Just 2 People Building a House- A Recap of Our First 6 Months as Owner Builders.
Looking back at what we have accomplished in the 6 months since we got our building permit. We had done a little dirt work before the permit but this is when the house building really started. Its amazing what two people can accomplish as owner builders, even without experience. We still have a long way to go but it feels like we are almost halfway to completing our new house! If you haven't been following along, this recap is a great way to catch up on where we are and what we've done so far! About Us: For a long time, Terry and I have been dreaming of a simpler life for ourselves- an off-grid cabin, wilderness, gardening, livestock, homesteading and lots of adventures. Last year we decided it was time to start working toward our dream and we set out on the hunt for our little slice of paradise. Over time our vision morphed from a small cabin in the woods to a net zero passive house powered by solar power. We haven't taken on a challenge like this before so there will be a lot of hard work and learning as we go. Join our journey of buying raw land and building our home as first time owner builders in BC, Canada. Welcome to An Average Acre!
