We're Out! Moving on From The Tiny House After 10 Years

Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, cats, bees, and some poultry, we live in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a homestead, but everyday life in a smaller home. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/arielcelestepho... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!
New? Check out a few of these videos to catch up on what goes on here!

Is it crazy to be so happy for people you’ve never actually met in person? What a wonderful journey you two are on! May you continue to be blessed!

[@jeanstrait2904]

Beautiful, cozy, but room to move around for a hard working man and his busy bee, lovely wife. Enjoy every moment.😊❤

[@DragonHeartTree]

That was a fun tour! I’ve followed you since your very first video. Can’t believe how long it’s been. Best to you two

[@sanguinelynx]

Now you have a space you created together, but Fy Nyth will always be where it all started. Congratulations on moving forward with your dream!

[@littlehomeinthevalley]

It's been so fun to follow her journey over the years, hasn't it?? 💗

I wouldn’t call that at camping space. I would call that a home.

[@karenjohnson6667]

Ariel, I love to see you adapting to your married life with Clay without compromising your commitment to sustainable living. Together you will achieve the perfect balance. ❤️

[@MamaMudskipper]

You made it so cozy! A Man builds a shop and Woman makes it a Home. 😊

[@mircat28]

Looks like Clay made it a home.

[@WyrdHag]

Ah yes, gotta cling to those old gender roles so we feel safe right 🤣 You know there are plenty of women who build houses too?

[@MamaMudskipper]

@WyrdHag are you gonna tell us about all the Men who give birth now?

[@papajeff5486]

Ariel, during our 45 years of marriage I was a soldier through retirement. Much of our prospective comes from being apart, me in one part of the world, her in another. If, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” we have some experience. I was so happy for you when you and Clay got hitched. You are both beautiful souls. You have created wonderful lessons and most excellent videos on your critters. Thank you, from East Tennessee.

[@mircat28]

So you personally know Clay and have met him?

Oh Ariel & Clay, I haven't been getting notifications from your channel for quite some time; I've missed you & others I love to watch. All my devices have been whacked for some time. Plus my kitty has been extremely sick. Seems to finally be on the mend--fingers crossed. It's great to see your new home, yes home. Happy to see the kitties growing so well too. They're beautiful. My own kitty, Dylan Thomas after the late poet--"Do not go gentle into that good night .... Rage, rage against the dying of the light," which he wrote to his father while he was on his deathbed, has been going through his own very serious medical problems. Hopefully he'll heal up extremely well & smoothly and be in top form in no time. I cannot think of any other possibility the vet has written in his care plan. No way, no how. Will cross that bridge if I come to it. Sending lots of love & you'll see me stopping by on the regular. Looking forward to new vids & watching you settle into your great new home with all its lovely reclaimed materials. Enjoy snuggling by the flickering wood stove. Big hugs, ~Marirose NH USA ❤️💚🤍🖤🕊️

I told my cousin's husband last Thanksgiving that what I really need is a 500 sq ft house and a 5000 sq ft garage. It looks fine to me...😊

[@littlehomeinthevalley]

Oh my gosh!! THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!! I love how it's so cozy and just such a happy space for you guys. Really looking forward to the upcoming videos on cooking, water, and laundry.

[@bethdrsrdp626]

I’ve been watching you since the beginning; I believe your first year. The other day, I was wondering how you both were doing, and this popped up! I knew some day you would be moving on, but never would forget your experiences. It’s great to see the change. Good on you!

[@denisemeredith2436]

What a brilliant idea to turn the shop into a temporary home. Your home looks cosy, all the chairs seem to match and the furniture looks great. I am always surprised with what people get rid of just so that they can have the latest gadget, you and Clay have done a lovely job rescuing them. Your washing machine brought back some memories for me because my grandma had one of them and I loved the mangle part - it was an upgrade from the kitchen sink and the big old mangle outside.

[@FyNyth]

It is amazing what gets discarded!

[@joshenyou360]

Ariel, I was so happy when you popped up. This is just so exciting yet perhaps a little bitter sweet leaving Fy Nyth. Your new home looks so warm and cozy. Now there is no bumping in to each other. LOL Clay is a master craftsman for sure. I'm sure he appreciates all the help you give him. Love to you both and hugs and pats to all of the fur babies. 🥰

[@georgianasstudio]

You could live in that new space indefinitely

[@thalleshoward3962]

Congratulations on your new adventure. And the living space you and Clay built looks nice.

I've lived a frugal and happy life in 600sqft for decades! 😊💛

[@jankarel6454]

What a lovely home you both have created. It looks so warm and cozy. So glad you have been able to spend more time together. Dear Husband and I did a distance relationship once upon a time because of work, and it was so nice when it was over, and we were back together again.

[@FyNyth]

I am glad you are together again too!

[@thegroundedstarseed]

Wow! Dear Ariel, what a lovely surprise and gratitude for sharing with us your new lovely nest. I find your "camping spot" quite cozy and wonderful. The end of phase and beginning of a new one. I literally teared up when I realized you were moving out from the tiny. I've been following you since the last 7 years and I've grown quite attached to your tiny nest. I'm so happy though that you guys can finally share more of a daily life together and share space in coziness, comfort and complicity! 💙💙🙂

[@terina1800]

It look very cozy for a newlywed couple you all did a fantastic job it's beautiful

[@stellabrown7630]

You guys are awesome

[@pviewer1234]

Your 'interim nest' 'is really nice. I love the thrifted and found furniture. It feels a bit sad to think that we won't see you in Fy Nyth all the time but am so happy you and Clay found each other. I wish you much happiness in 'the workshop' 😊. What a good idea to have a great interim setup while you are building your next space. All the very best, Ariel. I am cheering for you, your lifestyle, your health and happiness!

