The First 6 Months at My Homestead: Everything I've Done

When I bought this old farmstead 6 months ago, I had no idea what to expect and what I would discover. It has been such an interesting ride so far and I believe it will continue to be. By now, I have cleared out all of the 14 buildings, demolished 6 of them, painted 3 and transported away one shed. I have had many good helpers and advisors, I am so grateful to everyone who has been a part of this journey.
In my channel, I am sharing my journey of bringing a 100-year-old homestead back to life in rural Estonia. In the summer of 2025 I bought a neglected property with an old farmhouse and several run-down sheds in a quiet village. It had been six years since anyone lived there. My dream is to build a simple, slow-paced and low-cost life with no mortgage and more freedom with my time.
