How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our tiny house on wheels into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream! We've recently added a lakeside cabin into the mix, which has been so much fun to renovate and turn into a dreamy cottage but our heart is at the land, the 10 acre homestead we built from scratch in the middle of the woods!

We ended up spending our anniversary down by the water with the boys. Later in the afternoon, Todd decided to pick up Chinese food and someone else who lives on the lake set off fireworks (not for us, just a coincidence LOL). I still can’t believe how fast the years slipped by…TEN years married, I’ll guess we really are getting older 😆...it's been nice to take a few days to relax away from the hustle of construction but we're SO excited to get back to work and finish this deck. How dreamy is it going to be?!
Happy anniversary!!! Love and hugs from Ontario
@@joannemacintyre2512 Thanks so much Joanne xoxo
Love how Todd and Tyler talk to us like we are there, by looking into the camera. We are inside the camera. The Camera People.
Happy Anniversary
Happy anniversary 🎉🎈
Please tell Dumpy that many of us consider him to be a national treasure. He is a fountain of knowledge and has helped to save this project. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Happy Anniversary. 10 years of an awesome life together. 💕
I think you should adopt Dumpy, such a steady, calm guy. Thank goodness you found him! Happy anniversary xx
Yupper. Gotta love um. ❤
As President of the American Dumpy and Mel Fan Club, I think you guys should name something on your property after them. Something that's a permanent fixture, like a tree or particularly pretty viewpoint or something in their honor. As someone who's followed you guys from the RV days to now, it's been one heckuva ride and it's so exciting to see how far you've come!
How do I join??
When your pool is finished, always hang a little towel or piece of cloth into the pool, so when a squirrel or your cat falls into the pool they can climb out with the help of the towel/cloth.
Great idea! When we had a pool in a Florida, we put little pieces cut off pool noodles to save the many froggies who ended up in our pool skimmer
Brilliant idea😊
Great idea
That's a *great* idea! I'd never thought of that. (!)
Dumpy is a lifesaver, what a guy!
I love that Dumpy is teaching you along the way!
Greetings from us in BC. I married my husband on the same day as you married, August 2, 2014, and like you, we remarked how fast a decade flew by. We turned 70 this year, and can testify that, yes, time flies by faster with each passing year. We affirm you both in your intention to live more in the present, and take very opportunity you can to celebrate each other, your love for each other, and your love for life. Now that we are an old gay couple who met late in life, we wake up each day with gratitude for the day, and end each day with gratitude. We wish for your the happiness and joy that is a feature of every day.
No WAY! The same day and the same year? That's so cool...you may have found each other later in life but I'm so happy you did. Here's to the next 10 years together xoxo
Congratulation on 10 lovely years.
Congratulations!!
Wonderful. Congratulations. ❤❤
Happy Anniversary 😁🤗🥰
Happy Anniversary!! 🎉 A decade of being married and staying married is huge!! Here’s to the next decade of love and laughter 🎉❤
Don't forget to start planting, mint, lavender, lemon glass, marigolds, garlic and rosemary all around the pool area. Just a other way to keep ticks away from pets and guest. Once they get established they will come back year after year and protect everyone from ticks and other bitting bugs. Wouldn't hurt to add a couple more bat nest/boxes
Yes to ALL of these except mint...mint is the bane of my existence and I wish I never planted it because it's impossible to get rid of!
You can plant in tubs that keeps it from being invasive@@tylerandtodd
@@tylerandtodd just plant mint in pots since it spreads so quickly or plant it under the trees so the scent will rub along bellies of the dogs. Extra protection for them
@@tylerandtodd it will also help to keep the squirrels and other rodents away since they don't like the smell
@@tylerandtoddWhite thyme and geranium are great for repelling mosquitoes. Not sure about ticks. But it would be worth a shot to plant some or just get some outdoor essential oil diffusers with a timer on it. P.s. white thyme essential oil is STRONG just use a couple of drops in the diffuser or spray bottle. Never use it on the body without diluting it.
As a devout fan I am truly glad things are the progressing. As a women who gives birth and raises children I would argue the point of giving life to another human and raising another generation of good people beautiful and complicated not as you stated “simple.” Please enjoy your anniversary and rest of summer.
