If you've missed the last few episodes, we decided to buy a cabin after building a home using intermodal containers turned out to be a LOT more of a challenge that we realized! It has been a LONG 4 years of self building our home and it's time we start living again. Now that it's been a few weeks, this cozy cottage is exactly what our souls needed!

How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward.

This time last year if we were dealing with all of this and still living at The Land, it would’ve been devastating. I just know we’d be taking weeks off from posting and would be in such a bad headspace! I’m sure this goes without saying, but while this situation is still very stressful and definitely sucks…it made me so happy while editing this video how present we were with one another at the Cabin. If you watch our videos often, you probably noticed I've cut back on including the cutesy kissy moments that happen when we forget the camera's are rolling. We experienced some homophobia last year, which made us retreat a bit but watching all this footage back one thing was so clear...love is love and we'll get through it together. As always, thanks for listening to us ramble and being here every Sunday, love you xo ❤
Love is Love. ❤️😍
I clicked and subscribed a few years ago, ya'll bought me a Tesla (in my dreams😂) so I could "Dew Drop Inn" and well, the ONLY option is to Move On In when the "Welcome Rug is Down🤣💯‼️" I luv ya'll bunches, deb in T&TSolutionsTownz, SC🐕🐕🐈⬛ 04/28/2024😊😅😁
I think it is lovely when you get lost in the moment and show affection. Homophobic people should scroll past. We should all have someone who looks at them like you look at each other. ❤
❤
Seriously, I've never seen any couple who love each other, work well together, and have as much fun as you two do. So I keep watching your vids so the thought vibration can raise the bar...that all of us can love a romantic partner as much as you two love each other. ❤❤❤❤
Please don't take this as a negative, but I hope you are taking legal action on the contractors that made all the mistakes. You both deserve so much more. I watched you feeding those jokers and pitching in keeping everything cleaned up for them everyday after they left. You deserved so much more. Sending hugs and much love your way for a better outcome this time. You are both amazing and uplifting to watch. I watch you every Sunday and love you. Thank you for your content. You are amazing.
Ditto
I agree! Hold the contractors accountable! They at least should refund what you have already paid them, and also pay for the work to redo what they messed up! I know Canadian Law has limitations when it comes to seeking legal redress in construction issues, but truly those who made the errors need to pay for their mistakes. At the very least, make it clear who they are so that others won't get blind-sided the way you both have been. I sense you are both "nice" in that unique Canadian way that most of us are, but there does come a time when enough is enough!
OH and thank goodness you have all "your feeding them" and "doing their clean up" on video to take to court. I hope it all gets settled in your favor. Then you can relax. ❤to you both.
Completely agree, they deserve so much better! I'm always shocked at how so many people are able to lose all their money, lose their homes, or have their lives drastically harmed by contractors failing the basic aspects of their jobs. Situations like this are genuinely devastating and happen to tons of people, everyday. We need to clamp down the legal loopholes and protects that allow them to get away with this.
We don’t take this as a negative at ALL, Roxanne ❤. Neither of us are litigious people, I really wish we were. We’re both sensitive and emotional people (not in a bad way, I think it’s a strength). Without saying too much; it takes a LOT for us to go through all that because of the fact that we know it will affect us so much. There have been at least 3 times throughout this build where the right thing would’ve been to sue people who’s mistakes have cost us tens of thousands of dollars…but what is our peace worth? Hope that makes sense ❤
Personally, I find the unstaged kissy moments, the silly dancing, and the sly innuendos to be utterly charming, sweetly romantic, and emotionally satisfying beyond description. They remind me of the early days of my own marriage and the bonding we did while we worked together to build a home and a life together. You are setting such a fine example for anyone, regardless of their orientation, to follow. Don't dim your light for those who cannot see beyond their own fear and loathing of anything that is contrary to their programming. But I'm gay and happily married, so it all looks pretty normal to me. Love you guys!
THIS!!!
Every time I see the" I feel cheap scene" just sets me laughing again. You need T-shirts and mugs with that saying.
