Putting up a New Fence & How We Made the Job Efficient - Life in a Tiny House called Fy Nyth

We started on rebuilding a fence that fit our needs and came up with a system that made it a lot fast than we were when we started!

If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. I live off grid (as in no physical connection to public utilities) in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and love it! What will you find if you follow my channel and watch my videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. I split my own wood for heat, carry my water by hand, and attempt to grow as much of my own food as I can between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from my mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
I live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that I am surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!
For a bit of my background, as a child, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend much of my free time exploring and playing in the woods. Little has changed now that I'm older I suppose. I moved to a place with a bigger woods and still enjoy spending my time outside gardening, hiking, exploring, and photographing the natural world around me. As the eldest of seven children who grew up in a homeschooling family, I had the opportunity, not always appreciated at the time, to learn to do quite a bit of work. I've enjoyed a wide range of jobs, everything from greenhouses and flower arranging to wilderness therapy with teens, to milking cows. Mostly, I enjoy doing the kinds of things that I think provide a real service or value to others. Some of my other hobbies include backpacking, hosting people, cooking, preserving food, anything to do with nutrition, reading, journalling, and sitting around a fire and talking to my close friends.

Clay & you work well together. I’m glad you have someone to share your life with.

[@pratibhapanghal]

Is Clay her husband ?

[@littlehomeinthevalley]

@@pratibhapanghal yes

[@dawnbaker9274]

Thank you for allowing us to come along on this new adventure.

[@hollyslaughter5505]

Fun new series thanks for bringing us along!

[@nancygoerlich8526]

I'm really enjoying seeing the whole process of moving to your new property and turning it into everything you want it to be! Looking forward to seeing Fy Nyth in her new surroundings! I'll be watching!

[@SnowAndrews]

I hope you two get many years to enjoy your property together.

[@SnowAndrews]

And to enjoy each other's company, too.

[@cliffp.8396]

That tiny bit of leftover material from your project is extraordinarily efficient, I'm impressed. Looks like you and Clay will soon enjoy a beautiful comfortable home together.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

I'm looking forward to watching your journey to make this property your dream come true. Your fence is AWESOME!

[@dottieburton5501]

love watching you build your dream home with Clay and I am excited to see all the plants that will grow

[@mwolfer1]

A lot of work for two people! Just a hopefully helpful hint: At a community farm I volunteered on in South Carolina we had to extend the 6 foot fence by another 2 feet, because our deer herd had some really brilliant high jumpers and made it in the enclosure, more or less wiping out an entire spring's harvest. We put two strings of electrical fence on top of the 6 foot fence and a few runs at nose height (of the deer of course). It doesn't need to be very rigid and wasn't too much work. Just something to think about. Good luck with your farm. Enjoying your videos.

[@FyNyth]

I think they are less motivated here than in some more crowded areas. I know folks who use 14 foot fencing to keep deer in, but no deer, elk, or moose has ever crossed my 5 foot fence in the past 7 years (with a lot more animals around in the old location!) except for when a tree crushed it or something similar. And thank you!

[@tinekejoldersma]

Had the same here, they can clear a height and width I never expected. One took the fence, the fountain, and the other fence in a few bounds. Unbelievable animals.

[@marirose19]

One of my fave channels to watch got a now huge & beautiful (forget breed) farm dog to protect chickens, gardens, etc. His favorite thing to do is to jump the 5’ fence & get the poor mother her son & daughter-in-law got the dog for running after him & typically finding him counties away (yes usually by car when the dog has run that far). Did it on a vid even while the d-i-l videotaped it. Hilarious. Not so funny tho if he keeps abandoning his farm dog duties; needs some more training. Gorgeous dog tho.

[@ORSkie]

Agreed, we used 8' elk fence around the perimeter of ours.

[@klazyy641]

Now, that's a FENCE! Good job, you two and the intrepid furry guard 'personnel'! Thanks for the video, y'all.

