The Finca Adventure

So we've made a decision. We're going to take our tools and go to Colombia. We'll buy a property and build a Timber-frame home on it. By hand.

This is the story of our journey to build an off-grid homestead. We have no experience of doing something like this - not anywhere, then why not pick Colombia. The biggest thing I have built is an Adirondack Chair. Maybe I'm crazy doing this - we'll find out.

The plan is to buy all the materials (or as much of it as we can) locally, hire as little help as possible, and build a home.

Just the two of us. And our 3 dogs of course.

I don't speak Spanish very well yet but hopefully that will be an added bonus at the end of this adventure.
