“As our family grows so do our projects” I know, it’s corny, but it’s sincere. Or “alternative Building from our awesome family, learning as we go and teaching along the way”. I love watching y’alls show btw! My wife, myself and our three kids live in the Charleston SC area and currently rent but have 2.5 acres about an hour out from town that we are planning on building with alternative methods out there and I love the earth bag method y’all use and plan to implement it at some point. Keep living the dream y’all!
@@scottkursch3169 If they choose mine I would be incredibly honored. My Dad and Mom taught me that and I see it in their family. And at almost 54 years it's a way of life we don't see much anymore. We spend more family ly time now obsessed with electronics and not building quality family time. This family here brings back what I grew up with and try raising my daughter step kids and God kids adopted kids n all 30 odd grand kids with quality time and building something they can share with others. Mine is geared more to food and art projects than buildings though.
@@happycamper4328 lol thank you I'm pretty proud of it Haha. I kinda want to make a sign that says it now Haha. I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio and moved to Kentucky, now I own my own farm. Crazy difference from how I grew up lol every day is a learning moment with 10 animals on the farm (so far)
Renee P Really Good one, 2 tiny additions, My or OurHomesteadfamily..working, creating, loving and building these homes, this life and our family we love together!!!
Building our homestead and family, one step at a time... Moved from the city, now homestead free... Growing and building our family and homestead, one success (and mistake) at a time... Great channel. Love it. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Bullet was adorable when Bryson was talking into the pipe. And for a Intro "Our little family who started with a one room house, has come together with love and team work through trail and error to build our homestead. Along the way we have added a few animals and now a new family member, Join us each week as we bring you not 1 but now 2 homesteads."
Moved from the city to the country. Starting new projects and new chapters in our lives( pic of Garen & Ellie ) while building memories to treasure forever..
Your family is a fine example of working together as a team, one for all and all for one, it's been very refreshing to see your videos and the true love and concern you have for each other even the siblings for one another I think you're helping a lot of people 2 recognize they too can have families that get along and Inspire one another so thanks for sharing in the whole sense of the word actions do speak louder than words, well wishes to each of you!
"From the city to the country, we made family and homesteading into an ever expanding universe. Come join the journey." I have been following your family, and dream to expand my own family's journey.
shartne , I've always admired when channel owners thank their Patreon customers. I don't understand why your friend Troy R. refuses to do the same with his channel. He doesn't even upload videos there as promised. He treats it like an entitlement paypal donor account. Much better and honest Homestead content here. : )
You should pray about your hate for Troy give it to God he can deal with it. Its too heavy for you to carry. We will all answer to God for unforgiven sins. Its not up to you to judge anyone. Troy is doing the best he knows how. You have to understand that. Just like you think your doing your best. Live and let live. Its not our place to judge. Jesus it going to be the judge at the great white throne of judgment. I enjoy watching Troys videos I dont pick him apart. When I dont like watching someone working on their stuff I just un sub. Its easy to do, so if you dont like Troy then dont watch him. He means well Im sure. I think he is thankful he does thank people when he opens boxes Im not sure what your saying he is not thankful? Remember you will be judged in the same way you judge others kinda scary isnt it. I sometimes make comments to my wife and she dont want to hear it. Says dont judge. We arent judges. I but we are not to be tolerant of sin either. Are you thinking troy should come on at the end of the video thanking every one for donating or watching his videos. He always says thank you for watching. Did you donate on patrion to Troy and he didnt thank you? How about Patrion they take money a good chunk and they dont thank anyone does that make you mad at them? Also the government takes money in taxes they dont need and wastes it and no thanks is given. I have seen a lot more thankless people than Troy. I dont why everyone is on his case? I dont get it. He is being bullied. I dont like bullies. I use to stand up to them in school I would fight if I had to keep from being run over.
shartne , It is not about being 'judged' and all that stuff you mentioned. It's about critical thinking. Taking money, whether it's given freely or not, and Not upholding your promises, like the promise to post exclusive content, or the promise to 'thank' their customers, or the promise to have monthly giveaways....is wrong. No credibility, Among other things I won't bore you with. It is great to see MyLittleHomestead for example genuinely work hard and accomplish what they say they will do, without excuses. Good day sir.
What I've enjoyed and find inspirational by watching your videos is how the family is motivated to help each other out to get the job done. So from up here in Rochester, New York I think your slogan should be, "It takes a family to get it done from the city to the country!" Or "It takes a family to get it done"
"With Fiends and neighbors, Spouse and kids, chicken and Dogs, Cats and hogs... As family we can Concur any task, Side by side. " that's the best I can think of.. Great video..
I wait every week for your video. Your family adventure is truly the highlight of my weekly youtube viewing. Thank you for putting out fun wholesome videos.
I'm about 9 months behind on those projects but ya'll are doing a great job ! It's crazy how 9 months will make a difference the littler kids are so much bigger now just to nine months! Your dad's done a great job y'all keep up the good work thank you for the value in the content!
I love that though it's mainly a lot of hard work, you managed to show the fun you have. Great editing skills Shelly! Bryson cracked me up shouting through the pipe!
I really thought that chicken was yelling help.. help... Crazy, I know. It's good to see a family work & laugh together so well. Reminds me ( back in the day..LOL ) of being at my Grandmothers house with ALL the family !
"We're the Homesteaders. Growing and building our family one Earthbag at a time." This works because your kids have grown up building each place and now your family is growing more with Ellie.
Hahaaahasaaa....!! Poor Bullet!!! One thing is glaringly obvious....the love you all have for one another! Oopsie...make that two things....NONE OF YOU are afraid of some hard work!! I thoroughly enjoy your videos family! Thanks for sharing your inspiring videos with us!! Peace!💜💙💜
I love how the dogs totally think they're helping all the time. Bullet running up behind you while you were moving the rain barrel is my example from this video.
Slogan Idea? "Come and join our family as we colonize our little patch of land together! Each week brings us new projects and challenges, but with a little family teamwork (and a lot of laughs), we are getting one step closer to that dream we call home." I can't wait for next friday's video, you guys make my week!
Second suggestion for the slogan: “With a love of family and just as much hard work, we have turned a mountain of dirt into a wonderful earth bag homestead. Thank you for joining us as we build our lives together.”
Suggestion title as follows moving Earth together Or the family that moves Earth together it works well because moving the Earth is a catchphrase expression
My boyfriend is planning to build his own first earthbag. I'm always waiting for your uploads here in the Philippines. Thank you for inspiring us! By the way, we love your dogs ❤️
Shae, at 12:00 you mention guide you through life. What you do is guiding you towards a life of excellence as a human being and one day- a parent. Of course you already know that. Stay AWESOME- all of you!
So much work, but then such a great feeling that U have accomplished what U have started and then the enjoyment when U R able 2 utilize it!!! Y'all have an enjoyable, safe week! MGB!
Do you have any group photos from the beginning when y'all were younger? Do a split screen with the younger version on one side and the current arrangement on the other. I'm still thinking of a slogan.
Our citified turned country family has joined other families in the country in the pursuit of sustainability awareness for everyone whether you live in the country or the city. A bit wordy, but editing is always a good thing. ❤️

