What is 110%. I am no maths mjor but I am pretty sure that is a rediculas mathmatical staement. The fact that I am leaving the channel for good this time ist that Jessie in particular seems to need to get over his self impotance and be les condicending to his/their RUclips fans. To all those loyal followers enjoy the build but I am over and out.
Jesse, get over yourself a little bit eh man? You come across like WE are lucky that you post videos. We are not. You provide stuff to watch and we watch. That's it man.
Not trolling here just giving my opinion, is it me or does Jesse seem super controlling and calculating he knows they have milked RUclips for enough money to complete the build and no longer has to suffer filming, I know someone had to think and someone needs to do but the constant whingeing about labour and then spending ages taking rubbish trying to make it look like he knows everything is hard work to watch, he cherry picks his jobs and then Alyssa will do all the grunt work, I don’t know just my view hope there happy with each other and can build the life they want together and not just the life and home Jesse wants x
I don't think they would have been so far behind if Jesse wouldn't have spent so much time pondering over every minute detail and making simple rookie mistakes which makes them do things twice and sometimes three times over. I mean seriously, who drills into concrete with a cordless drill while needing to install 50 or so tapcons around the bottom perimeter foundation. (remember those videos?) He spent a few days on that and then a few weeks later decides to buy the hammer drill. Finally, I think he misses out on a lot of sound advice from commenters here on youtube. Although the work had already been completed by the time the video aired, he still misseds out on some good tips. Plus he says on their videos that he doesn't read the comments but then he'll still go on youtube to learn how to do something. Nice, will watch other how-to videos but cant even read the comments of your own. I, for one, would be so appreciative for any advice I could get and also would take some time,if just for a few minutes, to at least peruse the comments as a kind of thank you to your viewers. But I guess, to each their own.
they won't read this, they are shit lol... i don't need to be told a person can't find time to upload a video over the course of 12-15 days of any given length.
I think to latest count you are accusing at least 5 different RUclipsrs of being "Jesse". Is that all you got mike? Your material is getting old troll.
Great to hear your backing off from your extreme daily schedule. From all your fans in the UK - and there are many - we think you guys are doing an amazing job. I was wondering when this moment would come.. It's pointless and dangerous exhausting yourself for the sake of a constant stream of videos. You guys are legends with an amazing work ethic. Thanks for all your efforts so far, we will take what we get. Lots of love from the UK.
She had to edit out him yelling at her too many times. Now he's just sitting in the trailer yelling at the cat while she's at the bar picking up fracking techs.
With the timber framing workshop coming, there is no option for not being ready. Focus all of your effort on that. Video editing can happen when time permits.
Thank you for this video. It's a relief to hear that you're both OK. I think that everything you say in this video is complete good sense. The bottom line is that Pure Living for Life is YOUR channel. I respect and am content with that.
Your channel has grown to the point that you really should have farmed out the editing long ago. There are no doubt hundreds of aspiring film makers in school out there who would love to help out just for the experience and credits of being on a large RUclips channel. You guys need to learn that working SMART is just as important as working HARD.
Hey, just want you to know that I really enjoy all your video's and watch them as soon as they are on YT. I was a little worried last few days, but am relieved now that all is ok. Fully understand any decision you have to make about how to spend your time. Keep up the Pure Living for life-work and all the luck with your new fase.
Take a chill pill Jesse.Your not the first person to build their own house from the ground up. You always have to "twist the knife" when you compare yourself to Allysa. Pound for pound she works circles around you. And by your own admissions many times have cost yourselves time and money. You could not do this build without her..Period! No one would watch or give you money. She lets you "be the boss". She doesn't suffer from being EGOTISTICAL! Good Wishes for your exciting build. Stay Safe 👍
I dont think they will loose many subscribers if they are really interested in the outcome of such a large project but remember whats more important? Videos or completing a roof over your head?
No excuses needed, you two take care of YOU! If I am not able to see your progress on facebook then I will wait for the videos when you get the time! It's been fun watching you guys progress with your house!
I've edited both audio and video, and totally agree with you! Four hours of editing for an hour or less of finished material is normal. Keep recording your work, I can wait for finished videos to be posted later.
Filming your build doesn't need to involve your normal 10-minute soliloquies to make a 15-minute video. Forget all the edits. Just film a wide shot, time lapse it, and summarize the day in a minute or two.
I super agree, if they don't have the time to film I totally understand, but have been doing so much filming up until this point, I think they would regret at least not setting up a time lapse camera so they can look back at it :)
Very glad you two are OK. I'm actually surprised you've been able to knock out this much daily edited video (and I work in film/tv often, so I know just how long it takes to cut something that people will consistently enjoy). In fact, I was involved once in a business venture where I just needed to knock out 20 or so daily stills, and get them edited, captioned, and posted...and even that was hard to do sometimes, when there was a mountain of other work needing to be done! Good luck with this push to the framing event. What you are doing is impressive on so many levels, not the least of which is your dedication to each other. That is inspiring.
RD Jim.....??? You must have just started watching today. Of all of the RUclips channels I watch, I believe this one has more haters and trolls than any other. I wouldn't blame them if they took a few weeks off just to get the venom out from the hits they have taken. Trying to get something accomplished when you are under the scrutiny of a couple hundred thousand "keyboard experts" has to be maddening. Bless them for the progress they have made.
Paul, yes I'm a recent subscriber. But are you talking about people just chiming in on how "they" would do things? or are they getting real mean stuff? I can't understand why anyone could fault this couple for anything. They're upbeat, informative, and for all outward appearances, nice people. I don't get it.
RDJim, there's some pretty nasty people around. ONe guy has posted several times on this video, encouraging Alyssa to divorce Jesse. Useless crap like that. But, they're an encouragement to dream big, seem like nice people. THey work well together, though Jesse can be a bit headstrong. (I am not, ahem, in a position to throw stones on that score!) :-) And how many people will be encouraged by these videos to chase their own dreams? Many, I hope.
This is your LIFE, and we've been lucky enough to watch along the way. Great decision to focus on your house build and all that it takes to get it done successfully!!! I'm SUPER excited for you!
