I built my family a home 38 years ago. Solo operation; worked after work sometimes until 1:00 am, seven days a week till complete. It truly was the best times of my families life. May God bless your family for the rest of your life.

You guys are the true gems of West Virginia. You took several years to build a house but, in the instant you moved in, you built a home. It is the "home " and its occupants we all love and cherish because you also built us, your extended family.

What a beautiful family, she is so gorgeous and he is such a gentleman. Beautiful family

this couple right here is a pure example of dedication commitment and fate,is simple proof of what human can archive as a couple with love and mutual respect, they just literally in another level

It's a beauty. Heart and soul resides here. Along with playing, pranking, laughing, cooperation and supply of Lil Debbie energy sprinkled with jokes, tickles and love. Behold the beauty.

.... and while working on this beautiful house build, you were also running a animal farm, raising and home schooling three children and making films for YT. A truly amazing American family! An inspiration for us all! Greetings from Bulgaria!

Building a house is different from building a home,no matter how simple it is,as long as you feel at home,it's priceless 💕

We are a family from Chicago that moved to South Dakota. We now own some land and are preparing to break ground on our well and hopefully the house will follow soon. Stories like your awesome family has inspired us to take the risk to move and follow our dreams. Thank you and god bless you.

I have watched every episode and still enjoyed the recap.

14:35 Ellie sticking her head into the hallway and seeing the camera, so she withdraws. And with that move, she became the star of the video.

Out of all the KZfaq house builds, this is it. This is the one for me. Congrats, great job you two

It’s amazing that this family has built this stunning home with no prior construction experience. This is definitely an inspiration of what you can achieve when you put your mind to it.

My mom would be freaking out if she saw that Saxon Math book in your cupboard. I wasn't home schooled, but my summers were definitely filled with homework she assigned me from those books...

I can just feel the pride oozing through the screen! I wish more people had the gumption your family does!

I really like this guy. You can see how much he loves his wife and how friendly n honest he is. All the best to this wonderful family.

Been following your build since the beginning and you all did a fantastic job! My wife Eileen and I are just entering our 60’s and we have been self doer’s and self sufficient all our lives. The knowledge, self satisfaction, fun, and closeness we have experienced is precious. Now we spend our time with 10 wonderful grandchildren and 2 children who live just a few miles away…….sharing our stories and knowledge with them……enjoying the fruits of all our hard work we now get to enjoy. Enjoy 😉

I swear a full Hollywood production crew could not do as good a job as you do making videos.

Having done something similar 21 years ago I commend you for your courage. The abilities the former electrican and teacher show every episode is amazing. Well done you two, you deserve to proud of what you have achieved.

I love his teamwork, imagining him in his dreams and fixing them in reality, his family is very beautiful and his house is wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us, those of us who dream of making our dreams come true.

Your family brings such joy to those of us who follow you. Erin, your photography, videography and choice in music is really impressive, you’re quite the artist. Josh is hard working, a super craftsman, and a rock for your family and his laugh is infectious. Your children are beautiful and blessed to be living the life you’re creating with them. And, precious Chuckie, making sure everything is right with this Wild Wonderful Off Grid family.

Your photography and editing are amazing and elicit such beautiful emotions. Thank you!

This is THE perfect example for when you work hard and love what you do, that DREAMS COME TRUE! I follow your amazing journey from the beginning and it's so inspirational. Much love and respect from The Netherlands.

I started watching this vlog when you guys first built the house. For some reason, I stopped watching about a year ago...and today, I watched this house tour! I am so, so impressed with how everything turned out! It has become such a beautiful, special home and you guys are so lucky to live in such a home that you, yourself built! Those lights are my favourite, and those big, glass windows!

Today I just viewed your 1st time lapsed video of the two of you + your 1st child working together to build this A frame house and I was truly amazed at how your wife was right there at your side working as hard as you were through out this DIY construction project and my compliments to your construction design both exterior and interior - allot of love you both have for one another comes out in these videos that you have shared with us - HGTV should run a special on this - you both are a inspiration to all that are fortunate to have had the opportunity to watch these videos - you have a beautiful home and beautiful family and you have so much to be proud of - it reminds me of watching a TV show called "Little House on Prairie" - thanks for sharing your story

It's funny to take a tour when you watched the whole process of building. Great content, you guys are the best.

Thank you for the great channel and to the reference of John Denver's song, Take Me Home Country Roads. Erin said, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.

