  • We Were Afraid Something Like THIS Would Happen While Building Our House Off-Grid. We were set to make some serious progress on building our earthbag home when illness struck. These setbacks are a very real possibility when building your own home.

    We are Jim and Jessica, a husband and wife team who made the leap from city life to an off-grid homestead in Southern Arizona. We've started this lifestyle equipped only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination.
    We’d like to share our journey of starting a sustainable homestead from scratch with all its ups, downs, and lessons learned. Watch us take on the challenge of modern homesteading, off-grid life, and turning this barren piece of land into a desert oasis.

    Something is going around now and it knocks you out. Yes, when you're sick you can't build. Take care Jim. Take it slow, don't push yourself too much, you could have a relapse. My husband got tested too but he didn't have Covid but he was down for about a week. He couldn't breathe well, lots of coughing and phlegm. He feels better now. Winterized! Good luck that the propane heater does automatically kick on this year. That grasshopper is HUGE! We will get down to 30 this Thursday overnight. Getting more cob done. Thanks for this guys.
