#DIY #offgrid #house #build #homestead
Hey, Y'all! We are Justin and Lil, plus four kids and one on the way. Just over a year ago, we moved our RV to 18 acres of raw land, built a solar power system, and now we are DIY building our Off-Grid house together as a family. In this video, we race against the rain while tying up loose ends and taping the zip sheathing and flashing tape. Then we take a quick break from the build to rescue a beautiful peach tree, which we hope will provide for generations to come!
Once taped up, the zip sheathing seams must be rolled tightly with the Zip sheathing tape roller until little Zs appear in the tape to ensure proper adhesion and a weather tight seal.
This means Justin is up and down the ladder hundreds of times in one day. Zip sheathing taping day definitely counts as leg day, "which Justin never skips, cough."
We almost finished taping, but we took a quick break from the off grid house build to rescue a 4 year old peach tree. Some friends are moving across the country, and they committed the unforgiveable offense of planting a tree in the ground in their backyard on post. Living on a military base is like living under the most draconian HOA, so they were given a choice to cut the tree down or dig it out. The peach tree was incredibly fruitful last year, so they offered it to us, and we decided to bring Peachy to Wild Berry Woods Homestead.
It's the worst time of year to Transplant, and it took many hours to dig up the 10 foot tall tree, but we are praying that it will survive the move. We hope to have grandchildren and great-grandchildren leaving peach pits all over the land. We don't normally plan to take time away from the house build, but we think this investment will be totally worth our while! After all, our dream is to build a multigenerstional, self-sufficient Off-Grid homestead!
