Self-sufficiency cabin type bloke in a Canadian forest. He is married and she sometimes joins him at the cabin. He is extremely skilled. And obviously hard working.
One thing I’ve found from living in a cabin/house that DH built himself, bit by bit, is that non-smooth wood, whether ceiling, trim, or whatever, is impossible to clean. All dirt, cobwebs, dust etc sticks to it and cannot be wiped or dusted off. There is a lot to be said for smoothly sanded surfaces! :-)
