Me thinks the Sheriff is a “Mama’s Boy!” He is so cute, sweet, and has quick wit! I think he has a way with words, like his Mama. Melissa, has he done any freestyle writing (like storybooks) during his homeschool?
Melissa, you really should write a book with these beautiful end notes you make. You hit the nail on the head every time, It would be a helpful reminder everyday to have the wisdom you share with us as you guys continue your journey.
I just love you both! What a beautiful journey that you will look back at. The ups and downs, the set backs and triumphs! It’s all good! #TEAMELISSA but love you too Jeremy! You are the Leader of this beautiful family. ❤️🙏🏼
Brian should be damn happy! After leaving her on the prom dancefloor...just the mischievous gleam in her eye and the innocent waif look on her face, she'd have eaten him alive. Even now, I'll bet he cringes...
Team Melissa! Don’t forget to write blessings on the dry wall in all the rooms before you paint! Nice job! Thanks for the comparison tip at the end. Very helpful!
I’m a night nurse. The last two years… really burnt out these days. I need some wholesome sanity. You both provide every video! Beautiful family. Beautiful country. Just like a little vacation that keeps me going. Thanks!
Our daughter-in-law is a respiratory therapist and she looked exhausted. Wouldn’t go home, but caught a few hrs, sleep when ever she could. Thank you for everything.
You may see other houses going up quickly, but they aren't being built with care and as meticulous as yours. I think you have accomplished so much! It looks phenomenal!
When you say you see those other houses popping up so fast, they have a crew doing theirs and you can say when you get done, "We did that." You both amaze me in your building and the progress. Glad to see both horses running too.
I backed up the video and played it again. When you were both ask us to vote for team Jeremy or team Melissa. I said to myself, I going to vote for team GSL! Because I would never want to split you up!! Your whole family is involved, and I absolutely love it!!! Keep up the great work!!
When your only competition is yourself you never grow bitter, you only grow better than the person that you were before you started. Another one to share with my family, thank you 🇬🇧👍☺️
Therma Care Heat Wrap is my husband’s “go to” for back pain and he has (finally) started remembering to wear a back brace when he is working on a project.
Jeremy, Im a Firefighter and have struggled with low back pain as well. One thing thats helped me has been KT tape. You can buy it at most grocery stores/walgreens/rite aid. Theres plenty of videos online on how to tape for different types of issues. Give it a try! 20 bucks for a roll of tape, and its honestly saved me from so much grief of having to tip toe around back issues on those days when things feel a bit off.
Jeremy, I've been dealing with lower back pain after breaking my back. One of my go-to's is a portable TENS unit, it might be worth it for you to look into one.
@@micpern872 - I already have a TENS unit, and have been utilizing it. And have been working on the exercises for my core, though sometimes it's hard with my work schedule.
Really, You R young Jeremy & IF it's ONLY Back Strain then there are 4 Natural Healing Hacks which will WORK in Days or a few Weeks: 1_ Pure Water Hydration 2_ YOGA ( Breathe ) 3_ SLEEP 4_ NUTRITION A = B-Complex , Cal-Mag-Zinc, Flax or Chia OIL + Sardines ( Heal + Build Muscle, Nerve + connective tissue) B = Vit D3 / K, MSM, ZINC, Vit C / Bioflavanoids, Elderberry, Chaga Mushroom, Miso, Onion, Burdock Root, Ginger + Lemon or Cranberry ! (Covid Treatment) 5_ LOVE, JOY & P E A C E (WithIN) YOU 2 R ONE Amazingly Strong + Intelligent TEAM ❤ More Power to You & BLESSINGS ALWAYS 🏵💃🎊🎊🎊😎🐦
Jeremy, I also have a really bad back. Have you tried Diclofenac gel? You can get it over the counter now at Walmart or the pharmacy. It used to be prescription. Also, have you ever tried a TENS unit? You can get them online starting around $35, also a stretchy type back brace really helps provide support. Hope this helps. Love y'all's family and all y'all do.
You are right about the Voltarin gel but my chiropractor says it's only for joints; but everytime I use it for my back & neck, it takes the pain away. I also use the Salon paas (icy hot) pads & the tens unit which really helps. I paid $110 for mine from a medical supply store (guess I got ripped off huh?). Oh well I really needed it & it serves me well. I am thankful to have the pain eased.
I loved that the sheriff's boots were on the wrong feet, Sooo cute. I also love the dynamics between the two of you, It's a pleasure to watch. 🏴❤
You have no idea how much we look forward to your updates I so love the family team work the comedy you make it so fun. Thank you for sharing your build.
