- Welcome to our first video on our new channel. We will be documenting every moment of our new home build here on this channel. Subscribe to follow us as we learn the ins and outs of developing our 15 acres in Idaho into a home.
In this video, we are camping on our property while we meet with several different contractors. We have to determine where we want to build our home, which will determine where the septic system, water well, and garage/shop will go.
We hope you enjoy the video & are all healthy & safe!!!

i'm very jelly of your guys!!! Congrats!!
Don't be jelly...you can do it too 😉 Thank you!
I’m stuck here in LA!!
@@YouMeandtheFencePost I’d have to Divorce my wife lol
@@YouMeandtheFencePost Hey Guys, just watched your last trip to Monoche of the 395, could you please send me the way to get there? thanks
Welcome to Idaho
Thank you
Oh wow
😁
yeah
Looks like heaven on Earth.
Liked your video. I was in a similar situation there only 30 years ago. My wife, me, and our 17-year old daughter. A rough 30 years but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Congratulations, I look forward to other videos.
Congrats! I've been to the courthouse where you got your plates because I got mine there, also but several years ago. The first letter is a giveaway as to where you are. You picked one of the best counties to live in Maybe I'll meet you someday.
Just found your channel. We are living a parallel life it seems. We're building our dream hobby farm in Walla Walla on 20 acres. Also escaping CA when our last kid graduates HS. Our pole barn is almost done and the house is under construction. It's so exciting. Thanks for sharing your story!
I left California in '54, lived 25 years on an island in Puget Sound, and finally moved to Idaho's central panhandle. I've been doing this life here for 30 years. I'm 78.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Be sure to ask a resident of a few years what went on in your county in the early 90's. I remember writing back to friends in Washington saying, "This is like living in the old west."
Welcome looks don't know what part of the state you are in but in Idaho falls we are literally 20 minutes from sand dunes,motorbike riding, camping, floating, and 1 hour to Jackson WY. Come over and experience this side of the state when you get a chance it's amazing as well!
There are so many beautiful spots that we want to explore. Your area sounds amazing!
And it begins!! Congrats
Thank you!
Looking great,
I clicked on the video just because it said "Idaho" and glad I watched until you were coming out of the ID County courthouse and immediately subscribed. I went to HS in Grangeville and love seeing anything filmed around my old home town (my Dad still lives there). Once you get established a little (by next summer I hope) you should do the ID BDR. It runs from the NV border to the Canadian border and will pass very close to your new property. Congratulations on your new property. I'm in TX now but my heart will always be in N Central ID.
Your hometown is such a beautiful place. We love it here. We do plan on doing a lot of exploring once things start to come together. Thanks for the recommendation :)
Nice property and introduction!
Thank you!
Awesome! Great job Tish!
Thank you!! 😊
I thought you would survey PL before putting up fence? Sorry I have too many curiosities and questions. Jesse
Welcome to Idaho, neighbors!
Howdy neighbor! Thank you
Good luck. Best wishes and happy trails .
Thank you 🙂
Aswome moving
hell yes!! looking forward to this! this is me and my wife's dream also. We will be out of CA after our youngest is done with school! congratulations!!
Welcome to Idahome! Made the move here a few years ago from Washington, and never looked back!
Awesome! Thanks for the sub
I love love love! Gorgeous scenery. I can't wait to watch more videos.
Thank you ☺️
Has Sierra been there yet ?
Love your new channel. Looking forward to more!
Points on your tarping job.
Thanks, we knew we were going to hit rain on the drive up north. It also added a little security with the lids on those cardboard boxes.
Awesome… congrats you two!!!
Funny I got my Utah plates pretty quick as well…haha
CONGRATS ON THE NEW HOMESTEAD. IDAHO COUNTY IS A PRIME LOCATION. ROLLING HILLS TO TIMBER.
Thank you. That is what we fell in love with.
That's an amazingly gorgeous slice of heaven you got there! Loved when you said "we have time". I applaud you have taken time to slow down and enjoy our beautiful country.
Thank you Jessica! 😊 We look forward to a slower pace
It would have taken you guys three months just to get the permits for that septic tank in Santa Cruz county Ca....Wishing you guys all the best on your new start!
I’m so happy for you both
Thank you!
I would love to be able to do this with my wife once our daughter leaves home. Truly awesome and watching your videos bring warmth to my heart. We’re also Californians that have been exploring 395 thanks to you two. I’ll be waiting for your videos anxiously.
