Wow the glass looks amazing 😊

[@shereechampoux5424]

The glass is Amazing !!

[@carolemattina9869]

What a cool idea....you can probably do a lot of things with it... and the plus side of it was even better... a cleaning tool for hard stuff to clean 😉 Bluetti did his job well again 💪

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Totally!

[@irislozinsky3960]

Loved your experiment ! Very cool. Beautiful!

I like how that sea glass turned out. Great use as a mulch... perfect for container gardening too.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I think so too!

[@triciawade8634]

I’m amazed at how that turned out! Brilliant!

[@meglange3595]

I love sea glass!! This is great!! I was gifted a small tumbler but haven't aquired the polishing media for it. I want to polish stones for jewelry making. Never thought of polishing glass. Thanks for the idea!! 🥰🌿♥️

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

That is awesome , we looked into getting a tumbler but the big quantities we want to work meant we had to think outside the box 😁

[@louiseupton3363]

Wow! you guys are so creative, it's beautiful 😍 Now everytime I go down to the beach and pick up tumbled glass, I'll think of you. I've been collecting small pieces for the fairy 🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️ garden I'm creating. Hi beautiful Molly. It looks like you were having fun too. Bluetti should pay you a modeling fee 😂😂

Love this project , plus bonus of clean mixer.🙂

Yes that was a really nice surprise 😁

The Bluetti should make your life easier. I watch 'That 1870 Homestead' and Todd reviewed one 2 years ago, they love it for the cabin (off grid) and for home backup... It's a game changer in a warm climate like you have. I hope they sponsored you for reviewing it, this will help you and Sarah emmensley. The result is stunning, I love it.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Yes Bluetti have really changed our lives when it comes to power . We are power rich thanks to them 😁💕

[@lindapeters9026]

[@evelyngorfram9306]

Glass with a surface rough enough to be opaque will not start a fire; since the rough surface scatters light, & the sun's rays must be concentrated through a smooth polished surface to create enough heat to ignite anything. And, although the surfaces are clear when wet, wet things don't catch fire much. I'm glad the glass mulch is working out- it sounds beautiful!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you so much for clearing any doubts we had x x

Molly loves the glass. Fun video!😍🇨🇦

Loved the glass. Would be fun to see in a water feature.

Thank you for this lesson on Bluetti am thinking for my tiny house so good lesson. Love your videos and how much you love animals

[@melinda5777]

I've watched a lot of off grid stuff bc I eventually want a small place off grid with no HOA/POA!! Anyway, I watched several different videos on several different off grid Solar Generators and decided on Bluetti. I found most that started out with Jackery, ended up with Bluetti! Maybe they got a better deal, Luke a Sarah have a great set up!! I love my Bluetti.!! Model # EB70S . Not as big as theirs, but it does what I need it to do. Easy to read but no Bluetooth capabilities which is fine bc I have that on my garage, non-portable station!

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

You are so welcome! We love Bluetti ❤️❤️

[@nicolalunnon5385]

You two never cease to amaze with your imagination to try new things .. the glass is beautiful , well done 😊x

Really cool! I can't wait to try this someday. Had the same idea after I saw Ricky and Victoria do the same thing with old terracotta roof tiles 🤩 I always loved sea glass, these are amazing and so big!

Hi Guys, Wow, that looks amazing, so creative and a new way discovered to clean the cement mixer😁 Bluetti is amazing, I know you guys swear by them, I'm so glad you get to work with them, looking forward to Saturdays video! Take care guys ♥️ ♥️

nice idea :) could be a really neat hydroponic growing medium

[@cazicature]

What a great video, love that you are both so creative. Bluetti is great, we have one at home, and charge it via solar panels in the garden, saves some pennies on the electricity bill, especially in the sunnier months, and feels great that we are generating our own energy, plus, we can take it on camping trips 👍🏻

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

So happy you enjoyed it x x Yes Bluetti have really made our outdoor work lives so much easier ❤️

[@annadaurie2435]

Very pretty.

[@melinda5777]

We pick up sea glass all the time here! I could give you a list of 50 things to do with it! Don't use as mulch, please. But if you have some succulents, they are real pretty in a pot with those. Earrings for everyone or necklaces! You can put them in you store, or around the piglets necks, 😂😂! You can make potted plant hangers with some type of rope and the glass as ornaments. Christmas ornaments, presents. Stain glass window, (FOR THE RUIN, your welcome😂❤☘☘❤!!!!!) In clay pots in the house and out door kitchen, you put a candle stick in the center of the pot(plug the hole) some ppl put like an inch of sand to help stabilize them, I don't. I just fill the pot with the Sea Glass, light the candle and it's so beautiful!! (Of course the sand would take up space and you wouldn't have to put so much sea glass! I could go one and one! People make little sea turtles and crabs out of them. They glue them on the outside of pots for plants. They put them in cement stepping stones they make. WOW, I'm tired. Subject change! I ended up with a Bluetti after watching all my Portuguese off grid peeps!LOL! BUT TO BUY AN ADD ON BATTERY LIKE Y'ALL HAVE, JUST ONE WOULD BRAKE THE BANK!!! MAYBE THEY WILL SEE THIS (I LIVE IN HURRICANE ALLEY IN/ON THE GULF OF MEXICO!!) AND HAVE PITTY ON ME AND SEND ME ONE! I just used mine last week. Some dumb sailboat captain/ crew, ran into the only POWER LINE leading to the Island and knocked out power for about 6 hrs. They fixed the line in record time, considering they have to pull a barge out there(on the water) with a Alabama Power Truck with a bucket crew to fix it!!! Glad it wasn't my sailboat!!😮😮 SUBJECT CHANGE... Finally spoke with my Dr on Wednesday afternoon. Yes!! So after I took my Mom to her Lab appt today, I went to the VA! Blood test, shot for pain including the steroid, for a booster and Shingles vaccine. Anyone over 50yo can get them if they had the chicken pox as a child. My Mom broke out about 2 days on her face in October right before her Heart Attack that landed us in the hospital for a week, yes us, I didn't leave her there by herself! Anyway blah blah blah, they gave me a cane and did a set of back x-rays on my lower back and pelvis. So after the Radiologist reads them, I can start Physical Therapy! Yeah!! Now everyone that reads your posts can be happy for Y'all and me! ✝️🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇵🇹👣🍍🌻☘🤗

