Jeremy is quite chipper since being back to his homeland. He was even singing! Love it!

Little Debbie was a pony Who alone called for a family And you came ,you offer food and care And friendship . She could remain in your care but Lil Debbie also has a chose ,she could stay or she could Teach ,be the pony to a family who will not only make a difference In her life ,but also theirs . Don't be upset ,she has a pony purpose And ponies gotta do ,what ponies gotta do . It's her pony life path . God bless you Lil Debbie ,you show the World Your gift .🐎

Poor lexin lost his girl, poor little Debbie being moved all around. I hope this is her last home and her forever. I'm so sad.

I really feel for the only horse you have now, he`s watch 2 of what could be friends to him, come and go.

Every window you open up is a big WOW! I went to Yellowstone last year and I thought I wore out the word WOW, but I guess not. The views from every window is INCREDIBLE. As far as the horses go, don’t tell yourself that you are failing. You do perfectly picking out the right horse for that time, BUT, the kids are growing, and so is their wants and needs. It was sad to see the pony leaving, but like you said, she will like her new life.

Hence the reason mud rooms are never over rated. Gotta love the mud!

I know how hard it is to lose a pet. On a good note, losing Lil Debbie to a good home where she will be happy and well cared for has got to be comforting. The garage is really starting to look awesome. Although I am not a fan of electric vehicles, I do think your decision to install a charging option in the garage for one is an excellent decision. We indeed don't know what things will be like in the future. Keep up the great work. I look so forward to Saturday mornings to watch your next video. 🥰

Another beautiful episode. Thank you!

Have a wonderful weekend ❤️ Not fitting is no good for you or the animal. In this case a horse. Love you little Debbie, you will not be forgotten. ❤

Omg you keep making me cry with these horses

Ahhh. I hope you find Lexon a buddy soon. Horses are such herd animals I'd hate to see him get depressed.

It was so sad to watch Lex watching Miss Debbie go. Like watching a mate or family member go. You are so strong because I could never raise animals to sell because they become a part of me. Hoping you find the perfect horse for your family.

Garage is looking great! Sorry to see your horse Debbie go ..but she went to a great family 😊❤

7:34 Eli looks soooo cute as a cowboy! Absolutely adorable! Have fun Eli!

It's good to know she is going to a good family. You can tell that girl knows what she's doing and Debbie is in good hands

Good morning and happy Saturday Jeremy, Melissa and kids

Your new addition is looking awesome!!!

Great idea thinking ahead for the 220. I have a 220 in my garage since I'm a potter, and I run my kilns off it. So...if you don't get an electric car, you could always get a kiln and play with clay. 😊

I’ve done drywall the exact same way and in town and passed inspections. No issue. Just tape and putty and lots of sanding. Welcome home.

I was wondering how you were so good with cutting out the receptacles. Thanks for showing how you worked it out! I had bought a pony for my daughter and it kicked her on Easter morning as she went to feed it. After an emergency surgery for a shattered liver, my daughter recovered well and still wanted a horse. We went to a horse sale and looked at several with a disappointing, "not that one". As we were walking by a barn a yearling paint stuck it's neck through a window and I walked into it. Almost knocked me down. Yes, we bought that one and had him trained for dressage and western riding. He got a 3rd place at his first competition. My daughter rode him for several years. When my daughter left for college. We sold him. Yes he was like a family member. My daughter went on to win several ribbons and awards for barrel racing and several years of driving wagons pulled by a pair of percherons at the National stock show in Colorado. It all worked out, praise the Lord. She doesn't ride horses anymore.

Your trip to Hawaii was beautiful but there's no place like home. A vacation really refreshes you to come back to work on the build. Sorry to see Debbie go but that family will love and enjoy her. Donkeys would be awesome to have! Another great video !

HI JEREMY, MELISSA AND FAMILY AWESOME VIDEO THANK YOU GUY'S ARE AMAZING HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS💥💯💥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was just about to mention the ranch in Kohala on the ‘Big Island’ of Hawaii!! Paniolo country!! 🐴 🐎

I've watched a lot of videos on building homes, I've always been a do it yourself guy. Two of the best built homes I've ever seen are the outsider and your channel. Jeremy is a really great builder. I love the perfectionist in his building. You all are a wonderful couple.

