Watching this couple working together so well and getting so much accomplished sure brought back some fond memories for me. About 25 years ago my late wife (23 years since she passed away) and I purchased five acres of land out in the country to get away from the noise and frustrations of living with wall to wall neighbors. We had an old 27' Allegro motor home that we brought out to the land to stay in when we were clearing the property and to live in on weekends. It was a LOT of work but in a short time we had enough cleared that we could have a house that she found that was going to be demolished to make way for a new four-laned street moved out to the property. That being done, we worked like crazy to get the plumbing and electrical completed so we could move in. Sadly, my precious gift from God did not live to see the project completed, passing away from cancer just three weeks after being diagnosed, but enough that she could have the things she wanted built for it. The one thing I did learn from all of that working together was just how really close we grew every day. I had the best wife and partner any man could ever dream of having. Just seeing the happiness on her face each time we passed another milestone just made me work that much harder to get us into the house and having time to relax together and enjoy it. In the 23 years since she's been gone I have thought about selling the place and moving on but somehow I just can't seem to being myself to do it. There is just so much of her still here. Seeing this couple and how well they work together and the feelings that they have for each other really brought a lot of what we had back to me. I wish this young couple many decades of happiness and health as they work to build their dream together.
What lovely yet so sad story sorry for your loss sending hugs from the UK
I really can’t imagine the pain you went though/are still going through.
Thank you for sharing this bittersweet part of your life.. very touching and I wish you the best
@@janeysiegrist5061, thank you. It hasn't been the easiest thing I've ever done but her memory is just as strong now as it was the last day I held her. I just try to remember the blessing that she was in my life.
@Clay Clay, it sure brought back some precious memories. We didn't always have sunshine and roses, no couple does, but what we had I wouldn't trade for anything this earth could ever offer me.
I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.
@@markgeorge8206 Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? been saving for pension since age 18 - company scheme. along the way I hit higher tax, so I added to my company pension with a SIPP (tax benefits) I'm 50 now and would love to grow my finance more aggressively, there are a few cars I still wish to drive, a few mega holidays, etc.
Very true. Upside down and inside out is what the business world and individuals that bought these homes will be. The perfect storm is brewing. Another Las Vegas is on the horizon.
Nah, the wages have already caught up with inflation in several sectors.
What massive layoff?!
Lmfao ppl been talking market crash for years now. You're delusional here in Colorado back since 2020 the market hasn't moved at its highest point it increased if that
2 things.... Wood stove on a wood shelf, and no insulation. Ive built houses for 30yrs, doesn't make scene.
My wife and I did the same thing, bought a bare piece of land, built a homestead. Looking at this video is so inspiring for others who want to do this and aren't sure they can. Makes me wish we had filmed our journey.
You guys did a great job showing how even something that already exists can be turned into a homestead quickly and on the cheap. Helping people leave the rat maze and move closer to nature is a noble aim.
I don't know where you live, but not having insulation inside the walls or at least damp proving it might bite you later on. Love the project, you rock guys!
100% he does great work though its hard to tackle so many trades at once
100% agree with this, in the beginning she couldn't feel her feet it was so cold... then he says we won't be insulating I thought 🤦♂️ what a shame, because insulation is something you'll never regret paying for.
You're right I was wondering what damage may come when storms come their way.
Was thinking same thing
That’s the same thing I was thinking. Maybe they can blow in insulation at a later date when they can afford it.
Great job. Critique: Could have forgon some paint or aesthetics in exchange for insulation, easier to add paint than insulation later. I'd rather be comfortable and look bad, than look absolutely awesome 😁 and be cold. Again great job!
Right? That tiny wood stove isn't likely to cut it in that room especially with no insulation.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ shove it, pusher man.
