Septic Issues and Rainwater Collection Fail: 6 Weeks No Rain, No Water Left! - & Deck Stain

In this video, we face the harsh reality of off-grid living as our rainwater collection system completely fail after 6 weeks with no rain! We’ve run out of water, and to make matters worse, our greywater system is acting up — the tank isn’t draining properly, adding to our off-grid water crisis.

We’ll show you how we’re dealing with these setbacks and the temporary solutions we’re putting in place to get by until the next rainfall. On a more positive note, we’re also staining our custom self-milled deck on the off-grid cabin, making the most of the dry weather to preserve the wood and enhance its look.
