To any negative people chiming in… never be jealous of someone who looks like they have endless money. I can’t imagine all the hours they put in sweat equity in their home, the long hours keeping up with the videos/editing, working full time job, all after having their grown up kids raised. I fully respect hard work, and long hours. Congratulations to the Osta’s on a beautiful home. Keep up the greatest Chanel I watch weekly.
Goals and planning, your money- grow it. Your goals, plan in advance detail. Most won’t commit to themselves and live a life of envy, jealousy, living a life of hindsightful regret
You've come so far since you began this homestead build and now you reward us viewers with a comprehensive tour of the result of all the long hours of hands-on DIY you shared with us through the months of building your dream. It turned out wonderful. Mrs. Osta really put in a lot of work on the Christmas decorating. It should be featured in Better Homes & Gardens magazine!
I’m a UK viewer who only recently found your channel but i have just finished binge watching the house/shop build. Loved watching & both of your boundless enthusiasm is fantastic. Will catch up on the off road videos & look forward to more of the exterior projects.👍🏻
I'm not going to lie, Mrs Osta could make a fortune doing home interior. She's got a very great eye for rustic design and puts it together very uniquely. She sees value where everyone else wouldn't. My wife does the same, and I always think her ideas are completely nuts and will look terrible when she finds or buys stuff(I think is absolute junk). Then the finish product looks super good, and then I feel absolutely terrible for doubting her vision. 😂
I very much enjoyed this series, you guys did a good job videoing most of it. Thanks for all the hard work you did making the videos! Its a very cool house and I hope you enjoy it in the years to come.
Your homestead is unbelievably beautiful guys. I wouldn't even attempt 80% of these projects on my own, but you guys are so creative and talented. Someday I plan to build something like this, but I will rely heavily on the pros when the time comes, which means I will need lots of $$$. Well done guys!
*Ohh, Osta, who would have ever thought your channel would have grown into what it is today? From you posting videos of rides, back on the old HL forum, and the guy w/ the Foldgers Can exhaust mod in the Honda section......to what you've done/what you have now. Congrats. Sincerely, 1BadRene*
I’m with your wife , I collected those villages more than 40 years , and I still love it , your decorations is so amazing, what a great job, stunning beautiful house ❤
I hope this is not the end of this house series; I’ve really enjoyed watching each part. I have no idea how the two of you survived this adventure because it just looks like so much more than you could ever expect, though you’ve somehow done it!
So bitter sweet! I’ve watched from the beginning! I don’t have the time to watch all your adventures, but I always made time for this incredible house build! Congrats on all of it, what a great great place to live!!
I am just blown away with how great everything looks ! It is so awesome to see how You and Mrs. Ousta made all your visions and dreams into reality. Please keep doing the " Project Videos " , I think that they are very interesting and entertaining and make for very good content. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
I really like the brick distressed desigh you guys choosed for the front path and the patio. Fits soo perfect to the whole package. Honestly could not be better!
Oh my God,Dave,the house with all the Christmas decoration looks like a dream i could not even think of. Really looking like an absolute dream house. Well done!
Absolutely love the place and did a great job with the Christmas decorations. I love Christmas very much. I’m originally from Ireland and I’m living in Canada now in Alberta for 17 years. It’s interesting to me to see the way different cultures celebrate Christmas. I have some German friends who open their presents on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Christmas Day. In North America a lot of people decorate the outside of their homes with lights and nativity sets looks great.. but there is one thing what Irish and British people do that I’ve not seen anyone else we decorate some of our ceilings in the house. Back in the day to chains and ceiling decorations used to be all made out of paper but now they use kind of like shiny file material. They fold away flat, but then on out like paper origami. we will hang chains from the ceiling with stars and bells and other Christmas shaped objects, lots of balloons of different shapes, and traditional mistletoe, of course. Thinking about it now my German friends also do a lot of those little Christmas village things. They collect them over the years and build it into a town. One of my Christmas traditions was as I travelled around a lot of the world I used to pick up decorations to hang on the tree from many different places. Many people decorate their Christmas tree in a particular theme, as where mine was very very very cryptic lol. Was one thing I used to do in Ireland, Newbridge, silver, and Irish silver jewellery making company used to make decorations out of silver and they’d release two or three of them every year I used to buy them and hang them on the tree very expensive decorations, but you only buy a couple of them each year, so it’s manageable one of those Christmas luxuries I used to like. The detail those little silver ornaments was absolutely amazing.
In February of 2020 I had blueprints done for a pole barn house build here in Michigan. During that timeframe I was researching and looking for as many ideas as possible and randomly came across your first build video. I haven't missed a build update video since and really enjoy the rest of your content as well having a snowmobile and SXS myself. I've used a lot of similar ideas that you have done at your and really enjoyed the great detail in your videos. I just finally moved into my house in July of 2023 and am currently working on the outdoor projects(firewood shed, raised flower/garden beds, paver patio, etc.) so this video was very helpful again. I can't wait to see the upcoming outdoor project videos! Thank you for doing these videos!
That house is so amazing. It's a dream home. These are some of my favorite videos. Can't wait to see more videos of property improvements. Thanks for sharing.
You have a very impressive home. All the hours of your sweat and tears, paid of handsomely. It's the personal touches that really set it off and make it what it is. Magnificent talents with phenomenal creativity. Dave, Carey, family, pets and friends, to all a Happy Christmas and best wishes in 2024. Thanks for all the great entertainment!
