Living a Sustainable Dream
United States
Приєднався 27 бер 2015
Years ago we decided we wanted to live a sustainable lifestyle and this became our dream. Now after several years, we are living the dream in a solar powered home. Here we are creating videos to explain our systems and how we live a 21st century lifestyle on an off grid homestead. To see more behind the scenes information please visit our blog at livingasustainabledream.com.

Movie Night Under the Stars! A short break from shop build.

A simple inexpensive way to celebrate an achievement is dinner and a movie. We started our marriage in poverty; two college students with student loans that equaled a house payment. We would rent a movie for 99 cents and have dinner, a movie, and an intermission to make popcorn. Don't worry; we paid off our student loans 15 years after we graduated college. Today, as we build our shop, we find ...

Thank you so much for the video. I'm planning a trip in August 2025. So just trying to get ideas about lodging. Your video helped. Thank you
Congratulations! Is this a value room?
Whoa!!! There's a way easier way to fix it, that doesn't involve tearing the bottom apart. All you had to do was undo the nut at the bottom, then use a screwdriver to release the strain relief holding the power cord. Once the cord and socket are loose, pull from the top and fix it. No reason to mangle that base
Sound is back June 5th 2024 in Detroit Michigan. I googled strange sounds like a constant Jet engine.
This sound happened tonight in my town in north Tx. The whole town heard it and this is exactly what it sounded like. Just before we heard it dogs started barking. Including our dog in the house. At 1st I thought it was thunder because we've been having storms daily here but it lasted too long. My husband went outside as the noise stopped. Everyone on Facebook is talking about it. It didn't last near this long. After it stopped it started again for a couple of seconds. It scared me.
Those things are in mint condition Searched this because I went to Sunriver a couple time from southern, California when I was a kid. 7 - 10yo They had an arcade there but I don't remember the name. Coming from the concrete jungle Sunriver was unbelievable. White water rafting, lava caves, paved winding bicycle paths, etal. I remember this volcano - is it black butte? (edit: it's lava butte") - but it was a cone of basalt lava rock, no vegitation. Weirdest thing I'd ever seen. You drive right next to it when you're going in Bend. The landscape and surroundings there are amazing. When I went (early 80's) Bend was a one-horse-town compared to now. We'd have to go there for supplies though. Anyway, thanks for your time and effort in creating and posting this video.
I came across this video while trying to identify a sound I heard today, May 6, 2024, between 8:30 AM and the current time as I write this comment at 9:51 AM. Although not as loud, the sound is unmistakably emanating from the sky. I took a walk around the block, and the sound remained constant, never shifting. It vaguely resembles the distant hum of a car on an open road or the roar of a jet in the sky, albeit lower, constant, and stationary. Despite the constant stream of passing planes and cars, the sound persists. I spend a lot of time outdoors, and this is unlike anything I've heard here before. While there are periodic cicadas emerging, this sound is distinctly different from that.
Just happened here inPuerto Rico at 11:00 am. Thought it was jets. But no, just the rumbling sounds. This video is exactly what I heard.
I bought but have yet to install a Kitchen Queen stove, so I have a few questions. Which model do you have? How does it heat your space (and how many sqft)? Have you ever had any problems with those angle fittings on your thermosiphon heater leaking? We bought a 750 and had a much bigger house in mind originally, now we'll have a much smaller cabin and I'm afraid it might be too big.
You have more space to work at the bottom of the fan instead the sides or top. It took me 3 mins to change it. Also, it is easier to work on the opposite side of the tractor. Thanks for your video!!
I have a 2022 CK4010se with 300 hours. The OEM belt is squealing at startup then goes away. Do I just need to tighten to tension to get the squeal to go away?
@BossSwanger Difficult to say without seeing it. You might need to tighten by adjusting the alternator. However, it could mean the belt is stretched and you may need a new belt.
Yes,there seem to be sounds from sky all over the world in different places.the Bible indicates about angels releasing the judgement of God.i heard yesterday also a shrieking loud sound in the village.i live in a village near Selcuk in Turkey.the sound lasted a few minutes then disappeared.
Never heard of J. Cash Penney but of course I still shop at our local J.C. Penney's store. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent! Do you know if that metal bracket that screws to the socket is sold separately?
I managed to stop worrying about this noise about eight or so years ago.Please don’t let me get caught up in this again.
I keep hearing this noise periodically over my house. Cloudy days is when I hear it most. It's not a plane cause it last too long. What is that?
ua-cam.com/video/e4tKzCYMG9k/v-deo.html
Yes, that is the sound of a natural gas pipeline venting to air as they depressurize it. Amazing these corporations can do this without notifying the public as they break laws on noise ordinances and leave the public in bewilderment on what is going on. When I 1st heard it, I thought of the jets flying off in the movie Greenland. Once I knew what it was, a gas pipeline, I was pretty upset by the panic the company caused without notifying anyone in the local area via newspaper or radio news updates.
so im not guessing as most are , THIS sound is a large sky craft that is CLOAKED . all sounds are non earth craft, this one if you ever were DIRECTLY UNDER IT as i was sounds like a 777 100 feet over your head . i heard it approaching, directly over me and listen to it travel to west SLOWLY , day time clear sky . in this case your near it but it is not passing directly over you . all sky sounds are craft . I say this because I KNOW THIS SOUND IS and they all stated the same time . the other sounds are just larger and higher many hide in clouds they CLOAKED as clouds . some are what you may call mother ships and sound like beast or trumpets . these are smaller and travel lower they may even be landing at full knowledge of g world governments. ALL WORLD GOVERNMENT KNOW < EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE WORLD IS SCRIPTED DISTRACTION .
@irsfraudexposed, This sound was a natural gas transfer station less than 5 miles from my home. The amateur radio community confirmed it as a trusted friend and radio operator saw and heard the natural gas transfer station pipe venting to air. It took a little sluething in the real world with with real people to discover it. The internet offers a lot of creative theories, but the local community had the answers through observation, deduction, and logging data surrounding the event. Nice guess though.
Hope Your Family is Doing Fantastic! I just subscribed. My wife and I are headed off grid this year... we will start off grid life in our RV under a 30'x40' Steel Building. I came to your channel to see how you set up your solar electric system. Thanks for posting!! We are located north of Reno, Nevada and looking forward to more of your videos!!
@rongray4118 Thanks Ron. We are in the snow season up here. So videos will be slow. I'll try and post soon. Check out our video tabs. We have quite a bit off grid videos to view and glean from.
❤@@LivingaSustainableDream Just keep "plowing" your way through it and Spring will get here for all of us just in time!! Blessings!!
That particular belt on my CK3510SE has always been useless. It continually stretches, requiring tightening again to keep the fan running (as well as alternator, ac, etc.). I ran out of adjustment area so now the belt needs to be replaced. The larger belt has the same issue, but not as bad. My Kioti only has 40 hours on it and both belts useless from the poor quality and stretching. I would never buy a belt from Kioti because of this issue. I think you made the right choice.
Thanks. I went through 2 belts and this last one has lasted since I posted the video.
After I replaced the Sher pins there is a load bang noise every time the blower is used how come ?
IDK, not enough info to diagnose. Many possibilities, pending how often the bang occurs, if the fan or auger is still moving? Has the gearbox oil been checked? It took me a day to figure out my key sheared.
We're you still able to throw snow, but it didn't throw very far? Or did the fan and/or augers not turn?
@karenschreck6788 We could not throw snow. Both auger and fan turned, but without the key, the fan would stop spinning when trying to move snow, and the bolt holding the fan on would begin to unthread.
There is a huge loud swirling sound in the sky sounds north of El Dorado,ar.71730 it's not jets it's not as loud now but it was so loud unknown like nothing I've ever heard are there any reports of anything
I did this on my beach cruiser...looks good 😊👍🏻
Did yall finish the shop?
Not yet. The trusses and the roof sheathing is up. I should post another video update. Just so busy lately.
Most folks might not realize it but years ago a person could make a good living/career working in retail stores like JC Penney. I worked for a store in my hometown in the1970's right after high school. Many of the floor workers and department managers had been with the company for years.
good work!

