CHEAP and EASY Off Grid Tiny Cabin With Running Water!

I chased money when I was younger, it nearly killed me. I have learned to live with less and I now measure my wealth by the time I have that is mine. Soon it will be 100% all mine but right now it's pretty damn close and it gives me motivation to strive for that last little bit. I can't tell you how much I love watching you and your family work and play together, if more people followed your example I truly believe that the world would be a much better place 🫶💫

I am 68 years old and almost 69, this September I will begin building my tiny home, 10 by 7 with a 4 by 7 deck. Yeah!

Nice tiny cabin. You taught your daughters well. My daughter does all the building and fixing everything in her home.

My husband and l are in our 60s with a few health conditions. We lived pretty isolated up until a few years ago and l have to say, l so miss it. We are closer to a smaller town but still on some land. We make the best of it and couldn’t live in suburbia. It would be like expecting an oak tree to grow in the Sahara, I’d die. Your place is so beautiful, you are no doubt what many aspire to be. I praise you both for showing people the “how TOs) and that it CAN be done. I gotta say, that cabin is pretty nice for a starter place on the land. All the best to you. 🙏🏻 💕

You guys have the BEST off grid channel. Please keep whatever you doing. It’s awesome as it is. (Other similar type channels started making videos with clickbait titles and I’m not a fan of that) Wishing you all my best and have an amazing weekend!

If you put a rail on the floor, it could open and close like a draw in the kitchen, and even have the soft closing track. This would make it so much easier for one person to slide in or out depending on if you want it to be a bed, or a sofa.

No man will show these ladies up ever.

She shows real skill with the sledge hammer. probably not her first time. I'm impressed.

Rose looks just as pretty as ever ! Great job , I really enjoy your videos ..

I've been jealous of y'all for a long time. You've got it made...love all the videos since way back. Ya'll take care...👍

Love the cabins you built together as a family!! ❤ Next you ought to build a Saw Mill Lean-To Shed.. while you've got all your girls at home to help! 😉

I'm 6'1" at 280lbs... I'm not a tiny guy. I would need a basement with that. And a penthouse. And a workshop. And an armory/reloading room. And a kitchen with a copious supply of coffee. And... I just kinda realized, I'm awfully needy.

Those are awesome! I've built 2, double lofted 12×16's, which put the sleeping lofts upstairs for the younger ppl, and I put a Murphy bed downstairs for myself or older ppl. I put a black painted 30 gallon drum outside for hot water, a 12 volt pump for kitchen, and bathroom. Refrigerator 4.4 cu ft, all niceties of home, only off grid. At a cost of $3100 USD each, fully furnished. I love ya'll and your ingenuity, hard work, and togetherness. ❤

You really need to put at least a 4 inch extension on the shower drain to get the water away from that beam!

Re the shower. I've been to many backcountry lodges during the winter for ski touring & most have a sauna with a gravity type shower, either a bag or a watering can. The water for the shower is heated in the sauna. A couple dashes out the door to roll in the snow augment the whole sauna experience. One of the lodges decided to try an on-demand propane unit similar to yours. Don't recall where it was made but seemed like a pretty well-built little unit. Since they have micro hydro with a good deal of head pressure it was easy to hook up the propane job for the proverbial endless hot shower... It worked great, for a while.... until one lady experienced wild fluctuations in water temperature, from freezing to scalding to the flow stopping completely. Not a pleasant experience in the middle of winter (-20C) in a more or less outdoor shower stall... Can't really blame the propane unit as it turns out the fine mesh screen on the water inlet port was accumulating ice crystals from the micro hydro source affecting consistent flow of the water. At another backcountry lodge, more of a 5 star operation with hot/cold running water & flush toilets, they also use an on-demand propane shower unit. Proper shower room with all the amenities indoors works great. It also feeds water down to the kitchen sink. There's a massive wood fired boiler on the lower level that feeds another shower but that's only sufficient for maybe 3 showers until the boiler water gets cold. The on demand is great in that as long as you have propane & the incoming water is above freezing you're good to go.

Your wife and family are beautiful! I have an offgrid camp with only 200W solar. But with that and a propane water heater, we can enjoy hot showers. And it's soooooo GOOD. At the end of the day milling or surfing, come in and have a hot shower, and then get dressed in front of the blazing hot wood stove....BLISS!!!!

You two are the cutest lovely couple I know. Wish you all the best there is along with ever capable girls. Kez is becoming quite a lady. 🌹

Rose is such a good sport

do a camper style dinning table bed ... then it is duel use why not put the hot water tank ON the roof ... and use the pump power to top it up ... paint it black ... and poof it has LOADS of hot water ... scavenge the potable water tanks from old trailers make em black and your golden ... heck even take their hot water multi-heating unit out and use them ...

Absolutely brilliant use of that tick for the jump scare setup!😱 Hey put some rollers on, that bed would be fine. I tried those propane water heaters. You got to blow them out with some air The first one lasted a couple of months and then it just stopped igniting. I checked batteries, contacts etc. I went through the whole thing! I went through the second one to compare a new one to my dead one and found that the flow sensor was shot. I ended up cannibalizing both units and made one that was manually fired.
