I'm so sorry for intruding on your comment like this I'm just fascinated with the fact that you can buy a house and it's delivered to you is really amazing I live in West Africa a country in the West Coast called the Gambia and have been planning to build a house for the past who knows when it is getting more expensive by the day I just wish they I have similar opportunities to just buying a ready-made carben house for the meantime at least at a very minimal cost it is really exciting to see people own homes at least it's a sign of liberation. Is it possible for me to know the cost of such a?

I wanna cry when i see your orange tabby just lost both of my cats my orange Tabby was very recent i have no cats right now 1st time in my life

This is my favorite ..im so close days away from finding out if i get a piece of land wish me luck !!! Im so close

I am in Canada and I wish our winters weren't QUITE so cold so that I could have a bathroom like yours! My dream bathroom! That said, I also have no running water, so I don't even have a bathroom, really! I love seeing other folks living simply. So many people have no idea how rewarding it is, even though, as you say, it requires more work. It also requires a lot less money and income, is better for the planet, and keeps us fit! I've subscribed, and look forward to watching more of your videos. Happy Homesteading!

Thank you 👍🏽👍 We’re above the Georgia Gnat Line so swirling and swarming bugs typically aren’t an issue. For mosquitoes and other flying bugs we have bat houses, certain plants (citronella, lemon grass, basil, mint, thyme & others), larvae eating fish in our ponds, constantly moving water in our ponds, making sure we don’t have any still/stagnant water in containers anywhere outside, our chicken free-range during the day, and some other techniques for keeping the bug population at bay and reducing the opportunity for them coming into our cabin such as a circulating fans (we prefer our Vornado fans) & ThermaCells for keeping the bug population at bay and reducing the opportunity for them coming into our cabin, and John makes his amazing citronella oil lamps out of old fancy bottles he finds at the dump… but of course our biggest pest control technique are our CATS! 😸🐈🐈‍⬛😸👍🏽👍 During the 12 years we’ve been living in our cabin we have not had anything near like the pests we had in and around our houses in Miami and London. 🙏🏽🙏

But am living in the country in my parents house (i do have a house in london i rent out) but everyone on the street at my parents house are doing it up make it fancy. i don't care for fancy, i just want something cosy, sustainable...handmade and even rough at the seams. i guess when my parents pass i would love to move away to more land and have a cabin like yours

I love that you have so many critters around. I currently only have twelve cats, two dogs, and two cows. I miss having goats, chickens, and pigs. I think off-grid would be a bit too much work for my health and energy levels though. The FB Marketplace in my area doesn't have nearly as many offerings as you seem to have found. When good stuff comes up there's a high chance its stolen (at least in my area). It's still very cool to see what is possible.

Looked up your solar system and was really impressed. Saw there's a possibility of financing the purchase not sure i could qualify, but the price a month would be about as much as my utility bill on a mobile home. I think the ability to be off grid and have it paid off in 5 years would be a better investment. Do you have any suggestions when it comes to the solar system if new to it? I'm going to be binging your channel in the upcoming months so I'm hoping for some content just about solar tbh.

Great video, I live in Jax Florida and know how hot it gets in the area. How do you deal with the hot weather on the homestead?

Thank you 😊 Great question 👍👍🏽 One of the reasons we chose to leave Florida and live in AG Zone 8a here in Middle-Georgia 🇺🇸 is due to this area typically/usually having mild summers… During the summer, we have the air circulation vents open on both ends, as well as the air vents running full length under soffit. We also have great shade from the tree canopy & live on a 19K surface-acre lake with 347 miles of shoreline that constantly produces cool breezes. Inside our cabin, we have also have 9KBtu AC unit🥶, but we rarely use it. (In fact, we haven’t used it for all the of 2023.) We installed R-13 insulation in the walls & covered with drywall; we used foam insulation on the ceiling & covered with painted .25” plywood. (We insulated the ceiling between the rafters because we want to see the rafters as part of our design and to add a little more head clearance up in the lofts between the rafters.) 👍 After 12 years, we really enjoy the temps, lack of humidity/moisture inside, and the environment we have been able to create both in our home and around our homestead throughout the year.🥰 - Fin & John - 🙏🏽+🙏=❤️

Thank you so much ☺️ One of the reasons we intentionally chose to live in AG Zone 8a here in Middle-Georgia 🇺🇸 is due to this area typically having mild winters… and we love the year around growing seasons… in fact we haven’t seen snow here in years and the last time it did snow it melted within hours. (Fun Fact: The average annual snow fall in our area is less than 1” a year.) We also have inside our 304sqft Beloved Cabin a full-house solar thermal heater and a Dutch West high-efficiency catalytic converter wood burning stove that is rated for an 800sqft house… plus our greenhouse-kitchen & greenhouse-bathroom warms themselves during the day during winter when all the leaves drop and the sun naturally warms the inside and we close all the vents (this is why we built our greenhouse-kitchen and greenhouse-bathroom on the south side of our cabin). Also, on extremely cold nights (1 or 2 night a year) we have indoor propane heaters for the greenhouse additions to keep plants healthy. We also replaced the cheap single pane shed windows that came with the original shed shell with double-pane/high-efficiency Anderson & Pella windows we found used/secondhand for either free or super cheap☺️👍👍🏽… and all the additional windows we’ve added are also double-pane/high-efficiency Anderson & Pella windows we found used/secondhand for either free or super cheap☺️👍👍🏽 Inside our cabin, we installed R-13 insulation in the walls & covered with drywall; and we used foam insulation on the ceiling & covered with painted .25” plywood.

My husband and I are doing something very similar for our retirement. Could you go more in depth on how your greenhouse kitchen and bath are in winter. We live in the deep south to, but we do get cold in winter sometimes down to 0 degrees. Thanks so much!!!
