Where we LIVE while building our OFF GRID home

WANT TO HELP SUPPORT OUR CHANNEL?
/ lifeuncontained
We have finished making the one side of the barn into a sealed solar closet and are now working on harnessing the power of the sun! We hope to have solar power very soon. We can’t wait to have a shipping container home, workshop, and farm that are all completely powered by the sun. Also, you get to see where we will be living during the entire building process of our off grid home. The space we are living in is giving us a taste of what it would be like to live tiny.

    When I first bought my farm in Oklahoma I stayed in an old oil tank that the bottom had rusted out of. I cut a hole in the side and put gravel down then a cot to sleep on. I stayed there for about 6 months till I got the trailer moved in and the sewer hooked up. I took a shower in Hell Roaring Creek that ran through my property and had about a 4 foot water fall.

I can totally relate. I need the sensible hubs to keep me grounded but I also need my silly, happy go lucky self to break that up sometimes. Being goofy is LIFE! XD It makes for great complementary lives with one another. ;)

We’re old & tired & wishing we would have channeled that energy & money into an off-grid home-stead. 😂 If you guys can get through this w/your marriage in tact y’all will be just fine. I think that’s evident by now. Btw: our youngest was in a play pen 6 weeks after my c-section during the construction of our 1st home while I worked. He’s 23 yrs old now. I painted the entire 2nd home myself(we built 4). This surely brings bk memories. Hard work no doubt but very rewarding. Good luck on the remainder of work & we look forward to seeing the finished product. Great job!
