BRINGS his bed into the kennel and be firm with him. Its no different than with a child who refuses to sleep. I realize he has been the only child but he has to learn that he has to share. Put i an iron stove , even a little one, it will make it cozier...lol...and you can warm coffee or and stew! / soup! . lol
an easy way to keep the doggos from trying to eat each other is to put a muzzle on BOTH of them and then let them work out their domination issues without the ability to bite. i had a hybrid timberwolf that wouldnt let my other dogs eat or drink... 2 weeks in a muzzle and they could eat and drink from the same bowls at the same time. of course, you give them both time off the muzzle alone for feeding and human affection. ill keep watching to see if you try it. best 20-30$ youlll ever spend
I know you're busy... But seeing the open bags of dirt in the background wall in the dome can you review what your plans to finish those walls.. how you're going to deal with the broken bags and just general mixture of bags on the walls. Love that you're working on the dogs.. I am sure that you will succeed, this is a long term process.
Everyone is blaming Crew. He’s an old man and was the only dog for the longest time. When I look at his behavior around her, he is just curious. Every time they show a fight, it is Lluvia who starts it. She really went after Crew in this video. I agree with muzzles but she also needs to learn boundaries. Both breeds are dominant working dogs and it may never work out between them. Lluvia needs training!
When we brought home our puppy 8 years ago, the older dog was not having it. I had our son keep the dogs apart during the next day and called around to get a consult with a trainer when I got home from work. He had them sitting next to each other in 15 minutes from an all out dog fight at the beginning. Tension on our part, not being in charge of the situation on our part were the culprits. He had them sit next to each other with the focus on him only, not each other using first a firm "hey" to get attention then nice talking and treats. Within a week we had them sleeping together. Added a third dog three years later and I did the slow intro, managed the energy in the space and while there may be a spat from time to time related mostly to food, they are all buddies. It is do-able. You cannot just sit and watch. At least one adult has to be in charge. The training has to be incorporating both dogs.
Definitely muzzle time until you get her sorted. Luvia has been the one to go after Crew. Research ways to correct her. They can and will get along with the right correction.

When I lived in my little travel trailer for 2 yrs I threw out the rv mattress and brought my single sized temperpedic-like mattress in there. Still have it after 8 yrs. Glad you figured out a solution for the dogs. Hopefully some day they'll end up getting along.
Make sure you use the ceiling fan to push the heat down. They also make thermal powered fans. They work great on the buddy heaters to help move the heat.
I had to scrape my windshield to go to physical therapy this week. I'm still pretty salty about it. But it was my last appointment... I graduated! Now I just gotta get healed up enough to mount a horse for our anniversary trail ride in January! i hope the kiddos settle soon and you all get to be snug warm in the dome til it warms up again.
I apologize in advance but, I laughed so hard when you said the dogs are super excited…. Almost choked on my beer! Have melded several packs myself, the fur babies will be fine eventually PS I was watching your complete build video again while waiting for tonight’s new one, thanks for bringing sunshine every Sunday love you❤️
Up in Sunizona it's gotten down into the mid-twenties several times. I moved into the kitchen I built, in anticipation of the cold weather, since so many things are broken in the RV. Kind of crowded, but cozy in the cold weather, and everything works in here! You'll enjoy being in your new place, even if it isn't finished. It's a big step that you were working for, even if it's off schedule.
Use the filter when using the bigger tanks. They have a oil in the propane that plugs up the heater. The hose reacts with the propane and breaks down. I know by experience. With the filter my heater has gave me 3 years with the same filter. But 2 previous heaters without the filter was destroyed.
I'm in rain country and was told by a fence guy. He said that fence posts last longer if you put a couple handfuls of gravel in the bottom of he hole for drainage and no cement . Because cement doesn't seal in fact rain water gets trapped in between the cement and wood it rots out quicker than in dirt and gravel. And I have seen 100+ year old fences made in old growth cedar in dirt out here .
I love his unstoppable cheerfulness and her gentle stoicism! I would have never put the two together but they obviously strongly believe in each other! You are blessed... we would love to be so.
