Family REBUILDS Torn ShelterLogic with Barn Doors, Earthbag Walls, Metal Roofing & Solar System

[@christopherfisher128]

I've been subbed, and watching, for a few months now & the one big take away I have is that you 2 are way too hard on yourselves. I have seen many videos where you apologize for not knowing everything, not getting enough done, having slow paced videos etc. So I wanted to say that I'd suggest you take a second, and reconcile just how HUGE your project/s actually are. You are doing things most people simply can't. And the fact that it may not all come together in the most "Insta fabulous" manner is not relevant. You & Your fam are living a great series of adventures and not destroying yourselves in the process. All of this is inspiring, and connecting thousands of other people and at the end of all of this, you'll have an actual home, that you are truly invested in. How is that not a great life? Take care of yourselves, and keep doing the things! :)

Could not have said it better.

[@cculler52]

Exactly!

[@sharonheron7559]

These custom built buildings look so much better than any shipping container! They blend with your surroundings. Well done!

[@verasaucedo8876]

They all look Good, Containers and This Too !

[@funtyes1970]

if you don't spend good money on them temporary garage polyethylene cover doesn't last long you be lucky you get 1-2 years out of it. yes, shipping containers not cheap but it sure well build out of heavy steel. shit some people build homes out of them shipping containers and they look good to just saying

[@colly1952]

I just love how your buildings blend in with nature.

[@Pamtorres2003]

I just watched this in 2024. I loved seeing young, wonderful, and oh so helpful Nine-Nine. Aren't you glad he taught all of your cats about building, so they can make sure everything is built right? Lol.

[@iamcat281]

This was actually one of my favorite videos. Very informative with the start to finish and a cost breakdown. Thank you for sharing this one!

[@wt_9026]

And YAY new drone footage showing no red bags!! I almost missed that (don't tell anyone I multitask listening to y'all or other videos while working)

[@askunclemason2940]

@7:07 Wait! We need glasses... LOVE IT!!!! The 10 year old gets it!

[@sth.777]

They look amazing! Shelter Logic should be paying you for upgrading their crappy tarp products with a brilliant "hack"! They'll definitely be a solid structure now. Maybe one day, when you're bored 😉, you can bag over the tin roofs and make them solid AND cool inside! The cats have a luxury apartment, now, too. 😊

[@michelewalters9421]

Hold on Shelter Logic makes a pretty good product and they have provided warranty replacements. Its just the harsh dessert weather that does not help.

[@sth.777]

@@michelewalters9421 That's true; but do they make one specifically for that environment? Just curious, because if they don't, they should...

[@judyschepp8748]

Hi Everyone, I was born in Yuma, Az. and we moved to a small town in Wilcox where we lived till I was 12 yrs. old when we moved to New Mexico. Anyway thanks so much for this beautiful video!! Brings back great memories👍🤗😁

[@theusconstitution1776]

So you save the money you built sheds that you know aren’t going anywhere and when your children are 60 years old and you may possibly have passed on your children will remember every hour of every one of these days and it’ll warm their hearts great job mom and dad❤️❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

Hip Hip Hooray you all worked together and got it done. One more step to making the homestead more enjoyable.

[@krystawitt]

I just moved to Cochise County 3 months ago. I also bought two 12' x 20' ShelterLogic buildings. Within a few weeks, one went belly-up...looked like a turtle stuck on its back...lol. The wind here in unforgiving! I am trying to go 'off-grid'. It is challenging for sure. Especially since I am a 56 yr old single woman doing it all by myself. But I am going to win!! Thank you for all your inspiring videos. I have learned a lot and you have given me great ideas!

[@cculler52]

The 70's will start to slow you down. 56 is still all systems go. Best wishes to you.

[@johntillotson4254]

Bless you mam

[@squirrely1926]

Absolutely love that your kids are helping, The life lessons they are learning they would never get in school. Great job. I love your videos

[@alanballard2841]

I enjoy watching your work. it would have been better if the light colour were on the outside, it will keep the internal temperature down. Light colours reflect the suns rays.

[@PabloP169]

I think that the earth bag rear walls was an excellent idea. I watched every minute, and found it very interesting and helpful for others wanting to do something similsr.

