We only have 5.5 acres of timber. We cleared about a 1/2 acre that we built on and gardened. The rest of the land we kept wild. Birds and animals love it. Just because you have the land doesn’t mean you have to build on it. The sounds of the wild is nice. Of course we don’t have any industries close by. 😊
Love all These videos by Katie and Greg ♥️♥️
Great job guys, I finally see someone working safely. Too often, you see movies of people doing things without worrying about the accidents that can happen 👍👍👍
Not safe. A harness must be worn and attached as close as possible to help save you breaking your leg, back, neck, shoulder, arm.... or killing you.
you must be new. As much as i love these 2, seldom do i see safety glasses, ear muffs all while using chainsaws ect. Me an old furniture builder with 7 fingers
I love your teamwork and industriousness. It's been fun watching you build your life together!
I love you guys approach to off grid living style spot on with no BS 😁
I love you guys. You are beautiful. You work so well together. It's obvious that you truly love each other. Many of my very best friends in my life are dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits and I love the way you treat your animal friends. I wish you a along and happy life together!!!
Thank you Greg and Katie. I wasn't sure if my message was sent. I'm still trying to figure out this android phone. I look forward to seeing every new episode of your progress in reaching your off grid goals on U tube.
Wherever you decide to put the green-house you need sunshine and be able to access it in the snow easily. So.. unless you fix the road I wouldn’t put the greenhouse down there. Nice video and beautiful property! I know Katie is strong but I was too and hurt my back trying to do to much around my property at a young age. So.. please continue to be cautious Katie ( a bad back ruins all your outdoor fun).🙏🙏🙏 Blessings, Laura
You two should be very proud of everything you have accomplished .........WOW !
Zip line from top to the lower yard and a retractor systems to pull you back up to the top
I'm so pleased you guys are getting sponsored by people now. You both deserve recognition for what you're trying to achieve. More people should take a leaf out of your book. As always wishing you all the best from Liverpool UK 🇬🇧 😊
Glad they are making it work.
Great video Greg and Katie
Nice video, again :) For the record though, solar panels in series adds the voltage and keeps the amperage. Parallel adds the amperage and keeps the voltage. There are some other rules to have in mind too when You mix solar panels with different values too. But most important is to not exceed the numbers for what type of solar charger You have to the batteries (in the solar generator). For instance If it has a charger that can handle 120 volts, don't connect more than 4 panels in series that can produce 30 volts. And if You have a charger than can handle 20 amps, don't connect more panels than that in parallel. You can also combine several panels in both series and parallel for maximum effect for your charger. For example if You have 4 panels, connect 2 and 2 in series and both those in parallel.
If the road down to the lower property wasn’t so difficult that would have been a great place for your cabin build? What a view you would have had
Of All the RUclips posts I've seen / Like You - 2 - the Best ... The environment You face is Daunting ... I see responsibility / concern in what You are trying to accomplish ... Been through the Home building process several times & Many remodels , get as much advice from experienced people as you can , pick the Best option ... We live in Cold / Wet country here in the Pacific Northwest , use weather paper & good Sealant when You can / try to use stain with linseed oil / other treatment when you can ... Staying Out of Debt is Primary , Good Luck ... ... Debt is Not Equity ... Debt Has its Limits ...
use to live in the n west got to left for us and moved love the county but BS was to much be happy and good luck
I have recently came across you guy's channel. I have a passion for the Pacific Northwest and really enjoy all of your videos. Keep up the good work !!
Much love from the Ozarks !!
I have been watching lots of you tube since COVID started. Your house,that your building, has got to be one of the best looking that I’ve seen. Hope your able to be in and warm this winter coming.. good luck.
Lol, I think covid made youtube couch potatoes out of a lot of us!
Steel roof also great for not burning. You are lucky and resourceful and environmentally wise to use what is left over from other sites.
A portable winch would have been really helpful to lift quickly all the sheets
Make the road wider number 1 need to get rocks out of creek put on your road to keep from being so muddy and slick so y'all can go easy when you need to.
You could always terrace the hill like they do in Europe, would open up a lot more options for you
Greg it's time you sold tthe tractor and bought a Cat D7 or D8 with the biggest blade you can find for pushing trees offer and digging out the stumps etc. then you push the dirt down to make your Bench much Bigger. First you should learn all about them to see which one is best for you to buy a good used one, way to expensive to buy New or rent one.
Peter
She is very strong, with all that building quite an asset.
SOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU GUYS TIED UP
That bluetti is incredible and you guys put your house together so fast😁
Good to see all the progress 👍!! Nice work yall ....... 👏 👍 💪 👌 😀

Have the same Bluetti set up for home backup. Love it!
You two are terrific! Nothing like hard work to make you feel that sense of accomplishment. 👍😄
the roof looks good..Bravo
Beautiful Katie!
amazing product. will try to get one for sure
You two are awesome! Great transformation! Loved the Blue Etti solar panels review helpful and love the animals!
You guys make it look easy! I know alot more goes into it plus all the video editing, and both working full time. Can't wait for the housewarming party!
They are getting close!
Really nice roof, absolutely huge shop!!!
Always impressed, great job!
Wow, I see LOTS of lumber for future projects !!!
t would make your channel more appealing if you would tell us what State , country or region you are in.
You guys are amazing, wonderful job 👍
Great job. You nailed it.
Reminds Me Of The Mountains In Cali. Where I Grew Up..Beautiful , Setting..
Thank You.
GOOD FOR U ALL NICE JOB AND INFO
I would get a atv for that road down to other end of your property. And for use of the lower section. Leave it as is, maybe add more solar panels thou.
