If you've missed the last few episodes, we decided to buy a cabin, move into it and get comfortable for the winter. It has been a LONG 4 years of self building our home and it's time we start living again. Now that it's been a few weeks, this cozy cottage is exactly what our souls needed!

How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward.

    Ty here…I want to give a huge shout-out to Todd for bringing you all along for this. Truthfully, our intention was to take the next few weeks away from posting. If you caught the last few episodes, you know that life has been a season of change for us lately and change is something he's always struggled with. Every time he's on his phone lately I say "back in the comments, are ya?"😂...if you're reading this, you already know what the comment sections of our videos look like but I just want to thank you all for continually showing up and showing the love and support you do week after week. As much as it means to me, it's a reassuring voice for Todd that it is okay to not always have it all figured out. Showing up flaws and all is what it's all about. Love you all more than I can say...k, now I'm crying

    I heard something recently that really resonated with me. ‘You have survived 100% of the times that you thought you wouldn’t make it.’

    "If you don't have a Todd in your life, you need one." LOVE! Sooo sweet.
  • @debbiedennison
    Seeing the boys as puppies when you were starting out was so adorable!! And that packing system was amazing. Can’t imagine how hard this was, maybe more emotionally, but also physically. Those spaces look amazing, such great vision you both had.
  • @susanb4481
    Glad you are turning the short term rentals into long term rentals and thereby creating housing and not contributing to housing shortage. Some people will be very fortunate renters !
  • I'm not going to lie. I was afraid you'd given up on the channel. I'm glad to see that you're switching from AirBnB to long-term rental. I know you're still going to have to deal with a rental manager but with the housing shortages, it's a kind choice you've made. I hope shipping everything across country isn't like crazy-expensive. I hope that you're treating yourselves kindly. I know how hard it is dealing with those first few weeks after losing a grandparent. You're in my thoughts, Todd.
  • I think it is so admirable that you are creating rental homes for people to call home. You two not only have a strong work ethic, but also you feel ethically responsible to help others. Bravo!
  • Todd needs to see up an online organizing help site. Amazing organization skills. This was so wonderful to see.
  • Todd is not only a life-saver. He is also completely modest about it like: we each have our weak and strong points. A keeper.
  • @dhale4837
    Todd you are an organized dream. ❤
  • @patlockwood6207
    Okay, you made me cry. Are you happy? It is hard to leave a house that was also a home. I left a home that I lived in for 35 years. Raised 3 children there. I can't count all the pets buried in the soil. That was the hardest, leaving the dogs behind. Furniture and stuff is just that, stuff. The heart of your home is not the sofa, or a chair or a desk. It is the memories. And now you are making new ones.
  • I think everyone needs a Todd & Tyler in our lives. I just don’t know where you get your energy from! You two are like Duracell batteries.
  • Ten Years Ago?! Y'all were babies! And you look even more handsome today! 🤣🤩

To us, perfection is being honest, open, loving, and well you being Ty and Todd :) Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us. It is an honor sharing your journey!
  • @ritacollins2635
    T & T, don't do that! You scared us,thought you were leaving youtube, of course I watched,so relieved😢, moving forward to new things...❤
  • @selahrising
    As a fellow Canadian feeling the housing crisis I can’t say how much I appreciate you guys opening up long term housing! Well done ❤
  • Good grief; cleaning out 3 places completely. You must have been exhausted both mentally and physically, never mind emotionally! It’s difficult to close a chapter in your life, but think of the possibilities of your future!!! I thought I was an organized person. Todd you take it to the next level! You have both created such beautiful living spaces. The new tenants will have drop dead gorgeous places to live! If nothing, else, you should both be proud of that! ❤❤❤

  • @MafiaMamiii
    Honestly didn’t know you guys were property renters! (You prob told us in a Q&A, but honestly my attention span can’t make it through one 😭) I always wondered what you guys did outside of content creating to bring so much revenue. I love this tho! Long term properties are in high demand and you guys are doing the right thing and will help so much!
