The Ark / Mini Mansion Project

It's been a hell of a journey, folks. But now, Kersaundra, Gwenny and I are getting nicely settled in to our new tiny home with all our appliances and gizmos and trinkets. This kicks off the next chapter in my life. 5 years of free rent means 5 years of saving and getting things handled to keep our lives in order, and keep us afloat in this coming sea of madness as society cracks and falls apart. The Ark is complete, and we're ready for anything. If you've enjoyed these videos and want to see more of how my life goes while streaming games, talking politics or exploring the Tongass on a hike, feel free to jump over to one of my other channels for free here on Rumble, or if you're really amazing and want to help support my growing streaming existence monetarily, join my Locals Community for $2/month and get access to my new Sunday Q&A livestream, and exclusive video showing all the epic homeowner chit I'm gonna have to do to keep this place afloat. Woodpile crafting, various DIY projects, mechanic DIY vids with Robert "The Bobert" Perdue if I can con him in to not being camera shy long enough to walk us through some stuff.. tire changes, oil changes, alternator replacements... He's got a project truck and I'm about to redo the radiator of the Chevy... tons of fun stuff y'all might enjoy. I'm still going to be uploading videos to Rumble. Y'all are muh Fam at this point. Closer than fam. I'm still going to be getting my game on and working with Movavi Video Suite to create one more big hoorah for the Ark channel, putting together a slideshow of clips from start to finish of the greatness. But, I'm also gonna be trying to grow my paid audience so I can at least pay for a larger internet bandwidth package and maybe, in time, get my streaming to pay for itself. It's 2022, gangstas. Get busy chasing the dream, or accept what someone else wants for 40+ hours a week. Locals Community: https://skags.locals.com/

A big update. Big progress has been made to make this place a home and get it ready for us.

Took longer than I wanted to make Y'all wait. But! Here's the first update/progress report from The Ark. Got on a tangent for a minute about stupid shit in politics, and concerns of big city living, but I'm getting all zen now with the emergency aid of a Phillip Morris COPD stick (Marlboro Red 100) and some fresh air. <_< Don't judge... you'd smoke too if you lost a hand and had people talking shit about you behind your back. That they're told by megacorps who don't know you, how and what you think. Clown World is stressful. I cope how I can.

Hell of a day! Loving it so far.

Catching up! 2022 has been Hella progress these last few weeks thanks to muh crew of badasses. Bobert, J, yall are epic. We'll get this shit done yet!

When you embrace the suck, and feed your fears to your shadow, your level of the "Fuck-its" allows you to propel yourself forward. If trained properly.

#HoG4LyFe Had to make something to put tracks on, so I thought I'd make a vid for the work I did on the baseboard. Keep in mind..... I had no effen clue what I was doing because I've only ever used Caulking to fill in around windowsills and chit. <_< Don't you judge me. Lol! That being said, other than my ruination of the paint job, it came out pretty good and it'll be easy to totally finish in the after-move, touch-up phase. That being said.... Go get you a copy of The Brave album by Tom Macdonald and Adam Calhoun. (spoiler alert) And others. Keep an eye out for a polished version of this vid once I can sit down at my PC and actually edit properly.

Making a strong push to finish this. We need our own space. Projects are dependant on being able to zen and focus on a self-propelled motivation toward a goal that will allow me to break the bonds of capitalist slavery and start charting my own course. My dad always said, "You'll never get rich working for someone else." Suppose I should take up that burden, and break from the paved road. To see what this life truly has to offer.

Catching up on tiny home shenanigans. Gonna go work on some stuff while waiting to hear from trucks.

So! Got the mold handled. Now to lay down plastic.

So, minor issue with a fan not working in the basement. But, here's how we handle that. Bleach + water, a spray canister, and a Robert. Tomorrow is laying down the plastic. Shall get a better camera angle as well. #HoG

A little late, but, we felt it was necessary to pause for the holidays and do the family and friends thing more for a few weeks. But! We're back at it now! Gutters installed Bathroom floor prepped Temperature above 40 Winning

Gonna be handling a few hours of needed prep work. Fire fuel and cleaning up the floor on the arctic porch. Shall detail our plans for the stairs later!

Done with that part! New vid tomorrow, check back!

Lights are about all in! Special Thanks to Auke Bay Electric for superb work!

Next I'm going to come in tomorrow and work on getting the walls trimmed in with their respective colors. Busy weeks ahead....

This was an insane amount of labor... but we did it!!!!!! Next, rolling dem walls! Happy Thanksgiving, btw.

Another HUGE milestone. No more mudding! No more gross mess and damp air!

Now for a little touch up tomorrow, and plastic, and we'll be able to texture, then primer. I gotta pick the downstairs colors....

Well, don't look like we're gonna hit the Thanksgiving move-in date, but we're getting damn close to starting flooring. Which is epic.

Getting the last of the upper staircase done, and then calling it a night. Zombies to be played.

Dewd. 3 buckets (5gal) of paint costs $587. No joke.

One more day of sanding and prepping for texture and this bad boy's gonna be ready to rawk! After texturing, it's painting and floors, then the electrical outlets get installed, light fixtures, yadda yadda. This has been a hell of an adventure.

Just knocking out some basic stuff today. Probably gonna hit it again after foodage just to button this taping shiz up. Anywho!

Well... not all, but the entire living room, staircase and hallway, bathroom...
