My thoughts after 7 full years of life in a tiny house, heading into year 8. Somehow when I was filming this, I was thinking it was 8 going on 9. Sorry for the mis-speak.
hi Ariel? I learned in this video that Clay is your husband, not a boyfriend 😉 may I ask when you two married? I know you met at the property where you used to live, how long ago was that? I hope these questions are not too personal.
Ariel, believe it or not but after watching you over the years you have been my inspiration for me to live tiny. I'm 63 and I've have literally just given up my bricks and sticks rented house to live in my beautiful travel trailer where I'm pitched permanently on a coastal site. I do have electric but I haul my water, I have a cassette toilet and I have propane cooker and heating that I don't need as the winters aren't cold here in Cyprus. I'm truly happy for you and to see you have Clay and Burley by your side. Happy 8th anniversary. 💕💕
Moya, I too am 63 and just moved into a small house I bought. I live in a small town in Oklahoma U.S.A. I have tons of respect for you since I know what it takes to live the way you do. Best wishes.
Marriage seems to agree with you. Sharing a life with someone is a wonderful thing. I have really enjoyed following you on your journey. Best of luck to you and Clay and all your critters.
Having followed you for years, watching The Griz doing his thing in your home and then greeting Burley-Man sure has made the years flow by in a graceful manner. Meeting you down in Missouri and watching your poise and presentation was another plus in my life. Thank you for taking the time to hone your editing skills, film when it might have been inconvenient, always having a cheerful and bubbling presence, and bringing us along on a journey which is not unlike, in many ways, to Richard Proeneke's (may have misspelled his last name) life in Alaska. "Thanks for the memories"
You didn't misspell it. I watched his build in Minnesota on PTV with my children. I still get calls from them and they were watching Dick with their families.
Ive been watching for years and never realized you got the idea from that article about the boy who built his tiny house in the back yard. I remember that article and was like what a neat idea!
Ariel you are just a precious human being. My heart melts for you and your Clay ☺️ may you be blessed with many years full of happiness, projects and good health. You have no idea how your videos lift us up, gives us hope in humankind, laughter with your fur babies and watered mouth with your cooking 😁 Wish you and Clay all the best in the world. "My husband and I" sounds so right! A hug across the ocean
Wow. Congrats on your journey and life with Clay. Did I miss what happened to the property you were planning on going to in Oregon or Washington ? You once showed us a small glimpse of it and the overgrowth by the creek. Cheers to Burley too. 🤙🍁
I can't remember how many years it's been since Fy Nyth and I collided, I believe at least 3 or 4 and I've loved every minute of it. My husband (now deceased) and I built a small house in the rural south in 1986. We had help with the cinder block piers, the trusses and the electrical wiring, the rest we did ourselves. The county in the state we were building in had lots and lots of rules about what a builder could and couldn't do. Having an off grid tiny house would have been a great option for us but wasn't an option in 1986. We cut trees off of our 3+ acres, had chickens, guinea fowl, and a little garden. I was fortunate because my Mom and Dad gave us the land, carved off from their land. After a few years we ended up moving back to Arizona 🙂
Happy Anniversary! I've watched you from the start, interesting, informative, sadness too and I'm glad you let us all go on the journey with you. I wish you all things good, a happy life and peace within. I'm one of those 'older' people who's dream it was to build my own cabin, I had the knowledge, the physical strength and the will but things came in life that changed plans, put my goals in different directions, etc., no excuses, just the way it was. If your dream is to have a tiny house, a cabin, or whatever your dream is, do it while you can, if you can. Now I'm 67, post cancer (100% cured) but treatment can rob you of your bodies abilities. I still go out and split firewood which, like you Ariel, I love doing, it's peaceful and the end result is a warm fire. Again, thank you Ariel, hope to continue with you on your journey through life!
