Build Log
I'm J.R. Graham, and I'm building an off-grid house in Central Oregon: a two-story weekend and vacation place that runs on solar, a battery bank, propane, and hauled water. This is the build log behind The Off-Grid Build Book and the free sizing calculator, and the longer story behind my posts on X. You'll get the real numbers from my receipts, the decisions as I make them (including the ones still open), and the mistakes, expensive ones included. Size your own system with the free calculator, or get the free worksheet before you buy plans.

Welcome to the Build Log: One Off-Grid House, Written Down as It Goes Up
Start here: who I am, where the off-grid idea came from, why off-grid (honestly), and what you'll find in this build log.
