I totally agree with you about taping before you paint. Tape creates more problems than it solves. A steady hand and patience works better.

Omg y’all are absolutely adorable, I’m new to your channel but I’m instantly hooked on your process and definitely to your beautiful personalities!!!!

Great job painting Cass

I would build a cover over the camper with a metal roof on it then put a screened in porch on the front side and in the winter you can put plexy glass on so the sun will help warm it up , that's a nice floor plan

I'm a new viewer, and I encourage anyone who lives off grid. I do have some advice on your faith wheel it will save u from frozen water/sewer pipes, and I general frozen feet. I live in southern Missouri and we have the same climate so.. u will want to enclose the bottom of your fifth wheel wether it's with plywood or haybales whatever you choose make sure to use insulation then u will want to install a few heat lamps under there and In the under storage compartments they don't need to be heavy duty or even keep it truly warm just above freezing, also Lowe's sells an insulated hose for water connection that works wonderfully and don't use metal connectors they will freeze also might want to build a small insulated shed for your water tote

Looking forward to seeing what you have done next Sunday! Your get-to-gether sounds fun! Feel better soon Cass. and as always, blessings to you guys from the Oregon coast.

Great video. Those babies that you found under the couch are what we put in King Cakes. I love your lifestyle. ❤

Love those colors! Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the remodel. Hope things go smoothly ❤

Fall is so beautiful! You folks have some incredibly beautiful land. Your new camper looks so cool framed by those trees, all in fall colors. Excited to see you transform your "new" camper

The bedroom came out good ! Man Cass is SRRONG ! Think she cuddah handled the couch w/o ya ! LOL Hope you fdoing better Cass

When Matt started listing what he found under the couch, I got a good laugh! I do that when I find stuff in the dryer and a couple of years ago, I found a mini naked babydoll almost EXACTLY like the two he found. I posted it on Facebook and we still laugh about it today and our middle child was the only one living at home. He was 22 at the time.

Hard work pays off !!!! You all are living the dream 😊 It all starts with these memories. You could tell stories of all of your adventures. I remember it so well. So there I was...I was living in Tennessee when the Asian beetles arrived, I suddenly broke out the shop vac and......

Just a thought about the cement you are going to use for the root cellar. My brother lost his home in the June 22, 2012, Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 340 homes were destroyed. When they rebuilt they made a safe room in the basement out of cement. The same type of cement they use for runways at airports. They put a steel door for the room. He had several gun safes in the house, the fire caused the ammunition stored in the safes to explode and bullets went through the safe. Thanks for allowing us to join you in your journey.

You two are sooo lovable. Glad you are here sharing your life with us! Shalom 🌿

You can call your new place High Five!

Good morning you guys hope you guys having a good morning it's Sunday morning I hope you guys be able to get things done and like you're supposed to get mine but have a great day and God bless you guys and hang in there eventually but I don't know what's going to happen but have a day

Product to keep on hand to wit: "Through the Roof". Small patch jobs this product is great for and I sealed floor around toilet. If you have built in drawers, check underneath to assure creatures have no access. Paint job is expert, color surprisingly does not make room appear smaller. Speedy healing!

Wow love that color as well turned out beautifully, can't wait to see the end results

On your cabin, remove windows and door and remove siding. That gets you down to the rough in. There by building back is constructed on site. Good luck on your plans

I have a 1992 Jayco 5th wheel camper. Although the bedroom is above the 5th wheel, I enclosed the underside to keep the bedroom warmer as I'm up in the North Woods of Wisconsin. To keep your living room warmer,that might be an option besides providing a space for storage

If you keep a wet wash cloth with you while you paint, use it to wipe off any mistakes as you go. Just make sure and use a clean part of the cloth each time

I use vinger and a splash of dawn, spray around all doors and windows to keep the stink bugs and lady bugs out. So far has worked pretty good

Cass you are such a trooper. I just got over this stupid new flu that’s out this year. (Sounds like I tried a new coat or something) But seriously it was no joke. I slept for four days. But to see you up and going is wonderful just try not to overdo or it’ll knock your socks off and you’ll be fighting round two. The color of the bedroom walls are astonishing beautiful. I never would have thought of that color in a bedroom but I am now. Lol. Can’t wait to see more progress. I love how you two do so much together but on your own little (well big) projects it seems to go by faster for you than tackling one project together. I’m seeing you coming your way and your hubby coming from the other way and y’all meeting in the middle of the kitchen. Lol. Y’all are just great and I love the positivity in all of them. You guys are great. Can’t wait till next weeks episode. Love and hugs all the way from Zephyrhills Florida. 🤟

I agree not using blue tape. I majored in art and you learn to stay in the lines ! Great job...love the color !