Thank you for the kind words. Happy to hear that you've explored the 395
Congratulations and good luck with your new adventure, is Marco going to follow up to Idaho ? Have fun?
Cool! Congratulations to the both of you! Definitely subscribed! 🤙🏼
Yall go check out smokey bar , its in idaho
I wasn't in Boise three week before I replaced the Calif plates and DL with Idaho plates. LOL
So happy for you all. i may need to contact you guy when i ready to buy some property in Idaho
Thank you for the comment
What a cool adventure, looks like you are having a blast.
So friggen awesome!! Congrats guys! Next Wounded Warrior event in Idaho!!
Thank you! We appreciate the support.
We'll have to wait and see about the next event.
Great narration mama goose! I'm sure you will have great success with this channel. Best wishes..
Thank you so much!
You've raised a wonderful family; and with your three girls onward, running, grown-up, and successful it's time to sit back and smell the roses. In your case, 15 acres of beautiful land in the middle of the great majestic state of Idaho. Stay safe, be safe on chapter two of life's journey.
Believe me when I say, California WILL miss you guys..
Awe...thank you!
Mama goose you did a great job on your 1st video. Looking forward to your Videos on building your dream home. Looks like a beautiful place to live.
Thank you so much! More videos to come as we get closer to the final move
Very nice property! Will you be filming the pole barn build?
Get rid of your California plates lol. Congrats guys.
New sub today. It's a pretty place. The only thing I would suggest is on the well, most people just put in a electric pump But I would also put in a good hand pump to. If power goes down you still need a way to get water. I remember when my grandma finally got a hand pump installed in her kitchen but the main well - bucket still worked. She never had a electric pump but a Uncle did. Actually he had to have two pumps because the well was so far from the house and had to run up two valleys. Several summers he'd have major problems getting water to his house and would have to buy cases of bottled water but if he had, had a hand pump even just one outside he wouldn't have had times going without water. Just a opinion.
Thank you for the recommendation. We will definitely have both
In my limited knowledge I thought you need a perculation test before placing a septic. Also earlier you said still locating house so how do you know where to place septic? Maybe some flexibility in placement and piping from house.
Sorry I enjoy this stuff and want to do similar so trying to learn more!
Thanks!
Oh so maybe it is a pre dig to check percolation of soil.
Curious and if you want to share cost of well and septic? I was looking out in Landers for a 400’ well it is around $50k… i am guessing no where near that depth or cost where you are.
Congratulations on the move to Idaho. I'm in Rexburg . Google says 9 hrs from you. Such a great state to adventure in . Utv exploring is huge here. Good luck
I have a daughter living in Rexburg. For the poster here, he has basically 4 routes to Rexburg--Lolo Pass to Salmon to Rexburg, Lolo Pass to Missoula to Dillon to Rexburg. Boise to Arco to Rexburg and Boise on the interstate to Rexburg. Some ways are shorter but Montana route is fast.
Looks like mama goose can teach Mr. 395 a little about video content and editing. Great job mama goose. Don’t be afraid to share your tricks on how you do such a great job filming and editing with Mr. 395
Thank you! Daniel taught me all I know
Congrats and welcome to Idaho! Been following you on 395 Junky. Look forward to seeing the build.
Thank you! Appreciate the sub
Congratulations and the best of luck with your new journey! What happened to Sierra?! 🥺
I've been a sub on your 395Junky channel for quite a while and now seeing you move towards what I am assuming your retirement location, I am excited to watch you build, document and share the experience. I hope to retire in the next 5-9 years and relocate to Montana or Idaho from our current Oregon home.
My wife and I have been kicking around what our retirement home would be like, and strongly leaning towards a barndaminium style setup on several acres. I am a tinkerer, fabricator, and automotive junky that craves a roomy work space for all my tools and gear. She wants a sustainable garden, small army of goats, and chickens and a more importantly a comfortable place to relax inside and out.
Obviously by running into your other channel we are into overland travel, camping, and other outdoor activities. Montana, and Idaho are both really great states to continue our adventures in.
Maybe some day we'll end up neighbors or cross paths on the trail?
Cheers!
Thank you so much for the support! Sounds like we are on the same page as far as what we want for our forever home. I'm mostly looking forward to having goats...I just love them.
Congrats, living the dream! What size house you going to build?
Thank you. We haven't decided on the house size
Hey how do you get Idaho plates with a physical address, it does a PO Box work? What did you do?
