Nothing you guys ever post is boring. I look forward to whatever the project is and how it's done. Thanks.
Totally agreed❤
Greg putting in posts to strengthen the roof is a excellent idea .
You guys really do make a good team one of these days we gotta do a bloopers reel
Yeah I bet that would be interesting 😂😂😂❤
Greg ! So impressed ! Canadian Olympics here you come !
I remember when I was working that I’d get pretty tired by days end but now that I’m pretty old I don’t ever get tired of watching others work 😊
Happy to hear young(er) people listening to Talking Heads
Power Shed really turned out great and I really like the post at each corner. Y’all never have a boring video or content - you two could stand outside in the rain or wind and it’d still be an interesting video! Greg’s gymnastics is always a plus!
Katie, you hit another home run with your video intro. I imagine you two are glad the power shed is completed so you can move on to your next project. Blessings to you.
The ATV has finally found it's home. The roof line turned out really well to follow the unusual shaped buildings around it. The goats will foilage the forest as they eat their way aound the mountain, followed by the chickens cleaning up after any leftover morsels. The beasts are taking over your homestead.
You two work together in such harmony, anticipating each other’s moves you are a joy to watch. Thank you.
I'm impressed Greg. Getting on the roof.
Really glad to see you adding some support for that cantilevered porch thingy. I think the finish colors look great! Power Shed complete!!!!!!
It’s so good to have it complete!
Putting the final touches on the exterior of your 8x10 off-grid solar system power shed showcases your commitment to both functionality and aesthetics. The meticulous care you put into this project highlights your dedication to creating a practical yet beautifully crafted space. Your attention to detail and passion for off-grid living are truly inspiring. And I am Floating Village Life.
Looks awesome. If you paint the underside use sky blue, it is said it discourages wasp and other flying things from building as they think it is the sky. So I have been told. It works at the ranch in Texas so far. As for a decoration make a large lighting bolt out of wood paint it yellow and put it on the front or the door with the words Danger High Voltage in red on it. God bless you two in all things. Love from Texas.
Next year from now you need to do a show on how well the system works through all four seasons.
Hello Kids. I live in Long Beach Mississippi and absolutely love your channel. Your content and editing is superb. I like the way you start, stay with, and finish each project. No herky-jerky crap. You two are on task. I admire your work ethic and team work. You keep this old retired guy entertained. THANK YOU.
great day when I turn on youtube and you guys have another video up.
Homestead looks amazing after all the work you kids have put into it!! Excellent
Another nice Saturday morning with Katie, Greg and the critters! I enjoy your problem solving and matter-of-fact way of life. ❤
Hi Katie an Greg good job looking good 👋
Home depot or Amazon you can get a post holder that holds the post to your foundation so when its really stormy the roof doesn't lift up 😊😊
The power shed looks great! You might want to put a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher for lithium batteries in there just to be safe.
You have the best music! Your background music is neither overpowering nor is it obnoxious. It makes watching your channel more enjoyable for me. Thank you.
It cam a very nice Power station 👍 Kati thank you for the nice Music
It is very nice to see someone do 40 fives on trim and framing nowadays Most people nowadays don't do 45 because they're too lazy they do it the easy way and it looks not half as nice😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Looking just grrrreat out there !!! HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND...😊❤😊
How about a huge red Maple leaf? Or your own logo as an art work.
Maybe putting some pavers down or something in front of the mechanical room there would be nice for the walkway outside in front
The power shed looks brilliant and how you make building a shed so informative is beyond me I’m transfixed to each episode and not a boring second was seen even that extra cement block is to let you know if your getting close to the post without hitting or damaging the post as the trees will hit the block first 😂😂😂
Happy goats! Mocha looks good, great job!
So glad you put a stronger foundation in @ the solar shed. Your roof will be as strong as the foundation. Walnut is my favorite stain Katie & yet the mocha looks nice Katie🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Love the fancy foot work at the mill
Glad to hear that you are going to put a couple of posts in to support that big overhang.
Paint a big yellow sun with a smiley face on the wall.
Listen, the brown "mocha" paint thingy is perfect. What you could do is chop it up a bit by putting something like a wooden bench in front of the Electric shed and paint that with a complementary color such as a green. Brown and green go together as in nature. Plant pots could be put on the bench and paint those with colors that match the brown and bench color. Loads here you could do..
Teamwork makes the Dreamwork- good video
Excellent, an enjoyable build. Your site is one of the first I watch when I see it posted, thanks for sharing your off-grid life with us.
Prepare for winter is done , great work .
The power house is great ya’ll done a great job together
Hats make me hot, too! but a straw hat is cooler than the cloth ones......nice shed build❗️ Congratulations‼️
Shed looks great. Staining it is the finishing touch. Maybe add outside lights.
Great looking “power building”…it is better constructed and finished than just being called a “shed”, 😎👍
Great job with the power shack!
winter is coming good time to finish siding the house.
16:15 Good way to get onto roof. I was holding my breath. Good job.
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.Ich schaue Eure Sendung regelmäßig.Ich warte schon immer auf die neuen Folgen.
Greg is quite an athlete.
