Wild Wonderful Off-Grid

We are a couple who are building our own home from the ground up in the mountains of West Virginia. After living near the city our entire lives, we finally decided to sell it all, pack up our 3 kids and live in an RV on our 73 acres while building our own debt-free, off-grid house and learn to live a more self-reliant life.
As of 2023, we are officially living inside our self-built A-Frame home and building on the bedroom wing addition.
