The idea to build a house out of shipping containers was definitely one of the wildest ones we’ve had and if you’ve been joining our weekly videos for any amount of time you know that’s saying something, we’re confident it will work out in the long run but it’s a big setback.
Join us every Sunday as we continue to create off the grid homestead vlogs, sharing our adventures as we build our own alternative lifestyle, living simply in the wild wonderful off grid forest!

How did we get here?
After a year of full time travel living the van life, we had to adapt when the world changed. To keep busy we’ve converted our tiny house on wheels into a fully functioning off grid home that has everything we need. Realizing that none of us know how long this new normal will stick around, we made the decision that building a home here was the best decision we could make. We’ve spent the last year doing EVERYTHING involved with coordinating and planning the build ourselves as well as setting up this off grid property to be able to provide us with the the food we’ll need in the future. That led us to needing a place to live while we realized our dream of building a shipping container home. After lots of searching we finally discovered Geodesic Dome’s and it was the perfect fit for us while we took our time with the container home.

Having to redo the work we did last week was super annoying😅…timelapses and the magic of YouTube definitely make it look easy, but all that shovelling and raking is a serious workout! In the end, we’re glad things worked out the way they did. It’s a much better set-up and more future proof. We kinda wish we got more done and could give a nice reveal with the heaters and everything up and running but honestly, it’s just not the reality. We talked about it a bit towards the end of the video but it’s a tough time of year where rest and down time is so important. If you're reading this I'm talking to YOU…show yourself some kindness this week and do something just for you that makes you feel special. Sending all our love until next Sunday xo 💛
The propane guy is almost as cute as you two are 😊😉
Usually I hate recaps at the start of videos but yours are really well done!
Amazing progress. Having shoveled a half of a truckload of wood chips before the first snow, I felt your pain!
Make sure to mark the line from tank to house!
The new project looks great. You have so much planning for the future to always think about.
Awesome day,love the video be safe and well..till next Sunday..
Don’t put soul to far up your trees as you will kill then

Omg loves this boys 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐈⬛🎄⛄️🤗❤️ Stunning love you both blessings Merry Christmas.
Another great job and it was really nice to see Sue make an appearance! Tell her I said hi.
Your love ❤️ for each other is awesome, and inspiring for everyone! Happy Holidays Todd and Tyler! Thomas! Nice to meet your Mom!
I guess adding a second container same size or a bit smaller to the master bedroom suite would not be out of the question to make room for a full size set stairs ? good luck .
Did 7:48 get anyone else?😂 At this point, Todd doesn’t even have to say the joke out loud! Love it!!
Wishing you the best ❤
Tyler and Todd,
I think that you guys are doing a good job. But I would think that you would be money ahead if you had hired a project manager. Because from what I see the utility burials are haphazardly installed. My concerns should be your concerns. One of these days when you need to add or repair a utility line you need to know where they are, exactly where they are. Someone should have told you that all of your utilities should have a carrier wire along side each utility so they can be traced. Good luck.😘
Awe so happy to see you both happy and working together. You are such good people and it really comes across here. Thank you for another great video, sending you love and loving energy to get it done♥️🌹
My dream has always been building a tiny house in the middle of acres land in the woods.
You guys are such a very very big inspiration of mine. Keep it up!
I literally laughed out loud when you were talking about your cat attacking your 🎄! “I thought she would have outgrown it since last year.” I laughed and thought, “oh, poor deluded boy,lol!” Next year, when you are in your container home, wire the top of it and attach it to the ceiling, this will keep it standing tall. Secondly, only put wooden or un breakable ornaments on the bottom tiers. Love your videos! Warm hugs from Florida
how do you get the arial views, do you use a drone?
Just curious…do y'all use the outdoor shower in the winter?
My first thought when you said you were exhausted was “oh, I feel exhausted just watching you.” Well that’s total BS because I’m sitting around reading your posts while you are hard at work. I CANNOT imagine how you must feel by the time the sun sets. Every day you guys work like dogs! God bless you! I can’t believe what you’ve taken on. I’m so impressed. I hope you know we are all out here pulling for you. BTW, I love “the boys” and Squirrel. Sorry to tell you that one of my daughter’s cats is at least 12 years old and she still gets in the tree. Makes for adorable pictures but it’s hard watching your favorite ornaments shattered on the floor. Best idea, no matter how tacky, is to use styrofoam ornaments in the cat hot spots or at least on the bottom branches. Helps with kitties who want to bat the ornaments around and wagging doggo tails. If you’ve hung in there to read this post, again, I wish you all the best. ♥️
