- Our siding has arrived and its time to cover up this house wrap. The anticipation for the color was intense because we've never seen it in person. We LOVE IT!

Hi! We're Nick and Jen, a retired military veteran of 14 years and professional dancer/entertainer at Coyote Ugly Bar. Together, we decided to sell everything and break free of the glitz, glam and chaos of city life to move off gird. We live on our 20 acres of remote land in the mountains of Southern Utah.
We’re trying to be as self sufficient as possible by installing all our own utilities and doing everything DIY with as much modern technology as can make happen. Living off grid is about the freedom to build our own path one plank at a time. Life, indeed, is Elevated Off Grid. Come along and see what life is like as we continue to build our property and adventure around Southern Utah's mountains.

You guys are very fortunate to have Larry.
Lay some landscaper fabric around the perimeter of the house and spread that gravel on it, protect your new siding from the rain splashing that brown dirt up on it.
The siding looks great! Happy Independence Day to you all!
Looking good so far. Just make sure on your J-trim across the top of the doors to put the 45 on the outside of the side pieces. This will make it blend in with the 45 of the door trim.
A very beautiful color. On the right track. ✌💗💗🤗
The siding is looking great.
Excellent Video and enjoyed watching you side.......very talented team.
Now that's a beautiful green color! Nice!
The siding looks great. Love the color. How exciting.
You guys are doing a great job building your house mostly by yourself 🎉🎉🎉
Your gravel really knows how to lay it down very little extra spreading needed.
You guys got it looking good. That siding is awesome. All the rock Larry hauled in looks great. 👍❤️
Good color choice on the siding.
You are going to regret nailing siding tight with nail gun! Siding is meant to float on nail on wall for expansion and contraction to prevent buckling. Also you need to add more nails for wind.
Hi Chris! All the nails are sitting about 1/4” above the siding. So it can slide side to side. Vinyl siding is supposed to float on the osb. Also it’s recommended to nail every 16” or so. So we’re following all of that. I think we should be good. 👍🏼
It looked correctly nailed.
I think they make a nail gun that's just for vinyl siding and it doesn't drive the nail all the way in. I'm not sure what Nick is using.
@@roberthughes2665 Hi Robert. The gun I’m using is a roofing nailer with a vinyl siding tip. That is correct gun for vinyl siding.
You can get away with using a non-siding nailer if you nail next to a screwdriver for instance that forces the floating gap for normal siding. The siding used is to your tastes and style choices of course. I have always used a siding that is cement-based because of the resistance to fire and wind. They even make siding that looks like cut logs but is very strong. There are even bark impressions.
you guys did a lot of trim work is the most time-consuming. Great job
Transforming!!! Looks great.
Great Color.....keep it going!!!
Great choice on colors. It's gonna look awsome 😎
Awesome job on the siding , looks like it was done by a professional !
So nice to be working with the gravel and not mud! Siding looks great. What a difference. Looks like a house. Happy 4th of July. Thanks for your service Nick!
Wouwww!!! Nice guys 👍💪💪 Regarding rainwater collection on your land, why don't you put a gutter at the end of the sloped roof and connect it to the tanks? It doesn't matter how short the rain is or how scarce they are, but if you collect one, ten and twenty liters, every liter is worth it. btw I love the music ❤❤
While I am jealous of Nick's new toy(s), I am NOT jealous of all the work he has to do using those new toys! ;)
My tips with vinyl siding is 1. Start at the front of the building so u don’t see ur cut ends. 2. Don’t nail the siding pcs in tight..u have to allow them room to contract and expand with the heat/cold conditions. Also chalk the seams where u cut to make ur boxes fit around ur outlets etc as to keep water from getting behind.
Caulk the seams, not chalk
@@cathiwim You should ("NEVER") chaulk the seams, that would/could lock them in and not allow them to expand and contract. Again like @loriemonroe76 said, Vinyl Siding is "hung" (NOT) installed.Nick should adjust his nailer to stop 1/8" - 3/8"from tight.
@@sirarrowhead1 I’m sorry I didn’t explain that well. I was only talking the boxes like the one he cut to fit around the propane pipe etc. to seal it back as one pc. It would still be free floating.
Nick and Jen, u two are doing a great job. Nick, I love watching how ur brain processes, especially those ah-ha moments. Love the color..the white trim is really going to make it pop.
Oops, darn spell check. It changed it to front and not back.
I love the color of the siding. Good job guys. Happy Fourth.
Nice job on siding it is looking great
Looks sweet!
Happy 4th Nick and Jen!! The place is sure looking good with the addition of the gravel and now starting on the siding. I agree with you both on the color selection. It should make it blend in nicely with the green trees in the surounding area. You may notice it appears smaller going from the white wrap to the darker siding color. It's just a matter of a couple of days you you will soon adjust and be used to it. It really looks great you guys!! Have an awesome week. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Love the color of the siding!!! Happy 4th of July!!
Thank you for your service!🇺🇸
Looks good!
Nick, you are doing a killer job!! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻
Love the color! Beautiful!
You can put some clear silicone on places that you have doubt
Loving the colour. It's one of the couple I had hoped you would choose. Your both doing a fantastic job being your first time and with you tube as your instructor 😜.
Great update guys!!! Woohooo your making it!!!
Happy 4th of July! Nick thank you for your service to our country. You are much appreciated.🎆🇺🇲
You two work together so great, love the siding color!
It has grey tones!
We have vinyl siding and it has be nailed by hand loosely with room to expand on the ends. Usually with roofing larger heads. Our has lasted 24 years in hot Texas sun and 0 degree winters.
Looking good, love the color.
Beautiful color 🇬🇧😊
Great job you two!!😊
Happy 4th hope all is well, pro tip all siding nails must be loose so the panels and j posts etc. Can move because of expansion and contracting. No nail gun. I was the guy with the insulation shower pro tip lol great job all is looking 👌 Also did vinyl siding for 20 yrs
Wow I can see why you're so excited it's a great color with the white trim
Lovely to see Allie xx
Very nice job. Looking good!
I love the color and it is starting to look really nice
Beautiful! 👍
It looks so good!
Love the color
The color choice is rad ...great job
Looks really good brother great job!!!!!
Love the green / gray color siding, ha. Good job done by all. Thanks for all your videos, take care.
Looks really good guys
Caulk around your outside wall fixture outlets?
The only thing that I see that is wrong, is using the nailer. The nails should be just making contact so the siding can expand and contract with the weather. Other than that, it looks great Nick.
@timgoodwin7566 that's why people call it hanging siding it should hang on the nails and be able to slide back and forth left to right with about 3" overlap also place seams away from the eye depending on the wall
@benthehandyman9667 yes I know. I have been in the home building market for 15 years, but thanks for confirming that
Nice color
Love the colour….You two work so hard..stay safe and healthy…Happy July 4th…😊❤️🇨🇦
Great choice on siding color! Great videos and great results from all your hard work. Take a break and be careful.
Nail siding into studs.
looks great!
Wow that color is perfection! 🎉 Make time to celebrate. Sure is looking good.
Yup… gray-green, but heavier on the green.
The siding looks amazing.
Since your garage is below the house, if you have any EV type things, might not want to keep them in there. Looks beautiful! Thank you for your service and Happy Independence day!
Happy Fourth of July! Thank you for your service Nick!
Love the color of the siding, it looks great. What a blessing to have a friend like Larry.
It's going to look nice when it's done.
Happy 4th of July and thanks for a very positive video! It's looking epic with the siding coming along nicely, see you on the next one!

