Sir, have you built a walipini at your new place? If so, I’d love to see a video of it. Thank you.

Looks lovely. Feeling encouraged 🙏

Me and my wife are planning an ICF build. This series has been super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to show.

good video on tents. My wife spent an Ohio winter in a '4 wall tent' while they were building her parents house. She moved into the unheated house as soon as possible. Nothing to do with tents but lots to do with a cold Ohio winter.

I understand that the shared seam (not staggered) is important to be able to adjust the walls prior to the pour.

I love tents too. My only worry would be safety from wildlife because I have coyotes. -KJ

😊

I have a 5-meter canvas Bell that I love and more so since I modified it to be better. But I must, sadly, sell the tent.

A bigger hammer would probably make the job even easier.

I have a Sun-Mar 3000 and your video has helped/educated me so much. Thank you. One thing, is it Tyrethon?? where do I purchase? I can't wait to eliminate the flies. I live in Canada.

I think this is some of the most beautiful, most intelligent life style living arrangements a person could ask for. The Freedom! (Cost effectiveness...) A Tiny House? Thank you.

Do you by chance know how to program a new code to this? I bought a rv with this lock and it just opens with the default 123456 code but want to switch it. I have sent a email to them and haven’t heard back yet unfortunately. Thanks !

I hope you address the unlevel/foundation issues in a video so we know exactly what you did to remedy it

😊

Tough lessons. We bought property that had an old house on it. We found the old paneling to be hiding a major termite problem. We had to rebuild multiple top plates, tear out two walls to get to eaten out studs, etc. No inspection though as the the 130 year old house was not worth much. But we live in it now.

nice project and quite an improvement

Been following you since the aircrete testing days. Love your projects and appreciate your videography skills. Thanks for bringing me along. Best wishes.

💪🙏❤️🇸🇪

Looks great!

First, Congratulations on your new teaching position. It will be so good to be all back together again. I have been homesteading vicariously by watching folks like you. But now we have our own place... So seeing how you improve self-reliance on smaller city properties is actually going to be very helpful for me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Looking forward to how you work out this transition unique to your own family, and also gleaning some ideas for mine.

love your videos. Tghey stopped showing up in my feed to binging on them now. Hope you are all healed up and healthy again.

Love your channel. Does your system include a "first flush" system to divert enough initial rain water to clean the roof of not only dirt but also samonella from bird poop? Homesteadanomics YT channel here in AZ has quite a playlist on DIY water collection ideas. The newest ones include first flush systems.

I screwed a 1"x 2" to the end of the fabric to keep it from fraying over time and so I can pull it out and set between the box and cab of the truck. That way it will stay there and not fall back while loading material.

I am sorry if you said, but what is the cubic foot capacity of this fridge?

great to see such and extreme case healed!!

Oh dear. What a mess. I’m sorry for you guys.

You're moving again?! Did you explain this in another video? Hope all is well!

Sorry to hear that happened to you and glad to hear at the end you didn't get totally taken. Do you have any legal recourse in Florida since the inspector didn't find some major flaws? Also, did you keep your farm?

So, I have a question. If you purchased 2Xs from the mill for your vertical planks, why did you not just send them through a band saw or table saw to split them into two 3/4" (minus your loss from the blade) boards, doubling your output instead of planing the boards down and only getting 1 board? That pile of saw dust seems quite wasteful to me?!?!?!

Your proof of concept Walipini has been very informative. I have been working on a design for our Passive Solar & 6th Grade Science Concepts home & attached Greenhouse. Our ideas are a combination of houses past & present plus Walipini, Chinese Greenhouses, underground Thermo Tubes and a Passive Solar/Solar Trombe Wall. Even with a computer design program and a big tote fully of Legos, the design has been reconfigured many times over. We have finally reach the stage where the Draftsman will fine tune the design and combine it with the environment. Thanks for doing the honest videos and adding the "Could have, Would have, Should have" items and information. Good Lucky & Planning with your Walipini 2.0

Good video, I have been wanting to do this for some time now. You explained everything very well.... you don't happen to have a diagram?

