- Hello everyone! Roxane and I unexpectedly met someone in town that would let us pick his brain about building our house. He gave us some really good guidance and we got to ask him a ton of questions. He was a really nice guy! This will be priceless for us when it comes to future projects on the house. We also started to wire Wyatt's room for power. Thank you for being here, we appreciate you all! Enjoy!

I'm with Cyndi Brown, you will need more outlets in the kitchen. You automatically have a separate one for the stove and fridge, but you will need one for your toaster, coffeemaker, mixer, crockpot etc. I live in a senior building and i only have 4 in my kitchen. I have to run extension cords sometimes to cook for holidays, etc. You do such a professional job on everything and keep everything so neat. Also, I lived in a mobile home before which is similar to your shedominium, you should heat wrap your pipes under the house because if the power goes out your pipes will freeze. I learned the hard way. Keep sharing your homesteading growth with us. Love it!
Carol I’m with you on on electrical outlets in the kitchen.. you can’t have too many in my opinion.. better to have more outlets than you need, than not enough through out the house..
You should have two circuits for the kitchen. Toasters, microwaves, etc., use a lot of watts.
The more the merrier.
Wish my moble had more kitchen outlets!
Outlets in the kitchen area is always an issue. We built a house that the electrician put double gang plugs every 3 feet in the kitchen cabinet area they had 16 outlets plus the refrigerator and microwave. A year after completion the homeowner had the electrician go back in and install a double gang outlet on 3 sides of the island cabinets. So the issue can be enormous and still not have what is wanted where needed.
You can never have too many outlets!
Also, when you are doing your plumbing be sure to put cut offs at each water inlet. Bathrooms, and kitchen sink. That will be a huge help if you ever have a water break or things freeze up.
Good advice from the plumber about getting a professional when dealing with septic.
You guys are doing an awesome job. Great progress.
You guys are killing it! I'm so impressed with your work ethic. You teach yourself or ask for help when it's needed, then just dive in and do it. I love watching your videos.
Me too🙂
I haven't seen it mentioned but have you thought about putting turn off valves on each one of your water lines in kitchen and bathrooms? They come in real handy on the toilet if you have to replace the guts in the tank. Also my experience, you can never have to many electrical outlets.Just a couple of things to consider.
For someone who has never done this before you are so very talented. You are organized and always thinking ahead. Its really nice to see you both working so hard together. I love it!
Be carful with exposed piping under the house, even drain lines. Even with skirting around the bottom of the house, pipes can still freeze. Any pipes between the bottom of the floor but still above the floor insulation will be ok. They will get heat from the house. Any pipes below the insulation will need to be wrapped in heat tape then covered with pipe wrap insulation. Try to keep all supply line close to the floor decking
Properly installed drain lines shouldn't be a problem, however unprotected P-traps can freeze.
Yes in our stick and brick house, we have shutoff at each toilet and sinks including Kitchen sink. And they've come in handy at different times over the years.
good advice, thank you! I didn't think of that
@@lindamaskus5142 Yup! I cannot Express enough what an EXCELLENT idea that is. They will be so grateful for having that detail.
You may also consider isolation valves for each separate room. In the age of renovations and emergency repairs I have seen where being able to isolate a bathroom from the rest of the house has proven invaluable. Most showers don't have easy access and may require extended outages to repair so it aids in being able to make repairs while still being able to use the rest of the house.
It’s really good to watch Anthony and Roxanne as they don’t do anything without researching and then getting great advice I love how you two listen and learn from professional advice much respect to both of you and also to the plumber he was being very honest with you great work guys. 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️👍👍
A gray water tank will save your main septic system. The soap from sinks, showers and cloth washer will kill the yeast in the septic, slowing or stopping the process of the solid breaking down. Also recommend flushing a pack of dried yeast down the toilet one’s a month.
Don't forget turn off valves in the water lines for kitchen sink, both bath sinks & both toilets.
So you don't have to turn off the whole house to fix a leak!
If you intend to put in an island, it’s nice having an electrical outlet there too for you mixer, crockpot, etc. I use mine all the time.
