We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who made the leap from city life to an off-grid homestead in Southern Arizona. We've started this lifestyle equipped only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
We’d like to share our journey of starting a sustainable homestead from scratch with all its ups, downs, and lessons learned. Watch us take on the challenge of modern homesteading, off-grid life, and turning this barren piece of land into a desert oasis.

I live in a cob house in the UK, where we get a lot of rain (in case you didn’t know that already!), a lot of wind and fairly large variations in temperature. It was built around 1670, making it 350 years old. That’s testament to cobs resilience, I think your dome will be just fine! Great work guys, I’ve really enjoyed watching the build so far, you’re an inspiration 👊
Dirt yurt!
We would love a video of your house!
I was wondering if I could build one here in Wa state?
@@kathrynrodlun8514 East side or Western Washington? Do you know your % clay of your soil? A recent Mother Earth News had an article and plans for an earthbag root cellar, you could copy, to get some experience.
Mr. Woodrow, the age of your home must be a record! That is so much more than I thought such a home would last! You must have interesting stories to tell about it!
Congratulations!!!
What a major accomplishment. You guys are so inspiring!
I’m impressed how cheerful you stay on each video. You are just naturally pleasant and light hearted.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!What a tremendous achievement and example!Bravo Jessica and James.
Jim and Jess, congratulations!!! You're the proud parents of a DOME HOME !!! Now get some sparkling juice, wine, whatever you enjoy, and celebrate 🥂 your achievement! Tomorrow you can think about planning the next task. Whatever it is, we will be here to cheer you on!
Congratulations! I went back into your video history to see when you started the dome. Jan 12 your first row video was posted, so a little less than a year. A Year! What a tremendous amount of work! You two are awesome! Looking forward to more progress, exterior and interior finishes. Your positive attitude got me to subscribe way back and has kept me interested. 👍
I have been up since midnight. The winds are intense. Congrats on the completion of the dome. Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
The winds have been crazy here too
On the second dome maybe continue the 2x4 platforms in a spiral pattern from the bottom up.
Make it easier for the whole build.
Plus it would look so cool
I share a lot of joy with you guys because you're real people. Unvarnished and sweet as can be.
Wow! Yayyy! Green Dream Project! You guys have done it! Amazing and very interesting natural home you’ve built there! We are here for it! Congratulations!
For the mud man and the bag lady and the bone barring monster 🐕 dog looks fantastic !
I've followed this build for a long time now. Looking forward to next phase! l Great job you guys!!!
Seeing you two smiling was so great to see! Jess had a great Mt Everest pose!
Congratulations guys! You both Rock!!!!!!
Thank you for being an inspiration!🙏
The dome is done! The dome is done!!
Wow congratulations...looks amazing 🤩 so happy for you guys
Looking forward to you finishing windows and door and moving in. Great job, well done!
Fantastic ! All the Best on your future endeavors in 2022 fellow earthlings .
Dome Sweet Dome!!!!!
It's Domalicious Congratulations Green Dream Team. The Dynamic Duo Jess and Jim triumphant Bravo
You came you saw you conceived you believed you achieved. You dug you bagged you placed you tamped you barbed you cobbed course after course right to the top. It's monolithic. You're super terrific. One Dome down and one to go. Keep up your great great works. Be blessed. Glorious and Victorious. We love you all so so much. (& Crew too) :o)
Congratulations you 2. Good luck with your next build. God bless 2022
The two are tougher than the sandbags they stack. I am happy with them. I think the pyramids are only slightly higher than their earth house. I am sure that in 100 years it will be declared a World Heritage Site ... Congratulations, what a great place it will be!
What an amazing journey it's been. I've watched every single video of the build. You inspired me to go find land out your way and do the same. I need to get away from people. No one can be nice anymore.
Yes! Love to see it coming to a whole!
Sure, it has taken a while to finish this structure, but this is a very large dome! Doing a dome this big with just two people is a huge achievement and milestone. Congratulations!! I know you two will keep crushing it!
Thanks for all the great peeps into the process!
Amazing couple. Loved those big big smiles of success. Well done both of you. 👍🙏❤💚
I'm excited for y'all, congratulations on getting it mostly done. LOL always still more to be done.
soooo happy for you guys!
Congrats!! 🎉🎊 wow! I’ve been watching you for over a year and your work is a testament to your persistence and dedication!
I am so proud of you two! And the award for the sweetest couple goes to..
YOU!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
@Kathrinrodiun
Could not have said it better.
Can't wait to overcome my fears and start my own journey in this coming year. You have taught me sooo much!! Thank you 💖
Holy Smokes!!! Congratulations. What an accomplishment.
