- What a journey this has been for Ashlyn and I. First, we moved from Seattle, WA to Northeastern Kentucky, then we bought an Amish farm that didn't have Electricity, plumbing, or heat. We worked day in and day out to get the downstairs in our home ready so we could live in it while we finished the upstairs. Today we FINALLY got the lights on upstairs which will allow us to make some major strides on our barn home and on this beautiful homestead.
I am almost 70 yrs old. I watch all your vids because it is encouraging to see a young couple with your drive and work ethic. You two are already very successful. Keep going. Who knows what adventures are next.
We appreciate that very much 😊
Cream/orange kitty needs to made his appearance on film again soon. 😉
My dad was a journeyman electrician for 39 years-ish. He’s gone now but he took so much pride in his work. He’d be proud of you. Nice work.
You are providing an excellent example for other young people. The most important tool you are using is your mind to overcome and advance....but then you understand that. Keep moving and keep sharing...you two are doing very well.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us 😊
Love your enthusiasm young man 😃
Looking good!, but you need to caulk all the joints of the walls and ceilings!, then, if you want to, install ceiling trim at the walls for a nice finish!!
Looks so nice good job! I enjoy how you describe what you do so detailed! 😊
I’m glad you enjoy the more detailed descriptions of what I’m doing. I figure, if I’m doing the work, might as well take some extra time to help someone learn how to do it too!
It looks great!! Great job!!
Thank you Jennifer!
Wow it is looking great!!
Congratulations 🎉
It looks amazing!! I am very impressed with all you’ve accomplished!! Thank you so much for the updates!! Now I can’t wait the the flooring!! You do have a lot to be proud of!! Good job!!!
Thank you so much! It’s my pleasure to share with you!
I am amazed that you are allowed to do your own electrical work! Here in Australia, it's illegal to do it yourself. Only qualified electricians & plumbers can work on your home if you want a Certificate of Occupancy from the Council. Great job for all the hard work you have put in. 👏 👌
Someone’s else commented that too! I can’t believe that! You should have the right to work on your own home, just like you should have the right to repair your own vehicles!!
Thank you 😊
So so proud of guys like you my friend!
We Keep an eye on everything you guys do.
Best regards from Romania!
Thank you Alin! We appreciate each and every one of you 😃
Keep doing what makes you happy
Yes! And you as well 😊
Electrician speaking from experience here, when hooking up your switches/outlets and anything else, use the wire cutters and strip a little more and on the small whole of the wire stripper hook the wires so that you can bend them in the direction of how you screw the screw(from left right) about 3/4 of the way around the screws. This is standard practice so that if the screw ever comes lose or you take the wire off and redo this somewhere else the wires don't just come loose.
And if you hooked up those wires to a 20A breaker I hope that was #12 wire because that's what the code says. If you don't that could be a fire hazard. the wire needs to be able to carry 80% of the load. But all in all that looks like great work.
Great tip, and yes we ran #12 wire for all our switches and lights
Congratulations on your ability to keep things moving forward. These tasks many people are afraid to take on their self and I agree with the proper information we can do so much.
Thank you Stanley! I think our world has become so automated that tasks people used to do 50 years ago now look very challenging to the younger generations.
Looks awesome! When you can do the majority yourself you not only save money but you learn valuable skills and feel an extra sense of ownership. There's just something about it that you can't beat. I know when I first did my first sump pumpwhen I worked at the home improvement store I had some who thought I should just hire someone but I said no I want to learn and was even more determined to learn. That look on your face there when you got it done and it all worked I know that well and it made me smile right along with you. Great job once again
That’s a very rare skill to have now days. There’s no better feeling that learning a new skill, sticking with it and seeing the end product!
Smart and wise to save on money to learn what's free from the internet 👍
Right!? There’s not much you can’t learn from the someone on the internet. Just a world of free information out there, as long as you know how to spot bad info!
Agree a person will never know unless they try !
Awesome!!!
Awsome homestead.
Thank you! It’s starting to come together. Still so many projects to go!
Brilliant, it’s so different now you’ve done all the work upstairs. Well done on learning everything yourself. Can’t wait for the next update, loving the shorts you put on too
Thank you Crissy! It always feel like such a mess when living in construction until you start getting to these stages and you realize you weren’t going crazy 😝

You are so neat and organized. It's a pleasure to watch!!!
Awesome and exciting to watch.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed the video
Happy days
Yes… Happy happy days.
Well done👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Donna!!
YAY!!!!!!!
ok brother first bravo to you for what you are doing. Living the dream. But I gotta ask, what is up with the huge gaps between the walls and ceiling?
He most likely will install crown mouldings over those gaps!
I knew a few people would ask! We are going to install crown molding everywhere so I didn’t want to spend extra time and money making the corners looks nice if they’ll just be covered up! Mud and tape is such a bother, any corners I can cut, I will… literally 😂
@@JoeyOuimet15 you got it!
Congrats!! I can't wait to get to this stage in my house build
You always feel like you are going a little crazy when living in construction. You have this picture in your head of what the end product will look like but everything up to those final moments looks so chaotic. These are the stages we finally see those crazy ideas come to life 😊
I find it interesting that you are allowed legally to do your own plumbing and electrical. Here only authorised and certified trades,en are allowed. And you must remember to get the right pieces of paper afterwards!!
Yes, here I’m allowed to do my own work because it’s my property. I’m not allowed to do electrical on another persons house. Everyone should have the right to work on their own property without having to hire someone! I’m sorry you aren’t able to where you live!
Will you ever create a Playlist on the remodeling of your home
I will!

The upstairs is looking great and nice to see all of the electrical working as well. Don't mean to be critical but noticed the space between the wallboard and ceiling in some spots. What is your plan for that, just wondering? Thanks for the electrical hookup lesson, very insightful.
I knew someone would ask! We are doing crown molding so all that will be covered and caulked. I hate mud and tape so I figured since it’s getting covered up there’s not much point in taking the time/money to make it look nice 😂
@@ThePasturedHomestead I new you had to have a plan, thanks.
Great Video, do you need a inspector to check yhour work, is there a code that you have to follow?
Yes there sure is!
Why did you choose black light covers?
We are doing black outlets and covers throughout the house. We have white wall and will be painting the trim black. We really like the look!
