Swaying is what you and I do when either of us gets on a ladder..until we land on the floor......the shelves are bowing....lol. I know you get my humor....Great job on the shelves, Caleb. Love what you are doing with the pantry and the 2 gallon buckets. I have the exact same grinder on my countertop. Great video- I love a good pantry video- that gives me ideas for my pantry,
Thank you! Lol
I’ve never heard shelves that are bending in the middle with the word “swaying.” I’ve always said and heard sagging or drooping. It’s fun to hear how people use words differently. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Ahhh lol you are the 2nd one to say that! I’m laughing because I’m my head I would never of thought to use a different word! Lol
It truly does depend on where we are from.
You have heard of “nesting” as you prepare to deliver….what you are doing is what my mom called “hunting for robins”!! The phenomenon that women experience as winter is coming to an end, but to early to spring clean!
Any news on the basement steps?
Please use that ladder!
Until our next visit…. Keep hunting the robins!! ❤Momma G
@@lauragroux4444 I love it! We are going todo it! Aaron says soon! Lol
@@modernhomesteadalaska your Ohio momma G will be pleased and relieved!!
I totally have pantry envy!! Beautiful & organized, great job.
Wow thank you that’s so kind
Pantry looks wonderful. I keep on changing mine and moving stuff around. I feel like pantries are a constant work in motion from how much we use things from them .nice job.
That’s exactly right thank you
I too am ready for warmer weather... 😎
It’s coming fast!
North Idaho here. Today I am thankful that there is no snow just rain. Hallelujah!!
Oh nice! No rain or snow here lately! Fingers crossed!
For added support on those shelves, you could add 't' brackets. (The flat t bracket things. I do not remember the name of them.) My sweetie did this with one of my tall cabinets in my craft room. When I got the cabinets, first, not all the parts were added, we had to go back to the store for more parts. Second, the back of the cabinet was only *cardboard*! We were like "What?!" So he added some I think masonite (melanite?) board to the back, plus put that 't' bracket on the bottom then added like a 'X' crossing on the bottom for added support as well. I've had that cabinet for 10 years now, it's never failed me since. He also added the 't' brackets (thin but strong flat metal brackets kind of thing) underneath my craft table for added support. (Also 10 years old, still standing.) Sooooo nice that your kids are such a help to your family. I wish our kids weren't so busy working so they could help us more.
Such great ideas thank you for sharing
@@modernhomesteadalaska You're so very welcome sweetie! I love you and your family and beautiful homestead! Thank you for teaching me so much! Stay blessed!!!
My pantry is always changing. Probably reorganize/renovate mine 4 times a year. And pantries are very personal to meet your needs. For years i canned everything except jams, jellies, etc in quarts. But now with just 2 of us, its all pints.....Great job 🥰
That’s a great point! Not only is it constant work but it does truly adjust for the season.
I have pantry envy! We live in a very small house, so my "pantry" is broken up into a bunch of smaller spaces. It works, but I have always dreamed of a huge, airy space like you have. Great job organizing!
Ahhh you are so kind. When we found the house I took a whole room to make this pantry a reality over a dinning room. Funny the Scarface but I agree it was worth it. So much appreciate the compliment, I love the room
I LOVE your pantry! I can never understand why people put all of it into cupboards and then you can never see what you have or what you are out of but with yours you can easily see visually when you’re out of stuff. I try to find Joy in every day and usually I find it through counting my blessings which in a lot of ways is similar to how you say you look for gratitude in each day. I’m grateful for your channel if I ever get my dream home my pantry will be similar to yours! I would absolutely LOVE to be able to create menus and cook on a daily basis in a kitchen as incredibly stocked as yours!! All those grains are incredible!!! Is that for a long term approach or are you planning on using your grains to make all of your breads and wraps all home baked in the future? I sure would love to follow you on those recipes! I looked at purchasing one of those grain mills and they are EXPENSIVE !!! But I’d love to be able to make Einkorn bread and flour because of the quality of the grain and that it’s apparently one of the only original grains that has not been messed with or genetically modified from what I understand? I’m also looking forward to seeing your results of your egg yolk cheese that you were salt drying? How long does that process take? Love hanging out with you, keep up the content!!! It’s terrific!🥰🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦
Wow this was just such a beautiful comment. Thank you so much.
it's just beautiful ..... i heard "cherry pie" ??? oh cool, I hope you will film how you make it ;)
I love cherry pie!
