@off.grid.island 2 months ago we started work on our off grid island in Finland! It has been a lot of fun, we have learned a lot and we can’t believe how many people are on this journey with us! ☺️ So far we have made a deck for our glamping tent out of logs we fell on the island. This was the first build on the island and a big milestone as I have never felled a tree before or built anything. We are really happy with the results and now have a comfortable place to stay with the 5m Bell tent🏕️ The next project was getting a bathroom on the island, it was a bit difficult to transport as we don’t have floating dock yet to make transporting materials to the island easier. At the end we got it build and it makes a huge difference with comfort on the island. There are still a few things we want to get at the basecamp before we start felling trees for our sauna cabin. Getting running water, a shower and a floating dock would make trips to the island much easier and allow us to stay longer so we can get more work done. We want to build a smaller sauna cabin first and if that goes well we will build a larger main cabin in the future. There is a lot of work to do and we have big plans for the island so follow along as we try and turn our off grid island into the island of our dreams! Thank you for everything, all the tips are help are always appreciated.