I have followed you since about year 3 or so.. I have learned SO MUCH from you about so many things. You are so pragmatic and sensible. My favorite part of this anniversary video is to see the corners of your mouth turn up when you talk about this journey, and how finding your life partner… loving the same things you do. You deserve every bit of your happiness. You work hard. Well done, my UA-cam friend!😊🐾👍🌲
So good to be hear all future changes. Your sacrifices to make your tiny home work, your ability/ interest to help others, and your continued teaching to help others. Glad this works for you and Clay for now and can't wait to see your future small house! Bless you Ariel & Clay in your journey together !
Your description of your relationship with Clay speaks of 'Mutualism and Reciprocity' two of the most important ingredients for a genuine love based relationship. Seeing this makes me happy for you both.
I'm currently working on the work/save part of my journey. I want to buy my own property with either raw land or an old rundown house that I can fix up. Unfortunately, my husband isn't interested in losing his conveniences so I'll probably be making my journey on my own. But it will be well worth it to not have a mortgage hanging over my head and the freedom to spend my time the way I want instead of being stuck in the grind.
You are such a blessing to us all! Thank you for sharing your life with us. It is wonderful that Clay is your partner and you guys have goals together to do. Can’t wait for what is next.
I just bought my tiny house My brother has let me put it on his property. I love that I was able to buy it outright. I got my from Incredible tiny homes in Newport Tenn. I feel blessed that I now am able to retire & relax . I have enjoyed your video's & have learned a lot from you< you even made me feel I could do a composting toilet .but I'm older & have used outhouses in my past. So..... I knew I could do it, I just wasn't sure what was involved. but because of your video I was able to make a informed decision, So thank you.
Ariel, I love living vicariously through you! I am 58, and would love to try tiny living, but for many reasons it will not work for my family. We live in a large home, but it is paid off. My husband and I have decided we will stay here until we can’t climb stairs anymore. In the meantime, I have been decluttering and clearing out a lot of the “stuff”, and just generally trying to live more simply. We enlarged our raised bed garden this year, and I’ve been preserving as much as possible. I even used your sauerkraut recipe, which I loved. We are blessed with a great neighborhood out in the country and wonderful neighbors. So the tiny house will remain a wish, and I will happily follow your progress. 😊
Congratulations on your anniversary and a big thank you for sharing your journey with us all. Tiny houses are now appearing here in New Zealand too. And are a great option in many situations.
Love the updates, thank you! You seem so happy and positively radiant, and I am so glad to see all is well for you. How wonderful that you and Clay found each other! So glad you are posting on YT regularly again, I really missed your videos here. Wishing you and your sweet household (including the pets!) all the best, Ariel. I sure hope you will continue to post videos here if you move out of the tiny house. Your lifestyle and outlook are very inspiring and endlessly watchable 💜
Congratulations, Ariel. It's been interesting following your blogs and videos over these several years. Happy holidays to you and to Clay. All the best to you and those you love.
Congratulations on your journey. It is an amazing time for your generation, with the internet becoming as common place as electricity. Anyone with phone and a good eye can make money in photography, where as not to long ago you had to invest in a good film camera and develop it. Solar has made leap and bounds in just the last five years, making a nomadic life much easier. But as you mentioned, and many people forget, it still comes at the expense of hard work, sacrifice, and good planning. I hope am am around for the 20 year episode, keep up the good work.
I wished that I had that grinder that you used on your cranberries and oranges. My food processor and my immersion blender went on strike day before yesterday. I ended up cooking the whole berries and zesting the orange. Used the spices that you recommended and the family liked it. They took some home and so did my sister. WONDERFUL with turkey and I love it on hot buttered toast! Thank You! I'm so glad that I found your channel all those years ago. It has been a blessing to me and I have told others about it. Blessings on you and your family and friends and any livestock you might have wandering around the house and yard.!
Ariel you also were my inspiration for tiny life. I now have my tiny house and I am on my 4th month. I absolutely love it. I am so glad I found your channel all those years ago. I am so happy for you. It seems your life is doing great. I am so glad you came back to UA-cam, I am a big fan of yours
You have enjoyed this year twice, is all. Being married and all the new homesteading makes you twice as happy!!! I have dreamed of a tiny home 20 years but will be happy to see so many others have them now. Like youI have lived in my car, travel and tent camped and mostly just wanna be outdoors.
