If the metal sheathing that was given to you has holes in it from a previous installation, I have a hack for you. The shiny metal duct tape will stick to the sheathing and you can mix some JB weld epoxy to cover the holes. It's a cheap fix that works. For the summer, if you like cantaloupe, it's about 90% water, is a sweet treat, and has a lot of vitamins. You are making great progress on the house. Best to all!

aren't they....self-reliant?

I give you guys a lot of credit for taking care of older Crew.. I feel like it would be like a father or grandfather that starts to have bowel issues too.. Just as our parents cleaned us up as kids.. the circle comes around.

You two and your project are probably becoming the "talk of the town!" 👍🏼

What a good boy during his bath

The episode was worth the wait. My heart and spirit are with OSRL and Crew as he enters his twilight days. We all love you and please know we are here to give as much love and support as possible. God bless and keep you. Jess thank you for the health encouragement and grace in intimacy you present an often difficult conversation. Your help ,helps me.

My favourite channel 👍🏼🇨🇦

I want to thank Jess for your openness concerning your diagnosis for autism. What you shared this week is vital to me in my journey to learning how to live with my situation, dealing with my diagnosis.

Thanks community for helping these persistent hard working people 🙏

Thanks a lot to the people that are helping and the others that are going to . Blessing to all ❤

I also am a higher functioning autistic... I too forget to eat, drink, etc when I'm focused on something... That actually helped me in the military

Excellent and well deserved news! Very happy for you guys!

Jim if you’re using metal, you need to come down like 5 1/2 or 6 inches from the peak to the center of your top boards so your Ridge cap will have something to fasten to You really need to know the dimensions of your ridge cap !

A great part of our week is watching your video. You bring a lot of joy to our lives. Keep up the good work. We Love you guys.

My old Shepard cross just passed she was 15. She too left me messes. But she left great memories too. The night she passed was the first time in 67 years I ever slept without my dog in the house. We always had a dog.

I can totally relate to Jess forgetting to eat and drink! I get working and don't stop all to often; which I made myself pretty sick a couple weeks ago because of it. I'm a female in NM, building a 15' earthbag dome and recently finished a cob chicken coop that I could live in if I wanted! Lol I love your channel. You're the only ones that are building the dome that I've wanted to build since I was 30. I'm 45 now and decided to take it on even though I don't have help. Seeing the 2 of you build a 20' dome gave me confidence and the push to go for it. I hope you continue to make videos because I really like hearing about things like the temp difference and such while I continue my build. Thanks for putting yourselves out here for us to follow your journey! Be well❤

Congratulations on your build. Out here in nm....my ancestors built many a structure with straw and dirt. You are fulfilling a dream I had when I was yr age. 😊 ❤❤ best regards and respect..🙏🏼

Hydration is one of my personal problems as I have ended up in a hospital in Thailand twice. I actually live in the UK, so when I go to Thailand with my wife, I have to remember to drink lots of non-alcoholic fluids.

Monofocus is both a benefit and a problem for those of us that are neuro-spicy so to speak. Forgetting everything while you focus on something you enjoy is awesome…until you have to run to the bathroom at the last minute. XD

How wonderful. Know about a grateful attitude.. its beautiful ❤

'The mud slide' lmao. I'm sorry for laughing. Man you guys are doing such a great job out there. So happy for you

Jim, you be wise to add support boards to all the horizontal beams that connect to your posts. The screws or not sufficient in my experience. The house is looking great and coming along real nicely

Hi great to see you again today. It was wonderful to see Crew I've been missing him. Love to you all ☆

Kudos to you Jess the more you talk to us the more we want most of us all have a handicap of some sort so you make us all stronger

Everything you two work on is amazing to me!!!!!! Best of all things to you both and congratulations on the progress. Crew is just getting old like we all will if we have the privilege of the older life 👍 Take care and prayers to you 👋👋 🐾🐾 - Texas

Awesome community

It was nice seeing Crew,doing ok.The project is moving forward and looking great.You will be done in no time.Just be careful and stay hydrated!

Great progress on the build and such a blessing from your generous subscribers

Am neurodivergent too called audhd (both adhd and autistic. I have watched a few videos of your channel and felt connected. I only have an air conditioner because someone gave me a old one and a neighbor stopped by during the heat wave and offered to install it. I was already halfway through and just existing in the heat. The cat really notices and appreciates. And I get I'll with the weather too. So, I hope you're well. The more we share about ourselves AND build community, the more we ALL can be our authentic selves.

Y'all are getting things done again today.

Yes it's important to stay hydrated now that we are hitting triple digits. My son had to go to the hospital to get 2 bags of fluids. He works outside, thank goodness he was ok could have killed him. ❤❤

You two are amazing and I love watching you build your home - keep up the good work and take care of yourselves in the summer heat!!!

Set alarm on phone at certain times for h2o

Do you guys have planned drawings for the new structure? I am curious how it will tie into the dome.

I agree.. they have walked it out and walked property to show us.. but a layout would be fun to see.. and it's OK if it changes.

You are very welcome. I merely watch and like videos, but it is a joy watching you two doing what you're doing.

Hi Jess and Jim, wow what a donation just when you need it. It is great to have such things come as they help keep us on track and boost our energy to take on more. You both are looking well and I do like how you both work together. It was good to see Crew. It will be great to have that excavator come after the delays, looking forward to that project. Stay safe.

Awesome on getting your roof framing done and the free steel, who can complain about that? And now you got the excavator coming things are really going well.

I hope you read what Jack 333 says in the comments. Sounds like he knows his stuff guys.😊

I send myself Google calendar Tasks to help my memory.

God works in the most mysterious ways. Keep up the good videos. God bless

Incredible accomplishments and blessings!

