Our slice of Canada
Hi Everyone! Welcome to our channel!
We are a couple with grown-up kids who decided to start a new and exciting project - buying a piece of wooded land, clearing it, building a house and a garden. There are definitely will be chickens, ducks and maybe other birds and animals on our land, but not right away. This is not an educational channel, as we learn new skills as we go, and we won't be building the house (or clearing the land) all by ourselves, we just going to take on the jobs we're comfortable doing and all the rest we will leave to professionals. We want to document this project for our own memories and share it with you if you're interested in following along.
We're developing our property in rural New Brunswick, Canada, and we love it here, as it has a bit of resemblance to some rural areas of our country of origin - Ukraine.
