Last year we purchased an abandoned home tucked away in the mountains of Lost City, WV. Built in 1986 and left abandoned for 20 some years this house was crumbling on itself and in dire need of full renovation. Ask no more.... we were happy to take on that daunting challenge! In this video you will see the complete renovation from start to finish of this amazing mountain home. Watch as we tackle challenge after challenge and go from disaster to stunning!

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and the buiness/work related side of our life can be found on our secondary channel "Josh and Erin- The After Show". Here you will see us renovating our Cafe, opening/operating the Cafe with goods from our farm, building/furnishing/running our short term rentals, finding/operating our other real estate investments and more.

I’ve watched your progress with this house since the beginning and I wish you all the best for all the work you put into this project, it is by far a beautiful house. Congratulations for a job well done.
WWOG 🙏♥️🥰🇺🇸

Just came upon this video. What stands out is the genuine affection between Josh and Erin, and the Kids as well. The craftsmanship and skills are also standouts. Praying that your marriage and family are an inspiration to others.
Definitely are an inspiration. My boyfriend and I are going to be doing this here soon. Our first home together and it’s honestly all for our daughter. But they genuinely make me happy to see that the hard work pays off. That hard work is fun and fulfilling.
She looks like leslie mann. Even has some of her mannerisms. Insane lol
I love to see a home brought back! The house I grew up in my father and my great grandfather built it was sold in 1969, it was my prayers that one day I could get it back, 9 years ago I did and completely renovated it back to its former glory Noel. .
Sweet!!❤
You can tell that this family is a team and that’s a insanely beautiful thing. Great work
Met you both at Lowe's today. Just wanted to say you are the epitome of the American spirit. Your hard work, entrepreneurship and social media efforts have made it possible to build a family dynamic that most only dream about.
Your children will experience a childhood filled with wonderment, responsibility and achievement.
You're such an amazing example of family unity and true self reliance.
May God continue to bless you.
We truly love you all..❤
What a beautiful comment, well said ❤
This seems more like a romantic comedy about renovating a house, the love they have is soo real, it's inspiring!
Came here to say that
Well done,it helps that you were able to do most of the work yourselves. Always interesting to me how different the building methods are in the USA from here in UK. Good luck for the future
I went to the same college as Josh and he cheated on her at least 3 times just that I know of
@@uncleremus3211why was that necessary to say? And they aren’t in college anymore. Peoples actions when young and as an adult are totally different. If they’re happy that’s all that matters.
Sounds like your comment came straight out of spite/envy/jealousy.
And the kids are willingly helping!!!
Glad you showed Trent helping Josh hang the canoe. Obviously you two are very business savvy. Wishing you much success with your short term rental property and your restaurant.
I love how your whole family is involved in the renovation and how ya'll laugh all the time and make things fun
The renovation process was truly extraordinary, especially with all the other projects you guys are working on simultaneously. But the bookshelves full of books from all over the world is one of the most charming touches I've ever seen on a rental renovation!
How exactly do you find and purchase abandoned homes?
@gloryb5513 your town hall, Probate sale(Probate court), auction(need an auction license)..
You've worked so hard for this and made a beautiful home. Congratulations.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 👍😇❤🙏
Agreed! It proves that perseverance and hard work can payoff! I’ve watched the series from the beginning and I’ve seen the water damage, and the monumental amount of work needed to be done! I thought oh my goodness there’s no way. However, Josh and Erin pushed forward, and because of their perseverance just look at what they have accomplished! Also, I agree it’s a beautiful home! Great job guys!!
This is an absolute must-watch for anyone interested in home renovation projects. The dedication and skill displayed by the renovators throughout the process were truly impressive. The full tour at the end beautifully showcases the stunning transformation, making it both informative and visually captivating. 👍👍👍
You guys have restored not just a house, but the concepts of hard work, dedication, love, and Family. Thank you for all you do. WWOG!
Now, this is what you call a quality renovation. Amazing job.
Things would go so much faster if only you got along with each other. From the start, it's been a wild, wonderful ride watching the progress in building and family growth. I am looking forward to the future with my morning coffee and my favorite off grid family. WWOG. Thank you, Josh and Erin, for demonstrating how a strong relationship and hard work benefit all of us.
A good reminder seeing how much you did restoring the old building. A complete rebuild, and the end result is nothing like it was before. It is luxury place, anybody would love to stay there.
Love to you all from Mike. ❤
I love how much you lingered on the “after” pictures! So many videos show the final result too briefly to really appreciate. Such an adorable family!
WWOG, I have been following your journey for over 2 years. As a father of 3 children myself, I am so impressed by the daily examples you provide us all of Morales, Kindness, optimism and Love♥️ Thank you!
