Taking off the old roof was going to be fun, those darn packrats decided it was theirs as well, all the insulation in the roof had been packed down on the bottom and nothing left at the top.
So how to replace a roof? The first thing is to take the old one off. We ripped all the shingles off, tore off the plastic vapour barrier and pulled out all the old insulation.
Now we have possession of our new 10 acre off grid home and it’s time for some more cleanup, the old vehicles are removed so now we can get out and start knocking the grass and weeds down.
When I first asked myself “What is a weed eater, and which one should I be using?” I thought any trimmer would do the job. But after tackling tall grass on our new off-grid property, I quickly learned that not all weed eaters are created equal.
When we purchased our 10-acre off-grid property, we inherited a couple of dilapidated vehicles — one was even parked right in front of the main cabin! From the very beginning, I knew these old, abandoned cars were going to be the first to go.