I got to be honest, I was questioning why you guys got into all that trouble of constructing the container house, while you have the dome and the lake house, and Tyler spit it out for us: .... kids!!!!!! So happy for you, you are going to be excellent excellent and cool parents. Happy Anniversary!!!!!!
1st time commenting and English is not my 1st or 2nd language so please bear with the mistakes. Just had to put my cents in.... you guys are so much more happier after Dumpy and the other gorgeous guy has come into your lives. Prayers that Your life is filled with beautiful souls and spirits like you two always. May you always have beautiful angels around you.
I’m a thousand years older than you, and I’m learning from you. Through all your challenges, you accommodate for each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and you talk. You’re lovely young men with your hearts in the right place. ❤️
The older you are the time just seems to fly by. I know I just turned 80, I don't know where all the time has gone. Happy Anniversary.
Thank God for Dumpy, what a great guy!
Here's to hitting a quarter of a million subs, guys.
Dumpy is the wood whisperer! He sees what you both can’t. 😂
Apparently LOL...could see a thing hahaha
Im so glad you have Dumpy
Same..LOL
You sure found a treasure in Dumpy. He’s a great guy and a good person. Always working hard you two. Love your videos. Take care.
Dumpy is a treasure! And what a great sense of humour. Your pool area is going to amazing.
Love you guys! Dumpy is a national treasure 😊
You two complement each other so well! Keep embracing all the moments!
Happy 10th Anniversary! I’ve made it 41, good luck guys.
Congratulations on 10 years. We just had our 50th. The Land is looking great.
My personal kryptonite is when something that should take 3 steps suddenly takes 7, then 9, then spirals off into chaos and darkness. Watching y’all deal with all the errors that you’ve been saddled with thanks to crummy engineers and contractors (and I don’t even want to think about paperwork and permits and general bureaucracy)… Honestly it’s incredible. You two are incredible. You and your families deserve every moment of joy and tranquility and rosé dance parties that this incredible property and home will bring. Werk.
❤
Awesome comment!👏
Happy Anniversary Tyler and Todd , Cheers to 50 more wonderful years together ❤️
Dumpy seems like such a good guy 💜
Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! My husband and I just had our 55th anniversary, and I hope you'll be as happy together 45 years from now as we are. You're such a loving couple, and you compliment each other so well.
You should never let Dumpy go!❤. Looking great!
I really appreciate you guys reading the comments and thanking people for advice and concerns about building projects. You guys and your fur family are awesome. We love you guys and thank you for sharing and making Sunday my favorite day.❤
It's honestly a treasure trove of information, very lucky and grateful to have all of you to chime in. Even when you don't know something and it's just a "have you thought of this...", it's always helpful!
Glad to see squirrel was on the job.
Having to work in high temps and humidity really sucks, but you will be so happy this winter knowing that all the major outside construction is finished, and you can work indoors in the dry, at temperatures you can control. Happy Anniversary from Ed and Zack!
Happy anniversary! The two of you are a fabulous team. Throw in Dumpy and it’s a marriage that works perfectly for the task at hand.
By the time this is finished you two will be engineers, architects, master masons, master carpenters, mathematical geniuses, concrete specialists, masters of all trades. You amaze me. When you figure things out, I get lost but just love to hear you talking it through. Heck, I just want to be your granny!!!!
Happy anniversary, enjoy many more.
Happy Anniversary! My husband and I celebrated our 35th in June and we still can't believe it's been that long! The years really do fly by. Live in the moment, never forget why you fell in love and always appreciate each other. Congratulations and may the next 10 be as joyful.
PS I am so envious of that deck!
Just think guys, there are carpenters who do this everyday for a living. You are doing it for ONE of your homes. ❤
You guys just need to accept that this is what you do each day. When you are always wishing it was done is when it becomes so much harder. Just go with the flow. You have done so much that you haven’t given yourself credit for.
Ok - I’m gonna keep a list of all the hilarious little quips that leap out of Todd’s mouth! Thanks for chuckling through your lives and inviting us to chuckle along. Happy Anniversary, with wishes for a long lifetime of joy.
Oh my goodness, can I relate! Happily married 32 years, together 37. 2 kids. I honestly can't believe how fast time goes.
