We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and the buiness/work related side of our life can be found on our secondary channel "Josh and Erin- The After Show". Here you will see us renovating our Cafe, opening/operating the Cafe with goods from our farm, building/furnishing/running our short term rentals, finding/operating our other real estate investments and more.

Josh/Erin, today on our trip from PA to NC(home), the wife and I stopped at the Wild Roots Cafe for breakfast and the food was delicious, I had the breakfast burrito and I was blown away. The wife had egg/bacon Sammy and she loved it. Also we had some of the peanut butter sea salt cookies and they were delicious too. The girl that brought our food outside even gave a piece of bacon to our dog 😁. Great place and wish you all the success, take care.
@@jcn115❤❤❤ thank you so much for stopping by! We are so happy to hear your thoughts enjoyed your visit!
@@user-je1lz3lw2iLOL
How does a 19 minute video last only 5 minutes? It's easy josh n Erin made it.thats how good you guys are!!!!
I love watching you two work together. The love and respect between the two of you is obvious with every word and deed.
Erin, I have said it before, but your cinematography is so awesome. I love the story that your filming tells while having the interactions and narrative make it that much better. You two are awesome partners in that build. I am amazed at how you are able to move those 2 X 12's so well on such precarious platforms.
After all the years we've been watching you, you're still the inspiration we need to get the jobs done on our homestead. You were one of the reasons we decided to take the chance (even at our ages) to pull up stakes, move and build our own home on a nice piece of property. It's just the two of us old farts doing almost all the work (we had a little help from our Amish friends here), and we're weeks away from wrapping up all of the little details on the home build (we've got to, the final inspection will be due before August) and now we've got all the other fun stuff ahead of us. We've been building all of our own furniture and making everything we can ourselves. But for our 30 acres of forest, we'll have to start thinking about purchasing some heavier equipment. Anyway, thanks for giving us the gumption to get up and do it all. Seeing what you accomplished so far has been a life changer for us too.
Congratulations on all you have accomplished. Best wishes on finishing you home. ❤️ from Ireland 🇮🇪
That's amazing! We are so happy for you two ❤️
From getting inspiration you guys have become one. Congrats mate ❤
@@musahomukul7847 Thanks!
I’m 56 years old and I still get excited when I see the first lightning bugs!
I sincerely hope y’all are drinking enough water for this heat. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.
“Safe room“ , very hard hot work. I hope you enjoy the security and peace from what you have built for many years to come , you guys have built an incredible home.
I have heard the words spoken;" They were made for one another!" You two could be the ones who coined that phrase best of all. Not only by how well you appear to work so harmoniously together in the sea of love that surrounds you, but the beautiful, attractive young couple you present yourselves being together. You definitely were made for one another, defined by anyone's book!
Shama lama ding dong ....... I love the different angle and pitches of your roof line . It is difficult to figure the cuts so I give Josh all the credit in the world . Thank you for taking us along for the ride !
I can't even handle the math it takes for all those angles to work together - Josh and Erin you both are solid engineers for pulling that off!
As the west Virginia moon rises over the mountains, our hopes and dreams come together in a blend of home and family.
I’ve watched every episode, from the get go (maybe three or four I had to do after I found your channel). Such a beautiful transition from the old trailer. The three kids are no longer kids, but young adults. Sure, Ellie is still young, but I just remember her on Erin’s back while building. Such an awesome thing to watch over the years. Congratulations on all your endeavors.
A welding tip from a welder. One man to another. Don’t bounce around back and forth with your welder stick. Start the spark, then drag it while pushing in. Don’t pull back. When you pull back you contaminate your weld with slag. If you drilled the galvanized decking panel 1” with a mag drill type cutter. Then drill one of those self tapping screws through the galvanized decking into the I beem near the 1” hole you just drilled, to keep the decking tight to the I beam. Then weld the rebar straight to the I beam. This way you are not trying to burn through the galvanized panel. I think it would work. Welding galvanized (zinc) can make you really ill. Be careful welding that stuff. Keep your head away from the weld. Your house is looking awesome. I love the design. Great choices throughout.❤
Yup, don’t breathe those fumes from welding galvanized. Grind it off first Josh. Definitely make you sick. Blessings Buddy
Wow, Erin. Your cinematoography skills are really on another level. You must have multiple cameras everywhere.I bet the editing process must be challenging?
How about a behind the scenes video showing us how you go about getting all your shots and your editing stuff..
I would totally be into that!
