Building an Addition onto the Tiny House
มุมมอง 33919 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Hey everyone! We are so glad you are here. We have been so busy building the house, we haven't been able to upload an update. Well, we were able to squeeze one in amongst all of the building chaos. We hope you enjoy the progress as much as we do! So the question is, will it still be considered a tiny house after the addition is complete? We are building a 14x17 addition onto the tiny house. It ...

Thanks for watching and taking part in our journey for a life more free. We are building an off-grid homestead in hopes to obtain self-sustainability.

Hey everyone! We are glad you are here and are excited to share the roo coop build with you. We needed a way to separate the roosters because they are terrorizing the hens and smaller roos.

Installing a Lagoon Fence for the Off Grid Homestead
มุมมอง 5632 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey everyone! We are so glad you decided to stop by and see what we are up to on the homestead. In this video, Joe and I are building a fence for our lagoon. This will allow us to not only get an address, but build a bathroom on the homestead! This is a huge task to accomplish by ourselves. We were quoted $4500 from an outside company to put it up for us! So even with the challenges we faced, w...

Hey there! We are so glad you stopped by to see what we are up to. There is a new project everyday! Joe and I are working on making the "bedroom" of the tiny house. We don't use the loft space and I am terrified of heights, so it makes sense to tear it out. But once we get it out, then what?

    Ok, I will weigh in, your video is awesome, great idea going on a property search, you must find what is right for you, #1 you will never find the dream place you have in your head, #2 the place you find may be heaven for part of the year, and hell for the rest of the year, visit the area in all 4 seasons before committing. #3 for all you citiots out there, its not downtown anything to be done will have to be done YOURSELF, i can't find anyone local to help me, they are buzy working for themselves and to wasted to help others, or not capable of helping, contractors expect you to put them up in the closest hotel, and totally support them while they are there PLUS pay them bacon davis wages, bottom line YOU BETTER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO A SALE, #4 all these homesites you are visiting are someone else's FAILURES if they were happy and everything worked out the place wouldn't be for sale, it takes a special person to survive out there, you may think you can do it until you got to #5 people love to drive out in the countryside in the early spring see all the old ghost towns, and property for sale, some people lately think they will make millions on U-BOOB and live happily ever after, i have lived off grid sence 1982, forty years in California and five in Arizona currently an hour from the closest town, i wouldn't live anywhere else, you bet i know what i am talking about i have lived it, in short if you are the right kind of person, you got it, if not you are screwed, out here its total reality, no slack for the weak, nature doesn't give a dam, its up to you to succeed, or not, have a nice day.😊

When a man is encouraged and supported, by those who love him, even what seems to be impossible - becomes possible. Well done!

    What kind of gas milage did you get? and What was your avg speed? I presume you kept it under 70 (if it would even go that fast)? I'm deciding between the 26 Diesel from Penske or the Same 26 you used from U-Haul. I know I will load mine heavy so fuel economy/cost is a concern. Thank You.

    • @americanrootsfarm
      @americanrootsfarm หลายเดือนก่อน

      There were a number of factors that went into the fuel cost. We were towing and that added to the fuel charge. We rented three different ones overall, all U-Haul. A diesel would be the way to go, in my opinion.

    Hi Folks; I don't know where you live now so your range of searching may be different than others, but someplace you might not have considered (I now it sounds weird unless you have been here), is Northern Arkansas, I looked everwhere before amd landed here. lots of trees amd water, gpod land prices and cities within less than two hours from anywhere. Plus, if you are planning to build, you can do so with your own trees with only a sawmill. If you are interessted let me know. Thhere are also lots of business idea that work in this area. Skip
