You two are the embodiment of letting the river of life take you where it may. Your journey has wandered around the globe and even though you now have a destination to stay, you will continue to grow and touch lives with the infectious love of life you two possess. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. As always,stay safe and love ya!
Ya know sometimes you just have to let that Astro van point wherever it wants to drive and follow it :) We feel inspired right now to create and share with amazing people like you. As always bud your support means the world. Love ya
You will love it! I have lived in my 14x28 for 5 years. I do not regret one single day. Oh, and I by choice do not have running water. I love the rain water idea. I have electricity. I have everything I need to be comfortable and at home!
That is so awesome! Love to hear about other people doing this as well. The biggest things we learned from van and bus life is to just live within your means and do what you need to feel comfortable and content. Than just start filling your space with happiness and love!
This means a lot! We have worked so very hard to get here and learned so many lessons along the way. Cheers to hard work and a cold beer after it is all over haha :)
I delivered all four of my children without a doctor or a midwife and I never asked permission! Everyone tried to convince me that I didn’t have a right to do that, and that if things went wrong, I would surely go to prison, but I trusted God and not the government and it worked out so well we decided to homeschool! Now my kids are all grown and are doing exceptionally well compared to what the average is, I call them all wealthy! They all picked up on my work ethics and they all Love the Lord!
Well done you, I wish I had come to the truth so I could have done the same with my children. But I woke up in 2004 my children were already jabbed and gone through indoctrination by then. But better late than never.
I also live in Tennessee. I also bought a tiny house. And let me tell you, the first thing you're gonna want to do is insulate. I used rock wool. And do yourself a big favor and insulate your floor. I haven't done that yet. And it's bloody cold in the wintertime. I wish you lots to luck with your cabin. Mine is a 12 by 28, and I love it.😊
Yes insulation is sooo important and we know all about cold floors living in a van and a bus for the last 3 year haha. We invested in really good slippers lol. Would love to see your little cabin :)
@@RunawayMattCassI like the idea of spray foam insulation, but not sure of how it would work in Tennessee. I have heard of issues with moisture being trapped. We are a lot colder and more arid I have not used any , my house is insulated concrete forms . We do have issues with condensation building up anywhere that batts or blown in rock wool has air gaps , then mold grows
@@noworriesmate5903 Well not where I live. Around here people don't put up with county bull like that. Neither does the Sheriff. We have county people pulling stunts or misuse of power, we remove them. Pretty much most counties in our state are like that.. of course, like all states we have those two counties and cities where hell reigns now but for the most part, they don't control what we do.
I just happened upon your channel, and it made me smile. Cass has the most pleasant smile and presence. I’ll look forward to following you thru your journey. Peace and blessings to you both.
I'm an 83 yr old stooge and I must say you two are the most delightful couple I think I've ever seen. Have a wonderful life together, but I know you will. 😃😃
Good luck, and I hope you can keep it. A lot of people are being kicked off their property even in Tennessee. Just the other day some off-grid people were kicked off their property for not meeting the codes and nearby townspeople gave them a hard time. Posting on RUclips makes it hard to hide what you are doing and not everyone will be supportive of you guys. Freedom is dying.
Saw the same video - Amish built was disallowed in a certain area as installed and pre construction were both considered problems for another couple - similar story w difficult ending - hope all is well in this case!
How you solve this? When you BUY or inherit property...get it in a LAND PATENT... NO property TAXES and the government can NOT put a LIEN on it either. Simple to do. Doesn't take a fake attorney either.
Some get around this by disassembling it, and putting it back together themselves. Forget the legal reasons it makes it now “legal” but anyways, look it up if you run into this issue.
@@johndouai4833 Unlikely to work, the US supreme court said this about land patents. "We hold the true principle to be this, that whenever the question in any court, state or federal, is whether a title to land which had once been the property of the United States has passed, that question must be resolved by the laws of the United States; but that whenever, according to those laws, the title shall have passed, then that property, like all other property in the state, is subject to state legislation, so far as that legislation is consistent with the admission that the title passed and vested according to the laws of the United States."
HEY! ViWin TEC Windows!!! NICE!!! I was the Production Supervisor at that plant for a few years. It's a family-owned operation in Paducah KY. I appreciate the time there and thank the Brown family for the experience and allowing me to draw unemployment when I departed to finish my degree at Murray State University.
I had the bigger size building delivered to my rural home surrounded by huge trees and on a slope, The delivery guy had to maneuver it for about 30 minutes between the trees and set it. Your building looks great! You made a good choice. Happy days ahead.
Wow that sounds like a dream spot for one! We hope you enjoy every minute of it. Our favorite part on ours is how the light hits it at different times of the day bringing out different colors in the wood. Thanks for watching and we hope you hang around for more of the adventure!
Just found your channel. Love it, and happy for the two of you. I'd pay good money to have half the energy and happiness that Cass seems to have. Congrats ya'll.
haha happy to have you here bud. Cass has lots of energy even at 5am when we get up to start the work day here at the ranch. Hope to see you on the next video :)
Ok... I stopped for a couple of minutes as you came and sat down on your new front porch. This is my first time seeing you guys and I have to say... I love you guys... and Cass's excitement is soooo incredibly infectious! Congratulations!!
Congratulations on your tiny home adventure! You two are awesome! So glad we found your channel and look forward to seeing your dreams come to light. God bless you both and keep you in His loving care.😁
Secret poison ivy death wheel alerted to it too but if I get it on me. I know that if I take dawn soap just wash and soap and wash it off immediately, I keep it with me and just rub it on me. It kills the oils and you can wash them off and not have any problem. I've found that I've never even got it because of dawn soap.
I saw the TN Highway Patrol and was like "Someone getting their rig inspected." It was really cool of him to allow it to be delivered because if the driver had any big issues with the truck or trailer, it would have been towed off. That cabin would be sitting in an impound lot to this day.
Suggestion for alge control, remove the IBC totes from the cages. Rough sand them, then paint them & return to the cages. If you don't sand them, paint will not stick for very long & will start flaking off. This is coming from experience. Good luck in your new adventure.