That’s a nice idea, Erin did do one years back and technology has really progressed since then..
Many years ago I suggested that once the house was done (I thought that was a thing with this wonderful couple) Erin should have fun teaching us some video skills (skill share so we can pay for it). BUT house was not done (thank goodness for us) and they are always building something new so I think we may need to wait for Erin on skillshare for a while. I have reconciled myself with this…no regrets given the amazing content we get to enjoy!
Amazing how hard and how well you work together on these challenging parts of the build. So inspiring. 👏💪
In the northern Central Valley of California, the temp rose to 110. The saving grace is that the heat is dry. You can comfortably sit in the shade of a tree without sweating. Your house is coming along nicely.
I’m a visual person. I can see the roof line now! Only can say…WOW, it’s gorgeous!
Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!
your kids should be so proud what you are building for them.
Erin, I'm luvin the editing and camera setups, it's fabulous!
Your cinematography is getting really good Erin. You've some beautiful shots of the rain storm coming in.
The frog shot was brilliant.
@@markbrown6236
Agreed!🤙🐺🧙♂️👍
I threw my back out just watching Josh fasten down all that pan decking.
The most hard working and dedicated couple on youtube! Regards and all the best from Romania! 👏 🙏
It always amazes me, how much you get done, what you can do, and how well you work together. It's awesome. So cool to know about the sheep shedding! You continue to make me lean toward getting a couple of sheep some day.
Further progress made on the house roof and safe room roof. I don't blame you running for cover from your metal roof when there is lighting about.
Stay safe all of you, love from Mike. ❤
Hey, it’s not like they stayed on a metal roof during a storm!!!
Every time I watch you guys on your farm, I'm so impressed with the absolute beauty of your land! Gorgeous place. 😊💗🇨🇦
Another great update. Thank you for posting your progress. You both are such hard workers, and you’re teaching your kids the value of hard work as well.
The sound of donkeys off in the distance...
I don't know how y'all do what you do.
I know its not your style, but sometimes I wish that you had help with the house. Such a huge undertaking for 2 people.
The A-frame was one thing, but this addition is something else, on top of all of the new businesses you've started.
I just want to see you being able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, and life.
Be safe guys.
They wouldn't have it any other way. The feeling of life flowing your body & your being is unmatched. Yes, the sweat, the grime & the aches are real but somehow delicious. The joy is truly in the journey. I miss those days.
@@KristiJohnson-yo4hh
"I miss those days"
I'll be 62 in August. Your comment made me realize that I am looking at this from an older person's lense.
I miss those days as well. I guess as long as they continue to work as hard as they do, they will postpone the day where they are watching others work, and living life, and saying "I miss those days"
Thanks for opening my eyes
@@fallbrkgrl - You're welcome! After the 08 thing & 12 years of remodeling joy- all gone. I managed to keep my tools though. Seeing the chickens & other livestock is such a joy.. pushing 70 here soon. I still remember my entire flocks names & kept their pictures. Best years of my life covered with sweat, blood & dust and oblivious to how tired I was. My birthday in August too!
@@KristiJohnson-yo4hh sounds like you have lived a very interesting life.
You also seem to have the same mind set as these two people as far as enjoying hard work.
My b-day is August 1st (same as my mom, as she had me on her 19th birthday).
Happy upcoming birthday 🎂
🎁 Happy 🎁 Happy 🎁 Happy 🎁 Early🎂birthday 🎂to both of you. May God bless each of you in your comings & your goings & wrap you in his love. Jesus Christ loves you. 🙏🌼❤️🕊️😁
How do you fit a cafe, rentals, renovations, farmwork, candles, homeschooling, editing, and a house build into a schedule ?? Do you guys y'know..... sleep ??
Have been following your channel for a very long time and with everything you have done for your homestead would really like to see your home and how beautiful it is. Josh, you are such a man with hidden talents that you and your wife have done with for so long, I Would love to meet you and your family one day. Wonder why you don't get your sons to help you out sometimes more often to let them learn your skills also.
Love your channel for a young couple to have so much in such a short time love how you incorporate everything into your home.
God Bless You and your Family.
Just because them good boys are not on camera does not mean they are not on the job. There are many chores on a farm where there are no YT voyeurs. Just sayin
One of the sons was in this video using the leaf blower to blow any debris off of the metal floor pans.
