A subscriber for 2 years who doesn't post comments because I'm usually so engrossed in the videos. But man, I gotta say, you guys are inspirational. This is a lesson not only in building a house but nurturing relationships and family. Much love and respect from New Zealand. 👍🙏

You must be so proud about how Carter has stepped up in the current situation. What a awesome kid.❤

Erin is just there: teaching, building, filming, editing and being a mom. What a woman!

I never expected I would enjoy the build without Josh, but I am blown away by Erin and the kids. I enjoy watching how your family supports each other and think it’s so beautiful. Impressive work, Erin! And great job, kiddos!

So impressed with how Carter has stepped up to be "man" of the house. All three have jumped in to help. I know you are very proud of all of them. Get well, Josh!

The phrase "to have ones back" could very well have been coined by you guys specifically. You’re mastering every curveball coming your way by being so supportive of eachother.

To Say you are an “ Asset” as an wife, partner, mother, friend and a teacher for your family is a major understatement!! You and Josh are inspiring to say the least!!! Thank you both 🙏🙏

I'm always amazed at the perfect team your family is. The patients, the willingness to jump in where needed. No frowns, all smiles. This is an example of what every family strives to become. Great job!

There is little left to be said, you are indeed a remarkable person, wife, mother and a terrific partner Erin. The children are learning a valuable life lesson they would never be taught in school. Get better soon Josh, you have all the presents a man could ask for, all around you.

I don't comment much...but the effort to take the time to let Ellie drive screws and snap lines is amazing, especially when you're against Winter! I need to follow your example 👍🏻

I really hate that Josh got hurt, but watching you and the kids knock this out of the park is awesome! I am super impressed with all of you, including Hayden, who has the enviable 😄 task of keeping his dad still. Watching Ellie help is precious! The whole Christmas tree segment was beautifully done! 🎥🎄

Leon! Can't get enough of him. If he could move in your house that would be his choice - haha! Praying Josh gets healed up soon. Encouraging to see your kids step in to help their Mom. Love & prayers, Ron & Lisa

Continuing the build... managing the livestock... looking after Josh... and Christmas locked down. Just incredibly impressive on all fronts. Your drive and determination are inspirational.

Josh better heal fast, otherwise house will be fully built! Erin’s killing it!

I've watched every episode from the beginning of this amazing project and because I've seen so many awesome things being planned, built and completed, I've never been able to choose which episode was the best, that is, up until now. This is definitely my favourite. Without actually stating the reasons why, I'm pretty sure that all those who have followed this amazing family from day one, will know. Total respect to you all.

The life skills you let your kids develop from such an early age is so precious and invaluable. They have so much diversity and tenacity and an awesome testament to your example. Big hand to Carter for filling some big shoes with ease.

Josh should be very nervous … 😂 way to make it happen woman. You are a force of nature.

We can't forget Hayden...we know he's helping out extra inside or wherever he's needed! Love watching your family pull together !

Erin, I think you are the top celebrity in the world and should be nominated for a Supreme Grammy Award. Not only do you perform your duty as a wife, mom, teacher, photographer, film editor, motivator, nurse, chef, cleaner, planner and organizer but you also perform man's duties like driving a tractor and other heavy duty equipment, do real carpentry with real heavy equipment, trench digger and filler, cement and concrete mixer, painter and stainer, woodburner/decorator, farmer and so much more, with no moaning and groaning but with a smile and a laughter in each of your videos. You are really somebody with exceptional qualities and I applaud you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love you guys.

These last 2 episodes were so inspiring to witness. Your family rallied together to get the time sensitive jobs done so that Josh could rest & heal from his injuries... and what a beautiful, empowering time for Erin and the kids to realize what they can accomplish without the very knowledgeable and great builder man of the house. I LOVED seeing Ellie using power tools this episode and how Leon wants to be right in it and comes in for snuggles in the last episode... but best of all I loved seeing how all 3 kids stepped up to the plate and how the parents interact brilliantly with the kids.