You two have done a remarkable job on building your home. I do believe I would have installed my wood burning stove right off. I raised a family on wood heat only, nothing like it. Malissa won dude, wife’s always win!!! Thankyou for taking us along on your videos. Had the same problem with washer, they couldn’t find the washer so they reorder the washer, three weeks later got two washers, they said keep both, they already wrote off the fist already. Remember, your home was also popped up. By the time my children grew up left home we found ourselves in the middle of a sub division we lived eight miles out of town. God bless you both and your children. Look forward to your next video.
I’m team Melissa all the way. I’ve been through a house build with just my husband and I. It’s hard! Seriously, your home is looking amazing and you’re both doing great. Warmer weather will help a lot when you don’t have to fight the cold and snow.
I’m Team Melissa, but I can relate to Jeremy’s back problems. Take the time to take care of yourself too. I know it can be hard to do in the moment, but your back will thank you!
This may sound crazy……however, Jermey’s back pain has a lot to do with him being Quad dependent. You can see it when he is standing still. If he would do hamstring stretches and then focus on strengthening his hamstrings, he would get a lot of relief!
Melissa, I watch Bob & Brad, 'The most famous Therapists on RUclips', so hope you can find the videos they do specifically to help Jeremy's tight leg muscles to lengthen by stretching them after a mild warm-up first, otherwise a muscle tear could occur giving 'insult to injury' (sorry, I had to do that). They also have good stretches for back pain too. I do planks, which increase core strength, but only do half-way using bent knees, not full- straight-to-toes & rest on forearms, & not using straight arms as in a push-up at full push-up, & not nearly do I do these often enough. So I want to encourage you to do them when you get up out of bed in the a.m. & when you & Melissa get into the house being built prior getting the build started each day. A good warm-up followed by stretches will keep you well & reduce risks of injuries for you both, & you can do them together, mirroring each other. Epsom Salts is necessary to relax those muscles too for both of you. If no tub yet, get a large bucket & add about 2 cups of regular Epsom salts to it in the hottest water you can comfortably handle & stick your feet in there for about 20 minutes. Hope you feel the difference that a Epsom salt magnesium soak makes very soon. I hurt my back in 1980, have been to chiropractors since then & could not continue my job without my wonderful chiropractor of 20 years keeping me rolling along, since 2002. Hard to believe it has been that long bus driving (sorry, can not tell you where, too political). I want to introduce him to my Grandfather who was a chiropractor but whom I never met as he died just before I was born. So I told my chiropractor I would introduce him to my Grandfather when we all meet in heaven, as both went to the same school. Bless you both. Take care. Your home looks wonderful. I enjoyed each time I helped drywall, carry drywall, mudded it, sanded it & painted it with my Dad & each thing we constructed together. Well I even enjoyed some deconstruction (solo) after I put my foot down & went to the garage for the crowbar to 'remodel' & remove all the critters (bugs with more legs than I, or so I told Dad...no more critters will be bathing with me!) Poor Dad, he had a determined daughter...LOL...who frantically asked what are we going to put there....I just said we are going shopping. It needed to be done, since it was an unfinished basement that needed, well, an upgrade....& well, I was determined. He was always a fabulous Mr Fix-it. Fond memories of working side-by-side, with & for him & the family. Stay well.
@@kathleenkrein6464 He need adhesive strapping under this type of pressure. I have shocking back pain and strapping is amazing, it holds everything in place ..It stretches and supports.
It’s not a race, therefore you’re never losing! Reflecting on the past years progress I’m just extremely impressed. The journey is so much more important than the goal.
Team Jeremy needs an inversion table, or a decompression table, seriously for his back. I've used an inversion table for about 15 years now, at 6'5" 270 lbs, working day and night got to me. Seemed my back tweeked at almost anything until I started inversion. Works wonders, definitely worth looking into in my opinion. Love ya'll ❤️, house is looking like a home...
Yes! I love my inversion table. Sometimes just the smallest slant can realign my back perfectly, I don't have to hang upside down completely anymore. Just get on my table and lean back a little and breathe.
Fast built houses don't have the blood sweet and tears in them, that make it your home. I built my home for the foundation to the ridge cap. Team Good Simple Living, the kids and the dog are part of the team.
