  • May 10, 2022 we not only hit our 4 year anniversary of moving to this property but we also hit 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS on our TH-cam Channel!
    4 years ago we sold everything we owned except our tools and our rv, moved out to 73 acres of raw land in West Virginia and embarked on the journey of a lifetime. As husband and wife, we built our home from the ground up over the past 4 years.
    We started out documenting our journey with the intention to share with our family and for our kids to be able to look back on when they were older. Little did we know, you all would welcome us into your homes week after week. You've laughed with us, cried with us, encouraged us, and cheered us on as we poured our blood, sweat and tears into building a home for our family.
    Thank you so much for being a part of our story and for making such a huge difference in our lives!
    This is our timelapse showing the last 4 years of our build, our family and the road to 1 million subscribers!

    • TIMELAPSE- Couple Buil...
    We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
    Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

      No doubt they will be lost for a time without Chuck's expert management keeping the project on track. My guess is they'll have to quickly promote Frankie to fill the position - to avoid having the whole project just go completely off the rails. Hahahaha!

    In late 2018 I suffered a brain injury incident and kinda lost a lot of things, but as I recovered I found this little family taking on a huge project and I became involved in their day to day struggles and triumphs. Following along as I recovered and became normal again gave me one more thing to be happy about. You guys are a part of my life now and I will always be here. ❤️

    Thank you for sharing your amazing family home build with us, as well as your wonderful family, i've been with you from the start so it's amazing to see how much and how quickly your kids have grown, not to mentions the fantastic looking home and how nostalgic it was to see a recap of the whole build.

    My favourite ‘second family’ for 4 years! I missed the first couple of uploads but dove in and your videos have been a part of our weekly ritual ever since. We feel we have grown with you and your beautiful family, through your ups and downs, injuries, hiccups and successes. I have laughed along the way, been stressed with you along the way, been proud of you along your journey and sat in wonder at your heartwarming partnership, patience, witty banter and love you have for each other and your precious family. I felt the pain of your loss of your ‘good boy’ from 15,000kms away in Australia today and like we have before, we cried with you along the way again today. We are so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you, B and C

    Josh and Erin, I am very sorry to have just now learned of the passing of Chuck. I have been following you guys for quite some time, and I have noticed that Chuck wasn't appearing in your videos much recently. I guess his passing was a recent thing. He reminded me of the Dachshund my former father in law had when he passed. She weighed 28 pounds when we took her in, and in the three or so years we had her, we got her down to about 17 pounds with diet changes and exercise. It was amazing to watch her adapt and integrate with our "pack" of dogs. She was an entirely different dog by the time we lost her, and I believed she loved every minute of it. Very rewarding. Owning animals as you do, and pets as most of us do, is a very rewarding thing, and very hard to accept when the time is over. I hope the other two little guys can take over for Chuck and help you get over the loss of one great little fella. Take care.

    Congratulations on 1 million subscribers. I’ve been watching you guys from the beginning fighting blood/bone cancer for the last 8 1/2 years and I’ve been in bed most of the time and I always watch you guys and it’s help me through a lot of pain and sad times and I thank you guys for that you deserve all you have. I didn’t realize Chuck had passed away so rest in peace Chuck. 🙏❤️

    Thanks for letting me be part of your adventure. I'm going to miss your job supervisor, Chuck. Still trying to wipe the tears now and then. I wish I could go back in time and try what you two have accomplished but it takes a special love between two people to do what you have done. Josh you have to be the luckiest man on earth to have God bless you with a love like you have. Thank you both for all you have done for me. I'll be sure to say Hi to Chuck when I see him for ya 💗

    I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD MY OWN HOME WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND TRAINED FOR IT IN ALL MY YOUNGER YEARS. I WENT TO CARPENTRY SCHOOL FOR 4 YEARS, TOOK ELETRONICS, PLUMBING, CONCRETE WORK, FIREPLACE BUILDING, STONE WORK, BRICK LAYING, ROOF CONSTRUCTION, SHINGLING, TILEING, LIGHTING, I DID ALL THOSE JOBS, BUT AS IN LIFE IT MOVES ON AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOUR 70 (LAST WEEK) NOW I AM TOO OLD TO DO IT. THE BEST LAYED PLANS OF MICE AND MEN. I HAVE WATCHED YOUR FAMILY FROM DAY ONE, WHEN I FOUND YOU FROM THE START. SO I HAVE LIVED VICARIOUSLY THROUGH ALL 5 OF YOU. IT HAS BEEN A VERY WONDERFUL JOURNEY. I THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIVES WITH ALL OF US.

    You're a beautiful family, you have a wonderful home and farm. You built it from the ground up and have invited us to watch your progress.

    Wow! What a milestone! So proud to have been along for almost the whole build. So sorry for your loss. Chucky was a mainstay and such a joy. He was certainly loved by all of you and all of us. Can't wait to see the next chapter...

  • @8uffalo
    @8uffalo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I find it so crazy, that just one week shy of two years ago, I stumbled across your time lapse video that brought me up-to-speed on the build at that time. I haven’t missed a minute, since. It’s one of the few constants in my life over the last two years, where I myself started a new chapter becoming fully certificated to fly helicopters. I always look forward to your mid-week and weekend videos, and it brings me a lot of joy when I open up this app to find your newest video ready for me. This update was so nice to once again see just how far you’ve progressed, condensed into a bite sized chunk. I look forward to the next part of the build. And Chuck is still my spirit animal.

    @michaelrussell6661 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    In Australia decades ago farmers used to live in tin sheds whilst building up not just a house but also the farm itself. My own parents did this too. Hot water was just a large copper barrel over a fire, cooking was done using a wood stove, lighting was from a 32v pedal generator into a battery which would only 2 or 3 light globes.
    When Mum was pregnant with me and I was due she would be driving a tractor to try and make me come, When I finally did arrive I was [overcooked] as in being 3 weeks overdue. :D
    You guys have done a great job in building a home and video-doco'ing it so that in decades time you and the family will look back on the video's with pride and saying{We DID THIS}

  • @BirdYoumans

    I think we've all enjoyed sharing your many "victories" with you, but most of all I think we are attracted to your togetherness and love for each other in the entire family. One of these days when you reach retirement and you look back on your "family photo album" you will wonder how you got there so fast. Savor every moment now as I'm sure you do. You are making wonderful memories with your kids and each other. What a great example you are for your kids and other young people to emulate. Congrats on a million!!!

May God continue to bless you and your family. Rest In Peace Chuck and thanks for the great times. Stay safe