I have raised dogs since I was a child. First you should have kept them together for the night anyways and put up with a few problems so it gets resolved. They will never get along if not together. Most importantly put them both on a big long leash with knots in it to inconvenience their walking around and make it easy to catch them Next you really must get severe with them, do NOt beat the dogs but yank at their leash while yelling at them and put them back on their own bed. And tell them to stay. That is discipline they need to learn and need to learn to obey you and most importantly need to respect you and what you expect of them. Easier way to teach them boundaries from each other's is outside in wide open. You keep one dog close to you (not tied to anything except loose leashes with knots) and interfere every time they get into a fight. Eventually they will stop. Crew is a good respectful male to UV, he wasn't aggressive to UV, just curious. UV jumped him as most female would do, especially to a respectful male. Both could use some training. Whenever you walk them take the time to teach them (at first on a leash) to walk by you, stop, stay, come then let the dog go free to run around after a good session and praise the dog. Keep session very short and easy at first, you don't want the dog to fail training every time. You want the dog to love training and be proud and happy when done.
Make sure to use a "filter" when putting a large tank on the buddy heater they are notorious for having the gas nozzle assembly degrade with ANY moisture going through it.
I always admire your persistence as you continue with your dream home. I use a Big Buddy Heater in my cabin which you might have noticed during your visit but of course you folks came over a bit ago now. Ace Hardware brought in an adapter for me (thanks Ace Sierra Vista!) to make it possible for me to be able to connect my BBQ size tanks with an accessory hose I purchased as well. The Big Buddy is such a game changer and I am super snug and warm in no time even with the coldest of days.
You might have to put muscles on them for a little while until they get used to each other you're doing such a great job I can't wait to see it when it's done I love you guys God bless you and the love and the light of the one true creator amen
Muscles? Do you mean muzzles? I've tried many muzzles, but when two dogs that heavy are really fighting, none were good enough, also not my favorite Baskerville. They usually rip them off in a matter of seconds, and they can also injure themselves or the other when wearing metal muzzles.
I appreciate that you are showing how much time it really takes when you are doing most of the work by yourself. You made me feel much better about what I do get accomplished .
Yeah that big buddy heater works awesome. Yes you can hook it up to a bigger tank. Tractor Supply has the full kit to set it up. Good to see ya's moving in the doom. Figured you would finish the walls first. Nope the dogs are not liking it one bit. Stay safe and have a great week!
Hello Jim and Jessica, I was cleaning and realized it has been a long time since I have visited you. My goodness you have come a long way. Love seeing how you have progressed. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
It would be so cool to have Victoria Stilwell visit you guys to help with the pupper tension - what a cool episode that would be for both of your channels!! Just a dream of mine probably though 🥰
Oh that kiss was very loving Jim. Looks great who cares about the surrounding as long as it is cosy. one step at a time you are getting there. Wow great looking pineapple plants I have a lot of plants in the house. Thanks for the video.
Hey guys! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Have you ever thinked about a hot air collector made out of old windows? This would definetly raise the temp in the dome even during winter time for free. Best wishes from northern germany!
Every year I use canned air on my heater before trying to ignite. Works wonders. I agree with those who suggested masking up before dumping dry concrete. Keep it up your doing a good job.
@@shapst3838 Just thinking out loud. I think that’s part of the process they’ve volunteered to show us? I also live in the desert and always try to make good use of the shade.
Wow that was scary!!! I can’t believe they are still so aggressive toward each other after all the care you guys have taken to introduce them in the best way. You two definitely have a lot of patience!! Btw that soalr rack is looking very nice!!!
Hey Guys, My husband and I really enjoy watching your show.... We never tried the buddy heater but what we do use and maybe you can check it out is a Vent Free propane heater which can be ran by a larger propane tank... we've plumbed our cabin with black pipe to several places where can hook up several heaters.... if you do check it out and choose one, a suggestion for sure is to get one with a thermostat and with ceramic tiles.... one, with a high enough btu for your space should warm your place nicely.... ours is not one of the most expensive brands... and we are off grid as well Wishing you guys all he best..
When you brought in the mattress and laid down, we can completely relate to, we are homesteading in Elko county NV, and just moved into our cabin about a week ago. Man, sleeping in the 17 foot camper for almost two years sucks. Good luck with the puppies. We have a similar issue with ours too. Cheers 🥂
I live in a 5th wheel and if outside temp is 40, it gets down to 45 without heat. I turned on furnace for the first time and when it hit 62 degrees, I was sweating and had to open a window. lol 64 is perfect if you are active and like it warm. The dogs will work it out.
