Hi! We're Nick and Jen, a retired military veteran of 14 years and professional dancer/entertainer at Coyote Ugly Bar. Together, we decided to sell everything and break free of the glitz, glam and chaos of city life to move off gird. We live on our 20 acres of remote land in the mountains of Southern Utah.
We’re trying to be as self sufficient as possible by installing all our own utilities and doing everything DIY with as much modern technology as can make happen. Living off grid is about the freedom to build our own path one plank at a time. Life, indeed, is Elevated Off Grid. Come along and see what life is like as we continue to build our property and adventure around Southern Utah's mountains.

Nick is so much more patient when it comes to rigs breaking down! My husband losses his mind and takes forever to fix stuff! God bless you nick!

[@kevinstenholm40]

That's the difference between someone who likes repairing and maintaining things and someone who doesn't.

[@rickdeschenes1598]

Build a full outside washroom, square shower, small sink, and a flush toilet. In the winter cut the water and drain everything.

[@nancysimpson4246]

Oh my gosh hi guys where have you been? Thank you for this video. I love watching your videos like always.❤ it looks awesome. Keep your head like that. Shove it all the time. It looks good.love it The haircut makes you look so young Nick love it. All the eggs that is awesome.

[@craigfallon8340]

back in the 50s my city family visited our country cousins all summer. they only had an outhouse and a well pump room with a trough to wash dishes or laundry. yes build an outhouse

[@paularyals1589]

I think the Outhouse is an Awesome Idea. You'll Appreciat not having to run up and down the stairs also.

[@grammaluvs10]

My aunt had a beautiful double seater outhouse with curtains and everything. Great for the kids playing outside and working outside

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Build an OUTHOUSE!!!! It would be so cute & functional. Thanks for sharing

[@mikehedlund9631]

To check the eggs to see if they are good, fill a pot with water and place the eggs in the water. If they SINK they are good. If they FLOAT, toss them, they're bad

[@AndrewLumsden]

Can I suggest adding some "self-amalgamating tape" over the electrical tape you put on that cable splice. It will make it totally waterproof if you wind it on tightly enough and will never peel over time.

[@ritchieblackmore5204]

Put the eggs in water if they if it floats it could be bad

[@francislarson8111]

Watched you cleaning that trailer and the mess in the garage. We had such a good laugh when you made the comment about Nick needing everything well maintained. Good one. 😂🤣

[@FN-ut7xg]

Yes. I caught that joke also.

[@goodwillcriminals117]

If you want to make the snow removal even easier, take those bottom boards along the deck off in a few places and reinstall them so they can be lifted out. That would allow you to shove snow right over the edge. Some metal L brackets screwed in side by side to the boards would create a channel to set them in and still look nice. Some rope lights installed under the rail edge would look nice. The stairs are the most important to keep lit at night for safety. Some wall-mounted lights or some puck lights embedded in the treads would work well.

[@juanitaespiricueta3863]

Yes, outhouse Nicks style, Nick has such great skills I would love to see what y'all's minds come up with.

[@NicholasBaker-md6jq]

Hey an outhouse has been around for a long time but that’s up to you guys on what you want to do with your property

[@topaz95018]

You probably will want to float those eggs to make sure they are not rotten. Fill a deep bowl with cool water. Place one egg at a time in the water. If it floats, it is bad. love the outhouse idea.

[@lindahill9215]

I'm an "older person" and a bathroom in the garage sounds alot better then an outhouse. Just saying 😊

[@suzyqweiss]

YAY!!!! Everything is looking so great. Nice garage, room for the motorized, great wood shed, great haircut, even Charlie got one! Looks like a wonderful Mother's Day! and.... I LOVE THE OUTHOUSE IDEA!!!!! Beautiful Southern Utah. I love you guys.❤🤍💙

[@wadeprior5203]

Good afternoon, how you guys doing today?Look like you guys are doing one heck of a job.Keep up the good work Guys have a keep the good work out there and i'm gonna bless both of you

[@wendyhall1395]

Go Nick, sacrificing the hair on KZbin! Seriously, a nice short do is best for summer!

