In this episode, we finish all of the siding on the addition and begin a new project that we've been wanting to do for a very long time.
Spencer, from one man to another, I salute you my friend. Going from not ever having built anything to building an entire house and every system in it takes a special kind of person. Especially, to have achieved professional looking results. Well done man. Well done indeed.
I couldn't agree more! He does have a very enthusiastic eager -to-learn , ' Lead Person ' as well, which can make all the difference in the world !! ;)
Meticulous and beautiful work for sure. It's a pleasure to watch.
Except his caulk, damn that's sloppy!
@@jamess1787 thats because he's going to paint over it. As long as the calk is smooth and it printable you'll never know it wasn't done perfectly
@@monicaminniefield6750 when it cracks, it will show! Everything else has been immaculate. His silicone job looks like my bathroom tub 😂.
That cloud time-lapse was Unbelievably to watch!! You all are doing such a great job - My favorite video to watch each week!! Stay healthy!!
You can see when they look at each other how much they love one another.
You are a rare couple. Not many husbands and wives work together like this. Many blessings be among you. ❤❤❤❤
actually there are a tonne of husband and wife teams who have delibertately chosen to work together on homesteads,,, and they have youtube channels,, quildbrook farm, holler homestead, Rhodes, Art and Bri,,,Roots and Refuge, Doug and Stacey,,, Simple Living Alaska,,,it takes more than one.
YAY! Love it all.
Kense... everyone talks about Spense being good at all he does. He is too. But, you are an excellent MOM. Beau is on your chest unless napping. You're always swaying & bouncing her. You smile at her. I saw you blow bubbles and read to her. I'm guessing she doesn't have a lot of toys. I didn't. All we need is love. You're bringing up a precious girl. Kudos Mama!
You guys never cease to amaze and have been an inspiration to me on my own container home build. Your place is coming out great!
Seeing how beautiful your home is turning out its just your hard work and love god blessings on your home and family .
It's so amazing to watch your family on this adventure. It would be a dream come true for me. Despite the pandemic its nice to see some positivity in the world!
👍YES
I just love this couple and all they are doing, building a home together by hand!! Such an inspiring story...
Me too!!! They are a terrific example of what can be done with a lot of love and hard work. I know we don't see the rough spots but they seem to get through everything including a neighbor who barges in and doesn't ring the door bell. You know, the big bull who must be a building inspector.
While taking care of a baby, I would've lost it right now 😂
I build houses for a living I don't know any other way to build a house except for by hand. What other way is are you going to build it with your feet?
@@judycook1918
Bull came to fertilize the lawn.

That time-lapse of the clouds at 3:56 - so beautiful and your build is looking so awesome, well done, well done, well done!
Was thinking the very same.
Same here...
I really can't wait to see the end results of this beautiful home ❤💯💯 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
You two folks have an amazingg sense of humor, Kenzie has the besst laugh. Keep up the great work.
and keep your sense of humor LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
I love you guys, I wish each episode was longer. You should be so proud with what you've accomplished
Yes, wish your videos were longer. I look forward every week for your show. Such a beautiful family. ❤️
So proud for you guys. I know it may seem like it's been forever since you started, but I think you had around 45k subscribers when I subscribed. You're creating a beautiful homestead, you haven't killed each other (yet), and you have your beautiful baby & a whole new venture w/the youtube channel--all in such a short time. Thanks for bringing us along with you on the journey.
It's like a never ending project. Each upload almost starts where they last left off in the previous one. What did they do in the days in between ? Nothing?
Or is it that the house is complete & they are now uploading only well edited clips ?
@@Ty-fc7ml You gotta account for the time she (I believe) spents editing every video they post. They need to work on the house, take care of a baby and edit videos. I think that they post videos at a reasonable pace
Mckenzie and Spencer - the plants on the siding are going to look beautiful and lush. I do enjoy hearing little Beau’s squeals, makes my granny heart sing. And the rolling storm clouds and rain is so pretty- l really enjoy the beauty of a storm ( so long as it’s damage free) longing for some good rain here in Melbourne. 🕊💕
You know it’s so comforting and peaceful watching your videos; watching the house come to life, watching the two of you interact and of course watching the little one grow up. During these crazy times it’s my 10 minutes of peace, happiness and escapism watching your journey. Thank you so much, not only for the work you do but the joy you bring us.