[@Lisboooa]

Whomever raised this outstanding, amazing, beautiful, hardworking young lady congratulations. What a joy to watch. I am so curious about this dream/project I can't wait to see it grow

[@veemcg3682]

Hi Ariel, great videos...thank you for sharing your progress with your you tube friends. You and Clay and Burley and his friend are making fantastic progress and everything is coming on really well. You both work incredibly hard and I pray you will have many many years of love good health and happiness in your new place. God bless you all.v

[@indie825]

That fence what quite the project. Two people makes the job go much quicker and you keep each other motivated on one person is overwhelmed. Great job!

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again ARIEL Wow what a great job you two did! A huge undertaking but the way you did it worked. Very happy you have a nice guy who was willing to take on such a project. Good work ethic for sure. Can't tell you how happy I am for you that you finally get to get to be serious now about your new place. Admire you so much for working hard and being patient til it was time. This is going to be great fun to watch you develop your dream. A great piece of land that offers it all! Thx for coming back on so we can follow along with you. Many of us who tagged along with you for a long time did miss you. Stay safe healthy and enjoy...

[@GINZO4849]

Wonderful and the property was an 8.5 to begin with. Now it is a TEN. Going to have to find a friend with a drone, so we can see it from the air in all its magnificence!

[@daretodream...898]

Love the new fence!

[@elizabethapfelbaum1240]

Our coyotes here in So. Calif. clear our six foot fences with ease but we are very condensed here. What a job, so impressive.

[@jamesfleming6773]

I like how you are not cutting corners,you did the bridge really well.also that is a very good fencing job,you both are hard workers.im looking forward to what you do next 👍🇬🇧

[@Debbie2004]

Looking really good. You both are hard workers and make a nice looking couple.

[@pennyloughlin5098]

Hello from BC, Canada. I am so enjoying all of your videos. Love to see someones dreams come true.

Great job! Nice that you're planting trees right away👍

[@ladyliberty417]

Love the big sky🥰. And Burley supervising, ha! Can’t wait til the house arrives, the fencing job looked hard but the fact it went so well is a good sign for projects to come❗️thanks for taking us along ❣️

[@thetoddkeith]

Lot of hard work building that fence but also very satisfying too. Good stuff.

[@cheryllcole5036]

Really enjoying this new adventure and so happy you have someone special to share it with. May God bless your journey together.

[@shnzrwn2468]

Thank you, Ariel, for sharing. Your videos are just wonderful.

[@jeanettec6212]

What a nice looking fence.

[@PES32086]

Looking good! I’m on pins and needles waiting to see Fy Nyth move to her forever home.

[@skytechbits]

You know how to be very efficient and creative too Ariel. That's great you and Clay were able to get all of the fence done last year. It's so exciting to see how the property has been and is being updated.

[@gracecallowayable]

The mountains are breathtaking!!!👠🚌👠

[@mariadavis2685]

Your new place is looking amazing 😁

[@sandrawyrick]

Love these vlogs of your new place, it is beautiful! I am so happy for you two, rather, that would be four!

[@lonanakken1688]

The fence looks great. You have a beautiful view of the mountains. Looking forward to seeing Fy Nyth at her new home.

[@maryblaylock6545]

Well done ye! So many things can be grown on fences. For the lovely scent I recommend sweet peas (The flowers) And moon flowers. The aroma of these two flowers, sweet peas during the days and the moon flowers at night, really helps lift the spirits! I have hop vines on my trellis and a neighbor has grape vines. I am SO very happy for you!

[@marirose19]

I gotta say I love the way you speak so lovingly to Burley (sp?). I also really love Clay-so hardworking which speaks to his love of you, Ariel. The mountains are majestic. I’m a mountain woman too & am so happy to see all your progress & dreams coming true. Just watched Fy Nyth being moved-yes nerve wracking but so glad it went off w/out a hitch. Ok, it had a hitch but you get my meaning.🤣

[@amandaoutofplace]

There is something oddly satisfying watching you do this....

[@suelyons531]

This fence system is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait to see what you plant to grow up the sides. Trumpet horns would be nice. Well done! I love this series on your new life.

[@tyo9384]

Seriously gorgeous view you have!!!