Yes thanks so much for the knowledge! We actually bought covers for them so we shouldn't have an alge problem. They were kinda pricey though so next time we might just paint lol. Thanks for watching, hope you stick around for the journey.
We are retiring soon not sure what we are going to do, I am starting to see some of the home owner's nightmares on many youtube videos, thanks for posting this Video .
I just discovered your channel and I gotta say I love your guy's energy 💞. Can't wait to see how your Homestead story unfolds! Warm regards - Rose from Pawprints Pastures😢
Hey Rose :) So happy you found our little slice of the internet haha. Keeping things fun, light, and creative as we take on this huge project. Thanks so much for being here :)
Wow.... I've always wanted to get away from the rat race but always found out that the rats are one step ahead. Your energy and enthusiasm is so amazing. May God richly bless you both.
Absolutely love what you two are creating, I sat and watched as if I was tagging along with you guys on a exciting journey, thanks for sharing, be safe and stay blessed!!
Hey guys a thought for you. In Tennessee you can live In a travel trailer on your land tomy knowledge as long as the wheels are attached they aren't considered a living structure. If the wheels are on it you don't pay property tax on the trailer as long as you live in it. Just a. Thought, God Bless you both.
Congratulations! I love the whole concept of living in the smaller house with lots of acres. I will be doing the same thing here soon. You both deserve the best and God bless both of you.
Heyyy Bud... Thanks so much for your support we try and keep things light and energetic as much as we can sometimes you gotta just role with it lol. Little by little this place is coming to life :)
That moment is everything. Right after it all settles down and its just like wow we are doing this :) So very happy to have you here for this wild ride with us! Welcome to the fam
Thank you for sharing your video. I WISH I would have done something like this when I wasn't 59 years old!! Lol! I DO look at property in Tennessee often. I have 2 nephews there and some of the areas that they hike are magnificent!! Beautiful, beautiful country! Congrats to the both of you.
It can for sure be hard on the body lol. Matt and I love this area so much. Everyday we are filled with so much joy being here ;) Hope you stick around for the ride
Like any municipality, you can't just build up or place on a property certain sized structures without having a Building Permit to do so. So in some small County area, the police might show up after the Sales location informs City Hall, ---> you bought a structure of a specific size requiring a Building Permit in advance to delivery.
There are about 7 states in the country that have counties without building permits, Tennessee being one of them. Where we are located, we do not need building permits with the exception of septic and electrical (if plugging into the grid)
@@RunawayMattCassHmmm... it's February 2024 and this is the third video I've watched...the first was y'all finding out the bad news about The Gubment not liking your set up... Good to know these things as been considering relocating from Idaho to Tennessee. Good wishes to you!
If your astro van ever gets the major oil leak my 1999 astro did i was leakinbg a qt of oil every 3 miles . i fixed mine myself inside the oil filter housing their is a rubber O Ring and a paper gasket also a gasket on the oil filter line. i boiled the filter housing 2.5 house to get the inside 100 percent clean. put it all back togeather not 1 drio leaks no leaking at all. my astro has 326k miles
you really only need to enclose the bathroom. Just leave everything else just Open concept. and Really the Bathroom Only needs a toilet and a Shower only. Use the Kitchen Sink to Wash Hands to Save on the Limited amount of space
If the cmu blocks are sitting in the dirt with the holes on the dirt, there's not enough surface area to keep them from sinking. Every time it rains, the house will sink more. Collecting rain from the roof is smart but having trees over head tends to drop debris. Just a couple things to consider and enjoy the process.
SWITZERLAND here! If you can fix a rain gutter to the roof, you can collect rain water by placing 4 rain barrels, 1 at each corner! Or a gutter with drain pipe which leads to a big barrel nearby. Greetings and good success! God bless you richly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@RunawayMattCassGreat! I forgot to say that over here we are used to cover the barrel with a piece of grid, coarse mesh, and with a weight/a big stone is OK, to keep it in place, so squirrels and birds can not fall in the water. They want to drink but they often fall inside. Have a good time!
are you guys at all concerned about rain washing out under that blocking u have setup there? since its on a hill like that, i would imagine run off just eroding whatsunder those blocks until its not stable. May want to look into something more permanent like posts or something, but thats one beautiful tiny house
Happy to have you here! Thanks so much. We have found a gem of a land that really spoke to us and now it is slowly coming to life :) Hope you join for the fun!
I did that same size without the porch on some property up north in Michigan here but just the shell with French doors no windows and later put windows in where I wanted them. Enjoy and be Safe.
That sounds awesome! We have only heard great things about Michigan hoping to take our van up there sometime in the summers when it is too hot here lol! Thanks for watching! Hope to see ya around here again!
I just subscribed to you your channel is awesome I like that building that's cool I could live in that I'll be watching more of this Stay safe stay healthy and we'll catch another one
Just found yalls (youn's) channel. Im 3.5 yrs now from starting from scratch in East Tn. Did it with a family of 7. Cleared and built everything with the children. Curious to know what county yall ended up in? . East Tennessee is a beautiful place that never gets old. Moved from Tx. And I'll never go back. Living life the way you see fit is the best way to live it. Dont let anyone stop you. There's always a way to make it happen for yourself. These people and many others like myself have proven that to be true. Its hard work . But its worth it
The DOT suck ass. That's why I sold out . No more commercial vehicles for me. Great video. I'm off grid out west of Nashville so love every minute of it. The wife has since left and it is just as magical. Keep up the dream it is definitely worth it.
@@RunawayMattCass definitely, I would love to share with you your new adventure! New big ideas,new discoveries,and keep following your dreams! Love you both 😘
The Bible says: "despise not the day of small things!" God bless you two!
The lord has nothing do with anything stop the bs
This man is lucky to have a woman that is happy with what you have and not what social media says a woman should happy with ..
We always knew we wanted to live a bit differently :) Finding happiness in a slow simple life
You can get Guinea fowl to help with the ticks 😀
We are actually considering it! Hahaha
You two are the embodiment of letting the river of life take you where it may. Your journey has wandered around the globe and even though you now have a destination to stay, you will continue to grow and touch lives with the infectious love of life you two possess. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. As always,stay safe and love ya!

