About Looney Bin Maine Life
We’re two sisters (plus a rotating cast of friends brave enough to join us) transforming raw Maine woodland into an off-grid waterfront retreat.
Every week we tackle something new:
Cutting in a mud path to the waterfront
Clearing land for our first camping pad
Building a rodent-proof outhouse
Creating a kitchen pergola
Adding wood storage and tool stations
Constructing a waterfront deck
Planning the future off-grid cabin powered by solar, batteries, and rainwater systems
It’s messy. It’s hilarious. It’s Maine.
We film and document the whole thing so you can learn from our wins (and mistakes).
You will see all the pictures, videos of the journey