I feel like I am in trouble for wondering where u guys have been. Jess has made it a point to scold us as viewers on asking questions and wondering things. I have followed u guys for a long time but the last few rants I feel like I am a bad guy for being a viewer. This is my first time commenting on ur channel. So I will still look forward to watching ur views. Hopefully the "butt chewing" calms down
Do what you've gotta do to get the house built. You owe far more to those traveling to help you out than you do to us watching the videos. It's so much fun to watch you work through this adventure - I've learned a ton from you and the quality of the videos really has been superb.
1. Take care of your self 2. Take care of your self 3. Take care of your self 4. Build the house ... 100. Publish videos Even I enjoy "the daily show" I can quite well understand what what it does mean to be an "actor" in front of the camera and in parallel get ahead with the house building. Alisa is doing a excellent job in editing the videos, I always have the feeling I'm on site with you even I'm living in germany. In fact your health is the most precious thing you have ( beside each other ... :) ), take care of yourself, respect each other and make small steps in the build if necessary. When we did build our house it was really exhausting, I was running around like a flat tire or even a zombie. Every day I had to get up a 5 in the morning, jumped over to our house when I was coming home and worked there until 10-12 in the night and it was "just" making slots and holes for electrical installations (building houses from wood is not that common here, majority is made of bricks). Beside that we had a lot of discussions with our contractors ( and with my wife as well - color, bathroom equipment, tiles, ... :) ) about times and what to do. Several times I had fights like "I want it that way ! - Why ? - Because I pay for it and it's MY house !" This alltoghether is really eating up your energy over the time and will cause hard times with your friends and partner. So take care, think about youreself, work safe and enjoy what you did build with your own hands. All the best for your build - it you do release further videos I would be quite happy but if you do not have the time for it it fine as well ! I suggest to see youtube as a bonus and not as a must - completely understanding that it in fact will pay some bills in the end ...
Y'all keep grinding that house out. It is inspiring to see you two work as a team to accomplish y'alls goals. I look forward to seeing the progress but understand there is a house to be built and sometimes the camera has to be put down. All in all, great job and keep up the great work!
It's hard to believe that you guys get negative comments. You are amazingly hard workers and you manage to film and share your live with us. I've learned so much from watching you guys learn. These videos will be so valuable to future owner builders. Thanks for all your hard work.
Just remember to eat at meal times. You need the energy for all the hard work you are doing or you will feel tired, frustrated and annoyed. This is probably the biggest deadline in your build so of course the vids need to go to the side. Can you restart regular vids afterwards though if possible? Every week or few days? Your vids are fun. Biggest thing - dont burn yourself out, look after yourselves and stay safe. You guys are fab!
They've actually added around two thousand since they made the announcement that they aren't going to be doing much video editing for the next couple of weeks.
You are my new addiction on RUclips. I too wondered why videos did not come out in the last few days. And my first thought was THIS week, as I type this, was the week the workshop was going on. I hope nobody would think this is a bad idea on your part, this...PAUSE...is an outstanding idea, a necessary idea, and a testament to your commitment to the build, to each other, AND to us, the fans. Thank you. I cannot wait to see your high quality docu-life installments when your time permits. Good luck with the workshop, stay safe, and see you on the flip side.
I often wondered how you managed to shoot/edit/upload videos while working so many hours building your dream home. You are also learning so many skills and coping with all the hard work along with maintaining your relationship. You are both amazing. Don't worry too much about posting daily videos...the journey is the destination. Enjoy your time and keep up the great work! God Bless
Real fans will cherish the quality of your videos when crunch time is over. Good luck and stay safe. You both have been a great inspiration for me to get projects done.
I totally understand why you need to allocate your time around getting you house completed. However, you previously kept us so closely involved with almost daily updates that many of us feel like we are almost part of your project and to be honest, feel a little left out. Not trying to put guilt trip on you, just telling it like I see it.
I DO edit videos for a living and I do it all myself. Trust me, you do what you do to keep doing what you do. Do not let other people tell you to change anything. The reason why your channel is successful is because things have been the way they are. Consistency is key. Take your time. Quality is the most important factor. ^_^
The priority is your home, we can wait. Please don't stress over filming, we all want you both to reach your goal on time. I edit videos so I know what you are up against. We'll still be here. All the best. Thanks for the heads up. We will keep you both in our prayers. God bless!!
My wife and I have been watching you guys for months. I was worried about you, but I figured you were in a mad dash to mill up all of those timbers. Glad to hear you are alright! I rebuilt my house after Hurricane Sandy destroyed it over the span of three years (who am i kidding, i'm still working on it). Sometimes you have to put parts of your life on hold in order to take care of the important things. I love watching your videos. They are instructional, inspiring, and uplifting. I actually used to do some professional film editing and I know how much work goes into it. You have been working so hard to deliver this content. I look forward to seeing your videos when you have a chance to post them again. Keep living the dream! Love from Long Island, NY
the building comes first, really enjoy the fact that your videos are true, no cover up of issues and problems, its nice to see the mistakes and how you correct them.
Every video is a gift, I'm glad that you guys are alright. Your house is #1, whatever and whenever you post a video is up to you. The quality of your video's is absolutely fantastic and I'm hoping that we get to see the rest of the build. Greets from The Netherlands!
Thanks for the update, try to find enough time to enjoy what you are doing. Videos, as and when is great, the world will not stop turning . Instagram is good as well, great comments. Appreciate all that you do and that you share it with us. Best wishes from the UK.🇬🇧
I understand completely! Whenever you can manage a video upload is fine with me! I am not the one building a house from the ground up like you two. I am sitting pretty on the other side of the world with no such challenges, so I feel tremendously privileged to be allowed to share your journey, no matter how erratic the videos are!
Thank you so much for allowing us to go on this journey with you! I totally understand that you have to get everything milled and ready and I look forward to seeing the house build videos when you finally have a chance to post them ! Be safe and enjoy your time with family !