I have really enjoyed watching all of your adventures over the years. Your tiny house has really served you well. Very excited to watch all the new teaching moments and adventures with Clay and the animals!
You are a vibrant rainbow and a bushel of roses!, and have helped me through life immensely watching your videos. You are truly an amazing woman and look forward to all your endeavors life will bring . God Bless You and Clay !
Ariel, I have so enjoyed sharing this time with you, watching your situation evolve. I think you are a wonderful inspiration and articulate speaker for those who need to get their lives in wise order. Your parents most be so pleased. I have three daughters, in their late 30s, early 40s, and your are our hero. Thank you for sharing how Fy Nyth has helped you get your financial life in order. IMHO this has been extraordinary. Big congratulations to Clay. Hugs to you all. Texas
Congratulations Ariel, I'm really glad I found your channel, it's one of my favourite UA-cam channels. You've inspired me a lot as a single woman to see how you survived and thrived living alone in your tiny house. I look forward to seeing what you, Clay and your furbabies do next on your life adventure.
Ariel, congratulations on your milestone! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I made your cranberry/citrus salad and it was a HUGE success at my family dinner yesterday👏👏👏👏 I am in the beginning stages of planning my retirement space which will be not really tiny by very small (900sqft). I am very excited and your videos are so helpful and illuminating. Thanks so much 🙏
I wish I could live in a tiny house (too late now). Much better then an apartment. You have done amazing with your home . Look forward to seeing what your next abode will be with your new partner. Perhaps you would rent your tiny house when no longer needed.....Hint. Hint😉
Good idea about a house with root cellar. But your tiny house is such a great option for young people or for those retiring and down seizing. Life takes effort too be happy !
Dear Ariel, congratulations on your 9th year anniversary! I’ve been here since the days you had Bear. I actually fell in love with your kindness and compassion, you were so wonderful to her. Shortly thereafter, I fell in love with the entire Fynyth world and adventures. My goodness, looking back, you were just a baby! So brave, encouraging, and inspiring. That still holds true today, just on a larger scale. You are like family now. Burley, Clay, Velcro and all the birds too. I have so many ideas but you probably get a million a day so I will refrain from sharing except one little tip. For years I took care of 30 show horses full time here on the east coast. I remember plenty of 9 degree mornings which of course meant lots of water carrying. Doing a minimum of 60 buckets a day, my posture was taking a beating, leaning far right. So, I started carrying two buckets at a time to balance my posture. It worked, and even though it was more weight, it also made me stronger and got my buckets done in half the time. Just something to consider! Much love to you and your family.❤️
Happy anniversary! This is such a great testimony regarding so many things. I am so happy for you and for you and Clay. I am looking forward to following you and your new homesteads transformation. Take care!
Congratulations to the 7th anniversary. I hope you get lucky and can spend many more years at your new place with Clay. Even if all of your years is not in a tiny house. And good luck with the future build of a new house - if or when it happen
Congratulations Ariel! There were some tremendous changes for you in the last seven years. I look forward to following as your journey unfolds in year eight and into the future.
Congrats and thank you for all the wonderful videos you've posted over the last 7 years. I'm looking forward to watching the building process of your future "small" house and wondered if you've come up with any design ideas for the house yet.
Ariel, it was great to hear from you on the 8th anniversary of Fy Nyth. I have enjoyed your videos so much,, and I feel as if I know you. You have built a life that suits you, and I think it's a fine gift you have given yourself. You are a strong and wise woman. Keep on keepin on. My best to Clay, Burley, Velcro, your ducks, your chickens and the occasional cattle that wander by.
Congrads on 8 years in your sweet spot ,so glad to be enjoying your videos again ,glad you and Clay are enjoying your new spot also your new furry friends ,may year 9 bring you more happiness . 🐈🐕🐔 From Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing. Something to think about with your new house is having an utility's room. We had one growing up. They are so useful. The washer &dryer , freezer, 2 big utility sinks, door to the wood shed and s gas stove for canning were in there along with places for boots and coats etc. I miss not having one now.
