Hi Mel & Gary! So excited to see what you get done!The mudroom looks amazing! One day @ a time you guy’s are achieving the Dream🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s ❤Auntie Laura
Thank you Mel and family for sharing your tree decorations. Hopefully soon I can do it with family. Mel sorry I haven't been commenting much. I am in the hospital, been here for 4 days and the Dr is making noise like 3 or more before going home. With lots of love from your crazy friend in ohio
Gary and Mel sitting in the rocking chairs one day looking around at everything that was built and withstood storms and everything! I picture that and it's a lovely picture. 💓
I'm glad the kids are fine though. Things happen and kids sometimes get hurt during play. They love each other and will laugh at this when they are adults🥰🥰🥰
Hi everyone!! That’s a very beautiful Christmas tree!!! Great job kids!! Scarlet I hope your arm isn’t too badly injured. Keep up the good work on the mudroom Gary. It will be done before you know it. As always great video Mel!! 🎄🦌💜
I was always told as a kid, It's easier to do it right the first time. Gary definitely does it right the first time. Y'all are building a mud room like Fort Knox. If you had to have inspections you would pass with flying colors. Love watching you work together. Can't wait to see it done.
God Bless Gary, when he says "it's not gonna go anywhere", you can bet it's not going... Anywhere. l love the way you two work together such an awesome couple.
Don't feel bad, our power went out Thanksgiving day while the bird was in the oven just as my mom was thinking the worst thing that could happen would be for the power to go out. Dinner was a little late but being with family made it great!
The main reason to make an abundance of tasty side dishes ( mushroom green beans, stove top dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, etc.) for Thanksgiving is in case the turkey is a bust. Lots of pies and cool whip make everything right. Beautiful tree. Merry Christmas.
I helped my DAD, with building decks and additions, for people. I understand the concepts for leveling everything. DAD was great at it. You have that roof flat tho. No pitch for the runoff. I was just finding it sort of strange. With the rain, snow you might get there. Love yal. Prayers Always
We Decree rapid healthy recovery completely whole head to toe inside and out now in JESUS name. Been there did that except no surgery Broken in 3 pieces. Never again in JESUS name
If i dropped my procrastination and i was there I'd help you Pull those Zip Board Roof panels off of the house and build the A Frame connecting into the existing house roof Trusses in the attic. Then wed zip board back over the A frame and tie It all back into the house & have it all done & dried in in a day or less. But I'm 4 States away from you and all i can do is make suggestions and chew my fingernails watching as i procrastinate my own projects... 😂
Really coming together. Thank you so much for taking us along. It’s been great to watch the progress you are making. So proud of you. Take care from Cape Cod❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mel @ Gary & Family…Happy Thanksgiving..belated..we all hope Scarlett gets better soon..the house looks amazing!! Keep up the great work!!🙏🇺🇸☃️🍁⛄️🎄☮️✝️
Keep doing you. I hope you get done what you need to do to get you one step further to closing up the mud room. I'm sure you'll take the winter months to start working on the upstairs inside to get you all moved in sometime in 2025. Here's hoping with Trump winning that prices go down on building supplies so you can afford to get done what you need to.! You two are awesome and hard workers. So nice to see how you care so much for each other and the kids. Do you think now you'll send the kids back to school since all the crap they were teaching will not be happening anymore? I was a teacher for years and I never heard of half the stuff they are teaching theses kids. It confuses them for sure but with strong parenting you can teach your children that no matter what no one can change you. God made you as you are. I have a 13 year old granddaughter who says some teachers are crazy but she ignores them. That's because my two daughters are teachers and tell them be respectful but ignore dumb things. lol all six of my grandkids are pretty smart and don't listen to BS. I'm sure your kids don't either. It's hard work homeschooling kids but it does teach them better social skills. being in school. You do you, but I'd love to see the kids interacting with others than you friends kids. Kwim. They are lovely children but need other kids to grow. Just my opinion. Your kids your way. Love you all!! ❤️💖
Hello Gary and Mel, the Mud Room is looking really good, it’s sure a solid build Gary, that house ain’t going anywhere but where it stands. Beautiful work your home is going to be a winner. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
With completion of each part, you’re a little closer. So, it’s taken you about 3 years to get this far, paying cash as you go(& Gary’s engineering this to be a bomb shelter 😂)so, 3 more years & you’ll be sitting on the deck enjoying it. Keep a checklist of all the tasks as you go. Checking things off will keep you motivated.
I noticed on all RUclips videos today on all channels I watch that there is no transcripts posted. Did RUclips change something? It helps those of us with hearing issues
Reminds me of my hubby .. I used to tell him, if you built an ark, it would have sunk. My dad was a carpenter...my sweet hubby, God rest his soal, was not one. But he did a lot of good work on our house we moved on property. And on a two story tiny house he built.
Hi Gary & Mel & family hope u guys r having a cool wonderful day May The Good Lord Bless ur family I have an amazing idea what about making some ornaments of the family and put them on ur tree 🌳
Tell Scarlet I can feel what she feels like, I had my first cast on my right arm at 4 years old, Broke my left arm in the fifth grade and my right leg in a cast from my ankle to my hip just before I was nineteen. Not including stitches burns. I was the accident prone one one the family Good luck and hang in there kiddo
Lol, live and learn. In-laws flew out one Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving morning came, my turkey was frozen solid. So , I snuck outside. Car in the driveway slopping down, so I coasted down the road in neutral. Started the car , and drove 30 mind one way to the only store selling unfrozen fresh turkeys and got back before they woke up. I have never grinned a turkey. Butter basting works well. Put some under the skin too.😊
I noticed that you have not taped the roof yet you doing that next looking really good you are very hard workers you have done an amazing job love watching you both stay safe ❤️👍🏴
@@carlapierle8623 that would look amazing I meant wrap around the mud room at front not all the way around the cabin but I love these guys ! hard workers !
kind off freaked out when gary had scarlet on his shouled with the fan going....not going to lie about that. merry christmas to all......sorry for any spellling mistakes..... lol.
What a great loving family.Merry Christmas and put God first in your family.
Gary, you have more steel (by way of nails) than wood in that mudroom......lol

