We are just two weeks away from purchasing our homestead. It will be an entirely new adventure for our family. We will be building our own home, planting our gardens, and raising livestock. We have learned a lot, but this is the first time we will be putting what we have learned into practice. The kids are super excited and I hope their excitement stays through the first couple of adjustment months, especially until the cabin gets built. We still have to get the inspection on the property, but we are hopeful that everything will work out.
We will have a one room cabin for shelter (besides tents) until the cabin gets delivered in May or June. We will be doing most everything outside, but at least we will have some shelter if we need it. We are going into the summer months so it is the best time to be in tents.
We are hoping the small cabin gets finished by the end of April. We need to have the sheetrock up and the floor painted to move in.