Considering how good you are at building things, have you thought about building Wyatt a loft style bed with a work space desk under it to give him more room? I’ve seen some pretty sweet ones. Y’all are getting it!
my daughter has one, such a great space saver, you can put so much under it depending on how high you go
we thought of it, still considering it :)
I’m just over here thinking “why aren’t they writing the information down”. Then my real brain kicks in and said “ uh, crazy lady, it’s a video, like they can watch it over and over”. TGIF! Hahahahaha 🤪😜🤪
Great idea talking to a professional. My family has always been DIY yet my dad always told me, "You can't beat a man/woman at their own trade." My parents live in a double wide manufactured home. They had stone skirting put around the bottom of their home. I know you guys plan to use cedar which will look great! They had 2" pink foam installed on the inside of their skirting which pray foam to seal the edges. Their floors are so much warmer, they haven't had mice or any other animals getting under or in the home since. This was a big deal because animals would get underneith their home and pull down their floor insulation to make a nest. They also have all their water pipes (sewer pipes won't freeze) insulated plus put heat tape on them. They do not have any water lines freeze and again, we live in Iowa. Your house is going to be amazing. I also thought of one other thing on your electric. Here in Iowa we are required to have smoke detector/carbon monoxide detectors above each bedroom door. They must be hard wired into electric and battery back up. Iowa code of course.
So glad to get the good advice right from the start. Saves redoing stuff later-- do it once and it’s done. Love 💕 to all.
Hello dear , how are you doing?
Nice to have an expert give cost saving advice!!
A year from now watching others struggle with what is giving you fits will be night and day as you yell at the screen to do it this way and save yourself time and money/LOL. And I was impressed with motivation 101 kicking in and wires get run, fastened, more runs completed... time heals hard parts
Are y'all going to use pex for your water lines? I bought a 1974 model mobile home and my nephew had to replumb it and he did pex and if the lines do freeze they don't split like pvc does
It's so nice to see how everything is going, that house is going to be ready sooner than you think.
Giterdun!
Power to the People ✊🏻😎
On my plumbing I ran 1" to my Hot water heater then 3/4" as far as possible. I have tremendous pressure.
Remember, all appliances on their own breaker. Such as, refrigerator, A/C unit, dish washer, microwave, cloth washer, etc.
Need a ceiling fan in each bedroom and one for the living room? Many some Outlets that work off switches for lamps? Recommend Two-way switching for living room light, a Switch by each exterior door. Real easy to do. Just need 2 two-way switches and a piece of 3-wire cable to run between switches. Power to the first switch and the power from second switch to the light only needs the 2-wire cable like your already using.
How fortunate to meetup with that plumber. Impressed with the research you do so that you are so prepared for everything you do. Roxanne, soon those dreams will come true.
I would add.... you can NEVER have enough outlets especially in the bath and the kitchen! We bought a premade, 489 sq ft Park Model and spent nearly an extra $900 on added outlets in the house and on the outside! Sooooo very glad we did! I agree with a former post that large drawers ( big enough to hold pots and lids, small appliances etc are great space savers and keep your counters clear! I also love the idea of a loft bed for Wyatt! Gives so much more living space on the floor! I love watching what how you both are learning and doing! Hugs!
At the pace you're going you'll be sleeping in there by this summer. Great job!
Roxann if it wasn't for dreaming, you wouldn't be where you are today. You have a good dream, we can see it with our own eyes. Hugs to Y'all Ü
Water cut off valves for towlet,sink and shower really comes in handy if you ever have a problem with plumbing pipe. That way you could still have water going to the sink etc.
The first iteration we had on our pole barn house, we had some water lines in the walls and it created trouble for us. Later on we remedied it and reconfigured everything to be on interior walls. Great stuff y'all, keep going!
No such thing as too many receptacles in the kitchen. Also, Drawers instead of cabinets (in a small kitchen) Holds so much more! & easier to get at things. If you plan on canning, you'll need room for all your Stuff! Looking good.
Awesome that you got some guidance. Did you think about adding more outlets in the kitchen? Once you get a fridge, garbage disposal, coffee maker, blender, toaster, instapot, airfryer, microwave, stand mixer, pasta machine and anything else, there are some things you dont want to unplug everytime you want to use something else. LOOKING GREAT.
Chickens and critters are the garbage disposal.
