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 learn to live a more self-reliant life.
As of 2023, we are officially living inside our self-built A-Frame home and building on the bedroom wing addition.

Erin said its not about the fall its the impact!! 😂
Josh you are one lucky guy. Erin is a badass!
You might not ever see this…but I’m in the same area 😉! So if your parents ever need anything, don’t hesitate to give me a shout!!! Also, I’ve followed your journey from nearly the beginning! Love watching you guys and what you’re doing! I just gotta do some catching up on your videos!
I'm kind of jealous that you guys got rain I live on the western side of West Virginia we've been dry so dry.
When do you start adding the Joist Hangers?
She's perfect for you Josh. And I'm not just talking about the build and the businesses. She's ride or die on every level.
Hi I Michelle love watching you guy have fun
Josh you have two lads that would be better on the roof of your wife ,your boys look very healthy use them give the missus a break …Teach the lads building trade cheers
Could you please mess up Josh‘s hair for me just once
harness after loading. doing a great job for people not knowing what to do
Please use harnesses while working from the man lift as well. The basket has a tie off point that can support both workers. 😊
I just bought LMNT with my code and it is delicious! I'm a fan!
So glad to hear you enjoy it too! 🎉

Love watching the progress you guys are making on the house. Curious, don’t they use “Henwalks” over there, it’s basically a ladder with a hook on one end to hang over the roof ridge, … would make things a lot easier for any roofing work you do
Why such a steep roof?
❤ Awesome job. Awesome determination. From Montreal 🇨🇦✨👋🏼🌸. Be blessed 🌸✨
It turned out very nice
Wonder Woman Erin, a multifaceted polished diamond, Josh is very fortunate as are the kids. From the very beginning consistency and a teacher to her kids as well.
you're all great together
What kind of routine do you do at night, for your legs after going up and down that ladder!! You’ve got to get leg cramps
the last roof until you build your DIY pole shed! lol
What did you guys do for a toilet? I had to ask. LOL.
You guys are awesome nuts. Why not a flat roof 🤔.
Love you guys, may God Bless you with good health and prosperous businesses. Always!
Glad to see you using gloves Erin!
Erin you are an absolute beast with that sheathing!! Seriously inspiring!
Really love the new video style ... it's like a documentary. Well done!
Erin, you are one beast of a woman. I find it incredible that you push those sheets of zip sheathing up the roof line by yourself. If Josh didn't have you, I don't think he would have been able to accomplish what you two have done together.
Excellent teamwork xxxxx
I hate to be the "JERK" who brings politics into this video. I normally would not do it but feel compelled to do so. Please hear me out. I have been watching this channel since the camper days maybe had a couple handful of subscribers and was doing it on an iphone those videos you could sense their desire to achieve their dreams and willing to do whatever work it took. I was nervous for them especially when Josh quit his electrical job and especially with a young family of 3. All long term subscribers and new ones that have gone back to the start can attest to the fact this family worked for what they got literally put in the blood, sweat and tears. Now for the political part: It's come to my attention that Kamala and Walz have both said they would give those who have worked hard to get what they got to those who do not have or work hard for. A lot more has been said and those are extreme ideas basically they believe in and would enforce "equitable distribution and treatment" I'll keep it at that. I just could not under any circumstances vote for them out of fear this family could lose what they worked for and continue to work for let alone any other family or myself for that matter.

