Josh… I was a framing contractor for 30 yrs. My advice to you is to rent an extended boom forklift, also known as a telehandler. You can lift all heavy materials safely and easily. Plywood, rafters, ridges, beams etc. Safely!!

My late wife had a minor stroke and she refused to slow down and I lost her 10 months later. Please make her slow down until she is cleared by her doctor's. Yes I don't know you but we are a KZread family and we care more about you then the build. ❤

As a nurse, I encourage you to call the neurologists office EVERY MORNING and inquire about any cancelation s. Don't wait 2 months more. Eventually they'll get you in. If they ask, tell them you have more symptoms.

Take it easy. I’m’ sure you saw this but TIA website says this: “Nearly 1 in 5 people who have a suspected TIA will have a stroke within 90 days, and 2 in 5, when given the appropriate scan, will learn that they actually had a stroke instead of a TIA.” You might hate people telling you to take it easy but take it easy. You have 3 kids and a husband you don’t want to leave behind.

A lot of joking but Erin's Health is no joke.

Oh Erin please down tools and take it easy, you have 3 babies who need you. Josh put your foot down and insist, she needs to step for a while 🥰.

My husband's first TIA paralyzed his legs for 24 hours. His second occurred 6 days later. It paralyzed his legs for 4 months. Only after three months of intensive physical therapy did he walk again. But his balance has never completely recovered. Erin is one of the strongest, fit women I've seen. But her body is telling her to slow down. I join with others in suggesting you hire a helper.

ERIN IS the Best a man could ever ask for...

Nice job, just take it easy, Erin, and even though it's hard to do, follow the doctor's orders. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

I have been thinking about you guys, particularly Erin. I am glad things seem to be going better. It is crazy watching Erin work, and that is what she calls taking it easy. Wow. Girl, you are amazing. I wish Erin a continued recovery.

I doubt that's gonna happen. Praying for Erin to take care of herself and her children first.

Erin, In the last episode you said your neurology consultation was pushed back til April. That is too long to wait if indeed the doctors suspected a TIA, which can be a harbinger for major stroke as commented by CF. A TIA or stroke is caused by blockage of blood flow in arteries within the brain, either due to plaque within those arteries, or tiny clots /plaques sent upstream from the Carotid Artery(at the neck level), or from the heart. Knowing the root cause dictates treatment to prevent a major event. I suspect you were asked to take a low dose aspirin for the time being. Of course there are other conditions that mimic TIAs, such as migraines or multiple sclerosis. As a follower of your Channel and a recently retired physician, I am concerned. As your primarycare doctor to expedite the neurology referral. Best wishes.

The new donkeys didn't know they could have it so good until they met Ellie. She is the sweetest little girl on earth. Seeing her living and kissing them warms my heart and I guarentee they donkeys love it just like all the other animals she's loved unconditionally. I think Ellies heart fills about 80% of her body. What a sweet heart. Glad to see you doing well Erin and I'm praying you don't ever have another stroke or any other health set back nor the rest of your family. And I pray what ever health issue the one son has isn't serious and can be solved. Don't ever do it young lady your kids and husband need you around for a hundred yrs and beyond. Be safe and God bless you all 🙏

Aristotle Onassis, the shipping magnate, said that he was born on a farm. One day he told his family that he was leaving, but they said that he was needed on the farm. "So I bought them a donkey and left." 🙂 Erin is really needed. But not for heavy lifting. So when is she going to stop? That is the question.

Hey girl, you're supposed to be taking it easy!!!!

Glad you're feeling better Erin. Follow Dr.'s orders and take it easy. I have seen men work less hard than you and my goodness girl, I've never seen a lady pick up a full sheet of plywood like you can!!

Erin, I have been through a TIA event and then some few years later a stroke. It turned out to be my heart (a hole in between sections) My cholesterol was good, there was no furring in the arteries, all the usual stuff was clear. If you possibly can get a good cardiologist to test for a hole in the heart (bubble test). Love to you all

YAY!!! My favourite family!!!!❤ good to see you doing so well, Erin!!! Love y’all!

Been thinking of you and family I pray things are going ok for you with your health and your son.

We know you two wanted to do this build yourselves but we all understand if Erin needs to just supervise. She's one tough lady . . tougher than most men. We love and respect her dedication to the "build".

