WHO WE ARE
In 2015 we quit our lives in the city to buy bare land in the country and build a timber frame home from scratch with our bare hands, debt-free, with no prior experience. It’s been a wild ride of ups, downs, highs, lows, rain and rainbows, but we haven’t lost sight of our goals and have gotten further in three years than we thought we’d get in ten. Join us as we build our house, develop our rural property, practice traditional skills such as gardening and food preservation and go to even greater heights (literally) of exploring the world through aviation as a new private pilot!

SOME FAVORITE TOOLS & GEAR

[robertherzog]

Put four screws into the drawer fronts from the inside. You won't want the drawer handles to be the only thing holding on the front when you start putting weight in the drawers.

[Sqtgdog]

Well now I know i'll never want flush face cabinets. Thanks for taking one for the team.

[McAVITYourWay.]

I have never built cabinets from scratch, and to be honest, I do not believe I could, The reason you have is because you have a highly analytical brain, determination and sheer tenacity! My brother was the same, he would spend hours planning a job, then as long going over it in his head, but when he had finished said job, it was perfect!

[donsdiys]

Very nice. My grandfather always said “ if you’re not learning anything you’re not doing anything” looks like you have learned a lot.

[fredyoung]

Jessie. You did a beautiful job. Just think what ya learned on this project. You'll be able to build the kitchen cabinets without many concerns.

[colemadad]

Perfection is an admirable goal but accepting that you get there in steps and being happy with the interim results - is gold. Your cabinets look great for the intended application

[rperry]

Great job Jessie even though I couldn't watch every episode the work was so tedious I couldn't keep up but all that all sir be a fantastic job and as I sit and think you guys are really building a great marital relationship

[chipeddy]

Amazing job for a cabinet maker, let alone a “rookie”!

[FriendM]

🥳 Congrats! Cabinets and hardware look great. Love using Blum type hinges, all types of inset and offset versions .... 👍

[beachlife]

You have to set your bar super high, JESSE, nice work, now you could build your very own work bench table too

[kylegibbs]

Use small magnets to keep the doors from swinging past. It also helps hold them shut

[larrycobb]

Jesse, quit beating yourself up. I think you have done an amazing job being as it's a first for you. I can't wait to see the final product and they are put into use. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. Merry Christmas to all of you and may you have a blessed day.

[hasantheboker]

I have been enjoying your journey from the beginning just for thought less talk more showing your master pieces merry Christmas 🤶

[BossmanEight]

Sorry but you did not sand 1/8 - 1/4 inch of stock thickness off those boxes!

Simple miscalculations.

[handyman]

Cabinets look awesome. Great job. And nice recovery from cutting the face frame stock too narrow for the hinges.

[keymasterken]

Cabinets look great! Merry Christmas to you and your family and a happy and healthy New Year.

[MrGregsanderson]

Look out here he goes again. Time to turn the sound down

Pretty damn good if you ask me. So, you saved money +... you learned a lot ++... you have something that will last a lifetime +++... Building future memories...Priceless....!

[stevev]

Oh the memories of my first (only) kitchen! Hmmm should I do another?

[paulbarrett]

The hardest thing about being a cabinet maker is not telling others about your mistakes, the best thing about being a cabinet maker is hiding your mistakes so no one is the wiser... Marry Christmas
