comms, you're on the right track. i too learned everything i know by starting small and doing everything i could myself, making endless errors along the way.

anything of value takes a long time to make happen.

for patti and i, it was 15 years of finding the property, paying it off and putting up the smallest of dwellings. it took another 25 years of living on it full-time to work the bugs out.

focus on only what you can accomplish today, but plan for the long term. and in the end, you might just get your wish and build a legacy for your kids, and their kids.

good luck!!!!