WWOG by far one of my favorite channels to watch. Y'all are an amazing family and really know how to take something dead and bring it back to life.
I can't believe the amazing transformation in this video. The dedication and skill in renovating an abandoned home from start to finish are truly impressive. The full tour showcases the stunning results - it's like watching a home come back to life!
This has been an awesome chapter to watch. Blood, sweat and tears have gone into this house, but more than anything, you’ve filled it with so much love. Every cup, plate, picture shows that, even down to what flowers you’ve planted. Good luck in your next big chapter ❤️
What a makeover masterpiece! You two takes us through the entire process from the initial state of decay to the final reveal, and it's like a real-life home improvement show. The attention to detail and the before-and-after shots make it a must-watch for anyone into home transformations.
Woohoo! This transformation is amazing...I've loved watching the transformation of the Chapter House unfold over the past year. What a stunning location to watch Summer fade to Fall, with the fall foliage illuminating the mountain skyline. Breathtaking! Congrats Erin & Josh, kiddos! Amazing job! WWOG. 🍁🍂🎃🐾
WWOG
It is not about DYI, you both have the talent to make incredible changes. Since I've started following the channel few years ago, I got inspired to make changes in my house by myself. This is what you can do. Thanks Josh and Erin for so many lessons you taught for me. Cheers from Brazil.
WWOG This place is so amazing. These two people work so hard on each project they build. The A frame build was a great watch. And now these folks have bloomed into a wonderful channel that is 100 times better than TV and show that with hard work and dedication you can do anything. Thank you two for the journey. GBY
Amazing renovation, love the relationship between you both and all the decision made throughout the period. The bookshelf was such a great idea with all those people sending different books and a lot of good vibes to your home. Great chapter and thank you for sharing with us. Best from Miami, Florida.
Words cannot describe the amazing amount of love, joy and hard work you’ve put into this beautiful work of art! We’ve watched from start to finish of this project and loved every minute of it! You guys are the best hard working team that UA-cam has to offer! Congratulations on one of your many achievements!
I've watched every video of this series from the very beginning, and it is amazing to see it all come together. You did such a great job highlighting all the best moments along the way. Not only have you improved the property, you have made so many memories and grew in your relationships as a family. The chapter house is an embodiment of life, in all of its ups and downs. What a great message to be relaying to your children as they were involved in the process. To top it all off, you made a property that will be bringing revenue for years to come and is something that you can pass along one day. I cannot speak highly enough about this project. Excited to see where life takes you next. Much love
As a contractor, I must say guys, you did a great job! Great design and workmanship. Well done. WWOG!
The amount of knowledge you two possess is amazing and I would love to come work with y’all for a few days/weeks to learn how to build so I can one day build my own home too. This was a beautiful transformation
WWOG Congratulations on completing this chapter! You both do such amazing work and work so well together. Your love and comradery are an inspiration to all and your children are growing up in your footsteps. I love that little Ellie is always there helping and learning. I can only imagine that Carter and Hayden were much the same where they were her age and they appear to be growing up to be fine young men.
Please, please, please keep making and sharing your videos. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels the week is not complete without a new video from you. Many thanks. 😊
What a dramatic transformation. You two have the vision and talent to make it happen. Your guests will certainly enjoy their stay there and leave relaxed and rejuvenated.
Absolutely stunning transformation! I've been watching you two for years now, and I'm so impressed with how you work together, the accomplishments with ALL that you do while raising a family. You two are on my list of incredibly inspiring people. Thank you for al the endless camera placements, editing, daily hard work and all the love you show. We see and feel it's genuine. Continued many blessings.
This is so amazing, my daughter Shirley and I would love to live in this beautiful Chapter House … I can honestly say that you have put your hearts into this new home for others to experience the love of nature and forever have those memories, Fondest wishes Sharon and Shirley xx Kent UK
You did a fantastic job on the Chapter House and documenting the journey means you can look back at the entire process and know you did it correctly without cutting corners. Congratulations.
Erin is gifted and the project definitely shows her talent. Well done both of you.
I watched the entire series and you two really turned an ugly duckling into a masterpiece. It is so beautiful I don't think you are going to have any problems keeping it book for the entire year and for years to come. West Virginia should be paying you for promoting tourism in your beautiful state. Looking forward to seeing your restaurant completed, it bet it will be another functioning masterpiece as well.
A very loving couple. It takes a strong marriage to laugh with each other during any renovation, much less one this size. The house is gorgeous!!
This beautiful mountain home is a treasure and I’ve enjoyed every episode! Sincere congratulations on the completion of this ”chapter.”
Erin & Josh - You’ve done an outstanding job with the renovation of this property. Congratulations!
I love watching your family take on huge projects and remain happy, positive and full of love and life. The chapter house looks like a great place to spend some down time!
