After weeks of work, our off grid water reservoir (or 'big pond' as most people would call it!) is almost complete. It has been a long and gruelling process and we are glad it is almost over!
If you would like to join us on our off grid journey, we would love for your to subscribe.

Sorry to anyone who has had this video pop up on their feed twice. The first time we published it, it only uploaded half of the video! Thanks if this is your second time watching it and we hope you enjoy it. (In our opinion the second half is the best bit!) ☺👍

It's going to be so worth it! I love that you don't hide the bitter realities of creating this lifestyle. I get so cross at the only 'sunshine and perfection' vlogs. Greatest admiration for you both x

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Accecpting help is like investing in a baank as at some point everyone of us needs help and you will be able to assist someone. Its a very common thing over here in Cyprus that if you see someone who needs help (and you might not even know them) you offer to help. I live in a small town and dont know that many people but the people know me and where I live. This video was worth the wait, thanks for posting

One summers day you will swim in the pond from the jetty and the wet muddy days will be history.

Hi. Love what you guys are doing. Can I just ask, How are you getting permission to stay on the land for more than 28days at a time? Is it because the land was originally agricultural? Even then how are you getting around the planning laws etc? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I was thinking of buying some secluded existed woodland and just chancing a build but I have many reservations and I think I’d constantly be in fear of having to tear it down if I’m discovered. Do you reccomend buying agricultural and planting? How does it all work? Thanks

Great video as always. making great progress! I've a question for you, it's about rain water PH, are you concerned about low Ph of you water? I'm collecting rain water now, gave up taking water from my steam, too much turbidity and sheep crap particles even with filtering an UV. I had my stream water tested, the test showed low Ph, as in acidic water, I didn't see anything in your filter system that raises the Ph? did I miss something or maybe you are not concerned about. My test results says low Ph is not good for you, I'm expecting the same or similar low Ph when I get the rain water tested, but the rain water is so much clearer, I can't actually believe how clear it is but the low Ph is a very.

Thanks for the love hearth 🙂 Any thoughts on the Ph? The main reason I'm asking, firstly if you are fixing the Ph and if not, from what I've read, low Ph can have negative health

Would it not have been easier/cheaper to use breeze block and waterproof paint instead of liner? I hate to watch you struggle on your own. Dont be afraid to ask for help on these videos. People will give hours/days of their time for the experience and to be fed/watered.
