We completely ran out of water when we had company over. So our day was consumed by hauling water back and forth into our tanks. Then Our water pump and water pressure tank was having issues. Needless to say this is a day in the life of being off grid. Something happen's almost daily that needs your attention.

Hi! We're Nick and Jen, a retired military veteran of 14 years and professional dancer/entertainer at Coyote Ugly Bar. Together, we decided to sell everything and break free of the glitz, glam and chaos of city life to move off gird. We live on our 20 acres of remote land in the mountains of Southern Utah.
We’re trying to be as self sufficient as possible by installing all our own utilities and doing everything DIY with as much modern technology as can make happen. Living off grid is about the freedom to build our own path one plank at a time. Life, indeed, is Elevated Off Grid. Come along and see what life is like as we continue to build our property and adventure around Southern Utah's mountains.

Off grid life is NOT for the faint of heart! Everyday is one challenge to overcome!

@Jman531 9 дней назад

You should also put water catching system on all the permanent buildings. Even if you only use it for outdoor use, it will save the water in your tanks. Something to think about in the future.

@hendo19742 9 дней назад

NEED TO CAPTURE MORE RAIN 🌧 WATER AND STORE IT!🤔🤔🇺🇲🇺🇲

@SunraeSkatimunggr 10 дней назад

You are going to have all sorts of critters making home in that shed without a solid floor.

@suzyqweiss 10 дней назад

Oh boy, of grid living you just never know what You're going to get. But it's the way you handle it. Beautiful job you guys!

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

So true Suzy! “It’s always something” is a daily saying around here. lol

@SunraeSkatimunggr 10 дней назад

I remember hauling my own water while living out in the desert outside of Bend, Oregon back in the 80's. Back then, there were no plastic totes. My dad made both the holding tank and the hauling tank out of fiberglass. Our driveway was uphill with a curve in it, so it was a real challenge to drive up it during the winter with a full load in the truck. After growing up in the desert, then living as an adult having to haul my water, I still am very conscious of how much water I use even though I live in western Oregon where we have lots of water.

@loucinci3922 9 дней назад

I like the shed. Should be a useful storage room.

@rosefazio1859 10 дней назад

You should put plywood down for the flooring or you will be dropping things through the opening of the pallets and then cursing yourself for not doing it. Lol

@suemorris6336 5 дней назад

I was thinking the same thing about the plywood on the floor.

@roberthughes2665 9 дней назад

@nancysimpson4246 10 дней назад

I had a smile on my face when I seen your video love watching you guys awesome family😊

@rosefazio1859 10 дней назад

Why can’t you get a water truck deliver water to you on a regular basis. They have trucks that deliver water to fill in ground pools. Would this be a viable option for you guys?

@ajarnsteve1958 9 дней назад

I would put a plastic membrane on the floor and cover it with good marine plywood.

@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas 10 дней назад

Do you plan to drill a well? It seems like it would be a better investment than the gas and time to haul totes. We have a 40,000-gallon tank buried mostly in the ground that catches rainwater and runs from the well. You should always have at least 2 sources of water. Is there a creek or lake you can tap? You can buy a surplus canvas billboard tarp and use that to collect rainwater.

@kennethalmond8922 10 дней назад

Love you're tubes! For the shed, seems like you need a solid floor to keep critters out?

@dennishedrick5108 10 дней назад

So many things like pick up the pieces when the snow crushes like a pop can

@flowerstone 10 дней назад

Those sheds are quick to put up for the most part. One drawback is that they sweat like no other. Condensation rusts everything and ruins cardboard boxes. Figure out a way to move the air. Those little vents aren’t enough. 😊

@Phatzzzs 10 дней назад

So glad you parents go to be with you for the water fun!!

@wadeprior5203 7 дней назад

Good Morning. Hey, how are you doing today? Have a wonderful day and God bless both of you and the kids.

@joseluisaguilar7153 10 дней назад

You should put gutters on the chop and the roof shedding those water tanks to help collect water

@craftman5632 9 дней назад

Eyes all lit up, all kinds of projects going on. You're going to be 60 years old when you finish all these projects and then you'll have time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

@loucinci3922 9 дней назад

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

@larryperdue508 10 дней назад

What you need is one big plastic water tank so you can just back the trailer under neth strap it down and easy peezy😊

Nick, you are killing it!! Keep up the hard work 💪

@stewartwilkinsonsnr 10 дней назад

Great effort with filling up with water. Loving the Shed ideal for your requirements xxxx ❤️💙❤️💙

@dougmacrae9535 10 дней назад

Don't feel bad, I had to put together 100 of those sheds one summer when I was a kid.

