How did we get here?
in 2019 we moved into an RV full time and started traveling around North America...once traveling started to become less of an option, we got to work converting the RV into fully functioning off grid tiny home that has everything we need, even a little mini wood stove! Realizing that none of us know how long this new normal will stick around, we made the decision that building a home here was the best decision we could make. We've spent the last three years doing EVERYTHING involved with coordinating and planning the build ourselves as well as setting up this off grid property to be able to provide us with the the food we'll need in the future. That led us to needing a place to live while we realized our dream of building a shipping container home. After lots of searching we finally discovered Geodesic Dome's and it was the perfect fit for us while we took our time with the container home...it's been a busy few years!

Just as we were getting up and running with the build again!! 😂It always seems that whenever we are right on the cusp of a big project, something happens to one of us lol. Also - HUGE shoutout to Ty for stepping up and helping out is so many ways over the last week (and still is). He's currently making us dinner right now...lasagna with garlic bread! Smells so good in here right now, wish I could give you a piece. Here's hoping I can get back on my feet and get this build going again next Sunday, hope you have a lovely week xo
The curse of progress!!! ❤ life just has to test, doesn't it! Love you both and as always.. good luck!!
A big bucket 🪣 of ❤LOVE❤. Construction can be dangerous. I’m so glad it didn’t involve a fall from scaffolding! The shipping container house is looking more and more like a HOME every day!
God! every episode the house gets bigger and bigger. It is looking great though!
@@WalkiTalki When we're finished it will be 1,600 square feet (150m2)
Hoping you heal quickly ❤
Todd!!!! That's Tyler's job!! 😆Honestly I've been expecting this. The way you run around at full steam - both of you - I'm very surprised that Todd hasn't gotten hurt before this. I'm just grateful that nothing was broken. As a former dancer, I have bunches of stress fractures in my feet and I'd never wish that on anyone. I'm very impressed with the way the house is coming together. I wasn't getting a good frame of reference for how that upstairs livingroom was going to be, and when I saw the length of it I immediately thought "how the hell are you gonna roof that!?" Of course engineered trusses! It's been 40 years, but my Dad had a couple of projects when we used them. We built our own, and all I remember was how much wood we wasted and how inventive Dad's cursing got. LOL!
Can't wait to see the next steps. I'm so proud of you two for all you've accomplished, and grateful to you for taking me (and all of us) on this journey with you.
Love you bunches!

Well, let's be fair, it was your turn. May you be comfortable and may it not hurt when you laugh. And may you heal speedily and happily.
Been laughing a lot this last week - luckily that injury hasn't affected that 😚
Sending healing prayers ❤for you..both of you work so hard and doing so well on your beautiful new home ..God bless you both your dogs and cat love watching your progress so excited for you both ❤
I love how authentic you folks are. Your hard work, your resting times, your planning, your intuitive actions, your resilience and your willingness to admit to misteps and determination to learn from them.
I watch this with my children to demonstrate how working your wishes in to reality, really is like. I truly appreciate your example in our world. Blessings on your journeys.
Appreciate this more than you know xoxo
So sorry Todd but it WAS your turn to be waited on! Healing Hugs 👍🏼♥️🇨🇦
It is a blessing in disguise that the spiral staircase was rejected. As a pet owner, out babies are going to get old. Speaking from experience, regular stairs are much easier when the puppies, and you two, get older. Been watching you guys since you started the dome build. Love ya guys! Pax vobiscum.
Couldn’t agree with you more ❤
AGREE!
@@tylerandtodd Also when you get old as we hopefully do, putting up a small interior elevator which costs about 3000 dollars is much easier with a standard ish staircase or if you are smart put a built in saxlift outside the build thus saving space and being able to transport bigger furniture as well as wheelchairs….( yes I’m disabled so tend to think about how I would do stuff to allow for changes )
Agree. Spiral is not handy at all.
Agree. Spiral staircases get old really fast.
