Off Grid -Shed to Cabin with Grumpy Mountain Man

SHED TO HOME Off Grid Cabin Homestead videos. This channel is for someone who likes being outside. This channel shows Shed to Home Projects. We happen to be Off-grid. Most videos are do it yourself homesteading videos, solar power how to videos. KZread helped me get going and learn and this channel is for passing it forward.

    I want to thank you for posting this! First off, I'm a transwoman and I only say that for my safety. My husband and I do not believe in flaunting it or pushing ourselves down other peoples' throats. We're both in our 50's. He's into watching anime, and cooking. I'm into video games and handling the finances. We both work our butts off and are VERY reserved people. What we can't stand are liars, fakes and flakes. Thank you for telling the truth.

    Because of my budget I can't do it all at once. So I think I'll build it backwards. Batteries , inverter first. Charge batts with my gen or car...then when I get my panels there's no way I could run out after then I understand the concept, the components. I'm trying to figure out the sizing part...

    We just bought one of these new, and plan to vent it straight up and out the roof of our cabin bathroom addition I just built. I plan to use just cheap galvanized 4 inch vent pipe, but I'm going to line the inside of the pipe with aluminum tape to slow the corrosion/rust process. We are poor and on disability, so we can't afford that B-pipe which is just aluminum pipe inside with galvanized on the outside, so I figured heck, a layer of that alum tape on the inside should do the same dang thing!. We have the tape on our wood stove chimney joints and it's held up just fine to the heat. I'm just gunna vent ours straight up through the roof and make my own flashing with a roll of aluminum I have that I got for a good deal and will alum tape the seams and then high heat RTV silicone all the joints/seams when done. I think with a CO detector, an 8 foot vent/flu going out, that this thing will be just fine. Heck we have a propane stove and fridge in our cabin and CO hasn't been an issue. I think these companies and government just make excessive overbearing rules to try sell more expensive products. I mean I get that there has to be rules for all the tap water dolts that don't have 2 brain cells to knock together that think things like Trudeau or Biden are great leaders, and thus they need to be spoon fed and protected, but for people with even a sliver of common sense these rules and bylaws are downright idiotic! lol!. We plan to make a video of our install and post it to our channel we are starting if anyone is interested in watching that when we are done just go check out "the modern Viking homestead" channel here on poo-tube. Anyways, thanks for this video, I stole some ideas from it and plan to implement them when I install mine. Keep up the good work Mr. Grumpy!. lol - Adam

    This is the first alert I've received from your channel in months - must be a YT thing cause I'm subsribed with all alerts on! So I just checked your site and there's a bunch of videos I wasn't alerted to, so I've got some catching up to do! Great to see you are indeed alive and well! Guess I can't trust YT to do the right thing and live up to their end of the bargain and alert subscribers!! I'll make a point to check manually on my own from here on out - lesson learned.
