With the rafters at the back of the house now extending from the ridge beam to ground level, we are able to turn our attention to closing in the front of our A-Frame. We need to build a new wall on top of the existing A-Frame roof, sheath the front and then install new rafters from the third level loft to the front of the addition.

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 learning to live a more self-reliant life.
Our house build is documented entirely on our main channel "Wild Wonderful Off-Grid" and the buiness/work related side of our life can be found on our secondary channel "Josh and Erin- The After Show". Here you will see us renovating our Cafe, opening/operating the Cafe with goods from our farm, building/furnishing/running our short term rentals, finding/operating our other real estate investments and more.

Bro you should wear safety glasses 🎉
Any Father's Day discount codes coming out?
I know you don't need validation from any of us, but the two of you really are doing a phenomenal job raising your kids!
❤️❤❤ thank you so much😊
@@WildWonderfulOffGridDo they go off to high school at a certain age in your country?
You guys never cease to amaze with the work ethic and strong family values. Thank you for allowing a bunch of strangers into you life to see this amazing journey.
Thank you for following along with us ❤
Yes thanks so much 🙏
I love the way you two play around and enjoy each other. It's never harsh or rude just playful and fun. We need a break from all the toxicity that floating around.
That's because she makes her threats before the camera rolls. Josh has been sleeping with one eye open since 2007. 😜😜
(They probably wouldn’t give air time to their less- pleasant conversations) - I mean, why would they? 🤔
I'm a semi-retired architect and I'm amazed at how well you are building the house. Oversized studs and rafters and lots of screws. On top of that the natural strength of the A-frame, this place will stand for generations.
Ellie has become such a wonderful young lady. She really has grown into a big helper on the farm. I love that all of your kids are learning the value of hard work and family teamwork.
Ya but Ellie needs a baby sister
Glad to see you're feeling better Erin, you had most of us a little worried. You sure do push your physical abilities to the limit sometimes. Have a great Holiday weekend WWOG my CZcams Family!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊
I agree. Working hard is both enjoyable and profitable. But God created the world in six days. Then he rested the seventh day. That was just an example to his created to make sure to take an appropriate amount of time for rejuvenation. Wishing all of you a great weekend. God bless all.
I think the shock of suffering a minor stroke just out of the blue will take the most time to fade, but my big sister had a (more major) one almost twenty years ago now and made a 100% recovery with absolutely no repercussions since, so I hope and pray for Erin to recover fully like that too. She is a total rock in that family 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
Glad to see it coming along. You guys will be done in no time.
Hope you find some time to relax this long weekend as we all think about the women and men who’ve served this great country and paid the ultimate price. Thank you all.
OM Gosh, Josh and Erin I remember the camper days and all the struggles with no real shower just an outside area. You have come such a long way as they say and have grown so much as adults and with the children. The 3rd time was a charm with Ellie, she is a gift from God as are the boys as well. Glad to see you are whole and well Erin. 🥰🙏💞
I get so invested in each episode that I don’t realise when the end of it is coming,can’t wait for the next episode 👏
The lambs were so cute. Then when you are walking out the little lamb was happily following you. I love watching you two.
Hope you’re all having a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. I love seeing the progression each week. Take care of yourselves and just enjoy every minute of it all.
Don't call it Wild n Wonderful for nothing ! This whole journey from the camper to your amazing home has been an incredible ride my friends ' Aloha ❤️
I have been following you guys almost from the beginning. You better not even think of stopping the episodes until we know how Ellie’s story plays out into adulthood. She is such a gem and natural with animals. You guys must just stand back and watch in wonder and awe. I am sure you are just as proud of your two boys as well. Love your channel and am always impressed with how you two work together. God bless you.
Almost heaven, West Virginia,....with you good people in it I dare say heaven is a place on earth.
The sounds of nature as Ellie is putting the lambs to bed nearly had me spellbound by angelic chorus.
Love you guys. Thank You. You exemplify the liberty and values our fallen heroes fought and died for. You honor their memory by being you.
Agree 💯%.
