Have you considered making the land a food forest? It cuts down on the heat and dust storms plus it's your personal rainforest and provides food without a whole lot of work once it's all set up.
You should be so proud of yourself! When embarking on a project such as this with as much 'de-construction' as you've had to do, it might be hard to see the improvements but you have got to have a good foundation for the future years to come. While it might be difficult to always see the upsides, you should definitely celebrate the wins, celebrate harder the more challenging it was to accomplish it! You deserve it. You are a badass. Cannot wait to see what else you do going forward.
This is SO true. Been doing a lot of tearing down and throwing out. The mesquite tree I planted just came back to life and felt so good since it’s one of the only things I’ve added so far and it’s ALIVE! 🥰
Very impressive! Lived in Laughlin/BHC area for 12 years and found have 2 pro tips to help you with heat cold transfer with the windows. 1. Install exterior sun screens on the windows. or 2. Install reflective window film on the interior windows.( cheaper option). Keep up the good work.
Growing up in Vegas in the hoods, it was aluminum foil for the summers 😂. Super cheap. When my parents made money, we got sun screens 😊. Both work. And foil on the south facing window only was needed.
This is the first video I've seen of yours and I am incredibly proud and impressed by what you've done there. Thanks to your dad for all his help. This will be so worth it in the end. You will look back and be so happy.
You are a trooper. Not many people would attempt to buy a fixer upper car, but you did that and a fixer upper house. You go girl. With RUclips and other internet resources you can accomplish so much. You just need to be brave enoughto jump in. A happy dance is definitely in order.😊
You've accomplished more in one year than I have in twenty years and I mean that sincerely. Please celebrate your victories. You are a bad ass and it's been a joy to follow you. Can't wait to see all of your projects as they come to fruition in the future. xo
I know what is like to work in a different environment. I also live in the desert with Joshua trees in a 10 acre ranch. I love Southern California. I build my own fence and chicken coop. Is not easy living in the desert but i learned a lot about nature and how to build stuff around my property and just be creative. Don't give up at the end it will be all worth it.
As a northeast US guy, I rarely find the beauty people talk about in the desert, but you highlighted it so even I could appreciate it. What an incredible value you have already built!
Congratulations on a very successful year! I am so impressed with what you've accomplished. I bought a 5 acre property in Central Georgia 2 years ago and although I don't take a lot of pictures or videos, I have documented through notes, goals and To Do Lists what I've gotten done. It is amazing what we can accomplish when we set out to love the home around us. I'll be watching for your progress over the next year and I'll be celebrating for both of us. Love the happy dances!!
I’ve spent my life building and making things my advice to people is don’t concentrate on what’s ahead concentrate on what you’ve done and accomplished. It works!
Doing the same thing in NM, I can never find relatable content. Everyone runs to the forest, there's not very many of us desert dwellers. I love the desert, and I love your settlement.
You did a lot in 1 year especially all by yourself. This is the first video I've seen of yours, but I've been watching people turn the desert into a homestead and it isn't easy, so well done! You might want to get a cat because ground squirrels can destroy your house and your food supply. We had a hug infestation of rodents until I moved in and let my cats outside. Now I can only hear them under the house once in a great while compared to every day multiple times a day. My cats ate almost all the rodents in this entire area.
I think you may not realize you may want the fence, it’s going to cut down all the dessert ending up in the house or beside the house. What may be a good idea would be going to one of those salvage yards that have a lot of great home improvement stuff at a discount price.
I shared your channel with both of my daughters in the UK. You really are a role model. Take it from an older lady that you really are winning even when it doesnt seem that way. Its either a lesson or a blessing and as long as your moving forward, you have already achieved your goal.
I bought a POS house. That is what I named it. I am sure you know what POS means. Today, I have been in my house for 2 months. After many tears and frustrations, I decided to celebrate the wins I have made. Currently, I am coloring my hair and I need time for the processing time and decided to watch a RUclips video when I came across your video. How wonder to see your video. Keep celebrating the wins.
you should put the privacy fence back up in the back but much smaller and closer to the house. this will help with the wind and erosion/water evaporization control on future gardens. start catching any rain water you get off the roof. good job on the work. you did more than you gave yourself credit for.
Living in a van gets old after a couple years. It's is so nice to have a place to call home. Don't forget that privacy is priceless as well. Doing mostly alone is so rewarding, even if nobody notices. Celebrate the freedom you have OWNING land and a house. All my life I have worked for this goal. I have achieved them all. So worth it. Best of luck. It's a never ending labor of love now with my home.
Amazing! Great work so far. You should look into planning some swales to make use of some of that heavy rain to grow some more shelter. Would be pretty easy to do while you have the tractor to pull the posts!
Great job. Don’t feel bad about progress being slower than you wanted. This is your journey so enjoy it along the way. It will be an awesome house when you finish
You’re awesome you should always celebrate who you are. There’s men out in the world that couldn’t do what you do digging your trenches doing all your own, plumbing your own roofing learning all this stuff on your own and doing it you’ve got a spirit of a champion you should always celebrate who you are. God bless you and your journey And everything you’re doing and even though you don’t know me and I don’t know you I’m very proud of you. I have five daughters and an amazing strong wife that is very much like you and your character in your spirit so I just want you to know God bless you you’re amazing. I’m proud of you.
The beginning of the video is so realistic. Honestly thank you for showing that because a lot of people don’t realize the struggle and believe it’s all happy and go lucky when starting a big project like this
Girl I’m 66 almost 67 I moved from city life to farm life 7 yrs in now I have garden chickens rabbits fruit trees ect u keep ur head up n keep going many blessings to u from North Texas ❤
Wow you've come a long way in 1 year. You are very organized and detail oriented. I absolutely love the ending of this video. You made my husband and I lol.
You have done a lot of great work on your homestead. It is so lucky to have you. Just take it one day at a time. I live in New Mexico, and I live in much of the same terrane. You have done an amazing job. Have a great day. I grew up in Az. Enjoy all your days of building your dream and keep on dancing.
I have just found your channel. I am so impressed. I wish I had as much 'get up and go' as you do. I look forward to many more video's from you.We are all cheering you on and love the happy dance.
"Passage of the small tract act has opened vast areas of land, not for profit or exploitation, but for folks who like to build with their own hands, and who are thrilled by the challenge of creating a home of their own... These homesteads are for people who delight in watching the moon rise over purpled hills, for those who would call the stars by name, and who love the peace that is found only in remote places." -Desert Magazine 1954.
You are doing great!! Your amazing and doing so much more than you realize. As my Dad taught me, Murphy’s second law is that if you need to do something you need to do something else first. It can make it feel like progress is not happening but thats mostly because we we don’t count all the “have to do first” things as progress. They are though! So yes, Celebrate! Celebrate all of it and give yourself credit! Happy dance under every rainbow and dance twice as much under the double ones. You deserve it😊
What a wonderful task making this homestead you home! It is an incredible amount of work and it can be discouraging but you absolutely have to celebrate ANY little wins!! Celebrate, throw little parties even if they are only in your head but the beauty is that for every task you do, you are one step closer to your ultimate dream!!!!
My mom has the same rig. It's awesome once you fix the small stuff that any old suv has. We are a suzuki family. My Geo tracker (suzuki sidekick 2 door) has 305,000 miles on it.
It takes so much time effort and money to fix up abandoned properties. My wife and I are still working on ours. It has been 3 years now. You are so correct that every other little thing (like your car) will take time and money from your main goals. This summer we have been enjoying our landscaping/patio furniture from last year at night time to watch the meteor showers. Keep it up! And best of luck!
I just found your channel today and I have to say you are doing a great job. one step at a time. I lived in Twentynine Palms California for about 20 yrs and was paying a mortgage.

