Sealing the Negative Reveal Plywood Ceiling in our Hyperadobe Solar Shed Office 

Watching you 2 is so sweet. You try to look at the camera, but it's like you can't help but look at each other every couple seconds. Every time you look at each other, you smile or laugh. There is so much joy in the connection between you two. Such a wonderful example of love for your children to grow up seeing. Thanks for letting us be a part of that each week.

Gosh you are amazing!, laundry in the heat, oiling the ceiling in the heat,whew, I'm tired just sitting here watching.. You did an fabulous job on the ceiling,! keep cool Ashley, Your face looked so red ! a hint for you: FREEZE SOME WASHCLOTHS and tuck one into your headband or your hat while you work, it will help cool you. and cold water will drip down onto your face,,neck and shoulders. LOL ! Bless your heart, your family are so lucky to have such a motivator as a mom/wife.! Love and blessings to you all.

Music was outstanding today!!! Love it! Ashley, your dedication is impressive, you hung in til it was done! You were in beast mode! Way to get after it!!

You work So Hard!! Very much respect to all of you🤗

Well I’ve been running my swamp cooler until about midnight. I have two speeds and it’s on high most of the day. But the swamp cooler can do the trick. You have to have one window open though. For example, in my 2 bedroom home I keep my smaller bathroom window open just to pull the air through the back of the house. It’s best to get ahead of the heat. Makes it so much easier in the unit. I turn it on about 10 am. 6000 ft NM desert.

I have a funnel with holes in it and a mop handle attached. When you push it up and down on the clothes it works like an agitator and does all the hard work for you. Bonus is, it builds up your guns.

Never get sick of watching your family. Y'all rock! Happy Father's Day dad

That oil makes the ceiling pop. Your family must be pretty proud of that beautiful solar shed you have built with your own hands! So cool

I had a swamp cooler in Parker, Az and always left 1 window open. It was 114 during the day and nights never went below 100. God bless all the hard work you go through Love your channel

Happy Fathers Day!

I really like the fact you are TESTING, i see others just throw stuff together.

Wow, that's a lot of moths! That is a lot of laundry! When you put your AC on in the afternoon it might take a while before it drops the humidity in the Airstream from running the swamp cooler earlier. The chicks are so cute. They look very happy. It looks beautiful with the boiled linseed oil on the wood ceiling. I'm very impressed with how quickly you painted that all on! And doing that in the heat! Too bad the chickens didn't eat those moths. The office is looking good!

Cardboard pad? Holy cow..... never even seen a cardboard cooler pad. The old straw one are THE best. Walmart still sells them, btw. They hold the water much much better

Just watched the ceiling sealing part. That looks sooooo good. You are a rockstar girl ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

👍🙂❤ keep up the good work , and stay cool as possible, God bless amen

One of the best channels! Awesome job with editing and music!

You guys are absolutely amazing. Working like you do in spite of the heat is incredible. Ashley is one in a million, there are very few women who would be willing to do what she does. 👍👍🙌

I'm here in Modesto, California and we have been 106,108 and tomorrow is supposed to be 110. I feel your pain guys. Love your videos and everything you are doing out there.

The ceiling is looking fantastic. I’m so glad you decided to go with the linseed rather than a stain, it brings out the beauty in the wood. Try the wet hessian “curtain” idea - it really does work. When I was a kid, in Girl Guides (what you call Girl Scouts), we used to have hessian water bags that we hung in trees when we were camping in the Australian bush. They kept the water lovely and cool... that may be a good idea for cool drinking water rather than using up fridge space.

Looks fabulous

That looks great!

Looks beautiful 😍

Looks really nice.

Great job

Wow!! That turned out great!! Good Job!!

Looking good

YOUR PANNELS LOOK VANTASTIC cant wait to see more

Love your music…and your videos too!

The ceiling looks fantastic.

I feel your pain. When dealing with that kind of heat I just feel mad. Painting watery substances overhead is so messy and you persevered and conquered with beautiful results. I applaud you!

Like your Az. back ground

Ceiling is really pretty.

Put a temporary door on the shed, open the windows at night and in the morning when you wake, send someone out to shut the windows. And take the swamp cooler out there and see if you have a nicer temp inside.

Gosh, even though I knew what was in that tote, I thought that was an outdoor toilet when you opened that I’d.

Another great video, y'all! We have been binging on Tiny Shiny over the past week. ❤️You're a beast, Ashley! The ceiling looks fantastic. Love how it turned out. I'm so glad that y'all get the swamp cooler figured out. Have you seen those cooling hats? It might help a bit when you're working outside.

It was 111 here yesterday in Marysville Ca. It has been unbearable. Glad to hear your staying cool.

Really glad you got that good advice on proper use of a swamp cooler! Back in the day in the low desert a swamp cooler was all we had and temps are regularly higher than what you are experiencing right now. Great job on your mud hut...best one I've seen lately! Get better sun protection for you and your kids, please.

