You guys accomplished so much this year my gosh. Nate next time you feel down when things aren’t going your way, just watch this video again and you’ll see all the things you have done. I know it’s hard because I have OCD also I know it’s hard to live with people like us sometimes because we’re perfectionists❤ I thought you did a really good job on the video also

Thank you, Nate did say, "WOW, I didn't realize how much we accomplished" after editing this.
Unbelievably how hard you guys have worked on this homestead!!!! I think most of my family and friends dream of living and working outside. Not to this extent!!! Love what you are doing!!! Only if I were younger!!! Always watching. Also love from Bucks County PA. ❤

We hope if we put the hard work in the first few years it will get easier and more relaxing for our golden years.
Nate & Katie, what an awesome amount of work you two have accomplished as a team. The way you assist and encourage one another is a delight to see. I watched the video twice. I am worn out from watching the both of you. Great job editing, Nate. Love you both. Can't wait to see what the 2024 year in review looks like.

I've watched every video in 2023 and always thought how hard you both work and how much you get accomplished. But this time lapse video makes me really realize and appreciate how much you have done this past year and with Nate by himself a lot and you Katie holding down a full time job. I know this video took a lot of time and hard work but it was fantastic. The music went along so well with the activity and was not hard on the senses. The areal views really show your progress so well. Just a great job all the way around. Hope you both have a safe and good up coming year. The Lord has truly blessed you both.

OMG!!!! Soooo much work! So maybe this will help, there is only one way to do things…your way. Don’t let well meaning but sometimes rude people take the fun out of it. And, your marriage is the priority, not KZread or the property, you won’t take any of it with you, only the way you made eachother feel❤

I personally think you two have done an absolute bloody marvellous job since landing on your new property, to homestead. Especially considering what you knew and what you didn’t. What I especially liked was what you dived into, and gave it a go. We all learn by experience, a lot by mistake. You have beautiful property, I hope you make the most of it, and remember to take the time away from for me time, to refurbish the batteries. Cheers guys keep up the good work and hopefully keep loving what you’re doing. Thanks so much for sharing your journey. 😉👍👏💋❣️🥰

I love how you work together and also love Nate’s precision. Whatever he builds is going to last!!! The shenanigans are hilarious, the doggies are adorable, and my favorite chicken is Betty Jane.