They say to spray the outside of your place with soapy water. That is supposed to help keep out the Asian beetles. I would put a skirting around the camper that is insulated. For the hole you put in that spot, just cut a one by and screw it in the back and then you can just put your circle back.

The color is beautiful in the bedroom!

We just spent the weekend in Jellico and those beetles were everywhere inside our cabin. Didn’t ruin our relaxing weekend a bit. Nature, right?

I would love to live like that because I wouldn't have to worry about anything else but do what I wanted to do and your new place looks very nice

have you guys got a 5th wheel brace thing for the hitch yet? you will want one for sure but there kinda salty. i paid like 225 bucks a few years back for one. plus i would clean the roof and get a 5 gallon bucket of the white rubberized roof coating and do 3 to 4 coats b4 it gets crazy cold.you could use the thing behind the couch and do some small spears facing up in the top.....i would also go underneath and check for exposed pipes and insulate w some wrap for freezing.lots to do lol

Great video Matt and Cass

Cass your confident I like that

I find its helpful to build a big deck just on cap block with a 2x6 frame for the camper first and then do my remodel. It seems to make everything feel easier.....Keep on keeping on.

We are just starting our homestead in Williamsburg KY! We have the asian lady bugs too...everywhere....just keep sucking them up! LMK where ya'll at!

Love the color choice!!! Looks wonderful!!

I love in a Rv for about 4 years now and we did some remodeling like tore carpet out we regret installing wood floors we have a wood stove in here to stay warm and we play hell keeping it warm so keep that in mind

I live in Western TN, and also found a lot of Lady bugs hanging on the doors and windows of my house

Ohhhh I want the creepy babies!!! LOL

I love the color choice. I’m loving what you two are f doing so far and I can not wait to see what you do next. So exciting!❤

I never use tape either, ive used different size brushes to get close. I like the colors too.

I just paint with a wet rag or towel and if I miss clean it up right away. No tape and it's easier then paint thinner if you get it when it's still wet.

Can't wait to see how this camper will look guys and since you are doing the work yourselves the only ones to criticize the work is yourselves. Carry on guys be careful and stay safe God love ya both ❤

I so glad I ran into your channel 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽

F blue tape.. never touch the stuff 😂😂😂👊😎

You should add extra insulation first. Campers aren't meant to live in year round. Good luck! 4:27 ck

LOVE THE COLOR! Hope yall feel better soon

Love the bedroom color!!!

Oh yes that nasty carpet and couch is gone bet you had fun pulling all them Staples out 😊 I will never have wall to wall carpet ever again. It holds dirt and smells and makes a love nest for fleas. Maybe put down light burned bring out the wood grain of grade A plywood with Thompson weather seal . Oh yes I agree about the blue tape , green frog tape what a waste of time and money and wet rag for water base paint or what you said for oil base . That tape is good for like painting cars and trucks.Thumbs up great job.

Love it all!

Idea…..if the bug problems are real, you can get a bug catcher and feed them to some chickens…..just sayin’….😁love the content guys!!✌️🤟

I’d suggest you think about just putting on a clear coat on your bedroom ceiling. 😊

Call it Cass’s Casa🤗

Colors looks great the old sofa and carpet are gone the smell should becoming livable now .nothngbut hard work hopeyu make before the real cold hits .Happy trails

You guys rock!!! Get it. Love you Matt and Cass!

New sub! We want to do this SO bad so you’re going to be our guide. PS: we’re twice your age. New empty nesters, want to go places in our OWN space.

You guys have the best smiles love your excitement

Awesome video God Bless you and your family

kudos to you both!

Love it

Looking good guys nice paint job you are a professional painter don't let anyone tell you different lol hope you feel better

I love the color! I don’t like blue tape either. Feel better Cass and I hope your knee is ok Matt! I really enjoy your channel, look forward to it each week. Take care of yourselves!

