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 🫶💫
Wise Person!
Ya for sure, no doubt!!
Meditation and family time = secret to life
We lived in a fifth wheel and a sailboat, and you learn to utilized daylight hours better, conserve
fresh potable water and energy much more that when you are living in a place on the grid. We are planning to retire back to that life soon. We also recyle, rebuild the older stuff, since the new stuff you get these days doesn't seem to last, and usually costs an arm and a leg, and we don't need that much to be happy.
I too chased money when I was younger, to provide my family with better than I had as a kid. I get it, they get it, there's only so many days given us in our life, choose wisely. My kids have been a great joy to me, each doing their own thing, each providing for themselves and families. They're thank you to me was helping me build some hunting cabins, and yes, they will inherit them, but it was more time we could spend together in this busy world. Love God, love life, love family, and each other...😊
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!
Good for you!
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. 🙏🏻 💕
I feel your pain, as my wife and i miss the wood terribly
@@stevedawley3956 watching Gridlessness helps. I really love their set up.
My heart goes out to you Victoria I am very rural and I am disabled now there is no way ever I could probably live a city life or something close to it I would probably die as well wish you guys the best
@@wrinkyscarnagecrew l can say l still have it pretty good. We are down to 10 acres and surrounded by trees and nature. Not the way out rural large acreage that we once had, but lm not in town so thank God for that. All the best to you!
I too. Am in my 60’s. But I’m trying to get to where they are! I used to live off grid 40 yrs ago. Trying it again. It’s a better life style for me. And yes I have some medical issues, but it’s now or never I guess! Lol ✌🏽❤️
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.
I'm a huge fan of Jeff, Rose and the girls - and its never a competition between the sexes. But enough of the nonsense.
how will these awesome girls ever meet their match? find superman
She shows real skill with the sledge hammer. probably not her first time. I'm impressed.
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.
Me too!
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! 😉
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. ❤
I'd LOVE to see your setup. Could you share the Murphy bed plans?
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...👍
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. 🌹
She is a real pioneer momma!
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 ...
Good work you guys! Thanks for sharing. I heard something not too long ago that actually inspired me. Whenever you are trying to decide to do something or not do something ask yourself, "What is the price?" It's not about money, but about your goals. If you want to live off-grid, for example, "What is the price of that lifestyle?" Are you willing to pay that price, is it worth it to you? That question has helped me in my decision process for the home we're building. BTW, love how you involve everyone in the decision/building process.
Very nice bed couch, love it!😊👍 that's simple perfect cabin to start with in the wood
Come on now you can’t blame the maker of the hot water heater. When you don’t drain the tank properly. That being said. I love how hard working your girls are.
Loved this one! Your enthusiasm is encouraging. Can’t wait to start a life like yours. Thank you for blessing us with glimpses into your off-grid family life.
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.
Nice to know you could actually work on it. I haven't opened them up yet but I figured it would be mostly un-serviceable.
Froze my on demand water heater up also and I solder it up but took a lot of heat , map gas probably would be better guess it depends where it broke.
So cool.. Dude you are so blessed to have a beautiful wife and hard working too.. as well as your daughters and their individual character.. I have a new name for them.. GIRLZ with SKILLZ..!
C'mon Jeff I bet you can fix the broken pipe likedy split with some tubing or something and have your nice shower back. Would love to hear some suggestions on how to make a simple hot water shower set up from others who have done it!
it isnt a broken pipe the bladder in the hot water heater broke from not being fully drained over winter
@@ram1brn oh okay I have no idea how they work but should be able to fix it right
A great way to enjoy my Sunday morning coffee, thanks for sharing guys!!
We have a natures head composting toilet off the side porch for easy emptying. Over winter it composts and is it’s pretty much dust when we go back in the spring. And for a sink we have a hand wash basin with a foot pump. It’s the cutest. The reservoir is at the bottom. lasts all summer
2:28 bro really trust his wife hammering skill when he hold that pole unfazed.
Just made my Sunday!
Well that would make a great getaway for the girls since their growing up and wanting to have some alone time, and a getaway if you adults want to sneak off a weekend shag cabin they are really nice you did a great job
Julia is so talented and pretty!
Jeff iv had the same issue with those little on demand water heaters if I'm not constantly using them I have to drain and place them inside the main house
The carpenters pencil is 1/2” wide and 1/4” thick. For easy quick reference, especially when doing baseboards and other quick reference measuring.
Thanks for another great video guys
Love it. Just wholesomeness! Love the videos. Thanks😮
It’s the Love Shack
Another fantastic video, keep'em coming! 😎
Hi! The tiny cabin looks great! Love the view. Hope you all have a great week.
You could put rollers, on that couch/bed. So that it slides back and forth against the wall, easier.
Awesome video.
All you need is a pump and bladder tank for water pressure , not a well .have a great time 😊😊😊
Hi guys, I had wondered what you had done with the Tiny Houses.
It's amazing what a few touches will do to make it a home🤗.
Nicely Done 🎉.
JO JO IN VT 💞
Aloha. Yeah, me as well. I remember the girls building one a while back.
Good job
Love the intro, horse trotting in sound. Great work team ❤
I 2nd that.. Horse trotting by the drone.. sweet.
