Off the grid

So it's been a while. A long while. In fact, crazy amounts have changed for us! 

In May, we sold our house. And we bought a travel trailer. Then moved into my in laws front yard. 

It was kind of crazy. I love my inlaws and they love us but that was just too close. So we moved out back and decided to build a small cabin to live in. 

We are still building. We just put the woodstove and chimney in last night. When it was -15. We are sooooo close! 
Technically, right now we are off the grid. We have to subdivide and drill a well. We live off a generator, have an out house, and I pack jugs of water from my inlaws. It's been a learning experience. 

But we are excited to be out of the trailer!!! Travel trailers are not built for -10 living. We have a expensive time keeping it warm and have crazy ice buildup. We have a nice travel trailer but Stetson has no space to run and there is no place to put anything. 

That's mostly us right now! I can't believe it's already the middle of November! Christmas is in a month! 😁😁😁
