  • Hi everyone!! Come and check out the new Joint!!
    Over the next few vids we'll show you how we transform this block and shed into a little base camp for our family. We have taken 10 weeks to complete the build and we are stoked with how it's turned out.
    This is part 1: Our first impressions and jobs on the Block!
    We bought this place sight unseen while drinking beers in Exmouth last year. Crazy we know, but we think it's turned out alright!

    It all started when…
    In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 6 years and we are creating a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!

    Hi mate, I just found your video. I live in Scotland, but have been to Oz 5 times. I love the country, the people, and most of all it's nature. After only 20 minutes of this post, I have to say you are going to lead the life that I would love. Although I have been to Sydney, Queensland is where I love with a passion. My last visit 6 years ago, I found relatives in the Glasshouse Mountains and stayed with them for a few weeks before I went off camping. My cuz's had 5 acres including an acre of water (dam). 40 species of birds, 5 species of snakes and a platypus in the pond that they hadn't seen in 4 years, but I did. I will follow your post as you live my dream. Best of luck to you and your family.

    @bushmagpie3312 2 года назад +4

    Great to see you have a different adventure. The 3 acre is great investment, one thing you will find is on property the most important is water, the tank size you have will last a month, you may need a bore to top it up. If your drilling ensure it’s greater than 30M from sewerage and dam. You won’t need to go far for good water. Another is you will need a 15 M perimeter around house with very low scrubs like a fire zone free of trees.( you can have over house just a dead zone).
    Keep grass very low in this zone and you will have minimum snakes and mice. If you have chooks they will come because of feed.
    In the dead zone run a circle of 50mm AG pipe with sprinklers and make sure your generator can run your bore.

    Can't wait to see what you do with your new base. Also looking forward to more "on the road" adventures. It's been amazing watching your three kids growing up. They're so we'll adjusted to your lifestyle. They'll grow up to be good people because of the experiences you've had with them, and your closeness as a family. Lots of love & all the best team. 👍 😀😀

    @seanchristie7150 2 года назад +1

    So many firsts for you all now, be super mindful of run off water, spoon drains are the way to go, love the idea of setting a portion aside for camping, great semi passive income. Agree with the idea of Sea Containers for a cheap build either on the hill or near the shed, stackable n easy to add to with a bit of foresight.
    Looking forward to the progress videos. Suggest a light coloured roof n walls for your colour change, way better for heat reflection. See if you can stock your dam with yabbies or red claw n bass or perch

We have also put in caravan sites, Dunny down the shed etc for mates travelling, have fun guys and enjoy the serenity, ps no Nieghbor’s 🎉

Our biggest roadblock is the fact it's up on the top end of Fraser so there's a lot of pricey trips back and forth with supplies haha. We're also contemplating building something a little nicer on the block in the future too but we're not in any rush. It's hard to decide on what you want to do when there are so many options 😂

    For the off grid power,I would hook up the caravan to the house and then you can do a few more modifications down the track. All the best and have a wonderful week 💖🌸💖🦋🦋🦋
