DIYorDIE Off-Grid
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 29 ก.ค. 2011
Welcome to our channel! We are Justin and Lil, plus four kids and one on the way! We have been living full time, off the grid (no public utilities), in a 28ft RV while pursuing our dream of building an offgrid homestead on 18 acres of raw land. Our goal is to DIY as much of the house build as possible. We are also striving to build the house debt free through the entire process. Between the RV, vehicles, homestead, Solar power system, and the house build, there are always a million things that need to be done and never enough time. The art of DIY has become lost in this consumerist world that encourages buying, trashing, and replacing instead of living simply, creating things, and repairing them. Also, DIY saves tons of money! Our hope for this channel is that by sharing our journey, it will inspire and encourage others to pursue their dreams!
We Have Some Exciting News To Share! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! | Off-Grid House Build

Hey, Y'all, welcome aboard! We are Justin and Lil plus five kids! When Justin got out of the Navy, we had a tough choice to make. We could buy a nice house and raise our family comfortably in suburbia OR take a risk and do something extraordinary! Yep, you guessed it: we took a leap of faith, sold everything, and decided to pursue our dream to build our own home, comoletely off the grid, and live a more sustainable life. We hope you'll stick around and join us on our journey!

We have some exciting news to share with Y'all! Our precious new baby Boy was born this week. Mama and baby are doing well, and we are ready to hunker down and relax while we celebrate another birth, that of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We wish Y'all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Before Baby was born, Justin finally got to work on the roof sheathing and made some good progress! As always, he figured out the process for hauling the Zip sheathing boards up to the roof and got to work installing them. It was pretty nerve-wracking climbing in the rafters, so Justin pulled out his safety harness and tethered himself to the ridgeboard to prevent accidental falls. Now that he has the process down to a science, the rest of the roof should be much easier to install! Of course, we are taking a short break for the holidays and for Lilly to recover from having the baby!
See Y'all after the New Year!

In this video, Justin has to out-think his one man builder status. Building a roof solo is no small feat, but this may be the toughest part of the build yet. He decides to hoist the 2x8x16 header boards up using a pulley system, since the L47 tractor Pallet forks cannot reach the roof height. The idea has potential, but needs tweaking. Justin adjusts the pulley system several times until he has...
