A Tour of Our Off-Grid Homestead - From Trailer Life to Our Dream Home

🏡We lived in a trailer for 5 years, saving up to buy land and build our dream home on it.

🌱We have been slowly building our off-grid homestead on 40 acres of raw land for the past 2.5 years.

🔥Our house is made of hand-stacked blocks, and our main heat source during winter was a wood stove.

🌿We are experimenting with indoor gardening using south-facing windows, with plans to add a greenhouse in the future.

💻We have set up a dedicated office space and editing station for our work, including recording an audiobook.