We just moved onto our property Nov 1 st and we're living in our 32 ft RV , and will be living in it until we get a manufactured home put on the property. We have a well, electric and septic already on the land so it's definitely nice to have that....our RV isn't all seasons so before I left my home town I started insulating the roof ,I'm glad I did cause I run 3 electric heaters on low in three different zones of the rv and that keeps us warm down to 22 degrees. We have chickens and rabbits seeing that we're working on being a farmstead...good luck with you and your hubby on your new property!
Love your style grin when it building every thing glad you have you house which is lovely well done. Now you you have your own land you can build the root cellar! ¡!
Congratulations on your 8th tiny house anniversary! I so enjoy your videos. You have the heart of a teacher and bring so much illumination to the tasks at hand. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world. 😊
Sadly even a small plot of land is very expensive in England and planning permission for even a tiny house is hard to get ... I love your videos and your photography btw, been watching on and off for a few years now
Happy Houseaversary :D Thank you for sharing all your beautiful photos and info on living in WY in a tiny house . It has all been so encouraging. Congratulations and Blessings to you and Clay. Looking forward to the next years journey
Always thoughtful and interesting, Ariel. Thx for taking us along with you! Btw did you ever find out what became of that orphaned baby moose that was hanging around your house? I started watching you before you painted the exterior. Has it been so long? I was inspired and started accumulating tiny house stuff. I still have a stack of new windows, cute door knobs, etc. that I might now not ever use. Lol I have five mostly grown kids, most of which moved back home to finish college so tiny just isn’t going to happen for me. But I like to live vicariously through you, as an alternative universe😁
Ariel, if you've never seen Little Mountain Ranch's videos, there's a lot of good info on root cellars in a cold climate. Good to see you and Burley warm & comfortable in Fy Nyth. Have you and Clay thought of a name for your new homestead?
Enjoyed the video so much, very informational and interesting! Very nice picture of you and your hubby! :) So nice for you! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Happy Anniversary! Thinking about "I wish I had..." I have done so many things that I wished I could do, some worked out, some did not, no regrets there. But I won't live long enough to do everything I wish I could do, so I might well make the statement "I wish I had... " But I would have had to give up something else to have made that happen. Choices!
My thoughts after 7 full years of life in a tiny house, heading into year 8. Somehow when I was filming this, I was thinking it was 8 going on 9. Sorry for the mis-speak.
Happy Thanksgiving Aerial!!! Much love & blessings from Western KY! ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻🌻
I hope that everyone stateside had a wonderful holiday!
Lol I caught that. I was ummm Ariel which one is it? Lol 💛
hi Ariel? I learned in this video that Clay is your husband, not a boyfriend 😉 may I ask when you two married? I know you met at the property where you used to live, how long ago was that? I hope these questions are not too personal.
Ariel, believe it or not but after watching you over the years you have been my inspiration for me to live tiny. I'm 63 and I've have literally just given up my bricks and sticks rented house to live in my beautiful travel trailer where I'm pitched permanently on a coastal site. I do have electric but I haul my water, I have a cassette toilet and I have propane cooker and heating that I don't need as the winters aren't cold here in Cyprus. I'm truly happy for you and to see you have Clay and Burley by your side. Happy 8th anniversary. 💕💕
Moya, I too am 63 and just moved into a small house I bought. I live in a small town in Oklahoma U.S.A. I have tons of respect for you since I know what it takes to live the way you do. Best wishes.
@@Charles_ONeal thank you so much for your kind words. Enjoy your tiny home.
Ariel, I love your "live and let live" attitude. Thank you for another "fireside" chat. I love your videos.
Marriage seems to agree with you. Sharing a life with someone is a wonderful thing. I have really enjoyed following you on your journey. Best of luck to you and Clay and all your critters.
Having followed you for years, watching The Griz doing his thing in your home and then greeting Burley-Man sure has made the years flow by in a graceful manner. Meeting you down in Missouri and watching your poise and presentation was another plus in my life. Thank you for taking the time to hone your editing skills, film when it might have been inconvenient, always having a cheerful and bubbling presence, and bringing us along on a journey which is not unlike, in many ways, to Richard Proeneke's (may have misspelled his last name) life in Alaska. "Thanks for the memories"
You didn't misspell it. I watched his build in Minnesota on PTV with my children. I still get calls from them and they were watching Dick with their families.
