I am always impressed with your family's strength & work ethic. Now, more than ever, I am convinced that Ashley can do anything & do it with a kitten in her pocket!
Congratulations on your renewed solar shed. It looks great! So much work and so much progress when the whole family does a big push! Well done everyone!
bonjour la famille. Lady Ashley never fails to share with us the colour of the morning sun: orange. often, i re-watch the vidéo in order to see the sky of southwest United States. the skies in France are no match to Arizona. so i'm touched and feel at home being away from home. In 1971, the R & B group, Sly and the Family Stone produced a fine album and one of its lead song was 'family affair !' for me to see all hands on deck and the coming of the new family home is a blessing for us all. may the orange skies bless you, may the many hands of your children bless you and may the dwelling that you'll construct be all that you wish it to be. let's get started !!
It just looks so great guys. Such a prodigious amount of work! If anyone wondered why you took such care in building the solar shed and chicken garden, and redoing the walls as needed, it will now be apparent: as you have explained so many times, you’ve been learning and experimenting so you’re ready for the big project ahead. Can’t wait for the house build! Woohoo!
Solar shed office is beautiful! Kittens and dogs are adorable! I love that the guardian dog gets to play with Ocho and Mojito. Sorry I don’t remember his name. You guys are getting so much done. I can’t wait for the house build. Thanks for sharing with us ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous. You all did such an awesome job. The addition of the barrel out front adds so much character. Now that the Solar Shed and the Casa De Caca are complete I'm looking forward to the house build.
Having learned this vast variety of building techniques, you are now gifted with the knowledge of how the maintain them. And wow, how your family jumps in and gets it done!
Anxiously await how you convince the teens to stick around and build a home...assuming they are thinking about their own futures and own endeavors on the horizon. Regardless, they have taught well!
The shed looks fantastic! I’m so excited to watch the house come to fruition. You’ve learned so much over that past few years that is sure to show in the final result of the home.
I can't believe how easy it is to cut and peel that off the bottles! It looks so sharp and clean! Praying this method works against the harsh monsoons! Very nice job TSH! ❤🎉
Congratulations! Please take a moment to reward yourselves for your incredible progress. You have reached yet another turning point in the development of your Homestead and I couldn’t be happier for all of you. It’s so exciting to see what happens next and the design of your home is revealed. Great job!!!
Absolutely beautiful guys! Like everyone else, I'm so excited, and happy that you get to start on the house. And thank you again, for allowing us to be a part of your journey, and your family. By the way...this old lady still wants to be adopted 😊 Love y'all ❣️ ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
The solar shed looks super cool! I love how it got finished off it looks really nice. The flowerbeds and the whiskey barrel were good ideas. Fantastic job! Can't wait till you start on the house.
...Good Morning everyone😀 For all you Desert Day Dreamers... This is a awesome video, lots of fun moments and great use of time laspe so it's fun to watch. I luv the design and methods of living off grid. Monson season is a force God alone controls. Live, be happy, and as always Dream on...
Eeeee!!! How exciting!! I can’t wait to see you start on the house! The solar shed looks absolutely amazing! Totally the right decision to get that all buttoned up first. What a beautiful building! ❤
Looks great! Love the color and the way it blends with the landscape. Also, the paw wash. You had lots of kitty help. Ashley is going to need a bigger pocket soon. Doggy romp, great fun! Can't wait to see the first steps of the house!
Ohh! It looks lovely! Another great job done! I do miss your artsy balls and swirls tho. But the color is perfect and I'd rather have it protected from monster monsoon! You have too many cute kids and things to comment on all of them! Love to all! 🥰🤗
Happy happy joy joy dance! It looks AMAZING! I hope that the elastomeric paint is the magic coating that you needed to make your buildings ‘monsoon’ proof! Congratulations for jobs well done! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences--both the good and the bad--with this cool build. And I love seeing your interactions with your pets and other critters. You may live in the desert, but your place clearly teems with life and love. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Well done on the Solar Room redo! Looking good on the Homestead! Thanks for sharing and bringing all of us along. ❤😊 Living and learning “I wouldn’t change a thing!”
