Awesome post @stellabelle! I will definitely be following @steemsilo on the regular. I am VERY passionate about bartering and trading. It is nice to see such lovely ladies so close to home (I live out in the boonies about 2 hours west of Kansas City).

@stellabelle I found Steemit by following James Corbett of Corbett Report. He suggested that folks leave FB (he isn't on that platform) and try Steemit.

Thanks for the invite. I am pretty busy until the new year. I would love to be on the email list: [email protected]

Wow i'm dazed, this goes in line with my thought after watching spiderman 2017 and Stark made comment

You are nothing if you can't live without sophistication

She made something out of nothing or little, i'd like to proclaim this kind of message. I wish you can bring more people's life to inspire steemians @stellabelle, i love the way you wrote about her, i wish you write more on other people.
Allow me to bring @steemsilo in to my next post

Hi there @stellabelle well its quite profounding, and unbelievable. Which makes me wonder how much the US dollars is really worth.

But then again, the house is a large one which means the woman is vert prudent with spending.
Its really amazing though.

Hello @stellabelle

Wow...Indeed what a man can do, a woman can do it better. Your revelation with respect to @steemsilo captures this sentence in all its ramifications.

Initially I thought you were referring to her funding her house building process. On reading deep, lol and behold, I discovered I was wrong: the woman in question actually practically built her house by herself!

Again, to learn that she can fix cars and do electrical wiring too is a skill that can hardly be found among her gender. This woman @steemsilo must be a genius of no small standing.

I advise she does her blogging in those areas she has a comparative advantage.

Following her and will always check on her.

Hi @stellabelle indeed what an amazing post it is perhaps i am impressed with @steemsilo because she has really taken herself down to earth by constructing her own house by using grain bins,i must say that i have never heard of a woman with so much skills to a point of building her own house and even doing the electrical wiring by herself indeed she has really reduced the bills on her side since she is sharing electricity with her parents and as for the water she is getting it from a well perhaps what a simple life with no much stress to worry about bills like electricity,water and house rent ,lastly i do think the rest of us on steemit we do have a big lesson to learn from her,thank you @stellabelle for this great post since i have as well learnt alot from it and i do think the lessons i have learnt from this post will surely help me in life.

I just moved back to a city after spending nearly 5 years off grid in the Blue Ridge mountains in western North Carolina. I made this major shift somewhat against my will and better judgement to get closer to the company I co-founded's HQ and my sales partner and most of our clientele. I had a 12x28 foot tiny house, no grid ties, solar, a spring to bucket water up from about 100 feet down mountain from the house. I had a bit of various livestock around the place, including chickens, goats, horse, mule, dogs, cats, and rabbits. Your lady in this article really has it going on by comparison though. I'll miss it.

Alexis Stephens and Christian Parsons are a "pull out all the stops or go home" sort of couple. At the point when Alexis needed to improve her life and her surroundings in 2015, they expelled the messiness, reserved their old photos and Christmas enrichments in a capacity unit, and manufactured the little home they had always wanted.

Presently, the couple is venturing to every part of the nation making a narrative about little mortgage holders discovering group — in places of all shapes and sizes plies one vote