Happy 4th of July Nick and Jen and the siding looks great ❤️🇨🇦
Happy 4th you guys are awesome. Great job hope the nails aren’t set to tight. The place is starting to change now with the gravel and the sidings
That nailer is a game changer. We put vinyl siding on our home when we first built it and the nailing was horrible. I think we had to use roofing nails. Love the color! Happy 4th to y'all!
Wow!!!!
Nice color......😊😊😊😊😊
bravi ragazzi😘😘😘
Happy 4th of July
I was thinking, Green??? YUCK! But as it goes on, it's gonna look fantabulous!

Happy 4th of July to all of you🇺🇸💪👍🙏
Excellent choice of color, I love it, great job, Happy 4th of July!
Im curious about foam boards behind the siding im in Dallas and some of the cheaper vinyl siding actually will melt and twist from the sun baking on it all day but it looks great and yall gotta be happy to finally getting to exterior finishes congrats yall have come along way it's not easy I've been in construction my whole life im retired now and I really appreciate what all of you have accomplished
Finally.. Thank You..
make sure your nails are slightly loose for the siding or it will buckle
Good morning happy Thursday 4th July God bless ✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏🤟🤟🤟👍😎👍❤️
@lifeelevatedoffgrid If you want to cut your install time, bite the bullet and do "ALL" of your trim first. It take the longest and having to stop to put trim pieces on or do your metal work just slows you down. You will find that you get into a groove when hanging your long pieces. As long as you check for level every 3-5 rows you should be able to run your siding like you are shingling a roof and you will fly through it. Stick with your Senco nailer for (all) of the vinyl pieces or hand nail them. I noticed it isn't nailing them tight which is what you want. I'm a national Project Manager for a home improvement company enjoying watching you guys learn as you so. But buckling siding is nt fun to remove and replace, so it's best to do it right the first time.
👍👍🎇🎆✌️
Looks good.😀 Hi from Colorado Springs 😀 Happy 4 of July.
