I am SO very pleased for you. I remember when you first moved into the trailer. I have been following your journey as you built your dream, the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. I remember when you guys were scared that the snowstorm was going to collapse the trailer roof, when you were afraid that the tall, snow-laden trees were going to snap, fall and crush your trailer and when your only water source froze. You have worked so hard, so long, so consistently. You never gave up, even though I know there were many times that you really felt like calling it quits. But you didn't. You always, always found a way. Nothing stopped you. There were tons of obstacles, things that would have made lesser souls walk away, but not you guys. I can't even begin to express how proud I am of what you have done, the example you have set and I look forward to everything you are going to do in the future.
Dodo on everything Chuck said ,except I started B4 you even had trouble with town ,that caused you to look four somewhere else to live !!! It has been a fantastic journey for sure...hope some day we can get an inside tour of everything finished n pics. Of your girls n abit of update on what they want after college...all in good time ❤️💪power to you both, love your videos n the "dirt" sessions take care ,God bless, been out of it myself since May 2022 so that's why I'm late to see this vlog of yours,still not good ,got 50 % more to go ...to get back my health !!! Long time since that very first video that you first put out ...kind of miss them Jamie...n Jeremy, love your beautiful workmanship on everything that you do...Jamie,,do you still paint!!?
Ditto !!! 💕🙏🏻👍
I remember watching before the channel even existed!
... was soo amazing, even more proud!
To build a home is an achievement, to build your own home being your own contractor and during a worldwide pandemic is OUTSTANDING!
Well deserved congratulations.
Can't believe I've been following this channel for 5+ years lol. I started following your channel because of your canning videos! My husband and I have built 2 houses from scratch but wouldn't do it again in this financial climate either. Enjoy your beautiful home!
Starting watching the canning, loved the move and house build. Managed to get married, finish grad school, and have a baby while this was going on, but it's been busy for everyone! Glad it's working out for you guys 😁
i cant believe i've been watching you 2 for more than 5 years. congrats on the new home!
You folks have definitely set a high bar for channel watchers. I enjoy your channel, and will continue to watch. I enjoy this.
Congratulations. I’ve followed since the solar upgrade and I’ve always been inspired. Wishing you guys all the best.
I have been following Y'all for 7 yrs. ? Since you lived in the suburbs
Congratulations guys! You so deserve the beautiful home you built, and to live long, healthy, happy lives there! I know it has been a long haul for you, but now you can enjoy! Blessings!
I appreciate your honesty, transparency, but also am incredibly excited for you! I know that life and plans always take twists and turns…but your endurance has inspired us all 👏🏻👏🏻
YES it has!!!
you are THE MAN! That house is amazing. you should be very proud of yourselves
I remember when you bought the property, wow, 5 years has passed!
Your hard work and determination is what brought you across the finish line. Congratulations. It's a beautiful home and Jeremy you underestimate your talent. You are better than most contractors. What you have done is amazing. You guys are an awesome team.
I've missed the Dirts!! Great to see you both, you both look much less stressed! Well deserved and hard worked for achievements! I'm just so happy for you guys!! Congrats and welcome home! Smiles and blessings...
I'm so happy for you guys! I remember when you guys sold your last house & snitch neighbors. I'm definitely looking to go hybrid for our power in our new homestead so I'll look at those vids..again CONGRATS 👏🏾!
I've been following your journey since 2015/16. I'm so glad you guys finally got to move in! You folks are an inspiration. Hope the girls are well ❤️
You taught me how to can two years ago. I love you for that. I’m looking forward to more canning, preservation vids!! Good to see you both! ❤
Truly momentous, My wife and I have been fans since your neighbors were bitching about your chickens at the old place. BRAVO
⚘Are you planning on doing a walk through for us. We have been waiting and watching faithfully for a long time....hope so.
Your home is gorgeous!!! God has blessed the work and talent of your hands! May He continue to give you the strength and vision for the next phase of your journey!
It's not called a "forever house" because it takes that long to build, but it certainly seemed like it at times - and I wasn't the one living in a tiny trailer and doing all of the work.
I hope that you now get to enjoy lots of the other "forever".
Oh my goodness, it’s absolutely beautiful!!!!! I’m so excited for you guys. I was waiting for this day. Congratulations!!!!!
So nice to see/hear you two chatting in a video again!
What an example of brilliance, perseverance, team work, endurance and hard hard hard work!!! You guys amaze me...sometimes I was worried about you how hard it must have been...I am so glad you made it through and can show the world what the house is made of and what you are made of! You definitely are more than homesteaders, and more than conquerers!! Thank you for sharing your HUGE SUCCESS which was such a HUGE CHALLENGE ! Your kids have amazing parents!! ENJOY YOUR BEAUTIFUL FOREVER HOME . GOD BLESS YOU!! ❤💜
The house is amazing. I been watching you since your old place before you moved to then raw land. Time flies. You guys have done an amazing job.
