The only thing that saddens me is how incredibly rare family's like this one are these days. This is the standard all American family's should strive to meet.
      So to this family I say keep spreading the knowledge and the love. Your videos will teach many that watch. But your family will inspire many many more. Just imagine if someone could put your passion, joy, happiness, love of family and willingness to work hard into a pill. This world would be so much better for everyone.

But otherwise, this is a very economically built house.

Now I will grant you, people that know nothing about how things are built, have no business building anything anywhere. But someone that is knowledgeable about code for proper framing, load bearing points for the roof, electrical, plumbing, etc, does not need interference from control freaks in gov't.

      One of the best things we've ever done for our family is to eliminate anything that's derived from cow (meat, dairy milk, cheeses etc.) The consumption of beef and dairy has been linked to hundreds of ailments including such things as asthma and definitely all sorts of cancers. A little goat milk and cheese occasionally is fine, but stick with alternatives like almond or coconut milk. Best to your family!

      Cecia Dobrev Do you really believe that the powers that be, want the public at large to see a family building without a mortgage, permits, fees, architects, contractors, and general interference from government officials? People like this destroy the paradigm that allows the parasites in the government, banking, real estate, and construction industries to feed off us. This family is a collection of heroes!

This is cool that you have so many family members that can help and have incentive to help because they have a stake in getting this built. Also it keeps the family together...I can imagine even when the kids marry they can stay in the compound, and I guess if you need more room, you can just add on.. where did you all get the neat ideas?? ALSO look at the money savings because you know what your doing, and saving on labor.. I will be following your channel.. my one phobias is bugs, especially SPIDERS, I vision bugs being attracted to the natural products . I know it's silly but I would not be able to sleep inside if I feared the Bugs... its great that I suppose you all pool your money to built your homes.

    Came here to skim the video, but stayed for the entire thing, love it. Only concern was with no masks working with insulation, paint and dust in a closed space. Also nice tip for insulation is to wear long sleeved shirts and gloves, and then taping the gloves to the shirt so it doesn't get into the gap and causes itching.
