Howdy Jess, Jim, and Peter. Your progress is amazing. That’s a lot of work and the heat is unbearable at times but you guys keep pushing it. Great job how is Crew doing? I see UV is helpful with her moral support. Hope all is well and blessings to you all.
FYI: Barb wire suggestion. When working below the barb wire roll, place it to roll off the bottom. When working above the barb wire roll, place it to roll off the top.
I'm glad to see you are feeding the hummingbirds but since you have red feeders you do not need to put any red food dyes in your white sugar food mix. It is actually not real good for them. I have 5 feeds set up for the past 3 years in Apache County, AZ that are mainly red with some yellows & over 2 dozen birds love them. Love your place & you 2 inspire me on our homestead.
Jessica Jim and Peter. The prime directive: don't get injured, don't get hurt, don't get sick, don't get discouraged. Who built these domes? The Domesteaders. Building back better and stronger. Bagging and cobbing higher and higher. Congratulations, keep on after it y'all. 🎉🎉🎉🎆🎆🎆⛺⛺❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
Way to go guys! I really enjoyed all of the insect clips and I.D. with them. I have some of the same species here on my property. Hope this is a helpful tip. Re: your hummingbird feeders use only nectar/sugar water that has no red dye at all. The biological reason is that hummers have such a small body there is some concern that the dye makes them not feel well or affects them. Primarily they focus on the red flowers to draw them in not the color of the liquid. Having sold literally several hundred hummer feeders at the nature shop I worked at for 10 years this is always great info to pass on. Always love the bird clips. Great to see those walls going up! - Neighbor Don
Jess, please consider not using the hummingbird solution with the red dye. Plenty of info about it and how it causes illness in the creatures who ingest it. You can make your own solution instead. 😊
I really appreciate that you add the names of the critters you guys come across. So interesting seeing the different insects, birds etc. Awesome video this week! Sooo much accomplished
Mr. Crew is such a beautiful boy. I hope he is doing better. UV and him need to be better friends. I love it that Crew is always going to be a part of this house build with Jess adding his fur to her Cobb mix. UV needs to get to shedding too! hahaha. Shave some of Jim and Peter's hair and add it to the mix. Can't hurt. Great progress was made!!
The plants are doing very well, there are flowers bees and butter fly, I do love watching the road runner it is an unusual bird yet beautiful I like the little raised tuft on its head like the Aracuna chicken. Peters is very helpful you have all made great progress on that root cellar. Well done you all Love all the most unusual bugs that crawls by thank for the video.
Jess tonight you made me laugh out loud when you through that cob against the wall. Never seen you so funny.😂. Love your garden and flowers and all the birds visiting. You guys are doing a great job. GOD BLESS❤🙏
It sure looks like the guerilla cart is the way to go. Good thinking. Keep your back safe. Suggestion: I encourage you to build a ring beam as the final course of your bag wall. Drive 36' long 1/2 round rebar down through your bags every 12-16 inches leaving 6" exposed on top. Then tie horizontal rebar to each vertical rebar. Form up a 12" wide by 6" high concrete form and fill it up with cement. You won't have any problems with your roof or walls moving with a rebar reinforced ring beam in place. 😊
Hooray at the top. Bet it feels good to see it back at 1 level. Still much to do but i think your in a better place before the collapse. Great job, stay cool & hydrated. Relax the back. ❤❤
I love the multiple day clip... we get ti see progress in each clip... and less stress to do daily stuff for you. I also feel you've really improved the design of the cellar.
Jess, you do not have to put red dye in the hummingbird water they will come to it without it. I have heard that the dye is bad for the birds. In fact I used to add the dye until I found out you shouldn't add it. Just a thought. You guys are really rocking it on walls
Congratulations on getting the walls up. Glad you both are working together again. It hurt my heart to see Jess in so much pain over the winter. And as someone who lives with chronic back pain, I feel for you. Hope you both stay healthy and continue working for your dream. It will be so beautiful when it's done.
Once the outer walls are done I would place concrete slabs on the perimeter of the top. Make a support beam of 2x10 wood to span the diameter of the root cellar. The beam should be in my opinion be 3 of the 2x10 beams glued together and bolted together. The beam making the diameter then can support roof trusses to further carry the roof load. The water proofed roof can more then be supported by the ridge beam and roof trusses
Wow, you guys got so much done! Those rattlesnakes scare the heck out of me, I worry about you guys getting bit and or one of the dogs. Stay safe, everyone!😊
I don't know if I'm more excited seeing the rattlesnake or the road runner. I've talked to 4 rattlesnakes & only seen one Road Runner. The most beautiful creature I saw a couple of years ago at 68 was a golden Badger here on our Mesa property
Glad Peter helped you, I have seen you on many other peoples channels helping out so if there's anyone with a sore back deserving of help it is you. May God heal you and bless you both.
