Your fundraiser is truly a gift to those in need. Jeremy has become a great builder. You all have become a true team! Thanks for inspiring others along your path!

Thank you for all that y'all do.

    I so love watching you kids build such a lovely life for your family. I am blessed to live on our little farm with my daughter and her family and I’m watching them build their life with my sweet grand babies in real time. What a blessing!!!
    Thank you for sharing your life!!!

    Awe, poor Whiskey 😢😢😢 it will be good for him to be with others like him. Good job Blue!!! And, you did all that while Jeremy didn’t even know, lol 😂. Quick ride for the littles. Love you guys. I’m jealous of your snow. We’re in a little house on the prairie on 10 acres in IN. 5 of that being woods. My hubby’s little piece of Heaven. We lived in the woods of MI for 12 years. Got transferred back to IN in 1998. Since my hubby had to leave the woods I had to find something with woods. He loves his little 5 acres and God has provided us with venison and other small game for the freezer. We are blessed and we love to see all of your blessings of provision. Continuing to pray for Jeremy’s back. Father’s richest blessings to you ALL!!!

      From before they moved west, I watched. My goodness, when are they going to stop building? Build the house.....build the garage, build this apartment.....every time I tune in, they are building something. Im getting so tired of seeing them hang drywall, mudding, working on a roof, its so repetitious. So, I will continue to tune in, about once a month, if that.....to see if there is anything NEW. If not, I will only tune in bi-monthly. Much as I love the family.......

    Things are coming together nicely. I agree that running the boards horizontal would not be the best. But rather than vertical, I would suggest running them diagonal either in a V, straight across diagonal or do a diamond patter - it creates a bit of waste but would look nice. I would not paint the wall but rather leave it natural. Good closing remarks.

    I think you should do stone on the accent wall in the bedroom.

    Hi when you riding the horses you should have back support in case you have a fall it will protect your back.

    What a beautiful life! I always look forward to your vlogs. You really do need to turn off the noise and do a little bit of nothing sometimes 😊 I totally get it. Keep plunging on as what you and Jeremy are creating for your children and grandchildren is PRICELESS!! LOVE IT!!
