All I can say today is thank you. Thank you for your family’s normalcy, for the kindness you model, and the love that binds you. I needed this
❤️
I was so blessed to meet you all in the parking lot at the Home Goods in Spokane the other day!
Naveah has to be so excited. She really should be up there helping with the final touches on her place. lol These are all things she needs to know how to do. It's such a beautiful place.
I am hoping this happens when we aren’t watching.
Having been a major appliance salesman for Sears back in the late 1980s, I can tell you the reason that ranges, dishwashers, and dryers are sold without cords is pretty simple. There are actually different types of 220 volt plugs (3 or 4 prong) depending on the receptacle that is present. Also sometimes the appliances are hardwired for power instead of plugged.
How weird 🤔
@@Britabroad877 Different states,different regulations.Not so united states.
From what I understand, there some manufacturers are moving toward providing power cords as optional accessories, allowing users to choose the appropriate one for their specific electrical setup.
Which means they will charge you for both cords when you only need one and the rest will end up in the landfill. They aren’t free, they’ll just up the appliance price.
In my country it has to be installed by professional, its says it on the appliances because the voltage needed for the oven is able to kill you if done wrong
Looking at those mountains every day is dream material. Having 4 beautiful and helpful children is a true blessing. Having land enough to build such a wonderful home and run horses, have a barn and productive vegetable garden and orchard .... wow is amazing.
The love in this family, the life in Christ leading the way, yep you've got the dream life and so much thankfulness in bucketloads.
The odd bump along the way is not I surmountable and contributes to learning and growth.
My favourite family to watch every week.
Mine as well 😊
The richest person in the world is the person who has enough. I love that! Thank you for sharing that. I believe I will share it also. Love your videos and wisdom.
PS I had a water dog. When he was a puppy he did not love the water either. But as he grew up he loved it so much and all we had to say is “Jake, wanna go to the river?!” And he jumped through the window of our ‘river’ car and off we went for hours of fun. Just give him time.
I have always said that we live like Kings.
Videos about your normal family “stuff” absolutely delight me. We all have things that go wrong or not as planned. And you’re right - it’s easy to dwell on that and allow it to bring you down. But it’s important to remember that when you live through the things going wrong, it makes you incredibly grateful when things go right. I think one of my most important lessons is to be adaptable and not so rigid. I’m reminded of that saying “If you want to give God a good laugh, make a plan……”. It’s all His way and in His timing, not ours.
It looks nice
I just love all the giggles in the background at the lake. That’s what makes it all worth it. Thank you for bringing us along
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great quote Melissa! I guess that’s what gratitude really is “being happy for what you have”. 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Absolutely!
It’s called “being content!”
I saw a video of a guy saying something so true and have to share! “If you practice something, you get better at it. So if you practice saying negative things about yourself or others, you’ll get better at it.” I choose to practice kindness and gratitude so I can get better at that. Same goes for resentments or empathy. When people let me down, instead of being resentful, I pray for them and have empathy for them. When we have an attitude of gratitude, there’s no room for the negativity in our hearts. You and your family are always such a beautiful example of how we should live and treat each other and handle life’s little ups and downs. For that, I’m thankful for you and it’s always a joy to see a new video from you pop up! ❤I love you all and I hope you have a beautiful and blessed weekend! ❤
❤️
I was told, because in many cases homes/apartments do sometimes have differing plugs, most appliances, at purchase, require the purchase of a cord and plug. So, it makes life easier to match your cord and plug to what is present. Who knew?
Can confirm. 5 years of appliance installation over here.
I'm glad to see a responsible person that knows when you hike in the mountains you carry a firearm. Thank you for letting people see.
Well said.
My wife and I both give you thanks for today's video. We both needed it too! We love you guys because you all are a normal family with family values! We appreciate you all so much! I love that Jeremy is former law enforcement, so am I. We love the humor you folks display and the love that you share for each other and your kids and others! Thanks again for such an entertaining and ordinary parts of your almost completed apartment build over your wonderful garage! God bless you all! Much Love from the Tyler family!