While I agree that insulation should of came over good looks….having that particular stove and a couple others of similar size, for a 10x10 canvas tent and a 16’ camp trailer. I’m positive that stove is more than adequate for a 10x10 room(now even smaller with full 2x4 framing) and especially sleeping in loft bed. Here in the Rocky mtns, in 1’ of snow those lil stoves are great in tent or 1975 16’ camp trailer I gutted propane heater out of to put wood stove in. That being said tho I would of definitely waited on the paint and stained molding and INSULATED!….at minimum the bare tin roof…
I’d love to find a property like that. Except I’d of made some storage use of the floor trench. But to each their own. Fun couple to watch! Enjoyed video. Everyone will have different ideas. Great job!
@@rb88dhb see
Insulation an after thought or just forgotten!@!!!*
Man what a great woman you got, treasure her with your life man, because our country is not producing such wonderful women anymore, I am widow and she totally remembered me my wife and our journey, wonderful project, really rally wish you the best from the bottom of my heart
Hey there's there's still woman like her but yes hard to find . I like helping my husband aswell but he is not appreciative he's is more a Sargent and father figure been with him since I was 17 and I'm 42 now always took the relationship as if I was more like a maid . If I where to get sick he just leave me there will not get medicine I'll have to try to figure out how to cure myself , recently his sister came over from Georgia taking care of his mom and he seen his sister had alittle cough and immediately went to cvs pharmacy bought her some medicine and halls. I feel bad the way he treats other with more sympathy than he ever does to me. I've never seen sympathy for me at all. Or appreciation. Well sorry for all this posted but keep looking for a great woman. Best of luck.
@@bellabae5428not sure why you’ve not looked for someone more appreciative.

Agree. From the looks of all the comments.... I didn't realize how many people were deprived of Legos or Lincoln Logs.
This video is so Inspiring for all young people growing up in this day and age. I pray that as the world be turning that more young folks watch this and get off a cellphone and choose a life like these two. Dude your lady is awesome just as you are. I HOPE ANS PRAY Y'ALL DO THIS, MAKE A GREAT LIFE, AND STAY TOGETHER FOREVER.
No idea where you two are today, but I promise you won't find any more like you. Love hard, work hard, and fight like hell against anything that tries to tear you apart. Prayers and well wishes for both of you. 🙏
Too much bro
Sheet rock goes on the horizontal, no insulation? Remember when you were cold outside? Good job guys- life is a journey!
I thought life was a highway?
@@kawaiiclutchgaming4627 it’s actually a dance floor
Don't you need heat tiles under the stove? I am afraid your table will burn. Great job...I love watching.
"We didn't get insulation to save cost"
Bruh wtf?
I wish my wife had wanted to do things with me like this!
Skipping insulation seems penywise and pound foolish since the building will not be usable during the winter (and perhaps the summer).
i dont want to know the energy balance of this house :). In summer you get cooked and in winter you freeze if your heating is out for 1 minute.
@@maxz9787 That is why some insulation would be quite helpful. Not enough to make it perfect, but better.
A woman like this seems rare. If they're not can someone please point me in the direction as to where they reside? I'd leave everything I have behind just to be with someone like her.
@@PatheticPeasant She was conspicuously absent from the ground work.
@@markharmon4963 I can handle living the lie through CZcams as opposed to the reality I live in now where I am the handmade and my liberal spoiled wife naps as I do everything to make her life comfortable. This lady may be pretend, but pretending is more work then my wife does. Lol
Beautiful young Lady with her handsome Man. And happy, hard working COUPLE. TAKE NOTE AMERICAN YOUNGSTERS!!!!!!!
You should also think about installing CCTV into your property and some security lights to prevents burgulars and poachers from stealing your animals and stop them from stealing your very expensive four wheel drive car and tractor and tools
Painting the roof black, no insulation and converting a water tank into a barn are three decisions I do not understand. Looks pretty.
Love what you guys have done with this property but I'm concerned about the lack of insulation and actual moisture barrier in the walls of the 10x10.
I did see the note about cost savings and building a tiny home later but all the framing and wallboard are going to end up wasted effort and money due to high condensation between the tin and the wallboard.
I was thinking the same thing. This isn't the first DIY, off-grid video that I've seen that makes this same mistake.
My question too. Where's the damn insulation? Course a good wood burning stove would heat it nicely.
