Welcome back! This week we finally got the trailer full of firewood again and got it unloaded in the woodshed. We got a start on building out permanent fire pie, more still yet to do. Also started cleaning up the boulder pile in the back yard and adding what we can to the rock wall down at the pond. Thanks for watching!

Welcome back! We didn't get much done this weekend due to the rain. We got some more firewood cut and split and worked on leveling some piled dirt for our future garage area, unfortunately that video didn’t stay recording for some reason. Short video weekend but hope to have more for you next week. Thanks for Watching!

Welcome back, This week we got the raised beds soil amended and started our plantings for the season. We also continued working on firewood for next season.

Welcome back, this week we got our new greenhouse unboxed and setup. We still plan on building a larger greenhouse in the future, but we wanted to get something inexpensive in place until then so we could get a longer growing season with some of our food.

Welcome back, This week we got our raised beds built in the greenhouse and got them mostly filled with dirt. The rest will be added to amend the current soil with what Jodi is picking up from town. We added some sawdust to our center walking path so not to be dealing with muddy dirt. Thanks for watching!

Not any new Projects this week. We continued working on getting our firewood put up early for the season.

This video was done a few weeks ago, so apologize for the delayed release. Jodi started some of her garden seeds to get a early start on them. Hopefully we will have a greenhouse to put them in by the time they are ready to be transplanted. Thanks for Watching!

Welcome back, this week we worked on grading the driveway to remove as much of the ruts from the spring thaw as possible. We installed a temporary window in the new bedroom in the addition to get some natural light in there until we can afford to purchase the final windows. Of course we are still cutting and splitting firewood for next season, which will be a huge relief to have it done early for the first time living here. Thanks for watching!

Welcome back, out apologies for the late video. We got a spring snow and am still working on firewood to keep us warm until we can stop burning wood for the season. Thanks for watching!

Welcome back, the pond is filling up with water. We got a little farther on the linen closet project. Also, you guessed it, more firewood. Thanks for watching and spending time with us and we will see you next week.

Welcome back, We apologize for the late video release, our daughter and grandson are up for the week, so we've had some family time. We got some work done on the linen closet. We had to take a break from that to get some mechanical repairs on Jodi's Jeep to fix the "death wobble" that Jeeps tend to have with worn out ball joints and tie rod ends. We Enjoyed some beautiful sunsets this week, shared the best one. Warmer weather is arriving, just can't wait for more warm weather. Thanks for watching and see you next week.

Welcome back, Mother nature can't decide between Spring and Winter. We are working on harvesting more firewood since the cold weather is hanging on enough that we burned through what we had stored up from the last firewood harvest. Thanks for watching!

Welcome back! This week we worked on starting to restock our firewood (since we were out). Got a week or two worth of firewood stocked. Got our bathtub and shower surround installed and working. We have some fine tuning to due but it is usable and yes we both took our turn in it that same night. Winter is starting to give way and our snow is melting with our day time highs in the 40's . Thanks for watching and we will see you next week.

Welcome back, we missed last weeks video as we were both under the weather and didn't get to work on any of the projects like we hoped. This week we took the weekend off as we have family visiting and chose to spend the time with them. I did want to share some thoughts from our experiences of living off grid so far and some of the pros and cons that I don't think everyone thinks of when they life the appeal of living off grid. Thanks for watching and we will see you next week.

Welcome back, we got cleaned up from the snow in the last video and now we are in the single to sub zero temperatures and now deciding it's time to get more work done on the floor insulation, that we just threw together the first winter here. Come along as we tear out the temporary insulation and put in the final install. This will hopefully start making our floor a little warmer than it's been.

Welcome back, this week we continued working on the floor insulation under the original part of the house. Not a lot of working space and time consuming. Hard to film with the limited lighting and space so bare with us as we work through this project. Thanks for watching and we will see you next week.

Welcome back, this was a short week of work with the Thanksgiving Holiday. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend with family and friends. This week we worked on getting the basement doors insulated and sealed up for the winter. We still have more insulating to do but this is the major heat loss area. We also got our Electrical ran to the basement for our lights and a couple outlets. We put up some canvas on the shed to try and keep some of the snow out of there this winter. Thanks for watching and we will see you next week.

Welcome back, this week we worked on finishing the exterior insulation and putting on insulation on the new bedroom walls. While I was doing that Jodi was decorating our Christmas tree. We didn't get as much as we wanted to with the extra hours I've had to put in at work. Thanks for watching and we will see you next week.

Welcome back, this week we worked on getting some of the house skirting up. We spent a good portion of our week working on cleaning up and organizing our outbuilding so that we could get more things in under cover for the winter and didn't film any of that work.