Josh getting hurt is not fun but doing that work with the kids will be one of the happiest memories you will have. It’s the tough parts of life we get through with others that binds us together and matter the most.

For thousands of years men passed these skills on to their sons, and rarely did women gain access to learn them and even fewer were able to pass them on to their daughters. As a woman in a technical field working with nearly only men, it makes me beyond happy to see how far you've come, how much Josh has honored your ability, and how now your girl will someday say "my mom taught me that". ❤️

America's prettiest carpenter, but also highly-qualified, along with a great crew of helpers. This crew rocks. Well done.Stay safe.

Completely awesome how you two mix work with humor and love. There's no feeling sorry for yourselves..... you just masterfully all push on together. Im blessed watching your family dynamics as much as your building skills. Rock it family!!!!

I'm impressed, not for the construction because Erin has that totally in hand, but because the she took the time for the youngster to get involved and help out and also get some video shots as well.

What I love seeing the most is your sons and their sister ,helping because they are learning one ,not to be afraid to tackle any project, and two Basic skills of carpentry Hass to be experienced more than just told about. You are doing a great job mom .this is what raising great men like their father .it’s good to see someone in this day and age Who understands the big picture ,and loves their children enough to teach them how to survive on their own .great job.

Josh doesn't have a wife, but just gold. And the children are great, they always help their mother. Wonderful family, you look and rejoice

Many of us are blessed to have partners in life who take up the slack when we are down and out. That goes both ways. Watching you teach Ellie how to be independent in life with skills that a mother teaches with both patients and love, will follow her through out her life. I love this All "AMERICAN" Family God Bless! "Children learn what they live"

I imagine how hard it must be for you to go through moments of pain. But I can also imagine the pride you must be feeling in your wife and child doing this excellent job. Stay well and get back to work soon! God bless you and your beautiful family!

I don't know if I have the right to even say this, but I am so proud of you for powering forward with the build. Filming and having the kids help too. 👍🏻👍🏻

Erin great job on the framing work! Think Josh is gonna milk it and stay on the couch with your quality of work 🤣😂 Little Ellie is growing up right before our eyes. Momma’s teaching moments were precious. 🥰

So great to let your little dancing queen assist with putting in some screws. She'll remember this day forever.

You Got this Erin!

Doing a fantastic job Erin. Your son is a great helper, also.

Thanks Hayden and Ellie for helping your mom while Josh gets his ribs healed up. I am sure proud of you Hayden. You did good! Erin, what I like about you is your 'can do' attitude. I know, as a mom , wife, builder, etc.; that you are stretched thin with so many roles, but you are doing a awesome job! Josh has trained you well to where you build things on your own. Awesome job Erin, awesome job!

Love ... love ... love ... how you’re including the kiddos - not only teaching them “how to”, but teaching them team work!!!

You Are so inspirational Erin. Keep it going! And I wish Josh a speedy recovery. Get well soon Champ

Oh Erin you're full of it! We've watched you develop excellent carpentry skills in the last 4 years, you're strong, and who here believes that Josh is a tough boss to be afraid of? NOT! Josh has all along been a good teacher and coach and cheerleader. He's always proud of you. Both of you have high standards and you are doing GRRRREAAT !!!! And watching Ellie learn to drill makes me cry :)

I’ve commented a few times on your videos and y’all are such beautiful people. You see it in the comments from others today, as well as so many other times, about how much y’all inspire us. We comment about the love and devotion plainly visible between Josh and Erin. We get teary eyed being allowed to watch three such wonderfully loved children grow before our eyes. We, myself included, are constantly searching for the right and best words to share how much you impact us. We become shocked at how much we cheer for Chuckie (the real brains of the operation…lol) and for Leon (your protector). For me, twice a week for just a few moments the universe pauses, Heaven holds its breath, God stills the noise of the world, and I am witness to true manifestation of the fruit of the spirit; love, joy, peace, forebearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no question of the love, joy, and peace present in your family. What strikes me personally more is that no matter the project, the circumstances, the successes, or the challenges there is such an overwhelming presence of kindness and gentleness so powerful and so tangibly real I think you don’t realize how much you genuinely impact others in such beautiful way.