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
Great episode lots of info
You got a nice smile but sometimes look like you're scared trying to something the first time but just take your time and hey he's teaching you all all he can you know just take one step at a time you're doing great just don't rush just take your time you're not in a hurry I know you want to get it done before the rain and the snow but take your time you guys God bless you Fremont California
A music area would be sick!
I'd love for him to have time to create more music. When he was younger he created a piece that caused me such immediate peace. He's my hero.
A a shout out to your company what a great place to work fir.
Pretty cool🥰 loving your way in your things💫💖
I agree about Bluetti. I've really been satisfied with my solgen as well.
We went with a Schneider System from Northern Arizona Wind and Sun.
Super job guys. I am so jealous. Lots of love from Ireland x
a still and grow operation
It looking great...
good job u2!... i like that roof!...Arrowsmith is white today...thanks 4 video. be kind.
Watching from Ontario canada. Love watching your progress
Thank you
Beautifully done yeah team work 💪👷.
Think about storing left over pieces (covered and standing) so they do not spoil and are easy to grab.as needed.
Seeing how it's already noisy I would totally put in a work shop And hell why not even a music Studio/ Shack LOL. A solar field I mean the possibilities are endless a garden greenhouse and farming lots of little creatures. Whatever it is I'm totally down to watch whatever you guys do. Hope you guys have a good rest of your week looking forward for more videos and can't wait to buy one of them hats and hoodies.
Thanks for the support 😊
The roof is turning out great! Thanks for the harnesses! Will you be doing rain catchment off either levels? I think it be a great setup for it. Anyways, awesome job! Love ya'll ❤
I really love your channel. I'm glad I found it. I also subscribed.
The roof means another thing ticked off from things to do. I know you have to put trim along the top edge but every little helps, Oh and good driving down that narrow track.
Is that your road ? Wow
Awesome!!!
Looks great guys. Enjoy ur weekend❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes I agree, looks great!
Green house!
such a skillfull roofer ken from kent england
Happy Halloween, and a taste clicken 🎃🎃
Very Nice
Congratulations on your 100 year roof. No worries about leaks with that
Wish we could have done the same but didn't have the equipment too.
Soooo! your going to start a roofing business huh!.... Glad to see you guys got that roofing done. Wow great job.
It's hard work for sure.
So nice ! 👍👍 In the opening that rooster looked like a cross between a hawk ( the head) & the body of a rooster. 🤔😆 silly me. That’s going to be one beautiful cabin when finished. Thank You for sharing.
Roosters are so cool! I wish they produced eggs so I could keep them all 🤣
Excellent job,& very carefully done.💯❤️👍🏾😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Hey !!! You have a roooof !!! ☝️
Good job 👍
You guys might need to get rid of some of those trees, because it can be danger to the house too
that industrial roof being raised off the sheathing might even be fire proof during a wildfire !!
I say you on keeping it Dutch but I was already subscribed good luck love your channel
You all's property is so beautiful 😍 I would do music or farm animals if your able to get to them. Amazing with the solar
Thank you 😊
Great spot for a Granny flat! 😁
A duplex!
You really need a small bulldozer to work on many things up there, like the roads and land projects.
absolutely!
Stid steer has worked well for us.
here is my thougt yes it is noic but think about having to get there in the winter
nice that you have an industrial roof kudos but you still haven't finished the last panel on the privacy fence 22:42 in video we are paying attention LOL
So much to doooooooo
Roof looks great. I like that metal roofing system. I have a question. Is that enough pitch to handle the snow you will get? Or is the roof structure beefed up enough to handle it? Thanks.
Pardon my ignorance, we don't see many private builds in the UK especially built of lumber.We normally use bricks or breeze blocks with a double wall or cavity wall.Why that shape of metal roofing panels instead of the normal.
They are in a fire pron area so a metal roof is a must. Standing Seam on a single slope is very simple design.
After 25 years I still struggle with those body harnesses, and the guy who used it before me was 8 inches shorter 😅
Is Greg related to the chap on ambition strikes as he’s a spitting image?
music loop tracks are MIND NUMBING. ALAS
I believe I remember you running cable up to your home from your big solar panels, how much power loss do you have in that long of a cable ?
FYI.... The amps and volts of a solar panel array can be affected by how the individual solar panels are wired together.
Solar Panels in Series INCREASES Voltage
Solar Panels wired in Parallel INCREASES Amperage
But I enjoy watching you guys build your home!
Put up 48 panels on our build and definitely have to learn as you go. There is a lot to take in.

You got the series/parallel explanation backwards, meh. :-) Great work, so cool!
Thanks for the video. I'm kinda dumbfounded as the SP200 cost as much as the old PV200 panels. What gives?
What can you build on the side of a hill? not much I see its hard to get down there to your other property.
Very impressed with what you've accomplished. I have one question that may not be answerable: what is your contingency plan in the event of a medical emergency?
Nice break system...lucky to make your own drip edge, etc. you saved a ton of money for sure. What is the gauge on your roof panels?? Is it 24 gauge? Very nice install and it looks GREAT!!! God's blessings to you all.
24 gauge!
Need to get you guys more sponsorship…you deserve it…. Kubota, John Deere. Keep plugging away!
I wouldn’t want to come down that narrow road after a good rain?
Now, there's a trail one wouldn't want to travel every day unless you had a horse lol.
Looks good guys, what’s left to get you dried in?
windows! They just arrive at the warehouse yesterday, finally!
You saved a lot of bucks on the roofing, it looks very durable. I watch several homesteaders that like the Bluetti. What is the little dish on the roof?
Starlink internet
Doubled your voltage not amps 👍🏻
I always get that backwards