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Nice truck, Nick!! I can't wait to see what it's going to look like when the cement is all done!!

[@ronchilders8086]

Either put it a bathroom in one of the ground level buildings or an elevater up to the upper deck.

[@davemyers3953]

Get your fire wood in first. Pack in high and tite. You will thank yourself when winter hits

[@laurenm8561]

Float your eggs in cold water. What a cool find! Love your woodshed. Too bad you couldn’t leave the pallets all full of wood for easy transport in the winter. Helps with keeping Wood dry too. You guys are too fun!

[@larryperdue508]

You should put some wheel weights on the back wheels of the tractor 🚜 that will eliminate some of the bouncing and get better traction 😊😊

[@ruthbrown2186]

Weather sounds like Florida pours for 20 minutes and then suns out. No have Nick add a single bathroom on off the back.

[@danrose3621]

Seal the wood shed floor with something please

[@johnfire1969]

The out house is a great idea.

[@stewartwilkinsonsnr]

Think the idea of an Outhouse would be great, let’s your Mature Family/Friends enjoy visiting you. Oh I said Mature as I’m 76 and we have never used the word “Old” in our home here in the UK 🇬🇧 Sure been busy whilst the children are away, Wood Shed will be an awesome to store your chopped wood in one place. Agree Nick you look 10 years younger with the new hair cut. Loved the insight into your family life on Mothers Day. Loving watching you both and how you get on with those chores. Love to you both ❤️💙xx

[@ronaldsnider8078]

I'm 79 Nick and been doing my cut like that for years. I save so much money And feel great about it and it makes me look younger here in FL.

[@robertelrose6239]

For your outhouse, use one of those toilets that turns poop into compost.

[@joeharwellauthor9317]

Another great family video. Thanks for sharing. I'm almost 70, and my youngest son is 43. We began cutting each other's hair in 2019, and everyone thinks we go to a barber. Here's a trick on figuring out the freshness of eggs. Place your egg in a glass or bowl filled with cold water. If the egg sinks to the bottom it’s very fresh and should be good to use. If the egg stands up on its end or even floats slightly, it’s a little past peak freshness but should still be edible. I probably wouldn’t cook it sunny side up,

[@waderue]

Hey Nick I see the Golden Knight sticker on your trailer, I also am a huge fan of the golden Knight it suck we did not get into the next round of play off but maybe next year

[@goodwillcriminals117]

If you want to improve that trailer, weld some 2x-sized metal channels. This way you can drop in some staves and screw on some panels to raise the sides. When this is done get some heavy straps and loop them around the inside of the trailer bed. That way when you go to unload the wood you only need to hook the straps to the tractor and pull the load off in one go.

[@danrose3621]

I thought you were going to seal the floor in the wood shed with something to prevent floor rot ?

[@scottcarpenter2025]

You should get a good sized sbow bliwer for the tractor.

[@lynnjones8233]

4th of July is my husband’s birthday as well. Summer celebrations😀

[@alyciapeters5073]

Outhouse is an amazing idea 💡

[@robertelrose6239]

You look Good. I just got one this morning myself. Great Family

[@ld5714]

Hi Nick and Jen! You made good progress clearing out and stacking last winters left over wood in the new fire wood shed. It can be so satisfying to clear out a mess and relocate it like that because it's instant gratificaiton. Exciting that you'll be starting on the concrete floor in the garage. Once that is all cleaned out, graded and set with rebar it will be a blessing for you. As for Nick's buzz cut; I have cut my own hair, every 2 - 3 weeks, just like that for years now. I just stand over the trash can outside and it only takes a few minutes and I've saved a lot of money over the years. The out house might be a good project. The question is, how ofter would it actually be used and would the older family members really want to use it in the summer months. Have a great week and I look forward to your next video. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@edwardarsenault4440]

Great job. Yes I think a nice outhouse would be awesome. If you do something like a nature’s head. Doesn’t have to be a hole in the ground

[@will8423]

Yes, build that out house!

