These people were hard working, goal, and family oriented. The parents were a fine example to their children. To see Mick hunched over and sobbing was heart breaking. He is cut from a different cloth. Instead of giving up, he got his family moved in by Christmas. He is the very definition of the word, “admirable.” Here on, I hope he takes care of his health for his and his family’s sake. All the best to them and those like them.

Part of me was thinking, 'Okay, you have a history of heart problems, you have a wife and two kids who rely on you then you go and buy a crumbling ruin in a country renowned for its excessive rain fall '. Yet I was also thinking, ' What an adventurer and how great is it that your wife and kids believe in you '. I'd have liked to have had even half his grit and determination at his age. I can imagine how devastated they'd have been had they lost everything and had to move out of their dream home. I hope the last 13 years have been good to them.

Congratulations Wilmer family - amazing accomplishment!

This story actually brought tears to my eyes, this family 👪 😢 deserve everything they hope for, they are just fabulous .

[WilldoAldone]

Anything worth having is worth working for. Great little family pulling together for a good life. They both seemed so himble and kind.

I had a dream and lots of my work colleagues thought it was just that a dream.
After 15yrs of working, saving we have achieved our dream, we are now living in our house in northern Thailand, no mortgage and am retired early.
Living the dream!!!! Having designed the house and my wife project managed the build its great to see it all come together. The one negative is that my dad passed away so he isn't with us.

The thing I most love about this is the genuinely shared vision these two have . Also the care of their children. No parents madly dashing about and having to leave the children in daycares and programmes to occupy them, while the parents are unavailable . This truly is a dream worth having . I am at the end of my life now, having not been able to live my dream . My children are lovely, my husband a good man, but smiling in the face of adversity would describe my life . The kind of adversity I mean is that of deprivation of the soul . I shouldn’t complain, but I would have loved to have given my children a broader view, a larger experience . My husband is the quintessential family man, but unable to allow any trace of risk into our lives . I write, not to whine about my perfectly good life but to say how glad I am for this wonderful family who have chosen to live LIFE .🎊💕💥🥳 .

What a family? Tears rolling down my face for all their effort. The sacrifice, commitment and teamwork to build the dream. Terrible rude electrician.

[andreaandrea]

Amazing. I wish the VERY BEST for them, for this brave family, and that Mick Wilmer slows down a bit so his body can mend. His family needs him ALIVE! All Blessings to all the family.

What great lessons you have taught ur kids. I honor you and your family.

It's so good to see a success story. If ever two ppl deserved to have their dream come true, theses two did. I know this is actually a very old video. I remember seeing it years ago. This series, " Build a New Life in the Country" has many story's like this one, where ppl put everything on the line to make their dream come true.
The one that really grabbed my heart was about a wife who always wanted a home where her family could be self sufficient. Both her and her husband gave up their jobs and moved to Ireland to make their dreams come true. They had so many set backs that you really thought they aren't going to make it.She and her husband worked themselves silly to have a small home in Ireland, with a view that was spectacular. The husband especially deserved the greatest amount of praise because he had never done this kind of work before but he just kept on pushing while his wife took in sewing to make ends meet. It was called a" derelict house."
It's all about making your dreams comes true.

What a beautiful job Mick along with Jenny and the two children did on the home! Absolutely lovely!

[Khurrum]

When he confronted the plasterer I was so happy, the kids are so down to earth. Glad they succeeded.

[nupurgautam]

Jenny is absolutely lucky to have a husband like Mick, he is so committed to the happiness of his family, Money is not everything. It's hard to find guys like him these days.

[karlalton]
