Yeah, do check out my other post in the series. But I'm helping build a retaining wall out of tires. In a nutshell that's what it is brought me to this mountain. Btw, there's gonna be a post on the progress of this work coming up soon too.
Look forward to it :)

After your stint here, just having a relieable source of power and water will seem like heaven. We really don't appreciate what we have until we lose it for a while. For us, having water on the property was heaven. For two years we had to bring it from 1 km away and up 600 meters to the house...
I'm sure it is! Though honestly, it's way too exciting to know that I don't really need that much... There are things that I want, of course, but those go way beyond water and power from the grid. 600 meters high on 1 km distance? Sounds a lot like this place, hehehehe! ;-)
Right on! You're really doing well there despite the many challenges. And you are right - It's amazing how well adaptable our bodies really are. Like, you got the essentials it sounds like and that is all one really needs. What about a portable power pack? You may already know what I'm talking about or have one.
If you do not have one, please lmk maybe I could send you one?
Oh, I know Chelsea! These last week there's little else I've been pondering about. Ironically, only a year ago I was seriously researching power options for very basic needs (though that included very efficient refrigeration) for a project that didn't happen. Now, getting the gear was another matter. Here in Mexico the additional challenge is that the stuff stores sell are overpriced and very low quality. Ordering stuff from abroad includes ridiculous taxes that make it not even worth pursuing. Next time I'm in the States, though... yeah, that's how these kinds of ponderings usually start.
