Hi Katie and Greg. Katie you did your usual fantastic job of editing and assambling a great video for us. I always enjoy seeing the goats and what they are up to and I loved seeing Juniper and Aspen rolling on their backs and showing their great teeth while playing 😃 The grass is really coming in nicely where you seeded a few weeks back, starting to look very nice. It is an absolute delight watching you two working together as you were in this video. Katie, you have grown and progressed so very much over time and now your skills are very impressive! You now anticipate and know what to do without needing much guidance at all; you are very impressive Katie!! You should be very proud of yourself and I'm sure Greg is as well. He continues to be more relaxed and enjoying himself and his full time homesteader role since being able to step away from his roofing job. I am so happy for you both as you are building and living your dream. Have a great week. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

You couldn't have said it better Larry! They have both grown their skills so much and the videos are a pleasure to watch.

I grew up on a farm/ranch and then after college, I became an engineer. My biggest regret is not using PPEs (Personal Protective Equipment) and now at 72 years old, I have a lot of issues for being a hard-headed person. Loss of hearing, back and joint pain, lots of eye issues for not wearing safety glasses, and injuries to my hands and feet for also not wearing the right shoes and gloves. Please take every precaution that you can. Your friend in Kansas, USA.

Been with you from the beginning,you two only get better together! You’re on my top 5 favorite UTube channels .Thanks for sharing your life together, It takes a lot of work and dedication to be successful, and you still continue to climb the ladder. My sincere thanks for your hard work. John

Just love your intros. Your home is such a reflection of your love and hard work.

I like the goats hopping down the slope.

I would strongly suggest installing some rafter hangers on your rafters, or put a ledger board under your rafters attached to the old shed

a good platform for rainwater harvesting

You guys deserve a nice shop. Hard working people ❤❤❤❤.

The barns looking great! Id personally put polycarbonate or clear corrugated (or even acrylic sheeting or "plexiglass as its known as at times" as this can be much stronger and is UV stable meaning it will last for years from sun abuse but may be more expensive of course - youd have to figure out the costs of replacing the others over the span of a few years maybe to how long the plexiglass will likely last you vs costs to figure out the most cost affective) in at least one panel either side of the dormer for the same reasons you are doing it for the dormer! It will basically act almost like a skylight, but might be handy in winter for the animal side too to help hold some heat from any sun you may get also :) the summer you can easily have doors open etc for great ventilation and to help cool it down but in winter it may be that a skylight might just help increase the temp inside even a little on sunnier days ❤. Great job guys! X

Hey Greg. Remember. You’re going to want a lot of lighting inside your shop. When you’re used to work outside with natural light when you get inside you can’t have too much light.

When you build a gable end roof, you need to put a Valley in the rafters coming down hit the valley

Great job guys, I really enjoy watching the building of your Homestead, As I said about your footers you will want to use a bonding agent to bond the new concrete to the cured concrete if water gets between the 2 it will freeze and crack

lots of moss on the old roof. Probability a great snack for the goats

Hello from a fellow Canadian living in Houston, Texas currently. Great work!

Looks great. I love the fact the that it’s all done with wood you milled…so satisfying.

Very structural roof there, Greg!! Very handsome addition to your barn!!

I'm following this journey of yours from my home in the mid north of South Australia, Australia. I love the way things come about. Keep up your fantastic efforts

Good job Graigg on the dormer 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi from The Canary Isles, just love your videos, you are both so talented and hard working, and you both look so happy. Can,t wait for the next video. Sending love to you both Keith.

Real nice job guys! Definitely Greg need a wood shop inside the Barn

I’m so glad to see your big dog stay and sleep inside , they are playing and so gentle , too cute , great progress turn out today ,

The barn is coming along nicely. Great job Greg and Katie.

Great video. Greg, you can do just about anything.

Hi down in the comments! 😂 The barn looks amazing, and Aspen and Juniper playing together is adorable! Aspen is HUGE now!!! Love you guys. 😊❤

Hi, don't worry about those angles, nobody get's it right at first try! Your work looks really professional, congratulations!!!

Hello Kate, my name is Haley me and my brother and sister watch your video with our grandpa, just like the way you guys live in the woods. My brother is talking about doing that if we can when we get older, Thanks for doing the video.

Hello from La Pine, Oregon. I watch your channel and Simple Living Alaska, you both are hard workers. Katie everyone is waiting for swinsuit milling.

