@@lokomaikai2182 cool :)
with 70 arces that might be a starter home with all that land you have so many options to make a good living. I hope much success and happiness to your family.
@@victoriaelaine2068 Thank you :)
Do u have Instagram?
Thank your husband for his service and God bless your family on your journey. You made some wise choices.
Thanks so much and God Bless.
I second this!
We bought a water heater from Lehmans years ago when Amazon didn't carry them. We had to move from FL after hurricane Charlie into our 12 x 24 shed in NC. It had no electricity, or well or septic. My husband put in a small septic system and we brought up a boat toilet that only takes a pint of water to flush it. We gutted out a very old travel trailer and acquired a rusty propane fridge. It worked fine but was mustard yellow where there wasn't any rust. We had a camp stove that took the screw on bottles and on the back porch I had a dish washing station with one of those old orange coolers with the spigot that always dripped, a Rubbermaid pan and a dish drainer I got at the dollar store. When it got cold we brought it inside and installed it with the stainless steel sink that came out of the old travel trailer. We eventually managed to install gravity feed water from the creek and we were fine as we spent the next two years slowly making improvements. We have been here 17 years now and are snug as two old farts can be with all the comforts of home. We still have that old low flow, on demand hot water heater from Lehmans, though and I wouldn't trade it. Sue and Earl
That is awesome, thanks for sharing :)
Sue Summerall you have a story I’d like to hear
You all did awesome. God bless you and yours. Thanks to your husband and his family for his service. peace and love
Thanks :)
Don't ever be ashamed of what you have or don't have. You accomplished more in the short time frame than most in their life time.
My wife and I are working on building our retirement home in the next two to three years. I bought a wood lot four years ago which was naked with no possibility of hydro service. So like you we will be serviced with solar panels and we added wind mill for our electrical power supply. My son and I clear some wood and rented and excavator to burry the stumps and to spread foundation soil for our driveway. We also made room for a 40ft container for storage and a place for our 19.5ft camper trailer.
I got and old tv tower for free onto which i will instal the solar panels and the wind mill.
Last year we had the septic field and septic tank installed, this year will be the well.
Then if all goes according to plan, start the house build next year. As you it will be a 24x24 house on a 8ft foundation.
Thats awesome! Good luck with it!
So proud of you guys for living simply and loving one another!
I just found your channel and I have to say I am very impressed. If I were a younger man this is exactly what I would be doing. Support each other and love each other and enjoy being on your own land. From an old US Marine I thank your for service to your country and to freedom
Keep it going and Semper Fi!!!
Thanks to you also!
That is amazing how much you got done it 6 months! Congratulations! Your house will be beautiful and mean so much more because it is your sweat and time put into it.
Loosing a child is very hard and I am so sorry to hear that you have lost two while doing this job. Praying for you.
Thanks so much :)
I just came across your channel and I totally agree with your lifestyle choices, the good thing is that both of you are young and your daughter will grow up with an understanding of using only what is needed, and not being wasteful. I live in So California and I wish that when I was younger I would have done the same!!!! God bless you and your family and hope your husband will be able cope with his medical issues.
Thank you for your service to your whole family!!
Thanks so much :)
Lady, what you have managed to achieve in such a short time alone is remarkable and inspiring, to have everything else going on is truly an epic challenge. I am about to face the same situation as you and your husband except i am all by myself, i hope i can achieve the same sort of results you have
Thank you and all the best with your project!
Your husband is lucky to have a wife like you . I know because I have a wife just like her . count your blessings . great job to the both of you
God bless your family. Your choices are admirable, and thank your husband also for his service.
Thank you :)
I was very impressed with this video. You, ma'am, are a smart woman. Thank you for telling us the details, like the fridge power draw, and the battery amp-hours. So many videographers skip the details. Thanks and great project!
Thanks :)
Thank you for sharing your story.
Our economy has went from bad to worse (Alberta). I have been trying to convince my husband to buy land and live off grid for years now. Being mortgage free along with no utility bills is a huge game changer. I know it isn't always a bed of roses living off grid but a person can at least sleep at night knowing they are not going to lose their assets!
Keep up the great work!!
True enough, thanks :)
OMG, I'm a year behind with this family's home. Gotta sub and watch all of them. The lady of the house sure does a fine job with the video descriptions
Awesome job so far. I lived in NB when i was a kid my family moved there and we lived in a school bus with four children in an old logging camp. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Good job guys, is not easy to achieve all you bought and built in that area! Keep on, love each other and support each other and keep raising your precious daughter! Much blessings!
Thanks so much.
You folks really have done a great job so far on your new home. People don't realize how hard it is to build anything at all if they haven't built anything themselves before. Having two miscarriages and a small child to take care of while you are build your future.
