Here's a little trick you guys go to harbor freight and buy what's called a drill pump it's $14.99 you hook two hoses to it one one the in and one for the out and then you just push the button on the corded or cordless drill and it does all the work, pumps 750 gallons per hour.. it works anywhere you can pump it out of your spring or from one IBC Tote to another IBC Tote or from the IBC Tote to your camper it's how I pump water from my IBC Tote on my trailer i pull behind my jeep.from where I fill up...to my big RV that is stationary on my property ..quick and easy..
This is great advice :) Hoping to collect rain water soon but will probably be going to get a pump for the interim soon :)
Awesome show !! Keep em coming !!!
@@RunawayMattCass oh I do water catchment also on each end of my RV it has these little spouts for the water runoff..my rv is a 2022.. I went to Home Depot and I bought these gutter extensions that kind of look like accordion tubes...attached with super duty outside velcro hook and loop tabs ( No way was I drilling in to my Rv)
Because the accordion-like shape that they are I can point them in any direction,
And I have food grade 55 gallon barrels under them with cloth screening to catch any particles leafs twigs and so on.
Then on my son and daughter's 12x24 Amish cabins..gutters with IBC totes for catching water.. 6 people in 3 different residences we use alot of water also 4 dogs, 4 cats , 3 huge rabbits, 14 chickens
So alot of water is use.. the only water we drink and cook with is the water I bring in for free from a filtered source..
Soon our sand point well will be driven..
Tennessee Here! I know people who have these built and u just don't come out and say it! Move ur van beside it and noone needs to know ur business! 😅 If anyone ask u live In the van and u need the building for storage because u are going to build a house...Use solar and do what ur doing for water! Use a aluminum feeding thingy for a shower and wrap ur shower with metal roofing! Run ur grey water for veggie beds! Also ur sinks..Use a compost toliet 😊😊
Natural Springs near property are a dream come true.
Right! The area is just so alive :)
She is one happy lady i don't blame her
If it was me, I would just get me a trailer that would handle the tote with a full tank of water in the some insulated foam around the outside of it so you can keep the sun out.
And a pump built on to the trailer that you can actually pump the water from the tote to the house.
We will be setting up rain water collection for our home. Our current solution is just temporary and we don't want to over buy before we know what we exactly want. Although a trailer may be in our future soon.
When you were explaining your ventilation above the foam sheets you may have horizontal ventilation but you really need vertical ventilation and a way for air to flow free. The bottom to the top and a way for that vented hot sit to escape. With out good ventilation above your insulation you can get “container rain” moisture and high humidity that can cause mold and mustiness.
Retired and my Wife and I are looking for a place to build a mini home, I wish we had your energy!
I love to see you two together. You are an inspiration to me. This my dream
Hi ......From Bucks County Pa I wish you the very best !
Hey Kenneth! So happy to have you here for the journey. Thanks for the support
think about putting hurricane clips on the rafters and metal straps from the top plate angled to the bottom plate , before you cover everything up , that can also continue on with straps embedded into corner footers in cement , check building codes and discuss this with a local builder or good carpenter
Wonderful activity! I am 70 and enjoying what young people do and how they create a home. Fantastic...
Thanks so much for following along! We have always lived and dreamed a bit different from those around us. Some hard work and good vibes have gotten us along way. Hope to see you on the next video :)
I like your upside down pineapple just a swinging
I live in rural Tn, that spring looks exactly like the spring down our rd. Been here 32 yr's beautiful place.
Maybe it is :) haha Such a beautiful place grateful to call it home
@@RunawayMattCass you people move here and cause financial hardship for the locals. Blue state invaders no doubt
Love the Tyler Childers T-shirt 😁
Good morning you guys say I'm proud of what you guys are doing keep up the good work have a good day guys God bless you 💗
Appreciate that so much! We work hard out here on our ranch, means the world to have people like you supporting us.
We enjoy watching you guys, always good content
It will gravity feed! as long as the level of the water in the truck is higher than the tank in your camper. It might take a while but it will work. We gravity feed out camper in the mountains of SW VA for 2 years while we built our retirement house!
Awesome :) ya it kinda worked lol we will be getting a little twelve volt pump to help.
Paint the metal roof white
FYI if you do this again in the future, spray foam insulation works a lot better on shed to house than fiberglass insulation.
