You are truly the best builder and Dad, Jeremy, and you, Melissa, the greatest assistant-builder, videographer, homeschooler and Momma on RUclips. What perseverance and I have never seen either of you in a bad mood, or speaking harsh words. What character you have, and what a legacy you are building in your beautiful children. ❤
@@user-tv9xc6oh8b I am aware of them, thank you. My statement about this channel stands, I prefer the emotional intelligence portrayed by Melissa and Jeremy, the lower number of subscribers astounds me, the quality of the content here is superb.
I really enjoyed the comment about "that standback moment, - we did it feeling", of accomplishment. Saying that together is something for you to be proud of.
Congratulations!! What a journey! From a hole in the ground to the last bathroom tile.. Must be an immense feeling to look back at your home and say 'We did that!'...
I can’t wait to see your 100% completed house with the rest of the concrete work for your sidewalks and hot tub pad done. If I’m not mistaken you are going to be building a garage also. I love where y’all decided to build your beautiful home with one of the most beautiful views in the world. You and your family are truly blessed.
How absolutely wonderful to see your shower finished. What you have accomplished since leaving the state of Washington to come to a pole barn with an RV is truly breathtaking. Congratulations.....enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!
When you run that saw...add some windshield washer fluid...won't freeze n won't upset your tile/grout set up!! Did it in 6 degree weather!! Cold hands,but tile job done!! Jus a suggestion!! 👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍
@@GoodSimpleLiving if ya don't want to use windshield fluid, ya can use " white vinegar" in your sump...it changes the freeze point n you will have no problemo cutting, just rinse before install...!!( vinegar smell)! Good luck n stay warm! 👍🧙♂️!!
Ms.Melissa...you are such a hard working woman. You never run away from a difficult task. I love how you make time for your kids. Missed your oldest on this one. Such a great example of wife, mother and friend. God bless you, too.
Watched from the move through the build...but as I watch the wood, the sheet rock, nails, etc come together what I love the most is the family which us what makes the material a home. The camper, the tiny home, now the dream house...its the family that counts.
Your shower is beautiful! Love your tile choices. My mother passed recently and we sold her home,the buyer wanted a radon test so we split the cost with them. The results came back at 17 ,we were shocked! The buyer had the system installed to vent the radon out. My parents lived there 38 years and never thought of anything like radon could be in there home. My father died of lung cancer 2 yrs ago. I highly recommend everyone have this test done. Thankfully you are having the test done now and not years later, I pray for 4.0 or less test results. The system isn't cheap to have installed but very necessary.
Wow, unbelievable. I’m so so sorry that happened to your family. Wishing this family much luck in this aspect. Hopefully we will hear soon enough. All the Best!
We purchased this house 16 yrs ago while I was being treated for cancer so radon was a big concern. We had a radon test done and the result was 7 so we had the owners take care of of getting the radon system activated. We live in western Maryland and the radon is slightly elevated in this part of the state. Most people aren't even aware of this.
Dear Melissa & Jeremy, My words are inadequate in expressing my admiration to you and family for making your journey available to the public. You as a family have made my approaching life journey’s end so enjoyable. I am 82 and fighting several types of blood cancer. Don’t feel sad for me because my faith in My Savior have assured my destination. You have so eased the journey through your videos. Your neighbors are the luckiest people in the world! Thank you from the depth of heart for the privilege of your sharing. I hug you each from afar.
Dear Leon, Here is my perspective as we prepare to meet Jesus face to face: I liken womb to earth and earth to heaven. Just as I am unable to recall how it felt in the womb, I believe it will also be so in heaven--unable to recall all the pain and suffering on earth and look forward to unlimited joy and happiness in our forever home. As a Catholic, I will be praying for you and the grace of a happy birth into eternal life!! 💖 As said by a favorite priest of mine: "Once we are born, we never cease to exist; we just can't see you! Wrapping you in Jesus' loving care! Amen, Leon!
The tile work is amazing!! The satisfaction of putting the last piece of tile for total completion of the home must have been beyond words🤩 Been watching since you decided to pack up , leave Washington & head on a new journey. And what a journey it’s been. Can’t wait for the garage? Or barn next. Love y’all 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
My heart sings for every video & the way you work so graciously together. Even with pipes freezing & running out of spacers, you simply glide through. Your attitude of gratitude shines brightly. I loved the snippets from the early build days. Thank y’all so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Y'all did an amazing job on the shower!! It looks so good!! Congratulations on the full completion of your home build! I'm absolutely amazed at all y'all have accomplished. Well done Souza family, well done!!!
