Tying It All Together! Building Off-Grid Sawmill Log Cabin 

Happy long weekend everyone!! DO yall like Jazmyn’s new hair style?? We can thank the trees for the laugh 🤣 This felt like such relaxing summer week of building and hanging around the homestead. The gardens are producing, the bunkie is coming together and tangerine the excavator is here for all of it. Thank you for helping us name it. Also for the long weekend we were able to extend the merch shop a few more days 💛

Every week I watch as you create your own little paradise in such a beautiful place and how enthusiastic you are as you complete each stage of the projects.

You two are such a joy to watch and visit each Sunday!

You girls have amazed me with the amount of improvements you have made to your property, and work ethic. Stay safe!

You make everything you do look easy. I am awe-struck. Good job!! Supervisors, thank you for doing your job!!

That guest house looks absolutely amazing…..as are you two. You’re great builders! Love it!

Everything looks so wonderful!! Here's a tip: move those cedar trees away from the deck now before they get too big! They will also get wider as they get taller and will impact the deck, window, etc...probably move 2-3 feet from deck. Great work girls!

As usual, I'm sitting here enjoying my morning coffee while I watch the Vanwives build something new. My Sunday is off to a good start.

Possibly the greatest DIY show on all forms of Media. I would love to know if you ever fall out over any of the plans. Looking forward to the next edition ❤❤

Happy Sunday!! The property is looking more like a resort every week. The work you’ve done so far is amazing, looking forward to the finished product. Good stuff!!

Everything looks amazing! Just a quick hint, those pavers will probably shift over time, they need something under them to keep them stable (rock, crusher dust, sand, etc. Dirt tends to graduàlly move/shift under pressure from the pavers.

I recently found y’all’s channel and it’s embarrassing how many of your vids I’ve already watched🤣 my step son saw me watching and said, “they look like people you’d be hanging out with.” I truly feel that whenever I watch y’all! Thank you for your genuine, free, creative and hilarious spirits. Your messages matter and are such a value add. Thank you for your creations ❤

What a well-designed building you two built. The finishing touch with the decking, plus the steps and garden to complete it. Always a good job! Love from Mike. ❤❤

What a gorgeous little bunky; the 4 of you are amazing. Yes, I included supervisors 🙃 Roof done, gardens done, cement blocks laid and stairs done and bunky painted; all in only a half hour. Yes, amazing is the right word 🙂. One thing I do want to mention; there was a short part showing Izzy laying next to a rake with the points facing up - - no, no, no. The dogs and you could accidently step on them; the pups could actually lay on them. I trust this was a one time thing aye!! Love the little road you put in and watching Crystal enjoy harvesting your garden. OH, the name for the excavator is awesome...tangerine, cute. So, I'll let you ladies get back to it and look forward to next week. I got myself all fueled up in case you need help - go Cheerios. Bernie ❤

You ladies are so, so good. The bunky is beautiful. And, the landscaping is out of this world gorgeous. The life that you are continuing to build is a joy to behold.

I loved the Drone Footage which showed just how much hard work you two young beautiful girls have done since the first time you drove up to the cabin hidden by high bushes. The new cabin is amazing. Sending you both Love ❤️ and Hugs 🤗 xxxxxxx 🥰🥰

Almost to 500k and sooo well deserved!

you guys are so tough. I love it. I like that you two always finish your projects and don't get sidetracked.

Thanks for the recent video, your persistent hard work shines through, leaving a positive impact.

You two are absolutely amazing! So fun and such an inspiration!

Labour Day weekend and I am lazing the morning away watching the two of you labouring away. You always make Sundays even better. I hope you are enjoying your day too.

Do you two ever slow down? Amazing! Great roll models for the younger generation. Love your work ethic and love being able to watch you every Sunday. ❤️❤️

It's incredible how much you two can accomplish in such a short period of time. Well done. ❤

The cabin turned out soooo cute - the landscaping really brings it all together!!

Vanwives is the 1st on my Sunday evening relax. I look forward every Sunday…. Thanks lady’s and pack xxxxxx

You ladies rock. Watching you guys do this with my two pups makes me happy and absolves any anxiety I may have.

Bravo, beautiful ladies!! You teach us all that we can do anything we set out to do!! 🎉❤😍

Sundays are my favorite day when i see a new vanwives video ❤ cant wait to see the cabin finished ❤

Amazing job!I so look forward to Sunday mornings and your new adventures.See you next week 💛💛🐾🐾

Once again, Sunday Funday with the @vanwives! Took a break from cleaning, organizing, and building a workbench in our garage to watch! The bunkie looks awesome! Have a great week Jaz and Crystal!