Tennessee has beautiful country!👍
Nothing is more satisfying than clearing land for your new homestead ❤
You weren’t homeless. Just houseless. Not anymore. Glad I found your channel.
So happy to have you here! And we totally agree! Our little van is still the coziest little home :)
Wow that sounds like a deal!
Why didn’t you build it? Bust out a generator and some saws and get lumber delivered! That’s what I would have done.
You will love it! I have lived in my 14x28 for 5 years. I do not regret one single day. Oh, and I by choice do not have running water. I love the rain water idea. I have electricity. I have everything I need to be comfortable and at home!
That is so awesome! Love to hear about other people doing this as well. The biggest things we learned from van and bus life is to just live within your means and do what you need to feel comfortable and content. Than just start filling your space with happiness and love!

Well done you, I wish I had come to the truth so I could have done the same with my children. But I woke up in 2004 my children were already jabbed and gone through indoctrination by then. But better late than never.
Indoctrination whether be religious or otherwise is indoctrination none the less.
But, do they have gender confusion, talking about all sorts of non-binary gender roles? If not you're a terrible person that raised them all wrong.
The truck's name is ...A2B..!!!!!
The jab is your damn fault!!

Surely you know using those tanks for catching rainwater you need to paint them black to keep from growing fungus in your water right?
He was really trying to find something. Olives in East Tennessee, and that's par for the course....$$$$$$$$$$ ! you got it!
I just love your genuine energy , it is so infectious. Thank you for letting come along for the ride .
Appreciate you so much! Happy to have amazing people like you following us!
Put up a gate to keep the county out . Also post yiur property with no trespassing signs !
The government will still come in to evict them and say the cabin is unliveable according to state and county laws.
@@noworriesmate5903 Not without probable cause AND a warrant.

