    Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, cats, bees, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
    Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
    We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

    Watching Clay walk across the joists of the mudroom, then walk BACKWARD and then drop that plywood exactly where it needed to be was incredible. It was like watching a ballet dancer. He did fine, I held my breath!!!

    Just watching Clay walking over the joists as he places the sheets of plywood down - there sure is an element of danger in this work! He certainly wouldn’t want to misjudge his step. An art to walk while carrying a load as well!

    Boy do I feel for you falling asleep on your laptop. My final job I worked 12 hour days. In my mid 60s, that really tired me out. Many a night I would fall asleep in my recliner and would feel my husband taking my soup bowl away before,I spilled the last few,drops. Make hay while the sun shines!

  • @lesleyharris525
    @lesleyharris525 Місяць тому

    I know you have snow, so what pitch are you having on the roof? The basement is going to be great in the future. Are you going to have the laundry down there? I'm in England, and we normally have ours in the kitchen, and will Clay make a laundry shoot in, say, the bathroom? If so, I'm jealous, ❤

    Thanks,

  • @papajeff5486

    Whew, GREAT PROGRESS and before winter, way to go! I want to offer a little my personal perspective. Some folks think a long, car trip is an extraordinary test for a loving couple. Building a house, the ten thousand decisions, the cost of everything and the difficult endurance for you both…all add up to painful times. Please be sensitive to each other. Do extra things, special and sweet, for each other. When you can, go out of your way, to take the edge off building pain. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. May God be with you…from east Tennessee.