[@ericnorthman9410]

You know, the last sight was pretty but this land is breathtaking. I mentioned before I love the open land with the mountains in the distance - just my opinion but I like this better. It's just Wow. Really something to look at everyday-

[@BenjesBride]

Thank you for sharing your life and what you learn with us!

[@donnahogan6694]

You two sure did a lot of work doing that fence ,you seem to work well together which is a big plus !

[@FyNyth]

We do really like working together.

[@tinkmarz1]

Great to see the smooth and speedy progress...! Anxious to see what's up next!

[@Tepig099]

What a wonderful place you have there. Happy to see the progress 🥰

[@debmary2999]

Wow, so straight! Without even using a level - very impressive.

[@diversekayaker]

If malabar spinach grows in your climate, that would be a great fence add. The fence looks very sturdy. ..those steel posts are tough to pull out once they are set! Cool system Clay!

[@LeeCraftyHomestead]

congratulation on your new land. hoping someday I find mine too

[@jimsteele7108]

Nice fence

[@livinglife8333]

Very nice!

[@LiLBitsDK]

You and Clay makes a wonderful team :D sweet looking fence, would cost about a bucket full of kidneys over here :D

[@FyNyth]

Thanks! It's something I'd been saving towards for a few years because I knew something along these lines was going to be key on any property we ended up on.

[@drjcwardjr]

Finishing the part that makes good neighbors: CHECK 😎👍

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

Wow, what a saga of collecting all that fencing! Your skill at figuring out how many panels you needed is just amazing! Such a nice neat little system to put up all that fencing. Good job! It was so much fun to watch. PS. The views from your land are absolutely stunning.

[@marianfrances4959]

I really like the fence. The views from your property are wonderful. Congrats on your marriage. Many blessings. 👍😉🇨🇦🐾💜

[@jacklabloom635]

Great job on the fence. I use the 4 x 4 panels to keep deer out of raised, four feet wide flower beds that are 32 feet long. I cut the panels in half, eight feet long and arch them inside the walls of the beds, like a Quonset hut effect, lined up end to end. My wife got tired of the deer eating her tulips. Those panels are really strong. We have five raised beds at our cabin. We also use the rubber mulch in our beds. It never rots and has saved us tons of work replacing the mulch every two or three years. Turned out to be cheaper in the long run. Trial and error after twenty years, and we finally came up with a good system. I can easily lift and remove the wire panels if my wife needs to work in the beds. Deer spray did not work.

[@FyNyth]

Sounds like a great setup!

[@christopherstube9473]

That looks like it may keep the bison out of your garden. Clay seems like the sort to get right down to the task at hand as do you, but i am glad for your videos and explanations.

[@jodysappington7008]

enjoyed the video ..you all have a good week-end

[@josephlwallssr6166]

You guys are motivated for sure and in shape!Alot of work ,but worth it!👍Great job in record time!

I love being able to see the sky! All best wishes for as easy a move as possible.

[@juliefowler4660]

Ariel, I am so happy for you and Clay. This seems to be a beautiful location. I have built similar fencing & it is very sturdy but a lot of hard work & expense!

[@kathleenlankford6027]

That's determination! Job well done.

[@kgsparrow8017]

Thank you

[@thalleshoward3962]

That is a beautiful background, Ariel at the beginning of the video. I am so jealous.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Very nice. I can imagine a super gigantic game of croquet. I love gardening but have had to give it up. So now I spend my time viewing the dreams of others. I had a Very large container garden at my condo but my husband broke his femur from cancer 2 years ago, and I don't want him moving and redoing heavy pots. We have plenty of wonderful farmers markets though. So never fear, we eat well.

[@dorothydemaree7544]

It’s cool how new joys are discovered when a health issue or aging sneaks up on ya 👍💕

Fabulous fence!!👍👍👍

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Wow Ariel Oh my goodness you guys sure put up a lot of fencing but it really looks nice thanks Ariel for sharing👍👍❤

I love seeing things done well. Congratulations on a good job well done. The freedom you now have is awesome! Yes wonderful to know

[@sharene411]

Thank you for sharing. Exciting adventure for you both.

