We Bought a New Property - Our Plan For the Future

[@hlarsen27]

My son and daughter in law home school their kids in Rexburg Idaho. It's great you home school your kids. Good job for purchasing more property debt free. Congratulations.

How big is the new property?❤

[@wandaking4229]

Congratulations on purchasing more land. So inspired seeing you and your daughter canning. Most young people don't have the desire to learn this. It will make for sustainability in the future. You three got in some outdoor gym time.

[@aarons5594]

My wife and I are 25 with backgrounds in civilian law enforcement and the military. We have been following your family’s journey for about two years now. Please know that your content to include the podcast is so inspiring and relatable to some of us in the younger generations. We currently own a home in a HOA, however, as a result of your videos, we have started saving to hopefully one day purchase land and create a homestead of our own. We absolutely love the weekly videos and the dreams that populate for us from watching. Thank you to you both for the continued content! Cheers from MN!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words. It’s doable! Good luck to you on your journey 🙏🏽.

I’m very happy for y’all!!!! Congrats!!!! It’s always wonderful to see yall succeed!!

[@sandybryan4117]

Would love to see you add rain catchment barrels next to the barn. Lots of square footage there and you’d get so much rain/snow melt to use on the garden, etc. Looks great!! Congrats on expanding the homestead!! ❤️❤️

[@TechnologyChip]

@GoodSimpleLiving Congrats 🥳 You should not only do a pond… Do a NATURAL SWIM POND!!! Look them up. They are amazing. Natural, pure, fish, swimming, water feature and falls, incredible!!! So much cooler than a cement pool! 🤩

with everything happening in the world i pray your little family stays with you guys

[@pamgriffith1937]

Good afternoon my loving Idaho family 🫶!!! Congratulations on your new expanded land!! I have no doubt that your future generations will run through those fields as your children do now!! This week I ask for your sincere prayers for my family. For personal reasons I can’t get into details but my daughter and granddaughter need all the prayers they can get… I’m still not well myself but they need prayers worse than I do. I carry each of you in my heart and ALWAYS in my prayers …I pray by the time we meet next week that their situation is better… until then🙏🏻🙌🏻♥️🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@LoveGrowLiveFree]

Lookin at your horse barn roof, I can't help but think of the prime real estate for rain water. Have you ever considered a rain catchment system? Tractor Supply has a 1500 gal for $1500. Rhough I'd suggest more like 25K gal tank or so. You'll never have to rely on outside agencies ever. Just put a good filter on it because the stuff in the skies will be in it. Sending you tons of love and happiness ❤

[@WingKnutz]

A greenhouse would be good for year round food growth.

[@ddalton692]

I love the; Begining, Middle & End. Of everyone of their videos. Dogs are so lucky to have 4 legs. God saw fit to give me 2. Lost 100% of my right leg September 2009. VA gave me a Canadian Cain 15 years ago. Allows me to maintain my 3 points. It's my Cains, Quincena! Eventualmente, my wheelchair will have Flames & a Joy Stick! 😂 I love how You build things.

Water collection for horses and garden.

[@lorraineswilson7959]

With the Area of your Gutters you should have a Couole of water Tanks to catch all that water & Utilize it for your Horses @ that end of your Property 👌🐎🐎❤❤ Might as well saves on $$ Useing your Own Water Catcher System is a Fantastic Way to Be on Your Own & just another Way to Be Self Relient..

[@corrieshaffer4172]

Amazing opportunity but to get land debt free makes it so much more rewarding. You guys are an inspiration. I love what you have built for your family. Gorgeous property!

Poor puppy! Congrats on the land purchase! Gutters and snow stops make sense. I enjoy watching your path evolve.

[@patriciamiller-schwartz6767]

Are you going to set up a water catch all for the water coming off the roof? This would be a good water source for the garden.

[@SouthernLatitudesFL]

I was thinking the same thing. Even just having water for the horse troughs. Congrats on the new land.

[@samanthatuton6927]

Wow great news on the extra land self reliant is so important to you to be able to live off the land iis great work as always it’s. Great watching your family grow till nxt week much love from Tenerife❤❤❤❤❤❤ 19:09

[@stevebarton9708]

Wow guys! After watching this week’s video. My wife decided to take a walk down memory lane and watch some of the original Idaho videos beginning with Jeremy installing the gate and pouring the foundation for the house. Just seeing your kids back then put a tear in both of our eyes realizing how much they’ve all grown so much. Times flying fast guys! Embrace this time together always. Blessings and love ya guys. Steve and Tina (Ontario Cal)

🥰 We like doing that from time to time as a reminder of just how crazy this journey has been.