The heating and cooling of our place was difficult I had learned you had to leave a window open 1 -2 inches to get a airflow through the place with a swamp cooler. other wise the house was like a vacuum seal lol also over my windows I made a 2x2 square frame with lattice on top, and placed it about a foot away from the window but over it to block the sun but would allow me to have my window open. which helped a lot on those 102 degrees days. I am on the east coast now but I still wonder if I should of stayed after losing my mom. I wish you all the best!
All in time! Remember it’s about the journey! Enjoy (or appreciate) every step and stop and smell the flowers when you want to. I often have to remind myself it’s only me and no one is judging and it’s not a race. Better to do it right, it will all pay off in time. What’s the point if I’m stressed and not enjoying my life? Life’s too short. I’m so impressed with what you have accomplished already!
I'm so freaking impressed by how many things you tackled all on your own! I would be sitting paralyzed with fear over most of the things you had to face :)! It looks so beautiful & I look forward to seeing all the magic you put into it in the future :D
I think you have tons to be proud of. I'm in my fourth year of remodeling or refurbishing my own former dilapidated foreclosed farmhouse, purchased cheap and making it mine. Most people your age wouldn't consider doing what you're doing. I myself am a big recycler and that includes a home to make my own without breaking the bank and working till I'm 70. Keep doing what you're doing and take pride in all you accomplish. I'll keep tuning in.
Thank you for sharing your 1st year with us. Truly exciting. I look forward to seeing more. I purchased an acre of land in NM but I will be starting from scratch on raw land. Comforting to see someone else living the solo desert life. Sending positive vibes and extra energy ;)
I just ran across your video. It takes time to accomplish things in life, and I know it can get overwhelming at times, but you can knock the projects off by attrition. One day you will look back, and im sure you will be living your dream that most just think or talk about. Keep up the good work, it looks great!
I live i Keeler, across the dry lake from Olancha, Talk about dust storms! Been in Keeler 25 years now & in the Owens Valley on & off over 50 years, its great living at the foot of 3 different 12k-14k mountain ranges yet still in the upper Mojave desert, now in my 70's, is 135 years old built 1890 whicj makes me feel young in an odd way
You showed Courage and Determination . Big applause to you !! . That is the Spirit . Step by step , making the path to your dreamed Home . Congratulations !!
This is the first time we ‘meet’. 2024 is 10 days young and I sure hope you kept your promise to yourself. Getting stuck in only seeing the bad is a short way to a life one doesn’twish on anybody. With the little I know about you I’m sure you have plenty to be glad, proud and cheerful about. People on social media (and rl) are seldom honest about the reality of their life. Comparingyour life to someone else’s is like measuring yourself against a crooked measuring stick. Enjoy the journey even the things that go wrong are right if you look back at them. The only thing you can really do wrong is not having a good time even in the hard times.
Very very cool. I can't wait to see trees planted there. You work very very hard and most guys n girls won't keep up. You should be proud. Love from South Africa.
I have only just chimed in but from what you have shown me in this montage of success...you have done amazingly. I am 12 years onto my home and 2 kids in and I feel like you describe...no small victories, no end to projects. Your right to celebrate everything completed, no matter how small. Best wishes for 2024...progress is progress no matter how little.
If you are able to drill for a well, you could have your own little oasis in the middle of the desert and you could have live hedges/coppice as privacy fence and windshield, you could end up with an amazing garden in the middle of the desert but it would take time and patience.
You may not realize it now but You are Living the Dream!!!
Totally what I was thinking!
Have you considered making the land a food forest? It cuts down on the heat and dust storms plus it's your personal rainforest and provides food without a whole lot of work once it's all set up.
where get water?