@elwoodlindquist9324 10 дней назад

Awesome video always a pleasure to watch and see the progress Thanks

@dmorgan28 9 дней назад

Wow you guys have really been thru it. I like that metal shed. That will be real nice. Are you going to seal the floor by putting something solid on top of the pallets to keep mice and snakes out? It looks good. Take care and have a good one!👍❤️

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

Yes we’re going tonight stall plywood on the pallets in the shed.

@ransomtester5347 10 дней назад

@KathySin1985 10 дней назад

@markbradley5333 9 дней назад

looking good with the projects, cant you pick up a old water tanker just to fill up the tanks and make less trips xxx

@BearMacTX 9 дней назад

Love the videos yall. We have a ranch in Texas and are building our own shops and hopefully a new house I designed myself soon. It's not as pretty as yall's land, but we love it being right outside a city of 100k people, and it's gonna be epic when we finish our automotive shop, metal shop, woodshop, showroom, and paint shop. We went a little crazy on them, building 3 buildings at over 32,000 sqft total, all by ourselves except for concrete and spray foam. Glad we stumbled on yalls channel over a year ago. It's nice seeing a fellow cowboy working on stuff.

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

Oh wow you have a lot going on as well. So you know all the work that goes into this life. Good job.

@pinkywilliams8063 10 дней назад

Do you have snakes? I would try to have a solid floor even if you have to use dirt, just a thought. Thanks for sharing until next time.

@blackarmouredbeast1989 10 дней назад

Using Rain in a Tank. Saving rain into water. Easy.

@ronaldsnider8078 9 дней назад

@barbarapadgett5538 10 дней назад

Where do you get water from when you run out ???

@sherryacox65 6 дней назад

I would put some type of solid board down for flooring so you don’t loose anything and do you don’t get snakes and other animals living in there

@James_71 9 дней назад

Can you guys do a hand driven well? If so, that would be cheap and useful. Great work guys 😊

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

We’re 7200 elevation and wells around us are around 300’- 1000’. So I don’t think hand drilled well would be an option.

@mikewinn1484 8 дней назад

Hey nice job!

@Gossamer314 2 дня назад

I would google lump coal sales I utah I just saw slack it $120 a ton and lump is $110 a ton that is wheee i live in the Huntington area. There was some in Nephi but they buy it from the mine in Huntington area. Also there was a mine near Alton but I’m not sure if it is still in business or the quality of coal. Hope this helps your fellow Air Force Vet and a former coal mines that’s way I feel old at 28 and it’s down hill from there. Also you can check KSL I saw some on there. I would check if your stove will work with coal from what I understand some of the new ones don’t. Also your stove will need fire bricks inside of it or coal can be too hot.

@Jman531 9 дней назад

You may be planning to do this anyway, but I would put plywood or something to cover the floor so you don't lose everything you drop. Dont need much just enough to seal all the holes between the pallets.

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

Yes we’re planning to install plywood over the pallets for sure.

been awhile since i saw your videos, are you catching all the rain water you can?

@barbarapadgett5538 10 дней назад

Did your water heater break when it ran dry???

@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas 10 дней назад

Unfortunately, that shed is made for a city space. It will crumple all too easily. Don't trust it for endurance...

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

I may put a couple post in the inside to help with snow load in the winter. Thank you.

@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas 9 дней назад

@@lifeelevatedoffgrid You might think about adding some trees you cut from your property as posts in lieu of interior structure. I would lay a floor of cement boards. If you leave the holes in the floor the critters will move in and set up living quarters quick.

@CCRider5312 9 дней назад

There’s no ground water for a well where you guys are at Or a spring on your property anywhere ? Or at least a reasonable rainfall for rain collection and winter snow melt for water ? Seems like a lot of unnecessary hauling of water OR you made a really bad placement of your house if there’s no water within reason to drill for there.

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

We could drill a well but they’re extremely expensive in our area. In the 6 figure range. The potential for rainwater collection is possible and is something we want to collect on some of our roofs. Just haven’t gotten to that point yet. Hauling is necessary for sure and is what most land owners do on our ranch.

@maryricketts8526 10 дней назад

Can't you put some sort of moniter on your watet tanks to tell you when they are low? I'd sure look into that.

@mikeduda3173 10 дней назад

Is your water station free?

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

We pay a small annual fee to use the water well.

@angeltyson1966 9 дней назад

Why aren’t y’all building a water catchment system that will feed water right into those tanks I’m not understanding you. You’ve had the tanks for a while and all it takes is some gutter systems set up so what’s the hold up on that just out of concern but yeah I just wanna know what’s going on. I’m pretty sure a lot of us are wondering the same thing.❤

@lifeelevatedoffgrid 9 дней назад

Water catchment is something we’re going to do but isn’t a main priority right now since we can go to our well and haul water. We haul twice a year for a couple days.