I thought this renovation would never end. Beautiful and worth the wait. I hope the cafe will be open when I get there.
Wwog
It has been cool to not only see how successful you all have become, but also the camera shot selection and editing. Very nicely done!
WWOG Congratulations!!!
That house came out amazing. Erin you have an eye for decorating. The countertops are beautiful. Josh you can do anything. Great job to both of you.
You two are AMAZING! I still need to switch out light fixtures I've had for over a year.
WWOG ! 🎉 I’m in love with what you created with this place! The bookshelves are filled with love, the space is amazing, great work! ❤
Congrats WWOG on the gorgeous Chapter House! Your determination through all the setbacks and challenges with the rotted walls, leaky roof...its a reminder that hard work and perseverance pays off, and when it's the team of Erin and Josh, nothing isn't possible!
This remodel is stunning! Job well done! You can feel the calm, relaxing vibes coming through the video.
Great job guys! What a cozy looking resort in the mountains "feel". What's not to like about it? You worked SO hard and the design features are worthy of magazine pages. I hope you do well on the re~sale that it covers more than the cost of sweat you put into it as well as the building supplies. You practically rebuilt the whole house.
WWOG
What an amazing transformation! Such a beautiful home. I have been watching you guys and are constantly amazed at not only the knowledge and determination you all have, but how you sincerely do it with laughter and love.
Best of luck to you all on this and everything you do!
You have done such an amazing job with this house, it's really been inspiring to watch the transformation. Getting to see it in person would be amazing. Well done guys
The Chapter House turned out beautiful!! Your perseverance and diligent work are amazing. I love the colors and decor. The bookshelf is a wonderful addition. Kudos to your whole family!! 😊
The very best thing about this video and about this home, is the love of family that you share. This video made my day, thank you for sharing this with the world
We really enjoyed the construction overview and the tour of the Chapter House. It's really incredible that the two of you did it yourselves! Thank you for sharing your journey.
The Chapter House turned out amazing! You both outdid yourselves. Very blessed with talent ❤️
Congratulations on completing this big renovation! Your hard work and attention to detail is evident!! Erin has a great eye for decorating and the Chapter house looks fantastic. Love your channels and your family ❤. WWOG
Gorgeous remodel! You’re so lucky that hubby knows how to wire electrical and everything else that goes into all of it, and up high, Girl! You kept up, right along! Just gorgeous!
This home has been long over due. Its magnificent!! What a blessing it would be to stay in your home. Thank you for a fantastic opportunity.
This is incredible 👏 🙌 The hard work paid off 🎉 Erin and Josh you both should give each other a pat on the back 😀 😊
What a wonderful gift for whoever you pick. You guys are just amazing at what you do. Thanks so much for bringing us along on all your adventures. Good Luck everyone.
Josh and Erin - thanks for sharing all your hard work with us. You’ve inspired my wife and into tackle two sizeable and challenging projects in our home, with a third coming soon. Looking forward to a trip out that way!
That is a wonderful compilation of all your hard work! Turned out so beautiful!
That is a wonderful compilation of all your hard work! Turned out so beautiful! You guys have turned The Chapter House into an amazing get away. "WWOG"
I just came across your video. I love time lapse style videos but I’ll definitely go back find this entire series on your page.
Wow wow wow. Beautiful transformation. Awesome job 😊
You two have a great vision, design, style, with AMAZING results. Thank you guys for your good efforts.💛🌿🌻
WWOG what a beautiful job you two have done on this place. Thank you for this great tour.
I can’t wait to see the completion of your cafe and home.
I have watched your videos from the very start and enjoyed watching your builds, caring for your animals, seeing your family grow and love how you love and care for one another. You’re an amazing family.
I absolutely LOVE seeing you two work together to make your goals a reality.
You both amaze me!! So proud of your skills but moreso of how your love and humor keep your relationship strong and healthy!!
Amazing transformation! I love how you two work so well together and recruit your kids to help! You guys make great memories daily and is awesome to see! I look forward to your weekly video drops! WWOG!
You guys have done such a wonderful job on this house! From where it came from to all the small wonderful touches you all have included in it, are just stunning!! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. WWOG ✌🏽
The Chapter House is GORGEOUS! It's such an amazing feeling when your hard work pays off and you all should be over the moon with how incredible this turned out.
I can tell you this from experience as we renovated our own house, with the top floor rented out as an Airbnb (which we started in order to help pay some medical bills).
You've given us some things to think about improving at our place. Would love to share some things we've done to help make our guests' experience smooth and easy, e.g., getting familiar with the space quickly. Maybe we could do a "stay-swap" if you were interested in coming to the Madison, WI area.