[@chriss-nf1bd]

White on the outside would help keep the place cooler in your sheds.

[@TinyShinyHome]

would also stand out and we dont want to stand out out here :)

[@annewendt8434]

Brilliant! Clever music match up, wonderful photography, hugely valuable information organized and delivered in a super organized fashion. Such a gift to anyone in the future who is considering this type of thing! Thank you for this great video!!

[@melissalee4933]

Mama’s eyes are gorgeous! I love how you converted the shelter logic. Awesome

[@JudyHart1]

I lived in Hereford for 21 years, I love all the familiar foliage, the thorns on the mesquite and the century plant. The elements can be pretty strong, unless you live there, you’d never guess the strength of the wind and rain, especially during monsoon. Those mountains with the afternoon sun, sigh. Miss that, especially the patches of aspen trees turning gold in the fall.

[@BarbaraMcLamb]

If you had bought a pre built building of any kind you still would have had the electrical cost, so looks like to me, you made the correct choice. I ran across your videos last week and have been playing catch up starting from the time you found the property and started the buying process. Playing skip around a bit but thoroughly enjoying the videos. So sorry for your loss, my heart hurts for you. I was totally in love with that boy

[@sabijoli]

What a delightful bonus for today! Thanks for sharing so many of your excellent creative endeavors 💜

[@leesasees]

New sub here, watched all the way through and I am impressed! At 71 yrs young watching you all makes me want to be young again. Good on you.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Aww thanks for watching and glad to have you here!

[@merindahthornton5080]

Like all of your projects, these buildings are so beautiful. You took something ugly and broken and made them beautiful and functional. You guys are awesome!

[@pmae9010]

I like the way you two think, why buy it when you can build it, AND, those kids need something to do, right. The lessons in self-sufficiency for the kids (and for us) is priceless.

[@jasonlightfoot4145]

Absolutely putting this in the saved videos for later reference once I secure my land!! Thank you for taking the time to put this content online for us like minded yet camera adverse peeps 🤪😎

[@BirdseyeVu]

Look, Ma! Desert solar ovens!😎 From personal experience with my own desert oven, I just now applied closed cell foam to the underside of my storage roof and it makes SUCH a difference.

[@jgivens1227]

So happy to see the build of the shed and garage. Very exciting to see the process. You all please take care and be safe

[@zwarst]

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to rebuild my new river shack after big floods washed my 4.5 year labour of love away this week - great idea.

[@patriciatinkey2677]

Sympathy for your loss, & admiration for getting back up & going again! 🍀🍀🍀

[@cindybickford9939]

What a great video. Cats, chickens and chicks, pigs Nine nine and of course the Great TSH Crew! Hope you all had fun doing it

[@austinlawrence9743]

I was entranced at how amazing the editing to the music was in the sequence at 21:00-ish. Kudos. Amazing job. Chapeau.

[@TinyShinyHome]

Hey thanks 😊

[@vickismallwood2082]

Your sheds are fabulous I don’t think you could ever buy the quality of those two any cheaper. I have followed your channel for quite awhile now and I am excited that Ashley is going to be able to plant a garden and have organized sheds to get ready for the house. I see it in my mind already. You’re doing a fantastic job everyone.

Nothing better than a man who is handy.

[@codymyers2564]

I dream of this lifestyle just with more tree’s hehe🌾🌿Watching your family is truly inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@twigandroot]

woah! the image highlighting of various components on the solar build is one of the smartest ways I've ever seen to show how all the pieces work together. what an amazing tool to use for teaching, much love.

[@robmccarthy9733]

I'm from that area and yes, the winds do indeed get up to 100mph. Especially in the spring. And it gets COLD in the winters!

[@cassityart7001]

The shed looks great! ❤️🌱🌞 Way better than a plastic shed. I like these custom projects.

[@stevejuststuff2779]

If you want to screw in the augers quicker get one of the bits that they sell for portable fish shacks. They chuck up in your drill and are designed for screwing in the ice anchors. You just have to modify the opening a bit wider to fit the size of the anchors. Use an electric drill ( preferably 3/4 ) and hang on tight so you don’t break your arm if it hits a rock. Love the video. I’m going to do the metal to mine when it quits snowing. Liked and subscribed.

