    How did we end up here?
    It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward.

    Admittedly, we were bit nervous to click publish on this video. It's felt really uncomfortable keeping this from you all for nearly a year...when we set out on this journey, we promised ourselves to ALWAYS keep it real. The good, the bad, and the ugly...I hate that legal issues have prevented us for being fully transparent with you all. Thank you again for understanding some of the decisions we've made in the last year that might not have made complete sense and still being here rooting for us, it means more than you know. P.S. Who thinks we should crack a bottle of Todd's homemade wine when we spill the full tea on this situation?! 😂

    Dumpy is like the best papa ever, such a lovely guy. I’d also like to say that I’m just happy to watch the content you put out each week. I have no expectations of what you ‘should’ be doing, I truly just love watching your videos. It’s also important that there is someone showing the true realities of home building and dealing with contractors & not a sanitised TH-cam version. I’ll be here no matter what (& I think a lot of your viewers feel the same), so please stop adding to your stress about this. We’ve got your backs!

    Guys, I used to work in the construction industry. Sadly between the convoluted building codes (intertwining of city/state/province/ township/village, etc.) and the complexity of how buildings must be built in order to pass inspections, the end result is that the owner of the building is often left in the dark on so many of the incredibly important details. Knowing what I know, it was hard to watch you guys beat yourselves up over the mistakes and failures that were visited upon you and your project. You guys are the essence of kindness, goodness and sense of fair play that I think you expect to see in others and unfortunately isn't always there. I'm so glad that you found Dumpy and even though we all can't be there in person to support you, you know that we do. Hugs, Jules ❤

      My father was an ethical and professional builder. When I was a kid my parents decided to have a pool built. The pool business and the labor did not match up. Careless company. The men hired to build the pool were not qualified or were shoddy workers. Australian codes are quite clear. Simple things like the curve of the walls, off centre underwater lighting and dreadful sloping tiling. Once my father stepped in and stayed on site, things changed dramatically. Pool company had to make good and the men doing the job had some clear training that benefitted them. It was obvious they were constructing to a lower standard. Just atrocious the stairs were that uneven. Let alone the missing tower strengthening left to fail. Again in Australia we had a solar panel national drive by the government. Non industry businesses popped up everywhere. Dodgy ones hired 'boys', teenagers. These kids had no idea. Some fell from heights and died. Work delivered was sub standard. Be vigilant.

What I do know is that you're both very precious to all of us, and for that, we fully understand the need for disclosure, only when it's safe to share with us - if ever.
    The only thing that we need to know is that you're all ok - and that things progress and that you have decent people looking after your interests, and in all of that issue's heartsoreness, you're still able to find the sweet spots in each day, and still able to smile, and you're still " ours " .

    Glad to hear you are getting legal assistance. Being a paralegal, I have “ bitten my tongue” about this issue because I did not have all the facts and didn’t know if a lawsuit/getting legal assistance was the way to go.
    Having said that, I am in business for myself (not construction). I have made mistakes over the years. One of my senior clients told me that we are human and we going to make mistakes. The true mark of who we are is how we acknowledge the error and make amends to fix/correct the error and make the client whole. I have always tried to live up to that.
    It appears that you have given this business the chance to make amends and it seems inclined not to take care of the error. As such, you need to do what you need to do.

    I have been watching since you were in that RV from tbe 90's, long before the pandemic. I bought a cabin on a ton of acres with my sister and her husband... partially because you inspired me. I am sitting there now, watching nature, with my little dog in my lap. Thank you for giving a realistic look into the trials and tribulations of owning rural land while showing that it could be rewarding. My little dog sends Charlie and Eddie love.

    I feel like the full tea spill on whatever mess you're referring to will be worthy of 2 bottles of wine. Love you guys, hang in there. You know your subs care about you and your well being--that's the important thing, not whether or not you put a full microscope on your lives. We are not entitled to know EVEY SINGLE DETAIL of what's going on behind the scenes. Don't apologize for not being able to spill all immediately when sh*t happens. You guys are real people with real lives and are entitled to keep some things close to the vest, especially once the lawyers are involved. Give the furry kids a snoot boop from Minnesota!

    I always admire your kindness, good grace and philosophical outlook when things don't go to plan. But you can't always shrug and absorb the fall-out when someone else's error costs you time, energy and, obviously, a lot of money. Don't apologise to us, or anyone else, for standing up for yourselves and what you know is right. I hope it all goes as smoothly as is possible from here on in.
    Hugs.

    Guys, Don't worry about withholding information from your followers. It's your life and your choice to reveal as you wish. As long as you are only revealing truths about your contractors, and have evidence to support your assertions that may be challenged, you should have no legal problems with a court. (Your videos provide lots of clear evidence of code violations and your receipts for materials should suffice to get some of your additional expenses reimbursed.) Unfortunately, you cannot claim expenses for your own labor, but can claim labor expenses if you have records/receipts/checks/credit card invoices of paying others to perform labor correcting previous mistakes). 🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

      So true and so unfair. At least they get content out of it. But I’m sure they’d have preferred to have been spared such terrible egregious mistakes by their former contractors. It’s been hard watching them having to go through this.

    Guys. With the world as it is, it is big of you to make sure that the other people are safe. We all know how crowds can turn.
    This is hard. And I can only imagine what it feels like on your end. BUT. You are doing great, and being a beacon for honesty, homesteader lives, but also as a gay man, the light you shine is INCALCULABLE. You are showing so many people, so many human, positive things.
    Love from the other side of the country!

    Dumpy is sent from heaven!! I am so happy you are working with an honest contractor who clearly respects you and your vision and is fun to be around too! Also happy you have turned it over to a lawyer (hope they are a good one!) You recognize when you have to let specialists do what they do. Law suits are messy, but sometimes necessary. Just happy to see you both and follow your journey.

As for not being able to tell us everything that’s going on bts and feeling bad/awkward about it, I for one am not offended or feel slighted in the least.

    It's been clear for a while that there was more to the situation that was meeting the eye. Yes mistakes are made that are genuine "mistakes" - they're part of a bit project. BUT as you indicate, when there is criminal negligence from a service provider that SHOULD have had the necessary expertise to recognize when performing their duty that there was something wrong, recourse to the courts is the only way forward to get remedy. You have both always appeared to be honest and the stress was clear to see. I hope and trust a compromise can be achieved that rectifies the wrongs done. Hang in there, it'll be a great project when done. Best of luck.

    When you were first talking about building this house I gave you an advice which I'm now going to repeat for your viewers who end up reading: get an architect. Thinking, designing and managing all these messy parts is something people study for and will eventually save money and a whole lot of stress

The main thing we all want is for you to find a resolution that doesn’t make you out of pocket once it is resolved. Fingers toes and eyes crossed for you both. Btw - we all need Dumpy’s number when you’re finished with him! Does he do foreign travel? 😅😉😍

    I'm almost an OG, kind of. I started watching after your podcast interview with Eamon & Bec, and there were few enough episodes I was able to watch them all in a few weeks, and I've never missed one since. I know nothing about construction, so I didn't know anything was wrong until you explained it. I hope things go much better for you from here.

    There are times when being a nice guy has to stop. Being taken advantage of has to stop.
    We love you guys, for me, it's because you are so nice.
    But taking advantage of someones niceness is wrong! Take those steps.
    You 2 might be able to afford the costs of repairing and replacing. But what about those that cant. Now they are stuck. Line in the sand with you guys, might save those next folks.
    So youre doing a good thing.
    Sending love and positive vibes to the entire family.
