We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who decided to make the leap from living the city life to an off-grid homestead. We have no training in carpentry or electrical work. We've come armed only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
Join us on our journey to move beyond a sustainable lifestyle into a regenerative one. We chose to live in the desert because we love the location and we wanted the challenge of bringing this desert landscape into productive abundance.

Hey when is the next video coming out
GREAT JOB !!! I new it looked like my HOME ARIZONA 👍 🇺🇸 🦅
Love watching you build this house. One question...when it rains like crazy, as it does in the desert, how do you keep the water from leaking into the underground structures? Does that plastic around the perimeter keep it all out? How do you keep it from seeping up through the floor? That's the only problem I can see, but you have to have worked that out already :)
Jim I can only hope you Have a full grasp of appreciation of what a wonderful life partner you have. She is one of a kind.
Definitely!
She is awesome!
There were a few times watching this I thought, oh that's not fair, she's got the harder job than him. I know I would have been complaining plenty of times throughout this project.
But she was awesome & didn't argue or complain about anything. Even that day when she had to put her hands in the ice cold mud, she basically just acknowledged that it was ice cold, but worked right through it.
She taught me something that I'm lacking in myself. That it's not about being selfish or fair how much work you put in as a team. She seemed very driven working towards the end goal and that was her main focus.
She's such an inspiration.
A rare find. 50 + years of looking. It’s a world full of Showell Louis Vuitton girls.
Watching you guys work so hard to achieve your dreams is inspiring!
Man, I
Love you, I love your bride, I love your dog, hell, I even love your snake.
The two of you are living my dream. You’re obviously a very smart guy. I don’t even know you but I’m proud of you.
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
UR home will prove aesthetics and price can be combined Dont give up!! ✊This is just the start!! There is a need for builders like you guys to show us this is possible!! Real life pioneers?🤔🤔
😀Thank you! Starting the dome currently.
Great hour spent. Looking forward to the next chapter.
You guys are awesome, I admire you guys for building your own future house. God Bless you.
Ive watched a couple hundred videos on building with earth, I like yours the best, explaining as you go , thanks for all the hard work. Looking forward to seeing the home finished.
Thank you!!
Big dog.. big you know what. But appropriate for the amount of land you have. Just beautiful.
I think your dog would stay close by and be a good boy... You're in the middle of the bush, let him chill with you guys outside 🙌😔 it looks a lot like Botswana,🇧🇼 dry and hot 😂 love this video explaining techniquesin detail. My heart is with you guys!! Wooohoooo!!!!! ❤️🙌
I believe you have done very well in your relationship during this build because of your common goal and Jess is an easy going person she is very forgiving. It probably because she loves you
4:05 Impromptu target practice. This is why I love watching you guys! ❤
Don't ever lose the magic, have a happy life. God bless you both.
Jim,Jessica nice recount of the underground bedroom. Can’t wait to see the Dome work start.
Your third build completed YAAY. A wonderful achievement. Having watched you from the start, it's obvious you've both grown in confidence and speed in what you're doing. You're such an inspiration. Oh and I love watching Crew take Jess for walks ; )
Best wholesome, truly entertaining and inspiring video I have seen in awhile. Glad I turned off the news. This was so much more interesting, pleasing, and educational than anything on tv. So glad to watch the progress. Love y’alls positive attitude and approach to your dreams. Taking responsibility for your own future and grateful to those around you. Blessings to you both! Can’t wait for the next one.
Thank you so much!
SWEET been watching,,, looking great. Best wishes......

I’m so excited for you & Jessica! Can’t stop watching.... Jim that Dome House is a dream of mine too! You & Jessica rocking it! S.E. New Mexico is watching with friends
Thank you Judy!
You are an inspiration to all of us. We also moved to the Arizona desert and building a home.
That's awesome!
I've been watching since August 2020, after stumbling on a video suggestion on my feed. Instantly hooked; subscribed on the second video. Impressed with how far you've come in just four months. Looking forward to the next step.

The Romans would burn / singe their wooden posts before sinking into the ground. They would not rot and be strong anchors for tge fort above ground. Sure made it easier to recognize the ruins on archeoligical digs.😀
I helped a couple friends with there Earth bag homes. It's a ton of work. But looks amazing. I built a hay bales home but it wasn't underground. Thinking about doing a combination with earth under like your bedroom and hay bales on top.
I used stucco on my house but thinking about your con idea instead. Cheaper. It cost me $6700 just for materials.
Great Job both of you. And love your Dog
Great
Awesome 👏
Thank you!
Love it! U guys R so beautiful together 😊Congrats❗️
Been watching some of your older videos and you two are an awesome Team
Best of luck in the future!
Great stuff! I like seeing builds like this. Keep up the good work, this helps motivate more people to do this
I just really like you guys.
Thank you!
felicidades por su proyectó. me motivan
Love the way you guys have transitioned to the narration of your videos...
Amen~!
I love you both. You work so hard
Great video
YOU are amazing.xx
Well done! It’s great how you streamline your processes.. A bedroom underground will allow you to absorb the healing energy of the earth❤️✨
Cool build
I sure love to see the finished product will look like I’ll be cool we’ve been watching much I can
Just watched a few of your videos and loving it, very inspiring.
Thank you!!
Just found your channel ...looking forward to seeing your growth
Can you add a second radius rod and put the barb wire on that and then just "roll the wire out as you finish up a row? As long as you have the wire rolls on the rod, you can just keep going round and round till wire runs out. Looks great! If I was to do this, I'd make connecting hallways to each different room. Did you put in drain pipes? I didn't see any.
Just watched the whole hour and three minutes. You are my new favorite channel!!!
I am 2.5 years into a ridiculous skoolie build.
I plan to do the same thing y'all are doing!!!
The partnership you two have is admirable.
Thank you!!😀