Its like a 4 yr TV show series is ending😂. Love watching and seeing all you guys have worked hard for and workes hard to do. Best wishes and thanks for the ride! Been great watching!
What a wonderful home you guys have built. A lot of blood sweat and tears went into that place. I love it all and wouldn’t change a thing. Congratulations on all of your success in life this far. I fallowed the build from the beginning thank you for content it is great. Keep up the great work on your videos. I look forward to meeting you one day. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND TOUR FAMILY.
Love you guys !!! Thank you so much for sharing. The two of you deserve nothing but the best. Looks like the two of you get along so well, two rowing in the same direction can achieve greatness. I hope to get up your way someday and get to say hello. I am only 2500 miles or so away here in central Florida. and lastly, great job on an awesome house, Bill
You both did a great job with your house the shop and the video. I like the way that you showed everything that you did. Your videos are not like no other great job great job and I like the way you detailed everything great job.
Congratulations on the nice house man! Been watching you for quite a while with my father. Finally after all this time I figured I'd give it a shot myself. Got quite a bit to learn and a long way to go but so far so good. Thank you for the awesome content you make and the motivation that comes with watching your channel! 😁
I really love these videos. This is one of my favourite youtube video series ever. This stuff gives me inspiration for the future. Keep it up with the updates or really any video that involves the property I will watch. Congrats guys. I know how much work these kinds of projects can be. I hope you take some time to enjoy it. Cheers!
Being from central Texas one thing I am envious of is land prices. Down here in 126 ac is well over 1 million easy. I have enjoyed the build series from the start, super happy for you guys!
*Watching your channel has a strong "surreal" sense to it. When you folks say, "Dream home," you're not kidding around ! Two things I cannot help to notice about your lifestyle since I began watching your channel back about 2.5 years ago - 1. You seem to have access to unlimited financial resources ? 2. You have not failed to miss even one opportunity to demonstrate this fact. When I think of what my life would (Or could) be like if I won a huge Lotto 6/49 1st Mega-Prize, or was privy to an incredibly large financial settlement, I think it would look very similar to your RU-vid channel. From the giant dream home inside and out, to all the incredible "man toys," your hands seem to reach into some golden cookie jar, where the cookies never run out.*
Sorry, I went on a trip down memory lane with all the Christmas stuff but when I saw your upstairs room with the pool table and the video game, the chillout hangout game area. I thought that was pretty cool. A couple of things I think would be great up there would be air hockey a couple of pinball machines and a bar billiards table. Bar billiards is probably the greatest game you can play with a queue if you don’t know what it is. Look into it absolute fantastic game to play. Oh yeah darts would probably be another good game.
Love it guys been here since the way way beginning!! Love the builds love the vids, and it’s nice to see real genuine people!! Awesome job!! Happy holidays and Merry Christmas from upstate NY!! 🌲🌲
Best house build series on RU-vid IMO. You and Carrie have built an awesome house/shop. Ill have to bring my OEM Gade Cryptids to burn off next Skegtober hahahaha
Absolutely amazing journey on your dream home guys I remember when you started and to watch every video till the end turned out so amazing👍👍👍 Happy holidays to you guys⛄️⛄️⛄️
As a Mason, who has occasionally done paving stones, Little pro tip after you sweep in your polymeric sand. Your best bet is to put down a few sheets of plywood and then run your whacker plate over that. This is good as it will shake up the pavers working in the sand and will prevent any of the pavers from getting chipped and cracked.. you lift up the plywood and then you sweep the sand around again as you shaken up the pavers, you will have little hollow voids some places, so you fill those voids. Put down the plywood and go again, repeat process till all your joints are full. Once you are happy, sweep up the excess sand as much as possible. Now you take a leaf blower and blow the pavers lightly as you don’t want to blow the sand out of the joints you just want to blow it off the surface of the pavers. Once this is achieved, you wear it down several times. Allow it to dry and set up now you can hit it full-blown with a pressure washer to make sure it’s all nice and lovely. This is my pro tip for anyone doing pavers. Some people will use a whacker plate with a rubber plate instead of plywood now this will help against chipping and cracking. This is a little quicker and a little less work than the plywood but I find it blows away too much of the sand so I generally don’t like doing it. I prefer the plywood.
TAKE A BREAK YIME..! Very complete buildout..and rest assured..you will add on..,and add on...your enjoyement Is JUST BEGUN....HAPPY FAMILY GOT A HOME..!
Awesome videos. Love everything you guys have done. Just finished watching this one binge watching from the start took me just over a week to watch all. New subscriber from Scotland UK. Keep up the awesome work guys. My wife loves your Kitchen/Lounge area. 🙂
It’s coming along great. I honestly figured you’d install a bigger generator considering the size of your home a shop but I guess y’all are just looking to power up the basic stuff.
@@ostacruiser makes perfect sense! Backup generators are definitely worth the initial cost the first few times you have to use them. Hoping y’all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄🎄🎅🎅
I am so jealous of that haha, but so happy for you guys its so inspiring and I'm glad that you both made your dreams a reality. Such a beautiful house and property thanks so much for these progress build videos I will admit I think I enjoy them a bit more than your more regular content haha but nonetheless keep it coming.
What a great place wow Carrie has some skills but I sure hope someone stopped by a patted that dirt guy on the back for the cement prep😂😂... nothing better then a simple guy doing good ✌️🤩
Wow what a great job on house in side and outside. It looks fantastic it all takes time to get all together the way you want it. I totally understand thanks so much for the great video. merry Christmas and Happy New year. From Ontario
