We are a young husband and wife who took a leap of faith and bought 5 acres of rural off grid land in the Arizona desert and decided to build ourselves a homestead. Join us on our journey and see where this adventure takes us! Follow us on Instagram @MiguelNMichellesRanch for sneak peaks to our upcoming videos. Thanks
Shed To House: Did We FINALLY Do It!?
We've been away for a while, what have we been up to. We've been debating weather its worth getting a shed to house conversion or build our own cabin. After building our bathhouse, we realized how much work it really is. But did we go through with it?

Fencing In Our 5 Acre Arizona Desert Off Grid Homestead
Good to see you back on the homestead. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Thank you! We can't wait to show you all what's coming. It might be surprising.
Another step closer to living on the land, eh? Congrats!
Yes!! One day we'll look back and be grateful to have put in all this work while still young and able.
Back from the dead as if nothing happened. What do I know, I’m just a hater.
Haha Exactly. You'll be surprised when you see our next video.
Container is 95% cheaper!!! Great choice.
Shh 🤫 it's a secret lol
Omg very good job
Thanks! Jimenez Grading Company here in the Phoenix area!
It's been a while but it's nice to see you back. The tractor 🚜 work was done well. Good job you two.
Hey, thanks! It sure has. 9 months to be exact 😉 We'll let them know ya'll like the work!!
Glad to see you guys are still moving forward with this! Can’t wait for the next update. All the best to you. Merry Christmas!
Thank you!! Of course, we never give up. Just adjust to the circumstances! Merry Christmas!!
I was thinking about you two just the other day. I'm glad to see you are back. 😊
Thank you so much! We thought about you all, all the time. Hopefully we're back for good and more consistent this coming year!
Awesome clearing. Can you share the costs and the kind of clearing tool on the tractor? Happy for you guys
Thank you so much! They charged us $800 dollars to do the driveway and the spot for the cabin. Not only did they clear it but they leveled it too. But the price depends on the size of the clearing, driveway width and length, as well as distance from the city. All in we believe it was well worth the money.
Long time no see. Glad you’re back. Now get to work!! Lol.
Yes, it's been quite some time haha Yessir! 🫡
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looks great out there can't wait to see more. 🎉
Thank You! We'll be making more consistent progress this coming year. God willing.
I can see your dream coming to life and the land clearing company did a dam good job I'm impressed.
Thanks! It's slowly but surely coming along. Now you know who to call if you need work done!
Great job! ❤
How much was approximate cost for materials?
Approximately $2,500 to $3,000. Well worth it compared to the 20K it could have cost us to have it done professionally.
So time consuming, but it is really worth it in the long run
Wildlife gets caught on barbed wire.
There are 12 inches between each row of barbed wire.
@MiguelNMichellesRanch I've freed many birds from barbed wire.
Love seeing couples work together ❤ Excellent looking fence! Thank you for listing all your products! I’ve been needing a tool belt and driver! I do have a question. Where did you get your trailer with solar? Or did you build it? I need one for AZ for when I build my fence on my land too.
Hey, thanks! We purchased the trailer and they put the solar in it our selves.
Land in the middle of nowhere you say, and yet you have to fence it in to protect it from what? I would think there would be more important things to do such as maybe drill well or a foundation of some kind or building a shed or garage, etc. I hope you’re paying in the Social Security so you have some kind of income in 20 some years.
We're got better than social security. The fence is just a deterent for when we are building the cabin. People who aren't necessarily living up here will snoop and steal and anything they can't steal, set on fire for no reason. Yes we could have started somewhere else but we felt that by talking to people around here, this was the priority.
Lots of people living in RVs in rural buckeye west of buckeye living in the middle of nowhere That’s where they park their rvs or cars in areas like you guys are fencing in
I'm in the process of doing the same.
I Just subscribed to the channel. I am loving the videos. I did watch them all :{. I am looking for more entertainment how often do you post videos?. Please get a rechargeable nail gun because i know you are tired of hammering all those nails.
