Love the working berms and swales! And Nine Nine's joy of leaping through puddles. Nine Nine appears to have a great ability to keep himself amused with dirt, bugs, puddles, etc! A happy, well-cared for being and a joy to watch! ❤
I live in Whetstone (own 4 acres) and would NEVER want to live anywhere else... We are truly blessed to be living in this mostly peaceful place in the "desert"
I know it is impeding your ability to get other things done, but it is so amazing to see your swales at work, etc…such a blessing to have water, you know?
Couldn't have happened at a better time now that you're actually ready for all the rain! Wonderful news!!! Your desert is blossoming like a rose! What a world you are creating! 🌧️🌦️🌥️⛅🌤️
This is so cool!! We are in the Mojave Desert in CA, we don't get quite as much monsoon activity as you do--but your greenery right now is amazing! Green in the desert is the most beautiful thing. You guys have inspired me to get a rain barrel for my chickens and garden to harvest the little water we do get. I love your adventures!
I’m so excited that the berms and swales are working well, and can’t wait to see the trees grow bigger over time!! ❤️😁👏🏻 Also, monsoon season + Nine Nine = hours of entertainment! 😂
After watching yesterday's video and living in the desert for over 30 years I wondered about how your property did in the recent rains especially knowing what happened in Duncan. So happy the berms are working. PLEASE do not attempt the washes. Have fun in the water 99.
Oh my goodness!! Nine Nine playing in the water made my day. So cute!! I would watch an hour long video of him playing in the water and bouncing through the tall grasses 🥰
So glad you had your swale and berm system installed in time to take advantage of the monsoon season in your area. I watched a video recently about these kind of projects being installed in areas of India that had been over cropped and over grazed to devastating effect. The swale and berm systems are bringing them back to life. So glad you are getting the word out about these regenerative practices. One can only hope that other areas in the western U.S. will join in. Best to your family as you continue your efforts and experiments. Yay, Tiny Shiny Home!
Your trees seem to be loving the rain and so is your beautiful pup..He has such a joy of life in him ,if it’s not water it’s dirt . He’s so helpful too lol! I really enjoy watching your videos ,they are so uplifting and hopefully inspiring for others to do what your doing too . Love and Light to you all 🥰
The wet road reminds me of when we lived on a dirt road and had to park the truck a quarter of a mile from the house, to be able to drive out. Those were the days😀
I love the monsoon season - it forces everyone to plan ahead and to get ready to enjoy being home. I know that you have to work every day to get your home built. But the rain forces you to stop working and enjoying rest and relaxation that I know you would not do if it weren’t raining. Also, I think the heat this year hasn’t really been that bad. God is having mercy on you and your kids!
I love your commitment to water management and reuse. All the hard work you put into the berm and swale project has definitely paid off. I have “green envy” from the lushness you have after each Monsoon cycle.
Water/Rain the gift of life! Just an amazing site after a drought! Many people in AZ are struggling with flooding, but you are getting great benifits for years to come with great starts to your trees! Nine Nine is a barrel of laughs :)
Beautiful! All that water! Blessings galore! Mohave here. Storm went around us (bummer) but sky was beautiful, full of gold and purple flashes behind clouds like yours for an hour! 1200 gallons! Maybe another holding tank eventually! Wishing I was Nine Nine!
I'm glad the Berms and swales are working out for y'all. Maybe 2 or 3 culvert pipes next to each other may help your driveway or a bridge would be pretty, but I'm sure you have an awesome plan
The rain in the dessert is the best. The washes can be dangerous that's for sure but they sure are amazing to watch. Your family needed this rain break. You guys work long and hard. Enjoy, and I hope you get your sushi 🍣. See you tomorrow.
Bonjour la family. i've been watching the weather forecast for the Tuscson area and zikes: it's been raining. what a delight to see Nine-Nine frolicking at Tiny Shiny Lake. what fun !! Bravo Rudy. the Berms and Swales are a work art and ecological expertise. i'm happy for you all. as for yesterday's video, i watching in it 15 minutes segments throughtout the day. I've seen the originals and i want to help out algorithmically. remember: turn around, don't drown !!!
The property is beautiful. You are right , stay out that running water. It sure is a lot of water. Nine nine is the best. He could entertain me all day. That pit sure got full. Love you guys.
Absolutely amazing what happens when rain happens in the desert, very informative video, for mr the uninformed, the work has paid off , on your snails and flow control of the rainwater amazing what you have done with your land great video, 99 will have to talk to his agent he just about stole the show!!
When you came to this land, it was a semi-desert land, but now God gave you water to irrigate these lands. It is now like a paradise with rivers, trees, and mountains. The earth has become green. You are a lucky family. God bless you from Australia, Sydney.❤❤❤❤❤
The sight of that much water in the desert is wonderful. It will truly make a difference during the dry times of the year to come. I eagerly anticipate seeing it in a year, in 3 years, in 5 years. You will have a true oasis. I also love seeing the native pollinators in action. They will make your garden sooooo productive.
My wife and I have been following you guys for years on UA-cam in preparation for our move back to California from the Arizona desert. We just purchased 27 acres in Modoc County California. We’re so thankful of all the entertainment as well as education we have gained from you guys. You guys are an absolute joy to watch and make us smile every time we watch y’all. If y’all need an IBC tote and a trailer I’ve got extra of both. Thanks y’all Jason&Jenn
Arizona during monsoon is so beautiful 😍 or property is on the other end of the state (Navajo county) but it's starting to really green up from all this rain too 😊 also, your dog is so bouncy and I love it lol 😂
Back in 2006 A girlfriend of mine drove her car into a wash that ran over our road in queen creek. At the time I worked for superstition springs Honda. I put her car up on one of my car lifts and pulled the drain plugs in the frame. It sat there for two days draining. The cars electrical was never the same. Insurance company totaled the car. She was lucky she got herself and her kids out of the car, because it got swept down the wash a ways caked in red mud. She had bought the car new a week before. Monsoon is no joke!
So wonderful! Berms working, massive amount of rain! Once you get enough storage tanks in you will be able to cover a lot of your water needs. Enjoy the season!
Our tiny house got stuck on the way back on our dirt roads (it rained but wasn’t terrible, so we thought) and our 8 year old said our new motto is “we don’t risk it!” Took 2 trucks and a backhoe to get it out… we have learned that we don’t risk it! 🤣
Saw the whole video of the work in progress. It was very inspiring. I knew as soon as I saw your chickens going away at it on the top of those berms that your grass seeds would be gone in no time but you guys have enough grass around there that you could mow or cut down and use as mulch around your trees. Grass mulch has got to be one of the best mulches out there for trees as they are high nitrogen feeders and they just thrive so well on the stuff. It would also be a great idea to get another water tank set up next to the existing one to collect the overflow and from there you could connect it to a pump to send the water closer to wherever you want.
Love the updates. So as someone who's lived in AZ for 30 years when we have a kickazz monsoon the winter is usually pretty darn cold. Your property right now is just gorgeous 😍 ❤️
Nine nine you make me laugh so hard!!, You are the star of the show. Love seeing him having a blast!! Laughing to tears. Thanks for sharing so much of your lives. Love you guys
Loved seeing the swells working as planned. Your dessert is greening up well. Glad to here that your last final coat is holding up decently. A little more tweaking and you should have your final coat formula worked out. Thanks for showing us the water storage tank in action. Could you use a transfer pump to pump the water from that tank via a garden hose or pcv tubing to another tank?
You have made such a huge amount of progress! Congratulations to you and the Tiny Shiny Community. Your land will be so incredible once you have beamed and swaled everywhere!
Yes, the full video of berms and swells, with tree planting was very informative!!! Now to follow with monsoons, and evidence of how well it is already working, is perfect.
Why not use a cement sealer over the walls to repel water. Also, I know it's not cheap but get a second water container for over flow. Never have enough drinking water.
Man there is nothing that brings me more joy than basins and swales in the desert being full of water.
Love the working berms and swales! And Nine Nine's joy of leaping through puddles. Nine Nine appears to have a great ability to keep himself amused with dirt, bugs, puddles, etc! A happy, well-cared for being and a joy to watch! ❤
R.I.P Nine Nine😢

