Slow and steady... Not really coming out how I planned but we'll see what happens once the trail going around the pond is completed. ;o)

Adding the zen-garden and trail around the pond (more to come)...
Nephews tested out the solar and facilities (so far so good)
01-05-2022 8:52:27 PM CST Happy New Year!!! Lord willing 2022 will bring some real blessings and further advancements into being more holistically off-grid and "awake"!!! ;o)
11-03-2021 8:56:57 PM CST Slowly but surely!!! It is odd that I've basically touched, nailed, painted every board/drywall in here. Again it wasn't perfect as I am NO carpenter but if I can think how much more you could do? Roughly $35k (off grid) but probably could have done it for $25k if I would have cut a few corners. We'll see what happens next but the fireplace/stove I will outsource as I am simply not qualified (and don't want a leaky roof) ;o)

Floors are now complete! On to finishing the root-cellar, tower, and start the inside work (electrical (solar), walls, framing, etc.). woo-woo! ;o)

Robert helping to get the root-cellar in the side of the hill. *Hopefully it will dry-out enough over the next couple of weeks to get the cement flooring completed so we can start on the inside. **Rain has delayed the garden but again working out the kinks. ;o) Too much to mow right now but bought a refurbished riding mower from my nephew for $120 so we'll see how that goes. :o)
Firepit and composting bin (phase 1) up and running! Hopefully will do a longer test run this month on teaching via PowerPoint via solar (will post on YouTube if all goes well as we are testing a multiplicity of things to see what works (and what doesn't). ;o)~ Lord willing many more updates on the next post. The excessive rain has definitely slowed us down a bit but all in God's good timing.
