That girl dog is so happy 😊 and the beautiful sky was incredible
It is amazing the amount of progress that you and Jess are making , for keeping on a schedule to finish various projects helping each motivation , You Both are amazing ,thankyou for videos
I don't know about anyone else but I wish their videos were at least 10 minutes longer 💜
Yes I do feel the same 🙏
Me too
I just like watching them I think they're great that is a lot of work and making the videos
We'll try and do our best.😁
@@ourselfreliantlifeyes please!
I Hit $32,590 todayThank you for all the
Knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last week. i started with 5k in last
week 2025... now i just hit $32,590
Same here
Waking up every 14th of each month to 57,000 dollars it's a blessing to I and my family...I can now retire knowing that I have a steady income ❤️
Big gratitude to Evelyn Vera
OMG 😱😱😱😱😱😱
How did you manage to achieve that level of growth? I've been trying everything I can to improve my investments,I want to retire in a few years and I need a better diversification
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states🇺🇸🇺🇸 ….Glory to God, shalom.
Timing is crucial,and as Ms Evelyn Vera suggests,it's often wise to make purchases during market downtowns, prioritize acquiring solid assets,and explore options that allow you to generate massive income while you invest
@12:37 That is a smart doggo. When you said ,"feed the birds", that dog went straight for the feeders.
I love your greenhouse being part of your home. Very creative. I also really like Jess doing the voice over explaining what’s happening. Jess you do a really good job of that. Great work you guys. Well done.
Jess is beautiful. If she was single...lol. She has a calming demeanor and voice.
I love seeing how this project keeps coming together.
When you have your green house you wont have such cold dry winters. Your skin is going to love it.
You two are doing a great job. I watch you channel on Sundays to catch up on all your progress. I’m excited to see how the greenhouse works out!
You have such a considerate dog. She's also cares about the environment. Instead of demanding expensive new toys, she plays with reused containers that normally just get tossed in the trash.
This gives me inspiration for turning my partially roofed patio into a greenhouse. Thanks.
Jess, I really love this style of video with you doing the voice over/narration. You always have great insight and information to share, and this way of narrating is a great way for you share more. I’m learning that I also likely have ADHD and/or autism, and I know I would feel more comfortable speaking this way. ❤
It's amazing how a dog doesn't care is he/she lives in a mansion or a shed. Still loveable from the start. Live that way. I've been doing it for over almost 2 decades, no one has adopted me since. Just maybe one day.😁
Progress, progress, progress. Everything is coming along. With favorable conditions you can really make headway. Stay strong and carry on Domesteaders.❤❤❤
In Alaska in the Bush all outer doors open out because of bears.
Opening out where you are is also safety. Hard to push doors open by human apex predators.
You're doing great!!!❤❤
AWESOME,,,,,,!!!!! Jess and Jim,,,, !!!! great job,,, offgrid living builds differ from each other from location to location,,, nice to see the different ways and can incorporate some ideas into ours,,,, challenges in most cases have the best outcomes,,, thank you Both... peace 🕊
This is alternative ways to build at its best. Kind of like an earthship. I love the greenhouse which helps regulate temperature. So cool,!!
A quick cheap way to address your potential hinge issue is to replace one hinge (center hinge is best) with a NRP (NON REMOVABLE PIN) security hinge. Typically it uses a Allen screw, only accessible when the hinge is open, that when tightened prevents the removal of the hinge pin. Just a FYI, I understand that security on those doors isn't really an issue, but if you change your mind or for viewers that didn't know. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
lol yeah hinges aren't really a concern when your house is made out of straw with gaps you can see day light around the door. Just reach through and open the door from the inside. ^^
Thank you I did not know about this NRP.
Hi Jessica, Just a note about giving birds water, sometimes they're afraid of drowning so you might want to stick a rock in that watering basin right in the middle, you can add a few bits of gravel all around too. But one good medium sized Rock will help the birds, about fist size. 🌹💗 I love birds too, especially Anna's hummingbird, warblers finches and Phoebe's. My husband likes the Eastern Robbins, and woodpeckers. ❤
My winter garden didn't survive the recent freeze. A greenhouse is a good idea for a gardening in the winter. Since I'm now in a hot spell, I planted more winter seeds.
We live in Florida n this week we are back to 80 degrees. The month of Jan is always cold n rainy.
I was hoping you'd see my comment about the plastic gloves under cloth gloves. It's really surprising how much warmer it keeps your hands.
You're both doing a great job. Oh, and thanks for letting us know about the doors (hinges on the outside) - glad you're already aware and it won't be a risk. Take care and hope you finally get some warm weather soon!
I saw once… There is hardware that can be applied to the pin/hinges which locks them.