God Bless This Amazing, Skilled Family💐❤
The house is coming along so well... And those crazy cloud shots are phenomenonal. Thanks!
Was thinking the same thing and great musical score to go along with it.
Yeah, the cloud shots were just cool. Nice work y’all!
In a strange world u 4 bring sanity to us that follow, I thank u so much for sharing and look forward to weekly show I wish no worries and love and success. Even when COMPLETE please let us diehards know how ur doing, I'm 71 and when I watch, u make me feel young thanks
The metal lattice and plants looks awesome great idea.
Always hitting me with the wow factor... Every time I watch, it’s just amazing ... it just keeps getting better, and better... 💪👍👍 truly a blessing... Can’t wait to see your ideas for the inside. LETS GO CHAMP!! 💪
The trellis idea is a great one. It will look good and shade the wall. Cool! I am following four families building their off-grid homes, you are my favorite. (Don't tell the others. 😉)
Agreed! Most of the others are sponsor/subscriber hoes or try to use sexy bait pics to boost clicks. And others are well.... just not as interesting.
@@CryhavocMike I did like Alyssa and Jesse but he got a bit condescending and I think they've pretty much told RUclips and viewers it's not worth their time - interesting aspect on building in a different state though
Look forward to these every week. You two are delightful.
Your build will be a beautiful home and I really enjoy watching you create it, thank you. Guys remember your health is very important also. Spencer looks a bit knackered and needs a break perhaps. Once the outside is watertight and protected, take a break for week or two to recharge. It will do you good. Very best wishes to you from rainy England.
He looks exhausted....a hot bubble bath would do him good..and a glass of sweet tea...waving hello to you both from Dallas
I really salute you for your partnership in building this beautiful house with so much love and respect for one.another. I hope you'll make the Lord as your partner too in making a home for your family. Stay sweet and in love..God bless you.
The time lapse with the clouds is just..wow!!
Love the videos. Just a note from my experience: Allowing plants to grow on or touch your house, just invites bugs to get on and in your house.
Snakes is what would scare me. And your right I thought a way for ants and spiders but maybe it will help with the frame has welding on idk.
I made this error, don't do it
I love seeing how far this has come and how big this channel has grown..great job!! Big congrats to u both....u three..
Four...cant forget 🐻..
@@MarioJones Five, now. MacKenzie, Spencer, Beau, Bear and little IO. Donna Blackman, USA
You both have no idea how lucky you are. Don’t mess it up. Stay in love. Love the video’s.
❤
What is crazy is How GORGEOUS you look! I keep coming back to check on this build once in a while, but mostly to see your smile!
I wish I could get a double dose of video cause I miss you so much during the week. You feel like my extended family. You are doing a fabulous job on your home, and you are an inspiration for us all. Thank You, Cassandra
I love the progress I wait every week just to see what's going lovely family
I'm a single mom that pretty much taught myself how to do alot of handywork around the house & backyard 'with the help of RUclips of course 😄' but, watching you both is probably the only time I reconsidered having a partnership, to have someone who enjoys doing all type of handywork would be a blessing. Your home is coming along beautifully💕 Dynamite team👏👏
Me too 🥰
When you caulk put i nece even bead of caulking then spray with soapy water this way when you smooth out it wont squish all over as caulk wont stick to water and you get a real neat finish, iv been doing it for years here in the UK.
give it a go and some scrap timber
Steve
Yeah this way you dont need to use gloves either. The excess you can just wipe off your finger with a paper towel.
I see he got bad information on the the caulking should be using a 1 part polyurethane there in Texas. That stuff he's using is good for the interiorbut not good enough for the exterior there in Texas.
Not sure what you use in America
Here in the UK we use silicone for bathrooms and out doors
Caulk is used for inside before decorating as it can be painted over plus its not waterproof in extream conditions like shower rooms. but silicone wont stick to paint
What a beautiful young family you are. We so enjoy watching your skills and your enthusiasm in creating a loving home. Love you guys. Thank you for sharing with all of us. God bless your home🙏♥️
Your videos are always such a treat. Thank you for sharing. Spenser's so Zen in his precision - and patience - and dry humor. MacKenzie’s so upbeat and supportive - with quirky humor. Such a wonderful balance. Add in Bear, Beau - the domestic and wild..life around - and the
VISUALS. You guys rock.
