So Who Are We?
We,have owned our sheet metal business Krugers Sheetmetal Pty Ltd since 1996.
We run our businesses from the old woolshed, which includes tin-smithing, welding, and chicken wrangling workshops.
We live with an amazing assemblage of chickens, some sheep and a goat and grow lot of our own food, learning new (timeless) handcrafts and finding new ways to use stuff that people discard.
Our pride and joy is the salvaged wood cooker, brought back to life by Peter and now ‘Mabel’ has pride of place in the kitchen, warming and nourishing body and soul.
Although small business owners we are also advocates of simple living, or are we small business owners so we can live simply?
Either way , in 2015 we set up Our Life Our Way as a space to share the joys, beauty and challenges we experience living on the outskirts of a small rural community where we share our combined skills and knowledge about the art of simple living.
Living our life our way is as much about what we tune out from as it is about what we tune into, as we seek the things that nourish us. We have set up an online shop -The Simple Living Store- were we will source beautiful handmade items we think will benefit your simple living journey, we will sell our products such as The Chicken Feeder, and heirloom tin smithed products such as buckets, wash tubs, garden cloches to name a few, and also we will be selling beautiful products from other small local artisan manufacturers.
We aim to run workshops to give you the skills you’ll need to simplify your life. Sometimes we will present those workshops ourselves and sometimes we’ll bring in presenters we would love to listen to and share them with you all.
We hope you will join us on our journey as we chatter about simple living, including things that go wrong! We will give it to you boots and all.
So Welcome!