Thank you! Yes we did look into that right now it was a little out of the budget!
I noticed you have that bubble wrap insulation too that will help alot more than you realize
Good job guys . Nice tight measurement and fit on your insulation 😊
Thanks Chris :) it worked perfect and already feels so much better in the cabin
Y’all are slaying stoked on this property for y’all
Thanks bud! You and the fam will have to drive that bus over here one day and check it all out!
You guys are rockin it, can’t wait to visit that neck of the woods some day when I’m done caring for mom, but i will definitely get down there, your Alaskan friend, God Bless 🙏❤️
Heck yes :) You are more than welcome. Your support and love means so much. See ya next time bud
Doing Insulation sucks!! I'm glad it went up fast for ya. Great channel, I'm glad I found it. ✌️❤️
I was prepping for alot worse! Lol when we did the insulation in the bus build, it was horrible. Haha, this was a little better, but happy the roof is in now 😍 thanks for watching. See ya on the next video ❤️
I love you both so much, I also love this channel!!! But dang it Cass!!! Calm down a bit love!!! Try decaf!!!! Let Matt finish a sentence every now and then!!! Much love from South Kentucky!!! ❤
Looks like an adventure loving it ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!! We are loving working on this. Can't wait to keep making progress!

I love your place!
Thank you so much! It's quite the project but we are loving it!!
So awesome! Love seeing you guys progress! Lots of work ahead of ya, keep it up!
Since youll be doing water on the regular, maybe you could find a water transfer pump on the cheap? As long as you could power it for a little while? Or possibly a gas one? Or just break the bank and go right to the milwaukee m18 transfer pump 😂
Thanks bud :) Happy to have you here. This is all a temporary solution. We are ordering a pump this week to get the water out of the tank easily next time.
Welcome to Tennessee! :)
:) Thank you
I might have missed it buy how is airflow entering the eaves and travelling out the peak which is necessary to evacuate moisture? Can air enter the base of the eaves and travel upwards? Those 1x4 boards going across the rafters act as a block from what I can see and you will not get airflow from the bottom of the roof out the peak.
Ventilation to prevent condensation mold growth is important. I’m sure you know this 😊. If you flip the insulation over when cutting and use a metal yard stick it’s easier to do.
Ya we know condensation from van life lol!
Newbe here, really enjoying your videos.Paint the metal roof white,Without the roof it was HOT... but when you turned it into a tiny home with a roof wow,loving it.
:) Happy to have you here :)
awesome
Thank you 🥰 can't wait to see this place come to life! Hoping you come along for the ride
Hello brother Matt and sister Cass great job God Bless you and your family
Thank you so much!!! 🙌
Look out! The Runaways have gone crazy! Insulating in the 90s. Looks really good! Way to tough it out and get er done. Trying to hold you back is like trying to shoot a cannon off a little bit at a time.😂
You know us ;) Always just flying at a thousand miles an hour lol. I think we secretly like the extra challenge. One day at a time this place goes from raw land to a home. That reminds me.... Time to get back to work :) haha
Love your spirit. BUT , Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby . Really enough baby .Good luck with the project.
Hey bro just to let you know I have a Z71 also half ton and I've hauled a whole tote with that truck will haul that tote EZ push it forward as far as you can strap it down loaded up and drive her home and when you want to transfer your water get you a waterbed pump Dirt Cheap got to take can transfer that water lot faster just let you know man
Great start!! 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Thank you so much!!! Working hard out here hahaha
@@RunawayMattCass little work, little play. What life is all about baby!! 😁
Absolutely! 🤘
Isn’t funny how you never know how your life experiences are going to affect you in the future. The bus and van builds have prepared you for this next phase in your life. Just on a bigger scale. Thru it all that positive don’t give up outlook on life you have is going to get you through this. Love watching and thank you for bringing us along. Lol.
It's so true! Without those two experiences, this all would be so overwhelming (not saying that this isn't still overwhelming at times haha). We've actually had some hurdles this week but are trying to push through. As always, thank you for the support and kind words! Cheers!