I LOVE Tyler & Todd! I look forward to seeing them every week!
Me too!❤️
I'm so thankful Todd didn't break his foot! A few spa days and some expert nursing care is just what the doctor ordered. Clara Barton + Florence Nightingale + male caregiver = Clarence Bartongale, RN, TLC. A professional beyond compare! Big hugs to you both....and all the furries.
LOL!!
I love the seed packet notebook! What a brilliant idea. Sorry you were injured, hope you heal quickly.
Did you do that yourself, or can it be bought? If you did it yourself, tell us how, please?
Hope you have a speedy recovery and you have the best husband to take care of you.
Don't rush your foot injury Todd. Feet are important, they get you around.
Tyler's piggybacks have been a really enjoyable mode of transport LOL
@@tylerandtodd 😄
Love my Sunday nights with you both. My husband and I are building a new garage with an apartment and I laugh and cry as I watch you both. You are building your life with such grace, kindness, and love. Thanks for your positive examples.
I'm a transgender woman and I love watching Todd and Tyler, its like watching my family build their best lives together 😊❤
The hot water in the hot tube causes your blood to circulate much faster to places that need healing. So great idea to spend time there. I think sometime we have accidents because our subconscious is telling us we need time out! One of my favorite quotes is “In every adversity there is an equal or greater opportunity “!
I had ceilings that were 14 feet high and was able to put in a one pointed swing( trapeze), it was endless hours of music and dance on a swing, for the children in my care as well as some evening thrills for adults 😜. I had a peaked roof, not slanted, but I encourage you to keep an open mind to this, the children were so fit and many grew and are long distance runners, bikers, skiers…a few are trapeze artists! We created many swinging devices and today there is a plethora of options online…
On another note, I love Tyler’s smile of pleasure, it’s so endearing. And Todd’s eyes when he’s selling mental wellness makes me want to buy in, you two are truly a gift to us! Thanks!
Old lady here with Parkinson's. You both bring me an enormous amount of joy. My passions are self sufficiency and growing vege. A radiologist once explained that even if there was no bone break the same force is absorbed by the soft tissue so treat it like a fracture in terms of how long it takes to heal. By the way I believe that to go back to normal takes months more than we realize. BE CAREFUL and try to anticipate what can go wrong. Love and Joy to you both ❤
Todd's turn!
Your stair turret makes your castle majestic.
You guys have developed some major home/out building/landscaping design skills.
There are flowers that keep pests away from your vegetables. It’s a great blend.
Lucky no fractures. Keep that foot elevated and get a wrap to secure it when you start walking. Chewing B12 can help. Things are moving fast with house and garden. I just potted up my elephant ears and dalihas. Bring on spring.... Take care
There you are! I was thinking, "Well, it's Sunday...where are Tyler & Todd?" I was wondering if you were taking a week off & I spaced it out. Glad for the weekly update!😊 I think you guys aren't going to know what to do when you can finally sit in that living room & just enjoy the view...❤
I think you're right about that, Cindy!
Going on year three of Project Homestead, I'm amazed all the toes, teeth and fingers are still there - on both of you. I miss Charlie/Eddie cameo's....more please. Tes meilleurs jours sont devant toi
Dudes! Cutting onions is simple, if you breath from your mouth, not your nose.
I love you guys SO much.
It’s great that you provide lunch for the crew. Very thoughtful. As always, you are adorable.
Happy Todd didn’t break any bones…this time. I was renovating my old rowhouse in Washington, DC about 15 years ago and a cast iron radiator tipped over and landed on my right big toe and smashed it into 15 pieces. Had I been wearing steel toed shoes, that wouldn’t have happened. Glad you guys are wearing protective footwear. It’s dorky for sure, but better safe than sorry. 😊
Great build. Glad Todd is mending. So nice of you to make chili for the workers.