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

Next time you weld bud you might want to think about path of least resistance for the current. Grounding your lug to weld on frame current might be going through your bearings.

[@freddien7]

Soo glad you are concreting the garage, maybe if you contact R&R Buildings Kyle on KZbin he can point you in the right direction as to doing the Siding on youre house/garage.. Definitely a Military cut Nick. Love youre choices of music Jen. Great video. x x

[@Gossamer314]

So much better than a man bun.

[@dmorgan28]

Great video. We really enjoyed it. 👍❤️

[@Kristina_Australia]

On outhouse near your laundry area so it's all together would be great. A bit late now, but putting a divider in the wood shed (making it 3 bays) may have allowed for storage of timber for now, ready in about 18 months and the oak you want to get. Good to see you had a great time with the family.

[@KindCreature1]

Is the new truck a diesel? Always a good time tuning into Nick and Jen. Mike in Oregon

[@joshuawhalen9192]

It would be rad to have swing where the view is ..morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. .........great job

[@billiehuskins8129]

Outhouse. Good idea

[@joshuawhalen9192]

You can always do float test with eggs

[@mikeyb2607]

Yes to the outhouse. And include a urinal 😅

[@donaldhughes1629]

Double setter out house.

[@bebetjones5551]

Jack of all trades!!! That's what you have to do off grid. You guys have made a lot of progress and you will love having the concrete floor in the garage and then the gravel to cut down on the mud. Can't wait to see all you do this summer!!! Loved seeing the family time and the kids getting to ride the horse!!!

[@michaelgrimaud28]

Get some ride rite airbags for the truck. Easy install and you don't even need a compressor. Just a hand pump to add air when needed.

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@kristingrounds4163]

Out house is a great idea!!!

[@duncangough9969]

When you are using a high current device on a generator you are better to turn off the ECO whilst doing so to give the welder a more constant supply.

[@kevinstenholm40]

I love your floor jack, but I think it would be better if it had hard wheels

[@Jeff-vt8kn]

Next time you take your weld tip off dip it in Vaseline or Blu and on your cone but burn it before your weld on scrap metal for a second.

[@greavesy3998]

Outhouse aka wellness centre with a spa and steam room haha

[@tommychong1173]

Dude should the wood bark on your up hill slope of the road. It will act as base a snow melt. Gotta always being thinking of the coming winter when y'all live out in the sticks or a red dirt road. Besides it's great for traction in snow or mud

[@loucinci3922]

Yeah, I quit using a guard on my clippers long time ago. Buzz it all down, shower - good to go!

[@gardnerwilson57]

And the dog didn't even get one free egg. Me southern AZ.

[@wendyhall1395]

Check out maceration toilets for the outhouse. Just saw that this week, didn't know it existed - Trent and Allie!

[@mikeyoung5211]

No rain just snow

[@kathybitt2102]

Yes build an outhouse

[@melissarosales6220]

Build the bathroom in the garage

[@daysiduck7945]

Nick, dass die Kabelklemmen Schrumpfschlauch sind weißt du, ja?

[@KevinHaley-hv9hd]

5jen, you are correct it is excellent compostable material use it for such, add egg shells, coffee grounds, and scraps to get it going, chicken poop if you have some. You will end up with large worms for the young ones to fish with and your soil will improve for it as well. A grinder and paint will make you the welder you ain’t,, not to worry, I’m worse at welding, so you are not the worst welder.

[@nigelovery2545]

Hi,watched this video and you forgot to mention door frames inside,haha.Dont forget 4th july.

[@ronaldsnider8078]

You should hang all your ladders on the wall and it will be out of your eay and still rasy to get to. Still a good hair job just like mine.

[@PapaJack68]

Nice job.

[@wendyhall1395]

So wonderful to have a real nice horse for a great riding experience. Awesome, every little girls dream.

[@edwardlohn951]

Remember to grease your trailer ball.!!! That's a hinge point, like a fifth wheel. It will react faster when backing up, Nick. You do not want it to heat up and snap off.

