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.
Hey!!!! Jess is left handed!!!!!! Let’s gooooo, the whole 12% of us need to stick together 👍🤜🏼🤛🏽
I hope that Jessie was able to get a gob of sleep and is feeling a little more life flowing through her system. I think those dragon scales are going to be the bee's knees when you're done. Keep closing up those gaps because the wasps and various flying critters are going to be looking for a cool spot to hunker down.
Good idea. Cru is doing his job as an early warning system against tremors.
I love the Olympic sealer . Love the metal idea and the use of the cans. Ya’ll get gold stars for that idea!
If you don't cut all of the scales apart, it'll be simpler to attach, much like roofing shingles.
Was thinking same
Yes only the scallops needs to be cut and a bandsaw might be a help?
2" of closed-cell foam on the outside sprayed and stucco the outside then painted white will keep the inside of the house vastly cooler during the summer Open the windows at night and there will never be a need for air conditioning. That's what I do at my house.
You should be able to get more dragon scales out of your flashing by alternating them right side up and upside down before cutting them out
Very creative Jess! Always good when your guy can appreciate what you do. Door looks great Jim❤️✨
A backer strip on one of the domes door can help stop wind coming through the gap between the doors
I see where you are going, and I like it. How could you not like it design by Jess, and production by Jim, and most of all approval by, Cru. thank you all stay safe
Thanks for showing the laundry being pulled off the line! Need to go get mine! I’ll use the rest of the video as a reward for when I’m done!!
Always good to seal up the wood. Especially where y'all are, where wood can be baked into nothing lickety split. Keep up the good work, you two, and God bless!
I am so looking forward to seeing the dragon 🐉 scales on the dome. Thanks for sharing! 🌻👍🌻
Keep going Jess n Jim your Dome Home is a work of Art. 💚🥰
Ambitious!
Can't wait to see the dragon scales take shape my friends!
I swear, Arizona sunrises are the best, but Colorado sunsets are just as awesome!
I gotta say this channel is so inspiring. I can't enphasize this enough.
Cru has the whole full body relaxation thing down pat.
It’s evident that the building is the best for the conditions of the desert.Your artistic hand is showcased in it.We await the day when you customize it for residence demonstrating the it’s advantages
Can't wait to see that tin up, Crew man looks so peaceful! Jess looks like she's feeling better , grrreat job cutting that tin Jess . Jim fantastic job mudding looks superb !
Man, that dog knows how to relax.
Cool, dragon scales. Can't wait to see!
Love seeing materials being reused. Great video guys and have a wonderful weekend 😀
Now that is great. I’m looking forward to finished product
Since the doors open inward, you could make about a 2" flap of felt, or something stiff and cloth-like, stapled to the outside of the door frame, all the way around, to cover the gap between the doors and the frame when they're closed.
Jim don't mess with Jess, y'all need all the rocks you can find for lots of things. LOL
Good job on the shingles!!! Keep up the good work.
Looking good folks. Stay safe my friends.
Thank you CB! We hope you're doing well.
The metal scales as you call them are going to look great. Making the dome look a little Medieval Times looking. I just love the dome. If I were only young and had the right person with me. Too cool.
as a temporary seal for the door... Take a fun noodle (sliced down one side) or pipe insulation, and slip it onto the edges of the door. Paint it and it will last a long time even in the sun.
Wonderful to see all your shares today♡
Jim I admire your energy and work ethic. And I think Jess is so creative. THE ONE PROBLEM is . I don't think there is any chance to get Crew involved or interested in doing any work. I think he completely happy and content doing nothing but watching.
Please consider a smooth edge or safety can opener.
If you have to cobb on your own again, maybe make double or triple batches of cobb instead? If it starts drying out before you're done, just add a little more water. Probably pretty heavy to haul around, but still probably easier than having to constantly shift gears back and forth like this, too.
Anyway, doorway's looking good, and I'm really excited about the scientific approach to measuring the temperatures in the dome. :D
I hope you 3 will be move in your great home .
Well done guys it is coming along so nicely ❤️❤️
Love the art from rocks and cans and other stuff.. house will be very uniquely yours. Plus.. if you don't like it later you can always change it..
You ought to try some poor man fiber glass on some of that sombrero and a little on the cob and test it for wear, might prove usefull if it wears well.
800 scales? Daunting. Sometimes I finish hanging the laundry and then take some down because it's already dry.