I am excited to watch you grow at least for awhile. I'm going to get caught up and watch you until I can't watch someone else's dream come true. I am terminally ill and I don't have any bucket list dreams at 58 so I will watch your dream grow.
God Bless, and thanks for stopping by :)
WOW !!! You guys have done AMAZING !! I haven't been watching for a long time now because we're in the middle of our own reno . The last time I watched I think you were still working on the very beginning , just framing the floor . You guys have done soooo much in such a short time and that you're doing it almost all on your own , it's just awesome . Great job guys ! I love it !! xo
Thanks, how is your reno coming?
It's slow right now being winter in Northern Ontario . but we're still going at it . we paid to get our roof done too , we went with the tin as well ( grey ) before that we had to do footings and had some framing for the floor and walls done but we also helped a lot with that . All paid workers are gone now and we're in the middle of wiring and insulation . paul is doing shit he shouldn't but he just can't leave it alone and so far he's fallen off a ladder and hurt his ribs ( he screamed for help so loud that not only did our neighbours come running but our son Borden ( 21 ) who had been sleeping , ran outside bare ass naked so worried about his dad . lol ) and then Paul punched himself in the face with the end of the compressor . it flew off and hit him square in the eye so we headed back to the hospital . It's been crazy here , like living in a friggin sitcom , lol . but we're getting it done . I haven't seen if you guys have had any problems but i'll try catching up on the videos and I sure hope you guys are all doing well . xo@@MBFModernHomesteading
Oh wow, lol.
Your kid is adorable. Nice home. I can see beyond the 'non essential' configuration you have. Neat!
Thank you for your video. It is getting to be more and more important to be able to live off grid. I am also doing a house but I moved an older house in and although I am set up more conventional, the only grid I am hooked to is the power grid. I am planning on building a cabin that is 100% off grid. The thing that grabbed my attention the most in the whole video is your fridge. I found Unique's website. Would definitely get one of those refrigerators When I build it. I am hoping to get a quarter section at some point to put it on.
Awesome, good luck with your off grid place. And the fridge is great, we absolutely love it.
You guys have worked so hard and accomplished so much! I am blown away by how much you have accomplished in a few short months of building. You have such a Cozy home!
Thanks Cherry :)
Enjoyed the recap even though I’ve been along for the ride.
Take it as easy as possible with all that snow for now.
Spring the work starts again. The house is going to be the perfect size when the deck becomes the living room!
Can’t wait to watch it happen.
Thanks for being here with us :)
I have followed you guys since your beginning videos and you both have came along way. Awesome job you two have done in a short amount of time. I’m so excited to see your end results!! You guys will be so proud when you are done with an amazing home... keep the video coming! Hope you all have a blessed day!
Thanks for being here with us along the way, have a great day yourself!
Your husband is very blessed, you are an amazing woman, being patient while he builds it out 👍
Thanks so much :)
I am very impressed. You and your little family have accomplished a great feat.
You all have done a bang up job building your home. It is really a lovely place. Enjoy your winter...getting a bit of R & R before it's time to start again. I have really enjoyed watching your progress. I am glad you decided on an artificial tree for this year it is much safer too. Have a Blessed day.
Thanks and have a blessed day yourself.
U young lady have a fantastic altitude u will do great in this life of off grid keep your attitude up and u will enjoy your life many people don't understand why off grinders live like we do don't worry about them and have fun i been doing it for 20 years and love it and good video u know everything going on good job

Thanks Rick!
Its so great to follow your dreams.
I love to see how it is going everytime a little better.
You both do a great job.
We immigrate 26years ago to Canada from the Netherland. That was our dream for 20years.
God bless your family.🎄🎅
Thanks so much and God Bless :)
love y'alls place I love living out like that off the grid I thank your husband for his service y'all take care and y'all enjoy living off y'all's land for the land will take care of y'all if y'all let it
6 months you 2 are true Canadian Magicians.That is amazing You have built so much, now will you take a brake.You have all the time in the world to finish the inside that is left to finish. CONGRATULATIONS it looks beautiful P.S. I love the jokes,your daughter is so much like her mother. 😀😅🤗🤗
Thanks so much :)
You guys have done very well for such a sort amount of time, thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks Jay :)
Very impressive amount of work in so short a period of time! Especially dealing with health issues too.
Very nice home! We have no regrets raising our family in the woods. May the Lord Bless you in Jesus name.
Amen, thanks :)
This is one of those, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus", moments. A true dream come true. Very much what I pictured. You all are truly blessed and awesome. And thanks to my brother in arms and your family for their service. God and Odin bless you all.
Thanks for your service also!
Thank you for sharing this video with us! You guys did a great job! I know you and your family will build many happy memories in the years to come. And many more well thought out improvements and conveniences. Respect the land and it will provide you with all you need. I wish you and your family a life time of love and happiness!
