Still waiting…

Yesterday we submitted the last two documents that our building authority requested. Unfortunately the building inspector who is plan checking our project is not in the office until Friday but will look at it then. We are assuming that the final check is simply routine as both documents we submitted were sealed by professionals. Chris has already revved up the equipment and is ready to begin excavation as soon as the permit is in our hands…

For the next few days we will move on to projects we have had to set aside: building our chicken coop, preparing our skis for summer storage, gathering more tires…

Tonight the kids pick out their market lambs. Although they won’t get them until May, they will choose them now at about 2 weeks old (cute!).

Sandra and Chris

Welcome to our homesteading adventure in south central BC, Canada! In 2009 we started building an earthship in Darfield. We moved in three and a half years later. Now that the biggest jobs are finished we are having fun homesteading in a modern world. Join us for discussions about finishing the earthship, food preservation, beekeeping, livestock, permaculture and how we interact with technology. It's all about simple living and stewardship of the land without deprivation. Together with our three teenagers we're learning as we go.