Your heartfelt words paint a beautiful picture of the tranquility and serenity of West Virginia, and the warmth of your sentiment towards those who inhabit it is truly touching. It's moments like these, surrounded by nature's symphony and the love of good company, that remind us of the precious gift of life and the freedom we cherish. Your gratitude and appreciation for the simple joys and the values upheld by our fallen heroes are a testament to the enduring spirit of community and unity. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt message of love and appreciation.
Another Ellie, or another boy. I'm not kidding you, that sounds like a winner to me. That would be so much fun and a blessing to the world. And I betcha' Ellie would be the best big sister ever.
I’m a retired milkman, I have no idea which end of a hammer to hold it so when Josh explains cuts & building the house he lost me @57* and 57* 🤪🤪🤪✌️😂😂 the home is looking terrific 👏👏👏. I like how Josh always puts a positive twist on things, instead of forest fires 🙏🙏🙏 WV gets rain daily. Stay safe out there and may God ✝️ 🙏 bless all of you with good health and happiness
More children Josh. More children. Fill that house with sound of love, laughter and tears for decades to come.
There will be grandkids soon enough. Those boys will be married with kids before too long.
I was about to say in a few more years the boys will be old enough to start, not too soon but you never know - three kids is more than enough. They also have all the animals because farm life ain't easy.
This is why I love this show so much, the farm animals get to be a major contributor to the video and guide Josh on what needs to be done.
So good to see Ellie learning to be an entrepreneur already.
Greatest parents ever.
I really hope you never stop making videos! I feel like life is going by so fast. And it's nice with all the negativity on line there is something good to look forward to. You are all so amazing.
Ellie is growing up so fast! I remember seeing her in her backpack when you first began building your home. She had those cute little pigtails on both sides of her head up high 😊
I was thinking the exact same thing. ❤
I can tell you guys are happier in this video because you're getting closer to finishing it. Great work
I kinda chuckled when you said you were getting to old. My grandpa was 61 when my dad was born. I can't even imagine.
Congratulations the dream build is coming together and shaping up like a true home!! incidentally...in your marriage ceremony it'sdeclared:"the two shall become one AND now weekly "both of you" as ONE are revealing the true Secret and are sharing it with us..LOVE in each of TIME'S MOMENTS!! From your family to us your extended LOVE FAMILY of God!😇
What a beautiful analogy, and it's truly heartwarming to see your dream build evolving into a real home filled with love and warmth. Your comparison of marriage unity to the joint effort you and Erin put into each weekly reveal is incredibly touching-it's a testament to the strength of your partnership and the shared commitment to creating something special together. Your openness in sharing your journey with us reflects the genuine love and generosity that binds us all as a community. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your extended love family.
Love your unique style, never change!
I went back and re-watched some of your first videos, when you were clearing the land and starting your home, while living in an RV. How far you have come! Such a accomplishment, and with the complexity of your addition, you both have become very skilled home builders. Plus all the work you did in completing your awesome cafe. Plus the video editing is wonderful. All your sacrifice, and hard work is paying off. Congratulations! You have something to be very proud of.
when i first started watching yall put flooring down on the original build Ellie was so small now she's becoming such a big helper.
Watching you and your family and the way you interact with each other restores my faith in humanity!! BRAVO!!
Just in case you don’t realize it, or are just used to it; your wife is a beast (in the complimentary way).
While my wife is always there to help, she’s very feminine, and a bit older now (me too!).
Beauty, brains, and brawn. Quite the combination for a helper when building your own home. Always impressed with your attitude and work ethic. Good for you all.
The little vet is a mini version of her mom.❤
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
This is my kind of reality tv. Thanks for good wholesome family entertainment and showing work ethic, trade skill, business management and creativity all in one... great example for others.
Ellie is such a treasure! I love watching how much she loves every animal she encounters, and is such a responsible care taker. I got a little chuckle, though, during the 'business' education :) Like someone else said, please don't ever stop until we see Ellie all grown up! I can see her becoming a Vetrinarian down the road
Love the sound of the different birds in the background towards the end of the video
Ellie is such a sweetie with the animals. Such a great helper with chores and helping with the making of soap. Learning about business, money and such at a young age is giving her the tools to be successful with whatever she choses to do. Beautiful family with great values. Enjoy your videos so much.
I look forward every week to see the progress of the build. But most of all the joyful banter between the 2 of you really works to make the build go easier. Can't wait till next week!!!
