We all like to think we are self sufficient, but in reality, we all depend on others, and a small, organized group will be far more sustaining than any individual. Groups allow for some degree of specialization and trade.

I think if there is a moral to "Good Neighbors", it's exactly that, just look at the title. But mostly it's just entertaining.

Ok, the blog is setup at: http://www.self-sufficient-home.com/

I have written an about, requirements and 2 posts as of now.

I am updating the previous homes we looked at first in hopes to catch up to where we are now very soon.

The blog still needs a logo/header and a few other minor changes but it's live.

Thanks:)

I updated with a new post: http://www.self-sufficient-home.com/25-a-house-with-a-view.html TONS more pictures and information.

As I have learned more pics = better. I`ll be doing a post on this topic soon too because I think it will be useful for anyone buying a home.

(I`m still playing catchup and for those here I`ll spill the beans the agent selling was rude, said the bank takes forever to reply, so we are not counting on it, and she also said the last counter was for 380k frown ) So, on to more homes,... this will be a post soon too.
