What an incredible accomplishment ! Your home was fashioned on hours & hours of hard work, sweat, determination, tenacity & love & devotion to your precious family and to each other. Melissa and Jeremy, you truly are an inspiration! Thank You for sharing your journey with us!

I love the stone wall! Gorgeous!! Can't wait to see it in your bathroom! And I was just wondering about the shower and why it was not focused upon lately, and now, I know! Cannot wait to see it. So happy for you guys. Such hard work, dedication and love went into your home. Everywhere you look there is already a beautiful memory!

I feel your excitement and your hard earned joy. Congratulations to you and your family for all of your hard work before the build even started. I look forward to seeing your Decour and everything comes together. High-fives all around. Your family is a great example of hard work paying off and the true joy of building something together. Love from Sagle. Katie

Congratulations does not seem enough to say about such dedication to building your own magnificent home in the beautiful mountains of Idaho. I have been here since the start, watching weekly the vlogs go up, excited for everyone I see. You took us all on a beautiful journey, showing us your life, your children, your pets and animals. The good with the bad, and happy with the sad. It’s been epic! I will continue to follow your family as you represent the good in life. You see past disappointment and heartbreak.

@TheJimcrooks800 2 года назад

In the traditional understatement of the Scottish vernacular - 'Aye, it's alright'.

@MikeC19100 2 года назад

The stone accent wall looks amazing and the mix of colors also makes it look interesting too. Looking forward to seeing you all get moved into the home, but you might want to spread a little stone (maybe more than a little) in front of the entrance otherwise you’ll be tracking all that dirt and mud into the house. Regarding the bathroom lights; it looks like you had 60 watt equivalent lights in them and if you switch to 40 watt equivalent it will still be fairly bright, without being overwhelming. Before we went full time in an RV we had two 4-bulb fixtures in our bathroom and even with 40 watt bulbs it was very bright. I removed one bulb from each fixture and 3 bulbs were more than adequate to see with.