[@TinyShinyHome]

"hang on tight so you don’t break your arm if it hits a rock" yeah sounds like all my augering experiences 😂

[@Murphycats]

These buildings fit in so well with the whole concept of what you are building. And that is, buildings pulled up from the ground. Beautiful work!!! Glad to finally see how you built them. Thanks for the extra video!

[@fivedime9927]

🇨🇦Thank you so very very much TS Family!!! ❤️❤️❤️ 🇨🇦

[@marilynlautner2454]

Whoop whoop! This was great. I knew you guys were working on another project(s) while working on the chicken coop project. You’re family is truly amazing..

[@michaelfyles3417]

We have cell phones, nothing wrong with them as long as you find balance.

[@mjohnson665]

You guys are awesome busy little bees!! Love your video and the funk music you chose us right on!!! You guys are very talented, smart and well educated in the projects, which you strategicly well thought thru. Well done family!!

[@selfesteem3447]

Oh super impressed with this. After watching videos of arched cabins I'm thinking someone could live in one of these price difference would be unbelievable even though Arched cabins are pretty darn inexpensive. The barn doors are beautiful. Y'all are great team you did a great job.

[@LanaMcAra]

Wow. I'm blown away that you were able to get this done in the middle of doing the massive chicken garden project. You guys are awesome!

[@luigih5018]

Watching it gave me a sensation of freedom.

[@ramahonlineschool]

We’ve had that EXACT structure for over 10 years in New Mexico high desert. I think now the cover is more duct tape and tarp than the original skin. However, the frame is solid. You guys have given us such a great idea at an inexpensive fix. Man this was super informative.

[@backachershomestead]

Turned out excellent! I rebuilt our shed in a box about 3 years ago and made a chicken barn.

[@idarmartin6022]

I loved this building remodel. This gives me great Ideas for how to fix my sheds. I have to deal with snow .

[@classifiedinformation6353]

Yes, I watched to the end of the video. Thanks for the detailed explanation of your sheds. I am thinking of making one for myself, but not in the desert. My new riding mower needs a safe place to sleep. John in Bethel, Missouri

Your builds are better and more beautiful than purchasing them pre-built! Well done!

[@revanelson8810]

Great idea. Our garage cover for UTV torn up in the first year so we might do this to it.

[@elainellisle5357]

I admire the research and work you have out in to stay off grid and limit your carbon footprint but not sacrifice any comfort or conveniences. Your solar system itself is amazing. Good job guys.

[@sharonmilton4854]

Wow! What a treat😃 Got home from work and watched the Monday video and 5 seconds before it finished I got notification for this one! Both projects look great 👍

[@lw2131]

You all are so totally amazing! Would you consider a sand-bag/construction weekend seminar where selected people could come help you on the property and learn/build with you? Self-contained folks only, and they provide their own food/water/etc. i live in the next county over and my adult daughter and I are just starting to work on a 12 acre parcel doing parallel projects to yours. Would love some hands on experience!

We really enjoyed this vlog especially seeing the kids work along side of you and the silly antics.. So many other vlogs on YT where it appears they don't. Also want to comment on tool usage as an observation. I didn't see you using your impact driver to bolt things or undo things using the socket attachments. Less work than using ratchets all the time and easier on the arms/hands. :-) Keep up the good work!

We aren't homesteaders but we moved to the mountains above Albuquerque NM. We have the same climate as yours. I ran the well dry the first year I put in our garden. Anyway, I love your family and feel like I understand some of the challenges you live with. Survival of the fittest! We are in our late 60 and early 70's and don't have the stamina to do what you do but I wish that we'd be doing it if we could.. Sometimes it's just about overcoming the challenges! Thanks for your videos. That hot sun is a real kicker and wears you done pretty fast. It takes some getting used to but it appears you are Impoverishing, Adapting and Overcoming! 👍🏻

Greeting from Hormigueros Puerto Rico. I recomend to paint the tarp of the shelter with UV protecting paint. That will make the tarp last longer. 😉

[@pattycake5365]

Very good job family. To combine all of the building methods you have learned on the land was a genius idea to repair both ShelterLogic tents. You were able to personalize each structure and put your stank on the darn thang. I really enjoyed watching how the structures came together.
