Hi Tessie. And Good Morning from Sweden!;🇸🇪 Lets hope the snow disappear soon. Me, too, is eager to "put my fingers in the soil" and start the growing Season...It is so satisfying to see Things sprout and grow! And I have a little question for you.... When you talk about the "Garden", do you then mean a Kitchen/Vegetable Garden? This confuse me a little🙂🤗 Because, for me that is a professional Landscape Architect, your whole Property is a "Garden" and not just the area where you grow vegetables and such Things. . Anyway, I love watching your videos and to be Taught about the old days and the way of living then, (I am reslly learning a lot from them)!.So Thank You! 🤗💖🌱🙏🏻🇸🇪

[@Frannieville]

You got a lot wealthier since I first started watching you, but then again I’m a lot wealthier too. I pay for everything cash and when I run out of money wait for when I get more. I live in an old suburb with a 1945 house. Small lot. I love it.

[@HomesteadTessie]

I now work two full time jobs and one part time job wealthier doesn't come naturally it's because of the work that is involved my life has totally changed since 7 years ago

[@timothybrown7779]

I may be going to PA to remodel my parents 1972 Mobile home. Ugggg plumbing, Heating, Roof , New kitchen etc.. Not sure if I will stay there long term or turn around and rent it to have extra income to grow my retirement . But going to be there for 6 months and let God show me what I need to do for my future. Currently paying a lot for a 1 bedroom apartment and I do like the idea of living rent and mortgage free. So praying that God gives me direction. Will be 36 years since I moved away from there so would be a huge change for me. But at 57 I’m really thinking and praying hard at what I need to do since retirement age is 10 years away.

[@brendakerch8910]

In our mid 50's ,I have some major health issues that have prevented me from working well, I was watching your channel and showed my husband how you live. We moved 3 hours away from the city to a small town bought an older mobile home it has a roof over and has been protected from the elements for the most part. We are slowly repairing what needs it and I am starting my garden soon. Thank you for the inspiration to change even when your set in your ways. God Bless

[@marthahealon7947]

My hubby lost his job and we had to sell our home we built. Looked into buying a trailer but they were so expensive. Instead we bought a shed and turned it into our home. I love it. We have 70 acres with my grown daughters and son in laws. We have all built homes on the land. my grandchildren love to explore and play outdoors.

[@wandafaulk3641]

The older mobile homes are built better than the new ones!! Blessings❣️❣️

[@Deva-no3dn]

Like so many other things unfortunately!

[@lovelife7343]

I would take a newer one any day over an older mobile home. The new standards are exponentially better than the old ones. More energy efficient better windows thicker wood and metal construction . Siding and roof material are longer lasting and most importantly the new ones are made with better fire resistant material.

[@debralang9467]

@@lovelife7343 --that's true. Standards have risen so high that many mobile homes are made even better than houses. That's one reason they cost so much more. They have to be able to withstand all sorts of wind levels and snow loads by law now. (I watch all sorts of mobile home sales videos here at YT.)

[@carolyn6290]

Thanks Tessie for your homestead tour. I really enjoyed seeing your gem of a place. It's not what you have but rather what you do with what you have. I am 66 years old and at 65 I downsized to get out of debt. The move was very exhausting and the home was a gut remodel. I have been here 18 months and I have invested wisely in this place. I am setting out fruit bushes and trees this week and am praying for God to bless my plantings. The remodel is very slow...me, myself and I doing the work. But I just pray everyday for energy and strength to get things done. Am putting up a portable green house next week by myself. Trying to start perma gardening this year. It's a lot, but God will help you accomplish more than you ever thought possible. Staying out of debt is God's will for us all. I want to encourage others that he will help you, step out in faith!

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Wow Tessie this was a total throwback! I’ve watched your channel for five years now and have seen the transformation that you’ve done! I’m so happy for y’all! You will absolutely love having a wood stove! We love ours! ❤

[@HomesteadTessie]

Mobile home living is what I founded my channel on and due to a experience on line I was somewhat apprehensive about doing these kind of videos but now I'm back fully there will be many mobile home videos coming on a regular basis

[@GoodThingsEtc]

I’m finding land is so expensive now! Even if I wanted to own a mobile home. A place to park it is half the battle! Don’t forget to add elderberry and blue berries! You’re so blessed to have your own land and so big too!

[@debbydrach]

I wanted to share with you an experience that I have had with keeping deer from eating my plants, I noticed they didn’t bother some of the plants, but did bother others of the same kind, the difference was gravel. So I put gravel around the plants being eaten, and the plants were no longer bothered, I was so surprised! I hope this helps you out too !