This is legitimately my favorite channel on UA-cam and that’s not hyperbole. Thanks for sharing your journey, this knowledge is so invaluable.
Me too!!
Burley was an adorable puppy. Now he's a gorgeous dog. Fy Nyth is still looking good.
Ive been watching for years and never realized you got the idea from that article about the boy who built his tiny house in the back yard. I remember that article and was like what a neat idea!
Yes I remember that kid too! Wonder what he’s been up to since.
Ariel you are just a precious human being. My heart melts for you and your Clay ☺️ may you be blessed with many years full of happiness, projects and good health. You have no idea how your videos lift us up, gives us hope in humankind, laughter with your fur babies and watered mouth with your cooking 😁
Wish you and Clay all the best in the world. "My husband and I" sounds so right!
A hug across the ocean
Wow. Congrats on your journey and life with Clay. Did I miss what happened to the property you were planning on going to in Oregon or Washington ? You once showed us a small glimpse of it and the overgrowth by the creek. Cheers to Burley too. 🤙🍁
I can't remember how many years it's been since Fy Nyth and I collided, I believe at least 3 or 4 and I've loved every minute of it. My husband (now deceased) and I built a small house in the rural south in 1986. We had help with the cinder block piers, the trusses and the electrical wiring, the rest we did ourselves. The county in the state we were building in had lots and lots of rules about what a builder could and couldn't do. Having an off grid tiny house would have been a great option for us but wasn't an option in 1986. We cut trees off of our 3+ acres, had chickens, guinea fowl, and a little garden. I was fortunate because my Mom and Dad gave us the land, carved off from their land. After a few years we ended up moving back to Arizona 🙂
Happy Anniversary! I've watched you from the start, interesting, informative, sadness too and I'm glad you let us all go on the journey with you.

Your description of your relationship with Clay speaks of 'Mutualism and Reciprocity' two of the most important ingredients for a genuine love based relationship. Seeing this makes me happy for you both.
I almost feel the need to start singing Auld Lang Syne. Many more happy years on the new property and with all your dreams realized!
You are an amazing person and i learned so much from you from caning to gardening ,cooking the list goes on keep up all you do you and Clay
I'm currently working on the work/save part of my journey. I want to buy my own property with either raw land or an old rundown house that I can fix up. Unfortunately, my husband isn't interested in losing his conveniences so I'll probably be making my journey on my own. But it will be well worth it to not have a mortgage hanging over my head and the freedom to spend my time the way I want instead of being stuck in the grind.
Burley really adores you! Congrats on it all.
You are such a blessing to us all! Thank you for sharing your life with us. It is wonderful that Clay is your partner and you guys have goals together to do. Can’t wait for what is next.
Beautiful picture of you and Clay🙌🏻😊🥰😃🎉🤩❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Oh, it'll be nice to have a tiny [guest] house when family comes to visit. They'll never want to leave. Hahahaha...
I just bought my tiny house My brother has let me put it on his property. I love that I was able to buy it outright. I got my from Incredible tiny homes in Newport Tenn. I feel blessed that I now am able to retire & relax .

That is amazing! Congratulations on YOUR new adventure!
I have enjoyed following your life adventure over the past 5 or 6 years. I look forward to watching the two of you in this new chapter.

Love your life story. Excited to watch all developments. You and Clay finding each other is a great blessing.
Would love it if you guys could vlog you house build and share with us 🤗
Ariel you also were my inspiration for tiny life. I now have my tiny house and I am on my 4th month. I absolutely love it. I am so glad I found your channel all those years ago. I am so happy for you. It seems your life is doing great. I am so glad you came back to UA-cam, I am a big fan of yours
😲 I can't believe I have been following your journey that long! I remembered the interior before you painted it!
