It FINALLY happened...

How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward.

This has been such a long time coming but we finally did it, the hideous 3M tape has been officially retired 🤣…I’m sure it came across in the video but we’ve been putting in some long construction days lately, who else is excited for the big reveal?! It’s going to feel unbelievable I can hardly wait!

[sueoreiro]

Grumpy is such a great addition … not only his knowledge but his humor and ability to improvise and adjust to make things work is impressive!

Tyler, You actually did all those corner pieces using honest to god real siding. I know you are afraid of heights but you seemed to have made some progress conquering that fear. I know what it is like . I was a firefighter and I always was uncomfortable working from ladder trucks.
With the completion of the faux stonework, you no longer have container house, you now have a container castle. It is stunning. Well done !

[dorenemadrzykowski]

Oh gosh, I can't wait. The aerial view is awesome. I hope by the time Winter starts, you can start working on some inside stuff. I love the bantering with Dumpy....he's a gem

Clean the outside of the windows while you have the scaffolding in place.

2 years !! 18 months of slow progress, then Dumpy comes on board and now things are flying. 💙💙💙

[Che-e]

You guys have walked through so many walls and knocked over so many boundaries. It's exciting to get to see you build your own!!!

[arianahoule]

Thank goodness for all of Dumpy's hard work. He's amazing. I think he needs to be christened with a better name. Master Craftsman...Wizard...
Sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.

Every video you guys put out makes me so much more amazed at your partnership, your work ethic, & your ability to laugh through mistakes. Dumpy is absolutely adorable and I love that he gives as gives as he gets. Tyler, my vertigo was crying for you while you were on that scaffold and I had to close my eyes when you panned down to the ground. *hurl* I'm proud of all three of you for getting that high up on the scaffold and working in the heat. You each deserve a medal.

The house is looking so good. But I think my favorite part was you two and the dogs eating the fruit and just chilling out. You seemed so at peace and excited for the future. It's fun watching your progress. Another wonderful video!! Happy Sunday!

[vleisge]

You guys crack me up! "Just each other." Also, Tyler's face when he realized he had to get on the roof. I could see the muscles in his jaw tensing. ❤

I love Dumpy’s comment that you’d still be looking for someone to do metal siding on the tower! 🤣🤣🤣

[AMJDG]

The best line of the whole video was Dumpy about the metal siding. "Probably still be looking for somebody to do it." 🤣😂🤣

[ryanambrose]

Omg this is huge. Can’t wait to see this once the scaffolding comes down ✌🏽🩵🏳️‍🌈

[michellejoly]

Love watching your progress. So happy you have people in your lives who care as much about your home as you do. Finally, I smile every time we see Charlie running around with such joy 🥰

[alcloud]

“It finally happened”, I expected to see a water slide coming from the bedroom. Sorry Tyler! 😂😂😂

[horseytoo]

I just love Dumpy!!! What a sweetheart and such a great sense of humor ... not to leave you two out. I feel the same way about both of you!

[clifflocke]

First, that siding on the tower looks so awesome. The wood looking siding, and the black and stone siding all look so good together. I want to say congratulations to this achievement. You have to be so emotional to see your dream finally, after all the set backs, coming together. I'm am so happy for you!!

[katherinekelly]

Very impressed with the scaffolding- yeah, it’s not cheap but that is a big enough job to finishing ‘bricking’ the tower without having to worry about physical safety. Such a smart move on your part

[Annienzangel]

Wow! Tower is super amazing! Your home is just beautiful. Through all the trials and tribulations you have kept going, tackled things head on, stood back when you needed to, and then forged on again! You should be very proud of yourselves. Not to forget Dumpy...what a treasure!❤