Oh no! I can’t imagine having to cook a turkey without power. I’m glad you were all together!
The main reason to make an abundance of tasty side dishes ( mushroom green beans, stove top dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, etc.) for Thanksgiving is in case the turkey is a bust. Lots of pies and cool whip make everything right. Beautiful tree. Merry Christmas.
Great video of your work & the time spent as a family relaxing & doing your tree & the memories of your decorations.
Thanks for watching, we're having a great time building our dream home!

Great job, Gary. Man, that nail gun looks heavy. I'm thinking a hurricane couldn't even take down your house.
I’ve never seen that c clamp trick to cut a straight line. Thanks for showing me. Mud room looks great
We are so glad you learned something new!
The Turkey rendition of Grandma got em run over by a reindeer is really cute!!

Great job on the mudroom and Christmas tree! 😊🎄♥️
We’re loving the festive mood too!
awesome job guys. wow mel i havent heard that word "STOOP" since i was a kid in NJ BIG CITY
If a tornado hits the mudroom its taking the whole house with it. LOL.
Hello Gary and Mel, the Mud Room is looking really good, it’s sure a solid build Gary, that house ain’t going anywhere but where it stands. Beautiful work your home is going to be a winner. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
I love Gary's silly outgoing laugh. You guys have it going on with that build!
It is all very solid but one thing bothering me it is snow country and there is very little slope on your roofs
There is more than enough slope for our climate 🤗
I make my own garlic bread with the seasoning in the bread taste way better than store bought
Recipe please?
@ 2 tbl honey 2 tbl vegetable oil 2 eggs 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1/2 tsp rosemary 1 teaspoon parsley flakes 2 tsp fine chopped garlic 4 tbl Parmesan cheese 1 tbl yeast 2 cups of water 4-5 cups of bread flour 1/2 cup of milk while mixing
That Cat's got a white goatee like me 😂🤣
Help - What song is playing at 18:45 in the video? I love it but Shazam is failing me horribly!!!
merry christmas to you all
Merry Christmas!
I'm Ready for Christmas 🎄 Friends

If you haven't before, try hot chocolate made with milk instead of water. excellent !
Oh yes! When I do it homemade instead of with the instant packets you Gotta use milk and the secret ingredient is BUTTER. makes it so creamy!
@@SimpleLifeReclaimed Recipe please never heard of Butter 🧈 in Hot Chocolate..😅

A thought. Can you make the stairs up to the landing anytime soon? It would certainly ease access while you are framing the roof.
We don't plan to build them until our metal is on the roof or at least in route to be.
Good afternoon coffee…. happy building, have a safe great day.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too! 💚
Hi Gary & Mel & family hope u guys r having a cool wonderful day May The Good Lord Bless ur family I have an amazing idea what about making some ornaments of the family and put them on ur tree 🌳
love your beautiful family and the house is looking good
Let me just say this : Merry Christmas for you all, too (that also includes CRC, too. from Germany.
Our pleasure! Merry Christmas!
Gary are you building a bomb shelter? LOL!
It is looking so good
Tell Scarlet I can feel what she feels like,
I had my first cast on my right arm at 4 years old,
Broke my left arm in the fifth grade and my right leg in a cast from my ankle to my hip just before I was nineteen.
Not including stitches burns. I was the accident prone one one the family

Boy that spaghetti looked mouth watering, unlike my usual Thursday poor day dinner.
Peace from California
I noticed that you have not taped the roof yet you doing that next looking really good you are very hard workers you have done an amazing job love watching you both stay safe ❤️👍🏴
The roof is taped, what you are seeing is "ice and water shield", a protective layer that goes under the metal 💚
That house will be there for eternity. It ain’t going nowhere.
Merry Christmas 🎄❤
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I would have wrap around porch with you door on side so you could enjoy front view through windows ! But You have plan and you cabin looks ace 👍
Their original plan was to have a total wrap around porch, but realized it was going to be too expensive and didn't want to go into debt to build it.
@@carlapierle8623 that would look amazing I meant wrap around the mud room at front not all the way around the cabin but I love these guys ! hard workers !
Late but GOOD job y'all
😁❤️
Good video. Spaghetti looked good.
kind off freaked out when gary had scarlet on his shouled with the fan going....not going to lie about that. merry christmas to all......sorry for any spellling mistakes..... lol.
🎄🎀✨🎀🎄
Melanie, you're going to have to take Gary back out there, and show him where he missed about 50 nails......lol
That one cat y'all got looks like somebody washed her and got bleach on her
That was hilarious.
How are you going to get your drywall into the house with the mudroom in place?
Through the door. 🤗
Hi guys
❤❤❤👍👍👍
You guys are simply amazing! My wife of 57 years and I, envy you. Love all you do. Nice family!
We are so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching 😊
