    There ain’t no doubt off grid self sufficient ( as much as possible ) is no joke ! It’s not for lazy people that’s a fact country living and self sufficiency is constant work every day especially if you live In a real cold climate.

    Leaving off the hose clamps from all those connections is a good idea. Much better to quickly reconnect after separation than splitting the line which causes cutting out bad sections and having more connections to reconnect at spring thaw.

    5 comments, 1. I have a friend who lives in Alaska, Through the "warm" months, she cuts a truck load of fire wood, most every day, In this (your) situation, cutting wood in the cold months because you need it, sucks. Cutting wood in the cold months just to stay ahead,is smart. Thinking ahead to next year, is the smartest thing you can do. I still say, you need another, bigger woodshed to keep enough wood for the worst winter that you'll have is the only way you can think about as far as how much do we need? One thing you have gong in your favor, the home you've built is super insulated, You have done an excellent job is doing that. The only place I see you loosing heat is all those beautiful windows, but hey, it's a trade off, I'd want the view too!
    2.That log, at least on this end, looked like it would have been an awesome saw log, I'm guessing it's always a Do we make lumber, or make more firewood?
    3 Your window trim, IMO, is second to none. I don't see you being able to go buy lumber and make it look any better!!
    4. Katy is one hellova hard worker for sure! She honestly does the work of two men!
    5. It would be soooooo cool to see you two be able to rent a ditchwich and be able to buy your water line! I wouldn't be happier to you do that, if it was my own line!

    People have lived offgrid for thousands of years. Much of the world's population was offgrid until the 1950s because there was no grid available in their area. Returning to that lifestyle would wreck most as we have gotten soft as a result of the wonders resulting from electricity. Now that electricity is available independent of centralized power distribution offgrid living is a viable option in the modern world. The window trim turned out super. Ya gotta love it when it all starts coming together for ya. All the sweat equity is paying off.

    When shimming frames you need to put a shim in fat side first and another shim thin side in over the top. Keeps the boards square. This means cutting the fat side of the shim to the correct thickness. Takes some time. And maybe you are doing this already. I just couldn’t tell. 😊

    New project for you guys .
    You have a herd of goals aaand a herd of dogs . I think it's time you build a dog scratching machine aka a dog beating machine . Like the scratches for cows only smaller a round bristly tunude like in a car wash only smaller next to the pressure pad a pressure switch und we r a plywood step the dog or goat steps on the plate and the bar spins maybe a 1 minute timer to prevent addictive scratching .

    Those screw type hose clamps can work out to be expensive but there is a much more economic solution.
    If you use bailing wire, wrap it around the pipe twice before twisting it and once both sides are done, twist the wires together effectively joining the whole lot together.
    That way the pipes cannot move away from each other and slip off the pipe joiner.
    It works, is cheap and quickly replaceable and all round a good thing.
    ALSO...
    I'm not one of those "nanny" types BUT...
    Just maybe it is time to get at least 1 pair of chainsaw chaps...
    As the old timers say, "An ounce of prevention..."
    And I don't think that ANY of us who follow you guys want to see the channel name change to "This Off Grid Life WITH ONE LEG".
    And by the way, those windows look... WOW...