I wasn't going to post but I can't any longer. Jesse's post a while back about how other youtubers get views was gut turning. This condescending attitude toward viewers about how real video editing works. Just stop man. Get over yourself. I don't claim to know to what extent youtube views has helped financially but for sure venders have been a bit more understanding because you have views. Would this up coming workshop be happening without your youtube views? Even if the school was so inclined to to the class would there have been the same participation? I don't make videos so I will not comment to what all is involved. The quality of your videos is top notch and you should be proud of it. I just don't care for the tone Jesse responds to viewers that help generate support that benefits them a lot. That said I have been onboard viewing and have enjoyed every step of the way. Thanks for taking us along. I look forward to new vids.
I support your decision to suspend video output during the crazy busy part of your project, just film what reasonable and easy during this phase of construction and post after the fact what your able to cover. Looking forward to seeing the progress. I love that you post the even the things that show you earning through experience... ignore the haters, it's very easy for them to judge you from behind their computer monitors while they sit there doing nothing that even approaches the monumental project you have chosen to commit yourselves too.
A lot of us aren’t on Facebook (nothing but drama and pettiness), so we have been faithfully watching YT for our PLFL videos. MANY of us have given our hard-earned dollars to watch and keep up with the progress. Me thinks that fame and some fortune are getting into the heads of the “pure” life. I think our eyes were bigger than our tummies.
They don't "owe" you anything. You might be "waiting" for a video but they don't have to nor have they ever promised they will upload daily. Take your toxic attitude and get it off of RUclips.
DARTHGALEN5 .....NEVER said I am owed anything!! I’m just tired of the misleading verbiage. Go and troll the other people who are a lot more disappointed than I am.
Kit Ten RUclips is free, I don't know what you're paying for... And you're kind of bringing (drama) here. Just chill, if they have deadlines for something, it's fair that they're not wasting time making videos. Their house is more important to them than giving us a little bit of entertainment
Good for you guys! Take your time, the house it's the logical priority. Your videos are top notch and I don't care if I have to wait a while. Hope the best for you!
I was getting very accustomed to a daily video, but I/we should all understand. Fewer videos just make me cherish the ones we get. All good things come with time. Thanks for all your efforts!
Jesse you sound a little grumpy, get more sleep....I know your both crazy, and your working insanely hard, so relax I know you'll catch us up eventually. Alyssa, you two both need a hug. Take some time to chill.
You guys are awesome. My wife and I support you both and love seeing how you're doing. Most of all we want you to get your house built and be happy people. With that said have fun building the house and do the videos when you can . We will look forward to seeing them. The teaser at the end made us both smile, those logs are gorgeous!
I am not supersized that your video standards are as high as your build standards and a point of personal pride. Watching you fuss over the beam supports as well as other build quality issues told me that. I have the same issue with my projects, quality can get in the way of progress so easily. Happy to wait for videos you are proud of.
It’s awesome that you have published what you have already! You do a phenomenal job on the videos! Can’t wait to see the workshop videos when you do publish them. Awesome work you two!
Great to see all the positive feedback, especially for this video. I think there is a lot of respect out there for what, and maybe especially how, you're doing what you do. Speaking for myself, I really respect what your doing.
I told my wife you two were getting ready for the timber framing event at your new home site so don't expect any vids for awhile, I was spot on. Having edited my church videos for years I know how long it takes to produce a quality video. Your priorities are exactly where they need to be. Keep up the good work.
thank goodness, neither of you have sustained injuries. For myself, I am more than happy to wait for properly edited videos. Please be careful and safe in your endeavours. I most certainly look for the finished product no matter how long it takes
Totally understandable !!! Just take good care of yourselves and get all the prep work done before the workshop starts. I have no trouble waiting and get a great video... whenever. Home build has to be first. And, they say it will be a long cold winter... so plenty of time to do video editing later.
I think that the channel on RUclips was created with the purpose of passing the whole experience of life that they propose. Showing the difficulties and the best ways for those who want to follow their paths. They were so expecific in so many things and so many items that were getting through the time that suddenly stop posting videos because of the difficulty of organizing the Workshop in time to leave everything ready for the team that is coming, does not make sense. It is precisely at the most important point of the canal that is the construction of the house. All the videos so far posted have gone to this great point and now we are being deprived of this great moment. I'm sad and here at home I was talking to everyone about the great feat of voices. But for me it lost meaning and I do not want to see the house already mounted, but the step by step of the whole construction. Sorry for the outburst, but the feeling is of a great series that ends without solution. Good luck to you and thank you for the videos posted so far.
Exactly my feelings. Everything else vas about getting to this point and then, radio silence. I've been folowing since the beginning and I feel so much let down.
You (and, certainly, we) can wait for the video editing and posting. Concentrate on the things that can only be done now, in the present - enjoying each other (and family/friends), performing the work, and documenting the work. And, by documenting, I simply mean getting video footage. Even if that means no more than a couple cameras set up in static locations. Video editing is something that can be done anytime in the future, but you can never recapture the reality of building your own dream. Thank you for the update to let us know you're well, and thank you for sharing your journey with everyone.
Hello Jesse and Alyssa, We are from Lewiston, NY , just 6 miles from Niagara Falls, NY. We have been watching for some time now and enjoy it very much. In fact we wake up every morning and say " what are our kids up to today" . You have become part of our family!!! Can't wait until you start posting again but get why you are not. Take care , be careful and we know you are having a lot of fun building your dream.
You have to feed the need. The most important part of RUclips is keeping your audience interested. So that means putting out videos no matter what it takes. Or checking in on RUclips live. Or just posting a little blurb as a progress update. Since no one has asked yet, what about your Patreon donations? Those people pay for your videos that aren't being delivered...
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and your journey in this chapter of your life. I just recently found your channel and have binge watched every one in the last week or so. Your home looks absolutely stunning so far. Keep up the great job and remember to have fun while doing it. You two work so well together. Not everyone can make that happen. Amazing job so far. I’m sure we all cannot wait to see the finished home. Stay safe!