Wow..so incredible what you two have done. So amazing. Those winds are hitting up here today so I'm being forced to stay inside. Have a great weekend 😀
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏👑🎅🎅🎅
Wind and rain here in Mohave county the last few days.
Stay inside for wind???
Are you near Winslow AZ?
@@honthirty_ I'm about an hour and a half southeast of Winslow
@@ArizonaHighDesertHomestead St Johns or nearer Show Low? I spent 20 years up near Williams.
Congratulations 🎉, , this is just fantastic. Winds in the desert 🏜️ can be very strong. Very nice work. Now the inside.
What a beautiful site seeing the two of you sitting at the top of your build. Thee Amazing adventure continues, well done. The breath taking views inspiring imagination ahhh yesssss!
So happy for you both. Thanks for taking us along with you on this journey. What an achievement, well done to everyone involved but of course a big hug and round of applause to you both ❤️✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That is so amazing and awesome!!! We have truly enjoyed following y’all along on this journey. We are so proud and happy for the both of you.
Thank you!!
Well my anticipation was gifted the first thumbs up but y'all are the stars of this show congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Merry Christmas! this is like the best present ever, seeing you finish the dome and officially drying in! can't wait to see what y'all do next!
Why not a glass opening at the top? Flood the build with light?
@@volvoqueen9698 yeah, that would have been pretty neat. great idea imho
I'm not a COB devotee. Question? Would a stucco finishe, dyed to abode of course. Make the exterior water proof for twenty years? If this is environmental destruction I am clueless. Congrat on stubbornness in the best sense!
Congratulations. Construction usually takes longer and costs more than planned. Good Luck, Rick
When you were talking about the high winds, all I could think was that it must be nice to realize you'll be sleeping inside something that will stand through incredibly high winds in time for NEXT Christmas. So. Very. Cool.
CONGRATS!!
Congratulations to you both! A year of many ups and downs, but you kept on going, going forward. Here’s to 2022, and more wonderful journeys ahead! God bless you both….
You people are epic, well done!
Look forward to Saturday. Live feed today was really good. You are both so talented. I watch 3 different build shows. You are at the top of my list. Thank you for doing what you do. 🙂
BAM! Damn, it took a lot of watching to get that dome done, lol.
Well done 👍 Congratulations GDP! You two are so amazing 🤩
You guys are so inspiring! I'm so glad I found your channel years ago, GDP is my hero!
Congratulations love birds! You made your own first love nest. Best couple ever🤗
WOOHOO!! 👍👍❤❤🥳🥳 CONGRATS !! Y'al are amazing! I'm smiling with joy for y'all to have capped off your home. You have perserverd through so much and you kept going through it all. God bless! Looking forward to seeing what is next😉❤❤🙏
What an Awesome Accomplishment!!! NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats yall did a great job
Sincere congratulations on building the most solid and weatherproof house in north america I've ever seen (except Quebec). Your house will last for centuries and all those efforts and thinking out of the box will pay off sooner than you think.
What an amazing journey this has been!
The continuing adventures of Bucket Boy and Bag Lady! Woo Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Iam proud of you two well done that was a great way to end the year .
CONGRATULATIONS! Looking forward to the next phase.
YAY! 🥳 Congratulations on closing off the dome, it looks wonderful. Can’t wait to see what projects are next. Great use of ingenuity with the platforms, thinking outside the box is a great way to stay out of debt.
I've been watching since the start so happy your done with the outside !!!! Congrats !!! Can't wait to see the inside :) . Awesome Job Jim and Jess.
You finally got to close that dome in. Well done. You can now work on the inside whether it rains or not. Great accomplishment guys. You have persevere through a long journey.
HOORAY!!! It's DONE! Congratulations you two! 😃 ✨🎇 🎉 🎊 👍
Absolutely an amazing job guys . & it even looks very cool . Y’all work great together & can’t wait to see the future progress. I’d love to have an amazing bag lady like Jess . Lol not many chicks would work that hard & be so involved. I know I’ve built my last 2 houses . Standard stick & stucco . Woo hoo it’s pretty much sealed off . Curious about how it does with temp.compared to outside…
Congrats. I kept saying, “they need fireworks”. Smiled when you added them to the video!!!
So happy for y’all 👍🤜🤛
Congratulations!!!
You two are AWESOME!!!
Congrats guys! Merry Christmas! I'm so glad you guys let us join you on this journey. I can't wait for the next steps and to see how it'll be decorated
Awesome milestone for you two and crew! I think you should name it beldar?!🤣👍.