You have enjoyed this year twice, is all. Being married and all the new homesteading makes you twice as happy!!! I have dreamed of a tiny home 20 years but will be happy to see so many others have them now. Like youI have lived in my car, travel and tent camped and mostly just wanna be outdoors.

Congratulations Ariel! I enjoy following your life adventure. You and Clay are perfect for each other. Looking forward to many more videos😊
Thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you until I am in a position to be able to downsize into my own tiny.
Hey, I read the same article. It's actually on UA-cam!!!
Where? Can you post a link?
You grow, that's the plan of being here. Love to see you for a long time chatting away about your life and thoughts. Hope to see many more.
I have really enjoyed watching all of your adventures over the years. Your tiny house has really served you well. Very excited to watch all the new teaching moments and adventures with Clay and the animals!
💕You could use your tiny house as a food & preserving storage area or a craft area you could make soap & use it as your soap workshop💕
You are a vibrant rainbow and a bushel of roses!, and have helped me through life immensely watching your videos. You are truly an amazing woman and look forward to all your endeavors life will bring . God Bless You and Clay !
Beautiful reflection and words of wisdom from a wise woman.❤️❤️
CONGRATULATIONS! 👍🇨🇦📷😎🌲🐾🐓💜
Lucky are those that find themselves at a young age.
Congrats Ariel!! Really enjoy following ur (and now Clay's) journey! I luv seeing Burley in ur videos!! Such a sweet boy!
Hi Ariel I've been subscribed to your channel since 2013. My husband and I love your content.
We can't believe it's been 8 years. Wow time sure flies.
Ariel, I have so enjoyed sharing this time with you, watching your situation evolve. I think you are a wonderful inspiration and articulate speaker for those who need to get their lives in wise order. Your parents most be so pleased. I have three daughters, in their late 30s, early 40s, and your are our hero. Thank you for sharing how Fy Nyth has helped you get your financial life in order. IMHO this has been extraordinary. Big congratulations to Clay. Hugs to you all. Texas
Congratulations Ariel, I'm really glad I found your channel, it's one of my favourite UA-cam channels. You've inspired me a lot as a single woman to see how you survived and thrived living alone in your tiny house. I look forward to seeing what you, Clay and your furbabies do next on your life adventure.
Congratulations! Many years and blessings to come!!!!!
Time well spent and invested wisely👍
Ariel, congratulations on your milestone! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I made your cranberry/citrus salad and it was a HUGE success at my family dinner yesterday👏👏👏👏 I am in the beginning stages of planning my retirement space which will be not really tiny by very small (900sqft). I am very excited and your videos are so helpful and illuminating. Thanks so much 🙏
I have been following since finding your channel this past spring. Great to see all the progress and love all the critters you have now.
I wish I could live in a tiny house (too late now). Much better then an apartment. You have done amazing with your home . Look forward to seeing what your next abode will be with your new partner. Perhaps you would rent your tiny house when no longer needed.....Hint. Hint😉
Words of wisdom. Be well, Ariel!
Good idea about a house with root cellar. But your tiny house is such a great option for young people or for those retiring and down seizing. Life takes effort too be happy !

Happy anniversary! This is such a great testimony regarding so many things. I am so happy for you and for you and Clay. I am looking forward to following you and your new homesteads transformation. Take care!
You are extremely courageous. I have been following you all along.
We used to live in Cody. Can’t wait to move back. Thank you for your videos. We hope to homestead there.
Congratulations to the 7th anniversary. I hope you get lucky and can spend many more years at your new place with Clay. Even if all of your years is not in a tiny house. And good luck with the future build of a new house - if or when it happen
IT'S very Nice ❣️ 🤗 Thanks
Wise words , congratulations on your anniversary

Congrats and thank you for all the wonderful videos you've posted over the last 7 years. I'm looking forward to watching the building process of your future "small" house and wondered if you've come up with any design ideas for the house yet.
She did say that they would have another composting toilet!🐧❄
Ariel, it was great to hear from you on the 8th anniversary of Fy Nyth. I have enjoyed your videos so much,, and I feel as if I know you. You have built a life that suits you, and I think it's a fine gift you have given yourself. You are a strong and wise woman. Keep on keepin on. My best to Clay, Burley, Velcro, your ducks, your chickens and the occasional cattle that wander by.