Thank you so much 💓 God bless
All Grace, Praise and Glory go to God!
For even in burdens and hardships, are the blessing within.
GOD IS GOOD!
JESUS SAVES!
HOLY SPIRIT IS WITH YOU ALWAYS!
May God bless you and your family to keep you safe and well.
Amen🙏🏽💜❤️
He is all the time!
@@GoodSimpleLivingYes, He is , the question is ... are we ???
You do a good job trying to live the life He calls us to. With so many temptations and a world of evil intent surrounding us, it us behoven of us to constantly seek, find, & follow His will. In the Lords Prayer where we pray ..." Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven ...." it assures us this is possible, by His grace and the oower presence of the HOLY SPIRIT in our lives, so to aim for it and to make it happen daily is an achievable exercise . This is contentment. To know all things ars possible thru Him who strengthens me".
Doing His Will by making it our own, removes the struggle . It's a pleasure to watch a family in another country, on another continent, but in the same world, loving and serving the sane Almighty God, and lyving the same life of example to the best generation abdbin NY case , the next generation again ie: my grand kids. Be blessed Jeremy& Melissa and your family of 4 as you serve Him and love one another, from this Aussie Nan 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏🇺🇸✝️
In the early to mid 60's as a child, I, and the neighbourhood kids would gorge ourselves on wild Huckleberries all day long in the forests surrounding us. This was in lower mainland British Columbia, and now, houses, stores and busy roads have left those berries as only a memory. May God bless the little, simple things and make the annoyances in life fritter away in the wind. I feel rich beyond measure after watching this video, as I always feel after watching, and am so thankful for this channel, filling hearts around the world with gratitude.
Love your family videos with a beautiful family. Jeremy reminds me so much of my late husband with his teasing and double entendre meanings. I lost Stephen 7 months ago after 54 years of being together nearly 50 years married. I miss him so THANK YOU for being a light to help brighten my day, yes Jeremy you are Melissa's Huckle Berry love Avril from Victoria Australia
There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe your beautiful family. I have been with you since the beginning of building your home. I enjoy your videos, so fresh to see a loving and caring family you make my heart sing. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
Thank you so much 💓 God bless
All puppies hate the water! I've had three Labs and one Golden and they really didn't like the water until they were 6-8 months old. Give him some time, and before you know it you'll be coming home and finding him lounging in the hot tub! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 born water babies
"An hour back into town."? The former LEO in me says "DONUT RUN"! 4.5 year fans here!
This is as one of my favorite episodes! A little work, a little fun and beautiful country with the whole family enjoying it!! Thx so much!❤
This week was like life encapsulated! Always adapting, finding solutions, and appreciating everything you've got! 😀 🐕
Gabby looks great.
Watching the mountains and the views and sharing your family.....priceless
Thank you for another awesome video.
Thanks for watching!
You don't know how much this old lady looks forward to your videos every Saturday and your podcast on Wednesdays. Lovely family and always love the words of wisdom at the end.
Oh thank you!
Thank you for a lovely video. I love watching the new puppy adventures.
Yes the are a beautiful family 👪 the are so happy every thing the do is fun for them. they find Time to go out to the mountains and have some fun. may God bless you and your family. your friend Mary.
God bless Mary
As they say, it always something! You all proved that in this episode, can’t wait to see the final walk through, it will be stunning!!!!
I love watching all the progress you make on all of your builds. But I love when the whole family goes out and enjoys each other's company. Love to you all!❤
The power cable has at least two different designs and the manufacturer does not know which one you need.
Is the Samsung frigerator on the models subject to recall.?😮. Theirs a pending class action lawsuit over their refrigerators starting in 2019 to 2024.