So proud of you both, and I love the identification of the animals and to see the Hummingbird that appeared after you hanging the feeder for them...rah rah rah....great job you all have done so far....nice to see you back in the swing of things and moving right along...Rah Rah Rah
Your dome garden is looking beautiful. Glad to hear your back is better, the ggorilla cart looks like a better option because of the way you can off load. I hope your akita is feeling better. My daughter has two american akitas, gorgeous dogs. Bye for now and best wishes
Absolutely perfect. Sorry about your back ... And I hate our rattlesnakes.. But makes life interesting. Love jesse's intro the best !! Keep on keeping in !!
Hi Jess and Jim, you must be really excited to get to this stage after the setback. I t is good to have peters help, good on you mate. Stay safe and healthy. I enjoy your journey towards your dream. Congrats and respect to you.
Celebrating from the sidelines with you. Glad to see that structure back where you hoped. Thanks for all the AZ small wildlife focus. I live in the mtns north of you and love seeing them all on camera. Looking forward to continued progress towards your self-reliant life. Green Dream Project fan forever! ❤
I remember the destruction and devastation in your faces you had, There's a light at the end of the tunnel. Look at you now! Such happy faces.😊 You overcome that setback, and we are proud. Great job you guys!
Sam and I have seen Red Velvet (Klugs Velvet?) Ants this year; they are red and black. A few years ago we also had Red Velvet Mites, which are smaller and all red! Love it. AND we had a 4 ft. rattlesnake a few weeks ago! It's that time of year, I guess.
The desert around you is alive with creatures. It looks so barren and then I see fascinating bugs and birds and snakes. I doubt they would be in that particular area but you are providing them with shade and food and water. How wonderful your place will be -thriving with plants and wildlife.
It's great seeing you guys rebuild. I still have a question on the cistern. With all the rain you guys have been getting, what's the water storage situation? Also, what's the plan to moving towards retiring the polytanks and just having the cistern as the main water source?
Job well done! Jess, it's so nice to hear you in the videos. You are both growing in your channel, and your homestead. So proud of you both! Keep up the good work. 👍
Great progress as a result of all y'all's hard work. Verry impressive! I know you're also going through a challenging time with Cruz's health, and I'm wishing you lots of strength. Thanks for introducing all the visiting critters to us. Great to see the butterflies enjoying those beautiful flowers growing in your desert garden I love your videos. Thanks for showing us the way.
Keep at it guy's! It's hard work that will pay you back ten times over!!. We are building a monolithic eco shell dome root cellar right now. That cob slinging is what we are doing except with concrete mud, I find it satisfying smearing it on....
❤ great news your back is getting better, that changes everything! Jess, it amazes me hummingbirds find you in the desert❤❤ I love watching them, they also must have friends😊😊. Your garden adding life and changing the soil is so amazing. The Root cellar is coming along nicely! Pretty soon you will be above ground level. Will you build a room above it?
Buddy , I hope you don't have a pinched nerve . Believe me pinched nerves hurt like hell , I sincerely hope you're okay and that you feel better !!! 💯🙏😇👍
I enjoyed the format, order of your work. Yall we are getting it done so much accomplished. Your physical strength is so important, but dang that mental strength is the boss.
Trust me from someone who’s having back problems. I have a inverted table that I hang upside down from. I do it in the morning and in the evening. For about 15-30 minutes. But I’ve worked myself up to that amount of time. My doctor says not to do it that it’s hard on my heart, but the back relief is more important to my life. Meaning I am not bedridden. I’m able to do things that I wasn’t able to do when my back was hurting.
I have been very impressed to see how you were able to save, and Rebuild your root cellar bag structure. Looking forward to seeing the above ground walls going up! :)
Please make a sunflower patch! Those are great and make great seeds to eat! You could plant them in a circle and inside the circle you could dig a little hot tub or swimming pool for relaxing in...a relaxatub for your sore bones!!! js
You definitely make me want to try and make something like this as a Grandma's campout in the bush. Just need team help. You both are very hard workers very impressive with the store room.👍😁💞
You need two wheels on the front of your wheel barrow, much safer and easier to manage. I think you just need a longer axle and a second tire. Check at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
This is exciting y'all! What do you think of all the progress?
Howdy Jess, Jim, and Peter. Your progress is amazing. That’s a lot of work and the heat is unbearable at times but you guys keep pushing it. Great job how is Crew doing? I see UV is helpful with her moral support. Hope all is well and blessings to you all.
You guys are doing great!
Wow Love this Home👍Beautiful❣️
Is the root cellar accessible from inside the new home?
Great to see things moving forward
The collapse was devastating, but you never let it get you down for long. Great frontier spirit.

