Dear Veteran, Thank you for your service to our country. Your bravery and sacrifice are deeply appreciated. We are forever grateful for your commitment to protecting our freedoms. I love your your UA-cam channel, and this series of videos too.
Love the updates on the house. HEY, if the roof doesn't leak, then YOU ARE a qualified roofer!!! Same goes with the whole build, YOU and Stacy started where everyone else does, You don't know how to do something until you learn how to do it. I lived in the house I built for 3 years without a well, I dammed up a little 3 foot wide creek to get water for all my mortar and water needs (build a small stone house). I would utilize the creek now, if you can, and make water collection systems for all the roofs (free water). Have an awesomeness day Chris, and Stacy. 🙂
Great update on your homestead. Where you're at the top of a hill drilling a well is probably going to be overly expensive, depending on how far down the water table is. Friend I know who is also living off grid always made sure to have an estimated month's worth of water before he got his well drilled, and after made sure his storage tank was at least that capacity. It's a tough job but it looks like you're coming right along and the area looks beautiful. I hope one day that my situation is such that I can also escape the city like you have. Cheers
Hey Bud. Wood / log burner fan. Gotta have one. I’m sure you’re familiar with them. May have slipped your mind so I thought I’d remind you. Lots on Amazon. That’ll up the heat circulation and efficiency of your burner. It still amazes me how it’s such a simple contraption but a a huge multiplier. For those who aren’t aware. It’s just a simple small metal fan mounted on a heatsink with bearings. No power necessary. Just sits on top of the burner and the heat spins the prop and it pushes the warm air into circulation. Highly recommended. Not trying to teach anyone to suck eggs. Just trying to help.
My sister has a house of 85 square meters (brick walls), before they were connected to a common gas pipe, they also heated the house with a gas cylinder (with a capacity of 50 liters, a filling volume of 42 liters is 9.24 gallons) they had enough for exactly 24 hours, taking into account cooking several times.
Cool man. I'm a forced to do things on a budget tighter than castrating ring. I'm slowly going "off grid", but the way people like you think, helps me adapt and get to my goal sooner.
Tempered glass is no joke! I seen i guy loose the meat off his arms because he didn't wanna wear his Kevlar sleevs..too hot... 10ft tall by 5ft wide in a stairwell..he was on the bottom..the top corner just bumped the cement at it exploded...raining down on his bear arms. One of nastiest things i seen on a job site...other then a man having his legs literally crushed off between two cement counter weight for a tower crane. Im happy to be in a factory now!
I think its nuts that you can't drill a well, I think that will get old quick. However, we're still using a sawdust toilet and it's been 7 years or more in our place. Works great, so I guess if you're willing to put up with something it's worth it.
Nice to hear from you and the progress! 3:55 I would get a water pump that is more than 12 Volts. Guessing you are running 120v, i am used to 240. It will do the work in 1/10 of the time but use the same amount or less energy. The flow will be alot greater, so make sure to hold on to the hose! 4:53 I have never used gas for anything except my grill, so do not have anything to say about that! 6:40, moisture might be tripping them? The humidity. They are built to trip faster than normal power outlets, to protect the batteries. You are not the only one that speaks good about EcoFlow! I think you should reach out to EcoFlow and ask for a Sponsor. Get a technician to look at your setup, talk about it some more and get it perfect! I am looking to get a similar setup myself so that is why i am suggesting it. 12:36 I DID THE SAME TO MY SHOWER DOOR! DAMMIT, installing them is a tricky thing... The work you have done is amazing! You really got a Home there! Looking forward to more videos! Love
Very very nice work. Yep shower doors are very strong but the edges if even a tiny knock whole thing goes. Best idea is to use low tak thick as possible masking tape on the edges. It's not a fail safe, but it saves having to be a ninja
Regarding water: you don't have a well (borehole) for what reason? Is the well prohibited by law or is the water too deep underground? I am from the south of the country (Krasnodar Territory), and we have water wells drilled 20-30 meters deep - this is industrial water, and over 50 meters deep is clean drinking water (it all depends on the terrain and pollution). In some places we have problems with water, it is too deep, and in some places it is too close to the surface (a large amount of groundwater)
So did you add additional batteries to your ecoflo kit or do you actually have 4 separate ecoflo generators? We have one generator and want to get a couple extra batteries.
Awesome looking house with a view. Hopefully 1 day echoflow will sponsor ya and you can get the upgrades. Sucks about shower door but you lived learned and moved on. I bet you can get a bottle of porcelain touch up paint and it will 90% hide that ding on the sink. If you have access to water that is slightly higher then you are watch Lumina Acres and see what he did for secondary water. You might make it so you only have to get water half as much. Keep on keeping on.
@@GoingBallistic watch his video about burning a tank in the ground and letting a stream fill it and then he ran hoses across his land to the old school yard frost free those are but I bet if you use it for things like toilet and animals and yard stuff it would help some what
I'm sorry, and one more comment from me about the laminate floor: I hope you made technical indents from the walls? Laminate has the property of "Walking" - expanding and contracting, depending on the temperature.
Great to see how're doing. How many kWh is your battery system? How many solar panels have you got in total? Do they generate enough electricity during winter time? I've got solar panels, during the summer do provide at least 3 or 4 times more than I use but during the winter they generate less electricity than I use.
And one more comment from me. I'm sorry, I'm just sharing my life experience, and I want people not to make my mistakes: shower stall doors should be made of matte plastic (glass is not safe, especially if there are children and the elderly), as well as interior doors, should not have glass (sooner or later they will break and this it will be traumatic). (I write from different accounts to promote the video😆I help as much as I can😁 )..
Have you thought about storing water differently? Does water tower not suitable? In my non-professional opinion the water is the most vulnerable equipment in that autonomous fort. M.b. recuperating system will be nice decision. Filtering waste water and reuse it
@@GoingBallistic wow! You obviously construct a house of my dreams) nice to see that great work. I'd like to hear more about hidden pitfalls if they exist. I'm sure you'll do great!
Back the blue when they come after your off grid supplies? Theres already laws in place for that to happen. Thin blue line flags to show support for cops when they steal your stuff?
I think everyone else who is starving would try and come before the cops do. Also if it’s that bad I don’t think the cops will be working. Also there will be lots of led flying around here 😬