You guys are so much fun to watch! I feel like your mom and feel so proud as well! Keep moving forward and realize your dream! Much love from Texas!
Waited for this update and watched as soon as I got the notification. Now to wait another week. Quarantine life or not, it's nice to catch this family each week.
3:25 just made me smile. I remember when my girls were little.
Can't wait to see Bryce from 'Living Big In A Tiny House' to come view your home! ;)
That would be soooo awesome!!
It's actually a pretty good sized house now though haha!
😃😃😃 Ahhh, what a wonderful world! Love Bryce too! Although I guess this house too big to be tiny! 😍🏡😂
This is not considered a “tiny” home
I was thinking that too!
I stumbled across you guys about 3 / 4 months ago and have been loving following your journey!
You’re absolutely nailing this!! Big love from the UK
It's nice to see Spence getting more comfortable in front of the camera.
I noticed that too! It's really nice ^^
The money is rolling good buddy
Spence, why not cut all the siding pieces of the same length at once and bring them over all at once?
He has always been comfortable just super busy. He is cute. ❤
rxic true true
Another great episode, always sad when I hear the ending theme....
When you move in you should do a trailer tour to show us how you’ve been living. I’m sure the van-life community would be interested.
They do have a video of that already if you just want to see it. It wasn't a video on just that but she has took the container community on a tour of the trailer.

You are some of the very few people I've seen around here introducing plants in their container home. I'm so happy you made a green roof and those climbing plants will look amazing. SO eco friendly! It really shows your love for nature, and the reason you moved off-grid. You've got all my appreciation.
I started watching when my wife was pregnant and now our baby girl is 2 years and 4 months ;-0) Will check back when my daughter goes to University ;-)
Great episode the cinematography on the storm was amazing 🙏🏻 Every little step moves you forward 💜💜
Idk why anyone would give this a thumbs down, I look forward to a new episode every week. You 4 are awesome!
People are just jealous...
I'll go one further - some people are just malcontent asses. Gr.
Hi, you may want to rethink the vines, they will introduce lots of bugs onto your home that otherwise you wouldn’t have...Great work
Hmmm ... I can't help but eonder if there's an irgsnic way to keep the bugs from growing.
@Jay Boogie I have also seen vines actually grow INTO the structure of a home as well!!
Yes I’d rethink about those vines, especially the big long thorns on that vine. You will get pricked every time you cut it to maintain it.
Vines are very damaging with their moisture retention and their attachment methods.
I was so hoping you'd get that fly 😂 also, your face when you said "caulk" y'all are awesome and I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work. 👍😎
Really love it. I'm from Europe and following you both for over a year now and I can say that I am hookt on your weekly journals of progress. I Take my hat off of what you both have accomplish.
Your project is inspiring. Here’s an idea for your kitchen. The perfect kitchen island for a small space is a Rolling tool cabinet, I have one in my kitchen, wow, I love it. I got mine at Home Depot, in has two rows of drawers, 10 drawers in all. The lower drawers are deep so I put my pans and glass casserole dishes in them. They hold tons of heavy kitchen items and the drawers roll smoothly out and in. I keep all our cooking utensils, cutlery and knives in the top drawers. The cabinet has an electrical outlet at one end, so put an electric floor plug in the floor and then plug in your cabinet. The best thing about this Island is that I can roll it to other locations to open up space for company or to modify my kitchen for projects like canning or sewing, etc. The wood top could be covered with a wider counter to create a bar, or just to enlarge the work area, I kept mine as is because my kitchen is too narrow for a regular cabinet style Island. If I ever built a tiny house, I would even use Metal Tool cabinets for lower kitchen cabinets, they give more drawers than kitchen cabinet do and they are space saving, but they are a great idea for Kitchen Islands.
Research 'Images for tool cabinet kitchen island' and you'll see how great this idea is.
Congrats on 800k LARGE !!
Building this home really makes you appreciate the little things and necessities. Great channel!
I think I would have put a trellis about 18" from house for the vines to grow on. It would still shade the house. Having vines on a structure causes moisture and will make the container rust. Also the vines will get up on the house and try to grow into any little Crack. Have thought about the idea I gave you about floating a pipe across the pond? A friend of mine did that and it stopped the cattle.