[@SherrylJones-bz5wv]

Great idea❣️ 🙏♥️🙏🙌

[@joannetaggart4136]

Your property is wonderful. Truly, the value of your home has greatly increased. You and Ken, sometimes with help from your children, have made it all so nice. I remember when you were all painting your shutters and siding. Scott is funny. Your family are sweet and loving. ❤

[@victoriabecraft6166]

We love our woodstove. Here in southeast Iowa, we can get some pretty cold winters. There is an expense to it though. My husband and I built a woodshed together last summer. It's wonderful! It's 10'x16' and we stack the wood to 1 foot from the rafters. It actually holds 1 1/2 to 2 years of wood. We have a log splitter and chain saws. The trees have been free for the taking. We have had a problem with Ash trees dying here in Iowa. Our home is a 1200 sq ft ranch so the medium sized woodstove does an amazing job of heating the house. March 2022 - March 2023 we only used 270 gallons of propane (our kitchen stove/oven, canning kitchen stove and our water heater also use propane)! We had our 1000-gallon propane tank topped off last March. I just checked our tank, and we are at 60% (still hasn't had any propane added since March of 2023!) We have our wood cut for next year (we always stay one year ahead on our wood, so it is plenty dry). I also keep a cast iron pot full of water on the top of our woodstove. We do not have to run a humidifier then. I also dry our clothes in front of it during the winter. I run a box fan to push the warm air down the hall to the bedrooms. Many meals have been cooked on the woodstove and bread is rising every week in front of it. I want to add an oven to the woodstove next! I grew up with a woodstove, so I know the different woods and how hot they burn. Be sure to buy a temperature gage to sit on the top of the woodstove. That will help keep you from overheating it and causing a chimney fire. Plus, pine creates a lot of creosote so stay away from it. So happy for you, my friend! You're going to love it!! So little house on the prairie!😉

We are retired & I prayed for a place for us....He opened the door for an older RV with 3 slides & a lot to put it on. We paid it all off. We have 2 outbuildings. One is my hubby's tool shed & the other had a rotting floor. It wasn't built correctly, so he had to remove the railroad ties & rebuild the floor & 2 walls. It took 5 years, but he now has his own man cave. I call it Bob's house. Does your hubby have his own mancave?❤❤❤

Thank you Tessie! I spent the evening watching your channel and will be doing the same thing today. I am so grateful you stepped out of your fear and decided to share with us. It means the world to me. I'm so excited to have a new friend that loves the Lord as much as I do and is not afraid to say so. God bless youand your family.❤

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Tessie! I used butterfly bushes and forsythia to make a privacy fence. It attracts birds, bees and I enjoy watching the birds making nests in them. The deer doesn’t bother them either. It takes time to get your property the way you want it. You and Ken have made a beautiful homestead. Have a blessed night everyone!

I just bought me a single wide mobile home that's about 7 years old, well established & in great condition. I mainly paid cash besides a small portion that I'll have paid off within two years. I'm like you being 60 years old, I don't want any debt whatsoever.

[@annacurry225]

Your property is beautiful. I live in a mobile too that is 56 years old also have my own property. You are right the older mobile homes are built a lot better. I'm believing The Lord for a newer mobile home in the future as the roof is shot on my mobile home and we are using a tarpolian to keep the rain out.

[@donnareed7706]

You should be proud of your beautiful home and all of your hard work. It is so picturesque and would sell immediately if you ever wanted to relocate.

Tessie you would be a sweet next door neighbor to have:) God bless you Sister! :)

[@danielleterry2331]

That’s what I did also Tessie, I live in a mobile home on .68 of a acre, my garden is 100 ft x 100 ft I also set my place up like the Robinsons, garden and chickens in back and fruit trees in the front. I raise my meat chickens in a 10’x28’ leanto that I put electrical into the building . I have a garden shed which I want to swap out with a green house for when I will have time to grow my veggie starts instead of buying them . My hubby has a 2 car garage and a man cave . Once I can buy the lot on each side of me I hope to have a 2 dwarf Nubian Nannie’s . Even though I have a 100 x 100 garden I still have room to expand but my job is 10-12 hr days and I cant handle a bigger one but hope when I retire I can increase it by 5 more raised beds to the 8 I have along with 48 mineral tubs and 30 grow bags. Anyone who says you can’t grow enough to sustain yourself … well 1. You grow up on trellis 2. You can and dehydrate what you can’t finish fresh every day, 3. Grow what you eat and a lot of it! I live in Texas so I grow 10 out of 12 months , have a lake a mile away to fish out of, and I raise my meat chickens , am I totally self reliant? No but the savings I create far out weighs and tired and sore I feel lol and it’s so rewarding. Plus I know what went into the food I put on my table. I would never had tried any of this had it not been for you Tessie sounding off against someone saying you can’t feed yourself on 1 acre and you showed all you was doing and I knew I could also.