Ah, what to do now. We binged all the shed updates for the last week... gearing up to try our own project out here in New Mexico! Thanks for beta testing processes- we learned a lot from watching. Can’t wait for the next update.

So awsome .....I also love the music u play in background..dont recognize the music

Good work guys! Consider a shade sale over the camper and connect some of your new panels on the ground to charger the airstream solar batteries.

Well .. my favorite tiny shiny heat struck homies ..thats comin up a treat ..yes sirree bob ..😍😎😁pip pips and carryon pilgrims

One way to get the best results of the swamp cooler is to feeze jugs of water into blocks and set in water reservoir so it cools the water dripping

We just moved from AZ... thanks for keeping the desert cool you awesome peoples!

Did I just watch you do laundry and enjoy it??? That’s some impressive video editing skills right there 😂 Seriously though, watching you guys make your dream happening, laundry and all, is great - keep em coming!

Salt of the earth💪🏼♥️🌹⚒️

Impressed with how much that Oil - adds such a rich Honey color, and brings out the beautify of the wood grain! Nice! Curious to know if - roof vents - that operate by wind - would be helpful to pull heat out of the cob buildings? (especially after getting them closed in) I can't imagine what you all are going thru - I can't handle the head much after it gets over 85 - Love the videos! Great job and Lots of work! ;)

Oils can delaminate the 3/8 ply if put on to much so I would use clear water based poly and water it down a little to spray it.

I use to work shift work... I remember going in at midnight leaving the house at 11:30 and it was still over 100*... at 10:00 this eve. it was 107* We've been in the 120's the last few days. Probably plenty hot up at your ceiling level... well done... Mom needs some time off...

Champions!!!

I saw this stand in Mexico where the designer bent (metal) pipe and stretched (colorful) cloth across it in a way it could be adjusted to block the sun at any angle. That one had two half circles that were welded to two parallel bars - across the bottom - to hold up the two sides. I bet you guys could figure out a way to do the same thing. It blocked the sun early in the morning, mid day and late in the afternoon. It also, where I saw it, also blocked a bad view too. ..).....). Or. ..)^^^^^) or )_____). Or ...... And you can move the whole sun blocker-shade maker to wherever you are gathering or spending time.

Toilet plunger is a great help in hand washing. Now if you could just get your hands on a wringer washer from my chid hood you would be so happy. I’ll just wiggle my nose and send one! I wish!

The ceiling looks nice. Smart decision to experiment on some left over pieces first. Kind regards Christiaan

that sealing looks beautiful. you know, i was thinking, you actualy can cover up the airstream, just go around the solar panels. we also got that heatwave here now, in europe. pretty annoying that is.

Hi sweet family. I just converted 100f to C it's 37c Here in SA we have about 3 to 5 days a year that reaches that. But never more than two days in a row. Last year we had a few in the 40's up to 45C but we're right on the coast. So it's only for a few hours if it does happen. Just sharing. Hang in there.

I've spent 4 days and countless hours watching your videos and finally, I'm caught up!!! I think you guys are doing an amazing job!! The ceilings look great! I wonder, would using the paint sprayer have worked to apply the oil or would it have not have soaked in correctly? Hmmm maybe spraying them on the ground before install? Please ignore me haha im just pondering at this point lol

It`s , Not Hot Just Warm..Up , Here Where I Live It Was 118 The Other Day..Wait , For July And August For The HOT..Change , The Pad From Cardboard To Straw And Make A Screen For Your Shed Door.. That , Should Take Care Of The Moths. They , Also Like Moisture It , Is Now Monsoon Season And The Humidity Will Rise .. Enjoy , The Videos So Keep Them Coming .. Hi , 99 ..

Wow!! Mama you are truly an amazing mom, I don’t k in where you get the energy for all you do, especially in this horrendous hearmt !!!

Really nice progress. Building anything in the high desert is a physical challenge! We’re at 5,280’ in the Northern Arizona High Desert and we’ve had one day in the last 7 below 102 ... hit 109 several times. Ugh. When it’s that hot we’re up at 4am and working by 4:30. Breakfast is at around 9 and then back at it until after 12. Evening work was about 6-9pm. Long hard days! Good luck in the heat!

Love the ceiling. You made a great choice using the linseed oil. What was the mineral spirits for?

Those top windows need to be open to set up a convection draft. Earthbag's gotta breath.

You might need to at small vents on the top of the walls for ventilation maybe that will be less humid.

A question of neophyte in this matter, are you going to put hay in the finishing cob layer ? The ceiling is beautiful ! 👍

Wow!!! Still able to work in such heat and at that elevation too, amazing! I understand that you can't cover the trailer solar panels, can you at least shade any of the sides of the trailer with something? Anything to keep the sun off of as much of the structure should help. Best wishes, and looking forward to your next video. Cheers.

Sun gold tomatoes, 8 plants in the back yard- still a couple weeks from fruit. You are killing me.

Swamp cooler at one end. One window opened one inch at other end.

