Time for a second channel, "Our Self-Reliant Birds". It could just be a 24/7 live stream of the bird feeder cam.🤪
Yes 🙌 thank you for saying that 😊
Hey that is a really good idea. I put UA-cam on for my pets when I leave and I like things like that for them to be able to watch. Not too mention just got the love of bird watching.
This is a great 😮💡
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oh I love that project that Jessica is working on. How cool.
but do you see who is doing all the work that actually needs done?
Horned toad- Grandfather in Dine' culture, a very nice sign.
Nunca tinha visto um cachorro gostar de comida de passarinho. Parabéns a ela pela paciência demonstrada para fazer o delimitador das plantas.
Jim & Jess - The place looks really good - those prickly pear cactus look super healthy- keep up the hard work! 👍
When I was about 10 years old and lived in Anson, TX, I hung out at my Dad's ice house. There were some old retired guys there also watching the dispensing and delivery of ice. I asked one of these guys how I could make some money. He told me how to catch horned toads and I put them in a box at the ice house and tried to sell them to tourists for pets. I did not sell any and he advised me to put a sign up saying BABY DINOSAURS. I sold out in a day.
You two are such a lovely couple and I adore your channel.
That cactus is absolutely beautiful 😍
The birds are real cool .
0:47 Just saw our missing lizard..... please send him back home to us in Yucca. Thanks!
I loved seeing the horned toad. I had one as a pet when I was a kid and he became very tame. They love eating ants and crickets so no shortage of food for them.
The last scene with you two standing there with the blue sky behind you dies look real . I know it is because I have seen the sky that blue with the mountains.. you live in a beautiful place. Heaven I n earth.
ur prickly pear is blooming great this year
Some fantasticly beautiful shots in this video. Well done.
Hey Jess and Jim, this was quite a good glimpse of some of your environment. Looking forward to the development of those earth tubes and when you’re built, to see how they work. Thanks for sharing.
❤brilliant ❤
The birds 🐦 🐦⬛ BEAUTIFUL as is the 🐕 ❤
Everything is drying up so bad you don't see horny codes around too much anymore. That was pretty cool.
Love the lizards. Good memories of my AZ childhood.
My favorite reptile!!!
The framing looks awesome. Y'all are quite the builders!
It looks like you guys have a plan well in motion, I cannot wait to see the final result. Keep the great video of coming 😊
I don't Remember,. WHY U R MAKING WALL INSIDE GREENHOUSE. R U GOING TO NET HOUSE?
Blooming cacti what a thrill 😊
You may want to place your diesel fuel in a yellow or other than red tank to avoid getting the fuels mixed up.
The cactus flowers are beautiful. 👋👋
Regarding your underground air cooling system, I seem to recall reading that there is an optimum ration pipe diameter to length, where a small diameter pipe will over restrict airflow. Nice concept though, seen many of them on Earthships.
zip tie the bride feeder wire to the solar flex arm, will just ensure no wing flying accidents and look better
You two are wonderful. Love following you along.❤
It would be great if you used a thatched roof or a living roof of grasses and shrubs.
The cactus blooms are beautiful ❤❤
Man you guys are moving so fast now
Cool to see how y'all keep pulling things together. This is exciting.
I LOVE earth tubes for cooling. Can't wait to see your system and how well it works.
Jim's Indian name is "Little Wood". lol Good thing that the Apaches still don't roam your area, you'd be in a heap of trouble.
Need more explanations of what and how earth tubs work . THANKS
We use to catch and play with horned toads when I was a kid.
How deep will you set the tubes? I like when you show the critters, plants, and landscape.
And hopefully the tubes are strong enough to not get crushed 😅
It's nice to see progress. 😊 It's going to be beautiful.
Came for the off grid AC and love what y’all are doing. I’m definitely getting one of the bird feeders you highlighted in this video. Thanks for sharing and hello from Arkansas!👊
Can't wait to see the big job that's coming up.
Good to see horned toad! Used to see them as a kid
really enjoying the progress--the cool air distribution plan--is ingenious.
I love the bird feeder! I miss California desert, The red crested finch and the cactus wrens and gnatcatchers are so cool to watch, do you get road runners out there too? I miss my gardens, I had miniature ice plants , I love the beautiful deep pink flowers and the various stone crops I had, there are so many pretty unique ones that grow so easily, like the Lantana you have there, Love those and the Ocotillo . The horned toad is so cute! I love solar lights, and things, saves a lot on electricity. I have been using a clap Led light 3 watts or 5 I forget but it is on constantly, I had it for 4 years now running the whole time. Awesome work getting things ready to start new adventures!
Lazy dogs, I heard that our Great Pyrenees were breed from dogs like them, a local herding dogs. Making them loyal protectors of their livestock.
Excellent video.
Eventual condensation in the earth tube will breed mold
I’ve not seen a horned toad in 60 years. They used to be around our place in Niagara Oregon where I lived for 20 years. Still close but have not seen the little horned toads since. 😳😊
Jess what about using sticks or small strips of 2x4 attached to the bottoms of your wire to better hold the cement mix for your borders?
You two continue to inspire me to work hard towards my garden projects and other goals. Love the views in every direction. Thanks for the update.🌵👍🐝
Your projects are coming along nicely😊Keep up the good work 👍
Hey Jess. Sure wish you guys had been at the first alternate build convention this past Saturday. You guys are such a big part of this movement. A lot of the enthusiasm behind Regenerating this off grid lifestyle has yau'll name on it. Nick and I hope the best for you both.😂 cheers.
Yay!!
Last time I saw a video from you guys your health was not so good. Glad to see you’re up and about. Please take care of yourself
Lovely video. Excited for all your projects. Prickly pears are beautiful. Are the trenches for cooling the house?