So excited to see your build coming together! If I were 20 years younger I’d venture down this path! You guys have done such exciting things so far and the pride in your accomplishments should never be dampened, I’m so impressed
What an awesome quote to live by, especially in the age of social media and seeing what others look like, what they are doing, etc. Love it so thank you 🙏 ”Comparison is the thief of joy and each of us must run our own race”
Melissa, I always wait for your comments at the end of each video. So straight and so correct. I love that part of the video so much and leave it as food for thought until the next time you share. The build is coming along so nicely. And no reason ever to compare as you have not only built one but two living abode's now......now to finish this one. From trailer, to mini house, to the big house..........life, children, teacher, illness and all of life plus the horses.........I'd say you are way ahead of schedule (not to mention the garden and fencing you've put in).........yes I'd say you are way ahead of any comparison thoughts that we all are guilty of. March on you two, you are rocking and rolling it! Now let's talk about the snack time breaks!!!!!!! Really??? ROFLOL ROFLOL.........love you guys! Take good care! God bless!!!!
Team Melissa! Write affirmations on tge drywall before you paint! What you want this home to provide, more than just shelter obviously. Lol Go crazy writing the affirmations with the kids! It's so much fun!
Looking good! Eli is so cute, and he has a great imagination such a breath of fresh air. Jeremy take care of your back! Oh, and apologize to Melissa that dropped drywall was all you. Go Team Melissa!!!
That little devilish look or the look of enjoyment that Melissa gives when she puts them patches on are priceless! Everybody that I know that's gotten to new the appliances especially washers and dryers. Have been having troubles with them and then not having the parts to fix them! Y'all stay safe!
Jeremy, as you lifted those huge lengths of drywall my own back hurt for you, and I don’t even have back problems! Melissa, you say you haven’t been much help, not so! You work like a trooper, and you provide a lot of support and levity that makes the job easier. Love the way you two work together. Btw Team Melissa!
Great job guys - it looks awesome - I still to this day wear my liberderm patches for my back 33 years- I have had 3 back surgeries- it is a lot better - but the patches takes the pressure off the back - I really feel for you Jeremy !!! And I worry about you Melissa - lifting all those heavy Sheetrock panels- you2 take care of each other - stay well !!! Love ya more
It’s so awesome seeing your progress, it’s exciting! The view you have is amazing. The sheet rock really brightens up the inside. I love watching you, and all your pets.
I LOVE your words of wisdom phrase. "Comparison is the 'THIEF' of Joy". That's a powerful phrase to take into this season of Lent. Instead of giving up something(s), let's try to make ourselves better peoples. Love it! God bless you all. We just love your family.🙏💖👍
I'm 78 and I look at Jeremy as being like the son I always wanted and I have been concerned for both of you because I've not seen safety belts on your back for lifting!! Perhaps they're hidden under your coat but they would really help tremendously to protect your back! Watching you bring such joy to my life and I appreciate it so much
Melissa, Jeremy, you finish when you finish! What is awesome, it’s been now already 2 years that I’m sub’s and you keep moving forward, in your pace, in your satisfaction of the achieved and the great anticipation of the goals you set! Once you’re done with this project, the next comes! Erm speaking of which, your pump house is missing siding “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” Thank you for the privilege to let us take part in your life!
Team Melissa!!😂🤣 Sure was one good looking Sheriff 🥰 The house is really coming along. I got to watch my home being built from the ground up and drywall does bring it all together ❤️💙❤️💙
Been watching a long time, I remember when you got there and Melissa's face when you walked into shed ... look how far you both have come so far, what a beautiful life x
When you are finished, you will be able to look at this home and know that love was poured into the building and that YOU are the one who accomplished this.
Keep in mind when you see all those houses go up so fast, there are more than 2 people working on them. They have a crew of people doing everything all at once. What y'all have accomplished in a year with your pole barn and little home inside of it and your home home that is almost finished in just a year is phenomenal! Remember that when you feel discouraged.
What a couple! I adore the way you care and love each other... its so nice to see your working together in Harmoney (aw, I'm sure there are days where things are not smooth... who doesn't have those) Melissa is amazing, highly intelligent and a little bitty lady whose a tough worker and a great example to other women that "YOU CAN DO IT" ... I really like the interaction between Jeremy and Melissa they are genuinely a happy couple who take each day in stride.. and four beautiful children. I thought it was fantastic that in one of the home school boxes they included both religion and science, something my kids had to make a choice to take one or the other in Alaska. Much to my relief they both chose faith and the belief that a higher power created the heavens and stars., and us! What beautiful land and you've spent so much dedicated time to build the home for the children to always be a part of and their future families. I enjoy watching your video's because they are real and very positive and show what can be accomplished if you set your minds to accomplish and walk in faith hand in hand to build your dream home from the ground up in faith. Quite a testimony! Please forgive any typo's as I have vision issues, and to correct anything is ridiculous if I even find it. Usually like now I couldn't find my typo. thanks for your patients. Gael. .
