Everything we have done in our first year off grid.
Hi, we are Bec, Sam, Isabella & Euan. After selling our house in the UK & travelling Europe in a motorhome for 10 months, we have bought a derelict stone cottage in Ireland. We are keen to try and live an off grid life, free from debt whilst bringing the farm back to its former glory. We are doing this on a very tight budget and plan on doing the work ourselves.
Please follow along on our journey...we need all the support we can get!
A year ago today we put our offer in on this place! a little recap of all we have done since.

    Congratulations, you have accomplished so much in your first year. I admire your work ethic and determination, also your ability to roll with the punches and view a “disaster “ as a challenge and a solution. At the end of all this hard work you will have a home you will be proud of and some lovely memories for yourselves and your children.

I couldn't help but think, as I saw you with the wacker plate "One day soon you'll be walking up and down there with a vacuum cleaner" Everything you've done has been done beautifully. As always, thank you for sharing your journey with us, see you on the next one 🥰
