While watching your videos my wife, two kids, and I have been on an adventure much the same as you guys. We moved to Maine and bought land in the mountains. we have lived in a tiny container home for a year and a half while I build our house. there have been many struggles (frozen pipe this morning) but when the stress subsides and you get to see what you've done and enjoy some of the successes, it's all with it. Keep going. Don't give up. Spencer, from one husband/father/man to another, may your shoulders always be broad and strong enough to bear the burden you feel you need to bear. May your head know when you're trying to bear to much, and may your heart always know you are loved and appreciated for all of it.
I assume you are relatively young to take on such a project in the mountains of Maine. I watch channels in northern Michigan, northern Minnesota, and Alaska. While it is fun to watch, I could never deal with the cold or the issues of the cold. One couple in northern Michigan recently got 40" of snow over a 6 day period, and are expecting more. They have plenty of LiFe4 batteries and solar, but are having to run their generator to recharge them periodically due to no sun but they remove the snow from the panels daily and have had bits of sun, and they have a small wind turbine also to help. They also keep propane and lots of food on hand as they can't get in or out at the moment except on snowmobiles.
@vonheise i just turned 40. I don't always feel young, but i have some good years left. Enough to teach my kids that dreams are worth pursuing and that they are more than capable of taking care of themselves in any situation. Those struggles you mentioned are definitely familiar to me. We've had several feet of snow already. Most has melted off with some warm weather and rain. We are also off grid with solar. I'd like to add a wind turbine at some point, and a micro hydro turbine from the spring on the mountain we get water from.
OK, so I remember when it was just the two of you and how funny and carefree you were. And now, you are a family of 5. I feel so lucky to sit on the sidelines and watch you go through all your builds and births and now the Cabin. You two are amazing and all that.
Awesome Cabin in the woods. Spencer is a remarkable builder and Mackenzie such a wonderful wife and mother. You guys deserve all of it with your hard work. Congratulations!
I live on 12.5 acres that is mostly wooded, in central southern Illinois. It's like living in heaven. I just sit and gaze out the windows and sigh with contentment. Every season is a delight. You see things with each passing season and it is just so beautiful no matter which one it is. I feel the same way you feel and understand completely. Your place is beautiful.
I can remember when you were expecting your 1st child. How hard you worked. I cannot believe how big the kids are now. Congratulations on sleeping for the 1st time in your big tiny home. Lots of love from sunny South Africa
I remember when we put our 3 containers in place. We had to do it all in one go (delivery and placement) for logistical reasons. I had the same problem with one of them having a corner in the air. The trucker who delivered them said that they can get twisted in transit. I put some steel shims in the gap and 8 years later, they´re still there. Congratulations!
It is soooo exciting now that you have that cabin in place. I look forward to all that you two are going to do on the finish. I LOVE all the exterior and interior work you have already done. God has Blessed you ALL.
Ok guys, you got to STOP with the cute pictures of those adorable kids. My how cute. Love where your at as far as the woods. Dont know what state and dont care but its beautiful wherever you are. This was a good one. Enjoyed the home being moved on its foundation.
Congratulations on getting the container finally sited. You all look so happy sleeping in there for the first time. What a view to wake up to!! The area you cleared looks amazing. What a difference. Well done to you both. Stay safe all of you..🙋🏡🎄🎄🎅🦌🐾🐕
You said it sits high up off the ground. Well, Bigfoot will be thankful that he doesn't have to bend over to look in the windows now. Lol. Looks great.
Kens, the joy in your face in that spot where it's dark and the kids have glow lights tells how much joy is in your heart! Congrats on getting this far, so far! Merry Christmas from Tampa Bay, Fl
I so enjoy watching y'all's journey. If we were younger we would've done the same thing. "It's NOT my leg" is the greatest pun you have ever said. Classic. Nuff Said😂
Bear is so cute. We lost our 13 year old female chocolate lab two months ago. She was like our child, and yes very spoiled. The land is looking so beautiful and the views will be spectacular. Love it. Good job!
The views through the cabin windows are awesome! Such a beautiful setting which will change throughout the year. I think my priority would be to build some temporary steps.
I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in Life until $75,000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!!❤️
I raised 175k and Maria Luisa Clare is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Maria L. Clare is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!
It gives me so much pleasure to see Bear living his best life too. Mid Winter Blessings to you and yours and all those in your hearts. May the road rise up to meet you in the new year 🦌🌲🌻