I just love the teamwork you guys have, you're doing a great job without Josh while he's healing up. I absolutely love your guys channel, hope you a speedy recovery josh

Sending healing prayers for you Josh. Wow! Carter, (Josh-2.0)has certainly stepped up to stand beside his mother. Great job!

A family pulling together to support each other. Love it. Glad Josh is doing better. Never doubted Erin could continue with the work, after all the experience you have gained since beginning your house build. Thanks for sharing. Michael (from Scotland)

Goodness girl!!!! You are an inspiration. Even Carter and Ellie pitched in to help build their home. The patience you show when guiding Ellie and the confidence Carter is showing is testament to both yourself and Josh. You are truly a wonderful family. Blessings from a very cold and snowy Manchester UK💜🐝

Josh's back has not dulled his sense of humour, and it's nice to see the kids helping and learning. We have had a 100 mph gale here and lot of damage miles of power lines down trees on houses

Carter and Erin ROCK!!! But truly it’s a family affair…Love this family and channel!👍👏

You and Carter are an AWESOME team...Josh is PROUD!!!! We ALL are proud....YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!!!! Carter you are turning out to be quite the young man responsible and trustworthy 😊 keep up the good work!!!!!

Wow, those little one's are all stepping up to the plate to help mum while dad heals. Be proud of the great job you have done as parents and hats off to your kids for stepping up. This is exactly what a great family does.

Carter and Ellie are doing so good with helping mom. I love seeing that.

Great job, Erin!! Hat's off to you and the kids for picking up the slack, make sure Josh stays smart and give it the time he needs to heal all the way, and you won't have to wait longer for his full recovery. Goes to show you what can happen when the whole crew is pulling in one direction, and thanks to Josh for doing some of the finish work on the photography editing. Josh, you trained everyone well, and you are a blessed man to have them all. Cheers!!

Some really good teaching and learning going on in this build. I noticed how Erin checked level, only put a couple of screws in the hanger, checked level again, and then put the rest of the screws in. Top-notch approach. Well done! EDIT: The student becomes the teacher! So great the time you give and the patience you show with the kids!!!

Who would give this a thumbs down? Pretty amazing that you are managing camera, construction, children and wounded husband. Most def the most heart warming one of your episodes that I have seen. Thank you!

Amazing to see a good woman take care of her man, while trying to secure their property before winter. You rock Lady, be safe!

There is no better example of female empowerment than this 17 minute video, Great job Erin.

Erin can do it. With a tiny bit of help and encouragement from all the channel subscribers, Josh the ranch animals and family. That's an Army , no way it's not getting done. Go ERIN!

10:55 That was amazing to watch you daughter use the drill so well. Great teacher, Mom!

Gee Erin, you're a special kind of woman. You stepped up to the task and got it done. You have my respect. Love your whole family and Leon.

Well you have the skills and are proving that to everyone. Well done and Josh can rest easy while you and the kids keep progressing with your wonderful home. What a great team you all are.

I love seeing how serious Carter is when he's helping you. And Ellie is an adorable little helper. She reminds me of my daughters, always ready to help me with my DIY projects. Also, I hope there will be some Leon merch in the future.

Mountain momma' rocking away with the kids helping while Josh is laid up - WOW!! Actually brought tears to my eyes. You are definitely helping me motivate myself to finish a bathroom vanity install. Thank you. Another super video.

No one should ever have doubted that you could carry-on and do the job yourself, and your son and daughter have stepped up as one would expect. Great job.

Its great seeing you guys making the kids responsible and teaching them how to jump in and work and get things done. That doesn't happen much anymore.