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Good luck on your Physical Therapy and thank you for all the cool ideas Melinda❤️

@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife I just saw my text!! I think I was OUT SIDE MY MIND when I wrote this BOOK, and I c old barely see bc my eyes were so blurry. When the power went out at 2AM CST, they notify you by Msg. Said it would be back on at 4AM CST, then 430AM CST. I fell asleep. Now it's 1230PM CST! My Bluetti is out, because I ran a fan all night and it was dark and raining so no charging. I'm getting reddy to plug it up outside, after I get up. I have a small camping fan that's charge buy USB, I'VE had it sitting on a flat surface box on my bed on low.....now it just went out!! TIME TO GET UP AND START SWEATING! XX 🤣🤣🤣

[@PiksDelport]

Cool stuff! Wrt your question regarding using it as a mulch: Mulch are devided into two main catogories. Ie: organic and inorganic. Glass, like pebbles, are in the latter catogory. Your biggest difference between the 2 catogories is its contribution to soil health. Organic mulches help improve soil health whereas inorganic makes no contribution, which will leave you with depleting soil health, unless you now up your organic fertilizer input. Hope that helps.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

That helps very much thank you we will fertilize the blueberries more often ❤️❤️

[@dweamy1]

I would not put it on the soil, but would use it to make a collage within a frame.

[@nancibishof6462]

The glass could make a terrazzo floor when mixed with concrete as the aggregate in it. Perhaps for your renovation of the stone house?

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Great idea , a crazy amount of glass would be needed but it would look beautiful❤️❤️

[@nancibishof6462]

@@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife Have friends save glass for your terrazzo. Recycling upgraded to a beautiful result. Or, you can do inserts of terrazzo to create a patterned floor. Once the floor is polished and sealed it is golden.

[@miriammuskal5402]

What a nice project with the glass I hope you will be able to use it for something

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

It is working great as a mulch and we want to fill the second blueberry bed too because it looks so nice

[@biddiemutter3481]

From experience, cementy water blocks drains. I wonder where you put the waste water?

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

The only cement that might be in the slurry will be the old hard bits that the process cleaned off of the mixer. So the chemical process that makes cement harden already happened. So its just some little stones of old cement mixed with water, sand and tiny fragments of glass I guess. We just emptied it in our empty future little pond.

[@Jennifer62389]

Paint a table top white and clear glue glass pieces in andbthen fill with the clear stuff that covers the glass and makes it flat. I forget the name of the stuff. And drink Saphire gin to get the beautiful blue bottles, bottoms up.🎉

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

I think maybe you mean Epoxy😁 oh yes those blue gin bottles are so beautiful but we just don't like gin

[@jcampbell100]

I want a cement mixer!!

[@Astroponicist]

A little water in the mixer will control the dust just fine. You don't need any sand or other materials as the bottles will make their own sand.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you 👍

[@teresasilva706]

Hi guys , I really enjoy watching your videos, i have a interesting question for you, as i usually see Chemtrails in the sky , almost in every videos, does the clear skies last all day or just in the mornings? Chemtrails are being sprayed all over the planet to block the sun , cloud seeding, dimming the sun , etc… does the lack of sun affects the production of electricity on the solar panels???

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thank you Teresa, so happy that you enjoy them ❤️❤️ Not sure what you mean but it is sunny most of the day and our solar is always on full unless it is a rainy cloudy day😁

[@SJC49]

What?

[@daffs0]

What a great way to do sea glass and it cleaned out your mixer Molly makes a great model for the bluetti, she is smart has so much energy she is a wonderful colour and she doesn’t need plugging in 🤣😂🤣😂 thank you for sharing 😁

[@biddiemutter3481]

That's a theory about the vapour trails left by aircraft, but since they haven't changed in 50 odd years, I am content to think that it is not a chemical spraying, but the natural consequence of flying an aeroplane through the atmosphere!

Then you can make chimes, put in windows.

Such a great idea ❤️❤️

[@HeatherNaturaly]

Don't use it as mulch. Glass acts like a magnifying glass and you could easily start a fire.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Apparently once it is opaque it wont but clear glass will

[@Astroponicist]

salt does nothing to the glass, but will rust your mixer.

[@lukeandsarahsoffgridlife]

Thanks for this 😁
