Just a few random observations based on 55 years in the trades. 1) You always show your concrete with too much water. Makes for an easier pour but a very weak mix. You want it to be wet enough to hold its shape when compacted in your hand, plus maybe just a LITTLE more water. 2) Even though you are having your siding joints alternate courses, you ought to stagger them further, so that the joint in the succeeding course is a couple of vertical structural elements away. 3) You might consider establishing a handrail on the ladder. Use easily grippable pipe placed far enough off the vertical supports to easily and quickly get your fingers around it. 4) Before you face high winds against the overhead door, consider making an easily placed and rremoved means of bracing the door from behind. Garage doors are one of the first fail points against high winds. Could easily be accomplished with the tools, materials, and skills you have. A couple of verticals would do the trick. 5) I know you see the Panamanians welding without protection. DON'T DO IT. What you're using is actually fairly minimal. Talk to someone who's done much welding over a couple of decades. It will probably open your eyes. Free advice. Do what you will. I enjoy your adventures.
OMG why are your videos so short! I would watch them forever! You're one of the few things that elevate my mood for the last couple months! Love you guys!
I have been watching you now for about a year and some change. . I’ve bought your music. ( I love kaylees voice! Sing again soon please lol) and I just bought kaylees beans and I’m so excited to get to drink some special coffe. I wanted to actually just leave a comment cause I was telling my boyfriend about you and I was thinking - I’ve enjoyed watching your journey. I’m totally so happy for you. Your life is just so inspiring. You both are great people . Your hearts are filled with so much love. And your souls are spirited and so beautiful. And I’m not even able to find the right words for how much I adore you. And Hard workers. ! Driven. It’s been a pleasure to see you grow and all the adventures . Thank you for being you. You’re truly living your best lives and I hope to one day travel to visit ! Sending love and light your way . Thanks again . For just being so freaking cool .
I wanted to tell you how much we enjoy watching you build your homestead. We have watched you from day one; from the day you pulled up and put the bus on the land to what you have now; the garage door. We feel like we know you. You guys are so smart. And the animals are so funny. When I was 14 I borrowed the Old Man's 2nd car and took it for a joy ride in the country. My mother used to let me drive it back and forth in the driveway and eventually across the street in the churchyard but she had no idea I had BIG plans, so one day when they went shopping, my best friend Bobby and I decided to make the journey. Long story short, I ended up building a double garage and a library. Am from Ohio where the footers only have to be 14 inches below the frost line but the Old Man made me dig the footers 3 feet wide by 6 feet deep. I didn't have to pour the footer but I did have to mix the mud for the cement blocks. I'll never forget the day I saw the light of day when the block was at ground level. lol. I spent 4 yrs. building that double garage and library and on my 18th birthday, I left home and flew to Los Angeles, Ca. to finish my last year of highschool cuz I wanted a diploma from the County of Los Angeles instead of Mahoning County. Now, I never learned how to weld but my brother did. You make it look so easy. // I have always had a green thumb so I really enjoy watching you work the land. I do have a Wrinkled Lime tree - specimen from Thailand, a meyer lemon, Brazilian bananas, a pomegranate grove; cumquat tree, 2 blood orange trees and a Key-Lime tree and assorted flowering bushes like Arabian Jasmine - it blooms at night; so sweet. And the neighbor helped me build a raised bed in my driveway where I have Bougainvillea and Lantana and all kinds of other things. // And who doesn't love coffee; I always wanted to grow coffee but I don't think we can do that here in Palm Springs, California...but we certainly could have a couple bushes in Boquete. lol. After living in the desert for 29 years, am not sure I could adjust to the cool temps of Boquete. We are acclimated to 117 degrees. Last September, 2019, we visited Merida, Mexico, Yucatan and we fell in love with it; so magical...but I always had the idea of the "cartel" in the back of my brain; kinda scary but then I realized the cartel is in every major city in the United States - they have to have somebody to push their products and I felt like, "Okay; I can deal with this..." but being a news junkie, I just posted an article on facebook and twitter - "There's a NEW cartel in town; must be their damned kids or grandkids??? so now am freaking out about them so that's why I thought, "Boquete" ...until I found Manta, Ecuador - the other day. No cartels that am aware of; no hurricanes; low cost of living; population - 250,000 people; that's what Youngstown, Ohio was at the height of steel mill production; sounds good so ... we shall see. We shall see...but when I see you building your steel framed home - you know, Aaron Spelling built a 56,000 square foot house in Holmby Hills / Beverly Hills many many years ago and the steel came from my hometown - Youngstown, Ohio. I know cuz I used to speak with his wife, Candy Spelling on facebook when it first came out. So when I see you building that steel framed house, I get excited. lol... Anyway, I felt compelled to tell you how we are always excited to see your next youtube video. --- Sincerely, Bob 08 04 2020
I think the ladder is okay where it is; I would widen the horizontal step part by adding a duplicate to each step on the back of the ladder. Thinkin' Out Loud. ...
