6 Months Off-Grid: Everything We’ve Done So Far [Remastered]

Video Description

It’s been 6 months since we got the keys (well, a random key) to our overgrown barn — and what a journey it’s been. We started with weeds about as tall as us, no power, no water, and no clue how to build anything — and somehow ended up with two fully built, waterproof sheds, a borehole, and a lot more knowledge (and mud) than we bargained for. In this video, we look back at everything we’ve done in our first 6 months living on the land — from concrete chaos and dry stone walls to power shed problems, roofing in a hailstorm, and building a door we’re still really proud of. Whether you’re planning your own off-grid life, love a good barn-to-home conversion, or just want to see what’s possible with stubbornness, YouTube tutorials, and a strimmer from Facebook Marketplace — this one’s for you.