Another awesome video by a beautiful family. I just love Eli (TEX) in his plaid gear and big belt buckle.

Thanks for sharing with us, Gabby is coming along fine and nearing completion. Sure glad you found a great new home for the Older horse where she will serve the younger children well with her kindness and gentleness. You'll get the right match for Eli and a pony he can grow with also, there is a match out there. Stay safe and keep up the great work you all are doing , your sharing has helped many many folks in so many ways. Fred.

Congratulations on 510k, enjoying all your doing as a family God bless you All 🙏

My first thought was how much time you will save installing the drywall vertically, and for the garage, it's perfectly fine! 👌 It's looking great! 😀

❤ Glad Little Debi found a home. Wishing you much luck in finding the right fit hoarse down the road. ❤

Sorry to see Little Debbie go. She is a very pretty pony, but she looks like she is going to a family that she will be more suited for .... meaning they have younger kids that she will be with for a long time. Sometimes you just have to make those hard decisions, and you guys are very good at it👍🏻 It will be cool to see who Little Debbie's replacement is.🐎 You two are really motoring along with the garage .... looking good! I'll bet your parents had a lot of fun critter and house sitting .... despite the weather. Take care you guys .... have a nice weekend🐕🐎🐈🐈‍⬛🐇

Yeah 500k. Once you watch you are hooked. Great rescue Melissa. ❤

I cried seeing Little Debbie being taking away. I get it, that someone else will have the joy of riding her and Enjoying her. Just going to Miss her.

Lovely video !!!. Wow , you have a piece of Paradise where you are living. The view is breathtaking beautiful. The sunset was magnificently. I am happy for you your children living in such beauty surroundings with your animals that view, the quiet no traffic. You are doing a lovely job on the garage, you would think you were professional. I was impressed with your young cowboy of your family with his handsome smile. He proud to be cowboy. I am always impressed with your videos seeing what you are up to. I appreciate you sharing your family, your lives with us, always interesting. Thank you for sharing .

"Who's having fun putting up drywall?" 😂😂 That look on her face 😂😂! Me,too dear one, me too!! Love ya'll! Last week was wonderful seeing ya'll relaxing and enjoying his home!

seen the thumbnail pic ,read the title! That scared me...then you and Jeremy started working on the garage ,talked about vacation, and i read comments and realized its one of your fur babies leaving...not that ,this isnt heartbreaking too ,but greatful for the bond and love you and jer have for each other and your kids ,and that you do take down time to be together ,and not just work....big hugs to you all.

Great video as always but it sure looked cold! We had some crazy amounts of rain here in the Central Valley in California. Glad you found a good home for little Debbie and the additional animals sound great! No worries that you rehome a horse, you are doing what is best for them! So glad your “Gabby” apartment is coming along so well! Have a great week!

Hi family, awwwww Horse's needs family, a mate or friends of the animal kind. I hope he won't be alone long.

Melissa, you are so sweet about your children's connection to the horses. I hope you find the right fit soon. BTW, I loved last week's video. Vacations are a simply the best "break" of all.

I’m so glad your family got to experience Hawaii and see where he grew up. Great to see you back at the garage apartment.

AWH...The attachment animals have like humans is sweet, yet heart breaking when separated.

The weather in northern Idaho is somewhat cooler than Hawaii. I'll bet Jeremy doesn't get any more tanned now that you're home. Must have been a shock to the system. Glad you had a great time on your vacation! 💕

Melissa, kids grow and change, plus each one is different, just like horses. The right ones will appear. Your dry wall is stunning

I dont think he is only a little sad. I do understand your opinion about horses could be a stepping stone but i think with horses and i grew up with many, its good to plan as good as possible a little more longterm so there’s not so much coming and going.

Hello to my beautiful family.

Welcome home. I’m so jealous,you got to go to the islands while we sit here and freeze. I enjoyed your trip. Keep working you’ve rejuvenated your body. I enjoy your show, your such a smart family.

