  • Now that the tiny house is in a more permanent spot, we finally added a system to infiltrate the grey water.

    Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, cats, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
    Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
    We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/arielcelestepho... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

    Burley's prewash system. Unique! Following your journey for many years has been a real pleasure and inspiring to search for a life lived closer to nature. Thank you for sharing even small parts of your busy and happy life with us.

    Holy smokes! I can't believe I have been following you for 9 years! Amazing! Doesn't seem like that long, though when I stop to think about it, it is that long. Lot's has happened over 9 years!

    I have a septic system and still only use environmental safe soaps. And wipe all dishes down where no grease will go into the septic. Enjoyed watching you install your gray water system

    Velcro was so loud, I thought my sister's cat had gotten into my room...and was speaking with a slight accent. 🤣

    The simplicity yet complexity of it all! 😁Good call on getting one installed….we’ve had one of these in each of our homes as to not overtax our septic systems… my husband was a plumber so it was always easy enough to do and a priority for him.

    What a team 👌…. Everything’s always so well thought-out and planned & enjoyable to watch come to completion…
    I’m astounded to hear you say going on year NINE for your beloved tiny house. I started watching in the beginning …seems impossible.❤

    Hey Ariel...there is a puzzle game in the Android Playstore that has a picture of your tiny house as a jigsaw puzzle! Lol

    I try to keep oil and grease out of mine so that it doesn’t attack animals. Or clog up the 100 feet of pipe. I also added a heat tape in case it freezes, which came in handy last winter.

    • @damogranheart5521

      Heat tape is your friend in Minnesota Winters! Blessings!🕊🦋🐈‍⬛🎃🍁🍂

    This is so great for you Ariel and Clay. I hope it really works fantastic for you. I know here in Minnesota years ago we lived in a mobile home and on the really cold days we would just trickle our faucets so that the outside line wouldn't freeze. I'm sure you know all about how to do all that the weather where are. I hope things really well for your brother in his projects as well

    An elongated dry well that is all under ground. Fantastic idea and design. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

    Ariel, I would enjoy your video’s even if there wasn’t audio. I just love hanging out at your place and will be forever grateful I found you. Love Clay and your brother working together too! Haven’t seen Tanna for awhile, hope she’s doing well.

    Timely video! Just got the greywater system put in my place last week...totally agree with the "prewash" of dishes (I'm not above licking my own dessert plate clean before washing it, ha!), and only simple eco-friendly products used as well.
    Loved Clay's little impromptu jig-dance in the trench to pack the dirt...so cute to watch! 😀

    Has your husband considered consulting? I feel like with all the experience he has there are a lot of new homesteaders who would appreciate his advice on a lot of potential projects and he could help them from making a lot of expensive mistakes.

    Very interesting to see the system you've setup. Just curious if everyone takes navy showers.

    That's odd this year isn't it? I live in the southernmost part of North Carolina on the South Carolina border and we are usually well into the high 80s low 90s this time of year with a low in the mid-60s to 70s but this year we have been seeing as low as 40s at night and we're in the 70s during the day I love this kind of weather but it's very unusually cold for this time of year down here

    Do you still need to add rid-ex for digestion for just grey water?

    Is the tiny house connected to water or do you still fill it by hand?