I'm not a dormer fan, but yours looks Great. I'm still believing that without a sawmill on your own property and plenty of log trees, what a big savings. Katie has become a resident expert in all her tasks and its a treat to see you both working as a team and loving couple together. May God keep you blessed in your journey together. Big hugs from Santa Barbara. 🤗😘🌹👏🍷💕😎🙏

Looking great . the addition of a shop is something you really need . Someplace where you can set up your tools and do projects .

Greg, you should add a solar kiln to your list of projects. You could dry your lumber and your firewood.

It is looking good. You are a great team. Can't wait to see the goat babies play and grow up.😊

Amazing how much work you two get done so quickly! That barn is going to change everything! For you guys and the goats! Nice!

I am really enjoying watching the work you guys have done and are doing.

Greg winging it by the pants and you did a fabulous job can't wait to see the next step❤🇨🇦

It's coming together beautifully

The barns looking great 👍 just a reminder when pouring footings it helps hammering the sides, that will get the concrete to settle and fill in all the void's. Keep up the good work. And try to stay positive while you build that also helps. Lol

The dormer was a fantastic idea!! Looks amazing!!!

Have a wonderful day 😊

Dormer looks great. For not knowing what you were doing you decided to build the hardest dormer. Every rafter is at different angles. Finishing my shop and getting my tools setup was a complete game changer. Doing projects are so much easier when you don't have to first setup the tools and then break it all down at the end of the day. Thanks for the video.

Hello Kati and Grey I watching for the last few months. I enjoy the show.

The roof framing looks really good. The dormer gives it a lot more character and makes it look a lot more professional And like a barn !!!!

When you are trying to determine an angle cut, rest the workpiece across the members and take your 90° Square against the inside of where you want it to go. You can then score the line according to its location. Account for the blade width also ...

Hard working as ever. I like how you go back and make repairs.

Really coming together proud of you both.

You should take your watch off or wear long sleeves when you’re welding. I learned the hard way with my Apple watch. The splatter pitted it. Check yours? Love watching your videos. My wife and I built all of our buildings. House, garden shed, barn/shop, and storage shed. We are old now and retired. Keep up the good work.

👋 The barn framing is looking great! I think with the metal up, it should last a very long time. 😂 It's great to have the pups out there with ya'll, you can protect them from danger..😅 Love ya'll ❤️

YOU TOO ARE THE BEST. I am however, looking forward to the siding going on the house.

Plus your house turned out beautiful. So much better than your bus

Nice job Gregg and a helping hand when needed by Katie.,.I wish I was there for lunch!!!

Everything is looking straight plumb and true, nice work!

You guys and your projects are awesome and very inspiring. The shop area will serve you so well, Greg couldn't be more right... with your lifestyle a good shop is a must. Can't wait to see it finished... you guys rock!

You are going to enjoy having that grass once it comes in good. Less mud! Whew! The barn is really coming along fast. You will be ready for those goat babies.

You two are freaking amazing seriously...

Hi from New Mexico,USA....love the way yall built the roof,looks nice and easy to build.

Where in NM? I'm watching from Albuquerque.

yes I know Greg you have needed a workshop for a while now and am so happy you guys are building the shop and new goat house and old goat house just have for just the chickens so nice job guys

Hi Katie and Greg, Carpenter Katie you rock Girl.

Hey Guys, Amazing job. I so love the fact the lumber is milled from the property. That mill must have paid for itself by now. Love it.

Hi Katie watching and enjoying your video, just a little hint, when sawing lumber a good idea to wear safety glasses and something other than flip flops on your feet. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Cheers

Hi Katie and Greg your barn is looking fantastic your hard work is paying off , Lovinging the Dormer entrance ,that looks so cool will look even better with the metal,, I always love watching the puppers play Juniper and Aspen are such good buddies , eh. Your goat's always entertaining and getting in the way lol. Your own off grid oasis in the woods .

unsaleable You two have become master builders.

I don't know if you guys have seen them, but they have these solar panels now days that are semi transparent so you can use them as a roof and have light come through. Not much more than normal white backed panels. Just something I was thinking for your new shop so it can have it's own independent power supply and have natural shaded light come through.

Perfect rain water tanks for feeding the buried storage tank you use now.

Way to rock the sawmill Katie! Goals for me (jen) I'll warn ya when we have a cooking segment in our videos so you can skip them 😂😂😂 . Barn is looking great!!!

