Our church bought a 8 room apartment ! They have low rent! The money they make off the rent they pay bills, then give so much to people in need! It is such a blessing all the way around!
So, a detached 4 plex, great idea!! I think they are a wonderful solution to housing. Not everyone needs a big house, they just want a simple basic small cottage house.
Olivia Beeppp. I guess the tourch has been passed from Big Brother to little Sister ❤ Somers don't stop with you tube. You are a ray of Light in these dark times. Love you all from NY ❤
Lived that too!!❤❤❤😊
Best wishes with your home building they sound so nice
You both are such wonderful people blessing others
Isn't she just precious 😊 💗
The REAL HEROS in life are people like you....God Bless.❤
Totally agree!!!!
💯 percent agree ❤
I would do a pocket door from the mater bedroom to the laundry room. That way you don’t lose walls. But then they won’t have to walk all the way around from the bedroom to do laundry…looks fun!
I remember when you guys did 3 videos a week. One a week is better than none. I like watching your vlogs.
You should make a cookbook. How to make easy recipes for busy days. And others when you have more time. It looks so delicious what you prepare
Put a pocket door in the kitchen leading into the laundry room, do stackable to save space and then you can add cabinets in there
OOOOh, that little "boop, boop" sign-off just took my heart. Of course you are still lYou Tubers amd IMO our favorite You Tubers. So blessed by your servant hearts and all the blessings you bring.
Olivia is so cute doing the beeping. I applaud you both for doing this build. I know it is a long time coming. Understandable with the weather, supplies and contractors being busy. Way to go on the floor plan. It would be great for a couple with 1or2 small children. Congratulations.
Bert and Jessica you 2 are so intelligent I admire you,North Pole residents are blessed to have you you are a blessing ,cause you're always thinking of how to help God Bless you always .
Blessings to you busy busy people. Remember to take time for yourselves too. Whenever you give us content we will be there. Thanks for all you do.
I can't imagine Alaskan winters without an attached garage. Please rethink that. Pray for the financing to make it happen. I feel it is a major need in that environment.
Even here in MN it's rough without!! Plus, if their vehicles are older, etc., it would be SO beneficial for engine life to have a garage and not have to start it in the super sub-zero temps. Gently, I hope you rethink, Somers! It doesn't have to be fancy.
The thing is that these guys live in alaska so they know the environment and I believe one of their vehicles lives outside so they are aware the requirements.
Congratulations on moving forward. Just a suggestion but you might want to add another door from the washer dryer room to the master so you don't have to travel through the other bedroom and bathroom to get to the master. I love the idea of a small, secluded, and affordable house.
You are doing the right thing to help people! Your hearts are in the right place!
How exciting on the new builds. Here is a small suggestion from someone who has never built a house. Could you put a door from the laundry to the master or to the walk-in closet. To me it just would save so many steps. Good luck with the affordable houses.
Of course you're RUclipsrs !!!! ❤ . . I just love watching your family work, play and love together !!! You're all amazing !!!! Good luck with your new adventure and God bless you all for being you !!!!
Thank you for thinking of us, your RUclips family. As you help others you educate us along
the way.
It’s a double gift.
We are so grateful for all you do. ❤️🙏❤️
Only suggestion I might have is to swap the “master” and second bedroom. If there is only one entrance to the bedrooms, it would be a super quiet trip through the kids room to the master after they have gone to bed. Or maybe have a door going from the kitchen to the laundry to the master.or the 3’ walkway to the living room, If the bathroom catches fire with the current floor plan God forbid, you’d have to jump out a window in the master. Not a builder by any means just noticing things 😅
You’re going to make a lot of people very very happy when you get to those houses built. You’ll have four families off the street.
Congratulations guy's. You deserve it ❤ Couldn't have happened to a more glorious family! You walk with Christ! God bless
It’s great what y’all are doing! I hope this post gets to you. As a daughter of a deceased architect, I can tell you that the placement of the front door is iffy. If you move it by the bedroom wall , then the living room has more furniture placement.
Greetings from Zagreb, Croatia. You try to make small changes to make this world a better place. Thank you for that.
Loved seeing your floor plan! I wondered if it would be a good idea to make the front door come off the wall in the carport. This would be great if it was raining or snowing - especially if it's a Mum with children as they would be protected from the weather. Just a thought 🙂
It would be amazing to have more small homes built like this. Where I'm at all they want to build is condos for 'first time' homes, all the SFH homes being built seem too big for a first home, and I hate the very idea of owning a condo. Bring back the small homes from the 50's again.
Yes. People don't need large mortgages.
I am praying the weather cooperates so you can get done what you want and need to get done for the building project. The homes are going to be such a blessing to those that desperately need it.
Congratulations on the Affordable Housing Project
Will the Alaskan Apparel have plus sizes?
