How did we get here?
After a year of full time travel living the van life, we had to adapt when the world changed. To keep busy we’ve converted our tiny house on wheels into a fully functioning off grid home that has everything we need. Realizing that none of us know how long this new normal will stick around, we made the decision that building a home here was the best decision we could make. We've spent the last year doing EVERYTHING involved with coordinating and planning the build ourselves as well as setting up this off grid property to be able to provide us with the the food we'll need in the future. That led us to needing a place to live while we realized our dream of building a shipping container home. After lots of searching we finally discovered Geodesic Dome's and it was the perfect fit for us while we took our time with the container home.

This was one of those weeks where all the dreaming, planning, and hard work over the last year has really come together. These windows going in has completely transformed the vision for our home and we couldn’t be more excited. Two quick things we wanted to mention, if you were worried about where we were last week (and why we didn’t post), we always update the community tab right here on RU-vid if we’re unable to post for some reason. Keep in mind, we’re a two-man show and sometimes the construction, filming, the production of these videos can be overwhelming. Taking down-time and recharging is just so important, hope you understand! Also, there’s been some confusion on how much the project has grown and that we’re building a “McMansion”, while it absolutely looks HUGE, it’s the way we’ve been able to strategically layout the interior having open concept areas instead of closed off walls. Believe it or not, the home is only 1,600 square feet (the average home size in the USA is 2,300 square feet). We meant to mention that in the video but it slipped our minds! We can’t wait to hear what you all think of the windows…were you as sick to your stomach as we were watching them go in?!

One should always prepare your holes Todd, even this 73-year-old great gramma knows that, but I can't stop smiling. You made my dimples ache. We live in the woods of Michigan, a neighbor, and lover of Canada. The turkeys have already come to our yards for seeds and corn. The deer are here now and my big guy will give me a dirty look because I couldn't put much corn out since our 20 year old car broke down and it may take a few months to repair it consider what social Security is. I also have one little racoon that comes before dark. I put out peanut butter sandwiches for him, along with dried cat food and seeds. He looks a bit disheveled since he doesn't have anyone to groom him. He doesn't mind us behind the glass, I think he understands we are in a cage. I'm glad that therapy helps. I hope all of you have been well otherwise. Your fur babies included! We all love you.

It's always great to have an unbiased third party to listen, ask questions when beneficial, encourage self-reflection & provide tools that are applicable IRL be it personal, vocational, mental, family, partners, and pre-existing childhood trauma. This will all fall into place when you find the therapist that fits you & your needs.

@Anberel Год назад

I keep thinking this and not writing the comment so I’m just going to say it. We have an open staircase with 20 foot ceilings (full height of two floors) and it causes huge problems with heating and cooling our house because it funnels all the hot air to the second floor. In the winter this means it’s impossible to keep the lower floor warm without making the upper floor roasting hot. In the summer it’s impossible to keep the upstairs cool without making the lower floor frigid, there’s always a 5-8 degree difference between floors. I say this because I worry that your staircase tower will cause the same problem. You might want to consider a sliding door at the bottom to allow you to control the air flow.

For the fire wood, use a low rise trolley that you place onto "Ruby" , pack with fire wood, drive down to the house, then roll off directly onto the deck and into the house. This means you don't have to redesign the deck. Just make sure the height of the back of ruby and the deck are somewhat similar ! Hope this helps!

Re not moving firewood a ton of times, consider having an insulated wood box beside your fireplace, one that has both a sealed door to the outdoors (above high snow levels) and a sealed door to the indoors. You can load into it from outside, and load out of it from inside with a fraction of the heat loss and mess, because it has its own little airlock. This is one of my favourite features of all the self-built homes I've seen over the years (not my idea, but definitely worth passing along).

@edwardulrich1515 Год назад

It's always well worth the wait, Tyler and Todd; your videos are inspiring and entertaining on multiple levels. You're going to have so much natural light, so important in the North where one can suffer from light deprivation. Before you do anything to that "blank canvas" wall, ask your engineer what the "weight tolerance" is. Then you can narrow down your options: plants, waterfall, mosaic, art feature, etc. Install a slip proof ramp on your wrap around porch so you can wheelbarrow your firewood straight from storage to indoor wood pile. Install a grate at the bottom of the ramp to scape off any mud on the wheelbarrow's tire and anyone's mucky shoes to keep the deck clean. I didn't see Lilly, "Squirrel." Was she just sleeping the whole time? She usually makes an appearance at some point in your videos. 🐈‍⬛ At least we got to see the boys, your snuggle buddies, Charlie and Eddie. They can make any hard day better! 🐕🐕

@lornadoell Год назад

She made an appearance while they were preparing lunch. I thought of a waterfall as well. A living wall can be good to bring the humidity back to normal, from the wood stove making it dry.

