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!

Latest Milestones


We've had a lot going on and I've been neglecting this blog. I'll try to bring everyone up to speed now.
In June we had the well dug - 260 ft , 30 gallons a minute of good, clear water- Yeah!



Today Ed came over and dug the trench for the water line to the house and started the septic system. That should be complete by the end of the week. So we'll have the last 2 big ticket items done and a lot less money in the bank.
 


Bob had Ed remove this boulder from the driveway. About 6' on the high side.
