Cowboy Steve off-grid building adventures. This modern cowboy journal will appeal to Off-grid, Homesteaders, Tiny Home, Solar and Shipping Container builders and farmers alike. Can a lone cowboy (and some help every now and again) build a Santa Fe style adobe home using modern building techniques? Can it be built by one cowboy? The mission is: 1. Restorative Forest Farming on 30 acres in Central Texas. Turning overgrown failed pastures from cedar thickets to functional permaculture food forest. 2. Build a 1000 year workshop with shipping Containers as quickly as possible in 1-man construction. 3. Take lessons learned from workshop and build a small homestead. 4. Master all lessons and create a premium home off-grid and by 1 man. Reach me: [email protected]