Folks, as much as I like following the process of building your house, I was wondering if you were okay. I think your fans can wait (I can) to see video of the rest of the story. Having built my own home, I know how hard it is, and would never attempt to produce video at the same time! Take a break to focus on the essentials, including yourselves. Speaking as a member of your public, good luck, work safe, take the time to measure twice, cut once. The videos will be all the better for the delayed gratification. IMHO. TTFN!
I was always surprised that you all were updating on RUclips as much as you were. Still following you on Instagram and always get the sneak-peaks anyways
You guys are freaking amazing! how you manage to build a house, coordinate everything and upload any videos is incredible! don't forget to step back and see how awesome you are doing
For my part I say kudos - keep your focus on getting your home done. If others are like me it's okay if you do not publish daily, or even if it's real-time. Y'all do a great job with what you've been doing, love the videos and looking forward to seeing your home completed. Thank you for sharing!
Far more important that first of all you stay healthy and safe! i admit I missed and looked forward to the videos but I can see you have your heads on straight and your priorities in the correct order. I'll be patient and look at them when available. Winter is on the way so getting the building as far along as possible has to be at the top of the list. Take care.
I miss the videos, but you guys need to get your house done first. You do such a great job on the whole project, we all can wait to see the videos when you have time. Thanks for sharing!!
As a faithful watcher from my tiny Greek island. I will just wait. We're used to that here; unlike Americans who want everything now. It has struck me that you've given yourselves more work than you needed to at times, but that's an armchair perspective. You're both doing so well in my opinion and managing to keep your marriage together through all the setbacks. No1 is the marriage. No2 is your safety, No3 is the house. No 6, 7 or 8 is us! Siga Siga (slowly slowly) as we say in Greek - will get you there. One big mistake and it could all be over. so I say go a little more slowly and be safe, be sure, be satisfied.
I like watching your videos because you're open and honest about your challenges and mistakes, and quite frankly not trying to be RUclips Superstars but rather, well.. you! As much as I'd like a new video to watch during my lunchbreak I appreciate the fact that you're taking the time to explain what's happening, and I'll happily take any schedule you'll be fine with for a chance to peek into your captivating venture into building a home. In short: Disregard the naysayers and keep doing things your own way - lots of us anonymous spectators from around the world will love you all the more for it.
Oh boy this is exciting. Having built my timberframe, I remember the days leading up to the raising. You are actually doing all the cutting and frame preparation. That is a ton of work. Enjoy the moment! There is a time to be selfish and enjoy the experience. That planer will save you tons of time. Also, you will have a ton of firewood!
Take your time, do things right or don't do them. Get the milling done so you're ready for the workshop. There will be plenty of time to produce videos when the snow flies and the temperature plummets.
Just to say, the whole point is to build your house, the vids are just an entertaining (for us) byproduct, and you are right to put them aside when needs be.
Don't shorten video or skimp on quality! Watched all of them, take your time! I will just have to wait a little longer to see the house built. You guys are great!
Skipping meals and lack of sleep is not good! Y'all gotta take care of y'all. I absolutely and completely appreciate the work y'all put into all the videos. So thankful for y'alls Facebook page for the quick snapshot updates.
Jesse and Alyssa, winter is coming get your house in the dry, and prepare for winter. Share video with us when you have the time. I enjoy watching your videos. Relax when you can, and don't over do yourselves. -Rob
How do you plan to build a house and continue living the lifestyle that you're living when you're going to lose all your subscribers and all of your RUclips Revenue
I did ask on facebook if Alyssa was ok, due to the missing daily videos. So relieved to hear she is ok. Totally understand the time constraints and look forward to future videos when you have time. Good luck with the preparing for the training course and the course itself.
Having a father who was twice Emmy-nominated for video editing, I am acutely aware of the labor involved for doing "quality work". I chose the audio production and mastering route - just to be contrary. ;o) Alyssa, Jesse - not like you NEED anyone to reinforce this, but ignore the trolls. Those of us that are entranced with your story understand. I am undertaking a much smaller scale project - garage/workshop. I have elected to disregard the "edutainment value" the processes involved _could_ represent, but at the end of the day I am much more interested in completed the myriad tasks with finishing the building before the snow arrives. With the climate having developed as it has on "Social Media", my decision to avoid FB, TW, IG, (ESPECIALLY TW,) it has only served to reinforce that decision by orders of magnitude. It's great to see what you produce for RUclips distribution, and I am sure more than a few of us will look forward to whatever finds its way here.

your vow to not publish a video, is ruining your channel.
So...they have abandoned their RUclips followers....that sucks.
Want to know a trick to make shorter videos easier? Blab less, get to the point quicker.
What is 110%. I am no maths mjor but I am pretty sure that is a rediculas mathmatical staement. The fact that I am leaving the channel for good this time ist that Jessie in particular seems to need to get over his self impotance and be les condicending to his/their RUclips fans. To all those loyal followers enjoy the build but I am over and out.
Jesse, get over yourself a little bit eh man? You come across like WE are lucky that you post videos. We are not. You provide stuff to watch and we watch. That's it man.
Not trolling here just giving my opinion, is it me or does Jesse seem super controlling and calculating he knows they have milked RUclips for enough money to complete the build and no longer has to suffer filming, I know someone had to think and someone needs to do but the constant whingeing about labour and then spending ages taking rubbish trying to make it look like he knows everything is hard work to watch, he cherry picks his jobs and then Alyssa will do all the grunt work, I don’t know just my view hope there happy with each other and can build the life they want together and not just the life and home Jesse wants x
I don't think they would have been so far behind if Jesse wouldn't have spent so much time pondering over every minute detail and making simple rookie mistakes which makes them do things twice and sometimes three times over. I mean seriously, who drills into concrete with a cordless drill while needing to install 50 or so tapcons around the bottom perimeter foundation. (remember those videos?) He spent a few days on that and then a few weeks later decides to buy the hammer drill. Finally, I think he misses out on a lot of sound advice from commenters here on youtube. Although the work had already been completed by the time the video aired, he still misseds out on some good tips. Plus he says on their videos that he doesn't read the comments but then he'll still go on youtube to learn how to do something. Nice, will watch other how-to videos but cant even read the comments of your own. I, for one, would be so appreciative for any advice I could get and also would take some time,if just for a few minutes, to at least peruse the comments as a kind of thank you to your viewers. But I guess, to each their own.
they won't read this, they are shit lol... i don't need to be told a person can't find time to upload a video over the course of 12-15 days of any given length.