My father built every home We lived in from my birth in 1957 as Our family grew & we all grew up...Last House He built was his Dream Retirement Home on a Hill in Laguna Niguel Overlooking the Pacific Ocean.. His Hobby was Creating beautiful stained glass that He created for His front Door, the large Porthole windows in Entry way & Above His Double Doors to Master Bedroom & Bathrooms ..Glass colors.. with unique Ocean Themes he chose to create in stained glass breathtaking!!! You two young people are building your own beautiful dreams...and doing it beautifully!!! Lovely Family..thank you for sharing ✌🤟🤙

I remember when you guys were installing the pillars for the floor. It’s been an awesome to watch along. Josh does top notch work. It’s so good to see a healthy family develop and work together. Especially these days where it’s so rare, you are an inspiration in more ways than I can say. 🥂 Cheers to the future and many more videos!

Went back to some early vlogs, most of which Erin has Ellie on her back, and the transformation is startling. Not only the beautiful house you’ve built, but the quality of your filming and the poise and confidence you now both possess in front of the camera. You both are absolute rock stars. Thanks for sharing the house build and your adorable children.

I started watching as you guys were working on the “A” framework. What compelled me to continue watching was the interaction not only between you two, but also with the kids, and livestock. Thanks, after I had complete knee replacement surgery it was easier to allow the healing by relaxing watching the build.

My Dad built our home many years ago right after the Second World War. Many times they had to wait until the building materials would come in. He started in 1946 and finished in 1952. He also ran his own business the whole time. We had four kids at the beginning and ended up with 6 kids a year after we moved in. There are lots of good memories especially my older brothers. I remember some but not a lot. You guys are just so positive about everything and that brings a lot of wonderful laughs from both of you. I admire you so much and also the animals that you have and the love you have for your family! God Bless you all!

No words to express how brilliant, connected with one another, and totally compassionate to what you do and say. God bless!!!❤❤❤

Love your tour, you have built a beautiful home with memories to last a lifetime!! I was a wee bit disappointed you didn’t reveal “your secret “! I am also anxiously waiting for the start of the bedroom wing.

All your hard work has paid off in more ways than one. The lessons you have taught your children and subscribers is priceless!

I haven't turned on my TV this year. Instead I'm watching people like you and SV Delos and other KZfaqrs who put out better content than the professionals in Hollywood. Watching this actually makes me feel good. Thank you!

14:35 Thanks for keeping that in. It's precious. Thanks for the tour. It's a beautiful space.

We’re all friends that have never met. Thanks for the invitation!

what a wonderful house with a beutiful setting. i have always wished for the very best for you and the family, looks like your getting closer. well done....

This is how life was meant to be. So proud of what you all have done TOGETHER. May source bless your house, animals nd ur family.❣️🥰🙏🏻

You can see the love and affection in this family. God bless them and their beautiful kids. This is what life is truly about, I am inspired.

Living the dream inspiring the whole world. Thank you for letting us take this wonderful journey with such a heartwarming family. We are all blessed to be able to watch this little slice of heaven grow.

I have followed you guys since the land clearing and I am absolutely amazed at what you have built. Its more than a house. Its a life and a future for you and your family. I tip my hat to you two and I am looking forward to future videos. Congrads.

Your children are so very lucky to be able to experience all of this. I lost my Father at only 20 to a sudden heart attack, but I'm so lucky that he taught my brothers and I so much about life... how to build things, how to treat people- live by the "Golden Rule," and how to love. My parents were married for 33 years before he passed, and my Mother still hasn't even been on a single date in almost 20 years (they were HS Sweethearts). So many children are stuck on their computers/electronics for most days... Your children are so lucky to be able to have parents like you guys and the experiences and life lessons you guys are teaching/showing them. Great job you guys! You are really incredible people. Keep up the uhhhmazing work! Your kids will thank you someday (if they haven't already). Experiences and hardwork are priceless, and by far two of the most important things you can teach your children (besides how to love & treat one another). Can't wait to see the rest of your build. Take Care!

What impressed me about the build was how well thought out it was. What impresses me about this interior is how beautiful and comfortable it is

Absolutely stunning. You both should be very proud. I wasn't with you from the start but i've recently caught up on all the episodes. Can't wait for the next chapter. Xx

Thank you, my brother got hit by truck, I need to see something that take my mind from worrying day to day. 🙏

That house means more to you guys because you poured your heart and soul into it. The memories building it will last the rest of your lives. Congratulations!

Erin, great song choice for the ending. You're right. We've been with you all along. Love the channel. Truly an American inspiration. Keep on keepin' on!

Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Wild Wonderful !

