If it looks like I'm moving slower than usual... I'm not. This is the first (?) video that I didn't speed up AT ALL. Okay, I may have been a BIT more slow that usual but that was because of the CURSED HEAT WAVE that was trying to squash me: body and soul. The temperature ranged from 95º F -111º F (35ºC - 43.88ºC) so... yeah, gym memberships are for people who don't have a PoopHouse.
All of the steps I'm taking to make the PoopHouse into a PoopHome are important but I do realize that some will be more interesting than others. I'm doing everything I can to show what the process (my process) is at every turn. I show the things that I think are relevant and that I would want to see and, as always, I work at my own pace. Every time a step is completed, y'all will be the first to know 🖤
Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the Verse.

I've been thinking about it since your last vlog video "What kind of content do you create?". And watching this video I think I finally know. Yours is not a DIY channel. You are a D&FOW (Determination and Force Of Will) channel. Seeing it, making the plan, then executing that plan by any means your tiny 90lb muscled physique can devise and not giving up cause it's hard or complaining about it (at least not on camera). It's why I, and possibly others, find you so compelling, 'cause as much as I want to see what you accomplish with the Poop House, I find it much more interesting to watch you do it than what you're doing with it. I do still worry sometimes about you getting hurt alone out there in the "Middle of Nowhere" or getting heatstroke and passing out, but I know in the end, you got this. -Never Give Up! Never Surrender!

[@ijessup]

this. THIS. i so appreciate you taking the time to write this out because THIS is all i'm trying to do. you TOTALLY get me 🖤 if, god forbid, i get heat stroke and pass out (highly improbably because i take every precaution) the i would hope that gary would scurry up to me and whisper in my ear, "By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged" 🖤🖤🖤

[@chiefjohnsonBR549]

Very Well Said Scott. 👍👏

[@scottperry8388]

@@ijessup It was the washing machine footage that clarified it for me. You clearly weren't heavy enough to ballast it but you persevered and figured it out. You're really are just Awesome.

[@robertspencer7438]

The rocks. It was the rock/gravity based demolition process that solidified this for me.

[@jennifergrizzardekzarkhov6663]

Yes. I get sucked in by the pure process. It’s soooo satisfying to see the chaos at the beginning and then the fully cleaned out space at the end. I find it really soothing. And I’m rooting for you the whole time! Especially when you run into a tough pot stuck on the end of a pipe that won’t move, or a heavy appliance you need to move by yourself. Then there always the interludes with Gary. Love Gary.

[@celifacejones]

I watched the whole thing just mumbling to myself, "she is such a bada*s!" Truly goals. Also, the last part with the squirrel was so cute. 😫

Dear child, If I were 60 years younger I would be right out there helping you. I am a compulsive organizer and love to tidy up messes. The messier the better. It makes me sad that all I can do now is watch and cheer you on. You go girl!!

[@elisabethe8055]

I love to watch you clear the space. It is kind of therapeutic. Doing it in a calm way with attention to details. Bit by bit but jet efficient. It is looking good and you can almost feel the relief the land you clear feels. Thank you for sharing.

[@ijessup]

i literally stood and stared at the open land where everything used to be and i swear we were breathing in tandem 🖤

[@katieallen3927]

If you need to up security just nail that doll to a post at the entrance to the property, that would keep most people away. Yikes she’s creepy.

You are smart

[@BBPfordinner]

you're not wrong

[@jamessang5027]

Whew, I'm tired! Cleanliness is godliness! Ask your brother to buy some windows that are laminated. Laminated glass has a thin film of polycarbonate, which the window difficult to break, more secure! When you put your door in, use 3 inch screws for your hinges and strike plate. Makes the door difficult to break in. Change the siding to metal. It's fire resistant. If you change the siding, add a 2×4 on each stud to give you more room for extra insulation. Use mineral wool for insulation. It is also more fire resistant. Plant trees about 20 or 30 feet from the sunny sides of your house, in order to keep the house cooler! I need some rest after watching you!!!

[@leifpaulin5358]

Fire resistant?? Out in that desert nothing can burn, only sand all along. No forest nearby.

[@chandarussell]

Pots stuck on metal poles, mummified rats, etc. You got it all don’t you. You are the definition of where there is a will there is a way. You are such a hard worker. I really love watching your videos. I hope you keep Mr. M&M. It made me laugh.

[@robinmilburn3919]

I was so happy to see that you posted another video! I know you have another "life" elsewhere, but I look forward to your posts and to just watch you deal with all of the "crap" that surrounds the house one thing at a time. You inspire me, but I'm way past 20 something, so I'll just watch you. Take care of you until next time.

[@ijessup]

i WISH i was still in my 20 somethings 😂 but i'll take the compliment 🖤

[@landcruiserin]

You need a dumpster sponsor, not Squarespace!

[@nelderae4380]

And Gorilla Carts.

[@DavidKirtley]

The area where you were cleaning first, looks like someone was doing some metal casting. The gas line for the furnace. That big pile was the casting sand. The muffin pan for making ingots of left over metal. The grinding wheels were for grinding off sprues on the castings.

[@DavidKirtley]

@@ijessup I went back and looked again. The thing with the pipe fittings all put together was part of gas burner for a furnace. You had it in your hand at 06:21

[@alyssakalodimos7149]

I love the padlock that was clearly the only thing holding that little shed together lol

[@aussiegirl5050]

I’ve been following for a while and I’m amazed at your energy and tenacity. When I was your age I wouldn’t have had the strength to see this project through and I’d have given up ages ago. Keep up the great work.

[@kimsimpson8138]

It is so comforting to watch your steady calm approach to work and puzzle resolution. The reclaimed area made me think of a desert patio and dry weather plantings

[@alphonsbretagne8468]

I really do like that you smile everytime you succeed, even at little steps. Proves you're full of joie de vivre! Keep going, splendid :)

[@_mitsukuni_]

I’m curious where each category of material you take away is going, like will you burn the wood? What is trash and what can be recycled (if you’re choosing to recycle)? Can you scrap the metal and get a little money? I mostly ask because it looks like you’re being very careful and checking the stuff you’re finding rather than just tossing everything:)

[@jeanettel4840]

This may be one of the questions she's answered a hundred times. :-)

Don't worry about us. I see a lot of progress in your yard - and with the chipmunks of course! Had a good laugh when the shed collapsed. I'm shocked time and again why someone would amass so much junk on his property. I love how dedicated you are. This will be great when your finished. Looking forward to more progress (in your own time) from Germany 🇩🇪.

I must say, the prior owner had a great idea rigging that soup pot for the un-spillable, and un-chewable food/water bowl for their dog. Would I use those materials? Likely no, but bonus points for creativity.

[@DragonGateDesign]

or a rigged septic vent or inlet maybe a urinal

I think it was to keep squirrels and small animals away from the dog food.

I keep having anxiety every time I watch one of these hoarder house videos that while you're cleaning outside, you're going to find a rattlesnake. I recall a while ago hearing that the 29 Palms area and Joshua Tree area were practically infested with rattlesnakes and that at night, people had to wear snakebite boots whenever going outside because they were really common to come across.