Jeremy, as I watch you doing the drywall, etc., I am praying for your back to heal!! I feel your pain, I know your pain from my mucked up spine🤪. Please take a break as soon as you can and just stay in the bed for a week and do nothing! If that does not help, you need to see what is really going on with your back…a MRI will do that. If you can prevent your back blowing out, do it🙏🏻🙏🏻. It looks GREAT in there!! You two are awesome! Team Melissa!! He did jiggle it after saying it was ok🤣
When end cutting drywall, use your razor knife against your T square. Skip the step of drawing a pencil line and then trying to free hand follow that line. Faster and more accurate. You two are awesome and doing a great job, thanks for the videos
Best tip I got from old timers in the ship yard for working in winter with back pain . Use hot packs instead of patches. Kept in place with bandage wrap and a back brace. Changed my life forever!😙👍
You and Jeremy are running a fine race, no winners, no losers, just an amazing job. Keep it up and before you know it you will be celebrating Christmas in your new home. 😊
Looks seamless and it's a vote for team Melissa. You'll have room for Jeremy's spine stretching inversion table by the time it's done in that big gymnasium. glad you're putting in a big vent for the propane stove. New studies show lingering propane fumes are worse than previously thought.
Amazing how far you've come! I remember just having the property and working on the tiny home then the garden. What a fabulous journey and I thank you for letting us be a part of it❤
Absolutely love watching! Melissa gives such a wonderful peaceful commentary to close out the day. Great job working together, such good lessons your teaching the kids!! Oh, just saw all the drywall dust on the heater…Please do not forget to open the door in back and clean the filter…air flow keeps from blowing the infrared light ❤️
Great work! It isn't a competition so I'm not voting one way or the other! You each have strengths and weaknesses. The success of the team is combining them well!
I vote team Souza :))…your new sheriff in town is SO adorable.When we built our home back in the 80’s we wrote our names,date and age on a stud and also let our then 2 yo daughter put her hand prints on subfloor before covering it with tile and hardwood.Have a great week and see ya next video.Cheers from Southern WV
Those lidocaine patches are soo cold 🥶 lol I feel you Jeremy everything looking amazing seeing this done is unbelievable I like the new sheriff he is adorable God Bless you guys always
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you two work together. When my mom and dad were alive, they remodeled and did most of the work together. Fond memories. Blessings and prayers 🙏🏼 Jeremy feel better. The cold has been messing with my arthritis too.
I normally don't take teams but Melissa called it this time. I was screaming at our TV and my ol man just yells crash and it falls lol. Love all of yall. Thank you for all the entertainment all the time!!!
Great job, y'all! I'm so excited to see it all coming together. Before you know it you'll be onto the finishes and wonder how you were able to get there in relatively short time you've done it. When that time comes remember that y'all did it because you're hard workers and dedicated to your family. Love y'all!
You two are a great team! So damned proud of you both for going down this path! Second winter or not spring is around the corner! Dry wall looks great!!
Looks amazing!!! Have heard about the appliance wait time nightmares. Same with furniture as well. We don’t realize how good we have it until we don’t have access to the every day needs we use. Regardless we get through it. You 2 are amazing and so hard working. You are almost there. You climbed and are almost at the top. Has to be the greatest feeling ever!! God bless you both and your beautiful family!! Sending 💕
Team Melissa you little Rascal! God bless you. Regarding Jeremy: A lot of very loving and smart friends/viewers on the feed who recommend "Massage" Therapy, Decompression Exercise/Tables, stretch and Yoga, and the healing advantages of the Laying on of Hands and Heat Rubbing herbal concoctions. Then there is the anticipation of that Hot Tub that will come in handy for both of you to use for healing soaks- they are very easy to maintain as long as you don't wear clothing (due to detergents). That Hot tub should be for Momma and Dad only!
You are both so funny, work together so well and have a great family. Jeremy take care of that back, I injured mine in my 30’s and have suffered since. Surgery didn’t fix the problem, so please be careful, your whole family needs you. Remember some day you will be old ( God willing ) and your back may be a real problem then
Ya know Jeremy, normally I would have to side with the guy, (just because LOL), but since I went back and watched the "incident" again, I feel I have to say you and Brian were both wrong. In other words, that 5' 9", 50 year old wife definitely was correct. My vote goes to Team Melissa. 😊 And wait... it will be a year?? WOW, time sure does fly. I would have never guessed. You all have done an amazing job, but those cold temps are for the younger folk, or maybe just those built sturdier. That shot at the 11:49 mark reminded me of something my Dad once said about the mountain he lived on, "There are only 2 seasons here, the fourth of July and Winter." 😄 Keep up the great work!!
Team Melissa ! ! Jeremy definitely said " Keep going."
When the Sheriff said "Snacks" I almost lost it! That kid is so stinkin' cute!!! Love to see that you are one step closer to your goal
I laughed when he said “he did” when asked if the Inspector called the sheriff. Meme quality!