That driver is awesome. My wife says that I drive in reverse better than most drive straight. So I appreciate his skill.
hahah :) Ya he did a great job!

I saw the TN Highway Patrol and was like "Someone getting their rig inspected." It was really cool of him to allow it to be delivered because if the driver had any big issues with the truck or trailer, it would have been towed off. That cabin would be sitting in an impound lot to this day.
building a dream with your own hands is the most satisfying thing you will ever do..
Couldn't agree more!!
Love y’all’s energy. I’ll be back to see what y’all been up to. So far you’re rocking it.
Take care and be safe.
Appreciate you Becky! We try and put out as much good energy as we can.... even when things get hard :) Looking forward to having you here for it!
Exciting! Can't wait to see more work done on the interior.
Thanks!! Little by little, we will get this cabin liveable 👋 thanks for joining the journey!
Suggestion for alge control, remove the IBC totes from the cages. Rough sand them, then paint them & return to the cages. If you don't sand them, paint will not stick for very long & will start flaking off. This is coming from experience. Good luck in your new adventure.

Appreciate you always Catherine! We are always getting into something haha
How exciting 🎉

Thank you! Slowly but surely creating our own little oasis here :)
The cabin is so nice!! 😍
Thanks brotha! We love it 😍
Wow! That cabin looks awesome! Cant wait to see how you build it out.
Thanks so much! We are so happy with it. Now the fun/ hard work begins 😆
Those 5.3’s are damn near bulletproof with routine maintenance 👍🏼
Wishing you happiness, peace and joy. A beautiful beginning!
Thank you so much! This place is giving us the peace, freedom, and creativity we were looking for.
You have a cute little home and it looks so cozy and a metal roof, and that is like heaven! Congratulations!!
Thank you so much! I can't wait for the first rain to hear that roof. Hope to see in the next video!
I love to hear you say " This is home " That is a great emotional statement. I am happy for you both!

Collecting rain from the roof is smart but having trees over head tends to drop debris. Just a couple things to consider and enjoy the process.
The elevation to the rear of the shed would look great with a back door onto an elevated deck.
SWITZERLAND here! If you can fix a rain gutter to the roof, you can collect rain water by placing 4 rain barrels, 1 at each corner! Or a gutter with drain pipe which leads to a big barrel nearby. Greetings and good success! God bless you richly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is our plan. We can't wait to get the rain water collection up and running :) Happy to have you here from so far away.
@@RunawayMattCassGreat! I forgot to say that over here we are used to cover the barrel with a piece of grid, coarse mesh, and with a weight/a big stone is OK, to keep it in place, so squirrels and birds can not fall in the water. They want to drink but they often fall inside. Have a good time!
Really like there positive vibes and there life style
this is a good thing for you guys you know how to live in a small space.
Happy for y'all may you love out your dreams together.
are you guys at all concerned about rain washing out under that blocking u have setup there? since its on a hill like that, i would imagine run off just eroding whatsunder those blocks until its not stable. May want to look into something more permanent like posts or something, but thats one beautiful tiny house
"Congratulations" Your home n' land is beautiful....LOVE from Chicago
Happy to have you here! Thanks so much. We have found a gem of a land that really spoke to us and now it is slowly coming to life :) Hope you join for the fun!
I did that same size without the porch on some property up north in Michigan here but just the shell with French doors no windows and later put windows in where I wanted them. Enjoy and be Safe.
That sounds awesome! We have only heard great things about Michigan hoping to take our van up there sometime in the summers when it is too hot here lol! Thanks for watching! Hope to see ya around here again!

Just found yalls (youn's) channel.
Im 3.5 yrs now from starting from scratch in East Tn.
Did it with a family of 7.
Cleared and built everything with the children. Curious to know what county yall ended up in? .
East Tennessee is a beautiful place that never gets old.
Moved from Tx. And I'll never go back.
Living life the way you see fit is the best way to live it. Dont let anyone stop you. There's always a way to make it happen for yourself. These people and many others like myself have proven that to be true. Its hard work . But its worth it
Hawkins county here, how about yourself? BTW I was raised here many a years ago and more like a half century ago.
The DOT suck ass. That's why I sold out . No more commercial vehicles for me. Great video. I'm off grid out west of Nashville so love every minute of it. The wife has since left and it is just as magical. Keep up the dream it is definitely worth it.
Appreciate the love! This place is giving us so much purpose and fulfillment everyday. Sending good vibes your way bud
Congratulations!!!
