I really wish I could afford the battery pack, 2999.00 is to rich for my blood, I just lost everything I own in a house fire, currently live in a camper with my 69 year old disabled father

Looks like Sproat Lake.... can you use a small garden sprayer and spray -40 windshield wash on solar panels?... Congrats on get away! on man that sucks being sick!

[@walterweyman8609]

Green board or cement boards only in shower. 😮moisture barrier paint is questionable, regular drywall is a definite no. Good luck.

[@wadeprior5203]

[@bay9876]

Getting some Vit.D is always a good idea and so is turning into two snowbirds to do so. It proves that there are warmer climates and warm sand to dig your toes into.

[@jayolson578]

You gotta use mold resistant board in that shower area and if bathroom isn’t ventilated correctly the entire bathroom or you are going to have a serious mold issue. You can use Green Board or DuraRock Board with a RedGard Paint covering at least 2-3 coats. If you use RedGard wear a chem mask because the fumes are very strong. Your videos and content are awesome. Thank God Spring is right around the corner.

[@storytellingseizures]

Cool shot of the turtle!!! Also, I can't wait to come home and see my fuzzy boys ❤️

[@carlahubbard7561]

That scenery and fresh air can cure your soul! So happy for you to vaca in a warmer climate!

[@lectro5418]

When I lived in the Florida keys back in the 60's we would mark the turtle nesting spots and come back and gather the eggs with my diving buddies grandfather. He worked with the Florida wildlife department and incubated the eggs and placed the hatchlings in large holding tanks, about 10 meters square or 33 ft . He had several of these for the various sizes. We would release them when there shells were about 20cm or 7 to 9 inches long if my memory is correct. Dang I'm getting old. Crap! Y'all are gittin er done. Even got a shower now.

[@pauljones8796]

It's best to use mold resistant Sheetrock in a bathroom. You should put a water proof membrane in the shower before you tile. I used Kerdi membrane which is approved to go over regular sheet rock.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Have a great holiday Greg and Katie

[@davidestrich7055]

I was told when I was remodelling my house to use blue-backer board for the walls of the shower. Any leak in the tile grout will cause the drywall to soak up the water leading to more leaks. I was told this after I had the water come up from the floor out side the stall. I had to rip out the shower walls and start again with Blue-backer board.

[@morgansword]

Although many years ago, I traveled from alaska to washington state. I got home and it was the first time I had ever been away from my two loyal friends Lady and Tramp. For the first few minutes they were so happy to see me and then the just would not have anything to do with me... they were angry that I had left them! It took a solid week before they forgave me which by this time, I was so grateful for. I never ever left them again for any reason. I have what I call a love and hate affair with snow. Glad you made a vacation, a great one it was, but happy to know your home as well.

[@brianiller2793]

You need to make a bracket to mount the plow blade to the loader frame after bucket is removed

[@Capfka]

Glad you two enjoyed your vacation in Mexico. Coming home from a trip is always great, too. Great video, Katie. Good job!

[@SunraeSkatimunggr]

Nice country. My sister lives in Bellingham and I lived in Coleville Washington in 1983. I love it up in that part of the world. I knew you were a mountain goat when I say you hauling those boards up to the roof when you were building your house.

Should have put marker on top of the Mountain but love to view. Next time find a stick sortie.

Beautiful high UP VIEW LOLOL Go slow one step at a time there. That is so awesome watching a turtle lay her eggs wow thank you for showing that. Hopefully you will feel refreshed when you go home. Sometimes you need time away from projects and you two have worked so hard the last couple of years for sure. Vacation was LONG OVER DUE!!! Beautiful views thank you for sharing!!! LOLOL wow from the beach to the snow YIKES!!! Mama and daddy are home everybody the dogs missed you two for sure. You are ready to go again after a burn out it is a GOOD THING!!! God Bless you ALL

[@darienneflint9354]

Stunning scenery where you live. Totally jealous here western Australia you have achieved so much in such a short time. Admire your constant work ethics. Endless things to do and complete. Great seeing you enjoy your spot hiking etc

[@roberthamm9304]

Just be careful of the condensation. You probably would have been better off using Tyvek house wrap. Tyvek prevents moisture from getting through it.

[@j.b.8767]

As someone who did linework and power plant work in operations for 30+ years, as well as, a motorcyclist, I can assure you of one thing for sure: having the right gear makes all the difference in the world! I was surprised to see Katie trying to scale that slide zone in footwear without good ankle support... As far as the thumbnail for this video: hang in there! You are almost there....and then you'll have the rest of your lives to enjoy that awesome place under the sun! I know I've enjoyed the journey, but I haven't had to do the work, though I know the work. Best wishes on a speedy finish date, (even though, I know, too: the work is never done when you own property, as it is always there, with more to do!). Thanks for sharing!

[@theshyguitarist]

Build it and get it done. It'll be sweet victory.

[@loucinci3922]

Ah, Loggerhead turtle. Big guy lives 70-80 years...we have them here in Miami, FL so cool. Lucky to see the nesting. Nice job.

[@roberthamm9304]

Here’s a tip for the panels, use a weighted tarp with some pull ropes, to pull/lower the tarp to prevent snow from accumulating/having to clean snow off of the solar panels.