Awesome! Now it's ready for glass doors. That's really good to see that the children got to have a sleep over in the loft. Take care and stay warm and safe and have a blessed week amen.
Ps you've done a lot of preventive steps too seal the under side of your home, just remember to open those vents back up too allow fresh air underneath.
Like watching your channel. I build tile showers for a living. For never having done it before yours looks good. You could have used the schulter metal on the edge of the walls it will finish it off much nicer. You can still put it in after the fact, just alittle more difficult. Love the fact that you guys have done almost all of this house on your own. Keep it up
The tile looks fantastic, all your cuts are perfect, great job! That was cute that the kids wanted to sleep in the loft, and the bomber jacket and Top Gun playing on the tv, priceless! Your home is beautiful and you both did it by yourselves and should be really proud! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
It looks sooo good! Congratulations on your 2 1/2 year journey! Loved watching the big and little accomplishments your family achieved! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Congratulations from Wyoming-You guys had a long journey ahead of you! But you persevered and look at the beautiful home you built together! You’re definitely a team in every sense of the word ! I hope you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished- you should be! I love watching your videos and seeing the wholesomeness of your everyday life! Quite frankly it’s refreshing and so heartwarming. God bless you big!!
Jeremy and Melissa I love your channel and all you do. The building of your home and how you are raising your children. Home schooling is one of the best ways in these times as some of the things they are instilling in the kids now, kind of brain washing into there way of thinking is so evil and wrong. OMG the way you put your heart and soul into giving to others gives me hope and makes me smile. God Bless all of you. I pray he continues to keep you all safe from evil.
I think the little successes are the most important to celebrate. They are so easy overlook and so necessary to keep feeling like progress is being made. Congratulations. Now do the tiling on your backsplash and that should be the last of it in the house. You guys rock!
I have been following you before you started the foundation for your house. Congratulations on finally doing the final finishing of the master bath. Love seeing the family enjoying the fruits of your labor. Your house is beautiful.
Just darn the socks. Good skill to teach the kids. I have done it more and more recently. Throwing good clothing away is wasteful. You guys are so able in all areas to show your kids how to live. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Darning socks was probably my first exposure to sewing when I was about 5 yrs old. It became one of my assigned chores. That was "only" 70 years ago. 😊
Oh my, the shower is GORGEOUS!! You did such a great job! And you covered the LAST uncovered spot in your house after a 2.5 year build?? Stand back and look, yes, and how about a happy dance?!😄 YOU EARNED IT! Bravo to all of you! Love from MN!
Beautiful shower! I love how everyone works together to get things done! Love seeing the horses and sheep in their winter glory! So beautiful! Love seeing all the animals! What a fun place to be, up in the loft! Great place to curl up with a good book! Beautiful family, beautiful view, beautiful home!
You reminded us about the standing back and recalling the projects, and the pleasure it gives when you finish a project. And that for us is 50yrs ago, when we started our own home build. Thanks you.
Congratulations on your beautiful shower. Your attention to detail along with the patience to do your best, however long it takes, truly is creating an exceptional homestead. Melissa you did a great explanation of radon. Blessings to all of you.
Great job on the master bathroom 😁 beautiful! I can only imagine falling asleep in the loft while watching the night sky..... shooting stars ... naming constellations.... finding the milky way .... What a great place to put a telescope and cozy reading (library) area. Home and family safety should always be key. Thank you for sharing! God bless y'all may he continue to bless y'all in body, mind and spirit.
I always look forward to your videos. I feel part of your family life. Very satisfying when the grouting is done and the tiles are cleaned. It looks good. Love and best wishes to you all from Mike. ❤
Beautiful job on the shower! Unbelievable the amount of work that went into cutting the tiles and suffering through those temperatures! This whole project was a huge undertaking but well worth the effort!
Well guys, what can I say, you both, as well as the kids in some ways, have built a beautiful, strong, homely, home for you and your family for years and generations to come. You should be so, so proud of the hard work you have put in and also in all weathers for the past 2 years and some days not knowing if you have the strength to carry on but you did it guys, you did it. A mahoosive congratulations. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love from England. XX
Your shower looks great, I wish ours looked as good and we hired it done. Eli watching Top Gun reminds me of our son when the first one came out, he watched it with this father a hundred times, so loud the whole house shook... I love watching you both enjoy your accomplishments as you should. Great job!