More snow, Tessie? I'm trying not to envy you! I love snow and none has fallen here. This has been a fun overview of the history of your homestead development. Can't wait to see what you and you hubby do with it this year. Being able to truthfully say we love our homes, in spite of some things we don't have that are now in most houses, is a real blessing. Yesterday, my little grandson suddenly declared he would not ever want to move to Windsor or Buckingham Palace because our little home is better than a castle or palace. I am so happy that he is content😊.

Howdy, getting wood burning stove. Hope all goes well with that, burning wood and getting it is labor intense.

[@joannetaggart4136]

Yes, gathering the wood is laborious. It always eats our wood so fast. 😊

[@CynthiaLundquist-oi2cu]

Burning wood is hard work. We live in an area where there is basically 7-8 months of heating our home with wood. We cut the wood, split the wood, pile the wood in a shed, haul it into the house into the wood box, and feed the fire. You are handling that wood 4-5 times to heat your home. A good chimney is a must and has to be cleaned many times during the burning season to prevent creosote buildup and a chimney fire. We have our own land where we cut the firewood from windfall trees...20 acres of woods. If you have to buy the firewood and have it delivered your cost savings goes way down. It seems cozy and romantic and so old-fashioned, but be prepared for the hard work that goes along with it and if you have to buy your wood the cost is sometimes prohibitive. Speaking from 40 years of experience heating our home with wood.

[@thevanhyfte]

Yes it is. But it can be done. I have MS and have rods in my back because my disks are crumbling. I did 6 cords mostly by myself this yr. Do little by little whenever you have the weather. Every time I take the dogs out to potty or go out to take care of the animals I bring some in the house with me.

[@HomesteadTessie]

Yes absolutely it wouldn't be our first time having one

[@HomesteadTessie]

We had them different times throughout our marriage we know exactly how hard it is but we would be buying our own wood we have a source where we can purchase as much wood as we could use it would be already split it's not our first rodeo

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

Did you ever take "before" pictures of your property and home? If you put a double fence( even just wire fence) around your garden ( about 3ft apart) the deer won't jump over 2 fences! Or you can stretch fishing line across areas where you don't want the deer to cross. They get scared when they touch the line! Just some thoughts.( then you can grow corn!) You two have come a long way and should be very proud of yourselves! God Bless!

[@HomesteadTessie]

No sadly we did not have any photos that was before youtube and I didn't even have a camera and never even thought of it there are some old photos on line when we bought the property as to the fence around the garden that would be my heart's desire but my husband does not want one and I have a hard time convincing him to put one up

Before i would consider a wood burning stove in a mobile home i would contact your insurance company, it may not be covered. Also several years ago we lived across from a mobile home park. One year there were 3 fires all before Christmas and they go up so fast and were total losses. I would strongly consider your options before bringing in a wood burner. One option might be to use an outdoor burner they look like big smokers and can not only heat your home but your water as well. One of the homes we looked at in the country had one. I don't remember the name. You have done an amazing job with your property. Blessings

Thank you so much for your question yes as long as our wood stove is put in by a licensed professional we can have a wood stove and also be fully insured

​@HomesteadTessie I hope my comment didn't come off rude. I remember you mentioning breathing issues with your pellet stove. Blessings

We have coyotes and other predators around and on our property. I was able to find 8’chainlink fencing on Marketplace for a fraction of the price of even 6’ fencing. We got it put up and have a large area to keep our chickens safe from 4 legged predators. We had enough to fence in a very large garden area and keep it safe from the deer. It was still an investment to be sure. You might want to keep an eye on marketplace for a solution to protecting your chickens.

I'm considering purchasing a mobile home with land. The mobile would require quite a bit of TLC. Do you have photos of your home when you first purchased it? Staying debt free is the biggest key to success. You're so right to pay as you go. Slow and steady wins the race!

Unfortunately no that was way before youtube and I didn't even own a camera nor did I even think about it at the time we moved rather quickly and so it was pretty much survival mode to get everything cleaned up here at this property we put in all new paint and carpeting and we had a lot of cleanup I wish I would have had it on a camera

I think it's great how you've made your channel into pretty much a full time job. I believe you post everyday and you're sweet and pleasant enough to watch and listen to regularly. Your home is beautiful and you have interesting posts. Cute couple, too. Keep up the good work. You've made a wonderful life for yourselves.

You all did a wonderful job on your home and property. I'm very thankful we have the apartment we have. We have 2 little garden plots and we can afford our bills. I'm still working on the place too with how I want for it to look. I have stuff-itis, lol. Lord bless you all. ❤

Beautiful tour, Tessie! You've done such a fabulous job on your property and home; the love and care is evident. I'm looking forward to seeing how you put this year's plan into action. Adding that book to my wish list; I want to make the most out of where we're living now and gather ideas for wherever the future might bring us.