I loooove their banter, as well!
Erin is getting better and better
At 67 and a diy guy I so enjoy watching the progress over the years and I hope younger people watch and get inspired. So wish I knew then what I know now and started a project like yours when I was 40. Awesome as a family and creators. Envious. Best wishes to you and yours.
I was watching for this video to appear. What took you so long? 😉😉😉🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂
Love Josh’s response about having another baby. “That’s NOT what I’m saying!” 😂😂😂😂
I know how excited I get when I see more accomplished in every video, so I can’t imagine how you all feel the closer you get to completing your build. You’ve come so far. It reminds me of a “saying” you quoted, Erin, in one of these videos & that was, “Little by little a little becomes a lot.” That’s so true & I keep that in my mind.
Looking forward to the next video!
I am so glad a smidge is a standardised measuring unit! ;-) 🙂
Good morning, All. ❤❤❤
Your expansion is looking so much bigger and complicated the more of the roof you add on. I marvel at how you have a plan drawing to go by.
Stay safe and love from Mike. ❤
Ellie is getting so big and doing a great job on the farm. Good on you guys for doing such a great job raising your family. Just awesome! Oh yeah.....the house is looking good.
Josh and Erin's dedication to their home construction project is truly remarkable. From extending the rafters at the back of the house to closing in the front of their A-Frame, every step reflects their unwavering commitment and determination. Their attention to detail and perseverance shine through as they meticulously build a new wall atop the existing roof and sheath the front, preparing for the installation of new rafters. Their passion for creating their dream home is inspiring, and it's a joy to witness their progress at every stage of this remarkable journey.
The farm was so very alive on this video, marvelous sounds from every direction!!!
Good morning, I used to build houses for years in my past life, now retired Viet Nam Vet with total disability due to Agent Orange back in 1967. But I live it all with your projects and videos. Have followed you since the very beginning of your home build. Anyway I am going on probably my last road trip in my camper Van and plan to come to your cafe in Romney on Thursday morning this week. Want to try you breakfast items and my wife wants more of your candles too. So will see you maybe on Thursday in Romney. Take care and keep doing what you do. It is great for me and my mental health.
You two work so well together…..my husband and I did, but needed to be on opposite sides of the room!! 🤣🤣. It is a gift, for sure!! Your home is going to be gorgeous! Greetings from Pennsylvania! 💕🌷🐻
The build is coming along and it is going fast, great job. Before long it will be time to bring in the furniture and set up the rooms. Loved that Erin is teaching Ellie the economics of running an egg selling business. That's very important to show your kids. Many young people go to college and when they come out they don't even know how to handle a checking account. Ellie and the boys are being trained by Josh and Erin the how too's of life. Great job and until the next one be safe and prosper.
Love seeing the house get further along. Watching you do the soap and explaining how the beer helps your skin was so interesting. Then Ellie is so cute doing her eggs and feeding the sheep! It’s great the way you’re explaining how Ellie has to remember her overhead for her egg business! So incredibly important for kids to learn as soon as they start doing even odd jobs! You guys are just amazing to watch!!
Ugh, had to subscribe again. Can’t stop watching these 2 build. :-). After all, they did inspire me to move my entire family away from the horrible state of Louisiana, to the mountains of Idaho!
Wowzer, I am so tired....But cannot tell you how happy I will be when Roofing is DONE! LOL 🎉. And I am just watching. 😅😅
Glad to see all are well & especially Erin! 🎉. You two are soo amazing 👏 😍!! Love & prayers always your way from me. ❤
Love lamb Calling lamb. Lol
Lovely video! Everything just awesome! little business lady coming up well, lovely family ❤
Your community is absolutely lucky to have yall around!! ❤❤❤
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who fixes minor framing mismatches with a planer☺️.
Love the sounds of the tree frogs and birds as you are working .
Sounds like you are living in the Rain Forest .
Nice to see the addition coming along nicely too .
Much Aloha kiddo's your both doing so well building your abode the way you want, one step at a time, been here since the trailer days, build on.
