We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who made the leap from city life to an off-grid homestead in Southern Arizona. We've started this lifestyle equipped only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
We’d like to share our journey of starting a sustainable homestead from scratch with all its ups, downs, and lessons learned. Watch us take on the challenge of modern homesteading, off-grid life, and turning this barren piece of land into a desert oasis.

Everyone needs to send you egg shells

@TheGremlin825 Год назад

dog groomers and breakfast restaurants near by you is who need to talk to for supplies

@georgedoolittle9015 Год назад

No such thing as too good a pair of boots! Maybe add a pair of Gaiters and now you'll have some very valuable protection from anything and everything.

@j.t.4072 Год назад

Hey, the lime plaster looks great. I’m so glad y’all opted for that route as a top coat. The white will help reflect unwanted heat, too.

@eleanorchapple8772 Год назад

This is looking fantastic. As for eggshells. You might persuade places that use a lot of eggs like care residences or breakfast restaurants to save some for you. It doesn’t look like you use a great amount of dog hair so your furry beasts might provide enough for you. I am in astonishment at your creativity, persistence and plain hard work. I find this project as you are doing it utterly fascinating.

@bcase5328 Год назад

Dog groomers might give you dog fur.

@themercurialmoxie Год назад

The dome is going to look super cool when it's all finished up! Nice job.

@leestimis9264 Год назад

I love how unique this home is going to be.

@ws4860 Год назад

My old aunt taught me how to prepare the egg shells like this: you collect the halves and after you have baked bread or something similar, you dry them with the residual heat in the oven. This has two advantages: 1. you prevent unwanted bacteria or salmonella from surviving and 2. later in the mixer, the eggshell lime becomes much finer and it also goes faster.

@gissie391 Год назад

It looke like icing on top of the cake .Grass is getting greener from where we saw it .

It's looking awesome! Can't wait to see it get down to the brim of the sombrero. :)

@allennolden8735 Год назад

The project is looking amazing. Keep up the good work. 👍 Hope your enjoying the monsoons we certainly are. 😀

@kimmyvankooten9752 Год назад

Tedious work, but it’s going to be BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it!

@Alextodd007 Год назад

Hello kimmy

@dmj1170 Год назад

Top of the dome looks like a payday candy bar with all of those stones. That light color should work great for deflecting the sunlight

@HalsPals Год назад

Thanks for the code. Got a pair for my wife and myself.

@telern5681 Год назад

The tenacity and perseverance you have of remarkable. It’s fun to watch your progress.

@wulfclaw4921 Год назад

Jessica ! LOL . That was cute how you had rhat big grun when he said Ingenious. Those chickens have it made !! The tiles around the roof look great !!

@brandons9398 Год назад

I’ll say this, when you guys started finishing the top. I thought lime eggshells and dog fur, that can’t work, I stand corrected! Looking good, damn good!

@M.Mae.M Год назад

Wow, that is so beautiful! Might take some time to accomplish but the reward will be worth it.

@ssfoste Год назад

Jess, you did accomplish a lot. You and Jim both have such great patience. you artist instinct makes you take your time and apply your medium appropriately, I am always amazed the the patience you exhibit as I have never had that trait. Your day was just great.

@paulaarthur57 Год назад

The dome does look like a snow covered mountain top. It’s coming together. Great work!

@jenniferleighmiron8135 Год назад

Great job on the dome so far. The view from the top of the dome is spectacular. I saw it and went WOW!! I'm sure living in the desert has its triumphs and challenges, but you are so lucky to have that view.

@Alextodd007 Год назад

Hello Jennifer

@albertdehn8381 Год назад

Thanks for sharing 👍😀

@jasontoolan3816 Год назад

Looks nice. I must recommend moving to the bottom now and building up with ur roofing. For good reason!

@spitfirewild Год назад

OH MY ............THAT'S AMAZING ! I Love it......you both just blow me away! Great idea's 👍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@spitfirewild Год назад

I really think the rock's and lighter lime/poo/hair ect lol.......are going to make a difference in the temperature. I can't wait to find out. And, the rock's look so.............so good.

@spitfirewild Год назад

Do you need dog and cat hair donations? I have 4 cat's and German shepherd/ husky mix. I sweep up a full sized dog every two day's. I would totally start to save it and send it to you.

@ZonDog Год назад

I could have never dreamed how you were going to do the top of the dome! Looks GREAT Jessica! 🤩👍

@bondpaz Год назад

Unfortunately a fresh shower doesn’t last very long anymore. Lol we are sweaty immediately. 🥵😆 Killer boots man! It does look like a little snowcapped mountain. 😃👍 Great work!

@mzimmerman1988 Год назад

I think I prefer the look of rock+plaster over just plaster. Good video!

@addieaucremanne6214 Год назад

So beautiful

@1971bovibovi Год назад

The dome has a cobbled look, that must be so cool to see it from far away

@JahleeyahKalonji Год назад

I love that you're using a lot of what's around you. Very smart. I love the rock and plaster, looks amazing.