Yea they were complaining about it being cold and then didn't insulate the floor. They're going to go through way more wood to heat because they didn't insulate.
Plus their wood stove is too small. It's going to take way more energy to split stuff that small and then they're going to have to constantly keep putting more in
and the floor... no flashing above the window too.
It’s great to see a young couple working together so well
Quick temporary solution for the ‘cold feet’ problem… As someone who has great difficulty in finding work boots in my size, I have had to wear steel-toed rubber boots with no insulation. I now carry two pairs of ‘hand warmer’ brand insoles. They stay warm for a few hours; long enough to get done what I need!
Or jump in the working truck and blast the heater lol
I strongly recommend that you trench all the way around the your house and work building and put a French Drain all the way around so when it rains you don't have flooding in the house or work shed. It looks great but don't forget the foundation protections that must be done. The flashing isn't enought!!!
All the dirt from that small room was definitly brought in by water incident.
@@MmmChipotle I saw that...hence my comment. And I didn't think elevating the floor with a wood setup was good idea because of the mold that could get under the wood floor if the water got in like it had before. It would have been better to form the present concrete floor and add 6 inches of concrete to get the level above grade. But I understand doing this on a shoe string you have to do the best you can and they have done a great job. I just hate that if a gully washer rain comes their floor will be swamped and they will have to start over.
@@johnpitchlynn3004 my mother's old house was on a cement slab. Always had to dig trenches/canals for flowing water especially in the early spring. We would have to chisel paths through the frozen earth for the water to run. Ground level cement slab, but different climate so I assume there is a huge difference.
@@MmmChipotleAbsolutely know what you're talking about. In the old days homes were built on brick or stone Piers with a stone or brick footing and elevated at least 4 feet above grade. Basements were the same mostly stone or large brick with dirt floors. But French (or Roman or Greek drains) have been around for centuries in one form or another and used even with those raised crawlspace type foundations. They are invaluable in keeping water out of homes. But since on grade footing stem wall slab system became all the rage many have forgotten to ensure French drains are there to take excess water away and in heavy rains homes can and do experience water flooding on their slab floors.
@@MmmChipotle Years of wind can do similar.
I love to see the fast pace work and craftsmanship, but I am wincing at the complete lack of insulation going in. It would be a lot easier to cool/heat that space even with only a modest amount.
Me too. Lots of things not going in.
Sorry little more critical of the surface rust on the roof, walls and ventilation. Built a small room to live in. Never seen any primer put on the building to stop more rust. Hopefully that paint comes with primer in it. Paint seemed flat and worried 20 yrs from now your replacing sheet metal in your 50s or 60s. Also didn't see any lacquer seal over the wood finish on the outside. Wish them the best. Hopefully this is just the start of him making improvements like adding a coat of primer and lacquer once he gets settled in. Also see water that high up look at a raising the chicken pen off the ground and same for the goats. Look into annual rainfall in the area and what extreme bad flooding looks like in that area.
Totally! They were just talking about the cold!! All that skill but missed essential insulation.
@@Nabsolute_ I would too. I loved the whole vibe of old workshop and water tank. Kinda steam punk but with functionality. Would kill to have that property.
