Life isn't just your home. It includes a lot more. And building a homestead from the ground up takes a lifetime. I'm glad you are putting the kids first now that you have a dried in place to sleep & eat. They never get younger, and you can't reclaim that time that is lost. You two have worked hard and deserve a little R & R. But the little things take time too. Thanx for the update.
I absolutely agree… you have a plan and you’re following it..your children are only young once and they will always have fond memories of the time you made for them… love y’all!
70 year old British bloke here, delighted to hear your fantastic set of priorities. You have been absolutely spot-on with your decisions right from the start. I am loving feeling as if I'm part of this journey you and your family are on. Keep it up, and the best of good wishes to you all. Neil.
I understand why you guys have put off building the cabin. Keep the kiddos 1st. Time goes by so fast, and before you know it, the kiddos are grown up. Keep going forward and do what you need to do for you and your family. Love you guys❤
They say god, family, friends. I don’t care if it takes 15 years to complete your cabin!!!! Keep those 3 things at the top of your list and you will be good for life. Hats off to Mel and Gary for putting their kids at a level that is more important than finishing a house. Many people say material items are not important and these two are showing what is important.
I’m kind of glad you’re mixing it up with building, kiddos, animals, kiddos, framily, kiddos, sustainable living! Very important balance of life. Yes, the kids are the MOST important area of your life, hands down. I’m very happy to hear this. You keep doing what you plan and your most loyal followers will stick with you! I’m too invested in you all by now!! Love you channel and your family! See you next video! 🥰❤️❤️
OMG! Another Dave Ramsey fan... We discovered Dave about 25 years ago. We achieved our debt free goal in 2016. We were very lucky to have found Dave. You guys are AWESOME! You have your priorities right. Enjoy your time with the kids. They really grow up fast LOL. Love your channel. Thanks for sharing your lives with us.
I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel years ago. You are making a difference and changing lives. Family first, learning and building through trial and error all while filming. God bless you and your family.😊
I agree. My kids are adults, and then in April, I lost my youngest daughter. She passed away on April 27th. That being said, I totally get the reason you're doing things as you are. Keep up the great work. You are awesome people. 👌
I guess it never would have occurred to me that anyone watching would have failed to understand what your channel is about. You couldn't have explained it any better! Firstly, as a lifetime builder, designer, construction worker in all trades, and also been in a second career in music, radio, sound system designing and installing, recording studio building and operation, audio/video composition and editing I fully comprehend and appreciate the gigantic task you have taken on in not only building a dwelling, but a complete homestead, while simultaneously recording the whole process. I am at the final stage of a 10-year project of totally renovating a commercial "Main Street" building all by myself into a home, a rental apartment, and what I hope will be my final (I've built 4) recording studio. I can't even fathom what this journey would have been had I had a family to raise along with all the rest. You guys are constantly making good choices and putting family first. Family is the very foundation of our civilization. Without it we have nothing. Secondly, I am so very glad you guys ended up in Arkansas. Shout out to all 50 states of our wonderful, beloved America, but I was born "smack-dab" in the middle of Arkansas in Baptist Hospital in Little Rock, and spent my childhood there and in Blytheville. Although I left it for a good while just across the river in Tennesse, I have now been back (in Blytheville) for 12 years. It's my home, my heart, and I am so proud to have you and your precious family as Arkansans now! Keep up the good work, the good parenting, and the good video production. I know it isn't easy. I also know that someday, much sooner than you can now realize, your precious great grand-children will be sharing these videos with classmates and friends, and will be saying: "Yeah. Those were my great grandparents. They built all this. They were pioneers. They were amazing. Everything we have, we owe to them and their determination a faith and strength. They were awesome!"
