Just a little blog to try and communicate what we are accomplishing here, and also what we are trying to accomplish. Not much, just a self-sustained life full of peace and love and all that other "hippy" nonsense. What we are looking for really, is just a better Happier world for our kids. Don't you want the same? We've been at this for a few months, so some of this will be catch-up, don't get bored or bitchy, just try and keep up. Peace and Love Y'all

A walkthrough of the cabin so far

This is going to be the front door.

This room is the bathroom, we are putting more bottles in the walls on the next round. 




This is the living room and it leads into the greenhouse. 
That stove is a 1892 Caboose Stove someone gave to us. We wrapped earth around it like the walls to hold the heat in. Like a mass heater. It actually works really well. Even with no roof.

So this is my bedroom, When I saw this picture I thought wow the window looks crooked, so i walked out there to look at it and was like, wow the dam window is crooked. Crap.

This little doorway goes from my bedroom into what we are calling our utility room. This is the room our batteries and water tank are in, so they don't freeze. Can I just say what a pain in the ass it is to build a room with no guide on the walls around a water tank and batteries. 

Thats it so far on the cabin. We are going to probably have to take a break on it today because we woke up to this...



This was 6 AM
It wasn't supposed to snow this much yet. I guess we will just have to work through it again. 
Fun....Not...

Cabin is going up fast now...

So we have had a busy couple of weeks. We finally got some dirt brought out and a huge load of trees, for firewood and building. It is mostly White Fir Pine, it smells so yummy. It reminds me of Christmas and the whole yard smells like it.
A friend of ours also gave a half of a deer, so that was a learning experience on how to cut up a deer. So I thought I would show our progress at this point. Tell me what you think.
Had to show a pic of Lala with Scarface, He is weighing in at about 85 pounds.


We finally have windows in the walls. Love the Habit store. Need more windows though


Austin was learning to cut the deer. I think he actually enjoyed it.