Very good ideas!!!
I learn A LOT from the comments on this channel.
Pretty sure it depends on the plant you choose.
But I like the pipe idea! ♡
Thank you for bringing us along and into your home.
15 weeks furlough in England and loved watching your story and videos. Sadly now caught up. So look forward to the inside taking shape. Thanks for all your work and videos they are great 👍😀
Turned it on as soon as i got the notifacation then whoosh it was over lets hope the week goes fast till the next one. The house is looking beautifull its a joy to watch it coming along.
It litterly pours when it rains in Texas, lol. Your home looks really great I know you guys will be thrilled to actually live in your home. You are both hard working to accomplish a great place for the family and BEAU is so cute and adorable. I enjoy your videos, GREAT JOB TO ALL OF YOU. ps.....BEAR IS GREAT TOO what a nice dog. The videos wouldn't be complete without him. Hate the snakes but love your story of your home to be completed.
The soil around their place is fairly sandy. Watch out for Copper Heads.
Mackenzie and Spencer your home is becoming so beautiful. I am so excited for you as your dreams come true. Thank you for taking us along for your journey. Kenz your editing skills only get better and better ... from awesome to great story telling!
I love your patient attitude and I know that when you finish it is going to be gorgeous God bless
I absolutely love the scenery shots
Tip from a professional welder...always weld uphill when welding vertically. Going downhill creates very weak joints prone to breaking.
That depends on what wire he is using
don't tell them that. they might tear it all down and re do it
bluekouki86 it depends on weather it’s structural project or just cosmetic.
Mike Box 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@CarleenIrvine whether it is, not the weather.
I cannot wait to clap👏 laugh😅 n cry🤧 with you both when it's done! You 4👷♂️👷♀️👶🐕 are so amazing in deserve it all! SCREAMING I CANT WAIT FROM KC MO❤
It'll never be completely done. There's always something to add to make life a bit better.
Who else figured out that Spencer became more familiar with the camera!! He started talking longer facing the camera😀Love ya guys from Algeria🇩🇿
Your home is beautiful and coming along nicely. I've had plans to do this for 20 years but life doesn't always go in the direction you want it to.
I got divorced 20 years ago and it's taken me these 20 yrs to get back on my feet. Saving the money wasn't the hardest part. I had a heart attack last year and now I don't know what to do. If I don't find some good, affordable land soon, I may finish up renting for the rest of my life.
My plan was for 4 containers, 2 each side, with a 30-foot gap between and fill that section in. Much like yours, but with a bigger area between. I have 5 kids and 8 grandkids (so far). It would be nice to have space for all of them to come for Christmas and stay whenever they need to come home.
God bless you both. I pray you life happily ever-after in your wonderful home.
Hope all goes well for you
Mackenzie I have to say your hair is beautiful! My Grand Daughter has beautiful ginger hair. Also what you guys are doing is so A amazing. I think to heck with the Rat Race. Live life your way. I love it. Do what makes you both feel your best. Congrats on this lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Just a reminder that the vines retain moisture that leads to rust on the containers.
That´s not a major issue. Shipping containers are made with Corten steel, which does rust, but only on the surface.
Whew, good thing someone mentioned that. Maybe they can paint that wall with something before the plants to inhibit formation of rust? Is there such a thing?
Plus the vines will hold moisture and grow into the wood soffit.
@@Auggies1956
The vines will need trimming periodically to maintain a groomed appearance.
Thomas W they are also a good place for snakes to hide. Shaded and warm
I really love this family ❤️ keep safe ❤️🙏
I love you guys so much you make my day better everytime you post a video!!!
I had to say, THANKS!!! Your little family, all the hard work, and very cool (in more ways than one!) ideas provide such an enjoyable, hopefully, and interesting video. My sanity session!!! Truly enjoy seeing your home come to life!!
If vines are a must, I’d plant Hops. Bugs don’t seem to like hanging out in them, they’re less invasive, easy to trim, and great to have around for some home-brew😉
Excellent suggestion. The vines they have look like bougainvillea. The thorns are a nightmare, but it does love sun!
@@buckwhitetail1876 They are killer thorns! If not managed, it will be a living nightmare to clean off later. Ha ha.
Bougainvilla are horrifying to prune and they grow rapidly.
Immediately puts up slate for growing hops...