Good luck with the new houses. You guys are amazing!!
Washers & dryers are priceless! Pantry is great too! I built a 4 bedroom/3.5 bathrooms house & it doesn’t have a pantry. It stinks! Awesome that you guys are doing this for those in need! Love Olivia’s beep beep! ❤
It's interesting about the small houses. My husband and I bought our first house and it was 1,000 sq. feet because they had converted the one car garage to be part of the kitchen. it had three bedrooms and one bath. We lived there for four years and then moved an our new house was just under 1400 sq feet and we're still here 49 years later. I just sold a rental house that was 950 sq feet that was three bedroom one bath and we made it two bedroom so we could add another bath and a laundry room to get the washer out of the kitchen.
These were the houses that people bought, lived in, and raised families, three or four kids, in the 50's through the 60's. Only the wealthy had 2, 000 sq feet and above. So, 850 sq. feet laid our properly will be perfect for a couple or a couple with some children.
It's such a lovely project you are doing.
😂😂😂😂
I will never forget Aspee telling her Dad "Dad! I got the Baby!" while Her Dad was at the Hospital with said Baby HaHa So! Cute!!
I love what you guys are doing! It warms my heart. Where I live they just closed the only homeless shelter leaving these people on the streets with nothing. Now our stuff is getting stolen, they are using anything for shelter. It is so very sad. VIMO they closed hoping the homeless would go to another city or town. Well that is not happening. I have to lock my storm shelter or they will sleep in it. Now if a tornado comes I have to get the key and everything and everybody and animals out to the shelter and unlock it by the time I do all that we could be gonners. I have never had to lock it before this happened.
Thank you for help the ones that need it. I know these are not homeless houses but they are helping people that need a little help.
God bless you and your family!
My friend has multiple housing buildings. He won't call it affordable housing due to the stigma here. He just calls it housing. He gets tons of tax breaks and really does make a good living. So I know you said you have less money than you thought but once the tenants come in, things will get better. Keep the hope.
Bert an Jessica you two are such blessings to your family and community!!😊
Omg!😂 I just realized how much I've missed you saying, "the property"❤❤❤
Cute floor plan! Only thing I would suggest is possibly putting in some kind of door from the master into the laundry room. That way you wouldn't have to walk all the way around to put away dirty or clean clothes.
Violet is so adorable and the love between the boys and her are so sweet
Thankyou for other people. God Bless you
Love your videos. As I was watching this I thought about how much I miss my husband and all the things we did together which was everything. We had 43 wonderful years together! You two are always so busy and running in different directions so often I hope you realize how quickly things can change. Take time to just enjoy each other and your children. Take time to just sit and hold each other, talk together and love each other without being in a hurry and worrying about what isn’t getting done. Time spent together is so much more important than anything else. Regrets are hard to live with and you can’t get time back. There are so many more’ I love yous “ I would say and hugs I would give. I would give so much to have just 1 day more to spend with the love of my life. God bless you both!
If they don’t stay busy they don’t make money.
There are way more important things than money my friend.
@@dianelamb6947 I agree.
I LOVE IT!! Don't ever stop. God bless you all!!
Love my Somers in Alaska family! You are good people! God Bless You Always!❤❤❤❤❤❤🐾
You all are so amazing! Thank you for all you do to show Gods love to a hurting world. God bless the Somers family❤
You are ALL doing AWESOME,Happy People!! I can't wait to see the finished houses!! I'm sure they will be Beautiful. I loved seeing the moose and her 2 young ones near your yard! I never realized how TALL a grown moose is! xoxoxoxoxoxo😊😘❤😊
Happy that your project is finally moving forward . Hello to the Family .
Great job stacking wood buddy 💪😄🤜
Love Olivia’s beep.
Today, 1st September, is the first day of spring and the heat has started early
Morning somers family from the U.K. .
Aww that got me teary eyed as well. Hearing that Aspen watches y'all is so precious. But I really think she watches because she also misses Olivia too. But that's just too cute. ^_^ congrats on getting the plans done for the small affordable homes. :)
What a blessing.Praying for everything to come together.
Yay!! Welcome to Somers Lane! Congrats you guys!
Love what your doing with the housing, you are such a light on RUclips:) love your idea of the tiny homes! A suggestion and I’m sure you considered it and there’s a reason…but can you put laundry entry from the primary bedroom and save wall space in kitchen? Sort of adds convenience to closet being right there..just a thought:)
Look forward to your videos.
Nice to see your beautiful children helping you
Congratulations on starting the new homes!!
