We Hit A Big Speedbump This Week... // Building Our Off The Grid Home

Speedbumps. Hiccups. Delays.
Whatever you want to call it, we are living it this week, but we finally got things moving again and we are managing expectations going forward.
This week we got a little bit of prep work done for our basement walls and hopefully next week we'll be pouring concrete and getting started with the actual building projects!
---------------------Welcome to Our Maine Homestead!
We moved onto 200 + acres of raw land in northern Maine in September of 2018. We’re building our off-grid homestead, literally, from the ground up with our own four hands.
Our goals are to share our simple, self-sufficient, and sustainable lifestyle using traditional, old fashioned on purpose, and natural methods the same way our grandparents, great grandparents, and those who came before them did.
Along the way we hope to pass on the best parts of this lifestyle to our daughters and to all of you. We want to share the experience of how we live and the challenges we face as we build our dream homestead, raising animals, growing our own food, and working on the many projects required to live this lifestyle.
We’ll show you, not necessarily how to do things, but how we do things. We’ll also share video series that go deeper into specific aspects of our lives and what it’s like to live the way we do in the 21st century.
There’s a saying, “There’s a first time for everything.” Here, there’s a first time for EVERYTHING, because almost everything we’re doing here, we’re doing for the first time.
While our life is simple, it’s not always easier. It’s a lot of hard work, but we were raised knowing that nothing worthwhile comes easy and as you’ll see there are way more positives than negatives.

Way to adapt and overcome! No surprise, given your collective unwavering positivity, dedication, and perseverance as you strive to achieve your goal: Your "Forever Home!" It also helps to have Emery for a first-class supervisor. ❤ See you in a few weeks. I can't wait to see the progress in the coming weeks! 💪

We couldn't ask for a better supervisor! She's tough... but she gets the job done ;) Looking forward to having a beer with you soon! I finally finished the last Yuengling about a week ago!

Congrats on your progress. I'm going through a similar stack of events, but forward motion is good. I was working on the electrical when it was announced that I needed to get an indoor shower done. Keep up the positive attitude and motion! God Bless!

Always something right?! Good luck with everything!
