One of the world's largest concrete structure, Grand Coulee Dam contains nearly 12 million cubic yards of concrete. With 12 million cubic yards you could build a sidewalk four feet wide and four inches thick and wrap it twice around the equator (50000 miles). Coulee Dam is the largest hydropower producer in the US, fourth largest producer in the world.

This video will demonstrate some basic construction skills that you may find useful. There is a lot of joy building projects like this. To take a pile of lumber and make it into something useful is very satisfying. As a member of society that has been raised in an " I must have it now" culture going off-grid requires a complete paradigm shift in the way I must think. Carving a home into a remote Pacific Northwest wilderness is a massive undertaking. It would be easy to become discouraged if I stopped to consider the amount of work that needs to be done. God gives me strength. Establishing a homestead can't be rushed and needs to be completed in incremental steps. Every time we complete a project it's one step closer to fulfilling our dream.This is the hardest work and the best work I have ever done. I thank God for every day I get to spend on the mountain and will be eternally grateful to Him for calling my family and me out of Babylon. Thank you Lord, Thank you...