Thanks!
Nice dirt. So happy for you both! Much respect and admiration. You deserve all the best.
Thank you very much!
As a viewer for about 6 years, I have loved your home build. I will also love seeing the gardens and other projects. Watching this process has been fascinating and far more complicated then I thought it would for you guys. Congratulations on your move in!
Cannot believe its been 5 years. Have been notified of any videos from you guys. House looks great. Hope it is a forever, but as the saying goes.... Never say never. We are so glad we downsized and yet have land so the structures are not a huge tax liability. We built our forever home but over a couple of decades, the state taxed us out. So now I hope it doesn't happen to you.
Congratulations 🥳🤗🏠 you built a beautiful home. I’ve enjoyed every video along the way and I looking forward to more projects 🥂
Congratulations! I’ve been here for every episode. 👍 I was general and laborer on our first home build in 2002 when I was almost 40. Sold that place and built another in 2017. I did the same process general and DIY on everything I could,,, but this project was a much larger commercial/residential one AND I was mid 50s… this is my last one too. Like you, I simply couldn’t do it again. I’m here till I kick the bucket, or sell and go full time RV…!
I applaud your persistence and perseverance! I am glad to see you both survived and built a beautiful home in the process. Congrats and cheers… when is the housewarming?
Awesome accomplishment guys, from the raw piece of land you showed us way back when to the great structure you have moved in to👍.
Props to your patience and commitment 👌🇺🇲🗽
Thanks 👍
Your home is beautiful. Love your videos, thanks for sharing your talents with us . Enjoy your new home . Fellow North Carolina resident.
Amazing! The house is awesome. I've been following your build since the start. I'm literally sitting here in our 30 ft trailer waiting for permits to break ground on our land. We sold everything to build a dream, you've been an inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
That is awesome!
Hang in there, we are in a 26' trailer and our builder just finished up our Barndominium shell so, now we get to get busy finishing the inside. Luckily we didn't have to have any permits except septic.
Congratulations. Its a huge accomplishment to build your own house. Now you can sit back and enjoy your accomplishment, while you guys do small homesteading projects like the garden and building up your pantry.
Time sure flies when you're having fun, congrats.
Congratulations, you guys. Your dedication, persistence and hard work to create your dream is inspiring. You've built a beautiful home and established a homestead--coupled with all of the skills you've developed along the way--that will take you through whatever the future might bring. I've enjoyed your channel for a very long time and wish you peace and happiness always. :-D
Aloha 🌺 Thank you! Amazing journey! My Father & one Uncle were Union carpenters that build modular table & chairs when were kids, also painted in primary colors. My family were all tradesmen, plumbers, carpenters. Can't believe how much the world has changed! Please take care. Aloha!🥰
so happy that you have finally moved in!
I just started watching your videos, I really like them. We also build a house in 2001-2002. It took us from planning to moving in one year. It was the perfect time to build, lumber even went down in price when we bought it. Contractors were very eager to work for us because construction had slowed down. But it was still hard. It would had been very profitable to sell our new house and build another one at the time but my husband said not. He could not go to the stress again. It's been 20 years now. I would love to build again. It's painful and yet so rewarding.
Congratulations on a beautiful job! I hope you all will be very happy there. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you so much!
Glad yall are moved in. Cant wait to see the furniture build.
OMG - You guys did it! So happy for you all, amazing. Looking forward to catching up, last video I saw was a year back. Life's been a tumble these last few years. The house looks great!
Congrats on building your house. I know you are proud of it. Job well done👍
Congratulations and Welcome Home! Beautiful house.
Congratulations!!!!!! So happy u guys are moved in. I have been with u since you were in your old house.
Congratulations! You two have worked so hard to get to where you are. Your home is beautiful.
Yay for moving in!!!! I remember when you moved from the other place, gave up the farming to start from scratch, the minor issues with the well, to starting the home build and watching the whole process. I say take a week or two and try to relax before having a go at it again and enjoy the new home. We are getting ready to start our build in a couple of weeks and I do plan on doing most of the work, we are doing a barndominium home,. I bought most all materials prior and only have a few things to get still. Like you two and I am sure many others, we have been RVing it until we can move in. Single story (cause we are getting older not younger), 12' walls, R-20 under heated slab, R-30 walls, R-70 attic, 1800 square feet 3 bed 2 bath.
