Our First INSPECTION!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- The very first inspection on our work for our self-built home is taking place! We need to get a few things buttoned up, make sure our pipe is right and then cross our fingers! There is a real sense of satisfaction and comfort in knowing we have multiple systems in place to make sure our off-grid home is prepared for just about anything.

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel wild wonderful off grid

I feel like Erin feeds Josh's confidence with her trust in Josh's ability to figure out how to get it done. It's amazing what a guy can achieve when he has a partner who believes in him. It's something that you young guys should require from any prospective partner. Otherwise, she'll hold you back from achieving your full potential, always chirping in your ear that you should hire someone who knows what they are doing. That will take the soul right out of you..
I second this statement. I’m fortunate to be married to a supportive wife as well. 17yrs and counting.
I love the way she looks at Josh you can tell she loves him a lot
There is true love there
So true they seem to have a amazing relationship. They seem to be friends first and just have a great bond it’s awesome !!!
@@brandonknight7240 And you need to learn how to spell
I always find myself smiling from ear to ear when I watch your videos and the wholesome interaction between you two, the kids and the animals. Congratulations for passing your big inspection!!
Precisely that! 👍🏻
You guys are like the perfect Disney movie. Spicy enough that adults get it and yet classy enough that kids don’t. Lol
Yup, watching NORMAL people is refreshing.
Best what I heard today, you made my day! Thanks
somebody just liked this, they eating like a hobo
I said this "perfect" word comment on their last video. It's already spreading around on their recent videos lol
WAY better than Disney.
Josh is a true Jack of all trades. I’m jealous of everything he does. You are what women should aspire to be. It seems as though there are very few left like you two.
They remind me of my two kids and their spouses!!
I actually very much look up to them.
@@Bielocke Perfect Couple like so SO perfect. It would be great if everyone look as pretty as the wife's cheeks that makes you laugh. It make things much easier, it makes everyone lucky.
@@MyFirstHandle what on earth are you rambling about? Yes you are mainstream. You're as mainstream as it gets. I'm sure.
We’re still around we just don’t brag about it 😂
Erin, your cinematography and editing is getting so good, congratulations on your beautiful work!
Congratulations on the inspection. I see Chuck even with his busy schedule showed up for this one.
Haha..was that a dig at Chuck? lol
8:08 " ...a real house, finally, 3 years later..." Personally I think you two have done a phenomenal amount of work to get where you are and 3 years is unimaginably good going. Consider that for most of that time Josh was working and Erin was running the farm when he was at work plus Erin literally had a baby on her back at the start of this journey and there were very few jobs you contracted out. 3 years is great going! You should be proud of how much you have done, the quality to which it has been done and you've been very involved with all of your children through it all. And then there are the untold hours hours have you spent recording and editing this to put it in front of the world! Don't ever question the time it has taken or second guess yourselves. Great work, progress and success on all fronts. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Your journey on this channel can summed in 5 words... Look what love can do!!!! I can see the love you guys have for each other and the belief in yourselves. A belief is the most powerful force in the universe!!! Don't stop believing and keep on loving each other you guys can do anything!!!
You both are such a breath of fresh air. I love this channel. Josh you don't give yourself enough credit for being pretty darn brillant at most things. You love the challenge and you don't just stay satisfied with the norm, you always make it the best you possibly can. Erin you are the best cheerleader and helper ever. The two of you are a dynamo of a couple. Singularly you are fantastic and the duo of you two is absolutely amazing. You are a team in everyway in everything you work on. God bless you and the family ......such sweet children......the example you give in all you do is what a Good Life is all about. Stay the way you are and enjoy each minute, good, bad or ugly, you two always make it OK. Outstanding couple......love the way you two banter and kid around. You are a magical couple.
Blessings to each of you........I had no doubt the inspection would pass......Josh you are amazing and Erin you are as well........together you are unstoppable. :-) Have a beautiful week!
You guys are really setting your selves up for a great self Relient future.Two Old People On A Couch approved.
Best wishes from France !
@@ColHogan-bu2xq OUI, OUI MEILLEURS SOUHAITS AUSSI DE MONTRÉAL QUÉBEC VIVA JOSH ET ERIN!
