Good for you! If I were young I am sure I would choose some alternate lifestyle to my comfortable one started before 1950 and moving on to Florida in the 90’s. The pattern was there and we followed it. I would love a tiny cabin in the mountains...for a while!
I’m not young-a lot of people my age in cities are retired-something we don’t do in my family. I was brought up on a ranch, and don’t live in cities.
I’m a widow-I can do as I choose-so I’m going back to the way I was raised-I enjoy keeping a natural lifestyle, big garden, some livestock-I’m not changing my work hours in construction, and I’m going to build my own house, with the guys I work with now, and using some really interesting products and techniques I have researched, hoping they perform well so I can convince my customers to use them.
One of the places I intend to buy from is a place called Eco-Smart that is located in Florida-they have suppliers with stuff that makes sense at prices that do, too. No tiny house for me, though-I need a decent kitchen and a garage.