I love watching you
Thank you I’m happy you are here
Job well done. All that food would fill my garage. Our emergency food supply is Ramean noodles!😂
Hey any supply is better then no supply, I started with the same as you and built up! The kids still love the noodles
Your pantry is super Jessica. You have done a great job. So organized.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your pantry and all adjusting to make improvements in your pantry
Thank you for watching o love sharing it!
Looking good 👍 I live in Belfast NI in a apartment with my son iv been watching you channel for a while now so iv turned my two built in cupboards into my pantries big thankyou to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow that makes me so happy I love it!!
Your pantry is really coming along, it looks great. Thanks Jessica. 🌷🇨🇦
Thank you I appreciate that. I am loving it.
Nice set up I so struggle with being organized in a small space constantly changing the storage set up and I need to make sure it’s all earthquake safe love the video it’s nice to watch someone organized 😀
Yeah I’m needing to put the earth quake supports up too!
Very organized and user friendly Jessica. Be blessed.
Thank you I do try
Nice pantry.
Thank you
You are such an inspiration to watch. I love you channel. So blessed!
Thank you that’s so beautiful
So organized and easy to use! Love it
Well thank you that was so kind!
Beautyful pantry great job,gave me a couple ideas.
Thank you so much
Really can tell the swaying on the shelves that aren't supported. Crab apples are a favorite in my house too. Your pantry really looks nice and organized
Seed I knew swaying was a word. It’s funny they are already straight by putting weight on the sides abs the support under it. The crab apples are a dream!
@@modernhomesteadalaska I used to make crab apple roll up for the kids now my one daughter still does it for her kids.and the crab apple sauce. I make a Turkish candy like Apples and Collets with the crab apple sauce and put up a couple cases of the juice. I put 1/4 to 3/4 sparkling water and sweeten to taste. I hope you find many uses for crab apples maybe in cakes or smoothies how about some popsicles? I am sure their is a business opportunity.
@@ravenlaughs9757 could I just blitz it us and put it in the dehydrator?
Bowing is a better word to use. And the size of that pantry is pretty awesome!
We were all saying earlier I think it’s a “where you are from” use of words around here. Lol even with all the choices of words my brain says swaying down! Lol
@@modernhomesteadalaska probably so! That pantry is great! maybe larger than my kitchen...lol Townhouse living...
You just gave me a great idea Jessica. I have been looking for how to utilize more space.💡
Love it!!!
I am always mesmerized by your organizing!!! You are so delightful & positive! Have a wonderful Blessed Week. 💜
Ahh thank you that’s so kind
Absolutely love your channel! Praying for y'all! from Mississippi!🥰
Thank you so much
Awesome video ,you have been a very buzzy bee ❤Thank you for sharing
Lol thank you I’m always just buzzing around
Hi Jessica and sweet family! When you have a family to feed, it takes a working pantry to make life easier. You definitely have a dream pantry. When my kids where young I had one, no where near as nice as yours, but it was functional and served it’s purpose. I had a basement and I stored my garden potatoes, onions and other vegetables in. The biggest part of the basement was my husband’s for his tractor, high lift and what he called his tinker toys till we built a large building to house his equipment and tinker toys. I hope you and your family have a blessed day!
I love it! And I have also turned TV cabinets and closets into pantry’s. Lol but when you build the dream house it must have the dream pantry right? Lol my basement as you know has a dirt bike and a log splitter in it. It’s a what to call a mess oh yeah a catch all space! Lol
@@modernhomesteadalaska it seems to creep into basements, lol.