I want to build one of these on a piece of property we have.
It's possible!
Love this approach ❤
you guys are amazing
Might think about some kind of screens to cover the drains, the moisture under the cabins can draw
snakes, insects, ect. Don't want to give them access to the home. Love the tiny cabins though.
Good job guy's
Hook the shower up to your RV water pump and use a big pot of heated water as your water supply.
Girls, please use safety glasses around the saw mill. Love ya.
Pull. The fronts off them ondemad water heaters and look for split pipes, clean and solder cracks and good as new.
Hey! I'll try that!
@@Gridlessness I've had to do this before, you've got this.. Cheers
You can also power your 12v water pump with 20v 5 amp hour batteries, positive on the left, negative on the right, you can also use the batteries to run normal lamp with a led 12 light bulb installed
many thumbs up
My girls would send me to the hardware store for a water heater replacement or life would be difficult
Rose you should demand running water in your kitchen
aw man I even weant a little deaf, ear protection while running that mill!
I bought one of the XL cots many years ago. being 6'3" tall, it is the only cot that I fit on. the military style cots, I have to take down the support rail at the foot of the cot.....my feet hang over the end and is quite uncomfortable. The XL is quite comfortable.
beautiful Sasquatch County cabin
Hey Jeff this is the most important question you will ever have in your entire life so please answer it precisely clearly and articulate any details you think I might need, how in the world did you get all these girls to do work for you? I understand children that's work labor of choice for a lot of people hmmmm..,LOL but Rose swinging a sledgehammer? how do you do it buddy is your musk an aphrodisiac there has to be some kind of answer please let me know seriously this is the most important question of the era or even universe can't wait to hear from you love all you guys wish I could contribute a lot more then I do already 😉
It's so funny I have two kids of my own a boy and a girl and I raise them practically alone and I can't get them to do almost anything for me it's different now that they're in their twenties versus when I could command them to do something I could try now but they could probably beat me up and as long as they're not messing up in life I will not interfere apparently I didn't mess up in life and gave them good enough advice to maintain their own life and relationships what a lucky guy I am I just need to learn Jeff's ways of the force😂
Still My Fave.....😇😇
3:47 that scared me
You should connect the drains to one underground hole so nothing crawls up
if you have a half mil starting fund you can do anything.
Hi Julia, i'm a fan of yours😊
Bring a portable bed. They are very easy to carry rolled up.
Saludos a todos k estén bien muchos saludos a mamá rous agusto verlos a todos juntos bonito video cuídense mucho
My cabin is a modern fram on a concrete slab, runing water flush toilet , shower , washing machine full kitchen run off of solar , wood heat , lpgas cook range , celing fans ,.
520sqft.
try hooking up the shower directly to the water pump then fill your jug with hot water.
Such a deal I have for you Jeff, if your hot water heater is FUBAR I’ll give you $5.00 for the little drain screw because I lost mine and the stick I whittled and stuck in there drips a bit. 😂
I wonder if you guys DRAINED the on demand heaters before it got cold? are they even set up to be drained by design? Maybe... they're not as bad as they seem.
Gday guys
It wasn't the heaters falt. Nothing will survive not properly winterizing it. I have a cheap water heater .. had it for years only cost 130.00
nice
Nice cabin, but I noticed the lack of safety glasses being used. Splinters fly, nails and screws shatter. Especially dangerous is when using a cordless nail gun.
I sold tools and equipment for 40 years, most injuries I saw were because, the operators weren't wearing safety glasses.
Stay safe,

Is there any update on the Gasifier part 3? I loved that prospect of power generation!
It’s coming….stay tuned!
You have to blow those water heaters out with a air blower for like 5 minutes
Great job, wondering why no insulation?
As always you guys rock but you should visit Kochi Kerala India south India not North India and experience good good food 😅😅😅 best wishes to you for a happy life ahead
I need to know what brand of overalls Rose is wearing, I need those!
They are dovetail workwear. I love them!!
You must know that that water pump will give you 45 psi for your shower if you run the hot and cold water through it, right, That why their used in RV's.
Why not have a hand held 12v shower head? Not necessarily heated; but black container outside solar heated
Just replace to heaters and take proper care of them.
❤
So when does the tiny cabin go on AirB&B
For sure. how fun would that be.
👍
Did the hot water heaters break from water being left in the tank and freezing or poorly manufactured?
Apart from expediency, why not the cob route?
Nice!! What drone you guys using?
dji mini 2. Its got nine lives.....with one or two left :)
You just need an elevated water tank to have that pressure, Jeff; you know that.
See yah.
I knew an old Amish guy who said that he used a pump to pressurize his WELL, and that is how he had running water in their house. He must have somehow sealed the top so it could be pressurized.
Where did you find the tiny sink?
You never said if it has a kitchen. On rainy or snowy days, how do you feed yourselves?
😎👍👍
where do you dump the toilet waste
Those windows are plexiglass?
Does anyone know if Dave approves of these tiny Cabins?? I would also like his opinion. . . .
Bangun rumah lagi bapak Jeff.
Don’t let E. Idaho Gov. know you have water.
