Welcome to Guildbrook Farm

Guildbrook Farm is a modern homestead in the foothills of Appalachia. We take our audience along on a journey to become more self-reliant by growing our own organic produce, raising animals for dairy and eggs, preparing food for long-term storage, and building off the grid renewable energy systems. In 2017, we moved to raw land where we are building a debt-free energy efficient and disaster resistant ICF mountain home. Join us as we learn to live a simple, sustainable lifestyle.

Installing Attic Stairs, Flooring and Rewiring a Circular Saw

Installing Attic Stairs, Flooring and Rewiring a Circular Saw

We are using up all the left over OSB sheathing and scraps to make an attic floor, then installing the pull-down attic stairs to allow access to the space. There is quite a bit of room that would otherwise have been wasted, so now we have a place to install the upstairs HVAC air handler plus lots of storage room for seasonal items.

Also.. If you accidentally cut the cord on your circular saw we show you how to fix it.
