    Hey Greg, I want to give you a huge pat on the back for being the ONLY off grid home build that has properly installed a vapour barrier. Yes I see them use this insulation with paper on one side, the point is builders in Canada did the same thing back in 1950 …… But that’s why homes without a vapour are full of mold and rotting wood within 2 years and condemned from collapse and sickness. So builders do it right the first time like Greg & Katie, why do it twice. Cheers you two for building a crazy R value home that will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer without any worries. So enjoy many many years in your cozy home!

    Hi, an amazing set of videos detailing all you hard work, I am very impressed and have watched every video up to this one. A thought that may help relieve the stresses and strains of wood chopping. Consider investing in a simple wood cutting tool, there are many home made such ones that save so much energy and strength, the inertia type are the best, no running costs such as fuel, breakdown repairs etc, however you will get the right one for you eventually and it will save for years to come

    Way to go guys!! I’m so very impressed with the removal of the giant stump!! I was cheering you on while watching!! I see why you are both in such amazing physical shape…log splitting with an axe is extremely tiring and an excellent core body workout. Everything you have done together on you’re channel with the life you are building together, is just amazing…especially the fact that a lot of what you are doing, is something you have never done before!! Just so very impressed with you both!! 😊 You two are the true meaning of best friends, teammates, lovers and soul mates. Kudos to you both and Cheers 🥂 to the beautiful life you will share together!! 😊

    I had an idea for something you might try we used to do it when we put up a lot of wood in northern Minnesota and we put a bunch of rounds together and put a chain around them so that when we split them they wouldn't fall over and it would save us time from having to constantly stoop over pick them up and chop them in quarters this way you can chop them in quarters without having stupid pick anything up
