But I thought since we are embarking on the crazy adventure of building an off-grid homestead next year I should start documenting our journey. We planned to list and sell our house and move up to our new property near Combermere this summer, but I finally accepted, at around 34 weeks pregnant, that it would just be too much to do that and build an house with a newborn. Everyone else had already assumed I'd come to that conclusion, but I stubbornly held on to that plan for a long time.
So this summer is being spent adjusting to being a family of four, growing a bunch of brassicas and squash, tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs, swimming, renovating the house, raising meat chickens and pigs and continuing to plan our future homestead with the goal of being ready to list our house late winter/early spring of next year and building our tiny house in a few weeks next summer.
