@@rickymcu grew up in Laguna niguel and Dana point what about you?

@@TehDubster seriously. How does it make any sense you cannot live in a RV on your own land. Same thing goes for tiny homes or shed homes. I agree

@@homesteadingbarndo Because their reasoning is that theyre afraid youre gonna dump the sewage on the ground. That fear alone shouldnt be the basis of keeping it illegal, just make it plainly illegal to dump on the ground. Im practically homeless right now. Im riddled with debt and was evicted from my apartment because I couldnt pay the rent anymore because they raised it from $1050 to $1450 per month. I needed to leave, so instead of being homeless, I picked up a cheap, $5000 camper to live in. Parked it on my parents property. Zoning laws in my town do not allow RVs to be used for "human habitation" So the way I see it, they would rather me be homeless on the street (Which is also illegal to live on the street where I live) than have a home on someone elses land that I have full permission to be on. Fuck the zoning laws, I live in it anyway. So where am I supposed to go if I follow the laws? I cant be on the street because thats illegal, I cant live in a camper because thats illegal, and I cant stay in my relatives house because they dont have the space to accomodate me. Its beyond disgusting that towns do not allow you to purchase an RV to live in, because they dont consider them homesteads. The law does not grant me any options. I'm damned if I do, damned if I dont. So I have no choice but to break the zoning laws. The ONLY way in my town that they will allow you to live in an RV on your property is if you remove the wheels from it, and pay upwards of $20,000 to the town to have them come and set up a way for your sewage to dump to the septic tank. ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY TO THEM. Luckily, its pretty easy to get away with doing it. I've been living in it for 7 months now and have yet to have any problems. Luckily my house is not viewable from the street, so unless zoning regulation officers have a reason to come here, they wont.

@@homesteadingbarndo I posted a longer reply, but youtube is censorship heaven that somehow me saying that I live illegally anyway was too controversial to them and broke their comment policy. I absolutely hate youtube

@@homesteadingbarndo I had to leave my apartment because rent increased from $1050 per month to $1450 per month. I have so much debt that Im practically homeless. Its illegal for me to live on the street where I live, you cant set up encampments on the streets. Cant live in a camp in the woods because its town owned land, so I purchased a $5000 RV to live in. Parked it on my parents property. Only to find out later that zoning laws also do not allow me to live in an RV on family owned property. RV/Mobile Homes cannot be used for human habitation. RVs can only be parked or stored on your property. The only way zoning laws would allow me to live in the RV on my parents property is if I pay them $21,500 to modify our septic system to hook up to the RV as well, and they want me to remove all wheels from the vehicle. Just make it illegal to dump on the ground, dont make it illegal to live in an RV because you think someones gonna dump sewage on the ground. (Which whos gonna do that anyway? That would absolutely reek outside of your camper) I cant live in my parents house because they dont have the room to accomodate my wife and I. So to cap, its illegal to live on the street, its illegal to set up an encampment in the woods, only option was to buy a camper to live in, which is also illegal apparently too. So I literally cant live anywhere legally without breaking some sort of law, so as I said, live in it anyway. Its beyond disgusting that its literally illegal to be poor. You're not allowed to fix your life up unless you own a home or apartment.

@@TehDubster I feel you I had to live illegally in a tiny sailboat I bought for 300 bucks last recession in 09. The way to make housing more affordable is to allow for legit ways to do tiny housing/RV living. They don't seem to want to give you any way to save money or get up in life. If it helps there are often times rv parks that do monthly rentals and it is 300-400 a month with full hookups. When I was stationary living in a park it was 320 a month and they had wifi/electric and water included

@@alltruckeredout yep that was definitely the case. I think it is wise to live in an area and get to know people. In the past couple of years I've met some really great people who would have done much more honest work

@@homesteadingbarndo it's like the old saying goes... How do we learn to make good decisions? We make lots of bad decisions! But now you get to share your experiences with others to help them make good decisions. Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@@alltruckeredout thanks for the reminder one of these days I'll be full of expensive wisdom 😄

@@homesteadingbarndo 😂😂🤘

@@devonceleon hey that's exciting!! Congrats! I'll be honest I miss living in the RV I really want to go on some trips with the family. Thanks for watching

Hey there! 👋

I have my design files you can email me and I can find them. They aren't approved or engineered though so use them at your own risk, my house hasn't fallen down yet though 😆

@@homesteadingbarndo how can I get in touch with you?

@@tehxii7706 email me at [email protected]

That's good choice, what state are y ou buildingi in again?

