WE’VE GOT TO MAKE THIS WORK | Building an Off Grid Tiny Home on a 5 Acre Homestead

[@theindieprojects]

🙌 Thanks to Berbe for sponsoring todays video! For more details check out berbe.net for more details ✈️

[@taramcdonough3599]

where your farm is located I'm wondering if you can grow Date Trees? date trees grow what seems to be similar climate = hot in the summer & cool in the winter.

[@dunbar837]

Jeez spin the grinder around asap it's running the wrong way......

[@MsJet1]

Sounds like a good app for travelers.

[@martinjustice]

Really pleased that Bee has sorted out her Fluorosis. Definitely biowhite for the win. Well Done!! The tall chap too continues to make progress.

[@santiagonavesgomez8332]

What about your legs mate

[@maureen8930]

Thero is like an energizer Bunny he never stops it goes goes goes gotta give him a lot of credit 👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰

[@lcrain7840]

the goat pen is stripped- are you protecting the trees? They will be stripped and girdled too. Would be invaluable to have rotational pens to prevent this deprivation. Sacrifice areas do happen, erosion crisis will follow in a large pen like that. By making 4 smaller spaces around a very small central shelter, you can give spaces a rest as you rotate. Mulching the bald land after you move the goats out will protect the land and rehabilitate quickly. Check out Alan Savoy's "Holistic Management" for some great understanding on rotational success.

[@bonniegoodwin234]

I want a Theo!! Lol there is nothing he can’t do and he works his heart out. Bea you have a great guy there, you two make such a match both so hard working….. need more like him for all us single needing a guy around lol 😂 you guys are great.

[@debbiblakeslee2373]

Ditto !!! Lol I was thinking the same thing he needs to come to the USA LOL and help me with my van build haha 😂 I’m old hehe 😉

[@louisaede5846]

Behind every great man, there is a great woman!

[@lindatremblay2445]

I want one to!.

[@estelleschneider9033]

Hi Theo You are Amazing..so talented a jack of all trades..God has Blessed You Just a comment about your water Pipe..would it not be wise to wrap the pipe in a type of aluminum wrap..being underground..to keep it strong.. I have seen this done. Just a thought cam to Me. : )

[@naturalcombinations]

True you need to motivate a man to work this way and be a good provider, if you nag and dont work with him where its needed he wil stop caring, Bea is a strong woman and she knows how to keep her man doing what he can. A good man needs a supportive woman just like a mother of children, she needs to be motivated its a hard job too rearing children.

[@sueq6]

Never thought I could be so fond of an old tractor...its those big eyes I think !!!!!

[@marirose19]

@sue lindley Your comment gave me a good chuckle. Thnx for that!!

[@debdeb62065]

It reminds me of Johnie #5, robot from Eva but mostly it reminds me of mater from Toy story

[@heleneschofield3386]

Me too, the eyes. reminds of that old robot movie, hat was that….????….Short Circuit.

[@luminyam6145]

You are both so kind, I love how you treat your animals. Goats are skittish, it is obvious that they like you pretty well.

[@davidlacey4719]

Put a five gallon bucket under the hose bib where you wash your hands to collect the water. Then dump it on the grape vines. You’ll enjoy the grapes with salvaged water.

[@heathercampbell6059]

I didn't see you mentioning it, but you may want to mark where the pipe has gone, because in a couple of years when that's all settled over it may be difficult to remember where exactly it is.

[@peterwilson8132]

I worked on tractors for a few years and i would always start by checking water and oil, you should check the water level after refilling that radiator after about 20 minutes of use.

[@777visionquest]

looking at the old barn before renovation and then Bea sitting in yall's gorgeous living area....what an accomplishment....so proud and happy for you both.....looking great...know you will be so glad to have water inside your renovated Barn / home......

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

You are amazing person. I don’t let anybody tell you any difference you figured out stuff on your own without having anybody to help you put those pipes together to make the water run up to your house that to me is smart and knowing what to do and how to do it without having a plumber come down and do it for ya, I’m very very proud of you both years and may God keep on bless you too out in Portugal. God bless you guys.

[@kristofinportugal]

I would have ordered all radiator hoses. The top one also looks like it's the original and can go any day now... Good luck 👍😉

[@celestee.garcia2571]

Hello Theo have you thought about marking the water line trench with a top layer of shingles, gravel pebbles? It can save you time finding it in future. After a awhile schrubs will grow and next generation won't know it's there. Farm looks great!

[@galdessa1]

They don't want kids, just cats.

[@marjohoureld8599]

About your apple trees, we were a family immigrated from Holland to South Africa, in 1951, on one of my late mom's trips back, she brought back a (not sure what you call them,) a crab apple sapling, the first say ten years we had beautiful fruit more for cooking than eating but were tasty. Over the years the fruit got smaller and smaller, with very little flesh and flavour, in the end mom got rid of it. I was about 20 years old when mom got the sapling, and I am now 75. Just thought I might share this titbit.

[@brackalack1]

2.21 loving the cheeky goat in the background trying to figure out how the gate latch works....