Смотрю на вас и сам становлюсь счастливее. Вы как два ярких солнца излучающих тепло и счастье. Спасибо вам!!
Keep up the energy you’re an inspiration to everyone😀
I love the very obvious devotion of Erin. She worships Josh, even when she gives him a hard time.
Congrats on passing your inspection! Great job! Josh made a comment about his "piss poor" welding. I've watched your channel from the beginning and you don't do anything less than your best. Very accomplished for one so young. Welding skills will get better with experience. Best regards to the whole fam damily.
Gotta luv his look after Erin told him to, "Prepare for success." Sounds like something that he would often advise. (dig dig) lol
Inspector Chuck passed it with no problems........ I never had a doubt 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Always a great Sunday when WWOG posts a video 🙏
Chuck is a pro and it was wise of you to bring him not one but two apprentice the support must mean a lot to him.
Go Team Chuck🦴
You know some people actually use "pipe" wrenches when they're putting together "pipes".
Awesome job. Love the videos!
and backup wrenches.
He gets it done with pliers
No leaks with channel locks...even plumbers need heros😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I won't argue a bit.
🤣🤣
CONGRATULATIONS ! Your inspection went great ....
You are both gifted , unreal what you have created 💫💚💫💚
I’m in the UK and was surprised that the tank wasn’t put onto a concrete slab or large pavers !.
Someone who lives not far from me has one of these big tanks and they put a Fence around but only the 3 ft panels and they put a trellis on top and put planters ( like window boxes )around the top edge of the Fence so when the flowers/climbers grow they grow onto the trellis but you can still see the fence panels.
I’m not a gardener so I’m not sure what the flowers are but from the way that they describe it sounds pretty cool.
Love the Family and well done Josh on passing the Gas inspection for the house....pretty amazing how well you can do everything that is needed.
Perfect Family and I think everyone should watch you and see how a family should be ❤️
Josh if i may; fasten it with some shear bolts and then weld. all the best
I’ve been watching you two for at least a year now and what I love about the two of you is how you do everything together and support one another. Plus you have a great sense of humor about everything,even when things aren’t going exactly according to plan. My sincerest compliments to you and your family.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love you guys and your great videos. They look more artistic and professional every time.
I'm still just Blown Away with how much you all have done in the past 3 years. I mean every video I watch amazes me. You could throw up a little bit of a privacy fence & stain it to match the building around the propane tank. Just me personally but I would build some kind of wood border stained to match the building as well around the gravel to hold it in place so it doesn't spread out all over the yard overtime.
Whole a lot of pride in those eyes..... “ that’s my man “. Congrats... on to the next job 👍
Way to rock those Channellocks Josh! Made right here in Meadville PA. USA made.
Yes! Congratulations on the sign off Erin and Josh. Yippee!! So impressed with your quality of work as usual. I’m sure you’re both already planning a wooden screen around the tank for ascetics. Sweet to see the kids and 3 pups - living a great life playing outside 💕
You two have got to be the hardest workers on the internet. Praying that you enjoy the fruits of your labors, together, in peace and perfect health, for a long, long, long, time to come.
Excellent job guys, congrats on passing the inspection. The kids are growing so fast. 😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
I love the beautiful chemistry between you guys!
Hey Josh, Skill Share! When you have non horizontal plane always up hand welding. From bottom to top, this keeps the slag from flowing into the weld. 7018 rod chip and grind after every weld and maybe a gusset behind the force? Practice makes perfect Josh. At least you're trying.
this is the answer to your problem Josh
For a stronger weld, for sure
I'm no welder, but I'm thinking that the tear outs could be reinforced with some slightly larger 1/4" thick plates welded over them. But, what do I know?
@@TheOleHermit, It might have to be done from behind, so they don't interfere with any attachments ?
@@augustreil Yeah, I wondered about that too. Couldn't see, but I think only the forks attach to what he's repairing. :-)
The video where you see Elle behind Erin talking to the camera and you have to rewind to see what animal Elle is playing with. What a awesome life that precious little gal is having.......it was the puppies. I saw
You’re bloody brilliant the pair of you! And you,play some awesome tunes 👌
I agree 😊
I think the last part of the video was the best "We can handle pretty much anything". The fact you've done it all yourself is proof of this. Great job Josh and Erin!