On the inside of your double doors light was shining through the crack. To help with that, put a 2” x 1/2” length wise of the inside door. Ya, permanently attached to one door. It’s easier for me to draw it out than explain it, but I hope you get the jest of it. It will also keep more cool temperatures in the house.
Very cool. Can't wait to see how it turns out
You have to do 800 of those?! That's gonna be tedious! Good luck, Jess!
I don't know how much you pay for your linseed oil but we have been using "vegetable oil" from Walmart at about 9 dollars a gallon. It's actually soybean oil. It works really well when we add a golf ball sized glob of wax to every quart and set it in the Arizona sun to melt in, that really makes it bead water.
Move the trailer next to the dome. Hook up some 12 to 18" ducting and a fan and suck cool air into the trailer.
flashing should go around the building wall itself as a angle edge between the flat roof and the wall. then you can add plastic cement tar to stick the flashing to the wall with also a webbing material which would seal up any holes and stick to the wall and flat roof and flashing with the plastic cement tar.
Yay!
He is working super hard being a good boy
You are bringing the flashing up to another level. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. Looks like fun.
Getting there guys. Amazing so far.
Looks good Brother 😁🍻🇺🇸
Anxious to see what the shingles will look like!!
I love, love, love the temperature difference inside the dome compared to outside. I hope that’s a foretaste of what it’slike in the summer for you
nice to see more sandbags being covered!
Wait till you do the inside and do all the plaster work .... 10 degrees cooler 😁🍻
Buy that girl a garden sieve!
Beautuful photography!
That’s going to be so cool! Can’t wait to see. ❤️👍🥰
So creative!
Make sure prime paint the metal before put paint layer ore it just flake off. You might need lightly sand metal so primer can hold to it
The finishing of is looking good
Goodmorning you two
Diesel and used motor oil is amazing on wood.
Love the dome
I have a feeling those will blow off in the wind unless you revit and glue them?
3:10-3:24
I know I can't be the only one who thought this was hilarious!
Raking rocks 🤣🤣
When are you starting on the inside of the dome?????
Loving ❤️ your hard work man 👨. Keep going
This is exciting y'all.
Peaple used cans for sideing when metals were used for the wars
Looking awesome! 👏
Love it keep up the good work love the artwork.
🤔👌
You can get more scales out if you flip-flop cut them…kinda hard to explain, like /\\//\\//\
This way that way is how we alway refer to alternating
You guys are trend setters all my neighbors in the city are cobbing, doing Jess windows and now putting dragon scales on their treak homes. One guy has filled in his pool and now building a dome house in his backyard for grandma to stay in. Woop woop !
My friends made a dome home in ny with tire shingles .. it had lots of bees nests but other than that it only leeked a little and needed lots of maintence .
Looks really cool
Goodjob guys👍
It is looking so amazing 💕
I guess I am too pragmatic, but I keep hoping that you concentrate more on finishing up the cob work inside and out more so than decorative touches. Will you be starting on that soon?
I’m with you but getting the outside watertight and protected is priority before inside so leaks don’t damage what does get done in there.
Awesome shirt, dude.
New sub I'm enjoying binge watching old videos
Welcome!!
Love the dragon scale concept. Jess is quite creative.
this is like going back to medival days
Awesome job you two.
should look cool . hope it holds up . if you paint them tin cans remember rust oleum paint . tin cans rust . unless thats what your looking for .
Can you fold that flashing so you can cut more then one dragon scale at a time? Like you'd do with paper dolls?
❤️❤️❤️
🌵💚💚
Buy more aluminum flashing to cut the dragon scales out of! Those tin cans are gonna rust! Besides cutting those cans open is too labor intensive!
And making them flat and you might see a slight ripple with the different thickness
😊❤🤗👍
@green dream project Ferrocement was always a joke. aerocrete was (IS)the way. turns out its bondable to the ferrocrete.
Would a bandsaw make cutting out the scales easier and faster
When you are living in the dome, your body heat will make it warmer.
I still dont understand the eaves can we get a composition or animation for further explanation please
It’s like Uncle Ben’s moisture farm on tatooine
Crew will start working when you stop yapping and that tin can. You know rosarita knows a better way!
You could probably cut 10 at a time by folding the flashing first
Or clamping together and using a bandsaw on the scallop edge only and make strips like paper dolls
You guys do great work!
That grinder will reduce your digits
Lazy rocks just laying around 😂😂
