Update for those who know i have been here for 2 1/2 yrs with no bathroom:
I put in the septic tank for the grey water system / worm farm septic system i am creating. Next i will build the addition with composting toilet for the poo. That will have the
shower stall in it and laundry and composting toilet and a stone/brick
oven for baking breads etc. That room is only 12ft by 12ft. It will have a 5 ft tall space below the floor for the 55gallon drums for collecting poo. It will also have a
concrete dividing wall to separate the cleanout of the stone/brick oven. That will be acessable from outside. The drums will roll on carts and be rotated in place as needed. Over 2 yrs time they will
compost and eventually be used for tree fertilizer.
Spring is right around the corner and my garden is a wonderful 2/5 of an acre with fruit trees berries and grapes and garlic and asparagus coming in and needing help with veggie planting and building cold frames. The soil is very well fertilized and has produced many bountiful crops.
The acre across my trout stream has been seeded for a future grazing area. Its clear because it has
local electric wires to neighbors running across it. I have approval for making a watering area for grazing animals by the trout stream.
The barn is almost done and soon i will be raising quail and pheasents in each side with long 17 ft flying pens 8 ft tall. Acessable to
feed them from the barns interior. I may even add nesting boxes on the interior walls.
I have funds
enough to slowly get these things done by summer time. I just need some help and a potential partner or partners to join me.
So far i feel like the little red hen who has done it all myself. I don't want to be that i do want to share it with someone who helps me. However, i will get it done eventually by myself.
The upstairs bedrooms of the house can be heated with floor registers and
wood stoves. I and my mom sleep in livingroom due to her age and my need to care for her thru the night.
There is no place to build more buildings, except a
greenhouse. We can though make an addition to the side of this building. We can also make an upstairs bathroom above the soon to be built downstairs bathroom. That could allow a person separate space on second floor except they might want to sleep outside in hot summers. Though it could have a outside deck off the 2nd floor as well on the north exposure for outside sleeping on those few hot summer nights. We could though in the mean time pump the cold air from the basement thru ducts to the 2nd floor with powerful fans or you could sleep there as i have a bed there too. The house is completely furnished. summer tents are ok though.
Yes there is much we can do here that can be done. I am slowly getting it done and would love some help / partners. Is that you?
PS: I do plan to get a horse and buggy again and use that for short trips around this amish community.
NOTE: You can be an older person as i am in my late 50's and mom is 90 but i accept all ages here. I do not accept smokers or drugs and i can feed you and we eat all types of food and so must you.
