    Homestead Blog Hop 349

    Published: Jul 14, 2021 · Modified: Jul 14, 2021 by Sarita Harbour · This post may contain affiliate links and Amazon links

    Well hello there on Wednesday, July 14, 2021!

    So it's time for another Homestead Blog Hop, with all the latest homesteading, homeschooling, self-reliance and green living posts from around the net.

    And if you missed last week's hop, don't worry. You'll find it right here! Homestead Blog Hop 348.

    What's New at An Off Grid Life This Week

    We're getting a real lesson in patience and perseverance when it comes to weather this week.

    You see, for the past few years we've had several homestead renovation projects that need to get done.

    These include

    • foundation poured
    • wraparound deck (middle level, built two years ago) sided
    • Top two decks waterproofed
    • Garage and house roof done
    • Greenhouse built!

    However, living this far north, we have a very short window of good weather for doing outdoor projects.

    Last year, we built a new generator shed and a chicken coop. And this year, we really need to get a new foundation poured under our off grid home. It's an older home now, built in the 80s. And natural settling plus shifting (permafrost melting maybe?) means it's time.

    Dan also wants to enclose the lakeside lowest level, the area currently below our massive wraparound deck. This would give us additional storage space, plus a nice man cave and games room for him, all with a lovely lake view.

    But the rain. Sometimes we'll get two or three sunny days, then rain. And while we're happy it's keeping the wildfires away, it's also delaying our projects.

    I'll post our progress in my Instagram stories so you can follow along there.
