BUILDING an OFF GRID SURVIVAL HOUSE to pay for itself.

What happens here

The presenter discusses renovation plans for the master bedroom, including replacing two windows with an 8-foot window for lake views. He plans to install a second wood-burning stove in this area to distribute heat effectively throughout the long home. In the master bathroom, he will convert the existing small shower into a closet and the corner tub (which currently holds rust-colored well water) into a large, spacious shower. The utility closet, containing an electric water heater and pressure tank, will be repurposed for storage.

Goal: Enhance comfort, functionality, and storage in personal and utility spaces.

let's get right back into my property up north now to heat this home it's a really long home i think it's 72 feet long that heat isn't going to travel and i'm anticipating what's going to happen if i have zero electricity how am i going to heat this and if a wood burning stove over there is not going to provide adequate heat throughout this entire structure so i'm going to put a second word wood burner in right over here this entire room is going to be remodeled and then this these two windows are going to be taken out right here and then i'm going to put in an eight foot window right there so as a rental property as an airbnb somebody can come up here they can lay in the bed or the bed can go here i don't know where look out and see the lake right from the master bedroom they can build themselves a little romantic fireplace heat this up and we're not dependent on propane but from a survivalist standpoint if i'm cold i can i got a furnace going here i got a fireplace going here and i got another one going in the other part of the house i'm gonna have two different sources of heat so that i can get better heat distribution now in here we've got i don't know this is we've got a lot of water stain problems so don't just ignore the tub that's actual what our water looks like it's really rough and speaking of water one of the things that's probably going to be addresses how are you going to get water to this place if there's no electricity we're going to put in a hand pump well now we are we do have a solid well we got a cast iron or we've got a poured well uh so we've got a good well on the property we don't have the water filtration system set up but that well that's on this property depends on electricity again and i'm going to be going completely self-sufficient with this so i'm going to put in a hand pump well so that means worst case scenario if i don't have electricity i can hand pump a well and i can get water again and i can also go right down to the lake and get all of the water i need i've been i've lived on this lake my entire life i've drank that lake water my entire life some of you are like yeah you probably ate lead paint too but you know it is what it is i haven't figured out what i'm going to do with this bathroom yet but i'm just going to show you the before and then as we go through this we're going to be redesigning this to make it a little bit more user friendly people don't use tubs like this i don't know i've never used that tub not…