To be in your cabin the first day sleeping had to be so chilling and the kids so relaxing. Love that you are aware of the potential bear out in the dark, you have a lot of guts and I give you credit. Being in the woods is so peaceful and relaxing you all should be proud of what you have accomplished. Your children will know how to survive and be strong. Have a Merry Christmas and have a safe New Year. Blessings
I have a strong feeling you are going to homeschool. You have so much content already with your living off grid. I am so happy for your children! And you two of course. Merry Christmas from Canada.
What a view!! 🌳 Just stunning! Congratulations to both of you. Am absolutely thrilled that we’re now (almost) on a sure footing 😄 ‘Another crack’ …just love your cheeky humor McKenzie!! 🤣
I am so happy for you and your family. God blesses you all everyday and is watching over you all. You are such a great family and your children are so dear. Happy New Year!
I'm so thrilled for you all! 🥂🥳💖 Everything went well, Kenz! So happy you all got to spend your first night in the cabin...it's going to be WONDERFUL!!! Take care, and wishing you, Spencer and the kids a very "Merry Christmas", and Best wishes for the New Year! 🎅🏻🎄🙏🏻
@ 1:10 set the old seeder near your entrance and you can tell people " it's the driveway with the old seeder " then they will ask you what the hell is an old seeder LMAO
The view from the kids window is magical!!! II'm so happy for you! Building the life you are is a blessing to watch! Thank you for sharing with us! Merry Christmas
Fantastic it all went well. You have a fantastic life style the kids are so blessed to have you as parents.. what you do and having three small children is amazing. They are so happy and bright xxxxxxxxx
OH What an exciting video my heart is singing so happy you all spent the first night together. Its magical those woods. Amazing. I love it you are Home Sweet Home
Awesome all the way round! The views, the landing(of the cabin), the family, and the future looks bright! All the gifts are in the present! Now... Have you ever thought about adopting? And where can i sign up? Lol! May your blessings continue beyond this season , and be with your family through all your future adventures! And thank you for sharing, inspiring, and showing what a loving family life is like. It may be the first example for some to see how childhood should be...
I’m so happy for you guys! I love to see the progress happening in real time. You guys dropped off of my feed for a while, but I am all caught up now. I can’t wait to see what’s next! MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! Dave from VA Beach VA👊🏻
I am so happy for all of you on the cabin in it's home. Now comes the hard work, but the way you two work together it sure will be fun watching you two work for your dreams. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
So happy to see your progress up on your mountain property! Been watching you since nearly the beginning and absolutely love how the two of you interact with one another and how much you've continued to grow as a couple and a family! Merry Christmas to you and yours from Arizona! Cheers!
Thank you guys for putting out this video, all other chanells have gone down for Christmas, and will be back in January. Thanks for sharing youre life with us have a very Happy Christmas and a very productive 2025, Love from UK x x x🤓🥳🤯
Wow that was quite the endeavour… but somehow you guys always manage to complete the job … I’ve been watching you guys from the very beginning and it’s amazing what you have accomplished in the 5 years 🎉❤
It’s looking really nice all the cleanup you are doing. Bit by bit it’s opening your view up. You have a really nice spot there for the Cabin to be placed. Merry Christmas from Southern Ontario. 🌲🌲🇨🇦
Wow how exciting to see it finally in place ... congratulations the cabin is in its home. I can only imagine how beautiful those views will be all year round.
So excited to see your dreams for the cabin come alive today. What an incredible Christmas for your family. Love to you all and thanks for taking us on your amazing journey ❤❤❤❤❤ and 1 for Bear❤
Been watching you since you started and love the whole experience of sharing your journey. Cabin is gong to be so good, and watching you do all the work even better. Merry Xmas and a Happy New year to you all.
I would like to wish all five of you a very merry Christmas !! and your home looks so different up on the pillars than it did on the ground so much nicer. You’ve picked a beautiful spot. Enjoy.❤❤
Watching you both from day 1 to where you are now has been such an adventure! Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Merry Christmas to your family and may God bless you, love from Cape Town, South Africa 🎉❤
You have your tiny home in it's position now and I bet Spencer is eager to start getting it more homely, But he tested how quick you can be when he chopped that branch off close to you. Beau has grown so much and so has cam, but the baby's smile is the best. Merry Christmas to you all.
Cool video! The views from the cabin are indeed beautiful. Can’t wait for more videos of the inside and outside transformation. Wishing you all Happy Holidays and a wonderful year ahead! 😊
Who else loves these guys!?!??
Just you
@@SteveV2023Merry Christmas man! Hope you’ve doing well!