Why don't you upload some of the videos of your accomplishments for everyone?
I think to latest count you are accusing at least 5 different RUclipsrs of being "Jesse". Is that all you got mike? Your material is getting old troll.
Don't be pushed by other people, it's your workshop and your home so get ready for it, good luck, fingers crossed!
Great to hear your backing off from your extreme daily schedule. From all your fans in the UK - and there are many - we think you guys are doing an amazing job. I was wondering when this moment would come.. It's pointless and dangerous exhausting yourself for the sake of a constant stream of videos. You guys are legends with an amazing work ethic. Thanks for all your efforts so far, we will take what we get. Lots of love from the UK.
Likewise - also from the UK.
She had to edit out him yelling at her too many times. Now he's just sitting in the trailer yelling at the cat while she's at the bar picking up fracking techs.
With the timber framing workshop coming, there is no option for not being ready. Focus all of your effort on that. Video editing can happen when time permits.
Thank you for this video. It's a relief to hear that you're both OK.
I think that everything you say in this video is complete good sense.
The bottom line is that Pure Living for Life is YOUR channel. I respect and am content with that.
Glad you two are ok. Thanks for the update. (Your videos are worth the wait by the way)
Your channel has grown to the point that you really should have farmed out the editing long ago. There are no doubt hundreds of aspiring film makers in school out there who would love to help out just for the experience and credits of being on a large RUclips channel. You guys need to learn that working SMART is just as important as working HARD.
Hey, just want you to know that I really enjoy all your video's and watch them as soon as they are on YT. I was a little worried last few days, but am relieved now that all is ok. Fully understand any decision you have to make about how to spend your time. Keep up the Pure Living for life-work and all the luck with your new fase.
Take a chill pill Jesse.Your not the first person to build their own house from the ground up. You always have to "twist the knife" when you compare yourself to Allysa. Pound for pound she works circles around you. And by your own admissions many times have cost yourselves time and money. You could not do this build without her..Period! No one would watch or give you money. She lets you "be the boss". She doesn't suffer from being EGOTISTICAL! Good Wishes for your exciting build. Stay Safe 👍
AMEN
You will lose all your subscribers by not putting up videos
I dont think they will loose many subscribers if they are really interested in the outcome of such a large project but remember whats more important? Videos or completing a roof over your head?
Their channel has grown by 2000 in the last week
No excuses needed, you two take care of YOU! If I am not able to see your progress on facebook then I will wait for the videos when you get the time! It's been fun watching you guys progress with your house!
I've edited both audio and video, and totally agree with you! Four hours of editing for an hour or less of finished material is normal. Keep recording your work, I can wait for finished videos to be posted later.
Thanks for checking in. Do what you need to do. I wish you well.
Filming your build doesn't need to involve your normal 10-minute soliloquies to make a 15-minute video. Forget all the edits. Just film a wide shot, time lapse it, and summarize the day in a minute or two.
I super agree, if they don't have the time to film I totally understand, but have been doing so much filming up until this point, I think they would regret at least not setting up a time lapse camera so they can look back at it :)
Very glad you two are OK. I'm actually surprised you've been able to knock out this much daily edited video (and I work in film/tv often, so I know just how long it takes to cut something that people will consistently enjoy). In fact, I was involved once in a business venture where I just needed to knock out 20 or so daily stills, and get them edited, captioned, and posted...and even that was hard to do sometimes, when there was a mountain of other work needing to be done! Good luck with this push to the framing event. What you are doing is impressive on so many levels, not the least of which is your dedication to each other. That is inspiring.
I detect sadness, anger, and defensiveness. None of which is warranted. Can't say I've ever read any hater comments so it's a puzzling reaction.
there's a lot of muck. but, you're right. I detect "weariness." They're good peeps. But, they're singed around the edges...
RD Jim.....??? You must have just started watching today. Of all of the RUclips channels I watch, I believe this one has more haters and trolls than any other. I wouldn't blame them if they took a few weeks off just to get the venom out from the hits they have taken. Trying to get something accomplished when you are under the scrutiny of a couple hundred thousand "keyboard experts" has to be maddening. Bless them for the progress they have made.
Paul Copeland - I suspect they should just create a buffer of about a month, that way everyone is only bitching after the fact. It's already done.
Paul, yes I'm a recent subscriber. But are you talking about people just chiming in on how "they" would do things? or are they getting real mean stuff? I can't understand why anyone could fault this couple for anything. They're upbeat, informative, and for all outward appearances, nice people. I don't get it.
RDJim, there's some pretty nasty people around. ONe guy has posted several times on this video, encouraging Alyssa to divorce Jesse. Useless crap like that. But, they're an encouragement to dream big, seem like nice people. THey work well together, though Jesse can be a bit headstrong. (I am not, ahem, in a position to throw stones on that score!) :-) And how many people will be encouraged by these videos to chase their own dreams? Many, I hope.
This is your LIFE, and we've been lucky enough to watch along the way. Great decision to focus on your house build and all that it takes to get it done successfully!!! I'm SUPER excited for you!
I compleetly understand, ill just have to be patient for a while. Good luck building.
I feel like I am in trouble for wondering where u guys have been. Jess has made it a point to scold us as viewers on asking questions and wondering things. I have followed u guys for a long time but the last few rants I feel like I am a bad guy for being a viewer. This is my first time commenting on ur channel. So I will still look forward to watching ur views. Hopefully the "butt chewing" calms down
Do what you've gotta do to get the house built. You owe far more to those traveling to help you out than you do to us watching the videos. It's so much fun to watch you work through this adventure - I've learned a ton from you and the quality of the videos really has been superb.