[@JESUSlovesyouall]

CONGRATULATIONS on your new 600+ sq. ft. home until you build your final home on your property. It's truly a wonderful space and I'm so happy for you both. GOD bless you ❤

[@loolalevi]

Looks wonderful Ariel! Really excited for you!! ❤

[@herbwitch5681]

The shop apartment looks nice and cozy. I use a compost toilet, too, but I used an old wooden chair frame without a seat to hold the bucket, with an oak-like toilet seat on it.

[@littlehomeinthevalley]

What a great idea!!

[@FyNyth]

Sounds very attractive!

[@pennyponders]

Team work makes the dream work! A very nice temporary living solution for the two of you.

[@sunline24]

I'm very glad that Clay could give up his old job. I'm sure he will be hard to replace. It is wonderful that you can live in a little more room than the tiny house. When we came out to visit back in 2018 to gift you some cabinet doors, I loved your tiny house, but it was too small for my lifestyle. So, I can see where Clay is coming from. I look forward to watching your house build.

[@FyNyth]

And those cabinet doors have been a blessing in my life every day since! Thank you again so much! If you are ever back in WY, please stop by and visit again.

[@jeanettec6212]

I remember this!

[@theannecrossett7761]

Your "temporary" home is marvelous and shows perfectly how an outbuilding can be turned into a home. And the "washing machine" brought back memories of when I had a similar one in the late 70s early 80s. Love the ice box and all of your reclaimed furniture, etc. A larger space for you and Clay to live while you're building your new home. Well done, I'm looking forward to the next phase 🥰

[@susanlamb7431]

I’m sure you’re not interested but concrete floors and plywood walls are all the fashion for interiors! So glad you’re together and happy.

[@FyNyth]

I didn't even know. :)

[@debrezo58]

So happy for you both! It does look absolutely beautiful in your "temporary" house. Heck I'd live in it as if it were my permanent house. Clay did a wonderful job. Happy to see you two enjoy each other in one comfortable place together 💖 Yes your honeymoon at last💖

[@BarbaraC02]

Your new living place is lovely. I can appreciate needing more space as my hubby and I lived in a 5th wheel while traveling the country for six years. I was thrilled to move into a home again. You have the most amazing gardens there. Thanks for the update video.

[@janinafisher101]

Oh Ariel, how wonderful that you are both able to be together full-time - and in one space that is comfortable for you both! It must have been really a lovely change to have time to spend together. It has been fun watching your life progress over the years. I, too, love rescuing old furniture and household goods. I don't have a single piece of furniture that was new, or curtains, dishes, etc! In the area where I live we have two "Reuse Centres" where we can take anything we no longer need, and help ourselves to anything anyone else has left. It is all for free, organized by the municipality, and run by volunteers at two local dump sites. Much of these items would have ended up in the landfill! I get clothing items, bedding, crafting materials, books, CDs and much more there too. If I want Christmas decorations I get them there and return them after Christmas. (I live in a rural cabin with no running water and an outhouse. It's not tiny, but I don't have storage space for that kind of thing. Books get returned when I've finished reading them too.) And as you can see from your own gleaning, you can end up with a pretty well put together place for not a lot of cost. I love this lifestyle! Clay is quite the amazing partner for you. He seems able to do anything! I wish you both a lovely spring and summer, and I'm sure the new house project will be interesting to watch too!

[@tahoesnowlion]

What a cozy little mountain home! I love the repurposing of the furniture etc. When i lived in Jackson Hole, I would go to the dump when everyone was in church on Sunday morning and collect roll top desks, coal buckets etc that everyone was throwing out in the 70's , load up my VW ( even the roll top desks) take them down to the Bay Area and sell them. My only competition was the skunks at the dump! You & Clay have a beautiful fur & feathers family , your own land, creativity and love for eachother & life. Whatmore can anyone ask for ❤❤❤❤

[@potpourrioflife]

Ariel, this is a great transition towards your final home. Your counters remind me of ours when we re-did our kitchen. We go the cupboards in, then had to wait for the granite to be fitted and installed. Working on our homes brings so much satisfaction. Enjoy the journey, enjoy the process.

Not true. A woman who sews needs a lot of space so she can make clothes, curtains, cushions, toys, quilts, etc for the home and people in it.

[@brendastratton1306]

I absolutely love your new living space! It’s so cozy. It reminds me a little bit of my Mom and Dad moving us into the basement of the new house they were building while they were finishing it. I think you and Clay did a fantastic job of pulling everything together to make yourselves a comfortable home. It’s so cute! ❤️

Love the James style clothes washer. I have one just like it, that I got at an Amish auction for $50. years ago, and it still works great. I've collected appliances, tool's, and other item's that don't use electric for decades. Lehman's is selling this washer right now, for about $1,300.

[@FyNyth]

Ariel, wow I love it ! Amazing ! Bern following you for years !

[@tbrown2302]

Nice space! I’m guessing after living in the tiny house this feels enormous. We did the opposite, sold a house in town that was much too big for the two of us (kids gone) and down sized to a small house on acreage. People thought we were nuts but I don’t regret it a bit. I can clean this house in under an hour and have plenty of time to be outside doing what I love. Congratulations, can’t wait to see what you build eventually.

What a wonderful home you two have created! Ariel, you keep calling it a camping spot, but I would call that a barndominium! Just like Melissa and Jeremy of Good Simple Living built in their pole barn in Idaho before building their house. And Jonathan and Ashley of Tiny Shiny Home (in Arizona) have that same washing machine. It is so neat. I love your woodstove, and how you've decorated the space and made it so homey, love that you can be fully functional even if the power goes out. God bless you and Clay! ❤