We've actually been brainstorming about merch and wondering if it's something you all would even want...I've added it to my note 😉
Agreed, I'd buy you merch!
Me too 😂
You read my mind. 😂
Would be great phrase on merch 😂
I am sorry that y'all have had to edit your content because of hateful, ignorant people. Those special "kissy" moments that you share together make me smile. It is so beautiful to see how much you two love and support each other. The haters are just jealous because they haven't found someone who loves them like that. I hope they can change the darkness in their hearts so they can find love, too.
Well said ..... it makes me smile too with their kisses ..... I know all about hurtful comments which I had to remove ..... I love these guys ❤
I'm an old, straight white lady, and I love seeing those little glimpses of affection between T&T and the sometimes humour that follows. I hope you will both just ignore the haters/critics. I love seeing anyone's healthy and happy relationship and affection displayed :)
Todd is a whole mood and his vulgar jokes are back- which I just adore! 💁🏼♀️
Kiss away, boys. Don’t let those meanies steal you joy❤
You are absolutely right LOVE IS LOVE, and you both have a love that shines out for all of us who follow you. As a woman who has been married to my best friend for 54 years, I can tell you, that when you guys celebrate 54 years together, you will look at each other and say “what the hell! In the blink of an eye, 54 years have passed!”. Don’t change who you guys are for anyone’s ignorant phobias, your love is beautiful and refreshing!
Never apologize for the love you share. Personally, I think you guys are a great example of a loving married couple. Cripes, I’m in my 70’s and I still can’t fathom why some people are so miserable towards others different from them. It makes no sense and never did. I really enjoy your channel and watching the projects you do. I truly hope your container home’s problems get resolved. And I hope you will be reimbursed by those shady contractors. 🇨🇦
Exactly. Reimbursed! Prayers
Personally, I like the cottage better than the container house. I know you guys are so far into it, time wise, financially, etc. But everytime you're at the lake house, you both radiate such contentment and peace. Love you boys! See you Wednesday!
I like the lakefront house, but I also think the finished container house will be just as beautiful. I think T&T radiate joy where ever they are because they are together. Home for them is being together-whether they realize that or not! (But I think they do.😊)
@@ruarifinn I just know we are going to be SO conflicted when we're finished both
Buying the cabin was the best move for you two. Peace be with you.
I legit cannot even imagine LOL
The stick-built cabin is much than that container home. The container homes never work right. They are scams. They almost always cost more to build than the containers themselves. The metal boxes are meant as a system. The corners provide the supports, not the relatively thin corrugated sheet metal between the corner supports. Every cut you make for windows, roof openings, floors and plumbing compromises the strength of the container. I wonder how long your cantilevered second floor will last without sagging into the lower containers. You already found one problem with the stair well. Moreover shipping containers are not environmentally friendly. The steel that is used to build the container creates a greater carbon footprint than wood from stick-built houses. Wood is recyclable, trees can regrown. Steel is not.
That makes me so very sad to hear, bc I so enjoy those "cutesy kissy moments". It is a reminder that you are moving forward together despite the stress, frustration, delays, etc and it goes to staying grounded in each other. Please take these moments to kiss one another, or the animals, have a wine, make a joke, dance and be silly. Those who love you, love you 💜💜🐾🐾🐾
The haters need to watch something else. Your relationship is a big part of why people watch you. Lake house is really turning out beautifully. You now have a lake to relax and enjoy in the summer.
“You play your cards right the floor is not going to be the only thing nailed today”
OK guys, I laughed out loud at that.
It was a funniest/sweetest comeback ever!
(now back to watching the videos
I don't comment very often, but I'm grateful for your videos. The two of you and your videos bring me so much peace. Your cabin in the woods and being able to build the life you want is a dream! The two of you stay focused on your peace and live a realistic life. I love seeing people being in the moment and enjoying the intimately mundane moments of life. Even with the immense stress and devastating situations that have come out of horrible contractors: you both have handled yourselves so well, taken care of each other, and continued to strive to make the best of it by working with what you can at the time. I truly admire that. ♥️
Thank you Lisa, truly means more than you know!
