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-

First Real Post
Today I spent an hour or so with Dea smoothing and leveling the pole barn area. Waiting on the framing for the concrete before we can finish that up.
I spent the next three hours clearing slash (piles of downed trees and dirt resulting from clearing the drive) piles. Hard work, but well worth it. Not only does it look ugly, but major fire issue. Fortunately most of the down trees were rotting and light. There were a few that required the attention of the chainsaw. WooHoo; fun with power tools! We are having to burn the stuff I'm gathering so that it doesn't pile up too much.
I called it a day there due to major back pain and fatigue. Sucks getting old.
