Cob walls are COMPLETE! 

My Daughter and granddaughter both have a Labradoodle and it looks like your dog. All I have to say is, "MAY THE COB BE WITH YOU." It takes a lot of force to keep on keeping on. God Bless

Your daughter is so invested, well done lass. Your kids are a credit to you. Great workers, bet you are super proud.

One more question...why are you guys so stinking AWESOME?! One of the best channels!

This build is absolutely amazing and in my humble opinion I think all homes in this state should be made this way. We’d have a lot more energy friendly and efficient homes! This ought to be a law….

Wow you guys have some epic sunsets there!

This building needs a new name. It is so beautiful, and “shed” just isn’t adequate. I love the bottle windows, the ceiling, the walls, everything!

Yey! The cob walls in the solar office are DONE! Wonderful you guys! I hope the temperatures are more comfortable! Cob the mouse in and it will die and it will smell bad a couple of days but then it will dry up. This happens in our hundred year old farm house in our duct work. We can't pull all the ductwork down to get the dead mouse out. They get caught in the ductwork and the metal bends are too slippery for them to get out and they starve to death. Nice sunset on the mountains. I'm glad you caught the mouse!

Looks like you upped your game on the cinematic music video interludes. I particularly liked the slo-mo cob packing near the start. Very tactile. The solar array at sunset was of course visually stunning. Really nice work and Congrats on all your progess.

I busted a gut when you said, “it’ll be done in no time”. Here’s a legit question - why not hire a swarm of mud daubers to help with the walls? They’re pros after all, and probably cheap labor. You guys are seriously killing it with the videos! Awesome family, informative, entertaining, great music and editing, and that dog…that dog is funniest, goofiest dog I have ever seen! Sorry Netflix, you have been outclassed by a bunch of dirt baggers. I’ll be transitioning my subscription.

I love you guys! You crack me up! By the way, your shed looks like a house. It is beautiful! I also don't like to kill things but when an animal or bug comes in my home, I tell myself "If I went into a bear's den, the bear would kill me." If an animal/bug comes into my house, sometimes I have to "get rid" of it.

Moth balls will keep mice out… also seal it with steel wool., lol, ,,, if you want to that is. And you Could Throw the moth balls in the walls and the mice and wasps will leave.. When you get your doors on your mouse and wasp problems will diminish considerably…PS I also hang moth balls in an old sock and hang them around the frame of my RV. I lay moth balls around my trucks on the ground too to keep mice from nesting. I’ve lost wiring on my truck because of the mice. I’m a desert dweller but I’m not willing to share my space with them

if you have access to free rocks, build two gabions -about 3 feet diameter/3ft tall- around the tall corner posts of your solar array. They won't go anywhere, and also adds some flash flood proofing. Nice video today ! I've built gabions in areas with spring flooding and they haven't moved an inch in 30 years.

Peppermint oil on a cotton swap, they can't stand the smell and leave. It also keeps them out of your building.

Girl you are a hard working woman and so is all of your family. Love your music.

Awesome job all! Re: ants. Ants do not like cinnamon. We carry it with us to the camping events where we sell products. Never a fail using it so far. Take care.

Y'all... you are shinning! Getting this shed done😂🤣😅🤠✌😎 Another great episode!!!👏👏👏

Gorgeous Sunsets, Thanks. Congrats on getting the PV panels in place and the Cob work down to the short rows. 9 9: Come here kitty kitty, it wont hurt, long.

I have to compliment you guys on the choices of music you play on your VLOGS. I love it! Excellent...........

Ants can be a pain but they sure are nice when something dies inside your walls. I have found they come in drive you nuts, but when they are done the rodent will be totally cleaned up. I have to put cotton soaked in vinegar then wrapped in foil then put in balls around in my cat food bin. Borax kills all insects eventually so you have to be careful with the good bugs but I use that a lot also. I love what you are doing, even though its "just a shed" you are putting so much into detail that I would back anything you all build.

Diatomaceous earth definitely doesn’t work on ants. 😂👍 It’s SO hot. Our trailer is 90 even with AC. Tin box! Rusted. ❤️

“It’s like we’re married”. 😂😂😂

GREAT MUSIC! Sitting on your throne all alone 👂🎶🎵☔️💿💙💚🎵🎶🎵🔈

I really like what your doing and of course I would do some things differently, but I'm not you and you guys are doing great! The channel rocks in my books!

You guys are so cute. Love what you are doing, keep on keeping on.

beautiful Arizona! Everyone gets to live in “my” state! Love the views! Thanks for sharing!

Your girls are always helping, the boys are seldom, especially the older one. What chores does he have that makes him keep away from the built? Only on the solar panel construction, I could see you all working together.