Y’all work so hard and accomplish so much!...I am an original hippie now aged 73 and truly admire your get it done attitude! God bless y’all and stay safe and healthy!
Looks awesome! My chickens always take dirt baths in my flower garden. I try and keep everywhere I don't want them wet so it's not as inviting. Funny little birds
Kaylee, I know exactly what you mean about having a schedule. Days off mean more when they're limited. And how cool is it that you're happy to go back to work on Monday.
Suggestion: what if on either side of the ladder: a Fireman's pole for a quick slide down exit, and a "Dumb Waiter" pulley system to hoist a food tray / coffee in bed, upwards 👌(Maybe even the dog & cat gets a ride up and down) ... We love watching you guys, follow your bliss and keep loving each other and everything you do 😍🤗
Yeah, is so much fun! Weren't they going to stack wood up there, to dry, and was the remark about sleeping there a joke (or about a temporary thing)? But still, good ideas, yes.
I have to say i want Thank God i Came across your channel! Because i just smile so much when i see the notification of new vlog of your wonderful amazing day to day life! You both are truly blessed an i just love you both i just turned 50 May 16, an i A Mom, an Grand Mother of 3 beautiful grand kids, an a widow as of now 2 years we were Married for 30 year's but had separated for 10 year before past away an we ended up begin best friends. But want i want you both to know that you have helped through some really bad day's! An I have to say Thank you for that! Also you both please be safe an live life like every day is a blessing,, because it is really is! But i am just so glad an excited to see what you do next an create. God bless you both an all of the new friends an family you have an the one's you are making in that beautiful place!
I loved your comment . And I can def say that each day is truly a blessing and a gift. My first love was killed in a random act of violence and it tore my world heart and soul to shreds for years. But it’s given me a real appreciation for life. I always am telling my loved ones how much I love them and what they mean to me. Cause we just never know. I wake each day filled with more and more gratitude for my life and the opportunity to transform myself and my life . Thank you for your comment. Sending love and light your way .
Generator cutting out: I have a generator just like that (Westinghouse). It has an electrical fuel cutoff solenoid (switch) that cuts the fuel off either when an electrical signal is sent to it - OR - when no electricity is sent to it (can't remember which). This switch is located at the bottom of the carburetor bowl (screwed into it). It has a wire coming out from it that has a quick disconnect connector on it. Try disconnecting the connector and see if that keeps it running. If it conks out as soon as you disconnect it, then it needs electricity going to it to keep it running. If it keeps running and the intermittent cutoff problem stops, then you fixed the problem. The normal on/off switch may not longer work normally, but all you have to do to shut the generator off is to turn the fuel supply valve to OFF to stop it when you're done (takes a minute or two to run out of gas). Just remember to turn it back on and let the gas fill the carb up before restarting. If it needs electricity to the switch to keep running, then you can remove the solenoid from the bottom of the carburetor. It has a brass plunger on it that plunges upwards to immediately stop the flow of fuel inside the carb. You can grind the plunger down with your angle grinder or a file so that it can no longer do that. Just be careful not to disturb any other part of the solenoid valve (like the sealed part where it mates to the carb bowl). Then reinstall. It should start with the gas valve open and if that was the culprit (and it wasn't some other problem like dirty fuel, clogged fuel filter etc), the generator should run normally thereafter (although may backfire occasionally on shutdown because that's what the solenoid is for). Good luck!

