I just have a crazy neighbor, period.

I’m concerned you’ll spend the next 5 years picking away at this thing or that. If you can afford it, do the following right away: - open up all the walls so you can see the framing. - get rid of the hay - tear out all wiring and redo. This may seem wasteful but it will save time and headaches in the long run. - re insulate the exterior walls - finish siding - drywall the exterior walls, inside of course And from there tackle one room at a time. The most important thing now is to to tighten up the “building envelope”

@Flintknappingtips

Kevr good advise. I’d guess they pulled siding and applied tyvec after they already had problems. Could be the slab doesn’t have membrane and there’s broken leaking plumbing under the slab which is why the water line was put above ground after. The design of the straw bale earth contact and water issues on the uphill side are a problem. Might be he’s better off scavenging materials and building a small home nearby. The easement is the first priority, and keeping the neighbors on good terms.

Hey Steve, you might want to research about cleaning up mold. No expert here, but i have watched a lot of renovation channels, and in all of them, it was made clear, to not use any cleaner in cleaning up mold. They always stated to use soap (detergent) and water only. Ammonia does not completely work in getting rid of mold, while plain soap and water will.

Dude, this house looks so friggin cool. It's gonna be a hell of a lot of work, but it's gonna be so worth it. I hope you keep the aesthetic that's goin on here. I'm only a little jealous.

Straw bail homes work great in the south where it's dry and arid. You will always have mold and moisture issues in your neck of the woods. And spontaneous internal combustion in a straw house is a thing. I'd clean that up enough to live in it short term while building a nice A-frame or cabin.

I would turn that into a cool work space, almost like a huge garage work space, fun space like for storage and do projects. . And Start fresh on a new cabin near it.

I like what the previous owner was going for. This could be a wonderful place. Congrats! 👍🏼

All you hear about on the news is that Beastie Boys documentary. I hope everyone is prepared for when it comes out, seems like we might have to hunker down for a couple weeks. Make sure you're stocked up on toilet paper and canned goods for when that Beastie Boys doc comes out.

Very happy for you on a personal level so please don’t take my comment as a negative: I bought a ‘fixer-upper’ acreage in ‘04. Wife and I loved the ‘bones’ of the house and have been renovating ever since and still are not done. The time I have spent fixing and replacing things is time I will never get back when I could have been floating down the north sask River (I loved that vid). I agree with a number of posters that maybe take the character pieces out that you like but you should seriously consider building your own home with the parts you like from the old home. You’ll chase bad original construction (like I have) in that house forever. I should have listened to others who told me to build instead of fix.

That was my thought. There are some features like the wood beams and the fireplace/pizza oven that can be saved. Just take that stuff out and bulldoze the rest.

Exactly what I was thinking. I've been in the construction biz most of my adult life. Remodeled every kind of building you can think of and some you never would have thought of. This rustic old place is just one big hazard. Carefully remove what you want to keep and start over with a properly constructed home. Build a good foundation a few feet up off the ground. Perhaps a log cabin style home would be good out there. You can re-use most of the fixtures and a lot of the plumbing and wiring in the old house. You can also repurpose much of the rustic looking wood.

This looks like a lot of work for you but a fun adventure and a gorgeous house in the end. I hope you will keep the nice woodwork and tiles and fireplace they put in. I love the curtains too.

Steve your beautiful wife and your home is a gem. I’m obsessed with old homes or even abandoned homes because they were built to survive. Thank you so much for the tour of your home this has been one of my favorite episodes so far.

That’s a lot of work, but realizing your dreams often takes effort. You can do it. Good luck to you.

Steve, I think this is awesome. What a capacity. Even if the house is in dispair, it has potential. Has a nice rustic flavour. Can't advise on the straw and not even on farming in such cold climate. But it could imagine some trout raising and chars, and ducks and sheep? There's a guy who lived in Canada I assume, hew runs a YT channel called 50 Ducks In A Hot Tub, and he was growing a great veggie garden in the north. But now he escaped to Venezuela, apparently. But in his early vids, there is some inspiration for you for sure…..

Your house has an amazing amount of potential. Those doors and windows! It will take a lot of hard work however so worth it. Plus all that land. Win win situation!

