This project has been in the works for a while. I finally got some land to start developing for some new projects. 20 acres in this beautiful mountain valley.

I'm hoping to get some small buildings on it, get a well drilled, plant some fruit trees, and get the camper up here....

    The vent for the water heater should have been out the side not the front. The last thing I would want to do is force air down the vent pipe. Also, I would not have put an outlet in the bathroom, but if I did it would have been GFCI.

    And for those that are going to do the same thing and waterproof their own customized shower, please steer as far away from using a whole thing of caulk on it before you use a roll-on latex shower paint that they use when they install showers I don’t remember exactly what it’s called but you can paint it on any surface and it will waterproof itand you just apply it generously in the corners and use multiple coats

    It risks blowing off the pavers once it has siding and a roof. Maybe tip, even if it's anchored to the pavers. I would cast 4 anchors with 80lb of concrete in a 5-gallon bucket and galvanized straps protruding. Then bury each 3ft+ deep at the corners at screw the strap to the frame. The anchors will resist uplift with the weight of a 45-degree inverted cone of soil above them. Use hurricane straps at the roof connection and ring-shank nails or screws for the siding/sheathing.

    • @befreebuilds
      @befreebuilds Před 6 měsíci

      Good idea. I was kind of expecting to retrofit better anchors on it, especially after experiencing some of the winds out here

  • @Ricxxstr
    @Ricxxstr Před 6 měsíci

    Nice video. I’ve got a jig that speeds up framing by eliminating the measuring for the stud. You can lay out 24, 16, or 12” on center and it holds them in place while you nail. I’ll find it and send you a photo. I’ll bring them when I come out there. One other suggestion would be to have plumbed the joist ends that way the facia boards stay vertical and water will not ruin them as fast. Great job.

    • @befreebuilds

    Does the ceiling have wrought iron bars... that would be strong enough to support a hammock? My hammock stand is exactly is 7'11". I think I'm probably going to get a 5x8 trailer for my Jeep to pull. During the day, I want as much open working space as possible. So hopefully it'll work out great 🙂

    • @befreebuilds
      @befreebuilds Před 5 měsíci

      The bars are pretty strong, but I'm not sure I'd trust a hammock on these. If you added some bracing that could distribute the weight to the floor, you could probably make it work though

  • @madcow3417
    @madcow3417 Před 7 měsíci

    I'm in Colorado and every county I looked at had restrictions for how long you could stay in a non-permanent structure (trailer). It makes camping there difficult and living in a trailer on-site while building a structure would be impossible. There were all kinds of other things, like gold-claims, or properties without mining rights. Some places required a grid hook-up for any permanent residence with no apparent exemption for an off-grid home. I'm interested in how you searched for a piece of land you can actually use. Maybe a subject for another video?

    • @befreebuilds
      @befreebuilds Před 7 měsíci

      Yeah I'm encountering similar restrictions about camping on your own property, which is frustrating. They have more permissive rules for "tiny houses" builds and permitting so I may go that way. I can definitely do off grid solar, though, so it can be fully off grid

    • @librab103
      @librab103 Před 7 měsíci

      Colorado seems to have the most restrictions while states like AZ, NM, NV have their own restrictions but most of the time it deals with septic tanks. When I found out how restricted Colorado is, I started looking for land elsewhere.

    Although the grey and black tank straps are likely galvanized, id still probably paint them for looks and more structural integrity from oxidization, but i freaking absolutely love the vinyl walls, ill definitely be doing that on my conversion, probably same color to, but possibly brown wood look over grey ,but grey for floors