Slow and steady wins the race! Looking great guys, and ya, keep wearing your safety gear, you have to live with your body for the rest of your life and how you treat it will make a big difference in how you feel when your 50-60 or 70.
Love following you two. Started following you after we found Trent and Allie. Love all your adventures and pray your new homestead continues to grow. Love the young men that are working close to you and adore Lola and Roger. Of course, the chickens and neighbors cows are always a welcome addition♥️ Prayers for all your endeavors🙏♥️
Amazing you guys!! I am so impressed and humbled to see how much you have grown and matured in all ways since I first started following you just before your adventure with Trent and Allie....both couples are truly inspirational👍👍💕💕🙏🙏
love the drone scenes.... also enjoyed you pointing out the "wind we feel" then putting that together with the time lapse video... really made it understandable on a different level-
Sooooooo EXCITING to see the entire structure getting closed in, what a journey!!! You’re ALL AMAZING TO ME!!! Much ♥️ being sent, your Mommas did a GREAT JOB!!!
Always exciting to see videos from you guys! I’ve watched you for years- and will continue for years to come. I wish my little family could move to Panama- and who knows? Maybe we will? ❤️ We’ve got adventure in our hearts!!!! Love you guys!
What a beautiful place to live!! Waking up to that every morning would certainly energize me! Thank you for sharing your journey of building this beautiful home and I look forward to the next video! 😁 Cheers
I was cringing so hard for you guys because I built a platform bed for my kid and I did the ladder vertical. It's so hard to get on the ladder if it's straight up and I had to give it a slight angle to be able to get off the bed easily.
I went back and watched a bunch of your past videos. You both have grown and changed so much. You were so young and rather scattered in the beginning (said the 64 year old), but you have grown quite a bit over the years. It has been a pleasure to watch.
Seems to be temporary, so I'm assuming they thought they'd just accept the ceiling height. Probably gonna spend most of their time laying down up there anyways lol.
@@cody2470 Kaylee said in another comment that they'll just be sleeping up there but I'd think it would be a pain to have to go up to the bus in the morning to use the kitchen.
Well when near ALL your income comes from RUclips support... you have to be super duper nice 110% of the time... they do work hard ...can’t really have a bad day and be in a fowl mood no matter how crappy , or mad at the world you are...
With welding helmets & cold weather clothing on, I can't tell you & your crew apart sometimes. You need to get jerseys with names printed on the back! 😀
I've done a lot of construction I'm no expert but with all the metal you have to leave gap to allow moisture/heat inside the home to escape or you'll have a lot condensation which equals rust and mold. Install window screen a the top between the steel beams to keep bugs and critters out but allow the moisture to escape. I would definitely talk to the architect to double check with a roofer.
Wow y'all are cruising on it! Outs looking great I'm absolutely infatuated with y'all, your friends, your animals, your chickens that follow Kaylee, I mean Lola, and Rodger!! Y'all are too much adorable!! Congrats on your paradise it's gorgeous, thanks for sharing! Much love and progress always!!💜
We changed the oil 3 weeks ago! First thing we checked when it shut off because of the low oil shut off. Seems like it’s something electrical with the switch. Doesn’t sound like it’s starving for air or running bad. More like the switch is being flipped
I've got to tell you guys that I look forward to all of your videos. Between your channel and Trent and Allie's channel, I love them both! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
You know...? Your videos are really good. You both have really made them enjoyable to watch from genuine love for each, to the passion you are putting into your work building your homestead. From the friends you've made to the animals you both are very kind and very adaptable to whatever or whomever comes your way. Very easy going and just take everything with a grain of salt. The music you choose and the editing never is boring or repetitious. Thank you Great job on your build for never doing anything like this before.....I'm impressed.
I agree with the other posts below concerning your generator, time to service it with new spark plug, air filter, new oil and a good carb cleaning. Also please don't neglect to feed that generator with good gas. That generator is working hard for you guys, give it some love. Oh, BTW, I ordered your coffee, can't wait!!
The reason the chickens are in the box is because that is how they clean themselves...we built our dusting box as it's called we put ash sand and dirt in it
Greetings and much love from Canada. I really adore you and all the lovely people you have surrounding you. Keep up the wonderful work it looks fantastic. Peace and Love
I love the love! All yall are such a great team. I appreciate that you don't want to have stray dogs in the greenhouse, will you make another place for them?
