- All the videos, except 2, were done with my cell phone. Time is not on our side, so this presentation is mainly for documentation purposes! We hope you enjoy it and come back to see Part Two! Will & Michelle
That's really cool, I'm 67 and I bought 20 acres in Northern Arizona, my Wife thinks I'm crazy starting so late, but I still think I'm able, I'll be building this Spring. I'll be watching for Your Progress, I did look back on Your Channel and watched the Maiden of the Covid Cub, very cool, I also have been building and flying RC since I was 13, J3 Cub is one of My favorites, hope to see some more of the House soon... Nice Work.. 👍👍🤠
If you “think” you are able, you “are”! The weather up here pretty much dictates how much you will get done in a day. Spring winds, then monsoon season. It all comes in waves. Go for it and good luck! Thanks for the comments too!
@@socalives Thank You for the well Wishes, stay safe up there and enjoy Your new Home! :)
Congrats on your 20 acers! There seems to be a GAP in places for Seniors on SS. I dont want 1200sqrft+ and a yard to landscape just to match the neighbors. I think many retirees would be happy with a small, one level, no debt, near medical facilities. But we're forced out to the Desert on large lots far from medical for costs...go figure....
Enjoyed watching so far- born & raised Apache County, you are lucky to have escaped Commiefornia!
Congratulations to you guys for making the leap! Age is just a number...we made the leap last year in our early 50s and have not regretted a thing! We are in Cochise County in SE Arizona. You've done a great job and we are wishing you all the best in your new life :) God bless!
Thanks! We are in our late 60’s and time is definitely not on our side,lol. The scaffolding is a killer on the knees! But, it’s all worth it! Good luck to you👍👋👊🥂
My wife and I in our 70’s built in the California Sierras a home at the 4 k. Elevation. Your process looks similar except we had to deal with the pine and fir trees. Fun isn’t it!
I just stumbled onto you guys. Joining the exact same things looking for small town and a little piece of land to retire on. Thank you for making this video. Maybe I can live through you for a little while.❤
What an awesome chronicle of the progress you've made. I loved the technique you used to move the roof panels up to their final destination. The panorama of the colorfillied sky is one of the things I've liked most about my visits to Aizona. Thanks for sharing this. I'll hang onto it for inspiration as we contemplate our retirement home.
Thanks for your kind words Tony!
Part 2 is coming up shortly!👍🥂
Congrats on the beginnings of your retirement 🎉
Nw Nevada desert here 👍. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Awesome! Thank you!
once you install gutters you can collect all that rain water for future use on them drought days for your plants
I just discovered your channel , so impressed, I’m from Southern California, thousands oaks ,❤
Such a shame....Californians ruin california now on to Arizona. Soooo Sad.
If your smart you'll leave commie land
It look-like your are in WEST-TEXAS.👍
I hope you do a vid on cost breakdown!
Good luck 58 soon and wanting to build on my land in Ky
great team build !!!!! I am looking forward to the amazing inside journey. Beautiful and debt free, looks mighty good :) I guess a tall wind tower plan , will go hand in hand with the solar install ?
I wish you luck but a place with no discernable water supply sounds pretty iffy to me. Also.. are you taking precautions for possible Hanta Virus and plague in the soils. Apparently there are a number of cases every year.
Do the mice really eat people's car wires out there?
😂, not mice but rats go for the wires! We did our due diligence and checked neighbors well reports via wells55.com We had our well drilled first thing. We are in the Coconino aquifer. No issues with Hunta virus. Thanks for the comment!👍🥂
Yes water will be big issue very soon
On top of proposed lithium mine and huge deep well dairy farms pumping millions of gallons out of cochise County aqufer
You should have rented a telehandler and you could have had it framed up in a few days. Otherwise, I am enjoying the build.
It was too pricey to rent for us! Would of loved too, but, we’re on a budget. Thanks for the comment man!👍🥂
Where in Az are you located I just came across your channel
Was 1200sqft a Code requirement?
What was your Permitting process and Inspections steps?
Why Stick & Gypsum in an Adobe, earthen climate?
Did you hire an Architect and/or Engineer or are the Plans purchased?
What level of Contractor did you use and how did you find a local to build in that style?
1200 sq ft was not a requirement. Apache County does not require engineered drawings. We did not purchase plans because we did our own drawings to scale. Simple process. Go to Apache County Building department online for more info. Hubby has experience in lumber/framing so that’s the direction we took. Simple design, 2bed, 2 bath, open cathedral ceiling in kitchen/living room. And lots of attic space!
@@socalives awesome, thanks !!
Mam, will you please, pay attention to the camera, you Are making me dizzy, please
Is it windy everyday?
No. Spring time is the windiest. It comes in waves. 2-3 days build up then stops. Last year we had more full blown wind advisory. It made it a real challenge for building! Thanks for the comment!👍
california-commuicornia............... delighted you're gone........
kom mie ku nt P O S
@@peterpiper1965 what a loser. Poor communication skills. Back to
Your ongoing misery. Enjoy!
Such a shame....Californians ruin california now on to Arizona. Soooo Sad.
looks like a yet another cheap Cali track home. Adobe or even better, an Earthship, would at least PRETEND to be rehabilitated Californians
@@peterpiper1965 gets some fresh Midol. Maybe that painful vag-in-ALL oozing will go away, Loser.
Oh, God, Trump more ons.
I will never watch this channel
Did your feelings get hurt?
Congrats for new land and house. You should provide more details on costs so people could compare and keep watching the your progression. Without the details, i wont subscribe or visit your channel because it lack of information i need. This is why you have extremely low subscribers because your content isnt provide value. Please improve and it will draw more audiences to you.
