You ask for suggestions .... I am in my 70's, bought our retirement home while in our early 50's. "I" was overzealous in planting and creating shrubs and flower beds. "I" created a lot of maintenance and problems. Stay simple. Get your skirting up as soon as possible, those snakes are looking for a cool, dry place to nest. Be sure and install small ventilation fans in your skirting, at least two, one blowing in and one drawing out. These are not costly and will keep mold and mildew out, also help keep your house cool in the summer (heat rises). Do not plant anything that is HANGING OVER your house or obstructing access to it. Alway be able to walk completely around you home, in case of plumbing, rodent problems, (you want easy access for any repairs and maintenance. THE OLDER YOU GET, THE MORE IMPORTANT THIS BECOMES. Watch how the water runs and where does it pool up when it rains. Create small water catchment area where it pools and drainage to help the water run to these areas. You can have multiple catchments for dry seasons. You can plant small vegetable gardens close to these areas, also your wildlife will thank you.
Excellent tips and words of wisdom 🤗🙌🏼👍🏼
Excellent advice!!!!!! Thanks for providing good counsel that we will definitely follow! Really appreciate it and thanks again !!!
Simple is less stress 🙏🏻✝️❤️
15:04 Beautiful view.....🙂
Great advise
May I suggest you lay down a cement pad to put your tiny home on? Because where it is now is slightly sloped. And when it rains heavily, the sand/dirt will wash away. Then your park model will shift, move & become unlevel. Just a thought.
My husband and I retired about 6 yrs ago from sea level, SoCal to mountains of Northern AZ at 5,500 ft. elevation. Getting our bodies used to working in this elevation took a little time, but we did.
It sounds like your goal is to be completely self sufficient, off-grid. Our suggestions for you are:
Look for people that are already living a self sufficient, off-grid lifestyle and pick their brain. Especially find out what mistakes they wish they had known about so you are able to avoid those mistakes, saving time and money.
Self sufficiency will cover water, food & shelter to start out with.
Water - You're in southern CA in the dry hills it looks like. Even though you have had a couple of wet weeks during the winter, usually there is a long dry summer/fall of 'fire season'. A water catchment system is a good idea but it doesn't rain there every day or even every week and sometimes not even every month. Our suggestion is to tap into your aquifer and drill a well. If you have a pond with a natural spring, you are blessed! Clean & aerate the pond so you can introduce good eating fish. Fish are a great source of protein & whether it's your own pond or a local stream/river, fishing is an inexpensive way to feed your body well! ALSO, hand on to the guts and heads for great plant food.
You can supply your fresh water holding tank to supply your home through a filter syster, directly supply your enclosed greenhouse. Raised beds and walls that start below the surface will keep you from feeding the critters that are looking for a free meal. Never stop researching to improve your supply of water.
Food - besides your greenhouse for vegetables and fruits, build a chicken coop with easy access to the eggs. Build it close to the kitchen door. On those cold windy or rainy mornings, you don't want to have a long trek for breakfast. Research the Wildlife that is indigenous to your property and area for hunting whatever protein you like to bbq. If you don't have a hunting rifle, get one asap & target practice frequently. This does 3 things; #1. makes your aim more accurate so as to not waste expensive ammo, #2. warns the apex predators to stay away #3. gives you something to protect yourself with if one of those apex predators wants to dine on your chickens or pets.
ALSO research your indigenous plants & flowers. Many are edible. You can add them into a salad, make teas, make remedies & salves, use for seasonings. Look online and purchase a book on your specific area's vegetation. Keep it in your library for future references.
Shelter - having reliable shelter includes water & power. An off-grid solar panel system & lithium ion batteries for solar storage.
Remember: tending to the things that supply your needs every day will pay off in the end. Once you have the basics down, you might want to think about expanding. A variety of animals to raise for fresh meat. And think about smoking meat and fish for the off seasons. Also learn how to 'can' your fruits and veggies. You get out what you put into your homestead.