Even without he deck board, incredibly satisfying to see all of those spaces connected! It is going to be just beautiful!!
Can you just IMAGINE what it with look like with the deck boards on?! Cannot wait! 😍
Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! My husband and I will be celebrating 50 years later on in August, I was just 20 when we got married and he was 24 and the time does go by so quickly so make some good memories with each other!!!
The patience the two of you have for this project is astounding! I would have resembled a banshee with chunks of hair missing 😂
LOLLL listen, it gets close to that point some days!
Congratulations to ten years of listening,loving, understanding and just being present for each other… wishing you many more ten years to come…
The deck is coming right along now. It already looks amazing. Each week brings so much progress. I know the work has been difficult in the extreme heat, but just imagine how nice it will be to sit by your pool next year when it's warm... Have a great week! Congrats on 10 years married. ❤
Holding onto to that feeling!!!
Congratulations, gentlemen. Many, many more years.
Its our anniversary too! We are in our 70's and got married 3 years ago!! Love your house! And your other house! And your other house!

Watching your problem solving skill growth over the past years has helped with mine. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
little by little!!
Inch by inch it’s a cinch yard by yard. It’s hard.
Great job. The deck is going to be fantastic. Tyler's beard is looking really sharp. Despite set backs it is lovely to see you smile so much.
Happy Belated Anniversary Tyler and Todd! 🥂💍Shoutout to Dumpy, what a big help he has been.
the deck looks amazing ,congratulations on ten years of marriage ,may you have many more
Happy Anniversary 🎉. You’re right time seems to pass by as you get older. Just enjoy everyday together. And don’t use the word older,just use mature. Like a fine wine. And Duffy is a gem.
It seems you two will soon have created two pieces of heavenly utopia between the lake house & the forest house... you never fail to turn whatever you do into a
fantasy come to life!
Oh the value of a trained eye! Seeing the bowing in the joists to know which way to position them…… thank god for Dumpy!
Congrats on ten years of your loving marriage. Best wishes from this Texan Coddiwompler Grandma.
Happy Sunday guys! Happy ten years ❤✌🏽🩵
Thanks Ryan xo
Tyler favorite word "RELAX"😊
Happy Anniversary! It is an honour to watch a stable, happy, married couple doing life. Thank you!
I so totally love, love your deck on your shipping container home!! It's absolutely gorgeous and things are really coming together very nice! Shout out to Dumpy and all of his hard work and all of you together working so hard and perfecting your place! ❤❤ Charlie and Eddie are going to love laying on the new deck and enjoying the new place!!😊❤️🐾❤️🐾
If you take the time now, which you are. You will be so happy, when it is finished. 😊
Congrats on 10 years ( and the other 5) together! Enjoy each year. They go by fast! And things are looking great!
I really enjoy hearing you guys say “we’re going to chill”. You both go full tilt all the time.❤
45 years for us today and it went by in the snap of our fingers. Wishing you some awesome adventures as we’ve enjoyed, the strength and respect earned from figuring things out over the years, and the contentment of a shared life of accomplishments. Wishing you all of this and many more years together. Happy Anniversary.
The aerial view of the container home with the skeleton of the deck looks unbelievable. I sure hope you are both proud of yourselves.
It’s only now you can see the smoothness of the deck to pool and it’s phenomenal…. That deck will be awesome and will give you so much indoor outdoor space… love it ❤
BEAUTIFUL! That "overhead View" near the end of today's video reminds me how magnificent your location is! It is wonderful to see "the beginning of the end" as your deck is being built. Also, Congratulations on your 10th Anniversary! Milestones remind us how precious our time is. As for memories, I can still remember my first day at Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario), which will be, in 3 weeks, 50 years ago! Momentous occasions do stick with us.
Happy Anniversary!!!
😁😆🥳🤗🥰🤗🥰
I hear you guys about the heat. I live in Northern California in the Sierras. All last week we were in the 90’s! That is not normal for the mountains. None of us have air conditioning, because it isn’t normal for it to get so hot!
Time flies when you're having fun.
Yes, time does go by faster as you age!