Congrats on the crane stage completion. Clever idea. Enjoyed your film clip humor. Best wishes on safe progress on this build. Hope that you're safe from wildfires.
Thank you for the kind comments. We are safe from the fires; smoke is terrible. We can't see the mountains around us. We are also being cautious on our property, not running chainsaws or driving off road to get firewood. Hoping for rain tonight.
Awesome job! My upcoming project is to paint a shipping container! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thank you!
I heard this exact noise/sound last week (August 2023) in Federal Heights, Adams Unincorporated, Colorado. As described in this video, it lasted an hour, and sounded like the rumble of jets flying over, and the sound became weaker as time passed. I disagree that it came from a pas pipe line purge.
Plumb.
Its a hypersonic military jet. It flies at 100,000 ft . It would be impossible to see,but the sound travels forever. The sound is heard all over the world with everyone cementing it sounds the same. Especially in the Uk,Ca,Tx, and eastern seaboard. It flies out of S4 area 51.
Truly, you are an amazing couple! It's looking very good.
Thank you.
❤
Nice job! Life is good. Will yall be putting on the roof also?
Yes, we ordered trusses. If we can sheath it early, the trusses may be worked in between larger orders and delivered early. The race is on before my work starts up again in late August early September. I am behind videos. The walls are all up as of yesterday.
great fun and celebration....Congrats!
Looks like a fun way to enjoy the night after lots of hard work!
Thank you.
heard it today in wichita kansas, 1pm and lasted for less then 2 minutes, why are the gas companies not easing our minds with a simple answer? I tend to find most common occurrences are not being explained for lack of awareness.. why cant everyone hear it?
clever crane design!
It's pretty sketchy. My wife and I pray everytime we use it. 1 more wall to raise and it's retired.
Way to GO!!
2 out of 4 - looking good !!!

Many Glacier Hotel is my favorite hotel in the park. However, I am too cheap to stay at the Many Glacier Hotel so we usually stay at the Swiftcurrent cabins which are much cheaper.
Thought about Swiftcurrent on the next visit. Would love to rent a cabin with a kitchen and cook my own meals to save money. Does Swiftcurrent offer kitchens in the cabins?
Very cool!
Awesome job!!! keep the videos coming on the shop build!
Thanks, I have a video of the 2nd wall coming. I will start construction on the 3rd wall tomorrow.
@@LivingaSustainableDream that's great, that shop is gonna be so nice. I've learned as I have gotten older, the ability to work on a project on flat concrete ground is so amazing.
Wow, great job! The shop is going to be amazing. Stay safe out there!
Thank you. Enjoy the summer. We are taking an evening off and running a projector on the shop pad to watch an old Audrey Hepburn movie. I love summer.
Good on you two - very good way to enjoy the 4th !! Looking forward to more on this project !
Thank you. The 2nd wall went up today.
I just bought a fan belt for a Kubota MX5000 from the Kubota dealership and the price for that belt, which is just like what is on it was $11.00. So, saying, i would trust the dealership as Amazon.
I bought mine from a fan belt wholesale dealer. Probably where the dealerships get theirs.