Yes, I agree with using muzzles until they get along. They don't hurt them, just keep them from hurting anyone else. It would be terrible if they were fighting and one of you guys got injured! With muzzles they can fight it out and maybe get over it? Good luck to y'all! 🙏🏼💖
I’ve never been fond of choker collars or anything like that for dogs. The alternative is what is called a gentle lead. It goes around the snout similar to a collar. The “correction” if you will when you pull on the leash the dogs face will be turned another direction. My dog is very aggressive towards other dogs but in almost one visit we went from having to be 20ft from another dog to within 5 ft just making corrections when he growled or snarled. It’s a very gentle way to work on that but you will need to start socializing them and correcting the behavior or it will never change
Try watching Beckman's dog training TH-cam videos. You'all know Cesar Milan and he is awesome, but Beckman's videos are nice because he kind of specializes in dog socialization videos of dog meet and greets and dogs with aggression issues or that simply lack socialization experiences. Cesar Milan is so good it is sometimes hard to figure out exactly what he is doing and Beckman is more human and there is lots of good dog interactions in his videos. It's still all about your energy and redirecting dog issues calmly.
There are cheap adapters to use the larger propane tanks. Another thing that some people do is buy a nozzle to refill the little bottles from the big bottles, but that's off-label usage, so perhaps you don't want to do it unless you need the portability.
My dog (lab boxer mix) had speration anxiety. she was a rescue dog so she came with some issues we had to address. We bought her some herbal anxiety chews and they helped us get her used to being in a new environment. You might check in to something like that for Crew. The other thing we did when we brought in a new pet was to take some of the other dogs toys and put them with her so she could get used to there scent. I hope they get used to eachother.
Have you thought about two kennel's side by side one for each of them the kennels can have a space so there not touching untill they get used to each other.
Beautiful house. Earth bag. An interesting concept I hadn't heard of. I like your accent too. Sounds like a mix of American south and western Canadian.
I'm certain there's more work to be done before you finish the walls and floor inside. Are y'all planning on doing any particular designs for it when you do?
The big buddy heater requires a external regulator (outside the house on the tank) to be safely used inside. And they can consume the oxygen.. read the directions... the heater will run about 6-7 days on low with a 30 pounder tank..
maybe focus on getting those panels up and connected efficiently to the 60/150 MPPT. 150 VOC volts serial connect. if your panels are 365 watts that is 3 panels in series grouped by 5 in parallel or similar.
I was forced to heat my home with Buddy heaters for 4 years, and I live in northern Minnesota!! Good idea to hook it up to a 20 pound propane tank BUT!!!!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!! BUY AND INSTALL AN INLINE FILTERS!!! They also sell a hose specially made for the Big Buddy that looks like a big Y. They work ok. Be careful and be warm. Love you guys! Thanks for making your videos I really appreciate what you're doing!!💕💕
Hope you have a propane alarm in there on the floor, if you switch over to a big tank make sure you have a regulator on there to knock the pressure down to 1 pound from 200 pounds, otherwise the rubber hose may fail
A word of warning, I believe you also need a filter to attach the big lp tanks too. I recall talk about that but you should check. It will break the heater if not installed properly, I clearly recall that.
Do you ever watch other couples trying to make it off grid and build their homes? If not I could recommend about four couples around the country doing quite well.
Are you using augers to hold everything down when the wind gets underneath something it will pick but that's not the problem it's when it comes back down when the auger screwed 2or3ft down into the ground the structure will come apart before pulled out
I've live In Upper tn for 30 years and dont remember it ever been this cool this time of the year ever. Me and papa moved here on 3 acres 14 months ago and wish we had got all the work done in The tralor before we moved in because working around crap is a pain. So now I'm have to take crap out so i can get this work done.🤣what a pain.
Make sure you buy the filter for the propane line or you will ruin your Buddy Heater. They are not that expensive about 12 or 13 bucks at camping world.
I know just how you feel,, we lived in a 10x20 travel trailer with 2 kids for 2yrs 8mo's 12day's and 4hours and 35 min. We moved in on 1/2 of the house had plywood floors, tarpaper roof and a old recycled screen door. Nothing like a real bed YA😊
From what we seen it was UVULA that started that fight and not Cara. I think you’ve done the correct thing by bringing in the kennels for both of them with the single dividing wall so they can get used to each other .
