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 building our dream house (by hand), together as a family, completely off the grid and debt free (no mortgage).

In this video, we continue to work on the ceiling and roof of our off grid house build. The house is a pier and beam foundation, so our first floor is already five feet off the ground. The bedrooms are smaller than the living space, so Justin isn't sure how he's going to maneuver the long 2x8x16 joists into place. He first tries to hoist them up from the outside, but Lil prefers him alive, so he changes plans. Justin has a close call with one of the most dangerous spiders in the world, the brown widow, courtesy of Southeast Georgia. After taking care of the spider problem, it's time to get back to work.
He finds he is able to maneuver the joists into place by lifting them first in the master bedroom, where there is the most space, and sliding them to the opposite site of the house. Justin has to move all hundred of his ladders a hundred times a minute, navigating expertly around closets and hallways and walls.
That crisis averted. We move on to blocking. Lil mans, the miter saw and expertly cuts towers of blocking. She did an excellent job, and her accuracy in using the Dewalt Miter Saw is unmatched. This will hold the entire house together. If it were not for Lil's excellent sawing, the house would surely fall apart.
The boys continue to build random contraptions across the homestead, the animals are up to their usual shenanigans, and the thunderstorms roll in every afternoon to cool the sizzling 100° plus heat.
It's all in a day's work on the off grid Wild Berry Woods Homestead.