I wanted to explain something to a young person the other day but I felt he just wasn't grasping things. So I suggested he get a Websters Dictionary and look up the word/phrase "Work Ethic." Sure enough when he looked it up there was a picture of Josh and Erin. Now he believes me and understands what i was telling him. :-)
Josh and Erin you both work well together always laughter and smiles and Ellie gets in on the scene with her gorgeous smile you truly have a wonderful life and you devotion to each other is phenomenal you build as if you know were everything is to go, you produce candles and soaps the question is what's next in store for people to have and to watch you complete your build. Thank you for sharing and Erin keep on smiling because you bring glamour and hope with your caring ways . Look forward to your next video and please both of you be safe building your house at great heights how about a harness for Erin. And also you Josh .
I've said this before, but I'll say it again. You guys give me hope for the future of this country!
5:28 nice visual/verbal pun, Erin! What a wit! Do we call that a stroke of genius?
This is the most amazing family on the internet. I wait every week for the marvelous videos. To watch beautiful little ellie around the animals and helping mom the future of these children is very bright. Learning the rewards from hard work and determination from Josh and Erin the children will go very far in life. Blessings to this family for sharing with the world.
Its such a joy watching you guys work as an amazing team, and I love seeing Ellie with the animals and the candle making. Your videos are a beautiful combination of what is happing in your lives. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Your “show” is better than prime time TV!!!!!look forward to every video!!!!
This house is going to be a fabulous home! Bravo to you all! This family works together in all things. How very awesome is that! It’s so beautiful the country side. The views stunning. Looking on the bright side of any issue. Thank you for sharing. I just love everything you do. xoxox❤ Grandma Debbie 18:50
With all of those metal roofs it makes scence to capture all of that rainwater into a vertical water tank that can be gravity fed to your fruit trees, vegtable and herb gardens. Based on the rain fall in your climate zone, you should be able to capture close to 500,000 gallons of water per year. And since that water can be fed by gravity, you could reduce your monthly power consumption by atleast 30% to 50%. That translates to saving thousands of dollars per year on your water bill. You could even install a small in line water turbine to generate additional electricity that would make the water saving system even more efficient just because you live on a hill. I did all of those things just mentioned including water saving toilets, faucets and shower head fixtures, energy star certified kitchen appliances and mechanical equipment. I also use the gravity fed gray water from the house to irrigate the herb garden and fruit trees. If freezzing pipes are a problem because of all the snow, insulating the underground pipes wrapped with heat tape can help avoid those problems.
Just great. Love to see the progress. the teamwork and genuine affection for each other. You guys are living your dream.
Tree frogs can be loud but golly be glad you weren't in TN the past three weeks. Not only were the cicadas loud, they were everywhere...flying at your face, flying into the car, garage and house. Swarming on fences. Sheesh, I'm glad that's over for 13 years!
For an electrician Josh makes constructing a complicated roof look easy. Boy all those angles !
So sweet watching the lambs follow you around!🤠❤️
That is a very complicated build. Glad you know what you’re doing. I would be lost. But it is starting to look like a house. Looking good!!😊
It’s coming along nicely. Thanks for the laughs too. I had breakfast at the cafe yesterday and bought a couple candles. I would love to say hi before we leave Tuesday. ❤
So satisfying to see the shape of your home coming together!!! ❤❤❤
All I can say is that I just love you all. It’s so heart warming to watch you all work and love each other everyday. We are going to make it to Romney from Berkeley Springs to your beautiful cafe. We are waiting when are family are at are house then go for a whole day. Big hugs and happiness to you. 😊❤
A great visit..Miss Ellie being the best at her job n you 2 multi- tasking as usual....stellar visit!
Thanks..n enjoy sometime this weekend
In quiet relax mode,jus for a minute..
N relax!! Ya'll earned a break!!
Preciate ya'll!!
🇺🇸 🤙🦊🧙♂️🐺👍🇺🇸
My newphew Charles Jr and his wife Pat alos got a little girl. They did not know she was pregnant. They have one boy and two girls in blue ridge Ga. The addition is comming along! I like the coffee shop too. Paul in Ohio
Ellie IS a charm! And the star of show!!!
Sun up to sun down - amazing ❤
I've been binging your first build videos that I missed. You guys are great! Isn't it about time for a Josh dancing montage again???😂😂😂❤❤ love y'all!
