Renovating a 100 year old Farmhouse. Taking possession of the farmhouse // The Homestead #1

In this Video we take our first steps onto our own land! After living in our van for 9 months and saving and working towards homesteading as a next step, we finally are able to take possession of this old farm home in rural Ontario Canada. But not without a few problems first... For those following along the beginning of the video is an update of what we had to do the last month before closing. Then we got a call that we are homeowners. We knew there might be some issues with the seller because the day before this video was filmed we went to the home for our final inspection and not a single thing in the house had been packed or taken away.... So there we are with the key to our new home but no way we can move in. We got to the property a couple hours after closing and the movers were still there joking around about giving them a few more days to move this stuff out. I talk to the seller and we agree that I will give them 2 more hours to get the rest of their stuff out. We come back they are still there. We wait a bit and eventually our realtor gets involved and then they leave, leaving a bunch of garbage behind that I told them I would deal with because I plan to build a home recycling center like the one I learned about when I was in Taiwan from Taiwanderful recycling co.

After that long stressful day of uncertainty we walk into our home and decide to get straight to work, Emily and I throw on our coveralls and start ripping the carpets out. Then i get high and spend some time in each room, observing the feel and the energy of the place.