Me thinks the Sheriff is a “Mama’s Boy!” He is so cute, sweet, and has quick wit! I think he has a way with words, like his Mama. Melissa, has he done any freestyle writing (like storybooks) during his homeschool?
He's so cute with snacks n his little head tilt. So cute!
Melissa, you really should write a book with these beautiful end notes you make. You hit the nail on the head every time, It would be a helpful reminder everyday to have the wisdom you share with us as you guys continue your journey.
I just love you both! What a beautiful journey that you will look back at. The ups and downs, the set backs and triumphs! It’s all good! #TEAMELISSA but love you too Jeremy! You are the Leader of this beautiful family. ❤️🙏🏼
The music choices are excellent as well
I‘d totally buy that book! 😍
You folks deserve a TV series. With Melissa’s commentary at the end, such wholesome content. Thank you. The walls look great! Praying for you folks!
No TV. TV bad. This is original.
I hate it lol when i hear Melissa's commentary because the video is almost over ;)
Just like 1883 tv show does
You need a slabway chair for your back it’s an investment but sure beats hurting all the time
I just said that. Chop and Joanna Gaines ain’t got nothing on this family.
Team Melissa. Love the looks she gives us when she puts the pad on Jeremy's back also.
That look is hilarious 😂
Team JER-LISA😁
Love u both!! U guys jus make me LOL wen I watch ur vids! Blessings on ur back braddah jerm🙏🏽 ALOHA OHANA 💙🤙🏽
Melissa’s glitter in her eye when she puts the pads on Jeremy is priceless. Love watching your build. ❤️
I saw that too 😁
MEN … they’re so dramatic … 🤣
16:39 What a mischevious smile. :)
Brian should be damn happy! After leaving her on the prom dancefloor...just the mischievous gleam in her eye and the innocent waif look on her face, she'd have eaten him alive. Even now, I'll bet he cringes...
@@bille294 if you can’t say anything nice keep your messages to your self. Your not a real prize.
Team Melissa! Don’t forget to write blessings on the dry wall in all the rooms before you paint! Nice job! Thanks for the comparison tip at the end. Very helpful!
THAT LOOK YOU GIVE AS HE WRITHES AWAY WITH THAT LIQUID ICE SHEET ON HIS BACK! I’m a nurse, and watched that SEVERAL times!
I’m a night nurse. The last two years… really burnt out these days. I need some wholesome sanity. You both provide every video! Beautiful family. Beautiful country. Just like a little vacation that keeps me going. Thanks!
❤️
May God's blessings be upon you Jody and all other warrior nurses out there.
Our daughter-in-law is a respiratory therapist and she looked exhausted. Wouldn’t go home, but caught a few hrs, sleep when ever she could. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for what you do!! You are appreciated!
You may see other houses going up quickly, but they aren't being built with care and as meticulous as yours. I think you have accomplished so much! It looks phenomenal!
AMEN!
And probably not built with the amount of love Jeremy and Melissa are putting into theirs.

They have a fifty fifty chance of getting them on the right feet so why is it that ninety percent of the time they get it wrong…..lol!
Love the “Snack “Sheriff”! I almost choked on my soda! He is the cutest kid on RUclips!
I think so too ❤️
You have no idea how much we look forward to your updates I so love the family team work the comedy you make it so fun. Thank you for sharing your build.
When Jeremy gets tired (of the pain) he gets a little giddy and his humor is really fun. Keep up the funniness and take care of that back Jeremy.
Have you tried just the Thermacare heat patches instead of Icy Hot patches? They have always helped me and no ARGH when you put them on!
A bad back is no joke!

I enjoyed each time I helped drywall, carry drywall, mudded it, sanded it & painted it with my Dad & each thing we constructed together. Well I even enjoyed some deconstruction (solo) after I put my foot down & went to the garage for the crowbar to 'remodel' & remove all the critters (bugs with more legs than I, or so I told Dad...no more critters will be bathing with
me!) Poor Dad, he had a determined daughter...LOL...who frantically asked what are we going to put there....I just said we are going shopping. It needed to be done, since it was an unfinished basement that needed, well, an upgrade....& well, I was determined.
He was always a fabulous Mr Fix-it.
Fond memories of working side-by-side, with & for him & the family. Stay well.
@@kathleenkrein6464 He need adhesive strapping under this type of pressure. I have shocking back pain and strapping is amazing, it holds everything in place ..It stretches and supports.
I love that you decided to do the loft, looking out those windows in a comfy beanbag will be heavenly. You two work so good together.
