Both great purchases! Trailer has a great layout and what a big kitchen for that size trailer. And your ranger will come in quite handy! Congratulations!
You need a good week once in a while to keep you going. FYI, over here on my part of the planet, NW OR, I fortunately have yet to have a high over 80. Nothing better than dove hunting for fun and exciting times. Well until quail season anyway
Gosh this video made me homesick. As you were driving to look at the travel trailer I could tell exactly where you were on Hwy 95 in ID and then on 195 in WA you were about 10 miles past the turnoff to my brother's house. This has been a strange year weather wise up there so don't be too worried that it's the norm. With the La Nina weather pattern though you might be in for a snowy winter. Congrats on the trailer and Ranger!
Yeah, we know this is not the norm. Before the trailer, we were in the full sun working with no relief from the sun except an easy up...so that made it feel 10 times worse. Now we're good with the trailer 😊
Love watching you build your place!! Nice trailer! One suggestion? Make sure you put a tarp or something over the top of the slide in inclement weather as wind can push rain through the gasket and get inside. Love the Polaris too!! Can't wait to see more!
Great video Guys. You are def. blessed. Good things happen to good people and the two of you are def. those. I look forward to seeing your videos, altho that hat that hubby is wearing is stretching my "seeing" abilities. :) Take care, God Bless, be safe.
Awesome news congratulations guy’s very happy for you ❤️I’m in the process of looking for a travel trailer for my friend of 50 years he recently lost everything to the McKinney fire in Klamath River as he says it’s just stuff congrats again on the great news an awesome trailer smart idea to relieve some of the pressure you guy’s are such great people ❤️❤️ as always stay positive an humble an be safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations on passing the electrical inspection and getting it hooked up. Also a big congratulations on the trailer. Really enjoying the videos. I can’t even tell you how much I look forward to seeing them each time
Good move with the Polaris. While the don’t have a loader option (yet that I’ve seen), they are good with a plow and can do many other hauling chores a tractor isn’t designed for. Rig up a towable grader to pull around the lot when you need to level/smooth the pad or road. Simple and easy to get good/fast results Look for a set of tire chains and switch the winch to synthetic if it is steel.
I forgot to subscribe to get your notifications but I am subscribed now. That is awesome. You guys are doing and congratulations on your trailer and Polaris what a awesome score, what a blessing. Amazing job thank you for sharing your life story
I really do enjoy watching these videos. My wife and I plan to do the same thing when our kids are off on their own(still in grade school😁). Right now we are on the daily grind and saving as much as we can so we can do this one day. Watching you guys motivates us to keep working towards our goals/dream. Thank you for sharing your journey! on another note I was also wondering did you guys get any "grief" from Idaho people moving from California? I don't know if its true but I heard sometimes that happens. What a lot people don't realize is just because we are from California does NOT mean we believe or agree with their politics or values.😁
Sounds like you are on the right track to getting to where you want to be in the future. We heard the same thing about not being welcomed, but it has been quite the opposite. Everyone is so friendly.
CONGRATULATIONS . Just a friendly suggestion. Buy 1 or 2 tons of straw or hay. Its going to get very cold since you will not have the house completed in time for winter.. Most trailers are not set up properly against winter temps, so Take the bales of cured straw or hay< which will weigh 50 to 100 pounds each> and stack them on the ground,up against the trailer, all the way around to seal and insulate. Do not block any vents. If it gets cold you will need the insulation. Also buy and fill 1 or 2 100 gallon propane tanks and keep them on site, or have a local propane company bring in and set a 250 or 500 gallon propane tank instead. of the smaller tanks .When it gets cold you will be glad you did..............
That is genius! Would have never thought of that! Thank you! We are hoping the pole barn will be done before fall/winter hits. We will also be getting ready to install a propane tank soon. That is in the works
@@YouMeandtheFencePost Thanks. Its just local country tricks, and they work well. But better check with the local building inspector. I dont know if its legal .
Its also a great idea to have a medium sized freestanding woodburning stove < not a pellet stove >included in your house build. Freestanding , not a insert or a fireplace built as part of a wall. the insert is not efficient at all,................... a freestanding stove toward the center of the room can and will heat the whole house. A insert will not.
congratulations on the trailer!!! Now think in advance about how to winterize the trailer... Hopefully the Barn will be ready, but I saw many YT than couldn't finish the barn on time and suffer the winter... Nice vids!!!
Might not have been the primary plan but I think that will be way better for you guys "long term" instead of the Jeep. Being more comfortable will actually be beneficial health wise for how long you guys will need to use it for. Not sure if you did but putting some support legs under the slide out will be a good idea with how long the slide will be out for. Great looking progress and it is going to be so awesome when it's all done.
Been there done that, as have many. Suggestion. Purchase and connect the trailer to whatever sized propane tank you'll need for the house. It'll save you from lots of hassle this winter. Happy for you guys!
Yes, we know many people have done the trailer on the property while they build, but we were trying to avoid having to do that. No worries though and propane is one the short list of things to do. Thanks for the suggestion.
You guys are doing great! I will have the same experience in two years when I retire and move from Cali to Idaho. Fortunately we already have property in Southern Idaho, my wife and I bought 5 acres a few years back. I'm watching very closely, this way I know what we're up against. Thank you for the videos....please keep them coming.
Looking good!! It’s fun watching the progress. Seems like Mr JNKY has a hard time when mamma goose does all the narrating😆. Looking forward to more video, just don’t forget the other channel😊
LOL! We haven't forgotten about the other channel. We are eager to get out and explore our area, but things are happening quickly on the property and we can't leave just for a camping trip just yet...soon though!
Springhouse ?? You have a springhouse ??? I am so jealous. Have you had the water tested , Is it potable ?? If it is you can do a lot of stuff with that......................
I dont know if you are set up but if the power grid goes down for any reason its a great idea to have a generator powerful enough to power your well pump, most of which are 220volts , have a specific amps to get it started running, and then a lesser amperage to continue running. I have a couple food grade 55 gallon water barrels I keep emergency potable water in. I bought mine at D and B hardware, they cost about 50 dollars each., and a little cheap hand pump makes it easy to tap the barrel watter in a clean and sanitary method. Usually generators for 220 volts have 4 wires, and if you look closely you will see there are only 3 wires coming out of the well casing., That is a issue, but there is a correct answer. Make certain you know how to hook the wires up to the well pressure regulator.... Its important, and has to be done correctly every time. Its not a good thing to destroy the well pump, especially during a emergency... and with a couple 55 gallon drums of water you would only need to run your well maybe once every 3 days. . not all day, all the time .Bear in mind the military states 1 gallon of water is enough water for 1 person for 1 day., and that is bare minimum. not only for drinking but hygiene, washing etc. People really don't need a lot to get along in the advent of a emergency, clean potable water, any required medications like insulin, heart meds , etc.food,. The basics. Candles , hurricane type oil lamp, and the modern oil lamps are much brighter light than the very basic old style . kerosene lanterns . and books.. Lots and lots of books. . I figure a acoustic guitar is mandatory also........... ...
Congrat's on passing the electrical inspection!! You guys are doing awesome, especially considering how busy the contractors are in the area!! I do real estate in the area and was just scanning through TH-cam one day and happen to see the first video you guys put out. What a super cool story!! It's been so enjoyable following your journey into Idaho!! Let me know if I can help you both out with anything, I was in the lumber business for many years before real estate and have many contacts, ect in the area. I even bought a few 395 jnky shirts to start my overlanding life and also to help the cause!! Lol. Welcome to Idaho and wish you guys many happy memories here!! Tom Cassill Jr. Solberg Real Estate Agency Grangeville Idaho
That's awesome! Happy you found us 😊 Please send me or Daniel an email so we can keep your contact info close. We'll be needing lumber soon! Thank you for your support with the shirts. Let us know if we can help with overloading advice.
Danielle and mama goose good going! I have a question with the trailer there what are you gonna do with your gray and black water? Maybe I’m wrong but I didn’t see that your septic and put in yet?
Thank you! We are not using the toilet. We rented a porta-potty because we don't have the septic installed yet. We are collecting the gray water and dumping it responsibly.
New ssubscriber. You're doing what I wanted to do 50 yrs ago, but life kinda didn't allow. Check out Piure Living For Life on TH-cam. They also left the corporate lifestyle, moved to Idaho, began building their homestead and home. Like you, they lived in a travel trailer for probably a year. They did, however, put a fabric style garage around theirs. Best of luck

