....another way of stating we are 'almost' there...

We finally have our place to the point we could conceivably live there like 'normal people',although the gas for the stove top isn't hooked up.

But we stayed up there for several days,kept warm by the wood stove and actually cooked meals from scratch,on top of the wood stove in one instance!!!

But we had to come back here,and then reality got in the way.
We are short of funds to get the remainder done so we can relocate..

Cookin' on a wood stove ain't exactly new tech ya know About where is this new place? Just roughly... has that place got good water for the taking with a bucket?

Twice now I have scared utility crews at 2 different locations where heating with wood and good clean water could be had for the taking with a bucket. Both events were ice storms, and the power was out. So my current wife and me cooked and made coffee, and both time worn out crews showed up, finding indoors was around 80 degrees, smells of foods cooking and strong coffee on the stove, scared them, thinking I had power. The 12 volt car radio hooked up to listen to the whiners didn't help any

Neva' heard of it. That in SC somewhere? Got water?

Reasons I ask these things is once I rode the USA both ways and a 1/2 on a motorcycle to see the USA, and to learn about plants that live in those places, which lends me an idea on how things are in other places. In some ways I was looking for a better place to be, but didn't find one.

Turns out I must be able to make maple sugar, or Die

Western North Carolina....nice hilly(not TOO hilly) land with some good spots for the raised beds and enough room for the livestock.
