This is great advice :) Hoping to collect rain water soon but will probably be going to get a pump for the interim soon :)

Awesome show !! Keep em coming !!!

@@RunawayMattCass oh I do water catchment also on each end of my RV it has these little spouts for the water runoff..my rv is a 2022.. I went to Home Depot and I bought these gutter extensions that kind of look like accordion tubes...attached with super duty outside velcro hook and loop tabs ( No way was I drilling in to my Rv) Because the accordion-like shape that they are I can point them in any direction, And I have food grade 55 gallon barrels under them with cloth screening to catch any particles leafs twigs and so on. Then on my son and daughter's 12x24 Amish cabins..gutters with IBC totes for catching water.. 6 people in 3 different residences we use alot of water also 4 dogs, 4 cats , 3 huge rabbits, 14 chickens So alot of water is use.. the only water we drink and cook with is the water I bring in for free from a filtered source.. Soon our sand point well will be driven..

Right! The area is just so alive :)

We will be setting up rain water collection for our home. Our current solution is just temporary and we don't want to over buy before we know what we exactly want. Although a trailer may be in our future soon.

Hey Kenneth! So happy to have you here for the journey. Thanks for the support

Thanks so much for following along! We have always lived and dreamed a bit different from those around us. Some hard work and good vibes have gotten us along way. Hope to see you on the next video :)

Maybe it is :) haha Such a beautiful place grateful to call it home

​@@RunawayMattCass you people move here and cause financial hardship for the locals. Blue state invaders no doubt

Awesome :) ya it kinda worked lol we will be getting a little twelve volt pump to help.

Thank you! Yes we did look into that right now it was a little out of the budget!

Appreciate that so much! We work hard out here on our ranch, means the world to have people like you supporting us.

Thanks Chris :) it worked perfect and already feels so much better in the cabin

I was prepping for alot worse! Lol when we did the insulation in the bus build, it was horrible. Haha, this was a little better, but happy the roof is in now 😍 thanks for watching. See ya on the next video ❤️

Thanks so much so happy you are here :)

Taking it all in! It is a slow process but we are learning alot :)

Appreciate it! We're loving it

Heck yes :) You are more than welcome. Your support and love means so much. See ya next time bud

Thanks bud! You and the fam will have to drive that bus over here one day and check it all out!

Thanks Bobby! Happy to have you here. We feel so lucky and excited to be creating and sharing our journey with everyone on here. Rad things ahead!

That is awesome! We took little steps and now we are finally here :) Thanks so much I spend alot of time developing our videos and our music!

We love it here to have lived in TN for 6 years and obviously never wanna leave ;)

Thank you so much!!! We are loving working on this. Can't wait to keep making progress!

Sweet! Thanks for the knowledge :)

Thanks bud :) Happy to have you here. This is all a temporary solution. We are ordering a pump this week to get the water out of the tank easily next time.

Thank you 🥰 can't wait to see this place come to life! Hoping you come along for the ride

Thanks so much! We are so thrilled to have this place :)

Thank you so much! It's quite the project but we are loving it!!

You know us ;) Always just flying at a thousand miles an hour lol. I think we secretly like the extra challenge. One day at a time this place goes from raw land to a home. That reminds me.... Time to get back to work :) haha

:) Thank you

Ya we know condensation from van life lol!

It's so true! Without those two experiences, this all would be so overwhelming (not saying that this isn't still overwhelming at times haha). We've actually had some hurdles this week but are trying to push through. As always, thank you for the support and kind words! Cheers!

GO VOLS BABY :) I think that is about an hour and a half from us. Thanks for being here for the journey.

Love meeting others doing similar things :) The cabin already feels so much better

Thank you so much!!! 🙌

:) Happy to have you here :)

Thanks for the advice :) see you on the next one

So awesome! ya it is a must if you wanna do anything in that space lol. We are so excited that you are here for the journey! Goodluck on the camper

We can actually get some projects done now with out baking to death lol. Thanks so much :)

Thank you so much!!! Working hard out here hahaha

@@RunawayMattCass little work, little play. What life is all about baby!! 😁

Absolutely! 🤘

Thanks Rob. We have a good heat source in our motor home for the winter and originally from upstate NY we are use to living in the cold temps. We will be making sure we are comfortable this winter for sure :)

AHHHH!! gosh we are so excited for you :) number #33 such a big deal! That would be rad. Also by than Jolene will need to be taken out for a little trip for sure :)

Thanks!

YESSS! Appreciate that I spend a lot of time on our music making it unique to us!

@@RunawayMattCass stayin' alive 👍

We will give it another try lol silly hose that we have been carrying with us for over a year now.

Yup we got the covers for the totes it should be a great solution to help prevent mold, mildew, and algae.

Such a good idea thank you :)

Definitely something we'll keep in mind! We do plan on renting an RV spot or two but never thought about selling one. Thank you for the support! Cheers!

We plan to order one this week online. This is all a temporary solution and figuring it out as we go :)

Thanks so much for watching! We will keep that in mind for sure :)

Sweet! That will probably be in our future lol :) Thanks for the informatin.

We are in the Cumberland mountains :)

Once we start collecting we will be considering that.

No petition needed :) Already on it lol 😂

We did this was just a very short term solution.

Unfortunately , the state says that if it begins as a "ready removable", you need to follow all procedure including permits and inspections (even though if we built it ourselves in our county, we wouldn't have to) It's very frustrating.

Thanks and we just didn't have a strap to tie it down and we didn't want it rolling around in the bed.

I just worry about people! I have the lady from a homestead youtube mad at me because she was showing everyone how to store Walmart potatoes. There is no use storing store potatoes they have hormones that prevent sprouting and are not good for human consumption. I have some store potatoes I sadly purchased last may and went soft. I have had them in my lawn in full sun for over a month. They look better now than when I put them out. They are not green and no sprouts. Scary stuff. Again I love what you are doing and you are so lucky to have a partner in crime!

Thank you :)

The insulation for the roof was around $300 but that dose not include the foam board

$9,000 total with shipping

It's all been a gradual process and decisions that have brought us here. We bought our bus for $3,800 and built it by hand (out of pocket) while living well within our means and working full time. Through all of our travels (and now on the homestead), we both work remotely. At the height of the market, we sold our house. We eventually sold our bus for a profit. We live and lived minimally in a way that most people wouldn't even consider for 3 years and were able to save the majority of the money that we were making. That all brought us here. We now continue to work remotely, make a very little amount of money through our work on KZfaq/Patreon/Instagram and plan to turn our property into an income generating business.