This Video was cool More Please Have Fun Happy Halloween

Thanks for sharing ❤😊

Awesome job looks good

Love the bedroom color! Hope everyone feels better soon!!

Really good advice love your episodes

Cool video. Your land looks amazing. I think I am a couple hours away from you guys in TN. The ladybugs know the cold is coming. Been crazy at my place also. Vacuum is def the way to go. I think there is also a spray for the outside but not sure how toxic it is. They will be gone soon enough. Tuesday night is gonna be cold.

Awesome. Great video

good job guys looks so great

I do hope you put the old lounge in your cabin . And used that old carpet for wet dogs to snooze on. The painting and reno are looking good. Get well Cass. And keep up the positive attitude Matt, that fridge/freezer looks rad. May blessings abound, to those who are found, ŕř

Just found your channel and loving it!

The two of you are kicking ass and taking names on your new 5th wheel camper !! Look great 😊 ✌🏼😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🍻🍻🍻

I hope it's not to late, but I think your ceiling in the bedroom would look amazing burnt. It's super easy to do and the finished product is so nice. Not to mention it would go great with your western theme

❤❤❤

Do you know about Travis Heinze? Have you ever considered letting him live on your property, perhaps as a caretaker or an overseer? I want him to hook up with Hollis down in the Carolinas but we are also advocating for him to engage someone else on a stable living system. I think he might make a good hermit to live undiscovered and undisturbed in the wilds of nature.

Mat please watch your back

We love you both equal Matt! Your a whole vibe

Found your channel 2 months ago. I’m really enjoying watching your new adventures each week.

Heeeyyy..I just subscribed because I bought land last month and I'm thinking about getting a camper to get on the land. Its raw so lots of work. ❤

I love the paint color! Thanks for all the painting advice.

Hey man, just go ahead and get used to the lady bugs...it's a yearly occurance all over the southeast. We've been in middle georgia for over a year and they have come every fall so far.

Omg that color is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what’s next

Keep up the great work guys , looks nice

❤ Feel better soon Cass. The paint looks awesome and looks nicely applied. Very cozy color indeed. You both work so hard. Your beagle is adorable. He has a pretty face. Have a good get together. Sue from Jamestown, TN.

its going to get cold to night🥶🥶

Love that paint color! The southwestern decor is one of my favorites!

HELLA awesome job my friend's lookn great. Until then next one stay safe my friend's

Japanese beetles are a pain. They were really bad at my place in Michigan haven't any in Arizona.

Put that solar array on bicycle wheels. easy to roll on that grass and probably find for free :) Glad I found the channel, excited to see the progress. All the best.

❤

I live in southeast ky. Ur area favors the looks on our area. Corbin ky

You could have already lifted, jscked up and poured a concrete foundation under that cabin for the price of that rv.

👌😊

I would suggest covering the hole in the wood behind the couch....just to be safe... it would be another avenue for mice to possibly get in...better safe than sorry 😊

Save the creepy babies for New Orleans style New Years or Fat Tuesday cake

Great video, my Wife and I are looking forward to retiring in the next 2 years and have been looking at eastern Tennessee which I have read has fewer Tornado's than the western side of the state. We definitely want to move into the mountains, we live in Tampa, Florida and the taxes and insurance is skyrocketing higher every year because of the threat and damages of Hurricanes. We have vacationed over the years in several rural places and like the areas of northern Georgia, western Carolina's and eastern Tennessee. Do you have any advise on what to look for or what to look out for and avoid in eastern Tennessee? Which counties might be homestead friendly and which ones to avoid? Do you have any favorite areas we should look at to consider retiring to? We are looking to get property away from the concrete jungle and just enjoy the peace and solitude of nature. Thank you Lana and Michael.

Hey Cass I really love that paint color that you're doing in the bedroom what color is that I like to get me some of that thank you girly

Love the color! which paint and brand is that?

Love the bedroom color but what about the cabinetry…it needs a coat of something don’t you think? Maybe it’s just me but I’m not a fan of that veneer. Black would possibly be better? Or cream color?

Those fake lady bugs from the orient can give you a pretty good bite. Yes they do bite...

looked like leaky windows up in the living room
