ICF Mountain Homestead: Finishing Rough In

[@hummingbirdwest6869]

Tip: When you install the A/C and all of that, install a whole home dehumidifier! If you have high humidity and do the canning and food preservation, it's worth it 1000%. Plus, you will never have mold in your vent system, which means, no lung issues. Do it now, before you need to do it in the futre and pay high price for it. Just a tip.

[@ledzepgirl299]

I can only imagine sitting on that porch in the morning with a cup of coffee enjoy the gorgeous view!! Great job of implementing your dream!

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Just think! One day soon you’ll be lounging in your chairs and taking in that beautiful scenery knowing that the home was built with your own blood, sweat and tears! ❤️

[@KatInTheNorth]

I am SO excited for you all! It's getting so much closer to "move-in" day!!! You have all worked so hard for this and it gives me such joy to see your dreams coming true! Your new home is beautiful already!! I can't wait to see you get to the interior decorating stage, and you're almost there!!!

[@mrwhitten7704]

The progress and sacrifice y'all have made to follow your dreams is awe inspiring. An honest labor of love! Thank you for allowing us to follow along.

[@boomerchop]

Jeremy, thank you for giving me the inspiration to organize my workshop. I've watched all of the house build and also much of the prior material and was inspired to clean out and organize my shop. After my dad died in 2014 I ended up with a LOT of his stuff, but had never sorted it out, and eliminated what I didn't need. I have now and am ready to get back to work. No house build planned but plenty of honey-do jobs. A fan of all four of you, Paul

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Awesome. Go make stuff! 👍🏻😎🍺

[@northstarprepsteader]

Very cool idea to load the walls with quotes and inspiration...a nod to so many that have "built" this with you from a distance.

[@earlshine453]

Thanks for showing the versatility of a scaffolding on wheels in a previous vid. Got me one for painting the ceiling and rewiring the electrics in the garage. Stay safe, best wishes, greetings from Holland.

[@lttlod1]

Love the quotes on the walls!

I do too! I was just coming here to comment that!

So fascinating to see how this ICF electrical and rough-in is actually done! Cool!!!

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again! House is coming along so nicely. Soon you'll be moving in and decorating however you like. So so happy for you all! Been a long time now since I've been following your story so I greatly appreciate what you've gone through up to this point. You all are very talented in your own ways and it's always been a sure thing somehow you'd find a way to reach your goal and have this wonderful dream of yours. Can hardly wait for you all to be settled in... Stay safe and healthy. Thx as always for the updates!

[@kmaynor16]

That's great, Jeremy! You're still doing very well in my opinion, even though this is summertime. Your videos are a highlight of my day because they are very positive. That helps in this pandemic time.

[@PaullaWells]

Those are a couple of pretty big items checked off that project plan. Great job! Progress is progress. So long as you are not standing still in the hold pattern then you're making progress. I'm getting so excited to see it all finished!

[@PaulyOutdoors]

I can't wait to see that Pot Filler put to use. Always love Jaime's canning series and hope she makes many more down the road.

[@alsnow3582]

Great progress and it was fun to watch the time-lapse of the wiring going in.

[@thevoicewithin930]

Big respect and admiration to & for you guys. If only projects like this could unfold at video speed ;-D

[@terrylewis_]

It is so satisfying seeing how neat everything is. My parents house was built in the 30's and the wiring is all over the place.

[@cloverdoll1228]

Before you all cover up the walls, can we request a video tour of all of the sayings that have been written up a little slower?! Personally I think it would be a great vid to post right before the "It's finished!" tour. ;)

Yes

[@marklownox]

Everything is coming together well. I’m excited for your family!

[@tyava]

You guys are so inspiring. I've been with you guys ever since you were at your former homestead before you got the goats. Your hour long video on raising chickens got me hooked. It really helped me when I started my flock. I've since added goats, pheasants, turkeys, alpacas and a guard llama. Thank you for your inspiring, educational and fun videos over the years. =)

[@SillyMe2718]

Jeremy, you truly have done a marvelous job on construction. Can only imagine how much your work has saved your build on dollars. Excited about the progress you have made. 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@Mulberrysmile]

Some questions for an episode of “The Dirt”: When do estimate moving in? Will code allow you to move in with some work still left to do? How do you find the driveway with the gravel? Loving it, or no difference? What are your plans for the trailer? Keep it a living space for the girls, turn it into an office, sell it...? How is the ph of the water from your well? (Mine is very alkaline and has a lot of sediment, so I’m always interested in how people deal with water issues.) Do you plan on doing some water catchment for outdoor watering at the house? Can you do a drone shot of the house area and draw in your plans for using the space? Are the girls excited? Do you have plans to deal with the temperature gradients in the air under the vaulted ceiling? Are you planning to put in extra vents for return flow from the upstairs spaces for the HVAC? I heard there is a wood shortage for some reason...are y’all having any issue sourcing wood for the decks? Are you planning to put some kind of fence or hedge at the cliff?

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

There should have been a gasket sleeve where the pvc enterered the tank. If it is not there you can gas escaping out of the ground. You want to keep it in the tank. I hope you also remember to install a one-way valve too.

[@augustreil]

What's the one-way valve for ? Shit runs downhill ! lol.

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

@@augustreil I guess you have never had one over fill due to a faulty level sensor. Shit can back up too. I guess you have not ever worked in construction...Speak from experience not from ignorance...!

I would have went an extra step and poured the floors and top ceiling. I know it is an extra expense but the final product is tornado and hurricane wind proof. It also keeps the inside more thermally stable. At least that's how my father's house is and I love to feel the cool air when I walk in.

I find it interesting that you guys have done everything to code. So often people that go off-grid don't and land up with a shoddy looking house at the end of it but the quality of your build looks high. Is it a requirement of the area you live in, or a choice you made?

It’s a choice. We are building a quality home, regardless of codes.

@@Guildbrookfarm Ok, since the lighting circuits have a much lower wattage/amp load, the inspector/code is allowing the lighter gauge, and cheaper 14/2 wire. Cool.
