Our New Homestead Building Project. WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUILD Lessons Learned & ?'s Answered
Our New homestead building project is underway once again. In this episode, I cover the basics of venting a roof system to avoid condensation problems that lead to black mold and mildew. Also, answering some the FAQ for building your own cabin or homestead.
Homesteading off the grid and on the mountain certainly has its challenges but there's no place we'd rather live. We restored the old camp and transformed it into a cozy home for ourselves, then we cleared more land, built a workshop and greenhouse and in spite of the challenges of living on ledge -we succeeded in creating an abundant garden. Little by little we're reaching our goals of having a self sufficient homestead.

I will try to keep this as brief as I can because I like talking too much LOL just wanted to say thank you so much for you explaining things the way you do you've taught me a lot I can't read that good and it's hard for me to get information and I thank you so much for what you do and taking the time to explain stuff I never did know why they put that little thin piece of Styrofoam up on the bottom of the roof it never occurred to me why now I know it's very important so as I build my 10x12 room to live in I know that I need it and I appreciate you so much I hope you're still doing good can't wait to see your next video take care
I just had a new metal building built. I wanted a workbench in it, and didn't like having to pay the outrageous price for lumber these days. Had some oak trees in the back yard that were standing dead. I had thought about dropping them & using them for firewood. Then I got the idea to take them to a saw mill. Took 6 logs there, and had them cut to 1x6, 2x4, and 2x6. Also had him cut enough 4x4's so I could use them for the legs. He charged me $225.00 to mill them, figured out an average price for all the lumber & it cost about $2.50 per board, and after I built the workbench, I've still got a lot of left over lumber for future projects! Plus some of the lumber is spalted!
I've been forced to pay these prices for lumber for my current projects I've had going and its hitting me hard I don't believe now that these established prices will ever return to what they were , thanks .

Thanks boss & Lori for your video’s I enjoy all your content, I like it when you talk about life , and when you go in the bush and see images in the trees or rocks i do the same I enjoy nature so much , we have so much in common it scary we think the same thanks again boss .
JC, you and Lori are going to have an incredible place and it'll just get better and better as you build it out. And bringing a lifetime of building experience to the build as you do, I'm sure you could not hire it done and have it turn our nearly as good as you and Lori will do it. I'm enjoying watching you work lol! Love ya my friends!
I am get n excited knowing it won’t b long the way u two work on projects. Can’t wait too see.
Appreciate the tips. We're off grid, slowly clearing land. We are working when we have money to complete jobs or buy things. We're hoping to build a small house. Living in a travel trailer right now on our property & my husband installed bubble foil under the vinyl (he use to be a flooring installer 28 years) -- I talked him into the bubble foil after watching your videos. We have so much to do & it's overwhelming! Hubs still works so we have only so much time around our property, for now. Thanks for your videos. Keep well!
Amazing progress!! Thanks for the video!
Always nice to see that ecitement and smile on your face when talking about the new homestead...You and Lori will win the race. I cannot wait until the finish line. Take care both of you. Take time for a glass of wine infront of the fire. God Bless You!
Boss, you're the Mike Holmes of the backwoods! Keep it going!