It’s not a race, therefore you’re never losing! Reflecting on the past years progress I’m just extremely impressed. The journey is so much more important than the goal.
Team Jeremy needs an inversion table, or a decompression table, seriously for his back. I've used an inversion table for about 15 years now, at 6'5" 270 lbs, working day and night got to me. Seemed my back tweeked at almost anything until I started inversion. Works wonders, definitely worth looking into in my opinion. Love ya'll ❤️, house is looking like a home...
I use one as well and it has worked wonders.
@@lorihumphry6379 inversion or decompression? Jw
Yes! I love my inversion table. Sometimes just the smallest slant can realign my back perfectly, I don't have to hang upside down completely anymore. Just get on my table and lean back a little and breathe.
Fast built houses don't have the blood sweet and tears in them, that make it your home. I built my home for the foundation to the ridge cap.
Team Good Simple Living, the kids and the dog are part of the team.
Team Melissa. Amo seus vídeos, assisto de uma pequena cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
Aê Brasil ❤️
Sou de São Paulo :)
The look on Melissa's face after she puts on the patch... priceless.
Team Melissa for sure. The right side hanger thingy caught on something and Jeremy giggled it all right… then craaaash.
BUT… everything you did looks great!
Team Melissa all the way!!!! You guys are amazing. Thank you for being informative and giving my husband and I an escape.
So excited to see your build coming together! If I were 20 years younger I’d venture down this path! You guys have done such exciting things so far and the pride in your accomplishments should never be dampened, I’m so impressed
Team Melissa
What an awesome quote to live by, especially in the age of social media and seeing what others look like, what they are doing, etc. Love it so thank you 🙏
”Comparison is the thief of joy and each of us must run our own race”
TEAM MELISSA !! We saw what happened. :) You go Girl! The house is looking absolutely great. Well done! Love you all lots and lots. xxx
Hahaha yes we did
Melissa, I always wait for your comments at the end of each video. So straight and so correct. I love that part of the video so much and leave it as food for thought until the next time you share.
The build is coming along so nicely. And no reason ever to compare as you have not only built one but two living abode's now......now to finish this one. From trailer, to mini house, to the big house..........life, children, teacher, illness and all of life plus the horses.........I'd say you are way ahead of schedule (not to mention the garden and fencing you've put in).........yes I'd say you are way ahead of any comparison thoughts that we all are guilty of. March on you two, you are rocking and rolling it! Now let's talk about the snack time breaks!!!!!!! Really??? ROFLOL ROFLOL.........love you guys! Take good care!
God bless!!!!
Make a book of quotes: Thoughts on building a life..
Team Melissa! Write affirmations on tge drywall before you paint! What you want this home to provide, more than just shelter obviously. Lol Go crazy writing the affirmations with the kids! It's so much fun!
"We must remember that is not our path." I love that, and TEAM SOUZA! May Jeremy's back be healed.
Looking good! Eli is so cute, and he has a great imagination such a breath of fresh air. Jeremy take care of your back! Oh, and apologize to Melissa that dropped drywall was all you. Go Team Melissa!!!
Melissa your Quotes at the end of the video show the mind of a very wise young Lady. You got an Ace Mister J.
That little devilish look or the look of enjoyment that Melissa gives when she puts them patches on are priceless! Everybody that I know that's gotten to new the appliances especially washers and dryers. Have been having troubles with them and then not having the parts to fix them! Y'all stay safe!
@Neon c WE HAVE LG WASHER AND DRYER WE GOT THEM BRAND NEW ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO SO FAR SO GOOD. GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🌻🌻✨✨✨✨💜💜💜🌈🌈
Team Melissa. Great couple. Love watching this, your both doing a fantastic job ofvthe build.
You 2 have acquired SO many skills the past 2 years. You're amazing ❣❣❣
Jeremy, as you lifted those huge lengths of drywall my own back hurt for you, and I don’t even have back problems! Melissa, you say you haven’t been much help, not so! You work like a trooper, and you provide a lot of support and levity that makes the job easier. Love the way you two work together.
Btw Team Melissa!
Great job guys - it looks awesome - I still to this day wear my liberderm patches for my back 33 years- I have had 3 back surgeries- it is a lot better - but the patches takes the pressure off the back - I really feel for you Jeremy !!! And I worry about you Melissa - lifting all those heavy Sheetrock panels- you2 take care of each other - stay well !!! Love ya more
❤️
My father lives at spirit lake so seeing y'all makes me miss his place and him thanks for having a journey that brings joy y'all
It’s so awesome seeing your progress, it’s exciting! The view you have is amazing. The sheet rock really brightens up the inside. I love watching you, and all your pets.
fantastic team work- team Mellissa and Jeremy; you two are the sweetest. love your family - so full of love. bless.xxxx
I LOVE your words of wisdom phrase. "Comparison is the 'THIEF' of Joy".
