Ok permies, I
should be moving my family in about 3 weeks to our new property and have some questions on what and maybe where to find useful stuff. With 31 acres of mixed pasture and woods, I should have room to store some “stuff” like I’ve never had in the
city!
So, what suggestions would you have for “stuff”, especially that may be much cheaper in bulk? Example: for
RMH supplies, I plan to put one in the 30x40 metal shop/garage first, but after that would like one that is at least sort of pretty (like Paul’s) in the double wide. So, maybe a pallet of fire bricks? Buy 6-8” ductwork by the pallet or case? Suggestions on where to find bulk quantities? What are the latest suggestions for fire bricks vs. ceramic wrap vs. casting a j-tube?
Moving out of Kansas City, I’ve still made a lot of
freedom minded friends in the past year, and we are looking into buying pallets of
solar panels to start with. I should have the room to store extras to
sell off for a price well below retail. Been trying to think what else that may work with. Considering buying a super duty pickup and trailer (have a CDL so can drive pretty much any loads up to 80,000 lbs.) Maybe I can help save on shipping costs by picking up or delivering for friends.
Thanks for your thoughts and ideas! Not sure if I’ll ever be able to get to sort of a
Wheaton Labs-Missouri type status, but it can be a goal... along with a wofati in the Northern slope of that hill in the woods, maybe!
Leif :)
