I bought 43 acres in NM (23 miles to the nearest gas station), and hired some mexicans (legal) to build a little "hacienda". It's a thousand sq foot, with a good heat pump. But, the crown for me is the outside porch with the evaporative spray set-up. It keeps you 20 degrees cooler, and makes an excellent environment for smoking! the deer and the antelope don't give a damn!
I'll bet the PETA people would come to their defense, though, and protect their "rights"!
Those cooling-spray evaporitive systems are a great idea for that purpose. Congrats!
Hallelujah!
Tell me the porch has a rail for resting a muzzleloader.
