[@longfellowsgirl6251]

You need to understand how much we love and respect both of you!!!! You make us happy too. You’re so much fun and of course we see just how hard you work. It’s def paying off!!! ☺️❤️❤️❤️

🎶Almost heaven West Virginia 🎶 yep I live here too 😉

[@PabloP169]

Clearly the best channel on KZbin. A mix of constructive/educational information regarding all aspects of building an off grid home in a fun way. Plus great info about the proprty and livestock, and watching the kids have fun and help, with that cute little pug faced dog, it all makes it great to watch.

[@mw645842]

YOU GUYS ARE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO WATCH. ALWAYS WAITING FOR THE NEXT VIDEO.

[@roger10coutinho]

Wow, just wow. I am watching this video in 2024. It’s great. Comparing your house now and this A frame from 4 years ago. What an accomplishment. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful!

[@Ayl-bw1iq]

Congratulations on water & power! I love following along on y'alls journey! Erin, as a homeschooling and hardworking Moma, you inspire me!💛

[@johnnelson8956]

I am a retired engineer. I watch hundreds of these home construction and renovation videos each month. I have to say that your attention to detail is second to none. And I love that you allow your children to help and participate in your project.

[@kevinjasper415]

Congratulations for the 100,000 milestone. Your style of presentation is fantastic, your interaction with each other including your children is even better. Long may you make these films and thank you for sharing your story!

Your show is by far the best off grid/homestead video on KZbin. You’re refreshing. No gimmicks or negativity. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us ❤️

[@somdhomestead9031]

The professionalism of your electric, plumbing, and build is great. Your family will have a very safe and secure home off grid. Congrats on 100,000 subs.

A very good story to be a father, a mother and a family for everyone. I'm a Chinese, but I really like it. Wish kindness and warm to be everywhere!

[@judikayabigailhumes]

Congratulations. You folks have worked so hard. I am proud of you both. Great team work.

[@vanmiles6979]

This is the video that popped up on my feed and got me started watching this channel. I have watched every video to date and absolutely love this perfect all American couple. She: super strong self confident momma, beyond beautiful and smart. You can tell she is REALLY sharpe and crafty. And she chose a good one! He: Independent, smart as hell, handy and dedicated to his family. Both are resourceful and deserve everything they achieve. Both are lucky to have each other and wise enough to know it. If every American couple shared their work ethic, family values and craftiness we would be living in utopia. Unfortunately some people see these values as a “deplorable” condition. This channel is real and that’s what makes it appealing. I’ll stay with you as long as you post content!

[@genestatler2514]

What a wonderful feeling of accomplishment with water & power for you two. I know it was for me. Such a genius idea for insulating the water line! Looking forward to the next video.

[@carlymay6626]

So many huge milestones for you guys in such a short time period... water, power, followers. It makes me so happy to see dreams come true for anyone... but especially for hardworking young families!

[@heavenonearth6584]

Thank you for sharing your build journey. To date, every task you've completed was done with thoughtful consideration and pride in quality of outcome, never once taking to cheap shortcuts. It's no wonder on why you've grown a large following. Congratulations!

[@darlene6670]

God has a way of putting two people together that belong together! You two are perfect for each other! God Bless you, the babies and your lives together! You are so so much fun to hang with!!! In the blink of an eye your babies will be grown and you will wonder where the years went, trust me I know! I'm watching my 15th month old great-granddaughter while her mommy and daddy work, she has added years to my life, or taken them away will will see LOL (teasing of course) I love her with everything inside of me! Papa and I have a ball with her! I will keep you and the babies in my prayers that you all just continue your journey with all the fun and love you can muster!!!

No electric bill , No water bill , you guys are off grid hero's , keep it up , you prove that it can be done , and happy 100 thousand !

[@jimthomas777]

Wilbur Finnigan , I didn't say that it was free , they said they paid around $15,000 for electric , but it's paid for , and water cost for plumbing and labor , but what I said was , they have no electric bill and no water bill , and they are off grid hero's , so don't add anything to my words

[@PeterLawton]

@@jimthomas777 Yes, those are two fewer bills to worry about in retirement later, when income drops and cost-of-living-adjustments (SS) don't really keep up. I love that independence!

[@jimthomas777]

Peter Lawton , I have 4 PMAs , that stands for Permanent Magnet Alternator's , they make electric power , I have reduced my electric bill from $175 a month to $35 a month , my plan is to go completely off grid , I also have a 22 foot deep well that I plan to start pumping out my own water out of , I know that it isn't free , but I won't have any electric bill and water bills in the future , only maintenance of them both , big deal , I can deal with that

[@pocketchange1951]

@@wilburfinnigan2142 but this is better than paying all of your hard earned money to the man, been doing this for 19 years and I owed nothing after a,4 year investment on my solar and I have hydro and wing gen, there are different meanings to being off grid, it does not mean the you can not have the necessities, it just means not paying monthly, yes there is an initial investment, which is soon paid off, enjoy paying the man, as I take it from your comment that you are still connected and no experience in this life style

[@lieuwina]

CONGRATULATIONS on achieving 100,000 viewers. Not surprised really, your interaction with each other, your children and the animals on the homestead is wonderful.I look forward to your videos and see how far you have come. You make it look so easy, when putting all the water pipes, lighting, solar power etc etc I know the hard work you both put in together is amazing (more than amazing). The children are so good and are willing to help too. I wish you both and your family the very best in your homestead and wait for your next adventure in the A-Frame. Have a great day.

I salute you, your work ethic, ingenuity, and above all; how you are raising your family. Always looking forward to your next video!

[@DF-DefendFREEDOM]

Happy for your family. Power and water makes a difference in your life and comfort. I grew up in my early years until about six without either. We had a hand pump on the hill, carried water to the house in buckets, and lanterns at the saw mill. My mother cooked on a wood burning stove. We were happy, that’s what really mattered. My dad sold the mill and we moved to town. A real change to turn a tap and get water. Flip a switch and get light. We take for granted these blessings in our lives as you well know thru your experiences. Take care and keep being happy. Appreciate life’s blessings.

[@dominicsciscente1877]

I’ve been following you guys from almost the get go. It just dawned on me the amount of work that went into that project. That’s a lot of courage and determination. Congrats. You are an inspiration.

Way to go guys! Hitting 100,0000+ subs and with water and power to the house. Quite a milestone for you. And I gotta say, as I live off grid and have gone thru the same challenges. You guys are the premier You Tube Off Grid channel. No one else even close!

[@Capfka]

It must be very, very satisfying to see those lights in the A-frame given all the work you've both done to get power to it. Your "'power house" is a work of art in itself which will repay your efforts many times over. When I first saw your channel, I thought "Ah, no, another bunch of latterday hippies!", but now I'm like a lot of your other subscribers -- can't wait to see what you've done next! Well done, guys. And thanks for sharing your journey. 105k subscribers really says it all.

Erin, YOU had a great idea using foam and such to keep the pipes from freezing. I noticed Josh snacking on Little Debbies when you weren't looking. I am also amazed you let him play with fire. I understand you must let the "challenged" learn new things, but fire was really pushing it. :)
