Welcome to Guildbrook Farm

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.

Now that the Sheetrock is hung the tedious and time consuming process of taping and mudding the joints begins. They are applying 3 coats of joint compound which seems to take a long time because it has to be allowed to dry thoroughly between coats to prevent cracking and shrinking. After that the sanding happens and we'll be ready for texture, primer and paint!
