The Do It Yourself World
Join us and follow along as we strive to become fully self sufficient and off the grid on our 18 acre homestead in the woods. My wife Melanie, our daughter Michelle, and I moved in the spring of 2017 to our new homestead in Northern lower Michigan.
We are surrounded by wild State forest land teaming with wildlife. For many, this is vacation paradise. For us, this is home. There are very few full time people around, which ads to the wildness and the beauty of the area. This also leaves us pretty much alone in the quiet and peaceful forest.
We are raising chickens for meat, eggs and for some extra money to help pay the bills. We grow our own food to help offset the cost of groceries. We hunt and fish for meat as needed and to stock up for the harsh winter months.
We hope to become more and more independent of the grocery stores with time and eventually become fully self sufficient.
We are putting up solar panels and battery backup systems to power our meager needs in our off grid tiny house. We use primarily wood heat to keep us warm in the cold winter months.

Daily Vlog Fence Work Polishing Stones And Michelles Birthday
It has been raining more than not but I did get the cane bolts on the gates and worked on some rock polishing a bit. Michelle had her home birthday party and we brought the camera along so you can enjoy the time with us.
We have had rain for the better part of 6 days now so work outside is slow especially considering it is colder out now. I have been moving my websites during the rainy times because it must be done before the end of the month anyway.
I got the cane bolts on our homestead driveway gates. These will help keep the gates stable in high winds and also slow down intruders even more. I also have three barricade boards on the gates for extra strength.
My rocks that were being polished are finished but I am not at all pleased with the results. They are not shiny at all. So I put them in some coconut coir with some soap to break up the water and put them back on the tumbler for a while. I hope they shine up nicely.
Michelle is 4 years old now and we had a small at home birthday party for her. Melanie made the cake and everything.