Looks great!! Now I can’t wait to see your house addition!! 😊❤
Shed looks great..love the scenery. ❤
Personally i like the color contrast of posts 🎉 yall always do great job! Im getting excited to see the addition start making it the perfact placefor you both in your own time with your own hands and off grid toboot... ❤ and always love seeing the fur babies ❤❤❤
Well done you two,it is looking very good.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great job Greg and Katie 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Looks a lot stronger with the added poles, what what do I know 🤣🤭
Hello Greg and I really like your Backhoe attachment for your Tractor it's really neet and handy tool for your Tractor and I'll bet it saves you lot's of money having the backhoe attachment !
It looks good. You looked like a southern bell in that hat. It really suited you. God bless yall.
I like the way the roof turned out.👍
Really great job you 2 young couple. Well done finishing off the build.
One thing if I may. Make sure that door locks. Expensive contents inside
Good work
Hey guys i watch your channel all the time , just a tip on rolling on paint or stain on that grooved siding a 1 1/4 or a 1 1/2 nap roller is a must I just recently remodeled the outside of my house and had the same problem as she had , I used a 1 1/2 nap roller and all my problems went away . Just a helpful tip for future problems ... I'm also glad you got all that solar equipment out of the main house, keep up the good work.
@ 10:47 I think the large over hang on the roof was a good idea especially putting the largest part over the front door side
Hello Greg and Katie ❤
That's some serious moon dust... Glad you did the supports and the atv still fits.
Colors look good. Looking forward to solar panels.
Just love watching you two! Good music today!
Nice job on the power shed adding the posts was a good call, you can colour it done.🎉
Amazing job that both of you have done
When it comes to painting or staining that's why I just use these spray gun or airless and once you learn about different tips and stuff you can really do a lot of spraying without a lot of overspray and wasted paint and handheld shield piece of plywood or some works great.
I look forward to your videos every day! Well, done Kattie 😀
Great work guys the solar shed looks really good x
6:59 Wood Finishing -Second coat of stain should help. Some woods need to be sanded before staining in order to take a transparent stain evenly. You could still go to a solid stain instead of transparent. Use 25mm roller sleeve to get : 1) inside grooves 2) a coat on quicker, then lay it off with a large brush to even it out before it dries. Maybe only tackle four boards at a time then brush it out. Oh. . . And using a wood handle/broom pole attached to the roller handle makes for easier, faster work👍
Really turned out very nice, well done.
I'd have no problem with that building on my property. Too bad it's kinda hidden! Great job you two!
Nice job. Very impressed. Take Care.
How about a barn quilt? It’s just paint and plywood. The possibilities are endless. I would go with a sun motif, either in a traditional quilting design or maybe a First Nations sun design in a nod to your BC roots.
Wow! You have worked damn hard guys to get that finished. It looks great, think the posts are a good idea too ❤xx
The posts may have been a cutting mistake but I like it better with a higher base. The Power Shed turned out Awesome!!!
God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
Sunflower on the shed would be cool
Looks great you guys did awesome. 🎉I love the color it works good with the dust and dirt. ❤ God Bless 🙏🏻
Looks great. You two do good work.
You mentioned art work for your power shed… I have old license plates from our vehicles on my storage building. But, you could use all the leftover metal items (used saw blades, nuts & bolts, plumbing parts, old tools, etc.) from all your building projects. Make a frame on a scrap piece of plywood, then glue or tack random parts in random places til the space is filled. Paint it white or whatever color you like.
nice to see you staining vs painting exterior wood, I tell all my customers to do that. If you put a pole on your roller it makes rolling the stain/paint soooo much easier. I use a telescoping paint pole for good flexibility.
Congrats for your new house 🏠 power house
Accomplish by hard work and team work that made it all happens. Good job and keep it up.stay strong and Godbless.
Building looks great
How about a Circle Garden with flowers and goats hanging out around it and munching on the leaves and flowers for desert.
Looking great you two
Power shed looks great!
Love it. If we weren't older now ,We would do this in a heart beat. Good job you two.
I love the way it came out! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻
As you were first putting the 2nd coat on it almost looked green! Eddie
Great work and a perfect save for the front end of the roof.
Thanks ☺️
Shed looks better I like it
Nice job !!
2nd coat looks good Katie
Trim looks nice Greg
That is a great job and it looks really nice 😊
Decoration idea.... old large sawmill blade painted to look like a flower ... or if you are good at murals do that instead :)
Stephen is so cute with his tiny little horns, soo cute!!
for the door on the shed, paint the top and the bottom of the door. So many people miss that and it prematurely rots exterior doors. Some new doors say if the top and bottom aren't painted that it voids the warranty.
The power shed really turned out nice and you guys should be very proud of it. For wall art, how about some different sized lightning bolts arranded on the side. You can Google clip art for it and cut them out of wood, paint to whatever contrast color you choose. Just my 2¢ It was fun seeing all the animals around your property. I look forward to your next projects. Have a great week and I'll see you on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
I really think it looks amazing.
Another fantastic job completed by you guys!!
Another great build Greg,& Katie. The power shed is functional for all your needs. Looks great,& will last a long time. Your homestead is coming together so nicely. Even your animals are settling in, like they’ve lived there forever. Keep up the great work.💯👍🏾😀💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
That solid brown colour you have on the Power Shed looks pretty good. And Katie, that new sun hat you have is just magnificent. Looks really good on you.
I always watch and like your videos,they don’t need music.
