As I was watching, my mind went back to when you were leaving your last property and you, in my words, were rather bummed..... and look at were y'all are now. A true testament that when one door closes another one opens! And son, this door is magnificent!!

Again, ironically… I’ve been thinking I should do a living roof with pond liner over my Franken shack. Thanks so much for this.

I may consult with you soon. Can’t wait to see this living roof to completion… it’s just awesome!

I would use peel off roofing membrane. And then paint with roof paint, like they do for mobile homes and rvs. Good Job! And again congratulations! Happy for you!

Pond liner….brilliant!

I'm impressed with your ingenuity! I always tie my ladder down too. I'm not going out that way.

You're really fast at putting them boards on that roof I don't think I ever seen anybody move like that before

Maybe straw bales that can both insulate and breakdown to feed your living roof?

I am glad to participate. I encourage everyone else to add a THANKS. I just did for the second time in 5 years, and don't know how to display it in comments, but I want to mention it in hopes we all kick in $20 or more. I want to see you succeed, young man.

So much to say about this episode in the pallet build. I hope this goes viral. So many hours of labor, outside the box build, inspiring, great film, awesome editing.

Its pretty awesome that you wear a Mjolnir and your house looks like an early game build from Valheim!!

Hello to you and your sweet family, Josh! Your energy and creativity always amaze me! You had to be totally wiped out after finishing that job though! It looked like a tremendous amount of work but you did a terrific job as usual. I think this channel is one of the most interesting ones on RU-vid, so It's really nice to see that others must feel the same because your number of subscribers seems to be consistently increasing, too. Blessings to all of you!

Brad Pitt gone crazy and building hippyhouse :D Awesome.

Great looking roof appreciate the time you spent doing this video, I have been a recycle repurposing type person for 40 plus years we can always learn from each other.

Instead of making any holes through the pond liner did you consider using old tires to hold it down while the living roof takes root? Not as aesthetically pleasing until the tires disappear but I think it would work? PS any comments I make should not be taken as criticism. Not intended to be. Just throwing my two cents in for ideas. I guess it would not work so well for rain water catchment. I absolutely love the creativity and feel this will be the wave of the future for so many people who are not able to afford a traditional home. Great job!

Thanks!

Awesome job! I am also afraid of heights and even I got a bit dizzy from watching you on RU-vid lol. I've been considering building a 1 maybe 1 and a half story shop to do my woodworking in. I really like the way you put your home or tower together and I think I'm going to go ahead and build it. First I need to get some money together for supplies but I am going to build it from pallets. I also want to produce videos for RU-vid so hopefully soon you will see me on here, at least that's the plan. Keep up the great work and stay safe. I hope you and your family are successful and good luck with future endeavors. Happy Building and I will see you on the next one!😁

yay! things are moving along ....be careful....great editing Celia 😀

Great job - fun video - thank you ❤️😁🌹

I put a pond liner on my primitive hut - and then a poly-canvas tarp over that. Glad to see you using it for a living roof. I've been wondering what to do after the UV destroys the polycanvas tarp - but probably just throw some soil up there. hahahaha. Great idea. Also you are the master pallet builder!! I just started watching your channel. I dated a Kentucky woman way back when I was in my 20s - but otherwise I'm a northern Midwest person. That's very impressive that you're raising a family offgrid. Thanks for your channel and congratulations. I can access pallets so I've been pondering using them - but I need now to double check - I don't think they're up to the same standards of your 2 x 4 pallets. I built the primitive hut as a double wattle and daub wall - so it's very well insulated with hay-clay. hahahhaa. Then I added rock wool for roof insulation. We need serious insulation - the winter gets 30 below Zero f. sometimes - I don't live there because the whole permit thing applies to any structure that is lived in. Building code is not enforced except on the state level - so I could technically live in a primitive dwelling offgrid. The sewage permit is the kicker and so I called the planner about getting a year-round composting toilet permit. They don't understand composting since septics don't do aerobic composting unless you get a "sludge-hammer" installed. hahahahaha. That's a cool device but requires 60 watts continuous - plus I have high water table swampy land - so also I want to save the precious trees for the birds. I only have like 3 acres of trees and then seasonal wetlands for a couple acres. hahahahaha. Just got flash flooding up there - I grow mushrooms in the woods as my farm business but this year I have had hardly any to harvest. It's gonna be interesting to see how you finish the interior of your 28 foot tall pallet tower. hahahaha. That's awesome. I like how you explained your inner ear messing with you - yes - and how that was tied to your vision. It seems common sense to be afraid of heights - good safety reaction by the body. What else? Having your savings in change is a very creative solution! You can try a certificate of deposit to earn unearned income as long as the U.S. military empire doesn't collapse as the petro-dollar - 4 to 5 percent returns is the highest we've had in a long time. hahahahaha.

Another great video

Oddly enough I have something like this too… just saw that you decided not to focus on the Frankenstein double wide.

Looking Great!

Could I do this with the sides of my house as well

I hope those storms didn't get near you last week. One of the tornadoes missed me by an 1/8th of a mile .

Which is taller? This build or the tri-level build?

You might have dyscalcula.

Can’t here you