[@cypherian9821]

I do hope one of you checked the flood plans , with the fence over moving water / drainage water if a flash flood or 100 yr flood comes, debris can build up on the fence and either destroy it or divert the water out of the normal path. I know people personally who were not aware they had fenced in their goats cutting across part of flood plan dry wash . We had some serious storms come in and hang around causing flooding every where , debris built up on their fence and diverted the water to a neighbors property flooding a storage shed and damaging it and items inside. The people who put the fence up had to pay a small fine, pay for the damages and remove the fence. Though this was outside of Austin, Tx I would think places that have to have flood plans etc might have similar rules. Keep up the videos nice to see how it is coming together.

[@FyNyth]

Good points. Yes there is a built in movable lower portion that can flip out of the way all on it's own with any pressure from water or debris or we can simply clip it up out of the way during high water. This is a pretty small little creek and it never gets very high. And yes, before purchasing the property we checked all the flood plane info.

[@RobinsinaG]

That's awesome-great job! I am so enjoying watching these vids, mahalo.

[@wildflowerwind6941]

You are one hard worker.

[@3rubberboats]

Greetings Ariel, you are really good at driving posts. Did you know that section lines are set on true N-S and true E-W? Getting the fence set is most important. And you and Clay have done this job very well. Outstanding video. You and Clay have a most extra wonderful day/evening.

[@RobertSmith-nm5vj]

Moses....section lines may be set on true E-W but certainly not N-S!....longitudinal lines are farthest apart at equator & the distance between them narrows the further north you go....since sections are laid out in a rectangular grid pattern it requires offsets ( and gore strips) to make work out!...

[@3rubberboats]

@@RobertSmith-nm5vj Thanks for your info.

[@sherriludwig4263]

Your fence looks nice and great views, looks like lots of hard work, how exciting for you guys a new place and you own it.

[@jazfarm5726]

We used 2x4 inch no climb horse fencing. Same thing, but it came in 200 foot rolls. We did the t-post thing ( my shoulders are now destroyed ) but we also put treated heavy H braces and corner braces with concrete. The 4x4 is mostly for goats.

[@miaballester3978]

Thank you so much for sharing. Much continued success!

[@rockyroadranch72]

It looks great!

[@missylearned9821]

God is wonderful and provides! You’ve come back with instructional videos just in time as we buy a property we want to grow food on and this is one of the things we want to do! Thank you!

[@vannemocilac274]

More (fence) line dancing with Clay and Burley! Slick way to go. I found dwarf fruit trees did not live in Montana or NE California (Modoc county). Try the old fashioned full size trees or make sure they are grafted with cold hardy root stock. I know you do your research and maybe already knew this. I wasted so much time, money, energy on dwarfs and semi dwarfs because I didn't know. I wish you all the best with your trustworthy and respectful partner! PS I tiled the kitchen range backsplash in an Amish quilt pattern and had one square of black left over when I got done! Whew! cutting it close!

[@FyNyth]

Yeah, I'm good with all full sized trees and have tried to select only the most hardy varieties from nurseries growing in other cold climates.

[@brenda9140]

Wow!

[@cheryllamb8831]

Beautiful job on the fencing. I'm sure it is nice to have that large job done. Great teamwork! Look forward to your upcoming projects.

[@craig9843]

Such a beautiful area. Happy for you and can't wait to see your tiny house in its new location. Have followed you for a few years, but I'm glad to see you more here lately. I think you told me you don't get much wind at your old place, but it seems it will be much windier here in the place.

[@FyNyth]

It's similar as far as general area, but due to less trees here right now, there is some more wind. We're planting as fast as we can so in a couple years that should change. :)

[@elisabethm9655]

Those last scraps will make a nice little trellis for beans or tomatoes 🤗❤️

[@James-Jacobsen]

Those small cut offs from the fence can be used to get extra traction if you get stuck in the snow. Throw them behind or under the seat. I am from Idaho and you just never know about the weather. Nice job.

[@anneirenej]

Omg. I can drag the cattle panels around but they are so hard. It is so much easier with two. Your fence looks great.
