Nothing you guys ever post is boring. I look forward to whatever the project is and how it's done. Thanks.
Totally agreed❤
You guys really do make a good team one of these days we gotta do a bloopers reel
Yeah I bet that would be interesting 😂😂😂❤
Greg ! So impressed ! Canadian Olympics here you come !
I remember when I was working that I’d get pretty tired by days end but now that I’m pretty old I don’t ever get tired of watching others work 😊
Power Shed really turned out great and I really like the post at each corner. Y’all never have a boring video or content - you two could stand outside in the rain or wind and it’d still be an interesting video! Greg’s gymnastics is always a plus!
Katie, you hit another home run with your video intro. I imagine you two are glad the power shed is completed so you can move on to your next project. Blessings to you.
You two work together in such harmony, anticipating each other’s moves you are a joy to watch. Thank you.
Greg putting in posts to strengthen the roof is a excellent idea .
The ATV has finally found it's home. The roof line turned out really well to follow the unusual shaped buildings around it. The goats will foilage the forest as they eat their way aound the mountain, followed by the chickens cleaning up after any leftover morsels. The beasts are taking over your homestead.
Happy to hear young(er) people listening to Talking Heads
Putting the final touches on the exterior of your 8x10 off-grid solar system power shed showcases your commitment to both functionality and aesthetics. The meticulous care you put into this project highlights your dedication to creating a practical yet beautifully crafted space. Your attention to detail and passion for off-grid living are truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life.
Hello Kids. I live in Long Beach Mississippi and absolutely love your channel. Your content and editing is superb. I like the way you start, stay with, and finish each project. No herky-jerky crap. You two are on task. I admire your work ethic and team work. You keep this old retired guy entertained. THANK YOU.
Another nice Saturday morning with Katie, Greg and the critters! I enjoy your problem solving and matter-of-fact way of life. ❤
You have the best music! Your background music is neither overpowering nor is it obnoxious. It makes watching your channel more enjoyable for me. Thank you.
Homestead looks amazing after all the work you kids have put into it!! Excellent
Really glad to see you adding some support for that cantilevered porch thingy. I think the finish colors look great! Power Shed complete!!!!!!
It’s so good to have it complete!
Looks awesome. If you paint the underside use sky blue, it is said it discourages wasp and other flying things from building as they think it is the sky. So I have been told. It works at the ranch in Texas so far. As for a decoration make a large lighting bolt out of wood paint it yellow and put it on the front or the door with the words Danger High Voltage in red on it. God bless you two in all things. Love from Texas.
Personally i like the color contrast of posts 🎉 yall always do great job! Im getting excited to see the addition start making it the perfact placefor you both in your own time with your own hands and off grid toboot... ❤ and always love seeing the fur babies ❤❤❤
Next year from now you need to do a show on how well the system works through all four seasons.
great day when I turn on youtube and you guys have another video up.
I'm impressed Greg. Getting on the roof.
Great looking “power building”…it is better constructed and finished than just being called a “shed”, 😎👍
Looking just grrrreat out there !!! HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND...😊❤😊
Excellent, an enjoyable build. Your site is one of the first I watch when I see it posted, thanks for sharing your off-grid life with us.
The power shed looks great! You might want to put a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher for lithium batteries in there just to be safe.
Glad to hear that you are going to put a couple of posts in to support that big overhang.
Hats make me hot, too! but a straw hat is cooler than the cloth ones......nice shed build❗️ Congratulations‼️
Hi Katie an Greg good job looking good 👋
Listen, the brown "mocha" paint thingy is perfect. What you could do is chop it up a bit by putting something like a wooden bench in front of the Electric shed and paint that with a complementary color such as a green. Brown and green go together as in nature. Plant pots could be put on the bench and paint those with colors that match the brown and bench color. Loads here you could do..
Hey guys i watch your channel all the time , just a tip on rolling on paint or stain on that grooved siding a 1 1/4 or a 1 1/2 nap roller is a must I just recently remodeled the outside of my house and had the same problem as she had , I used a 1 1/2 nap roller and all my problems went away . Just a helpful tip for future problems ... I'm also glad you got all that solar equipment out of the main house, keep up the good work.
