It’s time to start working on the small log cabin if we are going to be able to have it done in time for snowmobiling out that way this winter.
So we begin, it’s time to collect firewood for the wood stove at home, so we start by cleaning up some of the dead trees that were in the way of the road way into the small log cabin or that may come down and finish off the cabin if we are not careful.
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.
Sept 2019 Update
Looking back on this post now 3 years later and it seems hard to believe that’s the little cabin we started out with. How things have changed, maybe not as quick as we wanted.
There were some hick ups along the way for sure, a wildfire and being evacuated from the property one whole summer and then work….darn work seems to get in the way sometimes, but here we were back then cleaning up the little cabin and now we are able to use it.
And so the project begins here is some of the progress we have made this far on our little cabin in the woods.