Thanks so much :)
Very nice! For the fire wood you should leave the side open to let the humidity out. Only the top should be cover, that way your wood will dry a lot faster. Beside that great job!
You guys did an amazing job and are a wise family for doing this! God Bless!
Thanks and God Bless :)
Incredible! I'm so happy for you that your done so much in such short time. It will be great when it's finished. Hope to see that video next year. Sending good thoughts and prayers for all you're family to heal all illness and be just fine and grateful for all you're accomplished.
Thanks :)
Hi from Vancouver island:)..Just stumbled on this video by accident and it's the best one I've seen in a long time :) I just finished building a little barn using that green roofing from Home Depot! Best roof ever! Love the rest of the house and that was fantastic how you did the tour! Look forward to more and seeing how you expand the house! Thanks for sharing your lives with us. Btw do you plan to homeschool your daughter?
Thanks, and yes, we plan on homeschooling our daughter :)
Good video. Thank you for sharing your home.
You have built a very nice home. You are very blessed.
Thank you so much!
Your lovely child looks like a future you tube blogger in training. Great work with the house so far.
Thanks :)
You have done an amazing job in a very short time!!!!!! Great over view of your property & building process.
Thank you Nancy :)
Good job glad to see someone thinking outside the box
Very cool! Love what you have done. Enjoy!
Awesome job on your place. Little girl is precious! I am also a Off Grid Vet. Living large. Peace
Right on, thanks for your service :)
Geothermal greenhouse would be an awesome addition and could help heat your home as well as providing year around growing space.
Hello from New Hampshire! Your place is wonderful! I had bought a farmstead back in 1974 on Anagance Ridge, NB. which is 18 miles from Sussex. The original house had burned down, leaving a well & septic and large three story hay barn. The Climos ( Chip & Lyndi) had fashioned a small cabin off the back barn shed. There was 5 beautiful acres of useful ridge top land.
Hubert & Bernice Champagne lived directly across the road. They were our only neigbors, growing hydroponic tomatoes. It was just beautful! We wanted to farm, but being Americans, the government had just closed the border and would not allow us to live without giving up our American Citizenship, unless we used it as a vacation home or kept applying for one year working visas.Sadly we sold the place. You both are going to love it! Now we farm on 350 acres in New Hampshire and life is good, but still have fond memories of New Brunswick!
Oh, thanks so much for sharing :)
Wow ! This is my ideal dimension house ! Nicely done !
Thanks
🛠️🏗️🏡 good day to you Jeremy, Ashley & Sam !! thanks for the update and adventures on & off the homestead whilst building your dream house 🏡🏗️🛠️
Excellent video today Ashley, fantastic round up and tour of the property !! 🏡🎥👌🛐
Thanks!
Thanks, that was fun to see all you have gotten done! Thank for sharing!
Fantastic! Going with a modest size home is so smart!!
Really awsum thats how you do it, now all your resources can be for a quality living!
Great job so far, I have many amenities but I do know living simply is much more rewarding and satisfying. Lived in a 1 room garage space before working on the home, no running water, no septic, heated with wood with a Pacific Energy wood stove. Many days now living in my house, I miss the garage and what it offered. i could go back.
Good for you! Nations are built by people like you and your family. You have inspired many. Looking forward to the next video. Keep on keeping on!
Thanks for the kind words.
Very nice, it's going to look great when you guys get it finished 👍
Thanks :)
Great videoing Ashley, what a amazing home and property, you guys are so blessed to have a home out in the country like that!! Something I would love to have!! Congratulations, hope that Jermey is getting better!!
Thanks :)
Love your cabin. You did a great job with it. Girl, if you want to get pregnant you have to rest. I know, I've had 4 of them. They always happened when I was doing too much. I know you had to work hard before to get your house done but please rest up if you're trying again. It's so awful I just gave up trying for more cause of the emotional pain. I hope that doesn't happen to you. So please take it easy. 😊
Thanks :)
Thank you for your service. My wife is a forces brat as her father served in the RCAF.
You deserve everything you wish for and hope this new lifestyle makes you happy.
There’s no life like it, right?
That’s right, thank you :)
Consider putting an elevated 55 gallon barrel in the bathroom to fill and use to flush the toilet. It's a lot easier than all those buckets you use to pump out of, and being elevated you let gravity flush for you. I ended up with a electric pump to fill my barrel, and let gravity do the flushing with a shut off valve.
Thanks for the tour of your home, I gleaned some useful ideas. Cheers from MB.
You have done a lot since you started which wasn't that long ago!!! Well done folks, you should be proud and I think you are!!!