Hope they do well👍
Your the only couple I've seen on this videos that show your love for each other
Great video. Reminds me of the project I had about three years ago. My wife and I bought a house from hoarders in June 2019. If you've ever seen that show on TLC (Hoarders), this house could have been an episode. Raccoons had lived in the attic for years and raccoons don't care where they go to the bathroom which meant that there was about 10 years worth of racoon poop in the attic that had to be cleaned out and insulation replaced. Then they had cats living in the house for years. They cleaned out the litter box and put the old kitty litter in the empty kitty litter pails but then they never threw the full pails of old stinky kitty litter away. They stacked them in the basement. There were 22 pails of used kitty litter stored down there. 35 lbs each pail. (That's over 700 lbs of used kitty litter.) It took almost a year to get rid of all the different odors. Because we were on a tight budget and couldn't afford one of those big garbage bins we had to put all the trash in 33 gal trash bags and put them in three garbage cans and two recycle bins each week. All total I estimate that I threw away approx 300 bags of trash and approx 5,000 lbs of recycled paper. The roof had not been replaced until many years after water leak damage had already been done. I worked on the house a lot when the economy shut down for covid (approx 60-70 hours/wk) but had to quit once the economy opened back up. For one, because I was sick of working on the house and two, because I had run out of money and had to go back to working lots of O/T so I could afford the stuff for renovation. But besides being a real confidence builder being able to tackle something so big by myself it has also been a great investment. We bought the house for $5,000 and is now worth approx $235-250,000. I wish I would have taken the time to video all that I did to this house as you did. So many amazing stories about this house project; We took possession of the house on July 10th and the following day the A/C went out and had to replace the unit. One month later the house was struck by lightning. Thanks goodness we had already gotten the house insured because it was $15,000 for that repair. Then there was the ziplock freezer bag my wife found with $1,500 cash in it. And then there was the scanner we found and didn't realize what it was until a guy buying junk furniture from me recognized it, looked it up on ebay where it was selling for $1,900. It is definitely the biggest project I've ever undertaken. You did a great job on this video and on your project. Props to you and your wife for a great job.
I enjoyed the video. A nice young couple; I wish them all the best. I get being on a budget (surely do), but given the amount of money and effort going into this, I don't think saving on insulation, water-proofing, underlay, pressure treated wood, etc is the place to save.
Exactly what I was thinking. If you're going to put all that effort in then you might as well spend the extra money and ensure the place won't rot and stay temperate.
Had a hard time watching this video honestly. 😔 Always love to see the hard work but man, not for the sake of aesthetic over longevity and workmanship. Wish you guys the best but I'd suggest doing some more research to save yourself a whole lot of headache down the road.
Yup...
while I love this idea and both of you did put in a lot of great work, I question some of the steps you did to cut costs. To start wood and concrete should never touch. You should have spent more time in flashing and protecting the wood. Start by placing a plastic barrier between your wood and subfloor. then make sure the grade is not pointing towards the home. By doing it that way you could have insulated the floor too. I also would insulate everywhere. While I am not sure what your plans are, but it seems to get cold where you are. I would have insulated everything. Insulation is not super expensive and it is easy to do when you have access and hard to do afterwards. This overall is a great idea and something that I would like to do if a good property like this ever becomes available near me. Thanks for showing the video.
Right? No vapor barrier? No insulation? Who is this guy? I respect what they're doing but at least try to do it right.
@@icepick1514 100% agree. It is videos like this that make me weary of buying homes. Somewhere some person is watching this video and emulating what he sees. What that individual does not know is that he is violating several codes and the project will not last. Good idea bad horrible execution.
@@therealguru9019 totally. Hard to watch really. They can afford to rent that tractor but won't foot the bill for some insulation and plastic sheeting? Doesn't make any sense, I'm pulling my hair out. Lol.
I see mold in their future
But it looks nice
It's wonderful to see people born in and a citizen of the U...S... A... buying acreage . Prayerfully they will keep it. God is Good!
with minimal cost, metal/tin wall alteration and repair you could ask a local lumber yard to start saving up saw dust for you for insulation like what they used 100 years ago
bought 14 acres... deff cannot live without electricity though... Has a 100x50 foot barn built in the 60-70s.. already repaired all 16 windows, and the pillars up front and the walls outside, repaired the wiring and electrical and water going to it. Only 5 acres is cleared land, the rest used to be but the woods took over.. Im only 1 person and i have only basic tools chain saw etc.. no skid steers or tractors or anything.. so i gatta cut the trees and move em all by hand... takes a lot out of me.. I repaired the entire house inside and fixed the septic, the well, and water filtration.. replaced every light fixture, painted, wall outlet and light switchs etc..