Erin, it's good to see you feeling better but please don't over do it. Please! I see a lot of your subscribers sharing the same concern so please don't get mad at us as we all want what's best for you and the family. Slooooooooooow down!

Get someone to help you Josh to do the build heavy work. Its too much for Erin right now until they figure out why this TIA happened....

Thanks, Josh and Erin, for sending these videos to a watching audience. Not knowing that you're living out, you all live before us. This isn't a Hollywood screen show. This is your life with real hurts and pains we all go through! I am praying continually for recovery of Erin and the rest of your family.

Erin had the same thing happen to me in my woman)early 40s It was from stress and over working We were farmers Woman are not made to do that kind of work I see these women doing too heavy of work You have a family, animals. That’s a lot Have been praying for you Such a neat family

Erin, stop pushing yourself, take it easy!!!

Erin is such a trooper she is definitely not a afraid to work. But Erin you have to take it a little easy for now till the doctors get around to giving a clean bill of health. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

It's hard to believe how big Ellie is getting...I remember her on your back during the A frame build.

I echo the 'hire someone' to help... at least with the big/complicated/heavy stuff. Take care of yourselves.

So glad you're feeling better Erin! But please take it slow Praying for you. Little Ellie is becoming a real animal farmer❤ she is just so good with all of them! Love to see her with the animals!

You have a wonderful family, please take care and don’t push.

It is comforting to see both of you as a team again. Just take it easy, young Lady. ❤ I am amazed at myself for the degree of interest I have in your family. Each one of you have become important in a way that is new to me, an oldster. I care that everything goes well for you all as you forge out this "high-intensity" life style. I wish you both total safety and success on that ridge beam and those rafters. I wish good health and happiness to you all. ❤😊😊❤ See y'all next time!

Ellie is a natural animal whisperer. Your donkeys, sheep, et al respond to her genuine love for them. And she learnt it from you both❣️

Dang! Erin on light duty works harder than me on a good day. Take it easy on her Josh you're going to want her around for many years to come.

Erin, how are you doing? The donkeys are looking so happy and healthy. The build is coming along so great, please don’t over do it! Thank you for another awesome video, love you all and sending prayers and hugs from Ohio.

Good work done on this episode..Miss Ellie, the animal whisperer..just zooming along with all of her charges..n..doing chores..such a lil sweetie!! Erin ..you seem to be doing better,just throttle it back a half notch.. Josh can figure it out.. A great visit today ... Thanks!! 🍀🐺🧙‍♂️🦊🍀 Happy St Pat's day!!

My wife busted out crying when she saw that Erin was able to bounce back so well. My wife experienced the same "mini stroke". You have our prayers giving you wind beneath your wings.

I love how much you guys laugh while working. It's good to see Erin up and at it.

erin you are a beautiful young woman. please take it easy on these days. josh how would you feel if something would happen to erin????? grt organized and get some help!

Beautiful people, take it slow, take great care of yourself. You are doing a wonderful job. From my heart, all the best, in peace for all. Much love from Latvia.

You know everyone says take it easy….and yes of course don’t overdo it….but this build was always about you two as a team….working side by side….so Erin I get why you carry on….of course be careful but also enjoy the journey together ….its not about the house getting finished, it is about slowing down and doing it together…one rafter at a time. And that’s what I admire most…too many of us would focus on wanting a house, but you show us that it is the memory of building it 100% together that matters and I LOVE that!

Come on, Milwaukee!!! Get that sponsor deal!!!!

ERIN YOU ARE 1/2 OF A GREAT TEAM WITH 3 IN TRAINING, I HAVE A CLOSE FRIEND WHO HAD A STROKE AND AFTER A YEAR HAS NOTHEN MORE THAN SOME MEMORY ISSUES AND ID SAW BACK TO NORMAL. THERE IS LIFE AFTER A STROKE FOR SOME, I CONCUR WITH A FELLOW COMMENTOR. LISTEN TO THE DR'S. STAY SAFE AND STICK AROUND YOU ARE LOVED AND NEEDED.

Easy does it Erin ❤time to step back a bit ❤ luve to you and your family 😊

I framed houses for 45 yrs and my wife helped me packing lumber lifting walls and Erin does an outstanding job

I am 70 yrs young and have built many structures in my life, including 2 home using LVL I-bean and LVL floor joist, but I am a little confused about using a LVL I-beam (floor joist) as your vertical support post for you LVL ridge beam. The support in the I-bean is when it laid horizontally, vertically it is really just two 2 small dimensional boards connect by a web. There was a piece of 2x12 between the two pieces but I am unsure how much support the I-bean use to this way will give you to supporting ridge beam. Maybe someone with more experience could clear this up.