[@kimkennedy123]

Really impressive work, especially in that heat! I have a tough time doing much smaller tasks in the heat, so good for you. The property is really nice, and shows all your hard work. Also, with regards to your tractor, you're a good example of how to maintain and drive an older vehicle to keep it running for many, many years. I have an older Chevy commercial van that I use for my business. I put tons of miles on it (nearly 300k mostly highway), and I DON'T drive it like a maniac! My boyfriend taught me to close the doors gently to prevent the wear and tear on the electric window motor (very expensive to replace). It drives me crazy to see people riding their cars and equipment harder than they should! Wasteful.

[@jcaughman01]

Most folks would replace the hose clamps with new ones as they are usually relatively cheap and new ones have a lot less chance of failure due to age!

[@anniestumpy9918]

It looks like the goats are having such a great life being with you now. Thank you for giving them a good home! 🥰

[@jilllangman9343]

Your goats are so lucky, Theo. Their coats look lovely and they are in top condition. You have created Utopia for all your animals. Sending love from Australia. 🌈🐨

[@ChristieOconnor]

You look so happy and radiant Bee x

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

Theo. It’s called preventive maintenance. From your pictures it looks like you need to replace all your hoses. And look at the tractor belts. They start cracking before they break.

[@norascholey7909]

If I may suggest Tofino BC. Camping on island parks accessible by float plane or boat. Also, Victoria BC. Pretty city that's walkable. Take the water taxi around the harbour to small markets, food carts and shop and each stop.

[@sarmcfadden4330]

Hi Guys - just a suggestion after watching you placing your water pipe and pumps. I’m base in Australia and do heaps of gardening. I note that hoses and plastic type pipes and fittings degrade very quickly in our sun and heat. I think it would really help to protect your exposed fittings to make a simple box cover for them to protect them from direct sunlight. Love your videos xx

[@winisqm]

You both are so Good. Your land and projects are so Good and you take such good care of your land and animals. Your videos always make me smile. Thank you for everything and continued happiness to all.

[@piratetaylor29]

Theo, check with Kabota about weather the tractor needs to filled with any antifreeze to prevent overheating. 👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@marcusvarney4662]

And corrosion of the system.

[@marirose19]

I have always loved Bee’s chicks & that wonderfully vocal cockerel, but I’ve come to adore the goats as well. They give me a good chuckle. Nice use of ASMR to highlight the sound of them munching on the apples etc. In the USA, when my two daughters were young, I’d bring them to farms. The goats in the various farms were always trying to eat our clothing; it was a bit disconcerting. I wonder if your goats ever do that; haven’t seen them do that on camera-maybe you feed them better than at the farms my children used to visit. There were always a higher number of goats too in a smaller enclosure so perhaps that had something to do w/it. At any rate, I love your four girls & am glad they make you so happy. Thnx for sharing your lives w/us. This truly is one of my very favorite YT channels, which is saying a lot, & I adore the two of you!🥰💙🌺🫂

[@sandrahoglan7452]

Love Theo and Bea.Their videos are great. They treat their animals like family shows you what kind of people they are.

[@PershijsmachnijKherson]

Hello my friend. This is more than just a video, you put love and passion into it. Great job! Thanks for sharing this video! I love your channel and will support you all the way! Always believe in yourself and keep doing what you love, good luck! 🌹🌹🌹💔👍

[@sallystanley4526]

Thank you for playing music about my home here in the USA. The most beautiful part of this country. Good job with the waterlines. I know it must have been very hard work. 💪

[@themac8887]

Missed seeing much of dear Bee in front of the camera this week. But Theo, with the help of the goats, kept us entertained. Love you 2, but equally enjoy when you include footage of your beloved cats, chickens & goats.

[@krystaldelmonico7294]

I would build a little box or cover for your valves to protect them from the sun. I live in Las Vegas NV and our sun is BRUTAL and will dry and age rot anything. The more protection from the sun the better. Also that woven hose on the top maybe coming out of the radiator is old an frayed too. : )

[@sherry9088]

A lot was accomplished in high heat! Awesome video. I’m always in anticipation to see your next video! Love you guys! ❤️

[@carolbulmer8253]

Another brilliant episode, thank you, Bea and Theo! It looks like you are one task closer to water in the kitchen… YAY! You two are so good to your animals… I love watching you with the goats❤️❤️

[@Schimms]

Theo, you are a master of all things. Seems that you can fix, and build everything! Kudos to you!

[@beckyvanepps605]

A regular maintenance on all vehicles especially your important tractor. Remember to put grease in all the spots. It tends to be really hard on equipment when it sits in a dryer climate. Good luck with your I, great job!

[@vannesareay9435]

You guys are really making progress. The goats always remind me of the story Heidi.

[@jamest5149]

Those ‘wild vines’ are how the Spanish and Portuguese grow them, not on a wire trellises like you see in big vineyards. Prune them back in the late winter / early spring and they will flurish if the chickens and go eats don’t eat them first.