Im all for self sustaining... but here is the problem.. living "off grid" or home steading.. is a full time Job, i wouldnt be able to afford the mortgage if i just took care of chickens, and goats and cows and so forth all day.. So my 14 acres.. is more to enjoy just being away from everyone, no noise, have a few hourses.. and be able to shoot and do whatever i want on my property... Maybe start a little garden for veggies just because... but yea deff dont see how people "home stead off grid" and still pay the mortgage lol. Im not saying people shouldnt look to doing this kind of stuff.. but its ALOT of work... clearing the land, building fences, doing repairs.. taking care of animals... Hell mowing the land is a pain in the butt too.
The main thing i want to get is a tractor of some sort like in your video, but with a digger attachment and mower attachment.. The main problem with this though is they are more than a damn car.. soo im stuck doing everything by hand for now. Money is another factor... doing a cheap T post and chicken wire fence is well cheap.. id prefer wood as it looks better, but a wood fence will cost tens of thousands to install over just 5 acres. all this stuff takes money... ive probably spent about 15k in cash in SUPPLIES alone to repair everything i listed.. Hell just the deck railing wood to repair the wrap around deck was $1200, ive done everything myself.. but it gets old
Just a suggestion. Next time you build a sub-floor over a slab, it is standard to use pressure treated lumber when you are in direct contact with a slab or foundation.
Yes moisture barrier. 80# tar
And insulation under the sub-floor also.
It's a hack job clearly
As a contractor in a state the requires fuck tones of codes and standards that I have to live and breath and die by, there is so much wrong in what they are doing, but holy fucking helllll am I so envious of what they are doing and the freedom to do it "wrong"
@Peter It's their property, their DIY and their budget. They will learn and any mistakes made, they'll have to deal with. No skin off any of your noses. Get a life!
That’s enough dirt to make that shop into a green house!! What potential you have on that property-what a blessing🤗
OK…I’m a nurse. So where are the mask’s with all this stuff you’re inhaling? Continuing on…this is fantastic! Incredible work and I enjoyed this so much! You all are terrific in every way! Love it! 😊
You two have no idea how much I envy you doing this. If I was 55 years younger, I'd jump on something like this in a minute. Good luck with this and I'll be dropping back in to see the progress.
You’ll need a bigger mower at some point, but that will work for a while. Great adventure.
It is so nice
@@lauranminney7793 super 👌
it’s never to late !
@@devinconnor4114 I could cut the grass or other light work. That would free up some of their time for other things.
Nice project. I would put damp proofing between the floor joists and the concrete slab to prevent moisture moving up into the floor and insulation in the floors, walls and ceiling - warm in winter (less fuel) and cooler in summer.
I was thinking the same thing
This thing is gonna condensate like nobody's business and have mold growing behind the drywall within a month. The metal roof will especially condensate and drip on a cold day.
So funy and amateur without insulation..😮💨
Lots of folks on CZcams that have big dreams and not much skill. Putting paint over rust does not stop rust. It's just a temporary fix that looks good on video. I would not use this video as a "to do" but a "not to do".
Loved watching. You'll are so meticulous and did a great job. Most young people nowadays just half ass do things but I was very impressed with all the time and hard work You'll put into it. Good luck in the future.
Being a construction worker myself, you all did pretty good job for it being a cheap affordable build.. and gotta say it come out looking pretty nice..
I JUST said to my husband last week when Danielle was on a video talking about how much y'all had done, I said, "They ought to do a time-lapse video showing how much they've already done"! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS VIDEO! Y'all have done so much already!
Hi Jason and Danielle 🤗 love this video with all you've done 👌 thanks & take care🙏
I look forward to watching ALL the Crocker videos! Ready for season 2 of SHOOT DANG Ranch. I love how much they have been posting the more they post the more I watch.
My wife and I bought an abandoned 53 acre property outside of Austin Tx, the realtor called it jurassic park, fallen trees everywhere, 6 foot high brush, frame of a shed, washed out bridge. You guys hit it correct. Cut a perimeter around the building then work out from there. We enclosed the bldg with hardy-plank , built a work bench hung all the tools, built a 20 x 20 bridge. Then worked on re-energizing the fields and improving the pond. 3 yrs later the place is beautiful. Not once have I considered dropping this dream - it is a piece of heaven on earth. DO IT WHILE YOU ARE YOUNG!!!