Ha ha! Fun with pvc pipe! I remember doing that when I was a kid! Too fun! And what a cool way to send off the newly weds. They get to take their own livestock. Way cool. :-D
My late husband, Humphrey Blackburn, was the guy behind Blue Future Filters, and held patents for elements used in slow sand filters. I bring this up to hopefully save you some trouble, based on our experience experimenting with filtration for gray water. It didn't work. Even with a settling tank before the sand filter, a mesh grease trap in the sink drain (we were only testing on our kitchen sink), even putting an aerator in the settling tank to keep it from going anaerobic, it still quickly became a smelly mess, and overflowed when it got clogged up. From what I've read since, gray water held for even just a day or so (probably pretty quickly in your warm climate) will become black water. Yuck. I'm personally setting up a system for my new home using a pit filled with wood chips, which will then drain out to the landscape via a perlite-filled trench. (The perlite is left over from my husband's business, but is available as a soil amendment.) My soil is very clay-ey, and I don't want the water to sit in a clay pit long enough to go nasty on me, so the drain trench will start at the bottom of the pit, and flow down and away. (I'm not saving the water for irrigation at this point, but you could.) The wood chips will settle and compost, and can be topped up or replaced as needed, and provide compost when exhausted. I *hope* my system works! There are a few more details, like how to size the chip area, and introduce the flow so it doesn't clog up. Let me know if you're interested. I wish us all luck! :D

A Family that works together grows together. That's what I see in your videos.
Rebecca Miller Like it a lot. Some form or variation of your idea, I believe will be chosen.

@3:47 it sounds like the chicken is saying, help, help. Oh dear! Bullet is a scream! Omg, he's my favorite!! Thank you for the video, it made me day!!
To me the biggest bravo goes to mom and dad. They are my you tube heros.
"Our family builds together"? Omg Bullet was so confused, adorable! Good luck to Ellie and Garen!!

I love that though it's mainly a lot of hard work, you managed to show the fun you have. Great editing skills Shelly! Bryson cracked me up shouting through the pipe!
I like the greywater set up. We have something really simple now. It's just basically a drain out back into a mulched basin.👍
I really thought that chicken was yelling help.. help... Crazy, I know. It's good to see a family work & laugh together so well. Reminds me ( back in the day..LOL ) of being at my Grandmothers house with ALL the family !

This works because your kids have grown up building each place and now your family is growing more with Ellie.
Really nice to see your channel continuing to grow (135K). And now your family has too :) Wish you all well!
A family who plays together stays together;) is a good slogan

I like the self emptying wheel barrel at the end!
Love the updates and progress each Friday post.
I love how the dogs totally think they're helping all the time. Bullet running up behind you while you were moving the rain barrel is my example from this video.
I wish I had you guys for neighbors, you seem like such a loving family.
3:48 is that chicken screaming "Help! Heelp! Heeelp!" xD
That's what I said!!!!!
lol
I heard it too!

Bullet: "Oh no, my master has transformed into a pipe."
Notverygoodatall ... or ‘which way did he go George?’
How'd he get in there?
"Our family's got building in the bag."
Our family moved from the city to the country, it’s bloomed and grown strong and we want to share it with you.
sounded like the last chicken was calling for help!!
Eaves comes from the Old English word efes, which means edge! Nice work on the plumbing and stucco guys!
Do you have any group photos from the beginning when y'all were younger? Do a split screen with the younger version on one side and the current arrangement on the other. I'm still thinking of a slogan.

How about "Building Family Memories". You guys always inspire me. Love your videos.
Making misstakes is the best way to learn! :D can´t wait to see how the vanity turnes out! :D