Is the recall about the ice maker they cannot or will not fix, if so it goes back to 2015. I’ve been trying to get mine fixed since the end of 2015 and it’s still not fixed, ended up unhooking water line to it.
The thing I love about this channel is how real this family is! I hate that the huckleberrys got gone! Hope you and your family have a wonderful week 😊
Learning, teaching, having fun in your adventure. Making dreams come true. RUclips has made it all possible with your talents and hard work. Amazing the opportunity simple videos have provided.
Those doors are very thick, they will make very good 'fire-doors', not a bad thing.
Love to you all from Mike. ❤
Good morning
My favourite Saturday morning family.Have a wonderful weekend.💕
Good morning!
You should order some huckleberries to plant on your property.
Not as much fun picking them at home.
The people who have tried have never been able to get them to grow in the lower elevations! I grew up in that area and people have been trying for years but to no avail.
@@karenbradshaw4479 true, but they’d be there. Make the trip to the lake, a trip to the lake. And if the berries are there, bonus.
@@suemckee1598 there are varieties that will grow lower down. There are some that grow in the eastern US.
@@armyrabb1Those are called blueberries. Huckleberries are dark purple.
omgosh!!! the new build is looking so beautiful!! what an addition to a heartwarming homestead. i have been so excited about the life you guys have been building in Idaho
That’s a phenomenal title of a video.
One of the cutest couples lol. And of course it couldn't be to easy as going to a hardware store and finding longer screws for the door knobs ❤
I currently have an injured knee. I can spend time thinking about how I can’t do as much and be bummed about it, or I can just do my best with it and think about how I am still richly blessed according to God’s riches and goodness.
What a bummer that that handles didn't work out. Thanks for being a everyday family that isn't perfect. So thanks for being you and for sharing ❤️ ❤❤ catch you all next week ❤
Power cords aren't included on dryers and stoves because there are various standards in what is in a structure. Still a lot of 3 prong outlets around while 4 prong has become the code. For dishwashers, most are hard wired so a cord would be a waste.
I lost my Yorkie three weeks ago. He was my only companion. Because of my health I will not be able to get another dog. Don't know how you got over the grief. Good for all of you that you got another. When they are so loved, it is a huge hurt. NY daughter is in another state and is also struggling . Love your family and love how you live and love so hard.
Beautiful family and land to enjoy time together creating family memories!❤ I never get tired watching you and your family! Thank you for sharing your family story!❤
The apt looks great. You can grow your own huckleberries. I bought seeds.
you guys make a great family.very impressed with the love between all members
I lived in Idaho for 4 months long time ago but it was one of the most memorable places I have been to . Loved it a lot. Great family place.
Once again, y'all made me giggle! The dog has blended himself in very well. What a chill pup... At least that's what you've portrayed him to be. He's a Cutie! 💜💙🧡💓
You guys are amazing. It's so awesome to see your family, the build, the animals and the view!!! And as always, the sentiments at the end. It is a peaceful part of my week. I just don't think you realize how God has used you in people's lives. Thank you. Love you all.
❤️
They don’t come with the cord because not every house has the same outlet. Some have a 3 prong and others have a 4 or a foreign outlet
And some are installations are hard wired.
Y’all are too funny 😁 I love these videos n look forward to Saturday mornings 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁😁🥰
I love how the doors turned out. The place is fantastic. Compare the place your oldest daughter is getting with the unlucky people paying major money to live in cubby-holes in New York City and San Francisco. You've built a wonderful homespread.
Beautiful appointment 💕👍 keeping having family fun 💙💓❣️
For the pantry door, what about countersinking the two roller supports to the thickness of the metal. That would probably get you a 1/4 to 3/8" space.
The puppy is fitting right in with the family. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you have great design styles. 😊
I ❤ how you used the dark color to go around the top of the walls floor & sides to accent.
Also remember…..
Mother Nature is not always perfect but to us She is.
Love watching you create you own little piece of heaven 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I am envious of your communication with one another, your love, your relationship etc. please make a video teaching us to be more like you two.