@@karenball9482 true but that doesn't cover the rest of the kitchen appliances
@cyndi brown, we have plans to add another outlet for the kitchen. That will make 5 outlets for appliances in the kitchen. Roxane says she doesn't want a garbage disposal. We are going to send dinner scraps to the compost pile :)
You two are amazing love everything you are doing I'm so happy for you. I'm having coffee with you this morning nice way to wake up.
Wisdom is asking for direction, advice, instruction….. you both are wise beyond your age! ✌🏻&❤️
Love how you both not only research but are open to and ask for suggestions when doing your home build. That gives you lots of answers so you can sort thru and pick out which ones make sense for how you will be living in your home. I've enjoyed every video you have shared. The process as you explain what you are doing and why, and how your builds turn out, are always awesome! Just like you two! God bless you, Roxane and Anthony!
That was very nice of that guy to come and give you information about your build!!! I hope that you're doing plenty of outlets in your kitchen. I don't have a real big kitchen but I have 4 Outlets in my kitchen and an extra one on the side of my counter. It is very beneficial even if you don't use them to have access to them when you need them. Just a suggestion. God bless!!!
So nice to have run into the plumber.
Plumbing is oh so much fun. Any place you can add a access panel for future major repairs is also great so you dont have to rip down drywall.
Every one has an opinion..But My Favorite part of your channel is your Relationship and the Love.. then Thats AWESOME Boxer Dog.. Love Love.. Just say'N
Great thinking about having pro plumber come out to instruct you and to install or inspect your piping.
It’s already looking like a home. Exciting!
You all are doing great , I know it is a little early but on the wood stove pipe I would put it thru the wall and put the chimney flue up the side of the house. It will be easy to clean the flue and also you will not have a problem with water leaks in your roof. Enjoy your videos keep up the good work RICH.
One thing about DIY is, in the future if a problem arises you know exactly where to go and fix it! Looking real good.
Plumbing is easy, like a big puzzle. I worked at 3 well known Hardware Company's and I had the pleasure of helping so many customers. Till this day I get calls from the last job I had ACE to help an employee or customers with questions.
Roxanne you look cute in your knit hat--keeps you warmer in the long run.
Roxanne, you're ready for power and bed but I'm ready for some of your homemade pasta. LOL
Great 👍 Advice very nice Guy
All the electrical going on, you barely have time to question the plumber..lol It's great that he's able to share his knowledge with you, and show you options that'll work great for ya'll. You kinda put him on the spot about grey water though, he looked uncomfortable answering your questions. Love what ya'll are doing!!
I'm sure he wanted to say " put it in the septic " cause he was on camera, but he was honest about everything which is what we needed :)
Hi 👋 Anthony, Roxanne, and Wyatt , Anthony you work like a professional knocking it out keep warm safe GOD BLESS ♥
Roxanne is ready for her new home .. I would be too! Have a great weekend ! It will be nice to get a bunch done.
I was wanting to mention keeping the plumbing safe by
keeping. your water lines off an Outside wall because you don't want your pipes to freeze. Also, be sure to have enough electrical outlets in each room, especially the kitchens
These 2 cents worth from an old timer in Michigan
Hello dear , how are you doing?
That was great to have a plumber come out and go over all that. I would definitely have him come back out if you can like you were thinking.
Picking where and how many outlets and switches you need can be challenging. I guess I'd think about all the appliances, regular standard ones (fridge, stove )and those that are more flexible. Also, if you have say a kitchen aid mixer , that you maybe use all the time, do you want it to have a dedicated outlet, appliance garage or appliance drawer that pops the appliance up for use? Since you like to cook, and you're building your kitchen might as well make it efficient and exactly how it will work best for you 🙂
It was very awesome of him to come out and get us pointers. And with his guidance we feel more confidante in doing plumbing.🙂 And totally agree we want the kitchen exactly how we want it. We have added more outlets in there and I think we have a good plan on the kitchen layout.
Bless you guys. Your home is coming right along. So happy for both of you and your son. Stay warm, safe, and we'll. Happy building. What a great way to raise a family. 💗🙏🙏🙏
More outlets in the kitchen, each side of bed , living room for lamps. Never can have too many. In the kitchen keep them close to counter top. Not in the middle of the wall like yrs ago. A lamp on top of fridge is so cozy and can be left on. Put a plug in high up behind fridge.
