I hope you are all doing well as you read this and weathering this season of Covid-19 in a healthy way.
My business originally took a 40% hit and we had to dig deep to support our team, family, clients, and community… which also took 100% of my attention and I did not have the bandwidth to continue with the blogging since I’ve arrived back in Maine.
Fortunately, I feel as though my mind… my business, and my team are now entering into a new rhythm that will sustain us through this {Im so fortunate to say that}…
I am currently working on an application for a building permit. I intend to build a 600 sq ft off-the-grid house this year and document the journey on this website.
I have already done SO much!
I own a .69 acre plot of land and here is the list of things I have already installed and worked on:
- I installed a mailbox and I LOVE to get mail! {my address is 69 Middle Pond Road York Maine 03909}
- I have a 6×5 shack to store my belongings {which I’m going to fix up with new siding…I bought an old icehouse that my neighbor had}
- I have a well and I now have fresh water!!!
- I bought a 3 bay stainless steel sink to do my dishes and laundry
- I have hung a clothesline
- I have a washboard and a laundry wringer hand crank
- I have the cutest chicken coop and 3 chickens… I even put an addition on their house!
- I have 2 solar panels to power and outdoor office space
- I have an outdoor shower with an instant hot water heater powered by propane
- I started to make an outdoor kitchen for my 2 burner stove and small grill
- I bought a 13×13 Army tent that is shaped like an octagon so I can have guests camp out and also use it to store my gear. {Its super cool and Ill add pics when I set it up}
I have certainly been a busy bee and I’m LOVING living off the land. I’m SO excited to design the house and I’ll share my progress here…
~let the next adventure begin =)