🎉 10 years! Congrats, guys. ❤🥳
I was picturing Todd having "A soft cry" in the shower 😭😘
All the twists and turns to get here remind me that without the deviations from the norms, progress is not possible.
Just want to say...I absolutely love this perspective!
Hi Tyler and Todd, it may appear so donting now , before you know it you will sit on the deck and enjoying your beautiful home. Hang in there you 2 got this !!!!!!
Congrats to you both for all of your accomplishments!! 15 years together, 10 year anniversary, the progress on the deck and the house!! It's so cool to see the fun you have with each other and how excited you are for the progress that is finally being made. Thank you for another lovely video this week!
One of the great pleasures of life is finding someone in the skilled crafts that you can absolutely count on! It is a Luxurious Perk!
Dumpy is most definitely a luxurious perk! ✨🧡✨
Having been handed so many 'lemons' since all your projects began, I am no longer amazed at how you have turned them into SO many gallons of 'lemonade'! Congratulations on all the progress you've made this year! AND, Happy 10th Anniversary! Love you guys!
I like the adage..."Time flies when you're having fun". You two are so inspiring...
Its amazing how the deck makes this look so much more like a house, instead of just a random collection of shapes. Its going to be beautiful. And happy anniversary!!!💞💥🎉
Time does go by faster as you age. I'm 72, and every day is a blessing.
17:59 our deck at our lake house is everything to me. It’s the length of the house and covered and then there’s a concrete patio below it in the bottom level that’s the same length too. Half of the main deck is screened in and has a TV and a fan and light, I love it. If there’s a rainy weekend, I’d rather drive an hour and a half here and be able to sit outside and read all weekend and listen to the rain that sit at our regular house and be indoors all weekends.
Congratulations on ten years together. Here’s to many more. I’m so glad that you stayed together and that you’re willing to share your journey with us.
I can hardly wait till Sunday comes so I can see what your boys are up to hello from California this is Larry one of your biggest fans
Hi Larry!! Thanks for being here!
Larry it's Like watching a great TV series that leaves you on edge of seat each week. These guys really have endured alot with the container home. I would have been sold for scrap I have no patience
@@RichNDNGuy It's going to be AMAZING when it's finished, that I'm sure of!
@@tylerandtodd most definitely 💯
I'm really pleased you are having a break. Time does fly. I blinked twice and I'm 77. Can't believe that. You are a great couple. Love your videos.
Back again with my favourite guys on Monday morning. So good to start the week with you.
Congratulations fellas!!🥂
I think growing old together is the best thing about marriage. You do it with the most important person in your life! Oh…. Until the kids come along!
Todd's thought bubble request: " I can't believe how big my deck is while sandwiched between all this wood, I'm beaming".😅
Now say that with a Kiwi accent. 😆
@@gblakev 😂😂
Life is always better when you have a Dumpy in your world!
Happy Anniversary!!!!!! So glad you guys found each other! You are building a beautiful home together (and re-energizing your other beautiful home).... Here's to another 10, 20, 30, 40 etc years together :)
Never set low. You guys have achieved so much. Look what you have done. You have wonderful homes to to enjoy ❤
Congratulations on your 10th wedding anniversary!
Your deck will be huge! I like it.
I like that you relaxed into perfectionism whilst leveling the door. This is why your home will be perfect when done.
Congratulations on 10 years married. 🎉❤
I love how everything is coming together , I just can't wait till your beautiful container home is completely done . I could see both of you , relaxing by the fireplace having a glass of wine , listening to music or watching tv , with your beautiful furbies . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Anniversary 🎉🎉 May you have many more years together ❤❤
I’m 76 and and to quote Jessica Tandy in Fried Green Tomatoes “getting to that jumping off place”. Time is so valuable I think that it is not appreciated as such when young.
Happy Anniversary! And Salud to 10 x 10 ahead.
You are correct about time speeding up as you age. I just turned 75 anf I feel like my life was a blink or two😮
You know, with the quality of your videos, you will have a lovely gift in your older years. You'll be able to relive it all, week by week. 💜 Happy Anniversary!
So much determination ! So much work ! Such perseverance ! So many accomplishments ! All this and Wonderful Fur Babies!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤣😄🤪😁❤️🙂😂😅😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