Great job on the shower. It looks really beautiful. Lot of struggle and hard work in freezing temperatures, but the end result is stunning. Well done to you both. ♥️♥️♥️🙏
It has been so fun watching you build. I feel like we are coming to the end of the Truman Show where all the different people who have been watching suddenly go back to their ordinary day... What is next? Will you be filming making the garage and your garden?
What a well designed house. The fact that Jeremy can work at the front of the house in snow and that he is willing to do so shows your strength of love for your family and the quality of the house you both have created and built.
The shower looks great. The weather looks so cold, but the sunset and snow on the mountain makes it all worth it. Hope the radon test come out in the correct range Have a great weekend. See ya next week.
I do so love watching your family grow, not just the family but all everything that you do. I love how you tackle all the jobs that you never knew how to do but you never let it stop you.
That shower looks so pretty!! So frustrating with the freezing, but as always Jeremy pushed thru it and got it done, congrats. Looking forward to you next week, God Bless
I'm so pleased that you have finally finished the inside of your beautiful dream home..from earth to sky...it has been an epic journey not only for your family but for us your friends n family ❤️ Thanking you once again for including us.. We love you lots ❤️❤️❤️😁
The shower looks amazing and most guys would have thrown in the towel and waited for a warmer day but you two just pushed through. It looks amazing!!! I've been telling my hubby that we need to take our jet tub out and build a new shower with a seat in it. As we're aging that deep tub edge will be hard to navigate!
I never understood why non-smokers were dying from lung cancer. Then I became a home inspector and studied up on radon, and it started making sense. People are living in houses that may be radon traps, without having any idea. This is why I try to convince every one of my clients to get their house/prospective houses tested.
the most I ever tested was 149 pci. Home built in 2003 and tested in 2012. Then I tested another home 5 years ago brand new and just a little high in the basement, but the kitchen was almost 50 pci. It had a radon mitigation system in it. Why was the kitchen high, they had natural gas for the stove supply and the gas in the area had a 58-day period where a few of the half-life's would need to wait before the radon level in the gas lowered to below 6 pci's. I have done a few school districts following the EPA standards for schools, and there were a few surprises.
@@kevinmurphy2545 like most testing, for relators, never found out. Now a few years ago from doing Phase I ESAs in the county I had the Dem. and Rep. party heads call me about this property that had void spaces developing and the owner would fill the holes with gravel. The problem, the property was used a few owners ago as the township landfill. The only reason I knew was the reports I got and looking at the PA DEP known sites for other projects in that area.
Don’t throw that sock away, Melissa. As a homeschooling/homesteading family time to learn/teach the kids how to “darn” socks by using a light bulb 💡 That’s how my Grandma taught me as a teenager 🤗
This is really a momentous moment!❤❤❤ As you noted...the last surface in the house to be completed🙌🙌🙌😍 Well done, congratulations and WOW...just WOW! you guys are my heros . I take inspiration from you and push though whatever task is in front of me because I have watched you do that!! (I have a cousin who didn't have a front door...for 3 years!!!) Here in New England we just experienced the coldest days I have ever lived through...-18 with a wind chill of -35!!!! Brrrrr💙💙💙💙 Stay safe and warm, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
Congratulations and Kudos, Souza fam!!! It's been a blessing to be along on your journey of building your dream home and watching it go up, piece by piece! Y'all are a tremendous team who can accomplish anything together!! I'm so proud for you!! Love, blessings, and hugs to you from Rome, GA!! ❤️🙏🤗
Shower looks great 👍 I know this is a little late but if you ever need to use a tile saw in freezing temperatures again you can use windshield washer fluid instead of water to keep it from freezing.
At 5:37, Melissa, you should make a picture of Jeremy. Put it up in new house somewhere for your family. What a great picture to see of their daddy, your husband and his hardworking dedication to his wife and family. God bless you guys.
Great job! Tiles are gorgeous. Now to install the glass doors then kitchen backsplash and loft rail. Wow. Meanwhile celebrate each accomplishment along the way. 🎉
WOW guys!! what a gorgeous shower. I love the color or tile and that grout along with the octagon tile makes it pop. Great taste Melissa! I pray your results to that poison gas comes back negative. You guys have worked so hard for over two years to get where you're at with your beautiful home. Let's pray about it. God bless you both and your beautiful children.
