Hi! We're Nick and Jen, a retired military veteran of 14 years and professional dancer/entertainer at Coyote Ugly Bar. Together, we decided to sell everything and break free of the glitz, glam and chaos of city life to move off gird. We live on our 20 acres of remote land in the mountains of Southern Utah.
We’re trying to be as self sufficient as possible by installing all our own utilities and doing everything DIY with as much modern technology as can make happen. Living off grid is about the freedom to build our own path one plank at a time. Life, indeed, is Elevated Off Grid. Come along and see what life is like as we continue to build our property and adventure around Southern Utah's mountains.

Your wood shed is just how I would do it, no square corners, you use wood from Nature and nothing is square in Nature. xxxx ❤️💙❤️💙

[@peterrowellranson8649]

Nick remember what the lady said the hospital is an hour away be careful up there love you guys Pete cape Town south Africa 🇿🇦 😊

[@hendo19742]

MORE THAN A FEW SAFFERS WATCHING THIS CHANNEL!👍🇿🇦🇬🇧 CAPETONIAN 👍

[@moyashisoba]

I love that you give that freedom to your kids. This way they have all the fun but also grow up being responsible.

[@freddien7]

Good job on the shed and having a good clear up. Love Jens commentary and dancing,😆

[@larryperdue508]

Having a horse 🐎 is just like any other pet 😊

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

They look to be a lot more expensive. Last time i checked i didn't need a trailer to take the dog to the park! lol

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Come on, mom, they want to go fast 😂😂! Nick, the wood shed came out awesome 👌

[@smarthome2660]

Hey yall, I live alone and I am efficient when it comes to food and packaging. I produce so little garbage, I wash my garbage so it doesn't attract bugs. Our area just gave us those large wheeled garbage cans and it takes 6 weeks to make enough garbage to even fill up a tall kitchen garbage bag for me. In summer my cats poo outside so I don't need to change their litter as often. I used to rinse and toss the wet cat food tins into my recycle, but with everything going up, I stated holding onto them so I can get paid to recycle them as they are aluminum. 720 cans per year has to be worth something more than nothing.. Last year I used those tins to make passive solar collectors to help heat my home. Riveted together and painted flat black, stick in a window and they get quite hot. They saved 25% on energy to heat my home on sunny winter days. My home is extremely large, so I hang onto cardboard boxes and make forts for my cats. I change them often to spark interest in my cats during the winter, when they cant go outside.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

wow! that is interesting! Our cats are mousers and they get most of the bugs and critters that go to the trash. Isn't the circle of life and recycling amaxing. Most of our trash is plastic, glass & metals.

[@monstirz]

After two girls inherit the family ranch they decide to build up the herd and they needed a bull. The brunette tells the blonde she is going to the stockyard to by a bull and hopes to get it for 600. Upon purchase the blonde was suppose to come with the trailer and pick it up. The auctioneer says he can not sell it but for 599. So the brunette goes to the telegraph office to send her sister a message. The price was 99 cents a word. So the brunette says send the word comfortable. The clerk says how is that going to work and she says Come-for-da-bull.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

oh my gosh! That is hilarious!

[@jameskotsch8271]

Glad to hear you guys are regular, LOL. A dump trailer probably would be a great purchase.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

you caught that joke! nice lol

[@Kristina_Australia]

12:16 I agree Jen, "looks good to me" also. Those mic's are working very well, you won't need to yell or be concerned about hearing over the wind. It's a wood shed, it needs to be quirky and doesn't need to be fully 'square'. Great job. 👍 Also the benefit of having your own dump trailer is that you don't need to 'transfer' your rubbish, so no (or minimal) rehandling. And lets face it, no unwanted critters finding a permanent supply 😉

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

Thank you and yes, a dump trailer in the future would be awesome! Those critters are a pain in the boot!

[@larryperdue508]

Just take one panel of roofing and cut a little off of each end for a little or no over hang. Easy peezy 😊

[@walterwilson8948]

Alsome great kids you two have raised and they are awesome to watch them being themselves and not have to worry about what is going on in the real world and how freedom is trying to be taken away from their lives for ever. Two wonderful parents and may GOD BLESS You all ❤❤ Have a wonderful journey through the rest of your life's

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

Our kids' future is one of the main reasons in moving from the city. Thank you for noticing. We'll take all the blessings we can get and appreciate them very much. Thank you, God bless you and your family as well.

