I really wish I could afford the battery pack, 2999.00 is to rich for my blood, I just lost everything I own in a house fire, currently live in a camper with my 69 year old disabled father
You gotta use mold resistant board in that shower area and if bathroom isn’t ventilated correctly the entire bathroom or you are going to have a serious mold issue. You can use Green Board or DuraRock Board with a RedGard Paint covering at least 2-3 coats. If you use RedGard wear a chem mask because the fumes are very strong. Your videos and content are awesome. Thank God Spring is right around the corner.
Getting some Vit.D is always a good idea and so is turning into two snowbirds to do so. It proves that there are warmer climates and warm sand to dig your toes into.
You deserve a break today! Now if you know that commercial you remember well. I am glad that Greg and you had a great time on your mini vacation. Enjoy you guys video.
Here’s a tip for the panels, use a weighted tarp with some pull ropes, to pull/lower the tarp to prevent snow from accumulating/having to clean snow off of the solar panels.
I was told when I was remodelling my house to use blue-backer board for the walls of the shower. Any leak in the tile grout will cause the drywall to soak up the water leading to more leaks. I was told this after I had the water come up from the floor out side the stall. I had to rip out the shower walls and start again with Blue-backer board.
It's best to use mold resistant Sheetrock in a bathroom. You should put a water proof membrane in the shower before you tile. I used Kerdi membrane which is approved to go over regular sheet rock.
Looks like Sproat Lake.... can you use a small garden sprayer and spray -40 windshield wash on solar panels?... Congrats on get away! on man that sucks being sick!
Welcome home guy’s. Just to reiterate … please use the shower board made for showers it is very different then regular sheet rock. You don’t want mold infestation throughout your new home!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Blessing’s
You're right Katie when the weather is cold down it's really hard to get into thing done this winter has been the hardest I've had in my whole life being that I am water my bones hurt when the weather change and I tell you working on anything sucks take Care Keep up the Good Work
Although many years ago, I traveled from alaska to washington state. I got home and it was the first time I had ever been away from my two loyal friends Lady and Tramp. For the first few minutes they were so happy to see me and then the just would not have anything to do with me... they were angry that I had left them! It took a solid week before they forgave me which by this time, I was so grateful for. I never ever left them again for any reason. I have what I call a love and hate affair with snow. Glad you made a vacation, a great one it was, but happy to know your home as well.
I know you two have burn out really bad but my gosh look how far you have come! You have earned a real vacation! Enjoy. That’s why they call it a “vacation”
As someone who did linework and power plant work in operations for 30+ years, as well as, a motorcyclist, I can assure you of one thing for sure: having the right gear makes all the difference in the world! I was surprised to see Katie trying to scale that slide zone in footwear without good ankle support... As far as the thumbnail for this video: hang in there! You are almost there....and then you'll have the rest of your lives to enjoy that awesome place under the sun! I know I've enjoyed the journey, but I haven't had to do the work, though I know the work. Best wishes on a speedy finish date, (even though, I know, too: the work is never done when you own property, as it is always there, with more to do!). Thanks for sharing!
ARRRIBA!!!... GOOD FOR YOU, A WELLL DESERVED VACATION, AND THE WEATHER WAS EPIC I SEE, NOT TOO MANY TOURISTS IN OFF SEASON. GREG WAS CLEARLY IN NEED..LOLOL!! TOO MUCH SNOW IS EXACTLY THAT. ITS ALL MELTED HERE AND RAINED ALL NITE. BUT SNOWS GONE, WIND IS CHILLY , IM READY FOR SPRING HERE IN IDAHO. BE BLESSED YA ALL.
Oh... I hear you. I'm so tired of winter. Southwest Ohio here, For the past few weeks it's been the same routine. A couple of really nice days during the work week (I actually hand washed my truck a few weeks ago) but when the weekend comes around it's below freezing.
When I lived in the Florida keys back in the 60's we would mark the turtle nesting spots and come back and gather the eggs with my diving buddies grandfather. He worked with the Florida wildlife department and incubated the eggs and placed the hatchlings in large holding tanks, about 10 meters square or 33 ft . He had several of these for the various sizes. We would release them when there shells were about 20cm or 7 to 9 inches long if my memory is correct. Dang I'm getting old. Crap! Y'all are gittin er done. Even got a shower now.
So happy to see y'all taking time for yourself, you homesteaders are brutal to yourselves for sure. Enjoy, be safe and make those memories with each other!
Nice country. My sister lives in Bellingham and I lived in Coleville Washington in 1983. I love it up in that part of the world. I knew you were a mountain goat when I say you hauling those boards up to the roof when you were building your house.
Very nice view from on top of the mtn...and happy that you guys got a chance to go somewhere warm. I remember going to the Virgin Islands one year in Feb. , -20 F in Michigan and 95 deg. F in St Thomas. GREAT video as always !
In your shower, you need to change that sheetrock to green board - water resistant - here US is green in color, to avoid mold. Also need to add red guard water proofing. You guys have worked so hard in your property that totally deserve the vacation to Mexico, congrats.
That was good to see you two on a vacation and teaking some time for yourself. Looking forward to the next exciting episode . Greetings from Netherland Stay warm, safe and healthy.
So glad you took a break, dealing with the winter weather looks exhausting. Sorry you got sick Katy. Once the weather Warms up you can get to building again.👍❤️
You both looked like new people when you returned from your vacation. Katie’s last few minutes on video s looked like true bliss….happy to be home, with her batteries recharged, ( her batteries, not just house batteries).
Stunning scenery where you live. Totally jealous here western Australia you have achieved so much in such a short time. Admire your constant work ethics. Endless things to do and complete. Great seeing you enjoy your spot hiking etc
You guys had a well deserved vacation. Work is important, but has to be substituted by some fun and relaxation every so often. You two are doing a great job building up your little get away and home.
Thank you so much to let us see beautiful Mexico. What a completely different slice of life. You to are so lucky to have relatives who live in another country. I can't wait for the snow to stop here in Michigan. Thanks again
It was good to see you both relaxed and having the break you needed. you had some beautiful scenery and the sea looked very inviting, but you have beautiful views where you live but at the moment you have all that snow.
What a great video. Thank you for sharing. I am loving your vlog, watching you two work together. Now a little mini break away to rejuvenate your spirits to miss home. You are so natural sharing your life, I enjoy your vlogs and look forward to each one...I couldn't enjoy a vacation away for too long either. Just as you were walking on the beach I was missing the Animals then Gregg mentioned the dogs 🐕 ....Best part about going away, is coming home...🏡ty
I like watching your steady progress and will point out that I am a master carpenter , electrical worker and Plummer , so just a thought and please dont be offended , but replace thr 45 on the inlet and the tub with 90 s to shorten the lines and run them downhill as far as you can as it will create close to 10 psi more and the rule , just like a garden hose is larger inlet usually 2 inch reducwd to half gives you more pressure and the response of your instant heater will work much better also , but if not possible a higher flow pump will help greatly . Please ask if you have any questions as I have encountered many , many situations , Thanks and best of luck .
Hi, I just wanted to add this. I am delighted you were able to have this vacation. You are both very hard workers, very impressive and deserve a break!
Good to see ya'll get out doing something. The only recreating I have seen you do is to go down to the lake/river. KT, sorry you got sick.Have fun and I look forward to seeing more of all you all do. Oh and add to the summer to do's, build another woodshed to stock even more firewood!
Beautiful vacation so glad you could get away from the snow and could but it has it's beauties as well. Loved the trip ❤ thank you for sharing I'm sure the dogs will be all over you when you get home

