One of the hardest parts of living offgrid in the New Mexico deserts is dealing with the winds. We don’t have any natural protection from the winds. With limited water, poor soil for growing trees, and shrubs is hard. We do have plans for planting but not ready due to having to haul water.
Many people have questioned us about the steps and the Hut and the Dusty Nail General Store. These straps are to secure them during the winds. We have had the wind blow both little buildings over and move them across the yard. We’ve had a full sheet 4×8 ft OSB get air born and fly well over 200 feet. Spring is usually the worst for the winds. We tend to stay inside (unless you like the taste of sand, and it is invading places it shouldn’t) myself, my sinuses swell up.
It can be deceiving as it’s sunny, warm, and looks very inviting to just hang outside.
