In my intro video, (hopefully you’ve seen it), I talked about a chicken coop that I tore down and turned it into a woodshed. I wanted to share that here, it’s a great blessing to have the materials present before we ever knew what to do with it. All I knew was I was told by my wife that she was getting tired of seeing this sad sagging building every day when she walked, so we discussed it and great idea from my lovely wife we reused the material for a woodshed. The post are made of telephone poles and treated railroad timbers and the base is treated railroad ties soaked in creosote. I had to buy some lags and a couple boxes of screws, (sheet metal and wood), but for less than $50.00 we had a building! Praise the Lord that He delivers us stuff before our minds can even consider that we needed it, what a blessing that He let us restore the old into new, just as He does when we let Him grab ahold of our hearts! “…your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” Matthew 6:8 KJV

Today we are launching our community! I am glad to say we are doing this as I love the idea of growing the group, but the true blessing will be to grow each other! Join us in the crazy life that is homesteading and let us know what you are doing in your day to day. It will be awesome to learn a little bit about everyone new that joins. Let’s grow together, share with your friends who are farm/homesteading, or maybe they are just thinking about getting into it!