Love the videos and know when the time is right your house will be finished, but the animals also need to be housed and secure from predators/ Keep on doing it
You really have your priorities straight. You know what you're doing. Family comes first. Spend that time with your children. I can't believe how much they have grown since AZ. Stay true to your plan. ❤❤❤❤
I agree with your decision. Children first always! Cause y’all are the best parents! Weather will be better in the fall, it’s too freaking hot now! Keep up the good work!❤️
I'm so glad you are taking time with your kiddos. They are always the most important life's to take care of. I think some people in this world are so mindset about getting things done in a hurry that they forget to slow down and enjoy life, especially with family. But you two are doing the right thing for the well-being of your family. I, for one, will be sticking around for the long haul. You are like family to me already. May God continue to bless all of you. ❤
Gary and Mel, thank you so much for being so genuine and putting your family first. I see so many RUclipsrs that just build and build and build for views on the channels and it’s so nice to a blogger putting their family first. I’m staying right here on your channel.
Family time is important! Love you guys your doing an amazing job! Live life and enjoy all the amazing moments (good and not so good) It's all apart of this beautiful life we get to live. thanks for the inspiration!
Love Dave Ramsey. We became debt free in 2019. It saved us because 2020 came with two job losses. But we were able to start are own business and not have to worry about debt along the journey. You guys rock. Keep doing you.
I could not LOVE this one more!!! Yall have your priorities right ❤ This is why I love watching yall. Raising kind, smart, hardworking and generous kids is the most important thing ❤❤❤❤
I just watched this Video in full length now and 1000% support your decision and every time watching your Videos it put a little smile on my Face. I think your on the right path and i am happy for you all SLR + CRC and C'Mon and DD5 is coming up when they start, too. Glad that i found your channel at that time. Sry for the long Posting
Thanks for the heart! Go for it! Do what's right for you all! Your kids will never forget this time and Wyatt too will be grateful that he lived near his cousins and that his parents made the move for his sake too! You are doing the right thing! Enjoy your summer! Love Beverley
You are indeed a remarkable family and a very entertaining watch, I was one of many who wondered why the building had slowed down now we all know I for one fully concur with your logic, and will remain an avid watcher of your videos well done and keep them coming. Stay safe one and all.
Wonderful decision to prioritize your kids and the ‘things’ that are going to fill their tummy’s this fall/winter. We all love you too. I bet ha the ones with all the when questions don’t have three kids and as many projects as you do to get done all the why opening up yourselves to their critiques. You’re all closed in on the cabin so as you say you’ll get back to it when the kids are back with their friends. In the meantime you are providing the best love and attention any child could dream of. We all love your family, you and Gary as just the best!! Big fan 👵🐶🥰🇨🇦
Wise choice to give the children your first priority this summer. I’ve often been amazed by how you both have juggled the family, build, and your relationship with each other. Job well done! ❤❤
Time is your most valuable asset. Every day, moment to moment. Keeping your values, no matter what. That is An example to us all. Thank you for being authentic!
You have been kicking it on the house since the foundation was poured. You deserve time off to enjoy with your family. Building the chicken coop, the garden and the rabbit hutches gave you lots of kid time this summer. You guys work hard. And your children should be the priority. There's plenty of time to finish the cabin.
This is the best video u two have ever made..❤️ ur family n that ur building a homestead ur life ur future.. ur down to earth.. that means so much.. I lost my only two biological daughters n I miss them so much.. but I know I spent some valuable time with them as much as I could.. I miss them both.. I have some wonderful kiddos left .. I adopted.. I have kiddos g kiddo n one more on the way a great grandson wow I’ll be 63 with my first great n I have a new grandson too a year old how lucky I am .. hugs take time for real things as u said enjoy every milestone.. as u are I’ll be here watching u all grow love ur family N rox ant ur ma sister ect
Good stuff Simple Life!! Your children will benefit from your focus on them! And the best part is when they grow up they will remember this and be thankful! God Bless you both!
Good explanation. Hopefully certain people can understand now. Some people just have no clue. They don't know what building or repairing a home entails...the planning, time, effort, and money involved, all while remaining debt-free too!