Part of me is sad to state this, but I think you've have had an internal compass, from waay back, directing you, as a couple, to where you're at now. You're living what some very well off people WISH they undertook. I'm not well off, but have since 2006 sought to achieve a self-sustaining living system - and didn't. The world IS going through a magnanimous change that WILL challenge everyone. KNOW you're well situated to sustain your good God blessed life; and as Jim says @0:27 "- - but that's okay, we're pushing on through."
Keep pushing. w/🙏&❤ - a vicarious Tom
Thanks for being so sweet to advice.. i feel the same way. I appreciate and in no way offended by opinions ( unlike another channel I know) . Course there are some people who give opinions get all upset if we don't do it. ..lol.
Here's an opinion of mine... I LOVE YOUR DOME. And when I want to share a video of yours with my friends I wish there was a beautiful shot of your dome in the beginning. .. just sayin 😊❤
You guys are both so amazing with your patience with eachother and the projects and all. I know not all is put on camera, but I love what you are doing and how you're doing it. God bless you and yours. One of my favorite youtubers for sure!!! Cause I want to do this.
Thank you for sharing! I really enjoy Jess providing commentary in the background.
The house is going up beautifully.
You're hardier than I am working out in the cold, I can't accomplish much more than taking out some trash and sweeping the porches on cold days anymore. I'm glad you can fire up the rocket mass heater to warm your bones. Spring can't get here soon enough for my taste lol. I'm glad your flock is healthy I'd recommend wiping your feet really well outside their coop when you're heading inside to feed them so you don't track any possibly contaminated wild bird poop in. We're seeing a lot of dead seagulls, herons, hawks and sadly at least 2 snowy owls on our states beaches in the last few weeks. Better safe than sorry. ❤
What state.
@@RVBadlands2015 I live in Rhode Island
Enjoy watching you guys building.
Excited seeing how much progress you’ve made.
Your dome reminds me of the Flintstone house, lol.
I'm out here in Nevada. This wind is something else. I give up until it stops. Love you guys. You give me a reason to come inside.
Keep it up you two!!!!! Great job and congratulations on your progress!
over here on the coast we get birds passing threw every spring. all colors.
As always look forward to your videos!!!
Excited for greenhouse and learning of the foods you plant.
Place is tak8ng shape. Good job you two. 😊😊😊😊
Making progres amigos!!!
Everything is looking great.
Sure love all the sky shots, I ❤cloud formations
Excellent editing and narration. Love your plan. Thanks for sharing.
❤🎉 Sundays! Once you get that green house a lil further along, seed starting time!! Its so nice to walk into the yard and graze or harvest❤
Another great update.
I love that you are building your dreams. ❤❤❤ live in light and love always.😊
I’m enjoying seeing the progress on the new project. Well done guys. You’re an inspiration. 😊
Everything is coming along very good,I like the progress...keep up the good work!
You mentioned getting rain and wanting to protect the straw... on ours we found misting the straw a bit helps hold the coating. Also our house sat naked during two hurricanes (in Florida) and the rain intrusion was only about half a finger deep and dried quickly. Our bales where stacked flat instead of on sides which makes a big difference in the striation of the straw and that helped.
I think you guys are doing such a great job keep up the good work stay healthy and God love you
Good job 👍
Enjoying watching the progress. I have not fully understood the plan and that’s ok.
One of the things I enjoy about this channel (been watching for about a year and a half almost two ) is that it gives me a better perspective on the time and energy it takes for two people (with help at times) to work a project of this size and mass.
I suspect some of what drives the speed of this is the funds and or sponsored or donated materials and tools too.
Your approach to problem solving and planning next steps feels like it is similar to what my own is in a very different geographic climate and area.
Maybe that assessment is a little accurate and maybe it’s just the accumulated empathy of watching for a couple years. :)
Regardless, thanks for the examples, the motivation and the persistence to continue the marathon.
Kudos as well for the work in the cold which can amplify all challenges including motivation.
Can’t wait to see the greenhouse unfold and someday get a cooler and warmer interior when needed push things forward too!
Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thanks for the explanation on the doors.
I'm so amazes at what you all are doing,,wish I could lone you all ah hand and learn some of this stuff first hand..
Very good info on your greenhouse. I'm excited to watch each step❤
I sure like watching you guys. I always learn something. I too, would vote for longer videos.
We're also experiencing a weather rollercoaster here in Houston Texas. We've done from a fairly rare freeze, with snow to possible 85°F next week.
Gosh, I just love your intros! ❤
Great voice and deliverance of the message.
Maybe you could replace Sir David Attenborough... 😊👍
If I ever had a greenhouse I would collect the rain water inside in a IBC or poly tank. Less plumbing and a heat bank.
