2 YEARS ALONE OFF-GRID | Everything we built [TIMELAPSE]

We left our city lives behind and moved to the top of a mountain in Spain, to live off-grid. We’ve spent 2 years alone, renovating an ancient stone house and restoring the land. Our first goal was to create a liveable space, and then to develop a vegetable garden in order to grow our own fruit and vegetables, and begin the journey to self-sufficiency. Since we moved here we’ve experienced some of the hottest summers on record, wildfires, floods, goats eating all of our trees, wild boar eating our vegetables and eagles eating our chickens. On top of all this we’ve been learning how to build a house for the first time on our own, in a language we have no experience in. We believe very much in our vision, and will continue to overcome these challenges, and find peace and happiness on this magical mountain. Join us as we continue to build our off-grid homestead, and become self-sufficient from the land. 0:00 Discovering our new home 1:35 Cleaning of donkey manure 2:15 Clearing our impassable 2 km track 2:33 Meeting the inhabitants (snakes, rats, spiders, sheep) 3:21 Building the foundations (first ever concrete mix) 3:45 Buying 30 chickens ( building a home for them) 4:23 Clearing 100 tonnes of soil 5:35 Making a vegetable garden 6:48 Biggest rain since 1940 7:51 Rock climbing 8:37 Planting trees 9:15 Retaining wall falls down 10:15 Planting 100 olive trees, sheep eat them all 11:40 Having a baby 11:53 House nearly burns down 13:59 Rebuilding the wall 14:50 Magical river 15:49 Winter (snow storm blocks our track) 17:22 Creating a liveable space upstairs 18:28 Making a path to our front door 20:14 Solar system (DIY) 21:27 Moving in 22:17 Harvesting olives, night-time creatures 22:38 Eagle attack 24:04 Where we are now With your support we can keep these videos coming every week, even small donations make a big difference to our video production: - Patreon: - PayPal: Instagram: Business enquiries: ladyandtheowlman@ #offgrid #offgridliving #homestead #abandoned #renovation #stonehouse #timelapse #tinyhouse #wilderness #diy #alone #spain