Have been watching your videos every week for over a year. You are so creative and relaxing. The current result is just amazing. I'm curious what's next. Warm greetings from Germany

Iiiiii love you guys…. What a wonderful family you’ve created and what a life lesson for the kids. Seeing their parents work hard to build the family home, working with animals, instilling good values they will carry throughout their lives… Congratulations on completing phase one, I can’t wait to see the new addition….. to those that gave this episode a thumbs down, we’ll just admit it, your jealous….

I am SO impressed that you are running cooling and heating off of solar!! Amazing work, thanks for sharing

You did not only build a beautiful house but managed to make it a home for your family as well at the same time. It is also beautiful to see that you, while building your dream-house, let your children be child and didn't force them to work with you because of your dream. Many parents can learn from that. You can be very, very proud of what you accomplished together and as a family. A great compliment to the kids too, I bet as a parent you weren't the most happy persons áll the time😁😉but you can see you always had time for them when needed. I am sure they have the (youth)time of there life over there😅

That's one of the moments (among many others) when the term "wonderful" takes all its sense. One of this moments when you can also remember the cold and hard sleepless nights. And, just what are you talking about !!! The house is already "wonderful" as it is now ! Again, congratulations to you, you did it !

I cannot say how much I admire you both as a couple and human beings. This what you have built up is almost my dream of a home, family, and lifestyle. The only one lacking in this equation is a woman as amazing and loving as this wife seems to be. Lucky couple.

Children, you have the best parents in the world. They built an incredible piece of heaven on earth.

This is way more than just a tour of your house guys! Revisiting all of the great projects and thinking through all of the wonderful memories associated with each one of them over these last few years is honestly a little overwhelming. (In a really good way) The laughs, the hard work, the setbacks, the victories, all of it. Inviting us to come along with your family on this journey and sharing your hopes, dreams and your piece of paradise in the mountains has been nothing short of life changing for so many. Loved the ending, you really know how to pull the heart strings Erin!!! Love you guys!!! To be continued....

Awesome story of an Awesome family. I have enjoyed the trip and am looking forward to the next chapter.

Thank you for the Geniune love of your family built right into this lovely house that you've all made into a home. Solid 💘.

U all ROCK!!!! ONE HELL OF A FAMILY AND I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ON THIS JOURNEY WITH U!!!!

It has been a joy to watch your family homestead develop over time. Believe me, a husband and wife who can work closely together and still laugh and kid each other is rare and inspirational. Hard to imagine a more idyllic place to grow happy healthy children. You are all so blessed. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Alright! Listen I am so hooked to this channel while recovering from knee surgery...im going to do the other one so as not to miss any episodes! You guys are making recouping easier! Keep up the awesome job!!!

I hope the journey and commitment of building this home and your way of life bonds you together forever. You deserve the best because you've worked so hard for it. Congratulations.

Thank you so much for sharing you journey with us. It has been a true blessing in these crazy times.

It's comforting to see God's plan in a family like you. Blessings from Costa Rica.

Guys I just wanna say how much I appreciate you. When I'm having a blah day, missing my mom or not feeling like going to work, I think of you and your effort, and how far you've come. Definitely inspiring for sure, thank you for that. 🙂 Matt- Massachusetts

Anyone that disliked this should just go away. This was such a great thing to watch. I love this family and all they share with everyone. Thank you for all you have shared.

I have been with y'all for some time now but have not seen the full tour. Beautiful home made with blood, sweat and tears but mostly love. It is apparent throughout all of your videos even during stressful times. Sometime I will have to go back to the very beginning and fill in the blanks. God bless y'all.

I don't normally comment on KZfaq videos but I have watched the building of your home and life with curiosity, interest and over time positive envy. I love the outcome, you family and your appreciation for what you have achieved. I didn't think it would happen but I look for the weekly updates. I am fascinated to see the next stages in the development of your home (and indeed lives).

Absolutely beautiful!

Really happy for you all! Wishing you happy memories forever.

The love is so apparent in this home. Congratulations on such a beautiful home.

I am short of words to describe how I admire the two of you with the accomplished the build of your new home the past 3 years. Jos has surpassed himself as a house builder and Erin had her input as a devoted mother and a loyal helping hand for Jos. Also she certainly deserves her stripes. I can only admire you both. And also about the fact that you have three very lovely children, who have also done their best in their own way to adapt all this time as Jos and Erin together were working on the house. And the animals.... I love all of them. You both have a wonderful family. I look forward to the new video every week. God bless you both and your children. Greetings from the Netherland. ❤️🙏‍‍😉

it's a great example to see you guys set such lofty goals and make your dreams a reality . Congrats.

I understand how things takes time to put things together. Yes you some times have to get away while building; it helps you look at what you had done which helps you to be motivated to keep pushing on. Congratulations 🎈 on building your new home 🏠.

