Full month one update: http://purelivingforlife.com/month-one-roundup/
We moved to a remote location in Idaho in September of 2015 and made a video of clips from our first month living on our land. This video is extra-special because people may think that when they buy land and develop an off grid property that they get to hit the ground running on day one raising chickens, buying solar panels, starting a garden, etc.
THIS COULDN’T BE FURTHER FROM REALITY!
During the first 4-5 weeks we’ve been running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to buy used tools off of Craigslist, keeping the dust down on our property so we can work, and making endless trips to dump our septic in our RV and fill up on water. These are all critical parts to starting a homestead.
We spent hours and days driving around picking up materials from Craigslist (we picked up our Stihl chainsaw from a guy at a biker bar late at night… random!), calling people, doing research to find out what materials we needed and what a decent price was, and ultimately saved A LOT of money by doing our homework. This was because we had time and wanted to us it rather than buying everything new. Not opposed to buying new but only when it makes sense.
In this short video you will see a hodgepodge of month one’s chaos. We loved every minute of it, but ultimately we are excited to get to the building portion of our journey.
The next four weeks we hope to: Get our septic system installed by a professional, get our solar security lights up, mill our own lumber (in the works!), build a deck for our off grid hot tub, build our off grid hot tub, and even begin construction on our barn.