I love watching you work on the new build. I could watch you work on it for hours. Finding it really interesting. I hope you can look at it and be proud of your accomplishments. Well done guys xx
Honestly the biggest safety related things I can say is 1. Get those plastic caps for the top of the rebar so no one accidentally gets impaled, that's pretty cheap insurance, and 2. You really should use safety glasses, also another cheap form of insurance. You can buy them at any hardware store for just a couple dollars. Can't do any of these projects if you can't see
Agreed! ( stooping down to get a rebar in one eye is the worst of the worst!) ☹️👁️
ABSOLUTELY...Rebar caps can save a terrible injury from a trip-and-fall !
I love the sound of that rain. Rain is soooo nice to stand in or sit and watch from the deck drinking a cold beer. My dad and I used to go get in the car and drive around in the storms.
Thanks once again for a great video, be safe get some rest.
Love seeing Chuck at the beginning of that Helix plug!
So much work involved in that. Plus all your other projects. You guys truly are inspiring. Absolutely love your channel. It's the only one I get notifications for ❤️
I bet Erin is getting excited about concrete coming soon. lol
I'll bet the rain and breeze felt good after working in the sweltering heat of the metal roof. Stay safe guys. 👍
I'm down here in sweaty steamy humidity hell...south florida, I can definitely relate to heat index highs!!! That rain coming in looked so cool and refreshing...I'm green with envy, when we get the summer rains it just feels like a sauna!!!
Off road vehicles are one of the best things for kids.
This is your legacy for your grandchildren. One day you won't have to tell them about this history but show it all. Isn't that awesome?🤗💯🤞🍀
You guys grind like no other! Inspiring. Josh is starting to look like a mountain man. 😂
Hey guys! I feel your pain when it comes to the heat. I'm in Eastern NC, close to Jacksonville. We had a fabulous rain this afternoon, so very needed. Walking on my yard barefoot is like walking on shredded wheat, crunch crunch crunch. But I digress. Although the rain was much needed, it became instant swamp air. You can see a fog hanging in the air.
So make sure you both stay hydrated up there!
Thanks for the update.❤
Erin, your video editing is top notch and really keeps you watching. Well done! And Josh, your work is a constant inspiration as always. What a fantastic couple you are!
MY FAVORITE WV OFF GRID TH-cam FAMILY!!!! 😁👍🏼
NOTHING BETTER TNAN MY SATURDAY MORNING FIX OF WWOG!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS 👍🏼😁👍🏼
I Love watching you guys!! Been watching for years now. You’re so amazing. It brings back memories of when I built my house with the help of very close friends and 9 other families building their own homes. Gives you such a sense of accomplishment!❤❤❤❤❤
They need to use respirators when necessary. Gasses from welding are dangerous to your lungs.
Me & Hubby have been with yall thru the beginning. We are so amazed and proud of you both. We really do enjoy watching your videos when we can. We would love to come and visit your restaurant one day. Maybe one day we can. We will be married 18 years this November 27th, and my Husband Dock will turn 66 on November 26th. Maybe by our 20 year Anniversary and his 68th Bday, we can get out that way to celebrate 🥳
The look in Josh's eye at 7:07 when you ask him if he wants to go outside and see what it looks like- it's fatigue but too, such an honest, pure look of love. A good soul. It's always in the eyes. Made me smile.🤍
We all need a ride or die woman like her, the hardest working couple on YT
Love how you show the build, then go off with Ellie to the animals , then go back to the build, Thats some heavy lifting with those beams, Good how Josh just even with the heat from the decking just goes on and get er done. Isnt it a Beautifull smell after the rain has fallen, of the wet grass and just the atmosphere!! Mm. Thanks for the video Love from UK @ 4.45 in de afternoon x x🤓
The smell of “after the rain” is called petrichor, which means “blood of the stone”.
one of the few shows i watch all the way through, great to see how the roof of the safe room is done
😎Josh, your number one! You do it all. With such a dedicated family, yours is a win every time.😎
That frog made me think of Chuckie!
😭❤️ we miss Chuckie so much!
@@WildWonderfulOffGrid He's right there with you every step of the way. Their delightful little bodies may pass, but the love & spirit stay with you always. That longing feeling is the connection and is so eternal.
You guys are the hardest working people that I don't know. GREAT JOB!!! Wish I had done this when I was young and able. I have built thousands of homes from small ones to 15000 sqft ocean front. Always wanted to do a mountain home like yours. Actually met my wife in a large A frame house in Big Bear, Ca. Now we are looking to move to the mountans for our next chapter while we can still walk uphill. Thanks for the inspiration!
