This BUILD Will SAVE Us $$$$ | SHED Base

Our biggest goal while building our homestead from scratch is to remain debt free. We are excited to get more storage on our homestead, clean out our storage unit and have one less bill to pay. This week we build a platform that our new metal shed will sit on.

I've watched your channel from the beginning and I love what you are doing together. You make my day! As an "in my 80's" retired Marine you give me hope for our country"s future and the future of our children. God Bless!!

[@lilliedavis3102]

I love to watch you guys doing whatever you are doing. Wish your videos were longer.

[@billroberts3864]

You folks are a heart-warming team and work well together as you work on projects. You say positive, supportive and encouraging things to each other and you model how a married couple should function so you kids learn how to be positive with each other. The deck will be a great foundation for the shed. Many blessings to all of you.

[@susantraylor1604]

I hope you have a planned to keep the rats out of your furniture in the shed. Love your videos

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Natalie, youlr editing is so good. You had some really neat sped up parts. Thanks for sharing.

[@SpaceForce2019]

You guys are really good at the montage, love those!! I get so many good ideas for my builds from watching you guys. And you're such nice people. Would love to have you guys for a neighbor. Stay safe!

[@itsjubilee2012]

I am loving the progress that you guys are making. The hard working family on KZbin❤❤❤ Blessings to you and your family

[@mrssmith7234]

Getting really good with the editing skills Nat! Awesome job as always!

[@tinareddick]

Your channel is my favorite 😍

[@joanpodmjerski9330]

Working hard in the snow.😍🥰😊😉🫠🙃🙂👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🫶🫶🫶🫶

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

Nicely done! : )

[@billm5433]

Great job. Dad bought 4 railroad refrigerated boxcars for storage, 2 on my place, 1 on my sisters, and he kept 1. They were $1500-2000 each delivered. They removed the wheels and put them on 8-10 railroad ties. Great storage,

[@billm5433]

This was in 1986, he was an fireman/engineer on the railroad for 42 years.

[@myrigarou]

Thanks you for the video, it looks already great!

[@brendarice5287]

I love that you make your own gravel . I was watching a show about the most expensive thing in world that cost the most and gravel was more than gold or anything. 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@marvettebarkerthompson455]

That's the best idea. Build your own shed and stop paying rental. It pays for itself in the end. Plus your stuff is right there on your property...very accessible.

[@jamisonhedges1798]

might think about putting some ground anchors in and tying that platform down so a wind does not get under it and sends it somewhere you do not want it to go.

[@wadeprior5203]

Hey good morning good afternoon hope you guys are having a wonderful day looks like you got a lot of snow out there so what's the next project you can go to start building the house and other stuff I guess so all right you folks have a great day and have fun out there just be careful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jacquescavaille]

Bonjour , j'adore tout ce que vous faites tous les deux et parfois avec les enfants . Cette fois ci je voulais dire que la musique en début de la vidéo est super jolie , merci pour cette mélodie avec le son du banjo 👍🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷

[@brendarice5287]

Great job guys and loved the video 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@taliandzelda5006]

Natalie is beautiful all the time but the snow in her hair, she looks magical.

[@buskerjames]

Another fine video as always thank you from Calgary Canada

[@rudyfisher7660]

You know, another thing is before you put that down if you'll turn it upside down and put bubble. The little full bubble around underneath it are against the plywoodto where mice do not like it. They will not eat it. They will not chew on it for some reason. I've seen several people do that. And they say it works wonderful. But it's only like a eighth of an inch to a quarter of an inch thick, and it's just a bubble rap. It's got air pockets and you can buy it, and you put it on there and then you put your plow. You put it on your studs and then you put. I went down in the my do not eat through it

[@phuongvo3051]

Are you consider build a storage house ? You have kids they are growing and have their own stuff later on , the storage they could use for their bike , dirt bike , I’m so impressed what you both did , taking care of the kids and build your own home at the same time , what a great effort job , your children such a great kids , with a lot of respect and moral , I could see there is a bright path you walk in to success

[@rubybirdseye1503]

That looks great!! So much hard work!! So worth it to get rid of the expense of a storage unit

[@sarahschlosser1203]

I recently found your channel and been binge watching. Have really enjoyed seeing what your family is doing.

[@John-kl3ue]

Love this channel ..Nat what a trouper out their working just as hard ! Loving the journey ..look forward to every Monday morning….From outback Western Australia..we’re it’s a warm 45 C daily atm ..👍

[@richardzahn7570]

Love to see the weather...nice adaptation working in it and preparing for the next day, great platform for the shed, cant wait to see it done...its all coming together...thanks for sharing

[@loucinci3922]

Super smart move getting rid of the storage unit in town.