Excel NE: I don't understand why the tray is so small. Like you said, if the drum is half full, you'll have to do 5 or 6 tray loads out. That doesn't allow the drying process to occur and you are unloading wet poop. They should have made the tray larger. Defeats the purpose of composting. Also, the tray loads too high on the left side and when you remove it, the poop rolls out on the floor. Finally, the poop smears all over the outside of the drum. There are so many design problems that would be an easy fix. $2 Grand for this product! I wish I would have stayed with the bucket method. Typical engineering. Those engineers only look at the blueprints and specs, but never get into the practicality of actually using the product. I totally regret the purchase. Now what do I do with this monstrosity?

I don't know why your videos don't have tens of thousands of views! I've watched a bunch of series on ICF builds and I find yours to be the most informative and entertaining. Thank you for putting them up. I hope to come across some budget video later. Have you ever considered putting your house plans up for sale? I like the layout of your home and may want to do something similar where I am in south of you.

Why does my separator leak from a hole in the side?

What brand do u think is the best electric fence?

Good video. You could have included price for each splitter. I thought each one had a couple pros and cons. I like the first one for the kids to use. Please wear gloves and safety glasses just in case. Thanks

Arnt you just so woke

What a inspiring project. It's amazing to see what's possible even in cold areas. Good luck with further developments, Cheers from Norway :)

thank you for this amazing and detailed review!

Finally a video of someone installing a real barn door and not silly interior "barn doors".

I might be too late for the show and people might not respond but I have been thinking about replacing the northern wall in this design with a two foot brick wall. Is this a good idea? Maybe even some XPS on the outside of it and heck even drainage to keep the water out and prevent any leakage!

God bless you for saving her. ❤❤❤

Totally loved your setup there , the horses are happy doing what they are supposed to do being horses. Stimulating and keeping them healthy , I love how you thought about the design and how it was going to work for your lovely equine heard , only issue I see here is the trees taking down the electric fence at times , the trees In The middle could have tree protection like wire mesh wrapped around them so the horses don’t kill them but if your not concern it doesn’t matter . Great video and great content ,thanks.👍

This toilet is absolutely terrible and the fact it was designed in 1981 really shows. It is mind blowing that this product is still sold as is when there are multiple obvious design flaws. The barrel is too close to the collection tray, meaning that the entire barrel gets smeared with feces when rotated while emptying. This is made worse by the fact the bar used to rotate it has plastic cogs instead of metal, which jump out of place causing the rotation wheel to spin dangerously while emptying when full, meaning you have to physically reach inside and move the barrel by hand to empty it safely, touching smeared fecal matter. This problem also causes the barrel to overflow into the interior base of the toilet resulting in a permanent damp moldy carpet of feces forming underneath it which is almost impossible to access and clean. The collection tray is cheap plastic and cracked/breaks when lifted from the front due to the weight of the collected compost. It has to be reinforced with epoxy to be usable. The toilet has a gap under the seat giving insects easy access. The plastic quality is very poor and after a few years it became very brittle and started cracking, requiring reinforcement with epoxy resin. The bar used to rotate the barrel is cheap plastic and snapped off completely within the first year of normal use. It doesn't compost at for the colder half of the year as it lacks internal heating. basically, it is a glorified bucket made of cheap plastic that will give you endless torture. Buy something higher quality and save yourself the headache.

Looks nice cooker and boiler. Would like to neaten up the pipework above tank and at least clip it to the wall neatly. Would of looked better in copper pipe.

Looking for barn door hardware please open it.

Too much work for a toilet. But if it saved you money good job.

Eliminate pipe on the bottom altogether, just use over flow tube's from barrel to barrel, if using for watering, just put a hose spicket on every 3rd or 4th barrel

Great video! Very informative. It was cool to see that you got the whole family involved.

I have a 4way like your middle one and green oak wood is a bear to get thru annd my logs arent big enough
