Hello! We're starting out in Nunn, CO. Our biggest expense is the well. Almost $50k!

@@chaoticdriver, for this kind of price tag, I would most definitely look into alternative water sources.

Solar could be pricey, depending on your demands from it.

Thanks man. We're ready to leave the mud behind and get into some lumber!!

Thanks Will Do!!

Truth!

Cool Spike- thanks so much. We got a lot more coming this year as we get into the heart of the building project and the homestead permaculture design. Also more on bees too.

Thanks so much- lots to come this year with our build & moving in. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much! Be sure to tag the notification bell that alerts you when new videos come out. :)

Colorado Mountain Living I have, but I started at the beginning. I will catch up.

Thanks so nice- thanks. He's a good friend of ours.

We are close to Nederland but haven't been to the Caribou Ranch yet- maybe once the building projects slow down.

Hey thanks so much for coming over. Lot's to come!!

Thanks for coming by!

Thank you for coming by! Much more to come this year...

Thanks for coming over! We have the right mindset, just need cooperative weather:)

Colorado Mountain Living ..isn’t that always lol 😆

Colorado Mountain Living It’s so nice to get here near your Beginning.

thanks. and almost a year after moving here, it still feels like we are just beginning.

yes!

Thank you for the support! Bryan and I both were in health care, i had my own nutrition business and he works in cardiology. I gave up my business when we moved because i knew I didn't want to commute from the mountains to town every day. So I switched to art- see my video on how i make $ from bees. He's still working- commutes an hour back and forth every day. We picked this area because he'd have more options for work. He also lived in Colorado before in the 90s. We both love snow & mountains and picked this area vs Vermont (where my family is) because the weather is better, sunnier, not as expensive with taxes, and more going on with close-by cities.

Thank you. Great ideas. Now that we have more of an audience, makes sense. At first we just wanted to get some unique stuff out there. And get better at making videos overall LOL!

It's a work in progress. It's much more difficult to keep bees in a long winter extreme climate. Fascinating hobby.

haha. Sometimes I wonder if we're crazy to start all this now, but nothing feels better than building your life with your own two hands.

Thank you! We may change the final design of phase 2, but we will decide later. The hats have sure come in handy- glad we went big there!!

Great to have you!

That was our reasoning to get one, that it would pay for itself. I think a tractor review would be a great video, considering we've used it for quite a variety of tasks!

Awesome- thanks for coming by!

Yey- we love Josh! Thanks for coming by. Lots going on and we're just getting started!!!

Cool , welcome!

I'm not sure what your question is, but yes we did have a building permit, a septic permit and architectural plans were required, if not mentioned if this video, they've been mentioned in several other videos. In Colorado we are allowed to do our own electric, plumbing and septic install, but it needs to pass inspection(s).

Understand that. We still work and had some savings and sold our house, so we were able to put some $ out for initial expenses. But we are not taking out a loan, if we can help it, that's why Bryan is doing all of the building himself.

That comment doesn't really help anyone. Did you have some kind of specific criticism in mind?

@@sirtimatbob no not really. That comment was two years ago during a pretty dark time in my life my apologies.. It reflects the pain of my own dreams of having my homestead changed pretty dramatically. I can see nothing at all wrong with your progress re-watching your video. I have 5 Acres of Colorado Rocky Mountain Land myself.. If you like you can check it out on my KZfaq channel. And to be honest you guys are living my dream and many others! Cheers

@@mmjnice97 Just someone that also watched the video, not the OP at all. Glad to hear things are getting better for you and hope the best!

@@sirtimatbob oh I thought it was your video... I see. Well yes things are much better now and as a matter of fact I will be posting my progress in the next coming years.. As of now the only thing I have done with my property is get it the four corners marked by a survey team..