It’s crazy that your country has so many laws and regulations around construction yet seem to have zero cares about the actual quality / correctness of the services provided. Ridiculous
THIS!!!
It's exactly the same in the US. They require you to pay for all these permits and to meet certain standards, which is a good thing, but then the same authority does next to nothing to hold contractors to that standard. This is why I'm considering trying to fully build my own house. I don't really want to, but I don't trust anyone else to do it right at a fair price.
I too am shocked by the poor quality in workmanship that you have experienced, but that I unfortunately have also experienced in the US
this is why I dread any home improvement with a contractor. every single time!!
I love it when Todd is left alone and talks to the camera after a glass of wine 😂❤
“Well, I’m asking you to stay!” Todd is one of a kind. I laughed so hard, warm tea came out my nose. TMI?
I think the white paint really works with the woodwork, floors and furniture. You can always add colour with cushions and area rugs.
I agree, plus white is never out of fashion.
Yeah, the white looks so much better than that dark green.
I forgot to comment last week, but thanks so very much for demonstrating the tile paint. I live in a mid-'80s built Florida house. When I bought it 10 years ago, it was rife with bad carpet and bad tile. Over time I have replaced some and covered a lot of the tile with laminate. Only one bathroom still exists with original tile. The tile is in great shape but the grout is beyond help. Thank God for your paint solution. For $50 I can make the floor look like new and save a fortune. Can't wait to find out about the contain house solutions.
Better late than never to leave comment! So glad you watched last weeks video with the tile! Best of luck with your tile redo!
You two are the cojones of the Cabin!
I’m sitting in bed at 5am in rural England watching you two and laughing out loud. I absolutely adore the chemistry between the two of you. The scenery is spectacular and it’s all so homely and cosy. I’m 64 and I still don’t understand how unnecessarily mean some people can be. Ignore them and be yourselves. That’s exactly why I love watching you. X
He cracks me up! "If you play your cards right........." Precious
Ignore the ignorance,and hate!! Todd and tyler be yourselfs ,so sorry people caused heartache ...glad to see you show your ❤ in this video...and if anyone has a problem its with themselves...you both are doing a beautiful job on your cabin...i love the new changes..
As a real estate agent who has done a number of home inspections on prefabs, I recommend you also consider creating maybe a brick foundation of some sort to prevent moisture from getting under the house. Most of the prefabs I inspected that were older than a few years had mold forming in the subfloor because these structures are usually on a raised open foundation. Because of the mold, most became inhabitable. You both put in so much work. I’d want this home to be safe for you for years to come.
Seeing people happy is a joyous thing. You are kind enough to share part of your life with us. I, for one, don't want you to ever feel like you need to be anything more than who you are! 🤗❤
My weekly dose of sanity and positivity in a crazy world . Thanks guys.
Seeing the insane amount of time, effort and money poured into the container home proves what so many others have said, that they aren't "greener," "more efficient," "less expensive" than traditional homes. That said, they look really cool and I hope this project works out perfectly for you guys. I'll be curious to see how it performs long-term. Glad you got the Lake House! That wood stove looks great! Well, the whole house looks great, but how could it not, with you two designing it!
You both have this incredible talent for making any space feel like a home. From my perspective, any space you’ve created, from the first RV, to Connie, to the Dome and now the lake cabin, there is a sense of you belonging there, in that place, with each other and your family. Love the new fireplace and looking forward to seeing the solution is to the stair tower issue. ❤
Agreed. Beautiful
In my experience, the first two years of renovations in a new home are exciting but if you don't get them done by then, you lose steam and enthusiasm pretty quickly. I can see your excitement in the new home and your exhaustion with the old one, and I really do get it. The hole in the middle of my brick kitchen floor that developed during Covid is still there with a stool on top of it for safety's sake!
