Guildbrook Farm is a modern homestead in the foothills of Appalachia. We take our audience along on a journey to become more self-reliant by growing our own organic produce, raising animals for dairy and eggs, preparing food for long-term storage, and building off the grid renewable energy systems. In 2017, we moved to raw land where we are building a debt-free energy efficient and disaster resistant ICF mountain home. Join us as we learn to live a simple, sustainable lifestyle.

Electrical rough in continues as we pull wire, make up the electrical boxes and set the ground rods. Wiring a new house is a lot more work than I thought. It's not hard, but there is a lot to do and having an experienced electrician to help makes all the difference. Doing as much of the work as I can myself is also saving us a few thousand dollars that can go toward another part of the build.
