it. 35 00:01:16,266 --> 00:01:18,467 We started off building a tiny house together, 36 00:01:18,467 --> 00:01:20,567 we lived in it for four years. 37 00:01:20,567 --> 00:01:22,066 Then, we built a tree house. 38 00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:24,433 A greenhouse, 39 00:01:25,567 --> 00:01:27,667 A lookout tower. 40 00:01:27,667 --> 00:01:32,467 And now, this cavern is gonna be the biggest build we've had yet. 41 00:01:32,533 --> 00:01:34,867 [April] So, we've got this pretty epic part of the property 42 00:01:34,867 --> 00:01:36,867 that has a huge rock face on it. 43 00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:39,066 We've never known exactly what to do on it. 44 00:01:39,133 --> 00:01:42,000 But this idea of a cavern build came to mind, 45 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,767 and it was the perfect spot. 46 00:01:43,834 --> 00:01:45,967 So, we're so excited to actually use it. 47 00:01:46,033 --> 00:01:47,667 - I'm April. -[Daniel] I'm Daniel. 48 00:01:47,667 --> 00:01:50,467 [April] And we are building a cavern in the beautiful North Georgia mountains. 49 00:01:53,166 --> 00:01:54,967 [birds chirping] 50 00:01:55,033 --> 00:01:56,667 [April] Our build is located in Ringgold, Georgia, 51 00:01:56,734 --> 00:01:58,834 which is just an hour and a half north of Atlanta. 52 00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:01,667 So, if we put the cavern in here, 53 00:02:01,667 --> 00:02:04,867 -then we have this whole view of the

00:02:10,667 The motivation for building out the cavern 57 00:02:10,667 --> 00:02:13,166 is really just to have a place of restoration 58 00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:14,767 to host family and friends, 59 00:02:14,767 --> 00:02:16,467 people that just seem to get away and escape. 60 00:02:16,467 --> 00:02:18,767 We are building an inn or a cavern, 61 00:02:18,767 --> 00:02:22,266 it's going to be covered in Earth and sod on the roof. 62 00:02:22,266 --> 00:02:23,667 As you approach the inside, 63 00:02:23,667 --> 00:02:26,667 there's an epic waterfall with a kitchenette to your left 64 00:02:26,667 --> 00:02:27,967 and a living area. 65 00:02:27,967 --> 00:02:30,867 And down the hall is a beautiful bedroom 66 00:02:30,867 --> 00:02:33,266 that really invites the nature to come indoors. 67 00:02:33,266 --> 00:02:35,166 It's got a huge round window 68 00:02:35,166 --> 00:02:39,266 and just down the hall from that is the bathroom with super large ceilings. 69 00:02:39,266 --> 00:02:40,767 As you come outside, 70 00:02:40,767 --> 00:02:42,967 there is a relaxing infrared sauna 71 00:02:42,967 --> 00:02:46,166 with a fire pit for perfect s'more enjoyment. 72 00:02:47,266 --> 00:02:49,467 The main reason to have this build off the grid 73 00:02:49,467 --> 00:02:53,100 is 'cause accessibility to electric and power is just really tough. 74 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:54,834 And so, it's gonna have to be. 75 00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:57,767 [Daniel] Our off grid features include 76 00:02:57,767 --> 00:02:59,567 solar for electricity, 77 00:02:59,567 --> 00:03:01,867 geothermal for heating and air, 78 00:03:01,934 --> 00:03:03,266 a septic system, 79 00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:05,033 and then, a well for water. 80 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,367 This cavern is gonna be 730 square feet, 81 00:03:09,433 --> 00:03:12,000 we're looking at around an $88,000 budget, 82 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,367 and the timeframe is about eight months. 83 00:03:14,367 --> 00:03:17,266 This is certainly gonna be our most challenging build yet. 84 00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:18,667 We're dealing with a lot of unknowns 85 00:03:18,734 --> 00:03:20,767 and a lot of things we've never dealt with before. 86 00:03:20,834 --> 00:03:22,767 So, we're gonna need a lot of manpower. 87 00:03:22,767 --> 00:03:25,567 [Daniel] Golly, we're gonna be getting in a lot of rock. 88 00:03:25,567 --> 00:03:26,867 -That's a good thing. -It's gonna be tricky. 89 00:03:26,934 --> 00:03:28,300 That's a good thing. 90 00:03:28,367 --> 00:03:30,000 [Daniel] A lot of the challenges that we're gonna be running into 91 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,266 is literally digging into a mountain 92 00:03:32,266 --> 00:03:33,867 to clear out for the build. 93 00:03:33,934 --> 00:03:36,266 So, we've got a lot of

00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,233 We're all set, man. 98 00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:50,667 [exhilarating instrumental music playing] 99 00:03:50,667 --> 00:03:53,100 [April] So, today is day one and we are clearing the land. 100 00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,867 And so, we get to get a clean slate 101 00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:56,867 of what we have to work with for this build. 102 00:03:56,934 --> 00:03:58,634 And it should be a fun day. 103 00:04:01,967 --> 00:04:03,266 [Daniel] We're really excited. 104 00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:07,266 We got Greg on the skid steer and Todd on the excavator. 105

been working, like, five minutes, 108 00:04:17,867 --> 00:04:20,367 so it will be really cool to see the end of the day progress 109 00:04:20,367 --> 00:04:24,166 and see this whole thing ready and primed for building. 110 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,467 [Daniel] So, in this build, we're gonna be trying to use 111 00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:30,567 as much from the actual build site as possible. 112

use them, we've got to take all of those up 115 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,166 because we need a lot for this build. 116 00:04:38,166 --> 00:04:40,266 We're excited to see what's under there. 117