Hey, thanks for subscribing. We havent posted in a while but we will soon. I though about getting a nailgun, but they are super pricey, might have to bite the bullet and do it. Maybe for the cabin build.
😎
No water was the first mistake. There are places in Aridzona with plenty of water. One day we will see videos of this off grid homesteading done right. #1 is is always going to be a water source, of at least five gallons a minute. I hope they can drill a well there.. I would have done it first,
We don't mind hauling for the start and eventually save for the well.
Are you two still around? Please post more vids! 😅
We will soon haha thanks for asking.
Great job
Where did you go?
We'll explain soon, thanks for asking though.
Nice job!
❤
Nice work! Kudos to you both. Best wishes.
Hate to say it after you completed the entire job, want about couple of small gates, save crawling under the wire
Yes, we though about it after unfortunately.
My bit of Canada developed because of fishing in the days of schooners under sail. They were dependent on the wind. Have you found a wind free part of the desert in Arizona? Your bathhouse will look even more like an old schooner when you add the topsails…I mean the roof!
Wind free? No sir! anything not tied down will end up in the neighbors yard.
Why did you chose the t111 instead of OSB, price difference?
Price and it looks better.
Beautiful piece of property. I live in Santa Cruz county in the mountains on 6 acres. Built a home in 2022 with a well. Love it here. What county are you guys in ??? My husband 60 years old, did the fence himself with little help from me. It’s hard work but really rewarding just with the money saved not hiring someone else to do it 👍🏻
Hey, thanks! Congrats on your property!! Yes we only hire if we absolutely have to, like heavy machinery. Save all the money you can while off grid.
I enjoy your channel, you both seem to be perfectionists which I like, also there's no need to recreate the wheel so to speak for those of us attempting to do what you are doing...
Thank you, so glad you understand!
Very nice informative channel, you are such a lovely couple!
I'm 74 years old, considering buying some land in Az. for RV camping with the family. You guys are an inspiration. If you can do it so, can I. I wish you the very best!!
please dont. just stay in cali.
Look at the San Pedro River basin area, research it . Water first.
You can do it sir! be free! just stay safe and do your homework first so there are no suprises. Those can be life changing. But this adventure can be peaceful. but not without its challenges.
Great job guys
That's beautiful man
And another off grid channel fail.
Thanks for the hate, mate, love you too.
@ “Hate” Where did you liberal ass see hate in my comment? wtf is wrong with you.
You insinuated we had failed, when in fact we've only uploaded 6 long format videos, havent posted in over six months and still managed to get over 1000 subs as well as get monetized. Here, we call that a success. Ciao 🫡
I subscribed, so excited to be on this journey with you two!! ❤
Why? In the middle of nowhere.
Because peace ahah
Good job
Your video makes my BP go down by 10 inches of Mercury. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
We're glad we can help!
@@MiguelNMichellesRanch It will be put to good use in 16 months when we move full full time to our Homestead.
Oooo how exciting! That's amasing, We home it's everything you ever wished for!
Why you packing heat there's no one out there.
For the Mad Max people haha
just found you two and really enjoying your content. Subscribed
And just like that, they are gone.
hey, thanks! We'll be back soon, stay tuned.
Good luck with all of the illegals coming through. I’ve heard nightmare stories of what land owners are dealing with. That little fence won’t keep them out if the border fence couldn’t. Stay armed. There are seriously bad criminals coming in.
That’s a lot of fence.
Great Job🎉 continue to make great content
Hey guys good job. Miguel, I think you were talking about Heath Skinner at Red POPPY Ranch and yes he is cool a great guy and builder. Trying to figure where you guys are in Southern AZ, hubby and I are trying to recognize the terrain. Just found your channel and subscribed 😁. Kathy from Safford, AZ
The mans name is Patrik from life on the moose channel on youtube. Cool guy. We're in Maricopa County in the Wickenburg area. Thanks for subscribing Kathy!