Your property is looking beautifully green.
I love the way Nine-Nine bounces. He doesn't run he bounces.
Couldn't have happened at a better time now that you're actually ready for all the rain! Wonderful news!!! Your desert is blossoming like a rose! What a world you are creating! 🌧️🌦️🌥️⛅🌤️
Watching Nine- Nine play in the water is the sweetest thing ever!
I'm soooo not a desert person but I really enjoy seeing how you are developing the property. Habitats, materials and techniques are fascinating.
This is so cool!! We are in the Mojave Desert in CA, we don't get quite as much monsoon activity as you do--but your greenery right now is amazing! Green in the desert is the most beautiful thing.

I'm a former Mojave desert person. Hesperia and Apple Valley are my old stomping grounds and you ?
@@williamlewis8741 my dear friend lived in Apple 🍎 Valley for many years, we sadly lost her this year. I still hope to visit one day. 🙏 🇦🇺💜🇺🇲💚😊👍🖐
Nine Nine's joyful puddle play brings a big smile to my face!!
Enjoy the break while it’s raining. The berms are such a blessing.

Love watching nine nine playing in the puddles. His jumps almost like a bunny hop and a kangaroo hop. God bless y'all. stay safe.
Thank you for sharing!!!! So happy the berms and swales are working so well!! It’s a good feeling when a project goes right! ❤️
My mother used to say that 'rain is a blessing'. It means you are blessed.
Thanks for the big rain update! You must get a tremendous sense of satisfaction from seeing the earthworks working as planned.
I just love Nine. Me and my chihuahua Chica enjoy watching him play in the water.
Great work on the swales !!!!!! Omg Nine Nine love his puddles......love watching him.

