    Really built for the long haul! Bullet proof. Doesn't matter that you do the build the way you feel you should...it's your house. I'm enjoying it all 👏🏻

    Always thinking carefully through each project, no corners cut or necessary steps skipped. That’s what I love about your channel!😍🇨🇦

    The hardest working off grid couple i know, all thing precisely done. love watching the progress each week. i have been following you since you first arrival on you property. God Bless you both and you lovely children.

    The root cellar should be nice and dry with the sloping concrete, Grace Ice and Water Shield. the black tar and 'French drain'. You mentioned the complete waterproofing process may be overkill but having a nice dry root cellar is worth all of your efforts. Continued blessings to all of you.

    You know... Andrew Camarata has a HUGE industrial sized rock crusher - strangely mesmerizing to watch, and I confess that YOUR little rock crusher looks like it does a GREAT job. And... I bet that it too is strangely mesmerizing to watch. I'm quite impressed. Sure... it takes a LONG time to get the gravel you want, but nothing can really beat the price. I'm always surprised how inexpensive gravel is per ton... it's the delivery fees that can get steep. I put a parking pad in back of my house and I'm pretty close to downtown. The gravel was under $100 for a couple tons... but the delivery fee was almost twice that, and the driver STILL couldn't get it where I wanted due to some old wires attached to my house (that the phone company has refused to remove... lol) So I ended up moving 2 tons of gravel from where it was dumped into the parking pad. Anyway, thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

    I love overkill on building. ❤ You have some good helpers there Jacob. I really liked the one in shorts.

    ARIZONA Waterproof ROOT CELLAR. Didn't think that would be a problem.....honestly. It's so small, thought it was a septic tank.

  • @johnbellrose9165

    You really thought thru the sealant and drainage. As always you are being very thorough

  • @loucinci3922

    Nice job. Looks great.The Ice & Water is a nice touch. Should do well. So cool you can make your own gravel now. Happy you took my advice - LOL.

  • @Codger2015

    Good job despite the circumstances. I would think it a good idea to flash above your pipes using the ice and water shield membrane to give those penetrations extra protection.

  • @kisandracolon2331

    My recommendation is that you add gravel around it but do not bury it for any unforeseen event you will have access to add and remove

  • @kcarrot2002

    I know I brag all the time about what a wonderful job you guys do on everything but it is so true!

  • @SamSeabee1

    AWESOME WORK YOU 2 AND THE KIDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kathybrunson2390

    As usual great work you guys! Every week is another step closer!

  • @ronkort8927

    Great minds think alike. I was about to comment about putting ice and water shield on, and you go and bring it into the video. Another great job!