Congrats- may the 9th year bring you both joy and happiness
Congrads on 8 years in your sweet spot ,so glad to be enjoying your videos again ,glad you and Clay are enjoying your new spot also your new furry friends ,may year 9 bring you more happiness . 🐈🐕🐔 From Canada 🇨🇦
Once you build the new home you can turn the tiny house in to an air bnb. Happy thanksgiving ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing. Something to think about with your new house is having an utility's room. We had one growing up. They are so useful. The washer &dryer , freezer, 2 big utility sinks, door to the wood shed and s gas stove for canning were in there along with places for boots and coats etc. I miss not having one now.
We just moved onto our property Nov 1 st and we're living in our 32 ft RV , and will be living in it until we get a manufactured home put on the property. We have a well, electric and septic already on the land so it's definitely nice to have that....our RV isn't all seasons so before I left my home town I started insulating the roof ,I'm glad I did cause I run 3 electric heaters on low in three different zones of the rv and that keeps us warm down to 22 degrees. We have chickens and rabbits seeing that we're working on being a farmstead...good luck with you and your hubby on your new property!
Happy anniversary! Thanks for taking us along.
How time flies.. I have been watching since you moved into the tiny house. Thank you for sharing!
Love your style grin when it building every thing glad you have you house which is lovely well done. Now you you have your own land you can build the root cellar! ¡!
Congratulations on your 8th tiny house anniversary! I so enjoy your videos. You have the heart of a teacher and bring so much illumination to the tasks at hand. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world. 😊
Sadly even a small plot of land is very expensive in England and planning permission for even a tiny house is hard to get ... I love your videos and your photography btw, been watching on and off for a few years now
From UK also and have followed Ariel for years also and you are correct UK is bad news .
Having said that i follow Kris Harbour and he makes it work .
Happy Houseaversary :D Thank you for sharing all your beautiful photos and info on living in WY in a tiny house . It has all been so encouraging. Congratulations and Blessings to you and Clay. Looking forward to the next years journey
Always thoughtful and interesting, Ariel. Thx for taking us along with you! Btw did you ever find out what became of that orphaned baby moose that was hanging around your house?
I started watching you before you painted the exterior. Has it been so long? I was inspired and started accumulating tiny house stuff. I still have a stack of new windows, cute door knobs, etc. that I might now not ever use. Lol
I have five mostly grown kids, most of which moved back home to finish college so tiny just isn’t going to happen for me. But I like to live vicariously through you, as an alternative universe😁
Ariel, if you've never seen Little Mountain Ranch's videos, there's a lot of good info on root cellars in a cold climate. Good to see you and Burley warm & comfortable in Fy Nyth. Have you and Clay thought of a name for your new homestead?
You are amazing. A real inspiration to me. Thank you! 👍🌺
Enjoyed the video so much, very informational and interesting! Very nice picture of you and your hubby! :) So nice for you! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Congrats! You've a wonderful channel. I have no idea why I started watching you, but am glad I have. Must have been the Hair. Cheer's!
Love the tiny ,I love to watch your journey. I look forward to watching what you and Clay are doing.
I love watching Velcro , and Burley they are funny with their playing around.
I love your channel! Happy 8th anniversary and thank you for sharing!
I'm so glad it worked out for you ,life shore is not easy .but if you stick at it what joy god grants us .love to you both from England.🌠
Fantastic !
Good advice
Thanks for sharing your lifestyle! Is that bear by chance 399 with her cubs?
Best wishes on all your adventures!
Interesting!
I had heard of tiny houses back in 2009 and thought of building one but would not be able to tow it with my van.
Happy Anniversary! Thinking about "I wish I had..." I have done so many things that I wished I could do, some worked out, some did not, no regrets there. But I won't live long enough to do everything I wish I could do, so I might well make the statement "I wish I had... " But I would have had to give up something else to have made that happen. Choices!
