About Us:
We are Ian & Julie, undertaking the biggest project of our lives - the children have grown up and have started their own families, so now it's our turn. Join us as we create our tiny 1 acre homestead from scratch as well as self constructing our off grid sustainable home. We take on new skills along the way from laying a concrete slab to roofing and electrical. Follow us on our off grid journey to a totally debt free life allowing us to live self sufficiently as well as earning a small income from the fresh organic produce from our land here in the heart of the French Pyrenees.

I loved the professional drone flying at the end of the vid !

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thanks 👍lol😂

[@dougtravins9624]

Now you have peace of mind with your watering system while you are away. Have a fruitful trip! And be safe!!

[@chrishrabe4617]

Great ending!

[@richardbodor3318]

WOW the poly tunnel plants look great. You need a few cats to keep your tunnel thief in line, but I suppose the hens keep you from having cats! I really enjoy these videos and schedule my day around them! Great progress and cheers from the USA ♥

[@duncanblanchard334]

Whoops, hope the drone survived. Maybe when the big digger comes to level the plot for the house it could also grade down the steep grass bank so you could cut it all with the tractor, just a thought. Cheers.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We have thought of that but just worried I may be draining too much too quickly on our neighbours fields

[@harryiv6107]

Awesome little job done!!! The drone footage was great.

[@MOAJackson-u9f]

What a huge improvement! That solar panel will make all the difference in the world! Great job with the mount Ian! 🎊🎊🎊. Julie, the poly tunnel looks amazing! I am jealous! 😆😆😆. Thank you both for sharing with us 🤩🤩🤩!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thanks 👍

[@2010wembley]

As I understand it Ian when connected to the ‘load’ on the controller the power supplied is from whatever is supplied by the panel at that time. When connected to the battery it supplies whatever power is stored in the battery. So as an example if you wanted to run the pump at night it would have to be connected to the battery as the panel cannot supply it without sunlight.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you - that makes sense- it is working great at the moment. 😀

[@lorrainebayford177]

Nice drone flying there Ian 😂😂😂😂

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thanks 👍

[@georgewest2096]

Nice garden, I am learning more and more about solar.

[@dcov3967]

Good to see the drone flying, glad to see not the only person who can crash their drone into the trees. :)

[@rolandleusden]

From the manual: Low voltage load disconnect 11,1V Low voltage load reconnect 13,1V "The intelligent Load output function prevents damage caused by running batteries 'flat'. You can configure the voltage at which BlueSolar disconnects a load - thereby preventing excessive drain on your batteries."

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thanks for that - just annoyed I didn’t catch the lack of Bluetooth - and just to rub it in they sent a 2nd one by mistake without bluetooth…😂

[@grahamkearnon6682]

For everyone's sake please cover your battery & gubbins, something solid ie Tyson proof. Bored horses can do a lot of damage to equipment & themselves, remember it's not their fault.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

If it was any other horse I would do so, but old Tyson cannot be bothered - at 37 years old he just eats and sleeps. 😬

[@margaretmacinnis1781]

I am wondering if you can diagram where the polytunnel and horse stable are in relation to the project site? It would help to orient viewers on the proximity of one to the other. Thx!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We will do a walk around and a catch up soon

[@Sammost24]

Hi Ian and Julie. Can I just ask what are those things on Ian's arms?

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

I have tennis elbow in both arms at the moment - so they grip the muscle in place.

[@Mr19chuck49]

😊😊

[@rjung_ch]

Hey, you made it afterall?

[@anthonywilson2346]

Poly tunnel is looking great

[@MagnusKoldau]

Hello Julie and Ian, my wife Vanessa, my daughter and I life on a "life style block" (New Zealand term for a smallholding) near Nelson, on NZ's South Island. We LOVE your KZbin videos! We are excited to hopefully soon buy a mini excavator, a remote control lawnmower and posssibly a 25ton wood splitter. Since I have watched your and other's KZbin videos (lots) and did internet trawling on mini excavator facebook groups I think there is a good chance all of them will come from Nuoman, in one order - You bought the mower direct from Nuoman, i.e. without Alibaba. Would you still do that? - I assume you ordered and paid Nuoman "CIF", i.e. you paid for the machine, insurance and freight to Marseille, with all handling costs after arrival in Marseille then to be paid by you. Correct? Would you still do that? Thank you for your help!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Thank you so much - so the Skid Steer was delivered directly to door. This was a more expensive option but it is a guaranteed price. I just asked for a $800 cutter to be delivered and the shipping direct to door was €1000 which includes duties and VAT etc. It would be worth asking them for a quote on it all. Contact Helen - [e-mail] They seem to be overwhelmed at the moment with orders but mention my name (I do not have any affiliation but they seem to be using all my videos). Let me know how you get on.

[@MagnusKoldau]

@@HomesteadingUncontained Muuuch appreciated! "I just asked for a $800 cutter to be delivered and the shipping direct to door was €1000 which includes duties and VAT etc. " What was the "$800 cutter"? The robot mower? So €1000, including everything, delivered to door? Thank you for the contact at Nuoman!

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

@@MagnusKoldau no - it was for the front of the skid steer.