I am from the UK and I’d just like to say you’re doing a great job building your house and raising your family you are living proof of the American dream x

Josh having worked with Erin as a team and sharing some of his skills and experience, and taking the time to help her learn to operate machinery is now paying dividends. Erin passing along those same skills with their children is wonderful to see and will likely garner future dividends for their family. Shared knowlege, shared effort and responsibility makes for a strong and successful family. Good job to all!

Hardest thing for a man to do is to stay actively quiet and calm while he heals. You have a beautiful and strong family there Josh. 💕👍🏼. The tree looks wonderful. 🎄

Great job Erin! and all of the Kids stepping up to the plate, they are growing up so fast. Josh we are pulling for you for a speedy recovery. To bad your friends and neighbors of the RU-vid community can't come and help. Looks great.

Josh literally could be on the cast of Vikings. Give the man some armor and a sword!

No amount of money could buy the real world experiences you are sharing with your children. You and Josh are great parents. Thanks for taking us along on your journey!

Erin, we are so very proud of you, you are teaching the kids that working for their future is worth it. Josh, you ate a very AWESOME teacher, we know you are PROUD of Erin and your kids. May God Richly Bless your family.

I used to think it would be impossible to pick a favorite episode of Wild wonderful off grid until this one. Seeing the kids help you and Josh giving such praise hit me in the feels.

Wow! Erin you’re amazing. Not only continuing with the build, and doing jobs Josh normally does, but also still filming (and editing) and no doubt feeding the kids and schooling them too. Phenomenal!!

I've been watching since the first episode and this may be my favorite episode yet. Just magical seeing the whole family pull together while Josh is out of commission, just doing what needs to be done. So much joy in watching this show.

Erin, you have the "can do" spirit of the ladies that built the military equipment for our soldiers in World War II. They ferried the planes and drove everything from rivets to trucks. As a veteran, I salute you.

3:52 Glad to see Josh is helping with the editing while you are out there grinding!

Every time I watch I feel like I’m transported back to a time that was simpler in my own childhood. What a great job you guys are doing not just on this build but as parents! Your kids are incredible and the experiences you are giving them are priceless. ❤️❤️

Again I can’t believe the way your family pulls together. It just shows me that the two of you have raised three beautiful children not only do they help they know what needs to be done. Josh is a very lucky guy to have you as his wife he should be very proud of you.

you guys are not only building a loving home you are also building memories that the kids will never forget your little princess is always going to be proud of that porch because she helped so are the boys great job family great job

Working with your sons and daughter, those memories they will take with them always!! Way to go Momma!! Hope hubby gets better soon!!

Great job Erin and kids, you guys made dad proud! Love that tall Christmas tree 🎄 Rest and get better Josh! God bless your family! 🙏🏼🎅

It goes without saying that a strong mother and wife holds the reins when times are tough. But to employ the oldest son to carry some of the load is special and teaches him leadership and life skills. Valuable life lessons right there!

Every man should be so lucky to have a good woman to be able to carry on the duties when he can’t. Josh, you are one of those lucky dudes. As mentioned below, I too love to see the “young ones” getting involved and learning. Great job guys.

Could not love this more! The work continues, the family stepping in, lessons learned for all, and corners not cut. I know its killing Josh, but watching everyone keep the ball in motion is awesome. What an incredible family, opportunity, and inspiration. You ALL rock!!

All the kids did amazing work!! Kudos to you both for your parenting skills and raising productive young humans 🥰😊❤️✌🏽

As Josh said, we knew you could do it, you are totally killing this projects, great job by the kids too. You are closing in on a MILLION subs too!

