Today on our homestead, John comes up with a new plan to extend our tiny house build using salvaged materials and the natural rock around us. Check out the FAQ 202 LED Face Mask and FOREO’s Valentine’s Day sale here: https://foreo.se/XGvZG
Don’t forget to use our code TARANEW30 for an extra 30% off almost all products. The code is stackable on sale items, too!
Is this actually a good idea, or another one of his wild schemes?
We spend the day building a deck straight into solid rock, recycling old concrete beams, working on our tiny house office, and starting plans for a brand-new fruit orchard. It’s another busy day of off-grid homesteading, family life, and hands-on building in the African bush.
If you enjoy tiny house builds, off-grid living, and real family homestead life, you’re in the right place.
If you're able to help our friends in Portugal recover after the storms please follow these links, and thank you.
