Deciding that our dreams weren't just for some unknown distant date in the future, we loaded up our (then) 4 girls in a camper and took the trip of a lifetime.
After 108 days of driving 22K+ miles and 48 states, we've settled down in the beautiful Southern Appalachia! Our land was once a thriving homestead and there are signs and hidden treasures everywhere, however it is in disrepair and needs a lot of love, luckily that's just what we're here for!
We're living in converted sheds for now and the plan is to keep it simple and cozy and once we're a bit more established on our homestead we will begin building our home in the mountains!
Come along with us as we build our homestead and trust what God has planned for us. It will be bumpy and we promise to make lots of mistakes, but together is where we want to be and we're doing just that!
Many thanks for the video. Is that green Douglas Fir you are using, or something else? And 4x4s at the end corners, as well as elsewhere along the railings?
Looks dang good brother!!! I am getting ready to do the hog panel fence for my half acre in my back yard. Love how you sandwiched the 2x4 cut in half on the ends and Dado the tops and bottoms gonna copy your work.
Great looking barn, love the monitor style. We are dreaming up ideas for our own, any changes you would make to accommodate sheep other than more secure carrels. - Alberta, Canada
Nice work. So cute with your little girl. Just a word from a worker with longer hair, keep a ponytail band on your drill for when the little one helps 👌
Prepare a greenhouse with raised beds and you can grow all types of pumpkin tomatoes and keep the temperature stable and the potatoes in a cloth bag and the sweet potatoes are harvested healthier and better and you do not have
You can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in cloth bags, they reproduce better and are easier to maintain, and when they are ready in time, you open the bag and collect the harvest and reuse
Guys, I know this is late but never ever trust a cow with a newborn calf, they are so protective no matter how quiet they seem to be, it is so so dangerous around them, with dogs or little kids, way more people get injured from cow attacks than bull attacks
Great job! We had our house built back in 2015-16 and did some of the work ourselves. I built cattle panel rails for our deck railing and we all love the result. My method was very close to yours, although we had sided pillars that the framer had put on our deck so I built the panels between the pillars, instead of normal posts.
it may be too hard to do now that you have finished it, but I drilled weep holes in the bottom of each panel to keep water from getting in that groove and sitting. I thought this was a great video.
