Greetings. My name is Robert. I recently lost my partner of almost 40 years in February 2017. We had always talked about starting a homestead with garden, chickens and maybe a horse or two. But all we did was talk. Never acted. After Donnie's passing I lost our house and had to move into the short school bus we had been remodeling together.
Life has been hard this last year after his passing but I have finally decided to start the homestead we always wanted. There is a farm in my family and Donnie always liked visiting it. So over the last few months I have been clearing out an area nestled back in the woods here on the farm. Below are some pictures of the land cleared with surrounding trees.

I will be living in a short school bus but I am almost done with one outbuilding that I will be using for my kitchen and food storage. I will also be using coolers and barrels I bury in the ground for cold storage of vegetables and such. I am hoping next spring to dig me a root cellar for better food storage and for foods I plan on canning. Below are some pictures of my school bus and outbuilding I have built. I am kinda of proud of myself for the building. I have never built anything in my life. I used pallets for framing the building then I got every piece of scrap lumber and plywood I could fine to finish the building out. Thanks Mike(my nephew) for you help.

I am almost finished with the outbuilding and will post further pictures of it a little later.
Until the next post have a blessed day. Peace, Robert.