You REALLY need to make something for the chickens to get in like those boxes to lay eggs and raise them off the ground, not only to protect them from all the wet weather but just to feel safer. I'm happy to contribute so you can make them a better bigger place.
Your attitude Your Love Your Energy Is so Contagious I love how you are helping the people of Panama ...they are lovely souls...You have me looking to see if I can afford to Live in Panama Also Jordan 3 days..Call the Drone Co. You have a huge Platfrom ..and covid has messed everything up Maybe they will help it doesn't hurt to ask!!! Blessings from Michigan
Good Morning from Kennebunk Maine...Got my coffee bean order, made a cup, like it very much...I usually drink Dark Roast so this was totally new to me. Thanks for the great updates on Workshop/ Living in the Attic...Cheers and Hugs...PS.....Red Sox pitching just not what they need...Go Bruins!!!
I'm glad to see you're finally putting supports under some of the places it's needed so badly. I'm trying to figure out if you just don't understand the need for good quality welds or if you just don't care. On the areas that really need the reinforcement you should be putting in three to four overlapping welds to build the strength necessary to hold the weight you're talking about putting on it. You need to understand the techniques to make and have good quality welds to have the strength necessary to properly build what you're wanting to build. It really is LIFE or DEATH!!!
Twinkly lights always add mood & atmosphere & relaxation when all the other lights are turned off! I have blue & green & multi-colored in my living room. However, they do use up electricity!! The new LCD ones in clear tubes are cool!💖💙
I absolutely love the function/decor value of that ladder! Such a great look! I know a bit about design, nothing about construction, so everything you guys do is just mind-bogglingly impressive!
Lots of progress!!! Your new ladder, soon to have little twinkly lights, and the garage door looks great!!! Your getting there, soon you will be sleeping in your loft!!! Keep healthy and safe you all!!!
I vote for twinkle lights!!!! There are really cool LED strips with color remote that would suite a party mode dance event (great stress reliever) not to mention good exercise! And be light functional too! Love to everyone at the Bouquette Farm!
Please contact the company that makes the drone. I am certain they will honor the warranty even though it's 3 days over the date. Most companies will work with you. Let us know...
plus with covid many companies are a little more understanding. PLUS they could use their vlog to tell the world how wonderful this company was to them.
I am taking Jordan’s side on the lights. Twinkly lights should be in the bedroom. Nice work everyone. It’s nice to see it coming together with all the COVID restrictions.
Great rhythm to your post today. Energy, attitude, accomplishment! You guys have become your own custom metal fabricators. The workshop will be a great transition from bus to your eventual home on the finca. In Venezuela they used to call the heavy rains, “chubasco”. Same in Panama?
Checkin bk in from So. Cal. 1st off...love the soundtrack picks💯. & awesome pull down door...yesss. I vote for "many" twinkle lights for the "holidays" at least. Love the progress guys. Much love❤💯💥
I have one request please. More close up shots of the vegetation on your property... a little nature tour? I'm always thrilled when I see new videos uploaded. Lots of love from Canada ❤
Chickens love a dust box to bathe in and another great thing you can give them is a small bowl of very small rocks, AKA, "rooster teeth." It helps them digest their food more efficiently.
You have a great frame of mind to keep it together. Your videos have a unique structure , the roots are taking excellent shape. Keep generating great vids.