Yep been following you folks 3 years. Love the dirt!!!! Great heads up. Finally moved in, yea
Bless you all forever 🙏 ❤️
Haven't watched y'all for a long while. Life takes you on different paths, but WOW, y'all have consistently stuck to your path. Good to see and congratulations!!
I remember when you guys got it. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago. We had life happen several times so I got away from watching. Glad it's done for you and it's home now.
OMG! I feel like a kid at Christmass, I'm so happy. It's like opening the biggest and best gift ever. I've been waiting for this day. All your hard work and effort comes to fruition. You've moved in. I didn't know I could be this happy for basically people who we would call strangers. I've journeyed with you from the move and good golly... it's been five years. What have I been doing?? LOL You built a house a home a community and a life to be proud of. Now keep moving forward because there's no standing still, or you'd be going backwards. Best of all, forever, in your forever home.
I think part of the problem is in rural areas paying someone to build what you want would be prohibitively expensive. Now add $6 gas? No way.
One of the best builds I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing with us. congrats.
I have been watching since before you got goats on your last property. It doesnt seem like that long ago. So much has happened since then. I started watching for the canning and the garden and chickens. And stayed bc I love your lifestyle. No matter what direction you guys have taken with the challenges in front of you, I always learn something. And many of your videos have directly applied to things I need to do in my home. So I thank you for sharing the methods and solutions with me! Congratulations on FINALLY getting to move into your dream home!! I look forward to seeing how you do the finish work, and what the next chapter brings! 🥰
I been with you guys for so long. I often remember the pink hair and fighting with neighbors from old location. I have learned so much. I am finally fixing to begin my homesteading journey, at 53. And disabled. So I have to suppliment most labor with technology or hire assistance. Here in Georgia it's almost impossible finding people wanting to work. But i just don't think i have the skillset to build a whole house. So I'm looking for something already there and just remodeling.
Wow! Wow! WOW!
Happy to hear you’re occupying your home. Finally! Whew!
I’m so pleased for you both! Well done! Congratulations!
This wasn’t an easy build, but you did it- and more- you did such a great job! The house is really special.
I’m looking forward to more videos as the finish work and furniture are built.
Congratulations Again!
It’s lovely to see you both- and I’m happy to see Jamie’s presence in the videos.
That’s one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, congratulations on your beautiful home wow it’s beautiful, Thanks for sharing your journey 👍🇮🇪😀
All I can say is CONGRATULATIONS to your family! Whew what great work😍
Congratulations! I've followed your progress. Your home is beautiful. I know it was super hard, but you can be so proud of what you've accomplished. May your home be filled with lots of laughter, love and Blessings!
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations Jamie and Jeremy!🎉
I've been watching the entire build. There is no substitute for blood sweat and tears when it comes to our passion, desires and need for freedom.
Your forever house is gorgeous!
I'm excited to see your next chapter.
My first video I saw was the bugout bag starring Jamie.
Hi Jamie, so happy for your family. Thanks for taking us along. Continued good fortune moving forward. Bless you all.
I have followed you from the beginning, and I must say you have built a wonderful home and been an inspiration to others.Looking forward to more of the same. Well done and I hope you enjoy your home for many years to come.
🎊 🎉 🥳 Congrats y'all! The house is beautiful. I hope that your family gets to not only celebrate, but relax and take a long needed vacation/staycation and enjoy every bit of it.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I have followed all along & have really enjoyed watching. We bought an old farm house, full 2 story tall. We have totally rebuilt the inside of this house ourselves. We have 2 rooms left to go, one room upstairs & kitchen. Been living in it 22 yrs, plus raising 2 teenagers at the time, all their school activities and us both working full time. It has been a huge challenge but so gratifying that we have done all this ourselves. From wiring, flooring, gutting, insulation, new windows, siding, stripping wood and doors, making our own trim. Congratulations! It's a very beautiful home
Congratulations on finishing and finally moving in. I've been following you guys since about 2017. So happy for the two of you. :)
Congrats on your beautiful home. I’ve been with you guys from the beginning. May God bless your home and family.
I am so proud of you guys! I started watching you when I lived in NJ and I am now in rural Kentucky. Your house is gorgeous and looks so professionally built. Congratulations on your hard work.
Thank you! It’s been a crazy ride but we finally pulled it off! 😳
Bravo 🤗🤗🤗 for getting moved in. We have enjoyed watching the entire process. Now let’s build some furniture.
Back then I didn’t think you would ever get a home built ! You did one heck of a job and built a great home .
