Life on the Moose

@UCBFXDrG6CsDy8xdAS0QM5OQ - 53.6K subscribers

We're building a house in the country! Not just any house, it's our Modern Mountain Home we've been dreaming about for 20 years. We finally have the permit, and we are breaking ground! Although my background is in construction, and this channel is filled with building videos (cabins, sheds, studios, barn lofts) this is my first attempt at building a real house from scratch...mostly by myself. YIKES! Want to see a person struggle? You've found me! @LifeontheMoose is a channel about building our homestead on our land, called Red Moose Ranch, far away from the city we're trying to escape. With world-class mountain scenery as a backdrop, chances are you'll learn a lot, laugh a bit, and if I have it my way, you'll always be inspired. My name is Patrick; my wife is Karen...nice to meet you. Welcome to @LifeontheMoose! NOTE: I’m actively seeking quality sponsorships and partnerships at this time. Please DM me if you are interested.