Kaylee,Jordan, There is a low oil shut off on generators. Check the oil in the crankcase. Always make Shure that it is level when running. You could burn the engine up if on a downhill incline. 30 weight non detergent. You guys rocking out the work. Stay safe from Pennsylvania.USA God bless
Hi guys here in the uk at 3.00am in the morning after coming home from the bar. Such a shame u put a garage door on your little tiny (workshop/new home) you should have put bi-folding doors on there to admire the view. Never mind I just want to say that I am so addicted to your channel I have followed you both for a long time always thumbs up, and I always have a smile while I watch you both, you are so infectious. It’s amazing to see two young people do so much and are always smiling and happy. Lots of love and blessings to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️( ps: keep up the good work)
You guys are awesome and even if things seem like they are going bad you guys are such great people that greatness will find you!! Great karma is on your side! Much Love ❤🐶
What improvement in this video! (seems a "little" more mature and not so much clowning around like in your previews videos!). However, your guy that's recording the videos, he's not focused enough and he moves the camera way too much. You put way too many mini clips, and none of those clips shows you completing anything. Again, I think that you would benefit a lot by watching "Life Uncontained" RUclips channel, to see how they do their videos (their results shows in the number of people that watch their videos). Pay close attention to how they show completing projects (like putting a window from start to finish in one complete clip). That makes us feel like if we (the viewers) are completing something with you guys, by watching you guys do the hard work! lol :) By the way, please know that if I take some of my time to watch your videos, and to write comments, it's because I really like you guys, and because want you to succeed and get a lot more viewers and more subscribers (like that cute couple from Life Uncontained). Good luck with your projects, and please finish that tiny house already!! (use the bus for storage!)
I just binge watched the last 40 videos you guys uploaded. I’m so happy I stumbled upon your channel! You guys have a great vibe and I can’t wait to continue watch great things happen for y’all. Sending love, thanks, and good vibes your way

Ya it’s crazy cute for sure ..!!!
I can’t believe that cat sits on her head when she is working to..!!!
Twinkle lights for the WIN...at least while you are living in it.
ROGER ROCKS! 🐾🐈

Hope your small family that you both have created stay safe keep alive it's important to a lot of people who aren't doing what you are achieving
Don't change anything you r doing. This channel is the real deal. Thank you for being you.
Generator cutting out: I have a generator just like that (Westinghouse). It has an electrical fuel cutoff solenoid (switch) that cuts the fuel off either when an electrical signal is sent to it - OR - when no electricity is sent to it (can't remember which).

Impressive Response!!
Slow and steady wins the race! Looking great guys, and ya, keep wearing your safety gear, you have to live with your body for the rest of your life and how you treat it will make a big difference in how you feel when your 50-60 or 70.
Love following you two. Started following you after we found Trent and Allie. Love all your adventures and pray your new homestead continues to grow. Love the young men that are working close to you and adore Lola and Roger. Of course, the chickens and neighbors cows are always a welcome addition♥️ Prayers for all your endeavors🙏♥️
A sloping staircase to one side, instead of a vertical ladder! Then you could carry stuff in your hands!
and not crack your head open in the middle of the night bathroom need
Also, a sloping staircase would allow your pets easy access. Excellent work by the way! I'm happy for you all. :)
Dumb waiter.
Someone also mentioned that all the pets will be able to climb a sloping staircase! No a vertical one!
Wow!!! I remember when you made the frame and were so happy and now look at you guys you almost have your house/ work shop
Amazing you guys!! I am so impressed and humbled to see how much you have grown and matured in all ways since I first started following you just before your adventure with Trent and Allie....both couples are truly inspirational👍👍💕💕🙏🙏
I can never get enough of your videos!
I am going to recommend clear corrugated fiberglass above the door. It would add a ton of light.
That's a good idea.
love the drone scenes.... also enjoyed you pointing out the "wind we feel" then putting that together with the time lapse video... really made it understandable on a different level-
They should name a new coffee whatever they nicknamed their Drone...to let us help them raise funds for a new one!
D K good idea!!
That was nice of Ed and the Boquete Sandwich Shop. I thought it was going to be full of tacos or salads 😂😂😂
Progress! Much progress.
I was thinking the same thing!!
Tacos are from Mexico and the USA not Panama...
The One the Boquete Sandwich Shop is know for it’s delicious tacos
@@ericdrews5050 yes because its own by an american.
Sooooooo EXCITING to see the entire structure getting closed in, what a journey!!! You’re ALL AMAZING TO ME!!! Much ♥️ being sent, your Mommas did a GREAT JOB!!!
Always exciting to see videos from you guys! I’ve watched you for years- and will continue for years to come. I wish my little family could move to Panama- and who knows? Maybe we will? ❤️ We’ve got adventure in our hearts!!!! Love you guys!