Your family is such an inspiration to anyone that follows this account. Your ambition, drive and ability to stay true to the off-grid values is a real joy to watch ! Thanks for sharing !

I can not believe you did this in three years, you have achieved so much in those three years and I have enjoyed following you both and your family through this adventure and look forward to the second phase. You have built so much. Building a home, raising animals and then installing a solar system. Josh and Erin you both are incredible craftsmen, Josh can just about do anything. I cherish your banter, jokes and the inter action you have with your children and animals. I love your other channel as well. You should feel proud of what you have achieved, it is a beautiful home, full of love and happiness. Your children are having a lovely carefree wonderful life. Thank you for sharing. To the second phase. Have a great day.

Wow, Heaven on earth!!! Cheers from Spain. Keep safe God bless you all.

Thanks so much for bringing us along

So cool, can't wait for the next one!

I converted a 300 year old barn in England 20 years ago into a 4,000 sq ft home. I am now living my life vicariously through you guys. I absolutely cannot wait for the bedroom wing addition to begin. Stay safe and COVID free.

Thanks for inviting us in. You both have created a haven for your family 👍🌟

Congratulations to your incredible family!!! Been watching from your first lighting build video, what a journey! Somewhere John Denver is singing "Country Roads" with a special twinkle in his eye after surveying your awesome creation. Savor it bigtime!

You make me feel so proud, you have a proud, loving and wonderful family. GOD bless you all. You are so loving and heartwarming, your house is beautiful, it is filled of love and memories. I love you guys. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world. We are proud of this accomplishment.

This world needs more people like you guys. The example of love for each other and the true reward of having a family that works together. Your dreams have inspired us and motivated us to achieve our dreams as well. Just continue to grow in your love for each other and the children. They have not only the best Mom and Dad but they have the best teacher in the world. They will go far in life with this inspiring example of living. Love you guys, if your ever in Savannah Ga would love to treat you to the south.

I can't believe it has been 3yrs already. Wow, good job guys and yes Definatetly enjoyable!

Wow! Do NOT apologize for the bedrooms, storage cabiets, etc. This is beautiful, incredible and somthing we ALL need to learn from. Congrats! Truly amazing.

My uncle and his wife built their own home years ago, and I used to wonder how they managed to do it. Out of pure necessity, I've learned over the years how to do most of my own work, and my wife can do some amazing things with tile and other construction projects. We bought an old mountain cottage with great old bones, but needing a complete remodel. We've spent 7 years remodeling every room down to the bare wall and floor joists (replacing most of those floor joists), and doing all of the work ourselves. From electrical, plumbing, tile work and everything in between. We're proud of the results we were able to achieve. There isn't any better feeling than knowing that everything you see around you is a product of your own hands and hard work. And when the work is completed, knowing it's paid for is the best feeling of all.

me: clicking the thumps up button before even watching WWOG video

Boy what a journey it’s been fun watching you which I’ll continue to do

THE HOUSE WAS DIVINELY WONDERFUL. THE FOLLOW-UP FROM THE HOUSE FOUNDATION WHEN YOU CARRIED THE BABY HANGED WITH YOU. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND. HAPPINESS TO THE COUPLE ... SINCE BRAZIL-PARANÁ

So happy to follow your channels for all these years! Thank you

One can only say, you have done a great job, it is well done from day 1, life is a learning process, and the children are also learning as well by your example, and as the song says the only way is up, so i feel you will get things done and the children will proceed in life by their parents example.

I've been watching from the beginning but don't comment much. This makes me tear up! I'm so PROUD of you and your family's accomplishments and it's such an inspiration. Also, I love watching your editing abilities mature along the way. Well done! Looking forward to another 3 years while you build on to your masterpiece! 🌻😊🌿💕

I love the entire house ,the lights that comes from the windows love it

Congratulations on your accomplishments. You are a great example of what hard work and dedication to a dream can do. Loved watching your videos as you went through your journey. ❤️

This by far has been the best series of video’s KZfaq has to offer. A true American family building their dream home. I definitely feel I need to call out each and every builder on tv. This family provides wholesome entertainment you can feel and be apart of. Keep up the great work Josh and Erin. You definitely have the respect of many KZfaqr’s. I wish we could do something in return for your family to help with the build. God Bless You All.

Came for the power house build, stayed cos I fell in love with you guys, your lifestyle and your location. Huge congratulations on phase 1. So looking forward to the future you build for yourselves. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧

A beautiful journey. Enjoy every special moment. It's worth all the blood, sweat and tears to have what you've got.

I've been watching you guys almost from the beginning. So glad to see the primary home complete. You two are living the true American Dream.
