Hey Y'all! We are Justin and Lil, just over a year ago we moved our RV to 18 acres of raw land, built a solar power system and now are building our Off-Grid house by hand, together as a family.

In this video, we begin to place the blocking between the ceiling joists on our off grid house build. The walls are 10 feet high, plus our house is a pier and beam foundation, so Justin is sky high most of the day. This puts him close to the sun, but thankfully he is not Icarus and is very safe with lots of ladders, platforms, and tools. He still almost gives Lil a heart attack when he walks across the ceiling joists in his OSHA approved outfit. He may be willing to risk it all for a breeze, but Lil isn't about that life. There's a baby on the way and a half finished house, and breeze or not, ceiling joists are not for walking on.
The animals and children run wild on the Wild Berry Woods Homestead, and Justin continues to work amid child design pulley systems and small building projects.
Justin moves on to the 8 foot walls, and Lil helps Justin measure and discover he's made a huge mistake. It's been a long, hot day and he is tired, but Justin has to fix his mistake and measure the 8 foot wall side of the off grid house all over again. Lil is weary too, but thankfully she is not at all busy with being pregnant, homeschooling four children, shooting and editing video, managing the homestead, cooking meals and cleaning, so she can afford to simply laze around all day while Justin works.