Awesome show guys! Oh.. as the president of the Jet Appreciation Club... MORE JET please?

Gasoline and a propane torch for the ants? Worked for me! 😂

Put a temporary door on the shed.....because the mud wasps think you built it just for them and if they don't already have a few nests in the wiring holes, they will. Oh and if you have screens for the windows, that would help. And when you finally done you should make a don't do what we did when you build a solar shed video, explaining the large time gaps between start to finish. I know life happens but we're moving into 90+ days of solar shed.

This is a fantastic project. You all are doing such a great job. Enjoy your videos immensely.

I’m so in love with your dog! We have a spoodle…so a mini version of 99

You are making amazing progress 👍🤠. Construction is a lot of work. The key is to keep going and never give up 💪.

You guys are in beast mode with all that work! Wow! Looking amazing!

Ah the shed is looking great. such work machines in your family ! I admire your stick-to-itiveness ! Thank you for the mountains,clouds and sunset as requested. They are views we don't see around my neck of the woods. literally. We have tons of trees, very different than your skyscape. The critters you have a beautiful. I especially like your BermaPoodle Pony ! keep cranking it will be done soon and then you will do it all again, only bigger (house)?j much love, Annmarie in Oregon

just a thought about the solar panels and the water, taking advantage of the water with leaving the cracks because of the sail aspect, what about plants that could be put there that may require less sunlight then normal or the whole partial shade thing. Could be a use of the water with minimal modification.

You all work so well together! Love your videos, I always find a smile when watching!

Getting there! Keep up the good work and God bless amen.

Awesome job with the added benefit of a mud based skin treatment that people pay a fortune for. If the mouse can't get out it will die, it means no other critters can get in and it will only smell for a short time. I live in a forest with lots of critters which occasionally die in close proximity. If I can't find them the smell is gone in a couple of days and, in any case, our olfactory systems seem able to cancel out strong background smells, presumably so we can smell anything new which might be a problem.

LOVE YOU GUYS!

Look into Bat boxes. They eat bugs and stuff and it helps the bat population. Peppermint in the solar shed. Rosemary and sage help with insects as well.

AMAZING ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Are you feeling a bit 🤪😜? Seriously it's looking so good. I don't know how you were able to talk after all that!!! Can't wait for the next video to see what's next. Solar panel build looks great too.

HELLOOO from 🇨🇦 Yes the ceiling looks AwesoWondrous Guys great job... sad about the mouse but yes it had to be done...And yes they stink big time for days ... We had that happen in our home and we could smell it throughout the house for days🤢 Every step yous get done it's lookin' Fabulously better and better 👍❤️👌Soooo excited for yous 🥳👍 God's Continual Blessings to you all 🙏😇💝

A work of art!

Reminds me of a flintstone home !

You all are so happy, I love your spirit!

Yes the ceiling is beautiful!!! In fact the whole solar shed is beautiful and looks more beautiful each video.

Awesome video and progress. You guys seem so chill. Even thought there is tons of work. Keep up the good work and inspiration. Cheers.

What is the music you were playing? Sounds familar but I can't think of their nam.But I like it! You are all such pioneers! Really admire what you are doing, and all you have accomplished, and will accomplish! Blessings to all of you!

Cobbing lookin great

Looking great

Put cornmeal out around the any. They carry it back to their queen and it kills her and ask the any that eat it. It can take a few applications but it works!!

It looks fantastic family, cant wait to see it all come together 😍😁❤

Wasn't sure what exactly DiatomaceousEarth was, but your face is priceless!!! A new favorite snarky family to love!!!! At least that is how I took it!!!

i love how you hold her drink for her

Love the progress.....almost done😃

Thank you for your vids. Your choice of music is amazing.

Are you going to get a door before your friends come over? You guys are soooooooo cute!!

The Longneckers are next level!!! The building looks terrific. Stunning sunsets❤️ For rain catchment ideas, you might check out Homesteadanomincs channel. He has done so many creative ideas and he is in the AZ desert.

You can use 3m helicopter tape (200 mph proof) between panels to allow water to pass from panel to panel

Outstanding content! Love the Q&A while showing all your progress.

For the ants. The holes (colonies) that you want to get rid of, mix up 1/4 cup powdered Sugar, with 1/4 cup Baking Soda. Sprinkle this about 6 to 8 inches away from the hole, all around. When the workers haul it into the holes, it will kill the whole colony in about 24 hours. You might have to do this twice (with about two weeks in between) before the hole is dead, but it does work. I got rid of a hole this way three years ago (after trying everything else for years), and I have not seen a single ant around that hole yet.

Good job guys... ✋

Premium Gas and fire work really good with fire ants.