@neilchisholm797 Год назад

The house is indeed transformed and with the windows in you will notice how much warmer it will be to work inside even though not all the insulation is installed. As for the wall in the tower, wait until the stairs are in before you try to decide what you want to put there. With the stairs and landings it become sort of a journey and you could use that to have an art wall, not having a clear vision of how that wall will look when finished makes it difficult to advise but, as a quilter, I’d use it to display quilts, both traditional Canadian designs and also tribal First Nation designs. Youre so deep in the woods living off the land to hark back to the First Nations people with their designs and then incorporate the pioneer designs too would ground the tower and the house. It would also complete the journey of ascending the stairs, maybe an eagle design at the top of the tower, a symbolic gesture to the freedom this house has given you! Just a thought from you Aussie mate, Neil in Australia 🇦🇺

Also, the magic and strength that it takes for a couple to last and even flourish under this kind of stress and responsibility is rare and wonderful. Now, to my actual point... if you can see all the way though your home to the other side, you may run into some issues with birds crashing into windows, trying to go all the way through. I know I am being a total drag, but you are both animal lovers, as are we, and if I can help you avoid some heartbreak.... I'm sure there are solutions out there, and problem solving is very much in your wheelhouse. Sending you lots of peace and good energy, things are rolling along really fast now, nice work.

@BlairMuellerArt Год назад

I think the only real issue with all these big... giant... windows, is the amount of birds you'll have flying into them. Especially being so engulfed in the trees as you are. I assume you have lots of birds around. My house is in a pretty big cleared area, but surrounded in forest, and we get birds flying into our two big front windows, and the tall narrow third floor windows all the time. You'll definitely have to hang some reflective things in front of them to deter the birds as much as you can. We had a dozen or so last summer... three were actually in one day.... they almost always die on impact. We've already had a couple this year and it's not even summer yet. Not to mention, if you get larger birds hitting them (crows, owls, hawks... etc), they could break the window.

@lisasidor7252 Год назад

Good point. My childhood home had this issue. It may be even worse with the windows that face each other. T&T are such animal lovers, they will figure something out. So, I’m 50/50 on whether the barking was about having the family together, or about the smell of real meat. 😂 Anybody else?

As much as I love living green walls, I find they can create some humidity in the space. They aren't super hard to maintain but they do require some work and sometimes they can attract bugs. You can add a hanging rug it gives texture, warmth and is artful or also because it is so vertical a draped piece of fabric also would be spectacular as a showpiece. You can also mimic the windows and have 3 art pieces that are similar to the window sizes. Whatever you choose you are starting with an amazing light filled space that is going to be a focal point. Getting really excited for you guys to start the interiors.

I grew up in a 4300 sq ft custom built mountain home in Colorado that had 18 ft vaulted beamed ceilings. One year my mother decided to have the vaulted ceiling windows replaced. It was a huge job but we had our construction guy handle the whole project so we never saw the custom windows being installed. One thing I will mention is that every year there were around 5 or 6 birds who would die when they flew straight into the windows as they only saw the reflection of the windows. I hope this does not happen to you guys. On the other hand we had a few humming bird feeders on our deck and it was awesome to sit in our kitchen in the afternoon and see the humming birds. It looks like you will have tons of blank wall space in your new house good for some wall art.

Landmine safety is essential when completing a long term project. Can’t wait to see the wider picture emerge.

WOW, how beautiful. Your windows are absolutely phenomenal. I was on the edge of my chair, ready to jump thru my laptop and grab a window or one of you. LOL, that would be a long jump from Lake Anna, VA. I'm not trying to be negative. A word of warning be prepared for birds to fly into your windows. I know from experience. The birds have propably been flying through any openings in the house all along, and they won't know that suddenly, there is a piece of glass in the way. Finally, I do have a thought about your deck for delivering firewood. Don't forget to look at the window above the deck, God forbid that a window should need to be worked on or replaced, and the deck ends up being in the way. As they say, an ounce of caution is worth more than a pound of cure. God bless you and your families for the inspirational role models you all are. Prayers for you from my husband, Randy, me, Steve, and Cooper, our fur baby. Oh, yes, he's living vicariously thru your furbabies, his furstars!

