Forget the Dream House — We’re Building a Workshop First

To get power on our raw land, we had to completely change our plans — and build a workshop/house before the dream home.

Instead of building the trailer shelter we had planned, we realized it made more sense to design a two-story, 20×30 workshop/house we could live in now and later use as our permanent shop, office, and guest space. It’s a huge pivot, but one that solves our immediate problems and sets up the homestead long term. In this episode, I pour concrete for the first time to set the posts for our meter base, work through the design of the workshop/house, and bring in my construction buddy Cody to see if it’s even possible to fit this structure on our small build site.