Don’t worry bout that truck load up and another bit of ido is ful tank easier stopp the water not sloshing so much so it’s not un balancing the load
Thanks for the advice :) see you on the next one
GREAT start... I am rebuilding a camper trailer. Without the roof it was HOT... but when I turned it into a tiny home with a roof WOW...I LOVE staying in it now...LOVE from Chicago
So awesome! ya it is a must if you wanna do anything in that space lol. We are so excited that you are here for the journey! Goodluck on the camper
So awesome. Im excited watching your progress. I feel like I'm just following in your guys footsteps. I just put down my down payment for my new Tiger #033 yesterday. By the time I get it, and get it together some you guys will have your lil cabin together. It would be wonderful to visit you guys in my new lil Tigger 😜
AHHHH!! gosh we are so excited for you :) number #33 such a big deal! That would be rad. Also by than Jolene will need to be taken out for a little trip for sure :)
Just a suggestion. If you have two water totes. You can gravity feed from the truck tank to the second tank and not have to load and or reload totes.
So nice.. I wish you good luck.
I like your choice of music it brought me back to Bee Gees days.
YESSS! Appreciate that I spend a lot of time on our music making it unique to us!
@@RunawayMattCass stayin' alive 👍
Be forewarned! Cats sometimes disappear into the woods and don’t come back! Makes me sad when this happens. I follow two other homesteaders that each have had one of their cats never come back.
A little at a time and you will get there.
Taking it all in! It is a slow process but we are learning alot :)
Go get yourself another one of those tanks and a 12-volt pump and build yourself a water tower
Is the water coming from an Artesian well, because if there's an Artesian well right down the street from your house but in a few miles there's probably a spring or as well underground under your property that you can tap into you need to find out because if you can tap into an Artesian well on your own property which would be a damn good thing you don't even need a pump then I would look into that because you can find out if there's one under you if there is a need to tap into it you can pound of WellPoint down in the ground just get a bit from a air hammer and weld a piece of pipe onto the build a platform and just pounded a pipe down into the ground with the Jackhammer I've done it myself it works really well takes a while but it's worth the work
Loving the start on the cabin. I live on the Plateau of Cumberland mountains. Are you close to black moutain or hinch mountain our state is so beautiful. Go Vols💥‼️
GO VOLS BABY :) I think that is about an hour and a half from us. Thanks for being here for the journey.
Enjoy your content. I suggest 5mill plastic sheathing under the fiberglass for a vapor barrier and the same for walls when getting to that.
Thanks!
According to where you are at in Tennessee, you might experience a deep freeze during the winter. In many places in Tennessee you will experience several days below freezing, with the possibility of seeing the temps drop into the teens, single digits, and/or below possible at some points.
-Rob in Tennessee
Thanks Rob. We have a good heat source in our motor home for the winter and originally from upstate NY we are use to living in the cold temps. We will be making sure we are comfortable this winter for sure :)
I think Corey and Cynthia Davis live close to you. Sparter Tn. ? Get u with them if u are interested. Your cabin will be cooler with insulation. Great idea with the foam board.
Love meeting others doing similar things :) The cabin already feels so much better
You should sell a few 1-2 acre RV spots . We may be interested. Glad for you guys , you seem happy
Definitely something we'll keep in mind! We do plan on renting an RV spot or two but never thought about selling one. Thank you for the support! Cheers!
What might help with that kinky hose is pulling it out straight and stretching it a bit. Each gets on the opposite end of the hose and begin walking away from the other. Walk until it won’t stretch anymore. The hose will then have the kinks out and is more usable.
We will give it another try lol silly hose that we have been carrying with us for over a year now.
Slide the tote back so its over your axle . And you can haul up to 2040lbs as i have same truck
Sweet! Thanks for the knowledge :)
Looks nice, good job... just for advice, if you can do the wiring without going through the insulation, you have not to worry about condensation in winter time.
Thanks so much for watching! We will keep that in mind for sure :)
You can go somewhere and get you RV place and get you. Arv 12 V pump RFO Amazon. And then you hook it to your tank and then hook your hose to that. A short section from the host to the point from the tank to the point
We plan to order one this week online. This is all a temporary solution and figuring it out as we go :)
You gonna have to get some kind of tar for covered gold over that water deal. If you gonna or paint the container so that you don't get Mold and mildew in it from the sun. And algae.
Yup we got the covers for the totes it should be a great solution to help prevent mold, mildew, and algae.