Was expecting this video tomorrow morning.... YAY me ! lol
Erin is definitely the muscle behing the build. Sorry josh.😂
You guys have such great chemistry, you get it done no matter what
Nice work you guy's 👏
That's some Hot hard work going on there on the metal decking. Great video Erin putting together all the shots and camera angles and animal updates 👌
Josh, every video is coming together beautifully! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻
Someday, get someone else to to shoot video of Erin running back and forth between shots juggling her camera gear, being chased by kids and pets, creating great, storytelling images, lifting and building, but also making time to effortlessly prepare meals and casually walk through scenes holding hands with her daughter. Erin works so hard. Salute.
So glad you had a great time.
I don't know how but I fell in love with Erin after this video. She is just a great and strong woman..
Don’t fret about that JAS, (you’re not alone!)😁
Motorsports sponsor needed for new dirt bikes and quads for the family. I'd love to see Josh and Erin ride Honda Monkeys! Their a blast!
I envy you all getting regular rain. Here in the DFW area we get very little rain after May. We just went through a couple of weeks of 100+ degree days with no rain at all. 2 days ago we started a”Cold Spell” it dropped into the mid 80’s and got about 20 minutes of rain! Back tomorrow to the 90’s again. When I moved here in 1998 we would get some 100 degree days in late July into mid August. Now they start in May and go till September. Our air conditioners are our best friends!
My heart sank when I saw Erin's footwear on the construction site.
I saw Chuck! In your Helix ad…. Awwww Chuck. Miss that little 4-legged foreman. 💕
Those rafters looked so difficult. Amazing teamwork!
Looking GREAT guys!!!
All I can say is you two are amazing. Love you videos.
It would be very helpful if we could see a drone shop from the porch to the back. It hard to see how all this is going together from the ground view close up shots. Thank you for all of your wonderful photography!
It's coming along! Looking great!
Ya'll definitely get with it. Love watching the progress.
During the "commercial" part of the video, when you were talking about the mattress, I thought I saw Chuck so I had to rewind and watch again. I miss seeing him so I know y'all have your moments as well. Also, seeing Ellie riding the 4-wheeler? Wasn't it just yesterday that she was toddling around in a diaper? The house, farm, and businesses all look great! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
the safe room is being built strong enough to take an artillery hit lol - God bless you both for your vision and work ethic
Nice job with how it's looking Josh, it looks awesome..& your helper is one hell of a gal...
My favorite TH-cam family 😊
I could watch Josh bend those tie rods all day
LEON! Nice to see the big ram!
I get tired just watching you two work!
Glad you’re feeling better
Thanks for staying safe with the heavy stuff...avoid back trouble, hernias, hemroids, etc...:)
Wonderful Progress! Interesting information on Your Sheep! Always Love Watching Your Family ~~ Thank You for Sharing💚💛💙
The two of you, are amazing’! Your making so much progress, and make it look easy. So exciting. Hope you are closed in before the inclement weather.
Love you guys! Just a rib, glad no one will see those blocks! But they will work
Great camera work! Thanks for sharing❤️
It’s coming together and looking good. You guys are making good progress. 👍❤️
BIG JOB ! LOOKS GOOD!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure with us! I so look forward to each episode!
Another great video guys!
So much progress, so so much work!
Like the good photography; good closeups on what your doing
Erin, you look radiant in this video!
Love how you do yr best to stay positive and even when you can't to me you do your best to still turn it into a positive ❤🎉 thank you
@Josh, and Erin,
I'm not going to Harp about Safety Protocal....
But I think you two are Doing an Amazing Job, at Everything you both Have Done Through the years....
And that i have been watching you're family Grow, Since you First started out with the trailer, only, on the Property....
All I want you to know, is I Continue to this day....
And Keep you both in Prayer, that you get through everything safely, is my hope....Lots of Water on those hot days.
Peace & Safety, to you both, and youre whole family.....
Rich, from Michigan....🙏😎👍🇺🇲
As usual, great work
As always, beautiful photography !
Awesome work
Thanks for the Leon reference.
I have to agree with moplum. I work at a steel plant and along with zinc there is hexavalent chrome, nickel, lead, etc. in the galvanizing process. You really don't want to be inhaling the fumes from it while welding. Keep up the awesome job though. Your house is what dreams are made from and I look forward to seeing it complete.
Awesome job
Welding Galvanized will bring the Wizard of Oz to real life.
Love love love your videos look forward to sundays 👍🏼🤩