[@chucklogan9611]

You two look so relaxed and enjoying each other!! Awesome trip

[@johnbemis4057]

I love the view. Loved the Rockies when we were living out there.

[@ricardodeangelo3851]

Very nice view from on top of the mtn...and happy that you guys got a chance to go somewhere warm. I remember going to the Virgin Islands one year in Feb. , -20 F in Michigan and 95 deg. F in St Thomas. GREAT video as always !

[@charlescarriere76]

What a relief for you guys. Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

[@sagitariox88]

It is common that upon arrival in Mexico, the stomach has a certain sensitivity to products such as water or food; This is known as "Moctezuma's revenge", referring to the reaction to the intake of local products, but the discomfort passes quickly, they only recommend not to exceed consumption while the body assimilates and stops having a reaction. Hoping you had a happy stay in the city and a great shot when you start recording from the room and show that first image the viewpoint of Puerto Vallarta and immediately the boardwalk and the commercial area of ​​crafts and restaurants-bar

[@marvgran]

In your shower, you need to change that sheetrock to green board - water resistant - here US is green in color, to avoid mold. Also need to add red guard water proofing. You guys have worked so hard in your property that totally deserve the vacation to Mexico, congrats.

[@davedavis662]

Do your hikes now on those rocky outcrops, in the spring they will be full of snakes coming out of their dens. Pretty aggressive and temperamental to boot.

[@patriciamontague6035]

Glad to see you get away and have fun.

[@waderue]

yes is called spring fever and wonder if you getting seed ready and in dirt for planting lol

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

You're right Katie when the weather is cold down it's really hard to get into thing done this winter has been the hardest I've had in my whole life being that I am water my bones hurt when the weather change and I tell you working on anything sucks take Care Keep up the Good Work

[@johnstadler5202]

I like watching your steady progress and will point out that I am a master carpenter , electrical worker and Plummer , so just a thought and please dont be offended , but replace thr 45 on the inlet and the tub with 90 s to shorten the lines and run them downhill as far as you can as it will create close to 10 psi more and the rule , just like a garden hose is larger inlet usually 2 inch reducwd to half gives you more pressure and the response of your instant heater will work much better also , but if not possible a higher flow pump will help greatly . Please ask if you have any questions as I have encountered many , many situations , Thanks and best of luck .

[@elvinharder4043]

You guys had a well deserved vacation. Work is important, but has to be substituted by some fun and relaxation every so often. You two are doing a great job building up your little get away and home.

[@donaldshields2483]

Looks like you had a nice time on your vacation and for all the work you’ve done I’m sure you enjoyed it and it looks like you had a very good time I was able to visit with your grandmother I live in Maine what part of Canada do you live in and keep up the good work and I will keep watching god bless

Oh... I hear you. I'm so tired of winter. Southwest Ohio here, For the past few weeks it's been the same routine. A couple of really nice days during the work week (I actually hand washed my truck a few weeks ago) but when the weekend comes around it's below freezing.

shower valve in tub 48" above floor. shower hear 72" high

[@xcon2155]

coming from a plumber I would have not put the hot water heater next to a shower because that room is going to have moisture when you get hot showers whether you have an exhaust fan or not that moisture is going to get into that hot water heater and destroy the motherboard

[@barrywhitlock141]

It was good to see you both relaxed and having the break you needed. you had some beautiful scenery and the sea looked very inviting, but you have beautiful views where you live but at the moment you have all that snow.

[@samanthawinslett202]

What a great video. Thank you for sharing. I am loving your vlog, watching you two work together. Now a little mini break away to rejuvenate your spirits to miss home. You are so natural sharing your life, I enjoy your vlogs and look forward to each one...I couldn't enjoy a vacation away for too long either. Just as you were walking on the beach I was missing the Animals then Gregg mentioned the dogs 🐕 ....Best part about going away, is coming home...🏡ty

I love the electric powered generators with the solar panels. I love them for around the house to lower my electric bill and keep things on. I happen to live in an area that has had frequent outages, so I am putting more of these for fridge security system internet modems and anything else critical. I am seeing my electric bill dropping as I add more things. I do not want to put solar panels on the roof because if there is a fire the fire dept will not use water near solar panels due to risk of shock.

I love how frugal you are with your money. You mentioned a while back you paid of the mortgage. Didn't you say that you bought some additional land? Anyhow, living a minimalist life style like you do, hopefully you were able to pay cash for your vacation and avoid using credit cards. To me there is nothing like going to the Caribbean when there are cold temps/snow on the ground at home. My wife and I truly enjoy the flexibility of cruising. Hope you had a great time. Question, was it the off season there for tourists? Very sorry to hear you had the bug while down there.

I would look for some magnifying glass to melt Ice off your solar pannels actually I head it works better with tube type cylinder type pannels for heating liquid like antifreeze but they might also work with solar pannels in winter and snow conditions, You are pretty adapt in your abilities just look around for the infor mation. And also there are water heaters rhat are liked a large thermous bottle they are not heated all the time just very well insulated and hold the hot water for a very very long time. I believe they have a large stainless steel coiled tube on the inside and they are very large perhaps a 100 gallons or more. I think they are called indirect water heaters.