It can be so difficult! I know you understand. We Absolutely LOVE RUclips and love sharing our journey, but we dont want to be forced into a "content bubble". We started as a VLOG, we want to stay true to our roots. Since were building a cabin of course it will be apart of our videos - but we want the rest of the journey to take the spotlight. its the moments not that material that make up a great life.
It’s wonderful to see such devoted parents have such a clear perspective on what is important in life. This is exactly why my wife and I enjoy watching your channel. Our children and grandchildren are the most important things in our lives, and there needs to be more people like you to demonstrate what true parenting means. Thank you so much for your vlog and continued success 😊
I understand why you felt you had to explain. However, this is YOUR family, YOUR channel, and only YOU control what goes on in your life. I started watching you guys when you started on the basement, but I continued watching because of the family aspect. I love how you guys prioritize your family over everything.
Great going guys.Simple life with family and enjoying time with the kids on summer break. I home schooled mine and it was the best choice for me and my wife!
You precious people work for all you have done. If they dont like They can move on ... Keep your hearts true with your FAMILY an framily . Im thankful to have watched you all work so hard in what you belive an share with many others . We all love YOU. Be HAPPY an Do YOU
Yes! Dave Ramsey's plan works. I've lived debt free for close to 25 years. And your children won't be young for long, so spending time with them is super important. I applaud your decisions. Keep on keeping on.
I have been a happy homemaker for the biggest part of my life and my children and now grandchildren,great grandchildren are what’s important to me 😊. I love when they fill my home 🏡 with their sweet personalities ♥️. We have the most wonderful times. When you put your family and God first life is amazing! God continue to bless your home and your building Journey……🍃💗🍃
I am new to your channel and have already fallen in love with you guys and your family. I enjoy the cabin building but the day to day living life is so important. I'll be praying for you guys and enjoy your summer!
Perfect logic guys , you can build a home anytime you choose but your children will be all grown up and living their own life in what seems like the blink of an eye . Do you want them to look back on their childhood as a time when mum and dad were always working on the house or as a time when they had lots of fun and adventures as a family . The best things you can give your kids are 1 , a good education , 2 , good example in how to live a good life , 3 , a safe and secure home filled with love and laughter , and 4 , lots of happy memories that will stay with them throughout their lives . And you guys ? you're aceing it , take a bow .
I have to say I have been following y'all for a while. Y'all are the hardest workers and so driven. I admire y'all for what y'all are doing and keeping it real.
I love watching your channel for you, your family and the framily. There is more to life than just one aspect of it. I love the way you two put your children first. Family is everything to me too. I’m in my 70’s and my husband, my children and my grandchildren come first, above everything and everyone else.😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The whole thing is so impressive. I've watched it when it was just a piece of raw land, and look at it now! This lifestyle is not for everyone; it takes real mettle and character to do what you've done. And, it also takes special character to recognize the real needs of family too.
Congratulations on your progress. Continue to work at your pace because your priorities are spot on-your children will be grown and gone before you know it and the time you spend with them now can never be recaptured.
Is the cabin important, absolutely!! Because it’s for the family. But the cabin is a material thing. Don’t listen too the hater’s, who watch for something to do!! I love that you put family time and animal time first 😍🌸
It is wonderful to have the children as your highest priority! The time you spend with them making memories is what they will remember all their lives!
32-married with a little one on the way. Really been struggling with this new phase of life as far as balancing these responsibilities. I want this land to be perfect for my family. I love seeing you guys balancing and putting the important things first. Will definitely keep supporting.
We love all your videos. I enjoy your outings with the kids. The rabbits are so adorable and watching Gary showing them how to put the screws in to build the hutches was awesome. They love their chickens and play with them when feeding them. I am sure they have their squabbles but all kids do. They still are learning to be responsible and that shows how awesome and amazing mom and dad are. ❤❤❤
Bravo! Love that you are sticking to your plan. You are so right, you can never get time back, especially with your kiddos. Love❤that you are so dedicated to family and the simple pleasures in life!
