You all should be so proud of yourself and the best thing in “THERE IS NO MORTGAGE 👏👏👏❤️AWESOME!!!!!” Happy Living in your own comfort….do you have lots of pigs that is Hawaii biggest problem

    AMAZING, I always wanted to do what you're doing. Unfortunately, I moved back to the mainland in 1992. I just didn't know where to start, but I guess the only way to do it is to start with nothing and grow with that, but you've done a really GREAT job! It still might be in my future, that's what I'm wishing any way.

    Aloha neighbor, we met at my work in Hilo but we live off of Leila in FF. Just wanted to tell you that I enjoy your videos very much. I always love seeing all the different ways that our neighbors use this jungle to suit their needs. I hope to get a couple weekends of cleaning up our overgrowth in soon, maybe after that, you'd consider doing an episode on our place. It's not much but it is unique in several ways.

    Very nice house and property you have. I especially like the clear roof. How did it fair in the recent strong hurricanes? Any damage to your structures? I saw many other homes in the video. Are they your cabins and tents? Do you rent them out? Welcome to RUclips! I'm excited to see future videos with your garden in full production.

    Nope. Born and raised in Hawaii, you need to fill in those cracks in between the boards on your walls, and put in windows and screens. Otherwise, you'll have roaches and centipedes getting into everything, including your bed. Trust me, you don't want that! Also, if you smell mold or mildew, ffs, do something about it pronto, or it will worsen so incredibly fast, your head will spin! Honestly, I couldn't finish watching this video. I've seen so many people come, fail, and go. When all they had to do was ask. Locals, like me, are willing to help! But only a few listen.

    Yikes. I just came from your catch and cook video. Seems like you're on a different Island but I can confirm on Kauai the Planning Department has employees who's jobs are browsing social media, craigslist, you name it to find easily confirmed building permit violations on farms and co-living properties. I would suggest not advertising the lifestyle on youtube and focus your channel on other aspects of your life.

      @@tamie341 Try applying to one of those government jobs. Part of it is answering about 100 questions. The twist is they ask you the same question many different ways to see if you have a biased answer, they hire the ones with biased answers because if you're willing to have the same exact opinion in every variable context then you are exactly the type of person they want for the job.

    • @Offgrid_Neighbors808
      @Offgrid_Neighbors808  8 месяцев назад +2

      I can say by my personal experience that with good ventilation, which this house has, clear plastic roofing is a good idea if you don’t want to grow mold in your house. Tinted roofing is okay too.
      What is your experience like working with plastic roofing?

    • @wMerlinw
      @wMerlinw 8 месяцев назад +2

      @@Offgrid_Neighbors808 I can understand that logic. I think keeping things open works best, regardless of roofing material choice. Lots of people get mold because of bad airflow. I just like to read sometimes during the day and or take a nap. Maybe you have a separate area for those things, I don't know. I think people would realize their blunder when they can't use those spaces during the day.
