Looks great.Hope it takes the wind.🤩👍👍
One year later and we have 50+ mph winds and all good! 👍
@@homesteadingwithblueskyranch 👍
Great design guys! I don't see a link for the strapping tho 🤔
Skweek & Frog so I viewed the transcript
Thank you for watching
How much was the total cost
We will have a new video soon
Thanks for making this video. Did anything work?? We have a mice/vole problem and it's threatening our 3-year old fruit trees. Any advice? Did you save the trees?
Yes it did work. I lost one tree but only because they had chewed through the tap root. So this fall I will check the wire I wrapped and repaint them with my castor oil concoction and start putting coffee grounds again around them. They aren’t bothered here until there is nothing else to eat. But lots of wire as low as u can get it and a cage when you plant really helps. Good luck! 👍
Maybe in the next video you can actually let Tom talk!😂
Tom would rather get it done. So getting him to do a video would be great!
EXCELLENT CONNECTIONS!
Thank you very much!
I suspect you will have water problems where your knee wall meets the top of the shipping containers. The roof of the conex has a small crown in it, so water from half the shipping container and the entire surface area of your new roof will tend to be trapped in this connection area creating ponding and drainage issues.
Thank you for watching. We live in a very dry area. No water problems so far after over a year. But if you did have water concerns gutters on the shop would be the way to go. Thank you for watching.
No anchors on the shipping containers - good so far. But when you added the Versatube structure did the taxing authorities reassess your project? I put two shipping containers on my property without property tax consequences, but I fear if I did more they would do what they do best.
The shipping containers don’t need anchors. They are 10,000 pounds each then all the added weight from stuff stored in them. Not going anywhere here. Thank you for watching.
@@homesteadingwithblueskyranch Of course not, except in hurricane areas. I didn't anchor mine either, I suspect the addition of concrete to anchor to would be the trigger for taxation as structure. Did your roof system draw the attention of the taxing authorities?
Great video. Quick note. The front side is the side with MC4 Output Controller. That side should be up. Looks like it was backwards in the video. 😅 sometimes hard to tell with the bifacials
You are absolutely correct! We figured that out after the video 😂. Thank you for watching and sharing your comment.
what was the cost for the kit?
We will be releasing a video soon on this. Thank you for asking.
Excelente trabajo. Felicitaciones
Thank you!
My EcoFlow Delta has been my biggest homesteading mistake yet! I have had countless problems with it and it often dumps all of its power with no warning, leaving me in a big bind. I would never purchase an EcoFlow again.
Oh no!!!!!! I sure hope we have better luck! Knowing that we will need to put it through its paces before the warranty runs out! Did you have the first or second model?
And I thought our homestead was windy. How do you keep anything there? Looks like it's blowing away.
It is sometimes hard here for sure! It blows almost all the time! We have really learned to build here with serious anchoring. My corn and sunflowers did pretty good in this last storm. Lost a few! Thank you for watching and your comment!
Que chulada de tiempo
My guess is that some rain water from the container roof(s) is shedding into the shop area.
Nope. We sealed it using a silicone seal between the container and sides. No water at all. Thank you for asking!
great job , is this in Arizona or New Mexico , did I miss what your plans for the building was , also you could cut a side door in the containers it will keep you out of the hot sun , that would make an excellent repair shop for me , Frank T
We are in Eastern Washington. Thank you for watching Frank and for your questions. It’s just to store our rv and farm equipment.
Did Versatube replace those bowed posts?
Versatube offered to but we were in a crunch so used them and straightened them to the best of our ability.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and attempts to save the trees.
Absolutely!!! It’s a battle! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing. Ps. Where are the trees? I’d get some trees planted They will feed your soil and create microclimates to improve the soil Microbiome and make your land much more fertile. Plus they will help Phil to the winds and reduce soil erosion. Also, they provide habitat for beds which will keep the piss down and fertilise your soil around the trees and elsewhere.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch our video. We have been unable to get any trees to grow here. The voles attack all the roots and we have extreme winds. But we do have huge gardens which do improve our soil. Thank you again!
Husband and wife turmoil 😮😅
Thank you for watching! Yes sometimes discussions are had lol 😂
I don't have a green house, but we had a house in Florida inside a screen lanai. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get a tan when I usually burn. The pool guy finally told me the screen on the lanai is UV protectant.
Well I guess it protects people too ❤️
Great video on shade cloth!!! Thanks
Thank you for watching!!!!
Pan slowly and widely over the scene so the viewer can see what's going on. I'm interested in details and when the camera is swinging around wildly I can't see as clearly as I could if you pan smoothly.
Thank you for watching. I am certainly new to this and will definitely try to get better ❤️
I self pollinated my cucumbers last year The bees 🐝 were not coming 😢
I’m still not seeing any bees. I check every day. I have lots of flowers blooming in my herb garden too. We had some very late frost though. 😞.
@@homesteadingwithblueskyranch still not much here either 😩 I’m trying the best I can but I think it’s the chemicals my neighbors spray Can not wait to live on a farm one day Good luck with the bees 🐝 & garden 🪴
Tom is an amazing Mr. Fixit!
Yes he is! There is nothing he can’t fix!
Thank you for these great ideas!!!!!!
I hope you find some treasures!
I think you may actually be fighting a new phenomena (global cooling) don't tell the scientist :)
Right! Pretty crazy weather!