Great Whole Foods! I don’t see junk food. Great job
Oh thank you. Not that we don’t do some junk, especially on the go or traveling. If it’s not in the pantry it’s not daily or weekly. Only way I have found to not have junk as a staple.
Thank you so much for watching
The pantry is looking great with the new additions to it , well done
Thank you
Hi Jessica! You are the best at improving and updating things! Can’t wait to see more!
Yeah so kind thank you
Dream pantry - love it!
Thank you! It truly is my dream I need to punch myself some days!
Looking good ..I can see them spiced apples throw over some cream cheese and eat with corn tortillas chips as a snack…yum yum
Oh really now I need to try that!
Great job, Caleb! Jess, the pantry is really looking fantastic 😍 and one can definitely tell with all the adjustments that it's working for you. I'm grateful for the inspiration 🙏 that you bring. Thanks for that! Take good care!!
Ahhh thank you you are always sooooo good to me!
Beautiful pantry
Thank you so much
What a great help Caleb is for you! I love, love your pantry! You are such an inspiration to organize any space. Awesome job! God bless you all!
Amen! I couldn’t have built this joke without him
Your pantry is amazing!
Thank you
Love how organized and easy to find things are! So random but your floors are crazy clean. Not one dust bunny! I’m super jealous ❤😂
They are only clean because I cleaned them for the video! Lol that’s why I took the jars off the floor! Lol video tricks
Oh so wish I had room for a pantry like that 💗
Thank you I’ll hope you get one it was my dream.
LOVE your pantry!
Thank you so much
Hi sweet one! I envy your pantry so much!!! You are so organized and always trying to stay on top of all of it. I am so grateful that I found your channel and made such a lovely friend!!! Big hugs and many blessings!
Oh wow you are so amazing to my one of my biggest cheerleaders!
Wow you are amazing the amount of work you do everyday to maintain. You have certainly thought things through love the set up. Love your home. So happy to see your smiling.
Oh wow thank you! I do ket it fall apart then put it back together. But thank you fir seeing how much work it takes.
Thanks Jessica, it's all looking so good. Bet you can't wait for the growing season so you can replenish your shelves.
I did email you re last video, btu it was returned this morning as i'd put in wrong address on it ...
So thank you for sharing your story, it took courage for you to do so. I have worked with addiction and i know it can be so very hard... some think that as you walk out the door you are 'cured'! Everyday is a struggle, so good job to you.
Ahh thank you so much. You mean the world to me! I appreciate you
Love your pantry!
Thank you that’s so kind
Love being in your pantry with you ❤️❤️ Your pantry is just awesome !!!! All your hard work and budgeting on show to reward you👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 Love from the UK x
Wow thank you honestly! It’s one of my favorite rooms.
I love your pantry😊
Thank you so much
Enjoyed working with you this morning. Looks really nice ❤️
Thank you so much! I hope you got lots done!
@@modernhomesteadalaska 🤣🤣🤣
You have a beautiful pantry, so clean and neat, it’s my dream pantry and it shows your pride in home canning. It’s a lot of work initially but once’s you have mapped out how you want things displayed it makes your life easier to figure out what needs to be purchased. Great job, I love it. What I’m grateful for is my kids and grandkids, I took my three grandchildren this weekend and we went on a lunch date and to the play park, we played dress up and did crafts, my girls are nine and four year old twins and I’m grateful for muscle relaxers lol
Ahh I can’t want for those days! I miss little ones around. Thank you so much.
@@modernhomesteadalaska the little ones keep me motivated and mobile no matter how much pain I’m in, I just can’t say no to them. Your day won’t be as far away as you think, suddenly the years have flown by and you two will be bouncing grand babies on your knees ♥️
I put shelf liner so no scuffing or paintin n it looks like Grey barn wood
Great way to protect the shelves
You are fortunate to have help! My husband still works so I try not to ask too much from him.., but he does a LOT for me! Your pantry is awesome!