Sorry you've had a setback Todd, but oh my! You get to play with seeds ❤❤❤ so i'm sure it (almost) makes up for the pain. And yes, flowers MUST go in between vegies because they bring pollinators and the beneficial insects to help keep your plants happy, healthy and producing well. Get better soon.
I still love looking at that beautiful tile backsplash in your lovely kitchen!
No more injuries. wishing you a speedy recovery.
Wow Todd you were so lucky not to have broken your foot. Enjoy your downtime as you still have plenty of time to achieve everything. Love your videos.
It's good to see you guys have open-minded and friendly contractors in rural east coast especially with everything going on lately. I know we seem to have some hit and miss ones around here in rural Ontario...every time we just think: money is money, do you want ours or not?!
Oh, no, so sorry you hurt your foot! Hopefully it will heal in a matter of weeks rather then months!
Please make sure you don’t put you peet moss pod net, that holds them together in your compost. Pretty sure they are some form of plastic. They do not break down. I made this mistake, and had to pick them all out, not fun. In the fall when you take out plants to put in the compost, rip the bag open and put the outer net in the garbage. Maybe next time fill your trays with dirt or something biodegradable.
Happy healing Todd!
Quote of the week… ‘But bottles are glass’ ❤
So great to have each other....You both are sweet people and a pleasure to hang out with💝💝
I absolutely love the poem on seed album! I have a bed in a community garden, and we very sadly lost our chairman, mentor and friend in December. Davie did so much for all of us, and we miss him so much. But I love this idea, and I may steal it and personalise it with some added "words from Davie", which are not suitable for RUclips 😂
But I do love it, and all the things you guys shows us how to do, and the boys, and squirrel and all of it. Love you two ❤️
The build is looking amazing!! I am glad your injury is healing quickly. Take care!!!
Just when things are going good and at a good pace something happens to mess everything up. I hope you are feeling better by now. Keep that foot wrapped for a while after it feels good. Sprains are worse than breaks sometimes. I slipped on the ice in my driveway 2 years ago and sprained not one but both my ankles and my shoulder. It was awful!!! Take care my RUclips friends.
first! right on time to watch you guys with the boyfriend as part of our sunday ritual!
Praying for your healing.
OMG!! How frightening. I just adore the two of you. Keep up the great work, but safely. Listen to your bodies. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys should build an underground cold cellar. You could make batches of chilli etc. and pull out when needed :)
Hey guys! In a nod to the future, that stairwell looks large enough to be converted to a elevator shaft when necessary. Your entire house looks easily able to become handicapped accessible. Be careful guys..accidents do happen when you least expect it.
Red onion. Nice to see its return to video.🙃🌺💛
Hoping by now you're fully recovered and that your both feeling stress free. Lovins to "the kids."
Hope your better now. I broke my foot had it in a cast for three months. I know what it feels like. No fun. Get back on your feet fast, but give it enough time to heal. ❄️💜❄️
That's going to be quite a house. Can't wait til it's finished. I can't imagine how you feel. Hope Todd's foot heals quick!
Todd - very sorry that you injured your foot. Glad it didn't get broken. And what a cute nurse to have, helping you heal up (wish all my nurses were so cute to look at). The house build is getting exciting. And it's great that you are cooking the crew a delicious-looking lunch each day. Hope you heal up quickly - any injury is no fun at all. Love to all.
You two are doing very well. I pray you have or soon shall install interior fire alarms and sprinklers> Do it guys!!
Love kicking back watching both of you. You work and live and make it look so easy. Even when life throws you take in and keep going. Truly inspirational to watch. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.