Two steps forward and one step back…it happens, but you two adapt well. Thanks for another great vlog and lord willing you have a blessed weekend! 🤗
Such a beautiful Family🫠💞. I look forward to your channel every Saturday🙂👍🏽🎉
Thank you so much 🤗
So nice to be able to follow You. Your Journey with the build of your homested. Thank You ❤❤
Good morning to my beautiful family.
Good morning!
Thank you for sharing.
Don’t worry about your water dog. It took until our Golden Retriever named River was 6 for her to finally learn to swim. We moved to the mountains of western North Carolina and found her a beautiful clear lake. Once she started swimming water was second nature to her.
Suggestion for vent cover: Build a box around the vent and attach the same tiling from the focus wall.
You all are amazing, I love how well you work together and love the thought of having a transition space for the kids. I wish I could do that for my kiddos. Love you guys!!!
The quality of your home and addition is excellent! You guys have great taste and vision.
There are several different commections available for 240v (dryer/stove conmections) but they need to match usually what is in the building so they can easily be changed out.
If you want more space in that barn door, instead of (or in addition to) those rubber grommets, use some washers, stacked up to increase the depth of the ferrules.
For the shroud, I suggest you ask around and see if any siding company can bend you something to the size you need. I think most will be bale to do that. As long as your color choice isn't too far out there, they can bend something pretty quick too.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I have learnt so much from your channel, i.e DIY, gardening, house builds, animals, and the list could go on. God continue to Bless your family.❤
So nice of you
Thank you for sharing your journey to your beautiful home and legacy….
For the cords, some areas of the country require 4 prong while other areas require 3 prong. This makes it where you choose the one that you need for your area instead of receiving two.
We have the same problem here with black raspberries, we took a section of our backyard fenced it in and made a small berry patch because all the wild spots are either picked or destroyed for development
I remember picking wild blueberries with my mom and picking blackberries and muscadines too. All wild. We are as much as I picked. Fond memories. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
One thing to remember is where the shower rod will be mounted later. That will require a little extra backing. What I did in my rental properties was use silver stainless steel piping with threaded gusset plates on the ends. The rod is mounted solidly into the wall and makes for a sturdy shower rod. There is no possibility of it falling down (think of the crappy rods that use tension pressure to stay in place). There are no thin metal rods here. Your place will be used by teenagers and young adults. They will put things to the test for durability. I do the same thing for towel rods. They are easy to make. Just make an elongated U shape with the gusset plates on the ends. I make them the length between two stud bays. This allows the gussets to be screwed into the studs. It will never get yanked down and also doubles as a place to grab when navigating wet bathroom floors.
A little hiccup here and there is expected right?😂😂. Y'all sure did pick a gorgeous place to live!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Much love and God bless always!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. ( And Ludo, you are so precious!!) ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Yes! Thank you! God bless Lana
You're really amazing family!! Even when things go wrong you're still wonderful to each other!! Still appreciate your videos!!😊
Thanks for today's video, always a pleasure to watch. Advice for your rubbing door, apply wax so it slides easier and protects the wood from the scraping. I used that trick on my dresser drawers so they slide easier.
When I as a kid growing up in NC I would pick huckleberries in my backyard.
Wish y’all would have got to pick some maybe next year. Thanks for sharing it’s a beautiful place.
To answer the cord question, it is because of so many different possible plug types. Most appliance makers sell to different countries, thus the lack of cords.
Progress may be slow, but it's still progress! As always, thanks for taking us along.
Years ago, stoves did, but now they require you to buy the "correct" one that fits your receptacle. There are at least 4 different configurations, maybe more. (We once owned a hardware store! haha)
Great Video, the apt is coming along so nicely. Ludo and the kids are growing so much this summer!
I can answer you cord quandary. Dryer cords also don’t come with it and it is because sometimes mobile homes use different cord configurations. So you have to match the cord with the plug. Same thing on a stove or dishwasher.