Been subscribers for years and this is our first comment. We were the first viewer to watch this video, just seconds after it was posted. How cool is that. We've been to Alaska and loved it. I was born in the Yukon. Live in SC now. Don't think I could handle the Alaskan winters. Enjoyed this video about building. Keep up the great videos. You have a wonderful family.
video video
Are you doing anything for older people .. seems around here everything forgets older people .. seems we become invisible when you hit 70 .. I know there are so many young families needing things but oldsters are forgotten too …. Edited to add what a blessing these units will be for anyone who gets one … you are blessing many people
Another blessing to get started on the build of the homes.. the thrill of it all. I'm so happy for y'all. And y'all serve the Lord obediently and he blessed y'all for that.❤❤❤
So excited for you guys! Doing a great thing in supplying homes for people.
Good video and thank you much. 😊
I wish there were more landlords like you. My rent went up by 20% last time. I am trying to organise to retire in 2 years but am so stressed about having somewhere to live while living on a pension. You are Good people!
I love these kinds of vlogs! Just take us along with what you do for the day. Good luck with getting those blessings of homes started before the big W comes! Hugs from Utah!
You all are awesome, we really need a Bert & Jessica in western Montana. Since the pandemic you cannot find a place to rent for under $1200-1500 per month. We are in a crisis.
I love watching your channel. Your family does so much to help other families. God bless your family.
Thank you for helping with the housing situation in Alaska. I’m a teacher in Fairbanks, living in a hotel, because I can’t find a place. Ya’ll are literally doing the lords work!
I love your vlogs. They help me on my bad days. Love you guys and watching the kids grow up.
Can't wait to see the project as it develops.
Hello happy peoples ❤
Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
Just a thought to possibly swap the bedrooms, putting the master & the laundry room at the front, that way the laundry could double as a mud room for shoes & coats.
So exciting! 💜
Much much good luck and many prayers !! Everything sounds so fun!! 💙🩷🩷🩷💙🩷
6:32 better to take down trees than supply vertical kindling for a wildfire.
Fantastic progress on the affordable housing projects; you’re an amazing family! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
Idea, another entrance or exit, from the car port area, doi that it's covered to unload kids or groceries
Glad how much you do for other people
Being a Class A driver, seeing these dump trucks makes me want to be a part of this, I love helping but I live in ND not Alaska.....some day I'll live there but need to make sure of job n housing BEFORE I'd feel comfortable moving there permanently.....or wait like I am doing n retire there in a few years.
Awesome Family 🥰🥰🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I have a walk in closet. OH WAIT, that's my bedroom!
You two are awesome!!!
Thank you for being wonderful.😊
Cant wait to see the homes
This is super exciting 🎉 Godspeed on the housing project, may all you guys do be super blessed.
You are a beautiful family, always inspiring and helping others. I love your videos. ❤️
I'm sure these guys are happy for the steady work!!!
So excited for you that you can now start to go ahead some more with the affordable housing! I will be praying you can get the cement done for all 4 houses before the snow flies!
I’m excited for you folks. Although these homes are not for you to move in it will be so exciting to see these homes built and rented out. Four lucky renters as I know you folks are good landlords.
Building is so exciting to me. I love all the stages as it is just great to watch how the house comes together. Good luck in the weather co-operating.
Hello happy people’s
Just wanna say you make my day! Thank you 🙏🏾 😊
I get so happy and sad at the same time when I see the moose 🫎 ❤
Good morning from Australia Somers ❤
Loving the real life, job shadow, going Mach 3 videos recently. Very inspiring to see you moving on your dreams!! And its awesome ❤
Sending love from Ontario 🇨🇦
Im sure your going to make the best Small Home [ cabin ] that you can. Wish I could move up and in to one of them.
TAKE CARE and STAY WELL EVERYONE
I love the hoodies on your website, I just wish some were made out of cotton. I just don't like the spandex material on me. 😕 Hopefully, I can get a blanket next time you have one on the website!! ❤❤
consider emailing them -- at their business address so they see it :-)
You guys are awesome, I just love watching your video's, I feel part of the family 😊Sending lots of love from South Africa ❤❤
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!
Being very much a hands-on DIY enthusiast I find the story of your building affordable homes more interesting than anything else. I really wish for more footage of the progress made, at least until winter makes it impossible. How do you plan to keep costs down? You surely cannot scrimp on insulation, heating, or ventilation. Affordable homes are increasingly rare in the UK where house prices are beyond most workers wages, even outside London.
What material was being laid, watered and rolled to make the roadway? It looked like a cement and stones mix.
I appreciate that Jessica does not like losing a tree, but for every tree felled to clear the plots you could plant a sapling in a free space somewhere in the forest.
Those big moose are majestic looking animals!
Also, I'm sure each tree is used in their fire places!!😊
Thank you for doing this! Your family are angels ❤ I hope one day more things like this can help others in so many other states.
May God bless you guys!!! I hope this house project goes nice and smooth for yall!
Great video!! So excited about your building journey.
The kids are growing up so fast.