Hue needs a brother to keep him company. lol of course all your decision. Looks good 😊
I really hate being a wet blanket. But those underground cooling tubes need to be 10-12" diameter at a minimum. 10' deep.
I researched this alot 20 years ago. Small pipes don't do much good. Slow draw fans best.
Birds is how i get my Poke Salad . They poop down the fence line i just mow around the poke salad. Every Spring i pick it. It better than Spinach. I love both, 🧡 but the poke is free
James, if you run a diesel tank dry,you will have to bleed the lines to get it to restart.And in a pinch,if a diesel tank is about to run dry and there is no diesel available,you can just use straight kerosene poured in to get you thru.No harm will occur to the engine.
keep on taking great care of each other, ❤
nice work and deffinately looking forward to what earth tubes are.
You need a machine like that all of the time. The bigger machines cost less than those compact machines. A good older 50 hp American made machine should be $5,000 to $10,000. Good condition compacts usually are $15,000 to $30,000 used. Your columns need diagonal bracing so that a wind gust doesn't blow everything down. Good Luck, Rick
The tiny hawk and trowel on the tiny masonry wall makes me happy. You guys are doing great. Excited to see this draft ac unit!
hi, there is nice buildings you have there.
even if it is a off grid house it wont mean that it lacks things that a normal house have.
there is many off grid homestead people that is basically living whit everything that "normal" people have whit toalet/ ac/ bathroom/ computer rooms/ kitchens and so on.
it takes a little more to be off grid but that do not mean that you cant have things.
like solar can give you electricity, rain can give you water, you can burn your waste, animals like chickens and rabbits can give you meat/ eggs and the manoure that the chicken and rabbits produce can go into a compost bin then you take the compost and put it on the garden and that could help you to grow diffrent things, and if you have bees then that can boost things you grow in your garden meanwhile the bees gives you honey and wax and stuff.
what i mean is that if you are willing to do the work then you can live more then decent whit a off grid living.
anyhow hope you have a great day :)
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Every animal on earth except some insects will eat sunflower seeds
westport wa.state here. i finally got time to slow down. i can now watch.
Possible radon contamination is my main concern about such underground tubing used for a cooling system. Have you folks tested for radon?
Love your channel. Keep up the great work❤❤❤.
What a shame not much done this video.
Totally want to know what an earth tube cooling system is and how it integrates with your pole barn!! Super excited for you guys🎉.
Doing great ,looking great
Lovely property ! Please, show it to us more.
hi guys your homme taking shape so cool love seu
What are you going to do about condensation gathering in the pipe? In earth ships they are built into hills and the entire pipe is angled down away from the house so the condensation can drain onto the ground because the inlet is lower than the outlet. That's not possible in flat land. You could have a pump at the lowest point, but then you said it was complete passive and a pump isn't.
Drill holes in the bottom of the pipe and it will drain. You're right, this is critical to good function! Along with covering the entrance opening well. I'm adding this system myself.
so beautiful : )
I love that bird feeder ❤
Love your Chanel 🇨🇦
Great work! love the earth tubes!
It's tubular! 👍😎
❤❤❤🕊️
❤❤
nice neighbor.
Good video. Beautiful property.
Hi you two lovebirds...lol
Wondering if you guys eat the prickly pear cactus. My sister makes it all the time. Pull out needles, peel skin off, cut in straps, boil to remove slimy liquid, wash and fry up with other veggies or green chilies. 👍
Was trying to think how I would pull the air in at the other end. - Thought was screened off to keep bugs animals out, ability to drain water in case rain got in- would actually build a pillar and have the top be about six or eight ft tall- Think a termite tower- possibly a tube within a tube of rock and clay. with a wind scoop on top. With a air gap between the tubes. The gap would allow air to come in the bottom of the clay tube take heat and rise up. The cool air hopefully would sink. Then if you can have the windscoop face towards the wind and funnel it down the plastic tube. Your pipes might whistle like a organ. could be cool.
As I say to myself, “Is that a f’ing toad?”
Can you show the inside of your house?
When are you going to brace the rafters and things, at present it seems you are relying on temporary braces onto the ground??
Wondering what the cost of the Earth tube system is??? Also curious about how large your property is? It looks very large, but perhaps that is because we don't see nearby buildings in the camera shots you take? Beautiful dog in this video! the cactus and other desert plants and creatures are all very interesting from someone who doesn't often see these. Thanks for sharing your ideas for an Earth tube system I can't wait to see how well it works when the really hot weather comes in.
😎
Not familiar with what you’re building but wish you the best of luck
Thinking my comment got accidently erased. If not, my apologies for repeating my self. Bottom line is, where are you located iin the state, and I enjoy your videos.
Have you consdered putting in a pond? Not sure if you have enough clay in your soil to do it naturally
5 gallons of diesel?
20 bucks at today's prices and I wonder how long a runtime that gives you?
Good grief man, makes me glad I bought an electric.
Good Morning, Will that roof ever get finished?
Most air tubes used in earth ships are at least a foot accross the center and slope upwards and burried in a burm. Curious to know what your plan is and why you need trenches and how this haults your build?
Are they PVC, seems like steel air duct tubes would conduct heat/cool better.
They would be about the same as the ground stays at a steady temp. Metal pipe might rust.
what will you do if the excavator discovers the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine?
👍👍👍👍
Borrowing the tractor was probably more feasible than the alternative. That being a giraffe. I hear they love acacias🦒😆
What are those little pink throated birds? I’m curious because one summer they invaded here. I was unable to identify them. Haven’t seen them since.