You need a good week once in a while to keep you going. FYI, over here on my part of the planet, NW OR, I fortunately have yet to have a high over 80. Nothing better than dove hunting for fun and exciting times. Well until quail season anyway
Ain't that the truth! It feels good 😊

Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍

What a great week. The place is taking shape and both of you are working so hard. The barn will be a blessing for winter.

I have seen this all before. Dig a hole, Bury a 500 gallon holding tank, Run a leach line. What my brother has been doing.
That is coming in the next vid

Smart to have already bought property. Hopefully you got it before prices skyrocketed. Best wishes on your build and thank you for supporting us.
Watching you folks and comparing it to the reality around here in Central CA......
We are very grateful!
Looking good!! It’s fun watching the progress. Seems like Mr JNKY has a hard time when mamma goose does all the narrating😆. Looking forward to more video, just don’t forget the other channel😊
Yeah he billed it as her channel but it's not really turning out the way huh? 😂
LOL! We haven't forgotten about the other channel. We are eager to get out and explore our area, but things are happening quickly on the property and we can't leave just for a camping trip just yet...soon though!
It's been low 100's to upper 90's here near Twin Falls for a while now. I feel sorry for the people that have to work outside.
That's all I kept saying with these guys working on the pole barn...I feel so bad for them, but they are in good spirits and stay hydrated.
So stoked for you guys!!! The race is on now that there's power!💪🏾
Oh yeah! 🙌 Thanks!

Curious why the winged hunting season requires a space to live in?
We were staying at a hunting lodge. They needed all the rooms available for their guests coming in for the hunting season.
@@YouMeandtheFencePost ah i see i thought it was something to do with safety in your land 🙏👍
Hot water heater ? 😛
Yes, the trailer has a hot water heater 😊

It's all coming 😊
Why not rent one?
