Thanks for the compliment and following along with the project as always. I hope to make the channel even better over time with better camera equipment and more practice editing. I'll keep doing what I do.
Someone that's 6'6" is used to watching their head clearance. Ask me how I know. I'm assuming these top/bottom staircase doors are for thermodynamics only? Holding I'm AC upstairs and heat downstairs with the seasons? You are truly a master of all trades. Sitework utilities, grading, landscaping, plumbing, electrical....!!
I guess you are right about anyone who is over 6' 6" is used to watching out. The doors will play a part in that aspect as well. It will be nice to have some privacy when other people are around, too. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
Hello and good morning. Thanks for another great video. Do you have a video on spray foaming your house? We also are curious about the solar set up along with what line of work you’re in.
Good morning, and thanks for following along with the ranch build. Sorry, back when I did the spray foam, I didn't video the process. It is not that hard, but definitely hot and miserable. As far as the solar set-up, I have not done a dedicated video, but one of my first videos about the barbecue heat exchanger, I showed the charge controllers and talked about it some. I have worked in the construction industry for a little over 30 years MEP mainly.
Thanks for watching, and it's a good question. It is a concern, but there are some things we do to lower the risk. A fire break in the form of sheetrock will give you around one hour of time before the framing starts to burn. I have some plans to build stone dome house in the future at the ranch as well. I need to finish phase one of the pond, and then I will start building the domes.
Honestly, I don't know what price they go for. I always buy new solar panels through Amazon for around the 100w at $75. It sounds like the prices you have are very reasonable. Thanks for following along with the project.
@rm6857 You are right, but I bought all the panels I needed for the ranch about eight years ago. I'll keep I mind what you have brought to light if I need more in the future, though.
Simon do you know the name of the Mountain range you showed? I have a friend who has a ranch near the Eagle Mts. Sounds like a great plan on interior walls.
Thanks for watching as always. I do know the name, but for now, it will have to stay a mystery. If I say the name, the world will know where thousands of dollars of tools and materials are with no one there most of the time. Eventually, I will get to the point where the ranch location doesn't have to be hidden.
@@dianne.murielrobidoux9008 I'm probably going to just leave the access from the inside of the closet. It will be the least expensive way to go. Thanks for watching the progress as always.
Great work Simon. still one of the best homesteading channels on youtube.

Looking great! I love the utilization of the space above the stairs 👍
Thanks for following along with the progress as always. I think the space will be used quite efficiently in this manner.
Awesome Job. Looks great. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the compliment and following along as always. Hope your weekend will be great too.
Great idea to utilize what space you have.🤝🏻
I prefer to go small and efficient when it comes to houses. Thanks for following along with the project as always.
Looks good, always handy to have some storage space and to use the space that otherwise would have no use at all. 👍
That is how I feel about it. Thanks for watching the project as always.
the views look like paradise,with pond plants and earth works so far brilliant,still need date palms and bananas to see how well they do,great work
I'm working on the date palms and banana trees. Thanks for watching as always.
@@TimelineRanch great work and planning as usual,breath taking views
@@mechanics4all405 Thanks for the compliment. I'll keep doing what I do, making the magic happen.
Straddling the two walls above the stairwell was something out of 'The Matrix' . . . lol.
I'm just glad it didn't end up on America's funniest videos. Thanks for following along with the ranch build as always.

Thanks for giving the measurements in centimeters, then we Europeans don't have to convert!
No problem, and thanks for following along with the project.
everyone needs to learn how to measure in centipedes. lol
@@TimAZ Thanks for watching the progress as always. It doesn't hurt to know both.
As an european... We either have brick houses or concrete houses. I don't mean to judge or something but aren't you worried about house burning down?

How much are 2nd hand solar panels in US? Here in europe, normal price for ~200w panel is like 4-20Usd. Can get 90W thin film for less than 2bucks
Honestly, I don't know what price they go for. I always buy new solar panels through Amazon for around the 100w at $75. It sounds like the prices you have are very reasonable. Thanks for following along with the project.
@@TimelineRanch Spending too much. Many solar farms or instalations dumping their panels made 10years ago. Most of them are in very good shape.

@@TimelineRanch I understand. I'm pretty sure I'm familiar with that range. West Texas is sheer beauty.
@rvlivingwiththegeezer7791 Yep, I can't wait until the ranch is my permanent home.
Good thinking for that space could you put a pocket door or is it too late
