Living Gridless

In this episode we are racing against the elements to get the houses livable before winter hits. Lots of things to get done before lock up stage.

In this episode we start building above ground. It's framing time!

In this episode we learn how to do cement floors and wow, that isn't easy! We also discover an issue or two with our excavator, Diggy. Hot, hard spring ahead.

In this episode we talk about starting another build project. This one is to give us more space for the winter. We also discuss some of the winter fun we had. Then the population goes up by 3 peoplecles (two cats and one dog). Stay tuned, here comes all the dog photos:)

We talk about finding the locations for the house builds, making the roads to them and the many, many house designs. We also talk about our experiments with rammed earth and starting our foundations.

Big move has a double meaning in this episode. We first talk about buying our excavator and bulldozer. We then share the crazy, and stressful, story of moving them to the property. Second, is the big move from the city and what went into that  decision for each of us. We took the big plunge and went head long into the wild. Jobs quit, moving van loaded and headed towards our gridless future.

In this episode we tell you a little about ourselves and about our  property located in South Central British Columbia. We talk about what we were looking for when buying the property and some of the first  things we did, including our first building projects.
