Our entire solar power system is completely FINISHED! We have built a 13,000 watt solar power plant! Today we are firing the system up and turning everything on in our modern home to see how it handles the load on a completely cloudy day. We are also flashing back to a quick timelapse of how we got here. From moving to raw land with no running water or electric to now, having a solar system capable of running our entire home!

To see our entire home build in 20 minutes watch this video here: • TIMELAPSE- Couple Buil...
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"

I just got back from a visit with my son and they had 4 kids, 2 lambs, while I was there, but they lost a calf because of the crappy weather Oregon has been getting for the last few weeks. First, they had a hellacious ice storm without power for 6 days, with trees coming down all over the place, then it started raining for days and days, making their ground slimy so bad, they found the poor calf stuck in the mud under a downed tree. One good thing that has come from all this suffering is my son is getting all sorts of lumber for his small mill.
