It's Worth It
США
Добавлен 3 авг 2020
We're a family of 8, with 3 dogs and a cat sacrificing everything to chase a dream. We've been led and carried by God, and our story is unfolding in His time. We spent years stressed with little quality family time while daddy busted out 60-70 hr weeks working for the man. Lost a job of 15 yrs, and instead of reshackling to the workforce...we sold a home we spent 7 yrs customizing and making our own in order to start this new journey. We know that family is far more important than the security of a steady paycheck. We want to show our kids that the things worth having in this life don't come easy. We want to show them how to work, and the fruits of those labors. We are building our dreams into reality. We are creating a legacy and foundation of the importance of family, faith in God, and trust in His plan and timing. We hope that our story will inspire you to follow your dreams, and fight for what is right for you and yours. It's not all easy, BUT it's SO worth it!
How To: Custom Self Cleaning/Venting Cat Bathroom!
A few months back we did added a custom cat bathroom to our RV. It is completely contained, it self cleans, and self vents and has changed our lives! It has an app so we can track when and how frequent cats are using the litter box. Even if we’re out running errands or out of town and we want to clean the litter box we can, at the touch of a button on our phones. Here is the link to the cat genie we ordered from Amazon CatGenie A.I. Self-Cleaning, Fully-Flushing, Self-Scooping, Automatic Cat Box, Small (Latest Model) a.co/d/e6gfaEB

DIY: How We Built The Ultimate Chicken Coop!
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
We were ready to grow our flock and needed a bigger and better coop situation. Ingrid had slapped together a temporary fix a few years ago when we inherited some chickens and materials. This is a completely custom design. We needed more space, and Jeff was able to also make it easier to access eggs, and bring ease to the dirty process of cleaning up after a large flock of birds. We love our fre...

The kids wanted to plant a garden as one of their Summer activities. We're starting off small, and doing an experiment of sorts.

DIY: Old Tire Stepping Stones
Просмотров 7822 года назад
These kids have endless energy, and can always use another thing to climb on or spur their imagination. When a friend had some old tires sitting around that they needed to get rid of, I saw an opportunity for some family fun! We buried theses tires upright for some obstacle style stepping stones. Free projects are my favorite kind. Got a little sweaty, and dirty, but IT'S WORTH IT to see these ...

We needed to label our property. People either can’t find us, or mistake us for other properties up here on the mesa. This was a quick, easy, and super cheap solution. Materials needed: old pallet, number stencil, wood burner, and screws. We love how it turned out, and people can find us easier

DIY In-Ground Trampoline: On A Budget

We searched for months for a trampoline that met our specifications….. we gave up looking and a few months later saw an ad for just what we wanted at a killer deal. We bought this 10’x 17’ trampoline from Upper Bounce. We like to bury our trampolines. It makes it easier for smaller kids to access, and you don’t have to worry about a gust of wind carrying away. Not to mention it’s just more esth...

HOW TO: DIY Replace RV Mushroom Roof Vent
Просмотров 7 тыс.2 года назад
Our Mushroom roof vents were original to our rig, and they were SO sad and broken. They weren’t actually doing their job at all. The punch out holes in the roof for the vents were actually still in tact. The sealant was badly cracked. It wasn’t until we got to removing them that we saw the screws were done at an angle (not even in the meat of the roof) because the assembly line workers were too...

The original fan in our bathroom was tiny and was doing a terrible job of ventilating. We wanted something that could efficiently pull air up and out. We show you step by step what you need to do to replace/install a new RV Vent Fan. For this project we used a drill, table saw, drywall knife, lacquer thinner w/rag, butyl tape, and lap sealant.

Rifle Falls: Perfect Hike For Young KIDS

We were able to get in some outdoor family fun. We found a super short easy hike for the younger kids that Jeff could swing with his sciatic issues. There are plenty of little caves to explore along the way and the rewarding falls! We grabbed a snack to refuel before heading over to the fish hatchery where the kids got to feed the rainbow trout and we got to watch a golden eagle chow down on so...

