    The idea to build a shipping container home was definitely one of the wildest ones we've had and if you've been joining our weekly videos for any amount of time you know that's saying something. Without question, it's a project that is much more difficult than we thought it would be but we're having fun along the way and that's what counts.

    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 concluded that establishing 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. This pursuit led us to seek a temporary residence, and after an extensive search, we stumbled upon Geodesic Domes, realizing they perfectly suited our needs while we dedicated ourselves to the gradual realization of 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.

    BEFORE YOU FINISH BUILDING GIVE THIS SOME THOUGHT: Go ahead and decide where you will put in a lift for the dogs AND for you when you get older. My parents did this when a lift was not needed and it turned about to be a great idea. All they did was align a little oversized closet space down in the garage that went up all three floors. It was operated by a simple motorized cable wench at the top of the third level ceiling. That way they not only had the closet/elevator shaft aligned, but also had the electric outlet and motor installed. IT HELPED THEIR DOG WHEN HE GOT OLDER WITH ARTRITIS AND EVENTUALLY THEM TOO. All They Had To Do Was Lift Out The Carpeted Floor Panels They Had ALREADY CUT OUT to Cover The 60"x 60" Holes On Each Floor. The idea has worked well and safely for the last 17 years.

      Yeah, didn't really understand what the problem was but I guess it was homophobism. Kinda ridiculous nowadays. I didn't think that prejudice and hatred toward Gays was so bad in Canada. It's bad enough here in Southeastern USA where a lot of people love to hate Gays. I guess one way around that is to make sure any contractor and their employees are Gay friendly. You could tell just by asking and observing their reaction. Why would it bother them SO much anyway? Maybe overcompensating.

    Love your videos - and a note about compost. DOn't go to all the trouble to move the compost from bin to bin. You just rotate which bin is the "current scraps" bin. When bin 1 gets full it becomes the bin you aerate and turn over, and you put new scraps in bin 2. When it is full, you put new stuff in bin 3, bin 2 becomes aerate and turn over, and bin 1 becomes new soil. By the time bin 3 is full, you will have used the good fertilizer in bin 1 and you can start filling it with new scraps again.

      What about tomato seeds? I have heard that tomato seeds can survive through the composting process and then will be the cause of tomato plants coming up anywhere you use composted soil in your garden. That means that there will be plants competing for nutrients and sun and water in all sorts of places you don't want them. Of course, if this is one of those untruths, sorry for bothering you with it. I am just a city person without any real gardening experience; but I read constantly and (sometimes unfortunately) remember all sorts of odd bits. The only tomato plants I have ever tried to grow didn't make it as they were eaten by the squirrels (real ones, not like your pretty little girl). At least, that is what I think ate them, but I certainly don't know for sure. I think I should stop talking now...

      @@vickied6087 if seeds are in the compost most likely you will have what they call volunteers. If the seeds don’t sprout 🌱 it could be caused by either old seeds that have died off or birds come and eat them. No worries I completely understand.😋

    Squirrel is enjoying the last warmth of summer. Progress is progress no matter how fast or slow life proceeds. Just take things in stride and focus on your long term goals.
    Are you going to make a root cellar? That would be the perfect place to store your potatoes, carrots, squash and onions after harvesting. Warm enough to keep them from freezing but cool enough to prevent spoilage.