[@Oldfunnylady1965]

Horse are more than owning a boat. If you know the theory of a boat. ( break out another thousand ) you’re lucky if that’s all it is with a horse. But they are fun to love on. Also. Fries and fry sauce from junction. Just the best 😊

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

I hear you, we're talking with a couple people who do horseback riding lessons in town, we'll see if she even likes it. I loved when my family had horses but they are expensive. I agree, love fry sauce and the junction! I need to get over there for a burger. yum

[@joeharwellauthor9317]

Well done she'd.

[@amystith2402]

Horses can be very expensive, and a lot of work. I’d definitely have her take riding/care lessons for an extended period of time before even thinking about getting one.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

Hey Amy, I'm working on that right now. I found a couple local people that do horseback riding lessons. xoxo

[@dmorgan28]

Good job on the wood shed. Have a Happy Mother’s Day. 👍❤️

[@ransomtester5347]

Good afternoon Great weekend 👍✌️🙏

[@larryperdue508]

I bet a rescue chopper would get there alot faster.

[@Unclejojo330]

Great job on the wood shed. Wearing new boots roofing a pain Nick. Now a foot rub from momma🤣🤣🤣

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

I'm not gonna let Nick see this comment. lol

[@daveallison1888]

You should of put osb on roof then cover with metal roofing

[@wendyhall1395]

The luck is running out of your horseshoe! lol Good job!

[@debbies3872]

Need to put waterproofing on wood shed floor. Good job guys

[@diyhandcraftedlifestyle9151]

You are doing a really good job of conquering your fear of heights.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

Nick is right! We just have to keep cheering him on!

[@laurenm8561]

Could you use the rest of the pallets to put the wood on for easier hauling to the house in the winter. Could you layer of the pallets with wood for aeration and easier lift transport to the deck? I don’t know how high those things go, I’m just a girl lol.

[@ld5714]

Wood shed turned out great. The floor should be water sealed to make it last longer. Going to the dump is one of those things you simply need to do but it makes such a big difference when done you don't mind doing it. Getting a dump trailer will be good for you guys. You'll then make more frequent runs to the dump and it won't be such an ugly task. Plus the place will look cleaner all the time because you can clean up more frequently and get ride of it easier. Have a great week you guys. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

Thank you for your support. Yes, a sump trailer is almost a necessity.

[@elwoodlindquist9324]

Nice job on the wood shed should work nothing like dry wood to burn.

[@BobSmith-wh9hz]

Great job. You may want to seal the floor with some type of coating. 👍👍

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

I have seen a couple of these comments. You guys have a good point if OSB gets wet it won't last very long. I'll talk to Nick about it.

[@WCGore]

Hope you seal or paint the floor😎 You’ve come a long way baby!!

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

I hadn't planned on it. is there a reasoning to Sealing or Painting it?

[@WCGore]

Moisture/water sitting on top of RSB can promo rapid rot and decay. Just mix some old oil with a little diesel and mop the schit out of it!😜

[@wadeprior5203]

Good morning, how are you guys doing today?Hope everybody's having a wonderful Day Out there.Keep up the good work.I'm proud of you guys.Could you guys later have a wonderful day❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

Thank you so much,. You have a wonderful day as well.

[@nancysimpson4246]

Hi guys, I really enjoy your videos. Learn something every time. I watch them love the music you play. Jen let Nick cut his hair. Yes, let him shave it bald he would look really good like that yes.

[@waderue]

that wood shed looks great nice jobs guy

[@mg9510]

The build is looking great😊 Please turn your horse shoe around....catch the good luck, don't pour out the good luck...😮

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

on it!!! Thank you

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Love that wood shed! It's Perfect!!!! God bless you and your family!

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

thank you, God bless you as well.

[@daveallison1888]

You need a burn pit on your property

[@coralsancetta7242]

Get Ricky to do the work involved in caring for a horse as well as riding. They are hard work to maintain. Also try leasing first when the time is right. Buyer always beware.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

good to know, didn't know you could lease them. where do you start to search on leasing a horse?

[@coralsancetta7242]

I'm from Australia here you can lease before you buy, to find out contact horse groups in your area, you will need a bomb oroof pony fir Ricky. Make sure they are a reputable company or stable. Get her to join a riding school where she can learn what is needed to care for a horse. It's far more involved than just riding. Riding lessons are a good beginning.

[@richie9005]

You may want to seal the OSB blowing winds will blow snow or rain in there .. OSB will be swelling and destroyed in no time

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

i will tell Nick to do that for sure. I have seen a few comments saying this now.

[@roniwerner4598]

That looks so great ❤

[@philmason7616]

great looking wood shed guys love it! anddd nothing better than a good dump 😅😅😅

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

lol

[@ronsommer9409]

@4:34 The second sheet of roofing is backwards. The rib with the longer edge goes on the bottom. @5:56 You can see that the top rib is not seated correctly, because the seam has two bottom ribs. I cannot tell if other sheets are backwards. Hopefully you did not make this mistake on the apartment roof.

