking home and a bit of land to do what you wish at a young age big thumbs up from Scotland 🏴👍 just keep doing what your doing 👏👏👏🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
Stay true to your heart! Work hard everyday. Get every day's jobs done and go on to the next day. Stay safe and healthy and enjoy what you do.
no worries. it's just funny!
Appreciate you sharing Kyle. Your home is coming right along. It’s going to be a great summer for you and Cierra and Skeeter too. Your example of saving and working hard is a great example for everyone.
Wow! That’s awesome. Your beautiful home will be standing for many years to come. Great job!
Nice cabin. My first home the interest rate was 10.9 in about 1988 now interest is dirt cheap. That is part of the reason lumber price is so high. People are building like crazy. Good luck and I wish you well.
We're on our way back toward 10% now...
@@jshepard152 Well people may hate the higher interest rates I believe it was the free money, interest rates in the 2’s that fueled the insane high housing prices. I own two homes and I could no longer afford to purchase either one if I was in the same place again. Also back when the interest rates were high I was getting 9 percent on my CD’s from my local bank. Something had to be done to slow inflation. I am not economist so I hope this works. As an older person I would love to see the CD’s come back up to 9 percent. Take care
Smart kids. Happy to watch the progress.
