The Kirsten Dirksen YouTube channel is a gold mine of content for #citadel design and construction ideas and inspiration. It's been very helpful in getting my wife to understand that earth sheltered doesn't need to mean "cave" and the creativity such dwellings allow take home design to new levels that are impossible in conventional home construction.

Used to watch her stuff, good call on using it as a tool to convert the wife. I have found my youtube consumption is dramatically decreased since buying the farm, but maybe I should get her channel back on the tv

Our usage is seasonal and rainy day stuff, but we've noticed the same. Farm life can be demanding.

Lately I've been on the chain saw heavy, cleaning up the 100+ trees I felled in September right before I broke my back. It'd be fun if it wasn't 100% Osage orange and honey locust

Man I know what you're going through. I've been working on installing 4k feet of perimeter fence. Having to cleanup decades of tree and brush growth. Haven't broke my back but I've been stuck in bed at times because of it. It's been about 5 years of gradually getting closer to finished and it should be all done late spring I'm hoping.

Her stuff inspired me to do our alt build.

We're likely on the brink of a build ourselves. Ideally a self build.

Same.

Problem is, self build for me means, i do literally everything and it takes way longer than it should to complete.

Excellent suggestion. Great channel.