[@kennethhudson8013]

You kids are smart! Reuse instead of new!

[@johnbellrose9165]

Steady progress means before you know it you'll have houseb and a fully a fully functional off grid property

[@steelexpress_1]

Great work as usual. I can’t wait for the house build to start…. That Little Rock crusher is worth it weight in gold what a great buy..🎉🎉❤❤

[@mablemullen5190]

What an awesome idea to get the rock crusher!

[@estellaknox9285]

The snow is so beautiful

[@lyndamcclain8795]

Of course you were going to use those forms. It will be nice to have your "stuff" at your place instead of paying to store it.

[@murraydorrofield4826]

You guys are my wife and I’s favourite channel look forward every week to see what you build

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

You guys have a great channel. Bin binge watching. I need to get started on my channel. Need to build a timber frame shop, a shed and a sugar shack among other things. My shop equipment is in storage so I know the stress relief of getting your stuff on your dirt. The rock crusher is a grand idea. Funny thing is that any job is always more work than expected. LOL

[@todstrucks2919]

Nice start I love repurposing Material. 👍

[@Step-n-Wolf]

Back in Concho to work on my driveway. Have 2 crews coming tomorrow. Don't have the snow you do.

[@andysocial2557]

The rock crusher was a good investment....

[@carlaechols8427]

So excited for y’all 😊😊😊 can’t wait for the next video

[@gillyb333]

Great video love watching you guys build xxx

[@ronkort8927]

Another great job’!

[@brendarice5287]

Who would have thought that not me 😘👍🏻lol

[@susanmcclure327]

Another great video. ❤

[@kennethhudson8013]

Over builders! best way to build!

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@Trishisadish]

I love how your homestead is growing.. i missed seeing your kids.. they are a pip! Will you tie down the shed? Hurricane ties? With a metal shed it might take off with a gust of wind and being off the ground?

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

We may anchor it down. We'll have so much stuff in it that I don't think it will go anywhere. We don't get hurricanes or tornadoes here. Thanks 🙂

[@susanjoyce5097]

Good work

[@willglueck3156]

👏👍

[@shesoutthere387]

Have you put a roof on the root cellar yet? We are building a root cellar too out of cinder blocks and cement.

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

That won't happen till we pour the slab for the house. Thanks 🙂

[@Sol-x]

Question: I am working on a cost analysis of the viability of your Rock pulverizer (Rocksand). Looking at one in my neck of the woods, used, in good shape, 3k bucks. I can work out all the math except for one prime factor involving buy rocks direct or the rock crusher. Can speculate costs but that of course is always inaccurate over a 10% waste expectation. Perhaps you can help. How much would you calculate your total expenses are for a road 100 yards long. including all fuel and repairs you have encountered. Also including the transportation cost not limited to travel times for parts or materials. IE.. your loader fuel needed for material handling. ATV costs and so on. You are the modern-day pioneers so Am not factoring in labor elements. Very much enjoy watching your works and thank you for sharing with others. Imagine if KZbin was available back in the 1800's of pioneers in their time. all the lost knowledge we could have had in today's age. Thanks

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

That's kind of hard to answer since we haven't been keeping track. But a ballpark answer for 100 yards of road would be 60 to 70 bucks. That's with fuel, repairs, and grease. Take into consideration that that's with our unit. A different unit may need more or less repairs. Thanks for asking, and good luck. 🙂

[@kennethhudson8013]

Have you ever thought about making your own cement with wood ash,stone dust, sand, gravel?

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

We haven't. Didn't know that was possible. Thanks 🙂

[@krokk4life]

wow, lots of snow there. What part of Northern AZ are you in? I am looking as well. You look like great neighbors!

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

We are in the white mountains area. Thanks 🙂

[@JohnBennett-kx3mt]

Hey guys, love the channel, however, on this video I noticed you crossing your arms when using the mistress saw. If you value your left arm I suggest you learn to use your hands correctly. Other than that you guys rock or boulder 😂

[@kj6297]

I know this is off topic for this video but what watt solar panels do you use?

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

They are 300 watts at 48 volts. Thanks 🙂

[@kj6297]

Thanks! Love your adventures!!!

[@katewest130]

Natalie, where is your hat for cryin’ out loud?????

[@kennethhudson8013]

Used motor oil on exposed wood as stain

[@hpw59]

But sho sugi ban first

[@hpw59]

Look like you are putting a monkey skull in the Rock Crusher at 8:15😅

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

​@hpw59 I guess it kind of does 😆. Good catch

[@HalsPals]

You all probably moved off-grid to get away from "snowflakes". Didn't happen. lol

[@gregwarne3252]

hope you dont mean native animals that had a home there first

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

Yup
