I used to work for a foundation repair company out of Burlington and we had a job up in the Nantahala area and it was an adventure just getting to the job site. I love that area! Beautiful.

Started watching this at bed time last night and I'm back up at 6:30 starting another bing watch. I've been sick so I've been sick so I'm having to stop throughout the day to get something done around here. 😀😅

Amazing pretty place to build. Impressed by all the care in getting the footings on firm ground.

[bundylam]

Such a lovely part of the world. ...only say this from the views you show. Impressive!

[Leticiaxox]

seeing just how much this channel has grown and progressed over such a short amount of time is amazing!! i can honestly say that waking up and seeing your videos is the best part of my day right now, love from australia 🐨

I am always impressed how shallow the footings are over in the us, over here in brazil they are about 5 times deeper at least. But we build everything out of concrete and bricks, it is really rare to find a house made out of wood.

Just discovered your channel on YouTube! I’m an irrigation contractor in Florida for over 40years, and have built several homes for myself and others. Love watching you guys. Brings back memories from the many projects I’ve been involved with.
Merry Christmas to you all.

The Nantahala River has to be one of my favorite rivers to go down. I'm going to enjoy the build, views, and Jay's great jokes👍🏼

I love watching your subscriber numbers go up. I found your channel and starting watching just a month ago and, the first time I took note of it, it was at 739K subscribers. Now it's at 744K -- that's 5, 000 new subscribers since I subscribed! Woo-hoo!

As the new “season” begins I find myself feeling really fortunate that I found this channel just a couple episodes into the 1st build. I’ve really enjoyed the content. Great work guys, really looking forward to all of the future builds.

[toninica]

Glad to see you on a new project. I really enjoy. I'm waiting for video number 3. Thank you.👌