I for one of many, knew that your family is your journey. I have watched since Arizona and this the same presentation and plan you both have stressed and planned FOREVER. Your children will be grown in a blink of an eye. Enjoy your family and critters - and Anthony, Roxanne, Wyatt, and their critters living near by. It is a blessing God has given to all of you. There are even grandparents and assorted other relatives living your Simple Life Reclaimed. ❤ from Arizona
I love you intro the best on RUclips as far as I can tell. I have been watching you guys since you started your trailer rebuild. You had about 13k subscribers at that time. I even got back and re-watch the old videos you guys have done so much in 2.5 years take a break it's all good love watching you guys do everything
Kudos to you both. I have been watching for quite some time and to be honest I had not appreciated the depth of humanity that you collectively possess. Without question - you get it. About life. About values. About family. About the future. Todays episode tipped me into being a subscriber. Congratulations on having values and then living them. Top marks. Well done - and yes I’m busting my chops to see your next BUILD episode - but that CAN wait. Cheers from me in Melbourne Australia 🎉
It's great that you're able to put the kids first , they need a play house. The memories you are creating will last a lifetime. The kids need a summer break as well as you and Gary. Keep your family first, and everything will work out for the best.
I’m so excited for your kids! Now that you have a stable roof, focusing on them for the summer is going to be amazing and something they’ll remember forever. ❤
@@sharon7830 Cabin Definition is: a small shelter or house, made of wood and situated in a wild or remote area. Its a 33x33 building - is it a shack, no. But is it a big building, also no. The word cabin is fitting.

I love that you have made your kids your priority. They deserve nothing less.

Sounds like an excellent plan to me - y'all do what YOU need to do, and ignore all the naysayers!!

Love everything you have done and are doing!!! You aren't a building channel, you are a living channel. Whoot Whoot 😊🎉❤
What happened to the cabin build? Why did you decide to build a stick home instead?
Children grow up really fast. You get one shot at it. Great job. Right priorities.
I understand why you guys have put off building the cabin. Keep the kiddos 1st. Time goes by so fast, and before you know it, the kiddos are grown up. Keep going forward and do what you need to do for you and your family. Love you guys❤

I started watching ya’s when you were painting your home to sell it, and I have been watching it ever since
It was a good reason to pause, our children are adults so quickly, so enjoy every precious moment while you can xxx
Dave IS THE MAN!! We do it,and are debt free!! Good for y’all!!
HECK YEAH 💯👍
Your honesty means everything. I subscribed because you seem so real and genuine. Excited to have found your channel. Love from Bend, Oregon
I love your attitude about family. It's refreshing to see people who put their family before anything else. ❤
Really appreciate the conversation. Glad your priorities are on the right track!
Hi Mel and Garry spending time with your children are very important and taking time out for yourselves are important as well.
I agree with your decision. Children first always! Cause y’all are the best parents! Weather will be better in the fall, it’s too freaking hot now! Keep up the good work!❤️
Let’s build the playhouse/ treehouse for the children!

Congratulations on your progress. Continue to work at your pace because your priorities are spot on-your children will be grown and gone before you know it and the time you spend with them now can never be recaptured.
An Awesome update, and your priorities are perfectly aligned.
So glad you are wise. This is a magical time with your family. So much to see and do. Good for you. Enjoy your summer! Enjoy your life!
You guys are awesome! Glad you are able to pause the build to ensure life for a bit. Love the channel. You guys rock.
Your right family come first injoy your time with your kids have great summer
I watch you guys for more than just activities or building. You two are gems. And I love the Framily. 🤙💓
Carry on living the dream,love all the projects away from. the main house.
Just look at your children's smiley faces,they're loving your dream.
Good for you! Keep going it is fun to watch and inspiring.