You deserve everything, the love you show for each other and your animals is heart warming.

12:55 Jess: "... it kinda brought tears to my eyes..." She forgot to mention: "But they dried up before they could roll down my cheeks because it's over 100° every day with almost no humidity... "😂

May blessing always come to good people that you are ❤

So happy for you guys - lots of good news. Hopefully the gifts keep coming. You both deserve all the good stuff!!

God looks after his own buddy and helping every step of the way. Nice one. It's good to see him at work.

continue to educate us and sharing so that we may understand and learn...and we will pass it along then also....Many Blessings !

Blessings to you all ❤❤

To stay hydrated, I purchased a $25 camel pack from tractor supply that holds about a quart and a half of water. I fill it with half ice and then water or electrolytes if necessary, and wear it on my back keeping it cool. The hose makes it easy to drink from, and I only need to fill it up a couple of times a day.

I recognize the ability to do and the thinking so that you can do and having the time to do it!!! I appreciate the videos.

Love watching you 2 work together. Awesome making progress.

I worked like a work horse when I was younger, I get it.

THEM ICE VEST ARE NICE> GIVE YOU ANY THERE TO 4 to 8 hours of coolness I had to wear some to stay cool while working bees They make a ice head band is nice to

Congratulations Jess & Jim the dynamic duo (&Peter?) things are really coming along. Stone and cob walls, Lumber and framing, trusses and roof supports attract metal roofing, the big excavator for trenching and ventilation. Triangulate and reinforce your vertical supports during the construction process. We are so proud of you and your progress.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤ Take care of yourselves and each other. Shoot lots of video. Keep planning and revising and accomplishing your build.

You all keep going like the energizing bunny. Hard working and very caring. I respect all the care that you give your pups. Crew has the best parents ever.

Love will finish every project and that house, and you guys have an abundance of love for eachother, life, pets, gardens, friends, brothers, the house you're building and the Creator who put all that love in your lives. What a journey it's been, thanks for sharing it, it's inspiring.

Good.news for you guys be safe out there.

I look forward every week to see what you guys get done. it has inspired my wife and I to purchase 10 acres out here in central Arizona about an hour from where we currently live to take that plunge and build ourselves an off grid home and eventually cut the current house out and move permanently. Keep positive, stay strong, see you next week.

That is so awesome! So glad you were gifted some metal roofing! What a blessing! Love the bird footage. Makin in strides. The poop codes😂😂😂😂 if you only knew what I was dealing with.

You have a great community. Things are getting done. Nice!

May I suggest that you put some cross braces on those posts that are holding up those rafters. If a wind comes along there will be a mess and you’ll be starting over again, again.

So happy for y’all!

It is looking great ,looking forward to the next step in your build process. Best of luck with the excavator.

You are more than welcome , Jim and Jess we love watching us from beginning to where you are now and this is beautiful job you guys I just wish my wife and I could be out there helping us. We are out here in pincher Creek Alberta Canada.

You two are amazing, you help motivate me in my home renovation project in Surrey ,UK. Please give Crew a big hug and kiss from me.

Just reading some about helping teach children the value of patience. There is so much that can happen with waiting. You all are very good at using your time. I have a giant clock face with Roman Numerals but no hands. It often makes me stop and ponder. You are the oasis for so many birds. Great stewards.

Your house is really coming together 😊 It's going to be so fun watching you build the greenhouse part.

Will you ever live in the dome?

Does seem like the dome has been deemphasized. Did something go wrong with it? Is it unsafe?

You are doing great one step at a time, I know in this head shade is a gift and so needed, You have wonderful friends to gift you the metal roofing! Thank you friends! SO cool to see a Hooded Oriole there and a Cactus Wren! and Finches!

Good to see Crew. Love watching your videos.

Have to compliment Jessica, her video presence has improved so much over the years. Keep the build video's coming. Best wishes for Crew.

You attracted an oriole, congratulations! I think you need cross bracing on the uprights supporting the horizontals! Your build is amazing, can't wait to see more! We love Crew, thanks for taking care of him as we all would wish to be as we age out. Love to you both from California: God bless you.

Beautiful gift indeed !😃

You 2 are doing awesome

Enjoyed ! I've become accustomed to your videos format. It really takes into account the nature of daily doings. Lluvia gave deference to Crew in this one... as it should be! 😊

Looking good, And wow our dog not even close to behaving like that during a bath, And we plan on being in the Douglas area next year to start our homestead

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁💪👌.

Hey i did some that was AWESOME. Saturday i got some baby back ribs and put them into pineapple juice, Cajun seasoning, with brown sugar over night. Next day took them out gave them a good flour seasoning of Cajun seasoning Garlic powder salt and pepper with some chicken bouillon Then i bake them for about 30 min. THEN DEEP FRIED THEM until they got to 165 degs. and golden brown. OMG THEY WAS CRISPY, TENDER, AND DELICIOUS. You can always put BBQ Sauce on them> I wanted them plain for other things. Like quick sandwiches and things, or in rice ect ect They went so fast. I got another package out going to do them again

So happy for you both what a blessing for the metal. Here in IL it was 96⁰high 103⁰ w/ humidity. So indoors we are. Once you get the building the cellar will be much cooler.

Awesome on the gifts what a blessing Your Fur babies are adorable.. Yes stay hydrated

Good advice about self care 😊

You are both wonderful folks who teach so much because you work hard and yet seem to keep life balanced in a good healthy way. I believe this is why others gift you. 😊

Great video Jess and Jim !

Are those white bags showing through the eroding cob on the upper part of the dome? Maybe Dwarfs, Smurfs & Oompa-Loompas will finish it for you before the rains hit... ⛈