You are a wonderful family
A nice little structure with a peaked roof and slat walls for ventilation and the tank is no longer an eyesore, plus it's protected from the weather.
plz put a peace of foam insulation around the propane line where it goes through the gravel and concrete so the pipe will not stress break there, where it is a real pain to fix
You guys are definitely prepared for anything. Aback up for the backup for the backup. You should never have any problems with any storm or any weather conditions. Keeping your family safe and warm is everything. Love the way you all joke back and forth. R rated but not so the kids will understand. I salute you for all that you have done and for the beautiful family you have.
I hope one day I can recover from my concussion and build a home for my family like you did , it inspires me everyday. Keep going. Enjoy every moment life is too short
I don't know if you are aware, but there are certain food items that contain chemicals promoting brain regeneration: kurkuma, blackberries and Brussels sprouts.
@@wikingagresor thank you so much ill start adding that to my diet, I was told I have an issue with my c1 c2 and chiropractor is not helping. Any thoughts on what I can do
@@ToffiTube that looks serious, maybe some neurologist should look into it ?
@@wikingagresor I did they just give me pain medication. Chiropractor said there was something up with my c1 c2 so I'm trying to find a specialist to adjust my atlas
Josh and Erin all are the best . i love watching you guys working together. Don't stop keep going i am enjoying it. May God bless you and erin also the children.
I love you guys...!!! Cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷👋!!
I am working on living off grid in a small beach town in Mexico. I was from the USA. Been here fifteen years. I love the work you are putting in to getting what you want.
Really glad for you re inspection but considering how you work and the quality of your work , no surprise you passed 🎊🎉
Love you Guys and what your doing.
ROCK ON 👍
Almost had a heart stopper until you casually mentioned that all gas lines passed. BRAVO.
Watch you constantly from Laramie, Wyoming.
Amazing.
Congratulations on passing this hurdle. 👏 💘 to family and critters.
Small wooden fence that matches the powerhouse could help around that tank. Or you could camo the tank itself!
Just made the same comment about camo painting it !
That is what you call Bullet Proof! Well done guys! You are well prepared. That has to feel really good knowing that your family is going to be ok. You two are very motivated and hard workers.
Congratulations, that was huge.
Happy for you two kids !! Looking Great !! If the tank bothers you put a fence around it and add a coupled of Pigs inside for your Freezer !!
Sorry Inspector Chucky says No pentation in the Power House Until the Generator is up and Running !! PS I would fill that Tank ASAP as
Gas prices are going up and will probably keep going up for the next four years !! Love you Guys Thanks Great Video !!
They do sound like dogs barking Erin. I am so glad Chuck got the inspection job done. Good boy Chuck watch over Joshes work. Love you guys Later.🖤🖤😎🖤🖤
SO MUCH ALOHA AINA IN YOUR «HALE A-FRAME DREAM» BRAVO, MALAMA PONO E HO MAI E!!!
I have been going back and watching some of your old videos... so nostalgic. You guys have come a long way, good job!
I have gone back and watched from the beginning. I love watching building going up.
Me encanta su familia y me encanta cómo se llevan de bien se apoyan mucho en tu trabajo bendiciones para ustedes y para sus hijos me encantan sus videos
Happy Sunday mornin from Texas yall.
Happy Sunday morning from Seattle 💖
JOIE AU PRINTEMPS EQUINOXE POUR TOUTE LA TERRE DE MONTRÉAL AUSSI
Its cute to see the loving banter between you two, but it is way more endearing to see the sincere compliment and respect Erin gave to Josh in this segment. He is committed to you and has done really well for your family. He deserves the respect that look tells him everything @12:38 when he is second guessing himself.
😄😂 the double entendre dialogue is 👍
The fuck is a double entendre ?
I agree, love it. They have so much fun together.
@@suedorfman7138 🥰
It took me two days watch all your shows.it was great entertainment with kids and animals .still can believe two of you build house for your family .keep it going from Lreland
Well done!👏👏
You guys are the real deal, thanks for sharing!!
