Off-Grid Alaska: Finally Insulating Our Workshop This Winter

Описание: Winter is no excuse to stop making progress on the homestead. In this episode we finally tackle a project that has been sitting unfinished since we built it. We transform one of our off-grid spaces into something functional, organized and ready for whatever Alaska throws at us — even in the dead of winter at 3°F with a biting northwest wind.

From installing insulation and vapor barrier to organizing the space for year-round use, this is real off-grid Alaska homestead life — freezing temps, family teamwork, goat interruptions and all. If you've been following along you know this one has been a long time coming.
