We’re Danny and Kate. After years dreaming of living in the countryside together, growing our own food and raising our own animals, now we’re really making it happen! We’ve just bought 12 acres of land in the Spanish mountains where we’re converting an old stone barn into a tiny house and prepping the land to start a homestead. With no water, no electricity and no building experience, this ought to be fun....! Follow our journey as we take on the barn conversion by ourselves, learning the skills we need along the way, to start our mortgage free dream life in the mountains.
