This man says "no mortgage, so please don't judge". Like I could ever have a bad thing to say about people who are making their own way and living their life in the free and clear. A house takes time to build, but building a home is a labor of love which is never done. Thanks for the video. I'm interesting in buying Starlink in the future and this video is helpful.

You have to think about Emergencies and Hospitals when you live out in the rural areas. What if you fell off that old ladder and was seriously hurt. How far do you have to drive to the nearest hospital? I warned a friend of mine about this in Wyoming and sure enough he had a heart attack and died in the car while his wife was driving him 80 miles to the nearest hospital in Cheyenne Wyoming. I want Starlink in order to get rid of the other internet providers in the cities.

Great job! We just got our Starlink a couple of weeks ago, we were on the waitlist for a year and a half, it's working great. We are so thrilled with it. That's how we found your video, great information. Hope all is ok with you guys! We were hoping to see more videos of your home building project. Take care!

Distance from the router in your house will make a significant difference at those speeds - you should try to locate the router more centrally in your house. Your house looks really awesome and I'm looking forward to following the rest of the build!

Wow. I did what you're doing back in 1994. I went on a mortgage free journey from one property to another, back when real estate was making money. I get a feeling of nostalgia watching what you're doing. I've been on satellite "broadband" for 23 years, and I am so excited I can hardly wait! Best wishes.

[@angadsingh9314]

Initial cost is expensive tho

[@japzone]

@@angadsingh9314 For rural areas the price is considered reasonable compared to how much normal satellite and fixed wireless hardware and setup tends to cost. Heck, even in not rural areas I've met people who live just outside a cable/fibre ISP's network(like long driveway away from their cables) and are quoted in the multiple thousand dollar range just to run a cable to their house.

The carbon build up that will occur on the antenna is probably not good

[@d1oftwins]

As far as I learned from other Starlink videos the surface of the dish has some Teflon like coating to counter collecting sediments of the environment.

[@DannyWalker247]

I would put that dish down on ground level near the house where I could keep an eye on it better. If you could shorten the cable run and hard wire the devices it might be even better.

[@kitecattestecke2303]

@@DannyWalker247 why mit on a pole obove yozr gzead and view? Could make a swivel Mount for a flag :-) Internet flag and just bgring it down before storm

[@ikkuranus]

@@DannyWalker247 That seems pointless as ethernet is designed to run up to 100m and that cable is already roughly 1/3 of that.

[@fredashay]

Yeah, I would have mounted the antenna on an iron pipe a foot or two above ground in a concrete base for easy access to clean it. The few extra feet of height on the roof will make no difference when transmitting to a satellite.

[@KarlBerlin]

Great video guys 👍❤️❤️

[@RelentlessHomesteading]

Very nice -- right move on getting the house done w/o mortgage. Decent video editing for a newer KZbinr. We got a deep fixer about 9 years ago - here in WA about an hour out of Portland - took 3 1/2 years before we moved from our trailer into the house. But well worth it. Ya take some lumps and suffer a little - but the lessons learned and the sweat equity makes it all worth while. ==> Kudos on the StarLink -- sadly we hadn't heard about it until last month and we signed immediately; so still haven't received an invite. We had Hughes net originally - HORRIBLE crooks. We were supposed to get over 1 mbps - and got 0.1 mbps according to every legit speed test; but Hughes net insisted their equipment showed we were getting 1 mbps. Then we found a terrestial link - but it was only a few mbps down and less than 1 mbps up - which is a problem for KZbin and in recent years more because I do all the multiple camera video editing for our church each week - before Covid I could upload a single sermon in about 24-30 hours (if it didn't crash) and if I didn't use the I'net for my work - now its totally NA; and trips to church to do an upload are really a hassle. We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to this Star Link !! Has Idaho made its building codes more stringent in recent years. We've followed many KZbinrs from Idaho (Starry Hilder [now no longer in Idaho]; Pure Living for Life and our favorite is Red Poppy Ranch. They all spoke about how easy it was to deal with these issues in Idaho. Our place was luckily grandfathered in as built in 1965 - but otherwise we'd have really had to jump through tons of red tape. All the best to you two - I'll check out some more of your channel.

[@amongthepines2031]

Congrats on getting in and finishing the remodel. The struggle is definitely worth it and it creates some fun memories that may not seem like fun at the time. I write this as Sierra does the dishes in our only sink (the bathroom sink). Saving up for some kitchen cabinets. Sorry to hear about your bad internet. I know the struggle being a former hughesnet guy about 30 minutes south of Canada. I'd usually just drive to town and download a bunch at the local coffee shop. Terrible. I'm glad HN will eventually get put in their place (in a non-vindictive sort of way). It looks like they are offering their services to some very northern areas right now, and southern Canada, but I'm sure they'll be rolling it out soon enough. I saw that Starlink just received a bunch of state grants, so that should speed things up. Idaho is generally pretty easy to build in. I have built in three counties now (all panhandle), and haven't had any real issues. All can be done DIY style and just has to be approved by the *usually* helpful state inspector (electrical, plumbing, HVAC). Other than that as long as you're outside the city limits, it's generally very limited government intervention. Thanks and take care,

[@magnamic5614]

I can't believe you didn't film Dishy reorienting though LOL! Sorry I love seeing it move around. Great video guys!

[@fritzkabeano1969]

Sure you even need the ridge mount for optimum reception? Although it's nice having it "out of the way" when you really get hammered by snow climbing that ladder to clear it off is going to get real old real quick. Time will tell. On another note your place looks great! Looks like you've got 10 projects going at once. Good luck!

[@joshuaguenin9507]

Its heated

[@japzone]

Have some family that, while not the middle of nowhere, hate their local ISP options. They're currently on spotty Verizon DSL, which charges them $40/mo for 2Mbps, and it cuts out randomly all the time. The only thing good about it is that there's at least no data cap. They're basically waiting on either TMobile Home or StarLink to support their area. Whichever shows up first is basically guaranteed their money.

The smoke from the chimney could sometimes affect your connection too. So, you should have the Starlink dish away from it.
