MWM,
I have retired and have a retirement. It is not much but it is enough to support me. I do not have to support myself with the produce of the property. I can go as slowly as I wish. The biigest problem, of couse is the funds.
First I need to get down there and set up the platform for the yurt and then get a crew together to set it up. Move into the Yurt, set up the water system and the solar panels. Then arrange to have a propane tank installed and plumed to the stove, heater, water heater and generator.
Hopefully by then Jody will have dug the well And I can get the pump wired to the solar panels. That should take me quite a while.
