POUR UPDATE ‼️

Rescheduled for 4:30am Thursday morning - send calm weather vibes my way 🌗

This upcoming Sunday video will outline all of the silly hiccups and everything leading up to my newly poured slab (if all goes well, of course 😅) 

#diy #housebuild #offgrid
I’m on the very last steps of prepping my foundation for the concrete pour! 🏜️
I don’t really see myself ever doing this again (never say never 🙃) But I’m somehow already quite nostalgic about it. I’ve noticed this with almost every challenging project that I really care about. I’m already so sad that this part is coming to an end while simultaneously being so excited to move onto the next phase… not sure how that happens 😅

So fun. Bittersweet. Wildly rewarding. I’m loving life out here dirty and sunburnt ☀️

Almost there!!
Since November I’ve been down in this foundation, excavating, framing, plumbing, pressure testing, insulating. Figuring it out as I go, one system at a time.
Kind of wild to compress all of that into a minute and a half because DAMN this took a long time… it looks a bit too easy now 😅
When that concrete gets poured, it seals in every little thing. Months of work, buried under the surface forever. That’s equally terrifying and exciting.
The pour is coming. 🏜️

#ad It’s been crazy to see how this land has taken shape, especially the studio build - from what was going to be my little pottery studio to now being my “home” while working toward building my straw bale home. 
Power has been the most important addition, making it soooo much easier to power my tools, compressor, freezer, lights, the list goes on and on. Huge thanks to BattleBorn. 
Building this off-grid life has been such a crazy process, so grateful for it all!