LOLOL wow from the beach to the snow YIKES!!! Mama and daddy are home everybody the dogs missed you two for sure. You are ready to go again after a burn out it is a GOOD THING!!! God Bless you ALL
the standard for shower valve above a tub is 28 inches above the floor, they make a rol;l on rubber coating to water proof that regular sheet rock in your shower
So glad y’all had the opportunity to get away. To someplace warm lol. You’re some hardworking people,& deserve a major break. Good job on the shower installation. It was so cool when you got back home. All your animals,& pets were so happy. Thanks for sharing, welcome back.💯❤️👍🏾💜🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

That scenery and fresh air can cure your soul! So happy for you to vaca in a warmer climate!

Take a break if you need it. You guys have accomplished a lot on the property. Looking forward to seeing more this year. 😁
I don't think I've seen anyone enjoy a vacation as much as you two. Looked like a great time. I am so happy for you. Hugs...
Glad you two enjoyed your vacation in Mexico. Coming home from a trip is always great, too. Great video, Katie. Good job!
You deserve a break today! Now if you know that commercial you remember well. I am glad that Greg and you had a great time on your mini vacation. Enjoy you guys video.

You need to make a bracket to mount the plow blade to the loader frame after bucket is removed
Cool shot of the turtle!!!
Also, I can't wait to come home and see my fuzzy boys ❤️
Glad y'all enjoyed your time away. You both needed it! Thanks that place was awesome beautiful!
Greg may want to move to Mexico to get away from the snow too
Glad to see you get away and have fun.
Looks like Sproat Lake.... can you use a small garden sprayer and spray -40 windshield wash on solar panels?... Congrats on get away! on man that sucks being sick!
Build it and get it done. It'll be sweet victory.
Beautiful photography! Thanks for taking me on your vacation. Great video!

Dear Kati, greetings from bavaria ! We have also snow again ,don'' t worry, it is possible till APRIL !!!
Green board or cement boards only in shower. 😮moisture barrier paint is questionable, regular drywall is a definite no. Good luck.

Nice country. My sister lives in Bellingham and I lived in Coleville Washington in 1983. I love it up in that part of the world. I knew you were a mountain goat when I say you hauling those boards up to the roof when you were building your house.
Those mountains and that river are absolutely gorgeous!
Just wonderful to see you happy and relaxing. Be well and enjoy!
Very nice view from on top of the mtn...and happy that you guys got a chance to go somewhere warm. I remember going to the Virgin Islands one year in Feb. , -20 F in Michigan and 95 deg. F in St Thomas. GREAT video as always !

This is a good year for Canadians to go to Mexico. BC to Novascosia, I know at least 5 youtubers ready to go south about this time.
Loved every minute of your video. Thank you for taking us along.
It is always nice to get away but even better to come back.
agreed

So pleased you enjoyed your holiday, good to take a break especially when it has been full on x
Good time.How are you friends?You have a beautiful nature similar to our Siberian one.Your video has been split logs into boards.It's a great job.Your hands are golden!
Just be careful of the condensation. You probably would have been better off using Tyvek house wrap. Tyvek prevents moisture from getting through it.
yes is called spring fever and wonder if you getting seed ready and in dirt for planting lol
Wow! Such gorgeous views… thanks for sharing!
I guess everyone feels burn out sometimes… you guys are doing fine, take your time to enjoy something different! ❤ Nice vacation!!!
Happy you two enjoyed your vacation. You guys needed some time off.
Nice one guys. Katie rocks.