[@stevenhartley1350]

The shed looks fantastic but unfortunately they are not available in the UK 😢. But the wood shed looks awesome, however I would have used pallets for the floor as it would allow air to circulate from the bottom too. Also it would have been 2 pallets deep and 4 1/2 across 😊. I must admit I have loved watching your videos as it allows me to live vicariously through you both, as I would never be able to do what you two do as I’m disabled and in the UK. Besides land in the UK is either stupid money or protected (which means you can’t build on it 😢).

[@brendamelander5942]

Looks good even if it’s more than a hair out of square.

[@gardnerwilson57]

Growing up as a youngster we lived out in the middle of nowhere. We had like you tons (?) of garbage to contend with. My mom once a week would burn our garbage and once every few months or so would take whatever did not burn to the dumpsite. Burning our garbage reduced our need for landfill trips greatly. So why can't you do the same thing? It saves trips to the dump and is less burdensome for the landfill. Just suggesting..... Firewood shed turned out fantastic by the way. ..... Me southern AZ.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

i agree with you, we burn as well. Im not a fan of burning plastic, metal or glass though. That all has to be dumped. Mostly because it doesnt really burn. Most of what is in the dump tailer is that. thank you so much! AZ is awesome, You have some beautiful scenery aroudn there!

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@joseluisaguilar7153]

Wouldn't it be better to put pallets on the floor rather then osb so it will last longer

[@kathyk9519]

Great job!

[@kimberlycampbell7613]

You need to drill some small holes in the bottom of that OSB for airflow

[@johnschall7855]

Maybe use pallets on the floor for easy fire wood removal with the for lift.

[@shindees7676]

Hey guys, I mentioned this before, but I think it might be worth mentioning again. There might be something up with your YT settings. I am surprised why your subscribers are not growing cos ye are so good. When I see your channel it shows just left of the subscribe button the bell but with yours the bell is always greyed out with a line across it, (like not in use if you know what I mean). I have only ever seen this on your channel and never on any other channel I subscribe to. So I am wondering with algorithms on YT if this has some thing to do with your numbers. I am only trying to help. I am happy to send you a screen shot of what I see, just let me know,

[@DanielFachner]

Nice job. I would paint the floor before you stack wood as OSB won't hold up getting wet from rain.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

I keep seeing this in the comments, I'll tell Nick to do it! Thanks for the heads up!

[@loucinci3922]

Wood shed looks so good. Nice job.

[@craftman5632]

Hey exposed OSB board in the weather won't last long, should of put decking board down. But anyway it looks good from my house. 😜

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

I have seen this comment a few times! Agree! I told Nick, Thank you

I have confidence in the water filling of the tanks. Is there any chance we could share a little time with you going on filling them again.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

Hopefully the station with be up and running soon. We'll be doing a lot of hauls here soon.ya, we can film it.

[@dougmacrae9535]

And now you have a stage for your kids.😆😆

[@kevinstenholm40]

You should be wearing leather gloves when handling metal. Remember you're an hour away from the hospital 😉

[@brandonisaacs4080]

what a nice place for snakes

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

i was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if we should put a "cat house" close by.

[@reneerussell9625]

If you do decide to get the kids a horse have a look at horse plus humane society or horse plus hero's....they have many horses up for adoption and they can find the best fit for you as well as giving a horse a loving forever home

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

great idea, if she really enjoys it. We'll look into those organizations.

[@danielmedeiros469]

what. make do you use for a drone the videos are Beautiful that you capture

[@williamberry9237]

Good video. You have the overlap on the first two sheets roofing lapped incorrectly. Side with out turned flat edge goes down first.

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

I thought that was the way we did it... I'll have to ask Nick.

[@connyscheringa6106]

✌💗💗🤗

[@redc8783]

Give Ricky the riding experience, but she must spend the time in care and feeding a Horse. I’ve seen it to many times, and the horse ends up in the back yard, bored, hungry, and develops a lot of bad habits and even get sick easy. 😖

[@lifeelevatedoffgrid]

i agree, we're gonna try some lessons before we jump in and buy.

[@redc8783]

You may want to look at a lease / rent, after the lessons and you get closer to a buy. That way if it doesn’t work out you’re not stuck with an animal you have to feed and / or sell.

I am proof it grows back I never shaved it before the Air Force now I like it even after 37 years after basic. It just makes it so much cooler during the summer.

To bad a company won't put a dumpster on the property for you.

You might as well have just put cardboard down as a floor. Come on Nick

lol We'll get it sealed!
