Hello! My name is Danee. My husband and I just got married in July and moved out to West TN. We met in school at Penn State, but were living apart up until the wedding. I was in East TN on my parent's farm and he was still up in PA. He got a job out here in West TN and so we begin our journey. We have been house hunting with no luck. For a while now, I have been very intrigued with the idea of having an off grid homestead. Before we were married, we talked about what we would want for a home and we semi-joked about just buying land and putting up a tiny house. Flash forward a few months, and that idea may become our reality. I decided to join a forum (my first ever. I don't have any sort of social media account and I refuse to buy a smart phone) to get some ideas from people about possibly going this route. We are both very excited about the idea of going off grid, but we aren't sure how to best go about it. We are playing around with the idea of staying in a tent or buying a small RV and slowly building. I will be around asking questions, getting ideas, and picking y'alls brains to see if my husband and I should throw caution to the wind and start from scratch. I look forward to conversing with all y'all.