Looks like going to Hawaii ,was just what Jeremy needed. He looks so refreshed,and tan,and now ready to get the home jobs done. And Melissa you look just as happy to see Jeremy,s. Rejuvenation. Love your videos,your an awesome family 🙏🏻❤️

Melissa please wear a mask when working with all that dust .... Protect your lungs

Hope Miss Debbie’s new home is loving and her furever home.

Sometimes it's good to take a break, clear the mind, and recharge. Have a good week and count your blessings amen

Congratulations on getting over 500 thousand subscribers. Look forward to every video or vlog.❤

Thank you friends for sharing the update of the new project. The snowy landscape of the mountains is spectacular. Debbie's arrival will be a great ally for the family, especially for Eli. Happy weekend! 👍👍

Eli is one handsome little Cowboy!! You should not feel like you are failing with the horses, you seem to be making the right decisions for both your family and the horse. The apartment looks great.

Goodbye, Miss Debbie, so nice to see Kenji in several shots. Love to see sheet rock going up. I know it’s a pain but it’s also a big step forward. Love seeing the watering Hawaii.

This made my Saturday morning!! It’s a comfort to “spend time with y’all in N ID”! Seeing Little Debbie move to another family can’t be easy and yet seems a necessary step for Eli’s needs and in the end for Debbie. She will serve her next family well. As my tears fell and yours were close Melissa, I understood the heartache of letting them go. ❤ Thanks for continuing to share your life!

Really enjoyed watching 👍👍. Sad though to see the horse leave

Tell Eli I saw that big, shiny, awesome belt buckle! What a smart looking dude he is! Cowboy up!

In Belgium we put the drywall on vertical.

yikes thats cold!...good job!

Have y’all considered a captain’s bed upstairs? It has lots of storage underneath and you won’t need a dresser. Just an idea.

You are right. You can't force a connection. You'll find the right horse. It's hard to get your hopes up and then attached to the horse only to find out that it's not quite right. Little Debbie did her job well. She gave the kids a chance and the confidence to move on. Now she will continue to bring that same experience to other children. ❤

Jeremy, get a drywall screw setter from one of the big box stores. Itll make hanging the drywall much quicker, and only costs a few dollars.

Thanks for the update on Melissa’s parents taking care of all your animal companions 🐕‍🦺🐈🐇🐑🐎💖 while y’all were gone. 🌺

Finding the right fit for a horse for Eli is indeed a process, but the new loving family for little Debbie was a relief, I’m sure. Good luck everyone!🥰

Smart choice on the EV receptacle! Congrats on 500k

Gabby(my toy poodle)and I love watching all your videos,especially the ones about gabby the garage!!She loves all your animals.

Aloha! The addition is slowly and very methodically taking shape. Your presicion cutting is on point!

Sad to see Debbie leave the farm , but you are doing what's best for the family ! Loved the video ! ❤

GREAT JOB ON THE DRY WALL I LIKE IT

I love how you said that about not giving up on getting it right. Y'all are great parents and great life long partners in marriage,parents and making every leap in life as close to perfect as y'all can make it. Time spent together as family and sharing everyday life and journeys together is the best y'all can do for each other and for the kids. Continue walking that journey. Before you know it the kids will be grown and moving forward. Y'all have great memories to keep in y'all's heart and ❤❤❤❤❤❤ that. Again it's always such a joy to see there's still families out there that cherishes what God has blessed y'all with. Continued success in building and finishing up on this project which is amazing.

Awe, i teared up with little Debi leaving with that shot of Lexen, he is probably thinking i cant keep my friends 😢.. nice tan Jeremy ,probably as dark as me down under 😂😊

Yes it’s sad to see little Debbie leave but her season with your family ended and she will give another family years of sweetness. Love see Gabby drywalled. Nice job

Always a pleasure to watch your progress guys, Hawaii a vacation well deserved 🎉❤

Good to see cowboy Eli back in his element! He needs a mini cow to practice bull riding on! 😂

Sorry you had to let little Debbie go, but I am sure you will find the right horse for Eli.

