HomesteaderWife - Tales from Wolf Branch [05/10/2023 - The New Fella!]

I love reading about your homesteading. Your home will truly be your home when you move in it. Every board will have a story to tell, all the love and hard work that went into building it.

Just wanted to share a photo of the floor boards going down today. This is what we have already from a day and a half of my husband and I working together to cut boards, haul them out on our sled, and nail them down!

You know... looking at that pic where I can get a better size aspect, I have to wonder... Did y'all plan the structure with expansion later in mind? If you're "typical" homesteaders, you're gonna have 23 kids and need to add on some space to house everyone. For just the 2 of you, I'm sure that will be a comfortable "tiny house" space.

My third article has been uploaded at Mother Earth News and is available for anyone to read! Thank you to all of you who take the time to read these brief, bi-weekly blogs.

@Latestarter - We have some space cleared off on both sides where an expansion would be possible, yes. One day we will start a family (hopefully not 23- goodness gracious) and if room is needed, we can make that work out.

Just build a 2 story-you'll get around to using the 2nd story!

great articles HomesteaderWife. my sil wants to get a saw mill when he gets out here to live. I'm going to make sure he reads your blogs and watches the videos too. sounds like youall are making progress

 

[HomesteaderWife]

@goatgurl - Thank you so much! If he has any questions, send them our way. We would love to answer them, and give honest input and thoughts about our experiences with the sawmill. We are making pretty good progress- we nail down the last of the boards tomorrow for the floor then start cutting out boards to frame the wall with!

I am in awe! You and your dear husband make an excellent team. Our country needs more of the two of you and less of the current crop of whiny cry babies in the colleges and universities.

Do post lots of pictures of your progress and do keep us updated when you have a new article out. Please and thank you.

I recently mentioned we were bringing home a female rabbit after Christmas and have yet to post photos! So here is our new girl, Miss Attitude.

We also just brought home a male Muscovy duck (who my husband named Donald!) We are hoping to start breeding Muscovies in the future. I have to admit I am surprised- he is like a big, shy puppy!