It’s amazing what one could accomplish with just time n dedication… it’s the small tasks that adds up to the big picture.. ur an inspiration

Me and my husband bought a fixer upper and I can totally relate. We have come so far yet so far away so here is too more happy dances as well!
That is awesome! 💃🏻

Thanks!
I just ran across your video. It takes time to accomplish things in life, and I know it can get overwhelming at times, but you can knock the projects off by attrition.

This is cool. I grew up in a place like this. Ground Squirrels are definitely a pain in the garden. Crazy that was an MJ farm.

I appreciate that ☺️
I am impressed 👍👏👏👏👏

I am 12 years onto my home and 2 kids in and I feel like you describe...no small victories, no end to projects. Your right to celebrate everything completed, no matter how small. Best wishes for 2024...progress is progress no matter how little.
Thank you! 😊

If you are able to drill for a well, you could have your own little oasis in the middle of the desert and you could have live hedges/coppice as privacy fence and windshield, you could end up with an amazing garden in the middle of the desert but it would take time and patience.
You are doing a smashing job and should be happy dancing FAR more. Stand tall and forge ahead. Greetings from Australia👌👌👏👏💕💕
PS keep the fence for a wind barricade as well To stop the soil erosion when you have flooding rains.
Check out my most recent Q&A video. I talk more about my reasons for taking down the fence in it.