Bravo Ellie et Erin pour la confection de très beaux gâteaux 🍰. Vous avez une très bonne harmonie familiale et très bonne entente avec avec Josh ainsi que vos enfants. 👏👍😘🇫🇷
The roof is coming along fine. You two and family work together well. Enjoy you channel.
I'm so happy for y'all keep inspiring others with your videos and I will continue to pray for everyone staying strong and steadfast and healthy to accomplish your goals with all my love God bless everyone amen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Erin I am amazed at your physical strength handling heavy sheets of plywood. You and Josh are a great team and love your ability to improvise and accomplish difficult building tasks. BRAVO to you both.
You two are such a great team together. Such a cute couple and wonderful parents. You have such good caring hard working kids. Such a sweet wonderful family i love watching your channel. I allways look forward to your videos. They allways put a smile on my face. Looking forward to next week's video. Hope you take time for a little rest and family time. Love you guys Hugs ❤️🙏
Excellent work Erin and Josh!
I love A-frame design, because it looks nice and it's very "forgiving". No one would see if the house is not straight up, vertical due the design.
But I would like a better loft space. So, I was thinking that maybe the loft should be on 2 levels, like at 1 level and half you have some space to walk around and have a desk and closet as you normally have into a bedroom, and at the top level you just have a sleeping pod. So, somewhere at the middle of the house you go up on the stairs and reach the 1.5 level, then from the 1.5 level you jump into bed (sleeping pod) climbing another small ladder (3-5 steps). The children could spend most of the day at the 1.5 level ( playing or doing their homework).
To make that happen, I would dig a small basement ( 4ft underground ) at the middle of the house for kitchen and/or bathroom.
Basement would also offer some safe space during a tornado, there's also room for a potential furnace or just a safe space (no freezing) for plumbing.
"There's a tornado (there's a tornado) in my city (in my city)
Hit the basement (hit the basement), that shit ain't pretty (shit ain't pretty)
Rugged whiskey (rugged whiskey) 'cause we survivin' ('cause we survivin')
Off red cup kisses, sweet redemption, passin' time, yeah"
your entire family and network of your life amazes me.
Elle is so cool, her reaction when you told her she was going to make 5 per dozen, and then you told her she has to pay for her business expenses. Thats a precious moment right there.
You can use a hand sander without sandpaper to vibrate the sides of the soap forms to get all the air bubbles out.
Y'all are doing a fine job at doing all you do...Take a breather once in a while...Take care..❤😊
Well I just ordered two bars of Beer soap. They almost look good enough to eat, the way you make them. Somehow washing my mouth out with soap takes on a whole new meaning. 😉🤣Looking forward to getting them. Love the Appalachian candle I bought back in Jan. Thanks everyone!
A real pleasure to watch you two at work. Erin is a strong woman, helping lift all those boards, like I say, it is a pleasure, stat safe.
I think you are a wonderful family. You are doing a wonderful job with your children and your home.
Erin, I am concerned about the amount of heavy lifting you are doing. It wasn't long ago you had a health scare please be careful and don't hide it if you feel at all unwell, tell Josh.
I really love all of you but sometimes you scare the living daylight out of me with how high up you are on that build. I can't wait until it is finished and you start designing the inside. Both of you have great taste.
I send you all lots of hugs from Glasgow, Scotland. Take care. Xxx
I lay in my bed recovering over and over from monoclonal antibody therapy for cancer…
I look forward each week for the latest video - living vicariously through Josh and Erin’s videos. Erin and Josh’s strength and perseverance is so inspiring. The love I see is wonderful! Jesus taught us love beyond comprehension. I pray for you to embrace Him!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. My favorite from today’s video is Josh loving on the lambs! Thank you
Another great video of you raising amazing children, house and animals. Well done my good friends.
You guys are doing an awesome job and Ellie is just as beautiful as her mom. Erin, please find Josh's safety glasses and make him wear them!!! 🙃
It’s awesome how you teach Ellie and the boys industry and skills from a young age. Many young people of this generation could learn a thing or two…
See that it not only the lambs getting frisky in the spring with Elle talking of number 4 child 😅Must be the new brillcream haircut of Josh doin it 😅
A pair of dedicated , hard workers there!!
Mighty early for a Sunday afternoon guy.
Happy Memorial Day!