Ooo ooo ooo just watched a video on buddy heaters . He ruined his by using a non buddy hose adapter . I guess that regular hose material has contaminates particles that get blown into the heater
You might feel sick while working with concrete due to the activated, corrosive, water reactive nature of the cement dust. Don't get too close to the concrete when mixing it, use waterproof gloves, and a good air filter mask might help, but often the particles are so fine they go right through a mask. Otherwise, it might take a few days to recover your respiratory health.
Buddy heaters are great BUT if you use the 20 gallon tanks ALWAYS use the buddy filter at the heater. You will find the right hose soon. You can find many YT videos about using the filters. It will clog up with out them. I use the buddy heaters lots but the filters are a must. 😊
P73 Oil of Oregano will fix allergies and boost immune against everything else. $30 bottle will last for a really long time.20-30 drops 2 x a day for 4-7 days depending on issue
I have been rewatching some of your old videos. I was wondering if when your batteries are full of you know they will get full, do you use the extra power to heat the dome with an electric heater? Love what you are doing. The world needs to learn how to build good houses. I like the build show network, they are sharing how to build better homes that are healthy and more energy efficient.
Keeping them caged by each other will eventually calm them UV is no joke But more interaction between them will either join them or divide them but they have to get use to each other!!!
Be sure you use a propane hose filter? I’ve heard the wrong hose can cause the Buddy Heater to fail! Oil film in hose can clog Buddy heaters without Filter! If it has already clogged, I’ve heard you can use air hose to blow oil film out
Catch the tear down video here:

BRINGS his bed into the kennel and be firm with him. Its no different than with a child who refuses to sleep. I realize he has been the only child but he has to learn that he has to share. Put i an iron stove , even a little one, it will make it cozier...lol...and you can warm coffee or and stew! / soup! . lol

Isn't nice to have solar heater during the day as sun is out......

But seeing the open bags of dirt in the background wall in the dome can you review what your plans to finish those walls.. how you're going to deal with the broken bags and just general mixture of bags on the walls. Love that you're working on the dogs.. I am sure that you will succeed, this is a long term process.

Definitely muzzle time until you get her sorted.
Luvia has been the one to go after Crew.
Research ways to correct her.
They can and will get along with the right correction.

Yes on the ceiling fans
Ceiling fan should push air upward in winter. That will cause the warm air to circulate without feeling a draft from the fan.

The other thing we did when we brought in a new pet was to take some of the other dogs toys and put them with her so she could get used to there scent. I hope they get used to eachother.
Have you thought about two kennel's side by side one for each of them the kennels can have a space so there not touching untill they get used to each other.
Beautiful house. Earth bag. An interesting concept I hadn't heard of. I like your accent too. Sounds like a mix of American south and western Canadian.
I'm certain there's more work to be done before you finish the walls and floor inside. Are y'all planning on doing any particular designs for it when you do?
Much respect...oh and beautiful lady your are blessed ...
The big buddy heater requires a external regulator (outside the house on the tank) to be safely used inside. And they can consume the oxygen.. read the directions... the heater will run about 6-7 days on low with a 30 pounder tank..
Suggestion.!! Just pour the cement in the hole with a little rock (small) then pour the water in mixing. Has always worked for me and anyone I know.
Great job y'all,,,, Jess your beautiful with all that you do
maybe focus on getting those panels up and connected efficiently to the 60/150 MPPT. 150 VOC volts serial connect. if your panels are 365 watts that is 3 panels in series grouped by 5 in parallel or similar.
I was forced to heat my home with Buddy heaters for 4 years, and I live in northern Minnesota!! Good idea to hook it up to a 20 pound propane tank BUT!!!!!
LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!!
BUY AND INSTALL AN INLINE FILTERS!!! They also sell a hose specially made for the Big Buddy that looks like a big Y. They work ok. Be careful and be warm. Love you guys! Thanks for making your videos I really appreciate what you're doing!!💕💕
May you always be warm!
That's still pretty chilly, but definitely better than an RV.
Winter here in nornthern cal lots of rain and low temps.
Haha "Allow me." Music from TAKEN plays in background as door creaks.
