Y'all are just too cute! Loved the walk down memory lane...can't believe that I have been so lucky to have been tagging along for the majority of this adventure!! Love you guys, my Tiny Shiny Home family!!

@karenlemley8656 Ай бұрын

Best building ever. It's so much fun watching you build all that you've built. I can't believe the amount of time it's taken you to build everything. You've done so much in a little bit of time!!! Thank you for the entertainment!!!

This needs to happen twice a year! Also, the large permaculture community would love updates on the berms and swales.

Thanks for the property tour! I found your channel when you published the long version of the solar shed review and it’s great to remember how much you have accomplished since then.

You’ve really covered a lot of ground over the past four years! Your journey has shed so much light on the process of building an off grid natural home. It has demystified it for me, and even de-romanticized it. Off grid living is all well and good in our heads but until you put in the time and effort to learn, make mistakes, and try again - it’s just a dream. Congrats on coming so far, and thanks for sharing the journey!

@robkorpan Ай бұрын

That's a great recap. Almost like reminiscing about the past with old friends. I can't believe I've been watching your amazing family for so long. Thank you again for the video's and daring to try something new and different. Your living my dream life and with every video you put out slowly pushes me to getting closer to my dream. I truly appreciate all of you. Good luck in the future and I look forward to many more years

Jon and Ashley, Sustainable living is the key to life and footprint you leave behind is even more important for our planet we call home IMO. Not only is your channel informational and educational, the air of comedy you add to your segments makes learning fun! I for one, wish for your channel is, that it grows to reach the millions! Live, Love and Be Happy! Congrats to the whole family!

It amazes me how quickly the boys grow. In 9th grade my husband was the smallest kid in his class and over the summer by 10th grade he was one of the tallest. He’s 6’4”. My grand son was a little kid when we visited and by next summer pictures showed a full grown boy man lol. He’s 6” and still growing at 15 yrs old. I definitely noticed how tall Jax has grown. Beautiful family

Jet learned all he needs to know about electricity. He'll take this lesson with him in life. Now, let him use his new found knowledge and experience whenever you do electrical work! Thanks so much for the update. I didn't realize that I watched your "garage" remodel a while back....and never put 2 + 2 together.

The chicken run inside the garden-BRILLIANT. I’d love to hear about the pros and cons you’ve noticed about the long term use of the adobe bags vs traditional structures. Do you guys plan on trying any other non-conventional building methods. What others did you consider before deciding on this one?

@deborahberkey4294 Ай бұрын

Hello Shiny’s. Well you did it again with another great video.🎉 I have been with you for each project and it’s been great fun, but when you put them together it’s amazing to see just how much you have achieved. Keep up the great and amazing work. God bless your lovely family. ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻

This old grandma has been following you since you were rebuilding the garage and feed storage spaces. You 2 are so inspiring. Excellent parenting by raising self sufficient non entitled adults. Each of your children are unique and bring a lot to the table you call life. You have learned from errors and by offering work shops have allowed people to learn along with you. You are giving people the skills to work toward a life of freedom. I lived in Phoenix area for 10:years and love the high desert area. TY for the chance to enjoy your journey. Best wishes from San Antonio, TX

I love this. Not sure if it was a full two years ago when I started watching your family build, but I have loved all of it. I feel very blessed that you shared so much of yourselves. Watching you helped me through my husband's passing and the first year alone. Watching your kids helps when I miss my own but it is the middle of the night so I don't call mine, I repeat a good chicken garden episode. I pray for you often and thank God for the way He blesses you - and all of us through you.

Nice overview of your off grid homestead. I agree, Jax has gotten so tall so fast! It's great that you built the fencing first to protect your homestead for harm. Driveway cut in before you got there. Needed water so got a big rainwater catchment tanks and putting water into it. Things got upgraded over time. Trailer set-up. Made the Solar power shed first. Build something under 200 square feet so no permit for it. Put the solar panel array up, 7200 Watts and 28KWh of storage in batteries. I guess Shelter Logic Storage Tents were really the first things you built and the fabric failed. You rebuilt them much better. Wind is a very major factor in building things. The Dudes! I'm so sorry about Nine Nine but he's on my computer in hollographic sticker form that I love. Great that you put the swales and berms with the trees and you have wind and fire breaks and biodiversity. The chicken garden was a huge undertaking that was great practice for building your home. You'll get back to it at some point. I'm glad the chickens have a safe place to be overnight. Yay, Dino made a Pooh Room! House! Needed a place to put a septic and needed a place for the Airstream. You built the metal cover for it and built a water system from the roof and ran power to it. Then you built an outdoor shower. You use biodegradable soap. Yap, Hayden came and helped built the so cute superadobe dome that Adali will live in. Then the Legend Dairy Goat Barn! Soon to have an awning with water catchment and solar panels! The Hyperadobe Roundhouse for you guys! Family home! Thanks for this video Longnecker family! Happy Mother's Day Ashley!

Hi Ashley and Jon, this was an excellent recap of your journey so far. I didn’t realize how much land you had, or forgot. You must be really proud of your children, they are wonderful young people and seem always ready to dive in to the work, include play in the work and you all seem to get along so well. This has also shown how much your family has grown. I love your projects as you work toward making your home a desert paradise. Stay well, stay safe and enjoy life.

Hi guys...I'm a relatively new viewer, intrigued by what you've done in the desert. I'm 67 and don't get around like I used to, or I might be tempted do something like you're doing. I just wanted to say thanks for the overview. After the update, I can now identify most of your projects by sight, instead of wondering, "what is that outbuilding for...?". Casa de Caca gave me a chuckle... :) Congratulations on a project that would make anyone proud - and what a legacy you're leaving for your children, because they're part of it. All the best, from Fort Worth...
