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... 😂
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!! 🎄🦌💜
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.
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
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. 💓
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!
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.
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
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
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 Mel @ Gary & Family…Happy Thanksgiving..belated..we all hope Scarlett gets better soon..the house looks amazing!! Keep up the great work!!🙏🇺🇸☃️🍁⛄️🎄☮️✝️
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❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
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!! ❤️💖
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.😊
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 🌳
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
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 ❤️👍🏴
SORRY ABOUT THE TURKEY,🦃 MEL! 😢 How was it spoiled??? In the fridge to long? Or Bad from the store?Im sure the rest of the dinner and time with family was awesome!!💞
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.
Gary must own a nail mill. I love his sense of pride in ownership. However, this construction method is sooo much overkill and triple as expensive as it should be! The framing for that small a gable roof is strong enough to support several tons of "anything"! Wow!
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.
The unboxing of the Christmas ornaments and reminiscing about their origin was always my favorite part of decorating at Christmas. I want to apologize. I TRY to watch the ads because I know it helps you out, but RUclips is getting ridiculous with their 2, 2 1/2, 3 and SIX minute commercials and I just can't sit through all of it.
We hear ya! RUclips has really gone overboard with the length of the ads, and we’re not crazy about them either. But thank you for being here! Just press SKIP when they pop up! 🤗💚
@@SimpleLifeReclaimed The pleasure is all mine! ❤ I appreciate all the work you put into your videos and into your family. Thank you for understanding...hopefully you get credit for partially watched commercials! 😏
😢So Sorry Turkey went South Mel. Best You Knew Before EVERYONE consumed! Scarlet Praying Your Arm will Be All Fixed Up Correctly and Heal 100%. In Jesus Name Amen 🙏 Julia Best of Success with Getting the Braces back Together. Abe You Did Super Work putting that TREE ON THE TREE!❤ Gary I know EVERYONE is Pickin on You About Nails.. reminds Me of a Deck..Once Upon my lifetime Free lumber But things weren't as high as Now But it cost $40.00 in Nails 😂 a lot for then One Day You All Will Be On to the Next Big Steps... ❤ MERRY CHRISTMAS TO SOON!! Remember the Jesus is the Reason for the Season❤
Hi Not sure what is happening, closed captioning is missing from this website? Usually you included all of those and as a Deaf person I enjoy reading all what ya all saying. Not sure if that if from your end or the RUclips. Love your shows

Prayers for a fast recovery. And you're doing a great job building your home. I love it.
Thank you for the prayers, we appreciate it! 🙏
Looking good Mel 🌷 love your hair🌷
Everything looks so nice great craftsmanship. Love watching from Indiana 🤍
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!
Oh no! I can’t imagine having to cook a turkey without power. I’m glad you were all together!
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!
You are very good people
Happy Holidays! Oh and Mel, my turkey always turns out too dry, the sides are always the best!
👷🏻♂️⚠️Great progress Folks. I do appreciate your carpentry skills Gary!
You do such a great job with all you do Mel. ❤❤❤ You take care of everyone with such love. God bless you and your family ❤️
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.
That is an awesome Tree guys, filled with love! I love that. Your gonna have a time keeping them cats out of the tree, good luck with that! LOL
Melanie, those kids can make us happy, drive us crazy, fill us with love, scare us to death, and finally make us proud. Enjoy the ride!
Good Morning ❤❤... The mud room is looking fantastic, and is Gary built, so it's F5 sturdy 😅.... Ouch Scarlet 😞.... I love all your tree ornaments 😍
I love Gary's silly outgoing laugh. You guys have it going on with that build!
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.
The Christmas tree is gorgeous.
You’re getting closer to having your house done, nice work.
The Turkey rendition of Grandma got em run over by a reindeer is really cute!!
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
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 ❤
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!
Things are getting closer to being finished!
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

Love that our grown kiddos still look for "their" ornaments on the tree when they come for the holidays🌲♥
It’s so great you all have those family traditions!
Great tree, guys!!!😊🎉❤ Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Thanks for the love! Merry Christmas to you too!
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!
That Cat's got a white goatee like me 😂🤣
Hooray rafters times. Beautiful tree. ❤❤ I like your Angel ❤.
I like that analogy of being flexible to bend❤
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 make my own garlic bread with the seasoning in the bread taste way better than store bought
It is all very solid but one thing bothering me it is snow country and there is very little slope on your roofs
Beautiful tree beautiful memories❣️❣️❣️❣️

Great job on the mudroom and Christmas tree! 😊🎄♥️
We’re loving the festive mood too!
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.
MERRY CHRISTMAS LIKE YOUR SONG FOR THSNKSGIVING.
If a tornado hits the mudroom its taking the whole house with it. LOL.
love your beautiful family and the house is looking good
Good job Gary and Mel, that house is built like a tank. Love it.
Thanks! 💪🏻
That one cat y'all got looks like somebody washed her and got bleach on her
Gary are you building a bomb shelter? LOL!
🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
Beautiful tree 🌲

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 🌳
Good afternoon coffee…. happy building, have a safe great day.
Melanie, you're going to have to take Gary back out there, and show him where he missed about 50 nails......lol
merry christmas to you all
Merry Christmas!
Great job, Gary. Man, that nail gun looks heavy. I'm thinking a hurricane couldn't even take down your house.
I up the playback speed and Gary is Really GETTIN ER DONE!
It is looking so good
Looks straight from my living room lol
That house will be there for eternity. It ain’t going nowhere.
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
I love that your tree is decorated with hand crafted ornaments. That is a special tree.🎄
It’s the little things that make a home special

How are you going to get your drywall into the house with the mudroom in place?
Through the door. 🤗
awesome job guys. wow mel i havent heard that word "STOOP" since i was a kid in NJ BIG CITY
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 💚
I'm Ready for Christmas 🎄 Friends
🎉🎉🎉 CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
@SimpleLifeReclaimed 💛💚
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.
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
SORRY ABOUT THE TURKEY,🦃 MEL! 😢 How was it spoiled??? In the fridge to long? Or Bad from the store?Im sure the rest of the dinner and time with family was awesome!!💞

Shoot a old camera from at least 5' to 10' away with the nail gun. Scare the crap out of us! 🤭 👌 😍

Good video. Spaghetti looked good.
So very sorry about the Turkey but funny presentation and we have ruined a few gumbos in the past

That is better. I like your videos. Not the shorts!