I had a labrador mix, and we bought him a plastic pool and he would go crazy in it. Your hike was beautiful❤
The brackets that holds the barn door up could inset in the door with a router. That would bring the door out away from the wall more
Answer to the question about why the appliances don’t have the cord is if the cord is mounted on the stove they often get damaged from shipping. Secondly depending on location some stoves are required to be direct wired but that is rare.
A wooden plank hood vent would be really nice! Like those doors. Good job! Like your closing remarks.
There are a bunch of different outlets and most of the time the outlet is already there (all the time unless there was a problem or the house is being built) from when the house was built so you buy the cord and plug that matches the outlet vs changing the outlet.
Cool toddler proof freezer drawer 👍 You guys have the best B-Roll, mountains, wildflowers, farm animals, horses, puppy, beautiful kids, broad sky and forest. Melissa you deserve an award for cinematography ! Neaveh is a blessed girl. Congratulations on your 18th Birthday and your new home 💕 God Bless the Souza family. 🌸🌼🌻
Thanks so much
Consider doing your stove pipe offset above the ceiling. Replace the two boards with the current hole.
For the stove hood you can get a metal worker to bend and cut a piece of black metal to cover the full width and height of the stove cover and exhaust pipe.
For the door rubbing at the top, have you considered shaving a small amount of material off the door at the top using either a router or the table saw. Then you can touch up the stain
This was an awesome video. Your place is so nice and the northwest (particularly Idaho) is so beautiful and scenic! Thanks for taking us along!👍❤️
Thank you for such a wonderful message. Its such an easy thing to get disheartened by all the little things that don't go right. What a great reminder to count our blessings. Your pup still may be a water dog yet, he is still so young and entering the fearful stage, where things can seem very scary. Keep getting him out there and gently introducing him to things, he will figure it out!!
I remember the summer after Mt Saint Helen’s the berries were the size of our thumbnails.
Those hooks that pickers use reck the plants. It’s actually illegal to pick to sell. 😬
Such good memories high lake hiking in the mountains above Bonners Ferry years ago.
And, yes, so important to carry bear-bells, ( marbles in a can) to shake to let grizzlies ahead down the the trail that we are approaching. Never a good thing to surprise a grizz.
God bless you all and thanks for sharing your Ida-home living. 🙏 ❤
Such a beautiful vlog. My favourite half hour of the week is watching this. We used to own a small holding, but now our kids have grown and fledged the nest, so we have downsized, as we were unable to managed by ourselves. I still have our chucks and our four boys all live within an hour of us, so as I hit sixty, despite awaiting surgery on my neck for arthritic changes, I nod in agreement at your statement and I smile as I definitely have enough. Sending love and prayers from Sheffield 🇬🇧 Jenx

To add my 2 cents to im sure hundreds of responses, ovens and dishwashers come without plugs because: a) electric ovens are 220 and those come in either 3 prong or 4 prong varieties so you buy the stove then the appropriate pigtail for your outlet. And b) dishwashers can either be hard wired to the circuit (no plug) or with a std 120 plug, so it depends on install preference.
For the dishwashers it’s sorta silly, but I suppose it keeps cost down a small amount. For ovens and stoves it makes perfect sense.
As for your power cords, for the stove, some older systems have a 3-wire cord. Newer homes and most new installations are required to have a 4-wire cord. The microwave missing a cord is mostly due to varying installations that may require a longer or shorter cord. That's pretty much it. :)
Good quote and I think your daughter Neveah would be very happy to move in as it is. Your children are very blessed to have parents like you. You are a lovely family and I thank you for sharing your adventures through life with us. Have a lovely week end.
They don't put plugs on stoves because houses that are older have different outlet types. Hence they don't know what type of outlet you have.
Those doors and woodwork are beautiful you have a great husband mine can do it also but won’t your garden looks great have a great week
