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, bees, 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/... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

It’s so great that Clay understands and can do all of these things! Also it’s nice that Micah is willing and able to help out. Three people doing the work seems like a good number!

[@SharonMcCamy61]

I am enjoying watching your farmstead come together--seeing the shed that looks like a barn in the background--the plantings and everything there--all seems so well thought out and not just designed for practicality but also with attention to aesthetics. Thank you for sharing the journey.

[@davidcox3076]

Congrats on getting the foundation walls poured. Can't wait to see the rest of the project.

[@joannabowers1358]

Thanks for showing the actual concrete flowing into the forms. As many of these pours I’ve watched on KZbin, this is the first where I was able to see how it actually looks. It’s pretty cool.

[@carolluther1625]

Thanks Ariel,& Clay. Very interesting process to watch. Enjoying your progress to your home!

[@margaretpollard2179]

👍

[@marianfrances4959]

The mountains are looking particularly beautiful today! Awesome to have the cellar walls up.👍😎🇨🇦🪷

[@carolynmoody9460]

❤❤❤🕊️

[@joannewolfe5688]

Wow, exciting to see actual walls happening! Clay does such incredible and precise work. It's going to be a lovely home!

[@kurtblaser9421]

Thanks for the frequent updates even if just a short video. Very interested in following your progress. Looks like Clay is a perfectionist!

[@jons5898]

Great team work ! Compliments to Clay on his stylish outfit 👍

[@junewrogg6137]

Exciting!

[@Reichenbachm]

I’m so loving the series of your home being built, thanks for sharing.

[@d14551]

Wow, I love getting to see all these details of construction, thanks!

[@LoriSkees]

I remember watching an episode of “This Old House” many years ago when that foam form system was brand new. I am enjoying watching your progress!

[@katherinekelly5380]

Me too! It still seems so innovative yet it’s been around, and tested in a variety of environments, for awhile

[@helenhall3705]

TOH- oh the memories,

[@femalecrusader8389]

Nice, I like how you are using foam wall build. 🙂

[@positivelyhappy.9876]

I am impressed and amazed❤I bet you are exhausted

[@cherylcreasey4813]

I love this.I know that you guys are excited,I am excited for you. Looking forward to seeing more content. God Bless 😊

[@FaveWasteOfTime]

so very fascinating. I had never heard of doing concrete like this before.

[@pamelahansen5928]

Kinda like canning 🤣😂🤣getting out those bubbles- soon the walls will go up and you will have a new home♥️

[@tesselaynes5428]

awesome. Thanks for taking the time to let us see the progress

[@annalinekennedy1027]

Interesting and satisfying

[@divinewrath3142]

So exciting! Can't wait to watch it all take shape.

[@raindrops_falling]

I wanted to see this part. All the work required is so incredible!

[@shirleygardner5483]

Really enjoy watching ya'll build your house. I built a 1080 sq ft 40yrs ago as a single mom. Have never wanted a big house. Can not understand the waste, Huband, grandson and I still live in the home.

[@carolluther1625]

Amen to that. Never wanted a huge house either. Besides being more to clean, cool or heat. It is a waste.

[@brianquinn5060]

So great to watch, and so far you have come in such a short time. Clay the master builder.

[@flybfree]

You guys are so inspiring. Lovely and beautiful to see it come together. God bless this new home.

[@stellaunger8568]

Wonderful video - thanks

[@sheilabundren2037]

We have tons of houses built here and I've never seen or heard of this Styrofoam system. Very interesting. Thanks again for sharing.

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

Very useful walkway around the parameter of the house as you pour concrete. The net effect is that only three people are needed to manage the concrete pour. If you're lucky this winter, the snow will be light and the temperatures higher than average. Fingers crossed.

[@richardgivens2422]

Looking great!

[@dawnbaker9274]

I enjoy the boring things are interesting. So keep on keeping on. 😊

[@chrismoore9686]

This is so exciting! I love watching these videos and they have only increased my awe of Clay's knowledge and capabilities. Amazing.

[@janenewley1014]

Great news…and today our concrete screed was laid on our ground floor😀😀

[@BettyBrancato]

I'm so excited for you, and love watching your progress! Thanks for the frequent posts.

[@zzydny]

Progress is looking great! All of those small painstaking steps really are adding up to something wonderful.

[@briancook4065]

Lego walls love it

[@hanna7644]

[@tahoesnowlion]

Very interesting. Thank you for showing us.❤

[@alycegallant5406]

Thank you. So nice to see you progressing! Keep up the great work, you guys work so smoothly together ,well done!

[@oldpete3153]

You're fortunate to have flat level ground with adequate room to do that without a pump truck.

[@glenysperry3421]

Yes! Interesting for sure. Prep work must have been something else, but well worth it.

[@velvetreynolds5458]

Great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌

[@northstarprepsteader]

So exciting for you!!

[@janeth3139]

Neat

[@m_r---123]

Thank you for the update.

[@PrimeDirective101]

Just great

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

Love it ❤

[@cricketmcclure3458]

Fascinating!!! Thanx for this post! Best wishes to you on this project, and future finish! :>)

[@potpourrioflife]

Very cool and looking great!! I appreciate you sharing, in the event we ever need to build a bldg ourselves some day.

[@margiemurray2147]

Wow look at your home coming together.! What a blessing! What and will you be showing what you're going to do in case water gets into the root cellar? Curious if you were going to do something similar to what "Off-Grid with Doug and Stacy" did in their Root Cellar. Are there any other options you considered? They also used the foam board. Seems like this might be a really good product to use. Will you shate how much it cost for just the Rootcellar and how much you saved by doing 90% of the work yourselves. I know it's a lot of work but so gratifying to build your own home. Just like growing your own food. You know exactly what happened during the growing process. Glad your brother could lend a hand. Looking forward to the next phase. The Nanas from Central Florida growing in buckets

[@denisejones1863]

Are you going to leave the living area you made in your pole barn? Or will you use those cabinets etc. in your house? Not sure you said home many sq. feet this house will be. We retired into 1600 sq. feet with same size basement. It is plenty big.

[@tamarakittelson]

Do you expect to be in the house by winter?

[@beckypincalifornia1985]

Not hoping for the following scenario ... but curious. Going to snow soon in Wyoming. What happens if your cellar fills up with snow before your cellar is covered? Gonna make us wait? Smile and best wishes!

[@tolowreading6807]

Very interesting! Just wondering, are cellars common in Wyoming? I've lived in CA. and OR the majority of my life, with brief forays in WA, NM, WY, NE, and TX . The only place we had a cellar was in WA. If I could build a dream house it for sure would have a cellar!

[@arjones0819]

How many days did this part take?

[@jimparlett4099]

Just be very aware that all foam materials (polystyrene, spray insulation, whatever) give off extremely toxic fumes in a fire. If you have foam in your house and you have a fire, you have only the time you can hold your breath to get out. Just be prepared, have a fire action plan, don't stay to collect valuables, just get out before the foam starts giving off those poisonous fumes.

[@athenak6185]

Looks like house will be ready for Thanksgivings.

[@dominiquebt]

Not that I know anything about building timelines, but this seems to be going quickly (and extremely well ☺️). Do you have a target move-in date?? Thanks for sharing all of this. Very interesting!

[@bsod5608]

Not so tiny living anymore... 😂

[@GIRLGOTLEGGS]

I’m so excited for your build. Nice progress!