Thanks Todd and Tyler for a great Video. It’s great o get yourselves energised and fully recovered as you both have so much yo do in the coming weeks. At least Todd could do a bit of recovery now until then. Wow! I must say it’s been fun having to watch your videos for years and years and both of you are hard at work growing a future home for you and your family. Enjoy guys and can’t wait to see you both next Sunday. Love you guys from down under. Sydney, Australia. 🥰🥰👍
That chilli looks delicious and beautiful. Could you share the recipe? I’d love to try it. Poor old Todd. How frustrating as well as sore. But how fascinating to watch the prep and building of the roof on your turret. (Will you have a machine gun emplacement on it? 🤣🤣) Glad to see Charlie embracing his supervisory role so seriously. And frankly, a LOT of people plant their seeds in bed … 😜
Thank goodness Todd's foot is safe. Tyler you have been really very good at supporting Todd in these days of recovery and carrying on with the other things for the house. Your love is so tangible ❤ It is observed by the small gestures that you have for each other, like a comforting word, a caress, a smile, just a look. But all these gestures are never small, they are precious and extraordinary as you are ✨
Sending love, see you soon 💗🙂😘
Well, you young men probably needed a little break. Granny Gladys really looks forward to your post ever Sunday!
I have worked with scaffolding. Tyler is amazingly lucky not to have broken anything.
Love how you find a way to remain productive in spite of the recovery requirements. 🌈❤🧡💛💚💙💜🌈
HELLO YOU TWO GENTLEMEN. Todd I am so sorry that you got hurt, It is just Karma saying slow down and live a little slower for a while so you can reflect on what wonderful things you have accomplished. Get well soon. I look forward to each Sunday to see you and I consider you two as special friends. My good wishes for a speedy recovery.
When you guys show up, my life is complete. Love you both
I'm so sorry that happened to you but remember the greater the obstacle means the greater the glory in overcoming it. Wish you the best.❤❤❤
Who’s kidding who? That wine helped put the kibosh on the seed planting 😂. The house is going to be amazing, so thank you for bringing us along!
Have a look at companion planting ,,,,,, some marigolds with the veggies,,,,
Love the progress bummer for the injury Rest and TLC and you will be Better just be super careful not to hurt your self again! take it slow (and wear ankle support shoes!) Glad you have a great helper to keep you motivated to heal!!
"Who plants their seeds in bed?" Uhm... many of us. Knowing look on Tyler's face is precious. 😁
I had a Lesbian therapist - it makes a difference for sure when they understand your life. Great video - rest and recover.
i can't believe the missed opportunity of "seed planting in bed" Innuendo. guess foot injuries and wine made that one go right over the head. the build is looking amazing, so excited to see it when its all done.
Healing kisses on Todd's foot!!! Sending more of that love energy.❤
Mixing in flowers with your fruits and veggies is a great idea! The bees, our precious pollinators, will love it❣️ Looking forward to seeing your amazing crops this year!!
LOL...Thanks for the innuendos while gardening ! to funny!!😂
Hi Debbie from Down Under. Have been watching for about a year. You guys are great. Not sure if anyone has commented on how to put up ceilings if too high. When I was young my dad renovated our house. If we didn't have enough hight. To put the sheets up. What he did was screw 2 pieces of timber together in the shape of a T. After he lifted 1 end up a bit. My brother and I would lift a T up each to hold the sheet in place . It was slave labour 🙄 best wishes for the rest of the build.🏠
Get some well deserved rest Todd!! Love You Guys!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
Hello from my hospital bed! I am so sorry you got injured but so grateful nothing was broken. I’ll be off my feet for I don’t know how long. Hope my husband is as patient as you! ❤️
Your build of your home is spectacular. Love the roof line
Todd, if you wanted couple days rest should’ve just said lol don’t go injuring yourself 😂😂 no seriously hope you’re feeling better and Tyler is still looking after you!
The house is looking sooooooooo good, so excited for you.
Sending much love and extra hugs for Todd as always ❤️❤️❤️
Sorry guys, been away for awhile. Glad Todd is feeling better. Everything is lookin great! Stay safe!
I’m so glad that the bones in Todd’s arch didn’t get broken. Continued health to both of you
He’s very lucky. I broke mine when I was 11 ish and I was off my foot for 4 months!
I am so glad to hear that your foot was not broken. I also wanted to say I am so happy I am not the only one who pictures where the Christmas tree will go when I walk into a new space.
