I love it. You gave a bunch of real, hard truths like the mold and the boring beetle and the mosquito net and the pony wall on your A-frame how all those things are necessary. Real down to earth advice. Nice video

[@chrisalameda5427]

I know this man!!! I slept there, took a shit there, ate there!! Really comfort!!! Amazing job brother Dollwet!!! The lord sends his great armies to protect you during winter!!!

When we going fishing?! Need to do a diving episode!

[@user-gi9ft8lb5y]

Tip on water in Puna. I live in Nanawale. There are government maintained wells and faucets (big and small in every developed area. It still needs to be filtered and treated to drink. It is also free. if toy have access to a pick up or bigger and can invest in food quality plastic cubes (about 4x4x4 and $425 new) with a metal cage for strength then get one or two. Fill one and transfer the water to another at your house or leave it in the truck or rope and pully to get it out. All this a back up to a few days of no rain. If you have a garden or flush toilet get a cheap non-potable water bin to store water for those.

[@theresewheeler1498]

Love ❤️ your video. You really taking time to explain each trees, so awesome . So many fruits on your property. What’s the cost of the land and how many acres

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

Thank you! More to come! If there’s any specific questions you have or video ideas let me know (: I have 3 acres here

[@sashanealand8315]

cool! I also have clear roof on my little cabin in Mt View Hawaii. I built mine out of cedar fence wood.and guava wood looks a bit similar to yours.

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

Awesome!

[@ju.555]

is your build permitted? im wondering how many people get away without building with a permit. permits are too expensive and what not

[@marcielynn4886]

23 years for me on the big island.

[@The808mama]

Nope. Born and raised in Hawaii, you need to fill in those cracks in between the boards on your walls, and put in windows and screens. Otherwise, you'll have roaches and centipedes getting into everything, including your bed. Trust me, you don't want that! Also, if you smell mold or mildew, ffs, do something about it pronto, or it will worsen so incredibly fast, your head will spin! Honestly, I couldn't finish watching this video. I've seen so many people come, fail, and go. When all they had to do was ask. Locals, like me, are willing to help! But only a few listen.

[@PA96704]

Nice stainless sink.

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

It’s hard to come by, but lasts for ever

Aloha I’m on B.I too. I’m interested in trading the building bamboo. I have many plants I can trade. Let me know.

Nice

Looks like Fern Forest. I USED TO live on Kaleponi & Lower Middle Road, right on the corner, 2011-19

Can’t tell you which neighborhood we are in, but thanks for watching!

日本語版もよろしくね！

[@Island-Hermit]

You should do a video on how you make a living off grid

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

Okay, thanks!

[@wMerlinw]

I would strongly advise against using clear plastic roofing. I bet that house is a literal sauna on a sunny day.

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

I can say by my personal experience that with good ventilation, which this house has, clear plastic roofing is a good idea if you don’t want to grow mold in your house. Tinted roofing is okay too. What is your experience like working with plastic roofing?

[@wMerlinw]

@@Offgrid_Neighbors808 I can understand that logic. I think keeping things open works best, regardless of roofing material choice. Lots of people get mold because of bad airflow. I just like to read sometimes during the day and or take a nap. Maybe you have a separate area for those things, I don't know. I think people would realize their blunder when they can't use those spaces during the day.

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

@@wMerlinw Yes totally. I have 3 structures. And only this one is clear roofing. But all have good airflow. Airflow is absolute key

[@donneone]

Very nice house and property you have. I especially like the clear roof. How did it fair in the recent strong hurricanes? Any damage to your structures? I saw many other homes in the video. Are they your cabins and tents? Do you rent them out? Welcome to KZbin! I'm excited to see future videos with your garden in full production.

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

The plastic panels holds up really good in high winds if you have them screwed down good! So my buddy lives in the front and I live in the back, we don’t rent any of our structures out

[@donneone]

@@Offgrid_Neighbors808 Thanks for responding. Good to know they hold up well in storms.

[@berklia]

Impressive! Beatiful homestead & phenomenal structures you've built. what is the average temp at your elevation?

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

Oh thanks so much! I think I’m at around 2000ft to 2200ft range

[@vuaeco]

This is awesome man! It looks like you're in the Fern Forest area on the Big Island?

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

Thanks! Can’t tell you my location, but thanks for watching!

[@dianne.murielrobidoux9008]

Love the infos but watch the soundtrack. Good luck

[@vichupayyan]

How about the land? you bought/renting it?

[@ziggybender9125]

Yikes. I just came from your catch and cook video. Seems like you're on a different Island but I can confirm on Kauai the Planning Department has employees who's jobs are browsing social media, craigslist, you name it to find easily confirmed building permit violations on farms and co-living properties. I would suggest not advertising the lifestyle on youtube and focus your channel on other aspects of your life.

[@craftypaws22]

hi great video how did you slab up the wood? thanks

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

I bought the slabs of wood from a guy on Craigslist

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

Thanks for watching!

@@ju.555 That’s a whole another chapter of conversation. But basically, spend less than you earn. And be patient and invest at the right time

[@evinwhiteson4902]

You made youreself a green house, with that clear plastic roof.no wonder its hot and moldy mate. I dont know how you live in that.

[@Offgrid_Neighbors808]

It’s really comfortable because there’s tons of airflow/ventilation. We need natural light to prevent mold. Trust me, I lived in a normal home before with insulation and eve to thing was molding left to right
