11. Our BIGGEST CHALLENGE (Building OFF GRID)

After much struggle we were only missing the last roof panel to complete the full metal structure of our new off grid building. This was the biggest challenge we have faced to date. Finishing this metal structure took us longer than expected and had to come up with a way to do it by ourselves, just the two of us. It was dangerous and scary for a moment. Also, in this video we go to pick up our Land Rover Defender which had to get the whole engine fixed after breaking down back in August. Thank you to all of you that donated to help us cover part of the mechanic bill, it has made this struggle much easier to overcome.

  2. Me encantó!!, terminada la estructura con imaginación para no sufrir tanto como en el anterior video. Me tenéis enganchado a vuestro proyecto y me encanta ver los avances en cada uno de vuestros videos.

  3. Pepe , por Dios hombre lo que hacen es muy difícil y peligroso. Tienen que verlo de el punto de vista en que lo hace rápido,fácil y sin peligro. Has lo varilla por varilla. No estás usando la cabeza hombre!

  4. Thanks safety first you have only one life, cool your Cat love your panels 😅👍take care i now from wat we talk here i just recovering from my 37 Surgery so pleace hafe fun but look for your safety first❤👍

  5. John 10:27-29

    King James Version

    27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

    28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

    29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

  6. Thank you both for the shout-out! 😁 The shop is looking really good! I am glad that you are getting the feel for using the come-along and ratchets. They will become your best friends on your projects. Plus, most importantly it will keep you from breaking Eugeina and keep you both safe! Lolita is a really good job site kitty!!!!😻😻

  7. Madre de dios Eugenia! Espero que el resto de la construccion sea menos traumatizante. Pepe, la solución fue perfecta. Ahora pensar como es posible adaptar de manera igual a la construcción de la casa grande. Eugenia, yo hubiera soltado unas palabrotas peores en esa situacion. Saludos y un buen descanso antes de seguir por favor.

  8. Very hard work!
    I think (for the future) that three connection bars (one on the edge and one by side at half the length of the roof) should help to pull and avoid to fall the frame.
    Great job, but stay safe! 🥰

  9. Siete bravissimi e avete una grande forza di volontà, ma siete un disastro dal punto di vista organizzativo, avete messo a rischio la vostra incolumità, non avete previsto alcuna forma di messa in sicurezza del pezzo facendo affidamento soltanto sulla vostra forza fisica e capacità di resistenza, sarebbe potuto accadere il peggio. Quando si ha a che fare con pezzi molto pesanti è bene SEMPRE legarli e creare un contrappeso dalla parte opposta, inoltre è bene creare sui lati una sorta di binario di contenimento in modo tale da controllare le eventuali fuoriuscite del pezzo durante il sollevamento, non ci vuole molto, vi avrebbe occupato 30/60 minuti in più del vostro tempo, ma non vi sareste ammazzati di fatica con il rischio di farvi seriamente del male. Vi auguro tutto il bene possibile, ma state attenti. Un abbraccio, Stefano – Roma – Italy.

  10. You guys are clever but for the life of me why didn't you use ropes , up and over … frustrating… or put your middle roof piece in and one x – beam at a time…then connect lower beam … NOW .. YOU NEED TO PUT SOLAR PANELS ON WORKSHOP ROOF.. yeah I come back and finally … after 1st one , it's to heavy for Eugenie … x

  11. Pepe ella no tiene la fuerza tuya y nunca olvides que ella es Mujer……..Somos inteligentes y tenemos muy buenas ideas pero fuerza bruta no tenemos…y tu te haces la idea que ella estaba jugando y te estaba diciendo que no podia y yo pense que se iba a caer enredada en la estructura…Pepe tu acento es de Espana pero Eugenia no logro desifrar…Sigan que van bien…

  12. Me gusta su fabricacion y me gusta cuando ponen suptitulos en Espanol o como hoy que estubieron hablanso los dos en Espanol…Los sigo desde el primer dia…Sigan que me gusta…

  13. Hombreeeeee of course!!! Antique technology… Cuerdas y poleas.. Asi se construyeron las piramides.. Ha quedado genial, looks amazing!!! Congrats… Que no me has dado nada de credito ehh.. Jajaja

  14. Ya veníamos fascinados por sus paisajes y sus construcciones, sus comidas🥣 pero ahora se van sumando sus ediciones de video!
    Las dificultades: solo sirvieron para atravesarlas con una muy buena idea😃
    Excelente equipo y Eugenia muy persistente como siempre!!!
    Por más logros juntos!!!🤩🤛👏👏
