Our First REAL Shower in Two Years!

We have spent the last week working towards making our A-Frame house a functional living space despite not being finished yet. Going back and forth from our A-Frame to our flooded RV in order to try and cook and shower has been both messy and inefficient with 3 children. It is time to rig up some temporary fixes, haul the RV out of here for good and attempt to live a more normal/efficient life.

[@ahmedmobarak2059]

I watched every episode of you guys and i love you.. you are doing something great for your family.. i am a million miles away from you and I am your biggest fan well done and keep going and may God give you all the happiness in the world cause you deserve it

[@BirdYoumans]

Young people, you can learn a lot from these two. Two years of hard work, which they chose to have fun doing together, and look where they are. Working together is so important, and you two do it so well. Now you can have your future hard working adventures in relative comfort. I think the kids are loving it too!!

Awesome glad you have hot water! As a plumber the only suggestion i would have, is get two "18 stainless steel flex lines coming off the w/h nipples to meet code, the heat from the flue will eventually break down the pex. Love your journey!

[@seanorth]

I follow several diy homebuilders and my father was a constructor, so I see the connection. I think some professionals sadly hit dislike, rather than commenting, if they disagree with how something is carried out. Like the other day, someone did outdoor painting and did not get it done quite right. That resulted in more dislikes straight away. Because the result will lead to the wood ending up weather damaged in no time. There is this ”rule” that you should not contribute to any kind of criticism in the comments. So then they hit negative, instead of leaving their feedback.

Nice to have hot showers😁 a bit of advice, use a non combustible piping( copper) for the first 18” off a gas water heater, this is to avoid any melting of the water pipe if it backdrafts for some reason.✌🏻

You keep it flowing with interest, the music you attach are like perfect for that particular scene. It's like watching a Television 📺 series, your that good. So yes, hats off to you on your Editing.

get your self a wood chipper and get rid of all the tree branches laying around, i got one and loved it, covered the flower beds with wood chips to stop weeds and its great in the produce garden to prevent weeds growing around the crops, it also helps when trying to start a fire in the wood burner...

Yar Nunya, you have my dream mudroom. I never had one when the boys lived at home. My youngest has a hall to the right from the garage. First stop half bath, and then a very large laundry room. I told him he should put a hanging rod in there for his wife. Got told no because I iron his shirts and everything else goes upstairs to the bedrooms and put away☺️. Middle son, walk in from the garage and into a laundry room. Shoes come off there then straight to individual bathrooms. Eldest son.doesn't have this setup because the previous owners build a Grammy room out of it and enlarged it as well. They have doors leading off the back deck into the kitchen. Take Care

I agree with her! It's a Water Heater because it can be set to "warm or to hot." And saying "Hot Water Heater" is redundant! Blessings on your off grid life!

[@pamelaatkinson5710]

Some things are best left to the teenage years, right? Don't want to see children learning about wiring and then fooling around and burning themselves. Same with piping to gas lines and using power tools. Great idea to teach basic carpentry with hand tools and care and feeding of farm animals. Great to learn how electricity and plumbing work, too without going into how to actually doing it.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

[@darshinijaymungul1807]

@@Beandiptheredneck i disagree with your view. Children are children. They are already learning so much right now. They are seeing their parents working very hard. They have the notion. When the time will come, they will learn how to use tools etc.
