ABANDONED HOME Complete Renovation START to FINISH + Full Tour

Last year we purchased an abandoned home tucked away in the mountains of Lost City, WV. Built in 1986 and left abandoned for 20 some years this house was crumbling on itself and in dire need of full renovation. Ask no more.... we were happy to take on that daunting challenge! In this video you will see the complete renovation from start to finish of this amazing mountain home. Watch as we tackle challenge after challenge and go from disaster to stunning!

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt free, off-grid house and learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and the buiness/work related side of our life can be found on our secondary channel "Josh and Erin- The After Show". Here you will see us renovating our Cafe, opening/operating the Cafe with goods from our farm, building/furnishing/running our short term rentals, finding/operating our other real estate investments and more.

Just came upon this video. What stands out is the genuine affection between Josh and Erin, and the Kids as well. The craftsmanship and skills are also standouts. Praying that your marriage and family are an inspiration to others.

This seems more like a romantic comedy about renovating a house, the love they have is soo real, it's inspiring!

I love to see a home brought back! The house I grew up in my father and my great grandfather built it was sold in 1969, it was my prayers that one day I could get it back, 9 years ago I did and completely renovated it back to its former glory Noel. .

You can tell that this family is a team and that’s a insanely beautiful thing. Great work

[barrylewis]

Met you both at Lowe's today. Just wanted to say you are the epitome of the American spirit. Your hard work, entrepreneurship and social media efforts have made it possible to build a family dynamic that most only dream about.
Your children will experience a childhood filled with wonderment, responsibility and achievement.
You're such an amazing example of family unity and true self reliance.
May God continue to bless you.
We truly love you all..❤

You've worked so hard for this and made a beautiful home. Congratulations.

[tumbleweed]

I love how your whole family is involved in the renovation and how ya'll laugh all the time and make things fun

[LineUpTheStars]

The renovation process was truly extraordinary, especially with all the other projects you guys are working on simultaneously. But the bookshelves full of books from all over the world is one of the most charming touches I've ever seen on a rental renovation!

[GirdHerd]

Glad you showed Trent helping Josh hang the canoe. Obviously you two are very business savvy. Wishing you much success with your short term rental property and your restaurant.

[garysanford]

You guys have restored not just a house, but the concepts of hard work, dedication, love, and Family. Thank you for all you do. WWOG!

[AdamCoulombe-dqvj]

This is an absolute must-watch for anyone interested in home renovation projects. The dedication and skill displayed by the renovators throughout the process were truly impressive. The full tour at the end beautifully showcases the stunning transformation, making it both informative and visually captivating. 👍👍👍

Now, this is what you call a quality renovation. Amazing job.

[alonzobean]

Things would go so much faster if only you got along with each other. From the start, it's been a wild, wonderful ride watching the progress in building and family growth. I am looking forward to the future with my morning coffee and my favorite off grid family. WWOG. Thank you, Josh and Erin, for demonstrating how a strong relationship and hard work benefit all of us.

[michaelwilliams]

A good reminder seeing how much you did restoring the old building. A complete rebuild, and the end result is nothing like it was before. It is luxury place, anybody would love to stay there.
Love to you all from Mike. ❤

[caylahcoffeen]

I love how much you lingered on the “after” pictures! So many videos show the final result too briefly to really appreciate. Such an adorable family!

[brookshewstan]

WWOG, I have been following your journey for over 2 years. As a father of 3 children myself, I am so impressed by the daily examples you provide us all of Morales, Kindness, optimism and Love♥️ Thank you!

[curtisbaker]

WWOG by far one of my favorite channels to watch. Y'all are an amazing family and really know how to take something dead and bring it back to life.

[ToniTurner-qqfp]

I can't believe the amazing transformation in this video. The dedication and skill in renovating an abandoned home from start to finish are truly impressive. The full tour showcases the stunning results – it's like watching a home come back to life!

[KikiEllis]

What a makeover masterpiece! You two takes us through the entire process from the initial state of decay to the final reveal, and it's like a real-life home improvement show. The attention to detail and the before-and-after shots make it a must-watch for anyone into home transformations.

It is not about DYI, you both have the talent to make incredible changes. Since I've started following the channel few years ago, I got inspired to make changes in my house by myself. This is what you can do. Thanks Josh and Erin for so many lessons you taught for me. Cheers from Brazil.