Not sure what state you all are in but wool socks and synthetic fleece it’s what you wanna wear in cold weather, cotton is a no-no as it loves to soak up moisture and stay wet which means you’ll get cold and stay cold. Gotta stay dry that’s the number 1 rule.
Look at all the hard work you all have done in a short time at Shootdang Ranch.
Ranch is looking beautiful blooming out and turning green.
Be proud of yourselves. We viewer's are so proud and happy for you guys.
Looiiikkkikmmmmmmjhhyyyy
As an contractor for over 25 years… you all did a great job. Of course, I would have added a vapor barrier and insulation underneath that first framed floor just in case the concrete wasn’t sealed. Also, Thompson’s Water sealer is the absolute worst product that anyone can put on wood.
Having a wife to do things like this with must be nice !!❤
Good job on the fireplace but the tin should have a 1/2 to 1 into gap behind it for air movement so the wall doesn't heat up..
Two things , at the 11:34 mark you installed your window to the frame then sided over the nailing flange of the window, because of this the window WILL leak on the inside of the wall. Also if you have to replace the window for any reason you'll have to either remove the siding if you want to save the window or cut the nailing flange and ruin the window.
I came for the window comment as well. That thing will 100% leak.
Commenting to hopefully get them to see this comment! Thank you for sharing - super helpful! 💗
Leak, there are no jack studs holding up the header. That was a bigger concern for me. You could always use a quarter round or something to keep water out. Not ideal but not the Taj Mahal.
@@ericholdsworth6611 moo
your right about not being installed correctly but wondering if they might get away with it cause the flashing hanging over a few feet above.
Unbelievable how much you all accomplished in just 4 months! Can’t waIt to see the next few months!
I'm always seeing these mini fire stoves.
And so expensive.
If you get a big one , it's cheaper, can heat hater , cook .
A big Bertha can become such a luxury
I absolutely love that you not only didn't paint everything white, but you stained the wood instead of painting it. My pet peeve is everything colorless, it's like 'Dude there are literally thousands of variations on non white, pick one.'. Love the color you chose too. Here's to not being like everyone else.
Hard to believe how far yall have come man time flies! Jason your a heckuva craftsman bud getting it done!
I remember everything you all did. I seen everyone of the videos. People saying you don't do anything, they should be watching this. Probably more than they do.
I love to watch couples who can do what needs to be done and enjoys it as they learn. Love your progress! What you've done is amazing! Keep it up!
I AM a seasoned You Tuber with the Crocker family and I have been here for over 3 yrs and I still enjoy watching this video on occassion. Yes it is that awesome and you will see for yourself and I know you will agree. Thank You Crockers and Danielle too
That building is an old water treatment building , and the recessed concrete pit was where they monitored the water flow, injected chlorine, etc., all because the discharge line needed to be below ground level.. The first room you renovated was the electrical room. Between my dad & I we have almost 100 years experience in that field of work.
crazy place to try to live in I would have left its as a shed or pulled it down
Know all three of you are so proud with every second you've put in these videos to prove the land. So looking forward to seeing the houses come up. Your all awesome.
This was the most satisfying thing to watch ❤️ I can't believe how beautiful you guys made everything look in such a short period of time. So inspiring 😍
Thank you so much for the kind words! We saw what it COULD be, and made it reality! If we can do it, anyone can!
@@TheCrockers you should have turned the hole in the floor into a storm shelter or wine seller depending on if y’all have lots of tornados
This land, these projects, the livestock…this is the dream. I’m hoping in a couple years that we’ll be able to find and purchase our land.
You filled in a storm shelter that looked like it had extreme potential. All that steel,concrete pillars and exterior access would have been worth keeping. Storm shelter below the workshop would have been a smart choice.
It has really taken shape. Hard to believe that it looked like that being we have seen it looking so good for such a long time.