I hate that those contractors did that to you, and hope you rake them through the coals so they pay for the fixes. Or get some peace, whichever. LOVING the updates you guys are making to the cabin, it's been fun watching that process while the shipping container house gets sorted. 😘
You make so many people happy! Me included. Your kissy face times are sweet. It makes me happy to see how much you love one another. It is so much fun watching you guys figure stuff out. Your house is looking beautiful.
Great wood stove. It’s good to hear and see your goofy banter back.
Hi @patriciafuchs5970! You're too kind, means more than you know... Have a wonderful week. See you on Sunday!
Omg fireplace was so good idea for your cozy home, love it.
Thank you!! 😊
I spent my day in the ER getting fluids (cancer sux) but got home to this video. You guys never fail to make me smile. Not even the giant fly and being exhausted can stop my smiles watching you. Thanks for keeping it real and sharing your life with us!
wishing you well
Chemo sucks. I’m a breast cancer survivor. Take care of yourself and try to stay hydrated.
I am 63 years old and now retired. I get so excited when I see you have put up a video. I have loved watching your whole journey from the beginning and have such deep respect for you both. You work so hard on anything you are creating and it turns out so great. Your cabin you are working on now is gorgeous and being on the lake, I would be in heaven. I love all your fur babies also. Keep up the great work guys and Take care. You are two of the greatest human beings I have ever seen. Love ya.👍💕😊
Sunday fun day with Tyler, Todd, and the fur babies the white walls are really making the wood pop ❤❤
“We’ve been drinking also’ - I love the way you guys approach DIY ❤
You two are the most hard men on the planet
"working"....nah
Beavis: hahaha ha😂
So glad you put a fireplace in! That space was screaming for it! Cheers!
I like white walls. That way, the art you put on it stands out. It crisply is clean, and it expands a space, making it brighter.
Nice to have a wood stove. Hauling, stacking, maybe even cutting and splitting the wood, then hauling it again is a pain in the ass, but the heat from a wood stove absolutely cannot be beat by anything. Enjoy your new addition!
This makes me so sad for y’all. Our homes are so much more important than just the bricks and wood they’re made of. They’re supposed to be safe spaces, in every sense of the phrase. There is a big difference between mistakes and negligence, and for someone else to risk your safety, the structure of your home, and all of that money makes me sick to my stomach. The good news is that it will all get resolved eventually, and you will have your dream space. Hope you’re able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, boys ❤
"the floor won't be the only thing being nailed" 😂😂😂 Todd, you make me LOL everytime ❤
Im with Todd. Nothing better than wood heat in winter!! Love the white walls. You guys did a great job on the hearth.
Awe nooo, watching you guys paint is much fun to witness. Don’t pay any mind to those that say otherwise. They have no idea what it takes to make your vision come true. My boyfriend and I really enjoy watching your videos.
With love and admiration,
Joshua and Logan.
I can’t believe how many contractors and inspectors could mess one place up. I hope you can take this further, it’s just wrong.
On a lighter note your room looks incredible and so inviting. I can just imagine sitting there with a cuppa, listening to the crackling fire watching the world go by. Love you guys have a great week! ❤❤ Your fur babies all snuggled, just adorable 😁
Love the white with the wood, openings up the whole house❤️
The cabin is looking great and it's good to see progress on the container home. It's always nice to get your Sunday afternoon updates, thank you.
Awww, too sweet...really means more than you know! Hope you have a lovely week, @Luke22022. We'll see you on Sunday!
I just had a chuckle to myself. My partner asked how my day has been and I said busy had to work today (not a work day) to prepare for tomorrow. I said it was so busy can you believe I haven't watch my Boyz yet....exhausted but couldn't let today end without my Sunday "connect". Have an amazing week. I hope you know how special you are and how much peace you bring.
You guys drinking and doing home improvement projects is exactly what I needed.
Great progress! I liked the green, but I understand dark winters indoors are difficult. White was a good choice. The wood stove is so cute. I prefer wood as a main heat source with electric as a backup. That’s what my grandparents had until maybe 2020/2021. I always loved to nap in front of the fire. Glass front is the best. So calming
It looks so much brighter and happier with thewhite paint. What a change!
