The Teeny Tiny Homestead

Continuing with my frugal 10' x 6' cargo trailer build, I finish up the problematic front wall, and begin on the ceiling, at long last! :) You can support the channel here by hitting the Follow and Like button or you can donate here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhomestead Take care, see you in the next one...

As the saga continues with the cargo trailer build (part two), I discover a list of problems behind one of the walls! What a mess... Have you completed a cargo trailer conversion or build recently??? If so, please share your experience below!

When I first acquired this cargo trailer 13 years ago I never thought I would use it for anything else other than storage in my side yard. I thought this would be a fairly straightforward upgrade for a recreational trailer build...throw on some insulation and it's done kind-of-thing. Nope! When I found out it's highly recommended to insulate the sub-floor (the underbelly), that's when I knew this was turning into a much bigger project. Looking back, the one thing I would do differently is remove all the old caulking FIRST, then the panels, instead of trying to save myself time and money by working around it, which caused the opposite to occur. Live and Learn! So, as I start on the other trailer wall, things are moving along much smoother. Stick around for the rest of my rustic cargo trailer build, coming soon. :) Check out part two here>><https://rumble.com/v28h7ed-cargo-trailer-build-part-two-.html?mref=17a6sj&mc=9jg28 Take care, see you in the next one... **Support the channel** : You can either support me here by hitting the Like, Follow and Share buttons, or you can donate here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhomestead Thank you for your patronage. :) **Contact me** : info@mikaskyephotography.com

Peace of mind...that's what many of us are after these days. One way to begin feeling that way is putting up bulk food for long-term storage. Whether its dry canning, dehydrating or vacuum sealing, they all provide peace of mind at the end of the day for you and your family. :) I really enjoy buying from Azure Standard, which delivers your food order to a designated drop-site each month in your nearest town or city. I highly recommend it. They sell everything from a large selection of flours and grains, to pet food, to gardening supplies, and everything in between. https://www.azurestandard.com Take care, see you in the next one...

Caterpillars, fertilizer and sweet potatoes, oh my! Join me briefly in the garden (and kitchen) as I tinker with my very FIRST sweet potato slips, ever. :) They took quite awhile to break through the surface of the soil, but about 50% are up and developing greens. Check out my complete garden update here: https://rumble.com/v1i1z6j-garden-update-august-2022.html What's YOUR experience with planting sweet potatoes, slips or otherwise??

As much as I would LOVE to own a full-sized RV or pop-up trailer, this works for now with the space I have. Going into this project, I only had a vague idea of what I wanted the outcome to be; so much of what I did was off the cuff. The expenses consisted of the 1" RMAX foam board x 4 ($127) and the 25' roll of Reflectix ($45) from Home Depot. While the Fuze-It adhesive tubes x 2 ($30), the tan Liquid Nails adhesive tubes x 2 ($16), and the fiberglass kit ($20) were purchased from Amazon, links below. More than I wanted to spend overall, but still a LOT cheaper than buying an RV trailer. ;) Have you ever completed a truck build? Share your experience in the comments below.

After 3 weeks of troubleshooting and ordering parts, I have successfully completed the leaking #garden spigot project in the side yard! It feels great to have tackled this without hiring someone, and I have acquired new skills to add to the homestead. It's a win-win in my book. :) Take a peek at Part One here : https://odysee.com/@theteenytinyhomestead:3/Changing-Old-Spigot-Stem:0?r=67SqJGNFyVe3TTrAxthmfa73XuqX9H8s Share your best or worst DIY experience below in the comments!

DIY projects can be great sometimes, it allows us to save some money, maybe learn a new skill, even feel self-efficient...but there are times when it can be a major challenge full of obstacles! And that includes local stores not supplying the parts you need ;) Well, those are the moments when you take a step back to gain a new perspective and start fresh. I had no intention of entering the crawl space to suss out the situation, but realized 'why not?' Worse case scenario I learn something new, right? :) Right! Nothing wrong with obtaining new knowledge, especially on the homestead. Share your best or worst DIY experience below in the comments!

As autumn approaches, many of us begin to have thoughts of soups, stews and broth, especially when they're homemade. In my humble opinion, they are THE best meals during the cooler months, as they all provide comfort, sustenance, and warmth. (Beef stew is by far my favorite, paired with a glass of red wine, but that's for another video.) **Before starting pressure canning in your area, be sure to check the user manual for processing times and which setting to use on the weighted gauge. *See how I used chicken broth in a recipe, in my pressure canning video: https://odysee.com/@theteenytinyhomestead:3/Beginner-Pressure-Canning-Chicken-Chili:a What's your favorite food during the colder months?

A garden tour of the homestead, ranging from medicinal herbs to veggies. Some were started from seed, and others from starter plants. You don't have to be a master gardener overnight, it's ok to buy starts and save some of your valuable time for other pressing homesteading tasks! *Azure Standard plant starts: https://www.azurestandard.com/shop/product/outdoor-garden/garden-plant-starts/ (available seasonally) *Medicinal Plants https://www.crimsonsage.com Drop any questions in the comments below.

Have you ever stumbled across something so simple, but yet it completely changed everything??

Watching Mother Nature has always been a favorite past time of mine, and seeing these little guys come into the world was no exception. I started the nursery in a 1-gallon jar w/ 'cheesecloth lid' about a month prior to hatching, placed it in my interior greenhouse that I use for my orchids (at about 70-75 degrees F.), kept the jar in the shade, and waited. Patiently. It was well worth it!

This was LONG overdue for me! Sometimes I just have to rip off the band-aid and do it. Assembly was so simple, honestly, and after I hand-washed everything in warm soapy water it only took about 10 minutes. Easy peazy. I love that it filters lead and fluoride, & it's a great off-grid option as well. :) If you are interested in owning a Pro One water filtration system for your homestead, apartment or RV, click the link below: https://amzn.to/3oaNi3a [As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no cost to you.] **Support the channel** : You can either support me here by hitting the Like and Follow buttons, or you can donate here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhomestead Thank you for your patronage. :) **Contact me** : info@mikaskyephotography.com >>Check out my other business here: https://www.mikaskyephotography.com

I prefer to purchase a lot of my food in bulk, which means there's some work involved with the storage process. There are many different ways to go about doing this, so in today's video I feature dry canning, vacuum sealing, and good ole fashioned jars on the shelf (for those items eaten regularly and don't last long). If you're not using Azure Standard yet, you should look into it and see if there's a drop location near you. ;) https://azurestandard.com Take care, see you in the next one! **Support the channel** : You can support the homestead by hitting the Follow and Like buttons, or you can donate here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhomestead Thank you for your patronage. :) **Contact me** : info@mikaskyephotography.com >>Check out my other business here: https://www.mikaskyephotography.com
