Our attempt to document Florida Homesteading @ Liberty Retreat. Our cash only homesteading of 10 unimproved acres in the Florida panhandle into a home first, then build smaller cottages for long term/short term rentals. Camping sites too, which are available now. Only 30 min from Destin shopping & beaches. Email for more info. Why is it taking so long? There will be many stages, steps and mini-projects required to make this happen, as well as the most important element -cash-

Blacked Out
Well, sorta. We worked until dark today. We nearly finished the floor joists for building two. We were short five joists (2x10x16s). We got all the holes drilled for the bolts that secure the headers to the posts. They were temporarily held by nails. The bolts have yet to be tightened and a few still need to be inserted as well. Then there is the matter of all the hurricane strapping. So I guess when I say we are finished; that's not exactly accurate. But another days work should finish that up and all that's left before our first inspection is the roughed in plumbing. The septic tank install is supposed to be inspected tomorrow.
The photo shows Sonny and I positioning one of the joists.