1. Take care of your self
2. Take care of your self
3. Take care of your self
4. Build the house
...
100. Publish videos
Even I enjoy "the daily show" I can quite well understand what what it does mean to be an "actor" in front of the camera and in parallel get ahead with the house building. Alisa is doing a excellent job in editing the videos, I always have the feeling I'm on site with you even I'm living in germany. In fact your health is the most precious thing you have ( beside each other ... :) ), take care of yourself, respect each other and make small steps in the build if necessary. When we did build our house it was really exhausting, I was running around like a flat tire or even a zombie. Every day I had to get up a 5 in the morning, jumped over to our house when I was coming home and worked there until 10-12 in the night and it was "just" making slots and holes for electrical installations (building houses from wood is not that common here, majority is made of bricks). Beside that we had a lot of discussions with our contractors ( and with my wife as well - color, bathroom equipment, tiles, ... :) ) about times and what to do. Several times I had fights like "I want it that way ! - Why ? - Because I pay for it and it's MY house !" This alltoghether is really eating up your energy over the time and will cause hard times with your friends and partner. So take care, think about youreself, work safe and enjoy what you did build with your own hands. All the best for your build - it you do release further videos I would be quite happy but if you do not have the time for it it fine as well ! I suggest to see youtube as a bonus and not as a must - completely understanding that it in fact will pay some bills in the end ...
Y'all keep grinding that house out. It is inspiring to see you two work as a team to accomplish y'alls goals. I look forward to seeing the progress but understand there is a house to be built and sometimes the camera has to be put down. All in all, great job and keep up the great work!
It's hard to believe that you guys get negative comments. You are amazingly hard workers and you manage to film and share your live with us. I've learned so much from watching you guys learn. These videos will be so valuable to future owner builders. Thanks for all your hard work.
Just remember to eat at meal times. You need the energy for all the hard work you are doing or you will feel tired, frustrated and annoyed. This is probably the biggest deadline in your build so of course the vids need to go to the side. Can you restart regular vids afterwards though if possible? Every week or few days? Your vids are fun. Biggest thing - dont burn yourself out, look after yourselves and stay safe. You guys are fab!
Definitely will lose subscribers by not posting new videos.
They've actually added around two thousand since they made the announcement that they aren't going to be doing much video editing for the next couple of weeks.
You are my new addiction on RUclips. I too wondered why videos did not come out in the last few days. And my first thought was THIS week, as I type this, was the week the workshop was going on. I hope nobody would think this is a bad idea on your part, this...PAUSE...is an outstanding idea, a necessary idea, and a testament to your commitment to the build, to each other, AND to us, the fans. Thank you. I cannot wait to see your high quality docu-life installments when your time permits. Good luck with the workshop, stay safe, and see you on the flip side.
I often wondered how you managed to shoot/edit/upload videos while working so many hours building your dream home. You are also learning so many skills and coping with all the hard work along with maintaining your relationship. You are both amazing. Don't worry too much about posting daily videos...the journey is the destination. Enjoy your time and keep up the great work! God Bless
unfortunately time for me to go
You publish at your own schedule - we appreciate anything that you share! Keep up the good job!
Glad you guys are ok and do what you have to do, I'll still be here watching! Love the house build.
Good for you guys! You made the right decisions here! That being said, I'll miss my daily dose of your videos. Always a pleasure to see the progress.
Real fans will cherish the quality of your videos when crunch time is over. Good luck and stay safe. You both have been a great inspiration for me to get projects done.
michael forcum, Getting to the milestone is more important than money right now.
I totally understand why you need to allocate your time around getting you house completed. However, you previously kept us so closely involved with almost daily updates that many of us feel like we are almost part of your project and to be honest, feel a little left out. Not trying to put guilt trip on you, just telling it like I see it.
i know rite. its like there letting us down. they dont care about us. they just used us and youtube to get paid.
I DO edit videos for a living and I do it all myself. Trust me, you do what you do to keep doing what you do. Do not let other people tell you to change anything. The reason why your channel is successful is because things have been the way they are. Consistency is key. Take your time. Quality is the most important factor. ^_^
... editing is no joke, even when you are proficient in it.
glad to hear you are ok! totally understand, enjoy the build!!!
The priority is your home, we can wait. Please don't stress over filming, we all want you both to reach your goal on time. I edit videos so I know what you are up against. We'll still be here. All the best. Thanks for the heads up. We will keep you both in our prayers. God bless!!
My wife and I have been watching you guys for months. I was worried about you, but I figured you were in a mad dash to mill up all of those timbers. Glad to hear you are alright! I rebuilt my house after Hurricane Sandy destroyed it over the span of three years (who am i kidding, i'm still working on it). Sometimes you have to put parts of your life on hold in order to take care of the important things. I love watching your videos. They are instructional, inspiring, and uplifting. I actually used to do some professional film editing and I know how much work goes into it. You have been working so hard to deliver this content. I look forward to seeing your videos when you have a chance to post them again. Keep living the dream! Love from Long Island, NY
the building comes first, really enjoy the fact that your videos are true, no cover up of issues and problems, its nice to see the mistakes and how you correct them.
Just chill out guy's. Enjoy building your home and dont worry about anynoes expectations from your Audience.....your priority is your home not us...
And also look after yourselves
Every video is a gift, I'm glad that you guys are alright.
Your house is #1, whatever and whenever you post a video is up to you.
The quality of your video's is absolutely fantastic and I'm hoping that we get to see the rest of the build.
Greets from The Netherlands!
Thanks for the update, try to find enough time to enjoy what you are doing. Videos, as and when is great, the world will not stop turning . Instagram is good as well, great comments. Appreciate all that you do and that you share it with us. Best wishes from the UK.🇬🇧
I understand completely! Whenever you can manage a video upload is fine with me! I am not the one building a house from the ground up like you two. I am sitting pretty on the other side of the world with no such challenges, so I feel tremendously privileged to be allowed to share your journey, no matter how erratic the videos are!