Wow what amazing views you guys are going to have out those huge windows. I can't wait to see many seasons to come. Your property is such a tranquil spot GREAT JOB, guys... I think that wall in the stairs would make a great wall for squirrel. She would love a few landing for her to climb the wall and maybe a bed by a window mixed in with the living plants. 😁 🐈 😻 she would love that. Lol

@debradebest323 Год назад

YES! AWESOME! Squirrel would love a window seat for sure.😊

It's so exciting seeing the house come together ❤

@ehayes7849 Год назад

so many changes - not fond of this version - will it ever be completed? seems they want this to be a 'life' project

@@ehayes7849 wtf? Lol

So many ideas for the wall. The obvious is art, but you could make it into a Library full of amazing books

Suggestion for THE WALL........ Interior waterfall with the pump for the unit hooked to its own little solar system (if you like) with a ""catch basin" at the bottom filled with rocks you collect during your outings and a few plants such as water loving bamboo, etc... Basically it's just a sheet of coarsely hammered copper that is attached to an angled wall unit made of a plywood backing and that literally drops into the rock filled water basin at the bottom... The copper puts off a warm, comforting glow while the trickling water creates a calming "white noise" that brings the outside world IN..... All the plumbing and pump are hidden behind the unit and can be reached by simply "unscrewing" the unit from the wall and pulling it out far enough to reach whatever you need to get too... Also... Because you have such a large wood heating system. This "unit" will also help add needed humidity to your home that the woodstove draws from the air.... (rather than having a kettle on the stove to humidify the air).... Beauty meets Function meets Happy Happy Joy Joy...... You can get an idea of what I am talking about if you simply google (images of indoor waterfall)... And don't worry about the cost of the ones you'll see on line as you can easily create and built your own (for the most part) and make it whatever height you like..... (Note: Gluing rocks/stones to the copper in random places will help to create more of a "trickle effect" and you could even paint the stones copper if you'd like so they don't stand out so much at first glance)..... Just a thought......... Bless

Nice to see your smiling faces. I have missed you! I hope you had a nice break! And BTW your place is amazing!

@kristinegoetsch8009 Год назад

Those windows and the views are spectacular. So exciting to see the house come together.

@carolew8297 Год назад

A living wall sounds like a great idea. The lighting would make it ideal for that space

With all the negativity in the World it is just so genuinely heartwarming to watch your journey. Thanks for sharing.

@Jen_Rose426 Год назад

So enjoying your videos lately!!! Everything is coming together and I’m so happy for you two!!! ❤

@williej3831 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love everything you are doing to your homestead. I am sure your parents are so very proud of you two. I am. Sending lots of puppy and kitty hugs to all the fur babies. I love them also.

Nice job bypassing that part at the end guys! 😂👍🏻👍🏻 😅 Glad nobody got hurt!

I feel a merch idea of shirts that say “… it’s a little bit more than we thought” ❤😂

The wall? A mural? Graffiti artist? Indigenous artist? I love watching the build and today enjoying the windows being put in. It is nice to see you accomplishing your dreams. Please consider how birds will also see through the windows.

@tytn9978 Год назад

Your window dilemma probably is one of Murphy's laws: the one item you absolutely need to start with is at the very back of ALL the items. Welcome to life! Also, I am so glad to see you back on the site after your Easter Break!

@debradebest323 Год назад

Congrats on the windows! I'm loving the build and wanted to suggest something for your tower's north wall. A stone clad waterfall wall with natural shelves and various plants. You could keep it clean and serene to suit your style and I'm sure you'd design it wonderfully! I'm excited to see what you decide. My mom, Carol Ann Hickey and I enjoy looking in on your lives and appreciate the beauty of your relationship and pursuit of your dreams. Thanks for sharing!! ❤❤❤❤❤

It’s looking great gentlemen! Tyler, I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling with your mental health. I’m sure Todd has also had his struggles. I can relate. I’m in my early 40s and have been on antidepressants off and on since my late teens. The epidemic we just got through was really hard on me. I was getting my PTSD triggered constantly by angry scared people. I wound up leaving my job of 12.5 years. I checked myseld into the psych ward for a week and worked with my doctor and psychiatrist and therapist to get my mental health back to where it needed to be. I’m doing much better now, almost two years later!! You’re right, having a good therapist makes a huge difference. You also know all of us are here for you as well. Seriously. You and Todd have built a pretty incredible online community. I would definitely do whatever it took to help someone. Especially for a fellow Canadian! 😉😝 Have a great week and keep taking downtime when you need it. You got this!!