End is in sight. Jessica is a hell of a hard working women. Great job

You Both are amazing. I could see you in 30 years on a wonderful complex I wish you both the best of health. You're wonderful.
I like the new format and appreciate the critter features with their names listed. Nice job 😁
Hooray at the top. Bet it feels good to see it back at 1 level. Still much to do but i think your in a better place before the collapse. Great job, stay cool & hydrated. Relax the back. ❤❤
God bless you all and keep you strong! I loved the butterflies and the hummingbird mixed in!
Nice garden. Good work getting the root cellar rebuilt. Looking forward to your new upstairs design on it.
Great content; will watch more! YAY PETER!!! Teamwork makes the dream work! 👏💐
I love the multiple day clip... we get ti see progress in each clip... and less stress to do daily stuff for you. I also feel you've really improved the design of the cellar.
Very exciting to have the walls meet up after the big cave in - you guys rock!!!!! Hoping your dog feels better.

What about red glass containing clear liquid?
Congratulations on getting the walls up. Glad you both are working together again. It hurt my heart to see Jess in so much pain over the winter. And as someone who lives with chronic back pain, I feel for you. Hope you both stay healthy and continue working for your dream. It will be so beautiful when it's done.
So glad your better. Awesome job... nice engineering on it this time. Experience is the best teacher.

Jess..it is sooo cool to see you being playful!! Y'all are getting closer. So nice to see!! Love your videos!
So what's the ultimate plan for the homestead now? Will the root cellar still end up with a dome on top? Or did the entire dome plan change, too?
I enjoyed your new entrance. Thank you two for sharing ❤!
Glad Peter helped you, I have seen you on many other peoples channels helping out so if there's anyone with a sore back deserving of help it is you. May God heal you and bless you both.
Your dome garden is so wonderful.
Awesome progress guys. Hoping there's no more set-backs. ❤️❤️❤️

We usually see our rattlesnakes after a rain..i think the drop in temp gets them moving.
Hi Jess and Jim, you must be really excited to get to this stage after the setback. I t is good to have peters help, good on you mate. Stay safe and healthy. I enjoy your journey towards your dream. Congrats and respect to you.
Absolutely fantastic to see the rebuilding of the build. Much continued success in your current project and the entirety of your home
Hopefully, it does not Flood....the root cellar when the big rain comes....
Congrats! It's looking good and you got so much done. Love and prayers for you all.
Good progress 👍, hang in there and take care of yourselves 💪.
Amazing work ! Stay safe and hang in there ! Love the nature shots !