Mr An’s was really good. We also missed sushi so much when we first started homesteading here.
The desert is so beautiful when it's green
Great work on water management ! It will transform your property and enhance your sustainability ! That is motivating and inspiring!
The property is beautiful. You are right , stay out that running water. It sure is a lot of water. Nine nine is the best. He could entertain me all day. That pit sure got full. Love you guys.
Every dog deserves to be in such a joyful environment.
Love watching Nine running and jumping !sooo happy to play in the 💦 💧 water 💦
Nine Nine is such a hoot. Glad the berms and swales are working for you. Congratulations on the 88K plus.
Please take care and be safe

Oh! Shoot us an email on what you’ve got and we’ll see if we can swing it
@@TinyShinyHome I sent y’all a message on your “let’s do this” on your site.
Nine Nine’s funny 😆 wow we could sure use some of that rain here in So. Cal.. capturing all that would last you months
Arizona during monsoon is so beautiful 😍 or property is on the other end of the state (Navajo county) but it's starting to really green up from all this rain too 😊
also, your dog is so bouncy and I love it lol 😂
Even before the montage, I was thinking to myself how joyful Nine-Nine is! His exuberance is such good soul medicine! 🥰
Wow!! So much beautiful rain in the dessert is even more beautiful 😍 🤩
Back in 2006
A girlfriend of mine drove her car into a wash that ran over our road in queen creek.
At the time I worked for superstition springs Honda. I put her car up on one of my car lifts and pulled the drain plugs in the frame.
It sat there for two days draining. The cars electrical was never the same. Insurance company totaled the car.
She was lucky she got herself and her kids out of the car, because it got swept down the wash a ways caked in red mud.
She had bought the car new a week before.
Monsoon is no joke!
So wonderful! Berms working, massive amount of rain! Once you get enough storage tanks in you will be able to cover a lot of your water needs.
Enjoy the season!
It's working so well! So awesome! Also, everyone needs to live with the same kind of utter joy and zest for life as Nine Nine!
Our tiny house got stuck on the way back on our dirt roads (it rained but wasn’t terrible, so we thought) and our 8 year old said our new motto is “we don’t risk it!” Took 2 trucks and a backhoe to get it out… we have learned that we don’t risk it! 🤣
Haha that's a great catch phrase!
Nine Nine is so cute and funny reminds me of my ole Lab . She loved the water
Amazingly green. Love that the berms are working and the new trees are happy.
"Dogs are the gods of play."

Love the job it’s doing and how awesome the greenery is doing!! Tree look beautiful!!
Nine has sooo much energy. Good thing he has such a large place to expend the springs in his legs! 😂
Love the berms and swales and all the water. Be safe!!!
Love the updates. So as someone who's lived in AZ for 30 years when we have a kickazz monsoon the winter is usually pretty darn cold. Your property right now is just gorgeous 😍 ❤️
Nine nine you make me laugh so hard!!, You are the star of the show. Love seeing him having a blast!! Laughing to tears. Thanks for sharing so much of your lives. Love you guys
Having lived in the desert, I'm super jealous. Monsoons are my favorite season. I can almost smell the air - love that wet desert smell.
Wow so good to see your water collection. I didn't realise how beautiful and green it's become for you
Life is better when you are prepared! Well done on not getting washed away. The land is better off too.
The Beautiful Sound of Water! Love it! :)
99 makes my smile every day 💗 please thank him from me 💗
I love how you can see that you love each other. I love the berms and swales. I love the bounciest dog ever.

I love the happy puddle bounces
You have made such a huge amount of progress! Congratulations to you and the Tiny Shiny Community. Your land will be so incredible once you have beamed and swaled everywhere!
Nine Nine is so funny, what a delight. 🇳🇿. New Zealand has had more than twice its normal rain in a month than it normally would.
This is so amazing, think about all the people you are encouraging to follow their dreams!🥰
Yea Rudy! And you guys to! Playing in the rain ☔️
It's amazing the transformation of green the rainy season makes
It’s all soooo beautiful! And the music suited it well!
You guys are so much fun!! Sushi boats😂😂. I think Nine's legs are made of springs!
Yes, the full video of berms and swells, with tree planting was very informative!!! Now to follow with monsoons, and evidence of how well it is already working, is perfect.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU on your berm&swale water mitigating work !
Nine-Nine is living his best life in all the water, so funny 😆 x
Good to see you smiling. Also good to see that it's working for you.
Monsoons have been great this year! We wish Riverside county, California would get some of that rain 🙏
The happy puppers is everything.
The water on your other property sounds beautiful....
You all need a good long rest
WOW, Now that is wonderful. Thanks for the visit. NEOHIO
hello Nine you crazy ,fun, beautiful dog 🙂
