Hi, thanks for watching our video about our first 8 weeks turning this hunting shed into an off grid cabin for our family of 3
In this video we’ll walk you through:
- clearing the overgrown driveway
- building a water tower & getting running water off grid
- rat & mouse proofing the cabin
- running plumbing off grid
- setting up our small DIY electrical using a battery
- building retractable ladder for our tiny space
- making a cheap and easy DIY composting toilet
ABOUT OUR CHANNEL

HEY HEY!! New videos post Fridays at 7 EST (unless there's a hiccup), and if youre interested, we do a weekly email newsletter on Saturday mornings that is up to date (our videos are about a week behind because it takes so long to edit). www.woodysbarndominium.com Would you guys be interested in us doing a live Q&A? if so, when works best for y'all?

@michellepernula872 4 месяца назад

Did you just feed the rats then close up holes????😮😮😮😮😮 Good way to draw more in to eat then die and make loads of toxic black mold. 😬😳😬😳😬😳😬

@woodysbarndominium 4 месяца назад

@@michellepernula872 yes! That rat poison makes them thirsty, so they usually vacate to get a drink & don’t make it back. Pretty harsh, but I’d rather do that than keep dealing with the rats :(

@maggiemaysgrace 2 месяца назад

I grew up in an old old old farmhouse. We had a serious mouse problem. My Dad found a poison that dries up the dead animal...like really dries it completely up. That way we didn't have to worry about stinky dead mice in the walls. No bodily fluids...no smell. Win win! I don't remember the name except I'm pretty sure it had the word Star in it. I believe the poison was blue in color also. I could be totally wrong too. As always, be very careful with poisons around pets and livestock, etc.

We put steel wool in mouse holes then seal them. Works good for mice. Just a suggestion. We can't use poison because of our fur babies 😊.

Hi, we bought our five acres 40 years ago. We have dug up massive amounts of rock in order to live here and we are still are digging rocks. Any new flower beds put in are still a major undertaking. Since we are in our 70’s now it can be harder yet. Our garden is large but is all beds made from recycled materials. They are great beds and we have grown a lot of food over the years. Since deer are really thick here we have an 8 foot fence around our garden and some of my flower beds also. When you live in the Ozarks you have to adapt.

@woodysbarndominium 5 месяцев назад

Wow, I can’t imagine being 40 years into this adventure, I’d imagine it goes faster than you can express. I’d love to put some of my down time into building stone raised beds, maybe next year we will get around to growing some food. ❤️ are you also in the Ozarks?