The best treat after a long working day
The way the pug puppy was looking at Erin was true love seeing Erin as her new mom. Great job. I believe to be tractor certified you have to have 100hrs behind the wheel and I dont mean sitting in it. With a tank that size you guys will have a backup supply for a heating system whenever you guys build a barn. You passed the inspection that means father daughter burgers for a treat now.
A grinder and paint makes you the welder you ain't! -Doug from SV Seeker.
Hahah in our shop we would call that polishing a turd!!!
When I started welding that was very true . grinding and paint covers a lot of mistakes .
The question then becomes. Are u a welder or grinder? lol
Hi Josh...when you are arc welding in the vertical position. It's better to weld upwards into clean metal....cleaner weld ..stronger weld👍👍🇮🇪😎
@@c44mt or worse
Well I'll say it - NONE of us watching were worried about this inspection !! Great job and now what's next ? Going to finish the foundation facing, decking, stairs or the back half of the house ?? Basement, garage and second floor bed rooms ! Love watching you 2 and the kids and of course the fur babies. Stay safe and healthy. God bless
That propane tank must cost a fortune to fill . Build a small fence around it and you will never know it’s there . Great job Josh !! Keep up the Awsome work you guys are doing .
Somewhere around $2500 on average, depending on location.
Since it's just back up, it should last for a very long time. Probably never need to refill it.
@@DK-jd8bj It would be insane not to get a gas stove since they have the option. Electric ranges suck.
Or paint the tank itself with a scene. There's a tank down in the southeast which is painted to resemble a large watermelon. It's cool looking. Or Erin could paint it to resemble a black pony, Josh is always acting like he's riding. 😂
goodday everyone.nice to see again guys.keep safe...
Inspector Chuck is loved by All. ☺ Awesome video
Wonderful way to look at you 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the love that shines through ❤️ thanks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Good going. I read that propane can be stored forever with no expiration date and no degradation over time. So, a perfect fuel backup.
Been following a long time you built it and it's right.... You guys did a great job + off grid ... That's the life . have a great week
1000 gallon tanks are the way to go for propane , get it filled in the off season and it will probably last all winter. Fuel is cheaper and less hassle to get the truck up there than in the winter. You will not regret that big tank
That tank is just backup to the solar for the generator so it'll last for a decade.
@@JCrook1028 unless they set up a forge or something 😄
@@Tamidewa Well yes, of course. If they actually use some they'll need to refill it. As it stands now tho it is just a backup to the solar and won't be used hardly at all.
Good job. You will love that 1000 pounder tank in time. You will have reserve that will last a year. Good call.
An outlet for a grill would be a nice addition for the tank ;) Endless barbeque parties...
Jste nejlepší rodina kterou znám. Od základu domu i rodiny máte oba výjimečný dar.Přátelství a lásku. Děkuji že jste......Váš pritel Milan s České republiky
Inspections can be stressful. Happy to see you passed with flying colors.
You ruined it. Now I know what happened. I should never read comments before watching the video lol.
Sweet back up for your back up can't beat that you all are awesome👍👍
Teach the kids how to make rolling dives - a few hundred times so their muscle memory kicks in. I mountain-bike at age-60 because I learned to roll in Judo classes as a kid. When I fall off a mountain bike, I roll out while making adjustments to avoid rocks on the way down. I can usually just roll easily to my feet again without a scratch. Always fall like a banana, tuck and roll out of a dive. :)
I'm 70. I did a flip on my knee scooter. I was able to roll out too.
I ended up in my butt. ( Very grateful for my martial arts classes ) When all were assured that I was fine I got a standing ovation. Ok, four people and no were to sit. I call such thing a win!
Judo is severely important for all “risky” sports imho - that rolling saved me god knows how many times from a world of hurt...
I took Judo classes 60 years ago when I was 14. I was the smallest in an adult class and everyone loved throwing me around. Since then.... I have been hit by a car on my bike, tripped and fallen countless times and thanks to Judo I roll and get right back up....
