Shed to House Update | What We've Learned

Hey Friends! Well, we're full into winter now and learning new things every day. Right now our biggest battle is water. Joel Salatin would have told us to set up our water system well before we brought animals onto the homestead, but apparently we had to learn this lesson on our own. For our first winter on the mountain homestead and living in snow I'd say that we're doing pretty good. The snow is beautiful and we're loving it but getting to the point where we are looking forward to spring and the warmth that will bring. This video was a couple weeks coming because we took a bit of time off and Brianne took the big girls to California to visit friends and family. It was a great time and we enjoyed the green hillsides and warm sunshine. It was fun to see so many people that we haven't seen in almost a whole year and to hear how many friends have been following our channel! We're so glad that you're here! Here's a quick update on the animals and how they're doing. Everyone is quite happy despite the snow. The pigs are getting ready to move up the hill to help us create beautiful silvo pastures for our future endeavors. Maggie the cow has sleeted in nicely with her #girlcrew and has grown quite fond of Diana the Great Pyrenees. The #boycrew is getting ready to go to work on the brush clearing as soon as we get through all this snow! Chickens are starting to lay eggs and that's awesome news! The Shed to house conversion is coming along as we work on insulation and drywall. I forget how long drywall takes, and right about now we're really happy to be working on such a small house! Thanks for joining us on this grand adventure! Love Truly, The Holt Family
