  • May 10, 2022 we not only hit our 4 year anniversary of moving to this property but we also hit 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS on our UA-cam Channel!
    4 years ago we sold everything we owned except our tools and our rv, moved out to 73 acres of raw land in West Virginia and embarked on the journey of a lifetime. As husband and wife, we built our home from the ground up over the past 4 years.
    We started out documenting our journey with the intention to share with our family and for our kids to be able to look back on when they were older. Little did we know, you all would welcome us into your homes week after week. You've laughed with us, cried with us, encouraged us, and cheered us on as we poured our blood, sweat and tears into building a home for our family.
    Thank you so much for being a part of our story and for making such a huge difference in our lives!
    This is our timelapse showing the last 4 years of our build, our family and the road to 1 million subscribers!

    • TIMELAPSE- Couple Buil...
    We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
    Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

      No doubt they will be lost for a time without Chuck's expert management keeping the project on track. My guess is they'll have to quickly promote Frankie to fill the position - to avoid having the whole project just go completely off the rails. Hahahaha!

    In late 2018 I suffered a brain injury incident and kinda lost a lot of things, but as I recovered I found this little family taking on a huge project and I became involved in their day to day struggles and triumphs. Following along as I recovered and became normal again gave me one more thing to be happy about. You guys are a part of my life now and I will always be here. ❤️

    This is the most beautiful, well composed piece of time-lapse I have even seen. The songs are so well chosen and matched with the overall vibes.

    Thank you for sharing your amazing family home build with us, as well as your wonderful family, i've been with you from the start so it's amazing to see how much and how quickly your kids have grown, not to mentions the fantastic looking home and how nostalgic it was to see a recap of the whole build.

    My favourite ‘second family’ for 4 years! I missed the first couple of uploads but dove in and your videos have been a part of our weekly ritual ever since. We feel we have grown with you and your beautiful family, through your ups and downs, injuries, hiccups and successes. I have laughed along the way, been stressed with you along the way, been proud of you along your journey and sat in wonder at your heartwarming partnership, patience, witty banter and love you have for each other and your precious family. I felt the pain of your loss of your ‘good boy’ from 15,000kms away in Australia today and like we have before, we cried with you along the way again today. We are so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you, B and C

    In Australia decades ago farmers used to live in tin sheds whilst building up not just a house but also the farm itself. My own parents did this too. Hot water was just a large copper barrel over a fire, cooking was done using a wood stove, lighting was from a 32v pedal generator into a battery which would only 2 or 3 light globes.
    When Mum was pregnant with me and I was due she would be driving a tractor to try and make me come, When I finally did arrive I was [overcooked] as in being 3 weeks overdue. :D

    I think we've all enjoyed sharing your many "victories" with you, but most of all I think we are attracted to your togetherness and love for each other in the entire family. One of these days when you reach retirement and you look back on your "family photo album" you will wonder how you got there so fast. Savor every moment now as I'm sure you do. You are making wonderful memories with your kids and each other. What a great example you are for your kids and other young people to emulate. Congrats on a million!!!

I’ve been watching you guys from the beginning fighting blood/bone cancer for the last 8 1/2 years and I’ve been in bed most of the time and I always watch you guys and it’s help me through a lot of pain and sad times and I thank you guys for that you deserve all you have. I didn’t realize Chuck had passed away so rest in peace Chuck. 🙏❤️

I wish I could go back in time and try what you two have accomplished but it takes a special love between two people to do what you have done. Josh you have to be the luckiest man on earth to have God bless you with a love like you have. Thank you both for all you have done for me. I'll be sure to say Hi to Chuck when I see him for ya 💗

    I find it so crazy, that just one week shy of two years ago, I stumbled across your time lapse video that brought me up-to-speed on the build at that time. I haven’t missed a minute, since. It’s one of the few constants in my life over the last two years, where I myself started a new chapter becoming fully certificated to fly helicopters. I always look forward to your mid-week and weekend videos, and it brings me a lot of joy when I open up this app to find your newest video ready for me. This update was so nice to once again see just how far you’ve progressed, condensed into a bite sized chunk. I look forward to the next part of the build. And Chuck is still my spirit animal.