It looks so beautiful, guys! We're so happy that you're finally getting to live in your new home! We are in a very similar situation as you were 5 years ago. It's already rough, but we're doing our best. Jeremy, so proud of you, Hon. Jaime, it's wonderful to see you, and I hope we get to see more of you, Sweetie! Love you guys, and can't wait to see what you do next! ~ Barbra
Teary eyed that you finally completed the house. I remember the time when you were just starting like building thè gate to your property and jeremy talking against the background of shrubs and tall grasses. Now you have a beautiful house and all the weariness is forgotten. Congratulations and looking forward to your other plans.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! CONGRATS ON MOVING INTO YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOUSE! YES IM YELLING LOL
Yay!!
I came along with you over the entire journey, I'd just like to thank you for sharing that journey it's been amazing and inspiring.
It's a beautiful place you've created and I'm sure the furniture you create will be similar.
So Thanks to the Guildbrook farm family for the past 3 odd years of this build.
Congratulations! What a dream home that you literally put your blood sweat and tears into. I bet you are so relieved to be over this huge hump and moved in. Wow, what a process.
Congratulations. Followed you from the old house when you were doing canning videos, the to the trailer, to this property. So proud of you 🤗
Blessings and much happiness in your new home.🤗🌞
Ok. Looking forward to a whole house tour. It is so great that you are moved in. I'm sure no one is more happy than you are. But we are so happy for you.
I watched many unforgettable episodes on canning and preserving, etc. while you were still in the build mode. I have been super impressed with your ambition to build your own home, and now that it's complete, it's simply fabulous! Hats off to you both for following through!
Congratulations on moving in!
I hope that finishing this will allow you to have the lifestyle you desire.
I'm looking forward to seeing your furniture projects, maybe you can make a light table for viewing X-rays?
Congratulations!! I’m very happy for you both to finally be in your forever home! Blessings!
Congratulations on your forever home completion and move in!!
I have folllowed your progress since before the move there. Glad to see the hard work payed off. Sweat equity is the way to go.
Looking forward to more content to keep us coming back!!
Bless you and your Family for all the challenges you faced and worked through. Beautiful home 🏡 you hard word is paying off.
Congratulations guys. Been following from the beginning especially when y’all had “the dirt” episode about not being able find builders/contractors. I live about 1 1/2 from you and it is so true. People are HARD to find. It’s crazy. It was totally opposite when we were living in Texas.
The house is looking great. It's nice to see that you finally got to move in.
It is very beautiful. I’m sure it was a lot of work however, it’s done… you’ve finished it and that must come with relief as well as pride and satisfaction all deserved.
I loved following your home build. I’m sure it’s small consolation for the amount of time you spent in the original space, but the videos you produced while solving the problems in that space were so informative! I’m thinking setting up and resolving the solar array. All the spring and water issues. Jeremy’s never-ending source of hillbilly-engineering creativity. You were well seasoned when your build started and started off with more knowledge than many will ever have.
Your best video. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.
Have really enjoyed watching the build (almost all of it!) and really appreciate the frankness of your thoughts on the process. We are about 6-7 years out from building on our property, but currently plan to have it built, and contribute sweat equity where possible -- I'll be in my 60s, and just know I won't have the energy to do everything that you guys did! Thanks for sharing the build!
Such an awesome journey. The house turned out beautiful
Thanks!
So proud of you. Seems like it took forever. Welcome Home! 😊😊
Your home is beautiful, glad you took on the challenge and pushed through. Looking forward to future vlogs showing your furniture build
I had no idea that materials where so hard to source. Glad it’s finally done. It’s beautiful.
Wow, I watched all your videos but I didn't realize it was such a hardship for you. Jeremy always made it seem like a good time. I'm really proud of all you've accomplished. It really is amazing. Beautiful home.
Yes! It has been a long journey, guys! Congratulations on finally moving in! Cheers 🍻
I started following because you guys had great gardening, self sufficiency and food preserving content. Why I'm still here IDK. But what you've guys done is incredible.
Same !😆
Congratulations on moving in! You guys have always been entertaining to watch. Thanks!
Is it 3yrs already???......been watching since the first days of your move....turned out to be a beautiful house.... congratulations...hope you build beautiful memories in there also.... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲
I’ve been watching since the before your move and I’m constantly amazed at the quality of your work and the talents that you have picked up along the way. Your home is beautiful and I look forward to seeing your projects as you continue to improve your homestead.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am bursting in happiness for you, for yours, for all God has next for you! Well done good and faithful, well done! 💜🙏
Thanks for all your sharing. 😃
We are building our house by ourselves too. It's a tough process for sure and we might be 10 years older than you guys, in our mid-sixties. We are now trying to get our concrete siding on ourselves.
now I understand the reason for carrying your gun all the time, being alone, if you get hurt, best way to alert others, sorry for my early comments in the past, always followed you all these years, as always, all the very best to you all from Australia