It all makes sense guys! Good luck to you all!
Thank you guys for sharing your videos. Best video yet.
What i love in this Cabin is the basement idea ❤. I like it so much
Is the cabin important, absolutely!! Because it’s for the family. But the cabin is a material thing. Don’t listen too the hater’s, who watch for something to do!! I love that you put family time and animal time first 😍🌸
It is wonderful to have the children as your highest priority! The time you spend with them making memories is what they will remember all their lives!
Blessings to y'all for staying true to your family, your kiddos. ❤
32-married with a little one on the way. Really been struggling with this new phase of life as far as balancing these responsibilities. I want this land to be perfect for my family. I love seeing you guys balancing and putting the important things first. Will definitely keep supporting.
AWESOME!!!
Your children will always have lots of happiness in their memories spent with you their parents x
We love all your videos. I enjoy your outings with the kids. The rabbits are so adorable and watching Gary showing them how to put the screws in to build the hutches was awesome. They love their chickens and play with them when feeding them. I am sure they have their squabbles but all kids do. They still are learning to be responsible and that shows how awesome and amazing mom and dad are. ❤❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS on being debt free. It's the best feeling 🥰
Bravo! Love that you are sticking to your plan. You are so right, you can never get time back, especially with your kiddos. Love❤that you are so dedicated to family and the simple pleasures in life!
good for you guys, family time is important and you deserve it. Have fun this summer.
Bravo!!!!!!!! Well said!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I for one of many, knew that your family is your journey. I have watched since Arizona and this the same presentation and plan you both have stressed and planned FOREVER. Your children will be grown in a blink of an eye. Enjoy your family and critters - and Anthony, Roxanne, Wyatt, and their critters living near by. It is a blessing God has given to all of you. There are even grandparents and assorted other relatives living your Simple Life Reclaimed. ❤ from Arizona
I enjoy watching you guys no matter what you are doing!!!!
I'm still here!!! Y'all are rocking it y'all's way!!! Keep going!!!
I love you intro the best on RUclips as far as I can tell. I have been watching you guys since you started your trailer rebuild. You had about 13k subscribers at that time. I even got back and re-watch the old videos you guys have done so much in 2.5 years take a break it's all good love watching you guys do everything
Kudos to you both.
I have been watching for quite some time and to be honest I had not appreciated the depth of humanity that you collectively possess. Without question - you get it. About life. About values. About family. About the future. Todays episode tipped me into being a subscriber. Congratulations on having values and then living them. Top marks. Well done - and yes I’m busting my chops to see your next BUILD episode - but that CAN wait. Cheers from me in Melbourne Australia 🎉
I love watching whatever you are doing, whether it’s building, playing with kids or framily, gardening, LIFE! I’ll be here to see what’s coming!
Summer will go really fast and it seems the older we get the faster it goes. Your doing it right with family first. ❤
It's great that you're able to put the kids first , they need a play house. The memories you are creating will last a lifetime. The kids need a summer break as well as you and Gary. Keep your family first, and everything will work out for the best.
I enjoy your videos and totally love that you are family first. Love you guys. Enjoy the summer with the kiddos.❤
You have a plan and your priorities set ! Family comes first! I will be following your blog ✨️ 😊
100% agree. Beautiful Job Guys!!!!
I’m so excited for your kids! Now that you have a stable roof, focusing on them for the summer is going to be amazing and something they’ll remember forever. ❤
Quite calling it a cabin. It is a very large mountain country home. Built with blood, sweat, tears and family love.
I wonder why everyone calling it a cabin also because it's not ..That a big house with a
basement...I wish them both all the luck
@@sharon7830 Cabin Definition is: a small shelter or house, made of wood and situated in a wild or remote area.
Its a 33x33 building - is it a shack, no. But is it a big building, also no. The word cabin is fitting.
Your channel your way. It’s kinda nice to see you doing some different things. I’m liking it.
