    You can truly call it a home and homestead built by you and your family

    Great job guys. Even though those foam panels are super light weight, I bet the last few felt really heavy. haha. That's a lot of work, but you guys did great!

  • @twx8626

    Nice progress, a point to think about... between a concrete exterior header and the basement. Concrete that sits on a foam board can break, preferably every 1.5-2 meters. Insert iron rods that penetrate the ground 50-80 cm. Bend and tie to an iron mat.

    It’s great seeing your family working together, you must be very proud of them. They seem to enjoy getting it done, with play mixed in too. Lovely to watch. I worry about standing outside in low scrubby areas when there is lightning around so stay safe. I was wondering if you should add a platform on the crusher for the kids to stand on so the had a more stable foothold. See you on the next.

    Enjoying your channel we are building in Kingman. I have to say this and please don't take it in any way except for personal experience. My husband has a rock crusher. There was a large rock trying to make its way down the shoot when the vibration from the crusher caused the ro k to fall off of the crusher. The rock hit him in the back of the head and pushed his face into the crusher, crushing the right side of his face he almost died three times and has had over 13 reconstructive surgeries. Please be aware of the dangers, especially around small children. We will continue to watch and support our AZ neighbors . Best wishes.❤

    Seeing you guys running around on an elevated location surrounded by metal rods buried in the ground while lightning is striking in the distance makes me ask: Jacob, will you be installing a rooftop lightning rod tied to a nice, deeply buried ground rod?

    • @aboulderlifeoffgrid
      @aboulderlifeoffgrid  Před 16 dny

      You know, I'm really not sure. I've looked into lightning protection/rods before and did not find enough evidence that it would be worth it. Or maybe I haven't looked in the right places for the right information.

    • @dionh70
      @dionh70 Před 15 dny

      @@aboulderlifeoffgrid My uncle, a retired master electrician, was also a certified lightning protection specialist and instructor at Salt Lake Community College in the 1980s. I read all of the instructional materials that his course required way back then, and the information has surely been updated since then.
      After getting out of the Navy, I was a TV tech (back in the 1990s when people actually fixed TVs) and there were several service calls per year to look at TVs in houses that had been struck by lightning in Salt Lake.
      You've already got a ground rod buried somewhere, and I imagine you'll add a second one right next to the house itself, so a run of bare 8ga solid copper up to the peak of the roof fastened to a sharpened 3ft vertical chunk of rebar bolted to an eave will probably suffice.
      Your location certainly offers a greater likelihood of catching a strike as a result of numerous factors, and your house will be the tallest object in probably several square miles. Please give it further consideration.

    • @aboulderlifeoffgrid
      @aboulderlifeoffgrid  Před 17 dny +1

      Didn't know that was a problem. Maybe something to do with a vapor barrier trapping moisture. Thanks 🙂

    First of all I love your videos and journey. Came across your channel searching for solar solutions. I just got hooked and have followed you ever since. One thing I’m curious about is your property and landscaping. Are you allowed to plant some tall trees if you want? Bring in different tree types. Just a curious question from a fan in Ireland. We have many trees types living side by side. Are there local rules?

    • @aboulderlifeoffgrid
      @aboulderlifeoffgrid  Před 16 dny +1

      There are no rules on what we can and can not plant here. We'll start planting things here and there once our well is drilled. Thanks for keeping up with us. 🙂