I could listen to Jazzy talk all day...does she know her voice could be paid for

I love watching. Mostly the fact that you aren't afraid to tackle just about any project. Plus, I gotta admit, I love the eye candy. 😊

My Grandson and I love to watch your videos. We think you ladies are just amazing. We love to watch the projects you do. Awesome life, keep living it ladies.

Love the cozy vibe of your cabin and land on a moody, rainy day…and in the winter. Kind of sad you won’t be there in the winter…it’s just so pretty and tranquilifying!

Happy Labour Day Weekend !!! Your work ethics and dedication are truly an inspiration. Kudos to you both and the pubs. 👏👏 Have a great week. 🥰

I love seeing you working on the big machines. I’ve always wanted to do that. I’m 77 now, so my time has passed. I’m living thru you.

Stairs in one try yay! I was thinking “those green beans look so good” before knowing where they came from. Good job!

Such a great place!! Your friends will be so fortunate to stay there.

Happy labour day weekend ladies. The cabin “bunkie” looks amazing. The gardens and the steps just brought it all together. Jaz, love the new hairstyle, it’s very you. LOL

I love watching your videos every Sunday . Hope you have a wonderful week ❤

Oh, the bounty! I could smell the basil from here! 🌿 The bunky is fabulous. The whole place is looking so beautiful. Fruits of the labors🩵👍🏼🌼

You both are amazing! Love the bunkie too! Maybe consider painting the door a contrasting color? Have a happy Labor Day!!

I would SO live in that ADORABLE bunkie!!! It is beautiful ladies! ❤🐾🐾❤️

So proud of you girls. Thanks for your continued inspiration!

Thanks again for your inspiring builds. I just got an electric circular saw to help with sawing. I’m building some doggie steps , for an outside doggie door. It was so nerve wracking pulling the trigger, but it sawed through plywood like butter! Your videos gave me the courage to buy one and start building.

Y'all work so hard. Enjoy the long weekend. Make some beautiful memories.

I love watching your videos every Sunday! Thanks for the content.😊😊😊😊

Aaaah you ladies always leave me wishing for my own place to build my underground home!!! Well done on all the projects done!

The mini me cabin (guest accommodation) is looking fabulous, ladies. I look forward to seeing it fully completed. 😊

Incredible, absolutely incredible.Your skills are meeting every challenge, making each undertaking a success.Its looking dreamy ladies.Your exhausting efforts have paid off indeed.

You guys have so much experience now! I realize this is a kit but the fearlessness and gusto with which you tackle projects now is so amazing!!! I’m so happy for you two that you are accomplishing all that you desire!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

*She's might just be the most humble and heartwarming person to exist*

These ladies are incredible! Share this video with a friend! 💙

You both amaze me every week, and you are like clockwork, I look forward to watching every Sunday, keep up the great job!

If get my weekly exercise vicariously through you two. You're amazing. I get exhausted just watching all y'all...

You girls are incredible! Amazed at how much you guys build and do together!! Makes me want to learn lol

There's something called a thunder jacket for dogs that help comfort them during intense storms or just nervousness. I highly recommend.

You girls should put in a stock tank pool next year. An extension off your deck. Bet you would get lots of use out of it! Bunky looks awesome!

This show motivates me to build my own tech company. Just look what's possible if you put your back into it.

Loved your 80s hair while painting! Rock on! 😂

I simply adore you two amazing young women!!! Thank you for all your shares in your journey. Sometimes so hard but worth ALL of that. It’s a beautiful story being written every day with intention. ❤❤

That salad with all your homegrown veggies looked delicious 😋 ‼️‼️ Never saw lemon cucumber before. The bunky is adorable ❤ Hugs and scratchies to Bella and Izzy❣️🐾🐾

Hey VW the project is coming along and looking good. It is amazing how your previous builds are making this job easier as you are so much more knowledgeable and accomplished. Happy gardening, enjoying the fruits and vegetables of your labor.😊

how freaking cute is that cabin?? Love it. And, love the skirts. Adorable.

You girls are amazing just think of all the skills you have acquired in building your beautiful home❤❤❤❤

Your story has become on of the things that makes my province an amazing place to belong.

So great to watch you two do what you love. The gardening, eating the harvest (how cool is THAT!) working with the machines (that you both love to do) and just seeing what you two can accomplish. Just awesome to watch all of it. Thank you ladies.

Your bunkie and landscaping are looking great! You two sure know how to GET STUFF DONE! You make a great team. ❤

Your property is gaining value daily. Congrats on great designs.

Thank you for sharing you're amazing builds! I absolutely love watching the two of you create beautiful things together.

You 2 are such incredible hard workers! The cabbie looks soo cute, can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the inside.

