What if propane were no longer available? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23162551 I would set soemthing like that up to ALWAYS be able to function without any type of services from any utility co. This is true,if i went this far i would have all running off solar/wind power,also make sure the land you buy you have water rights. |

Property tax's were $17 for 6 months. I emailed the real estate agent and she confirmed it. $34 a year property tax's. I decided against it. The cabin was to big. High ladder work on the sides. I'm to old for that crap.... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23162551 I would set something like that up to ALWAYS be able to function without any type of services from any utility co. years ago I saw a story about the poor rural Chinese who used methane generated from their own sewage as a source of fuel to run all sorts of equipment and to cook with. They somehow ran pipes into the sewage pit that naturally creates methane and used the gas.. Quite brilliant if you ask me. No methane build up, and kill 2 birds with one stone. |

Just buy one of those systems like ecoloblue to produce water from air. But the water system has to the be the solar model. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18376798 United States 09/10/2012 01:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There's a way to get around zoning laws in Indiana if you know the secret. It's call the Log Cabin Law. You or a volunteer have to do 65% of the work. You can easily find this law by typing in either Indiana Log Cabin Law or Indiana Log Cabin Rule. Not going to say which county, but my mom worked for the county planning commission for 39 years. They try to find ways to get around this law. Sometimes the electric company will refuse to hook you up without a permit, but if you plan on being completely off the grid then there's no problem. |

Just give me a loft and I'm good to go. Quoting: ANHEDONIC me too, some people on the other hand are quite spoiled and want to live in huge mansions The bigger the house, the more useless shit you have to buy to fill it. We used to live in a large house and I don't ever want another one. You spend too much time taking care of it, when you could be spending that time outdoors gardening, etc. |
