A Thousand Generations Offgrid Homestead
США
Добавлен 1 авг 2022
Can a Firefighter and a stay at home Mom carve out an Off Grid Homestead in the North Idaho Wilderness? Come along on our journey towards freedom and independence not just for us but many Generations to come, all to the Glory of God.
Over the last two summers we have cleared trees off our homesite, built a pole barn, installed a septic system, dug a shallow well and installed all the underground utilities.
We are entering build season number 3 this year (2024) and are excited for the ambitious plan to have our home dried in before winter. We are happy that you are following along.

Stem wall to Subfloor
We were blessed yet again by a wonderful work crew who spent 8 days camping on the homestead getting us one step closer to being dried in before winter. In this video we build from the concrete stem wall to the finished subfloor.

Will the Forms Hold?

During some of the hottest days this year we jumped back into the trenches to form up and pour the Concrete foundation stem walls for our home. Evan and Madelyn were a huge help on these days that tested our will to continue. Just when we thought we were unable to continue Amy's Sister and her family came for the last 4 days of their vacation to give us much needed help. In the end we placed 15...

During some of the hottest days this year we jumped back into the trenches to form up and pour the foundation footings for our home. Evan and Madelyn were a huge help on these days that tested our will to continue. In the end we placed 12 yards of concrete in the trench with the help of a concrete line pump.

Sneak Peek as to why no video this week

I finally have a moment to sit down and edit a video, this isn't what I wanted to get out today because we want to show you all that we have done in the last few weeks and days. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of building getting us ready for our truss delivery. We were joined by a large group of family and friends the last 2 weeks, their help was a huge blessing that came just as we w...

We have been living on the Homestead full time for just over a month now and we have made a lot of progress towards having our house dried in by winter. In this video we show you some of the other projects we have fit in that didn't make it into our other videos. First we needed to install a level sensor in our cistern so we can monitor how much water we have left. WE fixed a drainage problem b...

Three Foundations at once?

In this video we maximize our time with the excavator by digging the foundations for three separate homes. Evan and Madelyn jump right into the trenches to take on the jobs that once were Amy's all by herself. All of this is so much easier with the family working together.

Two of our three kids, Evan and Madelyn, have moved to the homestead with us, currently they share the small apartment in the shop. (bedrooms separated by plywood) They are obviously looking forward to a home of their own. They both have saved their money so they can each build a house debt free on the homestead. This video shows us working as a family to install all the underground utilities a...

No washers on anchor bolts is a fail.
Our anchor bolts did not arrive with washers, however we did install washers prior to the bottom plate install that just ended up on the editing room floor😄 thank you for your concern
Mag float attracts water to the surface.
First time viewer, was amazed at all your hard work, really found it interesting, you have caring family friends and neighbours such a blessing. I watched all the vids,fantastic to see your vision come to life.
Welcome! Thank you ☺️
Family and friends and new neighbors are awesome. 1st time I seen floor painted.
They are! We painted the floor with porch paint to help protect it
They sure are. We didn’t want to splurge for the waterproof advantek subfloor so we panted regular osb subfloor with porch paint
Great video
Thanks!☺️
I'm shocked there are not 10, 20, 30x's the subscribers to your channel. It's very informative, interesting and well produced. Enjoyed this episode.
Wow, thank you!
oh whats the difference between the the blue/green edge sheets,,,,,,
The lumber yard sent us wood from different mills
hi why dident you build the stem walls like ladders then lift them on,,,your lumber looks really good in straight,,,💯💪💪👀👀
By installing each stud one at a time we were able to adjust the height within a 1/8” so our floor will be level. In the video you may have seen us checking our stem wall with the laser. That way we knew how much to adjust each stem wall studs.
Terrific video 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Wow, big job, and you guys rocked it.
Thank you 😊
What s great team work , so nice to see neighbors helped
Thank you, we had such a great time all working together
Great job as usual

We are constantly amazed when we step back and remember that in June there was only the power house in that area.
everything will come together since boss lady ms. amy is on the job! it is a tough job keeping everybody straight but some one has to do it! crack your whip, maam!!!!........g
Awesome crew of family friends and neighbors…Congrats on a huge amount of work done !
Thank you!
That was a great work day
Yes it was
What a lot of progress. Looking forward for the remainder. Enjoy your channel.
Thank you!
You all deserved a few beers after that!!!!!!
That’s for sure
The original songs add so much to the joy of watching your videos. You’re doing an unbelievable job building your home. ❤
We’ve had a lot of fun creating the songs
You built a fantastic forms for the walls 👍.
Thank you so much 😀
Impressive work guys. 👏👏👏👏. Excellent video looking forward to seeing the next steps
Thank you! 👍
It great the family is they to help.
We really do have amazing family that was willing to pitch in and help
one of my favourite vids so far many hands make light work,,,,awesome work 🤟🤟💪💪
Wow, thanks!
do you have a framing crew who will do all the structure and roof before the snow flies ?
It’s us, we’re the framing crew. 😂 We actually had an amazing group of friends that came to help us frame. Many hands definitely made lighter work. Stay tuned for that video
I’m enjoying watching your channel weekly and exciting to see your new project . Great work 👍
Thanks so much!
It's impressive that you have the knowledge to do all this. You do a great job explaining each step too. Enjoy each episode!!
Thank you very much!
Nice stem wall forms, Uncle Terry approved!!!❤
That is high praise coming from you 😊 thank you
Seeing this and being there all those days of your helpers build the building the unseen work is amazing 👏 love you
Thank you, we definitely are thankful for all the hands that helped. Love you too
Great job Stewie!
Thanks, I miss you
I know that it has been a long journey to this point, but keep pressing on. So much of the hard, tedious stuff including this stem wall is not what people will see once you’re finished, but it will be the reason everything works. They will see the house and how beautiful it is, but you’ll have the satisfaction in knowing that you have a strong foundation, a water and septic system in place and solar ready to run this homestead. Oh, where did you get the concrete song? Too cute.
Thank you for the encouragement. As for the concrete song, we have been having fun with an app that writes music. I’m glad you liked it
Looking good
Thanks 👍
🇳🇴👍👍🥇
Thanks!
love the build!!!
Thank you ☺️
Looking great!!! 🙌🏽
Thank you!!
I can’t wait to see you start the polls and walls , great channel ,

Nice job a lot of hard work but your family is doing a fantastic job
Thank you!
Beautiful music
Thank you
Enjoying the videos. Thanks
Glad you like them!
Always love seeing scripture, thanks for your witness
It summed up the way we were feeling. Weary but relying on the Lord to carry us through
Thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed
This was so much exacting work. I’m so impressed with how Evan and Madelyn worked right along side of you and how Douglas was overseeing the project. The scripture from Isaiah and the song were a perfect ending. Great job ❤
The last song was an original created for the channel
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
You guys are rocking these builds 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you 🤗
Love those fog lights on the bus!
They work great! Thanks for re homing them with us, so many years ago😄
