My kitten so enjoyed Timmy showing off his jumping skills - he followed all Timmy's movements and then put out his paw to try and catch him on the screen. So sweet and funny! Good luck on the new build!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

🤣🤣 how sweet ! ❤️

[@vickiwalker3486]

I loved your outro and story about Sarah’s encounter with the baby boar! Your love of animals is wonderful!!

[@sueg2658]

For the earth shelter, outside and inside finishing, make a cob mixture of soil, hay, water and if you have access to horse manure add that too. Mix in batches and apply by hand.

[@libbylong9059]

This video has a very uplifting and joyful vibe! I love the piggies! ❤️

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

So happy to hear this ❤️❤️❤️

[@susanlauchlan3539]

Mollie is a biscuitarian and needs biscuits to survive!! 😄 You two are such great examples of being willing to do the hard work of surviving off-grid, as well as using the materials of the land to create needed structures! Well done! It is also such a joy to watch the antics of Molly and Timmy...so adorable!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I was wondering if anyone would have noticed that bit 🤣🤣 she just loves biscuits x x as does every dog and human I know . This build is a great first experience at least it is small enough to not be too overwhelming

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Timmy so cute with his antics. Love how Luke comes up with great ideas to use as many materials on your land to build. Super idea about the pig House, I'm sure it will look amazing. Sarah your such a grafter guess that's why all the hard work you both put in pays off. 💚

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you 🤗 x x it is a lot of hard work but a lot of fun too x

[@leannekudahl2432]

I am sure that this is the first time that I remember you working together fully to achieve something on your land. xx

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

No Goats..more time😁

[@cathybrewer8958]

Like the idea of an earth bag house for the pigs. You both work so hard at anything you do. The trenches are looking perfect for the bags. You had a lot of wood to gather and take to the caravan, you will need more. Not so sure of a wild bore breeding to your pigs. Don't know what you will have. But it will depend of the use of the piglets for buyers. Cute story about the pigs.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Cathy x x

[@markcallaghan843]

They are some serious footings for a pig house! When the world ends there will just be cockroaches and your pig house left!! Once they are compacted properly the bags won’t shrink. The successful builds I’ve seen have used cob as a base layer and some sort of lime mix as finish coat. I’m sure whatever you do the pigs will be happy.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Cob is not an option this time but Luke has great plans 😉

[@markcallaghan843]

@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife whatever the plan, I look forward to seeing it!

[@maureenmcclymont5940]

Excited to see how the earth bag project will come along! Tiny Shiny Home utube would be a great resource for you if you haven't found them. They are building their entire homestead in the Arizona desert from earthbags.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Just watched their workshop .. they're great! The guys from "my little homestead" even made a appearance at the end.

If you want to see someone build earth bag buildings you should take a look at Kris Harbour Natural Building KZbin channel as he built two huge ones, mostly by hand, if you haven't looked at that already. (In Wales, so presumably waterproof!) Isn't the soil proof fabric meant to be wrapped around the perforated drainage pipe when you build a French drain, to keep all the earth and dust out from everywhere, including stuff being carried by the water? Or something! Anyway, what back breaking hard work. I hope the pigs like it! 😁

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Luke does watch Kris . Thanks

[@meglange3595]

Nice on the piggie house. Hope it works out well and goes smoothly. In all my years, and being around many, many cats, I have never seen another one quite like Timmie. He is quite special 🥰. Have a great week!! ☃️🌲♥️🌲☃️

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks Meg you made my day. I think he is special too x x

[@tinanieborg787]

good teamwork guys, love to see how these piggies enjoy there lifes, walking around and having there own spa, and soon they have there own villa, love it. greetings from Holland again

Goodluck on the earth build. It will be really good for insulation for pigs bothe summer and winter.. I love the dance you did while shaking the jars. .you are a real natural entertainer as is Luke.... 32:28

Hard work for sure deciding on an earthbag house for our girls but such a great learning experience already and we are just at the beginning 😀 Happy you enjoyed the dance x x

Adorei o vidio meus amigos Sara e Luk vocês sao adoraveis. Sao tao bons para os seus animais agora até vao fazer uma casinha para os porquinhos parece a história dos 3 porquinhos de Walt Disney que eu adoro e estou sempre a ver no youtub.

[@carolemattina9869]

What a video full of fun 😄 Timmy with his ninja training 🤪 Molly as an work inspector 😅 and Sarah riding I think Maggie to get her out of the way😂😂😂 and the best part.... Luke admitting that women also have a good eye for building stuff 🤪 it was probably to dark to see... but are you sure it was a male boar ? Do you think they connected a while ago, when she went wondering? So maybe you gonna have baby's before you know it 😅 take care guys ❤

2 bedroom house might be in order. So new moms have separate rooms. Also remember piglets can get through the fence as it is right now.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes it is going to be two rooms

[@NoeleenGrima]

Amazing work ❤❤❤

[@nancibishof6462]

Unless you want boar piglets, you might need to get a male kunikuni pig to ensure you get the temperment and behaviors of a kunikuni pig in your piglets.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes we will be getting a kune kune boar as soon as the place is ready

Don't forget to include "farrowing bars" near the base of the pig house in case one of those two ladies is pregnant; the bars will protect any youngsters.

See you tubers TINY SHINY HOME: recent episodes include workshops building a tiny house with earth bags. One that keeps inhabitants sheltered from all sorts of weather.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

We are watching them now x x thanks Vicki

[@LindaBrandtArt]

Thank you for sharing your experience and story How is your neighbour doing this winter Did she get anything grown during the summer

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

She is good but had to go see family in summer so her garden did not thrive this year

[@scummins2922]

I worked many years ago in a geotechnical laboratory where determining clay content was one of many different tests that we did on soil. Looking forward to your explanation.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

So interesting. It is taking so much longer than expected for the water to become clear but we can already see which one has the highest clay content ,hopefully we will let you know I next weeks video

[@scummins2922]

@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife Yes. Because they are small flat particles, they can take a long time to settle, especially if you have a high concentration of dissolved organics in your water, which you may have.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I thought you were meant to get 3 piglets from Cindy? Have you thought about always taking a wheelbarrow with you on your daily walk, it could hold your backpack when leaving and bring it back once a day full of wood or bits would have your wood shed full all year.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes we will be getting another one from Cindy.

[@sueg2658]

For earth bag building check out Our Self Relient Life on YT look at their old videos. Also My Little Homestead. They both built continue to build earthbag buildings. So maybe they can give you some good ideas to use what you have. Well except for buying the plastic bags. I’m sure the girls will be happy with what you create. Beat wishes.

Why not use the stones to build the bottom half of the pig house?

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Because that is not how you build with earthbags

[@charlenequinilty7252]

Yes but rather than earth bags I was wondering if you could have use stones to build the bottom of the pig house and maybe wood for the remainder? Just a thought.

[@eunicehenderson9095]

Be careful around wild boars. One sow with piglets killed a visiting nurse/caretaker arriving before daylight at a house outside of a city not far from me. They are dangerous.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes we have many many boars on our land so we are used to them just never saw one so close to our girls