Once you are expanded, think about some kind of sellable or tradeable items that people want or need. This will take you from surviving to THRIVING off-grid.
We hope this was helpful.
Jeremiah 29:11
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
the lady owner is strikingly beautiful... her personality is fun!!!! good luck and i am very much wishing it was me!!! enjoy!!!
Thank you so much!!
You're loving life! Here's a tip. When you're assembling most things like those stairs. If you leave all the bolts and nuts a little loose till the last one. You will be able to line everything up. Then you can tighten them all after assembly 👍
Good tip!
Congratulations on your new home!!! It is so beautiful. Thank you breaking down the price for everything you paid to have it delivered and set up. May God continue to bless and keep you. Thank you for helping us to dream big….
Circle drive, plastic down and mulch. Trim the tree, put a bench. Some plants that deter snakes, deer,etc. for now throw mothballs around.
Hi,
I'm a new subcriber. I have seen all kinds of tiny homes. YOURS IS DEFINITELY 1 OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN !!! IT IS FABULOUS!!!
Congratulations...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for Sharing
&
Take Care 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much!
Plus, you have that dog nobody’s going to mess with you guys
Suggest patio blocks under those stairs to reduce sinking if it rains and increase stability.
Will do … Thanks!
Just found your channel. I’m looking forward to watching you guys grow your homestead!!!
Your positive attitude is contagious. Congratulations on the small projects. It all adds up!
Yes it does! Thanks
Mam, I am so glad to hear you give your husband credit. Most folks just say “we” when they don’t actually do anything themselves, but their husbands. Kudos.
I hope and pray that your dreams come true with your homestead.
Fire pit? With great seating of course.......hidden🎉
It would be beautiful to leave the native grasses and just add some wildflowers and a rock or timber border for the front garden area. 😊
Plan what you want, need & desire to have for the future. Perhaps hire a landscape architect to maximize land usage to include solar energy. Possibly opt for green space garden? Have fun.😊
Congrats on your new home enjoy it.
Thank you! Will do!
Leave that central grassy area alone for the time being. Live with the space for a bit. You have enough on your plate!
Very much agree. Plan on each project taking at least twice as much time, money and energy as you envision, if not more.
Love it all! Your dream come true is my dream in a few years.
I will be following closely.
Best regards. ✨️
I would build a fire pit area and Pond in the circle. I recommend that you Get yourself a good Snake Stick / Snake Tongs to carry with you while walking around. Oh I think it's called a cowboy gate latch.
All great ideas! 😊 Thanks
Talking to my boys about purchasing land for homestead, they are in.
A bench or two with low maintenance plants. Congratulations on your new homestead. Wishing you the best of luck.
I love it!!! So beautiful
Thank you so much!!
Wow, you're channel, just discovered it and love it. We share a lot of the same passions. Thank you for sharing your content. It is appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to watch !
I saw that they have pergolas now with solar panels that go over your deck that’s a suggestion for cute solar panels
I hope the plumbing is sealed up good in the bathroom and kitchen sink cabinet to keep the snakes out
I hope so too! 🤣😂
New Subscriber love your beautiful smile ❤
You have such a pretty smile
You really have beautiful views! Congratulations on your new home. I can only dream of this lifestyle! Glad I found your channel! Hello from Ellenwood Georgia!
Jesse Central loan I have to give you a thumbs up 🌄🦍☮️❤️
Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈
As per your request for suggestions, I'd offer that u make that center area as beautiful and low maintenance as possible, ie a bench, some pretty flowering trees or bushes and a type of ground cover that isn't grass but like a moss rose instead so that u don't have to mow it. The moss rose is very pretty n yet u can walk on it bcuz its very hearty
Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for sharing.
I am excited for you,i can not wait to see what you do in the yard. Just so you know,you can by stuff called "snake be gone" it does work. My sister uses it around her home and no more snakes EVER, but she does not have a dog. I do not know if it would be safe for him.
Thanks for the tips!
Loved your comment about hubby being afraid of heights, I'm 6'2" tall and high places really freak me out. New sub here and really love your new home.