Saw this place for sale when I was shopping for a house, looks like I dodged a bullet. Straw bale construction, done right, is very cool though! Good luck!

Beautiful place! I hope Steve and Beautiful Wife are able to salvage the beautiful parts of it, make it safe, and not lose their shirts or their sanity in the process. I also hope that being “settled down” gives Steve as much happiness as boondocking did, and that the stability will lead to new adventures and growth. Truly best wishes. Would love an update!!

As a licensed electrician i know it looks bad but i have wired several straw bale houses and the wiring usually runs on the wood structure surrounded by straw. The straw is an awesome insulation as long as it can be kept dry. The mice and squirrel are the biggest issue with electrical wiring as they tend to eat the insulation off the wires. Awesome house!!

Amidst this virus I’m glad to know that Steve is definitely safe! He’s hunkered down in a remote area!

The huge south facing window is great. I love this house, it reminds me a lot of an earthship.

Nice place with a lot of potential! I wish I lived close by as I would gladly help you with carpentry, electrical, and plumbing, but I'm sure you and crazy neighbor can pull it off. You can do it brothers!

You should either make a new channel or create a "series" and call it house renovation. You would be to do more videos per week as well as bring in more viewers.

Hey Steve - congratulations on your wonderful acquisition. The windows, fire place, pizza oven, ceiling beams, wooden supports, and doors are lovely character pieces that can be saved. But you’re going to spend so much money just bringing that place up to code - and that’s before you even start doing the place up to make it a nice place to live! But that place is so very dangerous. Loose live wires and dry straw isn’t the best mix! You’ll have built a new house cheaper and quicker. And it will 100% save you time and money in the long term. 100%.

In my mind, I'm picturing Steve's "acreage" with many camp sites, made by him and customized to meet his needs and filled with cool, neat adornment and design; also with special names for each site to make "Hunker Town" even more special. When our Southern weather goes from unbearable heat to tolerable pre fall conditions, all my camping gear gets a personalized inventory for much awaited camping. I am the happiest when on a cool rainy day, a fire is fed by fallen trees which in turn, feeds me with warmth and fire for cooking.This is all made possible because we have acreage as well. And on those wonderful nights, the stars give me a huge canvas to find constellations as I check them off during sleepless nights of finding "just one more". And So, as the weekend comes to a close and reality toggles in, my mind drifts away again to the next camp site ahead with weather forecasts and a camp table made just for me. Always Be Camping. Cheers!

That house is incredible! I'll be honest, I'm glad it's something a bit different and not a cookie cutter box. Looks like a lot of work, but the upside is that means more content for the channel!

Lots of great potential-I really like the open layout. -And if ever there was a house you could add a secret passageway/room, this is it!

Honest to god this was my ex father in laws place and I helped build the house. It was an interesting process and project for sure ! wow I’ve been watching camping with Steve for about a month now and stumbled upon this! Wow what are the odds!

From the days of the Boondocking documentary to your own 20+ acres of land and house!! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Enjoy, and keep on keeping us entertained. [from a houseboat dweller in the UK]

Love that front door, very nice! 👍😎 The tin ceiling is very nice, too! The place definitely has huge potential! I know nothing about straw bale construction. But just a real rough, brainstorming idea: what if you could maybe replace the straw walls, one section at a time, with concrete or stone? That would seem more durable and strong! Maybe even build heating into the walls as you go, if you really wanted to get fancy? ☺ Beautiful big piece of land though! With plenty of room to just start fresh and build a brand new, much bigger home, too? 😀 In the long run, that might be another option, and perhaps with less maintenance costs/repairs? Congrats on the new property, and hope you have great success and happiness in all your future endeavors and projects! ☺

Steve the house look like a ton of work but also tons of potential! It's exciting. I doubt anyone cares too much if you take a break from the camping vids and just keep us posted on what you are up to getting the house in shape and moving in. This update was just as good as anything you have put out! Looking forward to more.

Make sure the roof is solid and stable. Then , insulate and reroof. Make sure you have decent overhangs to protect the walls from more water damage. Then verify the windows are at least double glazed. Seal all exterior walls windows and doors. Good luck Steve and wife!