Hello, I am a licensed General Contractor and a Civil Engineer in AZ. I worked my way through college as a framing contractor. I have two important suggestions to help you: 1. The framing project of your home's roof is extremely difficult, complicated and dangerous. I applaud your courage, work ethic and success to no end. Having said this, I think you would have been ahead to hire a local framing company to build the roof portion of your project. Now that you are nearly complete, this is hindsight "armchair" quarterbacking. But if you have future projects, I would ask you to keep this in mind. Frame carpenters spend years developing the strength, the skill, the balance and the knowledge to build complex conventionally framed roofs like this. Please don't take this as a criticism because I have nothing but respect and praise for your effort here. 2. It is VERY important that you install midspan blocks on between your roof rafters. Not only does code require it, it is necessary to ensure the strength of the structure of your room during high-wind, storm events like tornados. Remember here that I am a Civil Engineer who has done structural engineering. When a tornado contacts your roof, the uplift force on the rafter structure is incredible. The only thing that causes the roof to stay in place is the mechanical series of metal strapping that connects the roof to the second floor, the second floor to the first floor, and the first floor to your concrete pylon foundation. An EF 4 or EF 5 tornado has more than enough force to lift your entire house up into the sky if it is not anchored to the foundation. It appears that you have anchored your structure with strapping which is good. But another force comes into play when you are hit with a tornado. When a structure that is anchored to the foundation is hit with a tornado, their are powerful "twisting forces." The tornado will try to twist the house to weaken it. This is were midspan blocking between your roof rafters becomes critical. If you have midspan blocking, as the tornado tries to twist the roof structure, the roof will act as one unified unit. The midspan blocks will absorb the incredible torque that the winds are applying to the roof and wedge the roof into one solid structure that won't twist. Without the blocking, as huge forces are applied to the roof, the long rafters will start to twist under the roof sheathing. As they twist, they weaken, and the roof begins to separate. This can cause catastrophic failure, and that is why IBC and structural codes require midspan blocking on all conventional roofs, even flat roofs. I strongly encourage you to install the midspan blocking now while it is accessible and easy to do so. It will only take a couple of hours, and it could save your family's lives in a catastrophic storm event. Keep in mind that tornados can come at night while you are asleep, so it will take time for you to move your family into your concrete storm shelter. Installing midspan blocking will buy you precious time to save your family's lives if an EF 4 or 5 tornado hits your home.
Hi Frank- Thanks for taking the time to comment! We have been working on I stalling blocking as we move along the build. So far we've only finished two sections but we will continue adding it in as we move along 😊
@@WildWonderfulOffGrid Thank you for your response. I am very happy to hear this because it could save your family's life. One other quick note. Now would be the best time to install the midspan blocking, I will communicate why. Professional framing carpenters use the midspan blocking to straighten the long roof rafters on a conventional roof. This makes it MUCH easier for the drywall contractors to install drywall on the underside of the rafters, or if you are installing a wood ceiling, it will make your job much easier. Straightening the roof rafters helps virtually every other trade that follows in the construction schedule, including plumbers, HVAC installers, trim carpenters and electricians. Crooked roof rafters can cause a litany of finish and installation problems later on and using midspan blocks to straighten them is a fairly quick and easy solution. I can't wait to see your finished home. It's going to be stunning!
Erin, so proud of you, can’t wait till you don’t have to go up high on the roof again.❤️
Hello I remember watching one of your videos (3or4) back from your last one where Josh had advertised a solar generator and I’m currently looking for one that I can use while camping. I know nothing about them and I was hoping Josh could point me in the right direction. Thanks
We find Anker or Ecoflow to be the most reliable brands we have used (and we've tried a lot!) They both have a variety of sizes depending on your needs
@@WildWonderfulOffGrid thank you for the reply. I’m looking for a bigger size for sure. Maybe a 5-6000 watt unit. I want to be able to run a heater in the winter months. Do you guys still have a promo code if I decide to buy on. Thank you again.
Because you live in the country does that mean you don't have to have permits?
What ever happened to the tree house build? Is it just on pause since you tore the concrete down?
👍❤️
Do you guys use LMNT and AG1 in the same day?
Yes! Actually we use both back to back before breakfast. One is a supplement and the other is for hydration so they serve different purposes
came for the secret service jokes
Great
Erin is awesome. Just a mention. Those safety ropes have way too much slack in them. I know it’s a PITA to keep adjusting them, but could save your life.
Why are those zip boards so scew?
You two are amazing, I admire Erin and Josh for the hard work and the roof I don't know if I will be able to do that. Great job ❤❤
Very Impressive .
❤❤❤❤❤
Ι can't get why you chose such a complicated roof! A second A frame perpendicular to to the existing one with the same height roof line would be a much better solution, aesthetically and construction wise.
The perfect couple Josh is a true craftsman and Erin is beautiful and strong I have watched them since the beginning and was amazed Erin picking up 80 pound bags of concrete And dumping into the mixer and handling those giant 2x12s and sheets of plywood is tough I bet they both sleep well every night. Also I love watching their little girl with all the animals is precious
We’re heading into Spring/Summer - do you ship to New Zealand? (Soaps). I know post covid shipping has been exponential. ✌🏼
I was wondering how you were gonna tackle the top echelon - genius. And Erin - with your fear of heights - champion. Outstanding guys 👏🏼 👏🏼 🎉