When you want to listen to how much noise the new fan makes loud music is playing so you cant hear the fan !!!!!
Very well documented and good thorough work! Thank yall so much!
6 kids? Jesus christ..
Yup! Our preferred chaos:)
Nice job great video Thanks 👍
How is the water level on washer
Will that fit in a Skoolie?
No dicor to seal the new vent to the roof?
6 kids and pets😳ain't no way😅
I think my slide is the opposite. Seems the bottom is out a little farther. Idk my slide won't come out now. Hydraulic seem to be full the motor is working. But it stopped coming out. I got it out about 6in now it won't do anything.
Hi, can you share what size are the table and the chairs? I would like to build one in my camper
How's your laundry center holding up? Any issues after 3yrs?
Wonderfully:) As you can imagine we do AT LEAST one load of laundry daily 🤪
@@itsworthit5029 Thanks for responding so quick. Can you fit a full size padded mattress cover in it?
Nice explanation. Thank u
HOPE YOU FOUND A BETTER WAY TO DO THAT.
Great informative install. Now I can tackle the same issue on my Toy Hauler.
fantastic job
Exactly what I needed thank you! Great job!
Super interesting! Loving this. Such dedication ❤ the mealworms freak me out and you holding it so calmly. I admire this. Thanks for sharing!!
Wow, very nice job sir.
what was that kid saying at 14:30 ?? to me it sounded like he was calling someone a D***head 😂😂😂
What a FIRE HAZARD and a MOUSE HEAVEN.
Assuming this will work with the opposite? Where the top touches first and the bottom sticks out?
Love this video but the music is so annoying and repetitive. I don’t understand why everyone on RUclips feels the need to fill every second of video with noise.
So this has to be installed as your laying not after
Jeff is n amazing carpenter… I am a diy guy and consider myself doing quality work… his is way better. Crazy attention to detail
Thank you I’ll be doing this soon on our fifth wheel. Thank you Awesome video
Could provide a link for the telescoping table base. Thank you
We bought this but paid less than it’s listed for here and we got it in black… autoplicity.com/9066042-springfield-marine-1660230-ped-3-stage-table
thank you@@itsworthit5029
Can u share where u found affordable foam for this? Absolutely beautiful job. We just bot an rv to flip, not only completely need of makeover but also repair from water damage. It came with table n chairs. So we r adding a dinette like urs, 6.6 feet, no cushions at all yet. Thanks in advance for ur advice.
Sounds like a fun project:) We got foam from Home Depot and doubled it up. www.homedepot.com/p/FUTURE-FOAM-3-in-Thick-Multi-Purpose-Foam-10030BULK3/203837114
Hope your hay doesn’t catch on fire
It never did, we actually removed it a year ago and built a permanent skirting this fall.
I would be really thankful for a feedback on the telescopic leg, does it wabble? And what brand is it.. I am copying your layout
It’s this base, but black, and it works much better on a lighter, more balanced table (like a square or a circle). This base works, BUT because our table extends so far out on the two sides, it teeters A LOT from kids leaning on it while in use. It slowly kinda rocks intake down in height because of all the leverage it has on the long sides. If you are doing a longer table like ours you may want to use 2 table legs . That would definitely stabilize it. boatplicity.com/9066042-springfield-marine-1660230-ped-3-stage-table
@@itsworthit5029 thanks a lot for prompt reply. This was my fear about the leg after reading dozens of reviews..I will probably go with 2 legs but this will limit the ability of making drawers like yours . I think I will just make them to open from the top.. I will try to integrate a chess board as well, such a great idea.. thanks for inspiring, you have a beautiful family.
I'm looking to do something similar here in AZ... Been drawing my designs up. Mine needs more windows tho... gonna burry it with on long side face out above grade maybe...
*No real man would EVER allow his wife or daughter to go out naked in public.* #Shameful
Look good, great job!
I have to give this guy credit for trying and being a good leader with his wife. On a pro level this is defiantly not the best way to do it. I wonder if the container even has a solid foundation under it or a French drain system? I'm sure looking back on it they probably should have used and ICF system. Hopefully they figured it all out. They do get an A for effort.
Precious!
I know this is a older video but do you know where you got your table support at?
Great video. How is it 2 years later?
It is a workhorse!! We live in our 5th wheel fulltime, so it gets a lot of use. It has been a great investment for us:)
@@itsworthit5029 Thanks so much for responding. We live in ours full time too. 🙏
You are so lucky with a husband with a focus on perfection and skills
Love your channel, we're actually gearing up to do just what y'all are doing, only up in the NW! People call us crazy (we are 7 in total) and tell us we've lost our minds, but we are in a mission as a family with a dream in sight ❤️
Love that! Good for you guys. Not everyone is going to understand, and perhaps this life isn’t for everyone. It was right for us, we stuck by that, and believe that it is and will be worth it!!
Amen!!
Thanks for the video! I now know how to fix my slider, it's nearly 2 inches off on one end 1 inch in the other end. I think I can do it myself!
Awesome!! Let us know how that works out. Thanks for watching:)
I am 55 from a family of 8 kids and couldn't imagine being from a small family. Amazing memories from childhood camping and traveling packed into a station wagon pulling a pop-up camper. You look like an amazing family. Also, very impressive design, sewing, and woodworking skills. You should be proud!
Thank you! Thanks for sharing your awesome story, and for watching:)
1:55 i had to rewind to be sure i actually saw a cat trying to do some work hahah
What paint color was that it looks fantastic?
Behr’s Garden Twilight:) We love it, and have used it on a couple projects now.
I have an extra trailer and would love to do something like this. Would you be willing to share how you were able to design this or possibly the designs you used?
Yeah you put dirt over 1/8in thick steel with no center supports 🤣🤦♂️
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Nice family, but I sure hope this container didn’t collapse over time. There are a lot of things that weren’t done correctly for this one and I just don’t see it holding up for long. It can be dangerous when the sides and too aren’t not properly braced and supported.
It has held up beautifully:)
@@itsworthit5029 oh that’s great to hear
Needed to lay telephone poles across the top before filling with dirt and applying weight. With the telephone poles laying across the top u could drive a tank over it
Not a bad idea.
With all that concrete, you could have just shotcrete the side of a hole, poured a roof and had twice the space.
This guy is SUPERMAN !
He really is! Funny tidbit, he has been Superman in my contacts since we started dating back in 07/08 🤣 Thanks for watching:)
🫀thanks for shearing that 🫀I watched the video twice and I couldn’t stop thinking about your big support during all this process….taking care of such a beautiful FAMILIA ! Just a Superman that fits perfectly with a SuperHero! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This guy is literally the world’s greatest dad ! Your work and determination is incredible and inspiring! Thank you. Great video
Yeah I was thinking that too... what loving father to include his kids in the work and teach them, trust them and protect them from the job hazards too... Bless you, pops.