Good afternoon from Finland ❤ enjoy watching my girls with a nice cup of coffee.

Love the Bunkie! Love the road! And the stairs to make Izzy's walk up easier on her! The garden is looking superb! The greenhouse garden is doing great and all the herbs you got for dinner! Every vlog I get impressed all over again!!! I live vicariously through you both! 😀

Happy Sunday!.☀️Two very strong amazing women 💪

Beautiful work ❤ go pack go!!!🐾🐾🐾

Hoppy Ling weekend y’all… Thanks trees for the laughs 🤪😆🤣 Jazmyn, you absolutely rock the Tree Due!!!!!!! Oh My Goodness 👏👏👏

Love your crafts and the brave woman that you are. Blessings Love and light 😊

Every week you both amaze and bedazzled me with your ideas, hard work, and commitment.❤️

I really love your filming format. We get to see so much progress. I love it, and am excited for next weeks progress. Things look great!!!😊

Love the 'do, Jaz! The lemon cukes looked prime, and the bunkhouse is so cool. Watching all y'alls progress in your building skills is inspiring. Thank you, so much, for sharing your journey!

It was great seeing the progress you made with the bunk house. Take care, ladies, and see you next week❤❤❤❤

The bunkie looks so fantastic, and that's from a build kit??? I love it so much. Crystal, be sure to save some seed heads from your perennial flowers to self-sow around the perimeter of your property that is in the sunshine. You will have flowers growing on the edge of the woods wherever it's sunny, and your pollinators will love it. Everything looks so beautiful. What an incredible journey you've been on building out this property. Thanks for taking us along on the ride. Be well.

Ladies your bunkie is coming along so nicely. Have a fabulous week.

Your home and property is so beautiful!!

You two are awesome. Love the Bunkie can’t wait till it’s finished.

❤ What a WILDERNESS ESTATE you have!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Hey there. Been watching for a while. I know you only have the excavator for a little while. I love them as well and I just went out and got one for myself. I went and ordered one from China directly. It is a smaller unit but still 1.5 tons and they make up to mega sized ones as well but for me 1.5 tons was good enough. It can dig up to 2000mm deep and can lift about 1 ton. It is wide enough to be stable and narrow enough to get to all the tight spots. You could order it with expanding tracks to make it wider or narrower depending on where you need to fit it. I ordered it with a normal digging bucket, and wide smoothing bucket and rake attachment. It has a swing arm and hydraulic thumb and uses a pilot driven system with advanced hydraulic pumps. The dozer blade is about 20 mm thick so a nice thick dozer blade. It can be made with a Kubota engine and or a Briggs and Stratton engine. either gas or diesel. Mine with all the aforementioned and shipping and delivery to my house including unloading as only .......wait for it.............$6,400 total. Thus you could get a toy to keep around forever. BTW I did not state that you can pick the color you want for no extra charge (My wife wanted it in Pink for her to drive) I am not a sales person for any of these, just someone who knows the joy of an excavator toy ad thought you might like a cool toy at a great price. Ping me if you want more information.

Now to add either an awning or a covered porch for shade and weather protection so no rain is wind driven into the doorway. I love the landscaping! Everything is beautiful

Great job ladies the new cabin is coming along nicely. I think adding the extended path for the tractor is a great idea. Best wishes with getting on top of the roof

I love the new Tiny Home, i can't Wait to see what you 2 do in the inside! You 2 are a great team! Great job ladies! Hope you have a great week. Love LOVE LOVE your videos!!! ❤️

I love how you’re giving critters a safe space to go under the bunkie! ❤ winter is coming!

The bunkie looks amazing!

You two are a great team! Loved watching everything come together! Great project and driving the Kubota between the new Bunky and your home! You two are inspiring! 🙏😊

You girls make my weekend!!❤ always love hanging out and seeing what’s new. That food looked delicious!! Have a great week. Love you ❤😊

Everything looks awesome. See ya next week

Nice job ladies! Your detailing really lifts the project to super sweet! I agree with you about the stain - much nicer if you can see the grain of the underlying wood. Opaque stain simply looks like paint. Congratulations once again 😊👍 What is happening with the lakeside cabin? Have you been out on the houseboat again? No shortage of content idea for you gals 😆

Awe was looking forward to seeing if you guys got the fold flat ladder! Bunkie looks fantastic

The Bunkie is looking great. yes the skirting makes a big difference to the look of it. you both work so hard to accomplish your dreams and it always pays off.

Haha, Jazmyn's hair was beautifully wild. I can imagine combing all the tangles out. Bunkie and the area around it looks great. Awesome video.

The bunkie looks FABULOUS! - ❤your supervisors! Jazys hair was beautiful LOL