Thanks for subbing!
Not me looking around past you in the video, watching out for rattle snakes 🐍👀😅😂
😅
May I suggest that you keep Benedryl close by just in case your pup does get bitten - - that can save his life - although still needs to be seen immediately by vet.
Good advice… will do!!! Thank You!
Looks good! Love that green tape! Snakes don't like mothballs!
Rattlesnakes want food water and shelter. Keep all out of reach you should be ok. A moat would be great lol
Hi there, I subscribed to your channel, YALL are so nice and I wish you the best. How about a gazebo and benches on that circle of grass. I think it would look so pretty. Best of luck and much happiness, always put God first and you will never go wrong. He’s such a good God
Great idea!!
What a beautiful home ❤ New sub here. Can’t wait to watch you grow 😊
Thank you very much
منزل جميل ❤
These two videos that I watch for really nice I watched them bring in your tiny home and set it up. I just forgot to comment on that video cuz it pops straight to the next one on the next one I was watching you guys all your husband should I say take down the green tape off of the Windows of the tiny home and you said it took 3 hours and you said it probably wouldn't have took that long if you would have did it soon as they delivered it. The tiny home is so adorable I know you guys are going to fix that property up so nice when you guys put something down to pay the ground I will put something down that way you won't have to keep doing it every year like sometime the Rocks they're good but sometimes the rain washes them away so maybe you can think of something different something better or maybe the Rocks is what you want but anyway I'm here to be watching I love this channel already let me go on to the third video looks like another one has popped up just saying.❤🦋💙💞
You guys are so lucky to have a great home 🏠 😊
Plant native flowers, that are drought tolerant, and will repel wildlife, and attract pollinators. Forget about grass, unless it is a native species. I am a California native, of seventy-four years, but from Northern California. I love what y'all are doing. Your home is beautiful, and so is your property. Remember, gardening is always an experiment. Don't fret over the small stuff, and have fun. You are a beautiful couple! Take care, and God bless!
Thank you very much for the wisdom and inspiration…really appreciate it.
You asked for comments well one comment is when you drill a well at least go down to the fourth pocket of water in it will save you time and trouble you will not run out a water if you do this you have many different pockets of on your property so therefore go to the least the 4th pocket of water where it doesn't cause you to run out when you have a continuous flow of water coming out of your when you drill been there done that!
I would till and sod the island, add a hanging tree swing, and outline it with a. 2 foot wildflower bed. Barn cats will keep snakes at bay, Sod around the house as much as possible. Solid skirting is recommended to keep out pests.
Sod around the home is a great idea! Thanks!
Good luck for your start❤
Put apple air tags in your house if they steal your home you can find it urgent.....,....😊😊😊
Congratulations the homestead is beautiful that area would be nice for a deck
But I couldn’t figure out exactly where you were with all the trees in Southern California. There’s not much vacant land. It looked like yours in Southern California so I like the looks of it would even be better if it wasn’t in Southern California or California, but that was your choice and that’s OK. I chose to move to Arizona 92 and that was the best thing I ever did. However, along the Colorado River area, everybody loves to come here to play in the river in the lake. Snowbird just come in all the snowbirds decided to stay so it’s kind of growing now there’s no place to live so I live kinda like California.
Diffently a cazebo
Keep pluggin ya'll you doin good. It takes a long time, but when that day comes where all that work starts paying off you will be glad you did it. Homesteading is a job that never really ends but you do have milestones where you can be happy with reaching your goals.
A donkey will help keep them snakes down. And goats will take care of the grass lol
I thought a pond and waterfall feature would be nice for the center part of the circular drive but with the rattlesnakes probably not a good idea. Rattlesnakes like rocks so be extra careful in your rock pile areas. Im rooting for ya'll
You do have to worry about being safe ,my parents bought 22arces up north in the back if 100 acres and there tiny home got broke into and every thing was taken and damaged.