If u guys wanna keep your water a little cooler dig a hole about 2 feet deep and set your water in the hole and keep it covered it will stay much cooler
Such a good idea thank you :)
I would have used a spray foam kit. Expensive but would work much better
If you buy the hot an cold water hose rubber they don’t kink like regular garden hoses they cost more but they are better
Sweet! That will probably be in our future lol :) Thanks for the informatin.
Just a word of CAUTION:
Don't put the gasoline in the back seat---if you have an accident, it can spill and cause a much more serious situation, including the possibility of a fire!!
Stay SAFE---especially on these mountain roads.
Thank you :)
Very cool. Can I ask what part of TN this is and what you paid per acre? I’ve been thinking of doing the same on a smaller scale. Just drive through tn this past week, hence how I found your channel
We are in the Cumberland mountains :)
What is the name of the company you got your cabin from? It looks fantastic and I might want to get one myself.
I'm starting a petition for a full video dedicated to the taco socks.
No petition needed :) Already on it lol 😂
rain water needs a mineral supplement.
Once we start collecting we will be considering that.
Great video! Interested in reviewing our POWERWIN BT100 1280Wh LiFePO4 Battery?
Hey guys... Im new to your channel. Im watching your video this is illegal. Now while i understand that you are not rich.. Couldnt you find a friend or perhaps somewhere way off out of site to move your tiny home to temporarily then go thru the legal steps of building it yourselvesand get the necessary inspections and what not. Then use the built from scratch building as your shed or barn building for all of your supplies etc. Then bring your Aumish built building back and start worming on it as you wanted to. My Grandpa always said do what you want to do and pay the fine its so much cheaper than going the totally legal way. They nickle and dime you to death when tryi g to do it all the states way.
where did you purchase the cabin from?
Love what you are doing! My question is why would you transport a gas can in a truck when drive a truck?
Thanks and we just didn't have a strap to tie it down and we didn't want it rolling around in the bed.
I just worry about people! I have the lady from a homestead youtube mad at me because she was showing everyone how to store Walmart potatoes. There is no use storing store potatoes they have hormones that prevent sprouting and are not good for human consumption. I have some store potatoes I sadly purchased last may and went soft. I have had them in my lawn in full sun for over a month. They look better now than when I put them out. They are not green and no sprouts. Scary stuff. Again I love what you are doing and you are so lucky to have a partner in crime!
Oh my God put that take up in the air and buy an electric pump to pump the water out of your truck into that tank in the air you'll have all the pressure you need
We did this was just a very short term solution.
How about you guys put a foundation underneath the shed? Them both your shut down to the foundation
Unfortunately , the state says that if it begins as a "ready removable", you need to follow all procedure including permits and inspections (even though if we built it ourselves in our county, we wouldn't have to) It's very frustrating.
And your house can be legally in 4 days real sempol
Would putting wheels on it make it legal?
How are you affording all of this? Land, prefab cabin, truck, fuel, etc. Are you financing this from RUclips revenue, or do you have some other income source? I’m looking to go off-grid too, but I keep asking where’s the money going to come from if I were to leave my good job… Just kind of curious to see how you are financing this type of lifestyle.
It's all been a gradual process and decisions that have brought us here. We bought our bus for $3,800 and built it by hand (out of pocket) while living well within our means and working full time. Through all of our travels (and now on the homestead), we both work remotely. At the height of the market, we sold our house. We eventually sold our bus for a profit. We live and lived minimally in a way that most people wouldn't even consider for 3 years and were able to save the majority of the money that we were making. That all brought us here. We now continue to work remotely, make a very little amount of money through our work on RUclips/Patreon/Instagram and plan to turn our property into an income generating business.

What was the cost to do the insulation?
The insulation for the roof was around $300 but that dose not include the foam board
Being amish built do mind me asking what that building cost you?
$9,000 total with shipping
What does a Amish shed like that cost?
Love you guys, so sorry, TN. Is being jerks over something so small. I mean, the Amish are better builders than any Ole contractor.
it's , electrical, plumbing and then insulation , but whatever LOL
Love the disclaimer for the know-it-all idiots in the comments.
Just found your channel and I’m so happy I did. I love your videos but I am concerned about the news you recently received re not being able to live in your home. Ugh is this really what freedom looks like?? A question we must ask ourselves before the election.
