Why do people make comments about your water being dirty and the mess outside. The work you have both done is amazing I don’t know how you do it. I would love to do what you are both doing, you are both very brave and resourceful.

I haven’t owned a dishwasher in 30 years. Doing dishes is not that hard (when you have a sink and drain) and I feel I use less water than a dishwasher uses. I even save recyclables and wash them in the dirty dishwater after all dishes washed. I start with one inch hot water (I run tap into a watering can to use that water until tap runs hot) and let the tap run very slow so I wash one dish at a time and rinse into the sink. By the time I am done I may have 1/2- 1 sink of water used for all my dishes.

A little tip, if u are going to install wood flooring, get some rubber stoppers for the legs of the stools. otherwise, good job on the plumbing. Cats always like a box to play and hide-in..

Helpful hint (hopefully) on getting wire in conduit. Tear a small piece off a plastic bag (size to fit conduit you are working with), tie the end of masons string on the plastic, stuff it into the end of the conduit, go to the other end suck the "mouse" through the conduit with a shop vac. It saves lots of frustration trying to "stuff" the wire into the conduit. Keep on truckin', guys, y'all are doing great!

ITS SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU YOUNGSTERS GET TO THAT POINT. IN ALL THE HOMES IVE BUILT WITH MY POPS, THAT WAS ALWAYS THE MOST SATISFACTORY PART. SEALED IN AND POWER ON. AND I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE LITTLE ELECTRIC BOOBOOS , I DID ALL THE GARAGE AND POWER POLE FOR MY POP, SO ITS ALL GOOD. THATS WHY USING BREAKERS ARE AWESOME! THE MORE SOLO CIRSUITS ARE BEST, ONLY DAISYCHAIN A FEW LIGHTS OR OUTLETS. YUPS ON THE WATER, A BURKEE SYSTEM, OR UV SYSTEM WILL BE PERFECT. THE INDIANS LIVED OFF MOUNTAIN WATER FOR EVER!

You two are so inspiring and complement each other so well. Bless you. I went through such a build 50 years ago. You are building memories. As for GFCI, I believe the refrig is supposed to be on GFCI but a false trip (or anything trip on that circuit) can spoil the food; I took it off GFCI and just grounded it! At least give it its own breaker. I did love that "I told you so" near the end. Wish I had listened better years ago.

We have north facing windows in our barndominium so we live in Wyoming so I wanted the interior of our house part of the shop to look like it's been there for 100 years I love rustic so all our light fixtures look like old shop lights with the gooseneck on them and board and batton walls we put corrugated tin on the lower part so just like your refletix it bounces light all over the room...and I agree your water source is pretty safe,I know a Dr. Who had a cabin in the north woods of Minnesota and his water came straight out of the lake for years he never had a problem . We always use our Berkey for drinking and cooking

I’m so happy I found your channel! You have the solar set up I am looking into. Unfortunately I’m not as “smart” as you both so I have to learn slow. I’m also disabled so it makes it a bit harder to remember things since I have chronic insomnia.😴 Thank you for being transparent about personal info with the land give away and will not be asked for. I’ve had an issue with someone hacking me and that made things a real pain in the butt. I did sign up for the land “give away” and I sent some questions too. I used to have a real estate license and did loans as well. Then I got into new construction with a big, privately owned company. I learned a lot but no one can ever know enough. Love your channel!👍❤ I was so excited watching you guys turn on the power!🤗 Where are you guys located? Just generally, no address.😂 I may find that info once I watch all your videos!🤔 I will be binge watching over the holidays for sure! Merry Christmas! 🙏🏻💕⛄️

we have a problem with living where we are in Hawaii, the volcano is erupting and causing drama with the national news who is making it much worse than it is. It's going off at the 10,000 foot level and coming down between the two volcano's on this Island, no property is at risk so far and it's miles away from Hilo on the coast. The fisher is sending out lava like mad but it's just slowing down and spreading out as it get's ready to cover the saddle road ( new road) and the plan is to open the old road for traffic but we will have to see if that will work or will it get covered too.
