Today marks a real turning point in our off-grid tiny house build. Use our link betterhelp.com/newbys and get 10% off your first month of therapy. #paidpartner
We lay the veranda slab, begin the first electrical fix, and take a big step toward making this place feel like a permanent home. What started as an idea on our Zimbabwe homestead is slowly becoming real life — one decision, one build day, and one small milestone at a time.
Join us as we continue building our off-grid tiny house using traditional skills, local knowledge, and a lot of hands-on work. From concrete and wiring to planning the future roof design, this episode captures the real journey of creating a sustainable family homestead from the ground up.
We’re The Newbys — a family building an off-grid lifestyle between Europe and Africa while sharing the highs, challenges, and everyday moments along the way. If you love homesteading, tiny house builds, off-grid living, and family adventure, you’re in the right place.
