We are on the journey to off-grid living, self-sufficiency and sustainability. Our new farm in Northern Alberta Canada is 87 acres, mostly treed. Right now we have a barn/workshop, 1000 sq ft home, several outbuildings, a small pond and a fantastic view overlooking Ray Lake. (Ray loves that part!!) We invite you to follow our journey!

Critters
We have mice. The property had not been lived on for close to a year before we bought it and we knew there was a mouse problem when we moved in. We set out mouse traps and caught a few but there seemed to be some fairly smart mice that evaded the traps and we were seeing signs of them before I left for work. After I left for my second hitch at work they got into a brand new package of toilet paper in the bathroom and destroyed it. My wife had had enough and did a little research online and built a mouse trap from a 5 gallon bucket, a old pop bottle, a stick and some peanut butter. It seems to be working quite well as she has caught mice in it almost every night since she started using it.