[@flyinthebug35]

Congrats on the new property guys! You so deserve it. Livin the dream :) That is what my dad did when I was a kid. We bought a 23-acre Christmas tree farm, and then 4 years later, we bought an additional 61 acres that were attached to the original 23 acres. Dad expanded his Christmas tree farm, and we ended up with almost 85 acres total and a much bigger tree farm (which meant a lot more work for me too lol). You did not say how many new acres you bought? Please let us know, we ALL want to know. It has finally cooled off up here in N. Saskatchewan too, and temps going below 0 for the 1st time this fall tonight. Winter is coming for sure. Poor little Ludo...he handled it like a champ. As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.

[@SunflowerandtheBussLady]

Have you thought of water catchment? Not sure if you have a well or not, but this could help with water for gardens and animals. Just a thought that popped in my crazy brain, do t remember what your process is… Congrats on the new land purchase! Can’t wait to see your new projects! 🥰🙏🏽✌🏽🫶🏽🌻💛

I found your channel when you sold your house and moved. Due to everything going on in the world at that time, I thought they are so lucky to be leaving the rat race. Crazy but lucky, the washing machine outside, the camper in the shop, the tiny house build, all of it. Be proud!!!!

[@karenbeyerlein997]

We burned firewood for 45 years in our ranch home in northern Michigan. The wood stove was in the unfinished basement, directly across from the stairway & the heat would gravity feed up the stairway. We kept 3 dry firewood cords in the basement all the time. It was wonderful to have warm floors all winter long. The issue is that it is very messy & dirty, the firewood bark comes off & makes a mess, spiders, flies, ants etc live in, on, and around the firewood. Personally, I would not store the firewood inside the house. The garage would be a great choice for storage. Where have you stored it in previous winters? What about an outdoor wood burner? It would heat the whole house & there would be no dirt or mess

[@thomasschumacher5362]

New law of gravity at your house?

[@karenbeyerlein997]

@@thomasschumacher5362 - heat rises, there also was a blower on the wood stove.

[@thomasschumacher5362]

[@shadegarden7375]

So, why not start a rainwater storage system from the gutters? Also, French drains outside the barn?

[@kristofinportugal]

I might be ahead of myself, but why not put the down spouts of the gutters on the back of the barn, lead them inside the barn at gutter height, through a debris filter and place a big watertank on each side, or lead both spouts to 1 big tank. It can be used as drinking water for the horses and watering gardens etc. Seems like a lot of water to be catched from that roof. 👍😊

[@LarryRoberts-m1p]

Enjoy watching your series, it goes to show what you can do if you set your mind to it. Don't know if you got it or remember it, but I sent you a letter around six months or so ago, concerning when you all were discussing getting a stand by generator for your property. In the area of Oklahoma where I live we get some severe snow and ice storms that come down off of the Rocky Mountains. Had a pretty bad one of those a few years ago, down went power lines as well as several trees, long story short I was without power for around two weeks, I developed pneumonia from sleeping in my house for over two weeks with no heat. When all of this was over I went in search of a stand by generator. I bought a Generac completely self contained and totally automatic, where by you don't have to hook anything up or plug anything in when it is storming outside, which is not to wise to be doing in bad weather. I have noticed that you have a Home Depot in your area, this is where I was able to obtain mine. It will run off of propane, natural gas etc. I know that you have a propane tank already in place, this could be used to feed the generator, it does not burn that much fuel too. This would need to be installed by a certified electrician which could be done next to your utility building, by the way this generator can be set up to where by it will run itself automatically once a week, for 15 minutes to check itself and there by you can be assured it is ready when you need it. When the power drops off of the pole, it will determine that it needs to kick on all be up and running in 10 to 15 seconds, so you never as they say miss a beat, and when the power comes back on it will automatically shut it self off and be ready for the next time you need it. This would have been nice when the power went off while you all were gone recently , a 200 amp unit will now run some where around 5,000.00 to 6,000.00, but again it is well worth every cent of it. Hope that this information is of interest and value, love your show, God Bless. Larry.