Thank you I do appreciate my help for sure.
Hi. I am new to your channel and very much enjoyed the tour and your organization. By adding all the 2 gallon buckets, you might be having a little trouble finding the one you need. My suggestion would be alphabetizing them.
Great idea thank you abs welcome!
I really envy the way you are constantly thinking of your storage and prepping and getting things canned and stocked up and also with learning the details and science of the gardening to do your best with it and get the most food possible etc. I wish I had the space to do extra storage, and is Kodie still working on her cookie business and how is she doing with it?
Thank you that’s so many kind words. Kodie has slowed. I hope someday she can get a good truck that is just cookies! But that’s a dream. She will either make it a success or be the worlds best cookie lady that always gets invited to bring the cookies!
Hi Jess hope you all are well.
Hi friend!
❤❤❤❤
Where did you learn to organize, I only dreamt of such a pantry many years ago. I found your channel by accident and I am trying to watch everything you have out there. Take care, be well. Looking forward for our next visit.
Wow that’s great welcome. I show everything. I did work on playlist if you like one subject over another. Hope that helps.
Oh as far as learn these crazy ideas comes out of my head. Don’t know how I learned it I honest just dream these things up.
Following from Palmer 😊
Yeah hello!!! Neighbor!
@@modernhomesteadalaska hello!!! Where are you getting your 1/2 gallon jars and those bucket lids?
When will you complete the basement stair entrance? I would hate to walk outside every time I needed something from food storage. In do time I’m sure Aaron will get to it. Busy man!
Lol he will get to it. Truly this will sound funny but there are days that the no steps cause me to get dressed and go outside. And I often end up spending more time outside. But no promises as life could get in the way. But soon
Is this the conclusions of the last pantry reorganization that you didn’t finish? Just wanting to know if I missed something. I love your pantry!! We will eventually remodel a room and turn it into a pantry. I like some of the features you have.
Sort of. I have not made any you missed I don’t think. But it’s not the end of pantry videos. They are always changing and shifting so I’m sure we will be back in the pantry
❤❤❤❤❤
❤️🥰
I enjoyed the video. Looks great! I was just wondering if you found an alternative area for your staircase to the basement.
No we have a larger of it happens plan fir the basement and garage. We will see if it comes together.
Watching the video now… I remember Mindy’s pantry after earthquake. Do you get them where you live? I see some shelves you have black boards across. I really love your pantry.
Yes and now that we feel we have the max shelves I’ll getting the earthquake boards painted and installed like the other side.
I just got a bag of dried peas @ Walmart Friday. How long is your expiration date? I really like how organized you are.
I use mine or move them into Mylar within the first year. From then they have a 30 year life. So if you are starting a long term pantry beans are the perfect way to start. I’m canning right now 4 more jars of beans I have done a few dozen the last couple days video coming soon
I envy your pantry. I only have a limited amount, there is no further space and unfortunately my husband does not understand the point of stocks..
Do you keep a log of stocks? And you label the shelves with the quantity that is there, so that you can oversee your stock at a glance. Good work from both of you.
Great points. I keep a spread sheet. But I’m visual as far as what I need goes. If you watch my basement stock videos. I just look in the tires if something is low I order it. We are talking dry foods with long shelf lives here. As far as canned goods in my other pantry I have a rolling system that allows me to know by number how man of a canned food I need. Hope that helps.
So can you make halibut salad in place of tuna salad?
I think it’s good like that or on salad. Crackers
How do you like the nutrimill? I was looking at them, Komo and Mock mills.
I love it? My mom got a different brand I’ll ask her and let you know in a video later.
@@modernhomesteadalaska thanks so much. Greatly appreciate it
What do you put in your canned Collards?
Go to around min. 12 in this video! Or you can watch it all but this is how I made them. Dream!!!