With all those extra circuits in the box - having more outlets very handy and can be great for marking what goes ...
Kudos to Gary the plumber 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️👍👍
I continue to be in awe of you both. 😊💖
You might want more outlets in the kitchen. You can never have to many. You look more relaxed now that you have started the electric and you got the plumber over to talk with you.
Whenever you go to build your deck outside and that building to put your washer and dryer in and the hot water heater in, and if you have enough room, you should build a ramp from there to your thunderdome room on the side. Just a thought.
You guys are doing great. Love watching your channel. You work so good together
Getting good advice from a professional, smart idea , we knew you would , your smart 👍❤️❤️so proud of you two . Your doing a phenomenal job !
Good job guys! Nice that you ran into someone to give advice. Now you can really plan out how you want to do things. That's great. Have a great weekend guys!
Glad you got someone to give you advice. One thing for sure, you guys work really hard and fast.
You are an Awesome couple. Everything is coming together and I think very fast.
Have a great weekend and Blessings
Anthony we use auto vents in all our water drains in our house and have been for 27 years and they work great. We have never had any issue with them either. Beats the heck out of running extra pipes. Just remember not to use them on your toilets.
Awesome progress!! It's So Cool that you were able to have some professional advice on the plumbing!! God Bless and have a Wonderful Weekend!! 😀⚘❤
Yeah we were grateful that he said he could come out and let us pick his brain :)
More the merrier when it comes to outlets .. lol especially in kitchen .. as always you guys rocking it!!
This is great water going on ull good to go be in big house soon looks so good u'll are doing a great job I hope Wyatt is like school he will be out soon for summer break all the cousins to play with I hope the pool is up so they can stay cool
I rented a single wide mobile home and the electric was not wired right. If I had tv on, I couldn’t have the room/window air conditioning on because they wired the kitchen with the living room
1) air conditioner + TV + lights/overhead lights + front porch light+ plug in for lamps.
2) refrigerator + washer n dryer + microwave/ exhaust fan +back porch and over table light and gfi, extra plug in (4 way plugs for appliances (toaster-mixer and such) - was on all one curvy it.
3) new circuit-1st bedroom with
So much to do and to remember but you all are getting there one step at a time. Have a lovely weekend! X's &
We have always put our insulation in first..then the Wires are inside with insulation behind the boxes to keep out the cold...
👍👍👍before you know it drywall.
You need a scaffold with wheels to do wiring and sheet rock
Great video you two and keep dreaming ♥️. God bless your building Journey…….💞😊💞
You guys are getting it done, doing a awesome job, love watching your videos, God bless you both, love you guys bunches.
It's certainly a challenging time to build anything with all the supply challenges but there could be some Good hidden in that.... it gives you more time to gather info and plan... thus avoiding costly mistakes.
That plumber you found was a blessing for sure.
I did have this maybe wild idea... Habitats for Humanity has many talented volunteers that help with building projects. Perhaps some of those knowledgeable trades people could also lend their expertise.. and save you from some headaches down the road. Just a possibility to check into... who knows.
You're such hard workers, getting some timely guidance can make all the difference.
People helping people, working togeather to get families into safe and secure homes is a beautiful thing. God Bless
I don't want to be a bother, but if you didn't read my last comment, you really need to put metal guard plates on the studs in front of the wire holes, like at 15:45 and 15:52, so you don't put a sheetrock screw through the wire.
We plan on doing that. We installed nail guards in the small shed when we wired it :)
It's coming together looking good 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Come on Come on, I love watching yalls videos and you guys are doing a fantastic job on everything especially for two people who is doing everything themselves. Everything will come together in the end!
Don’t forget to wrap pipes or insulate in some way, my son didn’t and it was a mess to repair
It’s nice to have a place in your kitchen where you can plug in your phones and other things that need charging, and with a bank of them, your electrical plugs would not be unplugged snd used for that purpose.
You will be glad you got an extra large box! Just in case you want a hot tub! Lol
RIIIGHT!!!
Progress is always good! Before you know it you'll be moving in!
Thank you!! Cant wait for that. 🙂
Your getting there. I would have thought the kitchen would have been the hardest, just looking around my kitchen and I have 6 twin and 3 single outlets. Xx
Y'all guys are so awesome, I thought about doing the same thing one day shed into cabin in the woods as emergency shelter incase the power goes out in the regular house we can go to the shed/ house and stay warm with wood burning stove
Good job guys. Things are really coming along, so happy for you. God Bless.