So great to see your two “older” children being so helpful in doing jobs around the acreage. You’re doing a great job as Parents !😊
I can remember when you were expecting your 1st child. How hard you worked. I cannot believe how big the kids are now. Congratulations on sleeping for the 1st time in your big tiny home. Lots of love from sunny South Africa
Hello from Cape Town🖐🏻 Also love watching this lovely Family. Such an inspiration for Dreams, Hard work and making family first.❤
You have the most precious children.
Merry Christmas!! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!! You are a very blessed couple with 3 adorable healthy kids!!🎄♥️🎄♥️

Exactly what I thought. Congratulations to you both in your journey!
Not having any experience with containers, I would like to see additional piers at midpoint to limit container flexing.
I absolutely love how Spencer is taking the kids up in the cabin to see how work it’s done! ❤
What a beautiful life you guys have made for yourselves!!!
Aww! It sure feels good seeing you guys in your cabin. It warms my heart! You're beaming Kenzie and that's wonderful to see.
It is soooo exciting now that you have that cabin in place. I look forward to all that you two are going to do on the finish. I LOVE all the exterior and interior work you have already done. God has Blessed you ALL.

Lol!!

Y'all laugh, but...
Yessss family time. Thank you for making my girls and I smile and thankful for what we have. Have a beautiful holiday ❤❤❤❤
Kens, the joy in your face in that spot where it's dark and the kids have glow lights tells how much joy is in your heart! Congrats on getting this far, so far! Merry Christmas from Tampa Bay, Fl
You two are creating an oasis. The foggy mountain forest is absolutely mesmerizing. I'm so envious
Some days I watch these guys and wish I could live in the wild….but some days they make me glad I live in a house. ❤
OH YEAH!!!!!!
I so enjoy watching y'all's journey. If we were younger we would've done the same thing. "It's NOT my leg" is the greatest pun you have ever said. Classic. Nuff Said😂
Bear is so cute. We lost our 13 year old female chocolate lab two months ago. She was like our child, and yes very spoiled. The land is looking so beautiful and the views will be spectacular. Love it. Good job!
I lost my 15 year old shih tsu darling November 28th. I feel your pain. So much of the best love ever just gone. Heartbreaking 😢
What blessing spending your first night all together in your new cabin
So excited for you all. You need some tire swings or saucer swings for Beau and Cam 😊
The views through the cabin windows are awesome! Such a beautiful setting which will change throughout the year. I think my priority would be to build some temporary steps.
Best Christmas ever! Another video from my favorite RUclips family ❤ Merry Christmas 🎁
Aww Bear. He melts my heart every time.
What a great feeling it must be to have your first family’s sleep in the new cabin!
Kenzie, your mother must be an amazing woman because you definitely are!! So happy for your family.
I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in Life until $75,000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!!❤️
I'm feeling really motivated.
Could you share some details about the bi-weekly topic you brought up?
$75K biweekly is extraordinary, please more context.🙏🏻
I raised 175k and Maria Luisa Clare is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Maria L. Clare is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!
Whoa 😲 I know her too!
Miss Maria Luisa Clare is an incredible person who has brought immense inspiration and positivity into my life.
I meagerly kicked off with $2k, and the results have been Jaw-dropping TBH!!!
The kids are going to grow out of that little room so fast, and I can't wait to see you build them their own person cabin.
Scout is growing up so fast!! God bless you both and your beautiful family ❤🙏❤️
Great video as always. You all are a beautiful family and God has truly blessed you all. ❤
So incredibly happy for you guys!!! You guys work so hard and your success is well earned and deserved!
It gives me so much pleasure to see Bear living his best life too. Mid Winter Blessings to you and yours and all those in your hearts. May the road rise up to meet you in the new year 🦌🌲🌻
I love what you have done in life...such a beautiful happy family sharing your lives with us...thank you!

Finally. Now to start enjoying the wilderness. Have fun.
I would call it “The Lookout”, because of the beautiful elevated view ❤. Nice job you two. ☮️
Beau is going to be a tall young lady like her parents.. the kids are growing so fast..the cabin will have some beautiful scenery to enjoy..
It made me so happy to finally see the container craned onto the foundation! You worked so hard for this

Good to see you enjoying your long dreamed, planned, constructed container cabin.

Just beautiful, I can wake up to that fog, enjoy and may GOD continue the blessings 🙏🙏🙏
For what it's worth your "seeder" is called a "seed drill". Looking good guys!
@ 1:10 set the old seeder near your entrance and you can tell people " it's the driveway with the old seeder " then they will ask you what the hell is an old seeder LMAO
The view from the kids window is magical!!! II'm so happy for you! Building the life you are is a blessing to watch! Thank you for sharing with us! Merry Christmas

Why do I get emotional watching a crane????❤
You have your tiny home in it's position now and I bet Spencer is eager to start getting it more homely, But he tested how quick you can be when he chopped that branch off close to you. Beau has grown so much and so has cam, but the baby's smile is the best. Merry Christmas to you all.
Well that's always a good feeling, on a solid foundation. Merry Christmas and God bless amen. 👋😇👍🙏🤍🕊🕊🕊🎄
Cool video! The views from the cabin are indeed beautiful. Can’t wait for more videos of the inside and outside transformation. Wishing you all Happy Holidays and a wonderful year ahead! 😊