Thanks :)
You did an amazing job. This is how real folks did it back in the day but with an upgrade. i
You guys have done an AMAZING job! I'm totally impressed. 💚
Hey, thanks :)
Great recap on what you did and it's really impressive ! If you ever see a wrecked Chevy bolt(electric car) or any electric car, try to work a deal to get the battery. I hear they are awesome for off grid power storage ? I said this before but, a small maple syrup pan with the corner drain and line for the stove, that way you have warm water all the time from the snow that just drains into your buckets. You guys are doing awesome and looking forward to the next video !!!!!
you have done an amazing job in the very short time you have been working on it-- you are living the dream that most of us missed the mark on and i am so thankful you are sharing your journey with me- cant wait to see all the new things happening come spring ill be right here waiting for each video- Merry Christmas and may your blessings be abundant...Glo
Thanks so much for being here with us, Merry Christmas :)
You have gratitude,, and life will bless you often! Love your home.
So cool I’ve been watching for a while and just realizing this is in newbrunswick I’m from Wirral nb
Finally another Canadian wanting to live off grid I'm from nova Scotia nice house I'm building just a little smaller than yours
Awesome :)
Another NB couple here. Sold house and moving to 600sq' off grid cabin. House closes mid June.
I just found your channel. Very nice home. I have lived the way your living but it was like 40 yrs ago. So All we had was a wood stove to cook on and heat our waster, thinking back it was hard but I would rather live that way. your little girl is just precious.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Very nice home! Your family is blessed in so many ways.
Thank you :)
Don't worry about the haters. There's one in every crowd. I think it is a great size house and what you have been able to do while dealing with the miscarriages is amazing. You certainly have the right attitude and stamina to go the distance. I look forward to your future video's. God bless you all.
Thanks so much, God Bless :)
Wouldnt it be a lot easier to add a 12volt RV water pump up to the plumbing pipes pf your house so that you would not have to have a separate water containers at your sinks, shower & toilet. RV water pumps are cheap (less than $100). All you need is a larger water tank, maybe a 50/80 gal drum to hook up your water pump to
always, always, ALWAYS put a push button on ANY small water pump! IDIOTS will come in and take a shower and BLAME YOU for not telling them you dont have enough water for them to use. ITS YOUR FAULT!!! ALWAYS! then NO drinking water, either. go back ten miles and get some more!! easy, no? I had an expensive camper, idiot brother-in-law came in while the rest of us were fishing. made a mess out of the camper, too. always LOCK the door. turn the power off.
May I suggest attaching a greenhouse to the side of the house, you can use it to heat your house as well.
A sun room would be better
@@davesilvia9711 Not really, a sun room is just a room with more windows for more heat to get into. A green house is multi purpose and can capture more light at the same time. A sun room is a bit of a luxury for them, they would benefit more from a greenhouse. You can also use greenhouses as a bathroom.
@@PaganShagger gotta watch it with a greenhouse attached to the house thats not in a arid environment. The humidity can cause problems in the house, if it isn't done right.
Uh , I have never seen a greenhouse attached to the house , it is always separate .
@@at347est they are called a conservatory, which were very popular in the Victorian era, attached to houses. They still are popular to some degree. Earth ship houses benefit a lot to green houses built like hallways, very interesting.
Thank you very much for explaining everything. I'm planning for something like this in 2020 up here in Oregon. Blessings to you and your family. Keep it real, some people will not ever be happy with the way you talk, upload videos, content, etc.. please dont listen to those unpleasing people. I will subscribe and order a coffee mug.
Thanks for stopping by, glad to have you here :)
Awesome video. Really nice progress you guys. Have an amazing Sunday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
You too!
Mom, let the kid talk!!! lol Wait till the heavy house work is done before trying to expand the family. Sorry for your loss, but God has a bigger plan awaiting you two!!! The house is awesome, but I'm glad your taking some time off. Thank your husband for his service, and let him know he's a lucky man..... your a beautiful wife. God Bless, w.w.
Thanks so much, and here is a vid from the same day we put together with Sam lol ua-cam.com/video/aMIg_FSfbW0/v-deo.html

You have accomplished so much. Sending you and your family blessings. I too have built a small off grid cabin (in Texas) and am very interested in your shower. I have an outdoor shower like yours but the Panhandle of TX gets snow so I need my indoor shower. My toilet is like yours too.
All the best to you Mary!
Amazing recap of things so far. I've been following since before you moved out east but it's nice to hear everything that you guys have done again. :)
Glad that you have been with us all along :)
Nice video. Great job on the cabin! Looks like some beautiful land you're on.
Thanks :)
Good job and good for you two .
Hard working fellow Canadians.
Thanks :)
Nice video , Hubby and I got a good laugh from your daughter photo bombing , super cute !
We started small like you guys and we have been growing and perfecting our off grid system for 15 years. Looks like we have a lot in common. Keep up the good work! Y&B
