We had a 6 year plan. We bought our land, we'd slowly start working on it and by the time Bob retired in 6 years we'd be ready to build. The timing changed when Bob was offered early retirement - and took it - no looking back! This worked out great for us in terms of time & money. We really want to move from our current home and live mortgage free with lower taxes. The plan now is to start building as soon as possible. We've got the house plan drawn, priced logs, have decided where we want the house on the lot and have started clearing the land. This blog will be a chronicle of our homesteading. From the first walks around our property to move in date, we hope to capture it all here in words, photos, & video. Friends & family keep tuned in - you may all be called on for expertise, a strong back, or maybe just to join us on the porch for a cup of coffee!

Off to a good start in 2016

Work on the cabin has finally started moving steadily once again. We're installing the heating system (forced hot air pellet furnace) and plumbing. We had to purchase our tub and shower units for the bathrooms to make sure we get the plumbing right. Since the house is on a slab it's a bit more difficult than if we had a basement. Laying the floor as we go. Bob's also creating some beams to use inside the house.