Thank you so much for allowing us to go on this journey with you! I totally understand that you have to get everything milled and ready and I look forward to seeing the house build videos when you finally have a chance to post them ! Be safe and enjoy your time with family !
I wasn't going to post but I can't any longer.
Jesse's post a while back about how other youtubers get views was gut turning. This condescending attitude toward viewers about how real video editing works. Just stop man. Get over yourself. I don't claim to know to what extent youtube views has helped financially but for sure venders have been a bit more understanding because you have views. Would this up coming workshop be happening without your youtube views? Even if the school was so inclined to to the class would there have been the same participation?
I don't make videos so I will not comment to what all is involved. The quality of your videos is top notch and you should be proud of it. I just don't care for the tone Jesse responds to viewers that help generate support that benefits them a lot.
That said I have been onboard viewing and have enjoyed every step of the way. Thanks for taking us along. I look forward to new vids.
There goes my daily sitcom. Happy to hear you're ok. And understanding the priorities.
I support your decision to suspend video output during the crazy busy part of your project, just film what reasonable and easy during this phase of construction and post after the fact what your able to cover. Looking forward to seeing the progress. I love that you post the even the things that show you earning through experience... ignore the haters, it's very easy for them to judge you from behind their computer monitors while they sit there doing nothing that even approaches the monumental project you have chosen to commit yourselves too.
Guys... Don't stress it... You're doing amazing... Focus on family, house then RUclips!
A lot of us aren’t on Facebook (nothing but drama and pettiness), so we have been faithfully watching YT for our PLFL videos. MANY of us have given our hard-earned dollars to watch and keep up with the progress. Me thinks that fame and some fortune are getting into the heads of the “pure” life. I think our eyes were bigger than our tummies.
They don't "owe" you anything. You might be "waiting" for a video but they don't have to nor have they ever promised they will upload daily. Take your toxic attitude and get it off of RUclips.
DARTHGALEN5 .....NEVER said I am owed anything!! I’m just tired of the misleading verbiage. Go and troll the other people who are a lot more disappointed than I am.
Jojo LaPhew ... THANK YOU!!!
Kit Ten RUclips is free, I don't know what you're paying for... And you're kind of bringing (drama) here. Just chill, if they have deadlines for something, it's fair that they're not wasting time making videos. Their house is more important to them than giving us a little bit of entertainment
KIt ten sounds like your into pettiness to me. They made no promise on how fast you would get the content
Good for you guys! Take your time, the house it's the logical priority. Your videos are top notch and I don't care if I have to wait a while. Hope the best for you!
I was getting very accustomed to a daily video, but I/we should all understand. Fewer videos just make me cherish the ones we get. All good things come with time. Thanks for all your efforts!
Jesse you sound a little grumpy, get more sleep....I know your both crazy, and your working insanely hard, so relax I know you'll catch us up eventually. Alyssa, you two both need a hug. Take some time to chill.
You guys are awesome. My wife and I support you both and love seeing how you're doing. Most of all we want you to get your house built and be happy people. With that said have fun building the house and do the videos when you can . We will look forward to seeing them.
The teaser at the end made us both smile, those logs are gorgeous!
I am not supersized that your video standards are as high as your build standards and a point of personal pride. Watching you fuss over the beam supports as well as other build quality issues told me that. I have the same issue with my projects, quality can get in the way of progress so easily. Happy to wait for videos you are proud of.
It’s awesome that you have published what you have already! You do a phenomenal job on the videos! Can’t wait to see the workshop videos when you do publish them. Awesome work you two!
Your build,your life,your choice...nice honest ,engageable content.. enjoying your commitment and work ethics..all the way from Australia
Great to see all the positive feedback, especially for this video. I think there is a lot of respect out there for what, and maybe especially how, you're doing what you do. Speaking for myself, I really respect what your doing.
I told my wife you two were getting ready for the timber framing event at your new home site so don't expect any vids for awhile, I was spot on. Having edited my church videos for years I know how long it takes to produce a quality video. Your priorities are exactly where they need to be. Keep up the good work.
thank goodness, neither of you have sustained injuries. For myself, I am more than happy to wait for properly edited videos. Please be careful and safe in your endeavours. I most certainly look for the finished product no matter how long it takes
Totally understandable !!! Just take good care of yourselves and get all the prep work done before the workshop starts. I have no trouble waiting and get a great video... whenever. Home build has to be first. And, they say it will be a long cold winter... so plenty of time to do video editing later.
I think that the channel on RUclips was created with the purpose of passing the whole experience of life that they propose. Showing the difficulties and the best ways for those who want to follow their paths. They were so expecific in so many things and so many items that were getting through the time that suddenly stop posting videos because of the difficulty of organizing the Workshop in time to leave everything ready for the team that is coming, does not make sense.
It is precisely at the most important point of the canal that is the construction of the house.
All the videos so far posted have gone to this great point and now we are being deprived of this great moment.
I'm sad and here at home I was talking to everyone about the great feat of voices.
But for me it lost meaning and I do not want to see the house already mounted, but the step by step of the whole construction.
Sorry for the outburst, but the feeling is of a great series that ends without solution.
Good luck to you and thank you for the videos posted so far.
Exactly my feelings. Everything else vas about getting to this point and then, radio silence. I've been folowing since the beginning and I feel so much let down.
You (and, certainly, we) can wait for the video editing and posting. Concentrate on the things that can only be done now, in the present - enjoying each other (and family/friends), performing the work, and documenting the work. And, by documenting, I simply mean getting video footage. Even if that means no more than a couple cameras set up in static locations. Video editing is something that can be done anytime in the future, but you can never recapture the reality of building your own dream.
Thank you for the update to let us know you're well, and thank you for sharing your journey with everyone.
Hello Jesse and Alyssa, We are from Lewiston, NY , just 6 miles from Niagara Falls, NY. We have been watching for some time now and enjoy it very much. In fact we wake up every morning and say " what are our kids up to today" . You have become part of our family!!! Can't wait until you start posting again but get why you are not. Take care , be careful and we know you are having a lot of fun building your dream.