Отличный дом в красивом месте 👍 Вы молодец ✊
Thank you
The homestead looks great. Beautiful job on everything. Love the tracking solar panels. 🤝🤝🇺🇸

The place looks awesome. Lots of work. Beautiful country.
Glad to hear the Delta Pro’s are so good, I have a set I’ll be installing at the house in rural SW Louisiana when I get there.
Thank you for your service, my friend. You're doing a great job. I don't think you can get any more off grid than that.
Wow, lots of work done. Looks great!
I just got an echo flow set up for my container home. Can’t wait to get it all set up and running
Thank you friend for showing your solar trackers
I'm subscribed and I haven't gotten a notification for MONTHES

That is just beautiful what a cabin the lord is smiling upon you for sure brother
Thank you!
Roofing the 45 pitch two story places is what my nightmares are filled with.
Really appreciate the hats off.
Very cool, keep those Videos coming :-)

Wow
оу, похоже, что я пропустил видео первое про солнечную энергию. пойду найду его и посмотрю
Nice. Looks like you are all set! Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thanks for watching!

Some day, we just dont have the $$
Oh, I thought you mentioned you couldn't where your at. Couldn't get a permit or something.

We are running the units in the 240 mode (well 120 per leg)
Very very nice work.
Yep shower doors are very strong but the edges if even a tiny knock whole thing goes.
Best idea is to use low tak thick as possible masking tape on the edges. It's not a fail safe, but it saves having to be a ninja
Happy wife, happy life. Living the dream 👍🏻
Also yes very good woodworking. It's a skill worth having.
Awesome vid. Great job
Glad you enjoyed it

Yes very deep and expensive
@@GoingBallistic ohh yea.. very expensive!
Get some air shocks or spring overs and some 10 ply tires for the pu to haul the water
So did you add additional batteries to your ecoflo kit or do you actually have 4 separate ecoflo generators? We have one generator and want to get a couple extra batteries.
2 are extra battries, they just look like the power heads/battery
Awesome looking house with a view. Hopefully 1 day echoflow will sponsor ya and you can get the upgrades.

14kw
Yes they work good in the winter as well.

Man I better not let my lovely lady see this video. I wish I had the energy to do all that remodeling myself!
nice place

Yeah we have, I just haven’t set anything up yet.
I need to get new gutters installed
@@GoingBallistic wow! You obviously construct a house of my dreams) nice to see that great work. I'd like to hear more about hidden pitfalls if they exist. I'm sure you'll do great!
Sure there was snow last update.
👍🏻
nice =)
Thank you! Cheers!
Off-grid bros o7
If only you could drill a well.
Real numbers would be helpfull.
Back the blue when they come after your off grid supplies? Theres already laws in place for that to happen. Thin blue line flags to show support for cops when they steal your stuff?
That makes no sense
@@adrianmbanks people will support police even if cops follow orders to put them inside box cars. Statism is a mental disease.
Huh? I've never asked someone for their source, but I've never heard of LE confiscating someones solar setup.
I think everyone else who is starving would try and come before the cops do.
Also if it’s that bad I don’t think the cops will be working.
Also there will be lots of led flying around here 😬
Get ready for US National Day.