Great music once again ❤️

Looks great. It felt like a "Ghost" scene fixin to happen 😂😂😂. Well tiny shiny family...get the shed done. Had plenty of giggles. Others have used Alibaba and are very satisfied.

What type of ac will you use in the solar building? Maybe a mini split? Front door design??

Molten Aluminium is great for ants, If nothing elese its a pleasure to get rid of most of them.

Dawn dish liquid kills fire ants…eats their exoskeleton! 😊

MOUSE IN CEILING...we had one 3 weeks ago. If it dies up there, it will smell for ONE WEEK, then smell will go away. ( in summer ),,, cooler months take 3-4 weeks for smell to go away. Our ceiling is only 8 feet high. PEANUT BUTTER... they cant resist. Peppermint oil they hate it.. and smells good...put it in absorbant, cloth-foam-cotton pieces, place it as many spots as you can

You can tell them what is next, but that will not stop them from asking :-)

Build a forge, save your cans, melt aluminum, use anthills as a mold pour it in dig it up😎

One more question....😜. where do you get your incredible soundtracks and how does that work on RU-vid?

I used crushed potato chips ( a hand full once a week) untill no more ants. Took a month. I think they went for the grease and carbohydrates and we're dehydrated by the slow steady intake of salt. It worked for me.

An old camping trick is to use comet or Ajax to get rid of ants

Your getting thar kiddos

How are you doing all this in the crazy ass heat? Wooooooweee, be careful. P.S. Miss Lady, you have some seriously gorgeous baby blues! Your eyes just POP against the cob walls. Jelly! LOL

For the ants, have you tried just straight rubbing alcohol??? We had a bad ant problem and also a bad bedbug problem... For the bedbugs we used the rubbing alcohol in spray bottles and over a 2-week period several times a day we soaked everything in it... A year later and not a bed bug to be found... For the ants we did a lot of the same the alcohol helps to wipe out their chemical trails drys out the live ones until they die, but the key is to drown the nest in it... We did that by just poring it down their holes, that was last summer and still no ants so far this summer... Yes it's a bit expensive but being free of harmful insects is to me worth any cost...

Borax in glycerin gel works well for ants, you can buy it as Terro gel..

1) three pet anteaters? 2) 2 gallons of molten lead(think of the artwork) 3) Boric acid and peanut butter bait 4) commercial ant bait 5) boiling water and liquid soap

Tell people to look at the difference in pitch on the roof and the solar array . Keep up the good work.

Try Cornmeal! Ants can't digest it!

Do a youtube search for "Mousetrap Monday". Dude tests out all kinds of creative mousetraps.

I am sad. I had thought that the large ceiling gaps were because you planned to extend your faux beam into the room, to look like it was buried in the wall.

Your streamline made about hour from my place in Ohio. I just started watching a few utube because green dream project. Are gone build huge home later on?

get some grits and pour in mound then wet down , not drown. it will seal the hive in

Since I’ve been watching your channel backwards and I saw the chicken coop first, I had a question about hardibacker and I noticed that you didn’t use it in the solar shed lintels or wooden window frames, but I did see the nails on the lintels. Are you concerned about it chipping off the wood later? Or will it stick better because it’s cob? I love watching all of this! ❤️😁👏🏻

a door wold be grate to stop things coming into the bilding

should cut a access hole in the ceiling any way for access to the electrics so cut hole put a hinge on it

Won’t smell that bad so long as it’s a mouse. Rats will stick so bad you won’t want to be there for a week.

Why did you put your solar panels in the direction you did? Ours are facing the East on our house. The cob office is looking great.

Heard of your critter plight. 1) Corn starch on ant piles keeps them off your property. 2) The Tin Cat seems to the best mouser and use of motion detector lights in the perimeter of the dwelling really helps to keep them out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y1U68P99tcI.html We live in high desert too and find the lights really helped avoid problems entirely.

Hot water for the ants 🐜. It works!!!!

How are you going to apply finish coat on walls will it be with your hands or with hock and trowel?

may be way before you time I HATE THOSE MIECES TO PIECES , And for what is worth what you are doing ( the cob )to me is an art form ,back when this was a craft performed by a craftsman VERY GOOD JOB

Did you add any cross pieces at the bottom of the pipe in the concrete to act as an anchor for each pipe?

Paint 🎨 t with lime paint? Whitens and I need to research it now myself...?

We know why there's mud dawbers 😂 I have not watched all your videos. I am new to your channel. I was wondering if the walls could be seared and this would bake them? You mentioned dealing them but that would involve chemicals and this looks like an organic project. I am sure this project is long finished though.

What is y'all's elevation at your place
