We get a head start on next year's growing season assembling our 30 by 60 foot Rimol Greenhouse. Our rocky soil leads us to trenching our ground posts, once level and plumb we complete the bow and truss assembly followed by purlins and wind bracing. After three days of hard work we cook up kickin' swiss chard and craft a few ferments with vegetables from the garden.

    Guys I miss watching you cook with your garden veggies, I'm 70 and I've never had a garden look as good as yours....you make me wish I was young again, and lived in Alaska...❤
  • @drk218
    On a lighter note, my husband put up a new ceiling fan today. 😂😂 I swear I don't know how you two do all that you do. You guys are amazing!! ❤❤
  • @jodivanzant9376
    I love how you both work together to get a job done. You are respectful of each other, show patience, and help each other without having to be asked. It is a joy a couple like to work together.
  • @vernareed2692
    when I think about the huge quanset building,now the big greenhouse, AND your huge garden with raised beds and large fencing you have built this year WOW!! What an accomplishment, and just you two!! So amazing!! That's in addition to your other regular chores!! I never tire of watching Bandit! Love that dog 😊!!
  • @wendyd1013
    Not a single cuss word needed to be beeped out during the construction of that framework! You two are super human! 😁🖤
  • One day I'm going to be patient and go to bed instead of watching your videos, but today was not that day. I happened to see it 19 seconds(!) after you uploaded, so I really had no choice. The greenhouse is looking incredible - I have no concept of imperial units of measure, so 60 feet tells me nothing, but seeing those long lines of posts and how far apart they were really drove home how HUGE this thing is going to be. You're going to be able to have a garden only every two years with all the food you can grow there! Excited to see it all come together.
  • Teamwork at its finest! Your YouTube channel should be tutorials for all your homesteading projects! Many homesteading YouTubers should watch and learn! Great work, guys!!

    I wait all week for the next episode, Yes I am a senior 70 and wishing I did this when younger
  • @nomorehate9176
    I swear! You did all that hard hard work on the shop then immediately switched gears to building the greenhouse while the insulation was going in on the shop!! You're absolutely AMAZING!!!
  • Y’all work harder on a daily basis at your place than people do on a 9 to 5 job and you always make sure that you’re doing a perfect job, with you doing this all of your projects should last a lifetime. The 2 of you are just super talented and amazing, and you still make time to make a delicious meal. Can’t wait to see the finished building. You deserve a break after this for sure. Y’all ROCK! Love ❤y’all!

    Back in The Day My grandmother used to put sheets over the plants to help protect them from freeze
  • I Personally Think The Two Of You Work Very Well Together. It Always Makes Me Happy To Watch Your Videos. 🙏🕊️🌹🥀🌼🌻☕💜❤️👍😊
  • @robyn7287
    You guys never do anything on a small scale, everything on this property has been mega. Always finding a solution to any challenges and fixing errors. This green house has been like putting a meccano kit together with no instructions, well done.

  • @puirYorick
    Wow. Gardens grow amazingly fast up in Alaska.
  • You guys are machines! Its amazing what you two can do in such a short amount of time.
  • @diannebayley4644
    I rarely envy people - but, boy, would I love to have a partnership like yours. The adventures, hard work, cooking and sharing meals and tasks is just magnificent to see. Looking forward to the greenhouse.
