Yeh nice one man! That real life right there, and you got permission so you know it wont be a waste of time if no one can ask you to leave :)
For us Europeans that cabin is fucking humongous!! I see that you could make a very nice wind proof cabin, well downsize, inside of the existing cabin from all the other wall material. Nice to have dogs isnt it :)
Feel free to send me another link to the progress of the place!
Yeah it is often way too 'real' of a life. I would never do what I am doing without permission. As a property caretaker (land steward) it is a role that often accommodates my odd lifestyle choices which is a huge part of why I have spent much of my life doing it.
That shack (cabin) is big by my standards as well. I have lived happily in many places much smaller than it and I am not even European! :) I am also not some over-consuming arrogant American either so go figure. The shack itself though I have left largely as I found it other than some roof repairs and a few other things that I just 'had' to do for the time I spent in it. It was not (and is not) mine to do what I want with.
As for my current progress...once the video backlog is all uploaded to DTube I will start sharing current content. Until then I think it is best not to provide spoilers. I will say that I now have my own small area of the property that is mine to do with as I please with my homestead and whoa I fucking love it!
As for dogs..they are the joy of my world and it is well beyond 'nice' to have them.
Cheers and be well!