Really great job you 2 young couple. Well done finishing off the build.
One thing if I may. Make sure that door locks. Expensive contents inside
Good work
Home depot or Amazon you can get a post holder that holds the post to your foundation so when its really stormy the roof doesn't lift up 😊😊
Great job Greg and Katie 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Looks a lot stronger with the added poles, what what do I know 🤣🤭
Hello Greg and I really like your Backhoe attachment for your Tractor it's really neet and handy tool for your Tractor and I'll bet it saves you lot's of money having the backhoe attachment !
So glad you put a stronger foundation in @ the solar shed. Your roof will be as strong as the foundation. Walnut is my favorite stain Katie & yet the mocha looks nice Katie🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
The power house is great ya’ll done a great job together
Looks great!! Now I can’t wait to see your house addition!! 😊❤
Congrats for your new house 🏠 power house
Accomplish by hard work and team work that made it all happens. Good job and keep it up.stay strong and Godbless.
Teamwork makes the Dreamwork- good video
It cam a very nice Power station 👍 Kati thank you for the nice Music
Maybe putting some pavers down or something in front of the mechanical room there would be nice for the walkway outside in front
Wow! You have worked damn hard guys to get that finished. It looks great, think the posts are a good idea too ❤xx
Looks great you guys did awesome. 🎉I love the color it works good with the dust and dirt. ❤ God Bless 🙏🏻
Happy goats! Mocha looks good, great job!
Prepare for winter is done , great work .
I'd have no problem with that building on my property. Too bad it's kinda hidden! Great job you two!
Shed looks great. Staining it is the finishing touch. Maybe add outside lights.
Girl get a broom handle for your roller it will take 80 percent of the movement out of the paint process. Watching you made my back hurt. You guys are hard working mo fo's. Mad respect for the channel !
I look forward to your videos every day! Well, done Kattie 😀
Just love watching you two! Good music today!
It is very nice to see someone do 40 fives on trim and framing nowadays Most people nowadays don't do 45 because they're too lazy they do it the easy way and it looks not half as nice😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
How about a huge red Maple leaf? Or your own logo as an art work.
nice to see you staining vs painting exterior wood, I tell all my customers to do that. If you put a pole on your roller it makes rolling the stain/paint soooo much easier. I use a telescoping paint pole for good flexibility.
Well done you two,it is looking very good.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love the fancy foot work at the mill
You guys don’t realize how much I love you guys. I been following since the beginning of your journey. Can’t wait to see to see the next video!❤❤
David, we are working on something enormous in the background right now! i cant wait to be able to share it with you
Shed looks great..love the scenery. ❤
@ 10:47 I think the large over hang on the roof was a good idea especially putting the largest part over the front door side
winter is coming good time to finish siding the house.
6:59 Wood Finishing -Second coat of stain should help. Some woods need to be sanded before staining in order to take a transparent stain evenly. You could still go to a solid stain instead of transparent. Use 25mm roller sleeve to get : 1) inside grooves 2) a coat on quicker, then lay it off with a large brush to even it out before it dries. Maybe only tackle four boards at a time then brush it out. Oh. . . And using a wood handle/broom pole attached to the roller handle makes for easier, faster work👍
I love the way it came out! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻
You mentioned art work for your power shed… I have old license plates from our vehicles on my storage building. But, you could use all the leftover metal items (used saw blades, nuts & bolts, plumbing parts, old tools, etc.) from all your building projects. Make a frame on a scrap piece of plywood, then glue or tack random parts in random places til the space is filled. Paint it white or whatever color you like.
When it comes to painting or staining that's why I just use these spray gun or airless and once you learn about different tips and stuff you can really do a lot of spraying without a lot of overspray and wasted paint and handheld shield piece of plywood or some works great.