Having the house all white is beautiful and cohesive. Looks amazing. The fireplace is perfect and that view is gorgeous.
I admire your ability to remain positive when there is so much to do by way of construction and correcting past "mistakes." Just want to thank you for cuing us in the existence of Incogni. I run multiple websites and dark web piracy/stealing of personal and business data is a HUGE problem, even though I have software in place which thwarts hundreds and even thousands of spam attempts. (and keep in mind that I am a small operation).
Just a quick question that you guys have probably already consdiered: Will you have sufficient fireproofing for the walls behind that new, beautiful stove? I had to place cement in wire and topped with 3-inch thick fieldstone behind my stove. Also, I agree with the white paint. It's universal and airy-looking! Beautiful! My walls are a very light ivory against the bare wooden framework, psots and beams --- makes everything look clean and open. Keep up the good work, and all the best on dealing with the issues at the container house.
I loved the green BUT the white looks amazing ❤
I’m loving your white wall! Please continue to make that cabin beautiful 🫶🏼❤️✌🏼
That's the plan!
@@tylerandtodd can’t wait to see the final result of your beautiful home! 🫶🏼❤️
Great job boys, I highly recommend a sealer on the concrete. They make some that will make the concrete shiny and they make some that will keep it matte. Please do it to avoid stain/scratches!
You are handling this all so much better than MOST would. You know and respect your limits. You both are amazing and I know you will eventually have what you want!!
At first I thought you were installing a shower stall, then a home sauna, and finally I realized it was for a fireplace. Looks great! Another great video!! Peace!
I love how sweet you both are with your fur babies!
T &T, I owned a post and beam house for many years; painting is a pain in the A$$. You made it look painless! 👍👍
It definitely wasn't painless, but so glad its done!
@@tylerandtodd It looks great; the white was an awesome choice, with all the wood!
Todd’s face when you were telling us why you needed the barrier coat was priceless! I love watching you guys figuring it all out. Your love and respect for each other is just beautiful.
It's a beautiful view of the lake from the couch.
We spend a lot of time curled up there!
The love between you two really strikes us...Cody 'n I have been together for 10 years 'n know the feeling between two hot studs....The love, the physical contact....Nothing compares. You two are an inspiration
I love white walls...so great to showcase art. Color comes in with the accessories.
Hoping the next contractor(s) you’re using now are more skilled and ethical. Sending prayers and positive vibes 🫶🏼🩵💙💚✌🏽
They sure are :)
Awesome! Btw good move on making all the walls white. It’s a better energy flow, makes the rooms look brighter and bigger. No downside. I’m very excited for you and your amazing family. 👨🏻🤝👨🏼🐕🐕🐈⬛🇨🇦🏳️🌈
Beautiful fire place! I love a wood burner! My next house! If it doesnt have one we'll put one in!
There is nothing like a wood burner! The crackle of the wood burning and the coziness! Nothing is better!
Oh your so right! There's nothing like a wood burning fireplace or a campfire! Enjoy!
I love you Todd & Tyler , i learn a lot from both of you , i look forward for Sundays , just to watch both of you . i love the transformation you both are doing to the cabin , cottage by the lake , its awesome ❤❤
On Sundays, I sit down with snacks and whatnot to watch what Tyler and Todd (and the furry sweethearts too!) are up to this week. It is an honor to be invited to share a little glimpse into such wonderful people's lives. I find that your videos sooth my anxiety, enhance my calm and inspire me to make my house a reflection of me. I am currently painting my office and am so excited to see the finished project. I have you two to thank for that. My only worry is that I chose a color almost just like the one you guys painted over in this video. :D Shine on y'all...shine on!
I absolutely love the white paint. It really makes the wood pop. You guys are amazing, what you have accomplished on the land and the new house makes me feel like a slug.
