We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and our family life vlogs can be found on our secondary channel "Wild Wonderful After Show"

If you or your Husband smoke Cigarettes you gotta quit ASAP while still young, Your Hub said he's out of breath early in the video, IDK If he smokes, But make him stop if you want to go lifetime homesteading. I'm 56 now, been smoking since 14, My lungs are shot, Just walking up one flight of stairs is like running a 25 mile marothon. Quit ASAP.

PS. Go on walmart and look up inversion table for your back, It's like a Roger Teeter Hang up but much cheaper. It will fix your back, Just make sure your wife is right there with you when you do use if you go to the full 180, Plan to talk every minute, That way if you pass out she can stand you up and hold you till you come to.

Especially having a partner that gets as involved as she does.. Enjoy it , enjoy the kids , because man oh man life goes by Wayyy to quickly. 10 yrs goes by in a blink , the older we get, the faster life seems to pass by.. I get sad thinking about younger yrs, though get excited thinking of all the beautiful memories we've made & I get to watch you both doing what I used to love to do, which definitely gives me happiness..

@Wild Wonderful Off-Grid - Josh and Erin - My wife and I, not too far from you here in WV, have been massively renovating/re-engineering our home for years. Don't worry about the backseat builders opinions. It is clear you guys do your research, planning, and cost analysis. It's hard work, a lot of learning, a lot of sweet equity, and a lot of adaptation! It's funny how much stuff/tools we have in common! Keep up the good - hard - rewarding work!

What I find most rewarding is learning the most basic things you know about farms. It’s answered so many questions that I never would have known growing up in suburbs. My biggest regret is not asking more questions of my Grandmother, who was a lifetime German farm girl. What her daily life was like. She was a wonderful business woman when I came along. She and her Sisters carried our family.

Eaves YES! Was going to suggest that in one of the previous episodes but got distracted. A painter friend of mine told me my eaves were too small (18"). He said he would never build a house without 36" minimum eaves. He painted houses for over 40 years and claimed paint on a house with large eaves lasts way longer and the shade reduces air conditioning in the summer months. Keeping water away from the walls, windows and doors is a major plus. Maybe not an issue in your area but potential ice dams in the winter months is the only drawback I can envision. Great work and those suggesting a full demo haven't priced lumber and other building materials. Not to mention the awesome content for your videos of demo and challenging repairs.

Good call on renovating vs complete knock down. At least in California, if you knock down a house and rebuild you are now taxed on a "new house." If you renovate you are taxed on your improvements or additions. I look forward to every episode. Your family is awesome. Your chemistry and banter, is a joy to watch. Thank you from Los Angeles.