I head momma say PO Box later in vid, guess that answers my question. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your story, and congrats on the big leap! Tough to make that decision especially being established in so cal with jobs, family and friends.
I’m so jealous!!! You guys are blessed!!! Everything is going to work out great for you two 🙏🏼
Awesome ya’all!! Yes the “witching sticks” work! I am an Electrician, since 1986, if you need any free knowledge just let me know how I can help.
It was very interesting to watch the process! We'll keep your name handy for future electrician needs. Thank you!
Those people may not be in rush as you would hope. Be prepared to have a lot of patience, I guess.
We aren't in a rush either...looking forward to the slower pace
@@YouMeandtheFencePost cool. I believe you will get there eventually.
Congrats! We are looking forward to watching your new adventure! 🤗
Thank you so much for the support
Happy for you guys! And good luck on this adventure.. Waiting for the next vid. ;)
Thanks for the sub!
Idaho is such an awesome place. Congratulations I look forward to this new adventure.
greetings; i was wondering if the lady is native american?
So cool! Looks like you’ve made great progress in a short amount of time.
Yes, we had to get this work done while we were there so we're ready to go when the ground dries up a bit more
That is one cool property! That area of Idaho looks amazing and I am sure you guys will be very happy there. Looking forward to future videos of your adventures building your dream home!
We're very excited! We'll have to have you up sometime.
LOVE what you guys are doing! Great move out of Cali. Did it myself, landed in Utah.
Great video guys. So jealous of that beautiful piece of property you got. Not in a bad way in a dang that’s awesome kind of way!! Can’t wait to follow along with the build.
Thanks for your support and the sub.
So awesome to hear your backstory at the beginning. All the best on the new adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the sub
Beautiful property! You got a lot done in one week. Look forward to following along on your journey.
Thanks so much!
You guys are awesome,
You're doing what allot of us think of some day doing.
Love it, keep doing what you're doing.
👍🤙✌ 🛻
Congratulations on the new property in Idaho, and following your dreams. I'm a new follower to your vlog. Hubby and I love the Idaho area. We live in Oklahoma, hubby still works as a federal employee. He's not ready to retire. We moved to Oklahoma for his job, and decided to make the jump and purchase property. We purchased 20 acres in Oklahoma and just love living in the country.
I also follow another vlog in Idaho called Good Simple Living. They did what your doing with the apartment inside a pole barn, and building a home. They're following their dreams, and raising 4 children. If your not familiar with them, you may want to check their vlog out. I'm sure they would be more than happy to offer information or resources on home building in Idaho.
Buena suerte guys.....this is very inspiring hoping to do something like that in the near future 👍💯
Thank you for your support! We appreciate it.
That’s so awesome, congratulations to you all! Can’t wait to see this adventure of yours.
We appreciate your support!
Can you share with me who you purchased from our what Realtor you used? We are trying to find exactly this type of land, no matter what state (must be a free state), for a good price, but are not having luck.
We didn't use a realtor. Daniel found this piece of property. You can DM him on Instagram to get some info. @395jnky
Momma Goose has a name?!? Check out the Ambition Strikes channel. Young couple with crazy skills (including off-road vehicles) who are finishing up building their Idaho “barndominium“.
LOL...yes! We'll check them out
Is there a creek, stream, pond (or potential for one)?
There is a pond bordering us on our neighbors land and a small creek in another area.
Hey guys, what a awesome journey this will be for you, congratulations again always wishing the best ❤️ as always be safe
Thank you. We are looking forward to it.
Congratulations on the new property and the new adventure just so you know from experience if you really want to test your marriage build a house together LOL good luck love the new channel!
Thanks for your support
why would the first thing you do is put up a fence ??? you aren't in Cali anymore Toto !!!
One of the problems we ran into, in Idaho was that the homeowner has to fence out wandering livestock. Open range laws.
Good for you guys. The rat race is overrated. Timmy C Arizona
Not a fan of the rat race 😉
Daniel, get a mobile phone with a 208 or 986 area code. Everyone here is really nice but seem to put aside messages if you're using an out of state phone number. (you may have already experienced that when calling your well driller and septic companies).
Mike
Yes, we have a 208 number and love how nice and friendly people are there.
Latisha, Momma Goose for short...
LOL
Californians…
Idaho is saturated with TH-camrs from California. It's ruined the state. Stay in Cali