That's a powerful phrase to take into this season of Lent. Instead of giving up something(s), let's try to make ourselves better peoples. Love it! God bless you all. We just love your family.🙏💖👍
I'm 78 and I look at Jeremy as being like the son I always wanted and I have been concerned for both of you because I've not seen safety belts on your back for lifting!! Perhaps they're hidden under your coat but they would really help tremendously to protect your back! Watching you bring such joy to my life and I appreciate it so much
How did you ever make it to 78 without a safety belt?
Melissa, Jeremy, you finish when you finish! What is awesome, it’s been now already 2 years that I’m sub’s and you keep moving forward, in your pace, in your satisfaction of the achieved and the great anticipation of the goals you set! Once you’re done with this project, the next comes! Erm speaking of which, your pump house is missing siding “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” Thank you for the privilege to let us take part in your life!
team Melissa
Team Melissa. Love watching how you work together.
Team Melissa!!😂🤣 Sure was one good looking Sheriff 🥰 The house is really coming along. I got to watch my home being built from the ground up and drywall does bring it all together ❤️💙❤️💙
Been watching a long time, I remember when you got there and Melissa's face when you walked into shed ... look how far you both have come so far, what a beautiful life x
Yes loved the Sheriff and his Snacks. Funny. The place is really coming together. I love watching your vids.
When you are finished, you will be able to look at this home and know that love was poured into the building and that YOU are the one who accomplished this.
Jeremy, say it with me. Melissa, is right. She's always right and she always will be right. Keys to a happy marriage!
Even when Melissa is wrong she is right!
@@dougjohnson5385 that's exactly what I'm saying 👏 👏👏
The saying to this is!
Happy wife, is a happy life 🤷♀️❣️❣️
Your house is quickly becoming a Home. Looking good folks.
Always excited when I see you one of your videos come up!
Aww thank you 😊
Keep in mind when you see all those houses go up so fast, there are more than 2 people working on them. They have a crew of people doing everything all at once. What y'all have accomplished in a year with your pole barn and little home inside of it and your home home that is almost finished in just a year is phenomenal! Remember that when you feel discouraged.
Team Melissa/ You guys actually make a wonderful team!!
What a couple! I adore the way you care and love each other... its so nice to see your working together in Harmoney (aw, I'm sure there are days where things are not smooth... who doesn't have those) Melissa is amazing, highly intelligent and a little bitty lady whose a tough worker and a great example to other women that "YOU CAN DO IT" ... I really like the interaction between Jeremy and Melissa they are genuinely a happy couple who take each day in stride.. and four beautiful children. I thought it was fantastic that in one of the home school boxes they included both religion and science, something my kids had to make a choice to take one or the other in Alaska. Much to my relief they both chose faith and the belief that a higher power created the heavens and stars., and us! What beautiful land and you've spent so much dedicated time to build the home for the children to always be a part of and their future families. I enjoy watching your video's because they are real and very positive and show what can be accomplished if you set your minds to accomplish and walk in faith hand in hand to build your dream home from the ground up in faith. Quite a testimony! Please forgive any typo's as I have vision issues, and to correct anything is ridiculous if I even find it. Usually like now I couldn't find my typo. thanks for your patients. Gael. .
It's looking AMAZING. Love the catch up's and Melisa's commentary, Take it easy on your back Jeremy. Stay safe
God is there for you and your family
Jeremy, as I watch you doing the drywall, etc., I am praying for your back to heal!! I feel your pain, I know your pain from my mucked up spine🤪. Please take a break as soon as you can and just stay in the bed for a week and do nothing! If that does not help, you need to see what is really going on with your back…a MRI will do that. If you can prevent your back blowing out, do it🙏🏻🙏🏻. It looks GREAT in there!! You two are awesome! Team Melissa!! He did jiggle it after saying it was ok🤣
When end cutting drywall, use your razor knife against your T square. Skip the step of drawing a pencil line and then trying to free hand follow that line.
Faster and more accurate.
You two are awesome and doing a great job, thanks for the videos
Best tip I got from old timers in the ship yard for working in winter with back pain . Use hot packs instead of patches. Kept in place with bandage wrap and a back brace. Changed my life forever!😙👍
You and Jeremy are running a fine race, no winners, no losers, just an amazing job. Keep it up and before you know it you will be celebrating Christmas in your new home. 😊
Looks seamless and it's a vote for team Melissa. You'll have room for Jeremy's spine stretching inversion table by the time it's done in that big gymnasium. glad you're putting in a big vent for the propane stove. New studies show lingering propane fumes are worse than previously thought.