What a beautiful place to live!! Waking up to that every morning would certainly energize me! Thank you for sharing your journey of building this beautiful home and I look forward to the next video! 😁
Cheers
Up until this moment, I love your progress, but today, I am getting truly excited!
I was cringing so hard for you guys because I built a platform bed for my kid and I did the ladder vertical. It's so hard to get on the ladder if it's straight up and I had to give it a slight angle to be able to get off the bed easily.
Looking good. Well done and great to see all you and the team’s progress! Take care
I went back and watched a bunch of your past videos. You both have grown and changed so much. You were so young and rather scattered in the beginning (said the 64 year old), but you have grown quite a bit over the years. It has been a pleasure to watch.
I love you guys! Just found you yesterday, and have binged so many videos!! ♥️♥️♥️
Jennifer Garrison I agree, been with them for over 18 months
Seems to be temporary, so I'm assuming they thought they'd just accept the ceiling height. Probably gonna spend most of their time laying down up there anyways lol.
@@cody2470 Kaylee said in another comment that they'll just be sleeping up there but I'd think it would be a pain to have to go up to the bus in the morning to use the kitchen.
Try Trent and allie too they are the sweetest couple vanlifers building a tiny house and also Jennifer watch Vancity Vanlife Chrome is the BEST
Love love love!!!! Everything is looking amazing!!!
AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME.... you guys are rocking it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸❤️
The tiny home looking so awesome, Roger being a troublemaker along with Lola, love it.
You guys are the most amazing people and i love you
Well when near ALL your income comes from RUclips support... you have to be super duper nice 110% of the time... they do work hard ...can’t really have a bad day and be in a fowl mood no matter how crappy , or mad at the world you are...
Great Job! Love the garage door! You both are so inspiring! I admire that you go after your dream and make it happen. You rock!
You have a lot of courage and determination fighting all the elements! Please more footage of Roger and Lola. Those two are adorable!
With welding helmets & cold weather clothing on, I can't tell you & your crew apart sometimes. You need to get jerseys with names printed on the back! 😀
I've done a lot of construction I'm no expert but with all the metal you have to leave gap to allow moisture/heat inside the home to escape or you'll have a lot condensation which equals rust and mold. Install window screen a the top between the steel beams to keep bugs and critters out but allow the moisture to escape. I would definitely talk to the architect to double check with a roofer.
I can't wait to see the final results!!🤗 You guys have done such a good job. Much ❤ to you both..
Loved how you explained the wind direction and how it relates to where you are on your land ❤️🌱 #permiculture
Your videos are always so joyful. Love the progress you are making.
Wow y'all are cruising on it! Outs looking great I'm absolutely infatuated with y'all, your friends, your animals, your chickens that follow Kaylee, I mean Lola, and Rodger!! Y'all are too much adorable!! Congrats on your paradise it's gorgeous, thanks for sharing! Much love and progress always!!💜
Oh it's looking fantastic! I love it! I just received my coffee today❤ can't wait to try it!❤
Hey guys check the air filter and gas filter in your generator, they may need to be changed. It probably would be a good idea to change the oil too.
Might be low on oil as well generators tend to shut down when low on oil. Keep up the great work guys. Super jelly
We changed the oil 3 weeks ago! First thing we checked when it shut off because of the low oil shut off. Seems like it’s something electrical with the switch. Doesn’t sound like it’s starving for air or running bad. More like the switch is being flipped
The Nomadic Movement as a young teenager I found the things you guys do inspirational
Maybe spark plug?
I love the way your fans try to help! We care!
Wow! It is all moving along wonderfully. So exciting to see the progress....keep em coming you guys!
I love ur guy’s videos a lot. Love the time you take with your editing and commitment, keep it up!
I've got to tell you guys that I look forward to all of your videos. Between your channel and Trent and Allie's channel, I love them both! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
You know...? Your videos are really good. You both have really made them enjoyable to watch from genuine love for each, to the passion you are putting into your work building your homestead. From the friends you've made to the animals you both are very kind and very adaptable to whatever or whomever comes your way. Very easy going and just take everything with a grain of salt. The music you choose and the editing never is boring or repetitious. Thank you
Great job on your build for never doing anything like this before.....I'm impressed.