You all are the best couple on the tube I wish you had more videos love you all so much thanks
So happy to see you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yet again being waiting for this all week love the videos ❤️❤️
What color are you painting? The blue color on the container looks very nice.😊
Watching this house makes me sm happy❤️
Looking so Awesome!! Wow!! that cloud sequence!! you guys are rocking the whole shebang!!
I enjoy these so much!!!
Love how the house is coming.. so envious of that property 🤣 been watching for a few months and had to go back and start from the beginning.. about 60 videos in ... cant wait to see the finished product
Lol waiting all day for this. I’m trying to talk my husband into living off grid, no luck.
One day one time
🤣🤣🤣🤣 everyone's not cut out for it.
@@ofmyownaccord -- Ya' got that right! Sad though. 😢
Saad Salim - that's a whole other show!!
Guys, lifetime viewer first time poster.... I am really blown away with you attitude, commitment and love of life and each other. I could never do what you have done but I live my life vicariously through you. To go from 2 containers to a home is just amazing and I love following your journey every few days. Words cannot how much I love this channel 😍😍
You guys hands-down are my favorite RUclips channel to watch!!! I’m so thankful right now this time of life for you guys!!
They're called "cattle panels" in Texas. Watch out for snakes in the trellises.
A snake extinction event would be WONDERFUL. No more snakes EVER. A huge plus in the Earths history for sure.
Mosquitoes as well.
Snakes eat rats.
I'd much rather have snakes than rats.
But I wouldn't miss the mosquitos...
Signed, Texas Girl ♡
@@Digikidthevoiceofreason
Snakes help control rodents and some insects.
Mosquito's nah we don't need them. Only good for frog food.
Miserable little buggers !
In Australia we call it weldmesh
as an older person, it gives me hope when i see young people doing stuff like this. people who don't expect everything to be handed to them, aren't afraid of hard work, they DO, instead of making excuses why they CAN'T... people who obviously care for one another, and respect each other... it warms my heart.
DITTO that
Spencer, doing a fine job dude!!
I'm rebuilding my house after a storm damage. You inspire me. Thank You !
Ребята вы большие молодцы, смотрим продолжаем ваши новые выпуски. Не сдавайтесь-стройтесь!!!!
You should plant some Wisteria plants about 20 feet from your home. Make sure you have some medal trellis for them to grow up, they grow fast and come in colors.
“Looks like we have a storm rolling in” you guys have a big storm every week!
It's Texas. So, yeah. 😁
That time lapse was so cool.
April Little only certain parts of Texas, not in the Panhandle!
There's a storm across the valley
Clouds are moving in.............
John Denver was one of my favorites.
Ants LOVE vines on the house! They use them as Super Highways! BE CAREFUL!
You are a brilliant couple! God bless you two always, and your family. You`re working so hard, that you two deserve a great life, all the best. Send you my best wishes and blessings. I`m a senior lady, and I love all you've done in your house. Than you for it. Great job!!!
Love from India ❤️ u both made for each other lovely couple 💞
Spencer, I hope that you have plans for other construction projects!
Hea going to need a pole barn with workshop..
Don’t worry - I am sure they will add a 2nd floor
That is gonna look so beautiful!! The flowers on those vines against the color of your house ....stunning !!!!
Can’t wait to see y’all’s house
Your home is so amazing! I also have to say also that I love the cloud footage in the beginning of the video... incredible! I love seeing everything come together for you guys and I'm sure you are beyond excited to be able to move into your home fully very soon 😊💗
Blessed be the God of us all, who has given you the strength and help to accomplish all that you have done. May he continues to bless and protect your family from all harm. He deserves our praise and glory.
Guys y'all are amazing, really great job..., can't believe how it's looking
Down here near Austin the deer think the plants you picked out are candy. Thorns don't bother them at all.
Hey guy's that is so awesome I love that idea you guy's Rock,Take care and much love Family yeaaaaa,Your Baby is so big and so cute later :)
Footage of clouds is fantastic
Super impressed with your home-in-progress through every step. Exciting to watch each video as your home comes to life. Confirmation that anything is possible when you work together, regardless of less than positive comments. Thanks for sharing.
You guys are great. Spender a wonderful man of all trades. You two inspire, your living the dream. I enjoy the laughter and banter.