I am proud of what you guys have done. I am 65 year old grandmother. You care for your future while others want to live off the goverment. Good job being done
You both are very creative. You visualized what you wanted to be done and did it. Very, very good. I wish I had done something like that when I were younger. Blessings to you both!
I was surprised that you put untreated lumber down next to the concrete. You did a good job with the construction.
Even if the room were for a short time (maybe used later for a work shop, etc.) insulation under the flooring and in walls and ceiling is almost a must! For heat, a heater made out of a barrel works great. Was at a cabin years ago that used one (for safety purposes they built a fence/railing around it to prevent accidentally touching it in passing) and it heated it up very well.
agreed! i'm so dissapointed.
Even putting the woodstove up high keeps the heat higher up stove on the floor least keeps it down low. Going to get cold feet
I agree. Insulation is cheap. That was the only part of the video I disagreed with. Overall fantastic job.
Asking from Australia...... does she have a suster? Amazin'
I too was surprised at the lack of insulation, if it is cold enough that her feet were froze it is going to be very brisk inside there without any insulation.
This is awesome man. Good for you guys. Not only is great to do everything yourselves, but it's very rewarding to stand back and look at what you've accomplished with your own 2 hands. Well done, you made this look great, good luck with the rest
Same thing Frankie said, well done!!!
No gloves, no mask, no insulation. Sketchy use of power tools. ugh, It's so hard to watch but I can't look away cause I love these types of videos showing transformations. Everyone does it differently and that's ok. Way to go!
I’m just amazed at what you’ve done in 4 short months. All of you are creative and are great at repurposing items you have, I’m anxious to see what’s next!!! You three make a good team!!
Must be such a satisfying feeling looking back at how you have transformed your property, well done and a great inspiration. 👍

@@jesusisrisen8447 nobody cares about your myths.
@@aaronself2411 it's probably a bot. But Jesus is not a myth. Take care.
@@garypeluso3300 Except he is. Enjoy your mythology.
The couple that welds together, stays together. Impressive!
I love everything y’all did to this place. This is my dream property. Y’all work so well together, God bless y’all!
Really great video! Gotta say tho, a bunch of years ago I rebuilt my shed into a shop with just tar paper and siding. 10 years I put up with it, then finally took the siding down and insulated. Gained so much usable time out there…
The way the world is going. Everyone needs a homestead. Im going that direction. Nice seeing you all having so much fun while working together.
And me, I just bought a 50 acres 2 days ago.
@@doverun how much it costed
Refreshing thing to see people forming families and taking on big projects like these. That being said painting that building black will make it turn into a sauna during summer, and I would personally have improved that hole in the middle of the floor to turn it into a storage area, could even be a wine cellar or something like that since it would have a somewhat controlled temperature. Other than that I love the idea and the project, I sort of want something like that
My suggestion, strip bark off of fresh cut wood for furniture use, it eventually can peel off...don't get a cat...lol
This video is a great reminder to all how far you have come in a short period of time! Great job! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey! ❤️
Hey there, just wanted you to know that your journey is totally inspiring. My partner and I just built a tiny cabin on his sisters land….we are ready to find our own property and homestead. Really appreciate your filming so much, extremely helpful. Blessings and lots of love.😀❤️
That's so awesome! Such an exciting time for yall!
@@TheCrockers I don't get what's the point of all the building constant building? Is there a purpose or is it just to make more videos? I'm just confused
Your Partmer? What in the godless degeneracy does that mean. There is husband and wife and there is hell. Pick one, the bible made it easy to understand
It was FUN to rewatch ALL the progress you guys made at SDR!! Sad tho that all that Hardwork ended up for naught & someone else will benefit!! Glad the 3 of you are Moving On*Up to a Better Life at the NEW SDR & Jared down south at Mom*Dad's!!
You 2 are great and you are a lucky guy to have your girl out there working shoulder to shoulder with youb getting shit done !
You both have really been great supporters of each other. Your hard work is paying off. Wish you both great success in the future. The memories will be all worth it!! 🥰❤️
Can’t wait to see what all you have done!