Great video! I grew up with a large propane tank with legs like that and ours sunk in the ground on one corner. We ended up putting one foot square stones under all four corners to spread out the load. Solve the issue for 30+ years. As far as the welding, the tearing is coming from the back side, so the only way to fix it is weld a plate on the back side.
We live in a RV park and our tank 120 gal tank sits right out front and was an eyesore. We painted it to look like its surroundings and it really made a difference. You really don’t even notice it’s there anymore. Just a thought
👍
Exactly what I was thinking. Paint tree trunks and a continuation of the pathway etc. I've always wanted to camouflage my house the same way 😬🤪😜😄 those I've told think I'm nuts.
@@TDiem-vh9zv It's more fun to be nuts.
wonder if there are fire protection regulations when installing such a tank in a forest?
@@lenny108 the only one I know of for a long tank is the end caps cannot face a building/residence at close range.
We painted our propane tank a dark charcoal gray. It just seems to blend in with the landscape now. That bright white is kind of a eyesore, I agree. You all are doing great. You have accomplished so much. Fun to watch.
It wouldn't be Sunday if WWOG didn't post. Josh you are an electrician, but you do better than you know at many things. You inspire us DIYers to at least try something out of our comfort zone. Erin is right you are better than you know. Take care of your inspector greeter, he is precious.
Amen to all of that.
Im a new member of your page and i must say that your both inspiring and we need more human beings like you on this planet. Your love for one another and family is beautiful to behold. As someone whom has been with my partner in life for 31 years now I also know what unconditional love is. Keep on liviing everyday to its fullest may God keep you and yours everyday and Thanks for sharing your life experiences with us. Take Care.
Never ceases to amaze me with all your talents!!! Talents you never knew you had, but you sure are willing to learn and come out with an amazing finale!! Always looking forward to seeing you both, the children and all the loved animals too... =8^)
How exciting! That's a huge milestone!
My electricians teacher always said "You can teach an electrician to do anything, but almost no one to be an electrician."Guess he was true.
❤
Kudo's to both of you for really doing things right. I just love watching you both. So fun to watch both of your channels.
What rod are you using? sounds like a 6011 or 6010, if so it is a fairly brittle weld, try some 7018 if you can run it on your machine, it is a much better rod for this application.
I agree, I think it was 6013 rod ? Check it at 3:52 ?
I love it that y'all have several different things to keep all things running regardless of circumstance. So smart. ❤
while some demonstrate in the street for a result as useless as their expectations ... others use their heads and their energies and build their future as a family💓. congratulations👏👏👏
Love you guys, your both so one with each other. You have a lovely family, stay safe all of you. X
I never got a license to operate a tractor. Though for reasons that go beyond my comprehension my Uncle trusted me to drive it between rows of his tobacco plants over 50+ years ago. I only ran over a few plants. We were suckering tobacco. My Uncle and Aunt found out that the chemicals used to treat the tobacco plants for insect protection I was allergic to. So the last few days I had to stay away from the plants so I was on tractor duty.
@hector mcgubligan -- Lol!
Ahh memories , grew up on a farm , drove my first little flat deck truck when I was 4 , actually stood on the seat to steer , Dad put it in crawl mode and walked alongside feeding out the hay for sheep . Dad died a year later , cancer due to chemicals , peace James .
@hector mcgubligan 😂😭😂
I am very happy for you. That was a major bench mark passed. Award yourself with your favorite burgers. Yes, it was great to see Chuckie doing his usual superb job of supervising. Stay safe, warm, and well.
Luv Erin's little digs like @ 8:00, "...finally, 3 years later." Then, Josh looks at the camera , exactly like Oliver Hardy used to.
Erin, "On a scale of 1 to 10, I give you a 14."
Josh, "It's definitely not a 14."
Erin, (OMG, what did I just say?) LMAO!
You are wonderful together. A sweet happy family. Good loves from FRANCE.
I appreciate Josh is the “King Of Channel Locks” but I suggest he uses pipe wrenches are they are designed to installing gas line pipe.
Family, relationship, and life goals! I love you guys! Keep going! You are amazing!!!!
I see arts and crafts on the tanks future for a home school project.
You got this folks AAA+++ so awesome