Well done🙌 You make all the women proud that are watching. Josh trusts you to do it right, you have been working together all this time, you have the skills. Teaching the kids as well, this way they won't be coach potatoes! I love your family's work ethic. 👌💐

Your family is a National Treasure. Seeing how functional your family is, how Ellie can drill a screw into the beam, and Carter just steps in and takes over Josh's place, and Chuckie clears the worksite and you are now laying the drainage and backfilling and putting up the front facade and getting the Christmas tree up and decorated and Josh is so positive and appreciative and encouraging.... just a blessing to watch.

After my hip replacement, I got a "sock puller" tool. Handy! And a grab stick. You've got a small fortune in Simpson hardware. To flush out the Durock backing, you can also attach the corner hanger first to the floor headers 1 1/2" back from your flush surface. In any case, nice work! It is excellent you are involving the kids in your projects. They will gain a sense of ownership as well as learning valuable skills and work ethic. Win-win-win-win ...

As amazing as it is to see Josh work super professionally with the excellent help of Erin, it's so nice to see Erin do everything by herself because it's a bit more relatable for us who are skilled DIY enthusiasts but not trained professionals. And like in the previous video it is wonderful to see the kids help so much and work on the house. Ellie helping so much, operating the impact driver at such a young age is proper parenting right there. Love it. Great job y'all. Keep up the good work.

I love it that your oldest has stepped up to the plate while dad is healing. God zBless, Josh heal in God speed.

Josh as the master builder on this job you should be proud, the apprentice you've been training has/is demonstrating the all the training has been absorbed and can be employed with little or no guidance. I'd say Erin has reached without question the journeyman status. Not only that, but she is more than adequately starting the basic training of a new group of apprentices.

I was just thinking that Josh might end up milking the injury as long as possible seeing how well things are getting done, then he basically says the exact same thing. Too funny!!! You guys are always a joy to watch.

WOW what an amazing family, seeing you all come together in such difficult times. such an inspiration, i hope Josh is feeling better soon. God Bless you.

You're doing such a super job!!! I love how your whole family works as a team. BTW, that's the most beautiful Christmas tree ever! Wishing Josh a very speedy recovery!

What a wonderful video! Indirectly, Josh's injuries might become a blessing in disguise. Look what it's doing for your children! You aren't just building a house--you're building children into confident, competent, and caring adults. I can hear how much you miss Josh in your voice. It shows in your eyes, too. Again, a blessing in disguise might be that you're showing your family (and us by extension) how important and beautiful your bond to each other is. I wish you all the best, in the build and in your family. What a blessing you are to those who follow you. God bless you all!

Erin, first, you're doing a GREAT FANTASTIC job, and you are a TROOPER! This is how you develop the skills - just do it! I'd suggest putting in the brackets first. Use some cutoff pieces to get the spacing from the front of the posts. "We want to eat something that tastes good after all..." get Josh to just do it, too - teach him how. On the downspout, maybe put a 2x frame around it to protect it. It's so good seeing the kids working with you. This is SOOoo good for them, too! Good plan on the durock. I'd recommend check plumb on the edge of each new piece rather than just fitting them together to prevent accumulated error. "this rib thing might last a couple extra weeks" - I don't believe it, it'd kill me to have to stay down when stuff was happening. Great music, great cinematography. Tell Ellie she's a movie star! We're finishing up a fix-n-flip rehab, then start on OUR home build in the country!

Continued best wishes for Josh to recover. Great job involving the kids in the project. They will remember it for their entire lives.

Absolutely love the closeness, strength, appreciation,mutual respect and love that binds your family together!💕💕💕

My heart filled with joy when Ellie operated the drill driver all by herself. And Carter is so amazing and strong! And I am sure that behind the scenes, Hayden is taking really good care of his father. Awesome bunch of kids, Josh and Erin!

That makes me so happy to see a young man step up and help their parents like that !!! He is a awesome young man and all your children are very respectful the world is missing that how days

This is the stuff America was founded on. People getting on a train to the wilderniss to stamp out a life for themselves with their bare hands away fro feudal serfdom to and dependency from enemy rulers. Huge respect 💪🏻