Great video and it's great to see a real woman who is not afraid to work hard alongside her man.
I love that barn it's all galvanized steel from what I saw of it nice find prayers for y'all appreciate you guys and taking the time to share this awesome transformation
Amazing!!!
Your hard work and dedication to your project is nothing short of spectacular and working together as husband and wife is too precious Congrats couple
They make wool liners for rubber boots check rural king or tractor supply whatever your local farming store is
I just came across your channel today, what a pleasant surprise it was. I love creating and building and just about everything y'all are doing. You girlfriend reminds me of myself back in my prime. I built barns, fences, lots of decks, cut down many a tree. Everyone that knew me always came to me for help and advice on their projects. I ran heavy equipment, tractors, chainsaws, plumbing, tile work, painting (I am also a artist). I am so enjoying your channel and I will be going back to the start to watch all the videos.
Same here I love watching his videos. Hi there how are you doing with your family i do hope you’re safe from the Covid?
I am amazed with everything you 3 have accomplished in 4 mths but l've loved it from the beginning ❤
Jason you sure have a lot of skills & talent when it comes to building & repairs. You were brave to paint the top of the building. "SpiderMan" Danielle works so hard too. The hours she puts in & her willingness to try new tools is inspiring! Jarod too & what a "Knight" he was holding down the fort the night of downpours, tornadoes, lightening, & flooding!
Hard work, team work and an incredible vision can accomplish your dreams. Thank you for the inspiring video!
it makes me happy to see a couple enjoy
themselves building
a HOME for their
FUTURE, Hope They
Last for EVER 🙂🙂!
It’s an absolute joy to watch such a beautiful young couple working like two little busy beavers building their dream. This is very inspiring!
You two guys are living the dream. What greater satisfaction can two young people have other than building their dream together.
I wish you nothing but the very best in the years ahead.

When you used the leaf blower on the floor, you blew all that dust into your generator. Not good for the intake. Clean the airfilter and avoid that in future. The gen will run smoother.
Nice shop and tank on level land. Rock on!
Fast start up, I love it when people put their heels in it. Just a Legal fyi, if that was a river or creek you cant block(fill it up with materials) as it should continue to flow to the next property. to make a ramp /bridge the water must flow. This could put you in a very very bad situation with neighbors and the government/county for water right reasons, and cause flooding. other than that keep pushing forward you guys!
Great video and content. Professional pointer regarding your window trim- the vertical side boards need to start from beneath the header board on top, and continue past the bottom board and end flush with the bottom of the bottom board. This is how you maintain proper water shed. First though, you need to wrap the nail flange to the building with window wrap tape. Also, why didn't you use any house wrap/tyvek? You need a vapor barrier. Doing good though 👍
Awesome video-from the beginning of buying the property and all the work and improvements you’ve done , wow 🤩. What a great video you have put together. Great work Jason, along with Jared and Danielle… Proud of everyone 👍👍👍👍
It looks awesome and you work very well together and it's very rewarding to see what was abandoned brought back to life in a short time span I'm just wondering if you plan on putting power and running water in at some point in the future
As a business owner who does that type of work for a living, that project had me yelling "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" to the tv.
OMG. THAT WAS A SHIP LOAD OF WORK, IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. Well done guys. You should be darn proud of yourselves.
I've been watching you for so long and I remember all of the work that was done. Going back to watch it again now has just blown my mind.
THE MOST AMAZING TRANSFORMATION..... Jason you Danielle and Jared are the hardest working people I've seen on you tube. Just getting in there and getting it done. 1.2 million views, I'm not surprised.
You deserve everything good that comes your way. You've earnt it.
Love the progress, looking forward to seeing both yours and Jared's tiny houses being built.
Love, happiness and peace to you all.😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys are amazing!
And you look like you are having fun!!
Great couple , a lot of hard work!!
All the best to you!!
This is my dream I'm working everyday towards! No insulation is crazy but I'm not the one sleeping there lol happy for yall! Looks awesome