I dread the one month of moths every year. I don't know how they get into my place. I only have a few this year but in 2019 i had about 200 in the house at once. If you don't keep up on removing them everynight they add up!

I have a proper phobia of moths - I’m okay when they are still and can just about bear it - but seeing them moving was giving me the full on heebees

OMGosh I honestly wouldn't have thought about feeding the moths to the chickens BRILLIANT!!!!! OMG I'm sooo bummed I typed that BEFORE you tried to feed them..... :( Maybe they had already had their fill OR they were just as grossed out as you were lololololol

I was wondering, have you tried running the AC at night to get to the coldest, possible air since you have the gen on anyway. Then do the swap cooler once the sun rises. My brother in west texas, use the AC at night to lower the house temp to its coldest (50 degrees) and then shuts the AC off in the morning. He gets free power from 8pm to 6am. The house keeps cool most of the day and gets to about 80 by free power time. Love the channel. If you built a carport style cover for your trailer, put additional solar panels on that roof, with long connectors to hook into your airstream inverters, would that work. This would also give you a water capture area too.

I'd prioritize just setting that huge mass of solar panels on the ground like Will Prowse to run the AC all the time.

What about building a cover over the airstream with solar on top. A couple of feet above the top of the trailer. (I know-money) protection from the elements but still get solar. Also, residential wind turbine could probably get you some more power out there with all that wind. Apologies if you’ve already discussed these.

Spray paint the air stream quick and should lower inside temp by about 5°

How long do you spend searching out music for your videos? I always really enjoy the music and am impressed at the variety. Nice!

Try adding ice in your swamp cooler.

It would probably cool your whole trailer, one or 2 little boxes

Did you look up what a ticking stick was?

You might want to go under ground like in Star Wars a new hope

Have you thought about earthship or underground construction to beat the heat

In all this heat, when you touch the inside wall of the Tiny Shed is it hot too?

It's Miller Time (Miller moths)

Can’t send help! Suffering heat exhaustion in central Texas.

Have y'all considered masking the ceiling off w blue tape and mud up to the edge of tape to not stain the wood..?

Those moths are attracted to your denim insulation. That could be problematic since they will eat through it and multiply as they do. That's why moth balls were invented, to keep them away. I don't endorse using them, they are made of naphthalene or PDCB(not even gonna attempt spelling that word). It works, but smells really strong. Maybe there are other ways to get rid of them. Usually our cats love to catch and kill the moths at my house. Definitely want to get rid of those pesky moths completely. A wet/dry vac is a great tool for moth containment.

Without insulation - the hyberadobe is a thermal mass and it will store and radiate heat ! - :)

My kids thought life was hard because I made them do their own laundry-using a washer and dryer....here you are washing clothes for everyone by hand and hanging them on the line....

My lord, Momma is working her butt off! Girlfriend, you need some shade, and a cool drink for a lady! ♥ Curious, why would the moths go in there? That was pretty creepy. At least the cat was semi interested in them. Oh yes, and the soundtrack? KICKIN'!!

I don't understand why your swamp cooler is not working for you because I have seen those cool a building with no insolation what so ever. You can cool a barn with one of those things. Maybe yours is not big enough??

What size generator?

Why dont invest in one of those new cool air boxes that runs on water only😁😍

How about a large shelter just with a wood and tarp. For sitting and outside work. 👍👁👁U.🏝

man if y'all had some chickens they'd be eating like kings... O wait y'all do have chickens eating like kings >:)

Will prowse has temporary ground mount system using San Tan solar panels. You could run your ac all day with the panels you bought from them! Check out his youtube channel.

Are you guys due for the monsoon season, will that harm your building?

Gloves... chemicals in paint and stain...detergents soak through skin and causes arthritis(I did laundry by hand for one summer and saw my joints in my hands changing 40 yrs ago. I quit it and use gloves for dishes too, I’m 68 yrs old and my hands stayed the same since then.)

No……It’s real hot in Phoenix…..It’s hot, I will give you that, but it was 113 at 9:13 this morning on my way to work……and 120 on the way home….

Is that smoke behind you?

How about 2 or. 3 big. Big fans blowing

Those moths are like the beginning of a horror movie lol ug

What state is this?

The ceiling looks great! "Atta boys" all around for that one! Two maybe "helpful" hints... 1 - When we were building the house Tina washed our clothes by hand. It worked best once she got 2 #3 wash tubs and a toilet plunger (not used obviously). Just use the plunger to swish them up and down in the wash water, then the rinse water. She was able to motor through them pretty quick once she figured out that trick. 2 - The chicks probably do not need a heat lamp any more. Yours are about a week younger than ours. We stopped the heat lamp last weekend and everybody is fine without it. Lastly, feel free to stop by with the kids if you just need to cool off in the afternoons. We've got ice cream, soda pop and A/C so the afternoons are tolerable (at least when we come inside to cool off from drilling fence post holes for the chicken yard).