I'm on the Big Island where my Mom was born and raised except om in Ocean View on the west side and she was born 120 miles away in Hilo. My Kid's were both born in Hilo and still live here one 39 years old and the other 35, Renee Lei O-Ka Malia and Richard Ikaika Wulzen. Love it here . I was born in 1939 in Alameda California , I have been here in Hawaii for 56 years. Lived on Oahu for in Makaha for 6 years and on the Big Island for 50 years. Oahu was way too busy and crowded, too much traffic and way too many people. Oahu 669 square miles and 600,000 people including all the military, big Island 4000 square miles and 190,000 people.

We had 2 miniature donkeys, they’re amazing! BUT, they don’t do well alone. Not even with a horse as a companion. They get very depressed. They’ll guard your barn & chase predators away. They sound the alarm when anything out of the ordinary. I’m a pet sitter, who does barns too, I’m doing to see 3 mini donkeys today. So, I still get my donkey fix!

Eli was so cute. Was his shirt buttoning off by one? Your kiddos are growing up fast. Love watching your channel grow.

The drywall makes such a big difference

That was a tough decision regarding Lil Debbie and Lexon's companion. On the upside, life in the country has more opportunities to learn from those types of situations. Here's hoping that you will find a good match - we have plenty of horses in Texas that you may look into if you don't find one in Idaho! I still remember when my parents had to give away our cat named Tom after Tom had kittens. Loved that cat, but we lived in a place at the time where it was not possible to house growing kittens. The pain was intense at the time. Looking back years later however, it prepared me for how real life choices can be made that create options instead of life choices that constrain one's future choices. Nice work on the drywall - sure is looking good!

Sad for Lexon to be alone again 😟

We understand, it is for the best. Jeremy, watch out you could be next :)

Isn't drywall and insulating the worst part of any build!? Nice to see you get a big chuck of it done and behind you now. I hope you guys read my comment on your podcast this past week. It is great to see you back to work on your dream home, and seeing Eli happy back in his cowboy clothes was great too. Have a great week guys. As always, sending love from our acreage to yours. PS we had to suffer the -30s up here and no Hawaii for us this year lol.

Little Debbie went right in the trailer, she was ready for her new season. 😊

Awww hope you find him a buddy soon. He looks sad.

Love you guys, thank you again for sharing your home, kids and pets with us! I have to admit that seeing Debbie go brought me to tears- I can’t imagine what you all must go through when you know it’s time to let them go to another family🤍 sending hugs😘

Bless you Melissa, the right horse will come along. Love the videos, Hawai was wonderful x

The way you putting the drywall is the best way in my opinion.... most Eu countrys do it that way. if u do it horizontaly u have a much longer seem to make blend then vertical drywall. keep up the good work. ''Wave and hugs from a old carpenter from Norway:)

That’s the cutest little cowpoke I ever saw!

You guys are my all time favorite family to watch. Love you all. So in joy the family Hawaiian vacation.

was just about to go sort the washer when your new post popped up. oh well wont hurt to leave it a bit longer, sooner watch your vlog, so much more interesting lol. loved your hawaii holiday, so melted my heart and in the pod cast you could see the pure pleasure and love jeremy had in connecting to his roots again.

Your garage is looking really good, you’re really making progress on Gabby. Good luck with your new horse find. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

I did that with my first horse, sold a gentle quiet horse, because I wanted something faster. BIG mistake. I never ever got a good horse like him, again. If I could go back in time, I would have kept that gelding, until the day he died. Really hope you won't be sorry.

love miss debbie so sad ,,,hopefully you will find another horse quick

Little Debbie was a great starter pony. You chose right. We all evolve along the way. It's natural. Can't wait to see the new equine addition. Eli looks so much the cowboy. So we will see if it sticks with him. ( I think it just might). 😊 Horses aren't puppies and need guidance and correction. They look for leadership and sometimes challenge the herd leader. ( YOU) its natural. Lexen definitely looked sad. Hope the Newby comes along soon. 😊 Being a herd animal, they need a buddy.

Prayers you all find the perfect horse for Eli.

Keep trying, the right horse will find you. As always, thanks for taking us along on your journey.

Great job everyone 💪🏼 beautiful horses 😊Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽😎🌴

Eli you are my hero. I was raised ranching and my late husband and I raised Texas Longhorns and Quarter Horses near Flathead Lake in Montana. Our country will always need cowboys. The build is looking great folks.