@@homesteadingbarndo Colorado, 7,100 ft

@@azTonyH Nice! That'll be really helpful!

No the neutral is hooked to the neutrals

Seems like it. The mini split has been spectacular, love it so much and it is super efficient

Prices for wood isn't bad at all right now a 2x4 that is 10 feet long is about 3.85 so that's awesome

Yes definitely I have so much video content recorded I've just been so busy with my business but definitely plan to get posting more. I'm still putting on finishing touches to my house

That's a great idea!

Just to remind you, I had no experience and also I still don't 🤣 if you'd like I can email you my resume but it will be blank

Thanks for the info though helps a lot

@@kalanimendoza1448 yes I did on everything but good news is you can get everything cheaper nowadays and you don't have to get screwed too

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Yep! I didn't know I was supposed to put that on as I was sheeting the house! Shows how much I didn't know when I started. Got everything trimmed out now though

Yea there are definitely worse jobs out there but drywall is pretty bad

Yea man KZfaqd everything. First I learned how systems functioned so I'd know why they worked and then I'd watch how to make the system. For example - how does plumbing vents work - how to design a vent system - how to install plumbing drain pipe and I'd watch like 20 videos on each so I could understand major pitfalls along with how things worked in general. Not going to lie though once I had my drain pipe installed I just hoped it would work like I had designed because if it didn't I was going to have to rip open drywall and re-do it. The first time my toilet flushed without issue I breathed a sigh of relief 😂

Lol sorry helicopters offend you

You don't fly it in. That help you?

Thanks brother it was tough but I got it done! At least I can say I did it but I'd definitely never do it again unless I had no other choice!

I think it'd give you better light and also if you have large fork lifts driving in it would be helpful too.

I paid monthly for it. I started with the trial version to get used to it but after seeing it did what I wanted I decided to get it

That's riggins Idaho!

Thought it was montani but close nuff.. beautiful

@@suzieparis6821 I'd go for a place in Montana for sure 😃

Just a dog collar

Agree with you, especially in this market with the price of lumber coming way down from when I built in 2020

Awesome! It definitely worked out good for us

@@homesteadingbarndo is there a way to have your property labeled as Agricultural by having a barn/shed on it which just stores your RV

@@ChronicAndIronic I think it has more to do with the level of production on the land. In my area if you have a certain number of grazing animals per acre you can have it classified as ag land

I put a large dog collar on the goats and it has a springed hook to attach to them

This is really helpful thank you!

Our cats are super loved! We put them in the crate only temporarily while we are opening doors so they don't run out.

I got a buddy who says USDA financing is a great option for this, they have construction loans and things which is epic. If you want his contact he is the best! Just let me know

That's a really solid plan, it saves so much to go this route. It is confusing but I found calling the county and asking people there has been really helpful in getting specifics for your specific case.

That's a fair question! I won the lottery...Just kidding. I have a digital marketing agency that I run and it allows for location freedom and time freedom. I'm going to be creating videos about how to fund builds and projects but we borrowed to live this lifestyle. The one thing I did have going for me was that when we lived in Socal it was INSANELY expensive. Our rent was over 3500 a month! Moving into the RV was a massive savings and allowed us to save money. I don't have a helicopter yet and it has been really difficult. It seems like we're scraping by still but there's light at the end of the tunnel. We only have a couple more major items to buy like a hand railing that is not 2x4s for our upstairs and glass for our shower. We've been paying as we go along with living on the cheap. We didn't have dressers or closets and didn't even buy a couch til about a year ago (those things are insanely expensive!) I think it'd be helpful for me to show the not so glamourous side of things because we've really been living on the cheap and sacrificing throughout the whole process. I did a video about my business here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKtxqthnxsuvoqs.html Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching! Let me now if you have any more questions or know where I can get a chopper on the cheap.

Sure!

@@homesteadingbarndo I watched a few of these videos of yours but I can’t seem to actually figure it out. Thanks in advance

This video was more of a documenting the process vlog video. I am still figuring out the content on the channel so I figured I would try both kinds of videos - informatative talking to the camera and documentative videos that just is watching. That's why I titled this Installing Windows not How To Install. I definitely didn't sequence my build the way steel builders do so it probably isn't applicable to a lot of people, but I didnt see anyone who added windows after erecting their steel building. Hope this helps and thanks for the feedback

No worries at all, and thanks for watching. You'll likely get a better ffinished product since you'll have someone who knows what they're doing! What state are you building in?