Great video, thanks for sharing:)
You bet! Thank you for watching!
Where did you get the kit
We got it from Port A Cover in Spokane, Washington. Versatube website will show you all the dealers near you. We worked with the dealer to build what we wanted and it was then built by Versatube and shipped to the dealer. The dealer then delivered it to us.
Further thoughts, for every situation, there are various solutions. First investigation. Rebuild, replace, relocate. Second, adjustments to insurance rates. Third preventative measures, what does the insurance company set for preventative measures. And fourth, privatization of a fire dept. Located on your property, with water cannons at the ready. Just a thought.
Going to definitely get water cannons!
With Bill Gates buying up the farm land in America, do you think maybe there might be some manipulation here to land grab after residents leave their dwellings?!
Yes absolutely!
8:30 genius using the shipping pallet to extend the height when raising the frame!
That was one of those situations where what the heck are we going to do! But it worked and was pretty darn safe 🤣
Disgraceful! How can this be happening?
I wish I knew! The state insurance commissioner should not allow this to happen! But they are and the rest of us are left scrambling to figure out what we are going to do! We have upped all our deductibles, lowered coverages to pay more for less coverage. We feel really betrayed.
Think about the name "Progressive". What does the left call themselves? Progressive. I kicked Progressive to the curb. They find a way not to pay claims after charging all that money. This is just crazy.
And it looks like too that Progressive really isn’t owned by them but by another insurance company. All I know is they are all crooks!
@homesteadingwithblueskyranch Try filing a claim. We did and they demanded to come to my house to look at my financial records. F that. I told them to pound sand. Their job is to pay the claim, period. They don't need to look at my financials first. Good luck. Hope you find something affordable.
Is this the Blue Sky Ranch Zuckerburgs ate involved with?
lol if I had Zuckerberg money don’t think I’d be worried about $2,500! Heard he just bought a billion dollar yacht! So no absolutely not affiliated with the Zuckerbergs!
@homesteadingwithblueskyranch Thank heavens! Yeah, have you seen the Yacht? Its HUMONGUS! It looks like a cruise ship. I just watched a video their farm is called Blue Sky. That's why I asked. You might want to copyright or Trademark your name so they cant use it. Then send them a cease & desist to stop using your name, like Sony did to that lady over the name of her tiny eatery. Her name is Sony, and Sony Corp sued her for using her own name.
@Lacey_Face we are trade named in the state we live in. Thank you for watching and for your support! Please subscribe it really helps our channel! Have a blessed day!
You hit the nail on the head with this video! (THEY) want to take our homes and our money that we scrimped and saved so we could retire. Now our fixed income is getting eaten up in the last 4 years at a unprecedented rate!!!! There are zero answers with our present uni-party system. God help us.
Yes God help us ALL!!!! Thank you for your support and comment.
If you can get rid of the insurance, I would. If not then get the minimum possible. Better to put the money away yourself. I own my property outright and don't have property insurance. I have only the minimum auto insurance required by law. Better to put the money under the mattress than give it to a company who only cares about their almighty dollar.
It’s a scary time for sure! They are certainly out for themselves!
Why is calcium good for plants?
Good question! It is especially important for tomato plants! It helps to grow strong healthy plants and tomatoes but it also helps to protect against blossom end rot.
It gives them strong bones 👍🏻 Calcium is what plants use for the cell walls. So in a way it is like bones even though I meant it jokingly, there is a bit of truth to it. Plants don’t need to much though, after all it is a micronutrient.
Yes!!! Absolutely!
Excellent!
Thank you!
If they come back, they're perennial.
You are right! I was thinking they come back annually and said the wrong term! Thanks for the catch! ❤️
Never trust a weather man.
Lesson learned for sure! Expect the unexpected!!!!
Such strange weather. Have you thought of possibly using recycled vegetable oil for candles to heat the hoop house over night?
Interesting idea 🤔.
Picking up gardening after the climate is fully destabilized was definitely not my cleverest move. But im still enjoying myself so much!
I love dirt! So getting my hands dirty is just good for my soul! If it grows that’s just an added bonus! Keep on gardening! Thank you for watching! 😊❤️
Glad you didn't lose all that hard work! My back & knees are too messed up to garden anymore. I'm lucky to get around in the house nowadays! I do plan to grow some alfalfa sprouts, though, now that the food poisoning scare has stopped them being sold commercially. And I sometimes regrow my green onions. Might try some bell peppers inside this summer. They're charging over a dollar a pepper right now!
You can even grow butter crunch lettuce inside! I hear you on the back and knees! I am wearing double knee braces and a back brace sometimes! Still try to keep going! Thank you for watching ❤️😊
Nice! I love this idea. We always wait until after Mother's Day to plant anything where I live in the Midwest.
I live in Eastern Washington. Zone 6b. Trying to get a little jump start! Thank you for watching! I hope this works for you 🤞😊
awesome job. Wind genny and solar on the roof
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
@@homesteadingwithblueskyranch you guys deserve it. I like to see people being able to live off grid and out of this systemic nonsense.
Thank you for watching and supporting our journey!
Thank you for these videos! My husband and I want to buy land and homestead and these videos are extremely helpful
Thank you so much! That means so much! Happy homesteading!!❤️❤️
Did that work?
Yes! They did not come back to those trees again and it didn’t wash off with the rain either.
Now that's a great tool! Does the worker come with it :)
It might be able to be arranged! Thanks for watching!