Luv you two so much. I enjoy and appreciate everything you say and do and I’m a straight old lady! Just saying. Your videos and podcasts bring joy to my life. Keep up the good work! Cheers to you and all those that watch and listen with love and respect 👍🏻👍🏻
Once again such an entertaining video,looking forward to next Sundays
Hey @lyndaharley8337! Thanks so much for this, means more than you know...sending all our love! TnT See you next Sunday, have an awesome week.
Love the corner fireplace!! That was a LOT of work. Love to see Todd was his naughty self in this video. Always makes me laugh🤣 Good luck with the container tower. I love you both! Deb. Love is love & it’s heartwarming to see how you care for each other. ❤️🌈
Love is Love you both are a great example of that. Sending positive vibes to you in hopes the construction of container home gets back on track. The cottage is beautiful what a sanctuary to come home to as well. Cheers
Beautiful but stressful
❤ Better days ahead! ❤
You guys just keep on being you and forget about what other dofusses say. Love is love no matter who it is❤❤❤
You are just genuinely 2 of the loveliest people on the planet .... Perfect match together and just so kind .... Wishing you love and luck in all you do ❤
You were done dirty and I sincerely hope things go well from now on. You both deserve a break. Wishing you the best outcome.
The white walls look awesome - Such a great choice next to all the wood. The fur babies are going to love the warmth of the fire. Well done❤️
I’m so pleased you are painting the cabin walls white. I am not a fan of dark and drab colors in a house, at all!
I love it when Tyler was explaining the floor and was like we’ve been drinking lol so cute!
You guys really do have an eye for colors and textures, you're just mad talented at design in general❤😊
White paint really makes such a difference. I noticed there seems to be no drop cloth or protection on the floor. Rollers always have a light bit of paint that hits below. Even when rolling slowly, paint "spray" still spins off. I'm always impressed and inspired by your team work and getting so much accomplished! Keep going!! Thanks for sharing guys! 💞💞
I was wondering about splatter too.
Private side lends a bit of mystery ❤️”nailed it”😱
Love the look of the new fireplace and hearth.
That amazing cabin.. is something.. it’s wonderful.. you two seem so happy there.. the homestead seems a colossal pain in the ass.. with all the structural problems.. to me you both are meant to be in your lovely lakeside home..❤
Good afternoon. Nice to see you again. Hopes everything comes out allright.❤
I am so very sorry you are experiencing such obstacles and contractors lacking integrity!
Thank you so much for your vlogs, I’ve been with you for several years and have even recommended your site to my grandson who has recently come out ….you may not want to be in the position of positive role models, but that is how I view you. I’m full of admiration for you both! Thank you for recommending people reach out for mental health support.
A Gram frm MO😘
Keep on expressing your love. It's so positive and fun
Charlie and Eddie are so chill.
The white wall looks so much better good job guys!
Thank you guys, I love you!😃😄😅🤣😂
You have probably mentioned this in a past video but I'm not remembering, what colour/brand of white are you painting everything? Your home is just becoming more and more cozy. I love seeing the updates and you two truly make my Sunday's. I laugh out loud so much watching your videos. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for you that you've finally get the solution to your container home issues, so you can move forward with that.
Im glad you added back in the cute kissy scenes! Love is love and the love you two share is so great! Also, when i first saw the cabin and i was so hoping you would put a fireplace where you did! Its such a perfect spot for it! And it looks incredible, which isnt a surpise, everything you do always comes out looking amazing! Much love to you all! ❤
The container house will be beautiful when it's finished. You are definitely putting your thumbprint on the Lake House.
Deep breath and stay positive.
Lessons, "or memories depending on how you look at it" like wow, it was beautiful guys. A perspective shift that's gonna stick with me for a long long time. Definitely made my day!
You two men are just an exceptional couple in how you work together to achieve Ur dreams.
I'm speechless remembering the installation and work thereafter. Blessings on the move forward. I am still waiting to see your decorating forte in this container home - it really is a cool home with beautiful bones! 🥰😎
Props to you guys for the amazing camerawork/editing AND pouring just as much passion into your projects. Also, it makes me so happy to see you leaving even more unfiltered bits into videos. We love your authenticity 😍
Looking so so good! ❤❤❤