CONGRATULATIONS EXCELLENT work 🇺🇸📣
Road runner, BeepBeep 😂
Cooler weather allows more energy for work. Extreme heat takes the energy right of of a person. Great progress!
I remember the destruction and devastation in your faces you had, There's a light at the end of the tunnel. Look at you now! Such happy faces.😊 You overcome that setback, and we are proud. Great job you guys!
Absolutely awesome team 👏 looking great 👍🏻
Thanks Richard!
It's looking great! You've made lots of progress!
I hope Crew is doing better. Great to see the progress!
You both are doing such great I can't believe just how fast you both are getting this done stay safe outthere
Woah! Big jump up in production value with the graphics and voice-over.
I love it
Sam and I have seen Red Velvet (Klugs Velvet?) Ants this year; they are red and black. A few years ago we also had Red Velvet Mites, which are smaller and all red! Love it. AND we had a 4 ft. rattlesnake a few weeks ago! It's that time of year, I guess.
Great job, looks much more stable this time!
What are your plans now for on top of the root cellar instead of a dome?
2:1 hot water to sugar - no red dye pls for the hummers :)
The desert around you is alive with creatures. It looks so barren and then I see fascinating bugs and birds and snakes. I doubt they would be in that particular area but you are providing them with shade and food and water. How wonderful your place will be -thriving with plants and wildlife.

Glad to see u are unwinding the wire that will be much easier to to work
❤ it’s coming along great ❤ thanks for sharing ❤
It's great to see how excited y'all are with the progress that y'all are making. Keep up the awesome work.
Excellent, I'm so happy 😊 for y'all 😊
Thanks for sharing all these cool projects with us
Job well done! Jess, it's so nice to hear you in the videos. You are both growing in your channel, and your homestead. So proud of you both! Keep up the good work. 👍
Good job guys!!!😊🎉❤
Rattlesnake, dinner or dog food, is better then a future death by poison, no?
Am loving the shots ya get of the wildlife & bugs 🕊️
Great work!🎉
Awww Crew Dog living his best life. So cute.
Great progress!!
Good effort there, can't wait to see the top
Amazing progress
That was a long time coming and I wasn't sure it was going happen, but you made it back up to the edge. Now to get it "dried in".
Great video! ❤🎉 loved the secret ingredient and the pitch! See you next time!
Great progress as a result of all y'all's hard work. Verry impressive! I know you're also going through a challenging time with Cruz's health, and I'm wishing you lots of strength. Thanks for introducing all the visiting critters to us. Great to see the butterflies enjoying those beautiful flowers growing in your desert garden I love your videos. Thanks for showing us the way.
WOW if only the world was full of people like you two.
Keep at it guy's! It's hard work that will pay you back ten times over!!. We are building a monolithic eco shell dome root cellar right now. That cob slinging is what we are doing except with concrete mud, I find it satisfying smearing it on....

Jim your brave the way you wrangle those snakes! Awesome work guys!
Great progress yall!
Buddy , I hope you don't have a pinched nerve . Believe me pinched nerves hurt like hell , I sincerely hope you're okay and that you feel better !!! 💯🙏😇👍
Beauty is so important when you live in a harsh place! We have a hummer we’ve named Napoleon 😊
I enjoyed the format, order of your work. Yall we are getting it done so much accomplished. Your physical strength is so important, but dang that mental strength is the boss.
A lot of back filling to do. Great progress. Congratulations
Amazing to see your root celler take shape guys! Great work!😊
TY for hi-def, BEAUTIFUL color saturation... my goodness.. lovn the visuals!!!
If the wheel barrel slips let it go don't try catching it.❤
Nice idea showing us the insects and birds and names. I have never seen a fuzzy or velvet ant before, I didn’t know it was even a thing. So thank you.

Desert flowers, the dog and the Butterfly, good Birds the bees, crickets, and a freaking rattlesnake!!🤯
Very exciting! You both look great, I am glad you're feeling better.
Hello from Omaha Nebraska, I enjoy learning your building techniques
Please make a sunflower patch! Those are great and make great seeds to eat! You could plant them in a circle and inside the circle you could dig a little hot tub or swimming pool for relaxing in...a relaxatub for your sore bones!!! js
You definitely make me want to try and make something like this as a Grandma's campout in the bush. Just need team help. You both are very hard workers very impressive with the store room.👍😁💞
You guys have come a long way with the Root Cellar! You turned a set back in a set forward!
Awesome job y'all! 💪😄