Kudoze guys!!! When you think about it less than a year for that big of a structure is pretty darned good. Maybe you can see how many bags it took. You both should be proud of yourselves. Crew too :-) Looking forward to the next phase. God bless.
Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, love you guys let's get it finished!
Congratulations GDP. Looking forward to see how this progresses and other projects you both tackle. Aloha.
BRILLIANT!!! Whoohoo!! Thanks for allowing us to follow your build. It's been amazing. Vertual hugs.
Congratulations!!!! Looking forward to the New Year and new projects, most on the inside!! Can't wait to see your windows and doors!! Curious to see how you finish off the skin of the dome!
Happy Christmas to you and all the fine folks that watch this channel.
It’s been a long journey but you did a great job. Way to go!
Wow, congratulations! Guinness book pizza oven, lol! Love that comment you made. You surprised me getting it done in a year and that's such a cool build
Wahoo...its an amazing job! Can't wait to see you two working on the inside! 😘
The dome is done!!! Congratulations!!
Congrats. A great milestone for you folks. Thanks for sharing your journey.
WOW! What an amazing journey! I watched it all. If I had not seen it with my own eyes there is no way you'd convince me that two determined people made that huge dome (with a little help from a few friends) all by themselves! That's incredible and very inspiring. "The bag lady" haha. Now I know what it takes to make a bag lady smile - A dirt digger and a dome!
Hey Merry Christmas you guys hope you guys have a good Christmas hey look like you guys finished it just be careful please we don't want to thing to happen to anybody but you guys have a great Christmas be careful please
This has been an adventure of a lifetime for you two! It's sure been unique to observe. So often I have wanted to do SOMETHING to help you & encourage you. You kept working steadily. Y'all have to be so elated to be done with this stage of the process! 🎆🎇🎆
Watching and commenting is an incredible support. Thank you!
Amazing, what a year you both had while this build took place and you persevered through it all. You folks are moving mountains over there in Arizona.
You two are beautiful people. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives.
Wow totally amazing to watch this through to capping off the dome. Jes you deserve the builder of the year award for sure. Congratulations to both of you.
Jess and Jim Congratulations with the HOUSE 💐👍
Just amazing what you two have done and achieved 👍👍
Your dome grew, your audience grew, we all grew to like you two a lot. You look like Anne Geddes elves in the nap photo, very professional.
Bloody awesome. I’ve been watching since just before the cistern dig out. You both have been an absolute inspiration. Working like troopers through all kinds of weather with ups and downs along the way🍺🍺
Congrats on toping out the dome home. Now the work begins to make it livable. You should be proud of all your hard work.
I feel your joy. Congratulations!!! Y'all are inspiring, determined, resilient and beautiful. You so deserve this.
That first dome turned out Beutiful, great job you 2.
I enjoyed watching this project from beginning to this point.
Thank you for sharing and as always keep building👍
Thank you Todd!
I’m impressed. Looking forward for the next and finishing of the inside. Congrats
I love the drone footage of Jess on top of her castle ❤️
you guys are so brave. im happy that I was able to witness such a great accomplishment. love you guys
Creative thinking is the hallmark of artists. You’ve done a great job! Congratulations!
Congrats on topping off the dome. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Congratulations you two. You make the perfect team and we ALL are so proud of you for sticking with it to the end. Yeah, you can make Ginormous pizza's in there. yummy
Done with the outside before New Years Eve! Very impressive in light of the weather delays and such.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Awesome job! You guys should definitely write a book documenting your dome build, it would be a best seller! 😀
What an epic journey! I started watching when you were still building your long roof over your present living quarters and I have enjoyed every one of those episodes. You are so clever and brave, two feet off the ground and I’d be a wreck! You should feel sooo proud. So very well done😄👍
Great to see the progress and excited for what's coming...👍💚👍🌵👍
Congratulations on the dome closer. It always amazes me what perseverance the problems, problem solving, and just plain hard work can accomplish. It is easy to work on projects when your are motivated, warm not hot in a slight breeze not wind, have energy to match enthusiasm.
But when some to all of those are in shore supply plus the weather doesn’t cooperate that when you find out what you are made of and what can be accomplished. Bravo 👏🏼.
Now on to next project! 😉👍😁😎
O.
M.
G!!!!! Well done y'all! It's beautiful! Now lets start the next project!!🤣 Let's start on the inside! Can't wait.
What an achievement! Very impressive. Question: what are those wires hanging outside the wall for? You probably already explained and I missed it.
I believe they thinking to tie with that wires hay packs as roof cover...
I think it's great idea just not sure how big project it is... they have so much ever changing curvature to follow on there... maybe full hand of long straws tied in bundles...