For best weed control and low maintenance I would do desert landscaping. Not sure how big property is or state but less maintenance as we age the better.
Lye always works for keeping the snakes away
Good advice… Thank you !
Hi,
Congratulations I am really happy for both of you.
I am also interested in buying a land. When I saw your video I loved the area and surroundings. You mentioned it’s in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains. I tried to find out where exactly. Can you provide me with the name of the area and is it on high elevation? Can you please provide me with the website where you bought the land from?Thank you in advance
Are you doing an awesome job? Keep up the good work. Surprised you stayed in California. I’m glad I left. Praise the Lord. However there’s no perfect place to live so if it works for you, that is the thing that is perfect. However, I’m going to say, be careful on your stairs because I knew somebody stepped out of their trailer and the snake was under the stairs, so just use a little caution cause they could be under the stairs. I’m not saying this to you but just use a little caution. You got a lot to do but so far looks pretty good.
a pond and seating area
Just a suggestion, but believe your dog can be given a shot by your vet to protect him ahead of time if he does happen to get bitten by a rattlesnake. I have friends who have their dogs given this shot every spring. So happy to follow you on this adventure.
Get some goats keeps snakes away
Question: Are you going to concrete the driveway to the house.
Too expensive
Understand. Is the drive way from the gate to the house easy to use when its wet.
@@MegaGoodlucks Yes, going to bring in a few truck loads of gravel.
I really love your house. And the land space looks so beautiful. I love country living. Enjoy the adventures.. i support you 100%
You need to put rock on your driveway to the house and brick around you steps
Thanks for the advice 😊
Get some water containers,à generator, riding lawn riding mower like you guys said getting older and a weedwacker isn't it

i hope not it is a beautiful home
What’s with the creepy intro voice
We like creepy intro voices 👻
I hope and pray that your dreams come true with your homestead.
I live in the Tucson area..lots of snakes here too. There are snake training classes for dogs. My pup did it and it has been great. She alerts me but does not get too close. You might check to see if it is available there.
That is awesome!
Your so lucky you have horses for neighbors!!!
Go buy some flat pavers to set stairs on and make a small landing to help keep dirt and snakes visible. Crushed oyster shells around the house will help build a barrier from snakes.
I think you should leave the center area just with some bushes and really pretty low flowers on around it
As you are living there and making noise you might chase the snake a little father from your home because they do not want to be around you either. But i would be real careful even going in and out of your home because the snakes might go under your house to hide in shade
I heard Moth balls work well keeping snakes away.
They help with crickets too.
Also, Mothballs will repel mice. I use them in my house crawl space.
you both have it looking very nice awesome job
Thanks 👍
Congratulations on your new home! A nice grassy area with gazebo with a cement pad for brick bbq pit would be very nice by that tree
Do you have well,sepis,water well.????.
Love your new home go to Lowe’s get some snake a way spray kind of the repellents
We use these around our property in Australia. Not sure if they can help you
Why couldn't you just take off the green tape from the inside?
Windows at top do not open...
Thanks for sharing your adventure. What are your first names? Best of luck going forward!🙏🏻
Thanks for watching! Chris & Val
New sub, excited to watch your journey. 🎉 im from southern California, born and raised ❤
Thanks for subbing!
LOVE GRASS
When you say make a list of everything that’s broken that’s kind of scary, they don’t look at this before they leave the property
List is made of damages occurred during transport.
I'm loving this! Thanks so much for sharing the journey 😊
You are so welcome!
Are you going to put a permanent foundation underneath the house and something around the border?
Yes
Congratulations
Be subscriber here ❤😊
Why don’t you try and get the tape off the windows from inside the house?
Where do you guys live that there’s snakes
The windows that we are addressing do not open.
did you have a lot ofdamage
Minor dings… nothing major. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching!!
Looks good guys…
My goodness with a God view Of the mountains what a beautiful site I wouldn’t want a television
That house would be really nice with a deck built on the side. A gazebo outside and a fire pit would be awesome on that land.
Love your home.