Amazing job that both of you have done
The power shed really turned out nice and you guys should be very proud of it. For wall art, how about some different sized lightning bolts arranded on the side. You can Google clip art for it and cut them out of wood, paint to whatever contrast color you choose. Just my 2¢ It was fun seeing all the animals around your property. I look forward to your next projects. Have a great week and I'll see you on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Guys you should have painted the white down pipe the same colour as the building, it sticks out like a sore thumb because it is so large and half way up the shed...maybe ye might re-consider. I think it looks great for a shed plus doing 45's on the trim is showing your joinery skills Graig.......ye have come along way from the bus!
Great work guys the solar shed looks really good x
Hello Greg and Katie ❤
That's some serious moon dust... Glad you did the supports and the atv still fits.
Colors look good. Looking forward to solar panels.
How about a barn quilt? It’s just paint and plywood. The possibilities are endless. I would go with a sun motif, either in a traditional quilting design or maybe a First Nations sun design in a nod to your BC roots.
Fun video to watch, everyone makes small mistakes at times, and i love that you never remove these(Greg cutting the post too short).
For the underside of the roof I would've cut some thin boards to cover the roof framing, because I don't think it looks finished without... maybe just me ??
Love it. If we weren't older now ,We would do this in a heart beat. Good job you two.
Great job on your solar shed build…Looking forward to seeing the evolution of your home with the upcoming addition and the reconfiguration of the former electrical room…IAG, eh!!! 🇨🇦
I like the way the roof turned out.👍
Your channel and Life Uncontained are my favorite dyi TH-camrs
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.Ich schaue Eure Sendung regelmäßig.Ich warte schon immer auf die neuen Folgen.
Quel bel environnement de vie que vous, vous donner si sincèrement en vous investissant de cœur, dans votre sublime projet !
Second coat plus extra touching up on the ‘power house’ has sorted the finish. Another very interesting and enjoyable blog. 👍😀Thank you. Phil, Suffolk, U.K. 🇬🇧
It looks good. You looked like a southern bell in that hat. It really suited you. God bless yall.
Great job with the power shack!
Nice job on the power shed adding the posts was a good call, you can colour it done.🎉
16:15 Good way to get onto roof. I was holding my breath. Good job.
You women in the of grid work so had you 2 make a good team love y'all
As you were first putting the 2nd coat on it almost looked green! Eddie
get a sunflower, it is the sign of a clean power and nature. put it high, so that your goat don't chew it.
❤ So happy for you now the solar battery power shed done and onto the spare room project. You guys exhaust me with the energy you have with all the difficulty of logistics getting gear for off grid brings. Garden looks amazing and all livestock happy. Love little steve ❤
God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
How about a Circle Garden with flowers and goats hanging out around it and munching on the leaves and flowers for desert.
The power shed looks brilliant and how you make building a shed so informative is beyond me I’m transfixed to each episode and not a boring second was seen even that extra cement block is to let you know if your getting close to the post without hitting or damaging the post as the trees will hit the block first 😂😂😂
Another great build Greg,& Katie. The power shed is functional for all your needs. Looks great,& will last a long time. Your homestead is coming together so nicely. Even your animals are settling in, like they’ve lived there forever. Keep up the great work.💯👍🏾😀💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Great work and a perfect save for the front end of the roof.
Thanks ☺️
Yep, the second coat of stain definitely helped..😂 Glad to see projects are lining up and being completed, ya'll do such a great job! Love ya'll ❤️
Might want to think about painting the PVC pipe. Sun will break down PVC pipe and make it brittle.
Well done guys, great fun doing this build. Once again the super team did it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Haven’t watched a video of your’s that’s been boring. Great job and great video! Keep up the good work be safe and carry on.
That solid brown colour you have on the Power Shed looks pretty good. And Katie, that new sun hat you have is just magnificent. Looks really good on you.
That is a great job and it looks really nice 😊
I always watch and like your videos,they don’t need music.
for the door on the shed, paint the top and the bottom of the door. So many people miss that and it prematurely rots exterior doors. Some new doors say if the top and bottom aren't painted that it voids the warranty.
Looks great. You two do good work.
Nice job. Very impressed. Take Care.