Our stores around here are out of everything to. I have been just ordering everything and have it shipped right to my house. You guy's are doing a awesome job on the house. Keep up the good work!
From watching other channels, this thought occurred…with all the shortages and the long wait times for appliances and and other building supplies that need to be protected from the elements, knowing you have limited storage space, as well as Mel and Gary, what about considering getting a container or even each could possibly locate enclosed cargo trailers that would be useful to store appliances and other supplies, that you need to have have at critical times. Not having the space to put them and needing to wait till your closer to doing that project could delay due to availability?? It would be also a space that could be locked up👍🏼 Just a thought😃👍🏼
You could once done with the cargo trailer convert it for when you go on trips, if you are planning on selling the trailer you are utilizing currently?? You can check out also what Josh on “Wild Wonderful Offgrid” did to the cargo trailer they had. Or maybe you will keep that for when you take get-a-ways from the 41.36. It’s nice to have a home away from home, you can save on meals, have your own bed, and restroom.
Just throwing out thoughts out to consider/contemplate. 😃👍🏼
Pasta 🍝 & Ready for it All 🤙🏼😁👍🏼
Love watching y'all make progress. Keep up the great work!
Just a thought and maybe you have thought of this, but if you plan to mount a television or do wired networking this would be the time to add those in as well. I hardwire as much networking as possible to ensure i'm getting the most out of my network uplink. A box of Cat5 network cable online is pretty cheap and making your own cables is pretty easy, but fishing them through finished walls later isn't that fun.
I totally agree Terence. I worked in the cable industry for over 10 years. I used to do wall fish and run Cat5 and Cat6 cables all the time. It is definitely easier to do it now rather than later lol
Love how Roxanne is right there to help you with all the work. Your becoming one of my favorites. Luv ya. God Bless
It's coming along! I love that you got the things needed for the bathroom and then started to do the work. Makes it so easy to "see" how it will turn out and not have to worry if measurements are off or items being out of stock when you get there. Good job Ant & Rox. Will be awesome when done.
You will need ceiling fan outlets as well.
Hey guys, may I suggest insulating the exterior pipes, especially those under the house, and might I suggest running a surge protector in the house. The surge protector does exactly what it says. It protects your electronics from experiencing an extra burst of energy coming through the wires from an unexpected source. They don't cost that much from what I hear and it is sure a lot cheaper than trying to put out a fire in the house. Is just another layer of protection for home owners such as yourselves. Also, be very careful not to puncture your wires with anything sharp so as to prevent the system from arcing and shorting out the system. Is a pain in the butt trying to troubleshoot the situation after the fact. Just a though. Take care and be well guys. Much love from Vancouver Canada.
Dude... ya'll videos are so inspirational! God bless!!
Glad see you both I look forward to seeing your videos. Glad your getting advice from people who doing pluming and things. I try to give you ideas and professional advice on comments and lives but you don’t see them I think it’s hard for you to notice everything. Just know I love your channel and thank you for sharing your life with us and all your trials and mistake that happen as life goes. You guys are great.
Dawns here ☀️
You might want give some thought to ceiling fans. They can save you a lot in energy cost with the distribution of both heat and cooling.
O guys you are
are shoure geting on 👍👍💕
You will regret and auto vent under the sink. They smell.
Hook the kitchen and your bathroom vent pipes together in the attic and then run one vent pipe through the roof. Not sure about code where you are, but the other bathroom vent pipe (if not too far away) may also be hooked to the other two vents in the attic so you only have one vent pipe going through the roof. Where I am, we tie all vents together for the entire house in the attic then one pipe through the roof.
You both doing good. It takes time. Good luck.
I look forward in watching all of your videos! I am so excited for you guys on building your new home! Love you guys!
Thanks so much!!
I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with the work that you have done. Getting the consultation from a professional on the wiring was such a timely thought, to reinforce your plans with actual facts. As Matt Crocker would say, "Toooo many nice!" Great job guys!
Baby steps guys your doing great!
Good job you two. God's blessings.
Love the progress you are making ♥️😊
