I went off and cut 2 acres of lawn while they got some paint on the structure. They also got it all over each other, later under intense interrogation I got the little one to crack. They had a paint fight! Yep, all over them. And all over that new black haired shepherd, all over the red dog, all over the sled dog who managed to rub some on my Toureg, and of course all over the patio. Did I mention they were wearing clothes we had just bought them?Anyway I made them use that orange pumice to scrub themselves in their skivvies while I hosed them off with cold water (Building character) and went back myself to finish the first coat and paint on a second one
Not sure if you have decided on a house yet but I found these guys http://www.amishcabincompany.com/. They have off-grid cabin kits and have cabin displays in Kentucky if you wanted to check them out. Not a shop and home combo but a nice little living quarters. I didn't check the prices though so I'm not sure what it would run or what exactly you want.
Careful, CPS will be after you!!I bet you make them walk home from school sometimes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Will it look like this;
One structure that I seem to keep coming back to is a Monitor style barn. Versatile, roomy, interesting spaces, some lofted spaces which I like to be able to look out from a high vantage point and a pole barn which is pretty economical to construct
hey now, I think there are a few of us on here that would have absolutely no problem using that fine building as long as we didn't have to utilize a mixture of mogas and jp-8 to burn what it was that we evacuated from our systems........ ;Dwe all know that MRS flyin6 will never, ever, be asked to conduct such duties, but on the other hand, I think we have many such vol-in-tolds for such a mission......... :oI am guessing such folks like the flyin 6 pre-rangersthe dustoff pre-rangerkentatebobthe guy from the land of Obama (mike, still love yah!)that electrician guy from massI think there is a guy from LA/TX that does a lot of heavy equipment stuff (ash)the guy that used to own great lakes off road and is now taking some family time (shawn)we have a suit from TX (R/N)oh what the heck, everybody gets a turn doing this!

That is not a real deep hole. Not sure on intended duration for use, drainage and soil makeup. If it's just a short term thing it will probably suffice, but for long term I'd want to go deeper. Also if you keep paper products out of it, the natural process is more efficient and effective. Septabs I think is what I put in mine a couple times a year to get it working, probably other variants to do the same. These are not something you want to deal with too many times, I need to redo the original at my cabin this year. No idea how deep it was, 20 years old or so. I'm planning on 4 x 4 x 7-8 deep. And yes, character building project. :D

I've also done these along the pacific crest trail as part of an Eagle Scout project. for long term staying power, 6' min is my recommendation. We had to help each other out of our holes.
One aspect I didn't see addressed: -vent stackMrs. 6 will appreciate it much more, if you use one, which has a diameter larger than the entry hole- path of least resistance is used by stench too! With lid down and large vent, little stink at all!
also on that vent stack should be one of those whirly thingies to assist with removing the gasses that will accumulate.

Dual chrome stacks?
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Cool. Understand the physics, just need more practical information like head height, flow rates, and equipment sizing. I'd like a combination of solar, wind and hydro to take advantage of what's available. Solar will probably take another 5 years to mature to something that makes economic sense. I look forward to your post.Sorry to DOT. I thought Don might be interested if he had springs.
Wow Don what a piece of equipment to have! I have rented those before and loved it. Can I ask how many acres is the farm?
the thumb makes all the difference.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Right now it's 92...Looking at adding 160 in the near future, then 78 more and finally 60 more. Lots of timber as well