You guys have soooo much to be proud of! Your children, your homestead and your beautiful hearts! Well done! Jeremy you did an amazing job laying your shower tiles while dealing with the freezing temperatures. And Melissa beside you all the way. ♥️ Watching your jouney is such a pleasure. :)
Yes! It's Saturday & your video is up, my favorite part of the week. Congratulations on finishing the shower & just love how you show everything even tho it's so hard & the cold, oh my goodness! Hope you are staying warm, you make me so happy & how you shoot your videos, the music,the jokes everything just makes my week. Love you all, have a good week!!!! (From Michigan)
Thanks guys for sharing the new episode with the new house work update. Thank you for raising awareness of the importance of detecting the element of Radon in ordinary homes. The best way to prevent and if you can buy manual detectors and place them as if it were the smoke detector.👍👏
How blessed you are and what a blessing your entire family is to others! If your lives to come are anything like they are now get ready for the " ride of your lives!"
Your sheep are the most adorable looking sheep that I have ever seen. 😍 Y'all are truly blessed! A beautiful family with a beautiful home that has a beautiful view! ❤
All the small success especially make the finished product seem like a giant accomplishment, and that’s what you two a done. I’ve watched you two for over a year and I went back to the beginning to see where you started, and you blew me away. A sincere CONGRATULATIONS for all of your hard work. You’re children will remember all the days and some nights that you spent working together for their lives to be better and secure. Again Congratulations on a job well done
Hi Melissa. The shots with Jeremy working while snow flutters down in the foreground are precious. They felt ethereal. This is from me, who lives in a year-round summer country with absolutely no knowledge of what real cold feels like.😊 Keep well! I enjoy the glimpses into your family's life. Blessings.🙏
Well done, I hope you get on OK with the Radon check, I remember I put a radon barrier underneath the concrete floors when I was building my own house, it's just kinda standard here to just put it down for all houses here, and it doubles as a damp proof membrane against rising damp in our cold humid environment.
That scene of Jeremy at the saw silhouetted by the darkness of night and the snow falling was epic.
Thank you ❤️
Oh my gosh YES awesome shot!
You are truly the best builder and Dad, Jeremy, and you, Melissa, the greatest assistant-builder, videographer, homeschooler and Momma on RUclips.

Nothing beats that sense of accompliment you get from doing it yourself.
When you run that saw...add some windshield washer fluid...won't freeze n won't upset your tile/grout set up!!

That shower looks GREAT! AWESOME JOB!
💫 so very proud of you both
and the whole family ❤
It looks amazing!
The shower looks amazing and most guys would have thrown in the towel and waited for a warmer day but you two just pushed through. It looks amazing!!! I've been telling my hubby that we need to take our jet tub out and build a new shower with a seat in it. As we're aging that deep tub edge will be hard to navigate!
I never understood why non-smokers were dying from lung cancer. Then I became a home inspector and studied up on radon, and it started making sense. People are living in houses that may be radon traps, without having any idea. This is why I try to convince every one of my clients to get their house/prospective houses tested.
So important
the most I ever tested was 149 pci. Home built in 2003 and tested in 2012. Then I tested another home 5 years ago brand new and just a little high in the basement, but the kitchen was almost 50 pci. It had a radon mitigation system in it. Why was the kitchen high, they had natural gas for the stove supply and the gas in the area had a 58-day period where a few of the half-life's would need to wait before the radon level in the gas lowered to below 6 pci's. I have done a few school districts following the EPA standards for schools, and there were a few surprises.
@BrettJ WOW 😳. That 149 is bad. Hopefully they took care of it.
Cancer is a cell. Could be anybody.
@@kevinmurphy2545 like most testing, for relators, never found out. Now a few years ago from doing Phase I ESAs in the county I had the Dem. and Rep. party heads call me about this property that had void spaces developing and the owner would fill the holes with gravel. The problem, the property was used a few owners ago as the township landfill. The only reason I knew was the reports I got and looking at the PA DEP known sites for other projects in that area.
Love the shot of the snow falling while you were cutting tile. Beautiful Job as always ❤😊
Don’t throw that sock away, Melissa. As a homeschooling/homesteading family time to learn/teach the kids how to “darn” socks by using a light bulb 💡
That’s how my Grandma taught me as a teenager 🤗
id like to see a video of that,plz? :)
Oh I need to see that. I have a guess of how that works.
