In part 1 of this story, I explained the first part of our journey of starting an off grid homestead from scratch. The first part included how Jesse and I came to the realization that we were unhappy with our busy city lives, our  work, and that we ultimately wanted to buy land and start an off grid homestead. Here is where the story resumes.

After a year of searching, we found the perfect piece of property that made our hearts sing. It was $45,000 for 5 acres, it had a great building site already laid out, the owner was willing to carry the contract with $5,000 down which worked well for us, it met all of our criteria (including having a south-facing view for solar and the ability to receive a strong wifi signal), and it looked like we would be able to close on the property within days of the date we had to be out of our rental!
