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-

Welcome to our world.

Headers Done!
Yesterday: Spent the morning buying lumber and putting up the last of the headers. Took a bit longer than expected because the lumber was a bit warped. Had to use some clamps to get them positioned right. After went to work sheating the back and outside walls. Turns out the building had a slight lean to it and had to get a "come along" to straighten it out. Was an interesting adventure. But by the end of the day Dea and I had the building plumb and 6 sheets up. It was a beautiful, sunny day and I took the opportunity to work on my tan a bit. Sonny had called from Hawaii and said he was with us in spirit. I forgot to mention to him his "spirit" doesn't lift very much.
Oh, almost forgot. We'd have pictures except we are having technical difficulties. Or one rather. And that is Windows "let's not support anything and make everything as hard as possible, with as many steps as possible and two confirmations for each step" Vista.
