Off The Grid, Texas

A blog of our progress as we build a shipping container house for a home on our peaceful Texas Hill Country farm and vineyard. Our plan is to exist off the grid using a solar panels power station, wind turbines, batteries, inverters, and the like for our electricity. We have rain gutters and barrels in place for most of our water needs along with a large pond that stayed full even throughout the recent Texas droughts. We invite you to grab a big ole cup of coffee and follow along in the fun!

Our Siamese Chocolate Tabby Point Cat

After a little research I found that our Elsa cat is a Siamese Chocolate Tabby Point. We found three little kittens in our shed, and sadly found their mother had been attacked and killed by a predator. So we bottle fed them, and of course now I am a cat lady! We decided to keep the 3 together because they belong together forever!