Slightly off-topic: I mentioned Meterologist Andy Hill in a comment after hearing his voice in one of your latest videos. If you haven't yet, check out the Ryan Hall Y'all channel for exceptional severe weather coverage.
Wow, wow, wow!!!
You guys did absolutely amazing job at transforming this home which as you said, "...A Diamond in the Rough..." to which I absolutely agree!
Your home home is truly a dimond that shines everywhere that look whether it be on the outside and/or the inside!
I love how you two bring your children into the mix which makes it a true family affair.
Well done!
Love videos like this because it’s so satisfying to see real people doing real things like this. It makes me want to do it too but I live in an apartment so not gonna happen anytime soon😂 I do feel inspired tho!
The house turned out spectacular! What a beautiful job y’all did. Congratulations on getting it done! We would be honoured to stay at your new dig!
Just found your channel and love what you've done to this house, beautiful job and design. Both of you are insanely talented and i enjoy when the kiddos get involved. Also the bookcase and books from people around the world, what a treasure!
Wow, I love the design feature of all the books...that is a gold mine even if none are ever read...it gives a comfort ambience that you can really feel. You guys did a great job and really redeemed this house.
These guys are the epitome of what having a vision parlayed with hard work can achieve. The production on these videos is also next level.
Love it !!!!!! Erin really knows how to design and Josh, you are an amazing man!! Great work !!!
Love watching the interaction between all of your family, great wholesome viewing, my favorite channel to watch. Love the transformation of this house cant wait to see your new expansion on the main house. WWOG
Awww guys, this is just the most incredible transformation I’ve seen!!! You’ve accomplished what most people just dream of, and have made this poor, abandoned diamond in the rough, a truly blessed home. Now the house can be happy again because it’s sparkle is back!!!
It was so special to see the kiddos helping you out. You’re teaching them the most important life lessons they can ever have to navigate their lives as they grow up and become our age. ❤❤❤
WOW, what a transformation!!! Y’all did a fabulous job. Absolutely love this!!
Thank you so much!
Amazing job! The chapter house looks beautiful! 32:33
What a fantastic holiday vacation getaway escape you’ve built as a rental accommodation so impressive how you designed renovated it and all the appointments you’ve provided for a beautiful relaxing time any family could ask for ,,, congratulations both of you actually entire family
How cool would it be for the previous owners, or the kids that lived here, to see this transformation!
Always great to have a report from you great guys! 🏴
WWOG - house looks amazing! Y’all did a fantastic job!
Wouldn't it have been easier to build a house from scratch??
No building a house from scratch takes a lot of planning and permits. All they really did was knock down a few walls.
Its more sustainable to work with whats already there, which is something lots of people dont consider when renovating
I wondered the same thing 😅but these other replies make it make sense..
Yes.
No older structures and fundations where build with better materials and stronger.
That is the most undoubtedly vacation home ever. I can remember each video at many points in this video. You two did such an amazing job. It has a country feel to it.
What ever happened with the bad concrete pour house?
I was wondering the same thing.Never heard anything about it again.
Just kindly asking….wouldn’t it have been cheaper to bulldoze it & start anew???? Would love to know!
I was coming to say the same, but keep the chimney.
But after watching it to the end. It is Beautiful
It seemed like it might have been easier to just knock the whole house down and start fresh…….but where is the fun in that right😂
No that isn’t easier
WWOG. I started watching this channel originally a few years ago because I’m a handy guy like Josh. Building his family’s house from scratch. I’m a guy who’s currently renovating his own house. I’m a DYIer. And you guys have given me the push to challenge myself. I admire your can do attitude. I also secretly wish my wife would help out with projects like Erin does. Lol.
I hope they bought this house for nearly nothing, Tbey literally re-buikt it from scrap 😢
Less yammer, more hammer.
Just love how you brought that old house back to life congratulations its beautiful ❤
Watching the abandoned home renovation from start to finish is like witnessing a miracle. The video not only showcases the hard work that went into the project but also provides a thorough tour of the finished home. It's a fascinating journey that leaves you in awe of the transformation.
I’ve never seen anything like it. So much hard work and so many laughs. And you look like you actually still like each other. What a blessing!
This video is pure renovation magic. The step-by-step journey is fascinating, and the full tour reveals the stunning final result. It's like a visual inspiration for anyone looking to revive forgotten spaces into beautiful homes.
Thank You it has been a long time since I have seen a fun loving family working hard and having FUN at the same time 😊😉👍👍👍 Beautiful Home 🏡
You all showed how much love for the house and each other. It's always better to be able to do projects with one you love. Awesome job love the house and everything you did too it.
This video is incredibly satisfying. The dedication and hard work put into transforming a neglected house into a beautiful home are evident. It's a feel-good video that proves any space can be turned into a dream home with the right vision and effort.