None of the posts you see holding the ridge beam up are permanent- including the I-joist. It's just a temporary place holder until the rafter are installed

Would have been funny if Erin would have said “pivot” for all us tv hounds but they probably don’t watch much tv, they work so hard all the time. Wish I had that kind of energy!!!! Hope all is well with you guys!

Oh, My God how cute is Ellie with that donkey... Erin please take care and get well soon, lots of love and prayers from my family here in the Isle of Man (look us up) XXXXXXXX

So glad that Erin seems to be getting better. Just be careful. You may have to hire some help out . Both of you be careful. Family is the most important. Anyway both of you be safe.

Omg the donkeys!! My fave animals & I love the noises they make. I was waiting for a video with them making noises! Amazing… soo cute ❤ x

Watching you guys build together has been a big inspiration for what our family wants to do. Wish I lived closer I’d love to hang with josh and help with the build! I was in construction as a carpenter for 18 years

I’m older, but had two TIA’s and then a stroke a year later. I was diagnosed with hypertension and then thick blood. I hope you hire someone to help with the build-Erin can still help too! Love seeing all the animals!

Glad to see Erin taking it easy. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Erin… please take it easy. My Dad had what they called TIA’s and one day about one year later he had a massive stroke. His TIA were not like yours. They were just a numbing and loss f feeling in his hands and legs. Then he had a really bad stroke. He never spoke again and he couldn’t walk… shave or go to the bathroom by himself… everything happened to his ability to take care of himself. He lived that way for 7 years and my mom had to do everything for him. He died in Oct and she died in March one year later. I don’t want to scare you but you have to sit back and have someone else helping Josh. You have to be active but not lifting pushing and pulling. You are strong but this was a wake up call and realize you shouldn’t be doing these heavy things. God Bless you both, take one thing at a time!

Erin, glad you're doing okay. The build is coming along even though Josh can't lift stuff! You are needed, Erin, but don't push it. Josh will have to deal. LOL Love watching Ellie with the herd. It's so adorable!

Erin you are doing amazing, just don't push yourself too hard.... Love you guys and all you do ❤🇬🇧

Erin I too had a so called TIA about 4 years ago and haven’t had any problems since. I had full work up with cardiologist and neurologist. Praying you have the same outcome.

I am glad Erin is recovering so well. You have beautiful family. You two take great pains to include them and teach them about living out in the woods on a farm. Hope all your endeavors do well. Continued blessing on Erin and the family. I enjoy your journey as you grow and endure the up and downs that come your way.

Erin, thank God you are getting better by the day!! Sending prayers y'all way 🙏 ❤️

What an epic dose of support for Erin! I was just thinking about how well she is getting along, at least compared to my actual stroke two years ago. Now able to walk around and use both arms, but the right side is kind of gimpy still. But is slowly but steadily improving.

I'm glad to see a new video of y'all but have some one help you with the building until y'all are all healthy and well And my prayers and support are with all of you with all the love in my heart God bless everyone ❤

Guys, with over a million subscribers and the Views your stuff is getting, you should be earning enough to employ someone to take Erin's place. You are playing with fire, but then again, I'm not a doctor. Meant well ❤

Have been viewing your posts and I love your priorities and what you decide to share to protect your family. I am 62 now. Grew up with farming on a large scale with many summer hands hired from spring to fall. Cooked many meals for hungry men.

Erin, We are all praying for you! What a wonderful family and hard working family and community you’ve created! Great things are ahead for all of you! God Bless!❤❤❤❤!

Please be careful as possible on build both of you. Be safe!❤

Good to see y'all back on the build. Take it easy on Erin! Love seeing Josh with the "Demolitia" shirt. Nice low key shout out to Matt.

Prayers for family ❤🙏 Cayenne pepper is a natural blood thinner. Put in smoothies and take daily. If you're taking meds from Dr., please consult with them first.

So is fish oil a natural blood thinner if you are not already taking a prescription from the ER visit. Don't mix home remedy with aspirin or prescription medications. Watch the stickyness of your blood. Stickyness proceeds a stroke of any size. Life happens with all it's challenges. Stay strong and keep your family close.