[@michaelmangold6242]

A cord is 4ft x 4ft x 8 ft

[@mikechandler3791]

Why not build a bathhouse, shower, sink, toilet and hook it up to your water and septic. This will allow guests to come and camp, visit and have the essential amenities available to them without having to go into the apartment. I know another project but something to think about for down the road.

[@maximecasavant734]

hahah Anyone living Off Grid must have an outhouse , take it from an old farmer .( that is for all the ladies .love you guys. thanks for all your wonderful videos .

[@Dag12324]

make sure the eggs dont float in a pan of water cause floating means its bad

[@scottcarpenter2025]

Snow

[@Troupster]

Those colored pallets cost money at home depot, you can probably get $25 a pallet of you return them 🥹

[@jeffcoleman5160]

Horses are so expensive .Just a heads up .Side by sides just add gas

[@ruscocor]

Extremely easy love that Jack where'd you get it

[@rickdeschenes1598]

Watching you backblade the snow last year was tough to watch. You should try to find a cheap plow truck, with a plow. Even onecwith a blown engine would be fine. Then, find a destroyed set of forks or a bucket to use as the mount. Your bucket hydraulic hoses should work to control it.

[@rickdeschenes1598]

He does look so much younger!

[@larryperdue508]

Hey pull your hot water heaters pants up and put a couple of cheap rachet straps on it 🤪🤪

[@chipprice1174]

Nick, something you should know about wiring 12V Dc connections, 1st if using crimp connections, always use die electric grease, keeps the connections from corroding, and 2nd, there's a new kid in town. There is now butt connectors that solder with a little heat. Heat gun, torch, or even a Bic lighter, and the heat shrink the ends of the connector o you also have a water tight seal. I picked myself up a decent selection of them off of EBAY. Finding eggs, a good thing, but, you need to KNOW, they are good. simple put the egg into a glass of water, if it goes to the bottom, it's good. If it floats halfway up, bad, full float, bad, barely dancing on the bottom, use it first. To measure a cord, 4'wide, X4' high X 8' long.

[@ld5714]

I was going to suggest the same, but you beat me to the punch 😉

[@Unclejojo330]

The outhouse we be a great idea save on tracking in the house and cleaning. Nick nothing like a buzz cut in the summer, I live in Phoenix and it’s a must to darn hot to grow it out, your next Jen🤣🤣. I see Charlie got his cut a lot cooler for him. Have a great one.Awesome video.

[@randyfowler6928]

How big is that firewood shed

[@Tucker85]

Great Videos. I've been watching since you started the Garage/Home build and will be using some of your ideas down the road. As a resident of Muskoka Ontario Canada and using wood every winter to heat my home, I would suggest perhaps placing a divider in that woodshed and using 1/3 of it for your hardwood which you would only burn at night to last the whole night. Wood sourcing is always fun and a ton of work. I think the outhouse idea is good, but maybe think about a spot to wash hands afterwards, maybe a rain catch for water with a tap. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

[@ransomtester5347]

Good morning happy Wednesday 😮👍✌️🙏🙏🙏♥️

[@robertwill1694]

My wife cut my hair for more that 14 years

[@delclark507]

You should try to get some fruit tree logs it makes the house smell great. In Spain they burn Orange tree logs and the aroma is amazing.. Get the rest of your property finished first, then think about the outhouse. Love your Vids... Del.. UK

[@James_71]

Yes, on the outhouse. Easy to maintain, you can move it to another area when time comes. Just like a little make shift handwash also.

[@dorakiraly6770]

An outhouse project sounds good.👍

[@sylviagraves1671]

Soap it up and scrub it ...❤

[@Nayel-vs3os]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Pumpkin seed oil oral supplements will help your hair regrow and thicken up brother. Massage apple cider vinegar into your scalp a few times a week. Do all this for 3 months and then see. You're welcome.

Hey Nick! My birthday is July 3rd. Born @ 9:29PM . 2.5 hours later and I would have been a Firecracker! We’re both CANCER Zodiac.