[@ruthstevens770]

I love you guys and am concerned that you haven't put out a sunday or now wednesday video. I hope you are both healthy and whole.

[@sundanceks5074]

Just a help suggestion. It was important that you put the waterline deeper. Not for freezing but so you don't have very hot water coming out of the faucet in the house. in the summer. Good luck with all you are doing.

[@theindieprojects]

It’s pure granite so not possible without huge machinery. We want hot water from our tap so maybe less work for the boiler 😀

[@WolvesinFrance]

I leave buckets of cold water out in sun and its like it came out of hot tap in just a few hrs... ideal for washing up... no doubt you coild fo it with bigger vessels like a bathtub

[@sundanceks5074]

@@WolvesinFrance Here in New Mexico after a few hours the water from black irrigation pipe is hot enough to burn you.

[@rosaolbera8768]

Theo you are doing such a great job

[@sundanceks5074]

I totally understand about the granite just be careful if you run a black plastic drip line to the garden as the water will be to hot for the plants. Good job!

[@stevensoncl]

So excited to get a weekday video again!! Cheers ♡

[@fastgurrrl]

I LOVE THAT TRACTOR!

[@michelebushnik2874]

I am so happy to see your smiling dimples again Theo! Great progress on the water lines! Love the goats so much Bea and Theo! Thank you dearly for sharing!

[@gothicpagan.666]

Like pulling hens teeth, it's a bottom rad hose, it's a two mins job. Put corrosion inhibitor in the rad, she will last a lot longer.👌

[@piratetaylor29]

Theo, it's beautiful to see you so peaceful, happy and smiling alot. Great job on the boulder cutting to lay the water pipe. 👍😃🇺🇸

[@martieflagg4671]

Happy to see you guys working on running water to your home! Thanks for more footage of the cutest goats in the world!

[@GM-cq6ez]

I only saw Theo working on the water pipe. Did I miss something?

[@sewitaliano7423]

Your place is coming along so nicely :) The fruit is so tiny because those trees don't have enough water. Put good size tree wells around those trees, remove the grass and weeds and water them, it will take a couple of years-eventually the trees will produce normal size fruit. Good luck :)

[@theindieprojects]

Hey they are small because they are growing, they won’t be full sized until September 😀

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless you and Theo and the cats and the rest of the farm animals

[@deborahsimpson4968]

I think you should change all water hoses at the same time. Water always finds the weakest link and blows threw it. Now that you have the new thus smaller ID bottom hose you'll have more pressure on your system. That's an expensive and precious piece ob equipment to allow that cooling system to be repaired via emergency. Also the waterpump should be on your radar too.

[@christiankoziol5967]

it looks like the top Hose to the Radiator needs to be changed also.

[@galdessa1]

After 40 years in that heat all the hoses will need replacing even the fuel hoses.

[@grahamyoudell4105]

Theo….did you forget you had the big guns of the impact drill to smash that channel thru the rock…..🙃

[@markatag2680]

I love your positive geared video titles! So refreshing and Im just as interested to see what challenges you overcome and your achievements on the farm ☺️

[@pathogan4854]

Keep on keeping on ! Bee and the barn looked fab in the promo for Berbe. Im sure with Bee,s planning and attention to detail you,l have a wonderful time in Canada. Til next time take care of each other x

[@virginiajorgensen8614]

Another great video, glad that you got the water line in. The goats really love both you and Bea.

[@tonymorton1558]

Top hose looks a bit iffy too, might be worth pre-empting the inevitable and changing it sooner rather than later, just a thought.

[@eddiewatson3759]

and new hose clamps

[@stevemortimer6710]

Great video as always one note of caution to Theo when using an angle grinder the way you were please wear safety boots one slip and you loose a toe at best, sorry for being negative.

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Thanks for the info on Berbe! I'm sharing with family and friends...we all love to travel! YAY!!! Water at the top!

[@19bigred55]

Dexpan is a rock and concrete buster you might try. Drill holes in rock or concrete mix it with water por into holes and wait about 24 hrs. You can see video's on youtube.

[@tezthornton8770]

Kubota are brilliant, we had a ride on that was just as old, it had bits of string holding parts up the steering wasn't brilliant and the cutting bed had old tin cans glued to the rusty holes but it kept going until it just said thats enough, great work horses.

[@galdessa1]

Its a week video.

[@glendalawson150]

Theo, may I dare to tell such a handy person how to unroll plastic piping? 😀 With the roll over your arm and the beginning of the pipe coming from the BOTTOM of the roll, fasten it to the ground with a weight (say, a stone), walk backwards and it will unroll perfectly. You can walk forwards but it’s a bit awkward. Hope that’s clear. Greeting to you and Bea from England.

[@cdancarina5513]

Bee, hope you're well. Miss you. Theo, you are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Together, you and Bee are the dream team. 💞 Love you both (I know I've said it before).

if you're coming to Canada, make sure you don't fly into YYZ (Toronto), especially if you're not spending any time in Ontario. It's a mess. Or rather a greater mess since its always been a mess. Fly into YYC as its the only airport that seems to have its shit together.