You have to feed the need. The most important part of RUclips is keeping your audience interested. So that means putting out videos no matter what it takes. Or checking in on RUclips live. Or just posting a little blurb as a progress update. Since no one has asked yet, what about your Patreon donations? Those people pay for your videos that aren't being delivered...
If they ask for money to keep the videos going on RUclips then yes it does have everything to do with RUclips.
Thank you for your time and effort. These videos are a window into your lives. It's a pleasure to be able to share them with you.
I feel like I just got lectured by my parents.....
Go to your room! ;-)
Stay safe but I am moving on..
thanks for the teaser footage at the end..YOU got me supper excited about this build! Cant wait!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and your journey in this chapter of your life. I just recently found your channel and have binge watched every one in the last week or so. Your home looks absolutely stunning so far. Keep up the great job and remember to have fun while doing it. You two work so well together. Not everyone can make that happen. Amazing job so far. I’m sure we all cannot wait to see the finished home. Stay safe!
You guys won't make 375$ per day for long if your not pumping 20 min videos out every day. Good luck!
Folks, as much as I like following the process of building your house, I was wondering if you were okay. I think your fans can wait (I can) to see video of the rest of the story. Having built my own home, I know how hard it is, and would never attempt to produce video at the same time! Take a break to focus on the essentials, including yourselves. Speaking as a member of your public, good luck, work safe, take the time to measure twice, cut once. The videos will be all the better for the delayed gratification. IMHO. TTFN!
Your getting to a very exciting part of your build. It's the correct way to go. Good luck and I am looking forward to your next vid when ever.
I was always surprised that you all were updating on RUclips as much as you were. Still following you on Instagram and always get the sneak-peaks anyways
You guys are freaking amazing! how you manage to build a house, coordinate everything and upload any videos is incredible! don't forget to step back and see how awesome you are doing
dudes a little condescending.
Nice to see you guys, winters coming quickly, gotta do whatcha gotta do!
Good decision. We’ll wait. Be blessed.
For my part I say kudos - keep your focus on getting your home done. If others are like me it's okay if you do not publish daily, or even if it's real-time. Y'all do a great job with what you've been doing, love the videos and looking forward to seeing your home completed. Thank you for sharing!
Far more important that first of all you stay healthy and safe!
i admit I missed and looked forward to the videos but I can see you have your heads on straight and your priorities in the correct order.
I'll be patient and look at them when available.
Winter is on the way so getting the building as far along as possible has to be at the top of the list.
Take care.
I miss the videos, but you guys need to get your house done first. You do such a great job on the whole project, we all can wait to see the videos when you have time. Thanks for sharing!!
As a faithful watcher from my tiny Greek island. I will just wait. We're used to that here; unlike Americans who want everything now. It has struck me that you've given yourselves more work than you needed to at times, but that's an armchair perspective. You're both doing so well in my opinion and managing to keep your marriage together through all the setbacks. No1 is the marriage. No2 is your safety, No3 is the house. No 6, 7 or 8 is us! Siga Siga (slowly slowly) as we say in Greek - will get you there. One big mistake and it could all be over. so I say go a little more slowly and be safe, be sure, be satisfied.
I like watching your videos because you're open and honest about your challenges and mistakes, and quite frankly not trying to be RUclips Superstars but rather, well.. you! As much as I'd like a new video to watch during my lunchbreak I appreciate the fact that you're taking the time to explain what's happening, and I'll happily take any schedule you'll be fine with for a chance to peek into your captivating venture into building a home.
In short: Disregard the naysayers and keep doing things your own way - lots of us anonymous spectators from around the world will love you all the more for it.
AMEN
Oh boy this is exciting. Having built my timberframe, I remember the days leading up to the raising. You are actually doing all the cutting and frame preparation. That is a ton of work. Enjoy the moment! There is a time to be selfish and enjoy the experience. That planer will save you tons of time. Also, you will have a ton of firewood!
You have nothing to apologize for. Love that you're documenting the the process.
Take your time, do things right or don't do them. Get the milling done so you're ready for the workshop. There will be plenty of time to produce videos when the snow flies and the temperature plummets.
You have the right priorities. Of course, I'll miss the routine videos. You have my support. I do peek ahead on your other media. Can't help it.
Just to say, the whole point is to build your house, the vids are just an entertaining (for us) byproduct, and you are right to put them aside when needs be.
Don't shorten video or skimp on quality! Watched all of them, take your time! I will just have to wait a little longer to see the house built. You guys are great!
Skipping meals and lack of sleep is not good! Y'all gotta take care of y'all.
I absolutely and completely appreciate the work y'all put into all the videos.
So thankful for y'alls Facebook page for the quick snapshot updates.
Jesse and Alyssa, winter is coming get your house in the dry, and prepare for winter. Share video with us when you have the time. I enjoy watching your videos. Relax when you can, and don't over do yourselves. -Rob
There are only so many hours in a day and even though I love your daily videos I am certainly patient enough to wait. Keep up the great work.
How do you plan to build a house and continue living the lifestyle that you're living when you're going to lose all your subscribers and all of your RUclips Revenue
I did ask on facebook if Alyssa was ok, due to the missing daily videos. So relieved to hear she is ok. Totally understand the time constraints and look forward to future videos when you have time.
Good luck with the preparing for the training course and the course itself.
Having a father who was twice Emmy-nominated for video editing, I am acutely aware of the labor involved for doing "quality work". I chose the audio production and mastering route - just to be contrary. ;o) Alyssa, Jesse - not like you NEED anyone to reinforce this, but ignore the trolls. Those of us that are entranced with your story understand. I am undertaking a much smaller scale project - garage/workshop. I have elected to disregard the "edutainment value" the processes involved _could_ represent, but at the end of the day I am much more interested in completed the myriad tasks with finishing the building before the snow arrives.
With the climate having developed as it has on "Social Media", my decision to avoid FB, TW, IG, (ESPECIALLY TW,) it has only served to reinforce that decision by orders of magnitude. It's great to see what you produce for RUclips distribution, and I am sure more than a few of us will look forward to whatever finds its way here.