Your Great Room is looking GRAND!!
Amazing how far you've come! I remember just having the property and working on the tiny home then the garden. What a fabulous journey and I thank you for letting us be a part of it❤
Absolutely love watching! Melissa gives such a wonderful peaceful commentary to close out the day. Great job working together, such good lessons your teaching the kids!! Oh, just saw all the drywall dust on the heater…Please do not forget to open the door in back and clean the filter…air flow keeps from blowing the infrared light ❤️
Great work!
It isn't a competition so I'm not voting one way or the other! You each have strengths and weaknesses. The success of the team is combining them well!
I’m with Jeremy! Those patches work but sometimes the pain of them going on might just not be worth it! Hope he feels better soon!
I vote team Souza :))…your new sheriff in town is SO adorable.When we built our home back in the 80’s we wrote our names,date and age on a stud and also let our then 2 yo daughter put her hand prints on subfloor before covering it with tile and hardwood.Have a great week and see ya next video.Cheers from Southern WV
Team Melissa on this one. I had to rewind it 3 times to make sure !! Also, Your sheriff charges a snack toll !!? He’s brutal man !
Awesome. The great room looks big again! Impressive work!👍
Yay!! Thank you
Those lidocaine patches are soo cold 🥶 lol I feel you Jeremy everything looking amazing seeing this done is unbelievable I like the new sheriff he is adorable God Bless you guys always
You both doing an amazing job!! 🙏"S for Jeramy's back. Hope I spelt it correctly. And blessings on your new home.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you two work together. When my mom and dad were alive, they remodeled and did most of the work together. Fond memories. Blessings and prayers 🙏🏼 Jeremy feel better. The cold has been messing with my arthritis too.
Love watching y'alls diligence and perseverance in getting the house to completion. Jeremy, you are so hilarious!! 🤣
I normally don't take teams but Melissa called it this time. I was screaming at our TV and my ol man just yells crash and it falls lol. Love all of yall. Thank you for all the entertainment all the time!!!
Great job, y'all! I'm so excited to see it all coming together. Before you know it you'll be onto the finishes and wonder how you were able to get there in relatively short time you've done it. When that time comes remember that y'all did it because you're hard workers and dedicated to your family. Love y'all!
Well said Paulla Wells 👍
@@maryranch5329 - Thank you, sweetie! ❤️
You two are a great team! So damned proud of you both for going down this path! Second winter or not spring is around the corner! Dry wall looks great!!
Team Melissa, he totally said it was fine LOL, you guys rock
Team Melissa all the way! :)
Looks amazing!!!
Have heard about the appliance wait time nightmares. Same with furniture as well. We don’t realize how good we have it until we don’t have access to the every day needs we use. Regardless we get through it. You 2 are amazing and so hard working. You are almost there. You climbed and are almost at the top. Has to be the greatest feeling ever!! God bless you both and your beautiful family!! Sending 💕
Team Melissa you little Rascal! God bless you. Regarding Jeremy: A lot of very loving and smart friends/viewers on the feed who recommend "Massage" Therapy, Decompression Exercise/Tables, stretch and Yoga, and the healing advantages of the Laying on of Hands and Heat Rubbing herbal concoctions. Then there is the anticipation of that Hot Tub that will come in handy for both of you to use for healing soaks- they are very easy to maintain as long as you don't wear clothing (due to detergents). That Hot tub should be for Momma and Dad only!
You are both so funny, work together so well and have a great family. Jeremy take care of that back, I injured mine in my 30’s and have suffered since. Surgery didn’t fix the problem, so please be careful, your whole family needs you. Remember some day you will be old ( God willing ) and your back may be a real problem then
Yessss! What he said!
Things are looking so awesome, Hope Jeremy’s back held up because the end result is worth the wait to see it 🙏🏻🇺🇸🌹👍🏻
Team Jeremy and Melissa. Looks great.
Ya know Jeremy, normally I would have to side with the guy, (just because LOL), but since I went back and watched the "incident" again, I feel I have to say you and Brian were both wrong. In other words, that 5' 9", 50 year old wife definitely was correct. My vote goes to Team Melissa. 😊 And wait... it will be a year?? WOW, time sure does fly. I would have never guessed. You all have done an amazing job, but those cold temps are for the younger folk, or maybe just those built sturdier. That shot at the 11:49 mark reminded me of something my Dad once said about the mountain he lived on, "There are only 2 seasons here, the fourth of July and Winter." 😄 Keep up the great work!!
Ut Ole...Melissa is going to get you...She is NOT the big 50!!!! I know....you were just kidding...
