Comment on Anon describes their dream home

Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

I have dreamed of this lifestyle for over 20 years, and just moved here a few months ago.

Septic is installed, we live in an RV. Just got this land leveled and ready to move the RV into place next to the storage containers we have. Right across the driveway will be a large garden area, but right now we only have a compost pile so far.

A neighbor said they will help us with chickens, so we only need some fence and feed. Things move slowly, but we are excited to jump into this lifestyle. Fresh air and beautiful views.

  I run a few online businesses (streaming, YouTube, eBay), but had to put all that on hold as we were moving and getting settled here. Just about out of our savings, but we are very close to starting the business back up. I think maybe 1-2 weeks.
  
  There is always set backs working here off grid, example is yesterday I was cleaning land to move out RV and the track came off the excavator. It looks like a simple fix on YouTube but it’s raining now lol

What do you do for water?

  Currently getting water from a purification machine at the store, it’s expensive but we use very little right now. (42 cents per gallon)
  
  We just got a 2,500 gallon tank, after I finish the plumbing I plan to order water delivery, should be about $200 to fill the tank. (Less than 1 cent per gallon)
  
  After that I’m making a roof and collecting rain water. (Free water)

    I think it’s a local company, Met them at a local event for the alternative buildings and living off grid. We also met a lot of YouTubers there, it was super chill.
    
    When I call them, I want to ask if it’s from a well, is it drinkable, etc. I do have filters and the UV light for water that I will add eventually.

    If you don’t mind me asking. Where are you located that you are able to do this?

    Arizona has several counties that are not as strict and allow a lot of alternative living options.
