Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the positive comments! We love it and until a couple of days ago I assumed the wife would "sky burial" me on the adjacent island. Life got in the way though.
As for you moving from your tax farm(USA) to my tax farm (CANADA), no problem. A few "Mericans" ( I just noticed how close that looks to "Meixcans") live on the island now. One couple has been here since the draft. From Nov-March I typically see 0 people walking around. So if you are into some alone time... it's got it in spades. However if you want to see a concert in Vancouver you can jump in the boat and be there in 45 mins as long as the straight of Georgia isn't going nuts.
Summertime brings a few cottagers who come out for a week or two max. If you do a little fishing and like to eat
deer (none on this island so your gardens are safe) its pretty low buck to be out here. Also when you do get a little lonely there's a complete dance club built into the house. Last new years we had 35 people show up, not bad for a population of 8.