Wow, you guys, it came out so great! I'm sure it feels good after seeing the finish slowly wear way. Congratulations on finally being at the 'house' stage🎉
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ the color and the up grades. Ashley you really rock. The whole family rock's. I have been following since you first began this build and all I can say is you all are the hardest working family I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I so excited that the family house is finally getting ready for the build. I know it's going to be hard but so rewarding for all of you. Love you all and will see you soon.
What a Great job! You must have such a sense of accomplishment! The Casa de Caca and not the Solar Shed! WOW! Cant wait to watch the house build! Thank you so much for sharing it all!
What a great facelift for the solar shed! Now that you have the coverage worked out, buildings going forward (and sideways, like the chicken run garden) will benefit, and your house build is that much closer!
That looks very nice! I hope the " Elastomeric Paint" holds up and provides strong protection from horizontal hail. Looking forward to seeing what your house plans will look like now that you have a couple more years' experience in the desert. A Hyperadobe / Earthship hybrid? Cheers!
So bummed you could not replace the bumps? blisters? with the stucco. I always thought they (along with the glass bottles) really gave the solar shed that unique one of a kind character. Gotta be a relief knowing that the stucco wont be failing like the earthen plaster did.
A beautiful solar shed!!!! Better , way better than I thought it could be. There is nothing stopping you all. Congrats, congrats. A ton of work but that didn't stop you. Can hardly wait until the house start....see ya.
I love your solar shed, the office and round room are soooooooo cool! Now the exterior looks amazing, also love the water barrel in front - congrats on the final upgrades!!!!!
I've used A LOT of elastomeric paint. Make absolutely sure that the underlayment is absolutely dry or the paint will blister. That paint doesn't breath. If it's stays dry it last a long time.
We gave it plenty of time especially in our climate. Also, elastomeric does breathe even though it's waterproof - though too many coats will cause it not to.
@@TinyShinyHome yes. We were in Las Cruces NM and a lot of houses would peal badly just like a sun burn. The contractor was in a hurry and didn't let the underlayment dry out. Your little house is looking great.
Can't wait to see how you will build the house. What you are doing is so inspiring. Personally I hope to see a house structure half underground or with an artificial hill above and ventilation channels from the back to the front. But it's simply because I have seen structures like that in the past but I've never seen how they were built. Anyway I can't wait to see what you will do!! Cheers from Italy
Love the color, y’all really did a wonderful job. You are now ready to start the house build grasshopper. Your b roll is absolutely phenomenal, I mean better than a lot of the professional stuff I see. I don’t comment much I know, sorry about that, but I watch absolutely every single video. Jimmy.
That looks SO good. Really hope the new stuff plus fiberglass is everything that you hope it will be and stands up to the monsoons. Wonder if a westside windbreak would help, also?
It looks so amazing guys!! I love the addition of the whiskey barrel too! I am so excited to follow along with the house build! 🎉😁 You all inspire me everyday!
Super job on the solar shed but we’ve become used to the great work you guys do. Anticipating a beautiful house, can’t wait to watch each step! Kids and animals add just the right touch of work and play, so enjoy watching. 🎉🌱☀️🐈🐱
I watched the whole thing plus the update. Y’all did an incredible job and it is a beautiful building inside and out!! You have an amazing and very cooperative family! God has surely blessed you all! I can’t wait for the next project!!!❤️
It looks so nice repaired and waterproofed guys! Nice job. I'm visiting family so I haven't as much time to watch videos. Thanks for this one Longnecker family!
Love how the whole family is involved including the cute Meowzer ... greet job and how awesome the things we learn, what a fabulous neighborhood all sharing great information, positive energy for success.. thanks fr sharing looks great!!