@mentalneil Год назад

The top of the dome is looking absolutely fantastic

@deborahratcliff8179 Год назад

They have a wire toothed brush called a slicker brush. It will really help get the fur you need. Using it gently feels good to the dogs. And the brushes aren't very expensive and can be bought on line through many places.

@elizabethgeyer-green9910 Год назад

Really beautiful

@tardismole Год назад

I love your Link t-shirt, Jim.

@FishMH Год назад

Like a painter on the Sistine Chapel, you work carefully tediously to create a masterpiece. Amazing teamwork from "all" family members. 🐾 Peace and Strength ya'all

@007darryl Год назад

I think cutting a corner off of a Ziplock bag might work pretty good for Jess on the dome.

@lizcastro8069 Год назад

Jim and Jess, you have great ideas for your build! It's looking a lot more durable with the rocks and lime / eggshell / fur plaster! How will you continue to come up with all the eggshells? Can you get a local school or restaurant to save eggshells for you? Family and friends? I do think a CORN GRINDER which takes dry corn kernels and reduces them into a powder, would be better for your grinding purposes. You can buy a nice one at Tractor Supply or on Amazon. If you'd like to try it, a small coffee grinder might work, too. Save your nice blender from wearing out too fast - since you have a big task ahead. The corn grinder should be able to keep up with your work pace. You seem to be moving right along, now. So close to starting the inside plaster! Stay safe! 🙏

@13MoonsOverMayhem Год назад

"And the spell is almost complete!" Lol, adding some "shell of egg" and "fur of dog" to round out the brew. :) Is this the final coat, or will there be one more? Are you planning on adding any color to the final coat or leaving it white? Are you going to use the rocks over the whole building, or just on top? Let me know if you need more dog fur. Gracie is shedding her undercoat and we have plenty of GSD fur, lol. I can take the Furminator (undercoat brush) to her anytime and comb out a whole second dog, it seems like.

@ourselfreliantlife Год назад

We'll be leaving the top white. We have to switch to sand and that will have a grayish color. I don't know if we'll change that. I think we should be good on the fur. 😁

@tommiejones1072 Год назад

😂 I have a dog like that!

@ItzNikoWolf Год назад

When your back yard looks like a windows lock screen you’ve made it in life. Good on y’all.

@jeanchavarria8701 Год назад

Rolling pin works well for crushing egg shells

@renelenth6560 Год назад

Looks really nice Jess and Jim!

@girdygolden7041 Год назад

OMG!! What you've done so far is amazing 💯💖! Keep blowing my mind. Blessings 2 U both.😃😃

@alisonarrowsmith2064 Год назад

Before I watch I will guess that mylittlehomestead or tinyshinyhome are helping. Now I will watch to find out how totally wrong I am 😂😂😂 you have to admit, it would be a GREAT 3-way collab of youtubers!!

If you like this type of video, check out, Viviendo sin fronteras. (Living without borders) A hard working family of young Mexican people, with a respect for nature and eating natural foods. They don't speak English most of the time, but interesting enough to put up with subtitles.

@tarialorehand Год назад

I was expecting that as well, but then watched the whole thing and nothing. hmm clickbait-ish maybe? No offence.

@floriebrown2089 Год назад

That was lovely the rabbit and the birds all sheltering from the heat. Recently our temperature in the UK was 104 the leaves on my ornamental plants dried to crisp, the chicken was so hot I decided to spray then with water the little chicks loved it. Uvi is a lovely dog quite adventurous. That roof top is looking great, thank for the video.

@ralphkearns7600 Год назад

Just had a thought. I do not see any water collecting from your solar panels.

@don-parker Год назад

You can get crushed oyster shells which are good for chickens and could work in your plaster

@bobbiehudson4195 Год назад

Yall are amazing. Your home is so beautiful.

@elainedegoede6276 Год назад

I love the white top. It is going to look great when its done. 🥰

Mix the Lime with the Dog fur and we mix it all up... That looks great!

@RedandAprilOff-Grid Год назад

Looking good y'all! Hope we get some good rain this week, but hopefully not too much rain! 🌦️🌞🏜️

@ourselfreliantlife Год назад

Thank you! We'll take all the rain we can get.😆👍

@RedandAprilOff-Grid Год назад

@@ourselfreliantlife We just don't want a microburst or more than an inch of rain an hour. I love storms and rain, but that's more excitement than I want. 😅 ⛈️

@infotoons212 Год назад

For some reason the rocks and lime plaster make me think of dinosaur skin, which is of course completely awesome.

@carkmor1 Год назад

Suggestion...maybe ask a bakery in yr nearest town to keep you their eggshells.

@gandalf2439 Год назад

I watch Jess climbing and working without safety gear and , I have come to the conclusion that she is a Mountain North American Native . She seams to have no fear of heights, I can imagine her on some mountain top

@slunalang Год назад

@wibblefoof Год назад

Looking at your hoist, Have you thought that maybe UniStrut would be better ? You could use long lengths and make a "Ladder" or "Headframe" freestanding off the floor, mount your winch to it, and use Nuts and Bolts to secure it. Would be a lot stronger and safer than using wood ?
