NEXT PROJECT: building a roof over this 20' shipping container to support our off grid solar system, store tools, stack wood for our wood burning stove, and collect rainwater for our cabin.
Buying an excavator with NO EXPERIENCE was a gamble, but we felt it was the best way to make big progress here on our mountainous, heavily overgrown, and unmanaged hunting property. With another baby on the way, we've changed our plans & are building off grid cabin number 2. This cabin will be big enough for us to have live in for years to come, with beds for guests, solar, and a real septic tank (no more composting toilet).
ABOUT OUR CHANNEL Our channel is about our journey to building our ultimate homestead. We cover lots of cool stuff such as our off grid cabin build, our barndominium life back in North Carolina and all the wonderful people we meet along the way.