Katie and Greg nice good on framing on the barn yall be safe

Katie I mentioned Greg’s Dance Move when Milling, love your Footwork whilst you Milled. Absolutely love the new structure and adding a Dorma entrance. Loving the o dogs playing and the Goats all have character, they just love to get in your way. See you both soon, love ❤️ to you great couple xxxx ❤️💙

You 2 are a great team sharing a common dream. Wishing you all the best ❤

You guys really are an amazing team! Keep it going. You are making memories and building dreams.......

Katie, I really like your comment about not showing you cooking, as one of the other channels does, constantly; that is why I don't watch them anymore.

I got the clear in between my metal for now 27 years and still doing just fine brings lots of light in, it the full length every other piece 42ft.

Guys, don't forget that during the winter time, there's gonna be snow and to move in and out the tractor you have to think about the level of snow. Be careful, cause you may not be able to do it. Anyway, good luck, it's looking good, keep going guys!!

Yep. Maybe even put a small concrete pad so you can easily keep snow and ice scraped down.

Hi Katie and Greg. What an awesome job you’re doing on the new barn. Best wishes as always from North Yorkshire, England.

You’re doing a great job with this roof project!

Great shot Katie got of the barn structure in process! I have noticed that you both seem so much happier now that you’re both full time on the property! I have been here since the beginning & as a Mom w/ a child your age I couldn’t be happier for you both!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

Looking good, the middle section gives it a great look😊🇬🇧

Favourite video by far you the knack of keeping my interest to the end

You two are doing a fantastic job at building!! Bravo, awesome 👍!!

Everything is looking great turning out very well I can't wait to see the finish 👍😊

The barn addition is looking great!

Y'all are making such progress WOW, looking so good. Better together. ❤❤❤❤❤

Great job on the roof.

Issue with rafters is the ridge and lean too are at different angles guys. You figured it out, as you always do. It's all good.

Well done katie and gregg. Good job looks fantastic. You both work well together.

Aahh..to be young and full of energy. Im about 30 years past that. I enjoy watching you two and your animals

Katie and Greg, I would have never thought of building that dormer section like that, but I love the way it came out ! Your addition is looking awesome !

Hi! Y’all are great! The scenery is beautiful! Mad skills on building!!! It’s really looking great!❤

As always, really great work on the roof , really great narrative and as always good to see you enjoying your life as a homesteader . My brother lives on TEXADA and being retired he is now a gentleman farmer. NO ANIMAL Just fruit trees corn ( IF HE GETS THE DEER FENCE FIXED) and vegies. Life in your neck of the woods is self satisfyingly enjoyable . PLESE KEEP IT UP AND ENLIGHTING US in the east WITH THE WONDERS OF YOUR ACTIVITY.

I'm really impressed with your work! Looking good, you guys!

Hi you two. Looks great your homestead is coming along nicely.

The background music is so awesome and relaxing❤

Hello from North Texas. Good job on the framing. I look forward to your videos. I’m 71 years old and wish I had the energy to still do what you two do. I miss those days.

Nice job! Those boards have to get heavy after the 1st few, you guys work so hard! Love your videos!

..... "babies".... for just a split second you threw me for a loop... lol beautiful workmanship on the roof, the dormer, the drone shot really shows it off well. love you guys, keep well. 🙂

One side of the barn, garage, workshop is taking shape. The sketal is erected. The weather has changed so much. Drier, greenier, Katie watering the lawn. Aspen has grown so much. Any informal animal training as yet? Any surprises on the outdoor go pro's?

Just love following you guys on this journey of yours, thank you both for sharing.

I love watching you two build your house and life, I am envious of what you are able to do. I wish I could have done something like this, but I am 65 and my body can’t handle it. So I can live vicariously through your challenges. Thank you 😊

Have a good time!I haven't seen you for a long time.Glad to see you!Real hard workers.

when fixing barn footers, over sized square forms, add a wire mesh of some sort all around, use extra strength concrete like the 5k type, and for sure this time to vibrate forms with Sawzall with no blade so concrete will fill void in the last pour

The barn addition is a stunning piece of work. And not a plan in sight. I see a change of career in the future for Greg!

Love the saw mill dance girl

We too love your channel. The effort you both put into your work is wonderfull to watch. By the way Katie the lunch is after our hearts. We love lunches like that too. Thank you so much. Sylvia and Ian New Zealand

No cooking segments? I knew I liked you guys more than most lol