Being a a partner is the key to success. You’re both each other partners and that must be comforting to have someone who you can rely on and who can expect the same energy from you. Last year he was ill and you were right there now he’s returning the same energy. Love you both!!!
If your taking votes then a tiny house village would be so great. Can't believe how fast the build is going up now. All that and a nasty foot injury, plus gardening in bed with wine! The seed book is great makes the garden more than a dream after a cold snowy winter. Peace hope and love
Sorry to hear about your foot. I can’t believe all the progress you guys are making. Can’t wait to see it completed. You have a great channel! Keep the episodes coming and hello from NYC. 👋
You know it's Sunday, when Tyler and Todd are on our screens. Having my pizza and going to watch the vlog. Love you guys, God bless 🙌 🤗❤️👍
Don’t you say that every week?😂
@@oldstuffbethtx8052 And?
I’m eating pizza and watching too❤
@@oldstuffbethtx8052 So what? It makes him happy. 🤷🏼♀️
@@truckingwithtobee Nice love Pizza, sending you love from Vancouver BC Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️🤗👍
Am so proud of you guys. Am thankful that no bones were broken
Hope you have a speedy recovery Todd 😀 Great to see you are both making progress on the container build, looks great. Take care both of you. 🥰
I can so relate to getting injured at the worst times possible 🤣😂😂🤣 Another great episode!!!!
I absolutely love this channel and I live for Sunday videos.
I’m watching the vlogs during the weekend and it’s really cold out and I keep falling asleep, so that’s why they might feel out of sequence.
Glad your foot is doing better. Take care you two, no more injuries! ❤️🙏❤️🙏
You hurt your leg. Some people will do anything to get out of work! 🤩
Mr. Kim and Mr. Doug (married now and together for 50 years!) 10:23
Have a speedy recovery.
I would love to see an overall picture of what your house looks like now. Plus what the stairs will look like in the tower. 😘
Hope the foot heal fast stay well and god bless you both with great health from now on keep smiling.
Sending healing thoughts and positive vibes for a speedy recovery!! ❤
You two never fail to bring a smile to my face. Sorry to see you injured, Todd, but it just highlights what a beautiful relationship you two have with Tyler looking after you so lovingly. You two are so precious. Can’t wait to watch the progress of your new home and continuing with your garden 🥰🥰
Good that nothing broke. Shit happens. It reminds you you're not Superman but instead a mere mortal, and you need to take it easy sometimes. No point in building an upstairs if you can't get up there. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Recover fast Todd. But we could see more of the boys. I love the family moments. Love, boys
Glad you're getting better, Todd! May you both be injury-free for a long time. The home is really coming together! Pace and consistency throughout your journey :)
At .50 seconds I cringed at using boards under staging that high as they always tend to walk a bit as you use them. They make feet for those or in a pinch drill a hole in the board for the bottom pole to fit into and nail it. You guys are just an amazing couple.
Exactly, no more injuries! Glad you are healing well.
Bring on the veggies !! Build looks amazing xxx
Take care of each other! You guys are an inspiration to the world!!!
The trusses look great - awesome progress! And heck yes I am totally stealing your idea of keeping my seed packets in an album!! 🤓Also, please have a look at 'companion planting' your veggies and flowers... so much fun to nerd out on this. Your garden will thrive even more I promise... you will bring in beneficial bugs and keep away the bugs you don't want... and certain plants just do better next to each other. 🌱🫶 Feel better soon Todd!
Love watching your channel. Intrigued that you created an entirely new plan for the staircase and it's well on the way to being done.
Telemedicine can be very helpful.
Glad Todd's injury was minor. Are you going to buy more safety equipment: safety harnesses, boot covers, etc.?
Oh geez! I can imagine how hard it is to "relax". The construction was enjoyable to watch. You guys are always inspiring, I want to plant something, but not in bed...LOL!!
You always have the perfect music. Best choices. I love it!