Hope you have a propane alarm in there on the floor, if you switch over to a big tank make sure you have a regulator on there to knock the pressure down to 1 pound from 200 pounds, otherwise the rubber hose may fail
Tractor Supply Co. sells the extension hose to attach the Big Buddy to the large propane tank. I think they are around $30.00
A word of warning, I believe you also need a filter to attach the big lp tanks too. I recall talk about that but you should check. It will break the heater if not installed properly, I clearly recall that.
I hope the dogs learn to get along
Do you ever watch other couples trying to make it off grid and build their homes? If not I could recommend about four couples around the country doing quite well.
Are you using augers to hold everything down when the wind gets underneath something it will pick but that's not the problem it's when it comes back down when the auger screwed 2or3ft down into the ground the structure will come apart before pulled out
Looks like you entrance gate off the road
needs to be wider like at least 20ft
For big truck delievers
Good to see you two. Iiss you
We have used our Mr. Heat down to 12 as of right now. We will find out how it does in negative° this weekend.
I am sorry you are so cold. Hope you are well.
I have 2 little buddy heater and love them.
We use one in the house once in a while, mostly we use them in the shops
I've live In Upper tn for 30 years and dont remember it ever been this cool this time of the year ever.
Me and papa moved here on 3 acres 14 months ago and wish we had got all the work done in The tralor before we moved in because working around crap is a pain. So now I'm have to take crap out so i can get this work done.🤣what a pain.
I believe you should introduced the sooner
Move crews bed into dome
Make sure you buy the filter for the propane line or you will ruin your Buddy Heater. They are not that expensive about 12 or 13 bucks at camping world.
If you attach your solar panels this way what's to keep the whole thing from blowing away in the wind?❤❤❤❤
I know just how you feel,, we lived in a 10x20 travel trailer with 2 kids for 2yrs 8mo's 12day's and 4hours and 35 min. We moved in on 1/2 of the house had plywood floors, tarpaper roof and a old recycled screen door. Nothing like a real bed YA😊
So nice to have a large bed! 👍
Hi Guys! Good for you! Keep it up! and may be you can have a christmas finish home!
From what we seen it was UVULA that started that fight and not Cara. I think you’ve done the correct thing by bringing in the kennels for both of them with the single dividing wall so they can get used to each other .
“Uvula.” 😂
Ooo ooo ooo just watched a video on buddy heaters .
He ruined his by using a non buddy hose adapter . I guess that regular hose material has contaminates particles that get blown into the heater
I haven't even seen 30's yet this year. Surprised you got so cold.
Thank you for the wholesome videos. You make amazing content that is is inspiring and full of love.
You might feel sick while working with concrete due to the activated, corrosive, water reactive nature of the cement dust. Don't get too close to the concrete when mixing it, use waterproof gloves, and a good air filter mask might help, but often the particles are so fine they go right through a mask. Otherwise, it might take a few days to recover your respiratory health.
Beautiful dog house you all built lol
Thank you!
Buddy heaters are great BUT if you use the 20 gallon tanks ALWAYS use the buddy filter at the heater. You will find the right hose soon. You can find many YT videos about using the filters. It will clog up with out them.
I use the buddy heaters lots but the filters are a must. 😊
Sounds really good to be extra sure about the posts
P73 Oil of Oregano will fix allergies and boost immune against everything else.
$30 bottle will last for a really long time.20-30 drops 2 x a day for 4-7 days depending on issue
This is soooo delightful ❤🥰
I have been rewatching some of your old videos. I was wondering if when your batteries are full of you know they will get full, do you use the extra power to heat the dome with an electric heater?
Love what you are doing. The world needs to learn how to build good houses. I like the build show network, they are sharing how to build better homes that are healthy and more energy efficient.
Good Morning....Camping in the Desert Igloo because your going to get cold.....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keeping them caged by each other will eventually calm them UV is no joke But more interaction between them will either join them or divide them but they have to get use to each other!!!
Be sure you use a propane hose filter? I’ve heard the wrong hose can cause the Buddy Heater to fail! Oil film in hose can clog Buddy heaters without Filter! If it has already clogged, I’ve heard you can use air hose to blow oil film out
You can get a attachment eBay to refill those small tanks from a large one a lot cheaper
