Renting a Forklift for the Off-Grid Homestead To Do List
Переглядів 1869 годин тому
Thanks for watching and taking part in our journey for a life more free. We are building an off-grid homestead in hopes to obtain self-sustainability. In this video, we share all of the different ways a skid steer with forks could be useful on the homestead. The forks proved to be incredibly valuable. I don't know how we did anything without them!

Hey everyone! We are so glad you decided to stop by and see what we are up to on the homestead. In this video, Joe and I are building a fence for our lagoon. This will allow us to not only get an address, but build a bathroom on the homestead! This is a huge task to accomplish by ourselves. We were quoted $4500 from an outside company to put it up for us! So even with the challenges we faced, w...

Переглядів 6112 місяці тому
Hey there! We are so glad you stopped by to see what we are up to. There is a new project everyday! Joe and I are working on making the "bedroom" of the tiny house. We don't use the loft space and I am terrified of heights, so it makes sense to tear it out. But once we get it out, then what?

If they're asking more than fifty bucks then they're asking too much
The wind is the problem for me.Too much wind and all the time really sucks
Hope you found your O-Ring. using a piece of small speaker wire will help with installing it if there are two races and you have to get the seal to the second race.
❤❤❤🥳
I am making cinnamon roles this weekend 1 😊 Thank you!
Where's the forklift?
I can run a Stihl
X & O door! ❤
One step at a time. Good morning ☕☕😎😎
That is how we do it. Good morning!
My man, the lord is by your side every step of the way. Turn the key on and just listen for a buzz to see if pump is working. God bless.
Amen!
God is good all the time.
Amen!
Amen!
Love it, start a new trend.
I love that idea!!
Wow, day by day brother. Looking sweet. God bless
Thank you! We appreciate your encouragement.
12:55 this is the part of homesteading that I would fail horribly at. Butcher time :( Concrete slab looks great! Good work.
Thanks Rich. There is one thing for sure, there is nothing easy about this life. But, there is great satisfaction knowing how your food was treated and where it came from. So I guess, the hard part pays off in the end.
I bought a new Graceland, 16x40, put it off grid at 7,000ft. Installing one of these soon. Thanks for posting this video. 😊
That sounds awesome! You are in for a treat!
Pipe, pipe and more pipe will make that process slick as a whistle
That's amazing! What skill he demonstrates moving the house.
He has a knack for making it look easy!
What an awesome process!!!
You guys are amazing everything is starting fall into place, animals look happy it's starting to look like American Roots Homestead ❤
Thank you Terminator, we appreciate your encouragement! One step at a time, we are coming along.
“Dogs are in there, Chicken on the porch.” My people! Love you guys! Be blessed ❤🌿
No other way than with the animals in the mix! Love and miss you guys too! Stay safe♥︎
Greetings from Western Canada! If my opinion is worth something, I believe that the most important aspect of your excellent installation is all of the love and supportive encouragement that you received throughout this entire video. When a man is encouraged and supported, by those who love him, even what seems to be impossible - becomes possible. Well done!
Thank you for the kind words!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
We are glad you enjoyed it!
What kind of gas milage did you get? and What was your avg speed? I presume you kept it under 70 (if it would even go that fast)? I'm deciding between the 26 Diesel from Penske or the Same 26 you used from U-Haul. I know I will load mine heavy so fuel economy/cost is a concern. Thank You.
There were a number of factors that went into the fuel cost. We were towing and that added to the fuel charge. We rented three different ones overall, all U-Haul. A diesel would be the way to go, in my opinion.
Can you be more specific as to “Northern” Arizona? To me, North is Flagstaff; middle is Sedona and Jerome. Are you anywhere near the Havasupai Gorge?
Closer to St.john near the border.
Indien slechte trek, zou ik de schouw verhogen 🔥🔥🔥👍
Hi Folks; I don't know where you live now so your range of searching may be different than others, but someplace you might not have considered (I now it sounds weird unless you have been here), is Northern Arkansas, I looked everwhere before amd landed here. lots of trees amd water, gpod land prices and cities within less than two hours from anywhere. Plus, if you are planning to build, you can do so with your own trees with only a sawmill. If you are interessted let me know. Thhere are also lots of business idea that work in this area. Skip
I call mine the Scratchelor Pad! lol Yours is fancy smancy! I love it!
Looking good! I love watching the chickens, something gratifying about seeing them happy. Be blessed ❤️🌿
I know, I love listening to their happy noises too! Love and miss you sweet friend.♥︎
You guys are starting to look like true homesteaders welcome to homesteading ❤
Beautiful gray fluffer ❤❤❤
Thanks! We're so in love with her!
Why didn't you say how much the property cost ???
What tile did you use for the wall?
It was a slate tile we purchased at Lowe’s
Jess amazing work y’all did!! Question: what is the lagoon’s purpose and why fenced in?
Hi there! Great question. The lagoon is for waste water and it is fenced in because we have livestock and the state environmental services require it to be fenced in to obtain a use permit.
Sure looks like a lot of hard work, hopefully it lasts a lifetime. You guys did great as usual.
Us too! It took a lot longer than expected lol.
Lol... half bubble off plumb nah its dead nut son.. awesome job guys!
Thanks! We earned this badge!
Both of you are the example of " I will make it " Hold the Line
Don’t give an inch.
Joe is a beast...