I just love that you still have your tree up.❤️
This is really a momentous moment!❤❤❤ As you noted...the last surface in the house to be completed🙌🙌🙌😍 Well done, congratulations and WOW...just WOW! you guys are my heros . I take inspiration from you and push though whatever task is in front of me because I have watched you do that!! (I have a cousin who didn't have a front door...for 3 years!!!) Here in New England we just experienced the coldest days I have ever lived through...-18 with a wind chill of -35!!!! Brrrrr💙💙💙💙 Stay safe and warm, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋
Brrrr stay safe
Congratulations and Kudos, Souza fam!!! It's been a blessing to be along on your journey of building your dream home and watching it go up, piece by piece! Y'all are a tremendous team who can accomplish anything together!! I'm so proud for you!! Love, blessings, and hugs to you from Rome, GA!! ❤️🙏🤗
Amazing tile work. I enjoy your videos since stumbling on to your channel about 2 months back. Beautiful family.
Shower looks great 👍 I know this is a little late but if you ever need to use a tile saw in freezing temperatures again you can use windshield washer fluid instead of water to keep it from freezing.
At 5:37, Melissa, you should make a picture of Jeremy. Put it up in new house somewhere for your family. What a great picture to see of their daddy, your husband and his hardworking dedication to his wife and family. God bless you guys.
Oh the snow falling so softly at night was so peaceful,and beautiful. Love your videos,and family
Great job! Tiles are gorgeous. Now to install the glass doors then kitchen backsplash and loft rail. Wow. Meanwhile celebrate each accomplishment along the way. 🎉
Congratulations on your completed Home! So proud of you guys
WOW guys!! what a gorgeous shower. I love the color or tile and that grout along with the octagon tile makes it pop. Great taste Melissa! I pray your results to that poison gas comes back negative. You guys have worked so hard for over two years to get where you're at with your beautiful home. Let's pray about it. God bless you both and your beautiful children.
You guys have soooo much to be proud of! Your children, your homestead and your beautiful hearts! Well done! Jeremy you did an amazing job laying your shower tiles while dealing with the freezing temperatures.
And Melissa beside you all the way. ♥️
Watching your jouney is such a pleasure. :)
Congratulations and nice work. Love how you don’t let a major project like building a shower stop you
Looking good .... looking REALLY good !!! and great shot of Jeremy's back with the snow falling ..
WOW!! That shower looks fantastic!! Great job, especially where the valves go!!

Hope you are staying warm, you make me so happy & how you shoot your videos, the music,the jokes everything just makes my week. Love you all, have a good week!!!! (From Michigan)
Thanks guys for sharing the new episode with the new house work update. Thank you for raising awareness of the importance of detecting the element of Radon in ordinary homes. The best way to prevent and if you can buy manual detectors and place them as if it were the smoke detector.👍👏
How blessed you are and what a blessing your entire family is to others! If your lives to come are anything like they are now get ready for the " ride of your lives!"
Your sheep are the most adorable looking sheep that I have ever seen. 😍 Y'all are truly blessed! A beautiful family with a beautiful home that has a beautiful view! ❤
I love every time you show your sheep. They are so cute and seem so sweet. I’m getting two babies in a couple months. Can’t wait. ❤
Congratulations you two, your BEAUTIFUL DREAM HOME is finally finished! I can't wait for your next projects.
Amazing! It’s beautiful! You guys must be so happy. ❤
All the small success especially make the finished product seem like a giant accomplishment, and that’s what you two a done. I’ve watched you two for over a year and I went back to the beginning to see where you started, and you blew me away. A sincere CONGRATULATIONS for all of your hard work. You’re children will remember all the days and some nights that you spent working together for their lives to be better and secure. Again Congratulations on a job well done
Thank you so much 💓
Very nice! Celebrating with you all as you check off these milestones and progress.
Yes celebrating 🍾 🙌 for the house build... that bathroom colors look good... peace and love
Hi Melissa. The shots with Jeremy working while snow flutters down in the foreground are precious. They felt ethereal. This is from me, who lives in a year-round summer country with absolutely no knowledge of what real cold feels like.😊 Keep well! I enjoy the glimpses into your family's life. Blessings.🙏
Well done, I hope you get on OK with the Radon check, I remember I put a radon barrier underneath the concrete floors when I was building my own house, it's just kinda standard here to just put it down for all houses here, and it doubles as a damp proof membrane against rising damp in our cold humid environment.