AMAZing! Love, love your creations and the harmonious way all of you get along. You guys are truly Blessed🧡good work.
So amazing the comradery of all the local business. Yay Boquete Sandwich Shop!
I agree with the other posts below concerning your generator, time to service it with new spark plug, air filter, new oil and a good carb cleaning. Also please don't neglect to feed that generator with good gas. That generator is working hard for you guys, give it some love. Oh, BTW, I ordered your coffee, can't wait!!
The reason the chickens are in the box is because that is how they clean themselves...we built our dusting box as it's called we put ash sand and dirt in it
maxine gore that’s like our chinchilla, dust baths with volcanic ash. Keeps the bugs off.
We call it the chicken spa lol
exaktly, keep it dry and clean, i use a big planting pot and poor fine sand in it. and the birds are healty no parasites on them.
So happy for y’all !! You’ve come a long way baby!! 🥰🤗 Stay safe !!!
Greetings and much love from Canada. I really adore you and all the lovely people you have surrounding you. Keep up the wonderful work it looks fantastic. Peace and Love
You two are so loving and kind it is not surprising that your animals are too!
Keep living the dream guys :) Thanks for sharing x
I wish your videos were like a hour long lol I love watching and whenever they're over I get so sad 😞
Yes twinkle lights ✨✨ you and your crew are awesome! I ordered some coffee... can’t wait. Sorry about the drone 🥺
I love the love! All yall are such a great team. I appreciate that you don't want to have stray dogs in the greenhouse, will you make another place for them?
Sorry about your drone! I’ve missed a few of your videos. Boy, you guys are coming along great!
You REALLY need to make something for the chickens to get in like those boxes to lay eggs and raise them off the ground, not only to protect them from all the wet weather but just to feel safer. I'm happy to contribute so you can make them a better bigger place.
Your attitude Your Love Your Energy Is so Contagious I love how you are helping the people of Panama ...they are lovely souls...You have me looking to see if I can afford to Live in Panama Also Jordan 3 days..Call the Drone Co. You have a huge Platfrom ..and covid has messed everything up Maybe they will help it doesn't hurt to ask!!! Blessings from Michigan
One day I wish to live on a remote piece of land like both of you! The progress on your homestead looks amazing!!!!!
Awesome video you guys all are making my days happier that I can watch. Keep safe
Good Morning from Kennebunk Maine...Got my coffee bean order, made a cup, like it very much...I usually drink Dark Roast so this was totally new to me. Thanks for
the great updates on Workshop/ Living in the Attic...Cheers and Hugs...PS.....Red Sox pitching just not what they need...Go Bruins!!!
From Portland, Oregon, it is impressive to see all the positive comments you get. You totally deserve them, from me as well!😀👍❤️
I'm glad to see you're finally putting supports under some of the places it's needed so badly. I'm trying to figure out if you just don't understand the need for good quality welds or if you just don't care. On the areas that really need the reinforcement you should be putting in three to four overlapping welds to build the strength necessary to hold the weight you're talking about putting on it. You need to understand the techniques to make and have good quality welds to have the strength necessary to properly build what you're wanting to build. It really is LIFE or DEATH!!!
Just got my shipment of coffee!! Inaugural cup while watching this video!! Cheers guys!!
Love all these videos great progress, incredible work ethic.
Cant wait to see the final product ❤
Love watching your progress. Stay safe!
Twinkly lights always add mood & atmosphere & relaxation when all the other lights are turned off! I have blue & green & multi-colored in my living room. However, they do use up electricity!! The new LCD ones in clear tubes are cool!💖💙
I absolutely love the function/decor value of that ladder! Such a great look! I know a bit about design, nothing about construction, so everything you guys do is just mind-bogglingly impressive!
Should've put the ladder on the right side, that way you're not losing workspace, Anyway great video, Worcester out
Worcester, MA?? Brings memories 😁
I should've read your comment before my own. I thought it should be against the wall actually to save even more space.
Still would have needed a support in the middle
Yaaasssss! Twinkle lights! That'll be so cute! Plus it'll help you see the ladder when it's dark!
Lots of progress!!! Your new ladder, soon to have little twinkly lights, and the garage door looks great!!! Your getting there, soon you will be sleeping in your loft!!! Keep healthy and safe you all!!!