You can raise black soldier flies in your compost pile which will speed up the process and feed your chickens at the same time
I tried growing mealworms. The large temperature swings out here are a problem. The mealworms will die in the cold winter mornings, and they'll also die in the hot summer afternoons. I recommend keeping them in your earth bag dome where the temperature fluctuates less. They also will appreciate the slightly higher humidity.
Love watching u guys Thanks for sharing your life with us. Many blessings from North Texas.❤
Nice progress, keep up the good work. We'll send the warm weather back eventually, love from the Southern hemisphere 😂
Need to get a roof over those bales ASAP, Ideally you should have built the roof first.
Yes everybody shld be growing holmes everywhere you live. In 1. 12' x 14 room you can grow enough food for a small family. Many Veggie, Herbs, Fruits yes and Fungi can be grown indoors. I wld like to see all holmes built or retrofitted to grow for your Families Health and Nutrition. Wecare hoping to get people interested in Growing Indoors in a well ventilated room set up to grow Your Family Foods of any and Every kind. So Please all people whom are watching dont let winter slow you down plants can be grown well with even minimal lights and hopefully a good wood chip compost soil. Many easy fixes for problems. There really are no problems that cant be adrressed indoors. Bugs to a minimum. You can have total control over your Grow area. Be Blessed. Eat your own grown foods from indoors at your home.
Hey Jim how you doing today looks like everything is coming together one step at a time I like what you doing now it's coming along pretty fast❤
That’s a lot of work. But you are getting it done!❤
It's going to be so beautiful
Hi. Maybe I missed a video, what's the update on the chickens? I'm glad you mentioned you have plans for the future for your chickens. I don't buy eggs or chicken meat anymore just because of bird flu or even the prices. But I do like how you care for your animals and feeding the wild birds. I'm surprised there's less rodents as I believe seeds attract rodents. I use bales to insulate my apple trees but the crows seem to like it, they dig into it but I'm also thinking that mice like to build their homes inside the bales. Good job on your home building.
The house is coming along nicely WTG Jim & Jess 😊
Efficiency and intelligence ❤❤❤
Progress for OSRL!😊👍
Hi you 2 looking great 😊
You're not in the middle of a city where you have to worry a lot about security. Most likely you would see or hear a threat long before it reached you. I don't see the need to worry which side the hinge pin is on. Or if needed there are outswing security hinges. Keep on keeping on. 👍
The two corners of the two houses put some roof abow so you have a another space to put itens you need keep dry and prevent rain into the corners
Just found your channel. Amazing buildings you are both so clever at building. I live in Australia and I don’t know where you live but it looks so barren. I don’t think I would be happy living there. But you obviously do so God bless you
From the windows…. To the bales…
OSRL never fails 💪💃🕺🏜️
You guy's are amazing I look forward to every video. 🎉🎉🎉
Your dog reminds me of the many living in Turkey and Greek mountains. I love your build. Keep it up!
Great job you two! Love it! This is my dream that isn't going to happen for me, so I'm living vicariously through you.
.
It's going great and I'm so pleased with your progress. 😊
Down in southern USA we have building code stating the main door to a house has to open out on new homes!
What gets me …is how strong this wall style of building is..-
Hey guys love your show, I just wanted to suggest getting Longevity Spinach for your garden!
Check into it, it is very nutritious and grows very well,, and is much more heartier than traditional Spinach. ❤
Also the Comfrey plant as well, it's leaves can be used as a high Nitrogen fertilizer* (and medicinal)
Fun video, love the chickens. Food for thought! Have you ever wondered why only chickens get bird flu?
Chickens are not the only birds that get bird flu, they are just the ones that affect us the most. Two baby eagles in Florida died and after they were tested, it was found to be bird flu. It is spread to other flocks by wild birds.
@@SandraC-u7z thanks
Looking good. Making progress. ❤😊
Like this style of video with voiceover
Great Job you guys! I cant wait for the next installment.
Stay Safe. . . stay warm. God Bless from Arlington Heights IL.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys 🙏💞 good work 👍😁
Great progress, great episode.
Greenhouse will be great
Ça avance bien super 👍 !!
Thanks!
Thank you for the support. 🙏
Slow and steady wins..
Turtle
Thank you for clearing that up for us
Thanks for all the videos
❤ wonderful ❤
I went to King of Hammers, and it was cold we got 1" of snow in Johnson Valley Ca.
Thanks
It's all so exciting! I'm interested in hearing about what you plant. My yard isn't ready for planting with the exception of one little area. So I thought I'd start there with a salsa garden and some dark leafy greens. Best wishes!
Looks like the dome roof could use some attention!
That's what happens when you start the next project before finishing the first one.