Might bee worth will to prospect that earth 🌎🤔⛏💰🪙👍🏁🤲
Ill be building my N M soon
Im rooting for you two! great video. I just started my 3 year plan to save up money and buy my own land (in northern Ontario), really looking forward to the day where I can start building myself :)
Thank you! Good luck!
Wow you 2 are so amazing all this hard work and you are building a beautiful home with your blood sweat and tears lol . Cant wait to see the next thing . keep warm . and one more thing its funny to see you all bundle up like Eskimos in Az while im here in Minnesota and it hasnt been so bad yet for this WINTER.. Later you two.
Thank you Shari! It gets chilly here in the mornings. 😁
@@ourselfreliantlife yeah I know Ive lived there myself for 10 years ..I was just there this past nov
I didn't catch why you are using barbed wire? Does it help in the wall's stability? 24:25 Question answered. Fascinating 👍
Me looking from Ceres in westen cape in Africa
I hope that plastic is enough to keep the water out of there. You certainly couldn't get away with that here in Tennessee. We use black tar And sometimes you still get a leak. But we also use concrete blocks for the foundations And basement houses
With all that leaning over do yall wear a back brace? I have mixed feelings about those but they're good when your in a hurry or tired and not using proper form
"No snakes were harmed in the filming of this video" haha. You two are inspiring.
just found your channel!!
1. youtube algorithm is sometimes really good
2. you guyz rock!!!
Thank you!
Buy a 3-hole or 4-hole threaded pipe flange, say 1". Center it and lag or bolt it to the top of the sub-floor. Once you screw in your 1" riser pipe to the flange you can use washers to plumb up the pole by putting them through the bolts,, under the flange to shim it till it's plumb.
Thank you William!
Great job, but I worry about the osb reacting to the weather.
When I first heard his voice, I thought it was Steve Buscemi talking.
I like you both
I bought piece raw land in Lancaster I made a huge mistake so windy and sands dust
Your living room and bedroom will somehow they be connected or do you have to get out of 1 and go into the other one. You both are doing an amazing job.
He says they will be connected. 1:02:55
I've watched a few videos of yours. Was guessing it was Arizona, but was not sure. Greetings from Brazil.
Enjoying watching your videos. What part of the house is each structure going to be. Just started watching and was a little confused when I saw more than one
Thanks for explaining the barbed wire. How are you sealing the bags closed?
The first one gets a nail. The others just rest against the last.
👍
in your application you don't necessarily need construction adhesive . Its a bear to repair or replace the flooring/roof I'm fighting water damaged flooring now
Awesome project. But regarding a bedroom underground, how do you control CO2-levels? Just via the rad-pipe? Is the thermal pressure even enough to pump it up outside?
I love watching your videos! I just moved to my land and want to build earthbag structures, one being tucked between two hillsides. You mention the bags cost about $100-200. May I ask where you order them from? Thank you for sharing your adventure and I look forward to watching more. Sending your Mother positive light and healing vibes. I wish her well
We have that info in this video.😁

@@ourselfreliantlife Thank you so much! I am still going through all your videos and LOVE THEM!! Fueling me and motivating me to start my project come spring. It's just myself, and it will take twice as long for me, but it will be all mine
Great video as always , question what you guys have plan for the floors in the bedroom
An earthen floor.
@@ourselfreliantlife I can't wait to see the floor. So is an earthen floor dirt?
I recently moved out to North Eastern AZ I'm in Apache County on 39 acres and this is something I want to do. I'm alone though. Any ideas? Suggestions advise lol. Best time of year to start these projects. Haha obviously monsoon season is not the time to start. LOL. I have perfect high ground though.
Me too and I'm old. I've been watching videos like this for the past 2 yesrs. Trying to learn ad much as possible. Sometimes I feel so alone in this. So refreshing to see others of like mind Best of luck to you
❤❤🍻🍻✔💪awesome movie 🎥 👌
👌🏻👌
Okay!
No woman would put up with this hardship unless
Jim shows in action unconditional love!
Congratulations Jim!
Your relationship skills are needed in a book!
How to stay married and keep your spouse happy!
Part of mans nature is to kill those rattlers, and there is good reason why, jim.
Hi there. New subscriber here. I really love your channel and videos so far. You both are really amazing to me.

@@ourselfreliantlife Thank you two
You all rock !!
And my neck of the woods course they didn't use dirt bags or bags of dirt but yet concrete for their walls wood heater for heat in the winter and ceiling fans for the summer of course the concrete was covered on three sides and the roof with Earth

How is your solar system handling your energy requirements? I’ve often thought that Arizona sounds like the perfect place for solar. Is it?