You are the sweetest amazing couple , bless you on your dream
I vote for twinkle lights!!!! There are really cool LED strips with color remote that would suite a party mode dance event (great stress reliever) not to mention good exercise! And be light functional too! Love to everyone at the Bouquette Farm!
TWINKLE LITES ALL THE WAY!! 🥰🥰🙌🙌🙌🎉🎉🥂
Please contact the company that makes the drone. I am certain they will honor the warranty even though it's 3 days over the date. Most companies will work with you. Let us know...
plus with covid many companies are a little more understanding. PLUS they could use their vlog to tell the world how wonderful this company was to them.
Nelson Munoz I was thinking the same thing. Contact the drone company!
I'm guessing it's the drone company that already told him it was 3 days past warranty :D
I am taking Jordan’s side on the lights. Twinkly lights should be in the bedroom. Nice work everyone. It’s nice to see it coming together with all the COVID restrictions.
Ach!! NOW it's lookin' like it's comin' together! Well done, ya'll!
love u guys! drinking your coffee watching you!! life is good...
great progress guys!! Fun to see this come together
Good job guy's !! Lookin good, keep up the great work :) God bless you !!
excited to see the outcome of your project.
Great rhythm to your post today. Energy, attitude, accomplishment! You guys have become your own custom metal fabricators. The workshop will be a great transition from bus to your eventual home on the finca. In Venezuela they used to call the heavy rains, “chubasco”. Same in Panama?
Checkin bk in from So. Cal. 1st off...love the soundtrack picks💯. & awesome pull down door...yesss. I vote for "many" twinkle lights for the "holidays" at least. Love the progress guys. Much love❤💯💥
Sending you positive vibes from Trinidad 🇹🇹. Keep Richard safe for us Caribbean ppl until our borders reopen. Love you guys
I have one request please. More close up shots of the vegetation on your property... a little nature tour? I'm always thrilled when I see new videos uploaded. Lots of love from Canada ❤
Beautifully beautiful
Chickens love a dust box to bathe in and another great thing you can give them is a small bowl of very small rocks, AKA, "rooster teeth." It helps them digest their food more efficiently.
You have a great frame of mind to keep it together. Your videos have a unique structure , the roots are taking excellent shape. Keep generating great vids.
Kaylee,Jordan, There is a low oil shut off on generators. Check the oil in the crankcase. Always make Shure that it is level when running. You could burn the engine up if on a downhill incline. 30 weight non detergent. You guys rocking out the work. Stay safe from Pennsylvania.USA God bless
Hi guys here in the uk at 3.00am in the morning after coming home from the bar. Such a shame u put a garage door on your little tiny (workshop/new home) you should have put bi-folding doors on there to admire the view. Never mind I just want to say that I am so addicted to your channel I have followed you both for a long time always thumbs up, and I always have a smile while I watch you both, you are so infectious. It’s amazing to see two young people do so much and are always smiling and happy. Lots of love and blessings to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️( ps: keep up the good work)
You guys are awesome and even if things seem like they are going bad you guys are such great people that greatness will find you!! Great karma is on your side! Much Love ❤🐶
What improvement in this video! (seems a "little" more mature and not so much clowning around like in your previews videos!). However, your guy that's recording the videos, he's not focused enough and he moves the camera way too much. You put way too many mini clips, and none of those clips shows you completing anything. Again, I think that you would benefit a lot by watching "Life Uncontained" RUclips channel, to see how they do their videos (their results shows in the number of people that watch their videos). Pay close attention to how they show completing projects (like putting a window from start to finish in one complete clip). That makes us feel like if we (the viewers) are completing something with you guys, by watching you guys do the hard work! lol :)
By the way, please know that if I take some of my time to watch your videos, and to write comments, it's because I really like you guys, and because want you to succeed and get a lot more viewers and more subscribers (like that cute couple from Life Uncontained). Good luck with your projects, and please finish that tiny house already!! (use the bus for storage!)
I just binge watched the last 40 videos you guys uploaded. I’m so happy I stumbled upon your channel! You guys have a great vibe and I can’t wait to continue watch great things happen for y’all. Sending love, thanks, and good vibes your way
